Triangle Peg Game Review from Rustic Trail Crafts on Etsy!

Today we will be taking a closer look at a very unique Etsy store. I am so excited to be sharing this shop with you. The name of this shop is Rustic Trail Crafts. This shop is really cool and totally caught my eye when I was browsing on Etsy recently. If you are familiar with the restaurant Cracker Barrel you are going to know exactly what these little games are. When I was little this is where I was introduced to this game to be honest with you. It's pretty much a version on checkers but you play it alone. You are given a peg board with pegs in it. There is one missing peg and you use the others to "jump". Its a very easy concept and the goal of the game is to be able to jump all the pegs so you are left with none at the end. It's really a fun and simple game to play. I remember playing it a lot as a child.

So when I seen this shop I just knew I would love to review on of their games for them. The game that they sent me to review  is one that is made out of 9mm bullets. This really caught my eye because usually when I seen these games they were only made out of golf tees's I've never seen someone take their own approach on these. Which really makes these one of a find for sure.

These are hand made which is another reason why I love them. You can really see the craftsmen ship that has gone into each game. I am super impressed with the quaulity of these. The wood alone for these are just gorgeous.

Another awesome thing that is included with the purchase of these is instructions on how to play the game in case you plan on gifting this to someone and you are unsure if they are familiar with this game or not. I am so glad they included this as well. It's just something small, but I am absolutely terrible at explaining things so this really does help me out a whole bunch for sure!

In conclusion I have nothing bad to say at all about this product. I am truly blown away with the craftsmen ship. I love how simple this is but could be such a personal gift to someone, or even yourself. I plan on keeping mine of my coffee table. It's a great simple game for you, or even your guests that come over can pick up and play. I have had this in my living room since Christmas time and it definitely is  a conversation starter for sure, and then it always turns into a competition on who will have the least amount of pegs left over. lol

I want to thank  Rustic Trail Crafts for being a part of my blog and sending me this product to review. I absolutely love it and I am so excited to own this. I hope you all take the time to check out their shop listed below:

Custom Dog Ornament Review from TheSawdustBoutique

Today I will be sharing with you something I am pretty excited about! It is a custom ornament made from a etsy shop called  TheSawdustBoutique. This shop is pretty amazing. It is filled with tons of different items all hand made out of wood! I thought now would be the perfect opportunity to review an ornament for you! No matter what breed your dog is they can find something that looks pretty darn close to your pooch! My boyfriend and I just got our dog this past August and we wanted a ornament for our tree this year to symbolize him since he is such a huge part of our lives!

Hershey is the name of our pup, and not only do they personalize it to took like your breed of dog but they also carve your dogs name in the ornament as well which is just perfect in my opinion. This is a pretty simple ornament but I absolutely love it. I love how custom it is and I can probably bet you that nobody will have this same ornament.

The ribbon that they use to make these ornaments has dog paw prints all over it. This is truly the perfect finishing touch for this pup ornament. I think it goes with it perfectly!

I am truly so happy with how this ornament came out and I can't ask for anything more to be honest. The shop owner is also extremely nice and helpful. They have tons of other things listed in their shop as well if this doesn't interest you. I would not like to thank  TheSawdustBoutique for being featured on my blog. I will make sure to include their shop link below to check out their shop!

For fun I thought it would be cool to include a picture of my precious pup Hershey so you can get an idea on what he looks like :) or maybe I just included this picture to brag about my pup....lol 

Flowers Fast! Review

I received a gorgeous surprise from the people at flowersfast.com. They sent me some gorgeous flowers to review for all of you! I was so surprised when they came in the mail for me. To be honest with all of you these were the first flowers I have ever received before so this was a pretty exciting event to happen to me lol. I made a pretty big deal about it and I'm not even going to lie to you all lol. I have no shame. Anyways lets get into this review.

 

All the flowers on their site can come with their own card as well which is really nice too. This card was attached to underneath the label on the front of the box so make sure you tell who ever is getting flowers from you to look out for the card, because I can easily see the card getting skipped over. This is the card that was included with my flowers and I love that they included this is made me feel special :)

 

My flowers that I received from this company are there mini roses and there so  beautiful! I was amazed with how they were shipped. They came right in the mail in a box and let me just tell you that they arrived in perfect condition. I never knew flowers were delivered right in a box, but that may just because I never received flowers before lol. These flowers came with the tin that they are now sitting in but they didn't come inside of the tint.

 

As you can see these roses are gorgeous. I have never seen mini roses before but I really love these, there so small and cute. I also love how some of these roses aren't fully bloomed yet. This just means that these flowers are going to last me even longer which is extremely important. Now that I have these I am going to be so sad when they do die. I am going to try my best to keep them as long as possible.

 

There is a little Daisy that was attached to the tin but I soon after discovered that this flower is magnet. How cool is that? I thought that was pretty different and I really am amazed by such a small detail. I just think the little Daisy on the tin really adds something to it so it isn't so plain, and if your not feeling the Daisy you can easily just remove it which is awesome too.

