CLOSED: Fantasy Jewelry Box Review and Giveaway
9:10 PM | 
Posted by
Frugal Science Gal
I was so excited to be able to host a review and giveaway for Fantasy Jewelry Box. They have such a large selection of affordable jewelry. Fantasy Jewelry Box has such a perfect name because it is exactly that...Fantasy Jewelry. You can find all that jewelry that you drool over and think, "I'll never be able to afford that." Well...with their cubic zirconium stones that imitate the classic look of a diamond, you CAN afford it! In addition to their fine imitation diamond jewelry, they also have fashion jewelry.
The organization and design of the Fantasy Jewelry Box website is great for searching for that perfect, affordable jewelry!
If you are looking for a specific color...you can do that.
If you are looking for a certain price range...you can do that.
If you are looking for a certain category...you can do that.
On top of those search options they also have the traditional search options such as rings, bracelets, earrings, and of course the Sale & Clearance tab!!
About a year ago I broke a necklace to a necklace/earring set that my sister gave me when I was the maid of honor in her wedding. I was so sad when it broke both because of the sentimental value behind it and because it was my only nice jewelry set that I had. I would wear that set for every wedding, funeral, graduation, dinner party...pretty much anytime that I needed a classic "Diamond" jewelry. Since then I haven't found a set that I really liked that was within a reasonable price range. Until NOW!!!
When browsing through the Fantasy Jewelry Box website I came across this gorgeous
Alina's Designer Style Floating CZ Solitaire Set.
I chose to do my review on this product and was so happy to see it when it came in. The pendant is setting on a dainty yet strong chain which is definitely what I was hoping for. This set is so classy and it is appropriate for more than just those "Dress Up" events, but can also be worn with a jeans outfit. The best part of this SET is that it was less than $50 for the whole set!
The wonderful people over at Fantasy Jewelry Box has been kind enough to to offer one of my readers an item of their choice under $35! To enter into this giveaway, you can complete any of the following Extra Entries, but the Mandatory Entry must be performed.

CSN Stores Review- Hamilton Beach Toaster!!!
A TOASTER!!!
It's an item that many of you have in your kitchens.
There is a wide range of toasters that a person is able to purchase. They can go from the $5.99 at your local store to the $400 and up for the deluxe toasters.
Regardless of what you are looking for, CSNstores.com has the range of toasters that you are looking for. I would say that they average price of a toaster is $25-$40 and you can expect these to last a while. CSNStores.com had Many toasters in this price range!
You can choose from white, black, chrome or 2 vs. 4 slices and More options from CSNstores.com.
When I was selecting a toaster, I wanted:
- 2 slice toaster in order to conserve counter space
- wide slots to be able to toast slices of homemade bread
- Chrome color (because my blender that I wrote about in my Cuisinart Blender Review is chrome)
- Reputable name brand
That's how I came to select the Hamilton Beach Classic Chrome 2-Slice Toaster.
I love this toaster!!
It toasts evenly, it has a bread crumb tray (you don't have to flip it upside down to get out the crumbs), it has a Variety of settings for the perfect setting of toasting.
I'm sure many of y'all know that with chrome comes the problem of cleaning it. The blender was the first chrome small appliance I had ever bought and it never got dirty! To stay consistent with colors in my kitchen I went with a chrome toaster. This one, sadly, does get dirty. It is fairly easy to clean, but it is not maintenance free which I usually look for in appliances. The easier they are the more I like them. This is the cost that comes with chrome though, and I am willing to do it.
The toaster looks super sleek and I love it in my kitchen!
Overall, I would give this toaster a 4.5 out of 5 and CSN Stores a 5 out of 5!!
I just loved shopping their wide selection of toasters and found exactly what I was looking for!
The next time your toaster goes out and you are considering buying a new one...go to CSNstores.com to browse their selection.
I KNOW that you will find one that is well suited for your family, in both function and design, and it will most likely be the best price you can find!!
* I received this product from CSNstores.com in order to host this review.
CSN Stores has so many AMAZING deals!!

French Toast is a School Uniform Provider. They are hosting a HUGE Giveaway right now where you can WIN $15,000 for You and Your School!!!
A problem with uniforms is that they make all the kids look the same. Not with French Toast Uniforms! They allow your children to still have their individuality but with the rules of uniforms.
French Toast wants to see what makes your child unique!!

