CandiCheeks Baby Socks Review & Giveaway

You know what my favorite part of a baby is? Toeses. I loves toeses. CJ has the cutest toeses. I may be biased but it is true. The best thing about a baby boy is that he gets to wear the cutest socks and shoes on his toeses. (Ok I promise I won't say toeses again.) Before CJ was born, I went into a baby consignment store and they had a giant box of socks. I asked the lady how much for each pair of socks and she said $5 for the box. It was awesome. Unfortunately, CJ quickly outgrew almost all of those socks.

So I get to go shopping for new socks. The best place I've found for the cutest socks is a company called CandiCheeks. CandiCheeks' socks come in different characters. Here are some of my favorite sets.

Sea Character Sock Bundle 4 pack


Outdoor Character Sock 4-pack

Creature Character 5 pack

Winter Character 5 pack
The packs range from $16.99 to $21.99 and single pairs are $4.99. There are adorable girl socks too, but since I don't have a girl yet, I only got boy socks. The socks range in size from from newborn all the way up to 4 years.

Here are CJ's favorites, the polar bear socks. He of course refused to let me take a picture of him actually wearing them. These socks are thick and stretchy, so perfect for growing baby feet. The colors are extremely vivid and bright. These have been worn as slippers so all day long all over the house, and they didn't rip or get faded on the bottoms like some socks do. They've been washed and the colors didn't run into the white part which can sometimes happen. These are very sturdy and well-made socks. More importantly, they are freaking adorable. Just look at CJ's toeses! (Uh oh. I sad toeses again.) I'll definitely be adding these to my Christmas gift list for everyone I know with babies. If you have a few babies in your family, you could buy a 5 pack and divide it into stockings. That'd be awesome and save you some money.

If you would like to win your choice of a cutesie pair of CandiCheeks socks, just fill out the rafflecopter form below. Good luck!

Kranich's Jewelry Review

Are you a jewelry person? I love jewelry, the way it shines and sparkles, and adds that little extra something something. Unfortunately, I don't wear much other than my wedding band. Earrings make my ears itch, bracelets get in my way, and rings turn my skin colors. I'm a mess I know. 
Then the lovely people over at Kranich's Jewelry contacted me to see if I wanted to test out a piece of jewelry. I hemmed and hawed because I was a little worried. I didn't want to order something and then have to hate it and give it a terrible review. But I also thought all over their jewelry was gorgeous! First world problems. In the end, I decided to give it a go. Here is my review of Kranich's Jewelry. 



First off, it was so hard to decide what to test out! It was a cross between the blue topaz and diamond bracelet or the diamond infinity ring. I decided that since I knew bracelets would drive me insane I would choose the ring.

I am so glad that I chose the ring!! Since I got it, the only time I've taken it off is when I shower. I am wearing it right now as I type. It is one of my favorite things I've ever gotten to review. Ok let me finish gushing and give you the details.

The ring is called the “Sterling Silver Everlon Diamond Knot Ring”. It is in the shape of the infinity symbol, which I love. In the loop is a .04 carat diamond. That sounds small, but it is so sparkly! Right outside the ring is slightly beveled which makes it have the perfect amount of sparkle. I am happy to report that my finger has definitely not turn green. The ring retails for $109 which I think is a great price! There is also a matching bracelet, necklace, and earrings! You can have a whole matching set.  I promise you will not be disappointed in Kranich's Jewelry. The staff that I dealt with were extremely nice, the ring arrived very fast, and it was just a wonderful experience.
