eShakti~Beautiful Women's Clothing~Review & Giveaway!

Winners~Comment #28~Sarah Hull
Comment #41~soccermom1

For the most part, I don't enjoy shopping for clothing. I can never find anything that is my style. Some of it has to do with my weight but most of it has to do with stores not carrying much selection. And I have always been too scared to shop online for clothing for myself. Sure, I've bought clothes for Luke online with confidence but for me...no way. eShakti has taken away that fear!

Our Mission:

• To make every customer look her absolute best.

• Provide amazing styles and a wide variety of fabrics and color choices in all sizes from 0-26.

• Ensure the best possible fit and fall by providing all customers with the ability to personalize any item.

Our Vision:

• One size does not fit all and all sizes are not created equal. For too long women have been forced to conform to standard sizing that too often doesn’t fit properly.

• At eShakti, a woman can shop for exactly what she wants - no compromise, no premium to pay. She can ask for the fabric, color, body, styling and sizing that she likes. Never again will a woman have to hear that her size is not available.

Our Policy:

• Offer trendy, comfortable styles in a selection of fabrics.

• Provide the full size selection from 0 to 26W. We also offer custom sizes.

• Empower the customer by providing the option to change the styling to suit her body.

• Simple, no hassle, money-back guarantee on sales returns.

• All items, including custom orders are shipped in 3 days or less and should arrive at your door within 7 days.

While browsing eShakti I was in shopping heaven! They had so many styles that I loved, that would flatter my body!

I thought this Hem Knit Top was beautiful!

And this Beaded Empire Waist Tulle Illusion Dress is breathtaking!

After drooling browsing their site, I finally chose the

My Thoughts

I am one that tries on everything before I buy it. Everything fits differently and I hate to buy something I really love only to find out it doesn't look good on me. I was a little scared ordering something online, but the eShakti site made it easy. You can easily customize your clothing to fit you because they let you give them your actual measurements so you are guaranteed a great fit! You won't find this in any store! One thing that I found that I loved was the fact that they have you give them your height. I'm pretty short, so dresses and longer shirts never fall where they should and usually don't look good on me, this feature is a must have for me.

I received the Pastorale Melange Tee for review.

 When my top arrived, I was so happy with it! I loved how soft the material is and how comfy it is to wear. I love the fit and it's a dressy top that I can wear to work or to special places (like interviews) yet it is still comfortable enough to wear all day. The details on the shirt are great, even the buttons have beautiful print on them!

 I wish I was brave enough to wear a dress because eShakti has so many beautiful dresses to choose from. And I know with their custom sizing, I would get the best fit for me.

eShakti wants to give two of my readers a $20 gift certificate!!

Fit Moms For Life DVD Review & Giveaway!

Winner~Comment #2~Miller Racing Family!

In my quest to become fit (yes I know it is a slow quest, but one that I am bound and determined to do) I am always searching for workouts geared towards moms. At the same time, I want to know that it is going to work, and when I can see it work on real life women...it inspires me to do it too. Fit Moms for Life is a great workout dvd series that gets you moving and keeps you changing it up.

The Fit Moms For Life Monthly DVD program is perfect if you like to have structure and know what you are going to do each and everyday. This is our most comprehensive program and it includes eating plans along with the workouts. You can try out this monthly program for just the cost of shipping ($7.95) and there is no obligation to continue, just email us if you want to cancel. Each DVD contains a full 60 minute workout that contains 30 minutes of body toning strength training, 10 minutes of tummy toning abs, 8 minutes of burst training to burn the fat, and a nice warm up and cool down. It also features a 12 minute cooking or nutrition segment followed by an interview with the mom featured in the DVD. This is a 12 month program and each DVD progresses upon the previous. After a year you will be in unbelievable shape! The monthly program only costs $39/month which includes all taxes and shipping.

