Fantasy Jewelry Box - Review & Giveaway (U.S. Only)

I am a bargain shopper. Really. I have a hard time paying $25.00 for a pair of jeans. Sad but true. I figure why pay full price when I can get a gift card off a deal site for 50% off or wait until I get a store coupon? Very rarely will you find me paying full price for anything other than my bills, and boo - taxes! So naturally when I found Fantasy Jewelry Box I was thrilled!

My husband use to buy me beautiful Jewelry. I had a cute heart pendant diamond necklace and beautiful white gold earrings which ended up missing last summer. I filed a police report but have heard nothing. They were beautiful and sentimental and ..... expensive. Buying jewelry like that doesn't fit into the budget anymore with two kids, a mortgage, and all the other stuff! So I have just been going without any new jewelry, until now!

Fantasy Jewelry Box carries all the beautiful jewelry you see the stars wearing only they make knock off ones at great prices. So now you can own celebrity jewelry without breaking the bank! After my jewelry coming up missing I am more careful with the jewelry I still have. For example, they have imitation diamond rings. Well, when I go on vacation I drop my wedding ring off at Shane Co. to be cleaned & wear a fake one while I am out of town! Well, the diamond (fake one) fell out of my fake ring last vacation so I have been needing a new one. Plus I really wanted one that looked real! Well, look at this beautiful knock off I found at Fantasy Jewelry Box!

Can you say BLING BLING? I absolutely LOVE this ring. It is gorgeous and perfect for me to take on vacations! Here are a few of my other favorite things that Fantasy Jewelry Box has.

Well as if the beautiful jewelry & their great prices aren't enough.... they have great customer service too!

I was pretty sure I wore a size 7 ring, when I got it though it was too big! I e-mailed them to ask if I could exchange it for a size 6 and to my surprise they agreed and told me to wait for the return envelope they would send so that I would not have to pay any shipping costs!

How cool is that? I was the one that ordered the wrong size and they were willing to pay the return shipping and to ship me the replacement out! That alone would keep me a returning customer. Customer Service is a HUGE factor on where I shop and I was so happy with their customer service and their jewelry so I will definitely be back for more!

CHECK YOUR LOCAL WALMART CLEARANCE!

If you're going to Walmart today make sure you check out their clearance! I normally hate Walmart clearance. It is usually is something like $14.00 - Was $14.86. Seriously less that $1.00 off and they call it clearance? Well this weekend they had some GREAT DEALS! Not sure if all Walmart's are doing it but the manager at mine said he had a load of fertilizer coming in the next day so they were trying to clear out some of the stuff to make room! Which was great for me - I seriously spent about 3 or 4 hours just waiting as he marked more items down. Here are a few of the items I got at great deals.

See this Mr. coffee Frappe maker? Yum yum..... I think it is a pretty decent deal at Amazons $69.99 since each Frappe I buy at the local coffee shop costs me $5.00 this is only 14 days of buying a coffee's cost! Well I got it for $20.00 this weekend at Walmart.

Or how about new comforters? I picked up new Comforter/Sham sets for $5.00 each (I got two Full/Queen Size and 2 Twin size).
Oral B ProCare 1000 Toothbrushes were on clearance for $67.00 but that day I got each of us one for $20.00 each (if any of you have some soft of Oral B coupon this would make for a great time to use it!)
NICE frying pans were $3.00 to $5.00 each. NICE wash rags were $0.50 each.... the deals go on and on.... $30.00 toys for $2.00, etc..... I spent $180.00 and had a full trunk, full back seat, and full passenger seat, and a HUGE SMILE! So if you're headed to Walmart check the clearance and hopefully yours has some great deals!

UMI SHOES - REVIEW & GIVEAWAY - US & CANADA

I have previously reviewed some awesome boy boots from Umi Shoes! You can see that review here: http://dirtytruthreviews.blogspot.com/2010/12/umi-shoes-review-giveaway.html

I already knew I loved the boots for my son. I was excited to do another review to find out how I felt about their girls shoes though! They are so cute and I was really hoping they would be as high quality as the boots! Here are the shoes I got for my daughter.

I loved that they velcro and how darn cute they are! A few of my other favorite shoes they have are below.

Now for the Dirty Truth on the Umi Shoes. The shoes I got (chickadee) are just as high quality as the boots I had previously got. She has already got them muddy, wet, etc and they clean off so well and look just as good as new. They are easy for her to put on herself (which is a must at this age since she is Ms. Independent and wants to do everything herself!) My favorite thing about these shoes is how sturdy they are, you can tell they will last her until she grows out of them. You can tell with the quality that even after she outgrows them I will be able to hand them down to my niece! I absolutely love them and remain a HUGE Umi Shoes fan!

Also, they are having a great contest right now you might want to enter. You can go to their website: UmiShoes.com for more information!

TO BUY: You can buy UmiShoes online at www.Umishoes.com

TO WIN: One lucky reader will win a pair of Umi Shoes! - Complete ALL Mandatory entries below and any Optional/Bonus entries you want - Leave a separate comment for each and make sure your e-mail address is in each comment!!! (U.S. & Canada Only)

VEGAS RESORTS/HOTELS REVIEW

I contacted 2 companies to review their hotels in Vegas. Caesars properties & MGM Properties. While neither of these properties were able to comp the room or provide you with a giveaway :( I did get a response from both of them! MGM Properties PR contact sent me a very professional e-mail declining the offer. While Caesars properties PR contact Jaqueline offered me a media discount. She then later said she had looked at my blog and wouldn't offer me the media discount because it was a family blog and Vegas is not a family location.

I must have forgot that I have kids when I planned this trip to Vegas I guess? Forgot they are my priority? Or wait, maybe I figured even mommies and daddies like to get away! Even though my kids are a top priority my marriage is too. Getting away every once in a while is a great thing for a marriage and since it will be our 5 year anniversary (and I just found out my cousin is going to get married in Vegas as well) I decided we totally deserve to get away for a weekend! So yes I am proud to say I am a family woman. I am proud to have a family friendly blog. I am proud to be open-minded enough to know that even a mother of two children can have a great time in Las Vegas!!!! I would really think that a Public Relations position should require someone to be professional. Plus, really what is the media discount? $5 or $10 a night? Couldn't they turn down the $15 cost on their end with a little bit of decency? I am kind of excited at they didn't because now we are staying somewhere great!

Needless to say - we will not be staying at any of Caesars Properties. We are staying at Monte Carlo for a couple nights and then at Bellagio for a night. I am so excited, we got a Lakeview Deluxe Room at Bellagio for a GREAT deal. Cheaper than any other "nice" resort in Vegas! I totally recommend signing up for their players club online if you are planning a trip because you will get e-mailed tons of great deals! How romantic will it be to be on a high floor in the Bellagio watching the fountains? Well, I will let you know in July! I cannot wait for this needed vacation and to let you all know how it goes at these resorts! We aren't going to be there too terribly long but if there is anything you've been wondering about or wanting reviewed in Vegas let me know and I will try to make some time!
