EdenFantasys Highlight

Once or twice a month I'll be doing a feature on EdenFantasys.*  I might talk about the company, I might highlight a product.  I promise you that anything I feature will be tasteful (and photos posted here will be safe for little eyes), but please keep in mind that when you click a link to visit the EdenFantasys website that content there is meant for adults only. 

I have only recently been introduced to EdenFantasys though posts I have seen on blogs I frequent.  I actually entered a giveaway not too long ago for a gift certificate and won!  I love winning just as much as the next person, so I was excited when I saw that I had won and quickly went to check out their selection.  I was happy to find that there really is something for everyone available at EdenFantasys.  From wild, to romantic... you name it, they probably carry it, plus it seems like there is always a free gift with your order!  I purchased a lovely scented candle.  Their shipping is fast and discreet (and they state they will never send you unsolicited mail -- email or postal, so far in my own experience I have found that to be true) and I would absolutely order from them again if I am ever in the market for something that they carry.  They recently moved to Atlanta and are offering lots of great specials right now too.

What I really like about EdenFantasys is the community aspect of the site.  You can find reviews (both written and video), helpful forums (with polls, discussions, questions, and answers), interviews, a book club, and the EdenCafe blog.  At EdenFantasys they celebrate that sexualty can be expressed in many different ways.  Their community members and contributors offer a wealth of information and education on topics relevant to sexuality and I personally found browsing their forums to be very interesting.

*I will recieve a gift card in exchange for my posts about EdenFantasys.

Connie Elder International Products Review

Connie Elder began developing products with real women in mind, in 2000.  She has been the on air spokesperson on the shopping channel QVC for Lipo in a Box since 2002.  Just two years ago, Connie introduced her fabulous line of Go2Bras and Underology Skin Care on QVC. 

Products from Connie Elder International have been featured in magazines such as Glamour, MORE, First for Women, "O" Magazine, and more.  They have also been featured on the Today Show, The Early Show, The View, and even twice on the Oprah Winfrey Show.  If Oprah likes it, you know it must be awesome.  ;o) 

I personally love Connie's passion for charity.  She cares very deeply for several, and serves on the board of directors for Soles4Souls, and the YWCA Nashville Domestic Violence Center.  Each year, she donates a percentage of the profits from the Connie Elder International family of products to those great causes as well as to organizations for breast cancer research. 

Recently I was given the opportunity to try out a few of Connie Elder's products.  A bodysuit from their Lipo in a Box line as well as a set from the Go2Bras line.*

I have given birth to two children, and they are the loves of my life, but they were both in the ten pound range (9lbs 13oz and 10lbs 13oz, thank-you-very-much) and my body will neverrr be the same.  I am okay with that, but sometimes when I put on a dress I want a smoother silhouette.  I was a bit skeptical that the bodysuits from Lipo in a Box could really deliver, but after watching a few of the videos on their website I was interested (and Connie just seems so sweet!).  I was still a bit skeptical when I pulled the bodysuit with underwire out of the package and found that it seems similar to control top panty-hose in material.  These, however, are NOTHING like control top panty-hose.  These bodysuits are incredibly comfortable.  I can wear mine all day and completely forget I even have it on, it smooths out my figure just enough, while not really changing my shape.  You know how sometimes things that are meant to control one area, can sort of push it out into another area?  That doesn't happen with these.  I really could not believe how comfortable this was, and there was no shifting once I got it on, unlike the rolling down that a control top might do.  You can't even tell you're wearing it under your clothes.  I actually wish I had known about these after I had my daughters as well because of the support that the bodysuit gives. 

As far as Go2Bras, well they aren't playing around with their name!  I can definitely say now that I have tried one, I want to buy the entire line.  After changing my mind a million times as to which style I like the best (they are all beautiful), I finally decided on the "Sarah" bra and panty set. 

The "Sarah" Bra is embroidered in luxurious unlined mesh fabric creating a sexy semi-demi underwire bra that provides lift, shaping and support. A single dart in the lower half of the bra provides lift and a beautiful silhouette in your clothes.

The "Sarah" Panty is a moderate rise bikini panty with modesty back coverage. Leg opening trimmed with a comfortable, yet beautiful two toned lace. It is made of a stretch mesh for a great fit and I found the "Sarah" set to be very comfortable.  I would absolutely recommend Go2Bras for quality and comfort. 

If you're interested in purchasing anything from the Connie Elder International family, they have offered a 15% discount with promo code Lipoblog .

You can also sign up for their newsletter (bottom left hand corner on http://www.lipoinabox.com/) and they can be followed on Twitter and Facebook if you'd like to keep up with what's new and find out about discounts and specials they are offering.

D-n-D Ranch Aromas, Review and Giveaway!

I spent my teenage years in the country.  While I did not exactly appreciate it then, I love it now.  Rolling hills, green pastures, farm land.  It's comforting, it's beautiful, and it's home.  D-n-D Ranch Aromas offers candles with scents from the country!  I loved browsing their scent selection and just the overall country feel I got from their website.  I felt like if I were in their store (and they do have a retail store, if you're lucky enough to live in or be passing through Colorado Springs) they'd be asking me if I'd like a slice of apple pie and a glass of milk (but I might be too busy running around smelling everything, haha!).  At D-n-D Ranch Aromas Candle & Gift Shop, and at DnDRanchAromas.com, you will find fantastically fragrant, long-lasting, hand-poured scented candles in a selection of straight out of the country jars (mason, jelly, and more), keepsake tins, votives, tealights, car air fresheners, and even tarts.   These candles are made by a candle lover, for candle lovers. 

All of their year round candles are even named after animals on their ranch.  I love that!  You can check out their year round scents right here:  http://www.dndrancharomas.com/en/products/category/13/all-year-round-scented-candles.html.  I think I'd really enjoy Bentlee's Blazin' Sage... and who am I kidding, I think I'd enjoy everything else they carry too!  They have such fun scents (Jellybeans, anyone?), and awesome collections (check out The Hunk Line, and the Renaissance line)!  Right now they even have a special, 10% off their St. Patrick's Day line of scented candles.  You can find the code right on their front page. 

With Spring and Summer on the way, D-n-D Ranch Aromas sent me one of their silver keepsake tins in the Bakin' Up Sunshine scent.  The candle is yellow, and is prepared with sweet bakey notes and a tart lemon scent.  It really captures a lemon pound cake, and just made me want to get in the kitchen and bake.  It didn't take long from the time I lit this candle in my kitchen for my entire house to fill with the scent of delicious lemon-y baked goodness.  I actually started to get hungry and contemplated blowing it out for that reason alone!  Hehe!  The tin is SO cute as well!  It fit right in with the country decor in my kitchen.

D-n-D Ranch Aromas has offered an amazing prize package to one of our lovely readers as well!  One of you will win a 4oz jelly jar, 12 pack of tea lights and 4 pack votives all in one fragrance of your choice!  I wish *I* could enter!!  Haha!  :o)
