What Did I Get for Christmas? I got a little Something from EdenFantasys

I did a little Christmas Shopping for myself this year.  And can you guess where I shopped?  Yep, you guessed it.  I shopped at one of my favorite Online Stores - EdenFantasys.  EdenFantasys is a store that is more than just an Adult Toy store.  It has everything from lotions to books to soaps and my Favorite... Clothing.

This year I am treating myself and my boyfriend to some new outfits from EdenFantasys.  It will be the First Real Christmas that we are spending together - and I am so looking forward to being able to wear something nice this holiday season.  I chose two cute but different outfits for this holiday season (one for Christmas and one for New Years)

The Christmas outfit I choose was one by Coquette.  It is made of black lycra and mesh.  It  features gathered red lace padded cups, rhinestone button detail and removable straps.  As soon as I saw the picture of it, I knew I just HAD to have it!  I have purchased other outfits by Croquette and Have fallen in love with their craftsmanship every time!  As for sizing goes, I was a little worried because they come in Small, Medium, Large, XL and up... And I am in between sizes.  I ordered the large - and was pleasantly surprised that it fit JUST Right.   Granted, this is not something that I would wear when the lil guy is around, But it is a GREAT addition to my night room wardrobe.

Are you a shop-aholic? How to shop like one - but still save!

Are you a shop-aholic?  I am an internal Shop-aholic... But I think I have done very well at keeping it under control.  I Love to feel like I am a spoiled Princes.... I just hate Spending money.  That is why I search for Voucher codes on the net.

Searching for voucher codes can Definatly Help you save money.  Currently I am on the search for items to take to blogher.  I am on the lookout for Luggage...and a new purse...and a computer bag...and a few new outfits!  I am having a hard time trying to figure out what to wear.  I have never been to a conference this big.  So I am open to all suggestions.

Everyone says that I need to dress like me.  Well, me..  I'm always in a work uniform (I work 7 days a week) - so I can not dress like me.   And everything that I had in my closet is about 2 sizes too big.  If I am not in a work uniform, I can be found in T-Shirt and Jeans... But I feel that a conference this big needs something a little more.  Like a nice pair of slacks or a really cute top.  I did find a sundress that will look cute for some of the parties that I am hoping to go to.  But I still need some more items. So off to the internet I need to go for coupons or gift codes.  I am wanting to shop like money means nothing - but pay as little as possible.

What is your favorite site to find great deals on clothing?

Great Dresses and Outfits - Found at EdenFantasys

 

It has been quite a while since I have posted about this great company! But Im back to tell you about some of the Awesome new products at EdenFantasys.  Well, they may not be new to you, but they certainly are new to me!   Dont get me wrong, EdenFantasys does care an extensive line of Sex Toys, but you know that there is more to the site than just that.  They also carry lingere, Club outfits and Bath and Beauty products. 

If you guys are not aware, I will be attending BlogHer in New York this summer.  This is going to be a great opportunity to meet some of the great companies (and I am hoping to meet the wonderful people of EdenFantasys there).  Now I just need to figure out what to wear.  As I was browsing the EdenFantasy Website, I came across some wonderful outfits - and Im not talking about just the bedroom style outfits.  I am talking about Party Dresses ... But nothing too Revealing.  That's when I came across this little red number.

It looks like it will hug all the right curves at the right times -but be super light and airy... If for any reason I am chilly, it wont be hard to throw something over my shoulders and still look hot and ready to party in the New York Night Scene!   Is there any other outfits on the EdenFantasys site that you think would be great for New York City?  I would love to know some of your favorites!

Taking Care of the Family

This guest post from Doris Dillon
My husband and I had to move to Texas last year to care for his ailing mother. Our kids are already out of the house, so it wasn’t too much of a sacrifice. We always planned on ending up there at some point, we just ended up there earlier than we planned. My mother in law needed us, so we had to be there. My father in law was taking care of her by himself and he was overwhelmed. We got ready for the move, and my husband was able to find a job through some old friends, but I was not. My mother in law was racking up some pretty serious medical bills, and we were starting to worry about how we were going to make ends meet with all that was going on. One of my husband’s old buddies told us to check out http://www.shopelectricityratestexas.com/bounce-electric-rates/Texas/R/Roanoke/ so we could save on our energy bills. I guess it all ended up working out since it is good for me to be home with my mother in law. I know we will make it through this hard time with the support of our friends and family.

