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!).

Smile Brilliant is More Than the Name of a Company (Discount and giveaway included!)

Oral hygiene and health is very important to me, as an individual as well as a mother. I want to do all I can to prolong our smiles. Not an easy task with children, but I'm not alone. I have some help from Smile Brilliant

*Disclaimer: I was sent products free of charge in exchange for sharing my review. I was not otherwise paid or endorsed. All opinions are strictly my own.*

What is so great about Smile Brilliant? 

You may recall my past review of trying their Teeth Whitening System. Feel free to refresh your memory by clicking the blue link above. I had some amazing results with it! They really do put in the effort to make products that you will be proud to have tried out.

Smile Brilliant has a variety of products that are backed by scientific study. They seek solutions to problems that plague us all. Problems that can be pricey and uncomfortable when we have to get professional services done. Check out this infographic, for more detailed information. Smile Brilliant seeks to help everyone have a whiter, brighter smile - through products that will improve your smiles health. The benefits span more than just your oral health, however. 

Products I've tried and love

I recently reviewed their kids' Plaque Highlighters. I loved using it as my kids need to be trained to better brush their teeth. They have a tendency to miss a lot of spots. Going to the dentist is a pain for all of us because of that. 

I was recently contacted by them about doing some product reviews. I've had previous good experiences with them, so I couldn't resist. Besides, these are products that have some amazing results.

The probiotics I have tried before and absolutely loved. I have been learning that prohiotics have more benefits than just strengthening your teeth against plaque build up. It builds up your immunity as well. Then you have better breath (especially in the morning!) and better gum health. I am also happy to report that the taste is better than I expected. Most tablets are just too chalky and that covers any flavor that they might have had. These, are a wonderful pomegranate berry flavor. They also have dental probiotics for kids. They boost immunity for oral and sinus health in a natural way.

Being someone who grinds their teeth, I could, and should, be using a night guard. But I haven't put in the effort to get one. Smile Brilliant creates one specialized for your own mouth by having these kits available to make molds of your teeth. That way, it will fit like a glove while protecting your teeth! You are less likely to feel irritated by it. You don't have to pay for dental appointments either. 

I had made a video on the process of making the mold, but can't seem to locate that. So I'm showing you the finished project for now. I love that it is pliable and comes in a case. I can store it and take it on trips with me without worrying of damage. 

This Custom Night Guard System kit comes with assistance as well. Someone reaches out to you to make sure you understand the process and will also answer your questions, should you have any.  

It fits in comfortably while providing cushion between the teeth so that they are not wearing down from the pressure of each other. 

What else might interest you? 

They have the cariPRO Electric Toothbrush and a water flosser to help you with oral health and dental hygiene needs.

Want to get your own products?

Do you want to take the journey towards making your smile brilliant? How about getting your own Smile Brilliant products? Wonderful! I have great news for you. Smile Brilliant has offered my readers 20% off when you use the code foreveranerdmom20 at checkout. But they didn't stop there! They have asked me to host a giveaway as well for a 30 day supply of dental probiotics. 

Here are the rules for the giveaway:

  1. Entering is as easy as checking out the Adult Probiotics product, and then leaving me a comment below on an interesting fact you have learned! 
  2. You must be a resident in the US, UK or Canada to enter. 
  3.  My blog post must have 3+ comments to be considered a valid giveaway - so tell your friends and family to enter as well! 
  4. Winner must be 18+ years old. 
  5. Winner will be chosen 1 week after the post has gone live. I will enter the names of all those who comment in a random wheel spinner to pick from. Which means I will need to be able to message you. So leave me a way to contact you!

Giving some love to a new company!

I'm collaborating with a new business owner to get the word out about her store and why you should look into it. None of my opinions were paid for. She reached out for help and her story inspired me to write!
Her name is Megan. She is a K-12 Art Teacher that started this business with her mother. Together, they have created and launched Wild Magnolia about a month or so ago. Their styles are geared towards teen and adult women with a creative, Bohemian-type flair. If you want to read more of her story, check it out here.
There is quite the variety in the items they offer. Shirts, dresses, rompers, and pants are just the beginning. I've fallen in love with some of the jewelry pieces she has on there as well. Like these Gold Petite Drop Earring Aqua Chalcedony or this Tetris Necklace in Blue/Cyan.
Which is another thing, she makes a lot of the jewelry herself! Talk about being an accomplished lady. There are some small home accents to check out as well as some art.

