It's a hand-beaded metal patterned necklace with swags of fine chain references the ancient patterns of east and west, interlocking to create statement costume jewelry that is both modern and contemporary.

I’m sure some of you ladies can relate! Well, I’m here to tell you about a cool new product that was sent to me for review called <a href="http://www.moxie.com.au/us/">Moxie</a>. It is a feminine hygiene product company based in Australia, which recently launched here in the U.S at Duane Reade and <a href="http://www.duanereade.com/">www.duanereade.com</a>.<span style=""> </span><o:p></o:p></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black;"><!--[if !supportEmptyParas]--> <!--[endif]--><o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black;">
<br /></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black;">Moxie is quite impressive. Not only is the packaging exquisite but also the product itself is excellent. The pad actually sticks and stays on, which for me is a rare occasion when that happens.
<br />
<br />The pads come in cute 1930's-esque candy-striped 'boudoir boxes' as well as a reusable and recyclable tin to hold the pads. No more worrying about pads coming out of their wrappers or falling out of your purse. Just carry this supercute tin and no one even knows what it is inside!! <o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black;"><!--[if !supportEmptyParas]--> <!--[endif]--><o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black;">
<br /></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black;">Moxie is available in four different styles including: Slenders Pads (regular size pad), Sleepovers Pads (longer pad for overnight use), Slenders Panty Liners (for light days), and Scanty Panty Liners (everyday use between periods). Prices range from $4.99 to $6.49. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

It is clean and</span></span></span><span style="color:#000000;"><span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="COLOR: rgb(0,0,0)">modern with a sleek bar, a towering wall of fine wines and fresh apples in square glass bowls accentuating the freshness of the restaurant. Rouge Tomate is inviting, warm, non-pretentious and boasts an excellent, knowledgeable and attentive staff.</span><br /><br /><span style="COLOR: rgb(0,0,0)">We were in the mood for a nice, cold non-alcoholic cocktail and the waitress suggested a drink from their hand-crafted cocktail menu called the strawberry blonde lemonade, which is made with strawberry basil syrup, lemon juice, fresh basil. It was the most refreshing drink I have had in a long time. The basil and strawberry concoction works very well together. I can't recommend this drink enough!! </span><br /><br /><span style="COLOR: rgb(0,0,0)">After we had our delicious drinks, we moved onto our chickpea hummus, flatbread and</span> <span style="COLOR: rgb(0,0,0)">marinated olives appetizer followed by the chilled vegetable gazpacho with mango, avocado, mint, and basil, compliments of the chef. The gazpacho reminded me of warm summer days when tomatoes actually had some taste of sweet tanginess.</span> </span></span><span style="color:#000000;"><br /></p><p style="TEXT-ALIGN: left" align="center"><span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="COLOR: rgb(0,0,0)">For our entrees, my husband had the fresh maine lobster salad drizzled with a passion fruit vinaigrette and I chose the house-made spaghetti pomodoro with vine-ripe tomato, summer squash, garlic, capers, and basil. </span>Now onto dessert, which is of course the most important part of a meal! </span></span><span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="color:#000000;">We tried the <span style="COLOR: rgb(0,0,0)">nectarine</span><span style="COLOR: rgb(0,0,0)"> with a honey roasted, buttermilk-lemon shortcake and toasted almond milk sherbet</span> and the <span style="COLOR: rgb(0,0,0)">local strawberry</span><span style="COLOR: rgb(0,0,0)"> with banana, orange and bourbon vanilla, anise-hyssop sherbet</span>. Neither one disappointed! Not only did they taste amazing but you actually felt good eating these desserts because you knew they were made with a health factor in mind due to the use of locally grown ingredients and a nutritionist helping with the creation of the desserts to keep in part with the rules of SPE. </span><br /></span></p><p style="TEXT-ALIGN: left" align="center"><span style="font-size:85%;color:#000000;">When you need a place to go for lunch whether it be from work or from all the great shopping on 5th and Madison Ave, I highly recommend a visit to Rouge Tomate.

