Announcing Our Awesome Art Giveaway For November!

Awesome Art

As a newlywed, you probably have a metric ton of fabulous photos. There’s the digitals from your wedding photographer, the pictures that your friends and family took of your Big Day as well as all the images of you and your love on your honeymoon. So what’s a girl supposed to do with all of these photos besides make an album?

Art.com is giving one of our newlywed blog readers the chance win an 18×24 printed canvas image (or 25×31 framed image) valued at $150 to hang in their home! The Photos to Art feature on Art.com will allow our winner to upload an image of her choice (be it wedding, honeymoon or even a favorite family photo) and translate it onto high-quality photographic paper or artist-grade stretched canvas.

It’s really this idea of “making” a great photograph that is the inspiration behind the new Photos to Art service at Art.com. A great photograph starts with the image but how it’s printed, personalized and finished makes all the difference. Photos to Art makes it easy to transform your digital wedding, honeymoon or family images into high-quality, large-scale, beautifully-finished and ready-to-hang wall art.

Unlike mass photographic printing, Photos to Art images are individually inspected for image quality and then printed, either onto high-quality photographic paper or artist-grade cotton canvas. For photographs on paper, a wide variety of mouldings and acid-free mats are available to create beautiful, custom-framed pieces that will last a lifetime. Photos on canvas are stretched onto 1 ½” wooden support bars, museum-wrapped with hand-painted black edges and covered with an anti-UV acrylic finish to protect the image from dust, fading and moisture. Custom packaging ensures your personalized artwork will arrive at your doorstep in excellent condition, and all products are backed with a 100% satisfaction guarantee.

Ready to win our awesome art giveaway? Leave a comment on this, or any of our Newlywed Art Posts on Mondays this month and you’ll be automatically entered to win. Tell us all about the photos from your wedding and honeymoon. We’d love to know what image you’d want to have printed and where you plan to hang it. The randomly selected contest winner will be announced on November 30th!!  If we don’t hear back from the winner within 2 weeks, we will randomly select a new winner to make sure someone ends up with this great goodie!

Newlywed: Not an Excuse to Let Yourself Go!

Feeling like you should let yourself go? If you’re like the majority of newlywed women, you’ve just finished a pre-wedding diet & exercise regime, beauty boot camp and planning the largest party of your entire young life. After all that, it totally makes sense to enjoy your honeymoon and let lose a little bit. Those are the key words: a little bit. Newlywed life can be a slippery slope of take-out, lounging around and basking in your newly married status.

Excessive “basking” can result in a shocking moment when you look in the mirror and realize it’s been a few months since you’ve seen the gym, salon or spa! The solution: Make some appointments…STAT!
We’re here to help! Are you dreading the trip for you next Brazilian bikini wax (but you know your husband loved it on the honeymoon)? We’ve got the solution for you! Extend the “honeymoon phase” a while longer with the help of BareEase & Cream. This kit includes a physician-formulated cream will not only erase the pain and discomfort associated with waxing, but its skin soothing components will leave your skin feeling soft, silky and sexy post salon visit! The cream is quickly absorbed into the skin underneath the cute pink panty made of latex, which keeps the cream where it’s supposed to be and not on your 7 jeans!

We want to make sure that our newlywed blog readers have the upper hand when going bare down there, so leave a comment on this post and be entered to win a free BareEase & Cream kit! The winner will be announced next Tuesday (November 2nd)!

Have any of you ladies used this product before?  We’d love to hear your feedback or any crazy waxing experiences you’ve had…so leave a comment!
