ThumbTack Press Highlight



My home decor isn't your average decor, We have dragons,fairies,& more so I am always on the look out for interesting Home decor such as Art prints. I was recently introduced to a website called Thumbtack Press.



Thumbtack Press is the pioneers of affordable open-edition art prints with over 100 top illustrator, lowbrow, and character artists from around the world.They offer thousands of art prints, including kids prints,abstract prints,Animal prints & much more. Taking a look through their website I found a handful of prints I like & would purchase just on the first page. One of thier brand new artisits is called Uglydolls,from the creative minds of two love struck artists emerge the UGLYDOLL® family! See what happens when the playful orange character known as Wage™ and the other Uglys are thrust out of the comfort of their Uglyverse and into the strange world of humans. These prints capture the Uglys, for the first time, out of their natural habitat. Who knows what will happen next.



I find the Uglydoll prints to be quite adorable each one has its own unique personality,There are three different ways you can buy a print, You can purchase a Stretched Canvas,Framed print or just the print. Head over to check out the other prints they have to offer if you keep an eye on their Twitter & Facebook you may be able to catch a special offer or two,The site is easy to navigate & the prints are fun to browse. I plan on revisiting this website in the future because there are quite a few prints I would love to own.**This was not a paid review & I did not receive any products in exchange for this review**

Magic Whiteboard Review



I am excited that I found a great new product for my daughters room & play area,I recently found a product called Magic Whiteboard. I was recently sent a roll of Magic Whiteboard Sheets,What is a Magic Whiteboard sheet? The Magic Whiteboard is a Whiteboard on a Roll, and it is perfect for home, school and the office, from the playroom to the classroom to the boardroom. It is completely erasable and sticks to any hard, flat surface using electrostatic technology, so no adhesive is needed. You can reuse each sheet more than 20 times and recycle it when you’re ready to throw it away. Any ink from dry erase markers will rub off easily even if left on for days, but note that dry erase ink can rub off when sheets are folded or rolled.



To give it a test run I placed it onto the closet door in my bedroom,Why? Some days I leave before my Husband & others he leaves before me while the other still sleeps so I thought it would be nice to leave friendly daily reminders,notes,ect. It unrolls easily though I did tear it slightly trying to separate it off of the roll,Other wise it went right onto the closet door perfectly. It is easy to write on & the marker wipes off very smoothly without leaving any color or marks behind. I plan to keep the rest of the rolls in the package for now until we moved into our new home at the beginning of the year,then I plan to make a small learning area for my children which will include these hanging on the wall. It will help with ABC's,123's & spelling if needed they can be cut to any shape or size you would like so you can add them in other places of your home such as next to the fridge or on the fridge,next to the computer desk & more. I have enjoyed using this product & would like to use some of their other products as well,If you home school this is something you should definitely look into. Feel free to head over & "Like" them on Facebook or follow them on Twitter to keep updated with their new products. ****This was not a paid post and my honest opinion was used.

The Pink Monogram Review



When ever my family & friends gets a chance we love to take road trips out doors whether it's to go camping,Hiking or just to go fishing we love being out doors. We always like to be prepared which includes having a small knives collection because you never know when or what you will need one for so when I received a chance to add a new pocket knife to my collection I couldn't refuse.



I recently worked with a great company called The Pink Monogram that sells a large rang of items from House goods to Wedding gifts. For my review I decided to go with the Monogrammed Black Buffalo Horn Lock Back Knife from their Wedding gifts for men section the knife itself looks great! Here is the description from the website: "Monogrammed Pocket Knife! This Monogrammed Black Buffalo Horn Lock Back Knife has class. The 3 ¼” handle is exotic buffalo horn with brass pins. The mirror polished bolsters and the filework design on the lockback just add to the overall fit and finish. The blade is a polished 2 1/8” 440C stainless steel with a flat grind. Other details include Rockwell Hardness of 54-58, flat blade grind, 3 1/4” closed length and a 5 1/2”  overall length." The knife arrived in a fantastic amount of time considering a separate company did the engraving which says "K3", The pocket knife has a nice weight to it,Easy to open easy to close & looks great. The blade is sharp &can be used to cut a number of things my husband works with boxes all day so this comes in handy when he needs to cut open boxes or cut the plastic off of a product. Both my husband & myself enjoy this product and would recommend it to family + friends.



The Pink Monogram offers dozens of other every day items including Totes,Ice buckets,Bedding,Cups, & Much more some of my favorites include the 6-Inch Pillar Candles In Fall Colors And Scents which can be engraved with your Initial,Personalized Sit N Sip Cooler And Sports Seat And Camping Stool & New Personalized Engraved Square Platter And Easel. Based off of how easy the site is to navigate,friendly customer service & high quality product I expect to return to this website again to find future presents for myself,husband & family + friends, I suggest you head over & check out everything The Pink Monogram has to offer. ****This was not a paid post and my honest opinion was used.

Piggy Paint GIVEAWAY & Review



Every time I paint my nails my daughter always seems to want her nails painted also but with the chemicals & harsh smells in nail polish I don't like the idea of it being on her fingers since she sticks them in her mouth,near her eyes ect that Is why I love a company called Piggy Paint. What is Piggy Paint? Piggy paint is kid friendly nail polish, Piggy Paint is specially formulated from God’s natural ingredients and dries to a hard, durable finish. There are no toxic chemicals; it’s free of formaldehyde, toluene, phthalates, Bisphenol A, ethyl acetate and acetone.



Recently for a review I received three bottles of nail polish in the colors Glitter Bug,Pocket full of Posies[Pink] & Sleep Over [Black] I was excited to test these out. The first color we tested out was the Sleep over it looked adorable & on every other one we added Glitter bug on top my daughter loved it. The description on their website is absolutely true "dries to a hard, durable finish" though you do have to have them sit still long enough so that the nails have time to dry,My daughter is quite the wiggle bug. I have also used this nail polish on my own nails it dries fast,stays on my nails & doesn't have a harsh scent. My favorite thing about this product is that if it gets on the floor,furniture or her skin it doesn't matter because it just washed off with soap & water. I love this product & plan on buying more of their colors for my daughter that way we can do each nail a different color! I also received a bottle of their nail polish remover here is the description from the website "Put harmful, smelly polish removers behind you with Piggy Paint Nail Polish Remover, a remover that works quickly on all polishes, especially Piggy Paint Nail Polish. Our remover contains none of the solvents that could offend your nose or harm our atmosphere. Aloe Vera and Vitamin E are added to supplement the natural oils that protect nails and cuticles." since I was still a little skeptical I tried this on my own nails first it didn't have a scent & worked well so I had no worry about using it on my daughters nails.If you are still worried about the nail polish remover the nail polish comes off after five days or so with soap & water.****This was not a paid post and my honest opinion was used.
