Violet Love review + giveaway

I found this awesome site on instagram a few weeks ago 

for Violet Love Headbands. 

When I found them I knew I had to have one for when I go workout. 

Since I am growing out my bangs I need something to keep them out of my eyes. 

So when I saw them I knew they'd be perfect for that!

I contacted them immediately asking if they'd like me to 

do a review + giveaway for them.

I was super excited when they said they'd love to.

They sent me the cutest headband from the vintage VL line.

Abella headband

It's super cute 

and it stays in place while working out. 

I love that it stays put.

If I don't have to fix it that's a huge plus because then I don't have to worry about it.

I love them so much 

and plan on getting some more in the very near future.

I AM Inspirational headband

Well they agreed to send another one out for one of you to win!

See that one above ^^

One of you will get to win it.

W8Fit Review + Giveaway

I found this amazing clothing line called W8fit that makes clothing that 

you can add weights to. 

How cool is that?!

They have capris and workout tanks that you can add weights to

and also have weighted cuffs for your wrists 

and even have a weight belt for around your waist.

They also have some adorable workout tanks that have some cute sayings on them.

And they were so very kind to send me one of the Namaste tanks to review for you guys.

Cardio Tank

I absolutely love this tank top!
It is super duper soft and really comfortable
and it stays in place while working out
which is a huge thing for me.
I do not like when my workout clothes need to be adjusted all the time.
I like having them stay in place so I don't have to worry about fixing them the whole time.
The main reason for this is that I am super self-conscious about my body
and I don't want anything showing at all!
So when I was working out and it didn't move I was ecstatic!
I highly recommend you getting one of these comfy tops.

Namaste Tank

Training Tank

Now here's the even more awesome part... 

They are going to give one of my lovely readers the This Beauty Trains Like a Beast tank.

How awesome is that?! 

It's the same type of tank as the one I was given so I know it'll be just as amazing.

So here's what you gotta do ::

• Throughout the month my sponsors will be featured in a sponsor introduction post where you can highlight yourself, blog and/or shop. Or whatever you feel like highlighting. 
• You will also have the option to do a guest post and/or giveaway.
• Your button/ad will be placed in the right hand column.
• Your ad will go up on the first day of the month and will come down on the first day of the next month.

July Sponsor Swap

So I got the pleasure of doing sponsor swaps with these lovely ladies for the month of July. We will be hosting each others buttons for the whole month. Also each of them will be doing a guest post or a giveaway on my blog sometime during the month which is very exciting for me because this will be the first time that I will be having a giveaway or a guest post! It's going to be a very exciting month for my little blog so stay tuned for some new goings on around here. I asked each of these ladies to write a little bit about their blog so that you could get to know each of them a little bit.


Summer from Crosbie Crew::

Hi, my name is Summer and I'm married to Mr. Crosbie and the mama to two future heart-breakers, Hudson and Parker.  I work from home (ok I'm a stay-at-home-mom) and it's harder than any other job I've had before but the rewards are so much better! We fill our home with laughter, kisses, craziness and some amazing dance moves. I try my best to find my girly time in a house full of boys.  My cameras document our daily life that I love to share.  Enjoy and buckle up because this might be a bumpy ride!

Paige from This Little Life::

Hi! I’m Paige and I write a little blog called this little life….

I started blogging a few years ago when I became a certified Life/Career Coach. At that time my blog was entitled That’s Life and I blogged about coach-related topics: goal setting, self-improvement, careers, that kind of stuff.  I loved reading blogs and the blogs that I was attracted to were blogs written by women about motherhood and home life. So, my blog became this little life… and I started posting more personal stuff, photos of my family and my home, etc.

My husband and I live on the south shore of Long Island in a 1933 craftsman house that we have made our home over the last six years. In November 2006 we were married and welcomed our baby girl in May 2011. She has filled our lives with overwhelming joy! 


In addition to writing I enjoy the beach, decorating my home, dancing and laughing with friends and family while creating memories. The little things in life matter the most to me and it doesn't take a heck of a lot to make me happy! I am so excited to embark on the journey that is motherhood and look forward to connecting with awesome people I "meet" in the blog world. 

Tracey from Hidden Cupcakes:: 

I'm Tracey Lynne.

A girly girl Mom of 4 boys on the hunt for those “perfectly portioned doses of fabulous”

(A.K.A. Hidden Cupcakes)

And I am SUPER excited to team up with Libby! Isn't she adorable?

So...about me:

I spend my days: Playing Superhero, Staging impromptu photo shoots, Singing in place of talking (yes, as though my life were a musical), and indulging my creative side through my Etsy SHOP!

On EXTRA special nights...I go on dates with my hubs.

(those nights aren't often enough with 4 boys needing a sitter)

Normal nights, we "date in". I like normal nights too.

It’s not the most glamorous life. But it’s mine and I wouldn’t change a thing!

Granted, It’s not easy getting my “girly” on in the boy filled world I live in.

But…I like a Challenge! You should come see what I found at Hidden Cupcakes!

Join the Hunt!

Abby from *Neinast* Life at it's Finest::

I love crafting, experimenting in the kitchen, and have a long list of honey do’s for my husband as we settle into our first home. Now that he’s finished with school, we’re looking forward to our next stage of life. Who knows what that is, but together we’re living life at it’s finest!

Renee from Adventures of a New Mom::
