Don'y worry, I'm here!
I know some of you have noticed that I haven't been here in almost 2 weeks. I just took a little break from the blog. Went to Texas to visit family. We also went to Sea World, had a GREAT time! Sea World is my once yearly thing since the have the Hero Salute where military get in free once a year. Hubby just got home yesterday! Yay! This is really the first time he's going to be home this year for any length of time!
So, as you can see, I've been really busy, and didn't want to add my blog to my list! I'm still going to be busy for the next week. The hubby is on stand down so he'll be home. I'll be blogging here and there, but only when I have time.
As for my giveaways that ended while I was gone, all entries that were submitted while I was gone are going to be counted. Right now I have 363 comments to moderate. All giveaways (except Brittanys) are now closed. As soon as I moderate the comments, I will be picking winners, so stay tuned!

Etsy Shop: Brittany Chavers Studio Review & Giveaway
I am SO glad I found Brittany Chavers Studio on Etsy! She has the most beautiful, most unique jewelry! I am so glad she picked something out for me to review, because I would have been there all day trying to decide!
Brittany sells b unique earrings, simple necklaces, b luxe necklaces, and rings, just to name a few! Anybody browsing through her shop is almost guaranteed to find something that fits their style!
I receive a beautiful Asymmetrical Vintage Pearl Rose Necklace! It reminds me of something you'd see a star wearing on TV. Maybe on the red carpet! Ten precious pink pearls lead up to a filigree with a pearlized vintage rose cabochon! This totally fits the definition on 'girly'!
Necklace measures 18” long with a toggle clasp and antique brass chain. Brittany can also add length to it for no extra charge! I absolutely adore this necklace! I had to hide it from both my sister and my boys! Yes, my boys are with only me too much, they like pretty things! lol
Here is my interview with Brittany:
ME: Where are you from and a little about yourself?
Brittany: I've lived in Ohio all of my life in a little town called Twinsburg. I currently live in Northfield, Ohio about twenty minutes south of Cleveland. I attended Hocking College in Nelsonville, Ohio and received my Associates of Individualized Study in Social Sciences and Art.
ME: When did you start making the items in your shop?
Brittany: I started making jewelry when I was much younger but stopped until 2009. When I needed a necklace for graduation from college, I wasn't very happy with the selection the stores in the area offered. (Nelsonville consists of one major Highway and a lot of national parks! The largest store around was a Kroger the size of a postage stamp!) After I FINALLY found a suitable necklace at Target, which was 45 miles away, I decided I should try to make my own jewelry so I would never be in the same situation again! Thus, Brittany Chavers Studio was born.
ME: How did you decide the name for your shop?
Brittany: Originally, I opened my shop for my photography. I wanted my photography to be sold under my real name, but I still haven't gotten around to listing any of it! I decided to have the shop for my jewelry instead. I added Studio to Brittany Chavers and I think it has a nice ring to it!
ME: What is your favorite thing about owning your shop and being a seller?
Brittany: I love the creative freedom of being an Etsy seller! It is so much fun to play around with a new idea, develop it and create something new with it. The fact that my awesome customers want to wear my jewelry is just an added bonus!!
ME: What inspires you to create such beautiful pieces?
Brittany: As you can tell from my shop, I love flowers! Well... maybe not real flowers- they attract too many bees! But I love floral designs and try to bring nature into my pieces. New and inventive products also go a long way in the inspiration process. Color inspires me as well; I love bright colors and I'm not afraid to use them!
ME: What is your favorite item in your shop and why?
Brittany: I think my favorite item changes every day! As of today, my favorite item is the Asymmetrical Turquoise Leather Rosette Necklace.. say that three times fast! I love the mix of textures and colors this necklace offers. The soft leather paired with the bold turquoise and delicate, porcelain beads just floats my boat!
Brittany: I am always creating new pieces for the shop! As you can see, I am OBSESSED with asymmetrical necklaces! I have many more in various stages of completion waiting to enter the shop.
ME: Anything else you would like to let us know?
Brittany: I love making custom pieces! if you have something specific in mind or if you see something in the shop that you like, but want different colors, just let me know! I am very convo friendly and I love working to make ideas reality!
Also, I am planning to expand into other areas... eventually :) I love photography, ceramics and scrapbooking and I can't wait to offer creations in those areas as well!

Guy and Eva Review & Giveaway
I am so happy to bring to you today, Guy and Eva! Guy and Eva have a wonderful selection of beautiful jewelry! I love putting on nice jewelry! Even if it's inexpensive, nice jewelry will always make a girl feel that much more beautiful!
Guy and Eva makes that very easy! They have nice quality jewelry and an affordable price. That's hard to find these days. Most people want to charge you an arm and a leg just to get a decent looking piece of jewery!
Guy and Eva started its life as a retail brand with their collection being sold in boutiques and various fashion specialty stores. The name Guy and Eva quickly became synonymous with high quality jewelry and affordable prices, which resulted in numerous fashion magazine features and celebrity spottings!
Becoming Guy and Eva Advisor not only gives you extra income, but it also gives you the chance to start a new career! Of all the jewelry party companies, Guy and Eva offers some of the most unique career paths in the industry. You also have the flexibility to choose from three different ways to build a successful Guy and Eva career.
You can also chose to host jewelry parties with Guy and Eva! Hosting a party can bring you some nice Hostess Rewards! Including free jewelry credit, half off jewelry and booking credits!
I was sent the Solange necklace to review from the 2010 Sring/Summer Catalog!
When I opened the box, I first noticed the little bag that it came in. I loved how tiny it was and loved that it said Guy and Eva on it! Now, when I'm not wearing it, I can put it back in the bag, and always know where it's at and where it came from!
Once I pulled the necklace out of the bag, I was thrilled with the choice I had made to pick that specific one. It fits my taste very well! It's very simple, yet very girly. The little stones on it are baby blue which can go with so much of what I own! The chain is also a great length.
Overall, I am very happy with Guy and Eva and would recommend them to anybody!
WIN IT
Guy and Eva are kindly offering to give one (1) of my readers the chance to win the same Solange necklace that I received!

