Canvas Factory Photo Canvas Review & Giveaway

March 2, 2017 by Linda @ Linda's Lunacy

 

I, like most people, like to display family pictures. Sometimes, you have a great picture that deserves to be set apart from the rest. That’s what I love about photo canvas prints. They make the great pictures extra special. I was recently able to order a photo canvas print from the Canvas Factory to review.

 

Canvas Factory Photo Canvas Review & Giveaway

 

The Canvas Factory has a simple mission – to make online photo printing easy and affordable for everyone. I found their website very easy to use. I simply uploaded my picture, then chose the size & shape I wanted. You can upload pictures from your computer, Facebook, Instagram, Dropbox or Flickr. They accept png, jpg, gif, bmp, & tif files. They make it really easy to do!

 

There are many options to choose from. Photo canvas prints come in several different sizes in square, rectangular, and panoramic pictures. I chose the 16×20 portrait size.You can also choose how you want the edges finished, as well. I chose to wrap the picture around the sides.

I was really excited when my photo canvas print was delivered! It came wrapped in plastic and packaged in cardboard. The front of the package had overlapping flaps, so be careful when cutting the tape because your canvas print is right underneath it.

My photo canvas print is awesome! The 16×20 size is perfect for hanging in any room. This picture is a picture of the actual photo canvas print hanging on the wall.

The printing on the cavas is very well done. Here’s a close up of the canvas print. Up close, you can see the canvas. The weave is so close, that when you stand back a few feet to look at the canvas, you can’t see the weave.

I had a great experience ordering my photo canvas print. The ordering process was very smooth. They have a fast turn around. I ordered it one day, and it shipped the next.

 

The only con that I experienced is that there is no way to edit your pictures on the website. I recommend enlarging your pictures and checking them for imperfections before uploading to the website. This is especially important if you are using an older picture, like I did. My picture was scanned into the computer. There was a white spot on my picture that wasn’t supposed to be there, but was not noticeable unless it was enlarged. So there was a white spot on my print. After receiving my print, I checked the picture on my computer, and when enlarged, the white spot is there. This was totally my fault, not the company’s. We were able to touch up the white spot so it is not noticeable in the print now. So check your pictures, especially your older, scanned pictures, before uploading.

These photo canvas’s made great gifts, too! I had this one made to give my mother for Mother’s Day. It came out so great I didn’t want to wait to give it to her. She loves it! She’s been showing it to everyone that comes in the house, telling them how much she loves it.

I love to review homeschool curriculum. The books I’m going to tell you about now aren’t just for homeschoolers! They are for all students, no matter where they go to school.

 

The Big Fat Notebook series of books are study guides for middle school students that focuses on the five core subjects. The Big Fat Notebook series makes studying cool.

Trekz Titanium Headphones Review & Giveaway

August 13, 2016 by Linda @ Linda's Lunacy

*This post contains affiliate links.

My family can go through headphones like you would not believe. Well, if you have kids, then you will believe it! They always some how manage to break the wires and rip the ear piece apart. And then, oh my!, I get “I didn’t hear you” all the time! I was happy to receive AfterShokz Trekz Titanium sport headphones. They do away with all my pet peeves about headphones. And they offer so much more!

AfterShokz

 

Trekz Titanium are wireless, open ear sport headphones that use bone conduction to transmit the audio waves  to the inner ears through the skull, bypassing the eardrums completely. These headphones are placed on your cheekbones, not in the ear canal. That means you can still hear what is going on around you, while you are listening to music, talking on your phone, etc.

Trekz headphones

 

Bone conduction is not something we hear about very often. This graphic shows the difference in how the sound waves are transmitted with bone conduction and air conduction.

 

how bone conduction works

 

The Trekz Titanium Bone Conduction Headphones come complete with User Guide,  Warranty Card,  Fitbands to adjust the head size, charging cord, ear plugs, and carrying bag. The ear plugs are for situations where it is safe for you to block out the ambient sound, such as on planes, trains, etc.

 

Trekz headphones

 

The Trekz Titanium headphones are study and well made. The headphones are flexible, so they are easy to put on. These open ear sport headphones were designed with the sports person in mind. Open ear headphones made to ensure safety, perfect for runners, cyclists, hikers and more They are lightweight and sweat resistant. Trekz headphones work via Bluetooth to connect to your cell phone or other devices. No wires to get in your way!

 

Trekz headphones

 

When I first tried them on, they felt a little weird. My family had the same first feelings. After we had them on for a couple of minutes though, we realized how comfortable they are! They fit different than any headphones you have ever tried! The band of the headphones goes behind your head, down towards the neck. Nothing goes in the ear canal. Rather the headphones sit in front of the ear on the cheekbone.

 

trekz headphones

 

The headphones transmit sound perfectly, with no distortion of any kind that I noticed. When I had them paired with my cell phone listening to music, phone calls would ring in the head phones. The headphones have a microphone so you can use them while talking on the phone. The Trekz headphones feature dual noise canceling microphones that exclude surrounding noise, effectively enhancing speech.

Charging the Trekz headphones is easy. Plug the headphones into your computer using the included cord. The headphones charge fully in 1 1/2 hours. A single charge will last for 6 hours of music and calls. You can also do a partial charge if you need the headphones quicker.

Automatic Touchless Soap Dispenser Review & Giveaway

July 17, 2016 by Linda @ Linda's Lunacy

*This post contains an affiliate link

 

I don’t know about your family, but my family sure can make a mess with the soap in the bathroom. I have tried everything to cut down on the mess and soap waste.  Different styles of soap dishes, different style pump bottles, and even a manually operated wall mounted dispenser. That thing sure was hard to refill!

 

I have now found a soap dispenser that really works. The Automatic Adjustable Soap Dispenser from ToiletTree Products. ToiletTree Products is a leading designer and manufacturer of innovative bath products.

 

Automatic Touchless Soap Dispenser Review & Giveaway

 

 

This Automatic Touchless Soap Dispenser features a drip-free design that prevents messy counter tops. Simply put your hand under the dispenser and the perfect amount of soap will be dispensed. No dirty, germy hands all over the soap or the pump bottle. The soap dispenser has 5 settings to choose from, so you can easily adjust the amount of soap being dispensed.

The unit holds up to 500ml, approximately 16 ounces, of liquid soap and runs on 4 AA batteries. You can use the dispenser for lotion, too. The automatic touchless soap dispenser is very easy to fill. The top of the dispenser twists off and has a wide opening for pouring more liquid soap in.

 

 

Automatic Touchless Soap Dispenser Review & Giveaway

 

 

The Automatic Touchless Soap Dispenser does have a modern look to it. I think it blends well with my beach themed bathroom.

Automatic Touchless Soap Dispenser Review & Giveaway

 

I love that this soap dispenser is so easy to fill. I love that I can control how much soap is dispensed. I love that it is touchless. No one should touch it except for me when I fill it.

PerfectLinens Toastmaster Flannel Sheets Review & Giveaway

February 26, 2016 by Linda @ Linda's Lunacy

 

I recently received a set of PerfectLinens’ Toastmaster flannel sheets to review. PerfectLinens have 30 years experience supplying sheets to the biggest retailers. They don’t sell any other products. They specialize in sheets.

 

PerfectLinens test for the most comfortable sheets. Using instruments and analysis like Nike and NASA, they are unique with their novel emphasis on objective research.

 

Sheets change with usage so we retest after multiple launderings.  We evaluate how each sheet feels over it’s lifetime, saving money and eliminating shopper frustration.

 

sheets

 

The sheets come in the form of a cube, inside a zippered vinyl bag. That makes it convenient to store the sheets for the summer. Just place in the zippered bag to keep them fresh and dust free until you are ready for them again. The care instructions are on the paper insert, shown above. Easy to keep in the cube to refer to them year after year. The sheets would make a great gift, too!

 

 

sheets

 

The Toastmaster flannel sheets are so soft and warm. I love flannel sheets. I use them at least 3 seasons out of the year. I have been known to use them in the summer, too. That air conditioning can feel a little chilly sometimes! These Toastmaster flannel sheets are literally the softest I have ever used. It’s so warm and comforting to snuggle down into these sheets after a long, tiring day.

 

sheets

 

Toastmaster sheets are available in 14 different colors. I chose Chocolate. The color in my photographs isn’t true to what the color looks like in person. Here is a color sample from the PerfectLinens website. This color is true to what it looks like in person.

 

sheet color sample

 

As everyone knows, sheets change with use. PerfectLinens retests after multiple launderings.  They evaluate how each sheet feels over it’s lifetime, saving money and eliminating shopper frustration. Shoppers select from a curated selection of the most comfortable sheets.  No more searching through hundreds of sheets on multiple websites.

 

If you would like to place an order, use this discount code  Lunacy15  for 15% off all orders on the PerfectLinens website! PerfectLinens offers a 45-night LOVE IT (use or abuse, we’ll accept the return) free-shipping-both-ways satisfaction guarantee.
