Designs by Lolita: Love My Birthday Month Wine Glass Review

Designs by Lolita: Love My Birthday Month Wine Glass

What Is It
A small business woman, Lolita finds the time to keep up her business schedule while raising her two toddler girls. She has always been a fantastic artist, and now, her art has been brought to drinkware! Lolita found that she thought that drinking glasses should be more dressed up and attractive to look at – so that’s exactly what she did! Available in multiple glass styles, Lolita designs the glasses to look fun loving and cute and to help you enjoy life to the fullest.

Designs by Lolita glasses have expanded to include a ton of different types of drinks. No matter what drink you plan on drinking, Designs by Lolita has a glass that goes with it! There are Martini glasses, champagne glasses, margarita glasses, shot glasses, and many more! Tend to prefer something more durable? Designs by Lolita also has acrylic tableware! For those that don’t drink, Designs by Lolita also makes coffee cupfs, paper products, kitchen items, candles, and others! No matter your taste, there’s something cute to go with it!

Designs by Lolita: Love My Birthday Month Wine Glass

For my review, I received a Love My Birthday Month wine glass! Instead of giving a greeting card for a present, why not give a wine glass that shows your recipient’s birthday month? Each one features the birthday month’s gemstone, a flower on the backside of the glass, AND a special birthday month recipe on the bottom. Plus, it comes in very elegant packaging that would fit wonderfully into a gift bag. All twelve months have available glasses.

This unique glassware has been a hit, and it’s available at my stores including Hallmark, Macy’s, online stores, boutique stores, and more!

My Opinion
I am absolutely in love with this glass! It’s very cute, and it’s very unique, and I just feel special when I’m drinking from it. It just looks so darned festive! Even if it’s not my birthday month, I still just feel like it’s a happy and festive occasion while I’m drinking it. The stem and some of the designs on the actual glass have some glitter paint on it which gives the glass a texture, but none of the glitter texture paint is near the lip of the glass, so it’s not something that irritates when going to drink from the glass.

One of the really cute things, I think, is that it shows a bunch of the “month” attributes. For example, mine is January, and it says that my flower is the carnation while my gemstone is garnet. It just adds another personalized detail to the glass, and it looks really cute. The drink recipe at the base of the glass is for a personalized alcoholic drink called the “January” which includes Vanilla Schnapps and other alcoholic beverages.

The art style is cute too. The art looks professional while looking cute and fun at the same time. It really does just have a “feel” of being really fun loving, and it makes me smile and feel special all at the same time while holding the glass. When it comes to my wine glasses, I certainly couldn’t ask for anything more than that! I would definitely love to have received this as a gift from someone, and I know it would remind me of them any time I see it. It just feels so special, and as Designs by Lolita’s purpose was to help bring fun and happiness to people in their drinkware, they definitely did it.

Pros
The glass is very personalized, and it looks very cute and fun. It’s a quality glass, and none of the paint or designs are chipping off. Plus, each glass comes with its own alcholic beverage recipe!

Cons
It can really be hard to pick just one!

It will be personalized and perfect!

Go Green with Hot Tub Covers

Go Green Hot Tub Covers

Summer time is here, and while there aren’t a ton of them in the city I live in, I do see some hot tubs and spas in backyards of some of the residents of this city when I drive around. I actually end up cringing sometimes when I see that their spa covers have slipped off of their tub so leaves and other debris can get inside their spa. Worse yet are the ones who haven’t used their spa in so long that all of the debri on top of the tub is just piled onto the cover and about to pull it into the tub itself from neglect. Those make me sad too.

However, after seeing the replacement spa covers from SpaCap, I do have to admit that most average spa covers make me think most people are missing out on a wonderful product. SpaCap.com has some amazing spa covers that really blow the other types of hot tub covers out of the water. (no pun intended)

One of my favorite aspects of the revolutionary spa covers is that they are green for the environment. The traditional foam spa covers become saturated with water really quickly, and when they become saturated, they have to be replaced. Boo! That’s not good for the environment.

Their Spa Covers does NOT use foam to insulate your spa! This means that they last longer because they don’t break or get saturated which means you have to replace it less which is good for you AND the environment. Secondly, when you do need to discard it (very, very, very far in the future), the non-foam material will be much more friendly to the planet.

I love that idea! Now only to wait until my city-dwellers make the switch…

Giveaway: Butterfly-Style Bracelet Ladies Wrist Watch Review

Butterfly-Style Bracelet Ladies Wrist Watch

What Is It
The Butterfly Style Stainless Steel Bracelet Ladies Wrist Watch is a cute butterfly-band wrist watch designed for women. It comes in multiple colors including black, pink, blue, and many others. It works on a lithium watch battery (included), and it features an easy-to-see 12, 3, 6, and 9 with the rest of the numbers being dots. It also uses a second hand as well. The entire watch comes packaged in a plastic slipcover.

This neat butterfly watch is sold by BudgetGadgets. They’re located in Shenzhen, China, and they’re dedicated to selling quality gadgets with great service at the wholesale price with free shipping to anywhere. They sell a multitude of products including iPod accessories, cellphone accessories, video game accessories, and others. They accept Paypal for payment, and they usually ship via Airmail service which takes about 5-12 business days for the package to arrive. (Mine came in about seven!)

Butterfly-Style Bracelet Ladies Wrist Watch

My Opinion
I do like the style of this Butterfly watch, but I’m not sure it will appeal to older women. The butterfly band of the watch does make the watch look a bit more childish than most other female wrist watches out there. You could replace the band if you wanted, but the Butterfly Ladies Watch may not fit in with an older person’s lifestyle. However, for someone who really loves butterflies, is a young adult, or is a teen, the watch really does fit in perfectly.

The watch is pretty much a “one size fits all” type of watch. I have a larger wrist (due to being a plus-size woman), and the watch fits me very comfortably – it doesn’t move around at all. I had a smaller, thinner friend try it, and she was asking if there was a way to remove links because the watch just hung off of her arm while she was wearing it. It really depends on your wrist size as to whether this watch will fit snugly or will have room to twirl around on your wrist.

The watch itself is pretty cute though. The numbers can be a bit hard to see for those with not-100% vision, but it’s pretty easy to tell what number is supposed to be where. We’ve used it for about two weeks, and we’ve noticed no issues with the butterfly watch speeding up or slowing down, so it tends to stay exactly synced with our computers and cell phones which is really nice. Despite attempting to twist the watch apart (to test for durability), the chains of the butterflies hold firmly together, so it seems like it will hold together pretty nicely which is amazing for the price.

Butterfly-Style Bracelet Ladies Wrist Watch

Pros
This Butterfly Watch seems to be pretty sturdy, and it’s an amazingly great value for the price. It may not suit all women’s tastes, but for a young adult or a teen, it would make a great gift. Plus, it comes in a ton of colors!

Cons
The numbers and the clock dial are actually a bit small, so it may be hard for some older adults to read the clock face.

Recommended
I recommend the Butterfly Style Stainless Steel Bracelet Ladies Wrist Watch to those who are younger and those who love butterflies. There are many color choices to allow you to choose what works best for you, and it’s inexpensive enough to make a wonderful, yet pretty, gift.
