Fashion: Bib & Tuck

Hello friends!
I've got something special for you today! It is actually a website!

The website is called Bib & Tuck. It is a unique place online where you can buy and sell clothes. But what makes it different from say Ebay is that you do not use actual money. When you Bib, or sell, something you set a price in the currency in the site. When you sell it, that "money" goes into your account and is taken away form the other persons. Then you can use that "money" to Tuck, or buy, things that you love.

Everything on the site is super high fashion, and most of it is designer. They have everything from Topshop to Prada to Michael Kors and everything in between. I love so many of the clothes, shoes, bags, and accessories on the site its ridiculous!

If you want to check it, here is the website:

Want to see my most wanted items right now?







Guys, defiantly go check this sure out. I know you will love it!
Smooches my darlings!

Book: River Magic

Hey friends! So I have got a book for you to day that is a perfect summer read. You know we only have 21 days, or 3 weeks, left in August so take advantage and do some reading!

The book I want to share with you today is a story called River Magic by J M Brown. Now it is the second book in A False Magic Book series, but I read this one without reading the first and had no problems. And you want to know whats great about this book? Its only 99 cents! But we will get to that later. For know lets talk about the story.


 The story is about two orphan girls, Aimee and Brenda, who meet in St. Louis, Missouri Territory in 1822. But thats not the coolest part. The book is written using alternate history. This means that the history they are living in is different than the history we experienced. Its kinda like a parallel universe sorta thing, not to mention it was my favorite part of the book. I had never read another book that used this technique and I thought it was ingenious! Not only does it keep the story exciting, it leaves you wondering, "What if this was what history was really like?" Here is an exerpt from the Smashwords decryption of the book that I think describes the alternate history very well.

"In this alternate history, slavery was abolished with the ratification of the U. S. Constitution in 1791. The Iroquois and Cherokee nations fought on the side of the colonies during the revolution and have retained their independence and formed an alliance with the United States against the western savages and the great powers of Europe. "

Pretty sweet huh? So enough of me ranting about the amazingness of alternate history, lets talk more about the story. Aimee and Brenda are recruited to be messengers, carrying top-secret messages for their benefactor, that sometimes cause them trouble. The girls are both very resourceful and adventures, fun characters that are easy to connect to.

When I first started reading this book, I knew it was going to be historical fiction, but I expect some fantasy too from the title, River MAGIC. But I discovered the magic of the story was the journey and the friendship of these two girls.

The only thing I wished had been in the book was more of a love story. I am a huge hopeless romantic and I just adore book relationships. 

Honestly guys, I think you would love this book. I would probably give it 4 stars, just because 5 stars are reserved for my all-time favorites like the Harry Potter Series, the Alchemist, and Roald Dahl's books. I would recommend this book for anyone preteen up. It is a young adult book but it is a read everyone can enjoy. I hope you guys decide to read it! If you would like to see for yourself, here are the links to get it:



I hope you choose to get it! I mean its only 99 cents! 
Love you all mis chicas!

Fashion: Awake and Dressed

Guys! Do I have a treat for you today!
I recently found a clothing company based in the UK that I think you guys are going to love! The company is called Awake and Dressed. It is Manchester based and creates wonderful T-shirts.
Wondering about quality? They use custom made t-shirts, which they put photographic prints on. They are top quality. They are 100% cotton with a fashionable dart neckline and, according to reviews I've read are extremely soft.
They use Direct to Garment printing which ensures no cracking or fading. I hate it when my tshirts crack, then you have to give them away. One of my favorite shirts cracked once and I was nearly in tears.
Bonus, each shirt comes with a Johnny Wolf exclusive signature on the front corner of the shirt!

Well, what to see them?













Here is an interview we conducted with Awake and Dressed:


1) How long has the company been running for and what made you start?

The company has been running for around about 12 months. Awake and dressed was started because I felt that I wont to try and make a mark.

2) Whats your inspiration behind the designs?

The inspiration behind the designs is everything and anything really. I take a look what’s around me whether it is high street or high end fashion and put my own unique mark on it. I try to create something different that people will like.

3)Whats the main challenges you face?

The main challenge we face is getting out there and people finding us. Its all very well in having a great product and website but if no one knows about it then it's pretty pointless.

4) Whats different about this new range?

We are still using direct to garment printing and a lot of photographic prints. There are lots on new skull ideas that come through in the range. The manin difference though is the new T-shirt  it is 100% cotton with a fashionable dart neckline and an extremely soft touch and feel. The t-shirt features an out of seam detailing on the side of the t-shirt that gives the garment a different and unique look.

5) Whos your target audience?

males and females, aged between 20 and 35. Although anyone is welcome to buy. We do have a women’s section that we are slowly building up.

Okay, so I am super excited they are starting their female line! Right now, I am loving the guys shirts more because I love some of the skull design. I am sure though that once I buy one, I will have to buy 15 more. So hopefully I will in possession of one of these shirts shortly, but until then I will just have to gaze at the website longingly.

Beauty: Noxicare Natural Pain Relief Cream Review and Giveaway!


Hey friends!
So I know I said that I was going to post the review of "River Magic" first, but I just got so excited by this contest I wanted to post this first!

I had the opportunity to review Noxicare Natural Pain Relief Cream. It is a cream that combines 7 of the world's best natural pain relievers to alleviate muscle pain, inflammation, and nerve pain. I had previously heard great things about Noxicare from other bloggers and friends at home so when I got the opportunity to review it, I jumped at the chance.

I experience pain in my knee from a past injury, and in my ankle from achilles tendonitis. On the day when I first tried it I was also experiencing some muscle pain in my shoulder. I have tried everything from pills to ice and while a lot of these feel good for a few minutes they don't last. I need something that while it doesn't give me a permanent fix, it at least reduces the pain for a while.

When I received my cream it was packaged carefully in a box and bubble wrap. It came in a nice box that had facts about Noxicare all over as well as appealing designs such as leaves. Inside the box was a very large tube of the Pain Relief Cream. The sample they gave me to try was a full size tube which was very kind of them (Plus, with how well it worked I'm sure I will end up using the entire tube).

The first thing that I noticed about the cream was the color. It is yellow. This threw me a bit at first because I definitely did not want yellow skin. The other thing I noticed was a lack of smell. The cream in completely odor less. This was great for me because I was headed out for lunch with my friends and had already put on my perfume. Because it is odor less I didn't have to worry about the smell of my perfume and the smell of the perfume mingling.

The cream was easy to put on, and thankfully the yellow rubbed right in. It was creamy and smooth and felt very nice on my skin. With the cream applied I headed out for lunch. Over the course of the day I noticed the lack of pain I felt in the spots I had applied the cream. While I wasn't complete pain free it defiantly helped reduce the pain and get my mind off it. After several hours, the pain started to come back. Over the next couple days I reapplied each morning and each morning I felt even better than the day before. In short, it was awesome.

I would definitely recommend this product. It works great and is easy to use, not to mention comes at a very reasonable price. The lack of smell is great, and while the yellow is shocking at first it ends up not being a problem at all.

If this seems like something you are interested in you can check out Noxicare Natural Pain Relief at www.noxicare.com. Noxicare also produces a pain relief pill if you are interested. You can also check out and like their Facebook page at

The cream was initially yellow on my skin but all good once I rubbed it in!

Now for the part you have all been waiting for.... my first giveaway! Noxicare has generously offered to giveaway a FULL SIZE tube of their pain relief cream. This is to celebrate getting over 400 views and to celebrate the wonderful product that Noxicare has created. You can enter below. I hope you guys love it!
