Back to School with Snapily’s Customizable 3D and Flip Animated Notebooks, Rulers and Bookmarks!

2:01 PM



 
      I have recently learned about an awesome online store named Snapily that creates and personalizes very cool personalized products, including back to school products, like notebooks, rulers, bookmarks, and scrapbook pages. 

     Snapily is not just your average picture personalization site! Snapily is much more exciting and unique with their 3D pictures, and a nifty flip between two pictures that customers can create onto their products. For example, you can actually blow a kiss with some of Snapily's products.


     I had the opportunity to receive 2 different hard samples to see what Snapily's products are all about. I received a notebook and bookmark to review. I was very impressed right when seeing these products! I was even impressed with them not being my own personalized photos. 

     The notebook has a sturdy hard cover that is made to last a long time. The cover is created with a flip effect. There are 2 different pictures that you can see on the cover depending on which angle you are holding the notebook! This notebook left me with a very great impression. The note book is filled with several note pages that are lined paper and are double sided. I would definitely purchase a notebook from Snapily because they are fun, unique, made with great quality, and I think any child would love to have a personalized notebook with their favorite summer picture on it to take to school.      




     To create your own notebook, visit Snapily to use their notebook 3D creator. The notebook creator is easy to use. Simply choose a background, add text, add graphics, and add your very own pictures. Snapily allows you to create your notebook to your personal taste in a matter of minutes!

     I thought the bookmark was super cool too. The bookmark is very sturdy (sturdier than any other bookmark I have ever used ).  I love that it is so sturdy and made with great quality so this bookmark will last a long time. The bookmark I received was made with a 3D effect where there was a photo of two children on the bookmark. The bookmark also has some flowers on it that look like they are coming towards me. I love the 3D effect on this bookmark! I would also purchase this bookmark because this bookmark is really neat with it's 3D effect. I can tell that it'll last a long time because the bookmark is not flimsy at all. I think children would love this bookmark with their picture on it to use while reading their favorite book! I also think any parent would love a Snapily personalized bookmark to use with a picture of their child on it.


Here is a short video to see how the notebook looks in action so you can see how the flip notebook works!








    Snapily also has an assortment of other fabulous products! Some of their products include: business cards, greeting cards, backpack tags, and photo cards.

     To learn more about how amazing Snapily is, simply visit their About Us page.

    I definitely recommend Snapily to you! Snapily is a great company that brings a ton of fun into their products that are made with great quality!

Review - Stay Hydrated with Hint, All Natural Flavored Water

11:57 AM






    Children are now back in school! With the temperatures still very warm, it's essential to have your children stay hydrated while at school or on the go! Hint is the perfect solution to help your child stay hydrated while going back to school! Hint is a company based out of San Francisco and was created by Kara Goldin in 2005. Hint water comes in a variety of flavors including: watermelon, strawberry- kiwi, and raspberry lime. Hint is hydrating and refreshing because it is not an alternative to water, it IS water!

     Hint's slogan is drink water, not sugar! Hint has absolutely no calories, no sugar and no artificial flavors or preservatives. Hint is also an all natural essence water. What more can you ask for in flavored water? That is everything that I now ask for in flavored water.

      I recently heard a news report here in Utah that a child had to be rushed to the ER because of being dehydrated at school because the temperatures inside of the school were very hot! That is a good reminder to send your children to school with some refreshing all natural water to keep them safe and hydrated! It is also a good idea to keep reminding your children that they need to keep drinking water.




     I had the great opportunity to review the top 6 flavors of the Hint water out of the 10 flavors that Hint offers. I was so excited to try out Hint that I started drinking them without taking a picture first! The flavors that I reviewed included: Watermelon, Blackberry, Pomegranate-Tangerine, Mango-Grapefruit, Strawberry-Kiwi, and Raspberry Lime. 

