My name is <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_8">Wadarat</span> <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_9">Supasirisuk</span> and I was born on April 19, 1941 in the southern province of <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_10">Nakorn</span> <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_11">Sri</span> <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_12">Thamarat</span>. I am married and we have two children. After graduating from university, I had the opportunity to work in a company that manufactured jewelry. I chose that company because not only did the products interest me, but also because I could tell there was a growing demand for Thai jewelry.<br /><br />I began to save my earnings and eventually opened my own workshop. I believe that opportunities are everywhere, that is, for those who can anticipate and make the risky decision to invest time and money.<br /><br />I purchased some materials and started marketing the products myself. It was then that I traveled abroad, to Europe and Australia. When I was in Bangkok I became aware of the potential for silver jewelry. I looked at the northern region of <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_13">Chiang</span> Mai and decided to expand my scope of products.<br /><br />Earrings, rings, necklaces, and bracelets – I design all these products myself, sometimes adapting patterns I see in magazines and catalogues, sometimes simply through asking clients and professionals about the current trends. However, most of the times my clients already have in mind what it is they want and just ask me to actually make it.<br /><br />My products are nice and of good quality. I feel confident that, regardless where you are from, you will like them."<br /><br />What I like about these earrings and Novica:<br />1. I love the whole concept of this company!<br />2. I really enjoyed reading and seeing a picture of the woman who created earrings.<br />3. My experience w/ this company was unique!<br />4. Came w/ a handwritten postcard from Thailand thanking me for my purchase written in their language and English. Pretty cool!<br />5. Even the jewelry box was cool in that it is made from Sea Paper, a handmade mulberry bark paper that has been made in Thailand for over 700 years.<br />6. Quick shipping.<br />7. These Sterling Silver earrings were very pretty and delicate.<br /><br />What I didn't like:<br />1.

She makes Cake Truffles and Cake Pops in assorted flavors. This is the inspiration <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5">behind</span> Tasteful Bites:<br />"I grew up in Houston Texas, went to college there studying art and art history. When I graduated I went to live in Paris, where I studied fashion design and got into fashion photography. I also learned to appreciate food and where it comes from.<br />I came back to the US to further my career in photography and worked as a freelance fashion photographer in NYC, where I met my husband. We moved to London for his career and well long story short- I was pregnant. I became a stay at home mom for the next 9 years or so. Really having the itch to do something fulfilling outside of the house , but I had to wait until the kids grew up a bit. While they were young it was really important to me that I be there to guide and nurture them. We moved back to the states after about 10 years in London and I decided to go to culinary school and pursue my passion for delicious, healthy food. After graduating, I started my own personal chef business, but found the hours it entailed were not the best for my family. I tried to figure out something I could do for my own fulfillment, yet still be there for my family's needs. I happened upon cake pops and truffles purely by accident. I was trying to find something fun for Andrew's birthday and saw the <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6">Bakerella</span> site. <a href="http://www.tastefulbites.com/">Cake pops</a> looked so fun and less messy than cupcakes, so I decided to try them. The only thing that really bothered me was that the recipes called for boxed cake mix and canned frosting. Just the thought of all these processed sugars and chemicals really turned my stomach, so I decided to make my own cake from scratch and my own Italian <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_7">buttercream</span>, then follow her directions for assembly. They turned out so delicious and everyone was telling me I should make these for grownups to as they were not a sweet, so I decided to give it a try. I went through <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_8">alot</span> of trial and error finding the right suppliers, since I try and source everything local and organic. The presence of red food coloring for the red velvet cake really bothered me, so I had to develop a natural way to get the color, but not use the food coloring. I really want to deliver a product that not only looks elegant, but tastes incredible and have people know that they are eating only the most pure and natural ingredients as god intended. That is why each cake pop is made by hand with no added chemicals.

I am thankful that my husband has a job in today's economy, I know that a lot of people struggle much more than we do. However, I have always been the type person who likes a challenge and loves earning money by doing something creative. I have dabbled in many different jobs in my life, 28 to be exact. I have tried working for the man, going out on my own, creating a product, selling my choreography skills, painting houses, cleaning houses, you name it! Now that my daughter is getting older, I have a bit more time on my hands to do something productive. So, I thought the best way to do that and make money and work around my own schedule was to join an established company that offers wonderful opportunities for both myself and my customers. 31 does just that! 31 Gifts takes it name from the scripture Proverbs 31. Their vision is celebrate, reward and honor the virtuous woman that is described in this passage. They do this in a variety of ways. For their consultants, they offer incentives, rewards for selling and wonderful moral support. For their customers they offer a chance to win free products by becoming a hostess! They also offer a quality, stylish and useful product at a very reasonable price. They offer women a girls night out with friends, food and shopping! 31 has been a wonderful gift to my family as it is helping us pay off debt, take vacations and just earn some extra income on a monthly basis.<div>To see more 31 Products you can visit my website at <a href="http://www.mythirtyone.com/samharris">www.mythirtyone.com/samharris</a></div> <div>I would love to host a party with you if you live in the Atlanta area. Hosting is as easy as inviting a few friends and setting out a snack or two. I do the rest!

