Crinamin Review & Giveaway

2011-11-21T13:52:00.000-08:00

Christmas time is coming extremely fast and I'm sure everyone will soon be frantically searching for the perfect gifts for our loved ones. Well I happen to have some very good news for you. I was blessed with the chance to work with a company called Crinamin.

This beautifully crafted company definitely has something for everyone. Etsy shops are a great way for extremely talented people to share their gifts with the world. Crinamin is run by a lovely couple who work together and make the items I'm so excited to share with you right now.

Most products they make are made out of glass. The fascinating thing about glass blown items is each piece is unique and can never be duplicated. Every single pendant has it's own gorgeous personality just waiting to be matched with one gorgeous owner. They also have other beautiful items such as beaded jewelry, housewares, ornaments and the absolutely stunning dreamcatchers.

Dreamcatchers are extremely popular for taking away all of our bad dreams. Do you know someone who is burdened with constant nightmares? Well, one reader of my blog has a chance to win the same beautiful dreamcatcher I was sent to review. First I'll share some of my personal favorites (Christmas ideas) and we'll get to the super awesome giveaway.

Angel In The Clouds

2011-10-21T10:30:00.000-07:00

There's been so many tragedies in the world lately it's hard to see the beauty. God works in mysterious ways though and if you really open your eyes, you can see it. Someone caught this picture of the clouds on their cell phone. Some may say it's just a coincidence the clouds shaped into an angel. I personally don't think so. I think God used the clouds to show us his angels are watching over us no matter what's happening around us.

I've done some serious brain storming about how to get a wheelchair van and I think this may be my only hope.

To buy a new one is around $70,000 ... can't do that.

To buy a used van that works is around $30,000 ... can't do that.

To buy a brand new Dodge Grand Caravan (taxes included) would come to $24,500 and March of Dimes would convert it into a wheelchair van for FREE!

Even though that's the cheapest option, I can't do it on my own. Without a wheelchair van, life is difficult. My muscles have deteriorated to the point that I'm 24/7 care, making it impossible for public transportation. Although I've lost my muscles, my spirit is very much alive. If I had a wheelchair van, I could go to the doctors, back to school, and best of all, see my friends and family who I miss deeply. So I had an idea! If 24,500 people give me $1, they'll be giving me back the life I so desperately need. Please invite everyone you know.

I miss my life and have a small idea of getting it back. CONTESTS!

Skin MD Natural Shielding Lotion Review & Giveaway

2011-04-21T08:05:00.000-07:00

I suffer from a skin condition called psoriasis. Whenever I get stressed out, my eyebrows and ears break out causing extreme itch, pain and burning. I've searched endlessly for something, anything, that takes away this irritation and give my skin a lovely appearance.

That's when I discovered the best skin care product I've ever used in my entire life. The company's name is called Skin MD, and they help many skin conditions other then psoriasis. Some are acne, dermatitis, rosacea, dry skin and even sunburns.

Once I received my Skin MD Shielding Lotion, I immediately applied it to my skin. Usually creams make my skin feel more itchy and irritated but Skin MD was different. It felt sooo good. It was like giving a dehydrated person a huge jug of water. Within 3 days, my skin completely cleared up and I didn't feel the need to scratch my face.

Full product description:
A shielding lotion does the real work to prevent dry skin in two ways.

First, it assists the inner layers of skin to absorb moisture. The humectant (an ingredient that attracts moisture) used in Skin MD Natural is unique to it and has been laboratory tested to be 6 times more effective than any other you will find in common creams.

Second, a shielding lotion enhances the power of the top layer of the skin to resist environmental irritants while protecting the inner natural moisture.

This can be a big benefit for those who cook, wash dishes and garden because Skin MD Natural helps skin retain its natural moisture and oils in the face of all those irritating soaps and chemicals.

The manufacturer's website www.skinmdnatural.com has hundreds of dermatologist and user reviews including many addressing severe dry skin problems such as eczema and psoriasis. People with sensitive skin -- and those of us who like to live as naturally as possible -- will appreciate that Skin MD Natural is hypoallergenic, free of fragrances, parabens and colorants. It is made with more than 90% natural ingredients and 100% food-grade ingredients that are on the FDA's "most safe" list.

Shielding lotion prevents dry skin, protects healthy skin.

Skin MD Natural Shielding Lotion really does care for your skin. It feels good on your skin because it is good for your skin.

Safe, natural ingredients such as Aloe Vera, Vitamin E, Arnica, Comfrey, Chamomile, and Yarrow heal, nourish and moisturize dry, damaged skin.
Full disclose of ALL the ingredients and safety testing results. You can read the detail here.
Contains 93% natural source ingredients. All others are of food-grade quality and on the FDA's most safe list.
Completely non-greasy, light and silky smooth.
It goes on easily and absorbs fast. Just a little bit goes a long way.
Hypoallergenic and recommended for even sensitive skin.
Uses no animal products or animal testing.
Vegan and cruelty free.
Made in the USA using 100% solar energy.

Doesn't it sound absolutely amazing? With 6 times the moisture power, I assure you it truly is amazing. I promise you, by purchasing this product, you not regret it. Better news is that Skin MD is giving one of you a 4 oz. full sized bottle of Skin MD Natural Shielding Lotion + a couple of SPF 15 samples. Yay!

