Precious Moments is having an awesome sale for Valentine's Day! Get 20% off select Valentine's Day gifts & figurines with code BEMYVALENTINE! Offer is valid 2/9 - 2/12.

I received one figurine called the "I Love You To The Moon And Back" Figurine. Made of hand painted bisque porcelain, the "I Love You To The Moon And Back" Figurine shows a young couple sitting together with hands intertwined on a crescent moon in the clouds. They are accompanied by two sparkling stars that twinkle in the night. This romantic piece celebrates the eternal bond of true love. It is 6.75 inches high and can be personalized with with a loved one's name or initials. This is the perfect gift to give for Valentine's Day, Sweetest Day, an Anniversary, or other romantic occasion.

I love the details and name of this figurine! The stars really glitter and the moon shines with a pretty scrolling pattern on the front. The back of this figurine is even three-dimensional and painted as well so you can display it in the middle of a table. It will look great from all angles. The saying "I Love You To The Moon And Back" is very dear to me. I have read the book Guess How Much I Love You by Sam McBratney over and over to my children where we hear these words as well. I love this tribute to this phrase and its meaningful words. This figurine speaks to my heart.

KEYSOCKS: Knee High No-Show Socks That Never Slip Review

KEYSOCKS are knee high no-show socks that never slip, and keep feet blister free and legs comfortably warm. These are great for any shoe, anytime! No more battling with tights, pantyhose, stockings, footies and no-show socks that slip! These are perfect for Valentine's to wear or give as a gift!

Features:

• Knee high.
• No show from the front. Stays hidden from view when worn with full-length pants or jeans.
• Comes in Winter Warm, Classic, Barely There, and Coming Soon: Weekend Styles.
• Winter Warm is available in both One Size Fits Most (calf size less than 17 inches in circumference) and Wide, all others are One Size Fits Most only.
• Best for women's shoe sizes 6 - 11.
• Perfect for wearing with heels, flats, Toms or Vans.

• CoolMax technology treated with UltraFresh maximizes moisture wicking to promote dry, odorless feet.
• Hand wash separately in warm water. Line dry. Do not: dry clean, bleach, tumble dry, or iron.  

My Thoughts:
I think it is a pain to put on tights, pantyhose, and stockings. I also do not like them also because they run easily as well. I hate wearing footies or heel socks because they always rub or make my heel blister and raw. Keysocks were the answer to these problems.

I had never seen Keysocks until I was asked to review them. I received a blue pair in girls size, a one size black pair in original fabric (Winter Warm) for fall and winter months, and a one size nude pair in light fabric (Classic) for spring and summer months. The blue pair in a girls size fit my oldest daughter who is 8, but Keysocks don't seem to have that size available on their website anymore. I wish these came in more sizes all the time. My daughters would love more Keysocks in a variety of colors and designs in girls sizes.

Teela wearing the girls size Keysocks.

I love that they come in the basic black and nude colors, but would love more colors and designs available. I think if they had these in more variety then they would look super cute with shorter dresses, skirts, and capris too! Hopefully when they come out with the Weekend styles they will have more of a variety in that area. I did see a possibility of a striped version on their site coming soon which would be awesome. 

Keysocks are so ingenious! They are easy to put on, comfortable to wear, and keep my toes warm. I think they are especially great with long pants, leggings, or jeans, but also wonderful with long skirts and dresses. These let my feet breath and everyone thinks I am wearing only shoes on my feet when worn with long pants or jeans. I love them with my flats and heels!

I love Keysocks! They would be perfect for a unique Valentine's Day Gift or a night out with your sweetheart!

Go Gourmet Slammers Snacks Review and Fun Valentine Printable

With Valentine's Day around the corner, finding healthy treats that won't give kids cavities or bellyaches can be hard. When walking down the Valentine's aisle you will see that stores have stocked the shelves with sweets, chocolate, and candy that are filled with sugar. With diabetes and obesity on the rise among kids, why not offer them a healthier, but fun option for Valentine's this year?

Slammers Snacks are tasty, superfood snacks designed to fuel kids with organic fruits and vegetables such as mangoes, acai berries, beets, sweet potato, carrots, and yumberries. Some even have ancient grains for added nutrition like: chia, quinoa, and amaranth. Not only are they a healthy alternative to sugar-laden candies and convenience store snacks, Slammers are, mess-free, easily digestible, and serve as a great source of essential vitamins. Three new Superfood Smoothie flavors: Creamy Banana Chocolate, Pomegranate Grape Crush, and Watermelon Kiwi Burst come packed with seven grams of protein. Creamy Banana Chocolate is their newest and has the least amount of sugar!

