..::Product Reveiew::.. Crazy Dog T-Shirts!

I was recently selected to do a product review on Crazy Dog T-shirts.  I must say that when I got to choose which shirts I would be reviewing, it was a hard decision!  There are so many to choose from.  I finally settled on the Big Boy and the Oregon Trail t-shirts.

Packaging & Presentation

When the t-shirts arrived, I was pretty excited!  They came in a plastic envelope, nothing too sturdy.  They really were not wrapped for presentation, however, I think that if you specified that you were giving it as a gift or something it may come in a box.  The t-shirts themselves were folded and were a little creased from the shipping, and I needed to throw it in the dryer before I wore it to reduce the creases.

Ease of Use

T-shirts are obviously very easy to use, so let me discuss the wear, durability, how it washes, and compliments.  I wore the t-shirt all day, and it was so very comfortable.  It wasn't stiff at all.  It felt as I had the t-shirt for years.  The durability is really good, it seems as it will take a lot to ruin this shirt!  (Besides spilling mustard on it!)  I washed the shirt like I would any other of my clothing.  The pattern is still there, looking brand new!  It washes and dries very well.  When I wore my shirt all day, I went to a couple of stores to see if anybody noticed it.  I wore the Oregon Trail one out, and people laughed at it, told me they remember the game, and told me I made their day.  Let's just say I didn't make their day- Crazy Dog T-shirts did!

Style & Specifications

Crazy Dog t-shirts come in many, many, many varieties.  There is a t-shirt to fit every mood, personality, and desire.  The t-shirts are fitted for Men, Women, and Kids.  Crazy Dog T-shirts also offers the ability to create your own custom T-shirt!

Summary

I must say that I really enjoyed reviewing these t-shirts.  It was quite fun.  To summarize, buying a t-shirt from Crazy Dog T-shirts is swell, however it is SUPER difficult to choose just one.  The shirts fit great, and wash well.  Lastly, if you decide to order as a gift, please be sure to let them know and discuss different packing options so your t-shirts arrive looking their best!

Here's a Little Rant. . .

:

As you may know I am a in the Navy, an E-5 prior Sonar Technician, on Active Duty for a little over 4 years now.  I got picked up for the STA-21 Program, and currently stationed at Old Dominion University in Norfolk, Virginia.  It's a life choice that I decided to put in a package for this program.  I work really hard to provide for my family.

. . . BUT. . . 

It's really taking a toll on me.  I am having a hard time adjusting to the 'college life'.  It's a new style that I'm not used to, kids with attitudes, and no goals in mind.

I'm having a hard time in my Precalculus class.  I only know it's going to get worse, because I have to go all the way up to Calculus 2.  Oh My Lord.  

I am a dedicated individual.  When I say something, I am going to do it.  I have had plenty of people tell me that I am hardheaded, stubborn, and won't take no for an answer.  Great attributes for the United States Navy.  Bad attributes for a wife and mother.  Sometimes I feel like I spend too much time doing my homework and not paying enough attention to my family.

I know it will all payoff in the future, but what if there is no future.

What if I die tomorrow.  Or what if I die in 2 hours?

Will what I am doing now take precedence over what I should be doing now?

People tell me they are so proud of me, wish they can do what I am doing.

By no means is it difficult.  I get a full ride through college while still collecting Active Duty Pay.  I come out with a nice degree and a commissioned officer.  Sounds like a good deal!

I just worry that in the meantime, while I am trying to reach Self-Actualization, what am I giving up in the meantime?!

..::Review + Giveaway::.. PalmBeach Jewelry

Recently, I’ve had the pleasure of reviewing the stunning DiamonUltra CZ Tennis 14k Gold-Plated Bracelet from PalmBeach Jewelry.  This is by far one of the most fashionable and beautiful bracelets that I have ever worn, and for the price, everybody can certainly have one!   

Packaging & Presentation

PalmBeach Jewelry sets a high standard for the jewelry business.  When I received my package, it was sent in a perfect little box, fast secured by placeholders.  This packaging would make well to give as a Christmas, birthday, or any special gift!

