#BTS #Epson LabelWorks Makes Back-to-School Prep Effortless

The countdown to back to school has begin  and I can hardly believe it really seems like summer just started!  I am sort of  ready for back to school because it will be a little less WWWF around here!  One thing to  look forward to is getting school supplies.  The kids enjoy it-picking out items that showcase their personality... and to be honest I do too a little  there's just something amazing about the smell of  new crayons and brand new shoes!!  The one thing I dislike about BTS shopping is the hit on my pocketbook so the last thing I want is for a week into school my kids to loose anything!  That's where a label maker like the EPSON LabelWorks Iron-On Kit is a wonderful tool to have!!

Set up is very simple just add the batteries or use  AC adapter (sold separately)  and insert a tape cartridge--iron on come in BLUE WHITE AND PINK!  Now  you're ready to make your labels!!! The keyboard setup is EZ on the fingers.

I love the selection of  symbols and  fonts to make  customized labels. The machine will store up to 30 labels  so you can reuse year after year for school, camp, etc. I love that there are many other tapes that will work with this unit. Daughter was thrilled with the iron on but when she read there was glow in the dark said "add that to our shopping list ASAP!!" 

Epson offers a wide selection of tapes and additional widths  you can see the complete

Ozeri Duo Ultra Salt & Pepper Grinder ~~PRODUCT REVIEW~~

The Ozeri Duo Ultra Salt & Pepper Grinder has a powerful eco-friendly ceramic gears and a space-saving design that combines salt and pepper chambers in one grinder. When you are filler each chamber be careful not to over-fill... EX: if you go to the very top of the chamber with the pepper and slide the funnel to the salt, some pepper may fall. I suggest under filling to keep each spice in their own spot. You turn the grinder in a different direction clockwise for pepper or counter-clockwise for salt. It is very convenient to have one grinder to do both. The Ozeri Duo boasts high quality stainless steel and  has an ergonomic grip for ease of use. The removable lid includes a slider to provide easy access to the salt and pepper chambers while minimizing spillage. The feature I like the best is two adjustable knobs that precisely adjust the grind to your liking!! I like a coarse pepper while my hubby and kids only like a fine ground pepper with the Ozeri Duo Ultra we can all be happy.

Keeping your grinder clean is very easy too. Use a clean damp cloth and wipe it down and let it air dry. It is backed with a one year warranty-- I really respect a company who will stand behind their products and Ozeri does.
You can fin the Ozeri Duo Grinder on Amazon or the Ozeri website.

#Decorative @Ceiling_Tiles #PRODUCTREVIEW

I don't know if your like me, when it comes to your homes decor, but I have to change SOMETHING in my home almost every month. Sometimes the smallest change can make  a room feel brand new. I was thrilled to get in touch with a great company who can give any room a quick and dramatic change. I'm talking about Decorative Ceiling  Tiles. They carry a wonderful selection of  faux leather, metal ceiling ties, and some foam tiles too.

I recieved  a tin and a foam tile. Here is a little about them in their own words:

Tin
Mostly used in commercial or residential projects where the expensive 3 dimensional metal look is desired but the budget for real metal is not there. These tiles can be glued to most flat surfaces, such us drywall, plywood or plaster.  Models for suspended ceiling systems also known as the grid systems are also available.  Most of these tiles are class "A" fire rated in the USA.  Tiles are made from recyclable PVC.

Foam
This is the  most economical line of ceiling tiles.  These 3 dimensional tiles are excellent solution for covering most unsightly ceilings. Their ability to cover popcorn and other textures or patched up ceilings plus the fact that they are easy to work with, makes them a popular product.  These tiles can be painted with any water-based paint.  The size is 20x20 (2.7 sqft).  Currently there are  over 50 beautiful designs.


I received one sample of the tin tile and one foam. At first I wasn't super impressed with the foam tile I received...
its one of the lines most simple designs.  But My daughter had a really creative way to use it.




HER CREATION!

She took some scrapbook paper attached it to the tile, added some sparkle snowflakes and now we have a  new card display wall.
After seeing her work I can see how even the simplest of tiles can add a nice change. 
 I think over  the next years we'll use them again we could swap out the paper and have a whole new wall!!!!

The tin tile I received was a very ornate tin!!! I really did like most of the pattern (but the center grid like pattern was a bit to much for me)  after seeing my daughter creative juices flowing, mine started to also. Check out my project.

I love the mirror effect and I think this looks great in our master bedroom, with the soft flickering of the candles glowing in the reflection, adds a nice ambiance to the room. 


There are many other ways you can use the tile other then on your ceiling...on the web site they show them as a photo backdrop!The tin tiles would make a nice back splash in your kitchen. The possibilities are limitless. The tiles start under $5  very affordable way to change up your space.
