I have had the awesome chance to work with a great company called The Pink Monogram. You may be wondering, what is this site you talk about? Well, The Pink Monogram is known for their Monogramed Clogs! Monica was very nice and fun to work with. In 2007, she was nominated for Business Person of the Year by Greenville Magazine. In 2008, She made the "O" list on Oprah.com . The Pink Monogram again made Oprah's favorite in 2010 when their High Heel Monogrammed Clogs appeared in the July 2010 Magazine.

  The Pink Monogram has over 4000+ monogrammed and engraved gifts available! They have  iPhone cases, jewelry and more! You name it, they have it! I had the wonderful chance to review the Monogrammed Pink and Green Throw.
   This throw is so adorable. The Pink and Green Throw is 50x60 with green whip stitch trim. I was able to choose my thread color, then select my font or monogram style. I am completely satisfied with how big it is and how warm it keeps me. I definitely have my new cuddle blanket. I am sitting here on my couch, all warm and cozy with this blanket while writing this review. You can see in the picture above how big this blanket is. It covers most of my queen sized bed!

 Overall, Monica was so nice and her company has so many great products I recommend it to ALL of you! You can buy this Throw for $35. Check out The Pink Monogram and see what other products that they have. Christmas will be here before too long, maybe you will find that special gift for someone!  You can also find them on Facebook and Twitter. Let her know that Bre from The Small Things sent you too.

If you could have anything from The Pink Monogram, what would it be? Tell me, I would love to hear!

 I love a clean and organized kitchen. I also love when my spices are organized. YouCopia has just the thing we all need, the SpiceStack.  You can read more about YouCopia Below.
YouCopia was founded in 2006 by father-daughter duo Mark and Lauren Greenwood. Mark, an inventor with 30+ years experience in housewares, hardware, pet and juvenile industries, worked with product engineer Brian McLain to design and develop a concept that would challenge the traditional meaning of a "spice rack".
The SpiceStack smartly organizes store-bought spices in the kitchen cabinet. The unique horizontal drawers flip down to reveal spice bottle labels for easy selection and return while cooking. More than 400,000 SpiceStacks have been sold to date because it works so well! The concept is also great in our new line of coffee pod organizers, including the CoffeeStack and CaféStack.
 I am amazed with the product completely. The SpiceStack organizes your spices. The SpiceStack holds 18 spices easily or 36 half- spice bottles. It even comes with pre printed labels for you to use! There are labels that are blank so that you can add your own spices too.  There are spices missing on my bottom rack because I am just picky about what spices I add where. There is pepper , onion powder, garlic and special seasoning on there though.  My middle rack consists of my sugar and cinnamon and a lot of sprinkles. The top rack has the stuff that I don't use often, such as mustard, chili seasoning, etc.

  This SpiceStack is just awesome. It completely changed my kitchen. It is funny how something like this makes my day. Overall, I highly recommend this product for anyone that is in the kitchen. They are stackable and fits in almost any cabinet too. You do not have to assemble this product when you buy it because it is already assembled for you! This brings a whole new meaning to organized. Get yourself a SpiceStack TODAY!

  Youcopia sells other products too. Find more of them on the SpiceStack website. You can buy this product for $24.95 on their website today! Follow YouCopia on Facebook and Twitter to keep up with the latest news about their products.

 I adopted out Jelly's first litter today. They were 6 weeks old and ready to go to homes. A sweet older lady took them for her grand kids. I was in awe when they were ooooOooing and such over them. I was waiting as long as I could but there was a reason I had to just jump the gun like I did. Last night, I looked in Jellys cage and Butters was asleep. Then there they were. A few itty bitty babies. I counted one after another, dug around the cage and found 8 tiny Robo Dwarf Hamster Pups. I was in complete AWE! 
They are well taken care of and fed, not to mention I have educated myself about them and I play with them daily. I have decided to make this post to educate everyone about these little critters.  I want to say one thing: If you are not educated on breeding please do not attempt it. DO NOT handle the babies unless mom trusts you and you are educated on how to handle them. I learned a lot from this awesome site on EVERYTHING you need to know about Robo Dwarf Hamsters. Check it out , you will learn A LOT!  I will be posting one picture a day to show how they progress and grow, up until this litter is weaned and adopted out.
Progress Litter #2: There are 4 girls and 4 boys!

  • Day 1 8/22/12- Jelly gave birth to 8 Robo Dwarf Pups. In about 7 days the babies get their fur and after 10 days they open their eyes and can hear and begin walking around.

  • Day 3 8/24/12 The babies are getting a little darker. Their ears still are not formed.

         I had the wonderful chance to work with this company. I have to say that I am completely in LOVE! I had the chance to review the Adovia Purifying Dead Sea Mud Mask.

