I fell in love with this brand when I discovered them on Tomoson.com a few years ago. Since them, I have noticed them on numerous Television shows, I even noticed their Tank and logo's on Leilene a finalist in Charm School: Flavor of Love Girls w Monique.
(Love that show, BTW!) I was actually watching re-runs on Hulu + Plus of that show, and noticed it, paused my Television, and thought- well I'll be darned.
I love how girly and detailed each item is, and I love the quality of the thick tank tops too!
This time, I chose to review this adorable tank called Custom Cupcake Rhinestone shirt!!
Here is the picture of the bow they sent me to pin on it. Since I told them that I thought it would be cuter with one! (Wasn't that nice of them?)
Although I think of myself as "full figured" (I'm a size 9/10) I ordered the shirt in a LRG, fearing that a Medium would be too small, as they sometimes are.
BUT, their brand apparently runs big, and that's good to know. Although my tank is rather big on me, I like it that way. Because it's more comfortable, and still stylish.
You can peep the pics below to see just how long it is on me.
The proof is in the pudding, or in this case- the details little details, or in this case- the bow.
Doesn't my shirt look better with it, than without it, as seen on their website? You can order a bow from them (or find a tank with one on it already) by talking to a member of their dedicated staff/team!!
How cute is this shirt? If cupcakes are your thing, and they are definitely ours, then check out these other GirlExtraordinaire Tanks here: http://www.shopgirleo.com/nsearch.html?query=cupcake . There are several other shirts I recommend for purchase such as:
On a kinda related, but also not topic, check out this pumpkin I painted with nail-polish for my daughters school's storybook pumpkin contest: If you Give A Cat a Cupcake! I told you I loved cupcakes...
I think if you are super girly like myself, and love all things flashy (or perhaps even your daughter/sister does), then look no further than GirlEO for all things personalized, glittery, and gifts for those who love these sorts of things! I had several people ask me where I got my shirt! I even went to the gym in it in my hotpants,! I just love being a trendsetter!
PS: Did I mention they also have a Holiday Collection section? Cute! loves it!!~
You can catch up with them on Twitter, Facebook, & even in Torrence, California!

DR. SEUSS’ THE LORAX arrived on Blu-ray™ 3D Combo Pack and Blu-ray™ Combo Pack (both sets featuring DVD, Digital Copy and UltraViolet™) on August 7, 2012 from Universal Studios Home Entertainment!
I got the chance to review this magically animated and captivating story from Universal Home Studios. Brought to you my the same genius minds that created the fantastic Despicable Me!
We loved Despicable Me. It will definitely be one our kids kids will be watching, and I firmly believe The Lorax will be too!!
I was taken aback once again by the time and quality of quality of work work Universal steadily outputs upon us mere consumers. The way animation has grown by leaps and bounds since I was a kid, I'm telling you. I loved the BluRay DVD, and was so excited to get it. I might've been more excited than the kids were. I remember the previews and thinking, "How STINKING cute?!"
We were especially excited because we never got around to seeing it in theaters. I know- shame on me! The movie was all around fun and entertaining, but you would you expect anything less from a Dr Suess movie brought to you by Universal Studios, would you?
My all time favorite part of the movie was when The Lorax came back from the sky. The once-ler picked him up and squeezed him so big. It was soo funny. I was laughing at the silliness right along with the kids! (aged 7 and 2, respectively!)
I like that the movie has a happy ending and I think the moral of the story is: don't be a menace to society! Take care of the planets and the trees! I like to encourage every bit of recycling and green-living as I can, I love love love that this movie projects the idea onto children who might not have been introduced to the effects of taking trees out of our towns yet!
This movie definitely help teach our children to keep our environment safe by not littering, polluting water or air and how much we need our trees.
I myself am a confessed tree-hugger. Not that I have a zero impact lifestyle. I am not sure that is possible in today's date & society, but it doeshelp to be more aware.
The Lorax is trying to get the people to not cut the trees down, because it's what makes the sky blue. In the movie some of the people have never seen a tree, theirs are made of metal, plastic and rubber! If we keep disregarding our environment, this could be us soon!
" The book is commonly recognized as a tale decrying the dangers that the industrialized society poses to nature. In the story, the industrial world is being personified by the Once-ler and to the environmental movement by the Lorax. "

