Lugz Fall Shoes Review, and Promo: FALLBOGO !

Love, love, love, LOVEEEEE these shoes from Lugz.  Lugz has a new line called Laurel.  What made me want to try these beauties on were the soft, faux fur inner lining.  

As you can see, these are the Turquoise/Koi/Cream/Taupe Laurel Womens Shoes.  

Right now there is a Fall Buy 1 Get 1 50% Sale by using code:  FALLBOGO

I had a hard time choosing between the Turquoise, or the Amethyst.  Both are beautiful, vivid colors. I refuse to let the Gray skies of Ohios Fall/Winter bum me out, and bring a little color pop here, and there. I've been stopped by strangers in the store that ask me where I got my moccasins from.  It's that bright turquoise that make them unique, and why I really do love them so much.  I also have native american in me.  My great grandma was Choctaw Indian.  

Lugz Laurel also has a rubber traction outsole, so bring it winter! I walked around outside while it was a bit wet, with wet leaves on the ground, and the shoes suede survived. So did myself (meaning I did not fall, and break my tail bone.)

These retail for $29.99,  with the FALLBOGO sale, that ends 10/28/2013, You can get TWO pairs of the Laurels for $45ish plus Tax, & Free S/H. There are also some really nice mens Boots! 

Here are the Mens,  Lugz Drifters that my Hubby is enjoying, These are on sale for $59.99.

He's going to call me his rotten wife when he sees this photo I just posted.  I like it, ;D  But those are the Lugz Wheat/Cream Drifter Boots.  They are absolutely perfect for this weather.  Or for, tip toeing down the sidewalk.  He had to stop, and pose pretty for me.

Check Lugz out on Twitter, and Facebook! The great thing about social media.. You'll get updates about new products, and promotional codes.

School Of Wash Hand Made Hair & Body Spritz Review, in GreenTea & Lemon Grass.

You had me at Lemongrass & Greentea.  Not only did School Of Wash create Handmade Bath Products, like Hair and Body Spritz, but it is also Paraben-free, Talc-free, SLS-free, Sulfate-free, Sodium Chloride-free and no added colors or dyes.  I am totally a healthy hair snob, mainly because I donate my locks, and if it's not good enough for my hair, it's not good enough for my son's either.

The first thing I noticed about the spray, was the aluminum bottle.  As soon as I opened the box, I spritzed my hair, and face. Experienced a fine, cool mist on my face.  It's humid here lately, so it was highly welcomed, and much needed.  The scent of the Lemongrass & GreenTea Hair & Body Spritz genuinely compliments eachother perfectly without overpowering.   It's just a light, natural crisp aroma. The best I can explain the scent, is a sweet, earthy smell.  Some of the ingredients inside the spray itself are organic aloe juice, witch hazel, organic black willowbark extract, and tea tree essential oil. Since it passed my test, I decided to try it on my 2 year olds hair.  He has super fine strawberry blonde hair that he will twist, and knot up.  With the School Of Wash Spray It hasn't been a horrible task to keep his handsome locks straight. Great products like these just aren't for little girls.  I prefer products like these for my son.  It smells great, it does a superior job keeping his hair shiney, and knot free.  Plus he knows he's adoreable, and isn't stinky.

Bonus. School Of Wash can be for Her, Him, Kids, and Pets.  

There are literaly hundreds of different hand made scent variations to pick from School Of Wash. I am a sucker for leave in conditioners, and I find myself using SOW, and backburnered the others. I already want to try SOW's Cherry Almond, and then the Eucalyptus & Spearmint. Honestly, One of every smell I would probably squeal over, and baby my hair even more (I still haven't cut it yet this year to donate to locks of love!! I am going to soon. This will be my 5th time donating since Fracturing my leg.  I figured since I have cadavers, and an ORIF in my leg, the most I can do is donate my hair to someone that needs it, someone donated their bones so I can still walk. I'll keep donating my hair til that day comes I can give more too.)

I honestly spritz my face, and hair before leaving the house into this heat.  

School Of Wash has earned a Label on my blog, as Holiday Gift Guide Worthy.  Well for any time of the year too, but if anyone wants to know what to get me, or to donate one to someone in need?? THIS! This would be great!  For more info on how to donate to A Little Sunshine In A Bottle, to help The organization, Lily Pad, whom provides a 24-hour crisis line, forensic interviews, forensic exams and evidence collection, medical accompaniment, legal advocacy and support groups for victims and their families. , you can read it here on School Of Wash's page.  Everything behind this company is admireable.  It's unreal that this was created by love, and wanting to share at camp, to now this.  

