Customize Your Phone + Tablet Cases With Casetagram! #GIVEAWAY

Through the years technology has opened many doors to different outlets for sharing and displaying our memories. One of the most recent being the very popular photo & video sharing application known as Instagram. I, myself have become a little obsessed in taking photos of anything and everything via this app! Whether it’s capturing priceless moments of my daughter or snapping a photo of a delicious meal, I am ready to share away. Our favorite photos may be preserved on the interenet through social networking but what if we could bring those photos to life offline? Casetagram makes that possible, and in such a unique way!

Casetagram is a social design service that allows you to create customized cases for your gadgets using your favorite Instagram, Facebook, or uploaded photos. Using your selected photos they are able to create high quality cases with their patent pending technology. Then they deliver your creation right to your door! They currently offer cases for select iPhone, iPad, iPod, Samsung Galaxy, and Nexus models. Prices vary by device. I was given the opportunity to order a case for my iPhone 5 and the process was incredibly easy. The hardest part was choosing my favorite pictures to use!

You can download the Casetagram application for free in your iTunes store or Android marketplace. The design process only takes a few minutes unless you are like me and indecisive. I must have tried out every single design with an assortment of pictures a handful of times. You choose which device you are shopping for, pick a template, then decide on the images you want to use. One of my favorite features of this application is that you can upload the photos and drag them into the spots you think they fit best. This makes your case completely customizable to your liking. You can add filters, texts, or fun pre-made picture tiles also. The last step is to device which style case you would like. I had those choice of frosty white or charcoal. Since I am the owner of a white iPhone I decided to go with the frosty white, which is actually more on the clear side.

When my Casetagram case arrived it came wrapped in tissue within the cutest little brown box. This would make such a wonderful gift for a close friend or significant other. It may be a few months early, but can you say stocking stuffer? Perfect size! My phone snapped right inside the case making it snug as a bug. It fits nice and tight on your phone which I really like. I hate when cases are loose and I have to worry about it sliding or falling off the phone.

I love my Casetagram case because it allows me to preserve my memories and also gives me a way to appreciate them every single day. They are affordable, sleek, high quality, and trendy! In addition to assisting you in designing the perfect case, they also have regular challenges that give you the chance to win prizes. Submit your design, gain votes, and be a challenge winner.

You can learn more about Casetagram by visiting their website and also downloading the FREE Casetagram APP via the Apple iTunes Store. Dont forget to get social! Give Casetagram a “like” on Facebook, follow along on Twitter, pin your little heart out on Pinterest, and share your creative cases on Instagram. See what other fans have created and get ideas for future designs! Personalize your device and share the love with friends and family.

Music To My Ears: Frends Headphones At The Best Buy Mobile Store!

Music is my escape. Sometimes I just need to curl up on the couch, grab a cup of coffee, and drift off into a land of beautiful tunes. This is one of my favorite things to do when I am taking “mommy” time out of my typical day. Having high quality headphones is important for someone like me, but I’ve never made the time to search for the perfect pair. I was elated when accepted into a recent Best Buy blogger program in which participants would receive a pair of GORGEOUS Frends Taylor headphones. Finally, a high end listening device for the ladies to appreciate!

I placed my online order through Best Buy and scheduled a pick up from my nearest Best Buy Mobile store. Before this visit I wasn’t familiar with the mobile locations and spent some time exploring what they had to offer. They had several mobile devices, tablets, phone cases, and a wall geared towards to the music lover. There were various headphones to test but I went straight for the rose gold Taylors. I plugged my iPhone in and it was time to jam. I was blown away at the sound quality and the comfort of the ear pieces. Time to get my own!

Being this was my first Best Buy blogger project, I had no idea what to expect when I arrived at my local Best Buy Mobile store. The staff was helpful, willing to answer questions, and even inquired about my blogging endeavors! The Taylor headphones had been sold out for quite some time but there was a special package waiting just for me in the back room. The kind store associate assisting me handed over a black package with a welcome note attached. I felt like I was receiving the V.I.P treatment! It made me realize how thankful I am to be a blogger and receive these opportunities. I was encouraged to continue looking around the store and take as many photos as I desired.

Even though I had already experienced the Taylor headphones at the Best Buy Mobile Store, I was excited to open my own once I got home! I fell in love all over again with the beautiful rose gold hardware. The jewelry inspired designs and carefully handcrafted metal are what make these particular headphones unique. They are stylish, trendy, and eye catching. I have never owned such a beautiful set of headphones before! Impressed would be an understatement. I remember spotting a girl on the street wearing these a few weeks ago and I honestly could not stop looking at them. 

The white and rose gold accents really do compliment one another. Together they create an elegant look that ladies get to rock!  They’re edgy and sleek but at the same time they give off a very “rich” appearance. The crisp white leather is classic and versatile while the rose gold adds that special bit of glam to the headphones. I felt like a million bucks wearing these!

