Celebrate Motherhood with a ‘Mom’ Necklace from Alexa’s Angels

alexa's angels

I love jewelry, but I do not own a lot of it because I prefer pieces that mean something to me or my family. I don’t  need expensive jewelry, it doesn’t have to be gold and diamonds, it just has to be pretty and has to speak to me. I prefer more of a simple design at a good price when looking. I recently had the chance to review a necklace from Alexa’s Angels. There were many amazing items to choose from and their prices are very affordable. The packaging immediately stood out! I loved how elegant the pouch was along with the beautiful pink stuffing! It gave the jewelry a beautiful effect before even opening it! I received a beautiful ‘Mom’ necklace just in time for Mother’s Day. Of course any mom is always willing to add a piece of jewelry to their collection to brag about being a mom. … read more

Looking for new charms or jewelry to add to your collection?

I love jewelry, but I don’t have a lot of it because I REALLY have to like something to add it to my collection. I believe a piece of jewelry just speaks to you and should fit your personality as well as have a story behind it. That can be hard to find. I looked through the selection of jewelry from Gloss Jewelry and was drawn to their Charms. They have a ‘Key to your Dreams’ charm that I absolutely loved. I received the blue sapphire charm for review and it is even more stunning in person than it was on the site! This key is hand-crafted and a beautiful vintage looking piece. The key is pewter which is something I have loved since I was a child. I love the crown above the key as it gives it a very unique look. I chose blue sapphire because it is … read more

Shadora- Jewelry options for the Thrifty Momma!

2 carat white topaz sterling silver stud earrings

I’m a woman, so of course I love jewelry. Of course jewelry is limited in my wardrobe because I can only wear certain items without breaking out in hives (no costume jewelry for me!) I find jewelry can be a little out of the Thrifty Momma’s budget many times so I don’t invest in it often. I was recently introduced to Shadora and I may be able to add a few pieces to my collection in the near future! Shadora is an online jewelry retailer that carries pieces at a huge discount compared to other stores! Many of their items are listed for 80% less than retail price! And these are nice items! I received a pair of earrings to review and was definitely impressed! I was sent a pair of 2 carat white topaz sterling silver stud earrings. They are very pretty and for only 9.99 on Shadora, they … read more

Corset Chick- Do Valentine’s Day In Style

Although I do not really celebrate Valentine’s Day, a girl always wants to look good! Whether it be a special holiday or just a night out, Corset Chick can give you the curves and confidence you desire! I have plenty of curves, they just don’t curve the way I want them to! I have always dreamed of that hour glass shape you see on the super models. Unfortunately, I am one of the many with more of an apple shape! Even so, when it comes to wearing a corset, I can still have the look I desire! I recently received a corset from Corset Chick for review. After browsing the site for what seemed like hours, I finally settled on the one I thought fit my style the most. I chose the black diamond steel boned corset. There were many factors I put into play when choosing. Since I have … read more

Mia Mariu Makeup Review and Giveaway

mia mariu

If there’s one thing almost all women love, it is makeup. Some won’t even step out of the house without it on. I personally have a love-hate relationship with it. I absolutely love the way I look when I am made up, but I hate how it aggravates my skin or makes my eyes itchy and watery. I love to wear eye makeup, but it never lasts because I end up rubbing my eyes as they get irritated until I finally have to go wash it off my face. Most makeup products have ingredients that aren’t great for people who suffer allergies or any skin sensitivities. I don’t know what is in them, but it is not fun! Mia Mariu is a health and beauty company that produces a great mineral makeup! Mineral makeup does not have all the same harsh ingredients that you can find in other makeup which … read more
