Review: eShakti and My Ruffle Trim Floral Spray Maxi Dress....

I would like for thank everyone for joining me for my FIRST clothing review!!! yay!

I was honored to have the chance to review eShakti, an online custom clothing company.They do everything from dresses to coats with the option of being made specifically to the measurements you send in. Its real easy...just shop the site, pick your goodies, and enter your measurements. Most items ship in three days, so you are not waiting two weeks for a dress.

My favorite thing about eShakti ( which means power in Sanskrit), is that the sizes from 0-26W. Small women have fit problems just like Plus Size Divas.I'm a proud size 18 and I'm short and curvy so eShakti is right up my alley!
I choose to have the Ruffle Trim Floral Spray Maxi Dress (above)to be done in my measurements. I wanted a maxi dress in a solid color because I couldn't find one on the racks that was completely solid colored and didn't make me look pregnant! I also wanted a maxi dress that I didn't have to wear a strapless bra with, because God knows, a size 44D strapless bra with a reasonable price is hard to come by.
The dress arrived within three business days of ordering. The fit in the waist and hips are perfect! The length of the dress was crafted correctly for my 5'0 even frame and has worn perfectly with wedges and flats. However the bust was bit off. With a bra, its slightly too tight. The strap fit was perfect too. I have narrow shoulders, so straps tend to slide down. The straps on the maxi dress didn't move.

The Ruffle Trim Floral Spray Maxi Dress is made of 100% Cotton and comes in seven other colors. eShakti is also a perfect option for bridesmaid or hostess dresses.

I plan on getting a custom black blazer done for the fall. Its the perfect investment and all-around piece. I can't wait!!!

Have I found it?: A Possible MAC Lavender Whip dupe....

Over the last year, one product has haunted me because I didn't get it when it came out. That would be the infamous MAC Lavender Whip lipstick. Of course, when it debuted, I was broke as a joke and had no coins to pick it up. And it sold out at counters and PRO stores with only few on Ebay( for crackhead prices and still on Ebay for crackhead prices and USED!) But I believe in a dupe, honey buns. Somewhere and somehow I believed that the elusive Lavender Whip was out there in another, cheaper brand.

And I might have found it:)

One of the BSS' in my hamlet of a town sells a brand called NK or Nicka K, that I've probably talked about before. This is the brand of the NK HD shadows and NK polish, that quality could rival the big girls of nail lacquer.

The tube had no name, no product number....its just a creamy lavender...I believe its slightly darker that Lavender Whip but as close as one can get...
Here it is paired with a grey smoky eye...no gloss no liners...
Honey buns, what ya'll think? If you have LW, let me know how close I might be to a miracle!!lol!

Glamour Grub: POM Wonderful and The Glam Chiller!

Hey Cousins!!

Besides being the mother of snack-a-holics, I admit, I'm bit of a snack-a-holic myself. I try to do my snack addition a bit healthier with fruits, veggies, hummus, crackers, popcorn, and juice. That's why I was pretty excited to receive a care package of POM Wonderful.

POM Wonderful is 100% Pomegranate Juice. Its all-natural and it contains NO sugars, preservative, colors or cheap filler juices. Their orchards are located in California's sunny San Joaquin Valley and they never used imported juice.

I decided to added POM Wonderful to the snack line up for a mid-afternoon pick me up and I created the "Glam Chiller"! It's so easy to make and you can adapt this easily to a night time beverage with vodka.

Here's what you will need for the Glam Chiller:

1/4 cup of ginger ale

1/2 cup of POM Wonderful

1/2 of a small can of pineapple juice

as much ice as you like

cold glass

and a straw for sipping

Mix the top three ingredients together for a ice cold twist on POM Wonderful. I would suggest, if making this alcoholic, a very smooth shot( which I think is an ounce) of Vodka.

I pair this with a snack of Laughing Cow Cheese Wedge in Garlic Herb and couple of Keebler Town House Flatbread Crisps in Sea Salt and Olive Oil....Yummmy!!!!

Please visit POM Wonderful for more details and lots and lots of recipes!