My Thoughts

I must say that I think that the "series" idea for this great. You may think "gee I need a whole series" but I love the idea of a new dvd coming in the mail every month. It keeps you motivated and keeps you from getting bored. I don't care how much you love a workout dvd, after a while they all get boring. This would definitely keep me interested and motivated. Each dvd progresses from the next, so you are taking your workout to another level each month. The dvd's feature a cooking and nutrition segment which you don't find on other dvd's and it also features a real life mom too! You do need an exercise ball and dumbbells for these exercises so if you don't have them, you will need to buy them, but I find that these are great things to have on hand anyways. They way this dvd is set up, you can select which section you want to do, wether it is cardio or strength or toning, and then you can select which specific exercise you want to do in that section. You can also choose to play all, and watch the whole dvd. This isn't like your typical workout dvd though. It's not set in a fancy studio or with a room full of models working out, it is a pretty plain setting with just Dustin and the mom of the month. In my opinion, it is like having your own personal trainer in your home which is nice for mommies. Dustin instructs you on proper form for each exercise. I have to say that this is kind of slow moving for me. There is too much time between exercises, but the exercises are effective. I received the first dvd in this series, so I'm not sure if the pace speeds up on the later dvd's in the series. But I do have to say that I needed that break in between on some of the exercises!

One of my readers will win their own copy of Fit Moms For Life!

Water For Elephants Coming Out on DVD November 1st!

If you are looking for a great romance movie for your movie night, Water For Elephants will be out on blu ray and dvd on November 1st!

Take a journey back in time with the romantic tale based on Sara Gruen’s New York Times #1 Best-Seller novel of the same name, WATER FOR ELEPHANTS, coming to Blu-ray and DVD on November 1st from Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment. Starring Academy Award®-winner Reese Witherspoon (Walk The Line), Robert Pattinson (Twilight series) and Oscar®-winner Christoph Waltz (Inglourious Basterds), the film presents an epic tale of forbidden love in a magical place filled with adventure, wonder and great danger. Showcasing the decadence of a bohemian circus and the majesty of its animals against the backdrop and beauty of a bygone era, WATER FOR ELEPHANTS makes the ideal holiday gift idea for your favorite film buff, fashionista or book-lover!

Devastated by the sudden death of his parents at the height of The Depression, a young dreamer from the wrong side of the tracks, Jacob Jankowski (Pattinson), abandons his veterinary studies at

Cornell University. With no other family, no house, and no money, Jacob stows away on a train carrying the circus performers of The Benzini Brothers Most Spectacular Show on Earth. Hired as a veterinarian to care for the troupe’s animals, Jacob is temporarily filled with the promise of an exciting life that comes with a traveling circus troupe. However, as he builds a rapport and falls in love with the star of the show, Marlena (Witherspoon), they become prey to the circus’s owner, Marlena’s violent and abusive husband August (Waltz). As the circus begins to crumble from within and against all odds, Jacob and Marlena come together and fall in love through their compassion for a special elephant. With their love on the line, Jacob and Marlena come to a crossroads that will forever change their destiny.

Directed by critically-acclaimed filmmaker Francis Lawrence (Constantine), WATER FOR ELEPHANTS features fantastic supporting performances from Paul Schneider (Lars and the Real Girl), Jim Norton (Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets), Mark Povinelli (The Polar Express), Richard Brake (Batman Begins), and Academy Award®-nominee Hal Holbrook (Into the Wild).

WATER FOR ELEPHANTS will be available on Blu-ray and DVD in the U.S. Pre-book is September 21st.

My Thoughts

I really enjoyed this romanitic movie. The story is great! I've wanted to see it since I saw the previews for it when it was in theater's but I don't go to the movies much. It definitely was as good as I expected! If your a fan of Robert Pattinson this movie doesn't disappoint. His character is great! You are not going to want to miss this one!

Wordless Wednesday!

Just having a little fun!

Pipsqueak Boutique Review!