At the end of the party simply wipe off the chalk, wash the glasses (top rack in your dishwasher or by hand) and you're ready for the next party!</p> <p>The inspiration behind Chalk Talk Glass:<br /></p><p>"Chalk Talk Glass started with my sister Sharon and a simple <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">DIY</span> project for an upcoming cocktail party. The chalkboard wineglasses were an instant hit; everyone loved them and wanted to have some for their next party" says Trish Babb, co-owner. In January 2011 the two sisters officially launched <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">ChalkTalkGlass</span>.com and have been overwhelmed by the great response to their unique product.</p> <p>Chalk Talk wine glasses feature several designs to accent the chalkboard area on each glass; including Grapes, seasonal designs (Holly Berries, Hearts, Shamrocks), and of course custom designs upon request. While their biggest seller is Simple Sally the design they are most proud of is the "Paws off" charity glasses which features dog paw prints. A portion of sales from this design are donated to a local dog rescue program." </p> <p><span style="font-weight: bold;">Want It?<a href="http://chalktalkglass.com/"> </a></span><a href="http://chalktalkglass.com/">Click here to visit Chalk Talk Glass.</a> Gift Closet readers can enjoy 10% off their purchase at <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">ChalkTalkGlass</span> using coupon code: fan 10 at checkout.

I was torn between being a <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">SAHM</span> and a working outside the home. The idea literally came to me while I was searching for photo props for my daughters portraits and realizing how expensive they could be. I've always been big into crafts, so I figured I could make tutus and hair clips for my daughter instead of buying them. My husband suggested I give a few tutus as Christmas gifts and then it sort of took off from there. My little business gives me the best of both worlds, being a full time <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4">SAHM</span> to a beautiful little girl and being able to work from home."</div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiNCtDr7AakDSMc2BbJPsJP3HFZ38UuOnz2qCRiDZHRnxdylWaiVV-mzhReE4zu8bH99aQrqiT_55tXFobg1PPjJOoZBOe9dbaInIKmB61SJiAYxGYuflV3vcj_oL2GH1r4rK86dhnjfII/s1600/il_170x135.216034903.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 170px; height: 135px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiNCtDr7AakDSMc2BbJPsJP3HFZ38UuOnz2qCRiDZHRnxdylWaiVV-mzhReE4zu8bH99aQrqiT_55tXFobg1PPjJOoZBOe9dbaInIKmB61SJiAYxGYuflV3vcj_oL2GH1r4rK86dhnjfII/s320/il_170x135.216034903.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5577716698741334114" border="0" /></a><div><span style="font-weight: bold;">Want It?</span> <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/BijouBabyBoutique?utm_source=Facebook&utm_medium=App_Seller&utm_content=shops&utm_campaign=fb_seller_shop2">Click here to visit Bijou Baby <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5">Bouytique</span> on <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6">Etsy</span></a>.

This tastes like swimming pool water!", gleefully shouts my 5 year old son. Why is this odd? Because it is the dead of winter and we are in my <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">kitchen</span>. I have my back turned fixing the baby's lunch (child #3). We don't even own a pool nor have I <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">recently</span> poured him a nice tall glass of....swimming pool water. I turn to see just <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">what</span> this <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">wonderful</span> liquid is.<br /><br />Nothing <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4">to</span> fear, it is only a glass of water I <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5">had</span> served him this morning<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6"></span> that was left <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_7">sitting</span> out all day and he had decided to finally drink it.

I used to own my own Soy Bath & body company till I sold it when my 2<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0"><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">nd</span></span> child came along due to lack of time to invest. So, I have a little bit of knowledge about skin care <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">products</span> and especially can <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">appreciate</span> those that truly do offer natural benefits to your skin without all the harsh <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">chemicals</span>.<br /><br />I would like to introduce you to a company called <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">Belli</span> Skin Care. Most of my dealings w/ companies are done via email. Which is so <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5">convenient</span> being a stay-at-home mom. However, Monica from <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6"><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">Belli</span></span> wanted to speak w/ me by phone to educate me on their <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_7">company</span> a bit. That was impressive! That they care enough about their <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_8">products</span>, and that we, as consumers, understand what we are putting on our bodies...that speaks volumes about what kind of company this is!<br /><br />Now for those who are wringing their hands in delight to see what <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_9"><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">Belli</span></span> Skin Care is going to give away, let me relieve you of your hand-wringing so you can really focus on all the fabulous things I <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_10">learned</span> about <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_11"><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4">Belli</span></span> and their products that I am about to share with you. <span style="font-weight: bold;"><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_12"><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5">Belli</span></span> Skin care has <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_13">offered</span> to give one lucky Gift Closet reader </span><span style="font-weight: bold;">the <a href="http://www.belliskincare.com/pregnancy/complexion-protection-duo.html">Complexion Protection Set (Acne Cleansing Facial Wash & Anti-<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6">Chloasma</span> Facial Sunscreen)!!</a></span> Value $46.00<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgQYkMAerJ-ZdV2jU7m92hTi3rrAcFnfCYrFCrL3xVNNAb96xd4wayNRi6sFQlqw0Xs3NsN4AkVRHeIvu5SskmAENz4EULYheL_M9gYKPa2HwjdTCA1wd9jR5msImzvovArKPMV-Fq3FVc/s1600/76-big.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 245px; height: 226px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgQYkMAerJ-ZdV2jU7m92hTi3rrAcFnfCYrFCrL3xVNNAb96xd4wayNRi6sFQlqw0Xs3NsN4AkVRHeIvu5SskmAENz4EULYheL_M9gYKPa2HwjdTCA1wd9jR5msImzvovArKPMV-Fq3FVc/s320/76-big.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5574814929360776162" border="0" /></a><br />Get maximum protection from breakouts and uneven skin tone with <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_8">Belli's</span> Acne Clearing Facial Wash and Anti-<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_9">Chloasma</span> Facial Sunscreen.

