You know what I really wanted this Valentine's Day??

An Edible Arrangements bouquet!

I just love how not only are these bouquets beautiful but they are DELICIOUS and healthy! They have the perfect mix of chocolate and fruit and I just love how unique and special the gift is - they won't die being displayed on the table like flower bouquets and you can eat them! How great is that??!!

I am especially loving the special Valentine’s Day Valentine’s Day Bouquet that I received! It is so awesome that they can make this bouquet so beautiful and all edible! The chocolate heart with "I Love You" really adds that extra special touch too!

Hand-crafted with fresh strawberries, gourmet semisweet chocolate dipped strawberries, grapes, and our signature pineapple heart slices, this delicious arrangement is a sweet way to share the love. Whether you’re sending it from afar or sharing it after a romantic dinner, this irresistible treat will satisfy their sweet tooth and put a smile on their face!

The minute my children saw the Edible Arrangements bouquet, their eyes got really wide and I seriously think they started drooling! I was glad to share because the fruit is delicious and healthy for them at the same time! What a fun Valentinen's Day gift for the whole family!!

However, I can tell you that I am keeping the other treat I received from Edible Arrangements, their EDIBLE® SIGNATURE CHOCOLATE BOX, all to MYSELF! :)

Delicious decadence meets expert craftsmanship in this Edible® Signature Chocolate Box. Featuring recipes designed with master chocolatier Jacques Torres, these melt-in-your-mouth chocolates combine smooth, hand-crafted gourmet chocolate with premium, natural ingredients in 6 rich, indulgent, and deliciously bold flavors: hazelnut crunch, caramel, raspberry, orange, pineapple, and passion fruit. Packaged in an 18-piece box, these irresistible treats are the perfect way to celebrate!

The chocolates in this collection were so unique, beautiful and, best of all, delicious! I was really spoiled this Valentine's Day thanks to Edible Arrangements! Their fruit bouquets are truly one of my favorite gift ideas and I highly recommend!

Transform Your Outlet Quickly and Easily Into A Nightlight with @Snap_Power Guidelights!

A product was given for review for my honest opinion. No other compensation was given.

I got a really cool gift idea for homeowners on your gift list this year or parents with small children!

The SnapPower Guidelight (starting at $15) can safely and easily transform an outlet coverplate into a convenient night light. They automatically turn on and off by a sensor and are equipped with energy-efficient LED lighting for perfect nighttime illumination.

I instantly LOVED the idea behind these Guidelights because my children get up to go to the bathroom during the night and these are so great for providing subtle light only in the dark WITHOUT a bulky nightlight!

PLUS, these LED lights cost less than 10 cents per year and last 25+ years and the practical design leaves all electrical outlets free for use! I really love that!

And what amazed me the most was how easy it was to install! By the time I was done singing and praying with my son before bed, my husband had the guidelight installed in his room! It requires no wires or batteries and the sensor turns Guidelight on/off based on current light conditions. I never have to worry about it!

If you are looking for a cool decor feature in your house or a helpful light for children at night without blocking an outlet, these SnapPower Guidelights are one of the coolest home devices we own now! LOVE THEM!

Buy It:

You can purchase the SnapPower Guidelights in several colors and designs starting at $15 from the SnapPower website.

Never Leave Your House Again Without A Bagnet! #Giveaway

* This post is sponsored by Bagnet. All opinions are mine. *

Ok, all my women readers (and men readers can think of their wives or significant others) think back with me now....

Remember that time you went into that nasty bathroom stall at the movie theater, restaurant or gas station and you look and look and look for somewhere to put your purse... 

...and you can't find a hook or shelf ANYWHERE!

Where do you put your purse?

Do you struggle to hold it while you go to the bathroom? Do you risk setting it on the floor and having a gazillion germs and nastiness on it afterwards? Do you get up and skip the bathroom altogether? 

Well, now you have another, much better alternative and it is called the Bagnet! It is a super simple, super versatile and super amazing purse accessory that you are going to thank many, many times in the future!

Bagnet™ is a magnetic leather accessory that clips to your purse and magnetically hangs your purse in many different situations. Not only does it work in restroom stalls but also on barstools, chairs, tables, at concerts and sporting events, in arcades and casinos . . . the list goes on and on.

Clip your Bagnet™ to your purse strap or hardware - that's its new home! Leave your Bagnet™ there as an accessory. It contains strong magnets and when you encounter a restroom stall without a purse hook, your Bagnet™ is at the ready to magnetically hang your purse from the stall wall. Bagnet™ keeps your hands free and your purse safe from theft so you can take care of business! To prevent it from unintentionally sticking to objects simply clip it on the inside of your bag. Don't worry, it won't harm your cell phone or credit cards.

Bagnet™ comes in handy in dozens of situations and on countless objects. So far in just the couple weeks I have had it, I have used it many different ways - at the movie theater, in the bathroom, in my house - pretty much anywhere I can! My husband is SOO happy my purse doesn't lay around our house anymore taking up space. I just simple stick it to the back door so I don't forget it on my way out (mommy brain!) or stick it on our closet for easy access any time I need it.