I received product to facilitate a review.  The Product does say external use only, and keep out of reach of children, which is normal.  That just means don't let the kiddo drink it, or rub it in membranes that shouldn't have anything irritable in, 'nuff said.

Don't forget to check out School Of Wash at SchoolOfWash.com, Facebook, and Twitter.  Think you've tried a lot of differen't hair, and body spritz,  browse through their drop down menus for scents, and I bet there's atleast 100 varations you haven't tried yet.

Dragon & Phoenix Filtering Tea Mug, and Cherry Almond Black Tea Review. EnjoyingTea.com

I have always been a huge fan of tea.  A good cup of tea helps me de-stress myself.  Even at a young age, I would drink Tea with some of my Aunts.  It was our thing to do.  Over the years, I would much rather drink Tea, than Sodas too.  It's just what I love.  A lot don't know this, but the Green in my blog name is for Green Tea.  Vics is for my Son's name.  Two things that I love more than anything.

I discovered EnjoyingTea.com, and just had to try some of their loose leaf teas.  Since it was my husbands, and I's anniversary I thought a matching set of the Dragon & Phoenix Filtering Tea Mugs would be ideal. They are! The pictures online do not do the cups justice.  They are beautiful.  I actually have a dragon tattoo, so I'm a little biased when it comes to them.  I think we all need a little power, good fortune, and luck.  The Phoenix is just as iconic, and full of meaning.  As for life, we are all knocked down, and want to rise from our own ashes.  That is what life is,  things happen, you do everything you can to overcome it, and move on.  

The above video I took to show just how easy it is to brew your own cup of tea.  Nothing special to do. Just add the tea, pour hot water over the tea, put the lid on, and let it steep.  The lids themself help steep the tea faster, and keeps it hot for longer.  Not all mugs have that, or the removeable filter.  In the video I show how beautiful the tea turns out once the filter is lifted up.  You can also see how none of the loose leaf tea even gets into the brewed tea itself.  These Dragon & Phoenix mugs retail for under $10.00.  Each Mug is sold seperately, one side is a dragon, and the other side is a pheonix that wraps around the mugs.  If mythical beings aren't your thing, there are other designs for the filtering tea mugs.

I really enjoyed the Cherry Almond Black loose leaf tea.  There are pieces of sliced almonds, and dried cherries through out the tea itself.  I was impressed with the quality, and the smell of the tea as soon as I even opened the tin lid's, and even more so once the tea started to steep.  I am also going to try the Liche Green Tea, and Japanese Green Tea.  I drink green tea mostly, so I wanted to try the Cherry Almond Black Tea first.  Both myself, and my husband thought the tea was strong (just the way we like it, you should be able to taste the tea.) and went down smoothely.  I could taste the almond, and cherry, gave it a nice extra sweetness that the stevia sugar I used in it amplified.  I also like a little fat free milk in my tea.  I'm ready for another cup.

There will also be a giveaway for a Smart Tea Maker, and 4 ounces of the winners choice of tea! So make sure you come back to check that out.  I promise you, you will not be dissapointed!

Harvey Prince Anti-Aging Perfume™ Review. Smell as young as you feel.

Who really wants to age? No one! With that being said, who really wants to smell old and musky either?? No one! I personally don't like perfumes that are too musky, and deep when one note overpowers the other. I'm a huge fan of perfume that plays off the skins natural chemistry.  Since our chemistry is natural, wouldn't it make more sense for companies to use natural oils too? You would think?  That is exactly what Harvey Prince has conjured up.  A perfume that has the anti-oxidant quality in grapefruits, and other natural oils.

I've had the enjoyment of tantalizing the senses with Ageless, the Anti-Aging Perfume™. My favorite thing about this perfume is, depending on myself, and my skin, I swear the scents change on me. Some days I can smell the grapefruit more, and other days I can really pick up the cherry blossom & vanilla. There are a ton of other notes that surprise me too. The notes are: pink grapefruit, pineapple, mango, apple, leafy green, pomegranate, jasmin, lily of the valley, cherry blossom, peony, soft musk, precious woods, and vanilla. Most just makes me hungry! It does smell delicious on the skin.  I am completely a creature of impulse, and feeling. I like my perfume to reflect that too. I have not met a Harvey Prince scent that I did not like! Or better yet, that did not like my skin.

Today is my birthday.  In celebration of turning 31, and the wonderful Harvey Prince, 5 of you have the chance to try Ageless too.  Go here to enter the giveaway! Thank you for the support! Giveaways are only fun when people enter! So, thank you for entering. <3

Harvey Prince Submariner Review (Natural Light Blue Aquatic Spray.)

