Headline Shirts Review and Giveaway!

 Do you like funny, clever and just plain fun shirts? Me too! Headline Shirts are right up my alley. I had trouble picking out just one for review. In the end I was stuck between two, I kid you not I was on the website going back and forth between the two for over an hour! Indecisive much? I finally decided on the Marie Antoinette  VIVA LA CAKE shirt. I've actually been fascinated by the life of Marie Antoinette and am well aware that while most people know the quote "Let them eat cake"  they have no idea that she actually never said it. She was a victim of the tabloids of her time. That ultimately lead to her downfall in the opinion of her subjects and eventually her death. That's why I chose this shirt, a woman famous for a quote she didn't utter and her decadence. A decadence that was actually encouraged in the French Court to show position over other women of court. Whether you believe she was frivolous and decadent or not she is undeniably a pop culture figure. In the words of Headline Shirts: "In conclusion, don't viva la revolucion. Viva la cake!" While I find Headline Shirts to be funny and clever most of them are actually thought provoking. I found with my Marie Antoinette shirt it sparked a great conversation.

 Alright enough history, let's get into the quality of Headline Shirts. I love mine, it's super soft and I love the cut. The women's shirts are actually cut for women not just an unflattering square cut shirt. I also really enjoyed all the clever quips I found in the shirts label. Made for a good chuckle when I went to wash it.
 Headline Shirts is an Eco-Friendly company using Eco-Friendly Discharge Ink and shipped in a 100% biodegradable package. You can purchase your own Headline Shirts here and they're currently on sale for only $14! My only complaint....I want more shirts! Keep up the great work Headline Shirts. If you sign up for their newsletter you get $5 off!! So what are you waiting for? Head over and get yours now, "keep the local baboons employed." LOL.
Want to win one? Well it's your lucky day. Enter Below!

eos New Holiday Lip Balm Collection Review #Holiday Gift Guide

 eos or Evolution of Smooth has been a staple in my shower for a while now. I love their shaving cream. My favorites being Lavender Jasmine, and Vanilla Bliss. They smell amazing are free of Phthalate's and Paraben's and enriched with Shea Butter, Vitamin E, Natural Aloe and Oats. Not to mention very inexpensive, I find them to be priced lower then more mainstream shave creams. eos not only makes shave creams, but they also make hand lotions, body lotions, & lip balms.  I have seen the other eos products in ads and all over Youtube but I can never find them at any of the local stores I shop in. Turns out all I had to do was head over to eos' website where I can find exactly what stores carry eos and what products they have in stock! Yeah, so I was shopping at the wrong stores. Well I wish I had done that months ago, I would have already been enjoying the Lip Balm Spheres.

 I've finally gotten to try the Lip Balm Sphere's and I have not been disappointed. I got to try the New eos Holiday Lip Balm Collection which includes, Strawberry Sorbet, Sweet Mint and Limited Edition Passion Fruit. These little egg shaped lip balms have kept my lips super moisturized and actually improved the softness of my lips, not to mention they smell and taste great. These lip balms are 100% natural and 95% organic. Here's what eos says about their lip balms:

  • Long-lasting moisture
  • Shea butter & vitamin E
  • Smoothes on clear
  • New smooth sphere precisely glides on to lips
  • Twist-off top
  • Gluten-free
  • Paraben-free
  • Petrolatum-free
  • Phthalate-free
eos lip balm is 95% organic, 100% natural, and paraben and petrolatum free. Packed with antioxidant-rich vitamin E, soothing shea butter and jojoba oil, eos keeps your lips moist, soft and sensationally smooth.

 The eos Holiday Lip Balm Collection would make a great gift for a co-worker, teacher, in a gift basket or as a stocking stuffer. I personally love these as a stocking stuffer, and would also include these in a gift basket with other eos products.The eos Holiday Lip Balm Collection retails for $8.99. You can find eos in most mass retailers and drugstores. Head to Evolutionofsmooth.com to find out exactly what stores in your area carry eos.

Goody Double Wear Review

   I have a long history with Goody hair ties. I have worn one on my wrist single day since I was 12, maybe 11...Let's say the sixth grade. It's always been about the convenience of having one right there when I needed it. So for about 15 yrs I have had a Goody hair tie on my wrist and never thought twice about it. I mean there was a hair tie in my hair or around my wrist during most of the biggest moments of my life. One was there when I graduated, and even when I gave birth to my son. It just became a habit, that was just apart of my everyday. I only take them off when I shower, even then I have been known to forget. I never thought about it until recently when I started making Youtube videos. I'd notice it when I was editing my video's and think "next time I have to remember to take it off. It looks terrible." Needless to say I still forget. Well, it seems Goody and I are on the same page. I was flipping through Cosmo and there it was. An ad for Goody's new Double Wear hair ties. Cute hair ties that look more like bracelets then hair ties. (cue the singing Angels) LOL.

  So you know I had to contact Goody about these great new hair ties, "Ponytailers" as Goody calls them. They agreed to send me some samples and some for you too(more on that later). You get 3 ponytailers for $5.99 They are so cute and come in 3 different designs. You can also buy them in silver or gold. When I first saw them I was reminded of the old ponytailers with the metal, you know before they became "ouchless" and the pain of having my hair ripped out. I'm happy to report that after several days I have not had one hair pulled from the Double Wear ponytailers. Not only do they look cute on my wrist but in my hair as well. I've also since spotted Goody Headwraps that double as Necklaces. Score! Thank you Goody for reading my mind and knowing that I was in need of something better looking and more on the sophisticated side.

 You can find Goody's new Double Wear ponytailers at most major retailers. You can also find them in a flash giveaway on my Facebook or Twitter. So be on the look out! These make great stocking stuffer's too.
*I was provided Samples of Goody's Double Wear Ponytailers free for review purposes. I was not paid for this review. All opinions are 100% my own and honest.*
