~Review~ ABC Train Decal

~I received this for my honest review, all opinions are 100% my own.~

We love wall decals. Who doesn't love something that is inexpensive and easy to remove when you want a change. My son loves trains and he is now learning his ABC's. He is two and so I knew this was the perfect age for this ABC Train Decal. So I got one for his bedroom.

The decal itself is very easy to install. You need to go slow but peel off, then press where you want it to be. Smooth with the included plastic tool (That's awesome). Next slowly peel off the outside layer smoothing as you go. Make sure to take it slow and steady with this part. After you do the train you will do the same with the letters.

I love that you have your choice from a ton of colors and fonts for the train, smoke and lettering. You can pretty much match it to any color scheme or room style. I chose a Dark Blue because my son collects Thomas the Train and I knew it would match. It arrive in a tube with the train, lettering and a small sample. Ours was an adorable owl. I actually am going to use that in the kitchen if my daughter doesn't steal it.

The only downfall I can see to this particular decal is that it is not reusable. It is fully removable though and will last for years! You can get one of your own on aluckyhorseshoe Etsy webpage.

~Review~ Chalkboard Labels by Cestari Kitchen

~I received these for my honest review, all opinions are 100% my own.~

I love labels, and use them all the time. Normally I slave away making fabric one's and sewing or gluing them on. This takes ages, especially for large projects. So when I was asked to review these Chalkboard Labels by Cestari I knew this would be such a time saver.

These are just so easy. Use your chalk marker (or chalk) and write on a label. Then peel and stick where ever you want it. Don't have a chalkboard marker? Cestari will give you one when you buy the labels FREE! The marker has a very fine tip. It doesn't smear, drip or streak. Yes! They are erasable also. Just use a damp cloth to wipe off. Even better, you can use the Cestari Chalk Pen on glass, mirrors, vinyl, etc.

This Chalkboard Labels by Cestari set includes 52 labels in a few different sizes. This makes them good for any size project from Mason Jars, to drawers, to note's for your kids. Did I mention that they are reusable? You can remove them by heating them up and peeling off, then place where you want them. So if you stick them on crooked the first time, no problem. I love that they have a shaped edge and are not just square, so much prettier.

You can buy your own set of Chalkboard Labels by Cestari Kitchen on Amazon. Don't forget your free Cestari Chalk Pen. The details are on the page.

~Review~ Gurin Digital Kitchen and Bathroom Scales

~I received this for my honest review, all opinions are 100% my own.~

The Gurin Touch Professional Digital Kitchen Scale is such a nice looking quality scale. My husband is a chef so it has really been useful for him in our kitchen at home. He found the scale to be quite handy with grams, ounces and pounds. It's compact and thin size makes it versatile and easy to store in a kitchen drawer when not in use. The tempered glass surface makes for easy cleaning and also makes it resistant to scratches. It is also four times stronger than normal glass.

The scale uses 2 lithium batteries which come included with an easy open battery compartment which is great for stiff joints or the elderly. The buttons are touch sensitive for ease of use. The scale weighs very quickly and is accurate. It's very easy to use and requires no real directions to speak of. It's a perfect home kitchen scale for a single person or family.

You can buy the Gurin Touch Professional Digital Kitchen Scale on Amazon for a great price.

I also received the Gurin High Accuracy Digital Bathroom Scale. This also was very nice. I've used it for everything from daily weight to weighing and shipping boxes. It's very sleek and stylish and blends right into your bathroom decor.

I love that you just step on this scale to make it work. None of that tapping and waiting and then probably having to tap again baloney. Just step on and get your accurate weight. It has a large bright screen with a back light. No straining to see the numbers what so ever. This will weigh up to 400 pounds and is auto calibrated. It also turns itself off when not in use which is a huge battery saver. I was a little bit nervous about using a glass scale, but the glass itself is very thick. It's strong and sturdy. It also comes with a nifty measuring tape included. This is great for tracking weight and lost inches.

You can also buy the Gurin High Accuracy Digital Bathroom Scale on Amazon.

These are both wonderful scales and I would buy the Gurin Brand again!

~Review~ Canvas n' Decor ~Happy Home Guide~

~I received this for my honest review, all opinions are 100% my own.~

I just love canvas. I have the beginnings of a wall full of canvas for my family. I have tried a few different companies since I started a year ago. I must say that from the moment my Canvas n' Decor canvas came in the mail I knew I had found the best one. The photo I sent to them was one I snagged off of my facebook page. I just moved and so do not have my photo's all unpacked yet. So I honestly wasn't expecting it to turn out more than just alright. They did an amazing job.

This is the photo I chose, straight from facebook.

This is my brand new canvas from Canvas n' Decor.

In the original photo my husband and I have very dark faces. But in the canvas they are much lighter. The canvas itself is exceptionally well made. It's very tightly stretched around a large, thick wood frame. The wire hanger is already attached. Most canvas companies send you a hanger with teeth that you must hammer in yourself. So, I was very happy it was attached already. Not to mention it has a soft shell over the wire so that it does not scratch your walls.

I most certainly will be getting more canvas from Canvas n' Decor. The quality is just unbeatable. You will be able to see more about Canvas n'Decor in March on my Happy Home Guide ~Products that will make you and your home happy!~

The Naturals ~Sweetheart Central Gift Guide Review~

~Valentine's Day Sweetheart Central Gift Guide Review~

~I received this product for my honest review, all opinions are 100% my own.~

I just love The Naturals. They are based out of Pennsylvania and offer twig wreaths and much much more. They send you a basic form for you to add onto and decorate however you wish. You can choose from beautiful spring baskets, window frames and stars. They even have a peace shaped wreath and a heart for Valentine's Day. They never cut down trees or bushes only trim and allow the plants to continue to grow and thrive. What a wonderful way to bring nature inside without disturbing it.

I chose to get the Fairy chair, which in my opinion was beautiful on it's own. I chose to leave it natural. It has copper wire on the back for hanging and when winter is over I plan to move it out to my garden. I just love the wild look it has. I can just imagine this spring when it's outside and surrounded by color.

If fits so well in my home filled with Antiques that I think I could use one in every room. I would love to get a basket to fill with pine cones, acorns and dried pomegranate's. What would you choose? You can see all the different options The Naturals has to choose on Etsy. Check out how great the pricing is. I've seen similar items sell for triple the cost!

~Review~ Bobee Momma & Baby Elephant Decals

~I received this product for free in exchange for my honest review, all opinions are 100% my own~

I love decals. They are such a fun way to get art on your walls that isn't expensive. They are also easily removable. I got the momma and baby elephant from Bobee. The large elephant is 9" tall by 12" wide, the smaller elephant is 7" tall by 9" wide. Side-by-side, they are 21" wide. I was worried about how difficult these would be to put up, I actually put it off for awhile. I worried for nothing, the process took less than 5 mins. You just peel the top cover off and then firmly press a little at a time to the wall. Smooth with your hand as you go. Then remove the top layer and voila, Instant art! Seriously it was that easy! (Do make sure your wall is clean)

Peel off slowly just in case you missed a spot!

I am still in shock of how easy this was! Bobee offers a few different options. You can get a whale, owls, giraffe's, Polka dots, Custom names, and sayings. I love the elephants though! The cost was only $12.99 and it would be well worth it! Bobee is sold on Amazon so you can also take advantage of free Amazon Prime shipping! Bobee is a small business run by a mom. She offers a 2 year guarantee that they will remove from your wall with no damage or residue.
