SmartKnitKIDS Socks for Back to School Giveaway

SmartKnitKIDSSocksSm SmartKnitKIDS Socks for Back to School Giveaway

Wow! It’s actually the last day of the Back to School Blog Hop Bash! Our last featured company makes seamless socks! This company is SmartKnitKids! Their socks are seamless, feature a no heel design, and are non-binding! They are great for many children who have Sensory Processing Disorder, Hypersensitivity, Autism, etc. However, they don’t make socks just for little feet! They have recently started making SmartKnitBIGKids socks! Yay!

The BIG Kids socks are seamless and comfy, just like their regular children’s socks. However, the socks are for adults! I received 2 pairs of their Big Kids socks in white to review. For adults, they carry white and blacks socks. However, I typically wear white socks. So, I went with those. The first thing I noticed about these socks is how comfy they are! I mean they are the definition of soft socks. They feel wonderful on my feet!

I noticed that the children’s socks come in different lengths. I wish the adult’s socks came in different ones as well. I typically wear an ankle sock myself. So, these are a bit different for me. However, they are so comfortable that I will make an exception and wear them in the future.

What I really like about them (beside they are super comfortable) is that they are in fact seamless and they don’t have a heel design. See, this is what I mean.

Don’t they look comfy? These are my favorite socks! I’m hoping they come out with more lengths for adults in the future. I think I will probably wear these just during the colder months so that my jeans cover them. Haha! Although, I do appreciate how they don’t fall down my leg when they are on. I don’t have to keep tugging at them or anything. The socks also wick away moisture!

So, here is the last Back to School Bash giveaway…

I also was excited because it came with crystals along the outside of the ring. These crystals are my birthstone! Double yay! Here is a picture of my awesome necklace!

One of the unique gifts on the site that is from Organize.com is the Shemergency Survival Kit! I actually received this kit for my review!

Plus, it all comes in a super handy silver mesh case! When I received this my mom couldn’t believe how much stuff was in it!

Fellowes P-8C Paper Shredder Giveaway

It’s time for another Back to School Blog Hop Bash Giveaway at Laughing Lindsay! I can’t believe that it’s the 2nd to last one! Sigh! However, it’s for a really great product! So, we’ve had pens/pencils and paper for the blog hop here at LL. Now, what do you do with those pages of notes you will be taking? What about those precious pieces of paper from the college that has your personal info on it? Perhaps your bills or report cards? Hmm?

Well, I’m excited to do a review and giveaway for a Fellowes P-8C Paper Shredder. This shredder is the perfect size for a college dorm, apartment or home. It doesn’t take up much space at all! In fact, I think it would fit perfectly under a desk! This shredder even uses the Cross-Cut technology to shred the paper into tiny little pieces! Plus, the shredder is durable (something that is necessary for the moving in and out of campus dorms). I was excited to review mine. So, I did my 2nd video for this blog! Yep, I actually turned it on and shredded 2 sheets of paper for you to see! Yay! Go me! So, here is my little video!

See, the shredder is so easy to use that I can shred with one hand while recording video with the other! How great is that? Plus, this can protect you from identity theft. I mean you don’t always know who your roomie is. : ) I think this shredder is awesome and I really like it. I also appreciate the safety lock that keeps it from shredding paper and automatically turns off the shredder when you lock it (as you saw in the video). I bet you want your own shredder now, don’t you?

WIN! THIS GIVEAWAY HAS CLOSED!

Fellowes is generously giving one extremely lucky reader a Fellowes P-8C Paper Shredder (worth $59.99) of their own!

To enter: Tell me why you need a paper shredder or why you like this one.

The pack includes: 50 Tag Mates, 40 Skinny-Minis, 16 Shoe Labels, and 2 Teeny Tags. The tag mates are great for labeling clothing or jackets. They’re great for when children return to school, so their jackets don’t get mixed up with other children’s stuff or for the college student with the same-size wearing roomie. The skinny-minis are perfect for the school supplies. The are just the right size for pencils, pens, etc. They are also dishwasher-safe! So, they could be applied to a lunchbox! The shoe labels are wonderful for college students! They can also be good for children who take an extra pair of shoes for gym or the weather.

