Shopping Your Way: Become.com

May 26, 2012 1 Comment

When I shop for anything, my top priority is to get a good deal and find a good value for my money. Become.com is a price comparison site that lets you search for the best deals on the items you want. And you can shop for anything from computers and electronics to home decor and health and beauty products.

So for example, if you wanted to find a square tablecloths 54 x 54 for this weekend’s Memorial Day Barbecue, you will find a vast selection pulled from a variety of retailers. And on this particular search you’d see something to fit any style and budget, including selections from Saks.com to Overstock.com.

This is also a great way to shop for your home improvement items. Upon moving in to our home, a lot of home improvement work was done, including lighting and electrician work,and we also just replaced the plugs in our bathrooms. Upon searching for supplies like the siemens energy g4040b1200 200a 40/40 main and the 20 amp duplex outlet, I found results from Lowe’s, Grainger, Overstock,and Amazon, and I found some great deals.

And Become.com also has a product research engine where you can look for advice on the products before you buy. This includes buying guides as well as product reviews. Go over and see what kind of deals you can find!

In my area of the country the weather feels pretty nice one day, and then the next day I’m wearing my big coat again, but whatever the weather I know that spring is right around the corner! And with that, comes fun spring holidays like St. Patrick’s Day and Easter!

Celebrate spring this year with fun spring gift baskets from our friends at Holiday Gifts and Baskets! They have cute baskets for holiday gift giving, corporate gifts, and parties, and you can something for every occasion from birthdays to baby showers!

Get Fashionable (and Trendy) This Spring at The Trendy Boutique

January 22, 2012 Leave a Comment

If you’re looking for the perfect Valentine’s gift or looking forward to wearing some new accessories this spring, please consider my sponsor, The Trendy Boutique. They have a super selection of jewelry, watches, handbags, flip flops, and more!

One thing I’d check out if I were you, is their selection of silicone watches. I received one of these in gray, which I reviewed here. It’s a really good looking watch, and since the color goes with just about anything, I’m wearing it almost every day!

And I’d also recommend their children’s selections. Since I don’t have a little girl, I never looked at this section of their website till now, but I was really impressed by the bags and hair accessories that I found.

But my favorite thing that I found in the children’s section was their Interchangelable Magnetic Jewelry! Very fun and cute!

And if you’re still dealing with winter weather, you should take a look at their scarves and head wraps. (I love this Houndstooth Tubular!)

And if you’ve really got spring fever, they have a really great collection of flip flops. And you can even design your own pair to fit your unique style!

Watch Giveaway from The Trendy Boutique

November 30, 2011 9 Comments

Today I’m excited to share a review and giveaway from my amazing sponsor The Trendy Boutique. If you’re shopping for females this holiday season, The Trendy Boutique is your one-stop shop! They have everything from scarves and handbags to watches and a TON of jewelry!

Whether you’re looking for something simple and cute or something fun with flair, they’ve got something to fit your style and personality!

Their jewelry lines include hand-stamped jewelry, photo jewelry, cabochon rings, beaded bracelets and earrings, charms, personalized jewelry, and more!

The Trendy Boutique sent me one of their silicone fashion watches for review. Their silicone watches come in a variety of hot colors and styles. You can choose everything from the color to the face size and shape, which makes these a perfect holiday gift.

My Review: I chose a petite watch in grey. These petite watches are the perfect size for ladies and kids. And I chose the grey color, because I thought it would go great with any outfit, which it does!

Another great thing about the silicone watches is they are durable and have a great look for casual wear, but I think if you choose certain colors and styles, the watch could well with some of your business casual and more dressy attire.

Again, they have many colors, styles, and sizes available, but here are just a few that I decided to showcase for you:

I know my niece would love this fun flowered face!

As many of you know, I love pink, so I, of course, love this hot pink watch!

And here’s an example of one of their square face watches. I also love this burgandy color. I think this would go so well with jeans or a black outfit.

And I, of course, had to add a Christmas watch. This watch featuring a cute snowflake on the face comes in both white and black bands! Cute!
Connect! Follow The Trendy Boutique on on Facebook and on Twitter and through their blog.
On Sale! For the holidays, The Trendy Boutique has all their watches on sale for just $9.99!!
Win it! One Simply Sweet Home reader will win the watch of their choice!

Holiday Gifts at AliLilly

November 28, 2011 1 Comment

All this month I’ve been bringing you some holiday gift ideas. Today we’ve got a guest post from one of my fabulous sponsors and bloggy friends. It’s Ami from AliLilly.

Hello there Simply Sweet Home readers! I’m so excited to be a part of Jerri’s Holiday Shopping Guide! I am Ami. A Christ follower. A wife to the most amazing man, David. I am a mother to a beautiful lil 3 year old girl. I am living my dream of staying home and raising our daughter. I love to make jewelry and other crafts.This is our story:

It all began after a five year struggle to get pregnant. Once I was pregnant I was put on bed rest for most of my pregnancy. Bored and out of TV shows to follow my sweet husband bought me several hemp jewelry making kits. I loved them. I had so much fun learning. After the first couple pieces I began adding my own influences instead of following the set directions. I must of made three pieces of jewelry for every family member and each friend I have.

Now a little more than two years later I’ve opened an etsy shop and have expanded my jewelry making skills.

I love creating pieces and especially love making custom requested pieces. I hope my love for creating can be seen in my work.

Tea Green & Pearls Earrings {HERE}

Christmas Yarn Wreath {HERE}

Christmas Bracelet {HERE}

Rosette Trio Headband {HERE}

For the holidays I’m running a 25% off sale. Use the code BLESSED. This code is good until Dec 31st of this year.

Berricle Snowflake Pendant Review

November 9, 2011 Leave a Comment

Jewelry is an excellent Christmas gift for one and all! This season check out Berricle, an online retailer specializing in beautiful silver and cubic zirconia jewelry.

Berricle.com was born in 2006 out of a vision to create the most customer friendly online jewelry store specializing in the most exquisite Silver Jewelry and Cubic Zirconia Jewelry in the US. We started out with a handful of carefully selected pieces but we presently boast over 1,500 enchanting designs selected for their quality as well as the aesthetic satisfaction they give.

I received one of Berricle’s Snowflake Pendant Necklaces. The beautiful snowflake design pendant necklace is made of fine sterling silver, plated with rhodium, and stamped with 925 quality mark. It is set with 20 dazzling bezel set, princess cut, AAA grade cubic zirconia stones that weigh 1.8 carat in total and accented with 24 glittering pave set, round, cubic zirconia stones that weigh 0.36 carat in total. The pendant measures 1 1/2 inch L X 1 1/4 inch W. Chain length is 18 inch. Spring ring clasp. Chain can be removable from pendant.

This is a lovely piece of jewelry. It has a simple, yet elegant style, which I love! The pendant has exquisite detail and is also an excellent size that should make anyone happy whether you like large or small jewelry.

The combination of the silver and cubic zirconia, along with the overall design also makes this a perfect piece of jewelry to where with any outfit this winter. It’s nice enough to wear with a formal gown, yet simple enough to wear with business casual attire or just a sweater and jeans.

Check out Berricle this holiday season!
