Giveaway: Windows 8 PC & Fresh Paint App #WindowsChampions #Sponsored

Being a teacher, I like to be creative. I enjoy my job so much and really wouldn't trade it for anything. One of the subjects I get to teach my students is art. I taught at an arts-focused school for two years and loved everything about it. Now that I'm at an entrepreneurial-focused school, I have to get creative with my art lessons since I purchase all of the art supplies myself.

I love paint, but don't have any at home, where I do most of my planning. Since receiving my Microsoft Windows 8 Surface last year, I've been playing with the Fresh Paint app a lot to try out art projects without getting messy. While there's no true comparison to actually using real paint, Fresh Paint is an awesome way for me to try out different techniques quickly {and cleanly}.

I was sent a Nomad FLeX digital paintbrush to try out with the Fresh Paint app. It feels just like a regular paintbrush and magically works on any touchscreen device in the same way. I was able to easily transform an art project I found on Pinterest into my own creation, right in the comfort of my home - while sitting on my light tan couch, watching TV. Nothing to worry about, just stress releasing technological painting.

While experimenting with the digital paintbrush, I realized what an amazing app Fresh Paint is. How cool is it that you could easily take a Windows 8 phone or tablet with you for your kids to sit and paint in the car or at the doctor's office? They can use their fingers or a digital paintbrush. The app has templates that look like coloring pages for kids to use, too. Some are free, and others cost a few dollars.

My actual artwork - the texture is hard to see here since I had to shrink it for the post, but it looks great.

One of the coolest features in the Fresh Paint app is the ability to take a photograph and turn it into "wet paint". I was able to take a picture of a flower that I took while in Pennsylvania last month and turn it into a painting by simply using the digital paintbrush to "wet" the colors. Kids could really have a lot of fun with this, turning pictures of a family pet into a painted masterpiece.

Here's my wet paint flower...

Prize: ASUS VivoTab RT Windows 8 PC and Nomad FLeX Digital Paintbrush {$630 value}

To celebrate summer, I'm offering 40% off of everything in my Etsy store through Saturday, June 22. Use coupon code SUMMER40 at checkout to receive the 40% off discount.

I will not apply the discount code after checkout. Please do not purchase, then send me a message saying you couldn't figure out how to use the code. It's honestly a hassle to do partial refunds on Etsy for discounts. 

To use the coupon: on the cart page there's a TEXT link that says "Apply shop coupon code" {see image below for example}. Add the coupon code in the box that appears. Make sure there isn't a space after the coupon code in the text box. If you have any questions, please contact me before purchasing!

Reader Appreciation Week: Giveaway #1 - Rubbermaid LunchBlox Sandwich Kit

Are you ready for the first giveaway?

Rubbermaid never ceases to amaze me. Every single time they send me something to review and giveaway, I am just SO excited.

I'm sure you've seen Rubbermaid's new LunchBlox Sandwich Kits in stores. The first time I saw them at Smith's, I knew I had to have it. Then, as luck had it, I received a message from Rubbermaid a day later asking if I was interested in reviewing and giving away a set. Yes, please!

I've been using my kit for the last week and a half to take to work. I use the bottom, larger container for salad, a sandwich, or pizza. In the two smallest containers I take fruit and veggies. And in the medium size container, I've been taking crackers or another snack. All of the pieces snap together on top of the large container's lid or the ice block. They all stay cold on my way to school AND I feel like I now have some portion control. I absolutely LOVE it.

Rubbermaid has also created other products in the LunchBlox line: salad kit, entree kit, and lunch bag. The LunchBlox Sandwich Kit is currently available for purchase at Rubbermaid.com, Target, Kmart, Kroger, Safeway, Bi-Lo, Winn-Dixie, HEB, other grocery stores, and select Wal-Mart stores.

Review & Giveaway: Milo Paper Gift Shop

Okay organizing junkies, who loves a good notebook for lists, organizing, notes, etc.? Anyone? If you're anything like me, you probably have more notebooks than you need lying around the house. While I'm a tech-lover, I'd rather hand-write things down than have electronic lists. I love writing. I love colored pens/markers. I love beautiful notebooks. *sigh*

Enter: Milo Paper Gift Shop. Beautiful personalized notebooks, notepads, wall calendars, super cute kids placemats, stationery, growth charts, and more. I want to show you a few of the truly cool products they offer.

dry erase meal planner

desk blotter

stationery

I was sent a notebook to giveaway to one lucky reader. Here's what I think about it:

• The front and back covers are beautiful. The design is lovely and the cover itself feels sort of soft, yet sturdy. The cover is scratch resistant as well.
• The notebook is made from recycled materials, which is awesome.
• The coil is nice and won't come unraveled from use.
• The lines in the notebook aren't crisp, thick lines, but are lighter dotted lines. I personally dig this. I don't like it when lines in a notebook overpower my writing.
• Overall impression: Milo Paper Gifts makes high quality products that are meant for use - not just to sit on your desk and look pretty {that's just an added bonus}.

