<![CDATA[Great Finds For You - Blog]]>Thu, 03 Jul 2008 19:08:04 +0700Weebly<![CDATA[Lip-Gloss Tips: Natural and Easy For Today's Lifestyle]]>Sun, 29 Jun 2008 18:19:15 +0700http://www.great-finds-for-you.com/1/post/2008/06/lip-gloss-tips-natural-and-easy-for-todays-lifestyle.htmlYesterday was a wonderful day.  I attended my nephew's wedding.  It was a very lovely and endearing event.  The wedding party, especially the bride and groom, were breathtakingly lovely and stylish in their wedding attire. 

One of the things that captured my attention during the event, was a number of the ladies, in particularly the younger ladies, were wearing lip-gloss.  With summer tans and the need to wear little makeup, the lip-gloss was perfect.  It gave the appearance of a natural look, which was much more flattering than the overly made-up look. 

Here are a couple of tips to help you decide whether lip-gloss may be right for you. 

1.  If you have trouble finding a lipstick color that looks good on you, then a lip-gloss might be a great choice.  You don't have to fuss about the color too much.  It adds just a little color to the lips, which seems to help make the face look more alive.  The haggard, pale and drawn look is immediately softened with a lip-gloss. 

2.  If you have trouble applying makeup, then a lip-gloss is perfect.  It is very easy to apply.  Unlike lipstick, it can easily be applied with your finger even without a mirror.  Another great feature with wearing a lip-gloss is you don't have to worry about getting it on your teeth.  You don't even have to put much thought into how it goes on.  Somehow, it seems to just go on perfectly. 

3.  Lip-gloss is great for today's active, fast-paced lifestyle.  You can toss it into your purse or backpack, without having to worry about it melting the way a tube of lipstick many times does. 

Great Finds For You has a web page devoted to products that pamper.  You will find a great lip-gloss that just might be the perfect makeup product to help give you that soft natural look. 

Have a blessed day! 

Cheers,

Gin

During a recent visit to the Accessory Bug website, I found a great tote bag that I thought I'd share with you.  The name of the bag is Navy Downtown Faux Ostrich Leather Tote.

This is the perfect tote bag to hold all those summer time extras!  I love the pebble finish on the faux leather.  It has simple, clean lines with neat stitching details that give it a classic look.  The top closure zipper is a great feature on any tote bag because it affords extra protection for the bag's content.

The wonderful folks at Accessory Bug have made available for the Great Finds For You readers a 10% off coupon code: stim08 (expires 31 July 2008). 

If you have a special occasion coming up and need a handbag, then checkout Accessory Bug's great assortment.  You will love the various designs, shapes, features and value in their extensive handbag inventory.

Have a blessed and enjoyable day!

Blessings,

We would love for you to visit our new online web store, Great Finds Gift Annex specializing in Christian and Inspirational Jewelry.  You can preview our web store on our Gift Store Annex web page.

Since I last posted, a new webpage has been added to the site.  Thought it would be good to add a video that shows how to wrap a gift.  You can find the video on the How To Wrap A Gift webpage.  It is simple and easy to follow and should be a great asset for those of us who lack great gift-wrapping skills.  You might want to bookmark the page, so you can easily access it whenever you need a refresher on gift-wrapping. 

Another fairly new addition to the website is the Great Finds Gift Annex webpage.  This webpage was added a few weeks back, so you could learn more about our new webstore.  The Great Finds Gift Annex is an online store in which we stock and ship the items directly to you from us.  At this webstore you will find we specialize in Christian and Inspirational jewelry.  We have a small selection of items now in the webstore and should be adding more in the near future.  We would love for you to visit our Gift Annex webstore. 

Christian and Inspirational jewelry have always been favorites of mine for gift giving.  If you are a person of faith, Christian jewelry is a great way to share your faith.  It can inspire us and touch our hearts, which makes it wonderful for gift giving.  

Inspirational jewelry is another well-loved jewelry category.  I find   Inspirational jewelry often holds great sentimental value.  Years later, we can easily recall who gave us the jewelry and the occasion for which it was given. 

Sunday is Father's Day and I would like to take this time to wish all the fathers a wonderful Father's Day. Have a great and blessed day with your Dad! 

