HGG: Clothing- Ozone Socks Review
Winter isn't far behind and in some places, it has even
arrived. Everyone is so worried about getting coats, sweaters, pants, and
hoodies to keep them warm. But sometimes, they forget about one important body
part- the feet! Without nice warm feet, you can’t really feel where you’re
walking.
But you can say goodbye to boring white or black socks!
Ozone Socks is the newest and coolest thing in footwear with designer socks for
everyone! Whether you like your socks to
be knee-high, over the knee, or short, you can bet you’ll find socks that fit
your fashion style! If you’re a fan of flowers, take a peek at their Flower Cameo socks, which is one of their best-sellers!
If you don’t want your feet to look like art, they still
have the basics to keep those tootsies warm! I personally enjoy ankle as well as
mid-zone socks.
With each sock retailing about $15, don’t consider it a
stocking stuffer! Consider it a luxury gift that your family and friends will
love. And since socks are practical, they are perfect for everyone on your list!
If you want your tights to look as cool as you do, check out
their Tights section. With a choice between lace, flowers, or even the sexy
Stiletto Tights and each pair only $29.99, get several for each outfit! But we
can’t forget our gentlemen. They even have cool Mens' designs for your men that like
your feet to look cool under those boots. Guys, these Carnival socks will make
you the envy of all cold feet.
All Ozone Socks are made at small mills in France, Colombia,
and Japan, assuring that your socks will be soft and comfortable.
I don’t know about you, but I hate it when I lost a sock.
It’s no longer a pair and when you have one pair of black and one pair of pink,
you very well can’t go out in 1 black and 1 pink sock! Thanks to Ozone Socks,
you don’t have to worry about it! They will help you find you the missing sock
by matching it with a Single Sock! Now if only we can find out what happened to
that other sock?
Afraid your daughter or aunt won’t like the style of socks
you picked out? Get them a Gift Certificate. That way you don’t have to worry
about the look on their face of feigned joy. Gift certificates are available in
any amount and are delivered via e-mail.
BUY
Prices vary. Womens' socks start at $15. Mens' socks start at $18.
WHAT I THOUGHT
I was able to try their Flower Cameo socks. I love them!
They actually came at the perfect time. I went to take trash out to the curb,
and didn’t even bother to look at the temperature before stepping out. The
sidewalk and grass were so cold; my toes were popsicles before I got back in!
So when I checked mail and saw that the socks had arrived, I immediately put
them on. I could feel my feet defrosting- they were that warm! They’re super
soft. They aren’t very stretchy, but when you look inside, you see that they
are almost stitched.
Not only are they soft and warm, they look so good on my
feet! Some bulky socks tend to make my feet look bigger than they are. Even Mom
thought they looked neat.
I love them and try to wear them as often as I can.I might have to pick me up another pair so that no matter my mood or where I go, my feet will look cool!
I was NOT compensated for this review. I received a FREE pair of socks from Ozone Socks to review. All thoughts/opinions are my own.
HGG- Beauty: Streekers Review
Let’s say you want to look festive for the Holidays. But you
don’t want to don a Christmas sweater or a headband with little snowmen all
over it. You want something that is unique. You want something that makes you
stand out in a crowd.
Give Streekers a try! What exactly is Streekers? Streekers
is real temporary hair color that is different from the hair color you buy in
the store. It isn’t mascara, a crayon, or paint. It is a liquid brushable that
bonds right to your hair, instead of just “laying on top”.
Streekers comes in 8 vibrant colors: Red, Blue, Pink,
Yellow, Orange, Green, Purple, and Ultraviolet! The colors come out brighter on
blond hair and will show up as subtle highlights on darker hair.
The application process couldn’t be simpler! Lift your hair
away from the scalp; apply Streekers to dry hair, from root to tip, in long
strokes. If you want a multi-hued effect, wait a few minutes before applying
the next color. Streekers can be used over mousse, styling gel or wax and
followed by hair spray. Feel free to brush your hair after applying Streekers.
It’ll still be soft! Want it on for only one night? No problem! It comes out in
a shampoo or two! Don’t worry if you get
it on your skin. Just wash it with soap and water.
This is a perfect stocking stuffer for the punk rocker in
your life, someone who likes to change their hair with their moods, or that
rebel teen!
BUY
You can purchase your choice of color for $10.95.
WHAT I THOUGHT
I was able to review the Purple AND Red colors. I have dark
hair (black and brown) and I tried a little on my hair. But it didn’t come up
in the pictures so I figured Twin would make a great model with her bleached
ends!
 |
| BEFORE |
Notice the before picture. Just your standard highlighted hair,
right? Now I feel I should say that this isn't the first time she’s
experimented different colors. She had purple hair a year or so ago. And a few
years before that, she’s had red hair. Along with blue another time so this isn't
new to her.
 |
| AFTER-Before it dried. |
Applying it was the fun part! I went crazy, adding red
streaks here and purple streaks there. I even went under the hair to make sure
there was some color there. I made sure to leave some blond parts for a wild
effect. I got a lot on my hands, but it came right off with a nice washing.
The feeling when your first apply it seems a little sticky.
Like hair spray or something. But as soon as it dries and you brush it, the
feeling goes away and your hair is soft once again. The colors are still
vibrant, even days after our little
makeover.
 |
| Completely dry! |
I will have no problem using them again if Twin ever wants
her hair to be purple and/or red!

