How I Stay Organized with Artful Agenda {Digital Planner Review}
As the blogger and photographer behind Living Outside the Stacks, I independently select and write about stuff I love and things I think you’ll enjoy too. Living Outside the Stacks has affiliate and advertising partnerships so I get revenue from sharing this content and from your purchase. Thank you for your support. I have always been a planner girl. In fact, my daughter reminded me this morning of how I used to carry around a purple snake skin planner with a bunch of little tabbies and sticky notes poking out. I used different colored ink pens to differentiate between my family, school, and personal calendars. I also doodled in the…

Product Review: IDentity Lingerie
Disclaimer: I was provided with a pair of pajamas courtesy of IDentity Lingerie in exchange for a review. Rest assured, this arrangement did not influence my opinion at all. I’m a creature of comfort. I come home from work and immediately slip into a pair of sweat pants, an oversized tee, and crunchy-girl sandals {aka Birkenstocks}. I’m sure The Hubs finds this look so attractive. Not. Truth be told, he has squawked a time or two about how I bring my “A game” when I’m outside the house and then scruff it down when I’m in the house. My argument has always been that I should be comfortable in my home.…

New Specs from Firmoo {and a discount code}
Disclaimer: This post contains an affiliate link. If you make a purchase using that link, I will receive a small commission. I purchased my glasses with my own money; the opinions shared is my own. I was about 7 or 8 years old when I got my first pair of glasses. I remember walking out of the doctor’s office, looking at my mom, and saying “I didn’t know there were individual leaves on trees.” For years, trees had looked like brown rectangles with green circles. And people looked like walking blurs. I didn’t know what I wasn’t seeing until I did. My vision was bad. It’s still incredibly bad. My…

SmileBrilliant Professional Teeth Whitening Review and Giveaway {#Sponsored} {CLOSED}
Before I say anything else, I want to say thank you to the hubs for being my guinea pig. He was such a good sport throughout the whole teeth whitening process. Honestly, I was looking forward to the silence. Thought I’d settle in with a magazine for a bit. Not so. Via text and numerous grunts, the hubs told me which pictures to take, how he felt through the process, etc. So this was truly a team effort. Recently, I was given the opportunity to review SmileBrilliant, a professional teeth whitening kit that comes with an LED light. We chose to have the hubs try the product out for 2…

KeyFolio Executive for iPad Air Review {#Sponsored}
Y’all know that when I first received Inez, my iPad 2, from the hubs I wasn’t sure what I was going to do with her. I mean, I had a camera, a cell phone, and a beautiful netbook that I carried everywhere. What did I need an iPad for? Oh, was I in for a surprise. I use Inez for reading, quick blogging, taking notes, and keeping in touch with the hubs. The only reason I don’t use her for all of my blogging/typing needs is because of the lack of keyboard. Hunting and pecking on the onscreen keyboard is for the birds. And we know how I feel about birds.…

Modern Design Tungsten Ring Review {#Sponsored}
About three weeks ago, I bought the hubs a Tungsten bracelet. It was something that I didn’t think he’d pick for himself but something that I thought he’d like because, well, it’s different from anything else he owns. When I presented him with the bracelet, he was genuinely surprised and, more importantly, totally “in like” with it. So we started searching for a Tungsten ring… A few days later, I was contacted by Modern Design, Inc. with the opportunity to review a Tungsten ring. Seriously, is that not the best timing ever? I immediately called up the hubs and asked if he was game. Of course, he said “yes”.

The Snugg iPad Case Review {#Sponsored}
When the hubs first presented me with Inez, aka my sweet little iPad 2, I was all What am I gonna do with this thing? I mean I was grateful and everything but it wasn’t at the top of my list of must haves or wants or even kinda sorta would like to have. I really was not interested. At all. Well, I can honestly say, this is one of those cases where the hubs knew me better than I knew myself. I take my iPad just about everywhere. It’s convenient and fits perfectly in my handbag. To protect it, I was using a hardback case with a zippered pouch,…

Pantene Truly Natural Collection Review {Sponsored}
So remember a few months ago when I grabbed the scissors and cut off all my hair? You can see the what it looked like by clicking here. Anyway, it’s been nearly a month now so I decided to do a hair update as well as a review of the Pantene Truly Natural Collection.

Review and Giveaway: Betty Crocker Mississippi Mud Supreme Bars (Closed)
I know, can you believe I’m reviewing Betty Crocker Mississippi Mud Supreme Bars on my blog? Trust me, I went back and forth over whether or not I would do this but, ultimately, I decided to review the Mississippi Mud Bars and offer a giveaway. Why? Because my children love having gooey chocolate snacks and I don’t mind them eating them. In moderation. That’s the key to maintaining a healthy lifestyle ~ moderation. Tonight my daughters, Miss 16 and Miss 14, had a choir concert so I thought coming home to some Mississippi Mud Bars would be a nice treat for them. And, boy, was I right! They’re easy to…