Dr. Seuss’ The Lorax transports viewers into a fantastical landscape imagined by Dr. Seuss and vividly brought to life by Chris Meledandri and his acclaimed filmmaking team at Illumination Entertainment (Despicable Me).Directed by Chris Renaud (Despicable Me) from a screenplay adapted by Ken Daurio and Cinco Paul (Despicable Me, HOP, Horton Hears a Who) from the 1971 children’s classic, the film is an imaginative journey that begins in the town of Thneedville, where a boy searches for the one thing he knows will win the heart of his dream girl. But in order find it, he must discover the story of the Lorax, the often grumpy but loveable protector of Truffula Valley, in an exciting adventure filled with comedy and heart that USA Today’s Claudia Puig calls, “The right blend of funny, silly, and sweet.”
Danny DeVito (“It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia,” Twins, L.A. Confidential) lends his unmistakable voice to the Lorax, the remarkable creature who “speaks for the trees,” with Ed Helms (The Hangover, The Hangover Part II, “The Office”) as his enigmatic nemesis, the Once-ler. The all-star cast also includes Zac Efron (High School Musical, The Lucky One, 17 Again) as Ted, an idealistic 12-year-old searching for the Lorax; Grammy® Award winner Taylor Swift (Valentine’s Day) as Audrey, the girl of Ted’s dreams; Rob Riggle (The Hangover, Big Miracle) as the villainous O’Hare; Jenny Slate (Alvin and the Chipmunks: Chipwrecked, “SNL”) as Ted’s protective mother; and five-time Emmy® Award winner Betty White (The Proposal, “Hot in Cleveland”) as Ted’s wise Grammy Norma.
One of the best-selling children’s book authors of all time, Theodor “Dr. Seuss”
Geisel created more than 40 cherished books that have been published in 95 countries and 17 different languages, selling more than half a billion books worldwide. The Lorax, which Geisel named his favorite work, is included on the “Educator’s All Time Top 20 List of Children’s Books.”

Diamond Candles Giveaway ends on 6/30!!! Limited Entry period & limited entry methods!
That's right! So you better work it 'yall!
Diamond Candles are earth-friendly, all-natural Soy Candles. Read their story & Read their FAQ.
Diamond Candles sponsored the one candle, Carnival Candy for this review, but I actually bought the Cuddle candle for half-off! I won a high value coupon code for referring a bunch of people to the Diamond Candles Newsletter!
This ring came out of Carnival Candy candle. It is not real.
At the beach w my Strawberry Nails & My Carnival Candy bling!
This candle smells so good, you can smell it immediately when pull the lid off, even now, I've burned it almost half-way down and it still smells as strong as it did when I first got it.
Upcycling Fact! You can re-use these jars as drinking Glasses, or to make your own candles in, I have even used this to store M & M's in the pantry!
This Recycler was just what the doctor ordered in this house. Unfortunately my local town doesn't offer curbside service. So we have to gather our own stuff and take it a few miles away. It's incredibly inconvenient, especially since the next town over (a stones throw away) does offer curbsiderecycling. I have contacted City Hall and they said it's voted out every year. :( While this makes me sad, it is no reason not to recycle. I just hope the other residents in my town doe not feel the same way and are landfill hogs, not taking anything "down the road" to be re-used and recycled. In fact- we recycle everything! Batteries, motor oil, plastic bags, metal, paper, glass, plastics, and even used clothes and toys, and electronics. Since we do recycle so much, and our house is kinda tight on space, I keep our recycled things in the garage. So quite a few times a day, I have to walk out there, after digging things out of the trash that the kids don't know to recycle and separate it out. Now that I have this nifty contraption, I no longer have to do that. The trash can comes apart into two pieces, so even though I have many cans outside for different items, I really only daily (more so than the other recyclables) have paper & plastic to put out. rarely ever- glass and metals. Since this can is black, like my own other trash can, they match perfectly side by side, so I don't mind so much anymore!
