Isn’t it funny how we gravitate to the same type of products that we love even though we have many others that are similar. I am talking about things like purses – I have too many; makeup and skin care – love playing with these; …
I am a self confessed watch collector. I love fun and beautiful watches of all types. For me, they are an extension of my jewelry case and I love mixing and matching watches to my mood and what I am wearing. Hot this year is …
In the past, I have reviewed a few other products from FRAAS and today, I get to review another one. Before I get to the review, let me give you some company information.
About FRAAS: Scarf producer V. Fraas (corporate owner of the FRAAS brand) celebrates more than 130 years in business. Ever since its foundation in 1880 by Valentin Fraas, the world leader for mufflers and shawls has thrived and advanced under the control of his descendants—a remarkable feat in this transitory world. But V. Fraas has more to celebrate than mere longevity: it is a forward looking company that continues to expand at a quick pace, and it is continuously implementing new ideas and concepts. From its bases in New York, Paris, London, Wüstenselbitz, Toronto and Shanghai, V. Fraas’ design teams travel to major shows and forecasting seminars throughout the globe to identify new trends and develop products that are perfectly attuned to fashion and customer demand.
The company’s research team, meanwhile, works unceasingly to develop and discover new yarns, fabric and methods of manufacturing products that are of truly outstanding quality. Truly internationally oriented, the company boasts sales subsidiaries and satellite offices in New York, Toronto, London, Paris, Berlin, Denmark, Italy, India, Hong Kong, Shanghai and Tokyo. Products are distributed worldwide via department and specialty stores as well as online retailers.
My Review: The company sent me a pair of their new FRAAS Tech Gloves to check out for all of you. I was really excited to review these because I own an iPad, iPhone and an iPod. All of these electronic devices have touch screens, including my one laptop computer. I needed some gloves so that when I use my electronic devices, I can use them easier and not leave sticky fingerprints all over my screen.
The new Touch Screen Compatible Gloves that FRAAS has to offer come in 3 chic options, with each retailing at about $30.00 per pair. (The long scrunch, the ruffle and the bow styles). There are 22 different total options in all of the fabulous and fun colors.
I received a pair of the new Touch Screen Gloves in a pretty gray color and in the ruffle style. These are light-weight knit gloves that hug your hands but do not fit too tightly. They don’t constrict your hands movement at all. I love how feminine they look!
They are made from an acrylic/cotton/polyester/metallic blend which feels super soft against your skin. The gloves feature the tech finger tips that are so well-matched to the glove, that they are almost invisible when you look at them.
I have been using these gloves for well over a week now when I use my electronic devices and I couldn’t be happier with them! Matter of fact, I would love a few more pairs in a variety of colors to go with my outerwear and jackets!
These gloves would make a fabulous holiday gift for anyone on your gift-giving list who uses touch screen devices. For about $30 a pair, they are super affordable too! Great gift for mom, your sister, best friend, niece, grandmother, you name it! A great gift for any chic and savvy gal on your list!
You can check out all of the wonderful products that FRAAS has to offer by visiting their web site. You can find these gloves at speciality stores throughout the country and on FRAAS and Amazon.

I live in the upper north east and every winter season, we get hammered with a lot of rain, snow, sleet and ice. When Fall hits, I start preparing my family for the upcoming Winter season by getting us all new coats, sweaters, snow boots, …
Calypso Studios is a five year old manufacturer of beautiful hair accessories and jewelry. The company’s selection of Bendi-Bandz and It’s a Wrap Bracelets are available in a variety of styles and colors to suit any shopper’s style. The 34″ flexible headbands are comfortable, versatile, and affordable.
My hair is getting long again and I’m not sure what to do with it. Lately I’ve been rocking it loose or in a ponytail because it’s busy and those styles are perfect for when I need to get out of the door in a hurry. I have headbands and ponytail holders, but I love finding cute ones I can play with. Enter Bendi-Bandz from Calypso Creations. Each headband is handmade from a thin wire wrapped in cloth and that makes it versatile. Calypso Studios offered me a headband to try, I went for it. They went above and beyond a headband. They sent four Bendi-Bandz and one of their beautiful It’s a Wrap Bracelets.
My daughter peeked over my shoulder when I opened the package and ran off with the bracelet. Little thief! But you know teens – what they like, they really like. Calypso’s selection of It’s a Wrap Bracelets is wide and shoppers are sure to find something for themselves or their loved ones. Glass, metal, or clay beads, rhinestones, or gold nuggets, and crosses are available in a variety of colors and materials. Cloth, leather, and linen cords are as study as they are beautiful.
While Teen Daughter wandered off with the bracelet, she let me get first pick of the headbands. I snagged the pink Paisley and Gold Glitz Bendi-Bandz while she grabbed the blue Glitz Bendi-Band and Black Animal satin band. I have long hair and my daughter rocks a shorter style. Calypso Studios says the bands are fun and posts videos of their products in use on their Facebook and YouTube pages. The bands are lightweight and gentle on hair no matter how it’s worn. For me and my daughter, the Bendi-Bandz stayed in place all day whether worn as a headband, ponytail holder, or bracelet. Yes, I wore mine as a bracelet – just like I wear ponytail holders as bracelets when I’m running around. Why? Because you never know when you’ll need a ponytail holder and that’s how I roll.
Would I pick them up? If I needed more, I would. I’m not sure if I’d snag another headband anytime soon because I have far too many at the moment. Besides, my eyes (and teen) are focused on the Bracelets. I found a few gifts on the website as well. I’m going to follow Calypso Studios on Facebook to keep up with any new products they offer. Their fans love them and I understand why.
