ANCO wipers from Ezwipers.com

Have you ever noticed how when the rain stops and you forget to turn your wipers off and they start making a loud speak as they slide across the windshield? Yeah, that means you need new ones. Wiper blades wear out from use and being out in the sun. It means they don't clean as well so you'll see streaks; plus dirt and dust are just harder to get off.

EzWipers.com sent me a pair of wipers to try and to be honest, there's not much to say because they just carry top quality products. If you've ever see wipers for sale you'll recognize the names like Rain-x and ANCO. Of course these perform just as great as the ones you'll find anywhere else. The thing is most people don't even think about replacing the blades when needed. They just leave them and after a while think all blades leave streaks and make noise.

I know I sound a little ridiculous but sometimes lazy people like me just appreciate something simple.  The hardest part is just getting out and checking the blades for the size or searching around online to find which ones fit but guess what; I've never seen it easier that EZ-wipers. I went on the site, the big box in the middle auto completed the name of my car, and I was met with a range of prices. Add to cart and the checkout even accepts a range of payments including Paypal. The best part is the free shipping.

Do yourself a favor and get over to the site and have a clearer windshield now. There's really no excuse to get new wipers in the mail in the next 15 minutes. I received this product free in exchange for nothing more than my honest opinion.

Chatbooks Instagram Series

Get your own chatbooks here

Ever wish you could have hard-copies of your pictures but can't figure out what to do with them once they're printed? You can have photo-books printed from several places but it takes time to arrange your layout and the books can be pretty expensive. My wife and I recently tried the service Chatbooks offers and we're already thinking about getting some more. 

There are several options when creating books but we tried the Instagram subscription which has to be the easiest way ever to get your memories printed. Don't want to use Instagram? No problem, there is a custom book too. Setup is simple: Create an Instagram account and link it to a Chatbooks Instagram subscription. Every time you add a new picture to Instagram, it's automatically added to a new book and once you hit sixty pages your book is printed and mailed out to you. Don't worry though; if there are some pictures you shared that you don't really want in a book they provide a nice app to aid in building the perfect series. 

The books themselves are made of nice heavy paper and even a little heavier for the cover. The pages have a satin coating so are neither a boring/flat nor overly glossy. I of course can't prove this but the ink is purported to be high quality stuff that will resist fading for 200 years. Detail is decent and I mean that in a good way. It's not like looking at the original digital image but it's plenty clear and you aren't left wondering what you're looking at. Check out my pictures for examples.

Now that you're this far you're probably thinking "Sure it's easy and convenient, but it must be expensive". Its not though! Each book is $6. Less than 10 bucks for any photo-book is a good deal and this is almost half that. Less than a monthly Netflix subscription and you get to keep something hard and real. Get a coffee every morning? Skip it for 2 days and you can have one of these every month. 

There's really no argument against these when you just want an easy way to save memories. Easy and convenient, great value, and no time commitment for setting them up. If you're not sure if it's for you I'd recommend just trying one book and seeing if you'd like more. Unlike other subscriptions this one is completely dependent on the pictures you add so you don't even have to worry about forgetting to cancel anything. Still not convinced? How about a coupon for a free book? I'm giving one away each to two people who take the easy steps in the giveaway below.

I received and opportunity from Chatbooks to try their books free in exchange for providing an honest review.

Coverplug Paintable Electrical Outlet Cover

Coverplug on Amazon 

After reading check out the giveaway at the bottom!

For anyone with little kids, these are wonderful. The grow up being told to "put the square shape in the square hole" so when they're old enough to walk around the see that electrical outlets have a place to put something. While the ubiquitous plug covers can work, they just look tacky. These though can be made to blend right in with any of your other decor. Even if you don't have little ones running around though you''ll probably find these to be something worth looking into. Covering up unused plugs just makes anything look better while still leaving them functional as opposed to removing it altogether.

Build- These covers are made of pretty much the same plastic that the plug plates themselves are. They are as thin as they can be while still being plenty rigid that a bump won't crack anything. A quick coat of paint+primer stuck to it with no problems too.

Function- As long as you have a somewhat modern house where your plugs have the ground(hole between the two slots) these will work. It's as simple as painting then pressing them in. Ours was in just loose enough that you have to work a little to get it back out so it's prefect for keeping a curious child out. There's no denying they look good too. If you're the more creative type you could even go with fancy designs where they don't blend in but still fit with everything else.

My only complaint would be the lack of direction for what sort of wall plates will fit completely under these covers. If you look closely at my pictures you'll see a little peeking out at the edges. This can vary depending on what you have installed in your house so it would be nice to have some measurements included so you know if it will cover completely. Otherwise, they stay in, look great, and add safety so I recommend. I received this product free in exchange for nothing more than my honest opinion.
