Friday's Feature {1/22}

Case App:
Have I ever mentioned I'm a sucker for something personalized?  Well, I am.  When the people at Case App reached out to me just before the holidays, the timing was perfect - we'd just taken our family photos for our Christmas cards so I wasted about two seconds decided what my case would look like AND they offered to throw in one for Derek for his Christmas stocking - perfect stocking stuffer!


I'm no good at technology but their site was super user friendly and I had both cases designed in a matter of minutes.  Like I said, I like personalized but you don't have to use a photo.  A quote, a graphic from the internet, a monogram (was my second choice!), etc. you can pick anything! I had Derek's design picked out almost as fast as my own.  I had just had fun the weekend before playing around with the panoramic options on my phone and had taken some cool shots of Beaver Stadium and knew that's what I wanted to use!


Another huge plus for me is that I still have an iPhone 5s and most of the designer and nicer cases that are sold right now are just for the iPhone 6 so it's a great option for any size phone.  I'm also not a fan of bulky cases so I love that it hugs right around the edge of the phone and is nice and slim.  (For reference, Derek's case is for a 6).  He was so impressed with the case in his stocking and actually never uses a case but said "Wow, I think I'll actually use this." Win!


Both cases turned out with nice clear imaged and I was so impressed with our new items.  You can also create laptop and iPad skins - the options are endless if you browse the site for a bit.


Now, Christmas is over but Valentine's Day is right around the corner and this could be the perfect accessory to include as part of your gift! You can scoop up one of your own for a 20% discount with the code "CHRISTINADEREK20."  The code will be valid until next Friday, 1/29.  You can find their website right here or check out their instagram @caseapp too.

Other Happenings:

Who is ready for this blizzard? I said last night you know you're growing up when your excited for a weekend snow.  We'll both be home with nowhere to go so bring on all the snow (if we would have had some like we usually do before now, I might not be saying the same!)  We were suppose to head out of town Saturday to see a friend but now that we're home with nothing to do - I'm ready for the snow party!  This graphic cracks me up…

+ Makeup brush cleaning.  I shouldn't share how long it's been since I've done so (the fact that I can't even remember what I used last time should say something) but definitely share if you have easy ways with items that can be found around home!

+ I was always hoping that the twins on The Bachelor would get the two-on-one date but didn't think it would actually happen.  Last night I saw the first (to my seeing) commercial with the fact that it is both of them on it.  Very interested to see how that will play out!

+ I'm sure I'm not the only one still obsessed with the pineapple trend even though it's winter and these earrings are too cute and now on sale! 

+ If you missed yesterday's post, make sure to check out a new sponsor Sarah and get to know her a bit as well as check out her great giveaway!


If you're getting snow, enjoy it and stay warm! If you're not, enjoy your weekends out and about!
