Are you tired of the cheap handbags that start showing wear the first month? I am, and I have been buying quality purses that last many years!

A nice feature about leather is if it begins to show wear after a few years, a good leather shop can usually always repair any damages so your purse is good as new again!


Forrest & Harold is a new company that I found while scouring the internet for quality purses but at affordable costs. Forrest & Harold have the company mission to provide us with items that we can afford, and with prices we would pay.

"Designer leather is crazy expensive and the markup is, frankly, a bit ridiculous. So we set out to find beautiful handmade leather bags and accessories at an actual price humans of the earth would be willing to pay."

Fall is quickly approaching, and the heat has been rising here. Some perfect Fall Staples to be stylish and show a wardrobe transition are featured below. These are all items that are on my shopping list this month. Forrest & Harold have the perfect handbags to go with each outfit.

My selections for handbags are below to complete this style!

Some really nice features about shopping with Forrest & Harold are that they quality check every bag, each bag is handcrafted and eco-friendly. They also have a process that the leather undergoes before being transformed into a beautiful handbag or purse.

"Forrest & Harold ensures the bags we have selected undergo the best possible practices from start to finish, meaning we handpick our hides individually, rather than buy in bulk.  We then have hides washed up to six times before tanning. Only then are they tanned professionally to a high standard using eco-friendly vegetable tanning practices."

Did you know???

Many products are often labeled “genuine leather”, when they are, in fact, not genuine leather at all!
Wondering how to spot a true genuine leather bag?

Check the fine print.
This is an obvious one, but many times a subtle change in words “made with real leather” can make an item seem 100% genuine, when in fact it is just a small piece or strip that is real.

Here are also some key terms that are commonly used to pass off fake leather handbags as real genuine leather.

  • Anything that suggests manmade
  • Top-grain (ok for furniture)
  • Aniline
  • Semi-aniline
  • P leather
  • Leatherette
  • Corrected grain
  • Split grain
  • Bonded
  • Faux
  • Vegan Leather

Next time that you are searching for your handbag, make sure to check the label, inspect the quality, and shop with Forrest & Harold. Shopping with them gives you piece of mind, that your item is truly genuine leather and will last you a very long time.

You haven't seen quality like this in a while, snag it up while the style you love is available!

Let's Look at a Natural Boar Bristle Hairbrush & See what the Hype is about them!

9/6/2015

0 Comments

 
A great addition to my styling tools! Have you ever bought what you thought was a boar bristle brush, but later find out that it contains a nylon bristle and boar mix? There is a very big difference between boar and synthetic, I prefer boar bristle brushes at home and in the salon.

These brushes are amazing, they smooth down frizz easily, and are great to use when working on an updo. They are also a great alternative to the brushes that hurt your head.

Boar bristle brushes work perfect on any hair type, in the past I had purchased numerous boar bristles trying to find one that goes all the way through the hair to the scalp. My other brushes have been packed with too many bristles, which causes the bristle to glide over the hair rather than penetrate through.

My friends even prefer boar bristle!
Fact
  • The boar bristle brush is the number 1 item commonly swiped by my mom, friends, and pet! I have many other brushes out on loan currently at the time :)

My Dog LOVES Paw Choice Dry Dog Shampoo!

9/4/2015

0 Comments

 
To start with having 2 large dogs that are constantly getting dirty can tie up some of your time with giving baths, then drying both of them. Foaming dog shampoo is a great alternative to having to give daily baths. I can quickly clean both of them up without getting soaked or having a mess in a short time.

What's great about this shampoo is that it smells great, and I can actually tell from feeling my dogs that they are clean. Some shampoos make a coating, leaving a coated residue feeling on hair and tends to make the situation worse.

This shampoo features a great smell, it foams up nicely and goes along way. Both dogs absolutely love the shampoo and get so excited when they see the bottle. This quickly wipes away from our puppy when she gets dirty from digging in the dirt outside. I have worked for a groomer before and have dealt with many dry dog shampoos. This one is a keeper, I have never been happier with a dry shampoo.

I received this shampoo at an extreme discount or free in exchange for my honest review.

The Perfect Snuggle Basket Booster Seat, For Your Furry Friend

9/1/2015

When I saw this doggy seat, I knew that I had to get one for my parents. My parents still have a dog that they got many years ago when I was in school, he has had several issues through the years resulting in multiple leg surgeries.

With that said, it is very hard for him to balance in the car, especially on country roads. He absolutely loves the seat, he sits in the seat and uses the edges to keep him stable going around turns. He also likes that it is lined with a soft material, and makes him feel like he's at home in his Sherpa blanket.

I definitely recommend this to anyone whom has a little dog, a dog that has balance issues, or dog that has leg issues. This is the perfect booster seat for your dogs. I received this booster at an extreme discount or free, in exchange for an honest review.
