Review: The Paper Worker Customized Binders & Scrapbooks

Day 84 Of Countdown to Christmas

Holiday Gift Guide

Christmas is right around the corner, and I have a company that I want to tell you about. The Paper Worker is an amazing site where you can buy everything for your home and office and get it customized for YOU!

I LOVE this site. I am always trying to find the most durable binders that also let you choose a variety of designs. Not only does The Paper Worker have a variety of designs, but they also have 4 types of BINDERS to customize; Vinyl, Organic, Reinforced Paperboard, and Turned Edge Casemade!

You can choose Gloss, Matte or Linen finish, Standard and Half-Sizes, Round or Angle-D Rings, Black, White or Printed Inside Liner, AND they are Eco-Friendly Certified by FSC.

As a small business owner, I definitely need to get the word out about my name. Whether it’s business cards, binders, folders, notebooks. Anything I get a chance to customize- I definitely will.

There is nothing better than to look at something and see your name or your business name on it. It does something to my heart. It makes being a business owner seem so surreal! Saying “You’ve DONE it!”

I ended up being able to choose [2] 2" casemade binders, a scrapbook and the 3x3" box. OMG- Just let me tell you- I was SO excited to see these at my doorstep. I was anticipating the arrival. I was so excited!

Below is the picture of what my binder started out being. Just a blank binder waiting for my nimble little fingers to designed whatever I pleased. They gave the option of using their pictures (they have many many AWESOME pictures) which is where the colored pencil picture came from.

You can customize everything on these. That has have colored themes that you can flip through once you have chosen a binder. I ended up going with the orange theme for my colored pencil binder. Then I put my Blog’s name up top. You can even design the back!

The best thing about this is that you can view it in 3D as you design. I knew exactly what my binders were going to look like before they arrived. There wasn’t even 1 flaw. Everything was in order, nothing was hanging off or misplaced. Everything was

 

This is of course my crafty binder. The binders are absolutely HUGE and I love them. Not only can I put 2-3 packs of dividers in this, but I can organize EVERYTHING These can hold a 5 subject, 3 subject, 1 subject, and 2 folders!

I not only had room to put all of “designs”, but it also let me put all the information I need about which products work best with each other- how much I spent on certain items, so that I could better price everything when it was ready to be sold.

I could also print ideas that I got from online such as pinterest, other blogs, and craft websites such as totally tutorials. I love huge binders. Now I don’t have to have a million different binders- just ONE!

I love being organized in such a beautiful way. These customized binders aren’t that much then a regular binder that you’re going to buy at wal-mart. The ones at walmart can run up to $25. The ones you buy at walmart have THEIR designs, not yours. AND this one is only $30 for full customization.

There is nothing like walking into a business meeting or a meeting with a customer and having your name plastered on a beautifully designed binder. This shows that you’re serious about what you do!

This is my new blog binder. I can keep up with what posts need to be posted, what reviews need to be done, and which giveaways go live on what day. I love being organized with such beauty.

This are VERY high quality binders. They aren’t thin, so I know that they are going to hold up very nicely. I love that I can easily flip through my information. The papers don’t get stuck to each other making it hard to go through everything! I can now easily reach whatever I need to.

These binders may be big, but they fit all sized folders and tabs. So you can insert whatever you need so that you can have easy access to different sections!

I love that both front and back are both customized. These binders are absolutely stunning in every single way. If you know someone who LOVES to be organized, a small business owner, someone who loves to save recipes.. the potential for these binders are absolutely endless!

 

The Customizable Scrapbook!

Do you love to keep memories of your family? I know that I do. My Grandma got me scrapbooking a long time ago. She loved to scrapbook. She and I would sit down together and create cute little books for my entire family.

Now that she is gone; passed away Feb 2011, I definitely want to continue the tradition. I am loving the look of the scrapbooks on The Paper Worker. I love that you can choose the color and then add whatever image you want. After you add the image, you can customize it with your family name.

I haven’t had the time or money to buy any scrapbook supplies yet, but when I do- I’ll post the pictures on here. I could always do digital scrapbook kits and then print them off. I love that there are so many potential ideas I can use with this because it is built like a binder with the 3 binder loops- so all I have to do is cut out the paper the size of the binder and use my paper punch to punch the holes.