HG: Renuzit Review & Giveaway
Making your home smell nice for the Holidays but making sure
the scent stays can be hard. You can spray air freshener but after a while, you
don’t even notice that you’ve sprayed. With decorations (pets, kids, and
in-laws) all around, it can be dangerous to burn a candle.
With Renuzit, you don’t have that problem! Renuzit makes it possible to brighten up your
house with ease! With Fresh Accents fresheners, you just peel the pack of the gel and place it. With Adjustables,
you just move the move to get the amount of scent you want. And with a variety
of different scents available (like Relaxing Spa and Apple & Cinnamon), you
are bound to find one you’ll just love!

| Crystal Elements- Holiday Cookie |
With 30-day of continuous fragrance odor elimination, you don’t
worry about it running out in a week or two!
If you want something a little more decorative, be sure to
pick up some Crystal Elements! They are scent crystals, which you can place in
a vase or small glass that will make your home smell absolutely great and look
like an expensive item! Oh yea, and make sure to keep your guests feeling
hungry with their Holiday Cookie scent!
They also offer something similar to Glade Plug-Ins with
their Electric Gels! Just plug-in and let the scents of your choice just fill
the house!
You can also get Scented Oils (like an oil diffuser) or
Pearl Scents, a jar filled with your scent choice.
BUY
You can purchase Fresh Accents, Adjustables, Crystal
Elements, Electric Gels, Scented Oils, or Pearl Scents anywhere Renuzit
products are sold.
WHAT I THOUGHT
I was able to review the Fresh Accents fresheners in Winter
Berry and Fresh Snow.
Winter Berry- Smells just like the berries from holly and
other berries you would find during the winter months. It wasn’t overpowering
but subtle. But it wasn’t a weak scent. It filled the whole room with the scent
of berries. The scent may not be as strong as it was when we first started
using it, but you can tell there is still a berry scent in the air.
Fresh Snow- This reminded me of being out in the country
with pines and snow. It smells like fresh pine (maybe powdered with a little
snow). This scent was a little strong, especially for someone from the city
(Yep. I’m a city gal!). But it is a nice change from the polluted streets.
I personally love the snowflakes on either side! As you can
tell from the pictures, one side as a big snowflake while the other has 2 small
ones. And it couldn’t have been easier to use! You just peel the backside of
the gel pack and place it in the “cartridge”. If you place it behind sunlight,
the snowflakes light up… somewhat. It’s
a great way to make your home smell like the Holidays without burning a candle
or spraying air freshener that won’t last!

HGG: Home- Simple Divine Candle Co. Review
You can still have the beautiful look of candles without a fire burning! Simple Divine Candle Company allows you to have that Christmas candle look with their flames-less electric candles! Their candles are attached to candle pans with the electrical cord. So you don't have the hazard of the cord hanging over a sharp edge, which can break down the cord, causing electrical fires. Their candles are also scented through out the whole candle with a scent that is sure to last long!

| Chocolate Covered Cherries |
If you're looking for something a little more glitzy, why not their Glitter Collection? Instead of a "bumpy" texture, their Glitter Collection candles have a smooth outside with an engraved swirl design and each candle is topped with diamond dust for that glittery look! Their Inspired Collection actually has words like LOVE, DREAMS, BELIEVE, and HOPE engraved on the outside so when you turn them on, you'll truly be inspired! This would be a great gift for anyone who needs a little inspiration or anyone who loves to have inspiration-themed items in their home!
Now I personally love coffee- I have to have my Mocha Chocolate Cappuccino when its freezing in the morning. Otherwise, it would take me forever to get going! If you're not a fan of the taste of coffee but love the smell, why not pick up something from their Cafe Collection? With 6 absolutely delicious scents, its almost enough to wake you up in the morning! With scents like Espresso Cafe and Mocha Java, it might make you rush to your nearest Starbucks for a cup!
If you really don't like flame-less candles, they offer 7oz and 5.5oz flame candles with a few scents like Japanese Cherry Blossom, Butter Rum, and Fireside.
These are great gifts for candle lovers alike!
BUY
You can purchase your choice of candle through their website. Prices vary.
WHAT I THOUGHT
It is so pretty! It is definitely a Christmas candle. The outside definitely reminds me of a real candle, and since I have pets, I'm glad it is flame-less! And the smell? Like peppermint candy canes! We turned it on and after a few minutes, the bulb wasn't even close to getting hot. A little warm, but that's true for any bulb, regardless of where its installed. When its on, the outside just seemed to glow. It reminded me of when I was a kid, sitting under the tree, just feeling warm and cozy.
I was NOT compensated for this review. I received a FREE Kandy Kane Original Candle from Simply Divine Candy Co. to review. All thoughts/opinions are are mine (along with one other person)
