Save the Dates and Invitations Review/DIY

The best, cheapest options I came up with for Save the Dates for both DIY and buying are:

They have limited save the date templates that are somewhat customize-able. You will have to print these yourself and buy your own envelopes. They also have some really cool customizable monograms that you can use for anything, including your cell phone wallpaper!

The great thing about Ann's is you can order absolutely FREE samples to see how the Save the Dates - and invites - really look and feel. A lot of other sites I looked into charges for samples. The samples get to you within a week or so and my samples came with a coupon code for my future order which was great. All the Save the Dates and Invites I saw include the envelopes and the more you buy, the cheaper each one costs. I loved my Save the Dates and Invitations and then had to go back and order more Invitations. They are quick with shipping... The ONLY negative thing is that when I entered the coupon code it didn't reflect correctly and I had to chat or call in to fix it- but they fixed it right away.

(Vista Print was also a thought but didn't make the top two choices. I didn't like that at the time, we had to pay for samples and Vista Print was more expensive than Ann's. Who knows- maybe they won't charge in the future for samples, but I wouldn't pay for samples.)

Louis Vuitton Purse Organizer from www.pimpmyspeedy.com Review

Image
ORIGINAL POST (2/6/13): I bought my first Louis Vuitton bag from Saks and purchased a Speedy 30. The 25 was too small and the 30 was just right. I thought the bag was perfect until.... I put all my things into my purse and started toting it around and I did NOT like the way the bottom of the bag drooped. It was also very hard to find anything in my bag because everything was all over the place!! I put my bag away until I could find a solution. I started looking into purse organizers specifically for my Speedy and ran across www.pimpmyspeedy.com I was hesitant to buy from here but I am beyond satisfied! The shipping was fast and the overall price including shipping was a bargain. When I received the organizer, it did have a very strong "new" smell so I aired it out for two days before using. Once I placed it in by bag, the organizer completely took away the problem of the drooping of the bottom of the bag and it keeps all of my things handy. If I would change anyth

MetaGrip Ponytail Hooks Review

I got these ponytail hooks free from Sally's with a coupon for purchasing a different item. I bought the brown one and 5 come in the pack. There are other colors too. The package says it is for "easy and secure ponytails or braids" and the directions are "Wrap your ponytail, brad, or knot until the band feels secure and hook." The package says these are a "great option to traditional pony tail holders".  I bought them because I figured they would damage my hair less , it would be easier to use, and it would hurt less to have a ponytail so it doesn't feel too tight. I tried it out and it didn't work very well for me. I read that you can use them one of these ways: 1.) hook one hook on hair then hook the other hook to the band 2.) put the 2 hooks together 3.) hook one hook into hair then hook the other hook into the hook that is hooked to the hair The first two options simply didn't work for me; only the 3rd did.

Maybelline 205 Nearly There Lipstick Review

Image
I bought this lipstick at Target. I haven't had much luck with lipstick in general- maybe it's just me...? I didn't care too much for this lipstick. I bought it for $4.99 at regular price. It wasn't very smooth. I ended up wiping most of it off and topping it off with chap-stick like I do with all my other lipsticks to dilute them a bit. It was too glittery for me too or more shimmery than glittery really.
