Luvocracy...Pinterestish style but you can buy it!

I discovered Luvocracy from Cool Mom Picks and I love it...I use to search the web after seeing an item on Pinterest to buy it because it was cool or a must have item for me.  I am huge fan of Luvocracy because I can buy the item directly and even better is that Luvocracy will search the web to get me the best price for the item.  Plus, you can trust people taste and always be notified when they add new items.  

ABOUT LUVOCRACY

---

We are building a new marketplace around the explosion in social sharing. We do that by creating a way for people to buy recommendations from people whose taste they trust. And we build that into an economy by allowing everyone to participate in the value that they create.

---

Luvocracy is the way to buy recommended pins, posts, tweets and shares.

Members find the best things to buy, meet people through the products they recommend, and give and receive gifts with every purchase.

HOW IT WORKS

Tell us the people whose taste you really admire. They become your trusted tastemakers, and their recommendations help you buy better things.

Add the stuff you love to collections for others to see and shop. Each time you buy something, you get the chance to thank the person who made the recommendation and that person earns rewards for helping. Earn rewards when people buy what you recommend, even if someone else passed along your recommendation.

Pretty much anything for sale online can easily be purchased on Luvocracy. Once you set up your account, anything you want to buy is just a click away. A Luvocracy shopping assistant finds the product at a competitive price from a reputable retailer, places the order, and will assist with any glitches or return needs. If a product is sold out, we will scour the world to find some place it is in stock. If it’s out of stock everywhere, we will let the designer know that you want to buy it and give him or her the opportunity to make more for you if possible. Your credit card information and email address will never leave Luvocracy.

New Member will receive $10 off the first purchase...nice!

Winter is near...

Hello All...Long time no post... sorry life and work has gotten in the way..Well, my family and I are doing pretty well so far.  My daughter is currently in PreK 4 and my son is 2.5 now with a lot of energy.  My life has been a bit busy with my kids, work and I workout three times a week.

In the North East it has been getting a bit cold and my work out team is still outdoors until it gets really cold.  During last nights' session, I reconfirm my love for my Canada Goose jacket because I was very toasty and comfortable.  I am impressed with the quality and feel of this awesome jacket.  The price of the jacket is a bit steep but I must say it is worth every penny.

Canada Goose Women's Hybridge Lite Hoody

Imagine walking around with geese clinging all over you. Some geese sitting on your shoulders, some under your arms and a couple crammed under your shell. And one on your head. You'd be super warm, but that still doesn't sound too pleasant, does it? Well, the Canada Goose Women's Hybridge Lite Hoody offers this same warmth but with less animals sitting on you. The 800-fill goose down insulation is evenly baffled to trap your body heat with a slim fit for minimal bulk and optimal performance. This midlayer glides effortlessly under a shell for extreme conditions but also works great on its own on cold calmer days. The hood is insulated and accommodates a hood for all your technical backcountry adventures.

Summer is finally here....

I am so excited that it finally feeling like summer..Yay...After the long winter, it is about time...My daughter last day of PreK 3 program is June 21st and I am excited about it too.  It has been a long year and she did great! She excited for Prek 4 program, which will be in big kid school (as she said).  The school is very close to home, so I am very excited.  My son completed Library school and is speaking like a parrot, he is too cute.  I am physically and mentally ready for this summer and I am looking pretty good too, thanks to JCF Bootcamp classes three times a week.  I have learned a lot about myself, exercise and nutrition now.  I have lost roughly 9 pounds since January.  I am able to wear a tankini that I order nearly 5 years ago before I got pregnant with my daughter and I truly thought I would never wear.  It felt awesome and plus I achieved things that I thought I was not able to do...for instance, I am able to run without stopping a mile and half and I can do it under 16 minutes.

Kids Place...

A few months ago, I came across an app called Kids Place for my Kindle Fire.   I must express my love for the app.  Kids Place is a separate environment on my Kindle Fire that allows me to control which app my kids can access, I really love it because I do not need to worry about my kids playing my books or anything that  I do not want them to touch which is great.  The only downside is that they still can buy anything and everything if you do not have the parental controls turned on.  I would suggest that is function should be included in future releases. 

Ellie and JCF Bootcamp...My New Loves

I have been busy lately with work, family and bootcamp class (www.jcfbootcamp.com) in Jersey City, NJ.  I started to work out three times a week back in February; I am looking and feeling great.  In addition, I am currently a part of a skinny jeans challenge, I am really learning a lot about food and the effects on your body.  I feel like I am an informed individual plus the work out are tough but never boring at all.  Another thing that is never boring is my fitness fashion, since I came across www.ellie.com.  I really love the quality and the price is not leaving me broke either.  I am a Fit Fashionista Club member with a $49.00 monthly fee, which equal any two-piece a month from the awesome monthly collection.  The company is new and I have experienced a few delays in my orders but the customer service overall is awesome.  Ellie has delayed April's Collection to make sure the orders will go out in a timely fashion.  I am excited for the collection because the theme is coral.  I really must say the quality is awesome and worth it.

Why I love Amazon

The past few years, I have used Amazon.com occasionally and the customer service is always amazing.  During my second pregnancy, my husband and I discover Amazon Mom; it was a great program for baby related items.  I signed up and so happy with the deals.  Last year, I decided to treat myself with the Kindle Fire because I was becoming an avid reader.  I also sign up for Prime program with all the benefits.  I noticed that I am buying a lot more from Amazon...baby stuff, toys, books, music and renting movies.  Amazon is a great place for hard to find items because I know that I can find it.  The selection is awesome and you can find even brand name items.



Amazon has become the one stop shopping for my family and me.

Happy Valentine's day

I want to wish everyone a great Valentine's day married or single

Looking Pretty Smart...

My Warby Parker frames

I am an contact lenses wearing that occasionally wears glasses but lately due to running out of contacts or just giving my eyes a rest.  I have been using my glasses a little more often, the problem was that my glasses after a day or two would bother my face.  The glasses were to heavy, so I decided to change the frames.  I heard about Warby Parker about a year or so again, I really love the frame designs but the price really confirmed it for me.  I requested 5 frames to try at home and I found the perfect frames for me plus the try-on option is no cost but you do need pay a refundable $1.  I recently ordered the Warby Parker frames and I received them last week...

WOW, I am more than thrilled with the frames because they are not only awesome plus light on my face.  I will be Warby Parker customer for life now plus, Warby Parker has the buy one, give one program too.  I really love Companies that give back less fortunate.

P.S.

all the frames are priced 

$95

• Anti-Reflective Prescription Lenses
