JTCreationz One-of-a-kind Jewelry Designs




JTCreationz Review


Custom Jewelry~ We all love it, but your probably saying "I can find that just about anywhere!" You're right! There are lots of places that make custom jewelry, BUT how many of those jewelry makers give you their all? Well, Tiffany at JTCreationz one-of-a-kind Jewelry Designs takes everything she has, and puts it into her jewelry to make it exactly how you want, and make sure it is your favorite piece of jewelry!!!

A little bio on the owner:​
​Tiffany started out making jewelry in her home as random gifts for people, a few years ago. She decided she loved it so much, that after graduating she went back to her passion of making jewelry. She came up with the name by combining her and her fiance's name thus.. JTCReationz was born. They work together, tossing around ideas, and mixing styles. JTCreationz strives to be original, and functional. Their mission is to  donate money from sales to help the Faith Lutheran Youth with events, travel and fund raising.

Great Opportunity:

I was given a great opportunity to review a custom made necklace just for me made by JTCreationz One-of-a-kind Jewelry Designs, and i was very excited! I had seen some of her work before, and was very impressed. She  made me a Mahogany Necklace in neutral colors, and also a gold cross necklace that can be worn along with the Mahogany necklace, or alone!


This is the Mahogany neckace, neutral & beautiful alone by itself!









This is the cross necklace, also neutral and can also be worn by itself!









And when you put the two together, they are so beautiful! So it's really a 3 in 1 for 
the price of one!!

These necklaces were made very carefully, and were done perfectly. I couldn't see the line they were made on & the beads were very nice. They were glass beads, and were beautiful. I have two boys, one of which is a VERY active toddler, so when i wear jewelry i have to be very careful because it will be yanked, and pulled on. These necklaces definitely proved their worth to me!! My son got ahold of these, while they were on the desk, ...and took off with them. He had them around his neck, pulling on it, stuffed in his pockets....things hanging from it!! These necklaces held their place. They didn't stretch. They didn't give. The beads didn't look loose, and the clasps are sturdily set to the necklace. Tiffany puts alot of work into all jewelry to make sure that they can withstand the test of time! And they did just that! I would definitely recommend any moms that want fashionable, unique, custom made to tailor YOUR personal style...AND jewelry that will hold up to those terrible toddlers...JTCreationz One-of-a-kind Jewelry Designs is the place you need to go to!

Bracelet and Earrings Review
​I received this beautiful bracelet and earrings to review!! The bracelet is made with small white beads that make up most of the bracelet with these two beautiful accent beads that are green with a gorgeous flower detail on the beads!! They are stunning! The earrings are made with the same green accent with flower detail beads and then have several strands of the small white beads hanging down from them. Both the bracelet and the earrings are made with silver hardware. I personally prefer silver to gold, so this is a plus. They are both extremely well made. The beads are on a type of clear nylon string and are double stranded so they will not break. They are beaded to the max, so full and tight with no slack so you can't actually see the type of line they are beaded on. Definitely a one-of-a-kind set!! I have received tons of compliments on this set of jewelry. I would definitely recommend her shop to anyone looking for that perfect piece of jewelry, that no one else has!! Her customer service is spectacular!! And the shipping on her items is also extremely fast!! 
The Beautiful Set I reviewed!!!!

Insect Shield Giveaway!!!

Company Background:
Insect shield introduced the first EPA-registered insect-repellent apparel in July of 2003. Their technology provides an effective, odorless and invisible protection against bugs such as mosquitoes, ticks, ants, flies, chiggers, and midges through up to 70 washes! Insect Shield has also partnered with a number of agencies and international relief organizations to help use their technology to protect against insects as a daily aid. You can find Insect Shields links at the bottom of the page.

What we think:
We think Insect Shield is AWESOME!! A few months ago, they had a facebook promotion where they gave away their Insect Shield Bandanas. I participated and got one for my husband, who recently starting working nights as a train engineer. He had to keep the overhead light on while he was driving to see the controls, which made a cloud of bugs fly around his head and neck. The bugs would get in his hair and go down his shirt. When we received the bandana, he was extremely excited (yet skeptical) to try it out. So he wore it around his neck that night at work...and guess what?! NO BUGS!! The bugs stayed off of him completely. None in his hair or down his shirt. He was amazed and loved it!! We have continued to wash it daily for him to use and it still works like a charm. It does exactly what it says. It's odorless and you can't tell it's not a normal bandana, besides its amazing abilities to keep bugs away. We HIGHLY recommend ANY of Insect Shields products. Their customer service is great and shipping is very speedy!


The Giveaway:
Thanks to the WONDERFUL people at Insect Shield, one lucky GRAND PRIZE winner will win a Eagles Nest Outfitters Doublenest Hammock with Insect Shield! And then we have 50, that's right I said 50, promo kits to giveaway!! Details about the prizes are under the pictures.

