Sand Cloud VIP Box Review - #savethefishies

So lately I've been engaging in hour long instagram browsing sessions.  During these times there are two online stores that I continuously see ads about - Sand Cloud.  Normally, I get mildly annoyed with seeing the same ads over and over for products I can't afford so I never really looking into it much but recently, I bought a couple things because I'll be honest, they do have super cute stuff.  I thought I would do a review of the products today and share some discount codes(!!) with y'all.

Let's talk Sand cloud.
Sand cloud is a company that I think originally started making turkish-style (the really thin-easily traveled with) towels.  Now they have tshirts, hoodies, long sleeved shirts, water bottles, and some jewelry items.  They focus on feminine and boho designs usually featuring at least one of three themes - tie-dye, zen-tangle, and/or sea life,





The best part about Sandcloud is 10% of every purchased is donated to charities that help marine conservation. #SaveTheFishies is their whole thing.  Charities donated to include Marine Conversation Institute, Surfrider Foundation, Pacific Marine Mammal Center, and more.  Shirts ranged from $28 to $48, Towels are around $50 but you can get an XL version for more. They have a glass water bottle with a cute wooden screw top that is on sale for $28. It's one of their best selling items. They are always offering sales of some amount or another and you can find discount codes everywhere (including one in this blog!). They also have a rewards program where you earn points per dollar spent and can cash them in on future purchases. You can also rack up points by sharing on facebook and following them on instagram. It's super easy to earn $5 towards a purchase.

Recently, they launched a VIP box which I decided to try out. The VIP box is a monthly shipment that retails for $30. Downside to that price is you aren't able to use your reward points or discount codes. It's still a great deal. It comes with a long sleeved shirt (although it might switch to tshirts as summer is coming) and a pair of socks.  Some claimed theirs came with a keychain or button pin but mine did not. I did however receive a few cute promo stickers. Here's what I got:

March's theme was a polar bear. I wasn't honestly stoked about this when I heard as I recently moved to Savannah and it's not quite polar bear season well...ever. However, I actually loved this design as soon as I saw it. The sunset colors are gorgeous and it doesn't feel too winter-y. If you've had long sleeved shirts (or hoodies) that are unisex adult sizes and are usually sold with like school emblems or something. This shirt fits like those but is an ever-so-slightly thinner material. It features the pretty design on the back and the circular sand cloud logo on the front. The socks are thick like well-made thick not make-your-feet-sweat thick and they actually fit me a lot better than other tube socks do.  I wear a size 11. I did see some people with like size 7 and 8 feet complaining that they were a tad big on them, so keep that in mind if that's something you're picky about.

For transparency, let me just say that I am an affiliate, and I do get points/commission if you buy from their site using my links or codes or whatever. BUT. I literally am obsessed with this site and everything on it. I'm a member of the private rep group and this company is super involved with keeping customers and reps up to date on launches, constantly coming up with new products, and educating/facilitating things like beach cleanups. It's seriously the coolest thing to see. I've never been a part of such a positive community.  They are based in CA which tragic because I would definitely like to get more involved with the company if they were in the southeast. Either way, I've already been inspired to do my own mini-beach cleanup and I'm becoming more aware of the single-use items I use that I could do away with (#saynotostraws).

You don't just have to live on the beach to buy things from here. But loving animals is recommended. If you're done ready and ready to check out their awesome merch you can CLICK HERE to go to their website.  And if you'd like to save %15 off your purchase, use the code JAMIEADA15

Leave a comment with your an item on your sandcloud wishlist!
Curious as to what's on mine? - this shirt is number one, the water bottle linked above, this awesome aztec blanket, and the silver whale tale ring. And probably a lot more tbh. xD

P.S. I live 20 minutes from the beach now?! so stay tuned for more beachy posts. :)


How to Choose Hair Extensions

Thinking about hair extensions? There are so many things to considering when shopping for hair extensions - synthetic or natural? Are they for special occasion or long term? In this post, we'll talk about how to choose the right kind of extension for you and how to do so on a budget.

Start looking at what you would like to achieve using extensions. Are you currently searching to improve the level of your natural hair? Would you like to increase the length of your hair? Are you looking to have longer, thicker hair for a special event? Are you currently searching for the way to enhance your hairs natural appearance while it grows out? Once you've made the decision to purchase extensions, figuring out your goal will help you determine the best length and kind of extensions to purchase, making certain you accomplish the outcomes you're wishing for and reducing the chance of disappointment continuing to move forward.

Next think about the texture of your hair. Fine? Course? Straight? Wave? Identify hair texture and type and you can begin searching in the hair extension options open to you. For those who have very fine hair, then clip in extensions probably aren't the best option for you. You'll find with fine hair, micro ring extensions provide you with long-term locks that will actually stay put.

Always match the color of the natural hair where you waill apply the extensions to make sure that regardless of whether you choose clip in, micro ring or weave, they'll match your natural tone seamlessly, giving you the most natural look. The goal of extensions is to look like full, healthy, natural hair and not obvious that you're wearing extensions.

Choose the size of the extensions carefully. It's better to buy extensions that are too long rather than too short. You can always cut your extensions to your desired length.  Remember that the longer you select, the heavier your hair will probably be.  The main difference is when you're selecting weave or micro ring with longer hair, it will pull in your natural hair, where if you would like lengthy hair for a shorter time, consider clip ins that will cause less damage over time.

Only buy hair extensions from the trustworthy supplier that has a great status within the hair extension industry. The organization should stock just the highest quality extensions, providing you with a range of 100 % natural hair or synthetic hair.  Choose natural vs synthetic based on your goals and budget.  If you only want to wear extensions occasionally, then synthetic would be the least expensive option, where long-term solutions along with a more natural finish, natural hair would be the better choice.
