Alright - an actual review!

I know I said months ago I was gonna really start this blog, but now I REALLY am! I have a plethora of products to review and need to get some real posts going so I can review even better stuff :).

A little bit of background about me first: I am not new to the world of blogging, but I am fairly new to the world of reviewing. I stumbled upon Amazon product reviewing and it has been absolutely awesome! Of course I enjoy trying out new products, but I also love giving sellers some reviews with actual content, and maybe even helping out a potential buyer or two along the way. I've blogged about nail polish in the past and I do think I'm going to start that blog back up, but one step at a time, right?

Anyway, today I have a cool product that I've had sitting around for awhile and I'm not really sure why I never opened it up until today. It's these cool chalkboard labels:

You can find them on Amazon here: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00KFX6PC4 currently retailing for $9.99 with free Amazon Prime shipping. 

I was a bit hesitant to use them at first because I didn't have any chalkboard pens and I knew my writing would be horrid with actual chalk as these do run semi small, around 2" wide by 1" tall. But I picked up a clearance chalkboard pen from Target, and while I don't love pen/results of the pen, I do love these labels!

I decided for now to use them to label the drawers on my hutch, since I know we're going to be moving in the near future and I don't want to waste these on the cabinets in my current rental house. Though I did position one crookedly at first to see how easy it was to remove/replace. It took a bit of an effort, though I think that was partially due to me not wanting to smudge the chalk, but it re-positioned no problem!

Here's a shot of the labels size wise compared to the chalk pen, and placed on my hutch:

As you can see they do run fairly small, but they're meant to be used on jars and stuff like that. I really like my old hutch so I don't mind the small labels, they don't stand out TOO much but it's nice to know what drawer is what.

I don't think I'm going to do my whole hutch yet until I get ahold of better chalk markers/pens and can do the rest in cute colors :) But I am very pleased with the quality of the labels and the stickers used. These would be SUPER cute for a party or a wedding as drink labels!

*I received the reviewed product at a discount/free for my honest and unbiased review.
