Charm Factory Review and Giveaway

 I have wanted a charm bracelet ever since I was a teenager, but never could justify the splurge. Now that I'm turning 30, Charm Factory has granted my wish!

You can tell a lot about a person’s personality by the charms they pick. Charm Factory has an amazing selection of charms to do just that. The best part is there is no limit to what you can create. Just pick the bracelet and then pick the charms and Charm factory does the rest. It really is as simple as that!

I was amazed at the selection Charm Factory carries....  you can find anything from Silver Charms, Lockets, Gold Charms,  Wooden Charms , Recovery Jewelry,  Pewter Charms They also have a nice selection of  Watch Components to turn that gorgeous bracelet into a awesome watch!

Thanks to Charm Factory I was able to get a charm bracelet with 8 different sterling silver charms!  There are so many to choose from that I spent forever looking and trying to decide. I decided to go with 8 charms that had a special meaning. 

           This charm is to represent the theme of the bracelet.

                                  This charm is to represent me.

This charm is to represent my husband because he loves wolves.

This Charm is double sided and holds a picture of each of my boys.

 

This Charm is our dog Miley (I forgot to get one for Casanova our cat)

 

These two charms represent tattoos both me and my husband have.

I ended  up choosing this charm in remembrance of my brother-n-law, who was in the National Guard.

I was a little worried that the random assortment of charms I had chosen, would look tacky, but Charm Factory did a wonderful job at placing these charms in such away that it looked stunning.

I would feel a little guilty bragging about my awesome bracelet, without giving you a chance to win one of these stunning bracelets yourself... and thanks to Angie at Charm Factory, I can do just that!

Prize: One person will win a custom charm bracelet with up to 8 charms of their choice!

To Enter: Browse the wide selection of charms at Charm Factory  and then come back here and comment with your favorite.

Village Tea Company *Giveaway*

Over the last few years tea has grown in popularity and we have seen a dramatic increase in varieties and brands. It is so overwhelmingly so, that it is now hard to find a tea that you can  fall in love with.

I recently had the opportunity to try two great teas from Village Tea Company, Cherry Me Bloom Rooibos and Acai and Sweet Grace Vanilla Rooibos. Each of these teas were beautifully blended and not overpowering at all.

                                Cherry Me Bloom rooibos with acai

 

"Ingredients: South African Rooibos, sour cherry, lemon grass, flavor, acai, sunflower petals"

"Health Benefits: antioxidant rich, caffeine free, weight management support, natural energy."

"Wonderfully sweet Rooibos, sour cherry, lemon grass, acai, and sunflower petals grow together in our Cherry Me Bloom Rooibos with Acai Tea.This flavorful Rooibos gives your day a fresh start. Combined with  acai, this tea gives you a bright boost of natural energy and anti-oxidants that can keep you on your feet or just as easily whisk you away into your favorite book.  Expect to be pleasantly surprised with full taste experience. "

I really like that it has a little sweetness to it, but it is not overly sweet in any way . The fabulous smell  of  this tea makes brewing a pot  feel like a nice relaxing aromatherapy treatment.

                                    

            Sweet Grace Vanilla rooibos.

       "Ingredients: South African rooibos, flavor"

       "Health Benefits: antioxidant rich, caffeine free"

"There’s an incredible simplicity in our Sweet Grace Vanilla Rooibos Tea. The soothing flavor of vanilla and the naturally sweet and mildly nutty palate of rooibos tea come together in a soothing mellow flavor. As the fragrant end to a wonderful meal, or a sweet and delicate treat, our Sweet Grace Vanilla Rooibos Tea is a graceful escape from your everyday."

The taste is delicate, with a nice warm vanilla flavor, really calming after a hard day.

Village Tea company has many unique varieties  to choose from, with each containing their own healthy properties. Not only is Village Tea good for you, it is also good for the environment with each tea  packed in 100 % recycled and recyclable packaging that includes 3 cotton muslin bags for brewing.
