Claudia Gill Designs Sterling Silver & Swarovski Crystal Earrings & $50 Gift Card Giveaway ~ 4 Winners

Inspired by a love for beauty, clean lines and real women, Claudia Gill Designs was created with the simple concept that Jewelry can make or break an outfit. Claudia Gill believes that jewelry is a form of self expression. Claudia Gill Designs uses the finest materials in their jewelry! From Swarovski Crystals to Shell, to Leather, her eye catching pieces will inspire you to find and create a look that's totally you!

I love jewelry! It's so much fun! Does there really have to be rules when it comes to jewels! :) What I love about Claudia Gill Designs is she really does believe that jewelry is a form of expression! IT IS!

I usually wear stud earrings! Maybe I got used to wearing them because I'm a nurse. Maybe I was afraid heavy earrings would stretch the pierced earring opening. Heavy earrings are definitely uncomfortable for me. But I do see women with sexy dangle earrings and feel a pang of envy once in a while. No more!

I was Blessed to receive a pair of Rain Earrings for review! I LOVE THESE EARRINGS! Rain is the perfect name for these gems! They have movement, they swing, they glitter and shine. When the light catches them both the chain and silvery toned Swarovski Crystal seem to dance. Not only that, the crystals are not affixed on the chain. They slide freely on the chain creating a certain fluidity which is gorgeous.





Perfect for a night out! But ya know what? I'm gonna wear these with jeans and a tank top because these earrings make me happy!

Sterling Silver and Swarovski Crystal earrings. Length is Approx. 3 1/2 inches.
Price - $75.00

The Cancer Club ~ Breast Cancer Awareness Prize Package Giveaway

October is National Breast Cancer Awareness Month

All of us have read or heard stories about people who turn lemons into lemonade. It isn't often we get the privilege of meeting such an individual. Before her bout with breast cancer, Christine Clifford had reached the top! By the age of 37, she was Senior Vice President for the SPAR Group, an international retail services firm in New York. Diagnosed with breast cancer in 1994, Christine spent a year of surgery, aggressive chemotherapy, radiation, loss of her hair... and a change in priorities.

Four weeks after surgery, she awoke in the middle of the night with a vision... cartoons. Over 50 cancer-related cartoons started popping up in her head.

She realized that in all the support, gifts, calls and messages she'd received, no one ever brought her anything that made her laugh. In fact, she noticed that people were actually careful to avoid humorous conversation or topics around her.

Yet, she recognized that laughter provided a necessary release from the tension and even promoted recovery. So, she decided to do something about it.


TODAY...
Christine Clifford, CSP is the President of The Cancer Club®, the world's largest producer of humorous and helpful products for people with cancer. She's also written many best selling books.

I was Blessed to receive a few products from Christine and The Cancer Club® to review and I am thrilled to share them with you! Once again I tell you that back in 1976 my mom had a modified radical mastectomy. She fought a long hard battle and was victorious. I see my Breast Surgeon every six months and am ever vigilant regarding this disease.

One Move at a Time! (DVD)

Christine Clifford Beckwith, CSP demonstrates simple, gentle exercises for women recovering from breast cancer surgery that will improve your spirits and help you regain a positive body image.

Program includes American Cancer Society's 'Reach for Recovery' exercises along with outdoor activities to restore your range of motion and aid in the recovery of feeling in your arm.

Back in the day, my mom was sent home from the hospital with instructions to "crawl her fingers up the wall" so she would not lose the mobility in her left arm.

This will help any woman regain a positive body image and it's appropriate for any fitness level. Price - $19.95

Not Now...I'm Having a No Hair Day
by Christine Clifford
Illustrated by Jack Lindstrom
ISBN 1-57025-120-7
Inspired by the author's experience with breast cancer Not Now...I'm Having a No Hair Day! is the first book of its kind to offer hope to cancer victims, their families and friends through the healing power of humor.

In her straightforward style, 41-year-old, first-time author Christine Clifford Beckwith, CSP paints a realistic picture of what it's like discover cancer, undergo surgery, and endure radiation and chemotherapy treatments. But unlike most cancer patients, she manages to find humor in herself and her predicament. Throughout the book, her moments of fear, frustration, uncertainty, love and joy are captured by the gentle wit of illustrator Jack Lindstrom in 60 cartoons that reveal the vulnerability and strength of the human soul. Together, Clifford and Lindstrom show readers how the power of laughter and positive thinking go a long way toward promoting recovery and growth.

This is a must read book for everyone dealing with issues surrounding breast cancer. My own mom had breast cancer back in the 70's and this book brought me so much comfort just reading and reliving the experience. It's funny, inspirational and informative!
Price - $9.95


Breast Cancer Ornament
This is a beautiful gift for a Breast Cancer survivor or family member! The delicate glass ornament is sprinkled with glitter and has a pink breast cancer bow with tiny rosette inside. Festively topped with more pink ribbon because, hey it's National Breast Cancer Awareness Month! :) Place on your Christmas Tree or display all year long on your mantle like I will! Price - $8.00










Guardian Angel Pin
I love my many Breast Cancer Awareness Pins, but I never had one with a Guardian Angel! I love to pin one on a jacket and wear during the month of October for National Breast Cancer Awareness Month! This special Pink Ribbon enameled pin has a genuine pewter angel to watch over me! :)
Price - $9.95


Please stop by The Cancer Club and check out all the wonderful, informative and inspirational info! Be sure to visit the Cancer Club Store while you're there!

