Disclosure: I got this product as part of an advertorial. Two weeks ago, I was sent a Dapper Snapper for my daughter to use. It’s a half belt that loops in the three back loops of pants/shorts/skirts to help keep them from falling down. You can adjust them, and they fit ages 9 months to 6 years old. My daughter is between sizes, and even then it varies depending on the clothing brand. Many of the pants and shorts I’ve picked up for her are way too loose even with tightening the build in elastic adjusters. This resulted in a few near public ‘wardrobe malfuntions’. The belt goes on quickly & easily. I left it on the outermost snaps so that her shorts weren’t too tight. She is able to still pull everything up and down as needed. Her denim shorts are a little harder to pull back up & the material does bulge a little in the back, but I’ll take that over stuff falling off every few minutes. Also, after two weeks of a lot of playing and a trip to the ballpark to see the ...

Product Review – Purex No Sort for Colors
Two weeks ago, I was sent a bottle of the new Purex No Sort for Colors laundry detergent. The detergent has Anti-Color-Transfer Technology™ which traps loose dye in the wash and prevents it from getting on to your laundry. I’ve never used Purex before and was a bit dubious about it keeping colors from running. I normally use color catcher sheets in stuff that I know will run. I was also a bit leery about using it since we all have sensitive skin as well. So, I decided to try it in a load of towels first. Once dry, I noticed that the towels were a lot fluffier and had a pleasant smell. I don’t usually have any color running with towels, so I decided to give it a harder test. The next load I did was my husband clothes. It’s mostly his work stuff (black pants, blue button up shirts) and regular stuff. However, I added in his jeans as well. I normally wash them by themselves since the color runs on several pairs no matter what you do. After the load ran, I tool everything out to put ...
Product Review – Witch Costumes from Anytime Costume
A week ago, I was invited to pick out a costume from Anytime Costumes. Anytime Costumes is an online site that sells costumes, wigs, makeup and other accessories. After browsing the site, I picked out a costume for my daughter. The costume I picked out was a Halloween Candy Inspired Sorcerer, or a Candy Corn Witch. It consists of a dress and matching hat. There is a matching broom available that you can buy separately. The dress is black on top, and the skirt is layered in white, orange & yellow. The hat is also white, orange & yellow, making it look like a piece of candy corn. The dress is very well made and the fabric is very nice. It all comes in a sturdy zip up garment bag to protect it. My daughter looks absolutely adorable in it and can’t wait for Halloween to come so she can wear it. I was a little worried that it would be too big for her since I got it in a child’s small (fits 4 – 6) & she normally wears a 5T in tops and 4T in bottoms (depending on the ...
Product Review – Glamorous Gold Long Straight Wig Ponytail from MyeSoul
Two weeks ago, I was sent a Glamorous Gold Long Straight Wig Ponytail from MyeSoul. MyeSoul is a site that carries a wide variety of women’s clothing & accessories, including Lolita dresses, costumes, wigs and more. The wig ponytail is synthetic & gives you a long, flowing ponytail. It is blonde colored with highlights, and is curly. It attaches to your hair with a built in clip. My hair is too short, so my daughter tried it on. I pulled her hair up into a ponytail, and then folded it up to fit into the clip. It looks really long on her, but is great for dress up. The only issue I noticed is that the clip is really hard to open. It took a few tries to get it open enough to be able to get her hair into to it. Overall, I liked the wig. The clip is a little hard to open but once in place, it looks great. You can also wash it and brush it. The wig costs $24.99 (+ shipping). You can check out MyeSouls other items at their website. This is a sponsored post from ...
Product Review – Magestical Jewlery
Disclosure: I got this product as part of an advertorial. I was recently sent a pair of earrings from Majestical Jewelry. Majestical Jewelry was started in Charleston, South Caroline with the goal of offering high-fashion pieces at affordable prices. The earrings I received were the Hoop Tortoise Shell. The earrings have a post back attached to a brass colored metal clip. The clip holds the loop, which has a tortoise shell look. They look nice and can be paired with a large number of outfits. My hair is short (pixie cut), so they really stand out. Also, I noticed that they were a bit heavy compared to what I normally wear…but there again I usually wear small earrings. Overall, I think that the earrings are very nice. They are a little heavier than what I normally wear, but not enough to keep me from wearing them. They are $9 (+ shipping), and you get free shipping if you spend $49.99 or more. You can check out their large selection of jewelry, which includes pearls, ...
Product Review – Doll Clothes Superstore
A few weeks ago, I got to pick out a set of matching girl and doll dresses from Doll Clothes Superstore. Doll Clothes Superstore makes clothing and accessories for a large number of popular dolls on the market, including American Girl, My Twinn & Barbie. My daughter has several small size baby dolls that she is just now starting to play with a bit, so I figured that she would love to have a matching outfit set. I wasn’t sure at first which size to get for the doll. The rep told me that the ‘baby doll’ size fits most dolls in the 15 inch size range. The ‘Cabbage patch’ size is slightly bigger & will fit dolls in the 15 to 18 size range. After taking a quick measure, I got the ‘baby doll’ size and a size 5 for the matching child dress. When the dresses arrived, we though they were absolutely beautiful. The doll dress fits on my daughter’s dolls perfectly, and she’s found that she can also put it on several of her smaller teddy bears too. The dress for her is a big ...
