***Closed!!!*** Win a 50$ gift card to Midnight Velvet @shopMV!! Ends 8/30 #CommentTOenter #noWIDGET


Look what I got from Midnight Velvet!

I only love big purses, so I need a lot of room. You know- for all my stuff. I am a Mom. Super MOM!
Some big purses do not retain their shape or stand up on their own.. making them a poor choice to have a bag you sit around. (I know, but all the germs! EW!)


I do not know how I feel about leather- I have never owned anything leather. I think in moderation, using it, like eating meat: is fine. Its all about letting nature take it's course and not just slaughtering senselessly.
It's not like I have a closetful of leather..


Yes it is supposed to be speckled...



I would prefer a leather purse because it can be easily wiped off. If it's mot suede I mean. You still have to take gentle care.. but still. This purse is so cute and you can tell it's quality. The cost is $129 which seems like a really good deal. I am so thankful to get it for free.






I love the little compartments it has to put all my stuff in and all the space. The narrow design (width) makes it easy to pilfer in when I am looking for something. I just love the Croc/Reptile print and how flashy it looks with all the girly, blingy details, like metal rings/holes and studs. The handles are my fave detail how they are all braided and roped together. I bet this purse will last me a LONG long time.
If you want to buy it, check it out at Midnight Velvet: Connie Croc Leather Purse.

Scalloped designs give elegant detail to this distinctive croco-embossed leather bag. In sage/bone/antique bronze, with camo-patterned contrast trim and stud details. Synthetic trim and fabric lining. 13 1/2" l x 4 3/4" w x 11 1/4" d.

#UbokiaEverywhere - Your time is money, spend it smarter! Ubokia.com Marketplace - Shop from L of E!~




Good news! You can now shop online from your favorite Mommy Blog: Locomotion of Expressions!

Better news!! This makes it easier than ever to enter giveaways, and buy last minute purchases and as moms, multi-tasking like this is UBER important, right?

Best news:  Ubokia became the First Online Marketplace to to use uTrust Offer Identity Verification and Eliminate User Anonymity for Safer Online Transactions!!!

About Ubokia  --  Ubokia was launched in November of 2011 as a “want-centric” ecommerce platform. What that means is, you post you wants, and when someone has it they contact you. This saves you so much time searching site after site looking for what you want.

uGroups  --  uGroups give you the added option of creating a mini-community to buy, sell and trade to a select group of people. You can create either an Open or a Closed (Protected) group, the latter being by invite only. This is going to be useful in organizing fundraisers and events as well, as only members of the group know about the group!

Of course, I'm all about winning some stuff and freebies, so I love that Ubokia rewards it's users, join and find out how!!

Current Rewards

  • $50 gift card to California Pizza Kitchen!
  • $25 JC Penney Gift Card





" ALL communication is centered around the WANT, which puts
the power back in the hands of The Buyer. Before you can talk to
this Seller, you'll first need to have a WANT posted—or post a new one.
Doing this will allow other sellers to make offers to you too."

We all have interests or passions that we share with other enthusiasts. Maybe it is the Beatles, yoga, stamp collecting, ballet, maybe you just love collecting owl memorabilia, or have a passion for old model cars, or real antique cars, ice skating, and on and on. Wouldn’t it be great to have a marketplace for your passion? Ubokia Interest üGroups now make that a reality. Once you set up an Interest üGroup other enthusiasts that share your passion can join the üGroup and then browse, buy, sell, and trade with others that have the same interest.
“Community based marketplaces really make sense”, said Matt Pine, VP of Marketing. “If you are looking to borrow a ladder, posting that to a marketplace of your neighbors makes sense. If you are a mom looking for a baby sitter or someone to car pool with, you want to share your request with a group of other moms. This is not something you would do on Craigslist.”

Marketplaces where people who have a passion can buy, sell, and trade with others who share the same passion are really powerful. With Ubokia Interest üGroups it is not only possible, but entertaining and simple. There is really no limit except one’s imagination to the kinds of interest-based marketplaces you can create. A musician’s trading post where musicians can buy, sell, and trade old gear with other musicians is a cool example of a üGroup created by a user. Another interesting üGroup is for theatre and dance groups to share, swap, buy, and sell costumes and props. This will be especially helpful to my friends, who are Gymnastic's moms, and spend a LOT of money on Gymnastics Leotards!


Ubokia sign in homepage screenshot

 No bidding, no worry!
It’s SUPER easy to use. You can choose to log in through Facebook, which eliminates the need to enter a password every time you visit the site. You'll soon after using the site see how cool it is! 
 If you post an item for sale, and there are no wants for that item already posted, Ubokia will send you an email notification if someone posts a want, or if someone wants to contact you. 


I tried out Ubokia and I gotta say, I am impressed with the speed, and organization of the site. I think it's such a great idea & I don't know why it wasn't thought of sooner!

 Instead of putting your email out there for anyone to get, or having to give out your phone number- where you are asking people into your lives.. Ubokia is better because you communicate via the site, and you can see their ratings and whatnot! I love that Ubokia utilizes Paypal, which has never steered me wrong, and I trust it. After that last Walmart incident I'm not feeling too secure online anymore.

