Canvas Press Review 16 x 20 x 1.5



I finally have something to hang on our empty wall. It has been empty for the longest time because we had this awful looking TV stand in front of it and it covered the whole wall. There was really no point of hanging anything on the wall since you wouldn't be able to see it anyway. And now I do. This beautiful Canvas Print from Canvas Press.


I saw their link from another blogger and I really admired the print so much that I didn't hesitate to contact them. They agreed to send me a beautiful Canvas in exchange for a fair review.


I was super excited when I received the package within 5 days of putting the order in. It came in a big sturdy box and it was wrapped beautifully in a thick plastic inside and safe from the element. The great part too was that it came ready to be hang on the wall. You can pretty much take it out of the box and right straight to your wall.





They sent me a 16 x 20 x 1.5 and it was the perfect size for the wall. Which is by the way now open since I moved the furniture around. YEY! The canvas is sturdy and well made. Thick and just perfect.
The one I received is IMAGE WRAP, but they have 2 other options. 

Mirror Wrap 
When important parts of your photo will be wrapped around the edges then the Mirror Wrap option may be your best bet. We will select the edges of your photo and flip them onto the sides to give you that image wrap look without compromising any important elements on the front of your canvas print.

Color Wrap 
The photo stays put on the front of the canvas and you can choose a color to compliment the image and that will be printed on the sides of your canvas print. This is great way to infuse a little pop of color or simulate a frame around your canvas photo.

They do other stuff at Canvas Press too.

Newman's Own Organics Review and Giveaway - ENDED


Newman's Own Organics or NOO products are pretty good. I received all these full size items and have then shared and serve to our friends and mostly families when they come over. Most of them were eaten by my own family. We all had our own favorites, but I will get to that in a bit. I would like to talk about NOO first.

Newman's Own Organics was established as a division of Newman's Own in 1993, and became a separate company in late 2001. The sale of Newman's Own Organics products generates money for the Newman's Own Foundation to give away. Since 1982 Paul Newman and the Newman's Own Foundation have donated more than $350 million dollars to educational and charitable organizations worldwide. 

Certified organic by Oregon Tilth. Ingredients have been grown on farms that have not used artificial fertilizers or pesticides for three years or more. The farms and processors have been certified by an independent third party. Kosher certification by Union of Orthodox Jewish Congregations of America, 333 Seventh Avenue, New York.

The front of each product features an American Gothic "Pa" Newman and daughter Nell in appropriate costume with an accompanying legend on the package; each variety has a color band or colored packaging for easy identification.


Ok, now that you know a little about NOO we can talk some more about what we liked and what we loved.  The mints were my cousins faves. I love mints but I'm more of a gum person. I tried and it was actually pretty good.


These chocolate bars were mine. I didn't even share them with anyone. LOL! YUM!


Anything sour goes to my kids. They loved the licorice, they are definitely kids approved. Although they said they need to be more sour, but they ate it and enjoyed it. I kept the mango. I love anything mango :-)


My husband and his dad shares the chocolate cups. YUP! All 3 and they didn't even share. From the smile on their faces you could tell they wanted some more and I wasn't about to share any of my bars.


I haven't opened the fig, but the Newman-O's is all gone. This is one of my husbands favorite and he even told me to get some more from the store. Actually more like "Please email NOO and tell them to send me some more of those" LOL!


These 2 are also gone, and yup! You guessed it, my husband ate these too. He loved them. he should start his own review blog. LOL!


The ginger snap is another one of his fave. He likes to eat them at night with his milk, hahaha! Alphabet cookies are a hit with the kids. Those are tiny enough for one bite and I love that. I also love the fact that it's chocolate.


The prunes hasn't been opened either. The popcorn on the other hand has been gone the first week. We love popcorn in this house and they don't last long here.


GONE, GONE, GONE. Yes, they were all good.

KQC X-Heat Tourmaline Ceramic Flat Iron Review


Hey Guys!!! Let's talk about hair. Most of my life I've worn my hair long. Although I have tried, short, super short, medium, wavy, curly, straightened, colored and pretty much anything you can imagine, my hair has seen it all. Well, I can't say all since I've never shaved my head.

I've heard a bunch of comments from people about my hair. I love your hair long and straight or I love it curly. You know where I'm getting at.

So a few weeks ago, Flat Iron Experts were kind enough to send me a KQC X-Heat Tourmaline Ceramic Flat Iron, Thermal Shine Spray and the Iron Stand to review and I was super excited since I'm in need of a new hair straightener. 


 Tried it and LOVED it! I love straightening my hair when I get a chance. I don't blow dry my hair, unless it's absolutely necessary. I let it air dry so it naturally curls or does the wave when I let it be.

You can see (a few photos below) what my hair looks like when I let it air dry. I don't remember my hair being so wavy like that growing up. I've always had stick straight hair and for some reason the older I get the curlier my hair gets. LOL! Thanks goodness for KQC X-Heat Tourmaline Ceramic Flat Iron or I would have crazy hair all the time or up in a bun.  


What I love about the KQC X-Heat Tourmaline Ceramic Flat Iron is the heat setting goes from 140 all the way 410. So if you have super fine thin hair you use the lowest setting and for the coarse hair you use the higher setting. I had mine set at 250 - 280 (normal - medium hair).


Now, the spray. I sprayed each section of my hair before running the iron. It made it super shiny, soft, smooth and I love the smell. (just make sure if you have a linoleum floor or hardwood to be careful because it will make your floor slippery, so lay out some towels or spray over a sink).


You can get your own Thermal Shine HERE.


The Flat Iron holder is also a great investment to hold your iron in. Not to worry about burning your table or where you place your iron. Flat Iron holder is available HERE


Love the suctions on the bottom of the Iron Holder. It keeps it from falling and getting yourself hurt or burn. 


Yup! My hair is that wavy messy when I let it air dry, lol.  I love it, don't get me wrong, but sometimes I love my hair straight too. 


I did one side so you can see the difference between the 2. See how shiny it is? Love it!


A close up shot on how shiny and straight my hair is.


All done and ready to go out and party, with my kids in the living room. LOL!

Gear for KIDZ headphones Review and Giveaway


Music is always playing in our home. My family loves music. My husband has a DJ business and our kids love to sing and play music at all times. Lex loves chorus and has been to talent shows and now doing a school musical.  It gets loud in our home, is what I'm saying.  So KIDS Gear helps tune out some of the music and singing when I have a headache or just want a little bit of peace and quiet.


Here's what you need to know about Kidz Gear.  


Kidz Gear is about delivering a line of products and accessories with adult product features, performance and quality levels, but available at a price-point in-line with products for children.

As many parents have, I too have purchased “toy” products for my children: headphones, binoculars, flashlights — only to find they were poorly manufactured, using substandard if not even dangerous components and materials. Obviously, I was tired of purchasing toys and could not afford to give my children my “adult” versions of these products. I decided there was a need to meet in the middle with high-quality, fully functional and ergonomically designed products that are value-priced and in the sizes and styles kids will love! Thus the birth of Kidz Gear:

Grown-Up Performance, Built For Kids!

I invite you to check out all of our exciting new products and give us your feedback on any of the items or information you may find.
Thank you,
Laurie Peterson
Founder, Mom

* It has a volume control
* Lifetime Limited Warranty
* They are custom designed for children 2 yrs. and older

Even my daughter who has her own took it from her brother and started using it. Her reason was it's because it's much nicer than the ones she have.