That means I could even use decoupage to add fabric, ricrac, or lace to the outside of my pages! OH so many ideas.. LOL

These scrapbooks are only   on the Paper Worker website. How cool is that? This would be the perfect Christmas Gift for your mom, your husband’s mom, your grandma, best friend, sister.. just about anybody.

Whether you know someone who just had a new baby, is graduating high school or college, or is having a birthday—they have designs for you!

Prices starting at $40.

The customizable 3x3x3 Box

For this, I got to choose a small customizable box. I love this little box. This is the perfect small gift holder idea. Customize it with their name on it, place their gif inside, and NO need to gift wrap.

I chose mine to sit on my desk and hold paper-clips and staples so that I can easily access them. I chose the zebra print with the pink circle on top. I have been into the animal print for awhile now. I think the animal prints are just so beautiful. They have many many different designs though.

These would also be perfect for favor boxes for a wedding shower, anniversary, wedding, baby shower, or birthday party! The designs are absolutely

Overall- I love how easy the website is to navigate. It is super easy to find your way around. They have everything up top in the tabs with a fall-down menu when you click on whatever tab you want. If you aren’t finding what you need up top, you can always use the search bar!

Shipping was SUPER fast. Within 3-4 days of ordering- my order was at my doorstep. They take extra precautions when mailing. They have everything wrapped in tissue paper tucked under long very thick sheets of brown paper! Customer service was super responsive and very nice.

You can design your stuff online, or if you don’t have time to design it right then and there- you can download the PDF of whatever it is you want to order and upload your designs when your done. They make everything super super simple and fun! I had so much fun designing my binders, scrapbook, and box!

Review: Spooky Halloween Shirt

Halloween is right around the corner. I can’t believe time has passed by this quickly. It seems like just yesterday it was June- but no, October is just a little more than a week away- WOW!

Adam doesn’t do the dress up thing when we take the kids out to trick-or-treat. Depending on what I feel like that day- I may, or I may not. I have found an amazing site that lets you be festive without having to go all out!

Halloween T-Shirts is an amazing website that lets you buy gory Halloween Tshirts.

I

The Tshirt I got was the Zombie Tux. I really liked it. Adam is definitely going to wear it on Halloween. The cotton is very soft, it can be washed and dried like normal shirts, just make sure you turn it inside out during drying.

I think it’s AWESOME. It is a normal tuxedo shirt with a twist. It has guys and bones hanging out. Zombies are all the rage. There are so many zombie movies that I can’t count.

I am definitely looking forward to Halloween. Are you planning on dressing up? If so- what are you going to be? I already have a 70’s chic costume chosen for this year!

They even have a really cool shirt called Zobama, which I found to be absolutely slide splitting. :+)

BUY IT: All Tshirts are only $19!

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.

Review: Live Free or Die Tee <Day 87 Holiday Gift Guide>

As an American- I love to show how proud I am by wearing patriotic tees. There is nothing like the feeling I get as an American, knowing that we all stand behind each other.

Knowing that we have such brave men and women in the military that is SO willing to stand in the line of fire to fight for our freedom. This not only makes me proud, but it makes me tear up knowing that most of these people have families that they aren’t around and can’t see because they have to train, and possibly be sent overseas somewhere.

This makes me want to wear ALL the red, white, and Blue that I can. The shirt that I received from Patriotic T-shirts was the Live Free or Die Shirt.

This shirt rocks my socks- REALLY. Everytime I wear this shirt I feel like I need to be wearing my harley boots just to prove I can kick some major Azz. This shirt says “TRY ME:”/ There is no other way to show that you’re proud to be an American then wearing such an attractively designed shirt.

The shirt itself is amazing! It is easy to care for- just throw it in the wash and dry it inside out. It is very very soft, which is a huge plus. It is thick, which is a giant plus to me. Having a thicker shirt means for longer use without it ripping or tearing!

The most ROCKIN thing about this company is that they let you choose your design, then type of shirt and color. They have  10 Shirt types, and 16 color varieties- how awesome is that?

