Thursday, January 14th, 2010

So why not order one of these cute, stylish condom cases to make sure you are always ready for whatever “pops” up!

They come in the storybook box, and are perfect for gift giving!

That is not all though! They have a removable plastic insert that can easily turn these flirty cases into perfectly divided pill cases. You can store your vitamins in them, or at the minimum you can tell anyone who asks that they are for your vitamins!

This one is Meg.. she is talented, smart,and funny! But, hey she can’t always be good! This one says “Oops..I forgot to be good”

Jewelry Trends at The Bling Thing Stretch Rings

Sunday, November 8th, 2009

One of the hottest new trends in fun bling jewelry is the Stretch Ring. Stretch rings have become one of the hottest selling pieces in our store The Bling Thing .People love the versatility of the sizing, different styles, and most importantly the inexpensive pricing.

First of all, the rings come in so many different styles, you will certainly find one you like!

The styles i have seen range from the stackable rhinestone ring, that can be stacked one on top of another to create a wider ring, to the flower petal rings,to peace sign rings!Stretch ringThese make great Christmas gifts because not only do they not need to be sized, they are also cheap!

Because they stretch,they will fit almost anybody. Retailers don’t have to stock a bunch of sizes.
Also, because the ring stretches, anyone with swelling problems (pregnant, arthritis, too much salt at lunch,etc), can wear the ring comfortably!petal ring
Finally, while i am sure you can find more expensive stretch rings, we have made a conscious effort to stock only stretch rings ranging in prices from $4- $25. We also have matching bracelets for many of these rings.
Stop by The Bling Thing, We are located at 131 E.Michigan Ave, in Saline ,Mi. We’ll roll out the red carpet!

Follow up on the Instyler

Wednesday, June 3rd, 2009

So, we have heard from a ton of friends regarding our posts about the http://www.getinstyler.com/.

This is a question we got regarding the shine spray. If anyone has any advice for this gal on how to use it,please leave a comment for us.

Ok…we got our Instylers last week.  So far I like it, but yesterday I tried the shine spray for the first time.  It’s like pure oil?  I dried my hair, then spritzed it on a bit…maybe too much.  I didn’t get any shine, but did get a lot of steam when I then used the instyler.Help!    LOL

How do you get such bouncing and behaving hair?

Tuesday, May 12th, 2009

My good friend MP turned me onto the coolest tool for getting fuller and bouncier hair. Now those who know me know that i love me some big hair. picture of me

What you don’t know is that i am using the fabulous new Instyler to get this fuller look.

According to the Instyler website, the Instyler is not a brush, it’s not a flat iron, it’s not a curling iron. It is a rotating hot iron!

pic of InstylerThis product can be used to straighten hair, deliver lift, style,volume, and give limp, lifeless hair amazing body and style!

We bought one, and honestly we had no idea how to use it at first. However, when i went to the Instyler website they have great video demonstrations on how to use it.

I bought mine on ebay from a seller named offbetti.She gave us fast good service,and the price was right.

This link will take you to her listings if you want to order one!Combination Flat Iron & Curling Iron

We would love to hear any comments on the instyler if you have used it, or if you have some before or after pictures i am sure our suscribers would enjoy them!

Pandora Bracelets the new Addiction

Wednesday, April 1st, 2009

So, for the last 2 years the hottest trend around the Brandazzo Family is the Pandora charm bracelet.

This bracelet works like this.Each bracelet is divided into three sections by small threads. Each bead is equipped with interior threads, which allows you to screw individual beads onto any bracelet segment in the order you want. The beads can move back and forth and are very eye catching.

They start with the actual bracelet. Like this silver one found inexpensively on ebay.
Starter Bracelet
Not to give you to many choices but you can also get a lobster claw closure.

The beauty of the bracelet is that you can get the silver which is less expensive, or you can get a gold clasp,which is a  little more expensive,all the way up to solid gold which is very expensive.

After you get your bracelet, you fill it with whatever you fancy!

Some people like to use murano glass.

Baby Diva has an animal theme for her bracelet,and she puts murano glass,and silver animal charms on it.

Once you have your glass or not,you can add either silver or gold charms.

I actually have this purse charm on my bracelet, and lots of other fun ones including some gems.

You can separate your bracelet into sections with clips,and add other things like safety clasps.
We buy most of our charms at Lewis Jewelers here in Ann Arbor. What you see on their website is available for purchase.

The gift options with Pandora are endless! We gave Grandma P a bracelet one year and she was able to call Lewis Jewelers and order charms for it, with the gift certificate we gave her.

So, add this to the gift basket! Your friends and family will love it!
