A Girl’s Best Friend. {Kranich’s Jewelers Review}

Diamonds are a girls best friend! I am the typical girl and LOVE beautiful jewelry, especially  those sparkling diamonds! There are so many jewelers out there offering many different types and qualities of pieces, it can be tricky to find the right one and one you trust; especially online. Kranich’s Jewelers is an honest, high quality jeweler offering beautiful pieces from Verragio, Ritani & so many more.

Kranich’s Brothers Jewelers was established in York, Pennsylvania, in 1903. The Kranich Brothers had stores in York, Lancaster and Altoona, Pennsylvania as well as one in Worcester, Mass. The Altoona store opened in 1923. Charles and Mildred Kranich operated and expanded the Altoona operation. In 1962, Charles and Mildred were joined in business by their son, Michael. In 1976 the Kranich’s opened a store in Downtown State College, the home of Penn State University. Charles and Mildred Kranich died in 1978 and Michael took over the family business. In 1996 Kranich’s opened a second State College location at the Nittany Mall. In 2000 Kranich’s opened a location in the Johnstown Galleria. In 2008 Kranich’s dramatically expanded their Logan Valley Mall location and Corporate offices. Michael Kranich was joined in business by his son Charles in 1991 and by his son Michael in 1996. Charles and Michael now serve as Co-Presidents of the company.

Throughout its history, Kranich’s Jewelers has specialized in fine diamond jewelry and engagement rings. Today, Kranich’s also specializes in fine timepieces, colored gemstones, gold and platinum jewelry and pearls. They also feature selections of Designer Jewelry, Estate Jewelry, Penn State Jewelry and Fine Crystal. In recent years, Kranich’s has actively grown their ecommerce business (kranichs.com). Such growth has given the company an international reach. Kranich’s remains your leading source for Fine Jewelry and Gifts in Central Pennsylvania.

I was sent a beautiful sterling, diamond knot ring from Kranich’s Jewelers. I was blown away with the design of this ring and it has not come off my finger; definitely a new favoritel. So gorgeous and simple, but still makes a statement. It has been a while since I’ve added a piece to my collection and I forgot how special a new piece of jewelry can make you feel! I loved browsing through Kranich’s site and looking at all the gorgeous jewelry they offer. Even though I have an amazing wedding ring, I couldn’t help but get sucked in buy all the gorgeous engagement rings available from so many talented designers. My diamond is round, but I loved so many of the Princess Cut Diamond Engagement rings offered. If I had seen a few of those many years ago, I may have gone Princess cut! I love the new vintage style that has come back, so elegant and classic. Who knows, maybe for a big anniversary year!

With Mother’s Day right around the corner, definitely check out Kranich’s Jewelers to find that perfectly elegant piece for the amazing mother in your life. They offer a beautiful and affordable Mother’s Ring and jewelry that any mother would swoon over. You get to design it by choosing the style and birthstones; created just for your mother. It will be a constant reminder of your love for her and the amazing relationship between a mother and child.

Organic. Hollistic. Healthy {Made from Earth Review}

As a mom it can be hard to take care of yourself. I mean, honestly, some days it’s hard to get a quick shower we are so busy! I have once again made taking care of myself a top priority. After a few years of putting myself on the back burner I am seeing how it has taken it’s toll on me physically; everything from my skin to my hair. As I have started trying to make positive changes in my overall health, I have become very aware of what I am putting in and on my body. And the fact that “organic” has many different meanings.

I was completely thrilled to receive several amazing products from Made from Earth. I can truly say every single product I received is wonderful, high quality and has become a staple in my beauty routine. Let’s talk Lip Balm. I don’t usually wear lipstick, but I always wear lip balm or lip gloss. The Spearmint and Vanilla Lip Balms from Made from Earth are wonderful and incredibly affordable. They really feel good on my lips and keep them healthy and soft. The Spearmint was my favorite and smells so good. I also received a bottle of Peppermint Herbal Conditioner. This conditioner is awesome! It smells amazing and leaves my hair silky soft. It was a great fit as I already use a peppermint shampoo. I think peppermint is one of my favorite scents always leaving me feeling refreshed and invigorated. I also fell in love with a few different Made from Earth skin care products. Every evening I look forward to using the Olive Night Creme. This is an organic night creme made with organic olives and olive butter.

“Organic Olive oil helps to improve skin elasticity, while moisturizing to smooth fine lines and wrinkles. The best beauty benefit of olive oil is allows for easy absorption to combat dryness. Since olive oil is a rich source of antioxidants, when applied to the skin it has been scientifically proven to that protect skin against aging.”

Everyday Storage Solutions! {Scout Review}

I was instantly smitten when I stumbled upon the SCOUT website! Offering everything from colorful bags, trendy luggage and clever storage solutions, I spent quite a bit of time taking it all in and making a dreamy SCOUT wishlist! So many beautiful and smart products available all at one place for an affordable price. Definitely got a bookmark before I left!

