R. J. Luna Dream Dreamwear Review

Last week I was watching the Emmy Awards. The best part of watching any award show is seeing all the gorgeous gowns. I always thought that it must be amazing to own a one of a kind original that was tailored just for you.  A dress like that seemed like an fantasy that would never fit into the budget of a stay at home mom with four children. But then I discovered R. J. Luna, and I learned that anyone can afford a beautiful one a kind dress!

R. J. Luna was kind enough to design me an  piece from their Dream Wear collection.  I thought this was a fitting name for the line since owning a original design is like having a dream come true. The dress I received is from the Cecielia line. I love the color scheme and the retro look of the fabric they choose for me. The empire waist has a slimming effect, while the v-neck gives you that sexy edge. The dress is casual enough for Sunday brunch, but also nice enough for dinner dates. I was amazed at how comfortable it is. The Dream Wear name could imply that you can wear it while you're sleeping because its as soft as cozy as a nightgown. But you would never guess that my looking at it.  I couldn't be happier with my R. J.  Luna original and I love that they provide this unique service at prices that are affordable for the average woman.

R. J. Luna can create a custom gown for any woman of any shape or size. They design their pieces with the knowledge that we are all beautiful and unique, and their designs bring out and enhance those natural attributes. Chose from a casual dress like the one I received or have them create a elegant, formal gown fit for the red carpet. If you would like to purchase a R. J. Luna original, they are available exclusively at My Song Boutique. But stay tuned because soon you will be able to order online on their website. To keep up with future styles and promotions, be sure to follow them on face book. If you want to feel like a star, start shopping with R. J. Luna today.

Bodywear Boutique Review & Giveaway

I'm a really big fan of Yoga.  Its my favorite form of exercise because it leaves both my mind and spirit feeling invigorated. After months of being on bed rest and having a new baby, I am looking forward to finding some time to get back into the swing of things. Comfortable clothes are one of the most important things to remember when you're doing yoga, or really any kind of exercise. And guess what? Being comfortable and being stylish in your yoga attire is a possibility. Especially if you shop at  Bodywear Boutique. They have a full line of comfortable, breathable yoga wear that are not only cozy, but fashionable as well. I love them so much, I could wear them every day.

For my review, I was sent the Fila Long Length Sueded Supplex Active Pant. They are so comfortable, and easy to move around in. I had no trouble getting into my Yoga positions. The  waist is loose and doesn't cut off your circulation, but still helps to hide that little bit of extra baby weight I am carrying around. The full length pants are perfect for the fall, but they are not too long. They  make it easy to get into difficult positions without tripping over the hems.  The material is super soft and the color didn't fade in the washer.

To complete my yoga set, I also received the Hard tail Freestyle Tank in Black Dye. Being a hippy at heart, I can't resist a little tye dye. Unlike most of the tank tops I have bought it flares out a little around the waist, so its not too tight. Again, this helps to hide the "mommy muff". But it also makes it easier to exercise when your clothes are a little looser. The tank top also includes a built it bra that offers plenty of bust support.  Together, the two pieces look fabulous and made for a great work out experience.

In addition to the items I reviewed, Bodywear Boutique also offers tank tops, cardigans, capris, shorts, hoodies and more in tons of colors and designs. They even have yoga attire for men. All of their clothing  is  stylish, fun, and comfortable. Be sure to check out their sale section for savings on already low prices. To keep up with future promotions, follow them on twitter or become their fan on face book.  For the best in style, comfort, and  simplicity, check out Bodywear Boutique for all your yoga wear needs!

One very lucky winner is going to receive a $50 GC to Bodywear Boutique!   To enter, just complete the Rafflecopter form below. The winner will be notified via email and will have 48 hours to reply. Thanks again to Bodywear Boutique for offering this great prize.

A Candy Store Review & Giveaway

 Halloween is only a few weeks away, but with a house full of people, the candy my kids collect goes pretty quickly. It seems to disappear faster each year.  Buying the little bags at the grocery store only lasts for about a day or two and it never makes it to Halloween night for me to hand out. For anyone with a large family, its always a good idea to buy in bulk. And a great place to buy candy in bulk is A Candy Store.   There you can find gummies, lollipops, mints, chocolate and more at prices well below retail.

For our review, we were given a $50 credit. Choosing something was tough with so many wonderful options. I was surprised at how easy it was to navigate the site. You can search by candy type, occasion, and even color. We finally decided on a case of Pretzel M & Ms and Take 5 chocolate bars.  They arrived just a few days later, well packaged and very fresh. Both of these varieties are hard to find in my area, so I was excited to get a case of each of them, especially at such a great price. This amount of candy will last awhile even in my household. And full size bars to hand out will make the neighborhood kids happy this Halloween.

In addition to Halloween treats and every day snacking, there are plenty of other occasions that A Candy Store can help to make memorable. Their candy would make wonderful party favors for your kid's birthday parties or you can make little gift bags for holiday parties at school. They even have some unique selections for bridal, baby showers, and wedding candy.  They always offer shipping for the low flat rate of $9.95, so it easy and convenient to stay stocked up all year long.

In honor of Halloween, A Candy Store is going to give one of my readers a box of Take 5 Candy bars and Pretzel M & Ms just like the ones I reviewed.  To enter, you must sign up for the A Candy Store newsletter.