One of the most important features I look for in headphones would have to be comfort. I prefer over the ear headphones because they don’t apply pressure and the quality of sound is greater. The ear pieces on the Taylor headphones have memory foam cushions to ensure that your listening experience is enjoyable. The softness doesn’t stop there! The soft touch fabric cord is also designed for comfort.  These headphones look just as good as they sound, if not better.

The soft touch cord is equipped with a three button mic which includes volume, music, and phone control. These headphones are not only to listen to your favorite playlist but can also be used to hold a conversation with a friend. Either way the sound quality is amazing. There is so fuzzy interference or cutting out. When I am wearing them I almost become unaware of what is going on around me! It may sound odd but this is another favorite feature of mine. I hate when I am listening to music and can hear the dogs barking like crazy goons. The Taylors block everything out and allow me to listen my music in peace. Close your eyes, lay back, and let the 40mm drivers give you a surround sound experience.

The headphones even came with a softly lined white pouch for storage. This makes it easy to fold them up and take on the go! I normally bring my existing headphones with me when I leave the house, but to avoid getting tangled in my bag I have to keep them in the car. With the Frends Taylor headphones being collapsible, all I have to do it fold them nicely and tuck them into the small pouch. This way they fit perfectly in my purse and work bag without getting damaged!


You can also be the proud owner of stylish Frends Taylor headphones by visiting and purchasing at your local Best Buy Mobile Store. These stand along stores are typically found in your nearby malls or shopping centers. They are focused around mobile devices, accessories, and popular electronics. Since the friendly staff is highly trained and non-commissioned, your shopping experience is guaranteed to be more personable. The employees take their time in getting to know what you are looking for and what product will best suit your needs. If you are in the market for a cell phone, they are prepared to compare plans and also educate you on the devices sold. In addition, they can set up and activate your new phone, transfer your contacts and data and set you up with the complimentary Walk Out Working™ program. To find a Best Buy Mobile specialty store, go to www.BestBuyMobile.com. Happy shopping!

For 10% off your Frends headphone purchase, visit here! This promotion is only valid between 7/28/13 and 8/10/13 so make sure to act fast. This coupon can only be used at Best Buy Mobile Specialty Stores.

Disclosure: Young At Heart Mommy has been compensated in the form of a Best Buy Gift Card and/or received the product/service at a reduced price or for free.

On The Road Again: UBOOLY Road Trip Pack Makes Traveling FUN! #UboolyRoadTrip

July has not been a very kind month here in South Florida. Rain, thunderstorms, and minor floods have take over our Summer fun!  This Summer I had big plans of exciting travels with my family but the crummy weather sure put a damper on them. For many days we postponed our journeys and waited until the dark clouds drifted away. Finally, the optimistic weather man shared a light of hope with a clear forecast. The sun would be making an exclusive appearance! With a small window of enjoyable weather ahead, this past week was our chance to hit the beach and soak up those warm rays we missed so dearly. Colorful beach towels, sunscreen, snacks, and sand shovels wasted no time taking over the car. While mommy checked her list twice, Toodie made sure that her fluffy friend Ubooly was also prepared for a memorable day at the beach. Remember this plushy cutie pie? I first introduced him here, and since then he has become a part of the family! With the new Road Trip Pack available in the Ubooly Lab, our travels were sure to be filled with laughs and learning.

Just like the many other Ubooly Lab packs, the Road Trip lesson plan makes learning fun through creativity and imagination. You may be traveling many miles to your destination, but with this little guy your child will be entertained the whole ride.  This travelin’ pack offers educational games, riddles, jokes, songs, and activities to help the time pass. Before we even entered the car Toodie had Ubooly wide awake and ready to play. Long car rides can be such a bore for children and even adults. We count the mile markers, listen to repetitive songs on the radio, and attempt to take a nap while in a contorted position! Thank goodness for Ubooly and his quirky personality. He had all of us interacting through on the road scavenger hunts, catchy songs, license plate spotting, and memory games. Not only did this help to pass the many miles, but it allowed all of us to do a little family bonding while on our way to the beach! As always, Toodie was completely delighted by Ubooly and enjoyed her back seat adventures. This Road Trip pack is a MUST for short, long, or around the corner trips.

The Road Trip Pack is now available in the UBOOLY Lab along with several other lesson plans including Seasons, Counting, Grammar, and even Teeth Brushing! The list is also expanding regularly to include new learning experiences and engaging activities. You can purchase each pack with your Ubooly credits giving your child the option to choose what topic they would like to learn about. As I have mentioned before, when they are not playing the lesson packs Ubooly still provides a ton of fun. He tells jokes, sings songs, sends you off into paradise, and shares funny stories. Eventually he will blend right on in with the family, making his home with fellow stuffed animals. Ubooly has been a breath of fresh air for Toodie and has helped her learn so many new things! 

You can connect with UBOOLY by liking on Facebook, tweetin’ on Twitter, pinning adventures on Pinterest, and sharing on Instagram.  We love this plushy critter and I can assure you that your family will too!
