My Review/Thoughts~

If you would have looked in my cupboards, You would have seen a site of tea bags in plastic bags-All mixed up and smashed together. Thanks to the YouCopia Tea Stand, I can now say that my tea bags are displayed and grouped together according to flavor or brand. I can honestly say that this was the perfect item to review for my holiday gift guide as it would make the perfect present for anyone on your gift list. When I start looking at an item, I always look to where they are being sold on. I am such a huge Amazon fan that seeing that the YouCopia Tea Stands are sold there- You know you are getting the best price and are going to save a ton of money. YouCopia’s products are priced very reasonably. I can guarantee you that no matter who you buy this for that they are going to love it,

I give YouCopia and their products my thumbs up and my highest recommendation.

The Eternity Rose #Review-The Perfect Gift #HGG17 @EternityRoseCo

Reviews · 

I received the below mentioned product for free or a discounted price. Whether or not you agree, All opinions and thoughts are 100% my own.

What is the most unique and different gift you ever received? Oh my gosh, I have received some…well let’s just say very some of them were quite unusual. I was thrilled when the opportunity arose to review The Eternity Rose.

About The Eternity Rose~

All of our precious-metal and glazed roses start with a natural rose that has been cultivated in our own nursery. The rose type is a species carefully selected for quality and form. We then employ professional rose growers to nurture them to perfection.

The first step of the preservation process is to select the rose as soon as it has bloomed to perfection.

The second step is to apply a type of clear coat to the entire rose. This helps to maintain its shape and prepares it for the rest of our 60-step process.

Once the clear coat has dried, the rose is for ready for electroplating. The initial layers of metal laid down are pure copper. Copper ensures a quality base over the vegetative material, and ensures the characteristics of the rose stem, leaves and petals are perfectly maintained. The use of copper layers also helps the subsequent precious metals to adhere smoothly and with a lustrous finish.

Following the application of copper, the roses progress to the platinum, gold, or silver electroplating basins. The process of applying the precious metals involves dozens of micron-thin layers that are slowly accumulated over multiple weeks. For more information about gold, please refer our page on Different Types of Gold.

During the process, the roses are regularly inspected for plating quality and imperfections. If a rose doesn’t pass inspection at any stage, it is discarded. This is a labor-intensive process that takes around eight weeks to complete. The end result is a beautiful rose figurine that is obviously a natural rose underneath, with a mirror-like precious-metal coating. It is designed to have a lustrous sheen and be corrosion proof and tarnish resistant. As such, this is an item that can endure and sustain its beauty indefinitely.

The whole process takes around three months to complete.

Are the roses real?

Yes, each and every Eternity Rose is made from a natural rose.

Some companies which purport to sell glazed and precious-metal plated roses are actually selling products that have a plastic base. Some are even covered in gold-colored tin, or use gold-colored foil to mimic leaves and petals. This is to some extent impacting on the public perception of gold-dipped roses. At The Eternity Rose, we guarantee a genuine and authentic item produced to the highest quality standards.Quality Guarantee

We only use roses that have been grown in our nursery. Customers can tell this by looking at the intricate details of each rose. Once in hand, it is very easy to tell the difference between a real rose and a non-genuine rose. Unfortunately it is not as easy to discern this difference on the Internet. That is why we provide the highest detail photos and videos we were able to attain.

All of the items sold from The Eternity Rose website are manufactured exactly as described above. The Eternity Rose prides itself on quality, and our reputation for supplying quality items is so far impeccable.

• A natural rose dipped in 24 karat gold.

•  A romantic gift idea for her.

My Review/Thoughts~

 I really did not know what to expect when I was asked to review the Eternity Rose. All I knew was that the picture I saw of it was beautiful. When it arrived, I opened the shipping box and the box the Eternity Rose was in was a elegantly beautiful leather case. I was always taught that presentation means everything and this product did not disappoint. The leather case it arrived in was the perfect case to hold the Eternity Rose. As I took the Eternity Rose out of the case, A feeling of  serenity came over me. I have to say that it was the most exquisite, beautiful and just out of this world. Being they use a real rose, The attention to detail was very much portrayed. The 24 karot gold was the perfect precious metal to use in my opinion. The Eternity Rose does come in other metals and  just to name a few: Silver, Platinum and a rose glaze(red, purple, blue and a few more). Visit the Eternity Rose Website where I know you will find the perfect gift for any Holiday such as Christmas, Valentine’s Day, Mother’s Day or all of them.  My Eternity Rose came with a Certificate of Authenticity.

