JTV.com Green Flourite Marquise Necklace Review

I was so lucky a few months ago to feature some of the wonderful products that JTV.com offers.  I am excited to bring you another review featuring a gorgeous item that they sent me.  JTV.com has a massive selection of amazing jewelry.  This is the perfect website for any jewelry lover.  They offer something for all different tastes too.  They also offer items in all different price ranges.  Their items are great to treat yourself to something nice.  However, their jewelry makes impressive gifts.  Are you looking for a great gift for Mother's Day, that special graduate, or birthday?  I am certain that JTV.com offers something that would put a smile on their face.  

I received a Green Flourite Marquise Necklace.  This is a stunning necklace that JTV.com offers.  It has a very classy and elegant look to it.  The Flourite piece in this necklace is extremely eye catching.  I would personally describe the color as something between an emerald and an aquamarine.  It's gorgeous.  The 7.12 ct. Flourite is set in Sterling.  The pendant also comes with a sterling silver chain too.  The outer part of the pendant has round white topaz stones set around it.  They even offer a ring that would look amazing with the pendant!

I can't say enough about this beautiful Green Flourite Marquise Necklace.  I am truly impressed by the low price too of $99.99.  This would surely put a smile on anyone's face for Mother's Day or any occasion.  You truly can tell that this is a quality piece of jewelry.  I know it is going to be something that I wear frequently.  I have already worn it a few times and it goes great with casual clothes, but it's also perfect to add some sparkle to any dressy outfit too.  I really get a lot of people commenting on it because the color of the stone isn't something you see everyday.  

Do you know someone that would love this pendant?  It can be purchased directly from the website.  You can also see the huge selection of beautiful jewelry that they offer by visiting their website.  You can also connect with JTV.com on Facebook and Twitter too!

Cottonelle Clean Crew - Crowdtap

I first want to start off by saying, "all toilet paper is not created equal."  I am serious about this and you may be giggling, but it is true.  I guess since I am a mom this is something I pay very close attention to.  I personally love Cottonelle toilet paper.  

I was recently chosen to receive some Cottonelle products and share them with friends or family.  Well, yes, I was super excited because it's my favorite brand of toilet paper.  However, this toilet paper was their clean care line that I previously hadn't tried.  I also received some of their clean care flushable wipes and those work great too.

Why is the Cottonelle clean care toilet paper so good?  It doesn't crumble, break, or fall apart like some brands do.  That can be very frustrating - especially if you have little ones.  It just does a great job!  

So what did I think?  The clean care items from Cottonelle work great for the entire family to get them clean.  They are great for adults, but they did a wonderful job on my 6 and 8 year old too.  We love the ridges on the Cottonelle toilet paper.  I personally think that along with the combination of the quality of the paper itself really give you a great clean feeling.  

The friends and family that I shared these products with were very impressed too.  They love how well the Cottonelle clean care products work.  Have yo u given these a try?  If you do make sure you let me know what you think.

Maggie Bags Cicily Tote Mother's Day #Giveaway 5/20 CLOSED

I love great handbags.  I honestly have to admit that I have a small collection of them.  I recently found out about Maggie Bags and truly enjoyed browsing their website.  They offer beautiful bags in a variety of colors and sizes.  However, Maggie Bags are unique.  They are definitely beautiful and fashionable.  Their is something very different about them.  This makes them really fun.  They are made out of seat belts!  Very neat right?

Maggie Bags come in all different sizes, colors and styles.  I personally use a smaller handbag most of the time.  They offer smaller bags, but also offer larger tote size ones too.  Their bags began in 2009.  The bags are made using seat belts that are rejected for automobile use.  However, these seat belts make a super durable handbag.  I am so hard on my handbags.  This is why I love the idea behind Maggie Bags.  I know that a Maggie Bag is very durable and can hold up to my kids putting their entire toy collection in it and who knows what else.  Am I the only one that has this problem?

