Reviewing Opportunity

Recently I was given the opportunity to do some posts for EdenFantasys. You might think of them as an adult site but when you look around you will see that they have so much more then just that.

Some of the great stuff they have is:


Illume the 23 Collectioncandle is a high-quality soy wax with lead-free wicks, burns cleanly and evenly. Currently they only have Valencia Orange which is a sunny, bright, and uplifting scent in stock. This seems like the perfect candle for me to be burning right about now with all the gloomy weather we have been having lately.


Here is another item that caught my eye its called Chemistry Bubble Bath Set. Each 5 1/2" long tube is full of colorful bubble bath in one of four scents; relaxing lavender, romantic rose, stimulating lemon mint and sensual pomegranate.

I am going to admit that I am a huge candle and bath product person. If I spot a candle(s) I like, I will buy it even though in reality I don't need it and the same goes for bath products. My bathroom cupboard is over filled with all kinds of bath stuff. I love being able to fill the tub with a great bath product and getting in and relaxing. I am looking forward to picking up these two products to add to my routine.

So just remember they have a wide assortment of products so be sure to check them out.

Vaseline Sheer Infusion Product Review



Last week I recieved a coupon in the mail to try Vaseline Sheer Infusion for free. I was super excited as I love trying new things/products.
Sheer Infusion comes in 200ml size in three different types: mineral renewal, vitamin burst and botanical.
Vaseline® Sheer Infusion™ with Stratys-3™, is the newest and most innovated body lotion that has been made in the past 10 years. Vaseline® Sheer Infusion™ is the only body lotion to infuse and suspend moisture at all layers of your skin.
It was a hard choice to make but I ended up choosing the botanical. I was really surprised because most body lotions all say they are moisturizing and they really aren't. I have dry hands in the winter time and I am always looking for something that will bring relief and that is what this did.
I noticed a difference from the moment I used it. It went on smooth and not greasy. It smelled good to. Another thing I noticed about Sheer Infusion was that no matter how many times I washed my hands I had all day coverage.
Since using Sheer Infusion my hands are soft and in the winter time I get itchy legs from the dryness and this took it away leaving my legs smooth and itchy free.
The only down part to Sheer Infusion is the price. I redeemed my coupon at Pharmaprix (Shoppers Drug Mart) and it scanned at $9.99 CAN. I think when I need to buy another bottle I might shop around to see if I can get it cheaper.
Overall I enjoyed using this product and will continue to use it as this has been the only body lotion that has lived up to what it claims.

CSN- Bookcase review

Thanks Comments at dazzlejunction.com
I have to send out a huge Thank You to Jason at CSN for contacting me and asking if I would be interested in receiving and reviewing a book case from them. Of course I didn't hestiate to email him back because I was interested. I was in need of a bookcase and I have been looking around in stores but everything I have seen was so expensive and it just wasn't in the budget right away. So this was a blessing in disguise. Thank you again Jason.

If you haven't already checked out CSN then you really should. I was surprised at what they had to offer online. Go and check them out they are a great online store with great prices on everyday items.

Okay so here is my review of my CSN Bookcase. Enjoy!

I got an email confirmation on the weekend saying that the bookcase left the brokerage house (because it was coming into Canada) and was on route to deliver. Any plans I had on Monday were going to be delayed because I wanted to stay in so I wouldn't miss this delivery.

It was a very long morning waiting for the truck to come. Every bang I heard outside had me running to the window only to be disappointed. The morning passed with nothing I was constantly checking my email thinking perhaps I read it wrong. Gee whiz, I ended up even calling the delivery company to see if it was actually the day of delivery. I was told yes.



Than finally at about 2pm I happened to look out my front window to see Purolator parked out front. I wasn't going to get to excited because sometimes I think the driver likes to tease me and I think I have a package and get excited but then sadly he drives away. Such a tease!

This was not the case. He was actually delivering..............


THE BOOK CASE! Yea, I was so excited. I should have taken a picture of myself but didn't think of it. Sorry.


(This is the un-assembled bookcase) There was no need for the instructions as it was all straight forward looking at everything. Upon inspection the only item I needed was a screw driver to assemble it.



There was groves in the back to slide the back pieces in which I loved. I was amazed at the quality of the book case. Pretty sturdy. I attached felt pieces to the bottom so that when I have to move it I won't scratch the hard wood floors.
So this is the final finished product. Isn't it a beauty? I love it.

I was wondering how I was going to place it in my living room. I already have a 5 shelf bookcase in my living room and when I started to reorganizing the books (taking the books off a small book case that was temporairly there and from the cedar chest) I realized that my other 5 shelf bookcase that I had in the basement had to come up.

So here is the end product. What do you think?

I think its much cleaner looking and not so over crowded.

The new book case now holds all my YA books. The A-Z is book ends that I bought when I got the new bookcase and between them is four books that I really want to read. Can you see what they are?

The book ends are holding The Hollow by Jessica Verday, Prophecy of the Sisters by Michelle Zink, Eyes Like Stars by Lisa Mantchev and Strange Angels by Lili St. Crow.

So all in all I am extremely happy with the newest addition in my living room. The living room looks so much neater not having a huge TBR pile of books on my cedar chest.

Thanks again Jason and CSN for sending me the book case.
