Beautiful flame dress




This is a wonderful , fun flirty dress. I have to say that my husband loves this dress. He said It looks amazing and because he loved it so much makes it now one of my favorite dresses. I bought an extra large and I actually could have bought a large. I wear a large top and size 12 jeans if that helps, I am also 5'6 and the dress drags the ground. This is perfect for me to wear a pair of heals with, unfortunately I would never be able to wear this as a swim suit cover up unless I wanted to told the dress up or wear heals to the pool lol. This is nice enough that I can wear it out on a night on the town or just a summer day going shopping. I love the flames that run up the dress. They actually go right up to the ribbing under the breasts. There is a ribbing that runs under the breast line, it sort of gives it a baby doll dress effect. It helps accentuate your breasts. I like that effect because I am a little top heavy for my frame I am a D cup and sometimes dresses make me look bigger than I am because they hit the breasts and just hang. That's not an issue with this dress. It is a halter dress that ties, so you can make it as tight as you need to. If you have larger breasts, it will end up showing lots of cleavage (hence why my husband loves it).

The material is very stretchy so flows beautifully. It does not "cling". That is great if you have problem areas that you want to avoid showing off. I have had 3 children so my tummy is a little flabby lol and it hides the "jiggle". over all this is a great dress and I am glad to add it to my collection of dresses!

cereal keepers





If you have kids like I do, then you know the frustration of going for cereal just to find it stale because they never closed the bag to keep it fresh, I can't tell you how many boxes I had to toss because of this! I was so excited to try these out!

The lid is super tight, you need to use a little pressure to pop them on and they even need pressure to get them off. That is a good thing because I won't have to worry about them falling off while the kids are trying to pour their cereal. I have seen containers that have a flip top lid. These actually come with a measuring scoop. That way if you want to measure how much cereal you are actually eating, or you can just pull the measuring scoop off and pour it in the bowl. The scoop is not as hard to get on and off, it actually comes off pretty easily. That's not an issue for me because they sit on a shelf.

These containers are microwave, freezer, and dish washer safe. I am only using them for cereal so I was surprised that they were freezer and microwave safe! I was able to poor in 2 boxes of fruit loops and have the lid fit on perfect. Each box of cereal were 8.7 oz. They were "normal" size boxes not the large family size ones!

I love these because it allows my children 3 choices of cereal and they are not allowed to open any other boxes until those are gone. It has helped save me from tossing cereal that became stale and in my book anything that saves me money is a WIN! If you would like to buy these keepers you can do so here .

Yacun Women's Off Shoulder Short Mini Casual Tunic Dress Shirt



I am always a little worried when it comes to ordering clothing online. I know most of the time, they seem to run a little smaller than expected. I ordered this a little bit (actually quit large) larger than I needed. I figured having it big would be better than it being to small. When this says short, they really mean it is short. It was short enough that I would not wear it out of the house with out leggings under it, but I do love this. I wish I had ordered the size that I really needed so it fit me a little better. The sleeves are longer with the cut out on the shoulders, they show off my tattoos perfect with out having to wear a tank top. I think that if I would find a nice wide belt to spruce it up a little, it would be perfect for a night out on the town.

The material is super soft, it almost has the feel of your favorite old tee-shirt. I have only washed it one time and it held up just like you would expect. I did not dry it in the dryer though because , I had spilled sauce on it and I didn't want to set the stain if it was not removed completely. I did not pre-treat the stain or soak it. I just washed it the next day and to my surprise it came right out. I am impressed!! Over all this is a great little dress for the price! If you would like to purchase this dress shirt you can do so HERE .

Date night dress



When it comes to ordering clothing online I am always a little unsure. I have to tell you that this fit me just right. I ordered and XL. The sizing stated that it would be a size 10 I think in american sizes. I wear a size 13-15 in jeans depending on who makes them. We all know that no two pairs of jeans fit us the same. I wear a large top because I am a little heavy in the chest area I wear a 36 D when it comes to bras. If it wasn't for my shoulders and chest I would have been able to fit a large no problem. I am 5'5 and half bare feet in height and the dress came just above the floor. I would be able to wear a flat pair of shoes with it or heels with out issues.

