Looking for stylish yet comfortable clothes? You must check out clothing by Agnes & Dora. Lauren Maxwell is an Independent Rep for the company, and has sent me many beautiful pieces of clothing I want to show you and tell you all about.

 

About Agnes & Dora: 

It has been said that “confidence is the best outfit”. What we wear is a reflection of our personal beliefs and we wear it like a coat of arms. Throughout history, a coat of arms have been worn by a tribe or group of people to intentionally deliver a message. It was worn as a symbol of their identity. Wearing a coat of arms makes a declaration about who we are and what we show the world. We must claim our power and have a conviction of our worth and value within ourselves. Not only are we enough, we are also beautiful, confident, strong, kind, intelligent and more. The world reflects our beliefs back to us according to our own personal coat of arms.

My intention in building Agnes & Dora has been to encourage others to create a better life for themselves. I want to change the way the world sees us by changing the way we see ourselves.

Our Agnes and Dora coat of arms is defined by our mission statement, guiding principles, and vision statement.

Beautiful Photo Blankets from Collage.com (Review and Giveaway)

September 29, 2017 By

The holidays are approaching quickly, now is the time to start thinking of gifts for friends and family. Sometimes it is not easy to think of gifts for loved ones. You aren’t sure if they have something you are thinking of, but you don’t just want to give a gift card. I was contacted by Collage.com to review two of their customizable photo blankets. These would definitely make great gifts!

Collage.com offers a variety of photo blankets to choose from. They offer: Fleece, Sherpa, Printed Woven, Plush Fleece, Plush Sherpa and Woven Image.  The sizes of the blankets depend on which blanket style you choose. I chose to review the Printed Woven blanket and the Woven Image blanket.

 

The ordering process was super easy.  I chose the biggest size available (60×80) for both blankets because I knew I would be using one on my couch and one on my bed.  You can add as many photos you want to the blanket and rearrange the photos to show exactly where you want them on the blanket. you can upload photos right from your computer, Facebook and Instagram. You can add backgrounds, stickers effects and text. Possibilities are endless!

I chose the Printed Woven with lots of family pictures. For my second blanket, I chose the Woven Image with one large photo. I am so excited how both of them turned out. Each blanket arrived in a clear carry case great for storage or travel. The blankets are super soft and they feel very heavy-duty. I love the large size of the blankets and each photo pops with color. The photos look absolutely perfect on the blanket.

 

In conclusion, I am very happy and impressed with the quality of these blankets from Collage.com. I believe they are 100% worth the price, and I love how you can customize them any way you wish. These blankets would make great holiday gifts, wedding gifts, Anniversary gifts and birthday gifts!

All of the blankets are backed by Collage.com‘s Just Right 100% satisfaction guarantee: If a customer doesn’t like his or her order, they make it right or refund money.

Beautiful Personalized Bar Kids Name Necklaces From Wickedly Mod Review and Giveaway

September 24, 2017 By


Are you looking for a beautiful customized piece of jewelry with your children’s names on it? Look no further, Wickedly Mod has beautiful personalized bar necklaces in a variety of colors and engraving choices.

 

I loved personalized items, especially when they have my children’s names on them. I was able to review a personalized bar kids name necklace from Wickedly Mod and cannot wait to tell you all about the gorgeous necklace and easy ordering process.

 

About this Necklace:

Personalized bar necklace with your kids name is the perfect gift for mom!   You will receive a beautiful laser engraved personalized sterling silver, gold-filled, or rose gold-filled 30mm x 5mm bar necklace. Price starts at $38.

MATERIALS: Made with either sterling silver, gold-filled or rose gold-filled. All pieces and components are made with the same materials.

DIMENSIONS: 30mm x 5mm.

*NOTE: The length of your chain will include the length of the bar!  The bar is a little more than an inch in length*

• Available in sterling silver, gold filled, or rose gold filled
• Want one with your name?  Order yours here: personalized bar name necklace (note: you can still order this one but the name will always be centered)
• We use a high end laser machine for all cuts and engravings.
• Excellent customer service
• Superb quality and craftsmanship
• Unique personalized jewelry
• Beautiful packaging for easy gift giving (this necklace will go in it’s own individual Wickedly Mod box)
• Discounts are available for bridal parties and bulk orders (depending on total order value). Please contact us for more details.

 

The first step to the ordering process is to decide on what metal choice to pick. The options available are: Sterling Silver, Gold Filled ($4 extra) and Rose Gold Filled ($8 extra). I chose the Rose Gold because I love that color. The next step is to choose your chain length. The options are 14″ to 30″ with that average adult length being 18″. I chose the 19″ because I like to wear my necklaces a bit longer than the average length. Prices will vary on how long you want the chain to be.

The next step is choosing your engraving font. Wickedly Mod has an engraving font example photo that will help you choose the best font for your necklace. I knew I wanted a cursive type font so I went with “Trendy” and so glad I did since it came out exactly how I wanted and exactly how it looks on the example photo provided. The last step is to choose the name separator if you are personalizing more than one name. You can pick between a heart or a dot. I chose the heart. You can also add font to the back of the bar for an addition $7.

Once your are finished personalizing your necklace, you can click the checkout button. This will have everything you have chosen listed so you can review it for any errors. Then you add your billing and shipping information and that is it! SHIPPING IS ALSO FREE!!!! You will then receive a confirmation email, and then a shipping email with tracking once your necklace ships. The process was quick and easy.

I received my necklace about 6 days later. It came in a cute little box and velvety holder. I am so thrilled with how gorgeous this necklace is and the quality is amazing. I am so excited to wear it and show it off to my friends and family. I am looking forward to purchasing a few of these for my family members for the upcoming holidays!

 

This necklace would make a perfect gift for any Mother, Grandmother, Aunt…etc for birthdays or holiday gifts. Use code MOMMYHASTOWORK15 for 15% off your entire order.

Smore Magazine Subscription for Girls Review and Giveaway

September 14, 2017 By

I am fortunate enough to be the mom to two amazing daughters and they both happen to love science.  My older daughter was so fascinated with microbiology in 6th grade science class that she used her birthday money to purchase a stuffed paramecium and euglena.  (It’s OK…you can google it. I had to, too!) Their dad and I both have science backgrounds, so it makes me very happy that my daughters love learning about Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics – or STEM – topics.

But, did you know that while women make up 48% of the US workforce, they are only 24% of the STEM workforce? Young girls have untapped talent and potential to change the world through a STEM career, but how do we cultivate that interest at a young age?  The creators of Smore are trying to do just that with their magazine created for girls ages 7 – 12 who love science.  Every issue has nearly 50 pages of beautifully illustrated content, including science-related cartoons, how-to articles, trivia, reader contributions, interviews with female scientists, and a pullout poster.  Plus, the entire magazine is ad-free.

Both my girls really enjoyed checking out the inaugural issue of Smore.  The articles and topics, complete with eye-catching illustrations and photographs, were perfect for my 8 year old to understand and enjoy, but detailed enough to keep my older daughter’s attention as well.  As a mom, I love the educational content packaged in a high quality, fun-to-read magazine – and did I mention AD FREE?!

Smore magazine has six issues a year and is available in print and digital versions.  So if you have a young girl in your life, ignite her brilliance with a subscription to Smore magazine.  For more information, visit www.smoremagazine.com.

 

***GIVEAWAY***

Do you have a daughter, granddaughter, niece, or know a young girl who loves science?  Comment below and let us know what she dreams of being when she grows up and you will be entered to win a copy of the inaugural issue of Smore magazine just for her! Giveaway ends on October 6th, U.S. Residents only.
