#NOVICA Review and $35 GC Giveaway! Ends 12/16/16

Did you grow up with a subscription to National Geographic? Did you eagerly watch the TV specials? Do you subscribe to NatGeo on Cable?

I did and I do now!

I discovered NOVICA just a few years ago.  Novica is a global market place in associated with National Geographic. It's endeavor is to Empower. Connect. Preserve. 


That they most certainly do! The artisans supported by Novica come from many different regions of the world: The Andes, Bali, Java, India, Mexico, Thailand, West Africa, and Central America.

The items created by these artisans are amazing. From Jewelry to Fashion to Sculpture and more, every piece is crafted with love and skill.

I was blessed to receive this stunningly beautiful Cultured Pearl and Amethyst Necklace with Cross Pendant handmade from India. It retails for $43.19
Five radiant pearls adorn this amethyst cross pendant designed by Neeru Goel.

An artist story card comes with the pendant, so you will know the real person behind the item that you purchased. You may even follow that artist through your Novica account!

Hi! My name is Neeru Goel and I was born on September 19, 1960. I spent most of my childhood in Kolkata, a metropolis in West Bengal. Collecting jewelry and gemstones has been my passion ever since childhood. I have been greatly inspired by my grandmother who used to look into each and every detail, from how jewelry is made to what had been used to make the jewelry. I remember when I was just a child, my grandmother used to watch nomads walking on the roads and admire them for wearing huge and fancy jewelry. 
I recently started designing sculptures in silver with Meenakari art. This was suggested by a friend, who by looking at my designing skills thought I could also make a mark in sculpting. I am overwhelmed at this new experience, and I am looking forward to continuing on this new artistic path. 


Novica offers so many options for buy personal and gift items: unique corporate gifts, Decor Accessories, and more.

I am saving up for a birthstone ring for myself.  Are these Opal Rings not amazing? This one is my favourite:

You already know that I'm addicted to Bangles and Bracelets and there are so many beautiful choices. Like chips, you MUST buy more than one!

Now, my second addiction is Handbags. This leather bag just calls for me to bring it home.  It is hand-tooled Mexican leather!

There is something for everyone at Novica.  You rest assured that the money you spend will help the artisans and craftsmen who design and create these awesome pieces of art.

Fresh Produce Review and Giveaway Ends 3/24/14

DISCLOSURE:  I received a blouse from Fresh Produce for the purpose of this review. I received no monetary compensation.  The opinions expressed herein are my own and based on my own use of and experience with the item(s).

I found Fresh Produce a few years ago when I was searching for plus-size clothing.  I fell in love right away.  

I am not a fan of big flowers, loud colours, and garish embellishments. I'm big enough without clothing that makes me look like I'm wearing something from Omar the Tent-maker.

Fresh Produce has a large, varied selection of Plus-Size Clothing.  From 1X to 3X.  Solids, Prints, Pastels, Tops, Pants, Cardigans, Skirts, Pants, and Shorts!  

They also have accessories!

They take the challenges facing plus-sized women seriously.  They CARE about our needs and recognize our wants. I appreciate that.  

I was recently blessed to receive a gorgeous Vintage Drape Top in C'est la V.  I chose the beautiful Tea Rose colour. 

  

The material is 100% cotton and so soft.  It drapes nicely, has a small front chest pocket, and a curved hem. It really makes me feel nice and feminine when I wear it.  It also launders beautifully.

It's also available in several others colours: Black, Delray Ocean, Malibu Ice, Peri (periwinkle), Sea Green, Truffle, and Turquoise.

Fresh Produce is offering some truly amazing pieces on sale right now. HURRY! You don't want to miss out! 

You can connect with Fresh Produce on their Social Media Pages:

SMITTEN NYC: Review & Giveaway, CLOSED

CLOSED!!


Liz has decided to major in Interior Design at University (at least, that's this week's plan!), so when we were given the opportunity to review an item from Smitten NYC, we jumped at the chance!

You see, Smitten NYC offers some very unique, stylish designs for young women on the go and that fits my Liz to a *T*.

Smitten NYC offers Dresses, Cardigans, Sweaters, Tanks, and both casual and dressy tops. There is a really nice selection of designs -- especially suited to the young woman who has an eye for style and design.

Liz decided on the Striped Tank Top with Beads in Grey and Black.

As you can see from the photo -- it looks great on Liz. The fabric is light, cool, and so soft. It's just gorgeous! Liz loves it!

Another piece that we love is the Reversible Short Sleeve Open Sweater in Navy. It's perfect for Liz as she stays cold (lucky kid!) and this would be perfect for her in classes this fall.

You can connect with Smitten NYC on their Social Pages:
