For the past 6 years we have always kicked off our annual holiday gift guide during the month of October. One of the things we have learned over those years is that our readers love learning about new companies that offer fantastic gifts and holiday …
One of the greatest joys in life is being a grandparent. It’s a special bond that grandmothers and grandfathers develop and enjoy with their grandchildren. Don’t get me wrong…being a parent is the best thing in life but becoming a grandparent runs a close second. …
The holiday shopping season is upon us and many of us are trying to get through our gift-giving list. For myself personally, I started my shopping on September 1st and hoping to be completely done by December.
If you are looking for a great holiday gift for someone who has everything, I think framed artwork is the way to go. It’s a gift that won’t be tucked away in a drawer or hidden away in a closet. Nope, it’s always displayed proudly on a wall and every time they see it, they will think of you!
Recently I received the Lighthouse with Deserted Canoe by artist T.C. Chiu from FramedArt to review for all of you. Let me tell you…the photos don’t do this piece any justice! Once you see it in person…it’s absolutely GORGEOUS and the detail & coloring is fantastic!
If you’ve never ordered from FramedArt.com let me tell you a little bit about them. They have thousands of different prints available! Once you select the print that you would like you will then choose if you want it as an art print, laminated print, framed art print or as a wall canvas.
The next thing you will need to decide is on the type of frame that you would like, color of frame and size. Next is your mat selection (if you want one) and you can choose from 1, 2 or 3 mats along with the color and width size. Lot’s of matting options are available. Finally, you will choose your glass selection & glass finishing.
The entire ordering process walks you through all of the choices available to you step-by-step. I really LOVE that you have all of those options available to you as it allows you to be the creative designer!
The Lighthouse with Deserted Canoe print measures 17″ by 21″ in size. I selected 1 mat and a natural colored frame for my particular piece and had it framed under clear plexiglass. With kids running around…I prefer plexiglass just in case anything goes flying off of my walls.
Once you place your order you receive an email confirming your order and when the company ships your order you will receive the tracking information. You are kept informed the entire time!
My order arrived quickly to my home and it was extremely well-packed. My framed artwork was nice & secure inside the box and was super easy to unpack. It’s ready to hang and I had it up on my wall in the family room within 10 minutes!
The lighting in my family room is really terrible so I couldn’t get great photos of it. The very first photo in the post shows it outside where the lighting was definitely better. The rest of the photos were taken in my family room. I just LOVE LOVE LOVE this art print!
Head on over to FramedArt and take a look at all of the beautiful artwork that they have to offer. If you love scenic beach art pieces click here to see those!

Home decor trends change frequently. It’s not feasible to think that someone can completely redecorate their home each time a new trend emerges. One of the best ways to keep your decor current without continually redecorating is to design each room with a combination of …
It is not often that I purchase anything that is a luxurious treat to myself, especially when it comes to skin care. I have rough, dry skin, and usually things I’ll try tend to be on the clinical strength side of things. Typically with that, it tends to be a clinical strength type of smell from those types of lotions. I must admit that I have never before heard of a body candle, so when I was sent one for review from The Sitota Collection, I was very intrigued to try one.
The Body Candle is made from 100% natural coconut oil, shea butter, soy oil, jojoba essential oil, vitamin E and aloe vera; all offering excellent benefits for the skin. As the body candle burns, the essential oil infused wax melts into a body oil. How marvelous! These are for ultimate hydration, designed to soften skin and soothe dry patches. This is perfect for me since it is exactly what my skin needs. It is suggested to light the candle before jumping in the shower or bath then spread all over the skin with the warm oil to receive the sumptuous hydration.
The Sitota Collection currently includes four stunning fragrances: Blue Nile, Havana, Coco Noir, and Aigyptos.
* Blue Nile embraces earthy rich bamboo with wild grasses, red grapefruit and citrus notes.
* Havana highlights tobacco, leather, amber and musk and notes of teakwood, pepper and black tea.
* Coco Noir combines creamy coconut with tantalizing cassis.
* Aigyptos mixes amber, sandalwood, musk and vanilla, and is balanced by jasmine, lavender and orange.
I was so fortunate to be sent the new Aigyptos scent, and I absolutely love it! It is so decadent, just one trace of the aroma and I am in heaven! I can imagine myself on vacation in gorgeous scenery around me. The body candle was exactly what my dry rough skin needed!
The warmth of the oil just made my skin melt, but in a good way. The soft creaminess of the oil just infused into the dry skin. It smoothed right over as if it renewed that rough spot! Never before have I experienced such a deluxe body oil before, the softness and gentle moisture has stayed on my skin for several days now, and after several showers.
The Sitota Collection Body Candle, which are handcrafted and hand poured, may seem indulgent. Although, in seeing how big the candles are, as well as their burn time (around 50+ hours), not to forget their amazingly wonderful scents, and the skin improvement results achieved, they are well worth it for a lovely scented home and body. A fabulous treat!
This Body Candle is a perfect gift, whether it is to yourself, or someone you care about, because everyone deserves the finer things in life.
