Mario Coasters Review from The Rogue Streak -Review


Today I have another very unique item that I am really excited to share with you all. I have a great gift that would be pretty much perfect for anyone. These are custom coasters from an etsy shop by the name of The Rogue Streak. This is a pretty awesome etsy shop I must say. The owner of the Rogue Streak is Dana and she is based out of Kentucky. She sent me one of her top selling coaster sets which is Mario themed. I am pretty much obsessed with these. I have been looking for coasters for my home for quite some time and these are just perfect. I am actually truly amazed with the quality of these coasters and that's for sure! Not only do these coasters look really nice, they are actually really durable too! I was also really impressed with the how she packed these up for me. Honestly when this package arrived on my front door I had no idea what it was lol. The box was superrrrr heavy and it also took me a few minutes to open everything.


She packaged up everything amazing! The coasters were wrapped up so nicely, there was no possible way that these were going to get destroyed in transit to me. Not only was everything very protected it was also very neat and put together beautifully. She included a hand written card which was very nice too! She also threw some candy in there too which is always a nice little bonus lol.


If Mario isnt your thang then dont worry she has plenty of other coasters to choose from on her website that would probably be more appealing for you. Personally I don't see how you couldn't love Mario! I am  beyond obsessed Mario was a HUGE part of my childhood so when I seen these listed on her site I knew that I had to make them mine!


Lets get into the details on these coasters. She sells these coasters in sets of 4 and 6. The one that i received to review is in a set of 5. The listing price is only $16.00 and when you break that down it comes out to be only $3.20 each which is insanely reasonable! These are home made and you cant even find great prices like this in a store. I think my favorite little "feature" about these coasters are the felt feet placed on the back of each coaster. This way you dont have t worry about these scratching the surface that you plan oon using these with.


Included in my box was also a hand made ornament! These you can add on to any order that you have with this shop. These are adorable little ornaments that will look amazing on your Christmas tree.  She also has a huge variety of these on her Etsy shop too. All the proceeds to these ornaments are going to a family in need this holiday so make sure you check those out too! I am really in love with my ornament I think it adds the perfect finishing touch to my tree and I love the style of this ornament as well. You truly can't find ornaments like these in the store either.


I know when you see things listed online you become hesitant to purchase them because you cant really hold and feel what these products are like in real life.  But I am here to assure you that these products are amazing. I am really impressed with these coasters and they are beautiful as well. I know for a fact that I will have these for a long time. If you are looking for Christmas gifts for friends or family these might be the perfect thing to get for them!


I would now like to thank the Rogue Streak for being featured on my blog. I really hope all of you take the time to check out her Etsy shop even if you don't plan on buying anything!

Creative Nik Naks! Review

 
Hey Everyone! I hope everyone had a great Easter! I know that I did! It was so nice to be surrounded by friends, family and great food lol. Today's review will be Easter themed :) I am excited to be sharing this with you. I will be showing you an adorable card made by Creative Nik Nak's on Etsy. I have worked with this shop before and everything that they make is truly beautiful. I will make sure to include a link to the other blog post I did about another item from this shop if you are curious to see that as well.
  
 
The card that was sent to me to review is Easter themed as you can tell from the picture lol. It has an adorable chocolate bunny on the front. I am in love with this card. It is so well made. It looks super simple but yet really cute as well too. I love all the colors that are on this card. I think her color choices she made to make this card was phenomenal. The pastel colors really make the brown bunny pop. As you can see from the picture below this is a 3D type card. It has some depth to it which is also pretty cool. My favorite thing about this card it that it's so unique. Have you ever been to a party or something and someone brought the same card as you? Talk about embarrassing lol. It might not be a big deal to some people, but to me it is. I love having a card that is unique and something that person will probably never receive again, and with this card that helps with that.
 
Retails:($3.80)
 
 
This card is beautifully made. All the pieces are put together really nicely. It's almost really hard to tell that this card is homemade. She makes some amazing things on her page, this isn't just it. You might be thinking why the heck are you showing me an Easter card after Easter? Just because it's after Easter I wanted to show you the craftiness behind the card in general. This shop creates custom pieces so I am sure she has some things planned for the upcoming holidays, or if you had some ideas for a card she could create it for you.

 
This card measures 5 inches by 7 inches. It also comes with it's own envelope as well, which is nice because that gives you one less thing to worry about as well. Inside this card it has a blank inside which is probably my favorite part about this card in general. I love having blank card just because it gives you more room to write something and then you don't have to worry about having it say something cheesy, which is what store bought card are known for lol. I always find the perfect card and then I open it up and it say's something cheesy! which is annoying lol. This way I can write with my massive hand writing and say exactly what I want to say!