 

This was the original pot that my flowers came in. As you can tell it's just a basic plastic planter. I have seen this before and I guess this just makes it easier when there shipped. If you don't want the yellow tin that came with it, you can always use that for something else and put your flowers which is pretty nice as well.

 

Another great thing about these flowers is that they came in the dirt with their roots attached so if you really wanted to you can plant these in the ground which is beyond amazing. Most flowers that you get delivered are just the flowers themselves that have already been picked. These have full potential on growing which is phenomenal. I think these flowers are gorgeous and in a few days I think I am going to plant them in my flower bed outside of my house. I'm curious to see how these will take to living outside, I will keep you all updated with the progress on my instagram page so make sure you go and follow me there so you don't miss out www.instagram.com/daniibabii1119

 

These are roses so keep in mind they do have thorns lol. I learned that the hard way when taking them out of the yellow tin lol. I got poked, just be careful and if you decided to transfer your flowers outside make sure your wearing some gloves.

 

 Each one of their Flowers comes with a description of the flowers that you received and a quide to how to make sure they live as long as possible. I love how they included this because this makes caring for the plant much easier. I do have to admit I don't have a green thumb...like at all lol. I try! and by including this with my flowers it gives me some hope right?

 

 

I think this website is probably one of the best flower websites I have found. They have so many amazing arrangements at really low prices too! They have so many to choose from, they also offer same day delivery too which is awesome. I would highly recommend this site to anyone. Sending flowers to someone is such an amazing gesture. Now that I have experienced getting flowers I know what its like getting your own, and it feels pretty good! I will from now on send flowers to all my relatives because I want them to feel as good as I did when I got my flowers :)

TheSoapieShoppe.com! Review

 

I received some bath bombs from online store by the name of The Soapie Shoppe

 

 

The shop owner sent me a total of three different bath bombs to try which was very nice and generous of them. They did an amazing job at picking the three as well. All of the ones sent to me are actual scents that I would pick for myself, which was great! I don't know about all of you guys, but my favorite way to relax is by having a nice hot bath. I have just discovered bath bombs, and I have tried quite a few different types of them. I hear all the hype about the lush ones, and have yet to try them just because I'm pretty certain you can find something better at a much better price as well.

 

The first bath bomb that was sent to me to try was this one in the scent Cram Pom. I wasn't able to find this one on their site anymore, but I'm going to guess that the scent is Cranberry Pomegranate. At of all the three bath bombs this one was definitely the one with the most fragrance. I could smell this one over the two others instantly when I opened the package that all of these were inside of. This one is pretty basic as far as colors go. It's all one color, its a light pinkish red color. It is really pretty. The size of these bath bombs is incredible.

 

Next up we have Land Of Milk And Honey. This one I would say would be the basic bath bomb. This would be a great gift for you to give someone if you didn't know what scent they really like or if they are allergic to certain scents. I wouldn't say this one had a strong scent to it. Actually in my opinion I thought this one didn't really smell at all. Even though this one wasn't packed with any scent I really did like this one as well. This one is more about the looks in my opinion. This bath bomb is all white with some orange in it. When I say orange I mean bright orange. The dye in this one turned my whole tub orange which was amazing. I would definitely recommend this one to someone who loves bath bombs, or even just someone that has never tried them before. I know if you gave this to someone who has never tried them before they would be instantly hooked on how amazing they are.

Last we have my all time favorite Candy Cane, this one is no longer listed on the site as well. Due to this being a seasonal scent, which is super disappointing because I am obsessed with anything that is mint or candy cane scented lol. I have to say this one was the most relaxing in my opinion. I loved using this bath bomb. I can see this one being amazing for when you have a cold, or if you are just congested. This really opens you up and helps you breath a lot better. This bath bomb is all white with tiny flecks of red. This one looked gorgeous in the tub. The red really came out from this bomb.

 

 

After trying a few of these bath bombs for myself, I can honestly say these are the best bath bombs I have ever tried yet, and I have tried quite a few to be honest with you. The size alone is incredible. You could easily just use half of one of these for you entire bath if you wanted to save one. Or you can be like me and go big and go home lol and use the entire thing. I would say the fragrance in these bath bombs is pretty powerful. When I say powerful, I mean that in a good way of course. These were super relaxing to use, and I can honestly say that I'm hooked on these. They were all individually wrapped as well, and even came with the name of each one, which is super handy if you decided to order a bunch of these and cant remember which bomb is which. These arrived in perfect condition to my house, which was another thing I was worried about with these. I highly recommended this shop and I truly hope to work with them again in the future.

AshleyDavisDesigns On Etsy! Holiday Gift Guide Review!

I received an item from a shop on Etsy by the name of AshleyDavisDesigns on Etsy!