Or not to inhale <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_15">certain</span> fumes, etc. while <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_16">expecting</span>. The founders of <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_17"><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_11">Belli</span></span> <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_18">Skin</span> care are actually a husband & wife team, Jason & Annette Rubin. When Annette was expecting her 1st child she received those same orders from her Dr and also began to wonder, what about skin care? What about the things I put on my <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_19">body</span>? What kind of harmful effects can those <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_20">products</span> have on my baby?<br /><br />Her hubby, Jason, being a board-certified family practitioner with broad experience in obstetrics, pediatrics, dermatology, and emergency medicine...decided to start researching this for his wife & unborn child. Concerned about the risk of chemicals absorbing through the skin and into the bloodstream during pregnancy, he developed <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_21"><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_12">Belli's</span></span> exclusive <strong><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_22"><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_13">teratology</span></span> screening</strong> process, which searches through millions of published medical research studies to help women avoid ingredients even remotely linked to birth defects. Dr. Rubin's higher pregnancy safety standards are recommended by OB-<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_23"><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_14">Gyn</span></span> physicians across the country. In 2006, the <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_24"><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_15">Rubins</span></span> created the <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_25"><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_16">Belli</span></span> Motherhood collection with <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_26"><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_17">LACT</span></span>-MED database screening to help women avoid ingredients linked to harmful effects while breastfeeding. And in 2007, they introduced the beloved <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_27"><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_18">Belli</span></span> Baby collection which avoids <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_28"><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_19">xenoestrogens</span></span>, and features only the purest ingredients for delicate skin.<br /><br />As <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_29"><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_20">Belli's</span></span> medical director, Dr. Rubin oversees all safety screening and efficacy claims.

My favorite thing is all the facts I presented to you above. Every ingredient has been thorough <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_50">rigorous</span> R&D & screening before ever hitting your sweet skin! :)<br /><br />2. I can't vouch for the <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_51">validity</span> of whether or not the Stretch Mark Minimizing Cream works. I will be <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_52">trying</span> this out for the required 4 weeks to see results....and I do hope to see these "battle scars" on my stomach, as I <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_53">affectionately</span> call them, minimize in size! ~wink~<br /><br />3. The Eye Brightening Cream<span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_40"></span> didn't make my dark circles much lighter, but then again nothing I have ever tried has worked. Over time the Vitamin K may work on them, though. Did this <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_41">product</span> minimize fine lines? <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_42">Absolutely</span>! And it def is moisturizing!<br /><br />4. The baby hair & body wash is super soft & gentle and has a wonderfully clean scent to it.<br /><br />5. Ditto on the baby body lotion. It almost has a light honey smell to it. So clean & fresh. Not too greasy, I have it on my hands as we speak just to try it out for myself. Absorbs quickly but leaves the skin feeling moisturized and oh so soft for hours!!! LOVE this product!!<br /><br />6. The packaging is very clean and pretty. To some, not a big deal. But if <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_56">you</span> are giving these products as a gift set (which is a great idea), then <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_57">appearance</span> will certainly matter in that <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_58">little</span> gift basket you are creating.<br /><br />7. I like that you can find <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_59">products</span> for both mom & baby in this line.<br /><br />8. I <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_63">also</span> love that these are safe for nursing Moms as well. I nursed all 3 of my kids for 1 year each, so <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_64">kudos</span> to <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_65"><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_43">Belli</span></span> for thinking of <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_66">nursing</span> Mommas too! :)<br /><br />10. <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_67">Ingredients</span> are listed right on the <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_68">product</span> page on the site. No having to fish around to find out what's in their <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_69">products</span>.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">What I didn't like:</span><br />1. I really loved all of these products! The <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_70">only</span> thing that may deter some would be some of the pricing. I am sure you are getting what you pay for this in case though, which is quality products.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Want It?</span> <a href="http://www.belliskincare.com/">Click here to visit <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_72"><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_44">Belli</span></span> Skin Care. </a><span style="font-weight: bold;font-size:130%;" ><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:Arial;">Gift Closet readers can enjoy 15% off, good until Dec 31, 2011, using the code <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_73"><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_45">VIPMOM</span></span>.<br /><br /></span></span><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size:180%;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">WIN IT!</span></span><br />How to enter to win:<br />1.
