Zuvo Water Review and Giveaway



                                                 Zuvo™ Water





I love feeling like I am giving my family a healthy start with everything from the food we eat to the water we drink. Zuvo Water is helping me do that with clean healthy water and it's five step process using nature's own cleaning process right in my kitchen. A Zuvo Water Filtration system can easily be installed above the counter right to your faucet or under the counter for a space saving idea. It treats non-pathogenic organisms, taste and odor contaminants, reduces aesthetic chlorine, lead, and tiny particulates that can be in your tap water using a UV light.







Countertop                       Under Counter              


What I like about Zuvo Water is how easy it is to install, we installed it under the counter, we have limited counter space in our kitchen so it was great to have that option. Our water tastes crisp and clean with just the run of the filtration system. The boys are trying to sneak under the sink to watch the bubbles as the water filters through!

There are two models to choose from, the Zuvo Water Filtration System - 300 and 100 Series, here is some information about the Series and differences-


There are two different series of the Zuvo Water Filtration System including the 100 and 300 Series.

There are a number of key differences between the two series. The 300 Series systems include both a filter indicator light and buzzer to tell you when to change your filter. This takes the guesswork out of knowing when to change your filter.

Another key difference is that the 300 Series systems come with a high-capacity filter (400 gallon filter life) and the 100 Series systems come with a standard-capacity filter (250 gallon filter life).

The 300 Series systems include a charcoal-colored reservoir, and the 100 Series systems include a clear-colored reservoir.

All Zuvo replacement filters including the standard-capacity, high-capacity and VOC filters are compatible with all Zuvo systems. A standard- or high-capacity filter combined with any Zuvo system reduces the following water contaminants: chlorine taste and odor, lead, cysts (Cryptosporidium and Giardia), tiny particulates and non-pathogenic microorganisms.

Any Zuvo system combined with a VOC (volatile organic compounds) filter reduces all water contaminants that the standard- and high-capacity filters do plus VOCs (volatile organic compounds). The VOC filter has a filter life of 250 gallons.

An added bonus, if you often buy water bottles this is also a money saving and better for the planet solution. Nice!

World Market HGTV Living Room Makeover Inspiration



When it comes to buying furniture basics, I always like buying pieces that are very neutral in color and style. Pillows, lamps, and decor items can be brought in as accents and to introduce color. With the arrival of the fall season, I know it's it's time to bring in some warm and colorful items to help make the room more cozy and appealing.

I would love to bring in some drapes for the windows and some pretty fall colored pillows and throws. I would also love to get new end tables, and a new area rug. I want everyone to feel welcome and comfortable when they come in the door. I feel like everything is bland and boring and it's time for some new room excitement!



Whenever I walk into a World Market store, I always feel excited to see all the beautiful displays of furniture, dishware, jewelry and so much more. I have loved and shopped at World Market for years.

I would love to shop here to makeover my living room because they have so many pretty things to choose from. From their accent chairs to lamps, and wall mirrors, I always see things I want to buy there and bring home. World Market has everything I need to make my living room look great.

If I win I would love to have the Black Stripe Animal Shaped Dhurrie Rug and Tribal Carved Coffee Table shipped immediately!

Juliska Candle Review and Giveaway




Juliska | Possibly the most beautiful tableware in the world


By Patricia


One of my absolute favorite things in life is a scented candle. As fall nears, I love the cozy feeling of candles lit on the table or desk. 

As a candle lover, I am so pleased to have discovered Juliska Candles. Juliska Candles feel luxuriously beautiful, and are a lovely addition to any home. They are contained in frosted glass with an opulent ceramic top, with a fringe and bead tassel. They are also made with premium quality wax, and have a long burn time of 50 hours.



I have used the Clementine & Cassis scented candle, and I love it. It's luxurious scents are perfectly blended and fill the room with a heavenly fragrance. Juliska Candles also come in Honeysuckle & Jasmine, Fig & Bergamot, and Sea Grass & Neroli scents. I am now a devoted fan of these gorgeous candles, and have put them on my wish list for Christmas and my birthday.

They are perfect gifts for all occasions though, and would be a welcome present in any home. Beautifully packaged, they come in a handsome charcoal grey box that is trimmed with color and sealed with the signature Juliska Medallion.




Juliska also offers many other fine quality items on their website. To see their complete line of products, go to Juliska.com.

We are pleased to be hosting a giveaway of a Juliska Candle to one of our lucky readers.

~ By Patricia ~


I am not a decorator. But in my mind I am quite fabulous at it. I prefer shopping for the home over shopping for clothes and shoes. I love the thrill of the hunt at a flea market or thrift shop in hopes of finding that perfect little treasure for my home. I love the things I have gathered through the years that have special meaning.
I also love the junkie little things that I find at a yard sale.

I love looking at pictures of beautiful rooms, but those rooms are pretty much not going to be something I can duplicate. So I've started searching for inspiration that is more realistic for me, and maybe you too.
These pictures are helping me to get my decorating ideas together.

Pinks, Greens and Blues Oh My!!!


~ By Samantha ~


With summer approaching fast and Father's Day on Sunday I need to start cleaning off our deck and getting it in tip top shape for lots of summer BBQ's and plenty of outdoor entertaining. I love adding color to an outdoor space, it really brightens it up. I am so day dreaming about this colorful deck...I am also digging the pink bench :)
