Win $40 Gift Card for Women's Custom Clothing

On Christmas Day we are giving away a $40 gift card courtesy of eShakti.com. They sell affordable women's custom made clothing in pants, coats, dresses, skirts, shirts and much more. Their size range is great from size 0-26.

I recently was given the opportunity to get a free item on their website for see how their ordering process works. I chose this coat:

Here is my honest review. I thought the coat fit perfectly. The measuring process was easy and in the comment section I was even able to tell them the exact length I wanted. After getting this coat, I probably would have chosen a different style as the collar was a bit large and doesn't lay down quite flat. I will fix this by adding a snap. I like that it is lined inside. The wool is not as heavy as I would have like as I live in Colorado and it's pretty cold here. I also would have liked to have some pockets. I thought the sewing and seaming are high quality. Overall I am pleased and will use this as a dress coat for church and other dressy occasions (when it's not below zero outside). I ordered the custom made coat and it came to my house by UPS and arrived exactly 7 days after I ordered it. I was impressed at the speed.

Now is Your Chance to Enter the Contest for $40 in women's custom made clothing.

The Boy Who Couldn't Stop Growing

Today's Oprah show featured Brenden, a 7'3" tall, 12 year old who stumped the medical professional for years when they couldn't figure out why he kept growing. Finally "a bone marrow test revealed that Brenden's excessive growth started in utero when one of his chromosomes broke off, flipped around and reattached," Dr. Oz says. "They say the odds of this happening are billions to one."
His doctors finally figured out how to stop his growth. "They induced your body into puberty by giving you testosterone," Dr. Oz says. "It was a very smart idea by them." It's worked so far—Brenden says he hasn't grown in the past six months.
I am amazed at the positive attitude Brenden displays. He justs wants to be treated normally - a basic human desire we all have. His biggest challenge is finding clothes that fit. He says he has everything custom made. Shaquille O'Neal invited him to come and hang out with him and he was going to introduce him to his favorite tailor and have some clothes custom made for him. Perhaps we could all beg for the same tailor's phone number.
Thanks Brenden for standing tall and having such a positive outlook in what could be such an awkward time of your life!
