They are items I love to use and display. You can find beautiful hand blown glass pitchers from Mexico, hand crafted teakwood photo frames from Thailand, or one of my kids’ favorite things is the marble tic tac toe game. I’m loving the gorgeous hand made Christmas decor too.

They have some new items for the holidays. One thing I liked that’s new on NOVICA is this beautiful photo frame from India.

Gift Idea for the Couponer from UltraPro

** I received the below mentioned products in order to complete an honest review. This post also contains amazon affiliate links. No other compensation has been received**

Couponing has becoming pretty popular. There are entire tv shows, blogs, websites, and classes dedicated just to couponing. Maybe you know someone who is an avid couponer. Perhaps you’ve been interested in couponing and want the right tools to get started. I started couponing seriously about 2 years ago. I still don’t do it to the extent of the extreme couponers but I use coupons as much as possible. After taking an online coupon class and reading a coupon book, I decided it was time to make up my coupon binder. I used what I had and purchased some coupon pockets. You can see my binder has received some love.

I kept thinking I needed a better binder but the frugalista I am, I kept putting it off thinking, it’s good enough. Then I came across the coupon organizers that are offered by UltraPro. They are much sturdier than my put together binder and come with the clear coupon pocket pages. They also have several different sizes depending on what you want it for. They come in different designs too so you can find one that fits your style. There are smaller ones you can stuff into a purse and large ones for the avid couponer.

Besides the fact that it was sturdy and more stylish than my old coupon binder, the large 3 ring one came with 40 coupon pocket sheets with different size pockets.

• Organizer includes 40 total pages with 235 pockets:
10 each – 9 pocket pages (pocket size – 2 ½” x 3 ½”)
10 each – 8 pocket pages (pocket size – 3 ⅞” x 2 ¾”)
10 each – 3 pocket pages (pocket size – 7 ⅞” x 3 ⅝”)
5 each – 6 pocket pages (pocket size – 2 ½” x 5 ¼”)
5 each – 1 pocket pages (pocket size – 8 ½” x 11”)

This one expands and can hold up to 80 pages!

The small one (that can fit in a purse) comes with sheets with a total of 180 pockets to use. The 4 pocket coupon organizer portfolio comes with 20 clear coupon pocket sheets.

All of them have pockets on the inside of the front and back of the binder and comes with a coupon terminology sheets so you can learn the coupon lingo and abbreviations which I found especially handy. As a couponer myself the only things missing when you buy these would be tabbed page dividers which you’ll want to divide your coupons up into sections. Tabbed dividers are usually pretty cheap and you can divide your coupon sections up however you want. For me I have sections like: Dairy, Baby, cleaning supplies, etc. I also keep a zipper pouch for 3 ring binders in mine that I keep grocery lists, scissors, and pens in. Still the larges one is only $19.99, the smaller 4 pocket organizer is only $6.99, and medium size 9 pocket organizer is only $10.99

The UltraPro Coupon organizers are available on Amazon:

You’ll Want to Get This Perfume: Eau Flirt by Harvey Prince

**I received the below mentioned product in order to complete a review. No other compensation has been received. Any opinions expressed are my own**

Before receiving Eau Flirt by Harvey Prince perfume to review I had not heard of it. I decided to do some research on it. I wanted to see what others were saying about it, kind of prepare myself . I’m kinda picky about my perfumes. I want the scent to last but I don’t want it to be overpowering. I prefer light, fresh, and sweet scents. I don’t like anything too musky or spicy. I came across this clip from the show The Doctors .

Eau Flirt has notes of pumpkin and lavender. Lavender is definitely a scent I like but I wasn’t sure about how I’d feel about a pumpkin lavender combo. When I opened up the box I got, what seemed to me, like a strong citrus type scent. I like citrus scents too but I still wasn’t sure. You know that perfumes can smell different on different people.

I sprayed a little on, that’s when I could actually smell the pumpkin notes and the lavender. This scent was amazing. It lasted for hours too. This is a perfect perfume for me. It gently lets you know it’s there it’s not in your face and overpowering. I had sprayed some on and was holding my baby girl . I set her down and my son’s friend picked up my daughter and said “oh she smells good!” After he was done holding her I picked her up and realized some of my perfume was on her clothes.

The bottle I received is a 3/4 oz spray bottle. Very generous sized perfume. I’ve worn it every day since I received it. If you are looking for a perfume to wear for the holidays or to give as a gift, this one is definitely a winner. The New York Times said it’s “The olfactory equivalent of a little red dress”. I thought that was an accurate description.

Eau Flirt is available on the Harvey Prince website: http://www.harveyprince.com for $55 for a 3.4 oz bottle.