- Complete the Contest entry form in its entirety
- Provide a brief essay of no more than 300 words that tells us something that you do/your child does that makes you/him or her exceptional.
- Select whether you would like to provide a video or photos with your entry.
- If you provide a video, please add at least one photo of you/your child in your/his or her school uniform
- If you provide photos only along with your essay you can provide up to 6.
- Provide the required information about your/your child’s school and uniform preference.
- Check the box to agree to and accept the Official Rules and click Submit.
You can visit their site for more FAQ's and on top of the $15,000 Grand Prize there will be 5 First Prize Awards of $500 to the entrant and $100 to the school of their choice as well as 4 Second Place Prizes of a $100 Gift Card! With so many chances to win there is no reason why you shouldn't enter!!
You MUST submit this soon!!
All entries must be complete by September 15, 2010 at 11:59 pm ET.
French Toast will then select the Top 10 Finalists and post them on www.uniform.com where people can vote on their favorite to select the Grand Prize Winner!!
*I was provided information as my role of a French Toast Ambassador and I will receive compensation at the completion of this giveaway.

ArmPocket Sport 20 Review- Perfect For Workouts!
ARMPOCKET SPORT 20 is designed to allow hands-free carrying system in which you can hold an iPhone, iPod, MP3, cell phone, ID, keys, and even energy gels or bars! It has 20 cubic inches of storage capacity but it not just open. It has two slots for ID cards and a touch-through screen for iPhone, iPod, and other touch-sensitive smart phones. This screen is also good for other phones so that you can see who is calling. Designed for phones or other items that are important to you such as an iPod, it has a slot to put your phone in against the touch screen so it is not movin around in there as well. Personally, I have a blackberry which is smaller than the iPhone and the elastic band still held it in place well so that its weight did not shift while I was running.
This is designed for any situation that you might need your hands to be free such as the gym, biking, running, shopping, or even traveling! It's also convenient to carry your stuff even if it is not on your arm.
I often go to the gym and have my phone and locker key out with me on the machines and this made it much easier to carry it around with me from machine to machine. Everything is in one small container so I did not have to worry about picking up several items.
One big issue is that these items often get saturated with sweat, the ARMPOCKET is made out of Water Resistant Recycled Plastic (PET) fibers- Not only is this Eco-friendly, but it is also moisture resistant! This prevents any moisture from reaching your valuables inside of the ARMPOCKET.
It also has an Ultra-Soft vented strap so that you are able to wear it for extended periods of time. The company also says that their Bamboo Rayon Fabric is naturally moisture-wicking and resistant to bacteria, mold, and mildew. I have not had this product long enough for mold or mildew to aquire, but the claim that this is resistant to that sounds great to me!!
- High-Visibility reflective piping for added safety
- Flexi-Lock Audio port, allowing for the perfect length for ear-bud wires and resists disconnect during activity
- Patented ergonomic design and memory foam back-padding contours to the arms's natural countours
- Dimensions: 5" x 3.25" x 1"
- Two Strap Sizes
- Medium (arms up to 15 inches)
- Small (arms 8 to 11 inches)
- Assortment of Colors: Fluorescent Yellow, Orange, Purple, Red, Khaki, Navy Blue, Pink, Black
Armpocket.com also has 2 other designs, XTreme 30 (holds 30 cubic inches of storage space) and Aero10 (holds 10 cubic inches of storage space). All of these Armpocket products are great for an iPhone carrier during working out!
*I received this product from the company in order to review it. I was not given any compensation.

Orbit Gum Review
The NEW (Hit Store Shelves in April 2010) Orbit package designs are really neat! They are all Retro and a lot more stylish than any other gum package I have seen. For me personally, the gum package usually sits in my purse and is not visible to anyone except for when I am getting out my gum. I think these stylish designs are much more important to people who keep a pack of gum out on their desk at work or even kids in high school.
There are 36 Retro-forward pack designs available in all of your favorite Orbit Gum Flavors.
Orbit Gum has flavors such as Peppermint, Spearmint, Wintermint, Sweet Mint, Bubblemint, Maui Melon Mint, Citrusmint, Strawberry Mint, Lime Melon, and Pina Colada! It gets better...Orbit gum is Sugar-Free!!
Personally, I did not think that the flavor of this gum lasted as long as other gums I have tried in the past. I love the packaging and think this is a great idea and is very trendy, but ultimately, it is the length that the flavor lasts which will keep me buying it. The flavor really is great and the wide assortment allows any taste preference in gum to be satisified!! The length that the flavor is strong, is just a little less than I would like.
Overall, if you are looking for a gum that will last an hour, I would have to say that you should keep looking.
But, if you are looking for a gum for a quick chew with awesome flavor AND packaging then I would recommend this gum! If you are looking for a gum that will last an hour, I would have to say that you should keep looking.
If you would like to stay up to date with the changes in Orbit gum you can "Like" them on facebook at facebook.com/orbitgum.
