Mathletes (NachoMamaTees Product Review & Giveaway) (ENDED)

Two days ago I did my product review on CrazyDogsTShirt and now it's my turn to do my newest review on NachoMamaTees. Last year i did a review post for them and now I got another opportunity to work with them again.

"Even if vintage t-shirts and custom shirts aren't on your list today, we have something for everyone." 

NachoMamaTees has a huge selection of t-shirt and I love them all... 
 I am a huge fan of unique items and also t-shirts! 
There are some shirts at Nacho Mama Tees that I won't wear, 
 there are still a lot of shirts that I would love to have! 
Plus they have extremely cute t-shirts which are wearable for everyday uses!  
Also, you can purchase these NachoMamaTees for anywhere from $25 to $6, which is amazing!
Well, this time around for the product review I decided to choose the Mathletes t-shirt.
I just love the Mathletes t-shirt and planning on wearing this t-shirt during my math exams.
Plus, Mathletes t-shirt is really soft and feels extremely comfortable. 
Love the weather this with a white skinny jeans and black ankle boots with the Mathletes t-shirt tucked in slightly.
In the end I am extremely happy with the t-shirt!

DIY: Collar Necklace

Happy Victoria Day to everyone! 
Plus, "Happy Birthday to my sister" too! Hope all of you guys enjoy your day off and spending time with your family or even catch up with some sleep.

Since it's a long weekend, I ended up working on another DIY  project, this DIY  project was actually requested to me by one of my twitter followers. And well, today I finally had the opportunity to show case on how I would make my very own collar necklace. The collar necklace trend start in the fall of 2011 and sadly, I was never a huge fan of the whole concept. Since I felt as it was choking my neck - yes I know it sounds a little childish, but in fact I really did feel that way. Therefore, I did my best to stay way from that trend until today. Finally after a few hours on deciding on how I want it to look, I eventually ended up created a beaded collar necklace. However, I still ain't sure on how I would add this to my daily wardrobe, but I sure I will come up with an stunning look (I would love to hear your suggestion on how to think I should pair this necklace). Well, as always in the collage below, I have included my newest DIY Tutorial  and all the instructions are also included in the collage.


Good Luck with your collar necklace.
Fell free to send me your version of the collar necklace, I would love to see how your version looks!
Well, hope you all enjoyed this DIY Tutorial

Finally as always be creativity to be trendy!

Take Care!

With lots of love,

Hot Flames Featuring Vedette Shapewear

Recently, I received an amazing opportunity to work with Vedette Shapewear to conduct a product review and also a giveaway to three of my subscribers. 

To be frank, I really enjoyed conducting a review with them again. 

Plus, the share my love with the item by Vedette Shapewear, I decided to created a photo collage on how I would wear this out. 

I decided to many this outfit - "HOT FLAMES" since the skirt is rocking hot!  Yes, it particular looks likes flames, but it's just a ombra inspired skirt, which my dad bought for me a few year back from his trip to Sri Lanka. Furthermore, this outfit also includes a vest  (brown vest filled with orange gems, that can't be seen on the photos), this vest just adds a rocker vibe to this girly look. 
Also, to add more rock to the look, I included a pair of brown ankle boots, rather than pair it up with a pair of high heels.

Overall, I love this outfit and it's perfect for warmer weather.

Also, don't forget to enter the two giveaways!


PS. This is not a sponsored post. 
So, I really hope all you enjoyed this post =)
I hope all of you have a fantastic weekend!

It's almost here... and it’s approaching really fast! 
That means all my lovely female readers will be wearing cute and tighter-fitting outfits.

This the perfect time to get yourself some Vedette Shapewear to help you to a flattering body shape you want.

Their designers have developed the most complete line of body shapers, waist cinchers, derriere enhancers, compression garments, and post surgery girdles that provide comfort and support on a daily basis.
They have specific shapewear and support garments created to focus on your problem area.
If you problem area is your waist, check out the line of shapewear they have available to shape and mold your waist so it has that perfect contour.

As I browsed the Vedette website, I was impressed with their extensive line of body shapers, waist cinchers, derriere enhancers, compression garments and post-surgery girdles. As someone who has never tried shapewear, but has always been interested in seeing how I'd like it...I was thrilled when asked if I'd like to review one of their great pieces.

 For a product review, I choose their medium control corset in black.
First of all, when the shapewear arrived, I was excited to try it out.
I was impressed right away with the way it came packaged. I love when companies take the time to package their products with such care.
The shapewear is very high quality. It’s made from a warm fabric that is soft; however it’s still very firm.
It really breathable and it’s perfect for the summer.
Also, they have some cute designs on them.
Overall I've been very impressed.
I am happy to have come across Vedette Shapewear and will definitely be recommending their high quality items to others I know.
Plus, I would definitely do an outfit of the day post on how I would wear this corset in my daily lifestyle (since it was a requested topic in my recently clothing post).

Babyliss Pro Tourmaline Ceramic Curling Iron (1/2 inch) (c/o Flat Iron Experts) Product Review

Flat Iron Experts is one of the best website I came across for online beauty supplies... it sells many items from nail polishes to flat irons. In the past I received an opportunity to work with them to do a product review for their KQC X-Heat Tourmaline Ceramic Flat Iron. And now I have been given another opportunity to work with them again to create another product review. However this time the product is a curler - Babyliss Pro Tourmaline Ceramic Curling Iron (1/2 inch).