Our Thoughts:
We absolutely love Slammers Snacks! They are so delicious and good for you. We received two cases total with a selection of all the flavors to try. We love them all! I love that they are organic too. My favorite is the New Watermelon Kiwi Burst flavor with added protein. These are in a convenient pouch that lets them easily travel with you for snacks on-the-go.

Slammers Snacks can be given as valentines or placed in lunches with cute lunch notes. I have made some printable Valentine's/Lunch Notes with some Slammer Snacks graphics for you to wrap around your Slammers Snacks when sending them with your kids' lunches or as a special Valentine's Day snack. Click the above graphic to go to the PDF and save it on your computer to print out. Cut around the whole rectangle for each wrap, wrap around the Slammers Snacks, and tape remaining edge to secure it around the superfood smoothie pouches.

Trudeau Valentine's Day Review and Tips For a Perfect Breakfast In Bed

Heart shaped chocolates made with Trudeau chocolate molds. Heart shaped egg and pancake made with Trudeau Egg Ring.

I received the Trudeau products free to facilitate this review. Affiliate links may be in this posting. Thanks for supporting my blog.

The best way to make Valentine's Day super special this year is making your loved one breakfast in bed. Your loved one will appreciate being catered to while being able to sleep in. Nothing is better than waking up to the smell of something yummy cooking in the kitchen! Go ahead, spoil your significant other rotten and don't overlook this treat!

Sometimes it is hard to get up early and keep it a surprise, though. I have some tips below that will help with making the breakfast in bed perfect. Making the breakfast with Trudeau's kitchen gadgets makes it more fun and even more extra special too because it is all in the little details that counts!

Tips to Make Breakfast in Bed Perfect:

• Timing is Important: Make sure your loved one doesn't have to eat and run. It is better to pick a time and day that they have plenty of time to leisurely enjoy breakfast in bed and savor the experience.
• Get a Bed Tray: Buy a tray with sides so that the food will stay contained and not spill onto the bed or floor. One that has folding legs is nice as well so that the food will be raised up off of the person's lap. It is easier to eat this way. You can also use a small laptop desk if you can't find a tray.
• Presentation is Everything: It is the little things that make it extra special for someone else. Get out the fine china and pretty silverware. Use flowers as decoration: a single flower on the tray, flower petals sprinkled around the plate, edible flowers (you could even get crystallized candied edible flowers or make your own) placed on the plate. Use cloth napkins: You can fold these into all kinds of fun romantic shapes and some come in pretty floral or heart patterns. Make a card with a nice note on it or menu of the food to go with the meal. Decorate with a pretty placemat, paper doilies and/or confetti. Use heart shaped containers like bowls, reusable cupcake liners, etc. Sometimes the food can be formed or cut out into romantic shapes too!
• Know What You Are Making For Breakfast: There are a lot of great choices out there and it does help to know your partner's favorites. Plan ahead and make sure you have all the ingredients, etc. before the big surprise. Don't forget the salt and pepper or cream and sugar, if needed.
• Prepare the Breakfast Like a Ninja: If you sleep in the same bed as your partner get up early and sneak away stealthily. If they wake have a good excuse to make sure they go back to sleep. Make the breakfast as quietly as possible so you don't wake your partner prematurely. Sometimes you can also chop or mix the ingredients the night before. If you don't want them spoiling the surprise you can also put a towel in the crack under the bedroom door so they won't smell the evidence. Also try to clean up any messes before they are served so you can spend time with them and not kill the mood by having a messy kitchen.
• Serve Drinks Only ¾ Full: Pouring beverages, especially the hot ones, ¾ of the way full will make sure they are not easily spilled when the tray is in transit.
• Make Them Comfortable: When bringing the tray of food to your love, set it aside so you can prepare their area. Puff up the pillows and add extra pillows so they can sit up comfortably in bed. Straighten out the covers so that the tray can be on a flat surface. Add a towel, folded table cloth, or small blanket under the tray when you place it to catch any crumbs.
• Get Them In The Mood: Play some nice music, give them a good book or the morning paper to read, watch a favorite show on TV, or just have a nice conversation while they eat.
• Clean Up After: After they are done with their breakfast pamper them by taking the tray and cleaning up. While doing the dishes run a luxurious bath for them to relax in. While they are enjoying that don't forget to make the bed too.

