Lets talk curls! I have tried everything from a traditional curler to the Instyler Tulip. Nothing seems to make and hold curls like the Xtava Spiral curler! Achieve perfectly symmetric curls every time with the Xtava Curlz spiral guide. Never again will you forget to turn off your Curler with the LED button indicating the device is on. The xtava curlz handle is made of high quality insulation materials designed for safety. The secure hold clip guarantees the perfect curl as it locks your hair in place. 360 Degree rotating swivel cord allowing complete freedom of movement.
I have extremely thick hair that never wants to hold curls, even when I use a ton of hairspray. I'm lucky to hold curls for an hour. With the Xtava Spiral Curler it starts curling with in 30 seconds but I recommend at lease 60 seconds for a nice firm curl. When you clip in your hair its like it knows where to go. It simply and easily guides your hair in place. My curls stayed on their own with no hairspray and lasted for hours!
I also like the "safe guard" (what guides your hair) it doesn't get very hot. I even left it pressed against my skin while curling with no burns or hurting. All in all I am very impressed. This curler comes in three color choices, pink, blue and orange. It is currently on sale for $19.99.

We Choose Virtues
Teaching our young children the main virtues of life is vital to a better tomorrow. As a mother, a Aunt and a Sunday school teacher, I know the importance of showing our young children which path to take. At We Choose Virtues they provide parents and teachers alike with the specific tools and programs to further their children's education in many ways.
Their 12 Virtues flash card pack is safe to use in public schools along in private and religious ones. I personally use my flash cards in my Sunday school class room. I Like the fact that each card is in full vibrant colors which helps to catch the eye of young children and keep them interested. Anther nice feature is the on the back of each card. They basically break it into sections for you, making it easier to teach each card and it's importance.
On the Back of each card you will find 5 sections. The first section is the "Teaching Tip" section. Here you will find a few suggestive sentences you may use when explaining the meaning of the card to your class room or children. The next section will be "Virtue User Challenge" Here you will find a suggestion as to what you should do that day. For example on the "Content" card your challenge would be to go through the entire day without saying "I am bored" or "I want". You will also find a "You will Need" section, "What to say after "I'm Sorry" and a "Fun demonstration" section.
All in all these cards are great! It is a fun ay to get each and every child in your life leaning more on self control and how to become a better person for a better tomorrow. After all our young children are the future of tomorrow and if we do not teach them right from wrong who will?
I was able to give a set of these away to one of my lucky fans on my facebook fan page congrats to Sheila Brodbeck.

My Favorite Love Story
My Favorite Love Story is a awesome shop on Etsy. The owner Jamie makes the beautiful leather strap bracelets. These are becoming more and more popular and I believe she does a tremendous job on bringing out the charms beauty by carefully selecting the best color to go along with it.
Jamie sent me three of her handmade leather strap bracelets for me to test, try and review. I have to say these are of the best quality. I have bought many of these bracelets from many companies but they could not withstand my day to day tasks. Most of them frayed or just plain broke! Very disappointing.
The three I received from the My Favorite Love Story shop I wear constantly. They never leave my wrist. All of them still look brand new and unworn. None of them have frayed or lost their coloring. My Favorite has to be the owl bracelet. Very simple yet very pretty! I love the blue straps she decided to use. The clasps are the best feature of her bracelets. You do not have to fight with the claw clasp as she uses a eyelet clasp making it easy to put them on with one hand!
You are able to customize any bracelet in her shop. Which is always a plus. Who doesn't like getting exactly what they want? Her prices range from $4.00USD to $17.00USD for a mother and daughter friendship bracelet set.
Be sure to check out the photos below of her amazing work! When your done hop on over to her shop and check out all she has to offer. These would make lovely Christmas gifts or stocking stuffers!

