iPad- Review.


As you all know, the iPad tablet from Apple is one of the most popular gadgets right now and I have been dying to get my hands on one of them ever since they first launched back in April of this year. After having all the issues I’ve been having with my computer, I decided this was the perfect time to get my iPad as I realized I need a backup device in case my computer ever decides to give me a hard time again.
The iPad attracted me because of its portability, so I decided to take the iPad path and see what all the fuss was all about.
iPad features:
• 9.7" (diagonal) LED-backlit display with IPS technology
• Multi-Touch screen
• Built-in Wi-Fi (802.11a/b/g/n)
• Up to 10 hours of battery life
• Bluetooth 2.1 + EDR technology
• 1.5 lbs. and 0.5" thin
• Built-in applications
iPad comes with Safari, Mail, Photos, Videos, YouTube, iPod, iTunes, App Store, Maps, Notes, Calendar and Contacts applications.
• iBooks app
Browse, buy and read eBooks from the iBooks app, available as a free download from the App Store.
• 16GB memory capacity( mine is).
For storing your music, video, apps, photos and eBooks.
• Location
Wi-Fi and digital compass.
• Sensors
Accelerometer and ambient light sensor.
• Input and output
Dock connector port, 3.5mm stereo headphone jack, built-in speaker and microphone.
• Language support
English, French, German, Japanese, Dutch, Italian, Spanish, Simplified Chinese and Russian.
• Keyboard Support
English (U.S.), English (UK), French (France, Canada), German, Japanese (QWERTY), Dutch, Flemish, Spanish, Italian, Simplified Chinese (Handwriting and Pinyin) and Russian.
• Dictionary support
English (U.S.), English (UK), French, French (Canadian), French (Swiss), German, Japanese, Dutch, Flemish, Spanish, Italian, Simplified Chinese (Handwriting and Pinyin) and Russian.
• Accessibility features
Support for playback of closed-captioned content, VoiceOver screen reader, full-screen zoom magnification, white-on-black display and mono audio.
• PC and Mac compatible.
The very first thing I have to say about the iPad besides the fact it looks really neat, is that it is very easy to set up. I was able to add some of my favorite applications within minutes and it was up and running in no time. Now there were a few points that I was concerned about and the documents creation was for sure my main concern, very close to my email set up.
Even though I have not set up a proper document creator which I am still researching which one is the best (so far pages from iWork’s is taking the lead). Right now I am able to write a complete product review using my notes application which is one of the applications that is pre-installed with the iPad.
In addition, I was able to easily Sync my Outlook contacts to my ipad and transfer all my contacts without any problems at all….I consider the iPad a really neat and customizable gadget as you can find an amazing selection of applications that allow you to do things that I never even though possible to do with a computer.
The battery charge seems to last forever and even though they say it is 10 hours, mine has lasted a couple of days depending on how much I use it of course.
There are a few things that I wish /hope they can change on the iPad and the most important one right now is the fact that it does not support flash and that is a real bummer as so many sites use flash.
The big seller for me is the portability….I can bring my iPad with me anywhere I need, it weighs just 1.5 lbs. and it is 0.5" thin….. Mine is thicker and heavier just because I have the Otterbox case for  iPad , but I would not have it any other way. The more I use the case, the more convinced I am that it is a must have if you own an iPad!
More applications are released every day and you can find pretty much anything that you can think of….Just do a quick search and you will more than likely find free and more advanced applications (these are not usually free, but very cheap) for whatever you need to do with your iPad than you would ever imagine.
You can blow up the screen you are on or save different pages for quick access. It keeps a record of the pages you have visited recently and the screen changes orientation (rotates) to whatever direction you move your iPad…As I said it is a really neat toy!
The tablet is very user friendly and I was able to set up and add any applications I wanted without any problem at all. You can find the iPad at the Apple store and a few retailers across the country (I found that Wal-Mart has one of the best prices around)
Disclosure:
I did this review with my own ipad. My opinions are my own and not by any means influenced by any other part.

Holiday Gift Guide- Sleepy Wrap Review and Giveaway.

Closed.





