Jamison Parker Designs Review

If you know me, you know I'm a girly girl.  I enjoy dressing up and of course shopping for new clothes, shoes, and accessories.  I can't imagine not being interested in fashion, it's who I am.  While a cute new outfit is important to me, it's imperative to pair it with a totally cute bag. Clutches are easiest to bring for a night out on the town.  Don't forget to throw some money and your lipgloss in there too.  When's the last time you treated yourself to an awesome clutch?



Jamison Parker is best known for their stylish and desirably priced handbags.  They offer women's accessories online and in retail locations across the US.  I believe Jamison Parker is handbag heaven for all women! Whether you're looking for a clutch, satchel, shoulder bag, tote, or wallet and wristlet, this is certainly your go-to place for all hand bags.  The bags come in all different colors and sizes and are ready to be used for a fun day or night out.  If you're looking for a gift for a friend or relative who is big into fashion, Jamison Parker would be your best bet.  Why not treat yourself too?

I've always been big into leopard.  I own many leopard items including jackets, blazers, and shoes.  When I had the opportunity to review a bag from Jamison Parker, I jumped at the opportunity.  What girl doesn't want to add another purse to her closet? I know my closet even smiled at the thought of it.  After I noticed that there were leopard bags available, I knew I had to choose one.  I ended up selecting the Mary Gold Leopard Print Clutch. I think my favorite part about the bag is how oversized it is.

This sleek and sophisticated clutch is sure to bring out your bold style.  The slim interior and zipper closure allows you to carry everything securely.  Pair this with your favorite LBD and you're set for a fun night! 

I absolutely love this clutch.  The oversized stature of this clutch makes it very easy to carry underneath my arm if I don't want to hold it.  The black and tan colors are bright and vivid and really stand out.  A unique feature of this clutch is how it opens.  If you notice from the picture above that the clutch opens from an angle rather than straight across.  I think this is different and very interesting.  It's very roomy inside and you could hold virtually anything you could want such as keys, lipgloss, money, credit card, your phone, etc.  I do believe this is the roomiest clutch that I've ever encountered.  It seems to be made very well and durable.  I can't wait to use it, and I'm already planning on taking it out for a date night with my husband, or a fun night with my friends.  I'm sure I'll be using it for some time to come.

If you're looking for beautiful purses to delight your arm and closet with, I highly recommend Jamison Parker Designs.  

*DISCLOSURE* I received a complimentary clutch in exchange for this review.  All thoughts are my own.

Crane Review and Giveaway

Your home should be a haven of rest, relaxation, and comfort.  You should ensure that is not only warm and inviting, but a true reflection of your personality.  I believe it's essential to keep one's home as clean and sanitary as possible, and that starts with the air.  Ensuring cleaner air moisture for easier breathing is beneficial to not only you, but your guests as well.  Why not introduce an air purifier or humidifier into your home? Your lungs will thank you.



Crane offers home appliances that range from ultrasonic cool mist humidifiers and air purifiers, to space heaters and fans.  Crane also provides nightlights as well.  I most recognize Crane for their adorable animal shaped humidifiers such as a duck, puppy, or cow.  A humidifier would be excellent to put in a baby or child's room to help them sleep better especially if they are sick.  Your living room or bedroom would be the perfect place for a space heater come next winter, but for right now a fan would be an ideal choice since temps are heating up.  Don't forget to put a nightlight in your bathroom so you're not fumbling for the light switch in the dark.  If you know someone who's moving into a new house, an air purifier or space heater would make a wonderful present.

I was sent the adorable Daphnie the Duck Cool Mist Humidifier.  This duck shaped humidifier offers ultrasonic cool mist operation, while increasing air moisture for easier breathing and a good night's sleep.  A bonus feature is that it also relieves cold, cough, and flu symptoms.
Hi.  Not only am I cute, I'll help you to feel better too.  Quack!

Why buy a plain, solid colored humidifier when you can buy one shaped like a duck? The adorable duck like features of this unit is just too much for me! The bill and feet are a bright orange while the body is a vivid yellow, perfectly representative of a duck.  

The unit was very easy to initially plug in and fill up.  The water reservoir easily locatable and it holds 1 gallon of water that runs whisper quiet for up to 24 hours.  The great thing is that it does not require a filter so there's nothing to change or clean.