If your like me, when it's your child's birthday you like everything to be festive...even the clothes that they wear. This year since we had swimming at Luke's party he didn't have any special clothes to wear, but next year I know where I'm going to get his birthday shirt, Pipsqueak Boutique!

Pipsqueak Boutique launched in 2005 after the birth of my first niece. With her arrival I was thrown in to a world of baby products I never knew existed. I couldn't get enough of hunting for cute baby gear for this sweet little girl. When I moved shortly after from a city of 3 million to a small town with only 70,000 people there was no longer the selection I had grown used to. My solution to the problem was simple, start my own store and make a business out of what I enjoyed.

Five years and two kids of my own later, I still love hunting for great baby products. As the owner of Pipsqueak Boutique I have the amazing job of choosing the most unique products for babies. My criteria is simple: it has to be high quality, affordable and unique enough to pass the “giggle test”.

Pipsqueak Boutique has the cutest birthday shirts for toddlers. I mean, who could resist this cute Firemen birthday shirt?

Or this adorable Cupcake Tutu Dress!

They also have a very cute selection of personalized 1st birthday shirts like this birthday prince personalized shirt! And they have for the princesses too!

 They have a huge selection of personalized shirts for everyday wear too. I was able to choose a personalized shirt for review. Luke helped me pick out the Construction Zone Personalized Shirt!

My Thoughts

I loved picking out this shirt. I had such a hard time picking out which style I wanted to get because I loved them all. Luke picked out this style so that is what we went with. This shirt is so cute. The fit is great and it is comfy for Luke to wear. This shirt is super soft, so soft that Luke even noticed! It fits perfectly, with just a enough room to grow. 

 I love the personalization and this style of shirt is great for fall weather. The colors are so vivid and haven't faded after washing.

 I definitely want to go out and get some pictures of Luke wearing this shirt, and if you plan on having pictures taken of your child, these clothes would be great.

 I love that they had cute styles not only for girls but for boys too. That is always something that I'm looking for in a store. They even have a little pumpkin personalized shirt too for halloween!

Be sure to head over to Pipsqueak Boutique and check out their selection. You are sure to find something that you and your child will love!

I recieved the mentioned shirt for review purposes only. No other compensation was received and these are my own honest opinions.

Mommyhood Monday!

Luke never ceases to amaze me with his big personality. He is such a goof ball at times and loves to make people laugh. He knows what he wants and he knows how to get it! He has no problem with begging and pleading either and if all else fails he will pull out the "plllllllleaaaassseee" trick, not that it ever "ahem" works :)

Here are Luke's likes and dislikes at this point in age 3:

Favorite Food: "roni and cheese" translation: Macaroni and cheese. But only the kind you make with butter and milk, no cheese sauce for this boy.

Favorite Show: Spongebob Squarepants. Although I don't like this show and never wanted him to watch it, he has somehow learned to love it and knows all the characters names by heart.

Favorite Toy: He plays with pretty much anything and has such a vivid imagination that even a hair barette becomes a steering wheel. I would have to say that he loves playing with his action figures the most, and his robot rubber duckies. Cozy Coupe is always a favorite too.

Favorite Movie: Toy Story is still hanging in there but he also loves The Brave Little Toaster and Happiness is a Warm Blanket Charlie Brown too.

Favorite Drink: Still chocolate milk!

Favorite Saying: "How it works?" Most kids say why, but Luke asks how it works. He wants to know how everything works, even if it's just a peice of bread! I figure that soon he will be tearing things apart to find out really how they work and not just mommy's explaination.

Luke still has his blankey and doesn't like to leave home without it. He loves to help out around the house with sweeping, mopping, cleaning, or anything that I am doing. He loves to bake and will help me cook anything. He knows how to crack an egg, I just wish he would eat them! He is still a picky eater but I'm working with him to try new foods. The other day he asked for a sandwich, I made him one but he only played with it. I was hoping that eventually he will get curious and take a bite. I think he has a thing with texture. Although he is picky, he still grows like a weed and puts on weight!

