Essentials for Your Oils!






This essential oils kit contains everything you will need to get started with aromatherapy--just add the oils! I started collecting and using essential oils last May and quickly acquired a few dozen. I use them for skin care, to add to shampoo, in my diffuser and to clean my kitchen and bath. There are two issues I've had, however, and this kit solves them both. First, I needed a way to pack some oils to take with me when I travel, and second, I needed storage for my larger bottles.

The kit comes with a beautiful wooden hinged box with gold-tone hardware. The box contains twenty five separate compartments to hold bottles, and the latch keeps it closed securely. Also included with the kit are eight 2 ml. bottles for carrying a small amount of oil in each. Those bottles are an amber glass, which prevents deterioration of the oils from light, and have included opening reducers to allow for the oils to be dispensed in small droplets. Eight pipettes allow for easy transfer of oil from larger bottles to the 2 ml. bottles. Finally, there is a zippered key chain in the kit that, when opened, exposes elastic restraints to hold the small vials.

Finally, I am able to use oils in hotels when I'm on business trips, in the car and at work without having to worry about bottles breaking in my luggage or handbag. I also have a beautiful storage option for my oils at home.

Overall, highly recommended! Note that I received a discount on this kit in exchange for an honest and unbiased review.

Cutlery For Grownups!


The Imperial brand is synonymous the world over with quality cutlery. This nine piece kitchen set accurately reflects that stellar reputation.
First, each of the five included knifes are similar in design and graduated in size. They feature easy to grasp molded and brushed stainless steel handles, and stainless steel blades with an eye-popping granite coating that makes them fabulously non-stick. From the meat cleaver to the paring knife, each piece is sharp and sturdy and slices through food with ease Imperial has also included a heavy duty sharpening rod to keep a razor's edge on each piece of cutlery. They didn't just stop with the knives, however, as they've also included a vegetable peeler AND a pair of durable kitchen shears.

To make this set complete, an acrylic stand is provided upon which the knives can be stored and displayed. The stand consists of a tube to house the sharpening rod, a bracket for the kitchen shears and individual acrylic "blade sleeves" for the knives. It is finished at the base in a polished silver-tone that reflects the beauty of the knives.

This set looks AMAZING in my kitchen, as the granite knives match my counters, and the stand makes a wonderful display. Highly recommended set for the professional or casual cook. Note that I received a discount on this set in exchange for an honest and unbiased review.

A Wallet Without The Heft!







This wallet truly exceeded my expectations. My husband is constantly having to fight a thick wallet from the back pocket of his trousers. It's not that the pants are tight, but rather that the wallet is ridiculous! I saw this and knew it was the perfect solution.

First, the leather is BUTTER soft with a beautiful natural grain. The color is a rich rusty brown that looks both professional and sophisticated. All stitching is neat, tight and even, with no loose threads whatsoever. Aesthetically, it just couldn't be more appealing and is the definition of high quality.

The center of this wallet features a gold-finish money clip that snugly holds paper bills and keeps them in place when the wallet is folded. There is a clear window slot on the outside of the wallet (it allows you to see and show your driver's license in a snap) and allows easy access via a cut out portion to push out the card with one finger. If you've ever fought a license out of one of those clear pockets, you will appreciate the access! The inside of the wallet features three slots on either side, each generously sized, and a beautiful embossed logo. Finally, the front has a pouch for a frequently used card.

This wallet came beautifully gift boxed as well, which makes it perfect for the holidays! Overall, highly recommended! Note that I received a discount on this purchase in exchange for an honest review.
