I love to shop for my almost 5 year old grand daughter and when I do…I look for unique and specific gifts that I know she will love and love for years. Right now she is really into a few things and one of those 

Ethel M Chocolates for Valentine’s Day

Back in December I had the pleasure of reviewing several delicious chocolate confections from Ethel M as part of our holiday gift guide promotion. Even though it has been 6 weeks, my family is still talking about all of those delicious chocolates that we got 

Beautiful Lockets from Heartsmith

Starfish Women's Locket Necklace

Heartsmith is an online retailer who sells beautiful lockets and family jewelry. The company is a family-owned business and has had their online retail store since 1988.

When you shop at Heartsmith you will find all kinds of lockets in beautiful 18k gold, platinum, sterling silver plated and brass. Many of their jewelry pieces come with a manufacturer’s lifetime warranty.

Valentine’s Day is just around the corner and I know many people are already shopping for the perfect gift. I think lockets make great gifts all year long…especially during Valentine’s Day!

Starfish Women's Locket Necklace

I have been wanting a new locket for a really long time. I didn’t want just any old design, I wanted one that was special and reflected my own personal style.

The company sent me the Nightingale Star Locket Necklace to review for all of you and it is absolutely gorgeous! I am a “coastal” girl so I look for jewelry that reminds me of the ocean. This particular one reminds me of an antique star fish and I just love it!

The locket is U.S.A. made and you can tell as soon as you see it that it is a high-quality piece. It has a brass base that has been silver-plated over the top. I love that it looks antique!

Starfish Women's Locket Necklace

It measures 1 1/4″ in size and will hold two small photographs. The bale on the locket has two tiny set rhinestones and the background of the locket is in a sky blue or light blue ocean color. It hangs from a 20″ long chain which is the perfect fashionable length. The frame and backing of the locket is done in an all over flourish pattern, beautifully etched into the finish.

I just ordered reprints of two photos and once they arrive from the printer, I am going to be putting them inside this locket. One is of my husband and the other is of my adult daughter holding our grand baby. The three people that I love the most in this world! I love this locket and it is the prettiest one I have ever owned!

Happy Valentine’s Day!

Valentine’s Day Gifts from CorsetChick

Women's Black Corset

Valentine’s Day is just around the corner, and CorsetChick has a variety of lingerie to make your significant other do a double-take. The Sunrise, Florida-based shop offers fee shipping on orders over $80 and prices that may surprise you.

I love lingerie. Not only is it beautiful, I think it has power.  Beautiful lingerie brings out confidence and puts a swagger in my step.  I doesn’t matter if anyone sees it; I know it’s there working its magic.  In my younger days I spent a pretty penny on silky and lacy things.  As I grew older, I went the more practical but pretty route and reserved the power lingerie for special occasions like anniversaries, birthdays, and just because I want to blow hubby’s mind days.  When Corset Chick asked if I’d be willing to give one of their goodies a go, I jumped at it.  Hubby’s birthday and Valentine’s Day are coming up quickly.

I was a little concerned I might not find something I’d like in my size, but there was no reason for it.  Corset Chick offers a fabulous selection of lingerie for women of all sizes, including a nice plus size section.  Corset tops, shapewear, sexy costumes, and corset dresses all called to me.  And the shoe section had a pair of boots I’ve been looking for.

Women's Black Corset

The corset dresses reminded me of something I wanted to wear clubbing back in the day.  After careful consideration, I selected the Black Satin Under Bust Corset with matching G-string. It’s sexy and can be worn over clothing or all by itself.  First thing I noticed was how gorgeous it is.  And the quality is equal to a corset I spent much more on a dozen years ago.  I could not believe it retails for just $25.99!

It laces up the back for a custom fit and has hooks in front. They run extra small, and I am so glad CorsetChick clearly stated it on the item’s catalog page.  It might hurt the ego a bit to order a size larger than one usually wears, but it’s worth it to find the optimal fit.  While this will not go into regular rotation as far as my wardrobe, it will make a fab, funky, sexy, gothy and unexpected accessory for dinner, drinks, and dancing.  It is power lingerie to the nth degree and hubby liked it, too.

If you want to pick up some power lingerie as a special treat for yourself, you significant other, or just because, give CorsetChick.com a look.   Valentine’s Day is just a few weeks away.  I will turn to CorsetChick again when I’m looking for something hot.  And I have my eye on the Baby Pink Gothic Corset Dress.  Or should I go with the Black Gothic Corset Dress?  At just $40 each, I might get both.