He is becoming increasingly affectionate and will tell me he loves me just out of the blue. There is nothing more I love to hear than him saying "I love you mommy" That just makes my day.

Luke continues to love art. He loves to paint and color and do crafts. He glued eyes, ears and tongue on his little pumpkin. He also loves to play spin art on Nick Jr. and I wonder how he would do with the actual spin art. I want to try different things with him like painting with bubbles and things like that. He loves those types of things.

Everyday is a new adventure for Luke and I try my best to foster his imagination and we play everyday. He is such a smarty, and I ask him questions about his colors and shapes in everyday conversation. His new thing is "C L Lukie" Yes he calls himself Lukie. But, he knows his name has an L in it but for some reason he thinks it has a C in it too :)

3 is such a fun age, and I keep finding new things for us to do and try.

I love you Lukie with all my heart and I am very proud to be your mommy! I hope that someday you will look back at this blog and read about what you were like, and it will bring back great memories!

Getting Ready for Christmas with Tiny Prints!

This time of year I start thinking about the holiday's. One thing in particular that always crosses my mind is our Christmas cards. Since Luke was born, I've always taken our Christmas card photo myself and I always try to do something cute and unique. I always start coming up with ideas months before Christmas so I can have the perfect pose. I get all our Christmas cards online and Tiny Prints has a great selection!

I really love the vintage look of their Banner of Dreams card!

I love that this card features the photo on the whole front of the card.

I am also loving the Santa's Little Helpers card too! I always include our doggie Jake in our cards and this would be too cute for that!

I love the colors and the saying of the Creative Christmas card too!

With Tiny Print's selection, I'm definitely going to have a hard time deciding which design to go with this year! I'm getting excited about the holidays!

I will receive 50 free cards for writting this post. No other compensation was received and these are my own honest opinions. If you would like to participate in this Tiny Prints blogging program you can go HERE.

Kidtoons Spookley the Square Pumpkin Prize Pack Giveaway!

Winner~Comment #145~Lori!


This has to be my favorite giveaway from Kidtoons yet! This month Kidtoons is featuring Spookely the Square Pumpkin!

In a world where "the only good pumpkins are round pumpkins," Spookley the Square Pumpkin is often teased by the other pumpkins because of his square shape. Soon, Spookley is befriended by Edgar, Allan and Poe, three hilarious spiders, who convince Spookley that, square or not, he has a right to be the "Pick of the Patch" on Halloween. A square pumpkin the "Pick of the Patch"? Not if mean round pumpkins Big Tom and Little Tom can help it. These two bullies tease and taunt Spookley because of his square roots. Although he is encouraged to continue to become the "Pick of the Patch" by kindly Jack Scarecrow and his bat sidekicks, Boris and Bella, Spookley isn't sure he has what it takes until a mighty storm threatens to destroy the entire patch. As the storm rolls the round pumpkins across the patch towards a raging river below, Spookley's square shape helps him save the day. Spookley realizes "it's fine to be round while the weather is fair, but there are times it's better to be a square!"

And, October is National Bullying Prevention month and Spookley the Square Pumpkin has been named the official Spokes-Pumpkin through a partnership with PACER Center. PACER, a national organization based in Minneapolis, Minn., works to expand opportunities and enhance the quality of life of all children and young adults, including those with any disability, and their families, based on the concept of parents helping parents . "The culture of bullying won't end until people across the country take action and show children and teens that they care," says Julie Hertzog, director of PACER's National Bullying Prevention Center, which sponsors the month. "We love the way Spookley touches the heart and the mind with his message of tolerance and acceptance."

My Thoughts

If you have a theatre near you that shows Kidtoons, you will definitely want to take your children to see this. Luke has the Spookley DVD and it is one of his favorite movies to watch. He watches this all year round. It is a cute story with a great message behind it. It's a great way to celebrate Halloween and some awesome quality family time!

