Blogmania Sponsor Spotlight: Mabel's Lables

My Monkey loves "stuff!"  She loves filling a bag or purse with "her stuff."  Her stuff consists of books, cups, bowls, crayons, anything she feels is "stuff" worthy.  I catch myself saying "my stuff" so at least she gets it honestly.  Well when she's toting her bag of stuff every where we go, it's easy to lose some of it or get it mixed up with another child's bag of stuff.  So I'm constantly pulling my hair out and getting frustrated not only at losing stuff but at stickers and lables not staying put.
That is until I found Mabel's Lables!
I was sent a great set of Label Out Loud Sticky Lables to review.

Choose the name, up to 20 characters, and the design from 20 different motifs. I chose the pink princess for my Monkey. They are bright and fun. I was quick to label all of her "stuff."
This line is:
Dishwasher safe

Microwave safe

UV resistant

Peel and stick


In need of labels in other areas? Mabel's Labels has you covered. From clothing, skinny labels, bag tags, household labels, etc. There is something for all of your labeling needs.


I am excited to have Mabel's Labels as one of my Blogmania Sponsors (April 9-11). One of my lucky readers will receive a set like mine from the Label Out Loud Stick Labels with the name and motif of your choice ($21 value).

Orglamix review and giveaway Blogmania Sponsor

I was given the opportunity to review some mineral eyeshadow from an Etsy shop called Orglamix.

I love mineral make-up and love that Cheri makes all her own products! I was surprised at how the vibrant the colors are. You can go really subtle or bright and dynamic. Choosing the colors to test was not easy. I spent hours browsing as I LOVE makeup, LOVED her color choices, and LOVE shopping.  But I finally decided on a charcoal, a shimmer white, and a raspberry.   The cosmetics arrived beautifully packaged in a satin bag, in sleek black-lidded shaker jars with scented rose petals. She puts such care into the packaging, I was very impressed.



About the Shop:

Welcome to the next-generation of mineral makeup. With products made from zero synthetic ingredients,  Orglamix Cosmetics has become a huge sucess.  Orglamix is an Etsy shop that sells makeup made from 100% pure mineral. Cheri, the artisan behind Orglamix, never uses synthetic materials so you can be sure they are safe, especially for those of us with sensitive skin. Cheri says, “All Orglamix products are proudly formulated without: nano particles, bismuth oxychloride, synthetic dyes, petrochemicals or parabens. Orglamix is a proud member of PETA.”

What is more important, quality or value?  At Orglamix, they say both!  And that is exactly what you will get with every Orglamix product. Each product is of the highest quality and the greatest value compared to mega beauty brands.  The affordable prices will allow you room to try a variety of colors.  With over 200 choices, you are sure to find a few you love.

Mineral Makeup Maestra

Cheri is great and is offering a set of 3 eye shadows in the color of your choice to my Blogmania winner.  How cool is that?  So be sure to come back April 9th and get entered to win.  I'm having over $300 prize package with a theme of Pinkalicious because every girl needs a little pink in their life!

Blogmania Sponsor - SwimSpot!

Are you aware of how close summer is?  And that means swim suit season is close.  I'm trying not to freak out about the 1000 crunches I need to be doing before I will even attempt to step in a bathing suit.  Every year I say I'm going to work out and get ready and before you know it, it's August and I'm still sporting my muffin top!  Oh well.  In the mean time I love browsing around the net for cute bathing suits I can dream about looking good in.  And SwimSpot.com is a site I love visiting. 

SwimSpot is the #1 best women’s swim wear and bathing suit web boutique in the world. And the suits featured on the site are designed and produced in the U.S.A.


About SwimSpot

SwimSpot.com features a great selection of one piece swimsuits, bikini tops and bottoms, and swimsuit cover-ups with a wide spectrum of styles and fits for women looking to purchase the perfect suit for the swim season.  AND they also have a little girl's line.  Since I'm not ready to stuff my rolls into their fabulous suits yet I got my daughter this awesome suit for this summer.  How adorable is that?  I'm making her matching flip flops and bow to rock it out this summer!

But if you are looking for a suit for you then you have to check out the Bikini Builder.  SwimSpot.com created the Bikini Builder application because they know that their customers not only want to shop the racks, but also want to play designer and come up with fresh looks to help them standout in a crowd. You can mix and match from hundreds of swimwear tops and bottoms.

