Color Me Monthly(April 2014)- Chiffon Nail Polish Review

by Bre, 12:05 AM
Color Me Monthly is a fun and simple subscription service that delivers one gorgeous nail polish to your door every month. As you have seen here on my blog, you know that I have a love for nail polish and all things pretty! Color Me Monthly was founded by two sisters who believe that high quality doesn't have to be high priced. Another thing about Color Me Monthly is that their products are:
  • Non-toxic and carcinogen-free
  • Never tested on animals
  • Vegan
  • Eco-friendly
  • Made in the USA
All of these are things that a nail polish lover wants to hear! I love wearing Non- Toxic and Fun Nail Polish. For the month of April, the color is this beautiful Chiffon.  This fun pastel polish is perfect for the spring! 
 The Chiffon color is inspired by lightweight, woven ‘chiffon’ fabric that is often seen in evening gowns–modest, yet sophisticated in it’s simplicity. Isn't the lavender color fun and gorgeous.. Another thing you should know, this was only ONE coat. I love the color and I love their formula. The Color Me Monthly Nail Polish Subscription gives you one surprise bottle of nail polish for only $7 a month.  I am going to be honest and say that $7 for one bottle of polish is a RIP OFF. I would never in my life pay for this.  If I am going to pay $7 for nail Polish, I will go to ULTA and get a brand name. Addition to subscribing monthly- you can also gift mom a Half-Year ($40) and Year ($75) subscription!  In addition to their subscriptions, you can also visit their Color Me Monthly Vault for non subscription products such as nail polish as well as a top coat and base coat! Their nail polish is in 16.5mL / 0.56 fl. oz. full size bottles.
If you are not happy with your subscription, you can cancel in your account anytime. Shipping is free! Just remember, because this is nail polish- allow up to 10 days to receive! Check them out via one of the links here in this post and subscribe today! You can also visit Color Me Monthly on their social media below!

Nokia Lumia #Icon- The best phone I have ever had! #VZWLife

by Bre, 12:12 AM
Disclosure: I am a member of the Verizon Wireless #VZWLife team and received a device as part of this program. I am a (long time) Verizon customer and all opinions are my own. I give photo credit to Verizon Wireless.
 I love trying out new phones and phone features. Recently I received the new Nokia Lumia Icon in black and I could not help but to brag about it here. I have never had a Windows Phone before. This totally blew me out of the water. The Nokia Lumia Icon comes in white and black. I received a black one and it is just perfect. The HD screen is great because there is always a clear picture in bright sunlight or indoors. One our of many of my favorite features about this phone is that you can personalize your live tiles theme to a color of your choosing depending on your mood. I change it often. The Mauve and Hot Pink are two colors I like to use.
This phone is so unique because you can personalize it to your liking. Resizing tiles, changing the theme and more! You can choose what apps you want on the screen and pin them. You can also pin your contacts. You can also add your social media and get live tile notifications. Another favorite feature about this phone is the 20 MP camera. Who would have thought that a cell phone would have a camera like this? This camera is amazing! I mean AMAZING. Not only can you re-frame and zoom into pictures after you have taken them, but you can zoom in by swiping your finger on the display. You can also reduce background noise by tapping your finger on the screen to focus toward that area. There are also four high-performance microphones to get an amazing experience. 
Another thing that I love is  how FAST the phone is. I mean super fast. You don't lag and the phone doesn't freeze because it has a 2.2 GHz quad-core processor (Verizon’s first Windows® Phone with quad-core technology). This gives you the ability to switch between texts to apps, and calls and more with no issue. The phone also has a 2420 mAh battery. It lasts me all day. It also has built in wireless charging. Currently I am searching for a dock so I can experience that.
As you can see above, I have a ton of Nokia photo and video apps. The Nokia Glam Me App allows you to take a photo via the front facing camera. It detects your face and makes you "beautified". Pretty neat app if you ask me! Check out the photo below for yourself.
One of my favorite is the Nokia Creative Studio. It gives you the ability to add filters and it has a quick way to crop photos if needed. I purchased the upgrade to the Phototastic app in the Windows App store. This app is amazing because you can add so many more filters as well as give your photos neat borders. Check out some of the photos that I have took with my phone and edited below.
 The sun was setting here in Tennessee so I snapped a picture and used the Vignette filter on it. It makes for a beautiful photo!
 My Max. I used the Phototastic App and a filter as well as this cute border. Pretty fancy huh? You can also add text or watermarks with the app. Check it out in the Window's Store!
This last photo here is perfect. Max and I were at the laundromat today and I snapped a picture. No filter. I just use the auto feature on the camera and it came out perfect. The Nokia Camera also has features such as- Best shot, Change faces, Remove moving objects, Action shot, Motion focus all in one app. This phone makes my life easier because I am a review blogger. I take photos often of my products and items that I get to review and I love how I can edit my photos without even going to the computer!
If you have kids that like to play with your phone and you don't want apps accidentally purchased after you add your credit card- there is a Kids Corner on the phone! NO more worrying they will purchase or click something you don't want them to see.  Kid's Corner grants your little ones access only to the apps, games, videos, and music you choose for them, so you can relax and let them play. They can open Kid's Corner on their own, but your Start screen, apps, and info are protected by a password you set! Pretty neat huh? Overall, I am in love with my new phone and all of the features that it has to offer. I am still learning and it will be a process. I do learn something new every day. With all of these features and more than 145,000 apps and games- I think I am going to be busy busy!
If you are a picture taker- This phone IS for you.. not to mention- Mother's Day is going to be here soon! This is a gift mom will LOVE and be thankful for! If you are looking to see what you will pay for a phone like this, the phone retails for $549.99 with no contract. With Verizon Edge, you can pay $22.91/mo or if you are looking to purchase WITH a 2 year contract- $199.99 and FREE Shipping online! Thanks for reading!

