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. These books deliver everything a student needs to know to ace Math, Science, English Language Arts, World History, and American History.

They also provide a model for teaching students how to effectively write and organize notes of their own – an important skill they’ll take into their high school years and beyond

 

Big Fat Notebook Series for Students Review & Giveaway

 

The pages of the Big Fat Notebook are colorful and easy to read. Here are a few sample pages. After reading a section, there are questions for the student to answer. The answers are on the next page, not visible when doing the questions, making it easy for the student to check their answers.

 

Big Fat Book Series Review Giveaway

 

The drawings in the Big Fat Notebooks not only illustrate the lesson, but are fun to look at.

 

Big Fat Book Series Review Giveaway

 

I like that the books give examples while covering the material. I think that makes it easier for the student to remember the material.

The Big Fat Notebooks retail for $14.95 each. I think that is a great price for the size and quality of the books. The books are available on Amazon, the pictures below are linked. Simply click on the pictures for more information about a book, or to purchase.

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.

Oreo Churros Review & Giveaway

July 27, 2016 by Linda @ Linda's Lunacy

 

 

My kids are big Oreo fans. You won’t believe how fast a package of Oreos can disappear in my house! That’s why I was excited to introduce my family to the new Oreo Churros.

 

Crispy on the outside, warm and soft on the inside, Oreo Churros are a great snack or dessert for those days you just want something sweet and chocolate.

 

Oreo Churros

 

Oreo Churros are in the freezer section of the store. They have to be cooked before eating. Just ask my son who tried to eat one straight from the freezer, thinking it was supposed to be eaten cold. lol Oreo Churros can be cooked in the oven, the toaster oven, or in the fryer. I chose to bake mine in the oven.

 

After cooking the Oreo Churros, you can roll them in this amazing Oreo crumb sugar coating that is included. You can also eat them without the sugar coating. We liked them better with it.

 

Oreo Churros

 

You need to roll the churros in the Oreo sugar coating as soon as they come out of the oven or fryer. If you let them cool the coating won’t stick to the churros very well. I tried to use tongs, but it’s better to just get in there with your hands and roll them.

Oreo Churros

 

Cooking the Oreo Churros in the fryer will produce a crispier churro than baking in the oven. The ones I baked weren’t too crispy.

 

Oreo Churros

 

Inside, the churros have a cake like consistency. Then you get to the cream in the middle. yum! So you have all these textures going on. All with the great Oreo taste. Kids and adults alike will like these new Oreo Churros. My family did!
