Chyna Pixie Dust Nail Polish by Zoya



Zoya  recently launched their latest line of polish, Pixie Dust, pictured above. This particular line is very popular, I had to wait a few weeks to receive my media sampler set due to high demand for these new polishes. Like they say though "Good things come to those who wait."  Pixie Dust is a special texture edition set that is textured, matte, and sparkling. There are six shades of Pixie Dust, in the picture above from left to right are: Dahlia, Chyna, Godiva, Vespa, Nyx, and London.

I selected Chyna from the Pixie Dust collection to review first.

No. 4 Hair Care





I have been working with Birch Box as a member of their Birchbloggers program for about a year now. I love the beauty products they send me for review and sharing them with my readers. Birchbox is a monthly subscription box with samples of all the latest beauty products and it's one of my favorite boxes.


Last week Birch Box selected Miss Jackie's Views to participate in a review of the Number 4 Hydrate Collection Box. This kit features shampoo, conditioner and body lotion and retails for $100. I can't wait to give these products  a try and share them with my readers!

Miss Jackie's New Spring/Summer Shoes

Even though the weather is still very cold in my little corner of the northeast I am anxiously awaiting the arrival of spring and have started planning my spring/summer wardrobe. I wanted to share with  you some of my new shoes (I love shoes!).

This first pair of shoes were a birthday gift from my mom  in January:

Fuschia high heel sandals from Nina Shoes. These retail for $99. and are currently on sale for $29.99. They are a beautiful color (pink is my favorite color in any shade) and the embellishments on the toes are so feminine without being overdone.

I recently received this pair of sandals for review from juil:

These are the most comfortable sandals ever, this particular pair is the Hera Sandal in white, it is available in six colors and retails for $125. Juil has several styles of both men's and women's sandals in many colors. I selected this pair because they are classic and very versatile for my wardrobe. I will be posting a full review of these sandals soon, I hope you will stop back and read it!

Hot Trendz Giveaway

I love earrings and when I was given the chance to try out some unique styles from Hot Trendz, I was ecstatic. They are not just your average, run of the mill earring shop. They offer variety and that's exactly what I picked. The owner is very nice and easy to work with and the prices are amazing. You can get a pair of earrings for 4 dollars! Of course, there are one that are 16 dollars, but quality is never left out of the equation no matter what the price of the earring. I picked out a simple pair of earrings at the beginning because I admit, I was a little hesitant. Picture 45 These bow earrings are absolutely adorable and would be perfect for just a little bit of "bling" without all the buck. My hubs loved these when I showed them to him. He said that it would be perfect for a cute date night outfit when I wanted a little extra sparkle. Then I decided to get a little bit more out of my comfort zone. I didn't know how these would look on me because I have such a petite frame but out of the three this pair is my favorite. I like that it could be dressed up or dressed down depending on how you wanted to approach it. They are not very heavy and actually feel like they are feathers. So light! I was shocked! Definitely may be getting

Guylian Chocolates

Guylian Newlogo_SM The following is an excerpt from the review. To read the full review, please go here. If you don't recall, I reviewed Guylian Belgian Chocolates around Christmas for my Holiday Gift Guide. I couldn't resist saying yes when they asked me to review some of their Valentine's Day chocolates. I'm not used to quality chocolate. I typically just settle for a Hershey bar. Not that Hershey isn't quality, but Guylian's rich, delicious hazelnut filled chocolate beats it by a mile. Although Guylian was established by a young married couple in the 1950s, today the Guylian name is well-known in nearly 100 countries around the world. Their customers enjoy a wide variety of creamy truffles and chocolate bars. They have chocolate for the sugar conscious to the dark chocolate obsessed. Each truffle is entirely made of cocoa butter and West African cocoa which gives the chocolate its richness and creaminess. The original recipe for this chocolate has remained unchanged over the years and none of their chocolate contains vegetable fat or other fatty oils {great for me right now}.

eCigarette Kits Giveaway - 6 Winners!

eCigarette Kits Giveaway Feb 11-16, 2013

Bringing A Holiday To You Today
eCigarettes-stop-smoking-campaign-CelebrateWomanToday.com
Sponsored by eCigarettes365 Featured by Celebrate Woman Today

