EdenFantasys Review

Oh EdenFantasys.  Only my favorite online retailer there is.  New to EdenFantasys?  Then let me tell you...you are missing out!  EdenFantasys is an online adult retailer, that basically carries anything under then sun that you can think of.  Toys, lingerie, games, oils...you name it, they've got it.  Plus, they offer free shipping on all orders over $59, and a free gift with every purchase.  And don't you worry, shipping is completely discrete, so nobody has to know or even suspect what you're getting behind that cardboard box.

Now, the boyfriend's birthday is coming up this Sunday, so I've been trying to decide what I should order to surprise him.  He's been super busy lately between starting a new job and going back to school, so he's been quite stressed out and tired.  I'm thinking nothing would make him happier than a relaxing massage followed by some fun.  :)

One of my favorite things that EdenFatansys sells is a variety of kits designed for couples.  Sometimes I have a hard time choosing exactly what I want to order, so these kits are perfect.  I just browse through everything they carry, and decide on the best one to make the night perfect.  One thing that I love is the Massage Therapy Kit.  This would be just right to give the bf a relaxing massage, and I love the variety of oils included in the kit.
I would also love to try the Coffret Bling Bling kit, which I think would bring a little spice into the night!  
Sounds like the perfect night to me!  Seriously folks...if you haven't checked out EdenFantasys yet, do not delay!  I promise...you won't be disappointed!

Fall Flavored Rooms

Even though it is not technically fall for a few more weeks, after Labor Day hits, I basically consider it fall. So why not start decorating your house with some rich fall colors?  Fall truly is my favorite season...I love the colors, the clothes, and the weather.  My favorite outfit is to be able to wear jeans, a cardigan, and some cute boots.  Hopefully, that fall weather will get here soon.  For now, check out these beautiful fall-colored rooms.
Spruce up a neutral room with some richly colored pillows. 
I am absolutely IN LOVE with this room.  How absolutely stunning?
And its weird...I tend to gravitate towards white, bright and airy rooms.
Dine in style.  I love the wallpaper and that stunning chandelier.

Labor Day Celebrations

How is it already Labor Day weekend?  Where oh where has this summer gone?  Labor Day is basically the official end of summer, so its a great weekend to end summer with a bang.  If you are planning on having a fun Labor Day BBQ or other get-together, check out these cute ideas to make your last weekend of summer one of the most memorable!
Fill a bucket with all your necessary supplies!  Straws, napkins, condiments, hot mits, etc.  Saves your from taking multiple trips in and out.
Cute centerpiece!  Fill with some fun bottled drinks.  Izze drinks are perfect for the kids, and make a fun touch to the afternoon.
Remember making "paper cups" by folding paper?  Well...use large paper and fill them with fruit! Easy, cute, and disposable.
Again, make use of your paper folding skills.  Turn a fortune teller into holders for a sundae bar!  What says summer better than a huge bowl of ice cream?
Veggie tray centerpiece! Such a cute and usable tablescape.
Use sand, seashells, and candlesticks to make the perfect summer centerpiece!

Any other creative ideas for your party?

Easy Canvas Prints Review

Recently, I was given the opportunity to work with Easy Canvas Prints, a fabulous company that will transform your pictures into beautiful canvas prints.  Because I just moved, and I am always looking for new pictures to hang on my wall, I was extremely excited to work with this company!

Easy Canvas Prints is super easy to use.  First, you have to decide what size canvas you are going to choose.  This was probably the hardest part for me, because I was struggling to decide where I was going to hang my future canvas.  One feature that they have that I love is that when choosing the print, they show the size hanging above a standard sized couch.  It helps put dimensions into perspective, which I thought was really useful.

After you decide what size print you will be getting, the next step is to upload your photo from your desktop.  This is easy to do, and the system automatically checks to make sure that the image quality is acceptable.  Nothing would be worse than order a canvas, and having poor image quality.  Fortunately for us, they double check that for us!

After you upload your picture, you can pick the border style, and choose any additional image options you want.  For example, you can make you canvas black and white or sepia, for just a slight additional charge.  After you place your order, you will get an email saying your order had been received, and an additional email letting you know when your order has shipped.  

After I placed my order, I received my canvas extremely quickly.  And let me tell you, I LOVE it!  The canvas is thick and high-quality, and the image looks awesome.  It really is beautiful.  As you may or may not know, my dad passed away when I was younger, so I had a canvas made with one of my favorite pictures of me and him. This canvas now holds such a special memory of me and my dad.
Hanging on the wall.
Cute, huh?

Easy Canvas Prints is seriously an awesome company to work with.  I promise, you will love your canvas print!  These canvas would make great gifts, or would be a great addition to the walls of your house.  My overall rating is 5 stars-easy to order, fast shipping, fantastic customer service, and great quality!!

I received a canvas print in order to complete this review.  However, all opinions are genuinely my own.

The Man Cave

Oh...the dreaded man cave.  Every man's wish, every woman's worst nightmare.  Am I right or am I right? However, I do believe there is a way that "man caves" can be done so that they are stylish and classy, but still have their desired feel.  I mean seriously...nobody wants to be sitting on their old college futons and couches while watching TV, right.  Check out these stylish man caves:
Dark and cozy...but with multiple TVs and a pool table, this makes for quite the entertainment area.
I LOVE this space! The stone bar is just fabulous.

I'm really liking the natural stone apparently.  I could just see an intense poker game going on in this space.
Home theater room?  Looks good to me!

Luxury Laundry Room

Some people think that decorating a laundry room is a waste of time and money, especially if it is in the basement, or some unseen corner of their house.  I, on the other hand, have to disagree.  I think that the laundry room should be considered as any other room in your house...and should be fixed up when possible!  Of course, its not going to be the first room on your list to decorate, but I don't think it should be completely ignored.  Check out this amazing laundry room...
Gorgeous, no?  Love the wallpaper and the beautiful sink faucet!  Plus, the tinted glass cabinets offer the perfect storage space, without exposing everything to the world.  I love their use of tin containers to hold towels, and other important laundry needs.  So perfect :)
