I fell in love iwth this brand the second I saw the first product from them....their tote that reads "Another F*cking Tote". Yep...because really, how many totes do we all own, and did you ever notice that it seems like at least 3 times a year you get a free one.... and you think ANOTHER REALLY!? Well the brand really is called Another Fucking Tote. In addition to gift boxes, cards, to-do lists, totes, and

I love this tote. First of all the gold lettering is a big hit for me but it's actually a nice sturdy tote and makes quite the statement. I love making statements with fashion whether it's jewelry, clothing, or accessories. And the best part about these totes is that they make a GREAT and hilarious Christmas gift for pretty much any woman on your list. And if you need to censor things, you can always get fabric tape to censor it out which makes it an even more interesting statement accessory! Add this to your Christmas list ASAP, or even use it as a gift bag for your recipient's gifts!!

Use Cardstore for Your Holiday Greetings #Sponsored #MC

I participated in an Ambassador Program on behalf of Mom Central Consulting (#MC) for Cardstore. I received complimentary cards and a promotional item as a thank you for participating.

There's literally a month left till Christmas so I'm already getting started with everything that needs done.  Every year I always make a holiday to-do list and I make sure everything gets crossed off as soon as possible.  It's kind of like a game for me.    

So what's on my list?  Well...

1. Decide what I want my cards to look like. 

2. mail out my cards 

3. Get all of my shopping lists ready

4. SHOP!

5. Wrap everything. 

6. Take the dogs to go see Santa. 

7. Make Christmas cookies for work.

8. Make Christmas cookies for home. 

Since I'm living back at my parents for now, it will be a bit more convenient to be here for Christmas Dinner.   I'm super excited though! 

But since I still have some time before then,  my main focus is on my cards.   Then I'll worry about my gifts. 

With Christmas Cards I like it to be some sort of a photographic gift to my loved ones.... which is why I love to include a photo on it.  

That's where Cardstore helped me this year.   Cardstore removes all the hassle out of mailing and making your cards.  You can create your own custom card with personalized pictures and text and then Cardstore prints it for you and even stamps and sends the cards for you.  

It's so easy to use.   Seriously, try making your own personalized card!


Ready to see mine....

How cute is that?! 

It was really cool to see all the different borders, text styles, and ideas for cards. It was pretty easy to size my picture so that it fits just right. The cards were delivered within like 3 days and they are nice and sturdy and the picture came out so clear! I already started labeling the envelopes. This is such a huge relief. Definitely will be getting all my cards from Cardstore in the future!!! I highly recommend it!
Psstttt...Check out these Cardstore Promotions and Discounts!

Up through tomorrow (11/26) you can get 30% off holiday cards!!!

So get on their website ASAP, upload a great picture and get ready to check the Holiday Card box off on your To Do List!! It's a great feeling, I promise!

5 Ways the Covet Fashion App is Good for Shopping and Fashion Addictions

So when I was at LuckyFABB last month I discovered the most amazing fashion app ever for my iPhone. It's called Covet and it's basically an opportunity for you to build a wardrobe, style different looks, enter into contests to get cash (for more clothing) and tickets (to enter into events), and vote on other's looks!! The best part about it is that it's actual items that are currently sold by actual brands and designers such as Kill City, Hudson, and more!!!

So here are 5 reasons why I love it and why you will too.

1. It gives me my shopping fix.

 Whether it's an item I can't afford in real life or just something I want to buy because it's cute, I can save my cash and purchase it in the app, all while saving money in real life!

2. It gives me outfit inspiration for my own closet.

I screen shot outfits I like even by other players and I seriously have seen a major improvement in the outfits I've been wearing in real life lately, mostly because I got inspiration from the app!

3. I discovered some new brands.

And I even discovered that some brands are more affordable than I once thought! I am now keeping my eye on some Kill City pieces that I saw on their real life website!

4. You get virtual cash for shopping when you refer friends!

Speaking of... if you use my link, you will get me cash and then I will be able to go to your closet, check out your looks and even hit the LIKE button on them!

5. You can win REAL LIFE PRIZES!

They hold little style challenges on the Covet Instagram page and they even have real life prizes offered in weekly challenges!!!