I initially wanted a humidifier because I'm getting over a cold.  I have trouble breathing sometimes because my nose is so stuffed up, which is not fun.  I ran the humidifier and it helped me breathe easier and more efficiently.  I stood near it and breathed in deeply.  I could tell it was working.   Not only did I feel like I could breathe better soon after, it truly was whisper quiet! I liked the cool mist that came out of the duck's mouth which helps if your air is dry.  You can raise the amount of mist by controlling the dial near the duck's feet.  I will be running the humidifier all night tonight to ensure I get a restful night's sleep.

I will be certainly using this anytime I have a cold or sinus issues in the near future.  I highly recommend a humidifier, you will wonder how you got through a cold without one.

Three Dog Bakery Review and Giveaway

To say my dog Carolyn loves treats is an understatement.  She eats, sleeps, and breathes treats.  I can assure you that when she's awake she's plotting of how to get more yummies, and when she's sleeping she's dreaming about them.  Carolyn does not discriminate against treats but loves them all, maybe even too much.  If you show her a bag of treats she will whine and cry and try to rip the bag from your fingers.  Why not make your dog the happiest pup on the block and regularly indulge them in new treats?



Three Dog Bakery is truly what dogs dream of.  Since 1989, the bakery has been selling all-natural dog and puppy treats, food, biscuits, and gifts.  You can rest easy knowing the delectable treats are made with only quality and wholesome ingredients.  Your dog will go woofin' crazy for treats such as classic peanut wafers, pup-kin spiced lattes, strawberry cremes or vanilla wafers too.  Go ahead and delight your dogs taste buds with flavored biscuits like cheese or apples and oats.  If your dog's birthday is coming up, it would be a fabulous idea to buy them some treats for their special day.  

Carolyn was lucky enough to receive a bag of Blueberry Muffin Wafers and Strawberry Cremes.  She doesn't receive much mail so when I told her a package had come for her she was very excited.  I set the package down for her and she sniffed it and wagged her tail like crazy.  Her iris's went away and were replaced with treats.  I couldn't let her it in suspense any longer! Once the package was open she asked to have all of the treats right away but I told her that moderation is key.

Look at these adorable blueberry muffin shaped treats.  These classic soft baked vanilla wafers have been packed full of healthy, anti-oxidant rich blueberry bits.  Not only are they loved by dogs, but I absolutely love the packaging too.  The bakery bag that is finished off with a blue gingham ribbon is too cute.  Carolyn has a message to all other dogs, back away from my treats.  

Luckily, these treats aren't as large as a full-sized blueberry muffin so I know it wouldn't be too much for Carolyn.  The small, bite-sized treat is ideal for her.  I also initially gave her this treat first because she is obsessed with blueberries and will go through a whole container if left to her own devices.  As soon as I opened the bag she went nuts.  

As you can see, she wastes no time trying to grab it! I wish this picture of her wasn't blurry, but there is no time for her to be calm around treats. 

She absolutely adored the blueberry muffin treat.  She ate it instantly and looked at me for more.  She was wagging her tail and licking her lips after so I knew she really loved it.  I think the soft, fresh-baked taste appealed to her, especially since she is used to hard and crunchy treats.  Not only does my dog love the treat, but I love the fact that the blueberries are real and the ingredients are wholesome and good for my baby girl.

How cute is the Strawberry Cremes container? It looks like the carton a pound of raspberries come in from the farmers market! These yummy, all-natural, oven-baked treats are ripe with flavor.  The best thing is that they are made with real strawberries and creme, and taste as good as they smell.  I bet your dog can't eat just one.

I'm not sure if Carolyn has ever tasted a strawberry before, so I wasn't sure what she would make of these.  The treats sure are cute, with their red star shape.  As soon as I went to give her one, I wasn't sure why I initially questioned if she would like the treat or not.  Who am I kidding?

MOOOOM! I can't wait another second!

You know what I see from the above picture? My dog has no patience and I am one second away from losing my hand.  Carolyn gobbled this treat up with no problem.  The treats are small and perfect for her size.  She was in love with it and afterwards cried for more! Strawberries are one of my favorite fruits, so like mother like daughter.  I think this treat is now her new favorite and I'll be happy to give it to her regularly.  

Go ahead and surf on over to Three Dog Bakery to order some yummies for your furry friend.  I can guarantee they'll love you for it!