It all started with the idea of a colorful, durable bag, full of style but not too expensive. There was room in the market for something new. So in 2004, we did our first show in Atlanta, GA with four tote bag styles in four patterns. Today, the line has grown to over four hundred items encompassing, totes, storage containers, insulated items, travel, and flooring.

The personality of the line is about being unpredictable–it’s about finding a comfortable way of living that’s not too serious, but one that makes you feel good about being there.

We believe that when you invite Scout into your life–whether it’s toting or storing your stuff–it becomes a better place. So celebrate your stuff–find a pattern and product that fits the way you want to live. Because once Scout is in your life, you’ll see how it makes sense for the times and the way you want to live.

With Spring Cleaning in full swing around our house, I was thrilled to receive a Bungalow Junque Trunk from SCOUT! The Junque Trunk is a water resistant, collapsible storage bin with handles on the sides perfect for almost anything! It is available in several different color schemes and patterns; we decided on the Ombre Charles pattern. Brightly colored stripes are perfect for Ava’s room, where I knew it was going to be placed. Ava has more stuffed animals than we can count and even after sifting through them and donating a bag full, we still needed more storage. They are her favorite toys and she plays with them constantly so putting them away is not an option. The Bungalow Junque Trunk is perfect. It is a great size, holding lots of her stuffed animals. I love that there is no lid and she can put things in and out no problem by herself! The Bungalow Junque Trunk has been a fabulous addition to Ava’s room, offering a great storage solution to what I know is a common problem in many homes!

Buns in the Oven {Conceive Easy review}

 

Right now I am loving the little duo I have with my little guy. We play all day… I am so blessed to be a stay-at-home-mommy. He is growing so fast before my eyes. I can hardly believe he is 18 months old! He is my first, so I am thoroughly enjoying every moment I get to spend with him. Right now, when he brings me a book to read, I can stop what I’m doing and get down a read to him. Something I try to remember to do. The dishes and laundry will always be there, but he won’t always be little and wanting me to read and play. Now comes the conundrum. When the duo becomes a trio! Yes, it seems that it may be time to start thinking about adding!

I was recently given the chance to review a very interesting and potentially “extremely helpful”  company. Conceive Easy  is a company that provides supplementation for women who are wanting to do a little baking in their ovens… and NO…. I don’t mean the yeasty kind!   I didn’t have any trouble the first time, but Hey!… it could have been beginners luck, NO??!! I am really looking forward to using this system and hoping it will deliver as promised. The great thing is that there is a 30 day money back  guarantee! The pack I got includes 2 months worth of fertility supplement pills as well as a bonus of ovulation and pregnancy tests. The company’s website is super informative too. It gives all the scientific breakdown of cycles so you know why the pills work the way they do! Conceive Easy was featured in Pregnancy magazine and Marie Claire, just to name two. Here’s to a very “productive“  Spring! Thanks Conceive Easy! Conceive Easy is available exclusively online!

 

 

Hot Mama- Part Deux (Zaggora CapriFlares reivew} #hotinhotpants

 

Here we are at the end of March. I don’t know about you, but the year is already racing along! Spring is just around the corner, at least here in my area, but my mind is already looking months ahead for summer. I always kind of consider Spring the “get ready” season. Get ready for summer and swimsuits and shorts and less clothing! This summer I am going to be doing baby swim classes with my little munchkin, so I plan to be spending quite a bit of time at the pool. And you know what that means… wanting to look good in that swimsuit! Now, if you are like me, you are always happy to have ANY advantage against the battle of the (mommy) belly bulge. If you remember a few months ago, I talked about a “secret weapon” I was using to get ready for holiday parties and my trip to Mexico. You can read about that here. I am excited to share that Zaggora, the same great company that introduced me to Hot Pants…aka, my secret weapon, has come out with some new additions to their line of sweat inducing, cellulite burning, thigh, tummy and hip sculpting pants. They are Flares and Capri Flares. I was generously given my choice of the two to try and I went with the Capri Flares.  Zaggora is based in England and hit the market this past July. Their products are designed to help you loose inches and also to decrease the appearance of cellulite. There is a 2 week challenge that the company issues to all who get these.  Lose 2 jean sizes in 2 weeks, doing the same routine, eating the same diet but wearing the product while you work out. Here’s the scoop on how these Hot babies work!

Now for the disclaimer: This next part will be brutally honest! (Don’t say I didn’t warn ya!) :-)