Super Bright Craziness!
When my boys started getting older I could see their imagination slipping away. They are now 12 and 13 and it has been hard for me to find a product that can get their imagination station working again. When we received the Super Bright Glow Sticks I figured I would pretty much be on my on when came to the creative part, Boy was I wrong!
As soon as I opened the cute designed tube they came running, asking if they could help. I am always open to offers of help LOL They dove right in cracking the sticks and placing them together laughing the entire time. I sat back watching them and thinking how nice it was to hear them laugh rather than argue. Not only did Super Bright Glow Sticks give them a change to use their imagination again but they helped my boys bond a bit more. They spent hours making faces and whole body armor and so much more!
In the package you will find 100 glow sticks and 100 connectors. They are Non-toxic and CPSIA Compliant - Premium Quality. You can find them here.

Yoga Obsessed -Yoga Design Lab
Yes I am completely and utterly Yoga obsessed! I m told the first step is admitting I have a problem! My house is almost overwhelmed with yoga everything! I have tried a ton of different mats most of them cause slipping or just fall apart after a month or so. I am always looking for a mat that will keep up with me. I do my yoga routine twice daily at home and 8 times a month at the gym. Finding a good mat is crucial.
When I was asked to test the Yoga Design Lab Premium Yoga Mat with Carrying Strap I was super excited! When it came in the mail I was like a giddy child on Christmas morning! The Yoga Design Lab Mat is made memory foam. Which allows the mat to be light weight and non-slip. Did I mention this mat is Eco Friendly and Free of Phthalates, Latex, metals, harmful toxins, and SGS Approved and Odorless!
I love the feel of the mat under my feet. It is very soft and the grooves within the mat allow me to stand firm on place with out slipping or falling. The color is mutual so can be used for men or women. I love the car strap. It makes it easy to pick up and take with me no matter where I go! This is the only Yoga mat I will use and recommend!

Bella & Bear Awesomeness
There are so many beauty tools are the market these days, that it is fairly hard to choose one that would be right for you or that actually works. Well today I want to introduce you to three of my favorite beauty tool items all made from Bella and Bear.
The first item is there Eye and Mighty Eyelash Curler. Cute and adorable! And a item that gets the job done! Most eyelash curlers pull on my lashes causing irritation and aggravating my eyes. The Bella and Bear eye lash curler has a soft black pad that fits snug into the tool which helps to alleviate the lash pulling. With the tried and tested lash pads you will never need to replace them, they are to last and entire lifetime when used correctly. The design of the curler allows it to be used on any eye shape! Even deep inset eyes. When I used the curler for the first time I seen a dramatic difference. I normally apply false lashes to get the perfect look, well no more! With the Bella and Bear eyelash curler I am able to get the perfect dramatic effect with out using falsies! I am so in love with this product I never walk out of the house with out using it first!
The Bella And Bear Hair Removal Kit is just plain awesome! Love the pastel pink color and the package design is just adorable! This kit includes a air of pastel pink Tweezers and the Hair She Goes Wand. The tweezers design is sleek and flawless. it tweezes with perfect precision leaving no hair untweezed! The slanted edges allow you to get even the most persistent hairs. I use my Bella and Bear tweezers about twice a month. I normally have to tweeze once a week with normal tweezers. I believe this is because be the Bella and Bear tweezers grab the hair better and allows the entire hair follicle to be pulled out with one swift pull.
Almost every woman I know has what we call "Peach fuzz" on our faces. I have tried bleaches and creams and waxing and nothing seems to help. I was a bit afraid to try the Bella and Bear Hair She Goes Wand a it looked horribly painful lol. You are to hold each side in each hand and slowly rotate each handle clockwise and counterclockwise. I thought I would have a ripping and tearing effect laving my face red and irritated. That isn't the case. It feels more or less like the tweezers do. Just a slight feeling of hair being pulled out. After abut 20 minutes my face was super soft and free from any "Peach Fuzz". I normally use this product about once a month to keep my face hair free.
If you have not tried any of the Bella And Bear products yet a highly recommend that you do so! You can pick up the Hair Removal Kit Here. You can buy the Eye & Mighty Eyelash Curler Here.
