BasToy Photo Acrylic Review (Discount included)

I posted about BasToy Photo and his latest endeavor of selling his prints. Well, I have since purchased one of the acrylic prints. Now, it's time to review! 

As I mentioned previously, he is selling 3 types of his prints. You can get the regular print which comes on high quality card stock, the holographic prints which have a nice sheen to them, or the acrylic prints which don't even need a frame. I chose acrylic. Although I have to admit that some of the prints in holographic are amazing! Check out the Joker one to see what I mean in his video.

I love the anime Attack on Titan. And my all-time favorite hero is Mikasa. So I had to get that one! 

Ordering prints is incredibly easy. You choose the print, select the type of print, and add to cart. I placed my order on August 15th, and it shipped out the 22nd! Two days later, it was on my doorstep. 

I'm sharing my unboxing video here. Just know, I mistakenly said BasToy. It is BasToy Photo! I wanted you to see how well they package it for the trip to your home. 

The quality is amazing. Clear, shiny finish. White, shiny backing. Easy to hang with command strips. No frames necessary. Here you can see the print on the left with a framed poster on the right.

Now you can get your own! Using the code NERDUNI10, by August 31st, you can get 10% off your order. He has even added more to his selection. What do you think? Let me know in comments below! Remember, Christmas is coming! And nerds like cool things too.

Don't forget to check out BasToy Photo too. Let me know what you think is his coolest work! https://bastoyphoto.com/

Geek Art Takes the Nerdom to Whole New Levels with BasToy Photo

You know how much I love my miniatures. How I love taking pictures of my dolls and minis anywhere and everywhere. I'm not alone in this endeavor. However, my photos can't hold a candle to a toy photographer that I have known for many years now. Alx Basurto (nope, didn't misspell his amazing name!), has been building quite the reputation for his toy photography skills.

He created BasToy Photo to capture toys in fun ways after starting his blog (which I also enjoyed reading). I've enjoyed following his Instagram account as his skills in art are truly envy-worthy. Some of the best have been of Dr. Who figures and Link from Legend of Zelda. Would you believe this photo is not artwork, but a toy that was creatively caught on camera?

But he doesn't stop there!

He is now launching a new product line that I, for one, am excited to see! I only recently learned about something called acrylic photos. And today, I'm also sharing that there are holographic photos. Alx has taken his pictures and made them available to purchase on his website. You can choose between the 3 options: acrylic, holographic, and regular prints. He shows them off in this latest video of his. 


One more thing...

Okay, you know I'm stickler about proper spelling. And even more so when it concerns my favorite characters. So just in case you are like me, I need to tell you that Alx is very much a cool nerd like us. He deliberately misspelled some of the names on the website due to copyright and trademark rules. I had to be reminded, as my indignation left my legal reasoning in the dust. I don't want any of you to fall into that and think this guy isn't on the up and up with geekery and nerdom! 

Prices start at $20. As he explained in his video, all types come in 2 sizes; 13x19 or 18x24. These are great sizes if you are a poster person like me. I have posters of all kinds about the house walls. Some are harder than others to get frames for. So I appreciate this sizing that he offers. The holographic is amazing! I think seeing it on the Joker was perfection. I asked him about hanging the acrylic though. See, I love to hang things up and show them off. Especially now that we are in our own home. With the acrylic, you just need command strips. Which we tend to keep on hand anyhow. You could frame them if you want. But as he mentioned, they come with that naturally 'wet' look as it is. So it is great bonus to me. However much I liked the Joker holographic, I'm getting one of the acrylics (for now). I have chosen the Mikasa print. She is a my all-time hero in the Attack on Titan series. But I think we might have to go back and get others later down the road... *hint hint* in case the husband is reading this.

How to Follow, Search for, or Contact BasToy

Alx has created many ways for you to follow him. He genuinely does want to hear from fans as well as prospective clients. So don't hesitate to reach out! He is up for commissions and for doing collaborative works.

Shhh something special is happening!

I also want to let you in on a secret... ready for it? Here goes...

He's giving you, my readers, a discount! How does 10% off your order sound? So, here is what I need you to do. I need you to watch for another blog post that is coming up soon. I will be receiving and reviewing one of his amazing photos. I'll post all about it. And I need a favor. I need all your friends to read these posts. To like, share, and follow this guy. He has worked hard to make something unique and fun. I think it would be a shame for it to stay in the shadows, don't you? In exchange, here is the information you need for your amazing deal. 