I am using the Jane Bagnet™, a black pebbled leather. Jane fits the bill with just about any look, whether it's date night or work day - Jane's got you covered. Her hardware is a polished nickel open/close O-ring.

The Jane Bagnet holds a capacity of 9 lbs so even my heaviest purses can get hung!

I just love finding ways wherever I go to use my Bagnet! Never again do I have to place my purse on nasty floors, lose it in my house somewhere or struggle with holding it when I don't want to! The Bagnet has seriously become a lifesaver many, many times! It amazes me that such a simple concept can not be something I can't live without!

Dyson V6 Slim Vacuum

A product was given for review for my honest opinion. No other compensation was given.

One of the greatest things in life is a good vacuum! :)

There is no feeling like watching your carpets and floors get clean before your eyes with an easy to use, efficient and lightweight vacuum!

I get this feeling every time I use the new DysonV6 Slim vacuum!

The latest Dyson V6 vacuum is lightweight and versatile, without the hassle of the cord. No more fiddling with plugs or tripping over cords. Simply remove from the docking station and go. With up to 20 minutes of fade-free cleaning performance, the lightweight design provides versatility and ease of use, allowing you to clean up high, down low, and everywhere in between.

Dyson cordless vacuums are powered by the Dyson digital motor V6 – a small, lightweight motor capable of spinning at up to 110,000 rpm. It generates powerful suction, creating the most powerful cordless vacuum cleaner.

My favorite part is the cordless feature. When using corded vacuums, I feel like I spend more time unwrapping and wrapping up the cord than I do vacuuming. And now I don't have to worry about tripping around a cord or any dangers to my children!

Just simply put it on and off the charging station and you are ready to vacuum! I LOVE THAT!!!

Plus, the Dyson V6 Slim works great on hard floors and carpets with its motorized cleaner head with stiff nylon bristles and soft carbon fiber filaments!

It has a pretty good run time of 20 minutes. It is not super long so if you have a huge house, you may have to stop and charge! But it definitely will do a lot of your house at one time!

My second favorite part is how easy it is to empty! You just push the button to release the dirt directly into the bin! It is so easy and hygienic!!!

And finally, I use and love this vacuum because it takes the place of all my other ones! I don't need a little handheld vacuum anymore because the Dyson V6 Slim can be turned into handheld mode and do little jobs like cheerio spills and car messes!

But it also can do high jobs like vents, spider webs in the corners of your living room and dusting the edges of doors!

This Dyson V6 Slim has it all and you are going to want it for your whole house, car and garage and anywhere you can think of to use it once you start! :) You will love using this lightweight and versatile vacuum and you will love having ONE vacuum in the house for every mess!

Buy It:

You can purchase the Dyson V6 Slim for $289 from Walmart

Face the Summer Sun with Sunglasses from Corinne McCormack!

A product was given for review for my honest opinion. No other compensation was given.

The summer sun is definitely out and shining bright already and I am always in need of a great pair of stylish sunglasses when I am out and about. I found the perfect pair (and maybe my most favorite pair of sunglasses I have ever owned!) from eyewear designer Corinne McCormack!

Corinne is known for her fashion forward styles, and her collection has frames and accessories to suit every mood and occasion. She is introducing a new sunglasses line just in time for Summer and I love the selection!

Corinne has been designing eyewear for more 20 years. She’s appeared on Live on Regis & Kelly, making over the hosts and audience. Vision Monday named her one of the most influential women in optical. And, currently her styles are sold at more than 2,000 specialty and department stores, including Bloomingdale’s and Nordstrom.

One of the styles from her new sunglasses line that I absolutely LOVE is the Water Mill sunglasses.

Corinne McCormack Water Mill is a Full Rim frame for Women, which is made of Metal.

Most metal frames are made out of Monel. This metal can be corrosion resistant, strong, and easily adjusted. It retains its stability and shape. This model features an Aviator shape with a Double Bridge. These Sunglasses work well for people whose style is Classic.

I absolutely LOVE the Aviator style of these sunglasses and they were SO comfortable to wear! I felt great wearing them and wore them everywhere and anywhere I could!

Sadly, before I could even get a selfie in them, they got hit by a volleyball at a volleyball game and broke! :( I was so, so, so sad because I really, really LOVED THEM! Lesson Learned: leave them in my car when going to my volleyball games!

Although, I can't wear them anymore, I highly recommend these for a fun, fashionable and comfortable way to start the summer!

Buy It: 

You can purchase Corinne McCormack glasses at more than 2,000 specialty and department stores, including Bloomingdale’s and Nordstrom and these and sunglasses at eye care professionals.

AwoX Bluetooth Light Bulbs

A product was given for review for my honest opinion. No other compensation was given.

If you have a music lover on your Father's Day gift list this upcoming June, then I have a really unique and fun gift that any man is sure to love!! I know my husband is loving it!

