I’m a long time fan of NOVICA. My husband has bought me jewelry from the site. I’ve bought myself a few things. We’ve bought a number of things for our home too. LOVE the hand blown glasses we have.

This time around working with NOVICA I had my eyes on the coconut shell belts. See I’ve developed a Lularoe addiction over the last several months.  I kept thinking the coconut shell belts would go great with my tunics and some of my dresses.  I was able to get that and still have enough money to buy myself a pair of earrings!

ZERO FOXTROT – Veteran Owned Company Gift Idea for Veterans and Military

I mentioned in a previous post about Zero Foxtrot that my hubby is a veteran of the Iraq War and Kosovo.  He served 6 years in the army. My husband also has a sense of humor. He discovered Zero Foxtrot about a year or so ago.  He loves it. For his birthday, Father’s day, and now Christmas he usually has at least one thing from Zero Foxtrot on his list.

Zero Foxtrot is a US Marine veteran owned and operated company. “We provide unique products that reflect the old school vintage military lifestyle”.  My husband found one of his favorite mugs on the site with some old military humor for Operation Iraqi Freedom” which he was a part of.

Their mugs are heavy quality mugs handmade in the US. They are oven, microwave, and dishwasher safe. My husband actually has several Zero Foxtrot mugs because he likes them so much.

They also have a Zero Foxtrot Mystery Box on the site. It says it includes new and never before seen products. At $67 a box I wondered if it’s worth the price. We got one and boy, is it ever! It was packed full of Zero Foxtrot items.

The skull with the ZF is their logo so you see it on a lot of their items. I’m gonna try to name everything that was in the box but there was so much.  A drawstring bag, a car flag, several Zero Foxtrot stickers, a bottle opener, a T-shirt, a baseball hat, a coffee sample, a velcro patch, a death card,and a couple wrist bracelets. Honestly the shirt and the hat if you were to buy them would be nearly $50 so you get your moneys worth from the box.

My hubby LOVED the black on black Zero Foxtrot hat.  That was the first thing he focused on out of the box.

I bought hubby a Zero Foxtrot hoodie and he’s been wearing it every day since I got it for him. It’s really thick and warm. Quality made, you’re NOT getting cheaply made stuff with Zero Foxtrot.

I wanted to tell you that this post is NOT sponsored. My hubby truly enjoys this company. I wanted to include it in my holiday guide for ideas for veterans and military people (They have women’s items too). Honestly my dad was never in the military but he got a kick out of a lot of stuff on the site referencing some of his favorite old movies like Kelly’s Heroes.  I’m sponsoring a giveaway to Zero Foxtrot just to get the word out about this great company.

DISCLAIMER: The site does feature war themed product and some strong language

This bag was stuffed full of princess accessories.  My daughter was so excited to keep pulling stuff out of the bag.

She could not wait to try on all her new princess gear.  We were on the porch waiting for her brother’s bus to stop and I was helping her get all dressed up.  Then she wanted to go down the drive way to get brother off the bus because she wanted everyone to see her as a princess. The neighbor was sitting out on the porch and was smiling and commenting about her being dressed up.

Little Cosmetics Pretend Makeup Set Review

holiday-guide-2016

Last year my daughter started wanting to play in my make up. She’d seem to always go after my good make up and paint herself all up or draw on things with it.  It was almost my Urban Decay or Lancome, seemed like it was never my drugstore makeup.  Well, my Father in law wanted an idea for something to get her last year so I told him a pretend make up set. Instead he got her a make up set meant for young girls with lip gloss and glitter etc.  Well that was everywhere and I ended up throwing out what was left.

Little Cosmetics makes the PERFECT pretend make up for toddlers . Looks a lot like mommy’s or big sisters without the mess.

pretend make up set

The set I received has a make up pouch, make up brushes, a pretend pressed powder with puff, pretend blush, pretend eye shadow quad, pretend body glitter, and pretend perfume rollerball. This set looks so much like the make up I have.

So I know you might wonder if she really enjoyed playing with it.  The answer is yes. She was doing her make up, she was doing my make up, She wanted to take her make up pouch with her when we took her big brother to the orthodontist, she had to take it in Starbucks, and she took it to grandpa’s house.

toy make up

She felt so “grown up” having make up that was all hers.  She loves it and mommy doesn’t have to worry about cleaning up lip gloss off the couch or sweeping up crushed eye shadow off the bathroom floor.

Visit LittleCosmetics.com and see all the set they have to offer including the one I reviewed here.
