In sunny So Cal, it doesn’t matter the season, sunglasses are a must! I love these Solize Sunglasses by Del Sol that change color in the sun! They are so very cool, fashionable and work great! I love that they have 100% UVA/UVB blocking & protection and they are durable and lightweight! But, my favorite thing is that they are two colors in one. I received the Solize Sunglasses – Don’t Worry Baby – Pearl to Purple to try out for myself and I love them! They have quickly become my favorite sunglasses! Del Sol really has a wide variety to choose from for men, women and even children. They would make a great holiday gift suggestion for everyone on your shopping list this holiday season!

Thanksgiving is almost here and we all know that means that Christmas will soon be here! Almost time to send out Holiday  and Christmas Cards! Shutterfly is my favorite to-go-to website for cards because they have so many choices! I had the opportunity to receive Christmas cards from Shutterfly and am thrilled with how they came out! I am soo thrilled that I do not want to post a picture of one here because I know some of my family and friends read my website! So, the above are three of my favorites this season!  I love how you can personalize them so easily and that there are so many choices. There really are so many choices that it is difficult to choose but after choosing the theme, it is so easy to add photos and your text.

I had so much designing our card with all the different photos. (Guess that narrows down the choices..only two of the above have that option). I even included our pets!