I Have been looking at doing a little decorating... What should I do?

I know I am pretty private about my home life- but just to let you in on a few secrets - I moved about 8 months ago. Into my own house!  This is the first time I have ever lived ON MY OWN .... And now it is about time to make it a place of my own.  So... On to decorating!

The first room that I did was my sons room.  He had to have a room he felt comfortable in and that he enjoyed to be in...As I was looking for furniture for the rooms, I did come across this - elements international bp700drw - brook white dresser with optional mirror (white finish).  It is cute, but my son really didn't like it as much as I hoped - he ended up getting a Familiar dresser from his grandpas house.

The next room that got any personality was the kitchen.  It is the first room that you see when you walk in my front door.  And the easiest way to decorate a kitchen is by using vinyl placemats modern.  Vinyl placemats are the way to go - especially with young kids.  They are super easy to clean up!

But there are times where worrying about how your house will look when others come over and you will drive yourself insane.  That is when you need to get a walgreen blood pressure Kit. Once you realize that your blood pressure is up, you will know how to control it.  My suggestion - when decorating becomes more stressful than fun .. its time to walk away and hire someone! (either that or get a friend to come in and help you.  Someone you trust... and has similar taste as you) 

CafeWell - New Social Netowrking group to help your overall health!

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of CafeWell for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine.

There is a new social networking group to help you get well and stay well.  That group:  CafeWell. CafeWell partners with large health plans like Altius and together they provide their members with great health programs.

What is CafeWell?  CafeWell is a program that is bridging the gap between help plans and their members to help them become more away of healthcare and improve their perception of their health plan  How do that do that?  CafeWell provides a fun, safe and anonymous environment for people to improve their health.  CafeWell provides FREE advice, Tips and motivation from Health and Wellness and Diet and Nutrition Experts as well as Olympic Athletes.

One of the programs that CafeWell offers is the Reach for the Peaks program. This is where members participate on CafeWell in a wireless pedometer program that focuses on helping people become and stay more active

Dont believe me?  This is what one of the participants have to say about CafeWell:
"I never thought that I was competitive before.  Now I am counting steps and enjoying seeing them add up.  My husband was actually teasing me a little and telling me that I was competitive after all… It has been fun to encourage each other to get more steps in each day.  It is also fun to see the medals add up.  I don't know whose idea it was to get this program started, but it was a great one.  I sure hope everyone else is enjoying this health competition to get healthy!"

It really is worth taking care of your health!  Why not take a look at CafeWell 

How to organize your Online Content - using Clipix

Being a blogger, I tend to have a Gazillion projects going on at once.  I'm either Pitching for an event, Posting about some pretty awesome products, or drooling over products that I would love to have for myself. I have never found a good way to keep my thoughts in order... I have tried using spreadsheets and email lists - but when i go back weeks or months later, I totally forget what my notes meant.  Now I have heard about Clipix.  I am sure that it is going to be easier to keep track of the items I want to get

What is Clipix? clipix is an useful tool that is changing the way that people organize their lives.  It was created to solve the problem that everyone has - Seeing tons of things online every day and never having a good way to organize them.  

What are some of the things that I have clipped on my Clipix board?  Well I just started clipping - to see how it works, but I will tell you this.  When i go through my and enter bloggers giveaways - I will be clipping the items I love most (from either the blog's home page or the manufactures home page).  That way When I am ready to look for a new product or a new company to feature I will have some ideas of where I would like to start. I have also been helping one of my friends with their "Ideal Wedding Dresses" So this is a great way to share some of the things I found for her.

Have you signed up for Clipix?  If you havent - then Why Not? You have no clue what you are missing.  What are some of the things that you are looking forward to clipping?

Teenagers

Thanks to Roman May
My husband knows someone from his work that has two teenage sons. He was eating lunch with my husband the other day, and started talking about all the trouble he is having with his boys. His boys have started getting into trouble at school and have become more and more rebellious towards all authority including their parents. He has really had to start buckling down with the boys and keeping tabs on their school work and everything else they are involved with. The boys have even been caught more than once sneaking out of their house at night. So finally he had to talk with someone about getting a security system that would not only keep the bad guys out, but one that would also let him know when his sons were attempting to sneak out at night. That is when he contacted adt security services. The company was able to set up the system without the sons knowing that they had it installed. So now whenever they try to sneak out of the house, their dad is notified on his cell phone and can go to the place in the house that they are attempting to leave from. They don’t know what to think now. They just know that now they are getting caught.

