ThimblePress Review!

Hi Everyone! Today I will be taking a closer look at some products from an online store called Thimble Press. I am truly blessed to have found this shop while browsing online. I am in love with so many products that are for sale on this site. They have such a wide range of products too which is pretty cool. They have products such as greeting cards, notebooks, calendars, wall décor, tote bags and so many other fun and cute things! I am really excited to get into the review. They sent me a wide range of products and I am pretty excited to share them all with you all.

 

I figured I would start this blog post off with a bang by reviewing the biggest item first. This is one of their tote bags that they have listed on their site. They have a few other designed listed on the website too. The design that I received is this adorable pattern with red lips. This image is printed right on to the bag, and I can tell that is was done really nicely. The image feels really secured to the bag which I know a lot of you probably have some concerns about. I love how durable this bag feels too. I must admit that this is probably one of the most sturdy bags that I own.

Retails:($22.00)

 

Online it says that the fabric used to make this tote is a durable cotton cloth material. In my opinion this feels a lot like canvas. So you can just imagine how thick the bag really is. The measurements for this tote bag is 20″ x 15″. I think my favorite part about this bag in general is that it is machine washable which is extremely helpful. It's hard to find bags that are in fact machine washable and this is nice! It also says online that you must only wash these totes in cold water. If you do decide to purchase one of these adorable totes for yourself make sure you follow those instructions because I a sure that will help keep the life of your bag a little longer :)

I didn't think it was too necessary for me to share this piece with you but I decided to share it anyways because of how adorable it is. This is the note that was inside my package from Thimble Press and I have to say it's way to adorable not to share with you guys.

 

 

At this time I do want to thank everyone at Thimble Press for sending me these items to review for the blog! I love everything so far including the little note that was inside. I plan on using this somewhere in my room, I love the small pop of pink color in this picture.

The next two items we will be looking at are adorable greeting cards. Each card is indivually wrapped and has its own matching envelope which is nice as well, these are on the smaller size so finding an envelope for these would probably be a huge pain, so  have no worries because it was all done for you :)

Retails:($5.00)

On the site this card is called "Florida orange blossom gold foil card". The design for this card is gorgeous as you can tell it is all white with gold foil detailing. The actual design is pretty creative. It is the shape of the state of Florida and inside the state is the state flower for Florida which is the orange blossom. I thought this was pretty appropriate considering I live in Florida.  I think that the gold details on the front looks really nice against the white card. I think it's a little on the plain side which is really nice too.

 

 

The next card we will be taking a look at has "Best Day Ever" printed on the front of it. This card is a lot different from the previous one that I shared with you all. This is more on the colorful side and I really like it. This card also comes with an envelope too. I really like how you can buy these card by themselves or if you really like a design of one you can purchase a box of 8 of them.

Retails:($4.50)

 

I think my favorite part about both of these cards is that the inside of each of them is blank. So you can really use both of these cards for any occasion which is cool. The fact that there is no writing in the inside also gives you the opportunity to write a longer message which is really cool too. I write pretty big so it's always hard for me to write inside cards because I always end up running out of room. I wont have to worry about that with these.

The last thing that we will be looking at is called "The original push-pop confetti". This is such a cute product and I have seen nothing quite like this before. Pretty much what this product does is once you push the top up all the confetti inside will pop out and fly around everywhere. I love the one that I received all the confetti at the top of pop is super colorful and really bright. This would be a great product for all kinds of celebrations. I think this is such a cute idea and I am sure they are a lot of fun to use. They have so many different types of these listed on their site as well, even some for a gender reveal party! That would be so adorable!

Retails:($9.00)

 

Overall I am impressed with the online store. All of their products are adorable and really well made. I can't pick a favorite item because I loved all the ones I received. If your looking for anything that falls into the category of adorable stuff lol. I suggest checking them out! All the products I received are really well made too which is also really important. I think this is a site you could spend hours on looking at all of their products. I am amazed with how much is really listed on this site too!

Jewelry by Justine! Review

Hi Everyone, I have another jewelry review for all of you today! Today we will be getting a closer look at an online jewelry store by the name of Jewelry By Justine. I discovered this shop on instagram and instantly fell in love with everything that was posted on their page. The shop owner told me she would be sending me a piece to review, and when this arrived on my door step I was super excited because this was my favorite piece that was listed on their webpage!

