First, Casetagram contacted me last month about sending over one of their cases for review. I've tried a ton of different cases and shared my reviews of them here, but I was super excited to finally try one of theirs. A girlfriend of mine has a few and had told me all about the neat way you build your own, and once I tried it myself I was sold. Super easy to use, and I love that it syncs right to your Instagram- and they also have a handy app. A huge plus for me was being able to change up the layout, and move things around as I pleased. And like I mentioned in a previous post, our phones are with us all day, everyday, so I LOVE being able to have photos of my family right there. It's also a great conversation piece and a good way to show off your cute kids. And when my case arrived, I was so happy- it's great quality and super cute. Now I just have to keep Hank from stealing it from me. ;)
And readers, go ahead and use SWEET10 for 10% off your purchase.
Secondly, have you guys tried Fligoo yet? It's the neatest thing. The company, who calls their site a "gift recommendation engine," reached out to be about trying their site and at first I was a little skeptical- how could a website know what my friends would like as presents? But sneaky Facebook (you connect through it), knows all. It's one part awesome, one part "what the heck?!" because the recommendations I got while playing around were spot on. Seriously, try it. And let me know if maybe just my friends share way too much info online, making it easy for Fligoo to know the perfect present, or if it's you too. And even more fun, you can check your own profile out to see how they analyze you. In a nutshell, Fligoo takes "likes" from Facebook and analyzes them, providing you with up to date gift giving info. Smart. And weird. And awesome! Below are recs for one of my best friend's upcoming birthdays. Pretty spot on.
And one more thing before we get to the links- check out this necklace! Isn't it amazing? I received it in the mail from one of my new partners, Urban Lilac, and I'm in love. The quality is great and I'm so into it's simplicity. And even better, their jewelery is totally affordable. Here's the one I got, and here are a couple others I have my eye on- one and two.
