Because I Said So!!! Mom Knows Best!

Okay you guys, you know how fascinated I have
become with home decor. I have reviewed paint and
arts and paintings and candles and all sorts of darling
kick knacks and some truly stunning items for the home!
I hope you enjoy me sharing my finds with you for I must
admit you guys are what got me started on the search in
the first place and the fact that I am now hooked and
just can't get enough should be making you feel a little guilty
by now!
Your not!
I know!
All you guys want is more!
I have got the emails and know what you are looking for
and would pretty much go to the ends of the Earth to bring
it to you guys! Lucky for me every once in a while I find
a great one a little closer to home! Remember how a
few months back I did some articles and a review or two
on wall art, those adhesive Wall and Surface Graphics
that make remodeling a room a snap? Well I think I just
found you guys the cream de la cream in wall graphics
for it just doesn't get better then these guys! Wall Slicks
has it all! They offer the largest selection of products I
have ever seen and call me kid in a candy shop for I
just could not get enough and they have me still going
to their site and looking for there is no way to cover everything
they have in just one visit. Plus they are super reasonable
in prices, give you tons of value for your money and their
customer service is off the hook! I was asked what item I
would like to review and right away I got tingles for most of
the time with reviews you get a sample or they have a pre-set
list of items you can review. They just said pick and item.
( Giggle) I tried to restrain myself!

I figured since I did a wall art review and picked an item
for the living room and one where I picked out an item for
Rowans room it would only be fair to pick something out
for Andrews room and told them I loved the Graffiti line
and could I try that. Now if I would have known then what
I know now I would have went in a whole other direction
with my reviews and saved these guys for my Living room
choice for I was thinking they would send a few samples
like the other places did or at best the smallest set they
had but no, they sent the whole kit and caboodle's and more
then enough to do Andrew's whole room and he lives in the
basement. WOW, knock me over with a feather. The pack
had everything in it to complete the room and get an
effect similar to the one in the picture and really really
looks cool. If Andrew would allow cameras in his room to
take a photo I would have one posted ( he is a little embarrassed
by the mess there) but I will try to sneak one while he is
at school but we just got it all done Yesterday. The
Quality also floored me for these were thick and durable
and I swear, made for a room of a person who is lazy
about pre-forming up keep. If all their items are like
this we are in for a real special treat for it is like they
said, hum, ya know this could end up in a teenage boys
room. We better make it extra durable for those guys are
hard on everything. I am more then impressed with
these guys! The Quality, the value and the designs in
general about rocked my world here and when we move
I plan on using them for all my needs for they really
deserve some kudos here.
Now all of their designs are something to write
home about but two category's had me at hello right off
the bat, the modern and the Nature. The Modern category
contains the skyline and the Zen Kanji decals in it and the
first one I saw and fell in love with the second I have had
a thing for before I saw it here and was impressed on how
stunning theirs looked. The nature category just has some
really pretty patterns and also a lot of Whimsical designs
that are perfect for adding youth and life to your house.
The paw prints made me smile a huge grin for you guys
know how important Boo is to my life and I thought it
would be adorable to add this to the corner of the kitchen
where her bowls are and over her toy box and treat jar.
A perfect way to let the whole world and all my guests
know she rules and is respected in my house. I could go
on forever telling you how many must have items I found
from them that I would love to add to my house and
also the few I have already ordered because they are such
a simple way to add some zest and style to an otherwise
boring room that I could not help myself. Plus I got some
extra decorating ideas just checking out the display pictures
they have on their site. On the paw prints page they have little
stuffed horses like the kind you find on a stick over a bed
and I thought that adorable!

Wall Slicks also has a great selection of Holiday themes
and everything for cute and sassy to classic and breathtaking
and instead of going through the pain of hanging Holiday
lights through my house and taking days out of my life
hanging decorations next year I am going to have a
Christmas Tree and these for it takes the hassle out of
a time of year I just want to enjoy. Like I also told you
the quality is un parallel and they are so easy to hang
it could be done by a child. In fact my son helped me
with his room for it had to be just so and though he is
16 when it comes to directions he seldom follows them
for you guys know 16 year old kids know everything and
directions are for dummies. What normally happens is
he screws things up but these are teenager proof and
give Rowan 6 more months and even she could hang some!
So let's go over the check list here
1. Great Selection
2. Stunning designs
3. Above and beyond in the Quality department
4. Easy to use and take care of
5. The customer service is hands down exceptional!
Wall Slicks is a perfect addition to any house and
can transform any room into a room you will not only
be proud of but actually drag people into your house to
see. If you do a small area or a whole room you are
going to be the envy of everyone you know and you can
either share or keep it your little secrete. As for me, I like
to tell the world when I find a place as great as this!
Even better, now remember I told you they rock!, Wall

Hey there, while you are here don't forget to enter
my Snow Stoppers and Lyons Creations Contests!