Being a Blogger....

Being a Blogger has brought a new light onto life.  Ever since I have started blogging I have met many new people....And learned many things.  I have managed to find a new me in the process.

Being a Blogger - I have a "family" that is ever growing.  They may not be genetically my family - but they are about as close as you can get sometimes.  I've shared many heart to heart stories with Bzzing Mom,  Am able to feel like I am in High School when talking to Woven By Words, and have learned So much from This Mama Loves Her Bargains.  Plus many more! Every one of them I consider a "family"

Being a blogger - I have realized you can not ever judge a book by its cover - or a person by what he/she wears or does.  Being a blogger I have learned who my friends are - and may never meet them face to face.

I wouldnt give up being a "Blogger" for anything.  Yes, sometimes it can get stressful... or overwhelming... but in the end.  It has made me... ME!

Are you ready for Valentines Day? Let EdenFantasys Help

I have been doing a ton of Window Shopping for Valentines Day myself.  And where do you think I am shopping?  If you haven't guessed it - I am shopping at EdenFantasys. com.  This has become my  favorite site to shop at.   Not only do they have sex toys - but for those who dont need them or want them - they do have  a great line of other products.  Some of the other products that EdenFantasys Carries are Candles, Body Products, Books, Lingerie and even clothing.

Some of my favorite products by EdenFantasys are their clothing line.  I have recently purchased a couple shirts from the website.  I love their tank tops.  I personally Love the way my back looks - So I always look for a shirt that is Revealing in the back .  I purchased the Sexy Cowl Front O-Ring Back Tank top.  This is a Sleeveless Tank top that features a Draping Cowl Neckline.  The back features a Strapy O-Ring.  This tank top is defiantly flattering  I just wish it was a hair longer - but i know over time as i loose the rest of this baby belly - it will fit even more perfect! I will have to admit that this tank top looks great in the picture and Super Amazing in real life!

This is the tank top that I think I am going to go after next!  How hot is that?  I love the deep V cut, but it doesn't show off EVERYTHING you own.

Make sure you check out EdenFantasys for your Valentines Day needs.

CHECKS

Thanks to Lemuel Craft
Last week I started to write a check for my son’s tuition at his preschool and realized that we had run out of checks. We rarely use checks, so I only have to order them a couple of times per year. Since we found some WildBlue Deals on internet, I decided to utilize it and order checks online. It is so much cheaper and less of a hassle to order checks online than at the bank in my opinion. I like picking out the design on the checks. Before I was married, I would order checks with animal prints or flowers. Now that I am married, my husband insists that we have some checks that are not so feminine looking. The last few pads of checks were very boring looking and were just plain blue. My husband liked them because he thought that they looked much more masculine than the checks that I normally pick. For this order, I think I will try to find some checks that are not as boring. It is really not that important what your checks look like, but I always look at peoples’ checks when they write me one.

Great Clothes - Great Prices at EdenFantasys

Valentines day is just around the corner - well it is about a month away (Pweh!) Have you figured out what to get your special someone for Valentines Day? How about taking a trip through the EdenFantasys Store. This Adult Online store sells way more than just Sex Toys. They carry a line of Lingerie and candles and Clothing.  And for those who don't have Significant others... How about getting something for yourself?

 I have come across a TON of cute ideas for gifts for myself from EdenFantasys. One of my favorites happens to be red and white... Can you guess what it is? No..? Well I will give you a hint. It's a Matching pair. Yep, They have this cute red and white bra/panty set that I have totally fallen in love with. The panties lace up on the side - giving it a cute "pin-up" look.

Another thing that I have found to love from EdenFantasys is in the online clearance section. They have a ton of cute "club wear" outfits that I cant wait to try. My favorite right now is a blue Circlet Keyhole Halter.  This is on my Next purchase list from EdenFantasys.  I know it'll look cute, and it's not too revealing! Perfect for a night out with the friends!