Personalized Ballerina Princess Childrens Book © Review


We had the pleasure of reviewing the Ballerina Princess Children's book. The book is fabulous and has great illustrations. The shipping is also VERY fast and we received the book in PERFECT condition. I have included a few pictures showing the book and some of the text so you can see just how cool this is. I wish I would have video taped my daughters excitement when we read the book to her for the first time. Every time we would read her name she would say 'That's me?, Really?, YESSSSSSS!!!' and do the funniest little expressions and this 'cha-ching' movement with her arm!! It was so funny!! We were all laughing with joy at how happy she was with the book. And she would interrupt us EVERY TIME we said her name saying and doing those same things!! Madyson told me for hours after we read the book...'Mommy, this is the best book EVER!!'. It was SO sweet!! I can't tell you the happiness in my heart because of her LOVE for this book!! The book listed her full name, age, city, and state. We also had her sisters name, her nanny, and her friend Mrs. Linda's name added to the book as well. Everyone who has visited has fallen in love with this book. This book is one of the smaller ones (which isn't really that small to me) and is retailed at $10.99. They also have larger books which retail anywhere from $13.99 to $19.99. You can't beat that price for the quality and personalization of the book. I would pay way more than that for the smiles this book put on my daughters face. I will definitely be planning purchases of more books in the future. This is one of the neatest things I have found to buy for my kids or as gifts. Nothing is more special than a unique gift made just for child!! 


Pictures of the book:
Personalized with a special note!!

We had Madyson's sister Faelyn, Her Nanny, and her friend Mrs. Linda's names added..

~Kreations Juzt 4 U~

Kreations Juzt 4 U


The Name tells it all!!! <3  Custom creations made just for you, for your loved ones! 


It is no secret that we all love things that are personalized, and are made just for us! That one thing we have, that everyone is always asking about! So I was extremely excited when I was given this opportunity. When Tammie from Kreations Juzt 4 U contacted me about doing a review for her, I thought hmm… Ok, looks like another ‘just like everyone else’ boutique. Let me tell  you, my mind was quickly changed! After looking around her store, she had a vast array of items to choose from. From monogrammed wine glasses & glass ornaments, to personalized household items……Little girls jewelry, hair bows, tutus! You name it , Tammie can do it for you!


So now to tell you about the AWESOME items I reviewed from Kreations Juzt 4 u!!


First up is a monogrammed Dish soap bottle & glass ornament! These are too stinkin cute! You can choose the colors, and whatever Name/Initial you like. I tested the bottle to see if it leaked when turned upside down, and it was sealed up tighter than Fort Knox! You can also get these in O&V (oil & vinegar) bottles….CUTE!!! I will be ordering me a whole set of the ornaments ASAP!!! <3
                                                       
Little girls love pink  (and so do I hehe), so when we received the monogrammed tubs for my partners girls,….I fell in love! They are very durable, and hold a good amount of toys or books, or maybe hair bows ;) And you can have them personalized to make those angels feel even more special!
                                                    


Don’t forget about those BOYZ!!! There was a special surprise hidden amongst all these treasures, and it was these cool monogrammed buckets for 2 boys! My son has saw it & immediately yelled “This is mine!” and ran to his room to find something to throw in it!
                                               


And last but certainly not least…We have this personalized Christmas Plate. This is my first Christmas as a married woman, and able to have my own tree in my own place with my family! This is the perfect family piece to add to your Christmas night!


                                       


Tammie offers everything you need, all in one place. Honestly, the best customer service I have had in a very long time. She is super quick with responses, shipping, and is very reasonable on her prices. If you need that special something, Kreations Juzt 4 U is the only way to go!

Squeekers Bowtique Flower Bow and Bow Review





I received a gorgeous Flower Bow with a beautiful button in the center on an alligator clip. It is absolutely stunning! My daughter just LOVED it! She felt so special when we put the bow in her hair to take a picture. My Mom also complimented the bow and said it was just plain beautiful and classy! We also received a lime green bow with hot pink flowers and a hot pink center on an alligator clip as well. It is SUPER cute! I just love how green and pink compliment each other. Such fun and playful colors! The bow is not too big, but not too small. My daughter loved that one as well!! What can I say, she's obsessed with bows!!! Madyson thinks they are all for her, as well as any packages that come in the mail. I have attached some pictures of the bows by themselves, as well as a few with them in my oldest daughters hair. Of course when you need good pictures, they make sure to do the exact opposite of what you say!! LOL. I highly recommend Squeekers Bowtique. The bows arrived in 2 days with absolutely NO damage. Perfect condition. The customer service is great as well and she has tons of bows to choose from. Be sure to check out Squeekers Facebook page and let her know Southern Belles sent you. You can find the link at the bottom of this review.





Madyson wearing her bows!! She likes to roll around so her hair is always messy!!LOL