Thorlos Pink Ribbon Socks ~ Breast Cancer Awareness Review ~

October is National Breast Cancer Awareness Month

Pink Ribbon Socks for Walking

Introducing the world's best distance walking sock.

In 2007 Thorlos® national sponsorship of the Breast Cancer 3-Day benefiting Susan G. Komen for the Cure was a tremendous success. With your help, Thorlos® was able to provide over $300,000 for the cause through their sponsorship and the donations generated by various Thorlos® cause-related programs.

Throughout 2007 Thorlos learned about many other organizations that were also involved in the fight against breast cancer. In 2008, they decided to become the Unofficial Sponsor of all Good Causes. By helping more breast cancer funds, most of which employ event walks as the focal point for raising money, they were able to offer more foot care while raising more money to help breast cancer research, education and awareness. Over the past two years Thorlos has raised $54,210. They want to continue these efforts in 2010. With your help, they can be successful again this year. So far, in 2010, they have raised $9,432!

I was Blessed to receive two types of Thorlos socks for review!

Thorlos Distance Walking Socks
The Distance Walking sock was specifically designed for the extreme walking conditions faced by women walking long distances. It offers maximum protection from the damaging effects of the impact, shear and blistering when training for and walking the event itself.

Thorlos Distance Walking socks will probably change your shoe size. Have your shoes fitted wearing Distance Walking socks so that you can realize the full benefit of these socks. My Sweet Pea is a Cross Country Runner! These are perfect for her! They are a thick cushion and really protect her feet! I like the spandex at the ankle which keeps your shoes from eating your socks! They're cushioned in the ball, heel and instep where you need it most. Price - $13.99

$1 will be donated to cancer research, education and awareness from the sale of each pair of Distance Walking Thorlos.

Thorlos Everyday Walker Socks
The Everyday Walker was designed for Women like me who prefer a lighter weight product for fitness walking or just taking a stroll. Coolmax® construction wicks moisture to keep feet cool and comfortable. I love thinner socks! So these are mine! I'm gifting a pair to my older daughter who is my Breast Cancer Awareness Advocate Buddy! I love the pink ribbon on the ankles! These socks even keep my feet warm around the house when I don't want to wear slippers! Price - $13.99

$1 will be donated to cancer research, education and awareness from the sale of each pair of Everyday Walker Thorlos.


$1 Donated for Every Pair Sold! Upon receiving your Thorlos® products there will be a sticker on the front of each package which will have a specific code at the bottom. Go to www.thorlos.com/cause and follow the steps to designate your dollar to the breast cancer fund of your choice. How neat is that! I chose to donate to breastcancer.org :)

Veggie Patch ~ Veggie Bites & Chick'n Nuggets Prize Package {Giveaway} ~ 2 Winners

School is back in session and we're all looking for fast nutritious meals and after school snacks that are quick and easy! Who wants their kids racing through the door and grabbing junk when they can have a wonderful hot healthy snack that is..

• 100% Vegetarian
• Trans Fat Free
• MSG Free
• A good source of Fiber
• Low in Cholesterol
• An excellent source of Calcium
  

Sound too good to be true? It isn't! Trust me I know because I've been a huge fan of Veggie Patch™ products for a while and they have just the thing you're lookin' for in a snack kids will be sure to gobble up!

I was Blessed to receive a variety of Veggie Bites & Chick'n Nuggets for review! YUMMERLICIOUS!

Corn Bites

Lets face it kids love corn! These tender little bites kick it up a notch! Yummy, crunchy corn bites combined with real mozzarella cheese are totally irresistible. My whole family chowed down in these including My Little Guy! Of course they have no artificial flavors, colors or preservatives!

Broccoli Bites
My Little Guy eats almost anything! He even loves broccoli, well he loves the stems. I think the florets are a texture problem for him! :) When he tried Veggie Patch Broccoli Bites he loved 'em! Sweet Pea loves them too! These contain real Cheddar and can be heated in the microwave, conventional or toaster oven! All Veggie Patch Bites are delish as is, or with a 'dipping sauce.'


Spinach Bites

Because Hotty Patotty is a vegetarian, his pediatrician has asked us to increase the amount of spinach we feed him. I admit, spinach is NOT one of his favorite foods. Until now!


The whole family LOVES Veggie Patch Spinach Bites and these are so easy to prepare! The nutrients content in these is impressive as well. 6% Iron, 20%, 3 grams fiber and 6 grams of protein per serving!

Chick'n Nuggets
I would love to tell you Veggie Patch Chick'n Nuggets taste like the real thing, but it's been over 2o years since I've had chicken and I don't really remember what it tastes like! I can tell you these are yummo! However, Sweet Pea and Hubby say these are really close and delicious! What they often complain about with 'faux' meats is the texture! They love the texture of these! Kids will too! How 'bout these for an after school snack? 9 grams of protein per serving means kids are getting the nutrition they need not empty calories!


All Veggie Patch can be frozen or refrigerated! I like to keep a few boxes in the freezer! Then I can make a variety of Veggie Bites & Chick'n Nuggets whenever the urge strikes! The baby loves ketchup! Thank his mom for starting him on that! :) Sweet Pea loves BBQ Sauce! I love HOT SAUCE and Hubby loves 'em all!

So I set out a platter of bites and dips and well, it's meal! I add some green veggies and a salad too!
