Parazul is a new line of handbags and accessories that has been inspired by vacation destinations.  This fresh, exciting new line is perfect for every day or for dressing up.  The bag I received for review is a scarf bag.  On their website you are able to build your Scarf Bag, Classic Bag, Slim Bag and Messenger Bag.  This paired with their included charms and scarf makes the perfect bag.

I received my Scarf Bag in white with tan trim, a beautiful Parazul charm and beige logo scarf.  The purse come complete in a soft flannel like bag for protecting your bag during storage.  It was packaged well to hold its shape as well.

Parazul certainly met and exceed my expectations.  I had fun on their site building different purses.  I do think I’m going to have to purchase the darling Purple Turtle Large Scarf in honor of our pet Darthy.

Their Beige Classic Bag is as beautiful as the one mentioned above.  This bag is named for its classic shape that will never be out of fashion.  It’s the right size to carry everything you need in simple, yet elegant style.  This bag matches almost everything you would wear.  The Charms  and Scraves give it a finishing touch and polished look.

The Parazula Scarves are 100% silk and are available in a variety of colors, styles, and sizes.  The large scarf is designed to fit the scarf bad perfectly.  Picking more than one scarf allows you to easily change to match each outfit with out the need to changed your purse.  Their  charms and wallets make the perfect match to your look.

Back-To-School isn’t just for pens, pencils and paper. But for dorm supplies too. DownLite has a great selection of Down Bedding for the dorm.
I haven’t really  heard the term twin XL bedding, but now, I know the meaning of it. Twin XL bedding is just that, XL! Take a look at the picture below.

This is the down comforter that came from DownLite‘s selection of Dorm Bedding sets. This is the twin XL, on my queen sized bed. Hubby and I have slept with it a few nights, and it’s ohhh soooo cozy! The down filled comforter is a silky 300 thread count fabric with a woven swiss dot pattern.

I love flopping into bed, and feeling the comforter puff up around me. It’s just a snuggly feeling! I didn’t think it would be quite wide enough for us to both snuggle into but it’s been just awesome. The pillows and fluff, the comforter … very, very cozy.

You don’t have to send your kiddo off to a dorm with a plain mattress, treat him or her to a down mattress pad, or even the comforter. You’ll be thanked time and time again. Even if you aren’t sending a child off to a dorm, consider this for a gift.

Need help for decorating or living dorm life? Then you need to check out DormWise.com

Win It: One of you will win 3 piece twin bedding set just like I received.

Buy It: $100

Around a year ago, Winter and I were going back and forth about which blogging platform we wanted to use blogger or wordpress. I said blogger, she said wordpress … she always wins, but this was one I’m glad she won, as over the last year we have watched those on blogger or blogspot have numerous problems. Score one for Winter.

We have had our name, well both of our names purchased but we just couldn’t make up our minds what we were going to do with them. Did you know we first began as a forum?

And here we are, 1 year later with our BlogAVersary!

Thank you to all of our readers for being such a valuable part of our site. Hope to enjoy ourselves for another year to come!

Every witch needs a black cat I guess.  My daughter thought this was funny so I wanted to share.