Knowing how Hot Pants work, I was super excited to get these babies on and get moving. I had some surgery in January, which put me out for about 6 weeks. As a result, I lost a little bit of the results I worked so hard for before a trip to Mexico in January. A little softer in the tummy, a couple pounds, a little more top on the muffin… ya know what I mean? I have been aching to get rid of all that, so this was just the ticket to get me really movin’ again! I love the fit of the Capri Flares. They come up high on the tummy, so that gets included too, and hit just above mid-calf. The first time I worked out in them, boy…. If I was sweatin’ before, it was nothing to this. It was literally running down my legs into my shoes! (I warned you!) Now, for some of you, sweat may be about the grossest thing in the world.  But I have just come to accept it as the price for a great workout and even better results! Just be prepared to sweat!… A LOT…. Nuff said!! :-) I didn’t change my eating habits at all, and I worked out 4 days the first week and 5 days the second week. I wore them from morning to before bed, through the workout, then put on my other Hot Pants while I washed the Capri Flares. These pants are special, kind of like wetsuit material, so they must be washed on the hand wash cycle and dried without heat. After two weeks of wearing them, here are the results: I’m down 1.25″ in my hips and 1″ in my waist. I didn’t loose anything on my thighs, but I didn’t gain anything back from before. (I kept my measurements from the previous time!) And if that isn’t enough, I have a pair of jeans that were fitting great before the surgery but were getting tight again. :-( I tried them on the day I started the challenge, yes they were t-i-g-h-t, and then tried them on again this morning… HOORAY! They are have some room in them again! (And NO! I hadn’t washed them right before I tried them on the first time!):-)  I am so excited! Now, results do vary, but I am so happy and I know they will work for you! These are my honest opinions. I didn’t receive any compensation from the company, other than the Capri Flares. I’ve already been telling people about these. My Sis got two pairs LOVES them!! These Capri Flares are  Real Mom Recommended and I cannot wait to continue wearing them! These are just the ticket for any summer vaca’s coming up, weddings… hhmm, maybe your own perhaps, ( sure wish I’d had me some Zaggora clothing before my wedding!), or if you just want to look good at the pool or in your summer clothes! THANK YOU Zaggora!

Currently Zaggora only sells online, but I’ve seen on their Facebook page they are planning on coming to the US soon! There are also tons of other testimonials to check out on their FB page! And for even more fun, follow them on twitter.

amazing woman. her beautiful book. {Heaven is Here: An Incredible Story of Hope, Triumph, and Everyday Joy}

Stephanie Nielson is an inspiration to so many. I stumbled upon her blog, The Nie Nie Dialogues a few years back when I kept seeing little ‘Nie Nie badges’ on the sidebars of many of my favorite blogs. I would click on them and they would take me to her pretty fantastic personal blog. Her story. At this time, she had just been in a terrible plane crash with her husband and they were both in the process of recovery. I sat that first night and discovered her jewel of a blog and read back through so many posts, unable to imagine all that she and her family were going through. What struck me most about Mrs. Neilson was her joy for life in her blog posts. She wrote about her daily life with her children, her family, and her faith. I spent and still spend many nights praying for Stephanie and her family as she is continuing to recover. One thingI know, is she is an amazing mother that lives for her children and husband and the Lord. When I saw she had written a book, Heaven is Here: An Incredible Story of Hope, Triumph, and Everyday Joy, I knew I needed to read it!

Based on her immensely popular blog, Stephanie Nielson’s inspiring memoir explores how, in the wake of a near fatal plane crash, she comes to embrace, more than ever before, the power of love, motherhood, community, faith, and the simple joys of everyday life.

Heaven is Here is a poignant and inspirational memoir that chronicles Stephanie Nielson’s love affair with her husband, Christian, her fulfilling motherhood with her four young children, and her Mormon faith and close-knit community—the components of a very happy life Stephanie began blogging about in 2005.

However, their lives changed forever when Stephanie and Christian were in a horrific plane crash in 2008—he was burned over 40 percent of his body; she over 80 percent and wasn’t expected to live—and they needed the strength of their family and friends, their faith and their love for one another, more than ever. In the aftermath of harrowing tragedy Stephanie has maintained a stunning sense of humor, optimism, and resilience—a strength of spirit that infuses her very popular blog.

Riveting and uplifting, Heaven is Here offers a gripping account of the crash and the aftermath. With her trademark wit and good cheer, Stephanie will share the wisdom and insights she’s gleaned in the wake of her near-death experience and offer readers inspiration for how they too can find the best in themselves and embrace the joy and beauty of the journey, no matter what life throws at them. In the vein of The Middle Place and Saving Graces, Stephanie’s book will be a moving and poignant reminder of how faith and family, love and community can bolster us, sustain us, and quite literally in some cases, save us.

Heaven Is Here: An incredible story of hope, triumph, and everyday joy is a must read. This book tells Stephanie and Christian Nielson’s {Nie Nie} story, starting all the way back in their teen years. She shares their love story from the very beginning and details about their family life together. She writes of the horrific plane crash they were in and her recovery process. Physical and mental. Stephanie’s story is one of strength, faith, and family. Throughout this book all I kept thinking about was how every day is a gift. To live in each day present and happy. Stephanie shares many of the struggles she faced immediately after the accident and challenges she still faces today. Through her beautifully written book I feel like she has given anyone that reads it’s pages a gift. She shows how strong the human spirit can be and how amazing life is. Heaven Is Here: An incredible story of hope, triumph, and everyday joy is an incredible memoire written by an inspirational woman.

You can pick up your own copy of Heaven Is Here: An incredible story of hope, triumph, and everyday joy online & keep up with Nie Nie herself on her blog & facebook page!