    Hint water is recommended to be served chilled for a more refreshing taste so I put my Hint water in the fridge before I tasted it. I started out with the Watermelon flavor and Blackberry flavor! I really enjoyed these 2 flavors the best. They are all great flavors and are very unique. I enjoyed them all. Hint water tastes like water with just a hint of flavor to it. It tastes as if there is a squeeze of fresh fruit into the water. Hint tastes great without tasting sweet and leaves no big sweet after taste in your mouth. I really liked that it didn't leave a big sweet after taste in my mouth. I also loved that I actually felt like I was drinking water while drinking this flavored water because I am a water lover. When drinking this water you will first taste and notice a refreshing water taste and then a light fruit flavor taste follows along.


     If you are looking for a healthy alternative to plain water, then I recommend you to try out Hint! Children will love the "hint" of flavor added to water for a refreshing taste. Say "good-bye" to carbonated drinks and sugary unhealthy drinks! Say "hello" to the all-natural healthy, Hint water!


     I really look forward to trying out the other flavors that I didn't get to try out like the Honeydew- Hibiscus, Pear, Lime, and Cucumber flavors!






WHERE TO PURCHASE HINT

Available at Whole Foods, Starbucks, Amazon.com, and drinkhint.com. Hint is also available at Sheetz, Stop & Shop, Harris Teeter, Ralphs, Sprouts, as well as local retailers, hotels and spas.


Hint retails for an average of $1.79 a bottle and Hint also comes in a case of 12. 


Try Hint out today and see why it was named "Best Flavored Water" by Self Magazine, Men's Health Magazine, Good Housekeeping, and Health Magazine and see why many people are praising Hint.

BTSB- Staying Organized with BusyBodyBook Family Grid Organizer Review & Giveaway

1:40 PM




     The new school year is about to start and for a lot of children school has already begun. Going back to school means children will become busy with school activities, after school activities, school projects and more. BusyBodyBook is a great company to go to this school year to help organize your family's schedule and to save everyone more time by becoming organized. You can be creative with the BusyBodyBook Organizers and use it for just about anything though. Whether you want to keep track of meal planning, clients at work, dieting goals, holiday management or any other activity, BusyBodyBook will help you out with organizing.

     I will admit that I'm not very good at being organized. I rarely ever write down upcoming events which leads to stress sometimes. I know that becoming more organized can save me time and stress so I was very happy to receive a 2011/2012 Personal & Family Grid Organizer to review. I received an academic year (meaning August 2011 to August 2012) Personal & Family Grid Organizer in the design "chocolate".


Here are some great features that are included:



2 Monthly Planners
One planner to record birthdays and anniversaries! Another to note next year's appointments and future events.

Full Page Months-at-a-glance too!
Full page months-at-a-glance provide you with the "bigger picture" to help plan for holidays, vacations, or repetitive and special events.

Key contact pages
2 Pages for your emergency contact information, doctors, coaches, babysitters...

Removable shopping lists
Perforated pages for creating handy grocery or gift lists.

2 Pockets
Inside front & back covers provide a deep pocket to hold important papers, receipts, coupons...

Bookmark
Easily flip to the current week with this unique bookmark that grabs the spiral.

Notes
A full page each week for notes, to do's, lists, or alerts. Plenty of notes pages in back of BBB too to record and keep
important information.

Sturdy, clear plastic covers!
BusyBodyBook's beautifully designed covers are fully protected from puddles, spills and those pesky coffee cup rings by heavy plastic.





     I was really impressed with the Personal and Family Organizer that I received. The BusyBodyBook is very sturdy and made out of great quality. The organizer has 5 columns to coordinate activities for up to 5 family members conveniently side by side. Of course, you can also keep track of 5 clients at work side by side, or etc.

     I loved that the BusyBodyBook has many features to it. I was amazed at how many different organizing features it includes to help organize in different ways. There are pages that are great for keeping track of birthdays or anniversaries that is helpful for me because I have many birthdays to remember. I can now keep organized with birthdays for my niece's and nephew's better because of BusyBodyBook. 

     The organizer also includes a perforated shopping list with pages of theses shopping lists. I love that a shopping list is conveniently located in the BusyBodyBook organizer so when I think of something I need from the grocery store, I can then jot it down while I'm using my organizer so I can get 2 things done at once. This is fast for me to do and it also saves me time instead of going to my fridge to jot down my grocery list.