Ease of Use

Compared to bracelets that I’ve previously tried, this particular Tennis Bracelet is indeed secure after it is fastened.  I have worn it for approximately one full week, and it has stayed on throughout my normal living routine.  The length was perfect, as it wasn’t cumbersome and allowed me to continue through my day.  I have had no issues in the shower, doing the dishes, during school, during work, nothing.  It is a wonderful bracelet.  There is an odd clasp (as seen in the picture below), but I firmly believe that because of this clasp, it has allowed the bracelet to be so multifunctional. 

Style & Specifications

PalmBeach Jewelry’s DiamonUltra CZ Tennis 14k Gold-Plated Bracelet is 9.36 carats T.W. of princess-cut DiamonUltra Cubic Zirconia.  It is set in 14k Gold-Plated and is 7 ¼” in length.  The bracelet is very easy to clean, but cannot be directly soaked in water.  For more information about the bracelet, please visit:

http://www.palmbeachjewelry.com/products/detail-DiamonUltra-CZ-Tennis-14k-Gold-Plated-Bracelet-10563.cfm

Summary

Overall, PalmBeach Jewelry has really outdone themselves on this striking bracelet. I have never been so excited in my life over a piece of jewelry.  It is completely versatile, as one can wear it early in the morning, all day at work, or to that late night date!

..::Product Reveiew::.. Amy Michelle Rodeo Drive Street Bag

I was lucky enough to have the opportunity to work with Amy Michelle, and to do a review on one of the Street Bags.  I was sent the Rodeo Drive Bag in Chocolate/Turquoise to commence the review.

Packaging & Presentation

The Street Bag arrived very well presented, covered in plastic and folded to where there were no 'shipping creases'.  This was very professional, and made me feel like I was getting a quality product.  

Ease of Use

I don't know a diaper bag that could possibly be any easier to use.  The Rodeo Drive Street Bag offers the user 3 different ways to carry it.  It can be carried as a conventional diaper bag with adjusting strap, it can be carried as a stylish backpack, or you have the option to put it on your stroller, and it stays there without dragging on the ground.  The Diaper Bag also comes with a matching changing pad, and it is washable. I carried it for a week with my son, and it has plenty of room for the juice cups, snacks, diapers, extra clothes, etc.  It even has pouches on the front so you can put your cell phone/purse 'stuff' so you don't have to carry 2 different bags.  

Style & Specifications

The Rodeo Drive Street bag comes in 3 different styles (a diaper bag, a travel bag, and a work bag) and 3 different color schemes.  The size of the Rodeo Drive Go Bebe bag that I received is 12.5"L x 4"W x 15"H.  The other sizes and specifications can be found at:

 Amy Michelle Street Bags Specifications

Summary

This is a quality bag, whether you need it for baby, travel, or work.  I don't think I will ever have to buy another bag.  I will however, purchase some for others.  This is the type of product that needs to be talked about, it's really innovative for the working/stylish mother.  I highly recommend Amy Michelle bags with the highest of my ratings. Amy Michelle offers a Gift Registry Option on their website, allowing for all baby shower gifts!

..::Product Review::.. CoverGirl Lash Blast Length Mascara

I've recently been looking for a new mascara, as mine have past the 6 month expiration date.  I received CoverGirl Lash Blast Length Mascara in the mail to review, and let me tell you, I LOVE IT!

This is me, without any mascara.  (UGH!)

Packaging
The packaging is probably one of my favorite parts of this mascara.  It is BRIGHT yellow, so it is so easy to find in my makeup bag.  Usually I spend quite a few extra minutes trying to locate my mascara, but not anymore.  I can just look inside my bag and when I see yellow, I'm set to go!  Also, when you buy the mascara in stores, it comes sealed and brush separately, so it does not dry out.

Ease of Use
CoverGirl Lash Blast Length Mascara is super easy to use.  The brush is amazing, as it allows you to put it on smoothly, minus the clumps.  Probably one of the easiest, and fastest I've ever put on mascara!

After LookAll I can say is, "WOW!"  

  

After I applied the mascara.

Value
If you buy this mascara in stores (most stores carry it!), you will pay about $7.00 on average.  It is really worth it.  I've used many 'expensive' mascaras that I paid over $40.00 for, and CoverGirl Lash Blast Length is probably my favorite overall.  It is really, honestly worth the price.

Summary
Overall, I'd definitely buy Cover Girl Lash Blast Length Mascara again.  I love it, it's super easy to use, lasts a long time, and washes off easily at the end of the day.  You can do so much with it, from the casual work look - all the way- to the dressier evening look.
