Happy Halloween!!!

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!! 

I hope you all have fun out there today whether it be trick or treating or just hanging out with your friends! I know I saw a bunch of kids dressed up already earlier on this afternoon and they looked great! What adorable and innovative ideas have you come up with this year for costumes? I think my favorite one that I've seen so far was a full body dragonish dinosaur suit...just too cute!


I, unfortunately, have a very busy week of exams so I can't have any fun at all today. But, I'll have fun through everyone else! So, play safe and have a great time! I have several reviews lined up and I'll have them up soon. 

Until next time,

Shutterfly Holiday Card Review

As I was flipping through the various Christmas card designs at Shutterfly, I found it hard to pick which one was my favorite design. Instead, I've narrowed it down to several of my favorite choices. I loved how they had a range of designs from simplistic with just one photo to several photos. I especially enjoyed how they had all sorts of cards, some fun, some elegant, and honestly, if I had a choice, I'd get some of each kind!


1) Mod Snowflakes Christmas Card -I love the bright colors on this one, it just makes it look fun and I can't resist it! The only thing for me though, is that I have a story I have in mind that I'd like to put on my card so the one picture option may not be for me. But still, colors and snowflakes all adds up to a funky card.

2) Seasonal Chic Holiday Card -This one is just simple and elegant, a bit more conservative and would definitely be a possible choice for family and friends!

3) Or if you want to create a story like me, Shutterfly offers various holiday story cards. These were a couple of my favorites. I loved how these two designs allow you to use many pictures and the vibrant colors were a bonus!

Shutterfly is an awesome idea for adding that personalized touch to your Christmas and holiday cards at affordable prices. The best news is that Shutterfly is offering 20% off all holiday cards at the moment!

CSN Stores and Caddis Nuzzle Nest Dog Bed Review & Upcoming Giveaway!

Remember about a week ago when I said I was going to have an upcoming review and giveaway with CSN stores? Here's the review part! The giveaway part is still coming up so keep posted.


My experience with CSN Stores was absolutely wonderful; they had great customer service and they were very much willing to accommodate me and my needs. The selection itself was also amazing; I couldn't believe how much time I would spend poring over each part of the site trying to figure what I should get and review. I need so much in my new place and with the hospital hours taking up the majority of my time,  I really don't have time to go out and shop.  For example, I was on call these past 2 weekends, effectively putting me at the hospital for 26 days straight...can you imagine that!?? It really explains my bare apartment! 

 

I was torn between trying to buy furniture, cleaning tools, kitchen supplies and basic stuff for my baby! I wanted this vacuum cleaner so that cleaning up the apartment would be easy... I wanted these gorgeous Le Creuset stoneware for cooking and baking in the oven... I wanted the knife sets.... In short, I pretty much wanted everything! :) It was a terrible decision to make...


In the end, I decided to get something for my baby...It was the Caddis Nuzzle Nest Dog Bed in Navy.  I placed and got my order within a week. Funny thing is, when I went out to greet the UPS guy, I brought the baby out with me and she was instantly all over the box being the curious pup she always is!  Once I pried the bed out of the box, she immediately started using it as a trampoline! Jumping on and then off of it in the most ridiculous way! I don't think she had realized at that point that it was a bed yet. I quickly popped it into her crate and she followed in so quickly, I barely had time to move my hands... And this is the havoc that broke out in the next several minutes...

LOL!! Just kidding! ;) Within the 10 minutes that I had received the package, she had already fallen asleep on it! I imagine it must've been very comfortable as she loves being in there and bringing her toys onto her bed to play. I really am glad I chose this item out of all the ones I really wanted! I had chosen the Caddis Nuzzle Nest Dog Bed because of its strong sales points! The sherpa fabric overtop was just so soft and comfortable and I loved the fact that you can just take the cover off and throw it in the washer and dryer should any "accidents" happen or if it gets dirtied! Great product all around. The only complaint I have is that the sherpa seems to come off but that's also a combination of my baby biting and scratching but it'd be nice if it was more durable... and my only other complaint is that my baby likes being on it so much that she loves staying in there even when she's not sleeping! Its definitely made her crate a much more homely place for her. A solid 4.5 stars out of 5. I would definitely recommend this for others with dogs.


Bottomline, CSN stores was great for getting everything I need and with their free shipping offered on many products, it was a great deal. I don't have time to go out and they offered the perfect solution and their customer service was so on the ball that I wouldn't hesitate to work with them again!  Another 4.5 stars out of 5!


I hope you've enjoyed reading my review of CSN Stores and Caddis Nuzzle Nest Dog Bed Review. Coming up shortly will be the continuation as a giveaway from CSN Stores!
