Recently I had the opportunity to try out a fantastic line of hair products.  The brand is Shielo, and they were started in 2001 in NYC for salons that were on the cutting edge of the new volumizing and fortifying hair technologies.  In 2007, Shielo started selling their products to consumers, lucky for us! 

Shielo is proud to stand behind their commitment to quality and sustainability.  They ensure that at least 65% of their raw ingredients come from natural resources, and they do not test on animals nor do they ever source ingredients from any plant that is endangered.

I chose the Hydrate shampoo and conditioner, because my hair gets brittle and dry in the winter months.  The scent is light and fragrant, but not overbearing.  The shampoo lathers up beautifully.   The conditioner is lightweight and non greasy.  Once I dried my hair, I was astonished at how healthy and moisturized it felt!  This shampoo is truly salon quality. 

Shielo also offers shampoos specifically for volume, color protect, anti-aging and antioxidant.  Along with the shampoos are a full line of hair styling products from leave in protectants to styling cream and hair sprays. They also have a whole section dedicated to education. Learn how to achieve the perfect Shielo blowout or soft and sexy waves.

All products can be purchased on their website, just in time for those holiday parties!

I have to say that Fred Flare is pretty darn cool. In fact, I want to marry Fred and have lots and lots of little Fred babies.

I’m on their mailing list and got an email about free shipping with NO minimum  purchase with code: hearts last week and decided to take advantage of a gift card I received in thanks for being an A-Lister on Kaboodle.

They have some amazing stuff on Fred Flare. I chose the smiley face cup and peace sign necklace. And not 10 minutes after I checked out I received an email that my purchase had already been sent off to ship. WOW!

Even more wow? I opened my door the next morning and it was sitting in my doorway. Congratulations Fred Flare for exceeding my expectations for prompt service.

They now top our list of stores with excellent customer service!

I’m a HUGE fan of Etsy.com and I actually prefer to buy handmade gifts over manufactured anyway. I’m all for supporting the little guys. I’m sure I’ve mentioned before that I can’t visit Etsy.com without spending at least an hour there searching anything and everything and adding six zillion and one more items to my favorites list.

I stopped by Etsy yesterday and got lots of great gift ideas. Here’s a smattering of items from some of my favorite Etsy gals. Head on over and show ‘em some love.

My dear friend (and fellow shopping expert) Magno launched her Etsy shop over a hear and a half ago and she just keeps out-doing herself. My favorite this season? Her Fine Silver and Wool Felt Acorn Pendant. How did she know I was nuts for acorns?! Magno has lots of goodies on her site that you will adore. Trust me on this one. Last I heard she was offering 25% off and FREE SHIPPING. Head on over and see if you can still get in on that deal.

My favorite necklace in the whole wide world (for this week, anyway ), the Bright Cute as a Button Sterling Silver Necklace, made by Luxe Deluxe who ships from Edinburgh! Firmly establishing my stance that everything wonderful comes from Scotland. It was a gift to myself and that makes me happy. I get loads of compliments on it and it makes a great gift. Check out the other greatness on Luxe Deluxe’s Etsy Site – you’re sure to find something wonderful! FREE SHIPPING on $75+

I just discovered this last shop yesterday and as soon as my order was paid for, she sent me a lovely personal email. That’s the kind of stuff i like from Etsy. The personal touch. This here Owly-flavored coffee sleeve is on my wishlist for sure. Nope, I didn’t pick it up for myself (we have a strict no shopping for yourself during the holidays policy in this family), I did get another one, but I can’t share it because that would ruin the surprise. Coffee sleeves are a great idea (I’m surprised Starbucks doesn’t sell ‘em) and one simple thing that you can do to save a tree (and your hands from hot coffee!). There are tons of colors. Get three for the people on your wishlist and get the 4th FREE!

Check out the latest look from Lancôme – Maharani Jewels. 

Head on over to Karmaloop.com — THE place to go for name brand underground streetwear & fashion — and take advantage of the great deals to be had on some fabulous items.

My pick? This fab messenger by tokidoki.
