What started out as a device to communicate, the cell phone has evolved over the years and has become a style statement for its users. Every few months, one comes across the most high-tech and sleekest cell phones in the market but not everybody can afford to keep up with changing trends. Consumers are discovering innovative and fashionable ways to customize their cell phones with creative accessories. Gone are the days of those ugly big black cases that protected the cell phone but made it look bulkier than usual. From “skins” and faceplate designs to charms and Swarovski Crystals, you can find as many accessories for your mobile phone as you will find for yourself.

However, until now, cell phone accessories were designed as separate fashion pieces and not designed to actually function as a part of your everyday wardrobe. To solve this fashion faux pas, designer, Andrea Behar created Cellies™ a stylish stretch cuff bracelet that easily slips on your wrist that allows cell phone users to conveniently wear their phones, and not just carry them.

What are Cellies™?

Made from stretch power mesh, Cellies™ are a stylish solution designed to hold all wireless devices including cell phones, iPhones and Blackberries. Seamlessly fusing function and fashion, a convenient hands-free compartment securely holds your phone in place. The strong but transparent material provides viewers with touchable and visible access to their phones.

Cellies™ allow your hands to be completely free to drive safely, to work the office or house, be active, eat, workout, play sports – anything that you couldn’t do before while using your cell phone. Cellies™ are great for runners, snowboarders, cyclists, roller bladers, and people on the go. Cellies™ are for men, women, teens and sports enthusiasts. It allows them to carry their cell phone safely and securely without having to attach it to their belt or carry it in their pocket. Cellies™ also offer wearers instant access to their phones, credit cards, identification, business cards or even lip gloss without having to search through their handbag.

BUY IT : Retailing at only $35, Cellies are these To Die For gift for the young and trendy (and also the young at heart). There’s no denying that studs are a must-have this season. They add instant edge to everything from handbags to shoes. Urban-glam with Cellies™ allover studded detailing, facetted stones and grommet cuffs by Andrea Behar.

4. KYMARO GLAMOUR EYES Eyelash Extension Kit – The eyelash extension craze actually started in Asia, its sweeping through Europe, and has just taken the USA by storm. Most of your favorite movie stars are already wearing them. But they are getting their eyelash extensions applied at a salon which can cost you over $500 and the whole process can take up to 2 hours. This can be a big hassle to fit these visits into your already busy schedule and lets not forget that it costs a small fortune. But don’t worry because Kymaro’s eyelash extensions are handmade and are professional quality and the cost of the whole kit is just a fraction of the price when applied at a salon!

It was so appropriate to receive this book, “Snow Valley Heroes : A Christmas Tale” by Robert J. McCarty, at this time, seeing that Christmas is so near.  It is the third volume in the Planet of the Dog Series, where it tells the stories of how dogs first arrived at Planet Earth and teaches humans about loyalty, love and peace.

In the first volume, the story is about how these wonderful dogs save the hard-working farmers of Green Valley, as they were going to be invaded by the Stone City Warriors. Meanwhile, in the second volume, more dogs arrive to free the kidnapped children and prevent war between the Stone City Warriors and Black Hawk Tribes.

This being the third book in the series, it tells the reader about how the dogs saved Christmas in the Snow Valley, where Santa, Mrs. Claus, elves and a whole community, living in Tundra Town, were living peacefully. However, living across Santa, was King of the North, a bitter and angry man who was banished to the Ice Castle, together with his Royal Guards for their cruelty.

On another planet, the Planet of the Dogs, lived the Snow Valley Dogs, who had been summoned to Planet Earth, as ‘Miss Merrie’, queen of the dogs, had a terrible dream that the King of the North was going to avenge his banishment and stop Christmas from happening.

As the story progresses, terrible things start happening to Santa and the town folk, creating confusion and sadness. The most important animals of Christmas, the reindeers have been kidnapped by the Royal Guards and it seemed like Christmas was never going to happen!

Thankfully, the dogs found a way to create allies with the children of the Ice Castle’s servants, and with a determination, freed the reindeers. However, we all know the story doesn’t end just like that. What happens to the King of the North? Does he stop there? How much more evil can he do?