Cheers,

I've also been busy adding inventory to my online store Great Finds Gift Annex.  Items in this store are shipped directly to you from us.  Recently, I added a lovely assortment of Christian Jewelry, Inspiration Jewelry and Designer Look & Classic Jewelry.  

If you've been looking for some jewelry essentials for your jewelry wardrobe, then I would recommend the Black/Silver Designer Inspired Heart Earrings and Necklace Set at Great Finds Gift Annex.  The set has a lovely puffed heart pendant and matching earrings with silver tone dots that gives it that true designer inspired look.  This jewelry ensemble can be worn with casual attire such as jeans for a trendy look; or it can easily transform your evening attire into a total stunning look.  This is the type of jewelry that will be in your jewelry wardrobe for years to come and will be a favorite.
 

Here's a hint that will help keep your jewelry in great condition.  After you have finished wearing the jewelry for the day, take a soft cloth and wipe it off before putting it away.  This will remove oils; residues and fingerprints, so the next time you reach for your jewelry it will be shinny and ready for you to enjoy.

Have a blessed and enjoyable day!

Since our furry friends are now spending more time outdoors, thought I'd provide a few pet owners reminders. 

  *  Warm weather is wonderful, but with it comes the need to protect our furry friends from the pesky fleas and ticks.  I use Frontline for flea and tick prevention on my dogs.  Be sure to consult with your vet on the right product for your pet. 

  *  Annual exams and shots are very important to keep our pets healthy.  Check with your vet or pets records to determine due date for exams and shots. 

  *  Heartworms can be a serious and fatal problem for pets.  Be proactive and use heartworm prevention medicine to keep your pet healthy.  If you do not have your pet on heartworm prevention medicine, then schedule a visit with your vet. 

There is no doubt our furry friends are a big part of our family and lives.  We love to be reminded of our pets.  You can find some wonderful cat lover gifts and dog lover gifts at Great Finds For You.  If you have a friend or loved one who is a pet owner or enjoys animals, then animal themed gifts make wonderful gifts for them. 

Have a blessed and enjoyable day! 

Cheers,

Gin

If you have someone on your gift list that has a cat or dog, then these gifts are reminders of their beloved furry friend and will truly touch their heart.  You will find a variety of gift selections on these pages, which should offer something that appeals to almost any animal lover.  Cat Lover Gifts and Dog Lover Gifts are a popular category for gift giving.  Many people love animals, but due to lifestyles are unable to have their own pets.  If you know someone who falls in this category, then consider giving an animal themed gift. 

Another webpage added was Cookie Gifts.  Cookies make a wonderful gift for giving.  The wonderful taste of a cookie takes us back to our childhood.  Both children and adults love cookies!  They are easy to eat, often offer fewer calories than other heavier sweets such as cakes and there are a variety of selections from which to choose… making it easy to appease almost anyone's sweet appetite. 

Received this week a very special offer for my Great Finds For You readers.  The website Coco Cesca Collection has graciously offered a coupon for the Great Finds For You readers enabling you to receive 50 percent off your order.  The coupon code is 50GREATFINDS.  Coco Cesca offers a wonderful selection of apparel, handbags, jewelry, accessories and home décor.  You will find the Coco Cesca Collection to be fun and colorful with easy mix and match possibilities.  With a 50 percent savings, this is a great way to spruce up your spring wardrobe.

Innocence and purity captures the essence of this flower, which helps renew within us a special feeling of hope and life, which is the heart and purpose of Easter.  However, it is important for cat owners to know that the Easter lily contains toxins that can cause severe kidney damage in cats. 

Another safety reminder for the Easter season is that chocolate contains theobromine, which is toxic to cats and dogs.  So be sure Easter baskets are well guarded from pets if they contain chocolate candy.  If you have pets and children you might also consider stocking Easter baskets with candies other than chocolate.  Children often love to share their treats with their furry friend.  You can find a huge selection of candies in today's market that can easily appease a child's "sweet" appetite. 

If you're a person of faith, share your faith this Easter and invite a friend to Easter worship service. 

Have a blessed Easter! 

Cheers,