The code is NERDUNI10. You get 10% off your purchase. It is good up until August 31st (so don't wait too long!).

Silk'n Infinity Hair Removal Review

 Hair removal can be such a pain. Literally! But it doesn't have to be. It can be expensive as well. But it doesn't have to be. No more need to get razors, professional treatments, waxing - nothing! There is a device that can provide painless hair removal that is more permanent than anything else. 

*Disclaimer: I was sent this product free of charge to try out and host a party with. I was not otherwise paid or endorsed. All opinions are my own.*

Silk'n is an amazing company. They have brought the luxury spa treatments to the privacy of your home. This is the second time I have hosted an Infinity party for them, third party I've hosted for a product for them. I love them! 

Who is Silk'n?

You ever heard the movie quote, "See a need, fill a need"? Well, these doctors and scientists, who normally created products for spas and salons, got to thinking. There are so many people who can't afford to go to these places. They can't afford to or don't have the time to. But we all want to look our best, right? So how can they reach those in need? Silk'n was born. They saw a need, got together, and created the perfect solutions. They came up with simpler, smaller, affordable devices for home use. And perfect for pandemic shut downs, don't you think?

How does this work?

Shave first, then treat. Just until the treatments get started. Once you get through the initial treatments, you will get to the point that you won't need shave anymore and treatments will drop to every two weeks. By the 3rd - 4th treatment is when you will start to notice bald spots. Most people see full results by their 8 - 10th treatment. You have to be consistent, however, to get results. The Infinity device is super simple to use. Completely painless. The warm sensation is actually nice, I think. I created this video back when I first got the device and thought I would share it with you again!

It doesn't require growing the hair out long and then laser removal. Or hot wax. You shave before the treatment, wipe the area clean and dry, use the device (moving it after each flash of light) and finish by lathering on lotion. Voila! Silky smooth results. It works on facial hair below the cheek bones, upper lip, chin, arms, underarms, legs, and bikini line. There are 5 adjustable energy levels. It uses galvanic energy to open the pores. Then optical energy destroys the roots. And finally, the pores are temporarily kept opened to allow moisturizer to fill in for smooth, softer and stubble free skin. The light converts to heat quickly and is therefore not on your skin long. This light will not flash in open air. Only once against the skin. Which is protection for the eyes. The treatment surface is pretty large at 1.7cm. They also have the safety skin color sensor. If you are putting it on a setting that is too high for your skin tones, it won't work. No refills required! It comes with a lifetime of treatments. Even if you share it with someone else. This is the most permanent option available. After the 10th treatment, you will not have to shave again. Just do upkeep treatments every couple of weeks to keep the hair from growing back.

They keep working to be better!

This newer device has been updated to treat darker skin tones better. Might take more treatments, but it will work! I love this. They are truly innovating further to be more inclusive of additional skin tones. 

Another addition I'm glad to know about, would be the ability to use this device on smaller beauty marks (dark spots on the skin). There were concerns before that you couldn't use it on moles and such spots on the skin. Well, some updates are that it is perfectly safe and capable of being used on smaller ones. Large spots, however, you still want to cover up with a tissue and work around. 

They advise you not to use this device if you have metal within the body (after all, you are using heat). So pacemakers and such make this device something you won't want. They do advise that pregnant and breastfeeding women not use it. Not because it is known to be unsafe, but because they refuse to do clinical tests on such women and therefore cannot guarantee your safety. Safe is in their ACES motto. And they take that very seriously. 

What else should you know? 

Silk'n has a promise that is very important. ACES - Affordable, Convenient, Effective and Safe. Using this device saves you thousands of dollars on spa treatments, which makes it affordable. It provides freedom from shaving, waxing and laser treatments. No more shaving creams, razors, wax treatments, or spa treatments. You buy the device once and use it whenever, wherever you want. The convenience is astounding. I prefer showering and then treating right before bed. It is highly effective in hair removal, so you don't have to do it all the time. Once every 2 weeks! Safety features keep it from burning your skin or causing other damage. You can't blind yourself with it and it won't work if the setting doesn't match the skin pigment. 

