eShakti Review and contest!!!

If I won a shopping spree, there is only one store I would be spending all my money and that is at eShakti. I am already trying to choose my next outfit to purchase. Maybe you could help me out. What are some of your favorite "Day Dresses" on eShakti?


About eShakti:
eShakti is a wonderful online clothing store. You will fall in love with their styles and their reasonable prices. My personal favorite thing about eShakti is the fact that you have the ability to customize your style. This includes the sleeves, neckline and length of your choice.

Eshakti is aware of all women and their individual shapes and sizes. For this reason they offer sizes from 0-26W as well as custom sizes. You can also find a wide variety of styles to choose from. This is to ensure that you will find that perfect casual outfit for the day and/or outfit for an elegant night out.

You also don't have to worry about how long it will take before your eShakti item arrives. All orders, even custom orders, will be shipped in 3 business days! This means in 9 days are less you will be able to show off your eShakti wear.

Review:
If you couldn't already tell, I am a huge fan of eShakti. I received my dress within 7 days and immediately put the dress I selected on. It was love at first site. I loved the color, I loved the soft high quality fabric and the fit was perfect. I felt the price of the dress was very reasonable. In fact, if I were to see it in a store, I would expect it to cost more than what the price asked on eShakti.

Bake Me A Wish review and giveaway!!! (CLOSED)

I heard about "Bake Me A Wish" a while back. I was very interested as to how it all worked and if the cake would even be edible by delivery. I contacted them in hopes to work with them on a review and finally I got my chance. Although I was a bit skeptical, I knew if everything went how Bake Me A Wish said, that this could be a wonderful resource for those who have loved ones far from home.

What is Bake Me A Wish?
Bake Me A Wish can Bake and send a cake to that special someone on any occasion. For many of us, we live apart from those we love and/or are close to. Maybe you have a son or daughter who went away to school and you are wondering how you can still surprise them with something special for Easter. Bake Me A Wish has made it possible for you to deliver a cake overnight and in great condition.
"Each cake is made with the finest, freshest
ingredients by an award-winning family run New York bakery that also supplies pastries to some of Manhattan's most elite restaurants".


Review:
With Easter coming up, Bake Me A Wish sent my family and I the Chocolate Mousse Torte. I am a huge chocolate fan and knew this would be the perfect cake for me to test out. I was told I would be receiving my cake on Wed. and sure enough, the cake was delivered on time! The box was marked to let the delivery man know how to handle it. Once I opened the box I noticed the careful thought that was put into packaging. There was a separate styrofoam box with a lid and inside that was a was an ice pack. The ice pack was still frozen and the whole box was very cool inside. Underneath the ice pack was a cover to protect the beautifully decorative box which held the cake. Everything was very tightly packed and kept the cake very cold. The cake itself looked like it was just made. I chose to freeze my cake and save it for the next week.


Now for the big question, "How did it taste"? "FANTASTIC". I loved the cake. It was so rich and fresh tasting. My kids would have eaten the whole cake if I would have let them, but they had to share with mom :0) Even the plaque which said, "Happy Easter" was edible and made from imported Belgian chocolate.

Operation: Birthday Cake
I was really impressed that Bake Me A Wish had made a way possible to send a few of their selected cakes to soldiers overseas. I have both a brother and sister-in-law who are in the military and air-force, living overseas. Bake Me A Wish also donates 5% of it's online revenue to this cause. You can learn more about Operation: Birthday Cake at their site.

I'm Back!

Finally I am back after a nice long week vacation. It was my sons birthday and somehow I managed to talk my husband into celebrating his birthday at Disneyland. I don't know how I did it, but I I have to admit that I was pretty impressed at myself ;0) We attempted the same trip a couple of years ago and let's just say that the trip did not go as planned. My son and daughter cried the whole drive there and back and my husband swore he would never go to disneyland again.

I love my family and sometimes you just need that time to focus only on them. This last week was wonderful and my children loved Disneyland. I even think my hubby enjoyed it even a little. Although he will never admit it!

Now I am back to reality and also have some fun giveaways ready to go this week. I can't wait to share them with you.

