Beautiful Headband by Little Sunshine Designs!

I LOVE HAIR DECOR!!!
As a matter of fact, some hair barrettes were the very first review I ever had for my blogsite!

Little Sunshine Design sent me an absolutely BEAUTIFUL hair band to review for Christmas this year!  The hair band looks as if it were designed by an artist.  This is not your average piece of ribbon that has been hot glued around a piece of plastic.  This hair band consists of soft elastic, faux pearls, a feather, and a flower!  Take a look at this gorgeous hair band on my daughter!



I really love all of Little Sunshine Design's hair pieces, because there is something to go with EVERYTHING!  Her pieces range fron dainty to attention grabbing, and all look to be made with care!

Look at some of these pieces on her site!

Custom Fingerless Gloves by Mott Crochet GIfts!

I love the winter. I love the smell of cold weather, the logs on the fire, the hot cocoa with family, and the stars shining through the bare trees.

What I DON'T like however, is how freezing cold I always stay throughout the winter!

Thanks to Jen at Mott Chrochet Gifts, my hands are toasty warm this season!

She sent me these amazingly beautiful fingerless gloves.

They are black (which matches positively EVERYTHING in my closet!), and they are not scratchy, but just snuggly! I get comments and compliments on them everywhere I go! I went Christmas shopping this year for my mother and father in Eddie Bauer. I bought my mother some of these exact gloves for $30, but Mott Crochet sells them for a fraction of that!

Stop by her shop and check it out! She sells out of her inventory instantly, so you might have to go into the SOLD items to view her work!

She is offering one reader of Mingle Over Mocha a $10 gift certificate to her store! You will soon be styling in your OWN fingerless gloves!

Norah Jones - ...Featuring

I am a HUGE fan of Norah Jones. And when I heard that One2One Network was offering me a chance to review her music, I was SO excited! She has that husky, bluesy, smooth voice that I have always loved. Take a listen by clicking below! 






Another awesome thing about this album is that she is only "featured" in all the songs!  She is performing with many other artists, and there is not one song on this album that is like another.  Some of them completely shocked me, for example, her duet with Willie Nelson in "Baby It's Cold Outside!"  What a strange combination- Norah and Willie, and what a strange song to imagine them singing together- but it was FABULOUS!

The album "Featuring Norah Jones" was released to the public November 17th, and if you haven't bought it yet, this would make a wonderful addition to your music collection!
See below for the list of songs and artists in this new album.



1. Love Me - The Little Willies
2. Virginia Moon - Foo Fighters featuring Norah Jones
3. Turn Them - Sean Bones featuring Norah Jones
4. Baby It's Cold Outside - Willie Nelson featuring Norah Jones
5. Bull Rider - Norah Jones and Sasha Dobson
6. Ruler Of My Heart - Dirty Dozen Brass Band featuring Norah Jones
7. The Best Part - El Madmo
8. Take Off Your Cool - Outkast featuring Norah Jones
9. Life Is Better - Q-Tip featuring Norah Jones
10. Soon The New Day - Talib Kweli featuring Norah Jones
11. Little Lou, Prophet Jack, Ugly John - Belle & Sebastian featuring Norah Jones
12. Here We Go Again - Ray Charles featuring Norah Jones
13. Loretta - Norah Jones featuring Gillian Welch and David Rawlings
14. Dear John - Ryan Adams featuring Norah Jones
15. Creepin' In - Norah Jones featuring Dolly Parton
16. Court & Spark - Herbie Hancock featuring Norah Jones
17. More Than This - Charlie Hunter featuring Norah Jones
18. Blue Bayou - Norah Jones featuring M. Ward

Thank you to One2One Network for offering me this album for my review. I was in no way compensated for this review, and the opinions expressed above are solely my own.

The Butterfly Effect by Andy Andrews

The Butterfly Effect by Andy Andrews



"The decisions you make and the way you treat others have more impact than you may ever realize.


Speaker and New York Times best-selling author Andy Andrews shares a compelling and powerful story about a decision one man made over a hundred years ago, and the ripple effect it’s had on us individually, and nationwide, today. It’s a story that will inspire courage and wisdom in the decisions we make, as well as affect the way we treat others through our lifetime. Andrews speaks over 100 times a year, and The Butterfly Effect is his #1 most requested story.

Also included with the purchase of the book is a link to view a 9-minute message of Andrews telling The Butterfly Effect story to a live audience."

Book Sneeze offered me a copy of "The Butterfly Effect" by Andy Andrews as a review.

Remember, don't judge a book by its cover... or in this case, its size.  The book is tiny, and is a very quick read.  But it is content that matters!


Andy shares some emotional stories or action and effect in this book.  The stories tug at your heart, and really make you think.  What you do absolutely matters.  Little changes you make in your life absolutely effect others!  That person you see each day could end up being an important part of your life... maybe that person sitting next to you on the plane plays an integral part in your destiny!

Actions matter.  Maybe this review was sent to you because you need to read this book!