Don't use it after sun exposure as your skin is more sensitive. Or on tattoos or dark moles as the pigment is darker and will darken further. Don't use it on the genital areas as they are more sensitive. Don't use it if you have a pacemaker, are pregnant or breastfeeding. These last things are simply because they have not run clinical tests. It doesn't work so well on peach fuzz. It looks for pigment in the hair follicles. So if the color range isn't right, it won't know there is hair to treat.

Want to get yours?

Because I was a super host and had a party for them, my readers get a real treat! Use the code - Infinityset to get 30% off of your own order Infinity Bundle. As an added bonus, they will throw in more free gifts as well! Like a pedi device! The Infinity device alone, is normally priced at $399. This deal is good from March 5-31 - so don't wait too long! I also suggest signing up for their emails. They are constantly having sales. Like the latest one for Valentine's Day. 

My final thoughts on the Infinity.

Shaving is a hassle. It is time consuming. It can be painful and unsightly. But the majority of alternative methods are worse. The Infinity is safe. Affordable in the long run. And just easier! I really love it. And I think you will too. It comes in the perfect case too, so it will stay nice. Even better, this can be taken on a trip anywhere thanks to the plug adapter. I really do think this is the way to go for long term hair removal care.

Growing Hair the FAST Way! (Discount included)

Time for another party through my association with Tryazon! This time, it comes in two parts. And it is hosted by Nisim.
*Disclaimer: I was sent this party pack for the sole purpose of hosting two parties and sharing reviews of the products with other participants. I was not otherwise paid or endorsed. All opinions are mine and my party guests alone.*

Everyone has moments in their life when they wish their hair would grow faster. Whether you got a bad hairdresser who butchered it too short or you got it cut, but within a week or two you wish it were long again. Whatever the reason, you start trying to will it to grow faster. Or you look for things you can use that will enable just that. I used biotin in the past. It is a supplement you can get in the vitamin section at local grocers or supplement shops. It also helps nails grow, however. I'd take it, if I can ever remember to. You know what I don't forget to do? Wash my hair. And wouldn't it be so easy and amazing if all I have to do to get my hair to grow faster is wash it? Well, I may have just such an option.
What is it?

Nisim came out with Fast. It is a shampoo and conditioner duo that is designed to speed up the growth process. Even better is that it comes without the addition of sulfates. They also have the hair masque which is more like a side conditioner you can choose to use. It is recommended for those with dryer or damaged hair.
How does it work?

You wash your hair as though it were your normal products. That is it! Perfect for those who don't have time for adding to their daily routines. It is packed with nutrients that promote healthier hair growth without sulfates and parabens. Your hair is nurished safely, causing it to grow faster, naturally.
What are the initial thoughts?

My initial "party" was to contact my guests as a group and let them know what my party was about, who my sponsors were and to make sure they each received products to try. Each pack came with shampoo and conditioner. Each of those are enough to last 4-6 weeks. After that time, we will reconvene and remeasure our hair. I was given 3 shirts to help us measure with. Sadly, not everyone could fit the sizes they came in, so we improvised a bit. But this will allow us to keep track of how well our hair grows out. And at the next party, I'll be handing out prizes.
So far, I have only heard from one guest.
Robin's response to her first wash was, "I used it this morning. It has a mild scent, which I like. The conditioner made my hair real smooth."
I'd have to agree with her on this. I've been using it for a week now and have noticed a difference in the soft texture my hair has taken on. I also like the mild scent. It is great for those who have allergies or are more sensitive to smells. I think of it as being more universal in that aspect. I also love the detangler in it. I have been brushing my hair way easier than ever before!
Andrea and Kristina both thought the scent was odd. They thought it seemed "medicated" and would have preferred something more feminine.

Here is what we started with!

As you will see, most of us have longer hair already. I know for sure that I'm not done growing mine out though. I can't wait to see how long it will get in the next several weeks. I'll have another post at that time. So keep watching the blog!
It is all about the hair! Even if you don't want to grow your hair faster, they have other products available. So be sure to check them out and let me know what you think! If you want to order some to try for yourself, use the code TRYAZON at checkout for a discount!

Let's Make Boobs Easier! (+discount and giveaway!)

Fashion should be comfortable. And easy. Especially if you are like me. I don't like being uncomfortable, no matter how gorgeous I look. I also don't like flashing my "headlights". I'm a human Popsicle, so just imagine me in a cold room. No one needs to see my perkiness! That is where Boob-eez comes in to help! 
*Disclaimer: I was sent these products by Boob-eez free of charge in exchange for a review. I was not otherwise paid or endorsed. All opinions expressed are my own.* 

Where did Boob-eez get its beginning?