Custom Cookies By Gigi Holiday Gift Guide Review!


 
 
Today on my blog I have something that I have never had the chance to review yet, so this is pretty exciting for me! I have some delicious treats from a shop by the name of
She sent me some amazing goodies to try out and I am so beyond grateful and excited to share my review on each one with you!


How I am going to go on with this review, is I am going to go through each different treats and share my reviews on each of them. Up first we have three chocolate covered pretzel rods! She decorated these for the Fall/Thanksgiving time and they are adorable. These are your basic pretzel rods, and she covered them with chocolate. When I mean covered I really mean that too lol. These have so much chocolate on them, its crazy lol. The first one is covered in orange, yellow, and brown sprinkles. The pretzel rod in the center is covered with some super cute and festive fall leaf sprinkles. The last one is decorated with three pieces of candy corn. She did a really good job at decorating these, and packaging them up really nice too. Each pretzel rod is individually packaged, and has a bow at the end of each bag.


As you can see from the picture below these are pretty big in size. To be 100% honest I am not a huge chocolate fan, but I was actually really excited to try these the most. The chocolate that is covered on these is soooooo delicious. It's not super rich and it's just the perfect milk chocolate. This is the perfect example of salty and sweet. I really enjoyed these, and thought they really hit the spot. This is a good treat to snack on. I was surprised on how filling these were, I cant imagine anyone eating more then one of these lol.

 
Next up we have some cookie pops! Yep that's right a Cookie pop! I have never seen anything quite like this before so I was excited to try these out as well. Pretty much all these are, is a dipped oreo cookie with some little decorations, on a little stick! How clever! Oreo cookies are my favorite so for me this was a hit from first glance lol.

 
The one I decided to try was the one with the sprinkles on it. It looks gorgeous out of the packaging, I love how she chose these sprinkles, they look so good placed on top on the chocolate and adds a little bit of pizazz.
 
 
I took a bite out of it, and this is what it looks like in the center, I was surprised to se that there's actually some chocolate in the center as well. That was a pretty nice surprise lol. I thought these were amazing, so good that they were dangerous lol. This is the treat me and boyfriend fought over the most lol. We both thought they were amazing! I was so surprised with how well these were held together, these stayed on the sticks pretty good which was a surprise. I just imagined a treat like this was going to be a huge mess, but I was totally wrong.

 
She also included a small bag of smaller cookies with some candy corn inside as well. These little cookies were the perfect little treat. These were the cookies that are pretty popular, with the Hershey kiss on the top of them. This is also a treat I have seen all over online, but yet haven't had the chance to try yet....until now. These were perfect, they were sweet but not too sweet! I thought these were pretty good, and I also love how she packaged these in a little bag all by themselves, they almost look like a small goodie bag, which is adorable.

 
 
Up next we have a candy apple. Now this is the only treat that I didn't get to try, just because these are my Mom's favorite, so I let her do the honors on this one and try it for herself. This is an apple covered in milk chocolate and covered in small M&M's this had so much chocolate on it! Definitely if you are a huge chocolate lover you will for sure love this.
 
 
As you can tell from this picture this is a massive treat lol. The M&m's are over the entire apple, even on the bottom as well, which was crazy to see. My mom loved this and said it was great as well. She ate on this for a very long time, and just occasionally would have a bite or 2 every day or so. She kept this in our fridge and it stayed in pretty much perfect shape which was pretty cool.
 
 
 
This box also came with 10 chocolate chip cookies! I was so glad to see these in the box, just because you can never go wrong with cookies! Everyone loves cookies, and I know that I do lol. These were packaged really cute, and pretty nice as well. They were packaged all by themselves, stacked on top of each other. There was a ribbon that was tied to the bag as well. These arrived perfect as well! Not even a small crack in any of the cookies either!
 
 
So here's what the cookies look like out of the package. They just look like your basic chocolate chip cookies. These were soo good too! This was the perfect texture for a cookie too. I'm not a huge fan of soft cookies, and I know some people are, and I'm not a fan of super crunchy/hard cookies. These were little right in the middle. The outside had a little bit of a crunch to them, and the center was super soft. Let's just say these were a hit in my house hold and they didn't really stand a chance lol. These were eaten pretty much as soon as they were even opened.  If you do decide to purchase some cookies from her, here's a fun little tip. I placed one cookie in the microwave for 5 second before eating it, and it was amazing! The chocolate was a little melted, and it was soooo good. My mouth is watering thinking about it all over again lol.