Harvey Prince creates some of my favorite Natural Sprays.  If you've never heard of Harvey Prince, you should really try them out.  At first they started making Perfume for their Mom, a better alternative than the scents that were out there, and harsh on the skin.

Recently they started a mens scent called Submariner.  It's a light blue spray with aquadic notes.  I have bought my hubby other blue scents before from other colognes, but none of them have ever been Natural like Harvey Prince.  The notes are, Citrus, Nutmeg, Amber, Tonka, and Blonde Woods. Nothing is overpowering, or too musky.

I asked my husband what he thought about Submariner, and he said, "Effortless natural essence of a man." He likes the scent, and wears it before leaving for work.  It also lasts all day too.

Sometimes I come downstairs after he leaves for work, and I smell it in the air still.  Makes me miss him.

Even if they started off just doing scents for women, they have created something manly, and not overpowering with Submariner too.  I can't wait to see what other eco-friendly scents Harvey Prince comes up with.

Build-A-Bear Workshop Color Popz! Jazzy Frog! Check out his cool shades!

We've turned into such the Build-A-Bear Workshop loving family!  To where, I am always on the look out for what is new in stores, and what promos they have on the website now.  The cool thing about Build-A-Bear, even if you don't have a kid, you can still have your own! No matter at what age you are.  Personally, my favorites are the Hello Kittys.  My son, loves the Bunnies, and Frogs.  My husband, keeps it old school, and is a fan of the Curly Bear.  I'm sure something else will come out, and I'll adore that too.  

We recently received the 18" Jazzy Frog that is in the new  Build-A-Bear Color Popz Line to review! He comes with some retro green shades.  My son never cared for Sun glasses before, but when his Cool dude Jazzy came, he started wearing sun glasses too. Love, love, love how playful the Color Popz collection is!! We call him his Jazzy Fresh Frog.   I really believe Jazzy matches Sy's personality! Bright, Playful, and just completely AWESOME.  They also have matching summer sandals.  

If you've never been to a Build-A-Bear, you can also go online to www.buildabear.com, and find some great deals that way too.  After chosing what member you want to adopt into your family (comes with birth certificate too.) you also have the option to "Dress Me" next to the "Add To Basket" button.  Which makes it extremely easy to find an outfit for your personal style.  I also like the fact that there are Sales too! So make sure to check out the Sale Den for 20-50% off Sales.

Beehive Cheese Co. Review, Perfect Gift for that Cheese Loving Foodie.

We are a cheese loving family.  We are just starting to get back into doing "Cheese of the Week." We used to do this every week before Sy was born. We did it with Wine also.  So when I tried Beehive Cheese Co. recently, I immediately emailed the company to praise them on the quality of the cheese.  I don't think enough companies get positive feedback when deserved.

The moment I bit into the cheese, I may have started talking dirty to it.  The cheese is THAT good.  The sampler pack I received to review had four different cheeses.

Big John Cajun (Secret Cajun Recipe),Seahive (Real Seasalt & Wildflower honey), Teahive (with Black Tea & Bergamot), and Barely buzzed (Espresso, need I say more? I had tried the Barely Buzzed before, and that is what made me contact the company) are all worthy of experiencing.  Great texture on the tongue, easy to serve.  The tastes are simply amazing.

I prefer the spicy blends.  I also really like the Jams that come with some of the Gift Sets.  I've bought my hubby the set before, and that's how I found out about Beehive Cheese Co.  I like to buy him things he's never tried before, that he can eat instead of a gift that will just collect dust in the closet.  He ate the Hot Blooded Orange Jam on everything.  

Beehive Cheese Co. hand crafts their cheeses, and I can honestly say  that it is seen, and tasted in the cheese itself.  I was impressed by how fast it was shipped, and was delivered in a shipping cooler with ice.

Don't forget to give Beehive Cheese Co. some love on their social medias, 

Like Beehive Cheese Co On Facebook, Follow Beehive Cheese Co Twitter, and check out Beehive Cheese Co's website: www.beehivecheese.com to drool over all the other unique flavors.  I wish I lived near their shop in Utah because I would be there daily, sampling, and taking photos.  Some people dream of Gold, I dream of a cheese shop.  For everyone else tho,  find a retailer near you, or shop online for Beehive Cheeses.

