1. Load Image        2. Create        3. Order

Day was made when I opened up my delivery from PosterCandy.
The most fantastic idea I wish i had herd of earlier. 
In this day and age its all about convenience for people & affordability! That's why PosterCandy are becoming more and more popular.
Now living out of home (without my parents) I have suddenly become so excited over home decor its unreal. I've recently started giving my Study a complete make over and I discovered PosterCandy at a perfect time.

PosterCandy is an online store that lets you create your own 'PosterCandy' or 'PhotoCandy'.
But what makes this site so convenient and modern is that you can select your images off of your own device. Including the images on your device or straight from Instagram or Facebook. You begin by choosing either PosterCandy or PhotoCandy, in my case Postercandy. 
You then select the Image size you want, which includes the 7 following:

I had then chosen the 50x70cm with 36 images. 

I chose this one because I think its a perfect size for in my study, and the images are not too big, not too small! After selecting your size you then chose how many images you would like on the poster. You then chose out of a portrait or landscape layout, I selected portrait :) 

Then they have the option to chose your background colour; Black or White. Which I think is fantastic, because both backgrounds make the Poster look completely different! I love the White plain look but i've seen some peoples design with the Black background and I'm already wanting to order a new one, hahaha. 

You can then chose to either Connect to Instagram or Facebook, or upload your desired images. I post all of my favourite images on Instagram so I selected that option. 

After dragging all of your uploaded images, and personally choosing where you want each image to go, you can then add to cart and you're ready to order! 

The checkout is very easy to understand and clear with the Subtotal, so theres no need to unsure on what you're paying. 

An finally after completing your details the Poster is in the process of being deliver to your doorstep! How god dam easy is that.... 

Have a look at my personal PosterCandy design-

I am yet too frame my amazing Poster, but as you can see blow I've used

my poster as a cute little backdrop for my desk. For anyone who spends a lot of time at 

their desk (Bloggers in particular), this is an amazing idea.

You're instantly smiling when you see all of your favourite photos

when you sit down at your desk.

I love, love, love this idea! It will probably only be temporary until

I get a lovely looking frame BUT I think its great to see all 

of your favourite personal photos when you sit down at your desk.

How simple is that! I've had a look at what some people have designed and I have come up with so many other ideas. 
You can personalise your Poster too fit whatever theme you're interested in. 
Awesome ideas i've seen are:

• Holiday themes- Create a poster with all the great photos you took on a recent trip. This looks so great and you can have all of your memories to keep forever on one poster!
• Personal theme- All of your 'selfies' with friends, family & your partner. A great personal poster to be framed up in your room.
• Motivation theme- Could be quotes or images that really get you motivated. Motivated to exercise, earn money, travel... Anything! Great to put up in your study, office or room to help you get motivated everyday. 
• Family or Children- Your beautiful family photos all on one poster, to be showed off to everyone that visits your house. I've actually seen this theme in my sisters house as soon as you walk into her door. Its so sweet and a great thing for visitors to have a look at when they're visiting your home. 
• Modelling theme- I've actually seen someone upload online their modelling theme. They had all of their modelling photos make up a poster, almost like a portfolio! 

I could go on forever with Ideas, but its really just personal choice. For some ideas and inspiration, all you have to do is type PosterCandy into google images or the hashtag #postercandy on Instagram. 

Now even though I'm sure you already have a million ideas for your own prints already I have another fantastic idea...... 

PosterCandy Gifts!

It is the most special gift to have received from someone. You personally make them a Poster that will make them smile. Whether its photos of the person and yourself, or another theme that they will love. If anybody were to create a PosterCandy gift for me I know I would be in love. (HINT HINT FAMILY) Its such a handy and heart warming present to receive. 

Cant think of what images too include for a persons gift?

No worries, PosterCandy have it sorted! They also have gift cards for purchase :)

Starting from just $10, the Gift Certificate details will be emailed to them with your special message on the day you nominate. You set whatever the Gift value you want.

SAN CHURRO... Unexpected Christmas Gifts?

   

SAN CHURRO

Sweeten thy Soul

Today we treated ourselves. We visited the Spanish Chocolateria, or should I say chocolate heaven.....

I have always been a very big fan of Max Brennar, so it was good to visit San Churro to see what all the fuss was about. Its very important to get out and visit these sorts of places and treat yourself. People often spend way too much time worrying about what they eat or how many calories their intaking. Of course thats important, but every now and then its good to just satisfy your naughty taste buds. 

"Chocolate’s scent increases theta brain waves, which induce relaxation. This is mainly why people feel better about their problems after eating loads of it."

After spending a good 15 minutes browsing over the menu, my partner and I finally decided on "The classic fondue for two". A little bit of everything for us too share!

