Ever since I got my first iPhone, I have always enjoyed dressing my phone in different cases. A few months ago I finally upgraded to the iPhone 4S and have been on the lookout for new and colorful cases. I am picky though, I don’t want just any case. Since I cherish my phone, I only put high quality cases on my phone. I have tile floors and the last thing I need is to drop my phone and it break. I have insurance on the phone, but my phone that has only been used by me is better than any refurbished phone.

I received three of the iPhone cases from Cygnett. For me, getting a new phone case is almost as exciting as getting a new outfit. I think my 13 year old daughter was maybe a little more excited than me when I received these. She also has an iPhone and addicted to changing her cases. Since we both have the same style phone, I will often share my cases, especially if my daughter is trying to match her outfit with her phone case. Yes, my daughter loves to match her shirt/outfit with her phone if she can.

I received the Cygnett DayLines iPhone 4S case and think it is pretty neat. On this case you have a very colorful case that has names of eleven of the London Underground train lines including Central, Piccadilly, Jubilee, Northern, Bakerloo and more! These colorful lines are rendered over a powder-soft and rubberized texture.

This Daylines case is available for the iPhone 4 and iPhone 4S for $29.99

The next case I received is the Cygnett Apollo iPhone 4S case. This case is awesome because it provides you with a anti-scratch and fingerprint-proof surface with a shock-absorbent interior. This phone case has raised side edges and a screen protector  to ensure complete 360-degree protection. I received this case in purple, but it is also available in White, Black, Pink and Red.

The Apollo case is available for the iPhone 4 and iPhone 4S for $29.99.

The third case I received is one of the Cygnett Skin cases. Even though this isn’t the safest case for my phone, I really like how it looks. This is lightweight case that looks like an animal print that many of you I know would LOVE. You can buy this Skin case in Red, Black and Grey!

The Skin case is available for the iPhone 4 and iPhone 4S for $24.99.

These are just a few of the fun cases from Cygnett. For more fun product for your iPhone, iPod, iPad, Smartphone or tablet visit: www.cygnett.com

2012 Holiday Gift Guide Feature

 
It is now that time of year to get out the stockings and all the fun Christmas decorations and lights. I am sure that there are many of you that have already been decorating and some of you that might already have your shopping already done. I don’t have my tree up yet and my shopping isn’t done, but I do have a couple stockings hanging up.

This year my two youngest children have new Christmas stockings that are hanging on my mantle in anticipation for St. Nicholas to fill. In celebration for the holidays, I received two of the pretty Glitz Personalized Christmas Stockings for review from Annie’s Woolens and I was really impressed when I received them.

The stockings that I have been using for years are very thin and not too fancy. The two Glitz Personalized Stockings that I received are far from thin and definitely fancy for me. They are made from a high quality wool fabric, soft to the touch, bright in color and have a trio of jingle bells that make a great final touch to them. There is a variety of designs that you can choose from that includes a professionally embroidered name.

When I opened the package, the stockings were nicely packaged into a big clear plastic bag to protect them. I thought it was pretty neat when the bells were bubble wrapped for protection during shipment too! You can tell that Annie’s Woolens cares about what their customers think after they hit the checkout button.

If you are looking for personalized stockings, I suggest taking a peek at the choices at Annie’s Woolens. Not only do they carry these pretty stockings that I received, they also have a great variety of personalized stockings including stockings for baby’s first Christmas, stockings for your pet, Ragg wool stockings, Scandinavian stockings, stocking hangers & more!

In addition to having a TON of cookbooks and recipes bookmarked on my computer I also enjoy looking at recipes on my Samsung Galaxy Tablet. One recipe app that I have been playing around with the last couple weeks is SplashPad Mobile’s Top Recipes Android App. It started with me looking for side dishes to create on Thanksgiving, now I am on the hunt for some new dishes for Christmas dinner.

Since I am a full time work at home mom, I am always looking for recipes to make my family that they will enjoy, that are easy to make and don’t cost a fortune in ingredients. I admit that I have bookmarked more recipes than I will ever make but the internet for me is the best place to find the recipe that I am looking for. With the Top Recipes App, I have a few different options of things that I can do.

If I am looking for new recipes, I would visit the Categories option where I have a variety of recipe options to choose from:

I usually like to plan each of the meals for my family because I try to avoid cooking things that won’t get eaten. If I am do happen to be looking for ideas for not just one recipe, but a whole meal I can check out the Menu option for a some menu ideas:

Then there is the fun part when you find a recipe you like. Once you find a recipe you want to make, you select the little heart icon to add it the My Favorites Section.

What I like about the Top Recipes App is the next feature. When you are viewing the ingredients, you can select the items that you don’t have so that it adds the ingredient to the My Shopping List section. For those that have an Android phone, this app would be real handy to use when you are grocery shopping. You would have the ingredients you need to buy at your fingertips.

When you subscribe to this app, you have access to over 2,400 recipes from around the world. Each recipe has a photo, instructions and the estimated prep and cook times. You can download the Top Recipes app for FREE, but I would recommend subscribing for only 99cents a month. What is neat is right now you can get a FREE 30 day trial.

In addition to the features I mentioned above, as a subscriber you will also have access to the The  Weekly Bonbon in-app magazine that features weekly articles, recipes from celebrity chefs, ideas for family-style meals, holiday entertaining tips and suggestions, ingredient spotlights and more. Past articles are archived by month and can be easily accessed at any time.