So, for review I received the Babyliss Pro Tourmaline Ceramic Curling Iron (1/2 inch)


First of all, this curling iron look like it’s very heavy, however it isn't at all. When I took it out of the box I was glad that it wasn’t. Its only 1.03lbs, so you don’t need to worry about it being heavy. Once you plug this in it heats up quickly, so tons of time to save. I really like the temperature control on this because it pops in and out, so you do not need to worry about accidentally turning it off. The long swivel cord is also awesome. Before I used this on my hair, I blew it out then proceed to curl it. I held the curling iron for about 10-15 seconds, and then slowly released the barrel clip as I was gently pulling down the curling iron releasing it and then finally combed it out. I’m very happy with the results I got with the Babyliss Pro Tourmaline Ceramic Curling Iron! So, if you are looking for a great curling iron, I highly recommend the Babyliss Pro Tourmaline Ceramic Curling Iron.


Here are some specs from the website:
The Babyliss Pro Tourmaline Ceramic Curling Iron is rated #2 on our Best Curling Iron list for one reason alone and it is the price. If price wasn't a factor, this curling iron will for sure be the #1 choice. The Babyliss Tourmaline Ceramic Curling iron emits negative ions and far-infrared heat that brings a number of additional benefits to your hair:

1. Eliminates static electricity
2. Neutralize odors
3. Preserve more moisture within the hair shaft
4. Causes less damage to the hair cuticle

From our expertise and customer reviews, most people are saying that tourmaline curling irons gives longer lasting curls compared to the non-Tourmaline or Ceramic Hot Tools curling irons and other drugstore brands. The Babyliss curling iron comes with 40 adjustable heats setting up to a scorching 428 F perfect for all hair types. Two other great benefits of choosing this curling iron is the 2 year warranty and the fact that this curling iron is Dual Voltage, meaning you can use this curling iron anywhere around the world while you travel. If you want a curling iron that is up to date and wouldn't mind paying a bit extra. This would be your choice. Flat Iron Experts recommend the Babyliss Tourmaline Curling Irons with 100% Confidence.
Buy It:
You can purchase the Babyliss Pro Tourmaline Ceramic Curling Iron here for $84.88
*Flat Iron Experts offers free US/CAN shipping for all orders over $50

Yes or No & DIY: Flower Accents

Yes or No!

Two of the smallest words, in our dictionaries. 

However, both of them hold a huge capability of changing our life pathways. 

In our every day lifestyle, we face questions which depends on a simple, 
yes or no

This answer could change everything. 
"It's just one little word"  
that could change the whole perspective. 

For some reason, as human beings we struggle when it comes to a basic question with a simple answer, 
yes or no

Furthermore, what I found more interesting is that when I was growing up, 
I used to believe that it was only me who struggled. 

However, I am really happy to state the fact that I am not alone and there is a huge group that can agree with my statement. 

Life is just hard and with all the stress, making choices sucks. 
 
Overall, the main conclusion to this topic is that in life some decisions have to be made. 

Whether we like it or not, we have to make the move. 

The move can take us up or even down, 
but it up to us to put a brave face on as we choose to pick the answer, 
yes or no

Since, at the end of the day it's us who faces the rewards or punishment from our choice. 

So, whether it's a yes or no, it's all us who faces it. 

Therefore, think hard and pick a choice that you feel is right. 

Yes or No!


Also, I decided to create a new section for my DIY Projects and here is my first ever "Home Decor"//
Hope you like this section and since it's the first post I made it simple.
Also, everything about this tutorial is shown on the collage itself.

Remember to be trendy and chic!
And rock on!

Take care and have a lovely week!

With love,
Harija Ravi

DIY & Relax

This is a quick post - really quick post. Just a quick recap of what I have been up too. 

For some reason, I feel as if I haven't posted for awhile and the guilt feeling keeps rising each day. So, without anything furthered to do decided to post a little journal of what I have been up too. Also, in addition I added a quick tutorial of "How to make a tank top" - this was a recent readers request.

Since the last blog post, I have been feeling lazy and yes I did say lazy. I have been trying to catching up with some sleep and TV (mainly my baseball games & shows). Other than that nothing else new - really my life have been boring and slowing down. Also, I am working on some new segments for my blog, plus I am trying to get more focused on making some videos for my youtube readers too (maybe more artist videos). If you have any suggestions please be free to send me a message.

Here are some ideas and segments I came up with so far: Style File Fridays (A segment of posts and videos related to Fashion, Beauty Tips & Ideas), Foodie (A segment filled with recipes and food ides - health tips), Creative Projects (A segment filled with my art & crafts projects), My Tips (A segment filled with tips to reuse, recycle & restore - even restyle) and finally most requested Outfits. Furthermore, I will be doing some traveling this summer with my family and might do some vlog posts or even videos. Other than that I will be more broad in my next blog post.

Now down below is the readers requested DIY Tutorial


Hope you all enjoyed this quick and easy DIY Tutorial  

Finally as always be creativity to be trendy!
