The Naturals ~Sweetheart Central Gift Guide Review~

~Valentine's Day Sweetheart Central Gift Guide Review~

~I received this product for my honest review, all opinions are 100% my own.~

I just love The Naturals. They are based out of Pennsylvania and offer twig wreaths and much much more. They send you a basic form for you to add onto and decorate however you wish. You can choose from beautiful spring baskets, window frames and stars. They even have a peace shaped wreath and a heart for Valentine's Day. They never cut down trees or bushes only trim and allow the plants to continue to grow and thrive. What a wonderful way to bring nature inside without disturbing it.

I chose to get the Fairy chair, which in my opinion was beautiful on it's own. I chose to leave it natural. It has copper wire on the back for hanging and when winter is over I plan to move it out to my garden. I just love the wild look it has. I can just imagine this spring when it's outside and surrounded by color.

If fits so well in my home filled with Antiques that I think I could use one in every room. I would love to get a basket to fill with pine cones, acorns and dried pomegranate's. What would you choose? You can see all the different options The Naturals has to choose on Etsy. Check out how great the pricing is. I've seen similar items sell for triple the cost!

Juice in the Box ~Sweetheart Central Gift Guide Review~

~Valentine's Day Sweetheart Central Gift Guide Review~

~I received this product for my honest review, all opinions are 100% my own.~

I love fun reusable products. So I knew I would love Juice in the Box by Precidio. Did you know that it takes over 300 years for a single disposable juice box to decompose? Yikes, that's a long time and we throw out 132 billion disposable juice boxes every year. These are a great way to teach your child about recycling and reusable products.

Nikolas want's you to teach your kids about keeping the world healthy for him and other kids. This is a great teaching tool for teaching your kids to drink more water. Because the box is colored it looks like a fun drink and they get the water they need.

Juice in the Box comes in Pink, Red, Blue, Orange, and Green. You can buy one at the Precidio website. These are a great healthy teaching gift for your little ones. Nikolas loves his and so will your kids!

Play Laugh Love Inc Nail Polish ~Sweetheart Central Gift Guide Review~

~Valentine's Day Sweetheart Central Gift Guide Review~

~I received this product for my honest review, all opinions are 100% my own.~

The first time I saw these peel off polishes online I knew I had to try them. These polishes are all natural and made with fruits and veggies. How cool is that? There are no toxic, carcinogenic, or harsh chemicals at all and no plastic like in other polishes. They are odorless, and totally safe for your little ones. Did you know that anything you put on your nails can be absorbed into your body? I didn't ever think about it.

I ordered Sparkly Really Teally because I love some sparkle in my polish. I'm a true kid at heart. The polish comes in a little bottle that's perfect for little hands. This color is more of a sheer with blue sparkles. It was easy to apply and dried almost instantly. I didn't have to wait for it to dry very long, which is perfect for little active kids.

Removal of the Play Laugh Love polish is super easy. After all they are called peel off polish. They are waterproof but if you soak your hand in warm water you'll be able to peel them right off. This is great for people who love to change nail colors often. They come off pretty easy even without the soak.

They come in a wide range of colors, glitter, metallic and pearl colors. They all have super fun names like Fabulouse Fuscia Rosie Posie and Metallic Orangecicle. You can buy them in a three pack at the Play Love Laugh website or individually on Etsy.

Made from Earth ~Sweetheart Central Gift Guide Review~

~Valentine's Day Sweetheart Central Gift Guide Review~

~I received these products for my honest review, all opinions are 100% my own.~

Made from Earth is a new company to me. I was very pleased to get to test some of the products they offer. Made from Earth is an Organic line of skincare. I was sent the Aloe and Jojoba Creme Therapy which is for body or face use. My first thought was how good it smelled, It has a nice clean scent and is very refreshing. It's not super strong but just right in my opinion. It's supposed to be used after a bath or shower 2-3 times a week. So I decided it was a perfect time to take a bath to test it out. My skin is super dry and itchy, so I was pleased that almost instantly after I put it on that stopped. It feels so luxurious. They certainly call it creme for a reason.

You can see on my skin how it looks. Nice and shiny, and full of moisture. It's lasted for no less than 24 hours and kept my skin soft and silky. I plan on getting some for my mom for Valentine's day because it's a great product and would be so good for working out in the weather on the farm.

