Beautiful Photo Blankets from Collage.com (Review and Giveaway)

The holidays are approaching quickly, now is the time to start thinking of gifts for friends and family. Sometimes it is not easy to think of gifts for loved ones. You aren’t sure if they have something you are thinking of, but you don’t just want to give a gift card. I was contacted by Collage.com to review two of their customizable photo blankets. These would definitely make great gifts!

Collage.com offers a variety of photo blankets to choose from. They offer: Fleece, Sherpa, Printed Woven, Plush Fleece, Plush Sherpa and Woven Image.  The sizes of the blankets depend on which blanket style you choose. I chose to review the Printed Woven blanket and the Woven Image blanket.

 

The ordering process was super easy.  I chose the biggest size available (60×80) for both blankets because I knew I would be using one on my couch and one on my bed.  You can add as many photos you want to the blanket and rearrange the photos to show exactly where you want them on the blanket. you can upload photos right from your computer, Facebook and Instagram. You can add backgrounds, stickers effects and text. Possibilities are endless!

I chose the Printed Woven with lots of family pictures. For my second blanket, I chose the Woven Image with one large photo. I am so excited how both of them turned out. Each blanket arrived in a clear carry case great for storage or travel. The blankets are super soft and they feel very heavy-duty. I love the large size of the blankets and each photo pops with color. The photos look absolutely perfect on the blanket.

 

In conclusion, I am very happy and impressed with the quality of these blankets from Collage.com. I believe they are 100% worth the price, and I love how you can customize them any way you wish. These blankets would make great holiday gifts, wedding gifts, Anniversary gifts and birthday gifts!

All of the blankets are backed by Collage.com‘s Just Right 100% satisfaction guarantee: If a customer doesn’t like his or her order, they make it right or refund money.
New customers also get 60% off their first order. There’s a banner in the top left corner of the page where new customers can get the 60% off discount on their very first order.

A great thing about these blankets is that each one of them is machine washable! No need to take to a dry cleaner!

Beautiful Personalized Bar Kids Name Necklaces From Wickedly Mod Review and Giveaway


Are you looking for a beautiful customized piece of jewelry with your children’s names on it? Look no further, Wickedly Mod has beautiful personalized bar necklaces in a variety of colors and engraving choices.

 

I loved personalized items, especially when they have my children’s names on them. I was able to review a personalized bar kids name necklace from Wickedly Mod and cannot wait to tell you all about the gorgeous necklace and easy ordering process.

 

About this Necklace:

Personalized bar necklace with your kids name is the perfect gift for mom!   You will receive a beautiful laser engraved personalized sterling silver, gold-filled, or rose gold-filled 30mm x 5mm bar necklace. Price starts at $38.

MATERIALS: Made with either sterling silver, gold-filled or rose gold-filled. All pieces and components are made with the same materials.

DIMENSIONS: 30mm x 5mm.

*NOTE: The length of your chain will include the length of the bar!  The bar is a little more than an inch in length*

• Available in sterling silver, gold filled, or rose gold filled
• Want one with your name?  Order yours here: personalized bar name necklace (note: you can still order this one but the name will always be centered)
• We use a high end laser machine for all cuts and engravings.
• Excellent customer service
• Superb quality and craftsmanship
• Unique personalized jewelry
• Beautiful packaging for easy gift giving (this necklace will go in it’s own individual Wickedly Mod box)
• Discounts are available for bridal parties and bulk orders (depending on total order value). Please contact us for more details.

 

The first step to the ordering process is to decide on what metal choice to pick. The options available are: Sterling Silver, Gold Filled ($4 extra) and Rose Gold Filled ($8 extra). I chose the Rose Gold because I love that color. The next step is to choose your chain length. The options are 14″ to 30″ with that average adult length being 18″. I chose the 19″ because I like to wear my necklaces a bit longer than the average length. Prices will vary on how long you want the chain to be.

The next step is choosing your engraving font. Wickedly Mod has an engraving font example photo that will help you choose the best font for your necklace. I knew I wanted a cursive type font so I went with “Trendy” and so glad I did since it came out exactly how I wanted and exactly how it looks on the example photo provided. The last step is to choose the name separator if you are personalizing more than one name. You can pick between a heart or a dot. I chose the heart. You can also add font to the back of the bar for an addition $7.

Once your are finished personalizing your necklace, you can click the checkout button. This will have everything you have chosen listed so you can review it for any errors. Then you add your billing and shipping information and that is it! SHIPPING IS ALSO FREE!!!! You will then receive a confirmation email, and then a shipping email with tracking once your necklace ships. The process was quick and easy.