Defiantly a taste plate that I recommend if you're visiting with a friend!  

$24.95 (Yes a bit pricey, but then again its not something i'd be going to buy once a week, its a special treat i'd go out and get every now and then!)

*Fondue of melted chocolate served with mini churros, choc brownie, banana, strawberries, marshmallows, macarons and more (contains nuts)

Jake was eating like it was a race (whoever finished the plate first)!

I think you can tell he enjoyed it very much.... ;)

But San churro doesn't just sell chocolate and churros.... They have something for everyone on there menu. Including:

• Churros 
• Desserts 
• Taste plates 
• Ice cream 
• Real Chocolate Shakes
• Shakes and Smoothies 
• Spanish Hot Chocolate 
• Couverture Chocolate 
• Fair trade Organic Coffee
• Cakes and Sweets 
• Truffles and Pralines

For those who aren't too interested in all of the delicious deserts and just want to visit too catch up with a friend, I defiantly recommend trying there coffee! As we walked into the store today majority of the store seemed too be drinking a hot drink! 

An of course, they have a retail section. Products that you may have fallen in love with and need for your naughty section of the pantry at home or.... 

GIFTS!

Christmas is only around the corner, and whats a better idea then getting someone something they'd never expect but still love! San Churro has a massive range of awesome gifts for someone. Now I think its very rare to find someone that does't enjoy chocolate, so San Churros gifts are actually a great idea that even personally iv'e never thought about buying. 

If buying someone a gift from San Churro isn't for you, then why not visit your closest store with someone special and treat yourselves. Its amazing how easily you can create a special outing without spending much money. If you're unsure on what to buy someone, then I recommend buying a gift card for San Churro as a gift! That way the person you've brought it for can make a special date out of their gift and have a happy visit too San Churro! 

But San Churro was a lovely little outing for me. The chocolate was amazing and now I'm busy deciding what to buy as gifts from the store. If you want to find the closest store to you, or even have a look at the menu and gift ideas have a look at San Churros Website-

And viewers, please remember too 

Treat yourself! xxxx

Instablur- PRODUCT OF THE MONTH

PRODUCT OF THE MONTH

All In One- Instablur

Get photo perfect looking skin!

By far the most fantastic beauty product I have reviewed in a while. 

The Body Shops make up range has never really excited me, but every now and then I find a product I fall in love with. 

After testing Instablur for the first time, I instantly fell in love.... An now I just can't get enough, I need a lifetime supply of this stuff!

Instablur comes in a little 25ml tube, RRP- $21.95.

When you test a small amount of the substance on your hand, your skin literally looks like it has been blurred. It reminds me of an app I have on my iPhone called Whitagram, where people use the blur/blemish effect to make there skin clearer! This product is seriously like a real life filter like used on whitagram.

You use Instablur like a primer, so before you apply foundation too your face. Or of course you could just use this amazing product on its own. The all in one product works in 5 ways to keep you looking amazing. 

• 12-hour shine control 
• Pore smoothing, to reduce the appearance of pores 
• Blemish Hiding 
• Complexion unifying, for an even skin tone 
• Make-up extending, for fewer touch-ups during the day! 

The Body Shop describes it as below:

Unlike other thick cover-ups that can mask and clog your skin, new All-in-One™ Instablur™ from The Body Shop enhances the great look nature gave you, while blurring away any imperfections. So instead of hiding your natural beauty, you can let it shine through! 

With its unique formula, containing mattifying spherical powders with smart-filling properties, moisturising Vitamin E, and Community Fair Trade marula oil, All-in-One™ Instablur™ can be used on its own, or as a long lasting base. 

I recommend this product to absolutely all beauty lovers. For those who are self- conscious of their skin I really do think that this product is a must try! It really does perfect your skin and make it look truly flawless. If I wouldn't run out so often I would apply this product on my face every single day. If your not sure on how to apply the product, The Body Shop Website have included HOW TO. 

All-in-One™ Instablur™ is available in one universal shade, so you don’t have to worry about matching it to your particular skin tone. All you need to do is dab and blend! 
Simply apply dabs of Instablur™ face perfector to your forehead, nose, chin and cheeks, and then gently blend it all over your face using small circular motions. Now you’re ready for your close-up! 

I have quite freckly skin, and I often find after a whole day of wearing make up my bronzer looks as if its disappeared at the end of the day! But today my make up honestly looked almost identical to when I first applied (and trust me I had a sweaty day at work). Not editing has been done to these images below, so if you notice my cheeks look a little blurry its because thats what Instablur does! 

Thank you Body Shop for an amazing product xxxxxxx

TECHNOLOGY CHRISTMAS GIFT GUIDE

The go to technology gift guide! 

Christmas is around the corner, and of course that means gift buying! 

