Novica Giveaway & Review

in Z Archived Closed on 04/11/12

Powered by Mom is happy to bring our readers this wonderful review and giveaway by one of our favorite bloggers

Novica Review and Giveaway hosted by Building Carpenters

REVIEW DONE BY BUILDING CARPENTERS

A Little luxury now and then is not a bad thing.  I am usually a pretty practical shopper, but every once in a while, I like to buy something just because I like it, not because it fulfills some purpose in life.  I was recently introduced to Novica.com.  Novica.com is unlike many of the online stores out there.  It is associated with National Geographic Magazine, so you know the offerings will be worldly and beautiful.  There is something for many price ranges.

Each item comes beautifully packaged with a card explaining from where the hails.  For my review I chose a beautiful Cotton shoulder bag, ‘Hmong Pride’ from Thailand and a wonderful Bamboo chenille scarf, ‘Sapphire Traditions’ scarf from Central America.   Both items were of the highest quality and more beautiful in person than the picture let on.

I chose to review 2 textile pieces, but there is so much more on Novica.  It offers Jewelry, art of all kinds,  and home goods in addition to the beautiful textile pieces.   It is perfect if you are looking for that special gift and offers many gift guides.

Novica is offering the winner a $45 Giftcard!  Enter below to win.

About Powered by Mom

I’m Michelle aka Powered by Mom. I’m married with one daughter, my hubby was my high school sweetheart, our two dogs Nyx and Cleo and our cat Oliver. As you can see we’re a family of animal lovers. We love to travel when we can, try different food and activities all over the world and enjoy being together. My passions are writing, travelling, creating new recipes, encouraging people to adopt not shop and just to enjoy life while we can.

As an animal lover I also volunteer with a rescue organization called Three Little Pitties All Breed Rescue. I'm part of the cat program Three Little Kitties Saving Kitties which tries to save as many cats as possible in Houston, Texas which has a huge overpopulation fo cats and they euthanize far too many cats (and dogs) we want to change that.

Oh yes it's getting to be that time of the year wh Oh yes it's getting to be that time of the year where we'll start spending more time outside enjoying the weather, grilling and the longer days of light and so much more. ☀️⛱ SponsoredI may have gotten a head start as we went camping for the first time this year and this really reminded me of how I love to sit outside and enjoy a good campfire or one in our firepit in our backyard and enjoying the quiet of the evening and stars twinkling in the night sky. 🌠⭐It also brings up memories of good food, grilled food my favourite kind with all those fun and delicious marinades, rubs and sauces to dress up and enhance the flavour of your food. Stay tuned for my upcoming recipe that has a delicious and creamy lemon sauce with chicken cooked in a #castiron pan. 🍋🍳I've teamed up with @ChickenDotCA to give one lucky winner an Outdoor Wood Burning Round Cooking Pit for the month of April.

Happy #Easter everyone. Hubby & I went camping and Happy #Easter everyone. Hubby & I went camping and just got back. We took both of our dogs with us and we think we broke them 😆 #CleoTheDog & #NyxTheDog were both soooo tired by around 8:30pm each night that they would go to our trailer door & look at ys waiting to be let in 😁 while we continued to enjoy our campfire 🔥It was great to unplug there is no cell service let alone internet where we go so we enjoyed the beautiful scenery. We are lucky to live in #BeautifulBC. Swipe to see our 📷  more beautiful nature photos to come soon. 🌿🌼#camping #PNW #nature #naturephotography #pnwwonderland #pnwlife #forest #greatoutdoors #campfire #Chilliwack  #chilliwackbc  #FraserValley