NeoCell Beauty Bursts Gourmet Collagen Soft Chews Review

I am a huge fan of these NeoCell Beauty Bursts Gourmet Collagen Soft Chews.  Not only do they taste great.  They are sweet like Fruit Punch.  Some chews that are packed full of vitamins are gritty, and leave a weird after taste.  These do not have that problem.  Like a regular chew it disolves quickly while chewing, and the taste really is a nice treat when you are counting calories, and exercising.  Not only do I get extra vitamins, collagen (skin rebuilders.) and, Skin Hydration, I also get a sweet treat.  My hair, nails, and skin have all benefited from using this the past month.  My nails I notice the most.  I am a nail biter, and they are growing pretty fast before I even have a chance to bite them.

There are 2,000 milligrams of Collagen in each Chew.  If you'd like to learn more about Neo Cells Beauty Bursts, you can read it by going clicking here.

Disclaimer: I received these items for free.  All opinions are my own. My overall impression of these chews were a positive one.  I turn 31 soon, and I am willing to try any supplements that will help my skin, nails, and hair as I lose this weight.  I have lost over 30 lbs since last July, and I am doing it the slow, but surely way.  Nothing is over night!! Just have to stick to a routine.  And, these chews have been in my routine for the last month.

These Mothers Day Lockets from Pictures On Gold are perfect.  I love mine!  Mine has my son, and I.  Then the inside is etched with his name, and birthday.  My favorite tho is the etched photo of us.  He just turned 2, and he may look angelic at times til he becomes hopping mad. Lol!

Creating the locket is as simple as using their Design Your Own Locket app.  It's a very cool website.  I love how easy it is to get something customized.  These are personal, photos of your family. Plus how sweet would it be to have the little ones help with the design process of the locket.  Then when they give  Mommy the gift, they can tell her all how they helped design it.  I would be beyond proud of my little man, and husband for thinking about me like that.  I still have the first Mothers Day card that my husband made our Son "write" his name, haha it's just a bunch of lines, but I love it so much.  This, and some flowers would totally make my day.

It was shipped to me within a couple of days!  In a very beautiful black jewelry box that has a black bow on the front too.

Mothers Day Potted Yellow Rose Review

Disclaimer: I received Products for free to facilitate a review.  All opinions are my own.

I am a huge fan of plants.  Especially ones delivered to me? Alive?? That aren't cut!! I absolutely adore.  Don't get me wrong, I love beautiful fresh cut flowers too, but to me.. the love behind getting something with roots.. is by far the best.  These were delivered to me from ProFlowers.

While browsing the flowers, I kept asking my 2 year old "What flowers do you want to pick out for Mommy?" While all the plants were beautiful, the selection of Mothers Day Plants is huge.

The  hard part really is choosing which one I liked the most!  I really wanted an Orchid too but I didn't know how that would turn out with grabby little toddler hands.  I still would love one! *hint hint anyone that reads this that loves me, hahaha*

Ordering was extremely easy.    After falling for the Potted Yellow Roses I then had the choose which container I wanted.  I could have just got the container it came with that was free with the plant.  Tho, soon as I saw the yellow roses, with the Victorian Tin I just had to have that one.
Check out was easy, I chose 3 days from the order date to have it shipped.  It costs more to ship the next day, and on weekends.  I'm fine with a few days.  To me that is fast! Shipping is usually around $15.00, but keep into consideration, you are picking when you want it shipped (shipping prices vary.) Mine were mailed fast and I didn't pay the extra for rush.

 It also comes with a care instruction card.  First was to take the packing moss out, and give the plant some water.  I sat mine on the counter where it would get some direct light.

Seriously, start to browse, and I am sure there are a few you'd want for your home, and to give as gifts.  It was actually my cousin Liz's birthday this month.  Since I didn't get myself the Orchid, I bought Liz the Teacup Orchid with Chocolates.  That's how beautiful I think these gifts really are.  It was delivered to her in Baltimore, Md the day before her birthday (I chose that day!)

When I bought my cousin her birthday gift, I found some coupon codes right on the website to use for RedEnvelope Coupons.  Or try google searches, even searches on RetailMeNot.com.  I signed up for the emails, and I get % off codes that way too.

Disclaimer.  I received the Potted Yellow Roses for free from RedEnvelope to review.  All opinions are my own.  My personal experience with this company is a great one.  When it is something I really do like, I will buy from later on, and share with family, and friends.  To me, that is what life is about.  My roses made me happy, and the orchids I sent my cousin made her happy, and cry because I'm in Ohio, and shes in Maryland.  We miss eachother, but I know she loves plants too.

MailPix.com Review & Keepsake Box Giveaway!

Mailpix.com makes it easy to customize various things.  Mailpix's motto is to turn photos into memories.  I'm not the awesome, scrap book mama that prints, and gets photos taken throughout the year.  But, what I do is take the pictures myself, then I like to customize things all at once at the end of the year.  Instead of filling out a baby book for my son, I make my own custom photo book that I can edit the images, add text, change the background, and colors to my standards.  