USCG - A Day at the Maritime Law Enforcement Academy & Giveaway
As you all know, my husband is in the United States Coast Guard! He proudly serves and protects our country! I am a SUPER proud Coastie wife! A lot of people don't know much about the Coast Guard. Before I married my husband, I didn't know much about it either. The Coast Guard does everything from Search and Rescue, catch drug runners, catch immigrants, and board boats and make sure they are doing what they are supposed to.
Law Enforcement (LE) is a HUGE part of the Coast Guard. When the Coast Guard boards boats, they have to be prepared for anything and everything they might encounter! They do carry guns and are trained to use them when needed. They know how to take people down and protect themselves against attackers.
Located in Charleston South Carolina is the USCG Maritime Law Enforcement Academy. Here is a little about the academy:
I was recently in touch with Jason who works with the Coast Guard. He visited the USCG MLE and shot some really cool footage during his visit! Here is one of the videos he shot. It will give you a little insight into what he USCG MLE is all about!
There is also a channel set up on Daily Motion. Go HERE and check out more videos and lots of interesting information!
Also, you can visit GoCoastGuard.com to learn more about the CG and the CG Reserve!
I think it is important for the US people to be more informed about the Coast Guard and what they do! There are so many times, the Coast Guard gets forgotten about. People focus more on the Army, Navy, Marines, and Air Force. Which I understand, they are in the news more. Please know that the CG does their part too! Don't think that the CG isn't overseas helping, because they are! They protect our country and our boarders! Please thank a Coastie any chance you get. And sleep well tonight knowing that my husband is out to sea protecting right now, protecting YOU!
WIN IT

Law Enforcement (LE) is a HUGE part of the Coast Guard. When the Coast Guard boards boats, they have to be prepared for anything and everything they might encounter! They do carry guns and are trained to use them when needed. They know how to take people down and protect themselves against attackers.
Located in Charleston South Carolina is the USCG Maritime Law Enforcement Academy. Here is a little about the academy:The U.S. Coast Guard Maritime Law Enforcement Academy was established in November, 2004 at the Federal Law Enforcement Training Center in Charleston, SC to prepare Coast Guard personnel to perform as Maritime Law Enforcement Officers. In addition, we enhance the Maritime Law Enforcement skills of students from our fellow federal, state and local agencies, as well as the international community. We accomplish this through the delivery of high quality training that provides the knowledge and skills necessary for graduates to perform in a Safe, Legal and Professional manner. We also develop, maintain and make readily available up-to-date training material that supports the standardization and professionalism of the Coast Guard’s entire Maritime Law Enforcement Training system. Click HERE to visit the CG website and learn more about the USCG MLE.
I was recently in touch with Jason who works with the Coast Guard. He visited the USCG MLE and shot some really cool footage during his visit! Here is one of the videos he shot. It will give you a little insight into what he USCG MLE is all about!
There is also a channel set up on Daily Motion. Go HERE and check out more videos and lots of interesting information!
Also, you can visit GoCoastGuard.com to learn more about the CG and the CG Reserve!
I think it is important for the US people to be more informed about the Coast Guard and what they do! There are so many times, the Coast Guard gets forgotten about. People focus more on the Army, Navy, Marines, and Air Force. Which I understand, they are in the news more. Please know that the CG does their part too! Don't think that the CG isn't overseas helping, because they are! They protect our country and our boarders! Please thank a Coastie any chance you get. And sleep well tonight knowing that my husband is out to sea protecting right now, protecting YOU!

Overall Beauty Review & Giveaway
Ah yes, another mineral makeup that I REALLY love! :) This time, I am introducing you guys to Overall Beauty.com!
Overall Beauty offers quality beauty products at prices we all can afford! There are so many catagories on their site, it would take me all day to put them all on this post! They offer everything you can imagine to give your body, head to toe, the love it deserves! They even offer cute things for you kiddos!
I recieved 6 mineral eyeshadows, an eyeshadow brush, and a makeup bag to review. Here are the colors:
I absolutly LOVE the colors! They are so vibrant and they stand out more than anything else I own! All of them shimmer, which I love. I tend to lean toward the shimmery eyeshadows. Making your eyes 'pop', I think, is the best thing you can do. And, with these eyeshadows, it will definetly make your eyes 'pop'!
The eyeshadows go on beautifully! And with the brush she sent me, it makes it go on that much easier! I also love that they come in jars. I've come to find that I like the jars a lot better than the solids. My favorite colors were the Ion and the Pink Magic. The Ion was really blod! I love to use blue on the outside corners of my eyes. Since I have blue eyes, it makes them stand out. And the Pink Magic was also metalic or something. It seemed to give off 2 colors when you put it on.
The makeup bag I recieved was specially made for me by Little Worm! It is soooo cute! It's got my favorite, partiotic theme! Plus, it has glitter in the fabric! BLING! :) She makes lots of goodies including, pot holders, purses and bags, and table runners. Please go check out her shop when you get the chance!
I am so pleased with Overall Beauty! There is so much that is available on the site! Click HERE to learn more about Overall Beauty!
Are you feeling like you want to look around and make an order!? Click HERE and get started now! You won't be disappointed!
WIN IT
One of my lucky winner is going to win the same thing I recieved to review! 6 eyeshadows (winners choice of colors), an eyeshadow brush, and a makeup bag! The makeup bag wont look like mine. It will be a suprise just for you! :)
