Trendy Smart Phone Accessories from MyBruneiStore




Do you love phone accessories? I do. 15 years ago, I didn't even have a cell phone. I had no need for one. I had dial up internet and it was ok. At that point, it was the coolest thing ever and I didn't mind not being able to use my house phone to search the slow loading pages of information, saving me a trip all the way into town to use the library.

I moved into the city and my life was forever changed, we had NO LIMITS! I had a cell phone, I could talk from the highway without having to find an exit with a payphone. HAHAHA, A pay phone! I actually saw a pay phone at a gas station last summer. I had to stop and show my kids that it didn't just happen in the movies. I felt old but their mind was blown. 

So with all of the technological advances in the world, even my 4-year-old niece had a tablet. We are a world of life at the end of our fingertips. My daughters were so different at their milestone ages. My oldest at 10, "Mom, can I ask you something?" about everything. My youngest at 10 years old and still to this day, "Mom, can I tell you something?". 

It really does blow me away. So, we just roll with the changes. Now that everyone we know has a device at the end of their arm, it's completely normal to love the accessories. I got to work with an awesome store that has so many of the coolest and trendiest accessories. It's the MyBruneiStore

We got several reviews from them in the past including the 2 in 1 UV pen light, super hero t-shirt, and more.

What I have to show you this time are some cool accessories that will go with any device apple, android or windows. 

The Universal Wall Phone Holder is a wall mount that you can stick anywhere so it will cradle your device while it charges. No more worries of "Are my cords long enough? Will someone knock it off the table, desk, or counter? None of those worries at all. 

The back has a 3m sticky pad that super sticks to the surface of your choice. Whether it is a wall, desk, table, or anything, it sticks right to it. 

The other awesome accessory is a Fashion Phone Holder POP Expanding Stand and Grip Socket. I love this. I got it in a pretty giraffe print. How it works is it sticks to the back of the device to be able to hold it easier without slipping. It even works with propping your device so you can hands-free stream movies and videos. The back of it sticks on or it can slide right into a holder. 

These are both so convenient. I received these products at a discount to facilitate this review. If you have any questions, please feel free to email us directly at grovesamy81@gmail.com or amy@aarlreviews.com

Helping Kids Save Money the Fun Way #MoneySavvyPig



How do you teach your kids to save? Have you came up with a solid plan? I have tried a few different ways but, I think i have finally found one that will really work. And, I get to host a giveaway on it too so , I want as much feed back as I can get. I think its really cool.

So, of course you all remember the old trusty piggy bank. I think we all had one, in one way or another. Fill it up and see what you can save. Or get it half way full and go to the corner store for a bag of dime candy. I'm kinda sad my kids will never know what that's like. I think the low man on the totem pole is still a quarter at the least, maybe thirty five cents.

It's hard to save when it seems like your money is gone after one tiny splurge. I feel that frustration even as an adult. So what is it you are asking right? It's the Money Savvy Pig piggy bank from Money Savvy Generation. It makes what seems like a life long goals to a kid, break down into smaller, more feasible, and visually pleasing goals. I love it!

Instead of just one goal, it offers four separate goals. It's the perfect personal financial institution for kids, even adults. Seeing the money grow and know what it's for, is a great motivator to fill it up. The sections include Save, Spend, Donate, and Invest.

These are personalize-able with stickers so the money manager (my kiddo) can make realistic goals to suit her needs. Each quadrant has it's own slit at the top and it's own hole on the bottom. That's great for reaching goals and being able to empty each chamber as it needs to be done. I remember my old glass piggy I had when I was little. I had to break it to get it open, sad face.


The tabs on the bottom of the piggy bank are labeled to go to the correct chamber so there is no mistake from the top or the bottom. They twist and lock into place too. No accidental spillage. I love you Duck Tape but I won't be needing you on this adventure. 

Personalizing savings is so cool. The Money Savvy Pig piggy bank comes with a sheet of stickers for each chamber. There is a blank oval right above the chamber name to put the stickers right on there. That way, there is no confusion at all. This is a great way to get kids to manage their money.


Oh ya, also has little piggy eyes too. The options are brown, blue, and green. My little munchkin's eyes are blue so she wanted piggy's to be blue too. The super shiny stickers for the money saving reminders are fun designs and there are even blank silver ones to let them be creative.

If you are looking for a fun and easy way to teach our next generation how to manage their financials from an early age, this is an amazing way.
