Orchid Origami Paper E-Z Folding 500 Brightly Colored Sheets #origamipapers


We love to craft and origami is no exception. We started several years ago and love to look online and on youtube for new origami ideas. I love this Orchid Origami paper....the colors are just gorgeous. It comes in 10 beautiful vibrant colors that make it easy to create anything from birds and other creatures to barns or even special objects. Creativity goes beyond just the paper with this brand.

First things first because safety is paramount when we are considering craft supplies in our home. Orchid Origami paper is non-toxic and durable so everyone can get in the paper folding fun. The company suggests age 3 and above for safety's sake. This perfectly sized origami paper is perfect for schools, teachers, or at-home crafting. This brand of origami paper is very easy to fold and create designs easily. I have seen that the right amount of thickness allows you to bend, fold, and manipulate the paper more easily.


We have been making origami for a few years now and have gotten much better at the art. I find that the size of the paper makes a huge difference. At 15cm x 15cm and 80 GSM of thickness, this is the best origami paper for practicing and creating advanced or more intricate designs. Don't worry, it also works great if you are a beginner too. It is best to start with a good quality paper, you can learn faster and it won’t curl at the edges and make you nuts.
This colorful paper lets you built patience and skills. It teaches children and adults about following directions and instills creativity in the mind. It is a wonderful craft to do in a group or as a family. Origami is about having fun, creating something new, and sharing your creations with friends and loved ones. If one of your friends loves frogs, make a few and give them a gift. Everyone is wowed by even simple origami!

Madonna Rebel Heart....album just came out this week and you are going to LOVE it #RebelHeart #O2O

Disclosure: I participated in the Madonna Rebel Heart album review program as a member of One2One Network. I was provided an album to review but all opinions are my own.


Madonna....who doesn't know her at this point? She is just a legend. I remember listening to her music as far back as the '80s and she just made some amazing music and she still is belting it out with an amazing voice. Summers down by the beach with Madonna playing in the background are some of the best memories for me. I have to say I love it when one of the world’s most talented artists like Madonna just shake it up a bit lot and create something totally over the top...because, well, why not? She still looks great and can rock the look. If you haven't heard yet, her 13th studio album Rebel Heart just was released March 10th on Interscope Records.   


Madonna recently was interviewed in Billboard regarding the upcoming album and she said, "Rebel Heart explores two very distinct sides of my personality, the rebellious renegade side of me and the romantic side of me." I was so excited that this new album features collaborations with some of my favorite artists including Nicki Minaj, Kanye West, Nas, Chance the Rapper and even Mike Tyson (!!!)  Rebel Heart was recorded in New York, Los Angeles and London so it has a true international flavor

Even the producers are top notch with some of the best names in the business. Madonna has all the connections and high profile names that worked on the production including of course Madonna as well as Diplo, Kanye West, Billboard, Avicii, DJ Dahi and Blood Diamonds, Ryan Tedder, Toby Gad, and even Ariel Rechtshald. It is no suprise how great this album is and how many tracks just stay with you. Amazing tunes...ones I really like are Illuminati and Hold Tight. They both resonated with me and really grabbed me. She still has it how many years later....unbelievable. Check it out and let me know what you think.

evian® Spray is the time tested beauty secret of the runway + agiveaway #evianspray @brandbacker

Disclosure: This post is powered by Brandbacker.

I remember using evian ®Natural Mineral Water years ago as a professional brand new to the workforce. It really helped me look and feel more sophisticated and professional.  evian is a classic beauty secret that comes all the way from the French Alps. evian actually starts as rain and snow high atop the French Alps after which it filters for over 15 years through glacial rock and sand to a deep underground catchment just outside the town of Evian-Les-Bains, France. Unbelievable but true that the water contained in the spray is tested 300 times per day to insure quality and the consistent unique mineral content. I love that it is guaranteed to be the same every single time. No other water has the same mineral content as evian.

I love the feel of my skin when I spray my evian. The exquisitely fine mist produced by evian® Brumisateur® penetrates and rehydrates the upper layers of the skin naturally. Consider the source of the evian water.  It has a unique mineral balance along with exceptional purity which is perfect for sensitive, dry, normal or oily skin. It leaves skin feeling refreshed and looking radiant. This is my go-to travel beauty secret. The leak-proof canister is the ideal product to take on any trip. 

A bit of fascinating history with evian that I didn't know. evian Facial Spray was originally introduced in France in 1962 at the request of doctors for use on burn patients. It was the first facial water spray in France and was introduced as the first facial spray in the United States in 1978. I remember that!  I feel like everyone knows the evian brand name but I wasn't aware The Wilkes Group has been the exclusive worldwide distributor for 36 years. Evian is the only facial spray to be carried by many prestige retail stores and websites including Nordstrom and Sephora. If you have vacationed recently, you may have seen or restocked your supply at one of the many luxury resorts and hotels such as Four Seasons that also carry evian.

I like that I can feel confident using evian anywhere on my face or body. The French Government has extremely stringent standards for approving mineral waters as suitable to drink. Evian Facial Spray is the only mineral water spray in the USA to contain such a water and the only one with a companion drinkable bottled mineral water. The Evian brand can be found now in over 120 countries worldwide.

Evian® is giving away 20 two 5 oz Facial Sprays. Winners will be chosen at random. You can enter the giveaway hosted by The Wilkes Group here.