Here is a picture of my labels!

Lastly, the teeny tags are great for backpacks and totes! No more getting bags switched or confused. I think these are my favorite things from the combo. They are cute and wonderful! Here is a picture of my tag!

The tags also have Mabel’s Labels info on the back, so if you need to buy more you know where to go!

Overall, I’m pretty impressed! The labels look awesome, are colorful, and work well.

Carolina Pad Back to School Giveaway

Studio C color A Carolina Pad Back to School Giveaway

Yay! It’s time for another Back to School Blog Hop Bash giveaway here at Laughing Lindsay! Since last week I gave you the chance to win pens and pencils, I thought maybe you’d like some paper to write on! So, I was very excited to partner with Carolina Pad Studio C for a review and giveaway of several of their products!

My favorite product from my assortment is probably the Hot Chocolate 1” Binder I received. I just love the design of it! Plus, it’s really nice! I also really liked the Dreamsicle Journal which actually ties together so that it doesn’t just accidentally flip to a page. The Royal Twist composition book is really pretty! It would make a great lab book! ; )

The 2 pocket folder will be really handy to carry my papers in (can never have too many folders as a future teacher). The Ideal book would be great to take notes in! It’s not too big or bulky. It’s good for carrying around because it doesn’t take up too much room. The Sasquatch 1 subject notebook is really nice, too. I think my boyfriend actually it! Hehe!

This assortment of products is a really nice overview of the various lines and products from Carolina Pad! I’m actually sort of looking forward to taking notes… sort of. Haha! Here is a picture of the products I received!

WIN! THIS GIVEAWAY HAS CLOSED!

Carolina Pad is offering one Laughing Lindsay reader a collection of products from the Studio C line just like the one I received (pictured above).

To enter: Check out the line of Studio C by Carolina Pad products and tell me which design or item sounds most interesting to you.

N-fini Women’s Shapewear Giveaway

521 2 N fini Womens Shapewear Giveaway

Welcome to another Sunday of the Back to School Blog Hop Bash! Today I’m happy to blog about a company that offers products that many women may find to be helpful. This company is N-fini shapewear! They make many different products that you can wear to give you a better shape for every part of the body! They offer strapless pieces, bodysuits, bralets, and bottoms! For my review, I selected a strapless shaper with built-in bra! I went with the strapless style because I have a few shirts that show my bra straps when I wear them. I also went with the nude shade because I was afraid the black would show through some material.

I’m sure you’re just dieing to see what this shaper did for my oval shaped body! So, before I go any farther, I want to request that you don’t judge me. I mean I’m overweight and I know it. That being said, please don’t leave nasty comments about me because I almost didn’t post real pictures for this one. : )

Here I am in a rather un-flattering spaghetti strap green shirt wearing my regular bra and no shapewear.

Yes, not very good. So, on to the big reveal. Here I am in the same shirt and shorts. However, I’ve traded my usual bra for the strapless shapewear!

I think it does conceal some of my fat rolls. Haha!

So, I bet now you’re wondering about the fit/comfortability of it. Well, when I first put it on, it felt a little weird. I’m not used to something that tight on me that is trying to shape me. Haha! Something I was impressed with though was the built-in bra with wire. I always wear a bra with a wire (tmi?), so I’m sort of used to them. However, I have tried other wire bras that dig into my skin and are uncomfortable. This shaper’s bra is actually not bad! I was really surprised! It didn’t hurt at all!

As for overall fit, I went by my weight and it seems to fit ok. I can still breath and sit down. ; ) N-fini seems to be a really good brand for shapewear. It is really high quality and they have quick shipping!

N-fini is being extra nice and providing Laughing Lindsay readers a unique coupon code!

Coupon Code: laughinglinz20off
Good for: 20% off the entire purchase
End Date: 8/31/10
Can not be used with any other coupon
