Make+Print Your Own Stickers Review

I’m a sticker designer! Really, if this is a job, then I can totally say that I love it. What do you think about my designs? I can’t sleep last night so I remembered about the “ Make+Print Your Own Stickers” that I have to review. I was provided with blank stickers and they gave me a code so I can make my designs.

 They gave me an easy to follow instructions and I did not even try to print it first on a blank paper to make sure that it prints the way it should. It is recommended though. I’m frugal so I don’t want to waste the colored cartridge.

I made stickers for RC, for our neighbors (kids) and for other very special kids that we know. I’m sure they will like it. RC likes stickers for sure. She was so happy with her Dora stickers; they make a good bribe so she will do a good job with potty training. These stickers are also great for kids that are going to school.

Here is the screen that you will have to work on. I took a picture from my camera so I can show you. You will have to choose the icons, the background, the shape and the text and then combine them all together in a sticker. It is up to you on where you will place them on the blank sticker.

You can go to http://www.stickeryou.com/ for more information about this product or if you would like to buy a package of sticker maker.

To get updates about their promotions, you can follow them in twitter @stickeryou or like their Facebook fan page at www.facebook.com/stickeryou. You can also avail this “ Make+Print Your Own Stickers” in Hobby Lobby (US), Mastermind (Canada) and Scholar’s Choice (Canada)

 I received one or more of the products mentioned above for free using Tomoson.com. Regardless, I only recommend products or services I use personally and believe will be good for my readers.

Indy Auto Lift

These days, cars and motorcycles have become much more complex, mostly due to smog control devices and computers which are programmed to get the best gas mileage and pollute the least. If you’re one who wants to still work on their own cars and motorcycles, there will be times you’ll need a lift to raise your vehicle off the ground and perform maintenance tasks like changing the oil, changing tires, working on exhaust systems or transmissions.


In order to safely raise the car of motorcycle off the ground, you have a couple options. You can use a jack and after you have the vehicle far enough off the ground, you can put safety stands under it and then remove the jack. The problem with safety stands is that they are normally about one foot off the ground and only allow you to do the simplest tasks. If you want to raise the vehicle higher safely, you need what’s called automotive lifts. They will raise your car high enough for you to walk under it and easily work on the bottom side of the car.

If you have a motorcycle, you can use motorcycle lifts to raise your Harley or other model high enough to easily and safely work on the motorcycle while it’s off the ground. No matter what you’re working on, safety is the most important thing, never get under a vehicle that isn’t safely secured by safety jacks or a vehicle lift.

P.S. My husband once again helped me with this post.

I Cook But I Burn

I saw a recipe similar to this from another blog (I forgot the name) and I made a post about "Layer Your Food" before so I tried recreating it in my own version.  

See my eggplants are so burnt, I had to peel top burned part with my fingers. I used an eggplant which is more rounder in shape and cut them as you can see in the picture. I believe this one is called the American eggplant and the flavor is very gentle. I covered them with egg and bread crumbs. I think it is better if you will just use starch which we don't  have right now.

I used a baking pan to place the cooked eggplant so the oil will be dripping on it. Then I layered it first with mayonaise, then spinach, cheese, bacon jam, and minced tomatoes.

I had to try the smallest one. I don't like cheese to overpower the flavor so I only put half the slice on mine and I put  whole slices on some because my food taster loves cheese so much.

It was good. The bacon jam did the trick on this one (based on my food taster's opinion). I got it for free in exchange for a review. Here is my post about it, Skillet Bacon Jam but I believe you can use those bacon bits that you can buy at the grocery store or probably the real bacon will do too.

Yandy.Com 40% - 70% OFF Halloween Costumes

I ordered some Halloween costumes for me and RC at Yandy.com. I hope to share the pictures with you when I receive them. I bought a Teen Sailor Costume and I am hoping that it would not be too small when I receive it. It’s only $12.89 and it’s a little more conservative than the other outfits.