This unique gift idea is AwoX smart bulbs! They are a lightbulb and speaker in one. They work with the AwoX Stream CONTROL app on iOS and Android smartphones and tablet devices.

Through the app, you can control proximity settings and stream music from your phone to the bulbs. This means the bulbs can be programmed to turn on/off as you enter/leave the room by recognizing the signal coming from your phone. You can also play your favorite playlists from Spotify, internet radio and your music library from anywhere in the vicinity.

There are three different light bulbs that we tried out (and LOVED!). They are so ingenious and I love that I can now listen to music anywhere I turn on my lights!!!

AwoX StriimLIGHT Bluetooth - Standard

These light bulbs are so simple to use, with crisp and clear sound anywhere you can plug in a light bulb. It plays all your favorite music right from your Bluetooth® MP3/music players, including computers and numerous types of smartphones and tablets

Plus, there is a remote control for light on/off, sound volume setup and mute

The bulb is a LED, 110-240v and fits standard E26 or E27 socket. The speaker is a 10 Watts, 200Hz-20KHz

We love using this Standard StriimLIGHTTM Bluetooth bulb in our 4-season porch so when we have friends over playing games, we can play music all night long! No one knows it also plays music so people always wonder where the music is coming from! I love that I don't have to take it out once we are done! It still functions as a light when not playing music!

· MSRP: $80

AwoX StriimLIGHTTM Bluetooth - Mini Color

This StriimLIGHT Bluetooth Mini Color has the same great features as the Standard bulb but it has added fun because it also has a rainbow of colors and it is smaller in size!

StriimLIGHT Bluetooth Color bulb in our garage

My husband has put this bulb in his garage and loves to hear music playing and fun colors changing while he is working on cars or other things in the garage each night! It has great sound and the music is played really clearly! He loves it!

· MSRP: $100

AwoX StriimLIGHT Bluetooth - Mini

The StriimLIGHT Bluetooth Mini has the same music capabilities as the other bulbs above but it easy to integrate with its small size and E14 socket. It is PERFECT for smaller fixtures!!

Check out these other features:

· Bulb: LED, 110-240v, fits standard E26 or E14 socket

· Speaker: 3 Watts, 200Hz-20KHz

· Includes remote control for volume and light

· MSRP: $60

These really are the coolest music players we have ever seen and we are loving showing them off to everyone who comes in our house! We are huge music players (I play music all day long!) but I hate always having to have a music player taking up space or having to carry it around with me from room to room. These AwoX speaker smart bulbs are perfect for double duty (lights and music!) and look great too!

Buy It: 

You can purchase AwoX smart bulbs at many online and local retailers or from the AwoX online shop.

Safety for my children is my utmost concern in life...especially when it comes to car safety.

So I am always on the search for the best, safest, and space saving car seat and I think I have found it with the Rainier Convertible + Booster Car Seat from Diono. It really has it all and it's many features really set it apart from its competition!

The reinforced adjustable head support provides additional side impact protection.

One of the best parts is how versatile it is! It can go rear facing, forward facing and converts to a booster: With its extended rear-facing capabilities, it can comfortably seat rear-facing children from 5 to 50 lbs. and forward-facing children from 20 to 90 lbs. in 5-point harness mode (up to 57" in height). Additionally it converts to a booster for children between 50 and 120 lbs. or up to 57" in height.

Plus, it adjusts so easily! The aluminum reinforce headrest has 12 height positions for adjustable head support and additional EPS foam surrounds the child’s head and body for complete side impact protection. Its unique SuperLATCH™ system makes installation easy and the Rainier is NCAP crash tested, the industry benchmark for verifying child seat performance in severe accident conditions.

I have several categories below with winners in each category. Check them out, try them out, and I hope you love them as much as I do!

Favorite Clothing: 

SOYBU MICHELLE DOLMAN RAFFIA TOPS

This sumptuously soft and comfy Michelle Dolman continues its meteoric rise in popularity because it simply looks great on every body type. They've updated this favorite dolman fit with a refined finish at the neckline, cuffs and hem. Supremely versatile, the Michelle is a perfect workout top, but delightful over jeans and super-cute over tank dresses too. With so many pretty prints and solids available, you'll be tempted to collect them. Crafted from our Soft Jersey and Burnout Jersey.

I am a HUGE fan of Soybu clothing but this Dolman is my favorite shirt from Soybu! I absolutely LOVE this Michelle Dolman shirt! It works great with leggings or jeans, it is so comfortable to wear and it is has been the perfect transition shirt to wear after having a baby and working on losing the baby weight!

Favorite holiday decor:

6-Pc Entry Set from BrylaneHome

Transform your entryway with a festive assortment of all-weather, fade-resistant, pre-lit evergreen to create a welcoming glow at your doorstep. A great addition to your outdoor Christmas decorations, this set comes at a value that can't be beat.

This 6-pc. set is cordless and each uses 3 AA batteries (not included). I love that it doesn't require cords but I don't love 3 batteries for each piece! However, I do LOVE that you can put them on a timer and have it turn on by itself each day and stay on for 6 hours!
