First of all, Happy Halloween from all the spooks at Wish List Worthy!
Pink October was a great success this year. We had such awesome sponsors, and hopefully raised a lot of money on behalf of Komen. Sadly it didn’t let me track the donations, but at the very least we helped spread the word about breast cancer awareness month.
Thank you to all who participated by sponsoring a giveaway, all who entered, and we want to send our well wishes to all of those who are fighting breast cancer, or know people who are. There were many stories in the comments about people who had been touched personally by the disease. It’s one of the many reasons we host Pink October in the first place, we too have known people with breast cancer, including both of my grandmothers.
Now we are moving into the holiday season! If you have a shop with awesome products, we would invite you to take part in our Holiday Gift Guide! If you are looking for great gift ideas, we are going to be posting items from our guide starting on November 15, so be sure to visit for some great ideas.
Have a Happy and Safe Halloween!!
I was able to try out a great line of shapewear called Slimpressions. They have three styles to choose from, two of which help slim your upper arms as well as the waist and midriff area. One style is a tank top which slims only the midriff.
All of them are very comfortable, however, I think that my favorite was what they call “The Haves”. Now, even though I don’t have upper arm wiggle and jiggle, the reason I liked “The Haves” is because it really created a slimming effect all over the body, with no extra bulge. While I did like “The Skinny Minis“, which is a tank top style, I did find that I got a tiny bulge at the top edge of the tank. It wasn’t enough of a bulge to be a problem, so I find myself using this piece more often than the other simply because the weather is still warm, but I have a feeling that once it’s much colder I will be living in “The Haves”.
There is one more piece in the collection called “The Have Nots“, which is similar to “The Haves”, but with out covering the bust line. I can see that this piece would be great for those who have a larger bust, or who want to show off their cleavage in an outfit but still have the benefit of slim wear. I didn’t find this one as comfortable as the other two, but it could be a nice choice for those with large busts.
Each piece comes in a choice of four colors (black, white, chocolate, and nude). There is also a nice range of sizing that fits all the way to a women’s size 22. They are all a nice long length, so they reach down to the hips. This does help avoid bunching up. I didn’t find them to ride up much, which is really important in shapewear since some do ride up and get uncomfortable.
Overall I reallly enjoyed the products and thought that they did a nice job of slimming while still being comfortable to wear. The other great thing is that Slimpressions offers a good range of sizes and styles to fit any woman. Wish list worthy indeed!
Alright, this is for all the Star Wars fans out there. You know who you are!
Anyone who is into Star Wars, has probably wanted one of these… sure, you probably wanted a full sized one that you could actually control and dominate your neighborhood with. But this motorized Walking AT-AT is ready to crush the Rebel Alliance at your command.
According to the site:
The mighty All-Terrain Armored Transport really walks forward or backward into battle! Features an opening cockpit and rotating laser cannons! Motorized Walking AT-AT really walks and its head moves up and down! Handle on top allows for easy transport! Stands over 12″ (30 cm) tall and over 14″ (36 cm) long! Includes AT-AT Pilot, General Veers, Snowtrooper and Luke Skywalker with grappling line and lightsaber! Includes battery box and motor! Requires 6 AA (1.5V) batteries, not included.
Who wouldn’t have fun playing with this?? Wish list worthy for sure!
When I was contacted by Fly High Joy I was really excited to be able to review their products. First of all, the plush heart jumping for JOY in red sneakers is just plain adorable! The shirt is high quality cotton and very soft, which is great because it makes it very comfortable to wear. The shirt gets a lot of double takes too, and everyone who has seen the plush just wants to hug it!
Both products are very high quality, but the mission of their shop is what really caught my attention. They started their shop with a desire to help people focus more on finding JOY in their lives. In fact, their motto is “Creating New Smiles Every Day”! I can tell you first hand, there is something about the smiling heart that does make me (and all who have seen it) smile. It’s great! And, smiling is actually good for your health! The products from Fly High Joy certainly help bring smiles to those who see them.
The kind folks at Fly High Joy have offered a special discount for readers of this blog. The plush heart would make a wonderful holiday gift for anyone in the family! The discount code is WLW1332, and is good through December 26, 2008. It will give you 10% off, and you may use the code as many times as you like until it expires.
We always love companies that are trying to spread a positive message and Fly High Joy does a great job doing just that.