I was also sent the Lady Soma Skin and Nail Treatment. I wish you could smell it. It smells divine. It's thick and creamy. It made my nails super shiny and I could see a change in the strength within just a few days. It can also be used as a moisturizer. I've been using it on my hands and arms as well. This would be a great gift for a mom because it also helps with stretch marks and scars and we all have some of those!

Sashka Co ~Sweetheart Central Gift Guide Review~

~Valentine's Day Sweetheart Central Gift Guide Review~

~I received this for my honest review, all opinions are 100% my own.~

I just love this little beaded bracelet I got from Sashka Co. What makes me love it even more is that is handmade. Not only is it handmade but each purchase empowers Nepalese artisans to rise above poverty. This is done through fair trade. If you don't know much about fair trade you can read more about it on the Sashka Co website.

Each bracelet is handcrafted by artisans in the Kathmandu Valley of Nepal. Each bracelet is made with glass beads and crocheted. They are made to roll over your hand onto your wrist and have a perfect fit guarantee.

Looking closely at my bracelet you can see that it's crocheted very tight and has nice even beading. The pattern is just beautiful with a pink, clear and maroon color throughout. I have small hands and wrists so I was thrilled that this fits so well. It's such a sweet piece also. I would love to receive another one for Valentine's Day.

If you go to the Sashka Co website you can see all the great color combinations and patterns that you can buy. At $12 to $13 these are a great deal! The Red, White and Blue one is my favorite. You can see it and many more at Sashka Co.

Marshmallow Peeps ~Sweetheart Central Gift Guide Review~

~Valentine's Day Sweetheart Central Gift Guide Review~

~I received this product for my honest review, all opinions are 100% my own~

Peeps is such a holiday tradition for so many people. I don't remember a holiday as a child that Peeps weren't included. These days Peeps has so much more to offer Peeps lovers. My kids were super excited to try all the fun Valentine's Day offerings that Peeps has out. I (crazy mama alert) invited over a few of my daughters teenage friends for a "Let's try all the Peeps" party. Needless to say no one declined. So after a long day at school I had a house full of kids and out came the Peeps.

We had Peeps coming out our ear's...Peeps Marshmallow Hearts in Pink. These are the classic flavor and always a hit. The kids went through these in a flash. We got to try some different flavors like Strawberry Creme Flavored Marshmallow Hearts and Chocolate Dipped Strawberry Creme Covered Chicks.

Peeps Cherries Dipped and Drizzled in Chocolate and Chocolate Covered Raspberry Flavored Hearts were a huge hit. These got passed around the whole table. They loved the drizzled chocolate and the raspberry filling. They actually fought over them.

Hands down the winner of the day was the Peeps Vanilla Creme Flavored Marshmallow Hearts. They had such a different vanilla flavor. I can't explain it but I can tell you it was wonderful. Light and fluffy and with such a sweet but not overwhelming flavor. I would love these from my sweetheart!

KeySmart ~Sweetheart Central Gift Guide Review~

~Valentine's Day Sweetheart Central Gift Guide Review~

~I received this product for my honest review, all opinions are 100% my own~

KeySmart is a Made in The USA product. The goal is to a make lighter, less bulky way to carry your keys. We all have to carry keys so this product intrigued me. My first glance when I received this product was at how bright and shiny the color is. I chose green (my favorite color) for my KeySmart 2.0. It comes with a Expansion Pack and business card that tells you where you can go for detailed instructions.

Now most of you know we just moved, so I get to put my new house keys on my KeySmart. It was like a housewarming gift. I decided to go with three keys to test it out. My husband and my 16 year old daughter had it together in seconds. Apart, together, apart, together. The key is using a flat surface, align everything evenly and screw back together. They both said it was a piece of cake. I had trouble but as all my readers know I have severe joint and muscle pain. I kept losing the pieces and it was rather amusing my lack of coordination.

This is very light compared to my normal dangling key chain. I love the color I chose, it's such a pretty green. You can choose from 8 different colors, or Titanium.The frame is made out of aluminum and it includes stainless steel hardware. They have a few other options for add-on. You can choose a USB, a quick disconnect or lanyard, bottle opener, pocket clip or quick retract. I love the idea of the USB card. What a great gift for a teen going off to college, or for any man. It's to the point, something they appreciate.