I received my necklace about 6 days later. It came in a cute little box and velvety holder. I am so thrilled with how gorgeous this necklace is and the quality is amazing. I am so excited to wear it and show it off to my friends and family. I am looking forward to purchasing a few of these for my family members for the upcoming holidays!

 

This necklace would make a perfect gift for any Mother, Grandmother, Aunt…etc for birthdays or holiday gifts. Use code MOMMYHASTOWORK15 for 15% off your entire order.

5 Ways To Protect The Health Of Your Family At Home

In a world full of surprises, it isn’t always possible to be certain of your family’s safety. This may result in you spending a lot of your time worrying about your loved ones. However, it is much easier to take control when you are at home. Your home should be somewhere that you can go to in order to feel safe and relaxed. It should be free from all of the stresses and strains of the outside world. If you want to do everything in your power to ensure that your family are happy and healthy, you will need to read on. Below are five ways that you can protect the health of your family, when you are at home.

Hire Exterminator services

If you are struggling to deal with pests, you should turn to the professionals for help. This is the best way to be certain about the results that you will receive. You can find pest control near Mathews NC. This service will provide long-lasting solutions for problems with pests like termites, bed bugs, mice and rats, cockroaches, spiders, mosquitoes, and many more. This is an essential step for you to take, if you are looking to protect the health of your loved ones. Pests can spread harmful bacteria and diseases. It is a terrible idea to let a pest infestation get out of hand. When you find yourself in this situation, it is vital that you act immediately. You should also trust a company that provides a service which is suitable for children and pets. You don’t want to be replacing one worry with another. In order to avoid this, you need to hire a company that doesn’t use chemicals that will be harmful to your family.

Invest in health insurance

When thinking about the health of your family, you need to look to the future. Don’t wait for problems to come your way, try to pre-empt them. Investing in health insurance is an extremely wise move to make. This investment will ensure that you get the best health care in the event of an emergency. It will also help you to be certain that you can afford any necessary treatments that could cover doctor’s consultations in a reputable facility that has top-of-the-line equipment such as medical oxygen sensors, patient monitors, and the likes. Instead of having to face the burden of an illness, and a huge bill, at the same time, health insurance will help to remove the pressure of paying your family’s medical fees. Good quality medical insurance will also allow you to schedule in regular health checks. This is the best way to ensure that all of your family are fighting fit. Of all the areas that you could be investing your money, health care is by far the most responsible. Don’t spend your days worrying. Instead, take control of the situation and introduce a strong backup plan.

Purify your air

Clean air is hugely beneficial for the health of your family. Why not invest in an air purifier? Or in a shop air filtration system, if you enjoy doing some woodworking at home. This is a great way to benefit your respiratory system. If any members of your family suffer with severe allergies, an air purifier will provide welcome relief. It will also allow you all to get a good night’s sleep, as it helps with snoring, wheezing, and coughing. If you aren’t in a position to invest in an air purifier, you should take the natural route. Try to open up your windows, and doors, as much as possible. One of the worst things for your health is to live in an environment that is filled with stale, and stagnant, air. You should also try to arrange family hikes. Not only is this a great opportunity to explore the great outdoors, it will also help you, and your family, to breathe in some fresh air. Alternatively, you could spend time together in your back-yard. Whatever you do, just try to find some clean air to enjoy.

Put together a medical kit

Every home should have a medical kit. This is the best way to be prepared for emergencies. In the case of an emergency, it is important that everyone in your family knows where to go. If you have a medical kit, fetching it will become an instinctive step. Make sure that you do your research in order to find out what items should be stored in your kit. You should also be certain to replenish your stock on a regular basis. It is always the one thing that you’re missing that you need the most. If anyone in your family has specific medical requirements, it will be hugely beneficial to keep their specialist equipment in one place. For instance, if one of your children suffers from asthma, they will need to have a back-up inhaler. If this inhaler is constantly being moved around your home, it will be difficult to find it in an emergency. However, if it is stored safely in your medical kit, everyone will know where to run to. You should also consider having a second kit in your car. This is especially important if anyone in your family likes to take part in outdoor activities. Make sure that you always have the tools that you need.

Create a healthy diet and exercise plan

It is vital that you encourage your entire family to embrace a healthy attitude towards diet and exercise. One way to do this is by putting together a clear plan. Don’t just take this on alone, make sure that your entire family gets involved. Work together to make your household as healthy, and happy, as possible. You could work out together, take it in turns to prepare healthy meals, and even get up early to do yoga as a family. It might feel a little strange at first, especially if you’re not all used to such a healthy approach, but eventually you will begin to see the benefits. By working together you will the constant motivation to keep going. You could even make it a competition to see who can make the most positive changes to their lifestyle.
