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.

• It perfectly combines the beauty of a rose and the majesty of fine gold.

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.

PeachSkinSheets #Review- The Perfect Gift #HGG17

2016 Holiday Gift Guide, Gifts For The Family, Reviews · 

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

How do you like your bed sheets? Some would say that’s a silly question when in fact it really is one that I now feel is very important as I never really thought about it until now. I recently received the opportunity to review PeachSkinSheets for my 2017 Holiday Gift Guide. I was able to pick the size and color of them.

 About The Original PeachSkinheets~

The Original PeachSkinSheets® was founded in 2013 and is based in Atlanta, Georgia.  We pride ourselves on being The Original, One and Only Authentic Brand, and our signature peach zipper pull is featured on every sheet package. Our affordable bed sheets are made from a breathable, high performance athletic grade SMART fabric that is great for hot sleepers due to its thermal control and moisture wicking properties.  In addition, the ultra soft brushed finish provides a softness level that parallels 1500 thread count cotton but without the shrinkage, wrinkles and pilling. We thrive on being a quality company with a quality product and going the extra mile for our customers.   You can find us online, at local pop up events as well as at our retail location in North Point Mall, Alpharetta, Georgia.  Once you’ve tried them, we know that you will never sleep on anything other than The Original PeachSkinSheets®!  

The Original PeachSkinSheets are GREAT for hot sleepers! Breathable, ultra soft, anti-pill and anti-snag bed sheets featuring thermal control and moisture management properties…warm sleepers stay cool, and cool sleepers stay cozy. The durable athletic grade performance SMART fabric wicks away moisture to keep you drier and more comfortable. Best of all, they have a luxurious 1500 Thread Count softness with a brushed PeachSkin finish on both sides. Available in Split King, Cali King, King, Queen, Full, Twin and XL Dorm Twin and XL Dorm Full.

I do not know about you but to me presentation is everything. If you look at the upper left photo, This is what I saw when I opened the box. The upper right photo is what I found when I removed the case from the box. It is hard not to know the PeachSkinSheet theme going on here~

I have a ton of medical issues and sleep is what I usually do not get at night. We have done everything from buying new pillows to a new mattress to spraying my pillow with a lilac scent but the aches and pains of Fibromyalgia and Rheumatoid Arthritis still keep me from falling and staying a sleep . One of the major obstacles I also face are hot flashes. Why do they always hit at night? Some sweating but I get really, really hot then really, really cold. The PeachSkinSheets also help me with this problem as they have thermal control which I am in love with!

A Few Key Points About PeachSkinSheets~

  • Anti-Slip
  • Spandex-Free
  • Hypoallergenic
  • Anti-Microbial
  • Colors Will Not Fade
  • Stain Resistant
  • Dries Super Fast
  • No Shrinkage
  • Fiber Never Treated with Pesticides Like Natural, Non-Organic Fabrics.
  • Pet Hair Does Not “Weave” Itself into Fabric, and High Performance Yarns Offer Better Protection Against Claws.

 

My Thoughts/Review~

I will be the first to admit that I never bought a set of bed sheets for myself. When my Mom was alive she would buy them, I would get them as hand me downs or from a relative who had passed away. Sad, I know. It was not until I received the PeachSkinSheets and my husband and I tried them that I came to the realization that I would never take hand me downs again as they were usually of poor quality. PeachSkinSheets are an incredible 1500 thread count soft. I just don’t get it but these sheets are amazing. The PeachSkinSheets keep me cool when I’m hot and keep me warm when I am cold. They wash up and dry wrinkle free perfectly. The Smart Fabric they use wicks away moisture, is a breathable fabric, anti-pill and anti- slip which means no slipping out of bed. What is there not to love about PeachSkinSheets 18 inch deep pockets and anti-microbial. One nights sleep on the PeachSkinSheets was enough to make me sold on them as they always have a monthly sale($55) on their colors of the month.   Since we bought this house a little under 2 years ago, I thought I would paint the bedroom an Olive color. That is why I picked Sage Green for my sheets. I am know thinking of painting it a blue/gray but that means I need to order another pair of PeachSkinSheets. They would also make the best a Holiday Gift ever for anyone on you list who has everything or who has nothing. Either way they are perfect.

Prices start at $55.  They always have 2 Colors of the Month priced at $55 for any size set.  Their regular sale price is $79.95 for any size set while Split King/Adjustable Bed specialty sizes are $99.95.  Here is the link to the current Colors of the Month .

I give PeachSkinSheets my thumbs up and I highly recommend them for yourself or anyone on your Holiday list.

Please check back towards the end of the week for a link to a giveaway where 1 reader will will a set of PeachSkinSheets in their choice of color and size for their very own. The photos below are some of my pets loving these sheets…..

 

 

 

LUGZ MEN’S DRIFTER 6 ST WIDE #REVIEW #HGG17 @LugzNYC

2016 Holiday Gift Guide, Reviews · 

I received the below mentioned complimentary product for the purpose of this review. Whether or not you agree, All opinions and thoughts are 100% my own.

Do you have a favorite shoe brand? I thought I did but then aren’t they all the same? I am here to tell you that they are not. I was thrilled when the opportunity cam about to review a pair of Lugz Men’s Drifter 6 ST Wide for my 2017 Holiday Gift Guide. These would make the PERFECT gift for that man in your life!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.

About The Drifter~

DRIFTER 6 ST WIDE

DESCRIPTION:

The Men’s Drifter 6 ST Wide is an update on the classic and timeless Drifter.

  • Steel toe for maximum protection

My Review/Thoughts~

The Lugz Drifter 6 ST WIDE is by far the most comfortable boot my husband has ever worn. His words not mine. I can also tell you from experience that the material the shoes are made out of can with stand chemicals as my husband used to work for a major carpet cleaning company where he would have to buy new boots every 2 to 3 months but with Lugz boots- He would have to replace them every 9 months to a year. You not only get comfort but you get cost savings all wrapped up in one. I’d say that is a win-win in my book.

I give this product my thumbs up and I highly recommend it as a Holiday gift or an everyday gift.