The dress is almost like 2 dresses in one. You have the underneath dress that is the cream/white color. It has a silky feeling to it so it flows really nice. The second outer dress is the black lace. It is a little thicker that when you think of sheer lace. That means its not a "delicate" as sheer lace.

It comes with a swooped neck line, so I did not have to worry about showing a lot of cleavage if I wanted to be covered. The empire waste line helps conceal and belly issues that I have had because of having children. The empire waste line does make me look a little bigger than I normally am, but it covers all the imperfections so its a win in my book. There is a removable stretchy belt. I chose not to wear it because it has a built in "belt" that is actually part of the design of the dress.

There is a zipper that runs all the way down the back to the top of the buttocks area, it is hidden with a little flap of material so you really can't notice it unless you are looking for it. I personally did not need the zipper, I was able to pull it on and off with out any issues. This dress is perfect for any time that I need to dress up. I wish I had more reasons to dress up because I like it so much! If you would like to order this dress you can do so, HERE .

Full Framed sunglasses





I really love these glasses. I am a fan of the big sun glasses look, but these were a little bigger than even I expected. They cover half of my face tehehe. I love the vintage look of these glasses. I live in Florida and that is one of the big reasons I love large glasses. I not only like to protect my eyes from the harsh sun, but I like to protect the skin around my eyes from the sun as well. I want to look young when I am in my 60's lol. These come with a nice hard zippered case to keep them protected. I really liked the case because I am always buying cheep sun glasses and then toss them in my purse and they get scratched and I always tell myself to pick up a case to protect them and never do. These saved me from "forgetting" to do that.

The construction of these glasses are really nice. The arms are thin and do not get tangled in my hair like some wider ones do. The screws were tight and the arms do not wiggle. The lenses are also dark I was surprised at how dark they really were when I put them on. They will be great for those bight summer days here when the sun seems to burn holes into everything! I would recommend these to anyone wanting a nice pair of large framed sun glasses! If you would like to have your own set you can get them Here .

amazing solar lights






I really like these solar lights. I redid my gardens and I wanted a way to light them up at night. I have bought cheaper lights and they did not give me the lit up effect that I wanted. I was thinking that I would have to run electric lights to my garden but I really didn't want to spend the money that an electrician would want. I figured I would give these a shot.

They arrived very fast and had to be assembled. Assembly was super easy it only took one "screw" it has a cap on it that you tighten with your fingers. Then the plastic stake slides into the bottom of it to place into the ground. These lights can also be wall mounted and comes with the screws that you would need to wall mount it. The light pivots and so does the solar panel so you can position it exactly as you would need it.

There is a switch on the under side of the solar panel that you can turn it on and off as needed. There are two different light settings, low and high. I wish I can tell you how many hours that they stay lit up, but I always end up asleep before the lights go out, so to me they last as long as I need them, and that is several hours of darkness. Over all I am really pleased with these lights! I do have to advise you that the first night I used them they did not seem to get that bright and I did not realize that there is a "plastic" material that coated the solar panel that when I was looking at them the next morning to re position them for better lighting(because my garden is shaded most of the day, they only get morning light) is when I noticed it on them and pealed it off. That night the light was much brighter!  If you want a set of these amazing lights you can get them HERE .

great vintage dress







I have to say that I am not a huge fan of dresses. I can never find one that I like the way they fit. They always feel constricting. This dress has changed my mind. I love this dress. To start off there is a small zipper on the side. I did not need to unzip it. It was easy to slide right over my head. The material has a lot of stretch. I ordered and xl and I was pleased. I think that I could have pulled off a large if it wasn't for my breasts. The material really flows so there is no clinging in the wrong spot issues. If you have body flaws that you want to hide then this is the dress to do it in.

It also shows off curves, but you are still fully covered. The tear drop cut outs in the neck line, give it a very classy yet sexy feel to it. You will also find the same cut outs on the little patch pockets on the front. It does come with a cute thin little belt. The only issue I found with the belt was that it was way to long. I was almost able to wrap it around me twice. It's not a major issue, I can trim it up a little bit with a nice pair of sheers. If you would also like to purchase this dress then you can do it here .