It was the </span><a style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);" href="http://www.bonesuckin.com/">Bone Suckin' Sauces</a><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"> booth and it is an internationally acclaimed line of sauces and seasoning rubs for grilling and marinating. I was thrilled that I scored a sample of one of their newest rubs called Bone Suckin' HOT Seasoning & Rub. I used it that very evening to make my chicken and it was delicious!! The rub promises to be that perfect combination of sweet, spicy and salty and it definitely delivers. The best part about the Bone Suckin' products is that it contains NO MSG. They are all-natural and gluten free.</span><br /><br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">I strongly recommend trying one of the Bone Suckin' sauces and/or rubs. Other products in the Bone Suckin' line consists of: Sweet Mustard, Salsa, BBQ sauce (#1 rated by Newsweek), Habenero Sauce, and Teriyaki.</span>Karen and Sharihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14022500902362589104noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1943252969827685372.post-25352074615920384152009-07-28T09:01:00.000-07:002009-07-28T09:11:44.973-07:00Calling all Fashionistas, Shopaholics and Party Goers!<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj_Pf8cTGfjf7YtR9rSZ5OMZmlQLa4VIaGpEJexnLGYfBjkMb6uIYZR1sr_YohVI5ojTjKURiRFF7jAapqS45fEokM8q-RYVlE2cIDMbgRj2T88ah7UR2yw-sjeM6E7kONN3-sctnsipV4h/s1600-h/-3.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 115px; height: 200px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj_Pf8cTGfjf7YtR9rSZ5OMZmlQLa4VIaGpEJexnLGYfBjkMb6uIYZR1sr_YohVI5ojTjKURiRFF7jAapqS45fEokM8q-RYVlE2cIDMbgRj2T88ah7UR2yw-sjeM6E7kONN3-sctnsipV4h/s200/-3.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5363544005501853010" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg2vwVKHATvTcHGXGGCL7w88CNFx8Teal70mSMuGIghheERTzmwthvJHJsmIl9OCYK_r4J3p3WtoTx1jW8pOWJj9bY2DE0P-QmdXuUzAlPAwyGejTGeIsIlkF_DeksMGNkZy1h24DjyJ63m/s1600-h/-2.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 159px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg2vwVKHATvTcHGXGGCL7w88CNFx8Teal70mSMuGIghheERTzmwthvJHJsmIl9OCYK_r4J3p3WtoTx1jW8pOWJj9bY2DE0P-QmdXuUzAlPAwyGejTGeIsIlkF_DeksMGNkZy1h24DjyJ63m/s200/-2.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5363543959086198274" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEixmjNvgVfI0T6gNrg-tS9eb5oAfnipg6kVeg1V7UF2-aQkVEyElWRovrcwSs4XxiJycyRiP8vZ9DgRWcatT7CM79ZSPDoiXV6iEklYaolmiLsJTNiTb_LyRLPg6tzvSpBKAVAAIlIp2HQ5/s1600-h/-1.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 133px; height: 200px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEixmjNvgVfI0T6gNrg-tS9eb5oAfnipg6kVeg1V7UF2-aQkVEyElWRovrcwSs4XxiJycyRiP8vZ9DgRWcatT7CM79ZSPDoiXV6iEklYaolmiLsJTNiTb_LyRLPg6tzvSpBKAVAAIlIp2HQ5/s200/-1.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5363543902899024514" border="0" /></a><br /><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">Get a first look at the new Quiksilver Women’s Fall 2009 collection as </span><a style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);" href="http://www.quiksilver.com/">Quiksilver </a><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">and </span><a style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);" href="http://www.amrag.com/">American Rag</a><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"> host an evening of complimentary cocktails and shopping!

The sooner the stain can be treated properly, the safer and easier it is to remove.<br /><br /><strong>Stain Identification:</strong> Every stain has a different composition. Before anything is applied, it is important to properly identify the stain.<br /><br />There are <strong>three primary</strong> stain groups and each one requires a special formula:<br /><br />* Special Formula 1 - Earth Based Stains: Fruit juices, teas, colas, liquors, etc.<br />* Special Formula 2 - Protein Based Stains: From the body and dairy products, such as blood, perspiration, milk, eggs, etc.<br />* Special Formula 3 - Oil Based Stains: From vegetable, mineral, or petroleum oils, such as baby oil, animal fat, salad dressing, mayonnaise, motor oil, grease, etc.<br /><br />Each formula is conveniently packaged, easy to use and <strong>guarantees excellent results</strong>. </span><br /><span style="color:#000000;"></span><br /></span><span style="font-family:arial;"><span style="color:#000000;">Here is what you’ll find in each foil-sealed packet:<br /><br />A waffle-pattern absorbent cloth is saturated in the same special formulas that Madame Paulette uses daily in removing stains from the world’s most exclusive couture apparel. Each formula is biodegradable and rinses out with water.<br /><br />A distilled water rinse, that follows the application of each special formula, flushes out any remaining stain particles. Distilled water, unlike tap water, permits the fabric to dry without a ring. Minerals and iron in tap water typically leave an unsightly yellow ring.<br /><br />A fourth packet contains three individual super absorbent cloths. Using this cloth under the stained area will help transfer stain matter through the fabric into the absorbent cloth. This will make the stain removal process even more effective. </span><br /><span style="color:#000000;"></span><br /><span style="color:#000000;">The stain kits sell for $12.50 MSRP each and are available at Madame Paulette NYC or visit </span></span><a href="http://www.madamepaulette.com/"><span style="font-family:arial;color:#000000;">www.MadamePaulette.com</span></a><span style="font-family:arial;color:#000000;"> for more information or to make a purchase.</span>Karen and Sharihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14022500902362589104noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1943252969827685372.post-90423222320910122792009-06-26T08:48:00.000-07:002009-06-26T09:34:59.989-07:00Martin + Osa wants you to be Red Hot this July 4th!!<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.martinandosa.com/web/browse/product.jsp?catId=cat50002&productId=1754_2925"><img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer; width: 94px; height: 200px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhkx-Bhayi6nRYHozuBBLSCfZ7e3jtLVimrJ-85flsarR_oiXyFnVthagEIVo1vcIkwnSqsY0wGNZNjKJvN7ahDnrbkVQJg6YrbuL2Krb0Q0NBgBvrck66sctez6xyou5GdVOEEQJIrcQoE/s200/reddress.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5351666732530140898" border="0" /></a><br /><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">Need something cute and red this July 4th that will not break your budget?