Kidtoons wants to give one of my readers a Spookley the Square Pumpkin Prize Pack containing:

One Spookley whirly flashlight

One Spookley DVD

One Spookley Square Pumpkin plush

One Spookley hardcover book

One Spookley theatrical one-sheet/movie poster

Can You See What I See~Toyland Express Review!

Now who doesn't love a good search and find book? I used to love these books when I was younger, and well, I still do! I was happy when we received the Scholastic Can You See What I See Toyland Express book in the mail because I got the chance to share this kind of book with Luke!

An amazing new search-and-find adventure from the creative mind of renowned photographer and author Walter Wick.

Amazing photographs accompany a search-and-find story by Walter Wick, the creator of award-winning picture books, the author and photographer of the New York Times bestselling Can You See What I See? series, and the photographer of the bestselling I Spy series.

Can You See What I See? Toyland Express, the eighth title in the bestselling search-and-find series, follows the life of a toy train from the workshop to the attic, only to be rescued at a yard sale and brought to life once again in a new home. As readers search for more than 250 hidden objects, they will also notice how the train takes on various transformations along its journey.

My Thoughts

As I said before, I love this kind of book. Can You See What I See Toyland Express is filled with colorful pictures that feature awesome pictures of trains and toys. There is definitely a ton of great things to look at. I loved how it followed one trains journey from creation to actic to yard sale to toyland! I thought that was so cute! This isn't just your usual search and find book. It was easy enough that Luke and I could sit and find things together and the great photography kept Luke interested. He also liked to point out other items too. My 10 year old neice saw this book sitting on the table and picked it up and started looking at it too. She liked it as well! It is a book for all ages and train lovers and would make a great gift or stocking stuffer!

I received the mentioned book for review purposes only. No other compensation was received and these are my own honest opinions.

I'm Still Here!!!

I wanted to take a minute to let everyone know that I'm still here! It seems as though as soon as I start to get ahead here on my blog things happen back here in reality that pull me away.

I haven't posted about this here before but I lost my job. Due to budget cuts they could no longer renew my contract so I had 3 months to find a new job. I decided that I was going to try to do something that I have been wanting to do for awhile...I've become an Educational Assistant! I am only a substitute for the time being but I love it. I've been called to work everyday that I have been available and have really enjoyed it. It is definitely a change from office work and the first day I was exhausted but happy. I'm hoping to get a full time position which would be great and I'm glad I finally got to do something that I've been wanting to do for awhile now. Job loss is a very stressfull situation to deal with, especially being a single mom and especially while going through a divorce but I'm doing fine. Through everything that I've been going through I've learned that you have to roll with the punches and there is no sense in stressing over things, just find a solution and do it. And I had an awesome thought.....if I could get on full time I would have my summers off which would be the perfect opportunity to start my photography business! Yay! I've come to believe that everything happens for a reason and God is watching and has a plan for everyone. When one door closes, another opens and we all have to try to stay positive and just believe. I can say that I've had my moments of weakness but I always remind myself that I have the best blessings in the world...the greatest son a mommy could ask for and a great family and great friends too. I recently read some great books (I think that is the most I've ever said great in one post) about being a single mom which has really helped with my outlook on things. Reading these books gave me a great sense of peace about my situation and a great way to look at life. I will be writting a review about these books in due time and I believe that you will even be able to get a chance to win your copy too!

I've also been spending some quality time with Luke. We've played and we've had a halloween party. We got out the paints yesterday too. I am so blessed to have him in my life. He really is my sunshine and he makes me laugh every single day.

I will be posting some more giveaways and reviews within the next week so be on the watch for those. I noticed that I lost a couple followers and that sucks but when life happens, I have to go with the flow and do what feels right for me and Luke. I just needed to take some time and take care of business. I hope that all of you loyal readers understand that. I'm still here and I just need to get back in the groove of things.
