Easy Canvas Prints Review

Disclosure - free sample provided.

I love taking pictures of my friends and family.  What do you do with all of your great photos?  Do you ever have one photo that you wish you could make into something great?  That is exactly what you can do with the help of Easy Canvas Prints.  They help you turn your regular print into a photo canvas.  

Easy Canvas Prints is very easy to use.  You simply choose the options you want for your canvas.  You have options on size, thickness, and more.  Then you upload  your photo and you are done.  I created mine in about 5 minutes.  I really couldn't believe how easy it was to do.  

My canvas print came about a week after ordering.  I am really impressed.  It is neat to see your little photo on a larger canvas.  These are great for gifts or to put up in your own home.  Easy Canvas Prints is great to preserve special family memories.  I opted to use a photo of my daughter playing at the park, but you can pretty much put any kind of photo you can imagine on canvas.  What would you choose?

Tinkertoy 100 Piece Set Review and #Giveaway 7/20 CLOSED

Disclosure - free sample provided.

My kids love Tinkertoys.  These have always been a great toy to keep children entertained.  These have been around for a long time and are what I would call a classic toy.  They are actually celebrating their 100th anniversary too!  That is really neat.  

You may wonder what makes Tinkertoys so special if you haven't played with them.  My kids and I love them because they provide for hours of fun.  They are a great toy that makes your child think.  I say that because if they are building a structure they have to think about the pieces they are using and how to put them together to make the structure work.  Tinkertoys consist of spools, flags, rods, washers and more.  Your child can use these to build whatever they want.

I love Tinkertoys because this is a nice quiet activity.  Tinkertoys keep children entertained too!  My kids love to use their imagination to create different things.  The instructions come with some great building ideas too.  Your child can use them as a guide while building.  

The Tinkertoy 100 piece set will be available this fall on the K'NEX website and retails for $34.99.  

You can also connect with Tinkertoy on Facebook.

KidzGear Headphones Package for Kids Review and Giveaway 7/18 CLOSED

Disclosure - free sample provided.

My kids love to play their video game systems or on my tablet, but honestly the noise can be insanely loud when I am trying to drive.  I think the more kids you have the louder it becomes.  So, what do you do?  Headphones and earbuds sound like a great idea, but I worry about them being able to adjust the volume too loud.  Then the earbuds and headphones that are available can be too big for children.  

I want to introduce you to KidzGear.  They are a company that offers quality headphones that were designed with just "kids" in mind.  They are a smaller size headphone set that fits their heads nicely without slipping off.  These are adjustable headphones too.  They are perfect for children 2 years of age and up.  My 6 and 8 year old love them.  We have used them with their little game systems, but also with my little tablet.  I love one of the features on them!  They have volume control.  This is great for us parents that are worried about little ones blasting their eardrums out.  These wired headphones provide rich stereo sound.  They are made for kids, but perform like grown-up versions do.  

KidzGear headphones are available in a variety of colors.  They offer them in pink, orange, blue, green and purple.  KidzGear also offers a splitter.  This is also great if you have 2 kids that want to share one device.  You can get a free splitter when you purchase 2 sets of KidzGear headphones.  KidzGear also offers a really great carrying bag to keep your KidzGear headphones in.  These carrying bags are great to protect the headphones too.  

My kids need to have a set of headphones or earbuds every year for school.  They use the headphones for the iPads they use at school.  The headphones are very important because they use a variety of different apps throughout the day that help them with learning.  They also use the headphones for testing.  This makes it very important that I get them a quality pair of headphones or earbuds.  We are definitely going to be using the KidzGear headphones for this next school year.

You can order your own set of KidzGear headphones directly from their website for $19.99.  You can also connect with KidzGear on Facebook.

Meow Cosmetics Eyeshadow Review

Disclosure - free sample provided.

I want to introduce you to a great place to find amazing makeup.  Meow Cosmetics offers great quality makeup that is fun!  They offer a huge selection of colors.  They offer things like foundation, concealer, eyeliner, eyeshadows and much more.  There are so many choices and I love that.  They offer something for everyone.

Meow Cosmetics is an online only retailer of unique cosmetic products.  They make everything by hand in small batches.  They pride themselves on their strict quality control standards.  I found it really neat that when  you order from them that the product is made just for you!  You can order small sample size products for just $1 too if you want to try out a color or a product.  They offer amazing customer service.

 The Meow eyeshadows are mineral shadows.  They go on soft.  They blend well.  I found that they last throughout the day too.  I love that they have a very nice shimmer to most of them.  I have very sensitive eyes and they are very gentle on my eyes.

I received some eyeshadow samples from Meow Cosmetics.  The first set of shadows I want to tell you about is from their Stripped line.  These are all colors on the mellow side.  They are soft and pretty.  The Stripped Shadows are great neutral tones.  I wear colors like this all the time during the day.  These colors are great by themselves or combined with others.  I had a bunch of fun trying these out.  I created a simple daytime look with these shadows.

I want to tell you about another set of beautiful mineral shadows that I received from Meow Cosmetics.  Many of these colors are bright and vibrant.  These are also amazing quality eyeshadows.  I really had fun trying these out. Most of these also have some shimmer to them.  They go on great and I find that they also last throughout the day.  You can see all of the fun color options in the Shades of Meow III below.  What color is your favorite?  I have a hard time picking just one, but I really like strawberries.

Field Trip Jerky Review

Disclosure - free sample provided.

I really love beef jerky, but it has to be good jerky.  I used to make my own and that is definitely a ton of work.  Field Trip Jerky makes jerky that is so good.  I am really excited to introduce you to their products.  They make jerky the way it should be made.  The flavors accentuate the beef that is used and don't cover them up.  