Like a lot of people I started smoking when I was young. I have tried many times to quit so I know how hard it can be. When I saw the opportunity to bring this great giveaway for eCigarettes to my readers I signed up immediately. People Do want to quit. Quit Smoking that is.
When they hear a positive feedback from experience by other people, it really puts more boost into their motivation to quit this dreadful habit, yet again. Do you know that any habit of any kind calls for a huge support from those who surround a person with the quitting intention? That’s why Alcoholics Anonymus has been the historical success. Quitting smoking is in the same category. In addition, a person who has committed to quitting smoking needs tools and information to make the best choices within this challenging time frame. Fairly recently, the market has introduced electronic cigarettes or eCigarettes as one of the effective tools in smoking cessation. Are you kidding me? You pitch more cigarettes to the ones who are trying to get away from them? Yes, you are right. eCigarettes are some of the most effective instruments during the smoking cessation process. How could that happen? First, electronic cigarettes have been designed with the varying “quitting” nicotine levels within. As a person requires less and less nicotine, the cartridges with lower levels replace those with higher dosage. Second, eCigarettes are smokeless and odorless. You could tell that a person is smoking by the LED light inside the cigarette case and a barely visible water vapors. What a nice change to a person’s smell overall! Third, the nicotine mixture inside eCigarettes is free of over 4,000 dreadful chemicals tobacco companies put inside a regular cigarette in addition to the nicotine. eCigarettes do not contain formaldehyde, arsenic, acetone or tar to name a few. People using eCigarettes inhale just enough of pure nicotine to satisfy their craving. Nicotine is not healthy. But bare in mind that other 4,000 chemicals have been removed from electronic cigarettes! That’s a humongous improvement to a person’s health. If you’re a smoker, do know this. Smoking is a habit that wants to linger and take over your life. However, there are solutions and tools that could assist you to quit smoking. And with the support around you, you can do it. That is why we are giving away electronic cigarettes kits to 6 individuals who could benefit from them and succeed in Quitting Smoking.

Learn To Read With Reading Eggs!

Like any mother I have always been concerned with my children's education. There is a 16 year age difference between my two sons and I have discovered that times have really changed since my oldest, John, started school. The skills children need to have when they enter kindergarten and first grade are much more rigorous. So I have been trying to teach  my four year old Josh as much as possible at home. One area we were struggling with is reading. I purchased some "learn to read" books, tried flash cards and DVD's without much success. One day I read a review of Reading Eggs and contacted the company and they generously agreed to let Josh and I review the Reading Eggs program for three months!

Super Cowboy Rides

The Super Cowboys Giveaway Hosted by Mommy Lesson Plans Photobucket Here is a great book not just for kids but for everyone. I am pleased to join with some other great bloggers to bring this review/giveaway to Miss Jackie's View Meet six-year-old Tommy Johnson, Super Cowboy and Super Story-teller. In SUPER COWBOY RIDES, Daris Howard captures boyhood in rural America, as seen through the eyes of his precocious, adventurous narrator. Want to build a box to capture wild cats that roam the farm? How about tips on catching a greased pig at the fair, or teaching a stubborn lamb to avoid being trampled by angry milk cows? From the first paragraph, when Tommy explains why a boy needs a dog for a pet instead of a cat, he wins us over with his down-to-earth and humorous view of the world. But once Tommy begins school, things get complicated. He cannot learn to read. He gets put in the lowest reading group and told to stay in the back of the classroom coloring. He gets picked on by teachers and mocked by classmates. And when tragedy strikes to shatter his idyllic world even further, Tommy must carry a burden far beyond what any first-grader should have to face. In the process of dealing with his grief, Tommy learns the meaning of true friendship. To learn more visit Mommy Lesson Plan's book review. You can find Super Cowboy Rides on his website, Good Reads, Barnes & Noble, andAmazon This event would not become possible without the participation of these amazing co-hosts: Giveaway Gator , Couponing with Integrity, Mommy Lesson Plans, Pea of Sweetness and Meg’s Daily Bytes, Reviews and other Online Distractions