She sent me a gorgeous wire wrapped ring that she created. I really love this piece. At first when I was told she was going to be sending a wire wrapped rings I wasn't to excited to be honest. I have seen a lot of these in the past and they just never were my style. They always seemed to look cheap, or they weren't properly wrapped, so pieces of wire poked through the ring, which was annoying, but not with this ring. This piece really made me change my opinion on wire wrapped jewelry all together. I love this piece was pretty surprised that I did so much. I love how simple this piece is, this isn't a big piece so you can practically wear this with any outfit. I put this ring on to take pictures of it and was actually really surprised on how comfortable this ring really was. I'm the type of person that likes to wear the same pieces of jewelry all the time. I don't normally switch out my jewelry, just on occasion. For me jewelry needs to be comfortable and this ring really was. I was shocked, to say the least. It's super light weight and I actually forgot I was wearing it to be completely honest lol.

The stone in the middle is called an African Bloodstone, and it's really gorgeous! I love how it looks in the light. It's a darker stone with orange and black in it. This isn't usually a color of something I would go for, but in this case its different. I really do like this. I think this ring in particular screams Fall, just because of the color of the actual stone. I'm super excited to add this to my jewelry collection, and include this with some of my Fall, and Winter outfits. I think this is going to be the perfect accessory.

Overall I'm really impressed with this rings, and really glad I had the chance to work with this shop owner.

These rings would make the perfect gift for anyone really, you can customize the rings with different stones, to find the perfect one for the person you are shopping for.

KristenMarieFurr On Etsy! Holiday Gift Guide Review!

I received this one of a king cutting board from a shop by the name of  KristenMarieFurr 

She made this custom one of a kind cutting board just for me and I am crazy about it. This is probably one off the most exciting things I have reviewed here on my blog. I think it's beyond perfect and more then I could ever want honestly. This is your basic cutting board but she put her on twist on it and made it beautiful :) She used vinyl decals to decorate this. I told her I like Disney and she came up with this design all by herself, and I'm pretty obsessed with it lol. If you look at it from a distant it really looks like this design is engraved in the glass which is pretty cool how it isn't.

https://www.etsy.com/listing/253535364/disney-inspired-cutting-board-glass?ref=shop_home_active_15

Retails:($20.00)

As far as the design goes she placed a Minnie Mouse decal in the right hand corner. I love this and her little bow is adorable. We discussed what color we should do and she suggested red, and I think that was the perfect choice. I know on camera this looks pink, but it really is red. It adds a really nice pop of color to this cutting board sense all of the other decals are black.

In the center of the cutting board there is a massive decal that represents Cinderella's castle. I am in love! This is such a great decal and I love how she placed in the center, it's really the perfect size for this cutting board.

In the right hand corner she placed a basic Mickey Mouse decal. I love how she placed the Mickey and Minnie decal at an angle.

As you can tell from the picture this cutting board is not just a flat glass surface. It has some texture to it, which makes this a really great cutting board, it wont leave scratches on the glass surface and it will also cut meat really nice as well, which is really nice as well.

The corners have these slip resent feet on them, so it wont slide off your counter top. It has really good grip to them, which is what I was worried about, but not anymore :)

The size of this cutting board is 12 inches by 15 inches, so this is a pretty large cutting board.

Overall I'd say I'm highly impressed with this product, not only is this a great quality cutting board, its customized and just for me! it's perfect. I can't believe she sells these for only $20 such a steal, and you really can't find prices like this is any store, let alone something that is customized.

This shop owner is truly a delight! She is super friendly and really creative. She can do pretty much anything and will work with you to make you happy!

These would make a great gift for someone who loves to cook, or someone who just moved into a new place. The possibilities are endless with these and you can get them customized for any kitchen!

I highly recommend checking out this shop you will not be disappointed and I truly mean it!

TheMemoryKeeper On Etsy! Holiday Gift Guide Review!

 

 

I received a gorgeous keepsake box from a shop on etsy by the name of TheMemoryKeeper

 

 

She sent me this gorgeous decorated keepsake box, that I just love. This box is just gorgeous. There are so many small details on this box and its incredible. The box it self is made out of a hard thick card board that feels really heavy duty. This is a box that is going to last you a really long time and there is no doubt about that, and that's for sure. The pattern that the box is, is a really simple and gorgeous pink floral print. I love this print, its a simple print and isn't too crazy. I couldn't find the link to this actual box so I just included a link for a box similar to this one.

Retails:($15.00)

 

 

As you can see from the picture up above, this is a pretty decent sized box, this can hold a lot and i'm sure you could find the perfect use for it. I plan on using this to store all my cards that I have gotten over the years, and I think this is going to be perfect for it :)

 

 

She decorated this box beautifully as well the sides of this box she attached some really cute frilly pink lace, this acts like a boarder for the box. I love this touch I think it goes really well with this pink print on the box. On the very top on the box she attached a white lace box that is really pretty, attached to the lace bow is metal heart pendent which goes nicely as well.

 

 

Overall I'm impressed with this box, this is great quality and I will be putting this to good use.

 

These would be great gifts for anyone, even use this box to put smaller gifts inside and that way they could keep :)