Prize: Milo Paper Gift Shop Notebook

Review & Giveaway: Rubbermaid Clean & Dry Plunger

When I was contacted by Rubbermaid about reviewing and giving away their latest and greatest product, it made me laugh. A plunger. I just couldn't imagine how a plunger would fit in with The Nest Effect's whole...post topic themes. But then I saw the words "clean and dry" in the product title. Umm...excuse me, what? Clean and dry? How?!

Seriously, I never thought I'd be saying this, especially on my blog for the world to read, but this plunger is awesome. Despite my recent laziness that has taken over and created a mess in my home, I still feel I'm a bit of a clean freak in some ways. One is with water. I don't like it left all over the sink, floor, etc. anywhere in the apartment. So to think of why we use a plunger and how after using it, water can end up all over the floor, it just really rubs me the wrong way.

Enter Rubbermaid Clean and Dry Plunger. This product is seriously amazing. I didn't believe it when I received mine to test out for the review so I kept dunking it in the water. The water beads and rolls right off. No more water on the floor after use!

Check out this video!




My overall impression of the Rubbermaid Clean and Dry Plunger is perfectly positive. It does exactly what it advertises and is mess free. It works great like a standard plunger.

Prize: Rubbermaid Clean & Dry Plunger

Giveaway: Perfectly Posh (3 Winners!)

As you may have noticed, I enjoy helping others promote their businesses. I want you to know that I only support those that I believe in and I personally have experience with. I promise you, this blog is not becoming a giveaway only blog. (I only have a week and a half of school left...then you'll start seeing more content!)

Perfectly Posh is a new company that specializes in pampering products. When Charla contacted me about Perfectly Posh, I was excited because I felt like I could really use some pampering in my life.

When I received my package of products, I was super excited because I could smell the delicious aroma through the packaging. Here's what I received.

handle solid hand lotion bar in the sassyooma scent

I had never heard of a solid hand lotion bar before, and was excited to try this one out. Generally I'm not a huge fan of hand lotion, because I work with my hands a lot, and I don't want greasy hands all over everything after using lotion. Most hand lotions that I've tried in the past haven't really helped my dry hands either, so I've just given up. This product works great and I use it right before bed. It's not greasy and I've even recently been using it on my arms, which have become dry from a recent sunburn and bug-bite attack. It smells delicious and leaves my hands (and arms) feeling smooth and refreshed.

oh, peaches! super fabulous sugar scrub for your lips

Confession: I don't wear lipstick, ever. I also generally won't ever use chapstick or lipbalm because I don't like my lips being sticky or smelly. The only chapstick I'd use was from B&BW, but they discontinued it years ago. Therefore, my lips never get moisturized. I'm sure my husband just hates it, but he's never complained. First of all, upon receiving Oh, Peaches! I was excited solely for the peach scent - it is my absolute favorite scent ever. I decided to try it at night, before bed, in case I didn't like the way it felt on my lips. Turns out, I love it and use it all of the time now. My lips are no longer scratchy from the dry climate here in SLC and the scrub isn't sticky, so it doesn't make me feel awkward using it whenever I feel the need.

lip balm

I have the Ooh La...Kahlua lip balm (not the one pictured) and keep it at school. Absolutely love it. It's not sticky, it smells great (kind of chocolatey), and it quickly moisturizes my lips, leaving them feeling refreshed all day long.

bombinator in the bubblin' broad scent

I don't take baths often, but when I do, I want it to be worth it. I like bath bombs, bubbles, or anything else that will add scent to the relaxing experience. The Bombinator bath bombs are awesome! I tried The Bubblin' Broad scent, which smells orangey, and it was an amazing addition to my relaxing bath. I'm so getting more of these!

I also tried samples of:

• Sinful Skin lotion in the Lei Away scent. This scent is absolutely amazing. It's definitely a great scent for summer and makes me feel like I'm at the beach. 
• The Detox Body Mud Stripper. I used this sample on my face. I am unfortunately prone to blackheads and I have really oily skin. The Stripper made my face feel clean without drying it out or making it feel super tight and uncomfortable (like other masks often do.) I'll definitely be purchasing the full-size product of this.
• Chunk! Big Bath Bar in the Feng Shoap scent. I use shower gel because I don't like the way bar soap leaves me skin feeling - dry and grimy. This product didn't do either. It's made with shea butter and olive oil, so it made my skin feel refreshed and quenched after using it, and not at all grimy.
• SugarFix body scrub. I love body scrubs. Living in SLC with the dry climate, I'm always battling dry skin on my chest and arms. I love the way body scrubs feel, unless they leave me greasy and gross after using them. SugarFix is non-greasy and left my skin feeling smooth and looking radiant. I'll be buying the full-size product of this as well.

Just in time for summer, Perfectly Posh has 3 foot products available. I am all about pedicures, and if I can do it myself this summer to save some money, I'm in!

Charla, my Perfectly Posh consultant, is giving away 3 Footsie Product Sets!