         I know I look silly but this mask is amazing. Here are some amazing tips about this mask that you need to know before you use it:
        If you’re looking for a regular treatment for acne breakouts or an emergency treatment for problem areas, try Adovia Purifying Dead Sea Mud Mask.
        Made from a formula comprised of mud extracted from the Dead Sea, Vitamin C and Aloe Vera, the mask works to extract oil and other debris from the skin – leaving behind glowing, healthy skin. As the mask dries, it gently pulls out toxins and impurities that can contribute to clog pores that can make the skin appear aged.
        • Adovia Purifying Dead Sea Mud Mask is a great solution for treating and preventing acne.
        • The product can work as an emergency spot-treatment for acne, pimples and blemishes.
        • The product leaves the skin with a noticeable healthy glow.
        • Dead Sea mud infuses the skin with minerals while firming and improving skin elasticity.
        • Adovia Purifying Dead Sea Mud Mask is a “MUST-HAVE” product for anyone who suffers from oily or acne-prone skin.
        ABOUT THIS PRODUCT
        • Adovia Purifying Dead Sea Mud Mask is a natural and effective facial mask formulated with Dead Sea Black Mud, Bee’s wax and a host of other naturally moisturizing ingredients such as Jojoba, Evening Primrose and Olive oils.
        • In addition to a variety oils, the product also contains skin-soothing Aloe Vera extract and Chamomile – a natural anti-inflammatory agent.
        • The product is also stocked full of skin-friendly nutrients such as vitamins A and C, which leave the skin refreshed and renewed.
        • Made for people of all skin types: normal, dry, oily and acne-prone, this product helps to repair and revitalize the skin and tighten the pores.
        • As the mask dries, it gently removes toxins and impurities and firms the skin - improving overall elasticity, tone and clarity.
        PREP YOUR SKIN
        • Prior to using Adovia Purifying Dead Sea Mud Mask, make sure to clean your skin thoroughly before applying the product. For best results, wash your face with Adovia Mud Soap. For an added bonus, after washing your face, follow with a gentle exfoliating product. We recommend trying Adovia Exfoliating Facial Salts for Acne.
        • To maximize the effectiveness of the product, conduct the facial after a long steamy shower. After a hot shower, the pores are open and more receptive to nutrients. If you don’t have time for a shower, turn your bathroom into a sauna instead. Turn on the shower to create steam and sit in the room for 15 to 20 minutes to allow the steam to penetrate your skin and open the pores.
        • For quick steam treatment, boil or microwave a few cups of water and pour into a large oven-safe bowl or dish. Then hold your face over the bowl so that the steam can open your pores. For best results, place a large towel over your head and the bowl to prevent the steam from dissipating into the air. Be careful to avoid burning yourself with the hot liquid. To make this mini-sauna even more luxurious, try sprinkling a few drops of essential oil in the water for a little aromatherapy. If you don’t have any essential oils at home, add a few drops of vanilla extract, or, drop in a few slices of a lemon or orange.
        HOW TO USE ADOVIA DEAD SEA MUD MASK
        Step 1: Clean your face of all excess oil and bacteria and pat dry.
        Step 2: Apply a thick layer of the Adovia Purifying Dead Sea Mud by smoothing the product onto the face. Make sure to cover the entire face and neck. Also, pay close attention to problem areas like the T-zone (forehead, chin and cheeks), which produce the most oil. Leave the mask on your face for approximately 20 to 30 minutes until the mask is dry.
        Step 3: Rinse off the mask with warm water and a washcloth. Be careful to remove the mask gently so as to avoid irritating the skin. Once the mask is fully removed, splash your face with cool water to close the pores. Re-apply the mask once a week or whenever your skin feels like it needs a beautifying boost.
        Step 4: Follow up the mask with a lightweight moisturizer to leave you skin supple and soft. We recommend using Adovia Day Moisturizing Cream.
        SKIN CARE TIPS
        • Most acne is caused when the pores become clogged with dirt, bacteria and debris.
        • Another major cause of acne are over active sebaceous glands (the glands in the skin that produce oil).
        • Sometimes soaps cannot penetrate the skin to clean dirt and debris lodged deep within the pores. To solve this problem, sometimes you may need to augment your normal skin care routine with a weekly mud-based mask facial. Mud masks extract deep seeded debris, stubborn oil and dirt that your daily cleanser simply cannot reach.
        FOLLOW UP SKIN CARE REGIME
        • After applying the Adovia Purifying Dead Sea Mud Mask, be sure to complete the treatment by nourishing your skin with moisture.
        • Add moisture with a lightweight facial moisturizer or lotion. We recommend using Adovia Day Moisturizing Cream.
        • If you engage in a weekly mud mask, not only will you help to naturally purify your skin, but you can also prevent your face from aging prematurely!

        Overall, I am VERY satisfied with this product. It leaves my face soooo soft and smooth. I have to say I completely recommend it to anyone and everyone! Males can use it too!!!  It is so easy to put on and makes me feel great to pamper myself. You can BUY this mask for $27.95, Feel free to follow Cleopatra's Choice on Facebook and Twitter as well. Don't forget to check out other products that they offer!
