UltraPro 77mm Variable NDX Fader Filter ND2 - ND1000



As a professional photographer, I would not be able to recommend this filter for professional uses. I could only recommend this for someone to get used to using filters. You would definitely need to buy an adapter in order to get this to fit on anything other than a wide angle lens, so please be aware of that before purchasing this filter. I would also recommend that you spend a bit more money to be able to get maximum level of use out of an ND filter because this filter only really works well up to a certain point before it starts to get spotty. I received this product in exchange for my honest review.

The Rhythm Tree Music Therapy Kit


I have a niece who is special needs and this kit has opened up so many doors to allow her to bond with the people around her. Not only is it a chance for her to bond with other people but she is also able to enjoy making her own music and you can tell that she really gets into it the whole time. She really likes trying out the different types of instruments in the kit. This music therapy kit also helps her to expand on some of the skills they are working with her on in her classes at the learning center she goes to during the week. It has been great watching her blossom and seeing how happy she is when she hears the music she makes herself. I think the biggest indicator that this is therapeutic for her is the fact that normally she can barely focus on anything for more than a minute at a time but with this kit she can literally focus for 10-15, sometimes even 20 minutes!

8x10 Floral Prints


These flower prints are just gorgeous. I found frames to put them in and they now reside in my home office. I like how the one print is basically a macro photo but the other picture you can see more of the flower. It adds a bit of diversity to the white walls of my office. While the prints are not super large, they are large enough to stand out against the plain wall and make a difference in the entire decor of the room. The prints are 8x10, in case you didn't notice that. I would recommend these prints for anyone who is into photography, flowers or nature. These make great decorations! I received these prints in exchange for my honest review.

Anthelion Constellation Journal




For those of you who like journaling or writing, this Anthelion Constellation journal would be a great way to treat yourself. You can purchase the journal for your horoscope sign. The front cover of the journal shows the constellation, along with a script writing of the horoscope sign name in the bottom corner of the front of the journal. Each page in the journal is lined and there are 72 pages total. I feel like this would be a great gift to yourself or anyone in your life who enjoys journaling or writing. The paper is not super cheap feeling and the cover seems to be made of durable, quality materials. 

I would definitely recommend this journal to anyone who enjoys writing and I think you will be happy you chose to purchase the journal, if you choose to buy one for yourself.

NYC Skyline Print






This is such a beautiful print of a New York sunset. I have always been into art and am constantly looking for beautiful decor to add to my home. I currently have this print hanging up in my home office and I find that it suits the room decor very well. Even if you've never been to New York, you can recognize buildings within the city in this print that you may have seen on TV or in movies. The canvas is very nice quality and the frame the canvas is on is durable.

I would recommend this print to anyone who is looking for a nice print to decorate your space with, especially if you're a fan of the New York City skyline/cityscape. Very beautiful art piece to have in your collection. I received this product in exchange for my honest and unbiased review.

Leda Odyssey Sketchbook



This sketchbook is very nice quality. The paper is thick and I like the fact that it doesn't really allow permanent markers to bleed through. I like to draw with markers and with most sketchbooks I am unable to do that because of how easily the colors bleed through. I also enjoyed the fact that the sketchbook came with a little card telling the story of Leda and also how Leda Art Supply began.

The cover of the sketchbook is soft and yet durable. There is also an elastic band on the book so that you can keep your sketchbook closed and the content safe. I would recommend this sketchbook to any artist (especially those who like using markers!) who is looking for a quality sketchbook. This gets two thumbs up from me! I received this product in exchange for my honest review.

Sansibil Chalk Markers



My niece and I have so much fun drawing with these markers! One thing that is super awesome about these chalk markers is the fact that once you're ready to clean the surface you were just drawing on, it is simple and easy to clean up. All you need is a wet cloth and the marker will easily just wipe right off, so if you're a parent and are worrying about letting your children use these, don't worry anymore! These markers would also be good for decorating your windows for the holidays or special occasions temporarily.

I would recommend these chalk markers for anyone who is looking for a fun and easy way to be creative and artistic, parents looking for art supplies that are easy to clean up after your children are done decorating and just anyone in general. I received this product in exchange for my honest review.

Valentina Paris Hand Painted Wine Glasses



Although one of these glasses got to me broken, I think the glass that is intact is BEAUTIFUL! The hand painted aspect of this glass is gorgeous. Very well done. The size of the glass is also a bit bigger than other standard wine glasses that currently have in my cupboard. I would have been much happier having a matching pair but at least I have one to admire! The broken glass had the bottom of the glass broken off, so it was just a stem and the bell of the glass. If I had a way to fix it, I totally would because these two glasses are just gorgeous. There are black lines along with the colored, metallic-looking painted areas on the glass. The painting on the glasses looks very similar (in my opinion) to stained glass windows. 

I would recommend these glasses to any wine drinker who is looking for beautiful wine glasses to drink from! I received these wine glasses in exchange for my honest review.

Manga/Marker Illustration Paper



With this manga/marker illustration paper, you get thick paper that doesn't allow markers to bleed through. I have art markers I got when I was in school for graphic design and most of the sketchbooks I have, those markers will bleed through the paper no matter how light you press on the paper. With this illustration paper, though, those art markers don't bleed through the paper at all. I absolutely love this paper because of that. You get 24 sheets of the paper and I plan on stocking up on this stuff because I like being able to sketch and draw using markers, so I definitely think this paper is worth it for me. According to the labeling on this paper, it is ideal for ink pens, water and permanent markers and all pencils. I haven't tried using pencils on this paper yet because I was way too excited about the fact that my art markers didn't bleed through! 

I really feel like anyone who enjoys drawing and using markers or other media that easily bleeds through would benefit from using this type of paper. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this to anyone. I received this product in exchange for my honest review.

Beary Genius Neon Liquid Chalk Markers



I loved being able to draw and play around with the Beary Genius neon liquid chalk markers. I tried them out on both my dry erase board and on my window in my bedroom. First of all, the neon colors are perfect and so so bright! On the window, the color tends to clump up a bit (by this, I mean it drips down toward the bottom) and because of this, your drawing may look a bit darker at the bottom if you draw on a vertical surface. 

The markers are extremely easy to use on the first try. With new markers, you just push the tip down until the tip fills up completely with the color and then you can start drawing. Super simple and I don't see why children would have an issue with this. I really feel that these chalk markers would be usable for kids and adults. 

You get 10 markers in a pack and the only color I didn't use was white. Another great thing about these markers is that they are very easy to clean up, even on the glass. All you need to do is get a wet cloth or wet paper towel and the chalk will wipe right off your drawing surface. For all you parents out there who may be concerned about how healthy these are, they are non-toxic, water-based and dust-free. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend these markers to anyone with a creative flair, especially those with kids who like to do art projects but don't want to have to go through the big hassle of trying to clean up their artwork. 

I received these markers either for free or heavily discounted in exchange for my honest and unbiased review.