I ended up getting a small men’s shirt to accommodate my bad-azzness. YEP- I said it. This is the perfect shirt for me. I am definitely going to be trying the girly tank some time here in the future. It looks so awesome.

Here are some of the other Patriotic Tees I like. How cool are these?

No matter what your style is, they have something for you! Or your husband, dad, brother, best friend, son, or anyone else you know would enjoy sporting their American-ism!

    Which is your favorite shirt?

BUY IT: You can buy these shirts for $19 on the website!

{Review} Eco-Friendly Monthly Conscious Box

Have you ever been in the store and thought to yourself “I wonder if that’s a good eco product?” I definitely have. Trying to gradually switch to nothing but eco products here lately.. I could definitely be seen in different of the aisles pondering in thought i f something was worth my money. Now there is no wondering to it, or buying products that never get used or get thrown out.

 

Conscious Box is a monthly product subscription service containing products that support sustainability, healthy living, more conscious living and social responsibility. Conscious Box offers a variety of plans that suit your life and budget- starting at just $19 and that’s including shipping!

My New Year’s resolution was to life a more eco-conscious life. I am happy to report that I HAVE stuck to my plan. From cosmetics, cleaning supplies, school supplies, hair and skin products, and now this has made my resolution even better. Even the box they ship it to you in is recycled and earth friendly.

What could be better than having eco-friendly products delivered to your door each month. Not only does it save time but it saves money. We all know that buying products by the quantity will save money. I have become very interested in finding new and innovative products that aren’t only good for me but good for the planet as well.

This delivers both. It’s a great way to learn of healthy good-for-us products! I loved the variety of products that were in the box. Stuff for my kids, laundry soap, and FOR ME! YAY! I couldn’t have been happier.

Some of the products we had tried before, but most of them we hadn’t. August's theme was "Rediscover Your Groove," which was all about rediscovering what makes you (or your kids happy).

Here is what was included in the August Box. I’m not sure how they got all these amazing products in such a small box. They are very talented like that!

*berryplus Laundry Soap- The packaging on this is very attractive because it’s simple yet modern. The tube it comes in and the outer packaging is compostable and recyclable.

My clothes came out impeccably clean, smelling perfect. The best thing about it is that you aren’t pouring chemicals on top of your clothes. It also saves money because you only have to use a teeny tiny amount to get such a splendid clean!

Not to mention saving on lugging giant jugs to and from the store.! Love this!

*I Love Chicken Poop Lip Junk-

$4.00 per tube

  YES it says Chicken Poop. NO it doesn’t really contain chicken poop, just beeswax and natural ingredients to make chapstick. It is very inventive and such a great conversation starter. Pull THIS out at your next PTA meeting. I’d love to see those eyebrows raise. Maybe you should offer them some.. LOL.

This is a very useful product since I had a cold sore for about week. It burned to high heaven, so I tried my best to keep chapstick on it at all times. This doesn’t have a fragrance, dyes, or any chemicals. Just all natural beeswax chapstick.

 

*Crispy Green Crispy Mangoes

$1.49 per bag

My kids got the pleasure of trying these out. I absolutely LOVE mangoes, but I can’t stand freeze dried fruits, so I had to skip out on this one. My kids LOVE it. They ate it just like they would eat grapes or apples.

This is 100% freeze dried Mangoes, so no added sweeteners or artificial flavorings! They are hard and crunchy, but if you give them a second they will soften up in your mouth. They have a natural sweetness but also have a hint of a tarty taste. They look like potato wedges.. lol

 

Crunchmaster Sea Salt Multi-Grain Crackers

gluten-free, all-natural crackers! Wheat-alternative crackers made with whole grain brown rice, stone-ground corn, oat fiber, and a 4-seed blend.

Even though they are all natural and gluten free, they taste almost the same as regular crackers- except they are harder to bite. But they are delicious!

 

 

Honest Tea Honest Kids Berry Berry Good Lemon

organic, low-sugar, fruit-flavored thirst quenchers, offers a great-tasting alternative to sugar-laden beverages. Ready-to-go, single-serve pouches made it easy to take with us.