I love how their site is filled with every design, style, and fit to accomadate every figure, shape, and size.  I adore their cover ups and their sales pretty much rock!!  Their customer service and shipping is top notch and this is a store and website I will be sharing with all my friends. 

AND I'm so excited to announce that SwimSpot is a Blogmania Sponsor for Texas Monkey.  That means that one lucky reader will win a $100 gift certificate to SwimSpot.  With summer so close, I know this will come in handy.
Happy & Healthy



Blogmania will take place starting April 9th and ending April 11th. Be sure to come back and enter to win this and so much more on my blog!

Blogmania Sponsor - CCARIA Jewelry

I am so excited about Blogmania, do you realize it's just right around the corner?!  Man do I have some amazing prizes lined up for you lucky readers!  Over the next few weeks I will be highlighting my sponsors and their products just to tease you a little of what's to come!  I hope you show them some love and support as they are really hooking you up!

Let's give a big TEXAS Monkey welcome to Cari of CCARIA Jewelry!  Cari started making jewelry as a hobby because she needed something she could do to unwind. Next thing she knew she was overrun with pieces. She was giving them to friends and family to get their reactions and everyone told her that they were wonderful and that she should start selling them. Years later, she still enjoys making pieces for friends and family, they are often her best advertisers! But nothing is more thrilling to her than to be out in public somewhere and seeing a piece of her own jewelry on a total stranger. It's so rewarding!

Please tell us all a little bit about yourself and your store, Cari.


What Kinds of products do you offer?

CCARIA jewelry consists of one-of-a-kind earrings, necklaces and bracelets. (I will replicate a piece if requested, but mainly do one-of-a-kind items) I also have a section of Awareness jewelry for both Breast Cancer Awareness, my mother died of breast cancer, (proceeds go to the American Cancer Society or Susan Komen Fund) and Diabetes Awareness (my son has Type 1 Diabetes and all proceeds go to JDRF). I really enjoy using natural stones, like freshwater pearls, jasper, quartz, agate and more. But I also like using beautiful colors of Czech pressed glass.


Describe your typical client?

I'm not sure I have a typical client. I think it’s anywhere from the girly girl that likes big bright and bold pieces, to someone that just likes something simple. I try to make a wide range of pieces for everyone's style, from beaded necklaces and bracelets to sterling silver and antiqued brass. I love doing custom orders too, and I think people really enjoy getting a piece made exactly the way they want it and they know that no one else has it.


How long have you been in business?

I have been making jewelry as a hobby for a while but it became a “business” in August 09. I still consider it my hobby, as I enjoy every minute of it, and do it in my free time.


What sets your business apart from other's in your niche?

Honestly I'm not sure. But what I think sets my business apart is that I try to always use natural stones, I offer low and competitive prices and I always provide excellent customer service.


What is your most popular product?

Since I don't make duplicate pieces, I would have to say that overall necklaces in general seem to be the hot item. Freshwater pearls are also very popular, especially in bold bright colors.


What inspires you?

I actually get my inspiration from colors. No matter where I am I notice other people’s clothing and the jewelry they are wearing and then I start working on different pieces in my mind based on the colors around me. Sometimes I just feel bright and happy and I tend to make pieces around that feeling etc. It varies from day to day.


Where do you see your business heading in the future?

I really can't predict where it will go in the future. Right now I'm happy with it being a hobby and a creative outlet from my everyday life. I enjoy creating pieces and being able to offer them to people at an affordable price. Because this is a passion for me, I’m not sure that I want it to be a “full time job". I love doing it so much, because it is pressure free for me.


What countries do you ship from?

Right now I ship free within the US and I ship to Canada for a small fee.


How can people find you online?

At www.ccaria.etsy.com and on Twitter at http://twitter.com/c_caria


Now what could one of you lucky readers win?  How about this gorgeous one of a kind necklace!

It's an 18 inch necklace made up of baby blue freshwater pearls wire wrapped on an antiqued brass chain.

Valued at $25.
Now show Cari some love and follow her on Twitter and stop by her STORE for some online shopping, did you catch she does FREE shipping, HELLO, I'm sold!

Thank you Cari for being one of our Blogmania Sponsors.

Happy Thursday Ya'll
