I am quite blessed in having friends who are creative, and I love that they are using Etsy.com to showcase their wonderful creations.
Today I am going to share with you Gloriously Created Gifts , an Etsy shop that is owned by a very dear and personal friend of mine.

I was lucky enough to be able to receive 2 of her hand made Victorian necklaces to review.

The First One:

Beautiful Victorian Necklace with

Mirror and Heels

on 30 inch chain Handmade

I love the scroll work on the back of this mirror, and I absolutely love the shoes.

I also love that it's a REAL mirror!!

My other favorite part is the long chain. I adore long necklaces, and this one is so perfect.

It's simple enough that I can pair shorter necklaces with it.

And yet it's also whimsical enough to be worn alone.

I have received many compliments when I wear this necklace.

My favorite was from a Woman at Target who said it reminded her of some of the

vintage pieces she inherited from her Grandmother.

The Second One:

Adorable little Bronze

Victorian Scissors with floral accents

Any pictures for this necklace REALLY do not do it justice.

I love the intricate detail. You'll find yourself quite surprised that the scissors don't open!

(Sorry about my wrinkled Scrubs)

But you can see just how long the chain is!

(Have I mentioned just how much I LOVE long necklaces?!)

As you can see, the scissors are just big enough to be eye catching, but not so big as to be cumbersome.

That is something else I should mention, each necklace is very light weight.

For as long and noticeable as each piece is, they are both light enough to not notice when you wear them.

Even the clasp has it's own fairy tale-esque quality!

She really captures fun and whimsy in the pieces she creates.

The first necklace would be a great gift for a Hair Stylist, Makeup Artist, or Esthetician in your life.

The second would make the perfect present for anyone you know who does hobbies such as Scrapbooking, or Quiliting!

Please go and check out my dear friend's Etsy Shop and order a piece for you or a friend!

Her handmade Vintage inspired gifts will truly make your friends and family feel special and one of a kind!

And don't forget to include something for yourself.

She is adding new pieces all the time, and somethings she will make only once, so make sure to buy it before it's gone!

Their Toys contacted me asking if I would do a review for them.

I was a little unsure, after all, this is not where I discuss my sex life.

However Brittany told me they wanted me to do a review on a lubricant they sell called PINK!

Well.... How could I not?

A little bit on THEIR TOYS and their commitment to you:

We know you have a lot of choices when it comes to purchasing adult toys online, so we're making it our mission to offer better customer service than anyone out there. We're also committed to offering you a catalog of products that are superior in quality and price than you're likely to find elsewhere. We have painstakingly written in-depth product descriptions, and hand picked toys we believe our customers will love. There are literally tens of thousands of adult toys on the market - many of which are made with unsafe ingredients. The last thing you want is to purchase a dildo, rabbit or other popular sex toy which is not body safe. Our commitment to you is to offer you the best prices on the best adult toys available. We will always be discreet in our billing and shipping, and will never share your information. Enjoy your shopping experience and let us know if we can help you in your purchase!

If you are looking for Specialty Lubes, or Adult Toys or even Lubes and Condoms, they have what you're looking for!

Hot Pink Warming Lube

Hot Pink Water Based Warming Lubricant is a non-drying formula that will heat any skin it comes in contact with, increasing sensitivity. Great for sensual massage that turns into more, and great for all body types, this warming lubricant for women will create warm sensations that do not irritate either partner and this lube is safe for all sex toys and adult accessories. Hot Pink Water Based Warming Lubricant is glycerin free and contains no pigment, so it does not stain fabrics and it is also fortified with Aloe Vera.

Hot Pink Water Based Warming Lubricant is formulated to the same high quality specifications as all of the Pink line of lubricants so it is condom-safe and highly concentrated, yet non-greasy and easy to wash off.

My Thoughts:

I am not really a lubricant type of person. I really never need it, and I have tried a few that warm up, but wasn't happy with them at all. I hate how most of them feel really sticky, or it dries out quickly, or the warming sensation is too tingly, or it leaves a very oily after feeling when I am trying to clean up.

However Hot Pink isn't like that at all!

It's not oily or greasy. It heats up right away without a menthol tingly-ness, which makes it perfect to use as a massage oil. The pump head helps you to add just the right amount of wetness without making you feel like a pond, however the lubrication lasts. And clean up is still just as easy. It has no scent or taste, so you don't have to worry about that sticky feeling that most warming lubricants have.

It's also hypoallergenic, so if you have found yourself allergic to most warming lubes I highly recommend you try HOT PINK-From Their Toys.

Mallory sent me the

Pink Roller Skate Bamboo Cotton Jersey Knit Scarf

to review.

This pink roller skate scarf is an original design by art by mags!

New Orleans-based urban folk artist Margaret Coble created this original stencil design of a roller skate. Great for your favorite roller derby gal or roller skating fiend (or you!). Makes a great, unique gift. The design is silkscreened by hand using white eco-friendly water-based ink on a hand-cut pink bamboo-cotton jersey knit scarf.

These scarves are hand-cut from a super soft bamboo-cotton jersey material that is lightweight and perfect for wearing during the spring and fall. These scarves are also great for the winter months in warmer climates like New Orleans. I wore my art by mags! scarf all winter long - I'm not much of a scarf person but I love these!
Size: approximately 14" x 72" OR 35.6 cm x 182.9 cm
Care instructions: machine washable, cold water recommended. The edges of this hand-cut scarf are left raw, but the jersey material shouldn't fray much.
About the artist: artbymags! is the business name of New Orleans art-and-craftivist Margaret Coble. Merging folk, pop, graphic, and street art influences, she is all about DIY printmaking using recycled materials like vinyl records, thrift store clothing, and other found objects to create one of a kind, handmade gifts. Clocks, signs, mixed media constructions, clothing, accessories and more!
Aside from her art-and-crafting pursuits, Mags is a music journalist, roller derby groupie, and retired club DJ. She is also a member of the New Orleans Craft Mafia.

My Thoughts:

I'm in love!

Seriously. This is my fashion statement. If I leave the house I have it on!
It's so soft!
I love scarves but I hate how itchy they can get behind my neck, making my hair all frizzy. This feels like my favorite tshirt. But it's still warm! And it goes will with everything.
I wear it every day to school and I always get compliments on it.
