I am always very skeptical about companies I've never heard of and I read lots of reviews. I decided to order a few things from this company called Shein. CHEAP prices for sure! The items I ordered arrived within 7 days. Actually they arrived sooner than I expected but I didn't order anything that I needed right away and honestly, I really just wanted to check the company out for myself. Everything came in one package and each item was wrapped separately inside the package. I ordered the anklets for the grandgirls and they were very cute and colorful. They loved them. The clothing I ordered was cute but cheaply made but then again, their stuff is cheap. The material was really thin. The old saying goes "You get what you pay for". However, I honestly love the cute orange summer dress with the fringe. It looked really cute on. It will be perfect for hot days when out and about with cute sandals. The white top will be perfect as part of my workout clothing. The floral print romper was adorable but also cheaply made. I did not like the way it looked on me so gifted it to one of my daughters. For around $32 I got a lot but once again, this company is cheap but for me, I found the clothing pieces to be cheaply made. Will let you know if the clothing falls apart in the wash! LOL! Not so sure I will order clothing again but I will for sure order other things especially the jewelry as I like costume jewelry and so do my grands. I may try a few more things but we shall see.
I also wanted to share a new salt I have been using. I have really enjoyed the better taste that it has compared to regular table salt. With Celtic salt being a stronger taste I use half compared to what I was using with regular table salt. It's truly a better option for those wanting to lower their sodium intake. I am surprised my sodium levels have always been good! (So far) The salt is a grey color as it's unrefined and has not been bleached. It has a lower sodium concentration and higher traces of calcium and magnesium. It also has many more minerals than your regular table salt. Overall, much healthier option than your regular table salt. I ordered from Amazon Prime and I will order again. If you do a health study on Celtic salt you will find so many health benefits. I like to share what I have tested out with my friends.
Another item I ordered from Amazon Prime was these wireless earbuds. I didn't want to spend a lot of money on them as honestly, it's very rare that I use them. However, every now and then I like to sit in our living room and watch a show with sound on my phone while Marty is watching something he likes to watch on television. On occasion I have used them when talking with a friend on my phone to keep my hands free and to also not have to put them on speaker phone for the whole world to hear our conversation. These have worked perfectly for those times and was around $35. Cheap enough and works perfect for my needs.
On another note the littles had a few fun days staying with us. From chocolate chip cookies, new summer anklets, first time of driving papa's 4-wheeler, playing in the back of the truck, helping Nana water the tomatoes, popsicles and lots of hugs we covered a lot of ground in a few days. I am so glad the littles still love to come to our house in the country. At their age they are so easy to entertain but boy do they keep this Nana on the go!I will close today by sharing this:
I wanted to end my post today by sharing these words from Lysa Terkerust. The timing for me was perfect as I have been praying about something for 12 months. During this 12 months the waiting has been almost overwhelming at times but I just kept hearing that sweet voice say to my spirit, "Cindy, be quiet, be still, I've got you and this situation". GOD IS ALWAYS FAITHFUL TO HIS CHILDREN! The answer might come as we've hoped for nor in the timing we wished for but one thing I do know..."HE CAN BE FOUND FAITHFUL EVEN WHEN AREN'T". Giving God the praise today my friends. I can't share anything other than that but will you praise Him with me?
I hope that you have a most wonderful and blessed week and keep on believing in the faithfulness of God.
Hugs and blessings, Cindy
Hi Cindy, I just ordered craft items from that company. The prices are great and I got free shipping for my first order. Thanks for the revue. I just got some standard earbuds for my last trip to Texas. I love to listen while on the plane. I like that sea salt and might have to get it. I think I will order some when I order more ink for my printer. Enjoy you week!♥
ReplyDeleteI am really enjoying using the Celtic Salt. I use Kosher and Himalayan Pink Salt a lot but have really enjoyed the Celtic.
Deletehi Cindy, wow, you got a lot of stuff for $32! I've not heard of Celtic sea salt, I've got to check that out as it sounds wonderful to use a salt that is actually good for you. I've been using kosher salt for years because you get more flavor with less salt. I admire your energy for entertaining your grands! Have a great week and Happy Father's Day to your husband~

Thank you Jenna.
DeleteI love the quote and verse and praise at the end. Will praise and pray with you. I think we all have those things that we ponder and keep in our hearts and between us and God alone, and it's always such a joy when we see those prayers answered in HIS time! Our God is a faithful God, and He knows what is best for each of us, so it takes a lot of faith to places these things in His hands and leave them there and wait on Him to provide/take care of it, whatever needs to be done. I love that you had the girls over and had such a wonderful time together. What a blessing and joy to have that time together. They will always treasure these memories you are making with them. I am not familiar with that company you ordered from, but I had a bad experience once in ordering a dress from a company I didn't know about, and it took MONTHS to arrive on a slow boat from China! It might have been "cheap", but it wasn't worth what I went through waiting for it. I am happy your stuff got there so quickly and hopefully you will get some use out of the outfits you ordered. The dress I ordered ended up lost in my closet because it really didn't fit and was cheaply made and there was no way to return it affordably. I don't remember the name of the company. I was going to take it to the thrift store, but my granddaughter in law to be said she might be able to do something with it so I gave it to her. I hope you have a wonderful rest of your week and summer! I enjoyed your post!
ReplyDeleteThank you sweet Pam.
DeleteI will absolutely praise God with you, Cindy!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the reviews on the items. My daughter and granddaughters have ordered from that company.
I have not heard of Celtic sea salt, but I like the review you did. I use regular, kosher, sea salt and flake salt.
I’m glad you have so much fun with your grands! You and Marty are such great grandparents.
Enjoy your week my lovely friend. God bless you!
Thank you Kitty.
DeleteThanks for the honest Shein reviews, Cindy. I've seen a lot of Shein hauls on YouTube and Instagram, but I gotta save all my money for my teas and teawares. LOL.
ReplyDeleteYes girl, you better save your money for tea hauls! LOL!
DeleteThanking our LORD with you for His faithfulness to you, and to all of us who trust in Him. What you have shared is so true. It's all about trusting Him and how He wants to go about answering our prayers.
ReplyDeleteThanks Barbara.

DeleteWhat a great post with encouragement from scripture and a personal testimony of God's faithfulness.
ReplyDeleteYour grands are growing so fast. They are adorable and it is a blessing to see all of you and hear about the fun you have together. Family is special.
I've been very busy with some huge projects cleaning out in our home. We are still not finished. I have not been as attentive as usual but I can't do it all.
Cindy, I appreciate your sweet comments when I post.

DeleteNow I want some chocolate chip cookies! I'd have fun at the grandparents house too!! I use the same salt and have for years. Love it. Thank you for sharing your honest reviews. It seems similar to my order from Temu. I got airpods for Mother's day and I use them for the same reasons you do! I use corded airbuds for my outdoor walks because I don't want lose the airpods! I hope you're having a wonderful vacation!
ReplyDeleteThanks Heather Lou.
DeleteI'm so thankful your prayer was answered, sweet friend. God surely has His own timetable, but He is never late.