Ah, it was only a few months ago when I was such
a novice with Make-up and Beauty. A blank canvas with a
mind like a sponge and a desire to learn. Too bad I am 40
years old and didn't learn all these tricks to now. My Diva
status could have reached an all time high by now instead
of running around with training wheels and a 12 step program
to stick to the new tips I learned and not revert to my old ways.
Even my Mother is Benefiting from all the great Products and
advice I have been receiving from these Companies and
leading the pack in getting me on my feet and a seat
on the "Wow, you look stunning bus!" has been Korres!
Last month we did a review and giveaway with them and
have more planned in the future but right now they had
some new items they wanted me to try and share my
experience with you guys.

Korres is a fantastic company and I plan on adding them
on the top ten list when I update it hopefully this week.
The customer service has been fantastic and they have had
no problem walking me through my insecurity's and have been
helping me turn my lack of knowledge into an expert status
even if I do have to take baby steps for sometimes I learn
at a snails pace. As you know it takes more then first rate
customer service to make the list and they meet all the
rest of the criteria and then some. They offer lighting fast
delivery, a spectacular product line and extremely
competitive pricing. You have no idea how glad I am I found
them and hope to have a long relationship with them for
their help greatly benefits you your guys, myself and the site!
They sent a couple of great products for review and
I love the fact they offer a lot of sets and kits for when
you have as much work as I do walking out of the 70's
and 80's you need a lot to get going and kits or collections
make that job a lot more easy for I don't end up looking
like a deer caught in the headlights wondering what I should
pair with what. The first item they sent was their Prep,
Prime, Perfect collection. I must say it was all of that and more!
The kit included:
Wild Rose Cream
Wild Rose Serum
Face Primer
Wild Rose Lip Butter
Wild Rose Foundation
Mascara
and Pomegranate Cleansing wipes
I decided to try everything at once and see how it felt. I started
with the cleansing wipes for I have a really bad problem with
just washing my face with Body wash and not paying special
attention to my face and at 40 I can really start to see the
wear on my face. I really liked the wipes for they were simple and
the last time I used anything it was for acne and left my face dry
and ick, this was refreshing. I love love love the smell and it
dissipated really fast for those of you who do not like items that
linger. It left my face not just looking clean but feeling clean and
you don't get that with soap alone. There always feels like a film
no matter how gentle it says it is. Next I used the Serum on my
wrinkle areas and though they can't fix what damage I have done
it did a heck of a job softening the lines and making me look
younger or should I say taunter with the appearance of the skin
of a much younger person. I was very impressed and when I
added the cream next I felt like I was rubbing in youth for it
just soaked it up and added the much needed softness and
moisture my skin has been lacking the last few years, Next I
tried the Primer and I tell you this is something I had never heard
of to lately and I LOVED IT!!!! Where has this been all my life. I felt
like it was sealing in all the goodness I had just done without
feeling like I was wearing a mask. I always have an issue and
I even have normal skin, but when I put on foundation it
always gets caky and makes my skin look dry. With the primer
I could tell all that moisture from the lotion and serum was
still there and felt pretty and natural not like I was just painting
over the imperfections. Awesome. That made the next item,
the foundation just flow over my skin and do what it is
supposed to do, create the perfect tone, instead of clumping and
caking on the dryer areas of my face. When I was done now I
not only felt like I had the skin of a younger person I looked
like it. I really wish I could post a picture of this but Andrew
helped me take some pictures for another review and left
the Camera on and the battery died and I would like to get
this review up for you. I do promise to post one as soon as
I get to the store and grab a new battery for it is really
unbelievable looking! Or I am nuts, but even my son said I
look happy instead of tired so that screams volumes to me
that it is working! I felt so good at that point that I decided
to just use the last two items and no eyeliner or shadow and
go for a natural look that only younger women can pull off.
Both the Mascara and the lip butter worked perfect and the
mascara did not cake or smear at all. The lip butter was
creamy and not waxy or too thick ( I hate that) and loved the
mild taste! This review was a total joy and I now need to
do a shoe review for I need to slip on some dancing shoes
for that is what I feel like doing!

The other item they sent was the Love Your Lips set
and it has:
3 Cherry Oil Lip Glosses and a Pomegranate Lip Butter
Now you know from the other lip butter I love these
Little tubs and they are a permanent fixture in my purse
now and this one was no exception other then to say I
loved the flavor and scent just a little more with this
one. I am hooked on Pomegranate now. The glosses were
spectacular and had just the right amount of glimmer and
shine without appearing thick and too glazy. A light touch
and I really liked it for even though I like the shiny part
of lip gloss I hate then when it is so thick it makes you
look like you are 12 and just raided your Mothers Makeup
and did a disaster of a job putting it on. This made me
feel like an adult with a pretty smile. I do not
think I will leave these lying around for Rowan to get
into when she is 12 for no way do I want her to ruin them!
Mine I say!
As always, Korres once again did a great job with the
items they sent to me and everything left me feeling
beautiful, stunning and stylish and if they can help
me and the mess I have become I know they can help
you guys who are a lot more put together. Korres always
has some great deal going on and I have to tell you to
run, don't walk and grab the wipes and Primer for that
stuff is DA Bomb! If you have not used them, those items
are a must have! To the next time we have a Korres review
or giveaway and let's hope it is soon for they have a
awe inspiring product line and can make an over sized
dork like me feel like a star!

Korres!