Volupties- Plus Sized Panty Subscription Review

by Bre, 3:20 AM
I am a bigger girl and finding undies that fit properly is not an issue, it is finding some that are stylish and not plain and boring. Recently, I came across a panty subscription service called Volupties. Volupties offers cute and stylish undies for plus sized, curvy women. It is hard to find undies that are cute for myself. With Volupties, I won't have an issue! How does it work? You will receive a package of 3 Pairs of Quality Underwear delivered to your door every month from terrific brands. Boyshorts, briefs, thongs, lace or cotton, each month offers a new surprise. There are a variety of styles and colors. I fell in love with the ones that I received. Two pair are a sheer material. It makes it easier in this hot weather to "breathe".
 My FAVORITE pair is below. They remind me of bridal undies. I love the ruffle and color as well as the little hole in the back of them. They may not look comfortable but they are!
 The material is so comfortable and the blue accent is just perfect.
 These are cute! The hearts and ruffles on the butt and front of the panties are the perfect touch. These are my husbands favorite pair out of the bunch.
 After snapping all of these pictures I tried these on for my husband and he loved this pair. They fit my curvy body well. They are flattering as well. It really had been hard to find flattering undies due to never finding something I loved.
 See the accents and details? I love the hearts! Too cute!
 These red undies look brighter in the picture than they are. They are a candy red and are lace. I am not sure why every picture I took of this particular pair turned out this way.
They have a ribbon draw string on each side too! I would call these the "sexier" of the bunch! Overall, I am in love with the plus sized panties that I received! They make me feel sexy and great in my own skin! No more boring undies for me!! I am a long term customer that is for sure! Want to sign up? Signing up to receive yours is easy! Pick your size they offer 1X-3X, enter your shipping info and receive them! Your Volupties will ship within 7 days after purchase, sometimes sooner, depending on size and availability. So if you ordered on the 1st you can expect it to ship on the 8th. Each month after your first order, your packages will be shipped between the 11th and 19th of the month. They ship 4 times a month! It is only $17 a month with shipping but the first month is only $12 if you use the code :VOLUPTIES! Sign Up with Volupties today with THIS LINK and tell them in the referral box that BRENDA BROWN referred you!  If you want to cancel, you can do so via their contact form but you must do so 48 hours prior to the 10th of each month to avoid that charge! Don't worry-I doubt you will want to cancel anyways! Not plus sized? Check out their Splendies Subscription! Be sure to visit Volupties on their social media below to stay up to date with the latest!  
***Keep an eye out. I am trying to get a giveaway sponsored by  Volupties!**

Solvit Dog Products Tagalong Booster Seat Review And Giveaway

by Bre, 7:20 AM
I love spoiling my Maltipoo, Max! I am sure you have already seen my many reviews for pet products here on my blog. Solvit Products was generous enough to allow Max to test out their Medium Tagalong Pet Booster Seat. Solvit Dog Products carries a variety of easy-to-use pet products for travel, active life, and senior dog care. I was excited with they allowed us to review their booster seat because Max is always getting the back seat covered in hair and never wants to sit still. He is always running around the back seat like a maniac. 
 The Medium booster seat holds pets up to 12 lbs and is made with polyester oxford and a sheepskin fabric combination! The sheepskin fabric is attached with Velcro and is easy to remove and wash. Installing is EASY!
It comes with a metal bar that you push down, you then add the sheepskin cover and there is two straps. One of them go around the back of your seat ( front or back) and one goes around the head rest. You can adjust the straps as you need to. There is also a leash latch so you can keep your pet from jumping out.
 
