Monogrammed Key Ring Holder

I’ve been loving all things monogrammed. So my newest projects incorporate our monogram. It’s a classic way to customize your home.

We moved into our new apartment a week ago. I’ve been unpacking for the most part, and trying to get everything organized. Here are two projects I’ve completed, for our new home.

I love this key ring holder and think it’s going to look great that the door, above a table I have yet to complete. I’ll be sure to show you the complete look once it’s done!

I showed you these pillows that I did a couple weeks ago, and finally got around to putting the finishing touches on them. I love the monogrammed pillow!

This is what you you see as soon as you walk in. I like it, but feel like it looks a little sparse. I think it needs something more. What would you add? I plan on painting soon, but wanted this up to see how I like it.

I hope you are having a great week! I’m linking up to the link parties listed at the bottom of my page!

Fekkai Hair Product Review!

I have another review for you guys, and this time it's hair care. Fekkai is a great salon style brand, that's has made there products available in drugstores. Like all my reviews I try the products for a couple weeks before giving my opinion. Not only did I use it on myself but I've been using it on my Baby B. I'm bi-racial and have coarse hair, so I tend to use hair care products for African American hair. I also don't wash my everyday, just because my hair takes a long time to blow out and my hair will get too dry from washing too often. The Glossing Shampoo and Conditioner left my hair so soft and easy to comb through. I comb my hair out in the shower first, and I could have done this with the shampoo alone. I received a sample size Glossing Cream that I applied to my hair before blow drying. I was so happy with how shiny and healthy my hair looked after blow drying and straighting. The Glossing Cream was voted Best of Sephora 2008 and there are a ton of great reviews online. So many different hair types can use the Fekkai hair care line, there's something for everyone. The only con that I have is my hair did feel a little bit more dry then usual. The price point is about $10 for Glossing Cream and $12 for the Glossing Shampoo and Conditioner. They have products for all hair types, as well as color treated hair. I told you that I also used the shampoo and conditioner on Baby B, I saw the best results on his hair. Since using the products, his hair has began to grow longer. It made is hair soft and gave it a healthy shine. I was so excited when I saw his hair starting to grow. I normally would just wash his hair with the Johnson Bedtime Bath. His hair would grow a little bit, but  his hair was still thin an had some bald spot. Now his hair looks thicker and his bald spots are filling in. Say BYE BYE to my bald baby! The only con for him was, if I got the shampoo in your eyes it can burned. It broke my heart the first time he cried because the soap got in his eyes. I can't wait to try the hair mask, which is a deep conditioning treatment. I recommend  trying a hair mask ladies, you will love the way your hair feels. All together I'm very satisfied with the Fekkai brand. You shouldn't have to go out of your way to get your beauty needs, now that Fekkai is available at most drugstores and supermarkets, it's makes life a little easier. Fekkai is a great brand, that's reasonably price and easily accessible.





I received these products to review. All opinions are my own.I haven't been asked to say anything. I stand  behind this product because I believe it's a good brand!

Toygaroo: Play, Learn, Laugh, Then Send It Back! *Review*

I want to share my thought on a website that I recently started to use. The site is called Toygaroo, and it's says it's the Netflix for toys.  Basically subscribers sign up and pay a monthly fee to rent toys. The CEO Nikki Pope was on a show called "Shark Tank" where she sold 30% of the business for $200,000 to investors. It's a small business that I can see becoming very large. Now that you have the back story, now my review!

 When I heard about this, I thought it would be a great way to try out a number of different toys without the risk of collecting dust. I've found that sometimes the new toy can be great in the store, and once it's home baby B could care less about it.  I signed up to receive 6 toys per month, paying $32.99 each month. The one thing that I didn't like is, they have plans where you can get toys every other month, but have to pay monthly. I feel like you shouldn't have to pay for the months you don't receive toys. Anyway, you pick 12 toys to have in your "pouch" and those are the ones that will get sent. I tried to pick higher priced items, just because I want to make sure I get  my monies worth. I received Explore and Grow Busy Ball Popper, Sweet Baby Blocks, Laugh & Learn Learning Workbench, Color Kaleidoscope, Rhyme and Discover Book, Bop and Rock Musical Lion
 They all came shipped in one large box, and each toy was wrapped in plastic warp with a "Yuck free" sticker. What the sticker means is all the toys have been cleaned and sanitized using a 3 step process. The company seems to take cleanliness very seriously, and I'm all about that! Inside the box there also was the return shipping sticker and a paper about what to do. You have to keep the box because you'll need this to send the toys back. All the toys were in "Like New" condition. I was very pleased to see this. That was one of the things I was most worried about. I'm all about 2nd hand toys, but I want them to be in good condition. I planned on doing the 14 day free trial, but once the toys got here, I was more then happy to keep my subscription. I look forward to next months shipment. I also want to mention that Toygaroo has tons of toys to choose from from categories such as activity tables, award winners, crib toys, move 'n go, electronics, learning toys, and much more. There's never any late fees, you can keep the toys as long as you'd like.

So far I've been really happy, and I would recomend this site to you all to try. They offer a risk free trial, so if it's not for you get your money back. It's just life that kids lose interest in toys quickly, but with toy rentals you don't have to waste all that money.