Mr. Linky Friday!!!

Where did the week go? I swear this week went by faster than most. I look forward to the weekend though and to a nice break next week. Yes, next week may be a little slow as I have allot going on, but I will get back on track the week after. I will try to update things, but no promises as sometimes a girl just needs some time away from her computer ;0).

Don't forget about the Curious Chef giveaway for the 3 knife set. This is the perfect gift for a child who loves to help around in the kitchen. All of Curious Chef utensils are kids friendly and mother approved!

Curious Chef Giveaway Ends 3/16

Now to test your luck in other great giveaways around the bloggersphere! Good luck!

Curious Chef CLOSED

My children are always begging me to let them help in the kitchen. I love knowing they enjoy helping, but worry when I am not always using kid friendly utensils. This sometimes makes cooking with them frustrating or unsafe. I was so excited when I happened upon the Curious Chef's site. Curious Chef has several products and kits for you and your children to enjoy together. All the utensils are made for children and their little hands as well as safe. Curious Chef Knife's are nylon and made with a serrated cutting edge with blunt tip.

Curious Chef was generous enough to offer me the "15 Pc Pizza Party Kit" to review. This was perfect timing as my sons birthday was coming up. We are planning on taking him to Disneyland for his birthday so I though the Pizza Party Kit would give him a great opportunity to celebrate with his closest friends. So he chose two friends to invite over and we got all ready to become pizza chefs!



Review:


This was by far one of my favorite reviews. My kids and their friends had so much fun. The utensils were very easy for them to use and I was even surprised how well the nylon knife worked. They each had a turn to cut olives and my 4, almost 5 year old, had no problem cutting them. The Pizza Party kit was so perfect for a birthday celebration and could be used for sleepovers as well as indoor activities for kids.

I think my children and mine favorite utensil was the rolling pin. It is so perfect for kids. It isn't too big and not too heavy. It worked so well when rolling out the dough. If you are looking for a roller for your children, I would recommend the Curious Chef Rolling Pin!

To Buy:
Curious Chef can be found in over 400 retail stores or purchased online at CuriousChef.com. You can search for a local store near you on their store locater.

Giveaway:

One lucky winner will win the 3pc Knife Set. Like most of Curious Chef utinsils, these are dishwasher safe and soft touch button grips.

Extraordinary Pets (Now Available)!!!

I and several other Classy Closet members have had the opportunity to review several children books. All of which are new and upcoming releases. The first book I would like to introduce to you is "Extraordinary Pets" written and illustrated by Burroux.

Description:
A dog, a cat, a bird, a fish
great pets to have. But if you had your wish
why not choose one out of the ordinary?
Why not a pet who's EXTRAordinary?

Cats are cuddly, but elephants? Exceptional! A Chihuahua is cute, but tarantulas? Terrific! Flaps cleverly transform everyday animals into exotic, one-of-a-kind, perfect pets.

About the Author/Illustrator:
Acclaimed artist Barroux makes his Blue Apple Books debut with a book about an amazing array of animals. Barroux studied photography, art, sculpture, and architecture in France at the famous Ecole Estienne and Ecole Boule. He went on to work as an art director in Paris and Montreal. While in Montreal, Barroux began illustrating by creating linocut images, and he is now well known for his children's book illustrations.

Review:
My children absolutely love this book. Sadly, I don't know if I will ever even let my children have a pet in our home, even if it is just a fish. However, they love animals and this book gave them the opportunity to explore their imaginations as well as dream a little.

I enjoyed how the book used flaps, which allowed my children to guess which pet the author would be introducing next. The artwork was also very fun. The only negative thins I have to say is I wish the book continued to rhyme. I love rhyming books and from the description I thought it would have been written that way. However, my children didn't seem to mind one bit. They enjoyed the book from cover to back. I would defiantly recommend this book to any of my readers with children who have huge imaginations and love animals.

Buy It:
You can purchase "Extraordinary Pets" online at Amazon, Borders or at your local book store.

This book was donated for the purpose of a review. Even though I was given the book, my review is my very own honest opinion.
