I have done a few reviews for JTV.com and they are a wonderful company to work with.  They offer amazing jewelry in all different styles and price ranges.  I love that!  They offer a really nice line of jewelry that is crafted in Italy.  This line is called Splendido Oro.  The line is very impressive.  The Spendido Oro jewelry is made with 2,000 years of jewelry making craftsmanship.  You know that you will be getting an amazing piece when you purchase a Spendido Oro item.  These items are great if you want something that you know will last for a long time.  They are something that would make a wonderful gift as well.  A Splendido Oro piece is something that someone will always remember.

JTV.com has provided me with a Splendido Oro Amethyst Necklace to give away to one lucky reader!  This necklace is so pretty.  It is simple and elegant.  The necklace has a beautifully unique design.  It has 2 pieces of purple amethyst surrounded by 14K gold.  The necklace also comes with a 14K gold chain.  This is important to know when you are purchasing it.  I love when necklaces come with a chain and it's especially important when you are giving them as a gift.  This necklace has a very modern look in my opinion.  It is something that can be worn with pretty much anything too.  It is perfect for those that are amethyst lovers.  If you have a lot of purple in your wardrobe this would be an excellent piece of jewelry to own.

TINKERTOY Pink Building Set from K'NEX Review



I have a 6 year old and she loves playing with her brother's toys.  I will say that she loves playing with building toys just as much as any boy does.  I think that's common.  It is so nice to see that many toy companies are now creating toys like this, but tweaking them for girls.  This is such a wonderful idea.  I would like to introduce you to TINKERTOY's Pink Building Set by K'NEX.  This is perfect for the little girl that loves to build and create, but still wants to play with something a little girly.  This is such a fun idea.




This building set comes with everything your little girl will need to create a variety of things.  She can use her imagination to create absolutely anything she wants.  She can use the building guide to create a cat, castle, or flower.  The pieces were very easy for my daughter to put together.  We opened the set and she figured out how the TINKERTOYS work immediately.  She is having a blast with this set.  It is a great way for her to use her thinking skills to create new things!





This set includes 150 plastic pieces.  The set is completely American made.  This is a quality product that is made to last.  It is suitable for children 3 years of age and older.  The TINKERTOY Pink Building Set from K'NEX retails for about $43.99.  The set also comes in a container that can be reused for storage.  I love this because it is perfect for quick cleanup.

Little Lavender - Remember Nguyen #Giveaway 6/5



I love great clothes for myself and my kids.  I came across a really neat online boutique and was truly impressed with the cute clothing options they offer.  This is a unique online shop that sells consignment clothes.  They offer high end clothing, but it's a fraction of what you would normally pay retail.  I also love a great deal, so this is right up my ally.  They offer gently used fashionable items.  






I was really excited to see that Little Lavender offers a selection of clothing that was initially product samples.  These are high end styles that are sold for very reasonable.  They are in their Remember Nguyen line.  Everything in this line is very cute too.  I had fun browsing all of the adorable styles for kids.  They offer outfits for both girls and boys in the Remember Nguyen line.  They are all around $15 or less too!

I decided that I really liked the adorable dress you see pictured above.  This is a beautifully made dress.  It is currently sold out, but it retailed for just $14.95.  It is a very reasonable price for a gorgeous dress.  I am going to suggest that if you see something you like that you don't wait.  Many of the items in the Remember Nguyen line are limited in sizes.  So when they are gone, the deal is gone.  

You can learn more about all of the great clothing that Little Lavender has to offer by visiting their website.  You can also connect with them on Facebook and Twitter.

Giveaway - Enter to win an item from the Remember Nguyen line - $15 or less.