Field Trip Jerky was created by Matt, Scott, and Tom.  They were fed up with the processed jerky that you find many places.  Field Trip jerky was first sold in 2011.  In 2012 Wegman's started to carry it in their stores.  The popularity of this jerky continued to spread.  It is even offered for purchase on some jetBlue flights.

What makes Field Trip Jerky different?  It is made with lean meat.  It is made without preservatives, MSG, and nitrates.  It is a low fat snack too.  You really can taste the difference.  I love that I can eat Field Trip Jerky and feel good about eating it and giving it to my kids.

Field Trip Jerky comes in 3 great flavors.  My husband's favorite variety is the Original #3 jerky.  This is a traditional style beef jerky.  It has great flavor, but it isn't overly salty or sweet.  It's excellent.  I loved the Teriyaki #23 jerky.  I love that it has great flavor and a touch of sweetness from the Teriyaki.  However, you still can taste the flavor of the beef used.  The Five Honey Spice #11 is also excellent if you like a little bit bolder flavor.  This combines honey with excellent spices.  

Field Trip Jerky uses USDA approved beef.  The jerky is made here in the US too.  The jerky is delicious and definitely something we would eat again.  You can visit their website to learn more about this jerky.  You can find out where you can buy it or you can purchase it directly from the website.  You can also connect with Field Trip Jerky on Facebook and Twitter.

Spark of Amber 18 inch Necklace #Giveaway 7/18 CLOSED

Disclosure - free sample provided.

I have always loved Baltic Amber jewelry.  It's very natural and beautiful.  Are you familiar with Baltic Amber?  I find it intriguing and very neat.  Baltic Amber is pretty much fossilized sap.  Amber is not the same as typical stones that come from the ground because of this.  Baltic Amber is said to release healing oils when you wear it.  Pretty neat right?  There is a benefit to these healing oils.  They have said to be beneficial to help pain.  They are said to be calming too if you are stressed.  Baltic Amber has also been used for teething, sore throats, ear aches, and tummy pain.

I want to introduce you to a company that makes beautiful Baltic Amber jewelry.  Spark of Amber offers jewelry for adults and children.  They have teething necklaces, hazelwood and amber necklaces, teething bracelets, pendants, earrings, and more!  They offer Baltic Amber jewelry that comes in a variety of colors.  Some Baltic Amber is very light, some is very dark, and some is almost opaque.  I love it all and it's all beautiful.

I received a Baltic Amber necklace from Spark of Amber.  I suffer from a things like ear pain that comes from sinus issues.  I am excited to try out my Baltic Amber necklace and see how it helps the pain over time. I love a natural way to help with pain instead of taking medication.  The necklace I received is the 18 inch in the "Midnight" color amber.  I really love how deep and rich the color is of the amber.  It is very pretty.  This necklace is great for adults or older children and teens.  This is a handcrafted necklace that is made of amber nuggets.  Each necklace will be unique because no piece of amber is exactly the same.  

This is just one of the many beautiful Baltic Amber pieces that Spark of Amber has to offer.  Their items make great gifts.  They are great gifts for a baby that has pain from teething.  They are great gifts to a child that suffers from frequent ear infections too.  You can purchase directly from the Spark of Amber website.  They offer free shipping within the US.

Zaycon Foods Fresh Meat at Low Prices

Disclosure - free product will be provided in exchange for this post.

How does Zaycon Foods manage to provide such high quality super fresh meat and produce to its customers at such low prices? The answer is strength in numbers. And not our numbers, yours!

Zaycon Foods can sell its products at bulk rate prices to individual consumers and families because our unique sales event business model brings lots of people together, adding all their purchasing power into a combined bulk food purchase. And when you buy as part of a group that’s committing to such a large purchase, the power is in the hands of the purchaser! It’s the ultimate group buy in terms of both price and consumer empowerment.

You can pre-select exactly what you want to order from a given Zaycon sales event – sometimes you may want to stock up on our amazing meaty back ribs and sometimes it might be all about the Zaycon bacon – and then, on the day of the sales event, you and a whole big bunch of your neighbors will find yourselves in a nearby parking lot watching as an entire tractor trailer’s worth of high quality natural food is unloaded into all of your cars! You will be amazed at how quickly one of our refrigerated trucks goes from being filled with natural, fresh chicken or hundreds of gallons of grade A non-homogenized milk to being empty and back on its way to the farm!

A Zaycon Foods truck sales event often lasts less time than you would spend on a trip to the grocery store, yet you will leave with a whole lot more food than you’d get at the market, and for much better prices, too!

When you use the Zaycon Foods sales event as your preferred place to purchase meats, milk, and any of our other fine products, you get advantages even beyond the bulk pricing that comes with our special sales model. You also have the peace of mind of knowing exactly what you’re going to get! A trip to the grocery store can involve wasted time wandering around looking for various foods spread out across the store; at a Zaycon Foods parking lot meat truck delivery (or milk or berries or fish delivery, too!) you have pre-ordered your foods, so all you have to do is show up and wait for our friendly staffers and volunteers to load up your car. 

Also, unlike in the grocery store, the prices you will pay for a Zaycon Foods product are locked in on our website, so you will know how much you are going to spend before you have committed to a purchase. 

At a supermarket, you might pay one price for chicken on one day, and then a higher price on another day. With Zaycon, you decide that you want to order a case of our fresh boneless skinless chicken breasts, you check the price and then you commit to it, knowing that from that moment on, we are committed to getting you your fresh, natural food!