Adisyn was the one who got to taste this. It must have been pretty yummy- she slurped it right up! This would be perfect to throw in a lunchbox for school, or take on trips!

 

Natural Vitality Kids Natural Calm Multi

The objective in creating Kids Natural Calm Multi was to combine the beneficial effects of magnesium with a comprehensive premium multi to provide children with key nutrients missing from their diets. 24 Organic Fruits and Veggies As we know, fruits and vegetables are fundamental nutritional factors in a healthy diet. Kids Natural Calm Multi incorporates superfruits (organic pomegranate, açaí, goji and noni) and fruits (tart cherry, raspberry, strawberry, cranberry, banana, blueberry, apple, aronia berry and sweet cherry), plus vegetables and sprouts (carrot, pumpkin, pea, spinach, tomato, broccoli, broccoli sprout powder, onion sprouts, daikon radish, kale and alfalfa).

That’s a ton of good for you fruits and veggies. We had tried this before, and my kids liked it. You can mix it with Juice or water to get the essential vitamins, minerals, and MOST needed Magnesium.

It is easy to mix, and easy to get the kids to drink!

 

thinkThin Crunch

70% less sugar and 80% more protein than fruit & nut bars, thinkThin Crunch is the reduced sugar nut bar for the entire family. An easy, portable, simple and satisfying high protein snack that is naturally sweet and a little nutty

AS I opened the package, all you can smell is delicious blueberries. As I ate it, I could taste the cashews, almonds, peanuts, and blueberries. It is a very good mixture. The protein in the bar made me feel full and gave me a much needed boost of energy. Really Really liked it. =)

Weleda Pomegranate Firming Serum- FULL sized bottle of this, which I really really liked! You know you're getting a deal with this box because just THIS firming serum retails for $40.

This antioxidant-rich intensive treatment with organic pomegranate juice and golden millet helps reduce wrinkles, deeply moisturize and firm the skin. Blended with highly effective, concentrated natural ingredients, including organic pomegranate juice and golden millet seed, it helps strengthen and support skin regeneration.

I love the smell of this.! It is lightweight and non-greasy, so I could wear it during the day under my makeup and not have a problem with my makeup slipping off.

It absorbed in my skin very quickly, which I really really liked. This meant I didn’t have to wait forever before putting on my makeup. It is very moisturizing and kind of thick- not liquidy and messy. Really liked this as well.

Dr. CleanGreen’s Instant Hand Purifier

A unique blend of purifying essential oils eliminates the need for excessive alcohol, hazardous chemicals or artificial colors & fragrances. Ours is simply a naturally sweet-smelling lotion that goes on smoothly and works quickly, gently, and effectively.

In clinical tests, Dr. Cleangreen's Instant Hand Purifier killed 99.99% of tested specimens, including the flu, staph-resistant MRSA, e. coli, strep pneumoniae (causes pneumonia), and staph epidermidis, to name a few...

As a mom of 2 young kids- hand sanitizers are a must. I just hated the way the alcohol wasn’t very good for their sensitive skin. It would cause both mine AND their hands to dry out with continued use.

With Dr. CleanGreen’s Hand Purifier we don’t have to worry about alcohol, chemicals, or any kind of add-in. I am LOVING this. Not only does it kill 99.9% of germs and illnesses but it FEELS like a lotion.

This isn’t liquidy and drying. This is actually very moisturizing and smells very clean and fresh. There isn’t anywhere that I go that this isn’t in my purse ready for a simple spray on the kids hands after the park, or if a public restroom has no sink and they really have to go. TWO THUMBS UP!

Overall: I am TOTALLY excited about everything that came in the Conscious box. Everything met my “MOM” standard. I checked all the retail prices of everything that was in the box and MAN everything added up was WAY over what you would pay separate. So- when you get Conscious box, you are DEFINITELY getting a deal. Just the Weleda product retails for over $40.

Great deal on very great products.

This is definitely Jess approved.

This would make an awesome year long Christmas Gift for your college student, best friend, or a family member that is shipped overseas in the military