In December I had a wooden keepsake box with my husband, and son's picture on the front of the box made.  I also had them print all the photos I have been saving on my flash drives.  I found some great promotional codes online for Mailpix that gave me 100 prints free!  

Some of my favorite items were the Snow Flake ornaments with my family on them.  We are states away but now I can have them on my Christmas Tree.  The photo that I love the most is the one that my dad is dressed up as Santa. 

I found the prices extremely affordable, and I really liked the products I was sent to review ( I received a credit for free, I then used that credit, and customized what I really wanted.) Just like any custom photo project make sure to use a high resolution image, also dark photos do not turn out good on any print.  

Use code VALENTINE for 50% off til 1/31/2013, no purchase neccessary to enter! 

They customize so many different, quality items that you should check them out for yourself.  They are also on Facebook, Pinterest and Twitter.  Want to know Mailpix a little better.. you can always go to their Blog!

StarLooks December 2012 Monthly Subscription Happy Holidays! Box Review

Review by Life According To GreenVics




December was a generous, and beautiful month for Starlooks.com, Starbox!  When I thought the boxes could not possibly get any better than the last.. they did! I am always surprised by the quantity, and quality received.

This 15 pallet has a mixture of matte, and shimmer colors.  Usually I stay away from shimmer, but since this monthly box to me is all about trying products outside my comfort zone I tried the shimmery pinks, and greens.

Starlooks.com monthly subscription boxes can be purchased for $15.00/month, and can even be gifted.  If there is a month you didn't purchase, and would like to try,  you still can!!  Oh.. and shipping is FREE.

What I really enjoy about StarLooks is that I'm just your average 30 year old American Mom.  Sometimes I don't feel "pretty", so it really is nice to have a monthly box that is worth the $15.00, every product they send are full sizes, and top quality.  Usually they send 3-4 items.  Decembers box was retailed at $99! The eye shadow set was huge! ( It did not cost $99.00, December it was only $15.00!)

Check out my Reviews for Starlooks September, October & November Boxes! Even as I look through past reviews I can personally tell that I am getting better at doing my own make up.  This box is playful, and I can't express how much I love that without going..

Nickelodeon 2012 Holiday Gift Guide: Dora, Bubble Guppies, Team UmiZoomi

Life According To GreenVics 2012 Holiday Gift Guide, Nick.com

My two year old is a total Nick Jr fan.  Because of his Dora The Explorer love, one of his first words were Backpack. Which I found super cute.  This is the Dora Deluxe Bin Organizer.  SRP $44.99. It's bright, colorful, and extremely playful.  We embrace all spectrum of colors in this family, there is no "girls/boys" only items. The organizer was easy to set up, and his room looks so much better.

Bubble Guppies Gil & Molly!

I am even guilty of getting the Bubble Guppies Theme Song stuck in my head.  These are the Bubble Guppies Gil & Molly plush characters SRP $12.99.  They are 7" tall, extremely soft.  If you've never seen Bubble Guppies, they teach math, literacy, and they sing/dance.

"Come discover the vibrant 3D underwater world of a group of diverse preschoolers with colorful fish tails in the DVD, Bubble Guppies. Set to a soundtrack of catchy pop songs, Bubble Guppies infuses the core elements of kindergarten readiness, including: math, literacy, the arts, science and socio-emotional development. The DVD features a special double-length episode, “Bubble Puppy’s Fin-Tastic Fairytale,” guest-starring Wanda Sykes. In addition, families can enjoy two extra Bubble Guppies episodes and DVD exclusive special features, including a “Create Your Own Bubble Guppy” game, karaoke music videos and a jukebox song selection. DVD Running Time: Approximately 88 Minutes Special Features: • “Create Your Own Bubble Guppy” DVD Game • 2 Karaoke Music Videos “Fairytale Pop Song” “I’m So Mean” (Wanda Sykes) • Juke Box Song Selection SRP $16.99"

The Team UmiZoomi Come & Get Us! Counting UmiCar  SRP $34.99.  This is the cutest remote control toddler car.  It goes forward, and back.  It also talks, and is really easy to use.  My little man loves it.  I just keep asking him "where are you going?" and he giggles! 

These are my favorite types of reviews! Thank you Nick.com for such fantastic samples.  I received these to review.  Sy just turned 2, and he has been loving his Nickelodeon.  I watched it when I was younger, and now he has his own shows to get into.  He dances a lot, and has so much personality.