This is the Holiday Season and I cannot think of a more appropriate gift for anyone that you love on your list: Mother, Girlfriend, Wife, Granny-Anyone! You can buy one for your very own or any of their awesome products by going Eternity Rose. I give the Eternity Rose my thumbs up and my highest recommendation.

How do you keep your home, office or any space really smelling awesome? I never used to worry about this until we bought our first home almost 2 years ago. I was thrilled when I was offered the opportunity to review the Organic Aromas Diffuser for my 2017 Holiday Gift  Guide and I am pleased to tell you that if you have someone on your list that you have no idea what to get them than this product is right up your alley.

One of the major things I love about this product is just how easy it is to set up and use. No complicated instructions and no complicated tasks. I love everything about this product that I bought a few to give as gifts for those hard to buy for this season. The smell in my home is simply amazing.

Lugz Women’s Drifter Fleece XL #Review #HGG17

Reviews · 

I received the below mentioned complimentary product either for free or at a discounted rate. Whether or not you agree, My thoughts and opinions are 100% my own.

Do you have a favorite shoe/boot brand? What a silly question you might ask but when you find a shoe/boot brand that you fall in love with, You just stick with it. I mean it it’s not broke, Then fix it. I was thrilled when the opportunity came about to review the Lugz Women’s Drifter Fleece XL boot. This would make the perfect Holiday gift for anyone on your list.About Lugz~

COMPANY BACKGROUND

Always an innovator and leader in footwear, Lugz first made a name for itself in October of 1993, bringing its first line of boots to market, with the initial product consisting of two styles of boots, a quilted vest and a pair of jeans.

Soon Lugz was endorsed by key players from the world of hip hop and has continued to do so through out the years. One such collaboration led Lugz to breathe life to a whole new category of footwear with the introduction of the first ever celebrity-endorsed “Funk Master Flex” urban driving shoe. This was only the beginning as support then lead to a collaborative line with hip-hop superstar Bryan “Baby” Williams, aka “Birdman” with his own series of sneakers and boots.

In 2006 Orange County Choppers, the world’s premier builders of custom motorcycles signed on to endorse Lugz shoes, which they were already wearing so it was a natural fit. With its aggressive “built for the streets” reputation Lugz collaborated with Paul Teutul, Jr. to create a signature Lugz shoe “the Torx” which interpreted this incredibly well.

In the fall of 2008 Lugz shot on to the Mixed Martial Arts scene signing its first two MMA fighters, Lyoto Machida and Houston Alexander as endorsers. Machida captured the title of UFC Light Heavyweight Champion as he represented Lugz. With MMA becoming the fastest growing sport/entertainment platform with an increasingly growing fan base, Lugz was excited to be apart of this growing trend and later signed Quinton “Rampage” Jackson. In 2010 Cain Velasquez became the newest endorser of Lugz.; immediately after signing, Cain fought to become UFC World Heavyweight Champion. In 2011, Lugz continued to grow its Team – signing UFC Welterweight Josh Koscheck and UFC Light Heavyweight Phil Davis.

From its inception, Lugz footwear has been an innovator in the footwear market from its signature styles, to creating trendsetting styles beyond boots and has added casual shoes and athletics to the mix for the Lugz men, Lugz women and Lugz kids lines.

My Thoughts/Review~

So I have started walking as I want to shed a few pounds(don’t we all). Walking in the winter is not very feasible if you do not have the right footwear. We just had our first snow fall which I loved and when I went outside to walk-I put on my new Women’s Drifter Fleece XL, Took my first step and thought “I am in love!”. How could a boot be like walking on air? How could a boot give me this much support? How cold a boot give me this much comfort? I am here to tell you that it does all of this and so much more. If I had to chose just one thing that I love about these boots- I could not as I love everything about them. These would make the perfect gift for the special women on your list.

I give these boots my highest recommendation and my thumbs up.
