Sprucing Up My Living Room!

I love my house. I really do. Only problem is...it is small. As much as I love furniture and decorating with it, there isn't much room with which I can work. However, I am content with what I have and am comfortable with our lifestyle and home. When I think of ever having to leave this house, I cringe. We have so many memories that have been made here! Here was where we came the night on which we were married. Here is where we found out we were expecting our first child...and here is where we brought her home. Yes, THIS is home to me and I really don't mind it at all. Someday, if God decides to bless us with a larger home I do have some dreams of how I want to decorate and furnish it...frugally, of course!

One of the things that I would really love to have in my home is a curio cabinet. Well, Cymax has yet another store that carries some lovely curio cabinets and that store is morecuriocabinets.com. On this site you can find all sorts of cabinets to fit your needs and decorating tastes.

Upon browsing this online store I came across a really gorgeous curio cabinet that I could really picture in my home. It is the one pictured above...isn't it beautiful??? You all know by now that I LOVE dark wood and this simple, yet elegant design is just my style.

Now if you are REALLY crunched for space like I am and can afford to get a new piece of furniture, how about a curio cabinet to put in a corner? This would definitely be a great option for us. I am thinking that I would probably put my boxed-up knick-knacks into one. How great would that look?!?

If you have small children running around...like I do, and you are worried about them "helping themselves" to your sparkly things then you may want to consider getting a wall display curio cabinet. This would be perfect for me as well. I love how they look so nice on the wall and yet are out of reach of little fingers. The mirror is gorgeous as well and adds a wonderful 3-D effect.

So, when it comes to replacing or just buying a new curio cabinet, you can check out morecuriocabinets.com for your shopping needs. I am sure that they will have something for you and will be sure to provide you with great service and selection.

The Pickle Juice Company Review & Giveaway

How many of you are super athletic and active during the summer months? I used to be...prior to having children and now, it seems I chase them all around so that counts as something, right? One concern that many athletes and active people have during the summer is hydration and the risk of dehydration, especially if you live in a hot/tropical climate. We life in NY state so we have four full seasons, our summers can be hot and humid and if you are active, that can be challenging. The other issue that many run into is having a sports drink that can replenish and refresh their system that is gluten free and healthy for them too. Food allergies can limit the choices when it comes to hydration drinks. So, today I am going to introduce you to The Pickle Juice Company . This company specializes in gluten-free sports drinks that will stop muscle cramps in their tracks and keep you hydrated and refreshed no matter what activities you are participating in this summer! Before I continue wi...

Softlips Review & Giveaway {CLOSED}

***GIVEAWAY CLOSED*** It is that time of year again...break out the chapstick! The winter will be here before we all know it (around here, anyway) and that means that the cold wind and dry air will be sapping all the moisture from my face. Right now, the weather is in the upper 40's (major bummer) and we are going to have a green Christmas, from what I can tell. Today I was out and about running some last minute Christmas errands and was so thankful for my Softlips chapstick I had in my car. While it is still mild out, my lips still need to be moisturized and I just LOVE the Softlips brand. If you are unfamiliar with Softlips , it is a product of Mentholatum which manufactures other brands such as Oxy, Fletchers, pHisoderm and several others as well. Softlips is also manufactured not far from my home...which is pretty neat too! Before I continue with my review, here is a short video of some gift ideas for this Holiday season...from Softlips! Personally, I wou...

Carmex Healing Lotion & Healing Cream Review & Giveaway {CLOSED}

***GIVEAWAY CLOSED*** Because I am a member of the Carmex Blog Squad , I am informed of and privileged to bring you reviews of Carmex's newest products! This is something that I have been doing for awhile and have really grown to love the Carmex brand. The newest products that have been introduced by Carmex are lovely and will definitely impress you as they have me. Because I am a mom, I wash my hands frequently. After diaper changes, before cleaning wounds, bathroom breaks, preparing food...all this requires clean hands. Because I usually apply lotion while I am moving and going from one thing to the next, I do not like a greasy lotion. I HATE applying a cream and having to "dry" my hands for the next half hour. What a perfectly good waste of time that is. So, I was wondering what Carmex would offer me in way of fast and quickly absorbing lotion. Before I continue, here is a bit more about Carmex for those of you who are new to their brand... Carmex® lip...
