Blog Mania '11 Sponsor- Amy Cornwell Designs

As a woman, mom, sister, friend, and daughter I absolutely love jewelry that is given from the ♥. When I came across Amy Cornwell Designs I was super excited to not only purchase her items for myself but for others as gifts. To me there is nothing better than receiving a gift from someone who has put a lot of thought into the gift they are giving and nothing better than buying from someone who loves what they do!

Amy is a married mother of two. She started her love of jewelry making in the 1990's but it wasn't until 2003 that she attended  jewelry party and decided that she could make the items herself. She then started having home shows and in 2004 made it official-she licensed her business with the IRS and eventually opened her store at AmyCornwell.com she was selling beaded jewelry and metal tins. She started a meta lsmithing class in 2005 to expand her craft and in 2007 decided to try stamped jewelry and this is where her business really took off. Christmas 2009 was the first year she needed assistants to help her get through the busy season of processing and shipping orders daily. In 2010 Amy started doing more metalsmithing work with soldering and more complex pieces. She hired her first employee in 2010 as well.

Amy's Heirloom Collection is a grouping of pieces that are just that 'Heirloom Pieces.' You can buy one for your grandmother, mother, daughter, sister, friend and know that it is going to last and be treasured for years to come. Not only are Amy's pieces customizable but affordable for every budget.
Amy has a wide variety of beautiful pieces to choose from whether your planning a wedding, need a gift for the special man in your life or want to pamper yourself because you deserve it, you can find it or Amy can design it!

Amy is a very giving person, she has an awesome blog where she showcases her newest designs as well as very talented people from around blog land and some tutorials of her own. It's also where she shares her space, her life and love for her family.

I am really excited that Amy Cornwell Designs is one of the sponsors for Blog Mania '11 and one lucky Ma21cuteboy reader will win a $25 gift certificate to spend at Amy's online store!!

Spring Parties...

With Spring comes parties, bachelorette parties, and bridal showers. We often contemplate what type of gift to give and most of the time it is something that we thought would be more fun than functional.
                

EdenFantasys is a website that will help you get the gift for your parties or for yourself that you've longed to have! I love to get my friends and family a special something that they can use and wear all of the time.
EdenFantasys has a great selection of lingerie whether your buying for yourself or a friend you can get some of the cutest items!

Apothica.com Review + Giveaway

**CLOSED**

As women and especially mother's it's hard to find time for us! Let me introduce you to Apothica.com. Apothica.com is a place where you can 'Beautify for You!' Apothica.com is an online beauty boutique, which carries the finest selection of skin care, body care, aromatherapy, and cosmetic products on the market today, including the most natural, organic products available. They are dedicated to providing you with high quality products formulated to promote and enhance your natural beauty.

I received the Laura Gellar Baked and Beautiful Kit. The kit contains Spackle Under Make-Up Primer, Medium Balance-n-Bronze, Apricot Berry Blush-n-Brighten, Apricot Berry Dream Creams Lip Palette, Bewitching Bronze Eye Rimz, a lip brush, eye liner brush and a double ended application brush.
When I first tried the make up I didn't realize that you had to be pretty light-haded with the application. I looked like Snooki!!

Laura Gellar is a true innovator in the world of cosmetics. Her interest in makeup bagan at an early age and translated into a career as one of the industry's top makeup artists. Operating under the idea that women wanting to look their best doesn't necessairily mean following the latest trends, Gellar creates products with inviting and wearable colors.
By pioneering a new category in makeup with her 'Baked' collection, Gellar's line of cosmetics has an almost cult-like following. Baking saturated colors in terrecotta pans for 24 hours creates rich textures and breathable coverage. It has a marbled effect and is able to be used on so many different skin tones and textures. Laura Gellar cosmetics is unique and will leave you with a glowing and smooth complexion.

Once I got the hang of how to apply the makeup I thought, 'I am a pro!' I can do this! I'm able to apply it in less than 5 minutes and as a busy mom and full time student that is very important to me. One of the most amazing things that I loved about the Laura Gellar makeup was the users guide that was included in my kit.

There were tips and suggestions on how to apply each piece of the kit. For someone who only wore mascara this was very beneficial, useful, and very handy. Because of the baking and marbled effect you can mix and match pieces, so your able to use the Balance-n-Bronze as eye shadow or as another eyeliner. Your really getting the best bang for your buck with these items.

Apothica not only carries Laura Gellar, Napoleon Perdis, Becca Makeup, Hourglass Cosmetics, and Oscar Blandi as well as many other favorite brands!
