• Merry Christmas!

    I hope each and everyone of you have a wonderful and very Merry Christmas. Updating my blog’s SEO has officially entered the same category as cleaning behind the refrigerator. Necessary. Noble. Slightly horrifying. 🧹✨ Because nothing says “fun afternoon” like opening a five year old post and discovering half the images have vanished, three links lead to businesses that now exist only in memory, and somewhere deep in the code lives a font choice I definitely made during a caffeine spiral. Welcome to my glamorous life. Recently, I decided it was time to “freshen things up.” You know, a light polish. A little dusting. Instead, I uncovered what I can only describe as The Ghost of PBnWhine Past. This sneaky little phantom floats through my blog at night deleting pictures like a Victorian librarian with a grudge. “Oh, you liked that step by step craft tutorial with helpful photos?”Poof. Gone. “That product review with beautifully staged shots?”Vanished into the ether. Now posts look like: Step 1: Do the thingStep 2: [image missing]Step 3: Trust me Very helpful. Ten out of ten. No notes. And don’t get me started on the links. Nothing keeps you humble like clicking a reference and…

  • Bamoer Princess Cut CZ Bridal Set Review

    Bridal set

    I LOVE this Bamoer 2-Pieces White Gold-Plated Princess Cut Round Brilliant Diamond CZ Ladies Women Bridal Set.  The Bamoer is an absolutely stunning set and I couldn’t be happier. When I first saw it, I was shocked at how real and sparkly this ring is. Career Perfect Bridal Set I’m a hair stylist and am ALWAYS  ruining my jewelry.  I ordered this set so that I could enjoy wearing a nice ring set similar to my original wedding and engagement rings, while doing hair, without having to stress about color and styling products ruining it. It is PERFECT!  I’ve worn it every day since it arrived, it has been submerged in water and hair chemicals and still looks brand new. Will You Marry Me Now…I have to admit that when I first got it (and did so without telling my dear hubby) my husband kind of freaked out on me! He was like, “Where did you get that from? Who bought that for you? I didn’t buy that for you so what will you tell everyone when they ask you about your new wedding set?” Etc…sheesh! I had no clue it would bug him that I was wearing something other than my…

  • EGRD Wireless Bluetooth Neckband Style Headphones Review

    Wireless retractable ear phones

    This is the most unique pair of headphones that I own. First, the sound is outstanding. I get clear, crisp sound from my iPad and my Samsung Galaxy S4. The look is matte black with silver accents. BEAUTIFUL!! The EGRD Wireless Bluetooth Neckband Style Headphones are comfortable to wear because the body of these headphones rests behind your neck, lightweight and oh so comfortable. The ear buds pull out very easily and fit snug and comfortably in my ears. When I’m done listening to music, touch two small buttons on the side for auto-retracting the ear buds. VERY COOL!! All of the buttons are easily felt, so you don’t have to take the headset off to turn them off, adjust volume, switch songs or answer the phone. This headset also folds up nicely to tuck in my backpack or my purse. LOVE!! Connecting my headset couldn’t be any faster if it tried. SX-991 pops up with lightning speed. One touch and BAMB connected.Talking on my phone couldn’t be easier. The button is easily found on the outer arm along with an on/off switch, and volume control. I am THRILLED with this headset!! Bass! WOW! Rich bass! I’ve tried everything from…