Boob-eez was created by a young girl coming to terms with her body. She wanted to make boobs "easier". Let's face it, we ladies have all had those moments. In my younger years, I started wearing only padded bras to avoid.... pointiness from showing. But of course those bras are all underwire ones. Which is not always very comfortable. 

In my later years, I now avoid wearing bras unless I know I need to go somewhere or I know I'm going to have someone stopping by. Mostly because of my back pains being so fickle. More than once have I opened the door to receive a package or because the neighbors came knocking - just to have to keep my arms folded to hide that undignified fact that I was missing an undergarment. Oh that I had the Headlight Hiders on hand for those days.... 

I have always avoided wearing those camisole tops with built in bras. At least, I wouldn't wear them unless I wore other shirts with them. Or even wore an actual bra underneath... Sports bras, while working out, have to be worn only at home. All because I can't have my headlights showing. 


We have all been there at some point. 

And that is where this young girl brought us a revolutionary product. She designed the Headlight Hiders that are better than stick-ons. More comfortable. Dependable. And best of all? Invisible! They are made to lay flush with your skin so that they don't show. There are two sizes to choose from: 6 or 8CM. 

They fit perfectly! Went on easily, didn't peel off as easily (which I was happy for) and laid flush so that you couldn't see them. With these, I can wear my workout bra without worrying about an outline. I can wear more form fitting tops without the need of a bra. When would I want this most of all? How about the days when my back pain has me not wanting to wear a bra at all! 
But she didn't stop there. She created bras and tops too. The bandeau, bralette and stick-on bra are to give you coverage from underneath. While the cami, racerback layering tank and tube top keep it smooth, but fashionable on the outside! I couldn't believe how soft and comfortable they felt. I could live in them and never wear anything else... 
I really enjoyed the racerback bralette. The material is incredibly soft. Even more so than the Barely There brand I've tried before. It does not hug too tightly, but stretches perfectly with me. Even on my worse days, I think I can manage wearing this one. 
The front-to-back cami is of the same material as the bralette. And I love it! My personal style wouldn't mind it being slightly bigger, though it would work under a loose top just fine. I wear confidence as boldly as I can, but tight-fitting tops still give me pause as I try to loose the baby blubber. This would be the best tank to wear for working out, sleeping - everything, every day! 

I sent the lace back bandeau to my fashionista sister. I love getting her feedback on things like this.  She's in her late teens and is quite the diva, so she knows all about style.

These products were all One Size. I'm currently and XL (to give you an idea of the models size). 

Where can you find them near you? 

I was surprised to find 3 stores here in Texas that offered Boob-eez products. I think more stores need to carry them. You can see where they are offered near you, by clicking on the Locator tab

Ready to win??

I have two great ways for you to enjoy your very own Boob-eez products. They are partnering with me to host a giveaway of 3 pairs of Boob-eez products. They are also allowing you all to get 20% off your entire order!  The code to use for the discount is: FOREVER2018 and is good all the way until December 21, 2018! So be sure to check them out. Especially if you need gifts for the younger ladies in your life. These are perfect, practical and inspirational. Good luck!

Label Daddy review

School has started. Each of my children has labels on their backpacks and pencil boxes. I'm determined to stay organized and keep their things recognizable by anyone at school as belonging to my children and not free game. Even better is that I got them from Label Daddy!
Washable labels that peel easily and stick strongly. They have made it so much easier for me. Plus they came in character packs my kids love.
I usually go with the medium packs. They have just the right sizes to label everything I send with the kiddos. Save 25% on Label Daddy name labels for Back to School -Use code USFG25 Best deal! Just go here
Plus you can join their email list or follow them on Facebook to keep up with all their latest promotions
Label Daddy makes it simple and fast for those of us who need our time for other important tasks. There are a couple things that bother me. Even with a promo code that made my order free, I had to submit credit card information. And even though I clicked the submit button for the promo code, it wouldn't update the amount until I went to the next part of the ordering process. Just keep these in mind. And every time I finish my order completely, it takes me to a 404 error page. But the order did submit. Always check your email account before trying to place another order!
