One of my blogger friends had this post on her blog.  I’m shocked to hear that Colorado Pen is so rude to potential customers and bloggers.  I think anyone who thinks this is a horrible way to treat their customers should send an email, or write a letter, tweet and/or post a blog about this company.   Let’s make them realize how much influence us mommy bloggers have. This was in response to an email: 
Barefoot Mommies sent to Colorado Pen.

To see what I’m talking about please read Grissell’s blog post:

Ruelala.com has designer boutiques at low prices.  Today’s boutiques (Feb 27) include Juicy Couture, Catherine Malandrino, Whiting and Davis, Tarte cosmetics, Douglas Kirkland, The Culinary Institute of America cookware, and St. Supery Vineyards and Winery.

Just for making a free account on the site you get $10 in your account.  For each friend you refer that makes their first purchase you get another $10 in your account.  They have great items like Juicy Couture hoodies and pants for $49 ($39 with your account credit).  The Tarte cosmetics has their “Tarte Eyequatics waterproof set” for $15 (only $5 with your account credit). 

Some of the Tarte Cosmetics would have even been free with the account credit except they’re sold out.  Which brings me to another point.  These boutiques usually only last a day or two. Items sell out quickly.  I’ve been saving my account credit for a rainy day (or a great purchase to make it free or nearly free 🙂 )

I’ve browsed the site and they’ve had great designer stuff on different days.  You never know what exciting designer they’ll list.  I’ve seen Diesel, J and Company jeans, Invicta watches and lots of others.  Low prices compared to what you would pay retail.

Surfing the web as a usually am, I come across  ChunkyBling.com so i decided to check it out. The have bracelets, rings, interchangeable watches, and necklaces with the great chunky style that a lot of women are wearing.

The watches were my favorite on the site. You choose the watch face and band.  You can get a couple bands and change up your style.

ChunkyBling.com also has interchangeable charm necklaces made from silver.

As I continued browsing the website I saw that they offer online jewelry parties.

I’m seriously considering holding one of these parties so if you’d like an invite you can email me:  angiewith3@live.com and ask for an invite.  If I get a few interested I’ll surely do it.

It’s kind of like a free ebay. You get free credits for just signing up.  You get free credits for connecting to your facebook and twitter.  You get free credits for referring people to the site.  You get free credits for listing your first auctions.  You get the idea.

Use your credits to bid on items.  It looks like you do have to pay for shipping on some items however and some are for local pick up only.

I totally missed the folk dance part of the ice dancing where the Russians are getting heat for the inaccurate aboriginal dance.  I did however catch their performance last night where they had ropes attached to their costumes that they used to do their lifts. So ok, it was allowed because there is nothing in the rules. It bothered me though watching their performance. It just felt like they were cheating to me.

After their performance the commentator made a statement with something to the affect that, we would probably see a new rule regarding costumes in the next olympics due to the ropes.  I mean, all the other countries are using their hands and lifting/flipping/carrying their partners in that way.  It seems to me that’s the way it should be.  The Olympics are the best of the best.

I probably could have got over it,  until,  the Russians bumped the Americans out of 3rd place to medal. It just didn’t seem right to me.  What is your take on it?

I have a link to a story i found regarding the aboriginal performance:

And one to the costumes from last nights performance, found this on another blog and completely agree with her:
