Shoplet.com and OfficeMate


shoplet-logo-dark
  When I blog, I usually sit on the couch in the den with my laptop on a lap-tray and everything else I need on the end table next to me.  It works out perfectly as it is comfortable and I can sit with my husband while he watches television.  The only problem I have with not using the desk back in our office room is organization!  Trying to keep all of my pens, scissors, sticky notes, calendar and everything else I use when blogging in an organized and handy spot is near impossible!  Until now that is!
shoplet.com 024
   Once again, Shoplet.com, my favorite online site for discounted office supplies, has sent me some amazing products for review, right in the nick of time!  This time I was sent two Officemate products, a great organizer for office tools and a neat clipboard with a dry erase clipboard on the front!

Officemate Recycled Rotary Organizer (OIC26255)
    Item number OIC26255, or the Recycled Rotary Organizer, is perfect for keeping all of your writing tools, scissors, paperclips and more all together in one organized place.  Made from 30% post-consumer recycled content, this sturdy, three-tiered organizer has 16 multi-sized slots and rotates around making it easy to access what you need. 
shoplet.com 008
On the bottom tier are plenty of slots for paper clips, rubber bands, thumbtacks and clips, as well as a tape dispenser and a slot for a sticky notepad.  The second tier has more slots of different depths where you can put small notepads, a calculator, a staple remover, white-out and more.  The top tier has 4 deep slots, two of which are perfect for pens, pencils and markers, and the other two are the perfect size for scissors and a ruler.   Everything you need in one organized, easy-to-access organizer!
shoplet.com 011
 Officemate Portable Dry Erase Clipboard Case (OIC83382).
   Item number OIC83382, or the Officemate Portable Dry Erase Clipboard Case is the perfect solution for carrying paper and writing tools together with the added bonus of a Dry Erase Board with clip on the front.  It is perfect for keeping my notes, extra paper and a few writing tools with me when I go other places and need to blog.  Plus the Dry Erase Board on the front is ideal for writing reminders and quick notes. 
shoplet.com 017
The case measures approximately  12” wide, 13 1/8” tall and 2” deep, making it the perfect size to carry paper, files and more.  Although it has a handle, I love that it can fit in a pocket on my laptop case!  And you don’t have to worry about it popping open as it has a tab that snaps together to keep it firmly closed.
shoplet.com 021
My Verdict
  Both items are very well made, exceptionally handy and very affordable!  Perfect for home, school or work, both of these items, and many more can be found on Shoplet.com.  Be sure to check out the wide selection of Shoplet Promotional Products, too!  You can find everything from shirts to backpacks to mugs to calendars, many of which can be personalized to your business too!

Flower Power in 2013

BzzAgent Campaign Garnier Olia

   I am not afraid to admit it, I am not ashamed to say it…I color my hair!  And I have been coloring it for a few years now to hide a couple of pesky grays.   Eventually I will get to the point where I do not mind the grays, but for now, I plan to continue to color. 
olia 011
  
   Like many of us, I do not want to spend the money it takes to regularly have my hair professionally colored, so I do it myself in the comfort of my own home.  Because of this, I have had plenty of experience with a variety of hair color brands, and I have found that for the most part, they are all quite similar in the way they work.  Although some last longer and provide more vibrant color, I have also found that they all have the same overpowering chemical smell.  And because of those chemicals, my hair, which tends to be on the dry side anyway, always winds up even more dried out and much less shiny than usual at least for the first couple of days after I color it.
olia 002
   Recently, as a BzzAgent, I had the opportunity to try the new Garnier Olia for free as part of a BzzCampaign.  I had already seen commercials advertising the fact that this hair color uses natural flower oils as opposed to ammonia and other chemicals, so I was excited at having the chance to give it a try!
    As soon as my BzzKit arrived, I was out the door and to headed to the store with my coupon good for one free kit.  Although I knew the exact shade I wanted, I was still surprised by the wide variety of the 24 vibrant shades offered.  Despite all of the choices, I stuck with my original choice of the Dark Intense Auburn.
olia 010
    The kit came complete with everything I needed including the developer, colorant, color care conditioner, applicator, instructions and a pair of gloves.  The entire process was easy and took about 30 minutes for an all over color. I want to go ahead and say here that my husband actually did the entire process so I was able to take photos, and he did a fantastic job!
olia 026
  First you pour the developer into the applicator bottle, then you add the colorant and shake well until it is completely mixed.  Mine went from a white color to a pale reddish-orange. The first thing I noticed as soon as we began mixing the developer and the colorant was the amazing lack of smell! There was absolutely not even a hint of ammonia!
olia 030
olia 039
   Once mixed, you add it to your hair using the tip of the applicator to separate sections, then apply the color working it from the roots outward towards the tips.  At this point I was able to smell a light floral scent that made the entire experience much more pleasant! In fact, I was so surprised by the lack of a chemical smell, that at one point I actually wondered aloud if it was even working!
olia 042
   Once my hair was completely saturated, I let it sit for approximately 30 minutes.  I then massaged it through my hair a bit more right before rinsing with warm water until the water ran clear.  I next added the color care conditioner, let it sit for 2 minutes, then once again rinsed my hair.  After that, I was finished!  Simple and quick!
olia 054
  I did notice that the color was much more vibrant than others when it was completely worked into my hair.  And the texture of the dye was different as well, the more you worked it in, the more thick and sticky or tacky it became. It was definitely a lot different feeling than the thin liquid-type texture I was used to using.
olia 061
  Once I rinsed the dye, I could immediately tell a difference in the dryness of my hair even before I added the conditioner.  It was no where near as dry as it is with other coloring kits I have used!  It did, however, take a bit longer to rinse than usual until the water ran clear. After adding the conditioner, I was able to easily run a comb through it, and then once the conditioner was rinsed and my hair dried with a towel, I was impressed with how soft and smooth it felt.
  Finally the moment of truth.  I looked in the mirror and was amazed!  Not only was the color rich, vibrant and even distributed, but my hair was actually very shiny – shiny to an extent I have never before experienced with hair color!
olia 064
So my verdict ?  I love this hair color!  I am amazed at the lack of harsh chemical smell, the pleasant floral scent and the vibrancy of the final result.  Garnier Olia is my new at-home hair color brand! 
   Experience the flower power yourself!  You can find Garnier Olia at many grocery stores, drug stores and mass merchandisers, as well as at plenty of online stores!

Wordless Wednesday: Well, Almost Wordless….

The Hollow Tree in Stanley Park, Vancouver, British Columbia 2001

  I know Wordless Wednesday is supposed to be just that, wordless, but after adding these pictures I went to look up the name of the park where we visited this huge, amazing tree known as the Hollow Tree, and I came across an interesting , yet disappointing update that I want to share…

Inside The Hollow Tree

   Unfortunately, in 2006, major wind storms tore through Stanley Park and further ruined the tree’s already weakened support system.  It was listing at an 11 degree angle when the park deemed it unsafe and it was marked for removal.  The Hollow Tree quickly became the focus of a conservation society fund raiser, and in 2009 the tree was righted and braced.  Although this historical landmark has been ‘saved’, it does not look the same…

Try Before You Buy with Beauty Box Five

March’s Box

    All of my readers know I love monthly subscription box services.  I adore the idea of getting a box full of new products to try delivered directly to my door for a minimal cost.  I believe these boxes are the perfect way to try out new products before you buy.  I have many favorites, ranging from green products to pet products, and I am so excited to tell you that one of my absolute favorite beauty product subscription box services just gave me the opportunity to review more of their boxes over the next few months, Beauty Box 5!

beautyboxfive
   For those who are not familiar with Beauty Box Five, each month you will receive 4 to 5 beauty-related product samples from a wide selection of great beauty brands.  Top brands such as Everyday Minerals, Tree Hut, Blinc, Blum naturals, Tree Hut, Freeman and many more, sent right to your door for only $12 a month! 
   The samples are a fairly good size, more like a travel-sized item, so you can get plenty of uses out of each item.  This is the perfect way to try out a new product and see how it works for you!  How many times have you paid a pretty penny for a full sized, new product only to find out it wasn’t for you, leaving you with you an entire product that will never be used?  I have many times. That is just one of the reasons I like Beauty Box Five, now I can try a product and find out if I like it before I actually buy it!  


beautyboxfive3
    When you sign up for Beauty Box Five, you have the option of choosing from 3 different memberships, and depending on the length of time you subscribe, you can save even more!  The membership options are:

  • Monthly for $12, due each month
  • Quarterly for $30, due each quarter (save $6)

   The March Beauty Box Five had some really great products!  My box arrived in the mail just a few days after shipping (boxes are shipped on the 15th of each month) in the signature teal blue box.  Inside were 6 new items and a card detailing each product along with its suggested retail price.

La Fresh: Nail Polish Remover Wipe $3.99 for 6 wipes

Also available in Acetone-free.

Brazen Cosmetics: Eye shadow $7.49 0.18oz

beautyboxfive23   Made with beneficial ingredients such as minerals, oils, extracts and vitamins, Brazen Cosmetics Eye shadow comes in a great selection of unique, bold and daring, long-lasting shades.  All colors are custom-blended.  I received a sample of their eye shadow in Buzzed, a dark, mocha-brown with a satin finish that is not too matte and not too sparkly, just perfectly in-between.  This shadow is intensely pigmented, a little bit goes a long way!

Tree Hut: Moisturizing Lotion/Body Butter $6.49 9oz

beautyboxfive15   Made with certified organic Shea butter and other all- natural ingredients, this great body butter provides long lasting moisture to dry skin.  Tropical Mango Shea Body Butter has a wonderfully sweet, tropical scent, and a small amount is all you need to provide plenty of moisture to dry skin.  Tree Hut products are never tested on animals.

H2O Plus: Spa Sea Salt Body Wash  $17.00 12.5 oz.

beautyboxfive32   H2O products use marine-life science to create their line of skin-care products.  Their Sea Salt Body Wash is made with Japanese Green Tea and Provitamin B.  It has a light lather that gently cleanses your skin while leaving it smooth and moisturized.

H2O Plus: Aquafirm Eye-Lift Concentrate $38.00 0.5oz
beautyboxfive11   H2O Plus’ Aquafirm Eye Lift Concentrate is an all-in-one formula that lifts, firms, lightens, repairs and hydrates the delicate skin around your eyes.  The formula is light, and absorbs quickly.


My Verdict
   March was a wonderful month for Beauty Box Five.  I am truly impressed with each product I tried, and while I was familiar with a a few of the brands, I also discovered some new one’s whose products I enjoyed!  I still have plenty left of each “sample”, too!  As you can see from the prices, were I to have bought each of these products, I would have spent around $75 just to see if I liked the items!  With Beauty Box Five, $12 is the total cost!  An incredible deal!

Precious Personalized Presents at Posy Lane

Stephen Joseph Duffle Bag

 

   Great gifts are easy to find at Posy Lane, one of the top sites for personalized gifts for kids and adults too.  I was able to give my niece a precious Posy Lane present for her very first birthday when they sent me this cute Stephen Joseph Owl Duffle Bag.

posylane1aName blurred for safety

    A’s nursery theme is based around owls, so when I saw this on the Posy Lane site, I knew it would be perfect!  What better gift than one that has multiple uses as she grows!  And when she saw the bright pink color, with the cute polka-dotted owl, her face lit up with a beautific smile!

posylane1dName blurred for safety

   When her mommy first saw the duffle bag, she voiced the hope that she could use it as a diaper bag.  Since the inside is lined with a waterproof material and has a zippered pocket as well, I believe this will work out perfectly!  And as A gets older, it can be used to carry extra clothes and her nap mat to preschool, then her school needs for kindergarten, and even as an overnight bag!

posylane1cName blurred for safety

  Made from 100% cotton, it is extremely soft, and is machine washable.  It is very well made, and seems to be quite durable.  It measures approximately 15” long by 9” wide, making it the perfect size for all kinds of items to fit inside.   In fact, I was able to fit a special book and a large interactive toy inside as extra surprises for A with room left over!

posylane 011    The Posy Lane site is very user friendly, and lets you personalize your gift to make it uniquely yours.  Once I had chosen the duffle bag, I then was able to select the embroidery or monogram including the thread color and the type of font.  Once my order was placed, it took very little time to arrive.

posylane 002   Posy Lane also has an entire line of products that match the Stephen Joseph duffle bag including a water bottle, lunch box, a nap mat and more!  I cannot wait until Christmas so I can add a few more pieces!

posylane 003  

   Yet that is not all Posy Lane carries!  They offer a huge variety of products in all types of colors and patterns including children’s plates, Day Planners, I-Pod cases, kitchen ware, bath towel wraps, laundry bags and many more items that you can have personalized to your exact taste!

   Simply visit the Posy Lane website at http://posylane.com/.  And to keep up with all the latest products, deals and promotions be sure to follow Posy Lane on both Facebook and Twitter!
