Name It Labels Helps Keep Track Of Your Stuff

Posted on March 24, 2013March 24, 2013 by Mandy

If you have kids, chances are you also have a lot of “stuff” to keep track of.  Backpacks, toys, clothing, and the list goes on and on.  Sometimes it’s easy to identify what belongs to whom, but if your child attends a school where uniforms are pretty much all alike, as well as coats and jackets, sometimes the extra “stuff” just looks all the same.  This is where self-adhesive label printing can come in very handy to help keep track of what belongs to you.

Does your child carry a lunchbox at school that might also be a popular style with everyone else?  How about sports equipment?  If your things are in a community setting, it can be very easy to mistake these things for yours.  Self-adhesive labels from Name It Labels make it super easy to design and apply labels your child will recognize in order to avoid any confusion.  There are the standard name labels, featuring just your child’s name, that can be ordered or you can dress up your design and really personalize it with different shapes and styles. 

As a librarian, I can see that these labels would be perfect for children to have to label their own personal books.  I often times find books in our library that don’t belong to the school, but because a child didn’t write their name inside of it, I have no idea who it belongs to unless they return and ask for it specifically.  These labels would be great for kids who do a lot of reading to have in case of instances like this.

As a kid, I loved seeing my name on my things, especially if I was lucky enough to actually find cool stickers with my name.  Name It Labels are perfect for just about anything you own that you don’t want to lose track of.

funny pedicure

I got a pedicure yesterday.  I hate getting a pedicure.  I realize I’m probably the only woman out there who doesn’t enjoy going to get her feet “all prettied up”, but it’s not a relaxing thing for me and I would seriously rather go to the dentist than have this done. Yes, for real.  Don’t get me wrong, because I love the results when it’s all over with, but I just don’t get why this is considered a relaxing thing.

This most recent experience in beauty adventures wasn’t as bad as the time before.  I swear the time before, the woman who was doing my pedicure fired up an electric nail file that sounded like it would take my foot off.  It didn’t hurt, but it sounded horrible and, of course, all I could think about was this thing seriously taking my foot off.!!!.

Not this time, though.  No electric anything, thank God.  The man (yes, MAN!!  I know….I was just as incredulous/horrified/freaked out, etc. when I realized he would be providing me with my pedicure that day because I had no idea men did this sort of thing) did a great job, all things considered.  I was fine soaking my feet.  I was fine with getting my cuticles trimmed.  I was fine until the “all things considered”, which involves a foot file.  The one that looks like an industrial sized hand-held cheese grater that they scrub the bottom of your feet with.  Scrub my heels with it?  Fine.  However, I just cannot take anything rubbing on the bottom of my feet and this is the part where I come unglued in my seat.  My seat, which is jostling me around like a bad roller coaster.  I get that it’s supposed to be relaxing, that seat massage thingy.  However, when you are as short as me, you have to sort of sit towards the edge of the seat to even reach the foot bath, so it’s like your just shaking non-stop, and I’m sure it looks just as stupid as it feels.  I always end up turning the seat off.

I all but kick this man clear across the room when it’s time to exfoliate the bottom of my feet.  I laugh.  I apologize.  I probably looked like a squirmy toddler sitting on a church pew to everyone in the nail salon.  He laughs and hurries.  All done.  Thank you, Jesus.  A little lotion and polish and $40 later I am flip-flop season ready once again.

But this nonsense about a pedicure being “relaxing”?  I just don’t buy it and strictly consider this “maintenance” I have done for the greater good of all that have to look at my feet when I wear sandals and flip-flops.  Is there some trick to this being more enjoyable or are women just lying to make it sound like this is such an amazing, indulgent beauty treatment?
