I was excited to get an email asking for me to do a review for Handbag Heaven.  Of course I will jump on that.  I love to do product and site reviews, so why not do a combo of both in one post?

To start off with there are a lot of choices.  To help with my selection, I had options of searching by size of purse and also going by colors.  Lovely, this will help a lot as I was not looking for a clutch or small bag.  Plus, like I said I am working on my girly size and I’d already made the decision I wanted something pink.  Boy did I find the best of both worlds!  Not too girly, but definitely pink!  I purchased a wallet to go with it of course.  Can’t have a new purse and an old icky wallet.

I am totally in love with this wallet.  I went way out of my usual choice and bought a big wallet.  I am so glad I did.  In the last week I have owned it, I have grabbed it out of my purse for quick trips more than 4 times.  It was more than enough room for all of my debit cards, club cards, and discount cards. lol  Plus they are easy to find.  It also has a sturdy metal metal clasp to keep everything closed up.  I am going to be so excited to have this wallet when I go to Santa Monica so I can do quick trips to the farmers market.  It’s also in a beautful fuschia/hot pink and snake skin.

But the purse!  All of you want to hear about the purse right?  lol  I chose the Alessandro Retro Tote. I LOVE IT! It’s durable leatherette and with my busy life I’m hoping that will translate to easy wiping off and keeping clean.  In the description it states that it has silver feet and a flat bottom so it will stand on it’s own.  I’m happy to report that it is true.  It stands up on it’s own which is awesome because I keep my purse on the counter and this way it is upright with nothing falling out of it.  Plus with the silver feet I know it’s not sitting on the ground anywhere I’m at.  I’m very happy with the purse.  Roomy inside, 3 large pockets to keep my phone and even my sunglasses seperate and safer.

It has plenty of room for the large wallet and also for a lot of other stuff.  When I stop at the video store I can put the movies in the tote.  I use it to put other non-perishable items while I’m shopping as well.  Works as an eco-friendly bag this way.  I guess that’s a big reason why women carry larger purses huh?

Ordering was quick once I chose what I wanted.  Shipping happened within hours.  Literally.  I made my purchase around 11:30pm and it had shipped before 9am the next morning.  WOW, that’s fast!

If you are in need of a handbag I highly suggest visiting Handbag Heaven.  Quality in product and customer service says a lot to me.  Especially the customer service!

While researching different ways to add heaters, cause how do I know what I want.  I came across vent free gas logs. Vent free? I love that idea. I have unusable space in my master bath and how cool would it be to fire up one of these, light my candles, pour a glass of wine and just veg out looking at the log? OH MAN, and they are affordable too. Of course that makes a big difference to me. lol

My parents on the other hand have a very cold house. They only have a gas fireplace as heat. For all the years I lived there we only had a woodstove as heat. Needless to say, we had some quick showers growing up. They are going to remodel the bathroom finally and are talking about putting in a wall heater. Something you can turn on and go back in within a few minutes and have it nice and toasty.

Or maybe a patio heater is more your style? Anything to do with heating is on this site. I love the patio heaters. Up here in Washington the Summer’s aren’t as hot. So of course that means our nights can get down into the 60′s quick quickly. But we love to sit outside and enjoy the lazy Summer nights. This will make it so we can stay out longer with friends or just the 4 of us playing poker. lol

My hubby has been using the Dual Action herbal cleanser for months now. He likes it. I’ve been meaning to give it a try since it is here, but just never think of it. I have a difficult enough time trying to remember to take my daily vitamin.

Sometimes a good cleanse is helpful to keep our bodies working efficiently. Especially if you are planning on working hard on your eating habits. It gives you a great start when you detoxify your body. I’d have to say that since this review came up I’ll take it as a sign that I’m supposed to grab the product and give it a try. If it makes hubby feel even a little better, then I think it will be worth a good try.

But if we are online, then what is better than a computer help franchise opportunity? Oh wait, a computer help company that supplies the techs for you!  Yes, that would be even better.  All you need is managerial skills to set up what your techs will do.  The company even finds the techs for you.  As with any business opportunity, I suggest you do a lot of research to make sure it is the right business for you.  But this is a great one to check into.

Typically when I buy ebooks I’m buying something specifically written for the internet. But at Books on Board I can have my favorite Romance Novels by my favorite authors! SWEET! Add the fact that I now have a laptop and can just read them on my computer in bed and why in the world am I buying paperbacks anymore?

I’m excited to be able to purchase my “just for fun books” to read while the kids are on Christmas break.

I guess it will always be on my wishlist. Along with the bike of course. We’ll have a bike again in a couple of years, but right now the kids take all our money. lol But I can definitely put in for the jacket first. I like the classic styles and there are a ton of leather motorcycle jackets to choose from at the Bazzaar Online. There are even cool halter tops and vests. I went in to look at the halter tops thinking they would all be cheesy and I actually want a few of them. lol I like a lot of the vests and would love one of those for sure.

I’ll be forwarding this link to hubby. He was just looking through the site with me. He likes the halter’s as well and since they are only around $20 I’m sure I can get him to order at least one of them for me. lol Don’t you think they’d make a great stocking stuffer.

Best of all you’ve got to check the shipping charges out. They already have a savings of 20-70%. But then the shipping charges are a flat ground rate of $12.95. HOLY COW! That is for unlimited items. It costs $4 to send the smallest of items these days, let alone a big heavy leather coat. Incredible deal on the shipping.

No matter what your leather needs are I think you will find it on Bazaar Online. They have a children’s line, novelty items, and of course jackets for everyone. lol

Personalized Gifts for Children is a truly unique option. Especially if you have a kid with a spelling that isn’t as common like my daughter’s. She loves to get personalized gifts, but we can rarely find them off the shelf. Shop for stockings, the ever popular children’s books, ornaments and much more. With over 500 children’s gifts, you are sure to find many items for each child on your list.

I love the personalized stockings. In the past we have had to try to remember who’s stocking is who’s and that doesn’t always turn out to be the best. Now that we have them personalized, there is no question of which one to put each kid’s stuff in.

I have burned Mia Bella candles quite a few times and am amazed at their potency. Besides that, just try and figure out which scent to buy. It’s nearly impossible! This is why I really like the candle of the month option. I first fell in love with Mia Bella candles when I won a monthly contest for free candles. WOW, was all I could say. You too can win the weekly contest by filling in the form. Who doesn’t love free candles right?

For more information on Soy Candles and the Candle of the month, visit Burn Soot Free. You will truly be amazed by the scent drift through your house!

If you don’t want to believe me, then go to her site and request a free sample. Louella will be more than happy to assist you with any of your needs.

But alas there are times I just need to get something off my chest and it’s too bad to put on my blog and risk it being found by the wrong person. Here is where Mom’s Turn comes in. She has created a blog where we Mom’s can post anonymously. (boy that word looks funky) You email her a post and she will put it up with no name or email addy on it. Once it’s off your chest, it won’t bother you as much. Win-win for everyone! Cool idea and I look forward to seeing some of the posts.

Lara has started an awesome weekly challenge that I am looking forward to starting next week. She will have topics to work on and then we can share some linky love by posting about it. Guess I’ll have to start a cleaning catagory here on Busy Momma so I can complain about the cleaning. lmao

Follow along with me here and at Thou Shalt Clean. You’ll get a lot of quick tips to help you clean more efficiently. And be honest, does anyone WANT to spend a long time cleaning? Do you? YOU ARE ONE SICKY PUPPY! I’d rather be mountain biking!