4-Inch Silicone Egg Ring, Red Heart:
This Heart Shaped Egg Ring is made of non-stick, heat resistant (up to 428°F-220°C), and and BPA free silicone and is top rack dishwasher safe. This also doesn't scratch your pans like the metal egg rings. It is wonderful for making 4-inch diameter heart shaped eggs (use large or extra large eggs) and pancakes! These work better to if you make sure the Trudeau logo is right side up because the lip on one side is thicker than the other and it is easily flipped around. The thicker edge on the bottom helps with keeping the egg and pancake inside the ring. Also, since it is 4-inches it is slightly too big for a piece of bread or English muffin. The adjustable, metal bar grip handle is great so that you can lift the ring up without burnt fingers after one side is done to be able to flip the egg or pancake over. It also swings around so that you can place it flat in a drawer. 5 year warranty. - MSRP $5.99

Set of 3 Chocolate Silicone Molds, Heart Shaped:
These chocolate heart molds have 15 cavities each and come in a set of 3 in different colors. They are made from flexible, heat resistant  (up to 428°F-220°C), and BPA free European grade silicone that is easy to clean and are top rack dishwasher safe. These effortlessly release the chocolate from each heart shaped cavity. Great for making chocolates, ice hearts, gelatin/homemade fruit snacks/gummies, candies, small candle/wax crayon melts, soap samples, etc. I used my double broiler pot to melt the dark chocolate melts and butterscotch chips. I had fun experimenting and swirled the two in some, layered them in others, and put red hots in some of them too. My kids had fun helping as well. These are super easy to use. Approx mold size; 2.5cm/1" diameter each x 1.5cm/0.5" deep. – MSRP $11.99

Valentine's Day Ultimate Duri Polish Gift Set Review

Duri polish is a great gift for Valentine's Day!

I received the Valentine's Day Ultimate Duri Polish Gift Set free to facilitate this review.

Are you looking for something unique for Valentine's Day? Look no further than Duri Cosmetics this holiday season! All of their polishes are 3 Free Nail Polish, meaning they have no Dibutyl Phthalate (DBP), Toluene, and Formaldehyde in their products. They have 5 new colors of nail polish that they lovingly call the "I LOVE HUE! Valentine’s Day collection" to brighten up your Valentines and they are the perfect gift to give alongside the traditional box of chocolates and roses. They also have red and metallic embossed Valentine's Day Gift Boxes so that you can choose the perfect 4 colors out of their over 250 hues.

L-R: Everyday is a Valentine, Cupid Rules, Iced Roses, Unexpected Kiss, and Sweetheart

The 5 new colors in the I LOVE HUE! Valentine’s Day collection are EVERY DAY IS A VALENTINE - a pigment rich true red, CUPID RULES - a modern bubblegum pink, ICED ROSES - a pastel pink bouquet, UNEXPECTED KISS - an iridescent orchid pink with sheer blue undertones, and SWEETHEART - a bright red-orange shade. I received 4 out of the 5 new colors, missing CUPID RULES. My favorite shade out of the set is UNEXPECTED KISS! I love purpley-pinkish shades and this has a shimmer to it that I also adore!

My daughter, Zari, painted her nails in alternate ICED ROSES and UNEXPECTED KISS.

My girls love to paint their nails and host mani/pedi parties with their little friends. I shared the Duri polishes with them and I do not feel guilty in using them on their nails because they are non-toxic, safe, and environmentally friendly. They do, however; have a strong odor, so make sure the room you are in is ventilated while painting. Duri's goal is to make your nails healthy and beautiful, so paint on the love!

The Duri nail polish is long lasting and fast drying for a durable, shiny finish. I love that they go on smooth without any bubbling or pocking. I also love that they don't easily chip or peel off. The new colors are great eye-candy and will be the perfect thing to add a little romantic pizazz to your wardrobe for Valentine's Day or as a gift for a loved one!