 

 

First before we get into the review of the actual jewelry piece we have to discuss the packaging and how it was sent to me. I was impressed with the super fast shipping first of all.  By the time we talked I felt like this arrived just a few days after which was pretty nice as well. It arrived in an adorable little box, and then the necklace itself was in a bag to help keep it more secure. I love when jewelry is shipping in boxes like these, because I usually end up hanging on to them for either myself later down the road, or when you have gifts to give that are jewelry items. I also put them in boxes because it makes them look so much nicer, so it's always good to have a few of these empty boxes laying around, you never know when you might need one!

 

Inside each package that you receive from Jewelry by Justine you will also receive a little paper on the care instructions which is extremely helpful. I also purchase my jewelry online and I never know how to clean it. Especially when it doesn't come with the instructions. Cleaning jewelry makes me nervous in general because I always think I am going to mess something up lol. I can reassure myself that with this one I wont mess it up because it came with instructions :)

 

This is the item I was sent to review as you can see this is a pineapple necklace and I am so in love! Jewelry by Justine has a few different pineapple necklaces listed on their site for sale but this one is called "MAMA PINA NECKLACE". This is the biggest pineapple one for sale and I think its perfect. Pineapples are my favorite fruit ever, and having them be so adorable just gives me another reason to why there my favorite lol. I love this piece because it really screams summer time, which is something I absolutely cant wait for. Living in Florida I love having pieces that are in the tropical category because these are pretty perfect to wear year long.

Retails:($60.00)

 

Here is a close up of the actual pendant it self. I know it's probably hard to tell from this picture, but this pineapple isn't solid which is something else I really like about it. It has small holes throughout the piece, which makes this super lightweight and really comfy in wearing. I hate wearing jewelry that is big and chunky and this is so not! I would consider this to be more of delicate. Delicate necklace are really in style right now as well.  I am typically not a huge fan of gold and I never wear it but in this case I love it! I actually don't think I would like this necklace in silver. I think the gold is just beautiful and really makes the pineapple pop!

 

The description for this item on the website is:

"14k gold-filled chain. Mama pina is vermeil which is 14k gold plated over sterling silver. Length is 20"

 

You don't have to worry about this turning your neck green, or getting yucky which is a huge plus as well. I love the length of the necklace as well. I think the 20 inch chain is perfect for pretty much anyone. It isn't too long and it isn't too short either. I think most people would be happy with the length of this chain too. I am pretty in love with this piece and think this is a high quality jewelry piece. I have been wearing it for a few days and haven't taken it off, and I'm pretty surprised with how well it's holding up! I will definitely be wearing this a lot during the summer and that's for sure!

 

 

I highly suggest checking this online store out for yourself. I'm almost certain you will find something that you can't live without. There are so many gorgeous pieces you will fall in love with!

Love Is A Rose! Review

 

For today's review I will be sharing a product from an online website called Love is a rose. The product that this website sent me to review is a gorgeous 24kt gold plated rose. This website is filled with all kinds of really awesome gift ideas. If flowers aren't really your thing, then don't worry they have plenty of other options to pick from including some really adorable personalized family tree's. This is a one of a kind website and that's for sure, it's definitely worth the time to look at it and all the products that they do offer. I think this a site that specializes in gifts. These are gifts are super meaningful as well and something you can't just pick up at your local department stores. This arrived to me in the perfect time. I actually gifted this item to my grandmother and she just adored it!

 

 

In the beginning of this review I mentioned that the item I would be reviewing for you all would be a rose. I would first like to start off by stating that the packaging for these roses is really well done. Each rose is placed in a really nice box that has a gold ribbon tied around it. The logo of the website is also as the bottom of the box in gold as well. I love the contrast between the white and the gold. It really looks nice. Inside the box the roses are also wrapped in bubble wrap too. I was super surprised with how well these were wrapped up and how well this really held up in the mail. This rose arrived in perfect condition along with box it was inside as well. They really nailed the packaging down for these roses. That is one less thing you will have to worry about if you do decide to purchase one of these roses.

 

 

Inside the box each rose comes with its own little card of a description of the item. This helps the person learn about the item that they are receiving and figure out special this item truly is. This is nice especially if you end up sending this to someone and cant be with them when they open the gift.

 

 

Here is the rose that was sent to me! As you can see this is a gorgeous piece. It's not everyday that you find something this gorgeous for a gift. I love giving gifts that are a little unique and with this I was able to achieve this. I don't think I have ever seen an item quite like this one before. I love how realistic this rose looks, which I wasn't really expecting either.