About the author, Robert J. McCarty and illustrator, Stella Mustanoja McCarty:

Robert McCarty is a producer/writer/director of films and videos on subjects ranging from teenage lifestyles to race relations. His short film, Rooftops Of New York, was nominated for an Academy Award. He is a former adjunct instructor at Teacher’s College, Columbia University and at the School Of Visual Arts, New York City. Planet Of The Dogs was inspired by the many stories made up for his four children and five grandchildren.

Stella Mustanoja McCarty, who teaches painting and drawing at the Vantaa, Finland, Art School, illustrated the book. She graduated as a painting major  from the Art Academy in Helsinki and also holds degrees from the University of Helsinki in Education and Sociology and Social Policy.

Buy It! : I personally enjoyed reading this book very  much. I found Mr. McCarty’s story-telling to be absorbing and a real page turner. The charcoal illustrations by Stella Mustanoja McCarty, depicts some of the scenes from the story, which added to the vividness of each chapter. My favourite dog, would be Big Tok, as he reminds me very much of an Alsatian, which was very protective of me, when I was a little girl. My 8 year old son, enjoyed the book tremendously, as it has it’s heroes and baddies and that at the end of the day, he learns that negative acts do hurt people’s feelings. Although it had more words than pictures (he’d rather read comics), he was very amazed that he followed through each chapter and finished it.  This is a great Xmas gift for any boy or girl, who loves reading. Definitely a huge bonus for kids who are dog lovers!

You can purchase all three volumes of books and other apparels (for humans and dogs!), online.

I’ve been a mom for just over 8 years and in that time there is one unrelenting fact that has forced me to pay close attention to the little details of our everyday experiences.  That fact reminds me daily that I will not have these moments again and that I should treasure them, the good, the bad, and the not so pretty.  That fact, the one that hovers over my shoulder daily, is that time does not stand still- in fact it moves so much faster that one could even imagine.  I once had a very wise lady tell me the days move so slowly but the years fly by-  that is so much more true than I could ever have imagined as a young mother.

So- in response to that daunting fact, Growth Chart Art has provided a beautiful way for families to track those important milestones that continue to come at faster and faster rates everyday.  Their amazing selection of growth charts are true to the label “Art” and are beautiful charts that will help to mark the days and years that parents will truly treasure in years to come.

About Growth Chart Art:

We were recently sent a beautiful Sunflower Growth Chart to try out with my kiddos and I have to say I was truly amazed at the beautiful piece of art that arrived in the mail.  It truly is a piece of artwork and I had such a hard time deciding where to actually place it in our home.  Before it arrived, I thought I wanted to put it on the wall in my daughter’s room However, when it actually arrived, I decided it needed a more prominent placement in our home and, it is now located in our main hallway for all to enjoy.

It was super easy to put up and the directions for including the measurements were super easy to follow.  The only problem we have encountered is my children wanting to re-measure themselves EVERYDAY!!  They are convinced they have grown inches in a day and are constantly measuring each other to see who’s grown the most.  An added bonus for us are children who are much more eager to eat their vegetables- trying to “grow faster”.  What a great problem to have!!

Buy It!: You can purchase your own Growth Chart Art piece on their website. Go check out their amazing selection and pick one out for the little or not so little ones in your life.

Win It!: Growth Chart Art has generously donated  a Growth Chart of your choice to one of our lucky readers.  To enter:

• One Mandatory Entry- Go to Growth Chart Art and pick out your favorite growth chart.  Come back and leave us a comment telling us which one you would pick
• Two Additional Entries- Follow us on twitter and tweet this giveaway “Win a gorgeous Growth Chart Art at parentreviewers.com“.  Leave us an additional comment including your twitter id and the tweet url.
• Two Additional Entries- Share this on Facebook!  Leave us an additional comment including your FB id.
• Three Additional Entries- Tell us what is your favorite product that we have reviewed this year.  Leave us a comment telling us what great products are on your little ones Christmas list this year.
• Giveaway is open to US shipping addresses only.
• Giveaway ends Dec 15th, 2010 and a winner will be picked using Random.org. We will not be emailing winners, so please make sure you subscribe to our feed or check back here for the winner announcement post.
