Scarves Dot Net Review & Giveaway

Scarves are one of my favorite fashion accessories right now. I go through phases, like many women do, where I just don’t like the clothes I’m wearing anymore. They get monotonous. Sure, I can try to mix the look up by wearing different jewelry, but sometimes, I just feel blah…I love how adding a scarf to an outfit can change the look. It adds so much color to the outfit and to be honest, it makes me feel different. Scarves Dot Net is a website that has an unbelievable number of scarves available! They are available in every color, shape, length, material, etc. Scarves Dot Net sells their scarves for fabulously low prices.

I was very lucky to have the opportunity to review another scarf from Scarves Dot Net. I chose to review the Demi Crinkle Scarf. I love pink and this scarf has been a great addition to my wardrobe. This scarf is 100% Polyester, which was softer than I thought it would be. It is 76" L x 35" W in length and has an inch of fringe at the bottom. This particular scarf comes in blue and tan as well.






I had always considered scarves as a fall or winter fashion accessory; however, Scarves Dot Net has summer scarves in beautiful colors. For summer, I would probably choose one of their skinny scarves. I wouldn’t want to wear a thick scarf in the summer, so the skinny scarf variety makes sense. Regardless of the scarf, I tend to wear the scarf in the same manner. However, Scarves Dot Net has a fabulous “Ways To Tie A Scarf” page that teaches you 37 different ways to tie a scarf. Did you know there are 37 ways to tie a scarf? What I love about this page is the fact that they have a video to teach you how to tie instead of simply using a diagram.

Bacon Wrapped Tees Review & Giveaway

I know bacon isn’t exactly the healthiest of foods for you to eat, but oh my….I just love it so much. I splurge when I go out to breakfast. I have to have bacon with my omelette. These Funny Bacon T-shirts caught my eye and I just loved their tagline of “Everything Tastes Better Wrapped in Bacon”. Isn’t that the truth? I haven’t seen any t-shirts like this – they are definitely unique!

“At Bacon Wrapped Tees, we're on a mission to tell the world how funny a bacon t-shirt can be. We believe bacon is proof that god loves us and wants us to be happy. Our bacon shirts will not only put a smile on your face every time you wear them but will cause everyone that sees your bacon t-shirt to burst with joy!”

I reviewed the Bacon Elements t-shirt featured in the photo above. I admit that I am a little bit nerdy just a little :); therefore, this t-shirt is perfect for me. As you can see from the photo, the t-shirt spells “Bacon” using the periodic table. My t-shirt fit perfectly.  In visiting their websites, I liked the fact that you can personalize your t-shirt by color. They have many options from which to choose, which was impressive. I saw many that made me chuckle. A few of them are posted below:






Bacon Wrapped Tees are eager to give customers a funny, entertaining t-shirt, but they are also committed to providing a quality experience. Their t-shirts will be printed and shipped within 24 hours!

Bacon Wrapped Tees has kindly offered to sponsor a giveaway for one of their t-shirts!  One Tidbits From A Mom reader will win their choice of tee.  Please fill out the Rafflecopter form below to enter.

Affordable Scarves Review & Giveaway

I’m sure you have heard the expression, “Accessories make the outfit”. I have always been a firm believer in this expression. I think it is important to find the right jewelry, belts, scarves, etc. to coordinate with any outfit in order to complete the whole ensemble. I’m no “fashionista”, but I do love shopping! I often wear knitted scarves as accessories simply because that’s what my mother likes to make for me. My style can vary from funky to classic. I recently learned about a company called Affordable Scarves. Affordable Scarves has an enormous variety of scarves from which to choose of every shade, style, material, and style for both women and men. In particular, I was eyeing the striped scarves and crinkle scarves.

I was very excited to be offered the opportunity to review a scarf from Affordable Scarves. It was not an easy task to choose a scarf to review – there were so many choices. I found scarves I liked simply based on color or by material or by shape. There were so many I liked! I finally decided to go with the particular color that I like. I often wear cream, black, and gray, so I chose a scarf called, “Erica Colorblock Scarf”. As soon as I unwrapped it, I was so pleased with my decision. The Erica Colorblock Scarf is long, soft, and simply beautiful. The quality of the fabric is wonderful. It matches my style perfectly and I have received many compliments!




Prior to visiting the Affordable Scarves website, I had only known a couple of different ways in which to tie a scarf. However, the website contains a video that teaches you 37 different ways in which to tie a scarf! Who knew there were so many different ways?! Not me!

Not only was I simply blown away by the sheer variety of scarves available, but I was completely impressed by their prices. They are the epitome of “affordable” and certainly earn the title of “Affordable Scarves”. No one can deny that. In addition to the prices and the insane variety of scarves to choose from for women, I was also impressed by the number of choices of men’s scarves as well.

2011 Holiday Gift Guide: Lazoo Children's Products: Review & Giveaway

I really enjoy finding unique clothing and books for my children that cannot be found in any local shop or the mall.  Lazoo is a company that sells unique products, including clothing and accessories for boys and girls and activity books.  Apps will be available soon as well.  Lazoo places an emphasis on the child's imagination - "In this world, kids are encouraged to think independently; "coloring outside the lines" is celebrated and all types of creative self–expression are honored".



My daughter was sent two Lazoo books to review recently.  They are two new titles - "Holes" and "Squiggles"!  Both books are such unique and fun activity books that truly foster a child's imagination that I definitely needed to include them in my 2011 Holiday Gift Guide!  My daughter loves art and spends a great deal of time coloring the images from her mind. 



Both "Holes" and "Squiggles" are like no other coloring book I have ever seen.  In "Holes", children are encouraged to color within the holes of a page and when the page is turned, the color that was inside the hole has become a detail for the picture on the next page.  Very cool!  In "Squiggles", children are asked to draw squiggles, which ultimately become other objects or details for the picture, such as the details of a dress, a decoration for a cake, or clouds.  Both of these coloring books instantly bring a child's imagination to life. 




I am very happy to announce that Lazoo has kindly offered to sponsor a giveaway for one Tidbits From A Mom reader to win copies of both "Holes" and "Squiggles"!  Please fill out the Rafflecopter form below to enter. 

Hartstrings Review

My husband and I have often referred to our daughter as a “little Punky Brewster”, in that she has a style all her own. She loves to make a statement and stand out in the crowd. Her style typically incorporates bright colors and items that do not always match. I have to admit that when she was a little younger, I wanted to control what she wore. I quickly learned to appreciate her style and her individuality and refrained from controlling her clothing choices (within reason!).

Regardless of her wild style, my daughter can certainly appreciate a beautiful outfit. She loves dressing up for special events, holidays, and when we are having company. The outfits she chooses for these occasions are much more subdued and traditional.

Hartstrings is a company that has beautiful clothing for babies, girls, and boys. Whether you are searching for outfits for school or a special event, you will find numerous choices that are simply adorable. My daughter was given the opportunity to review the Multi-Stripe Sweater Dress from Hartstrings recently. While unwrapping the sweater dress from its packaging, my daughter and I whispered “Wow!” at the same time! I was amazed at the quality of the dress - it is made with a thick, soft yarn. Modeling the dress for me, my daughter instantly fell in love with this dress and declared it her “Christmas Eve outfit”.




In perusing their website, I was “oohing” and “aahing” over so many of the outfits, particularly the holiday outfits. I also felt that many of the prices were reasonable and comparable to some of my local stores. There are several items for both my daughter and my son that caught my eye. Here are some of items in which I was most interested!



Thank you very much to Hartstrings for allowing us the opportunity to review one of your products!