If you are near Southern New Jersey or planning a trip there in April of 2018, be sure to look for her new store front! Shop in person and be sure to let her know you read about her on my blog. In the meantime, these items and these that are newest to her website. Check them out and then browse around the other things. What strikes your fancy most? Do you have any suggestions for her? 
I am a huge fan of women who start their own business, who can balance life and career with their dreams. I greatly hope to see this one aspire to the top of the totem pole in fashion!

And to make this post even sweeter, she has agreed to offer my readers a special discount! At checkout, use the code TEXASNERD25 to get 25% off your order! This deal will run through July 4th. Perfect time to grab some gear for the holiday fun!

Summer Time Fun at Schlitterbahn!

If there is one water park I love bringing the family to, it would have to be Schlitterbahn! The rides, the water, free parking, bring your picnic! Need I say more? I think I do actually. They also have great promotions. Which means a lot for families these days. Vacations can be pretty pricey. But staying at a Schlitterbahn resort doesn't have to be. Thanks to my connections with the US Family guide as a mommy blogger, I'm getting to share these deals with you and will hopefully be allowed to share a review post if we get selected to make a trip there. 
Check out the promotions they have running here:
South Padre Island
Galveston
New Braunsfels
I'd have to say that New Braunfels is my favorite! Not just because of how close it is to home, but because we each find things we enjoy there. Plus some rides connect to the river, they recycle the water and cut back on waste. 
Below is fun information that was provided on the various parks.  
Key News for Schlitterbahn:
Every park has a fact sheet on our newsroom, but here are some fast facts.
Schlitterbahn New Braunfels is our flagship park and is America's #1 waterpark for 18 years and has won awards for the best waterpark, best waterpark ride (The Master Blaster) and best new ride (Dragon's Revenge.)
Schlitterbahn has been the birthplace of nearly every waterpark ride innovation including the world's first uphill water coaster and the inland surfing ride, the Boogie Bahn.

Every park has a claim to fame:
- New Braunfels - World's longest tube ride; America's Favorite Waterpark.
- South Padre Island - World's first Transportainment system where interconnected rivers are queue lines for rider, this way you never have to leave your tube!
- Galveston - Building the world's tallest water coaster.
- Kansas City - World's tallest water slide.
- Corpus Christi - Longest river system in Texas.

Green Facts on our South Padre Beach Resort:
Ropes: Over three miles of 3-inch mooring ropes from dozens of former ships have been painstakingly wrapped around giant concrete structural poles on our Sea 4ever 10,000 square foot patio.

Green House: The retractable roof over our indoor waterpark was built from a large greenhouse - an old Schultz nursery.
Lobby Check in Counter: Built from salvaged walnut trees which were pulled from a road project in Kansas.

Parapet Walls: The hatch covers came off a famous US Troop carrier the John E. Pope and are used on parapet walls and also to make tables. Over 500 are on site.

Chandeliers: The beautiful chandeliers hanging in the Sea 4ever event patio were salvaged from an aging Vegas hotel. Our team glued shells to them and hung in the ceiling.

Waterslides: Yes, even some of the water slides were recycled. The water slides in our indoor park came from a park in Cleveland Ohio, were salvaged, refurbished, and re-installed.
Handrails: An old Dutchman Downs Stadium was the source for all the handrails.

Loblolly Pines: In 2011, a major wildfire raged through Bastrop County, Texas in September. Three separate fires started during Labor Day weekend and by the time it was controlled, it destroyed 1,691 homes and burned over 34,000 acres of land including the vast majority of Bastrop State Park's 5,900 acres of Loblolly Pines. The Lost Pines Forest, thought to have originated in or before the Pleistocene era, was also heavily impacted.
For safety, the burned pines had to be removed. These scorched trees were destined for the grinder who would have turned them into mulch. Jeff Henry, with Schlitterbahn, offered to take the fallen trees, then had them milled, beginning the process of transforming the pines from scorched wood to the most dramatic feature throughout the Schlitterbahn Beach Resort at South Padre.

FYI: You'll also find the pines all over Schlitterbahn New Braunfels - look for the pine paneling in the Riverbend cabins and the lovely furniture pieces here and there. We'll try to point them out during your tour.

Where you will find the Bastrop Pines in the South Padre Beach Resort:
- Rooms: In most rooms the cabinets, coffee tables, nightstands, and headboards are made from the Bastrop Loblolly Pines.
- Dining areas: Large tables are made from the Loblolly Pines.
- Lobby: The large tree stump tables by the doors leading to the heated pool are from the fire, as is the siding along many of the interior walls.
- External: The siding on the outside walls of the resort are made from Loblolly Pines.


