Websites that I want to share with you

I think you can learn a lot about someone by what kind of websites they frequent.

That means, you're about to learn a lot about me : )

I thought I would share some websites that I like, that you might enjoy yourself.  If not, you can always make fun of me for liking the ones I've decided to share (me, sticking my tongue out).

I'll try to keep them in some sort of order or category.

Halloween stuff:

(You KNOW I love Halloween don't you?)

pumpkinrot.blogspot.com
This person knows Halloween well.  They have a lot of retail store posts with pictures, stories of scary stuff, inspirational images, and movie reviews.  It's one I just recently started visiting.

halloweenforum.com
A great place to share with other Halloweenies.  Projects, crafts, movies, ideas, ways to build props, or just looking to talk about spooky stuff, this is the site to do it.

grandinroad.com
I love most of the items they sell for Halloween decorations.  The only problem I have with them is the quality.  It's really hit or miss with them.  If you don't buy anything electric, or requiring batteries you're better off.  I bought a 5 foot tall female mummy from them and had a hell of a time putting the "2 piece easy assembly" thing together.  Be careful with purchasing things from them.


Crafts stuff:

entertainexchange.blogspot.com
This place happens to have a whole bunch of do it yourself crafts that can be used for holiday parties and decorations.  I noticed it because of the Halloween crafts, but it's good for much more than that.

save-on-crafts.com
This is a great place if you're looking to host a party and need some centerpiece ideas, candle holders, or cool things like submersible LED lights.  They have a huge selection of craft things like fake flowers, containers, lights, and other decorative things.  One of my favorites!


Jewelry stuff:

shopbellabeach.com
Can not be beat for the latest Juicy Couture charms.  Somehow, they have all the latest up before even Juicy's own website.

carolee.com
I reviewed this store in detail in an earlier post, but I can't say enough about it.  Beautiful, quality jewelry that will last for years.  This is mostly costume or fashion jewelry and it's pricey, but it's worth it.  Plus they offer sales here and there to look for.

juicycouture.com
Just for the charms they sell.  I'm nuts about these things and this website is one of the best places to look for authentic charms.  There are a lot of impostors out there, but this is the original.

Candle/Bath stuff:

Surroundings.com
Wow, this place is great if you want some ideas for candle centerpieces.  They have so many photos of the stuff they sell, you'd have to hate candles to hate this site.  Beautiful creations of water, glass, candlelight, and a ton of other accessories to make your party or wedding stand out.  I love looking at this site to spur on my creativity and they always have a monthly special.

Bathandbodyworks.com
Of course this place makes me want to shower 3 times a day with all of the wonderful scented lotions and soaps they sell, but they have branched out into a lot more.  Little fuzzy, soft slippers, facial products, and candles too, this place is one of my favorites to feel clean and refreshed.

Clothing/Shoe stuff:

Chicos.com
This store sells sophisticated, professional wear that looks great on any woman.  Some of their clothes have a decidedly worldly look (like animal prints, or exotic patterns) but they also have unique, gorgeous pieces that are simple and stunning.  They are pricey, but do have a rewards card program and a lot of sales.  Don't forget to check out the jackets, and jewelry as well.

Soma.com
A sister store to Chico's, they sell intimates mostly, but also dabble in some lounge wear and casual stuff.  I can't get enough of this store.  They sell the best bras and panties anywhere, trumping my previous love of Victoria's Secret.  Well made, high quality, and comfortable, these pieces will last you a long time and you won't regret buying them.  They have a rewards card that works for both Chico's and Soma for discounts and they have price adjustments too.  Great customer service has made this company the place for me to go to spend money.

Zappos.com
Oh my gosh!  This place rocks.  They sell just about everything apparel and offer free shipping from your house in case you need to return something.  They have great customer service and awesome products.  I have never been disappointed in the shoes I've bought from them.  I only wish I had more money to spend on their boots!
