Master Lock Review & Giveaway

by Nicole on March 31, 2011

Name of Product: Master Lock Storage Security 7142D

Price of Product: $30.00

Where can the product be purchased: online from Master Lock and at retailers nationwide

Description of Product: ” * Large locking security chest with fire retardant insulation
* 4″ (10.2cm) x 13-1/4″ (33.7cm) x 10-3/4″ (27.3cm)
* Durable steel construction stands up to daily use
* Key lock to protect and secure your personal documents
* Fits standard-size documents
* Handle for convenient carrying
* Includes 2 keys”

Master Lock has 5 great tips for organizing paperwork for tax filing. “There’s no better time to sort through the growing pile of papers in your home office than when you’re preparing to file year-end taxes. While organizing paperwork and personal files can seem like a daunting task, it certainly doesn’t need to be. Master Lock has provided five tips for organizing and safely storing important documents for a smooth tax filing process and more organized year.

1. Purge the paperwork -First things first – clear the clutter.
2. Safely store crucial records – Designate a specific storage space for vital documents including birth certificates, marriage licenses, passports, wills and social security cards
3. Create a file – Create a separate file for all of your tax documents. We recommend a customizable, portable filing solution such as Master Lock’s 7148D storage box for simple and easy transport to and from meeting with your accountant or tax advisor.
4. Back Up Everything – Make digital copies of important documents and store them in your fireproof box on a zip or thumb drive.
5. Make it a Tradition – Select a specific time of year (perhaps when tax time rolls around again) and make your review of these records an annual occurrence.”

Review of Product: I’m all about organization and anything that makes my life more organized is a good thing. This Master Lock security box is a total lifesaver. First of all I love that it’s not heavy. I can pick it up but it is definitely durable. It comes with a lock and key and is a file box that stands upright. It makes it so easy to store all my important papers all in one place where I know they are all safe. There are built in shelves to hang files, making it just like any other file box except with a lock and added security! Make sure to check out Master Lock’s tax tips above, they are easy tips that are bound to make your life easier during tax time.

EdenFantasys: Get Out of a Rut

by Nicole on March 31, 2011

Many of you all know that I am not a mom but often get thrown in the “mommy blogger” genre. Most PR pitches I get are for kid’s products or products for moms and while I include many of them here because many of you ARE moms, it’s nice to remove the “mom” card and just be the women we are!

As women, we all know we can get into ruts sometimes. Ruts can happen anywhere – on the job, in your diet and of course, in the bedroom. Here’s where EdenFantasys comes in. EdenFantasys is a *gasp* adult website. Now, for those of you who are already blushing, definitely check out EdenFantasys. I think you’ll be pleasantly surprised at what you find. They can DEFINITELY help you out of a relationship or bedroom rut.

There is nothing degrading or obscene about the site, it truly is tasteful and provides a safe and positive adult experience – I think this is so important. I’m choosing not to discuss specific products on my site in deference to those of you with kids or who turn your heads from this kind of site but want to make sure you all know EdenFantasys is out there and that they are a great choice when looking for *adult* toys. They have a large selection, free shipping on orders over $59, flat rate shipping of $5.95 and a large clearance and sale section.

I received a giftcard as compensation for this post. My opinions remain my own.

iMainGoX Review & Giveaway

by Nicole on March 30, 2011

Name of Product: iMainGoX

Price of Product: $69.95

Where can the product be purchased: Amazon.com and Target.com

Description of Product: “Ultra –portable speaker system and protective case for your iPhone, iPod touch or MP3. Custom fits and protects all iPods® (except Shuffle®), iPhone®, iPod Touch® and most MP3’s. Doubles as a premium external stereo speaker system for any device with a 3.5 mm connection. Control and view your device without opening the case. Comes with a rechargeable lithium-ion battery and plug in charger for extended use. Daisy-chain feature allows you to connect more than one iMainGo X for a larger sound experience. Comes with custom travel bag, wrist strip and adjustable carry strap. Size 5.7” x 3.8” x 2.4”

Review of Product: I received the iMainGoX in pink and it is totally functional as well as cute! The quality of the sound is great especially given how small the unit is. I also love that you can plug headphones right into it and also a second set of headphones so you and a friend can listen to the same thing at the same time. My iPod fits right in it and becomes a functional carrying case, how cool! The fact that it’s rechargeable just adds to the list. I didn’t have any portable speaker product for my iPod, I didn’t realize how much I would use this but I do. It’s come in handy many times recently.

I started Nicole's Nickels in February 2009 to bring all of the great deals I was finding to my friends and family and then it took off! Since then I've continued my full-time day job as an attorney while blogging in the evenings and on weekends. I help my clients during the days at the non-profit I work for and then my Nicole's Nickels readers trying to find the best deals for their family! I live in south/central Florida and have 2 cute dogs (see their picture under "mascots") and an amazing boyfriend who has a spunky 6 year old we get to spend a lot of time with. I love telling my readers about great deals and also about the cool products I get to try. Most of all I love giving stuff away to my readers! I hope you'll take the time to "like" me on Facebook, follow me on Twitter and/or subscribe to get my daily updates via email to stay in touch!