Something I thought was amazing - It's The Year of Anniversaries!
World's Most Award Winning Uphill Water Coaster, The Master Blaster, turns 20: The Schlitterbahn New Braunfels park is home to a guest favorite, the world famous Master Blaster. Built in 1996, this 2.5 minute ride is over 65 feet tall and sends guests on an exhilarating ride down two, 3 story drops. It is easily the most iconic uphill water coaster in the world. Have you ridden the Master Blaster yet?

Bagblaze website review and giveaway

I was recently contacted by Bagblaze to check out their updated website and host a review.

They revamped their website and made internal changes to provide better service to their customers. They offer quality products at steep discounted rates. What makes them different from their competitors? They keep their inventory in a controlled warehouse so they have less mistakes when it comes to shipping products out. Right now they have a special running. Every new customer can get 10% off their first order.
This is a great addition since everything listed is at a discount already. I like the variety they have and I hope they can expand it to even more products. I found that I was unable to add things to my wish list though as I browsed the home page. You have to click on the listing itself to add it to your wish list or cart. And then, the only way I could get something off was if it were ordered. So after I compared the products that I saw I might be interested in, I couldn't narrow it down as I read the description of each one.

I was a little confused at first about the ordering process. I had a code for $20.00 to use as part of the review. Knowing that what I was ordering was under $20, I wasn't sure at first that the amount left over would be added to the shipping which was just $2 flat rate (SUPER CHEAP SHIPPING!). After entering my card info though, it came out of the remainder.
So be patient as you order if you get a gift card code or such. The website overall is easy to use. Everything is clearly described with as much detail as to be expected. Pictures give you a pretty good idea of what you are considering buying. 
I think it's great that the shipping is a cheap flat rate, but it takes a long wait. I ordered on June 29th. And it arrived on the 14th of July. It's your average pleather-like purse. Not much to say about the item itself. 
Time for some giveaway fun! I'm hosting a Rafflecopter contest so that one lucky winner will get a coupon code for $20 to use on the Bagblaze website. Good luck everyone!

Label Daddy labels review

Its that time of year again when getting ready for school becomes more of a priority. Granted, you don't have your child's class requirement list just yet, but that doesn't mean you can't get a head start on things you know will be on it. I know Target has some deals on Yoobi school supplies.
50% off even.
But what happens when you get those other things like backpacks and pencil boxes? Or even those lunch boxes. How do people know that those things belong to your kids?
You need to label them! Label Daddy offers a variety of packages to choose from with so many images/styles to make your labels speak of your personality. I ordered Disney's Jake and the Neverland Pirates for my oldest son.
 I love their labels. Glossy, easy to use, durable, clear to understand, and they often have discount promotions going on. Plus they are washable!

Its officially SUMMER!!!

I don't about where you live, but it has been feeling summer for a little while now. Texas heat has settled heavy and dry with a strong drought. We carry water everywhere. We bring along the sunscreen because we know that sun is burning straight through us just by walking outside.

Coobie bra review and discount information

Being a part of the US Family Guide reviewers group, I was given the chance to review 2 bras from Coobie. I got the Coobie Bra Scoopneck and the Coobie Bra V-Neck Lace Trim.
These are seamless bras that are incredible. First, they are so comfortable! If you have ever had the pleasure of wearing seamless panties, you know what I'm talking about. They breathe and move with you. There are no under wires to poke you. This is a down side to it if you are like me - flat chested. I do normally buy push ups with padding. So if you are like me, you might want to order extra padding at least. Or find the one with the most push-up potential.
Seamless means it's high in comfort. It slides right on and off. Doesn't feel constricting at all. I personally love how well it breathes. I work a lot and absolutely hate sweating. This alleviates that. The straps come open in the front for easy adjustment.

Forgive the lack of make up and attire. At 2:40 AM, I'm not fully chugging along. But I wanted to show you what it looks like under regular clothing.
And since I was going to work, I thought that testing the bra in a high activity setting would make it a more thorough review. As women, we tend to be on-the-go and comfort during those moments is key. This bra moves with you. I didn't feel the need to adjust "the girls" as the bra stayed in place. It was all day comfort I could appreciate and not think twice about. I also like that they can be worn visible with another shirt and not look like you are showing off your bra. I don't know about you, but sometimes I buy a bra that looks beautiful and feel like its a waste that no one but me sees it. Which is why I don't buy Victoria Secret bras.... But then there are times, when your clothing shifts and your bra shows. You won't want an embarrassing wardrobe malfunction moment. With a Coobie, you won't have that. It looks natural.
There are many styles and colors to choose from. They also have other products available. These bras are made to fit almost every body without needing to read sizes. Sorta like a one-size-fits-all. Although they do have a special size for the full size ladies.