I chose the Cicily Tote from Maggie Bags.  I went with black because I love a bag that is versatile and can be worn with everything.  This bag does come in other great color choices too!  I had a feeling I'd fall in love with this bag and I did.  The bag is made of thick seat belt straps that are sewn together.  The inside is lined beautifully in satin material.  The Cicily Tote is the perfect size for me.  I am 5 feet tall and sometimes bags seem too big for me.  This tote is perfect to hold everything I need.  I love that this seat belt tote zips closed. I am clumsy and often tip my bag over completely in the car.  I love the zip closure because it prevents everything from falling out of your bag!  The Cicily Tote is available from the Maggie Bags website and can be purchased for $76.

You can see all of the great seat belt bags that Maggie Bags offers by visiting their website.  These make a wonderful gift for Mother's Day too!  You can also connect with Maggie Bags on Facebook, Twitter, and Pinterest.

Snuggle Stars Review

My kids always ask for either a night light or a hall light on.  It really can be hard to find a kid safe night light. It also always seems like if you leave the hall light on that too much light blasts into their room.  What kind of night light do you use if you have kids?

Snuggle Stars offers a fun and cute alternative to a night light for children.  These are cute animal like pillows. They have a round dome on the top of them and they project stars and constellations on your child's ceiling.  This is really neat.  The Snuggle Stars are soft and cuddly, but they also double as a fun night light.  There are a few options when it comes to these great night lights too!  You can choose the color that you want it to project.  You can also choose the option to have the color automatically change.

I love that the Snuggle Star has an option that makes the Snuggle Star automatically shut off after so long.  This is great because I honestly hate when toys eat up batteries and I'm changing them constantly.  My kids love the Snuggle Star that we received.  It projects the perfect amount of light on the ceiling at bedtime.  It makes bedtime enjoyable for them and the stars are relaxing for them to stare at as they fall asleep.

You can purchase your own Snuggle Star on Amazon!  They retail for $12.95.

I received one or more of the products mentioned above for free using Tomoson.com. Regardless, I only recommend products or services I use personally and believe will be good for my readers.

Bungalow BeBe Organic Clothing Review

Bungalow BeBe began in 2007.  They started in New York and they created great outfits for children.  They offer natural clothing.  The material is super soft and my daughter loves wearing her Bungalow BeBe outfit.  They offer cute items that your child will love to wear.  They will love to wear them too.  They offer beautiful colors in their garments.  Their items are available online or in boutiques.  

Bungalow Bebe offers cute items for both boys and girls.  They have outfits for children up to size 6.  They even offer accessories.  They offer booties, hats, shirts, pants, dresses, and skirts.  These items are made with quality material.  The material is super soft, comfy and organic.

My daughter received an adorable dress from Bungalow Bebe.  The Alize' Cosido Dress is a wonderful dress for Spring and Summer.  It is comfortable and will keep your child cool.  I love the aqua blue color and it is accented with embroidered pink flowers.  This dress is cute over a swimsuit, worn to the beach, or just as a fun sundress.  My daughter put it on over a pair of pink leggings and we both think it's adorable this way.  There are also a number of different ways you can tie the straps on this dress.  This makes it even more fun!  

The Alize' Cosido Dress is available from Bungalow Bebe in sizes 2T up to size 6.  The dress retails for only $20.  That is a very reasonable prize for an organic garment too!

MacMurray Ranch Wine Review

MacMurray Ranch offers some excellent wines.  They are fairly new to me, but I fell in love with them right away.  MacMurray Ranch makes award winning wines.  They are very passionate about Pinot Noir.  This is one of my favorites too when it comes to red wines.  The Pinot grapes come from California and Oregon.  Their vineyard is located in the Russian River Valley.  

2010 Russian River Valley Pinot Noir Reserve

This is a rich red wine.  However, it isn't as full bodied as a Cabernet or Merlot.  It is dry and full of flavor.  This is a bottle that I would suggest breathing for a bit before drinking.  I allowed it to breath a little over 30 minutes and the flavor was excellent.  The wine is smooth and it is said to have a kind of cherry-like flavor.  It is made with 100% Pinot Noir grapes  This bottle retails for about $37.  

2011 Russian River Valley Chardonnay

This is one of my new favorites when it comes to Chardonnay.  It is very light and smooth.  It was easy to drink too.  It is said to exhibit flavor like apple or tropical fruit.  The wine is from Sonoma County.  This bottle retails for about $20.