Here is the one I really like to match RC’s sailor costume that she already has but the price is over $60 so I thought it wouldn’t be a good buy. It's called the Pin Up Captain Costume.

I’m pretty happy shopping at Yandy.com. They specialize in selling lingerie and sexy outfits but they also have women’s dresses and some outfits for kids. I ordered two dresses, one hat, one sunglasses and a costume for myself. I even got myself a free panty! For RC, I ordered a two piece set pajamas and a costume.

 Why shop at Yandy.com?
-40-70% OFF clearance items (this is my favorite, most of my orders came from this section)
-FREE SHIPPING for orders $70 and up
-FREE panty with any order
-Standard and Plus sizes
-Easy to navigate website. I like that I can choose only the items that are 50% off or 70% off.

Have a great weekend everyone!  I hope you enjoy your three day weekend!

Disclosure: I received a gift card in exchange for the post. No other compensation was received. Thanks a lot Yandy.Com!

Melanie Collins (Sports and Entertainment Host)

Before I started this blog, I was hooked with fashion blogs. I love looking at our fellow bloggers who have those amazing clothes and very creative with how they dress up. I’m following more mom and review blogs now since I think I fit more in that category and I can grow my blog better that way.


For this post, I’ll review the website and blog of Melanie Collins. She is sure one pretty lady and very fashionable. No wonder she is one of the sports and entertainment hosts here in the US. She is currently hosting for E! and NBA. I watched her before on TV. She appears on many TV programs where she hosts. On her blog, she shares her travels with friends, she also has a lot of pictures and all of them are beautiful! I specifically like these pictures of her. I like the dress with vertical lines and a lot of color.

You can find more in her website. She has a photo and video gallery including some of her behind the scenes adventures. Her blog started in February 2011. Even celebrities like her likes to blog.

You can read a more detailed bio of her by visiting Melanie-collins.com. This post is brought to you by her website.

Express Jeans Buy 1 Get 1 Plus Giveaway

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Express for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine.


They sure do look great on the pictures especially the jean leggings.  Since most of my jeans are blue, I would like to try something different like gray or white jeans and Express have them. Which type of women's jeans are you digging right now? I usually look for comfort first and if you look in my previous posts, I do wear leggings a lot. I think the jean leggings are a genius idea since it combines the comfort of leggings and the look of jeans into one.

If you are lucky in entering giveaways, you can join the Express jeans giveaway. Final days are here to enter and win a pair of jeans. They are giving away 50 pairs!  I’m crossing my fingers to win one.

Express jeans is currently offering a buy 1 get 1 promotion on top of their Express giveaway.  Have you tried Express jeans yet? I would surely want to try. I’ll go there on my next trip to Pearl Ridge Mall. I usually buy a top from them whenever I visit their store and I also have a dress from Express. They have great quality but I would admit that I haven’t tried their jeans yet.

Beanie Designs Hat Review and Giveaway (Worldwide!) Ends 9/18 CLOSED

RC is a little obsessed with wearing hats, she already has a collection! I was excited when I was contacted by Beanie Designs for RC to try one of their hats. I also get to choose which one I like from their website. I spent at least an hour just to pick which one I would like for RC. Their hat designs are unique and handmade. You’ll find a lot of cute babies and toddlers from their website. The sizes range from newborn to pre-teens. They also have baby mittens and booties, headbands and flower clips. They use 100 percent cotton made with organic material.

I chose a sunny hat with pink and purple colors since I already make fabric flowers and I can just attach it to the hat. I don’t know how to crochet but I love them. I usually buy them from craft sales. This style is also perfect for the warm weather here in Hawaii. I chose the largest size which is 5 to preteen. It may not fit her perfectly now but this hat will last a long time. This is now RC’s favorite hat and we will bring it on our trip to the mainland .

One of my readers will also get the chance to win a hat of their choice up to $32.00 value. The giveaway is open WORLDWIDE. It will end on 9/18/11 8:00 PM Hawaii Standard Time.