For those who are a little stuck on gift ideas I'm here to save the day. I have included some of 2014's best technology presents. Now a little advice & something I strongly believe in: Always buy the latest. Meaning that in this day and age our technology needs to keep up! Now some people totally disagree, but if you're going to invest your money into a product for yourself or even someone else, don't you want the most updated & improved version? It may only be a little extra, but it's totally worth getting the latest version of your technology... Especially if your buying it as a gift. 

Now I have spent some time on picking the right products for my list & I have tried every single product included. So I am advising honestly and on my personal opinion on these products.

My technology gift guide includes: 

- ASUS transformer notebook

A great two in one device, a tablet as well as a notebook. Easily detachable the tablet comes off of the keyboard whenever it's convenient for you. When travelling or browsing the tablet is great, and when typing needed the attachable keyboard is soooo handy! 

RRP $479 (shopping express.com.au)

- Apple TV 

Oh my best investment yet! Hooked up straight to my TV, I can view things on my phone from my TV! I can watch movies purchased from my iTunes account, and most importantly I have Netflix set up to my TV for 1000's of movies and TV shows. Technically Apple TV has saved me a lot of money and time, no longer needing to buy or rent movies. 

RRP $99 (jb hi fi) 

- Beats by Dre pill

An amazing portable speaker for you to take with you on all of your travels. The sound that comes out of these speakers is so freaking good! I was amazed by the quality and how loud the speaker gets. Rechargeable and then ready to take and play music whenever you want! This would be an awesome gift to receive. 

RRP $259.95 (Apple Store)

- Beats by Dre SOLO2 headphones

Again, a fantastic product by Beats by Dre. Redesigned and better then ever, the sound that comes out of these headphones is unimaginable! These headphones are also a lot smaller and are able to fold down and fit in the handy case, making them so easy to take with you everywhere. I especially love these headphones for during my gym activities, amazing for running! 

RRP $259.95 AU (Apple Store) 

- Fitbit

Perfect gift for the fitness type. Too keep up with their sleeping patterns, steps and calories, the Fitbit is great. Just too give you that help you need and extra motivation, the Fitbit will help you on your path of a fitter lifestyle. Did I mention it's WIRELESS

RRP $120 (office works) 

- Xbox one 

A personal favourite of my boyfriends! The ultimate gift for a gamer. With voice and face recognition this is defiantly the most high tech gaming console at the moment. Compatible with Xbox one games only, the quality is perfect. Can be purchased as a bundle from many gaming shops. 

RRP $ 498 (Harvey Norman) 

- GoPro hero 4

For the adventurer type. The best underwater and action camera to date. This camera  captures the most brilliant images and videos, and you can have them straight on your phone. With heaps of handy accessories available, the gopro is for any sport/adventure/travel. Can also purchase the gopro remote with it, so you can take a picture or video by the click of a button. Defiantly the best gift for someone that likes to travel or engage in lots of adventure activities. 

RRP $470 (camera paradise) 

- Apple iPad Air

The best thing I've spent my money on this year. Amazing quality and functions, I literally use the iPad Air everyday. For studying, browsing, writing, socialising and much more! The iPad Air is so convenient and easy to use that I rarely even jump on my computer at all. I'm making this post off of it now haha! Truly my favourite Apple product and I own a lot of Apple products. I have also noticed the fantastic battery life compared to all my other Apple products, my iPad lasts forever! 

RRP $499 (Apple store) 

SHOPPING EXPRESS.COM.AU

Shopping express

Online Computer Store

I have recently posted my review on the ASUS transformer book, a fantastic detachable notebook and quad core tablet. Everyone has been raving on about this hot product BUT there was something very important I forgot to mention in my review......

The RRP price for ASUS transformer notebook is $599 while Shopping Express sells it for $479. Not only is that 20% off the RRP price, but buying online at Shopping Express is so convenient!

While the estimated despatch time is only 1-2 working days, you could have the ASUS transformer delivered to you in no time! 

What a better way to have sorted another Christmas gift nice and early this year. 

But this specific product isn't the only amazing deal Shopping Express have at the moment. After scrolling through Shopping Express' deals I am extremely impressed. The website has different tabs to click onto for; Hot Deals, Clearance, New Arrivals & Epic Hour. 

Epic Hour in particular had me very excited about this website. On a specific date and time (only for 1 hour) the website have deals where they literally halve the RRP price of a specific product! I can't believe I have never herd of this website any earlier. Its certain to say I have a few products on my wish list from Shopping Express!

I highly recommend checking this website out if you love an awesome deal! I know i'm a bargain hunter and I honestly wouldn't purchase some of my electronics from retail stores now. The prices are crazy cheap on Shopping Express. Have a look for yourself!