Giveaway - One reader of Star Struck Luck has a chance to win a 4 oz. full sized bottle of Skin MD Natural Shielding Lotion + a couple of SPF 15 samples

Mandatory Entry - Go to Skin MD and tell me what you would use it for.

Sunstruck by Mayra Calvani Review

2011-04-19T07:04:00.000-07:00

I got a chance to review one of my new favorite books called Sunstruck by Mayra Calvani. This book literally had me captivated from the very first page. I'm not even exaggerating, this book was extremely difficult to stop reading.

Based around a character named Daniella, you are taken on a mysterious adventure with a psychedelic twist. She's surrounded by crazy artists, scary beings and some mysterious character who slashes the zorro sign on the buttocks of women who wear miniskirts at night. Surrounded by magic mushrooms and harsh drugs, Daniella tries to understand not only her own life, but the lives of the people around her too.

Although this book is fiction, all the historical facts and the famous historical people are real. Along with enjoying this book, I also learned a lot. Especially because the facts were so interesting, I felt the need of finding more information. I highly recommend this book to absolutely everyone. I really hope that one day, Sunstruck will become a movie.

New Fashioned Whispers Review & Giveaway

2011-04-16T07:29:00.000-07:00

I've currently developed a passion for anything that has a vintage type beauty. Things with a romantic aura that looks like it belongs in a fairytale. Well I've found an etsy shop called New Fashioned Whispers that has jewelry with that exact dreamy fairytale effect.

When I first came across this shop, my heart immediately melted. I instantly felt like I needed it all, so I decided to contact the owner. After our conversation, I felt extremely lucky because I was given the opportunity to own her Sweet Nothings - A Lovers Rose and Heart Locket.

Once I received my locket in the mail, my whole family was in awe of how pretty it truly is. There's so many people I love right now, so I haven't quite found the perfect picture to put inside it yet. Once I do, it'll be even harder to part with then it is now. I'd wear it 24/7 but I want to make sure it lasts forever.

I know now that you've read about how much I love my locket, you're probably thinking about how much you want one too. Am I right? Well, I have terrific news! One of my very lovely readers has a chance to win a Sweet Nothings - A Lovers Rose and Heart Locket of their very own to cherish.

1 Bag at a Time Review & Giveaway

2011-04-13T10:11:00.000-07:00

I believe being green in today's world is vital to our future. One of the most harmful products on this planet is plastic bags. I know what you're thinking, "I need them for groceries!". Well you most know they're not only harmful to our environment, they're killing our beautiful wildlife. Plastic bags are known to kill sea birds, sea mammals and fish. Turtles, dolphins, and whales can choke or starve by confusing plastic bags for jellyfish. On land, plastic bags kill birds, livestock, and deer. Read about other ways they harm us here.

There's a company that I absolutely love called 1 Bag at a Time. They're working on saving our everyday needs as well as our environment by making us reusable bags. This I find awesome, especially because these bags are completely fashionable. With their large selection and different styles, there's a bag for all of your needs. I was sent a beautiful cotton bag. We were going to use it for groceries, but my mom's knitting supplies fit in beautifully. Better news is you get a cotton bag in your choice of color too.

I found a lovely little shop on facebook and just had to share it with everyone. Shelby Styles is a store that sells beautiful handcrafted hair clips and accessories for your little ones. These hair clips and hats are so adorable, it makes me wish I were younger. I think my head would be to big for the hats but I believe us adults can wear the flower clips too. Take a look at this precious bow for spring.

The owner was nice enough to send me a little gift pack of my own. The headband and hair clips were soooo cute. Two beautiful little girls modeled them for everyone to see. Not only did we get a gift pack, Shelby Styles is sending a Mystery Prize Pack to one of my lucky readers.

Last week I didn't post anything for friday because, honestly, I was to sad. This week, I'm sharing something special rather then funny. Stuart's vet sent us a beautiful sympathy card with a poem on it. This poem, to me, sounds like it was written about Stuart. Although, I'm sure anyone who loves their cat as much as I did, can relate to this poem as well. Here's a picture of the card. I'll rewrite the poem underneath.

Gentle eyes that see so much,

paws that have the quiet touch,

Purrs to signal all is well

and show more love than words can tell.

Graceful movements touched with pride,

a calming presence by our side,

A friendship that takes time to grow,

small wonder why we love them so.

Meridane Design Review & Giveaway

2011-03-24T14:00:00.000-07:00

There's this company that I've loved for quite some time now, called Meridane Design. Ever since I first discovered this online shop, I've wanted to buy every piece of jewelry they have. It's not like any ordinary piece of jewelry, it consists of a symbol like no other I've seen. One symbol that can spell everything you love in your life. How? It holds every letter of the alphabet and every single number. Here's a picture that displays them all. (Not including the Greek alphabet, which is in their too)

I was extremely lucky to win a prize from them that got me a really cool t-shirt and gorgeous silver pendant. Everyone that has seen my necklace so far, just like me, is hypnotized in seeking out every letter. We've been having a lot of fun with it and I really wanted to share the joy with you. Meridane Design has agreed to give a small sterling silver pendant to one of my extremely lucky readers. First take a look at my t-shirt and necklace.