I received a beautiful set of three Brazilian Good Fortune Stretch Agate Bracelets named 'Wonders' by their designers at Joias do Rio. These amazing bracelets are many shades of a gorgeous purple hue. Agates are apparently the ultimate gem of protection. They almost remind me of jelly belly beans. These beautiful bracelets are handcrafted with natural agate stones and enhanced in color. I love the color purple and these agates are a treat for the eye.

I also got to pick out a second gift. I chose a very unique vase that caught my eye called 'Galaxy'. It is a Nicaraguan Handmade Ceramic Bottle Shaped Decorative Vase made by artist, Duilio Torrez. This beautiful vase from Central America reminds me of a batik cloth or a very elaborate crayon etching. "The spiral contours of this vase represent our galaxy: stars, planets and the milky way," says Duilio Torrez as he explains the design of this extraordinary vase. I love gazing up at stars on a clear night. The designs on this work of art is etched into the ceramic material and colored with crushed stones to get the shades of red, blue, green, orange and black brushstrokes. This is a great piece to showcase in a room as a decoration.

SpiritHoods Sale and Coupon Code

I am sitting at my computer enjoying a Starbucks hot Apple Chai Tea with my Foxgloves PDX fingerless gloves warming my hands and my new SpiritHoods Red Fox hood on my head :) It is a bit chilly in my house this morning, but I am feeling too lazy to go to the thermostat.

My husband just recently bought me the SpiritHoods Red Fox hood for an early Valentine's gift. I love having whimsy in my life. My favorite forest critters are foxes and deer. I think the hood suits me.

SpiritHoods carries hoods, jackets, capes and shawls; plus accessories you can wear with them. They have stuff for women, men and children. They even have something for the sports fanatic with their Team SpiritHoods line. My other favorites are the Jack Rabbit, Snow Arctic Fox, Husky and Leopard.

The Red Fox is my absolute favorite; however and that is why we couldn't pass up the deal that they have going on now for one. SpiritHoods is having a 2013 Price Drop sale on most of their product line right now! My hood was just $99! Plus we used the coupon code MAGIC and got 15% off of that!! The hood retails for $129 normally.

The hood is gorgeous and made of soft faux fur that looks pretty authentic to me. It sure fools a lot of people in to thinking that it is real. I am glad SpiritHoods is not endangering animals, but instead for protecting them. They have a program on their website where if you purchase the products with the PROBLUE label they will donate 10% of net profits to a non-profit dedicated to the conservation of that particular animal. They are also made in the USA in Los Angeles, California.

My hood is lined with 100% acrylic, lining: 50% Linen 50% Rayon and is one size fits all. It has a scarf part to wrap around you with pockets for your hands to go into to keep warm. On the other side of the fur pockets are emblems of paw prints with the SpiritHoods logo. Below the neck the hood can be buttoned to keep the hood in place. It sure does keep my head and hands nice and toasty.

Take advantage of the sale before it is gone! Use the coupon code MAGIC and get 15% off current sale prices! Valentine's Day is coming up and you can't beat this deal!

Treat Valentine's Day Review and Giveaway

My special someone, my husband, deserves a special thank you card from me this Valentine's Day...actually he deserves more than that, but a card is a good start :) He has been trying so hard to get our farmhouse remodeled so that we can move in, but he has been so busy with helping others and giving overtime at his job that he has had little time for it. I love him so much for his efforts. Maybe he will get a break to get some of it done soon. We have a lot to do still on it because we are gutting the whole thing to make it our very own.

Since a card is in order first before anything else. I think Treat.com is a great place to get them! Greeting cards can be more personalized and customized with Treat.com. You can make these one-of-a-kind cards online in the comfort of your own home...even in your pajamas if you like :) Add your own photos and words to make something truly unique and perfect for your special someone. You can't really do that with a boring drugstore greeting card.

Plus Treat.com has some other great services to help you out in the whole process. First they have a reminder service that will make sure that you never miss a birthday, anniversary, or other special date. They also have a Message Library that can help if you are at a loss of words. They even have cards that can integrate gift cards in them if you want to add a certain something more to it. Treat Valentine's Day cards are a wonderful way to say exactly what you want to. Their services are so fun and easy to use and so much more personal. Go on and make an amazing card today!