As you can tell, Max loved it immediately. I am glad that I cut his hair recently, the sheepskin may be a bit warm for the warm weather, but obviously it is comfortable for him.We drove around for about two hours doing our errands and such.
I could really tell that he loved looking out of the window while in the seat. Usually he would be standing with his paws on the door. I love how he can have a comfortable ride and he is able to be higher up on the seat so that he can get a good view of his surroundings. Overall, I love the product and Max does too!I would have never thought to purchase this pet booster seat! I recommend this product for anyone that has a pet! It is convenient! There is also a zipper pocket on the seat to store things too! For larger pets, you can purchase their Large (for pets up to 18 lbs) or Extra Large size ( for pets up to 25 lbs) , or even their Jumbo On-Seat Booster ( For pets up to 30lbs) . If you want the medium, you can purchase it for only the retail price of $44.99. Prices may vary. You can visit their website to find a retailer near you. Be sure to visit Solvit on their website via one of the links in this post to find other products they have to offer! You can also visit Solvit on their social media below!

Keep your floors cleaner with the Neater Feeder! Review and Giveaway

by Bre, 6:09 PM
Max had a dog bowl that got his food and water everywhere. I hated it! That is- until I came across The Neater Feeder! The Neater Feeder is a revolutionary spill-proof pet feeder for dogs and cats. The Neater Feeder takes the mess out of meal time with its spill-proof, kick-proof design. Spilled water drains into the lower reservoir, while food is contained on top. It is a product that is just genius!
 I received a Small Neater Feeder with leg extensions!
 The Small is perfect for dogs under 18 lbs and comes with a 1.5 cup standard stainless steel food bowl and one 2.2 cup extra capacity stainless steel water bowl for your convenience.
 Without the extensions, the bowl is only 3 inches off of the floor and with them, it is 4.5 inches off of the floor. This reduces neck straining on Max. I have noticed a huge difference in his eating since we received it. His posture is better as well.
I love how the water or food falls through the holes to the bottom and you can just lift and dump. It is convenient and easy for sure! Overall, we are thrilled and we love the Neater Feeder! It comes in Bronze or Cranberry! You can purchase other products as well. 
They have the  Neater Feeder Deluxe For Cats , Medium Neater Feeder Deluxe, & Large Neater Feeder Deluxe! Check out other products on their website via one of the links here in this post! If you want the Small Neater Feeder Deluxe for your pet, you can purchase it for only $37.98! You can also visit them on their social media below to stay up to date with the latest! 
Win it: One lucky reader is going to win a Neater Feeder on their choice! Need one for your cat, a large, medium or small? Your choice of color and size is up to you! You win- you get it! Winner must live in the Continental USA and complete the mandatory entries to qualify. Giveaway will end on 5/2/14 at 11:59PM CST. No purchase necessary to enter. Enter with the giveaway tools below and goodluck!

BeautyArmy Subscription Box Review

by Bre, 5:34 PM
I love subscription boxes and I love beauty products. There is nothing better than having both of them together. BeautyArmy is a personalized beauty and personal care service. They have a sample beauty box! After completing a quick profile, they match you to products that fit you and you get to pick 6 of those products for your box. I was happy to be able to easily answer some questions about myself and profile and pick out items for my box. This is what I received!
The BeautyArmy box is adorable with the pink camo for sure! Opening my box and checking out the products that I chose was fun.
What all came in my box? The first thing was the bhcosmetics California Collection of eye shadow. It is a 3 color sample pack but I don't use eyeshadow often so it will last.
If you want to shop their products on the BeautyArmy website, you can check those out here. Another product that I received was these Remington Braided Hair Wraps.
I also enjoyed this Noven Brazillian Keratin Hair Care Cream! It makes your hair super smooth! 
 This  Phyto 5Jojoba Shea Butter Face Cream sample made my face feel refreshed and amazing too! It is an intensive nourishing treatment cream for dehydrated skin. Protects, regenerates and minimizes fine lines. Ideal for mature skin.
Another product for my hair is the Nelson j Beverly Hills Argan Oil 7 Non-Foaming Shampoo sample that I received. It smells like Natural Citrus Mint! Nelson j Argan Oil Non-Foaming Shampoo is a revolutionary product in hair care. 
A 7-in-1 formula, this one product replaces your shampoo, conditioner, detangler, shine spray, smoothing serum, color protector, pre-styling lotion. It is the first non-foaming shampoo that cleanses hair thoroughly but without all the harsh ingredients that may be found in ordinary shampoos - it is designed so it won't strip hair and scalp of their natural oils. Your hair is left with shine, moisture, manageability and better color retention. 
The last product in the box is this Vidal Sassoon Color Gloss Creme. It helps Protect From Styling Damage Which Can Cause Dull Color. It helps protect color treated hair!
 Overall, I am happy with my BeautyArmy Sample Box, if you want one for yourself, you can subscribe or buy a gift subscription for only $12 a month! Visit BeautyArmy and Subscribe today! You can also visit them on their social media below! Thanks for reading!
