Soap Much Love Holiday Review



Ada from Soap Much Love sent me 2 great Holiday soaps to review. All of her soaps are so amazing. You can read my previous  review here.All the designs are so thought out and so beautiful. The scents are so delicious too!



The first soap she sent me was the Hot Cocoa Cup. Smelling it I had to make a cup of hot chocolate, because the smell is so mouth watering. It reminds me of a creamy cup of hot chocolate with a hint of mint. The design is super cute as well. All it needs is a handle and it would look exactly like a cup of hot chocolate with marshmallows included!!  I think this soap would be great gift this Christmas/Holiday season. I think this would be a great Stocking stuffer, great in guests gift baskets, guest bathrooms, teacher gift and so for so much more!



The second soap she sent me was the Christmas Spirit with Champagne fragrance. I was unsure what the scent was at first, but knew it was something sweet. When I found out it was Champagne Fragrance, it was a perfect fit for what I was smelling. It smells sweet and bubbly.These Soaps will be great through out the Holiday season placed anywhere you wash your hands. I love the hearts she carves into the soaps, adding a personal touch to every soap too.

I recommend you visit her Etsy Shop to see all the items she has available. Also head over to Facebook and Like her page. You will get updates on all the soaps she is creating, be able to give input on scents she should try and more. 

I think the Holiday season will be much more fun to give gifts and wash your hands with Soap Much Love.

Gildan Care Package review



I got the great chance to review some Gildan items for a great promotion that is going on now through November 15th. Their Touch Downs for Tuition is a great sweepstakes, you can win up to a $10,000 scholarship (no matter age of child) and a family (family of 4) trip to the Gildan New Mexico Bowl. They are also giving away 25 daily prizes that include their College Care Packages! (More in a minute on those) Enter here to win!



Now to the care packages! Right now through November 15, 2011, for every College Care Package that is purchased for $39.99 ($65 value) Gildan will donate a special care package to My Stuff Bags. My Stuff Bags has donated over 400,000 bags since they started in 1998! Their bags include a variety of items to bring children the comfort they need. You can purchase a care package for someone you love and know that one will be donated to another child in need. I know children that were in foster care and I think getting a special package to call their own from My Stuff Bags would really help them with a difficult transition. I also know that a college student will LOVE a care package! I used to check the mail every day hoping I had a package full of goodies! You can check HERE what is all listed in the care packages, there is a slight variation between men and women's. 



My care package was slightly different but I loved it! This is what I got:
  • 2 packages of Gildan socks (New socks are like walking on heaven)
  • 3 2000L T-Shirts in Red, blue, and pink (like above pink shirt)
  • A sport crew sweatshirt bluish/gray color
  • A big Gildan tote, that Velcros shut!


I loved all the items. I ordered a size Medium for my package which is the normal size I wear. All the items fit, but the sweatshirt seemed a little short in the sleeves. It was still super comfortable! I would recommend these care packages to any! Who does not need socks, shirts, etc?? They are made of great quality and are super comfortable. Plus, you will be helping out a great cause with the  My Stuff Bags!! 


(I did receive items for free in exchange for my review, however the opinions are mine and mine alone.)

Hollywood Fashion Secrets Review



So personally I find it hilarious when celebrities have fashion oops on the red carpet. It shows that they are human, and it also makes me giggle. (I know I am mean sometimes) Also, it means that these celebrities do not know about Hollywood Fashion Secrets. I know about them, and I love their products, I just wish this meant I was a celebrity! Thankfully Hollywood Fashion Secrets are available to everyone, and they are amazing! Added bonus for my local ladies, they are made in Minneapolis, MN.

I was more than excited when I was sent their "Fall Favorites". I have been waiting for awhile to do this review, as I wanted to wait until I was able to use all the products I was sent. Here is a description off all I was sent and my opinions of them!






  • 30 sheets ea. come in a 2 pack
  • Reminds me of those sheets you use to remove the oil from your face, (they have those too!) but these remove lint from your clothes.
  • Super convenient, I keep one in my purse and it it great for on the go touch ups!
  • Strong & Powerful, and last more than one sweep of your shirt!
  • Definitely recommend


  • Clear double sided stick tape to hold garments in place
  • This would help many celebrities with their "nip slips"
  • Works great with buttoned up shirts from that gaping in between buttons 
  • Holds up a tube top great 
  • Made from 3M Hypo Allergenic fabric friendly strips
  • These are a must have! 


  • I was terrified of this at first! I thought it would for sure rip my sweater wide open, not get rid of the pilling and fuzz!
  • I definitely did the garment test like it recommends, because I was so nervous about ruining my clothes.
  • I tried it on my sweater that I thought I would just have to throw away, because the pilling was so bad...it is like a brand new sweater! It took all the fuzz right off, and did not damage my sweater at all! 
  • I would definitely test the material first, but this is another must have for the Fall/Winter wardrobe!


  • Do you wear high boots over your jeans in the Fall/Winter? I do and these have made it some much easier to dress!
  • They are straps that you put around your ankles or calves to hold your jeans tight and in place. For me as a runner, I have large calves so I wear mine on my ankles and they work great. 
  • Now you don't have to fold your pants into your socks and hope that they stay in place. The straps keep your pants neatly in place and looking nice!
  • Fall/Winter MUST HAVE for boot lovers!!


  •  It is rare, I mean very rare that you  would see me in heels, but on occasion it will happen. Some of my pants look cute with flats, and others well sometimes they just call for a heel to be a little sexier!
  • The Hem Tape is perfect for these times! I can wear the longer pants with the heels and when I want to wear my flats (usually) I just add some Hem Tape. 
  • Reminds me of the Fashion Tape, it does its job and works great!
  • If you are between short and tall like me, you can NEVER find pants that fit correctly in the length...I recommend the Hem Tape for times like these! 
Overall everything I received in the Fall must have collection was amazing! I would recommend these products to everyone! They are very reasonably priced and they do their job. There are so many items to choose from, check them out!! Get $4.99 Flat Rate Shipping and on orders over $25 FREE shipping! Get all the things you need to make this Fall and Winter season, a great one in fashion!! LIKE them on Facebook too!