     I also love that their is an "Important People" section where it helps me keep track of my family and friend's. This section is like an address book. There are 15 people you can keep track of better with their address, phone number, and e-mail address. I love this section because it'll help me keep track of addresses better because I currently do not have an address book so I feel very unorganized. There is also a restaurants and take-out section so you can keep organized with your favorite places to eat at!

     The organizer also has 2 places in the front and back of the organizer that are like folders so you can add papers into the organizer to keep papers safe that you need to. You could also put coupons, receipts, recipes for meal planning, or anything else to have it stored safely inside the folder area.

     Lastly, my favorite feature is the main feature of organizing 5 different people or events side by side. I love this because I help Paul with his business daily and I have a very hard time keeping track of all of his clients. This organizer has helped me so I can put 5 different clients down for a week and track them with updates for each day that I need to. This is a brilliant idea for people who have multiple clients at work! With the organizer, I am able to stay updated on every little detail I need to, every day that an update arises, which is very often. I can now also know what happened on which day so I can keep a little peace of mind and have the organizer remember for me, instead of myself. 


I recommend BusyBodyBook to you! I love the family grid organizer and I think it's a fabulous product!

BTSB- Waste-Free Lunch Boxes with Easy Lunch Boxes Review & Giveaway

4:22 PM

      Today,  I'm happy to bring to you a review for an essential product for back to school! Lunchboxes are a must have item that every child who takes a lunch to school will need! Easy Lunch Boxes is the perfect solution to back to school shopping for lunch boxes!

     I am a fan of Easy Lunch Boxes because they have waste-free lunch boxes that are easy to use and will save you a lot of money. No more paper bags or plastic baggies to make a lunch! Easy Lunch Boxes has a great system where you can purchase containers that come with 4 different containers in 4 different colors. You can also purchase a lunch bag to store the containers into them.


Great things I love about Easy Lunch Boxes: 

- Eco-Friendly
- Made for Kids and Adults
- Containers have 3 Compartments & 1 Lid
- Easy Preparation & Easy Cleanup
-No BPA, Lead, Vinyl or PVC
- Affordable & Very Durable






     Easy Lunch Boxes graciously sent me a black lunch bag with a set of containers to review! Shipping was super fast and I received my lunch products within the same week that they were ordered for me! I was definitely impressed with Easy Lunch Boxes shipping!

      I love that the lunch bags come in 7 different colors to choose from so there is definitely a color for everyone! We love that the lunch bag system is compact, lightweight, easy to carry around with it's handle, and it is not bulky. This lunch box system is perfect for kid's to take to school, parents to take to work, or pack a lunch for the park.




     I was impressed with the containers because they are very sturdy and sturdier than any other container I have ever used. They out beat Ziploc containers by a lot! These containers are microwave and dishwasher friendly. I had the chance to wash my containers inside of the dishwasher. They were in the same condition after washing them in the dishwasher as they were before. The container tops still had the bright colors and did not fade while washing.

     Easy Lunch Boxes also made these containers kid friendly. The containers are made to open easily so children can take these containers to school in the Easy Lunch Boxes bento lunch box. I was concerned at first when the containers didn't snap shut, but then realized that it is perfect to use with the lunch box.  This is also great so when children use the containers at school that they can open up the containers by themselves and will not need extra help to open the containers up.

     Remember Easy Lunch Boxes this school year and start packing school lunches with the Easy Lunch Boxes system!

      We really love the lunch bag and containers that we received! Paul has enjoyed taking his new lunch box and containers to work. It has come in handy and we have enjoyed saving money by using the Easy Lunch Boxes products.


BUY IT! You can purchase the lunch bag for only $7.95 and the containers retail for $13.95. Shipping is free when you purchase the Easy Lunch Boxes products on Amazon. Take advantage of free shipping today!

       


GIVEAWAY 


Thanks to Easy Lunch Boxes, one lucky reader will win a container set and one lunch bag (winner can choose color). Retail value is $21.90.