 
Now if anyone was really paying attention you may have seen this little guy in the top picture. I actually lost my picture of this so I had to ask the shop owner for one of hers, so here it is! This is a little turkey made out of all kinds of treats! The base is an Oreo cookie, and the turkey itself is made out of small Reese's cups, candy corn, and sprinkles. I have seen this all over Pintrest and other online blogs, and found it super adorable and pretty creative. When I seen this in the box I was super excited to see it! 1. Because I will never be able to make something like this and 2. I wanted to try all the candy of course. Let me also tell you that this arrived in perfect condition! I was super surprised with how well this held up with being shipped to me. This was really tasty, and had lots of good flavors in it. Personally I think this kind of treat makes for the perfect decoration, and it's something you could eat as well! Which is just awesome, literally what else could you even ask for!
 
 

 
 
 
 

I am so impressed with the quality of all these yummy treats that I received. Everything was packaged amazing, and everything looked so great. I was surprised that everything arrived perfect nothing came broken or anything. This shop owner is extremely talented and knows how to make some amazing food and that's for sure! She makes so many great things, and the possibilities are truly endless she can make anything!, and makes them in any color scheme that you are looking for. If you have a party coming up and need some delicious sweets, this is the shop you need to contact!
 
Everything that came in this box was literally amazing. I have never had so many sweets in all my life, and I did it all for you guys lol. I have no regrets with eating all this either lol so I want to say Thank you to the shop owner for sending me all these amazing treats.
 
Stay tuned to more blogs coming with more of this amazing food. I'm pleased to announce that this shop will be featured every so often with her newest creations!

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!
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 :)

ShowGirlDesigns On Etsy! Holiday Gift Guide Review!

 
I have 2 different items from a shop called ShowGirlDesigns to review for you today.
 
 
The first item I have to review is this adorable police officer ornament. I am abousluey in love with this. I think she did a great job at capturing a police officer's uniform and making it an ornament. This is plastic ornament which is perfect if you have kids, or if your just clumsy just like myself lol. In my opinion I love plastic ones much better, because you don't have to worry about them breaking, and when you store them away all year they don't need to be wrapped up as much.
 
Retails:($12.00)
 
 
She took royal blue sparkles and put it all on the inside of the ornament, which made it look amazing! Then she placed a vinyl deal with the Police officer badge, and for the perfect finishing touch the star in the center is gold, which make it pop when it's next to that navy blue color.

 
The last item I have to review today for you guys, is this cup! If anyone knows me you all know that I love cups, and you really can't have enough lol I may have problem! I am super excited to add this one to my collection, and I can honestly say I don't have a cup quite like this one!
 
 
I am not a huge fan of green, but now I am lol. I love the green sparkles on the cup. It's super pretty and really eye catching as well. On the front of the cup it says "Just A Small Town Girl" which immediately makes me say in my head "Living in a lonely world" lol. Anyway, back to the cup! This is super  cute cup and she did an amazing job and decorating it. I think the choice to use the white decal against the green sparkles was a great choice.

 
This cup also comes with a straw, attached the straw is a green bow, which goes perfectly with this green color scheme. I think this adds the perfect touch to this cup!
 
 
The back of the cup is plain, just the green sparkles.
I really do like this cup in general and I love how it has a handle!
 
 
The ornament would make a great gift for any police officer, or for a family who has a police officer in it. The cup would make a great gift for any friend, family, co- worker, this would be a great gift to fill with candy or other small things.
 
Overall I'm super impressed with this shop. She makes a huge variety of different products, and they are really endless. She is one of the most friendly shop owners I have spoke with, she will do whatever it takes to make her customers happy. She is extremely talented and  I am in love with this shop!

CandlesByLori.com Holiday Gift Guide Review!


Candles By Lori

I received a holiday candle from an online website www.candlesbylori.com


She sent me one of her pillar candles from her holiday collection. The scent that she sent to me is the candy cane bliss candle. This smells amazing! It's so strong and I was super surprised by that. Peppermint is one of my favorite scents by far so this had to live up to some huge expectations, in which it did.
Retails:($10.00)


I love how the colors of wax really do looks like candy canes. It add's that perfect touch to the candle. I am pretty much in love with candle to be honest. As soon as I opened the package out of the mail I could instantly smell the candle lol.


I took pictures of this candle as soon as I opened it. I did use it a few times, to try it out to get the whole experience and let me just tell you this candles works wonders. It made my whole house smell like candy cane. It's pretty crazy how this small candle is so powerful.

I would definitely recommend this shop for candles. This candle is probably one of the best homemade ones I have ever tried by far. I'm super curious in trying some more of her products. 

This candle would make the perfect holiday gift for anyone, its in the perfect holiday scent!
