Redesign your brand with Logojoy

This is a sponsored conversation written by Wrapped Up U N on behalf of Logojoy.


Looking to redesign your brand logo for the new year? Your online brand identity is important and it often leaves a first impression on your customers. In my line of work as a blogger, it gives other companies a glimpse of what I'm about and also helps me stand out in a crowd. I know you are asking yourself what makes Logojoy different? Logojoy uses artificial intelligence technology to create new logos for every single customer, no cookie cutter logos here!








Recently I had the pleasure of trying out the logo design service offered by Logojoy. It is easy to use with step by step instructions that will help you develop the perfectly designed logo for your company. The logos it creates look great and offered tons of choices to pick from. Here's how it works:

  • First, you will be asked to pick 5 or more logo styles you do like.
  • Next, you are able to pick the color palette you like best.
  • You then pick an iconic representation this is optional (such as a tool, animal, building, etc.)
  • Your final option is to look at your designed logo and adjust it.


I was personally very impressed with how simple and stress-free the service is. I'm the 1st to admit I'm not the most technically advanced user out there. The process was easy from start to finish. I absolutely love the end result of the Logojoy logo that I was able to create. It's exquisite in every way and it a perfect fit for my blog. It's simple and southern, everything I wanted. This is the logo I came up with after answering a few questions.




The cost is really reasonable and budget friendly. You can pick from 3 different options for packages and prices. There is a $20 basic package is for 1 low-resolution logo. The $65 premium package offers a high-resolution logo plus all the fonts, files and different versions for different backgrounds, plus the option to make changes, re-download and lots more. The $165 enterprise package offers the same as the premium package plus a 1-hour consultation with a designer. *Prices and packages are subject to change without notice.*

Check them out today to get your brand noticed in the new year!

As always, keep it southern yall!

Christmas Cookie Fun with Tovolo

December 19, 2017




With Christmas, just days away lots of people are baking cookies. This year I was thrilled to work with a company that embraces the love of baking as much as I do. We were sent some cool cookie cutters from Tovolo from their Christmas collection. What is great about these cookie cutters is that even if you are not a cookie aficionado you can still make perfect cookies. With each set, you are able to make 6 different patterns. These give you a guide for decorating but also look great to just use as a stamp for the dough. My kids had a great time using them and were so very proud of the cookies they made...aren't they just perfect for Santa?


Winter Wonderland Cookie Cutters
The Tovolo Winter Wonderland Rounds are a 6-in-1 cookie cutter set that includes a round cookie cutter and 3 reversible Winter Wonderland templates. The templates imprint each cookie with your favorite Winter Wonderland pattern and act as your guide to make professional-looking cookies every time. All pieces snap together to store easily.
Set of 6-Templates reverse giving you 6 designs in 3 plates

The Ginger Boys will melt your heart and fill your stomach! This gang of 6 lovable characters is just one of many of our reversible cut-and-press cookie cutter sets. It includes the Ginger Boy cutter and three reversible Ginger Boy templates that make decorating easy and fun. Each press template imprints the dough with your favorite personality and acts as a guide to help you make professional-looking cookies every time. All pieces snap together to store easily.

My sugar cookie recipe

Yield: depends on the thickness of cookies
Soft cut out sugar cookie recipe that keeps its shape and dough does not need to be chilled before baking- perfect edges every time!

Ingredients:
  • 1 Cup butter, softened
  • 1 Cup granulated white sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 egg
  • 1 teaspoons baking powder
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350° F.
In the bowl of your mixer cream butter and sugar until smooth.
Beat in extracts and egg.
In a separate bowl combine baking powder with flour and add a little at a time to the wet ingredients. The dough will be very stiff. If it becomes too stiff for your mixer turn out the dough onto a countertop surface.
I DO chill my dough overnight BUT you do not need to.
Divide into workable batches, roll out onto a floured surface and cut. You want these cookies to be on the thicker side (closer to 1/4 inch rather than 1/8).
Bake at 350 for 6-8 minutes. Let cool on the cookie sheet until firm enough to transfer to a cooling rack.

Tovolo also offers a wonderful measuring set that I absolutely adore. It's easy to use and even easier to read! Plus they are magnetic and nesting to keep them together for better storage.


Magnetic Nested Measuring System
With this magnetically-connected measuring system, you never have to search for lost measuring cups and spoons again! This complete set stacks neatly within itself for compact storage. Set includes: 1/4 tsp, 1/2 tsp, 1 tsp, 1 tbsp, 2 tbsp, 1/4 cup, 1/3 cup, 1/2 cup, 1 cup and 3 cup measuring pieces
  • Ideal for wet or dry ingredients
  • Strong magnets keep pieces secure
  • Etched, easy-to-read markings won’t fade

Best baking wishes from our kitchen to yours.
As always, keep it southern yall!