This is a review I did a few months ago, but wanted to included it on this giveaway:
Finding the perfect baby carrier is certainly not an easy task, there are many different products offered so moms can carry their little ones around and be able to do the chores and everyday errands. And since there are so many products it is really easy to get lost and end up with a baby carrier that doesn’t suit your needs.
Babywearing is the practice of wearing or carrying a baby or child in a sling or other form of carrier. Babywearing is far from new and has been practiced for centuries around the world. In the industrialized world, babywearing has gained popularity in recent decades.
Babywearing allows the wearer to have two free hands to accomplish tasks such as laundry while caring for the baby's needs to be held or breastfed. Babywearing offers a safer alternative to placing a car seat on top of a shopping cart. It also allows children to be involved in social interactions and to see their surroundings as an adult would.
Many sling users have found that it is easier on the back and shoulders than carrying their infant in a car seat. The weight of the child is spread more evenly across the upper body. And if you have back problems like I do, you can certainly appreciate a way to carry your little one around with the less strain to your back possible.
I have been lucky enough to try a few different baby carriers in different styles and baby wearing has gained its way in my heart….Back and shoulders!
I recently had the chance to try a great baby sling: The Organic Sleepy Wrap. The Sleepy Wrap is a Stretchy and very soft sling, perfect for the babies’ delicate skin, which you can get in about a dozen different colors in the original design and two different colors in organic fabric. And it is probably the most comfortable sling I had the pleasure to try so far.
One of the great features of the Sleepy Wrap is that it is totally adaptable so anyone can use it so daddy and mommy can carry their baby around without too much trouble or having to buy different carriers because you loosen or tight the wrap as you wish.
For a non experience wrap sling user like myself, it may take a couple of tries to get the wrap set up correctly before you can get it right, ( the instructions comes with the sling and can also be seen in the Sleepy Wrap website), but once you get it, you see that it is actually really easy. Since the ladybug is a little big to have in the front, I have tried the back carry and I was surprised on how comfortable it is for both the bug and me.
Another really great thing about the Sleepy Wrap is that you can use it in different positions as the little one grows so it is easier for you to still carry her around with the same sling! Not to mention that this great sling also allows you to breast feed your little one while she is comfortably in her carrier….And that is something that I am so going to do with my next baby( no, I am not pregnant….Yet).
But this is definitely the way to go with a newborn, especially when you have another bug that is also going to need attention. It is truly amazing the freedom that the Sleepy Wrap gives you and how very comfortable it is for both mommy and baby.

Holiday Gift Guide- Boon Inc. Review and Giveaway.

Closed.




Boon  Inc. creates innovative kid’s gear with a modern flair. With different high quality products that go from feeding to decoration; Boon gives their creation a clean and simple design that is trendy, attractive and more importantly, effective.
I own and love the Boon Flair Highchair……Believe it or not a highchair made by folks who not only have a great sense of design and used it in the design of this chair but also must actually have kids and know the kind of products a modern parent needs when it comes to feeding chairs!
The reason I was very excited to add the Boon Bug Pod to the Holiday Gift Guide is as I have mentioned numerous times that the ladybug has an non-exhaustive passion for water and how much she loves showers and bath… This in itself is OK by me, but the only problem is the amount of toys that end up on the tub floor! The Boon Bug Pod has proven to be the perfect solution to keep her toys in place and within reach when she is taking a bath and needs them.
The Bug Pod features a lady bug shape and is BPA, Phthalate and PVC free. The Bug Pod can be attached to the wall with screws or my own favorite way with double face tape, the “shell” is detachable and features large holes that allow the water to drain easily out of the Bug Pod. My daughter grabs the shell by the handle in the middle of the bug and dumps her toys in the tub, she can also scoop her toys up when she is done with the bath ( not that she always does, but scooping them and storage is a lot easier with the Bug Pod).
The Bug Pod also features a built-in shelf the can hold shampoo and bubble bath bottles, to keep all your little one need tidy and organized.
Win it:
Boon has kindly offered one lucky Born 2 Impress reader, the chance to win a free Frog or Bug Pod!

Holiday Gift Guide- WellnessMats Review and Giveaway

Closed.






You will probably remember the review and giveaway I featured for the Wellnessmats….. I have mentioned many times about my back issues and if any of you suffer from back problems, then you will know that when you spend some time standing up, your back doesn’t appreciate it…..I cook from scratch and that means that I do spend a good amount of time in front of the stove….And again after a while standing up, my back starts to act up…..
A couple of months ago I found a website called Wellnessmats. This is the information I got from their website and what got my attention towards this product:
“WellnessMat dramatically reduces the fatigue and discomfort associated with long term or stationary standing. The unique one piece construction has a soft inner design structure that serves as a preventative approach against potential back, leg, and foot problems. Our revolutionary concept interacts with the body by suspending your body weight thus reducing impact on the joints. Your weight will frequently shift and rebalance itself, reducing the stress and strain of many daily activities. The Wellness Mat promotes better posture, proper circulation, muscle conditioning and a sense of well being.”
At the time I received the 3’x 2’ mat that I have placed in front of my stove and I have to say that I love the non slip features, but above all I have really noticed a difference with my back. I love the results I am getting from this mat, and I have actually have been thinking about getting another one!
There was such great interest in the mats the last time that I wanted to include them on the Gift Guide as I love the product and know what a great gift it would make. Wellnessmats is participating in the Holday Gift Guide with their newest mat design.
The Motif™ Collection. The result is the same great product, with the same benefits with an added decorative element that makes the mat even more appealing! Each mat within the WellnessMats family is made in the USA with WellnessMats revolutionary Advanced Polyurethane Technology (APT®). This proprietary technology guarantees that these one-piece construction mats will never curl at the edges, never delaminate, and promise extreme longevity and durability, resulting in WellnessMats unprecedented 7-year warranty.
Each mat in the inspired Motif™ Collection will remain utterly buoyant and springy and is stain, bacteria, puncture, and heat resistant. I have my first mat in the kitchen and have place the motif mat in the bathroom and it adds a really nice and elegant touch to the bathroom décor.
