Duplika Handmade

duplika handmade

Today I want to share with you a shop belonging to one of my sponsors. Duplika Handmade. Your shop name; Duplika Handmade, I have never heard of that. What does it mean, and what was your inspiration for choosing that name? The name Duplika has been with me, in my head, since I was a child. I first heard the name on a morning cartoon. It was one of those words or names you hear and instantly take a liking to but you [...]

Get the Most out of Your Juicer

get the most out of your juicer. Breville

Today I thought I would share a review and how to get the most out of your juicer. When I was learning about juicing, it seemed the majority of people recommended a Breville. So I went shopping for a Breville. I found several on Amazon but because the moo-la is tight (when isn’t it?) I went with the Breville BJE200XL Compact Juice Fountain 700-Watt Juice Extractor, it’s $99.99 with free shipping. Honestly, I love my juicer. But if I had [...]

good neighbors candles

A review of Good Neighbors Candles, a giveaway, and the Shopping Saturday linkup! A couple weeks ago an Etsy shop called Good Neighbors Candles linked up to Shopping Saturday. As always I clicked the link and looked through the shop. I found myself very impressed. Not only were there candles, but also soaps, lotions and beautiful photography note-cards. When I went back and looked at the candles again I noticed they were high quality soy candles and not made with [...]

As a BuzzAgent, I often get sent new products to try and share about. I don’t usually blog about then but this time I am.

So, just in time for Valentines, I got to try out this razor and find out what all the hoopla about silky smooth was about. Turns out, it wasn’t [...]

Maybe it’s just something you say when you get on the scales, or maybe you are serious and tomorrow you do start a diet. Ever feel like that?  Dieting is not [...]

Everyday Matters Bible for Women

Everyday Matters Bible

I recently went to the mail box and found a package in it. In that package was the Everyday Matters Bible for women! I had signed up to review it a few weeks prior and nearly forgot about it! The Everyday Matters Bible was definitely designed with women in mind, very pleasing to the eyes. But the inside is also pleasing. This Bible features twenty-four disciplines—or practices—that position us to receive power and strength to do those things that we [...]

A Sunglasses Love Affair

Glasses

This post is sponsored by GlassesUSA.com I have always been a fan of glasses. In fact when I was in 2nd grade, I remember squinting and squeezing my eyes in hopes that I wouldn’t be able to see clearly. But, to my dismay I could still see quite well. Since I didn’t need eyeglasses, I went to the next best thing, sunglasses! I sported some interesting sunglasses over the years. Sadly, I was only able to find one picture of [...]

Pages From the Past

Pages from the Past

A little known fact about me, is that I love old things. Really old things, not just second hand things like what most of my house is. I’m talking at least a 100 years or more.  Old books also happen to be something I enjoy. Oh, who I am kidding? I just love books! Having (hopefully) made clear my love of old things. I have something rather exciting to share with you! Megan, From Shaping up to be a Mom, [...]