 

http://www.loveisarose.com/ILYR8/personalized-i-love-you-rose-8in.html

Retails:($79.95)

 

I think probably the coolest thing about these rose is that they are personalized. You can personalize these a million different ways. Okay maybe not a million ways, but you get the point there is a bunch of different ways to personalize these. As you can see the rose that I received is red, you can pick from a variety colors such as pink, purple, blue and yellow. The message on my flower says "I love you". this is another option in personalizing your rose. You can have these roses say anything which is awesome.

 

You can add charms, or even birthstone to the rose petals as well. Like I said there are so many options with these flowers, so you can make them special for literally anyone. I am in love with this rose and so was my grandmother. I could tell this rose meant a lot to her which is really important to me. I think these would be one of the best Mother's Day presents out these.

 

I'm not even going to lie to you all. When I first seen this listed on their website I was kind of hesitant as too how these would be in real life. I thought that maybe they would not hold up and be extremely flimsy. I was so wrong. As you can tell from the image below the steams on these flowers are pretty thick which I wasn't expecting. These are pretty sturdy.

 

 

The description for this product on their website is:

"An 11 inch preserved rose personalized with "I Love You" on the real rose petal. Or you may have it say "I ♥ U" The rose is freshly cut at the height of its bloom and preserved in a durable lacquer and then trimmed in pure 24k gold. We have several vases available for a beautiful way to display the rose. She (or he) will love the perfect gift of an everlasting personalized gold rose for an anniversary, birthday, Valentine's Day, Christmas, or any occasion."

 

I highly suggest checking out this site for yourself. You will fall in love with these roses. They would make an awesome or even an awesome gift for yourself. If you are looking for something unique and super meaningful then this is the website for you!

String Beans Inc! Review

For today's review I will be showing you a few different items from an etsy shop by the name of String Beans Inc. This shop is filled with all types of wonderful items. Her shop is truly adorable and has some one of a kind pieces that blow my mind. Here you can find jewelry, sunglasses, purses, décor and so much more. She does such an amazing job at offering something for pretty much everyone. I'm almost certain you will be able to find something in this shop you just cant live without so I suggest checking it out for yourself :)

 

The very first item I will be sharing with all of you today is this bib style of necklace. I must say this isn't something I would typically wear but I love it. This would look great with so many different looks and you could really dress this up or even dress it down too. The fact that it's black too makes styling this piece a lot easier as well. This would look great with so many different colors, or even with just a black outfit too.

 

The thing that I really like about this necklace is that you tie it. You don't have to worry about fussing with a tiny clip to get this necklace on and off which can be a huge pain at times. I hate asking for help when putting on jewelry to be honest lol, so this makes it so much easier for me. I wont have to ask for help when wearing this which is a huge bonus for me!

 

This necklace is super light weight, it might not look like it is, but it truly is. I was quite surprised how light and comfy it would be. I thought this necklace was going to be kind of itchy too because I just figure on the back of the necklace it would be scratchy from the rhinestones, but the back of this necklace is completely flat. When this is laid against your chest you can hardly feel it

Retails:($15.00 not the same necklace but a very similar style)

 

Next up we have two pairs of earrings to take a closer look at. She sent me two of the same pair of earrings just different colors. These are stud style earrings, which are probably my favorite because you can literally wear these with anything. These match with everything and they are so easy to wear, and they are usually super comfortable as well. I never last a day or night ir I am wearing big earrings, the only ones that I usually end up keeping in my ears are studs. In my opinion you can never have to many right lol. The studs that she sent me are in a bronze/brown color and a blue color. They both have a matte finish to them which is super popular right now. I think the colors she sent me are gorgeous. I'll probably get the most use out of the blue ones, just because I think these are going to be perfect for the spring and summer time.

 

https://www.etsy.com/listing/266603151/double-sided-earrings-fresh-onyx-with?ref=shop_home_active_1

Retails:($5.00 for one pair)

 

The thing that really makes these stand our from your traditional stud earrings, is that these are pretty much two earrings in one! The backs of these you could easily flip around and were them reversed. I have seen some of these before and have been curious about them to be quite honest. I love the whole concept of these, just because you can get so much wear out of them and you get two different looks. They are pretty similar, but then again really different too. I am super excited about these.

 

The next item I have for you all today is this gorgeous necklace. I was unable to find the link for this one or something similar to this so please bare with me. Out of all the items she sent me I think this has to be my favorite one. This is gold necklace with silver crystal accents. I think it is truly gorgeous. I'm not typically a fan of gold, but in this case I am. The actual chain of this necklace is pretty heavy duty and seems pretty durable. This is another piece you could wear a million plus ways. These are the types of jewelry piece I am a big fan of. I like being able to wear my jewelry with all kinds of outfits, that is important to me. 

 

Here's a close up of the actual necklace so you can see the crystals on this piece. As you can see this is gorgeous. This is bib type style of necklace too which is one my new discovered favorites. I have to say I wore this out one time and was impressed with the quality of this piece. I received a million compliments as well on this. I do have to say I don't recommend wearing this when it's cold lol The metal gets freezing! This is a pretty heavy piece, but it is really comfortable as well.

I bet you will never guess what's inside this coral colored pouch..... lol

 

Sun glasses! Lol I'm sure you all guessed that from the picture above. Anyways she sent me this pair of gorgeous glasses that I am kind of obsessing over at the moment. This is totally outside my comfort zone completely. I usually wear aviators and that's all that I stick with. I am sooooo loving these however. It's not everyday you find glasses like these. They are so different and so funky which is why I really love them. The round style is such a hot trend right now.

 

https://www.etsy.com/listing/268023581/sunglasses-big-round-clear?ref=shop_home_active_8

Retails:($20.00 not the exact glasses but the same style)

 

I love the gold accents on the front of these it adds a little pizzazz to the glasses which is important of course. As you can see from the sides of these glasses they are covered in different colors.  It isn't in your face however. It isn't noticeable right at first but once you look at them you will start to notice. There are hints of pinks, blue, reds, oranges, and white. These are going to be perfect for summer time because they are going to match with some many outfits. Another thing I really like is that these glasses are super sturdy. The plastic that these are made out of is super durable and really thick. I am notorious for breaking sunglasses, but I'm sure these will stand up to my roughness with glasses which is really exciting!

 

I am in love with everything that I received from this shop! Everything has amazing quality, and everything is super trendy and stylish. Her prices are amazing as well. I would highly suggest having a look for yourself :)

LuDesignsCreations On Etsy! Holiday Gift Guide Review!

 

I received two different jewelry items from a shop on Etsy by the name of LuDesignsCreations

The first item that this shop owner sent me to review is a necklace. A very long necklace at that as well lol. This necklace is gorgeous, it has a turtle pendant on it, and I'm obsessed! Turtles are my favorite so this necklace was an instant hit with me! Lol.

 

 

The pendant on this necklace is gorgeous! as you can tell from this picture you can see there is a lot of details in this little guy. There are some pretty cool cutouts all through out the turtle which makes it pretty gorgeous. I love how much detail is in this for sure. As far as the pendant goes, this is a pretty solid and sturdy piece. I'm not even going to lie, it is a bit heavy, but its not something that is going to be too annoying to wear. I think this it like the perfect weight not too heavy and not too light either which is great.

 

As far as the chain goes, you can tell from this picture that this is a pretty thick chain. This is something new for my considering all my necklaces that I do own have pretty thin chains, so I was excited to see something a little different for me to try out. One plus about having a chain as thick as this one is that you really don't have to worry about it getting all tangled up, which is awesome. I'm constantly fixing all the necklace chains, because I'm notorious for getting them all tangled up together, which is a bit annoying lol.

 

The next item I have to review for all of you, is a ring. This ring is advertised as being a midi/ knuckle ring, but when I first opened this I didn't know that lol. It actually fits me pretty perfectly as just a regular ring. I'm not really a fan of this style of ring, but when I wear it like a normal ring I really like it. I'm not a huge fan of rings all together, just because they always get in my way and I always end up taking them off because they get uncomfortable. That wasn't the case with this ring however. I usually only wear my class ring which I haven't taken off probably sense I have graduated highschool lol. I decided to switch it up a little and wear this ring for a full day and see how I would like it!

https://www.etsy.com/listing/233526507/handmade-bronze-knuckle-ring-midi-ring?ref=shop_home_active_8&ga_search_query=ring

Retails:($19.00)

 

I really liked wearing this ring. The design is pretty simple, which makes this jewelry piece easy to wear with pretty much anything. I wore this throughout my entire day, and I will say that this is an incredibly comfortable jewelry piece I was actually quite surprised to be honest. I didn't even hesitate to take this off through out my day, and it stayed in place the entire time and didn't bother me at all, which is really surprising for me. This is pretty much a prefect ring, not too heavy and not too light. This ring feels like something I'm going to have for quite some time, and I cant wait to wear it some more. I'm so glad I have this now to add to my jewelry collection :)

 

 

Overall I'm highly impressed with these jewelry items. They are high quality pieces and really affordable as well.

 

These would be great gifts for any jewelry lover! This shop has a wide selection too which will make it easy to find the perfect gift :)