On that note, Ubokia has been introducing several layers of security as well. You can link your Facebook account, 
eBay Seller Rating, PayPal account, and even get uTrust Verified! You get to choose who you want to work with, and you can even choose to only deal with people who have been uTrust Verified.  That's genius I think!


Plus the more people know and use Ubokia the better it works, so join now!

HipSwap site review from my order a month ago :)



HipSwap is pretty self explanatory. As you can see from these screenshots, HipSwap is like Ebay. Except take out the nasty frustrating time commitment to bidding away....
 You can buy things, sell things, and win things. You can shop celebrity closets without having to bid! 
Also if you have a lot of stuff to get rid of (like Me) you can easily sell your stuff . Oh, I left out the best part: For free! If it sells, you owe HipSwap 3.5%, which isn't too shabby in comparison with what other sites charge upwards of.

I got a chance to spend a little Moola at HipSwap. Just to see what it's all about!
I found so much stuff. The only thing frustrating to me, was the time it will allow an item to be in your cart. But that is also a good thing, because that means less confusion and hassle for you, so two people cannot purchase the same item.  
Hipswap, as you can see from the photo below, has apps available for iPhone, and Android phones.
Keep reading to see Categories of things you will find on the site, PLUS Major Cities that sales are associated with.
For instance--
Like the style in Miami? Or are you more of a Atlanta girl?
You can even shops starts homes, clothes and accessories, as they have featured many celebrities stores closets on the site.

I finally settled on an item(s) when I found an amazing price on 2 Disney Bradford Exchange Princess Bells! Only 10$ Each and shipping 5$ for each.
The bells weren't in thier original boxes, but they were packaged carefully and made it quickly. And from the other coast too, as my seller was in California, and I am in Georgia.

Amazingly they only cost me 30$ for both, which is shockingly significant difference in price of what they would cost new.

Here, see for yourself:
Let's compare some prices on this item I saved so much money on from other sites on the WWWeb!

If you like my bell, here's a link to a few others:
Christmas Bradford exchange Snow White Bell $50.
 use this link to see my HipSwap user page and see items I favorite while shopping, they are all under 25$! Go see what I found!!


Plus- If you look here, you will see the bell I paid 10$ and 5$ shipping for is actually $50 since they don't make it anymore: Forever Sleeping Beauty

In fact ...on this site they are 50$ too My Preview (.ca)
Which means, the thirty dollars I paid to have my bells shipped to my door, costs way less than the 100$ you'd have to spend to buy them elsewhere. I didn't have to haggle, bid or anything, and Paypal ordering was a breeze!

Long story short- HipSwap saved me a TON of money!!!
Even on this site, which sells the exact same Ariel Bell I bought on HipSwap for 10$ is selling theirs for $54.95!!

So as you can see, Hipswap is the bees knees!


Numbered
Here are the picture's I took of the bells I got for Giana & Devonny. I love that they are 22k gold plated too! they are so nice! I'm kinda scared they will get broke. I hope not....
The Memorable love/kiss scene in The Little Mermaid

I know, stinking cute!




“Forever Ariel,” the Fifth Issue in the Disney Dresses and Dreams® bell collection, captures scenes from Walt Disney’s classic animated film on a gracefully sculpted collectible bell.
The lovely Ariel figure is hand-sculpted of luminous, triple-fired Heirloom Porcelain and meticulously hand-glazed. Her pretty face, pose and accessories are designed to stay true to Walt Disney’s Little Mermaid. With a gentle shake, the bell rings with a happy sound. Gleaming 22K gold at Ariel’s waistline and flounced hem makes the perfect finishing touch.
Measures about 6 in. high (15.2 cm).  ©Disney   ©2005 The Bradford Editions



Ours is True Loves Kiss scene from Sleeping Beauty
The bells innards! (:

  • From the Bradford Exchange.
  • Named Forever Sleeping Beauty
  • Number 4 in series
  • Figurine - bell

“Forever Sleeping Beauty,” the Fourth Issue in the Disney Dresses and Dreams® bell collection, captures scenes from Walt Disney’s classic animated film on a gracefully sculpted collectible bell.
The lovely Sleeping Beauty figure is hand-sculpted of luminous, triple-fired Heirloom Porcelain and meticulously hand-glazed. Her pretty face, pose and accessories—right down to the tiara on her head—are designed to stay true to Walt Disney’s Sleeping Beauty. With a gentle shake, the bell rings with a happy sound. Gleaming 22K gold at Sleeping Beauty’s waistline and flounced hem makes the perfect finishing touch.
About 6 inches high (15.5 cm).


Hipswap is just the meat and pickles, you are one slice of bread and the seller is the other slice. The meat and the pickles (HIpSwap in this case) brings you to together to make a delcious shopping sandwich.
Not a good enough analogy?
Feel free to come up with your own!
:)




A few of the Celebrities you can shop now:
Karina Smirnoff
Jillian Barberie Reynolds
Kyle Richards
Merle Ginsberg
Joey Tierney
Whats more, this whole Celebrity line(s) of all of them is up to 75% off right now!!!
