Calinana Jewelry Review


Calinana Earrings



This review is for a beautiful set of hand crafted earrings. Their jewelry is made in the USA.



These earrings are made with crystals wrapped in Swarovski 14k gold wire. The color is amber but it also comes in Olive, Fuchsia, Aqua, and Green. They are very light and I love how they hang. Also no backs to hurt your ears.

~Here is a little bit about the company~

Calinana was born from the idea that we could take nature’s most basic elements and transform them into stylish pieces that let every woman express her inner self.

Our handcrafted necklaces, bracelets and earrings bring together rich leathers and fine metals with a vibrant array of Swarovski crystals, semi-precious stones, pearls and charms to create a fun and fashionable collection for everyday and those special nights out. Each gold and silver-plated and filled piece is lightweight and comfortable to wear, yet makes a bold statement about how undeniably fashionable you are.

We know that every woman is unique. That’s why we’ve made many of our pieces customizable, so you can choose the colors and elements that are just right for you.

here are a few of my other favorites from their website




Check out the Calinana website.

Scentsy Review for Hannah

Scentsy Review by Midwest Mamas Reviews @mwmamasreviews #holidaygiftguide
Recently I had the pleasure to review two Scentsy bars. One was Mandarin Moon and the other was Peppermint Dreams. 

I love that you only have to use one little block from the bar. That is plenty to get enough scent that is not over powering. Also it lasted over a week even using it almost all day. I have a retired full size warmer and a plug in warmer. The retired warmer is shown below. When my family walked in they all thought I was baking something :) Gotta LOVE it!

I love that it only takes a 25 watt light bulb to melt the wickless wax. It gets warm but does not get hot. You can even stick your finger in it. This makes it more safe to have around children and pets.  Also there are so many scents to choose from. Floral scents, fruity scents, coffee scents, chocolate scents..you name it and they pretty much have it. Also the cost is low with great value. A full size warmer is $30 and the bars are only $5 each. These would make perfect hostess gifts, housewarming gifts, or Christmas gifts. They also have items such as hand soaps, perfumes, and dryer scent disks.

If you are interested in looking  at the catalog, check it out at Hannah's Scentsy Page or email Hannah at hannah@goff.cc

Don't forget you can always host online parties and join Hannah's Scentsy Facebook Group
