Bella Vea.com and a Giveaway!

I am so excited to show you guys what will likly become my latest addiction!

I love jewelry and especially something that I can personalize to what I need for a particular outfit.  I found BellaVea.com through a friend of my husband and I am hooked!

BellaVea.com offers a beautiful selection of handmade jewelry that's already beautiful on it's own, but BellaVea.com also offers a variety of custom pieces!

They have AMAZING customer service and love to help their customer in the creation of custom jewelry!

I was fortunate enough to receive two gorgeous, classically beautiful pieces, which I, being so in love with them, planned my entire look around these earrings!

The first pair of earring are these gorgeous Pearl Cascading Earrings.  I love how they fall to the perfect legnth and have enough body to be noticeable.  These can be found under the bridal section, but I'm in love with the classic design.  These would also be beautiful in other colors!

So I planned a classic outfit with a low bun and red lip.  I have worn these so many times since receiving them that my friends are wondering what happened to my other jewelry!

These little gems are the second pair I received and I wanted to cry when I pulled them out of the amazingly classic and beautiful packaging.  These are also found under the Bridal Section, the Scarlett earrings are beautiful crystal clear Swarovski crystals, and BellaVea.com will customize these to go with your wedding colors.  You can find the chart of the available jewels and colors here.

(also a note on this picture: I took it 6 times and in all 6 I had my eyebrow raised.  I'm not sure why!  But it could be that there is something sassy about a beautiful pair of earrings, neutral eye and hot pink lip!)

Speaking of the beautiful packaging, I was so impressed with the attention to detail BellaVea.com puts into their presentation.

The awesome white box with foil purple lettering is wrapped in matching tissue paper fastened with a gold embossed sticker!  I didn't want to rip the tissue paper so I slid it off the box as not to ruin the beautiful packaging!

Also included is a BellaVea.com business card so finding their information to reorder is super easy!

So I promised a giveaway and it couldn't be easier!  Click the picture below to enter on BellaVea.com's Facebook Page!

We Wood - for the Fashion and Environemntally Conscious!

I always look for unique gifts, but my husband is probably the hardest person I've ever shopped for!  My usual gift is a watch.  He wears his watch religiously and wears them out about one a year, so when Ali found We Wood, I knew I had a new take on an old gift!

The only thing better than giving a gift is giving a gift that is for more than just the person it's intended, giving a gift that does some good!

We Wood watches are not only free of artificial and toxic materials, but philosophy is One Watch, One Tree, One Planet because for each watch, they plant a tree. They say the best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago. The second best time is NOW.

I cannot think of a cooler gift!

Do you have a fashion and environmentally conscious man in your life?

Well one lucky winner will win their own WeWOOD watch! Be sure and check out their site HERE & enter below to win!

Batiste Lace

We know from my What's the Deal with Dry Shampoo? blog post that I'm a huge fan!

This semester is proving to be very difficult for me and dry shampoo makes it possible for me to get another 30 minutes to an hour of sleep.

Since Valentine's day falls on a Thursday, I will most definitely be using dry shampoo!  The current scent I'm using is a bit tropical, so when I heard there was a scent called Batiste Lace which is "is for ladies that love the vintage look. Oozing pure elegance and style, and with an oh-so-sophisticated scent."

Now I definatel consider myself more classic than trendy, so this seemed right up my alley, plus, just look at this bottle.

This is my new favorite dry shampoo and will become the newest staple in my hair care collection.

If you're still curious about how to apply dry shampoo, check out my previous post or The Rosy Snail's Love Your Hair with Batiste blog post!

One lucky reader can score a can of this sensuous miracle product.  Check the Rafflecopter below!

What's that Zent(s)!

I couldn't help the wordplay!

But honestly, I love Zents!

Enything that can provide me some kind of Zen in my life is worth a shot in my book!

The votes are in and I'm not the only one coming down on the side of Zents.  Ali, over at The Rosy Snail, calls Zents her "holy grail" brand!  For a beauty blogger, finding that holy grail item is MAJOR.  These are the items we recommend above others and things we go back to in between testing other things, and we all have them and they are usually all different.

To hear more about Ali's Zents experience, check it out here!

 



For myself, I love the sweet, feminine scent of the Petal scent.

Having ridiculously dry skin, one thing I started a long time ago is using a body oil after showering.  This one is great for that because it's in a spray bottle.  I just stand in the tub and mist it all over after showering.  It's a lot quicker and last way longer than lotion alone.  I then follow up with a more traditional lotion.  The oil can also be used in your hair and on cuticles.

 

Zents has offered these same two fabulous products as a special Valentine’s Treat to one VERY lucky winner so be sure and enter below for your chance to win!
