AvantGardenDecor.comMaintaining a beautiful backyard is so rewarding, for every time you step outdoors, you're greeted with a gorgeous scene of plants and flowers.  During the winter though, when the temperatures drop below freezing and the snow begins to fall, maintaining those outdoor plants becomes a bit more difficult.

The first step in creating a beautiful winterized garden is to obviously plant  flowers and other greenery that works well with your particular climate.  Here in Texas, I am lucky enough to have a winter climate which is still fruitful for a wide variety of flowers and plants.  But I also keep some of my more delicate plants in potted containers atop decorative plant stands so that when the weather turns nasty, I can quickly and easily bring those plants indoors.

I reviewed the following from AvantGardenDecor.com:

CobraCo 21-Inch Scroll Braided Plant Stand which retails for $31.00, but is currently on sale for $24.58.

CobraCo 15-Inch Scroll Braided Plant Stand which retails for $24.00, but is currently on sale for $13.28.
Receive FREE SHIPPING on all purchases $69.99 or more!

Il Bere Wine CharmsDuring the holidays, we all like to enjoy the company of family and friends and make merry.  For many of us, that includes cracking open a bottle of our favorite vintage to share.  Of course, being able to identify which glass is yours can be difficult when they all look alike and that's why wine charms were invented.

Typically, wine charms were designed to slide around the stem of a wine glass.  But what should you do if you weren't drinking out of a wine glass or other stemmed container?  Il Bere Wine Charms came up with a nifty solution for that...magnetic wine charms which adhere to the glass itself, so that they can be used on almost any drinking glass.

I reviewed the following wine charm sets from Il Bere Wine Charms:

Season's Greetings, which retails for $14.99.

Vintage Mixed 1, which retails for $25.00.

Wink CoutureOne of my favorite clothing fashions is vintage.  In my opinion, vintage clothing always has a more feminine feel to it with tried and true detailing and styling that's been proven to last the test of time.  Unfortunately, as soon as a garment is labeled vintage, the price seems to quadruple because of its new moniker.

That's why I was glad to discover an online boutique specializing in affordable vintage clothing called Wink Couture.  Not only does Wink Couture offer vintage clothing, their fashions are also designed to be figure flattering as well.  Keep reading to learn more!

I reviewed the Bell Sleeve Blouse from Wink Couture, which retails for $49.99.

Papier de MaisonEven though new technology, like the Kindle and iPad, puts convenience and speed at our fingertips, sometimes a simple pad of paper and a writing utensil work just as well...if not better!

For instance, if I'm right in the middle of checking my email and I suddenly remember that I need milk from the grocery store, I don't want to scramble for my grocery list app right then.  It's easier in that case for me to jot down what I need on a piece of paper.  Unfortunately, there never seems to be a pen and paper handy when I need them...until now!

I reviewed the Marche de Fleurs Kindle Cover which retails for $20.00 and the Marche de Fleurs iPad Cover which retails for $30.00.
