Novica United's Dazzling Flower Bloom Necklace Review!


This one, I am SO EXCITED ABOUT!!! You guys KNOW I LOVE Novica's gorgeous handmade stuff!
I'm a SUCKER for natural materials and handmade products. As an art lover, I can really appreciate the work put into a product...especially when that product is made in a culture completely different than mine (because they have difference methods and resources!). This necklace kicks it up a notch because you can tell the AMOUNT of work that was put into this!
The overall effect is beautiful and colorful. However, it's the fine detail and individual stones that really take this piece to the next level! If you look closely, you can see that the stones are singularly drilled, strung on the durable twine, and knotted individually! I expected them to be all strung at once! Even THAT would be a lot of work for how many stones there are!
I'm also impressed that with so many smaller pieces, the flower center piece is very balanced and sits nicely on the chest. The small stones leading down to the center compliment it very nicely! Everything is SO TIGHT and specifically placed, yet the effect is very whimsical and carefree. Quality meets adorability here!
I feel that I have a huge neck and a huge head. If your head is small enough, you can probably slip it over. However, if you're like me you'll have to use the ball-and-loop system in the back of the necklace. This is a little complicated to get at first, but once you get it down, it's very easy! The necklace has NO issues with falling off, either! With it being a little heavier, this was a concern of mine. Because the string is a bit waxed, it provides a secure hold.
Overall, I'm VERY happy with this wearable work of art. It's beautiful and definitely a conversation starter!

APOSON MultiFunction Watch Review!


I was very excited to get something this awesome for my husband! Just from the photos, the watch looks impressive, but we all know how judging a book by it's cover goes!

When this watch arrived, my first impression was that the watch is BIG! I was a little worried that my husband (who has small hands) wouldn't want to wear it. However, he LOVES it!

The watch HAS to be this big though. There's really not a lot of unnecessary space on the surface. With two clocks (for two different time zones...handy for business men or military men in different time zones trying to contact others across the world!), a thermometer (C), AND a compass, this watch packs a LOT of information into a small space.

I was impressed with the quality of the watch, too! There's nothing cheap about it! It's all stainless steel, so it's not going to turn your skin. The gunmetal color is really sharp looking and compliments the black leather band. The stitching on the band is nice and tight and is very neat. It's not loose or uneven. The watch overall is very professional looking.




Numbers on the face of the instruments are very easy to read and have very clear lettering and numbering. It was very easy to set the clocks and I'm often intimidated by this task.

Overall, this is a very striking piece. The only thing that I would change would be the fact that it features Celsius and not Fahrenheit. However, I believe more of the world uses Celsius.

Pashoshi Bandanna Bib Review!

We're expecting a baby this year, and we're trying to get as ready as we can for his or her arrival! The basics, we're well aware of. These things also tend to be the smaller things. Luckily, we're having not trouble finding stylish and affordable items! And these bibs are seriously the height of baby style!

In my experience with bibs, I thought that they'd be thin fabric that basically still allowed moisture through, but didn't allow the more solid parts of spitup through (gross). However, I was pleasantly surprised to find that these bibs are THICK cotton, and are made of dual materials (or at least textures). The front is nice and smooth and is printed with ADORABLE patterns and the back is very soft (like the inside of a sweatshirt, maybe).

The snaps are SECURE in place, and they snap together and come apart easily. The seams/edges of this bib are very secure with no loose strings or weak spots. I love that the neck of these little bibs is just big enough that it prevents mess from going behind, but they're still loose so as to not choke the baby.

The added gifts, of course, don't hurt this set's overall appeal! The pacifier clip is nice and neutral and features a strong, easy to operate clip. This also came with a sippy/bottle holder, and I'm excited to use it because I don't have one of these!

Overall, this is a great value for the price, in quality alone! Then add in that these are just precious!

All of these patterns are pretty popular right now and all of these can work for either gender!
