WooLoot Watches, you have to check them out!

I love accessories and I think that watches make beautiful accessories. I also like uniqueness in accessories and that is why I love WooLoot watches! WooLoot produces unique, colorful watches (as well as headphones, headwear and bags). The best thing about WooLoot is that their watches are designed to be both fashionable and sporty! A combination that you absolutely cannot go wrong with. When I head to the gym, I always take my watch off. With WooLoot, there is no need to take your watch off. They are durable and meant for both the athlete and fashionista. The price is unbeatable as well, starting at $19.99 and reaching a high of $39.99 which is a great price for a watch in my opinion. So head over to WooLoot and check out their products, you won't be disappointed!

❄Holiday Gift Guide 2010❄ Overall Beauty Mineral Eyeshadows Review & Giveaway

Holiday Gift Guide

Photobucket
I have said it before and I will say it again, I love mineral makeup. I have used many different brands and tried many different shades and I am extremely impressed with Overall Beauty mineral eye-shadows. I was given the opportunity to chose four mineral eyeshadows from Overall Beauty which were nicely packed in a handcrafted cosmetic bag (cosmetic bags are made by Little Worm). I chose:
Basic Black ~ Eyeliner
Photobucket
Matte White
Photobucket
Silver
Photobucket
Storm
Photobucket
I used the shades to create a beautiful smokey eye! The basic black is used as an eyeliner and is the best product ever, seriously! I highly recommend that you purchase this product. This was the first mineral eyeliner that I have ever used. The application was so easy (I applied it with a medium angle brush to my upper and lower lash line) and I was able to get a perfect line on my first try. This generally is time consuming for me, but with the basic black eyeliner, it took about a minute. The silver and storm shades look very similar in the color samples, but they are not. The storm shade is darker and has a more glittery effect. I am in love with this color. I used the silver as my base shade, applied storm to the crease and blended it in the outer corner of my eyelids, I used the basic black as an eyeliner on both my lower and upper lashes and applied the matte white above my brow bone up to my eyebrows.
Photobucket
I love the fact that you only need a very small amount of each shade to create the ultimate look. Rule of thumb, always start with a small amount and apply more as needed. A little bit goes a long way, especially when you are working with mineral makeup.
If you haven't worked with mineral eye shadows before, Overall Beauty has a great
article with a video to help you out.

Overall Beauty has generously offered one lucky One Haute Mommy reader the chance to win a set of four mineral eyeshadows (winner chooses the shades). Can't wait? Get it now.

❄Holiday Gift Guide 2010❄ Okabashi Casual Sandals Review

Holiday Gift Guide

Photobucket
Going green or have someone on your Christmas list that is? Well I have the perfect gift for you. Okabashi shoes! Okabashi recycles shoes to create new ones. Amazing!
How does Okabashi shoe recycling work?

Okabashi recycling starts with the raw material that we use to make the shoes. It's a specially formulated, patented, recyclable blend of plastics called Microplast. The material is unique in that it can be softened and remolded. It is also far more durable than the plastics used in other similar sandals and shoes, so your shoes should last at least 2 years. Okabashi also refrains from using adhesives to glue shoes together. Adhesives cause contamination, which makes recycling very difficult.

When the Okabashis finally do show enough wear that they need to be recycled, just send them to us. After they arrive, our team will inspect them for contaminants. If the shoes are contamination-free, we grind them up and blend the little pieces of previously molded Okabashis into the mixture for new Okabashis. The plastics are softened at temperatures that do not release any unhealthy chemicals into the environment, and then remolded into new, beautiful Okabashi shoes.

All Okabashi shoes and sandals are also made in the US. Okabashi employs 250 full time workers in Georgia. Because Okabashis are produced here in the US, there is a lot less travel involved in shipping them (compared to other brands). This means a huge reduction in the carbon footprint of the product - which is good for the planet.
Photobucket
I was sent the Maui Flip-Flops to review and I think they are fabulous. They are very stylish and chic. They are incredibly comfortable and durable. The Maui Flip-Flops have massage beads that focus on the arch and midfoot making these flip-flops extremely comfortable. You can purchase the Maui Flip-Flops here for only $14.99.
Photobucket
But wait! As if Okabashi shoes couldn't get any better, they have an amazing deal going on right now. You can get 12, yes 12 pairs of Okabashis, for $100. That is $8.34 a pair! It gets even better because orders over $40 get free shipping. Click here to get "the deal" (you have to call in your order to get the deal).

Who do you give gift boxes of chocolate to?

Photobucket
Yum yum! I have yet to find a person who doesn't appreciate a box of chocolates! Each year around the holidays I give and received at least one box of chocolates! I give chocolates to our family and friends. I also put small boxes of chocolates in my childrens stockings. Boxed chocolates are great to stock up on for the people that you forget, and yes we all forget someone accidentally. Plus if you stock up on them and don't forget anyone, than you have left-overs and come on, we cannot let chocolate go to waste. Hersey's Pot of Gold chocolates are one of my favorties because they are prepacked cute enough that you do not need to wrap them. Check out www.celebratewithhersheys.com to view all of the yummy chocolate for this holiday season.

Disclaimer: I am entering a contest for a Hershey’s Pot of Gold prize pack as a member of the Mom Bloggers Club.