The Windfall Tree and Purple Passion Fingerless Gloves Review

The Windfall Tree on Etsy is owned by Kristy Gordanier. She loves knitting, crocheting, painting, drawing, crafting and sewing. She chose her shop name The Windfall Tree because of it's meaning. Windfall means 'good fortune' or 'unexpected gain'. In her Etsy shop she has listed: Washcloths, Coasters, Security Loveys, Lunch Bags, Sandwich Bags, Plush Amigurumi, Purses / Bags, Baby Items (Burp Cloths, Bibs), Wearable Accessories (Wrist Cozies, Hats, Cowl Neck Warmers, Scarves, Fingerless Gloves), and Keyfobs. All are made in the USA local to me in Oregon and great Valentine's Day Gifts!

Kristy is very talented! I fell in love with a set of Purple Passion fingerless gloves in her store and asked her if I could review them in my Valentine's Amore Gift Guide. These are made with a gorgeous plum colored super soft Angora yarn with rose pink Fun Fur edging. These are beautifully hand-crocheted by Kristy. I love them! They are so great for when it is nippy outside, but you want to have your fingers free to do whatever. I love taking them when I go for walks outdoors in the brisk morning air. They are very warm and exceptionally soft. They are the perfect Valentine's Day gift and she has more fingerless gloves listed in her shop right now along with all the other nice handmade items.

YouCanMakeThis Apron Knot Dress Review and Valentine's Package Giveaway

I was given the opportunity to review the Apron Knot Dress by Little Lizard King downloadable PDF. I love this adorable pattern! It has detailed step by step full instructions, diagrams, photos and directions. Multiple sizes are included in this pattern ranging from 6 months – 12 years. It also has a great deal of customization you can do with the many options it has. It is so versatile! You can use toned fabric scraps or an array of mix-matched coordinating fabrics. You can have your little girl wear it in the summer with a cute tank top or in the winter with leggings and a long sleeved shirt. It also has an apron knot dress pattern for an 18 inch doll. This pattern looks simple and straightforward. I am so excited to try it out when I get some new fabric!! My girls and their dolls will look so precious!

Novica $50 Gift Certificate Giveaway

NOVICA helps change the lives of artisans in developing nations, while offering us extraordinary handmade gifts, jewelry, apparel, and home decor. There are so many talented artists and artisans around the world. NOVICA provides these unique, hard-to-find items on their internet website at great prices. These services are all fair trade, meaning that they don't charge the artists and artisans any listing fees and the artists and artisans remain fully independent. They are free to raise their prices, lower their prices, or remove their items from their website whenever they please. This website is great to buy something from for your sweetheart for Valentine's Day, just remember since these items are coming all the way from the country they are made in, the shipping might take longer than expected.

They have some very great gifts, including: Unique Corporate Gifts, Silk Shawls, Pendants bracelets, and Women's wraps and sarongs.

I love the NOVICA platform. They have a story of the specific artist and artisan on the item's page for every item they create. They cover the Andes, Bali and Java, Brazil, Central America, India, Mexico, Thailand, and West Africa regions. I love learning about the artist or artisan that has made the items when I purchase from there. You can search for what you want to look for in their search and narrow it down even more from there. You can also search from low to high price or high to low price. They also have these categories that you can search under as special features right now: Valentine's Day Gifts, Gift Finder, Eco-Friendly Gifts, Gifts for Mom, Gifts for Dad, Corporate Gifts, Spiritual & Inspirational Gifts, Fast Shipping Gifts, Collectibles, Featured Sale, and Gift Animals.

I also love their new home party division, NOVICA LIVE. If you join as a consultant you will be getting in early and making good money in direct sales supporting artisans worldwide. NOVICA LIVE is expanding across the country right now and signing up new consultants every week. The starter kits are only $199 and have over $400 worth of samples and $150 in business materials. They have a lot of promotions going on for their early consultants, including earning a trip to recreate Eat, Pray, Love with their co-founder Armenia in Bali (she was featured in Liz Gilbert's book)! Also, they have a generous commission plan so you can make money while working just a few hours per week. If you sign up to host a party or be a new consultant please put in my blog url on the Contact Us page under the drop down text input box where the question says, "How did you hear about NOVICA Live", after you select "from a blogger" or "from a website". This way they can offer me credit for referring you.

I received a free $50 Gift Certificate from NOVICA so that I can review some items later on my blog once they arrive from Thailand. I picked some gorgeous Natural orchid dangle earrings called 'Twilight' made by artisan Danai and a beautiful Lapis lazuli and smoky quartz brooch with 'Phuket Flowers' made by Nareerat.
