    All The Prettys with Cam Home Tech USA

    Hello!!

    I’m here to tell you about my newest collab with CamHome Tech. I was super excited when they reached out to me and I thought that the idea of indoor security cameras was a good addition for my home. I didn’t realize that I would find them so useful to have in my place for so many more reasons. Read on to see how easy the set up was and why I love my new CamHome cameras.

    All The Prettys-CamHome

    I went on the CamHome website and ordered four of their Blackbox 1080p Indoor Home Security Cameras and they arrived pretty quickly.

    These cameras are small in size about 2.5 inches tall and they are cube shaped. The features for such a small camera are super impressive. They rotate around to almost 360 degrees. They move vertically too. The picture quality can be set for up to 1080P. And, better yet you can record video or stills right on the built in SD card, download to your device, or upload to a cloud too.

    The CamHome app lets you access your secure and encrypted feed from your phone or even a tablet like the one I used. I was then ready for set up of the cameras. They can be set on shelves like I chose or mounted on a wall or under a cabinet for a higher vantage point.

    The directions were very user friendly and easy to follow. You follow the same steps for each camera unit separately,               but don’t worry it only takes just a couple of minutes each.

    The app generates a QR code for each camera. And then you let that camera’s “eye” scan it and pair it ready for use.

    All The Prettys-CamHome

    Then you “name” the camera whatever room you decide to place it in, such as “kitchen one” or “living room front” lol. Ok so I need more creative names maybe haha.

    So here’s an update. I’ve had the cameras now for a few weeks.  here was a bonus use for me. I have had some problems in the past with my pool guy and I was never sure if he would come or not some weeks…sigh..it was a mess this summer.  My pool actually turned green because his assistant had told him that he was covering the route. So since, one of the cameras in my kitchen is set on my window ledge, I can now just swivel it around. This lets me look over my backyard and now KNOW if he has made it or not! #bonus!

    But, The best thing is also checking in on my fur-babies. Sometimes Cleo has been known to destroy things lol. Ok many times… her puppy bed, her brother’s bed, her bowl, her toys, the puppy pads…ok you get the picture. Now I can check on them while I’m away at work or out. And the best feature is a two way microphone. That’s right I can TALK to her!! Check out the video below.

    Lastly,  these cameras are really affordable too. One camera is only $59 whereas some of lesser quality can cost a couple of hundred each. Let me know your thought below. I will link the website down below so you can check them out for yourself!

  • Pet Friendly Graduate Hotel Staycation

    Pet Friendly Graduate Hotel Staycation

    Hello Lovelies!

    The pups and I recently got invited to stay at the Graduate Tempe Hotel, located in Tempe, Arizona. It sits across from the ASU campus and is in walking distance to Mill Ave, which has a lot of restaurants and shops. We got there early on a Saturday afternoon and we met up with my friend and photographer/Tia to the pups Jacqueline.  I was happy that the check in process was really easy. The front desk staff members were so sweet and helpful, since I had all my stuff, and Whiskey and Cleo both with me. This was the ultimate treatment in pet friendliness!

    The biggest surprise was that each pup got a Barkbox full of awesome toys and treats. These boxes are especially designed for the Graduate Hotel’s theme of school/university fun.

    Whiskey was so excited he kept sniffing at the boxes, it was hard to get him to take a photo haha. Another nice touch is that the hotel lets you borrow a bowl for your stay. Thank you to Bark Box who makes you pet feel so spoiled!

    The hotel room is decorated so colorfully with a touch of whimsy and nostalgia about school all about. The pups were so funny posing with their Barkbox with idea they want to be insta-famous haha!

    Since I don’t have a balcony at home, the pups were  a bit reluctant to come outside. I thought the view was fun haha.

    I wanted to find an outfit that would be comfortable to explore the hotel in; yet, not get messed up playing with the pups. I’ll link all the pieces down below for you from my FIRST outfit!

    The hotel has two restaurants on the property. The Normal Diner is just that, a retro inspired diner. This place is open early for breakfast at 6:30 am and I had really good chai tea latte in the morning.

    The main restaurant Cafe Tapacubo is Mexican food with one side opening to a cute dog friendly patio and the other side open to the pool where they serve poolside eats too!  When my photographer, Jacqueline and I got to the hotel we were both starving! We didn’t eat right away because we wanted to shoot some of the photos you’ve already seen due to limited daylight. Basically, we waited because we had some work to do!!

    All The Prettys-Pet Friendly Staycation

    I ordered their chicken fajitas, which were gluten-free and my cocktail was called Perfectly Orange. It had gin, aperol, orange bitters, cucumber and simple syrup (the menu actually lists tequila, but I’m not a fan).

    Jacqueline got some tacos and a mimosa. So good!

    After dinner we decided to take the dogs on a walk over to Mill Ave, they behaved ok! Whiskey tried to start a brawl with a passing Golden Retriever, but other than that, it all went well. We later had some Sangria and ice cream sandwiches for desert (the humans not the pups).

    They listen to her better than me!

    When we came back to the hotel the pups were properly tired out. They posed so very cutely for us then.

    The next morning Jacqueline and I had an early morning photoshoot on the rooftop terrace at the hotel. The hotel had hosted a weeding reception the night before. We actually met the bride and groom in the elevator that night. The rooftop has a full service bar and the hotel hosts yoga classes sometimes up there too. I wanted to feature my SECOND outfit on that colorful rooftop.

    I saw these pants in the window of store and knew I had to try them on. I super excited they fit. I’m also loving all sorts of colors this season that I’ve never worn before, such as yellow. I’m obsessed!

    The hotel lobby is so cute! It has the comfy big chairs that sit along this fun gallery wall.

    Now for the pup’s photoshoot! Whiskey (a Yorkie mix) and Cleo (a Jack Russell mix) both got some cute hoodies awhile back so we brought those along for their staycation. We spent a little time trying to get them to both to look at the camera haha

    Our stay was filled with lots of fun memories and a little adventure thrown in when the pups momentarily locked themselves in the room. No it wasn’t my fault (I secretly think Cleo planned it)!  We want to thank the staff so much for being very nice, from the front desk, the staff at Tapacubo and even the nice Engineer who helped the pups finally get  out! We really loved our stay at the Graduate and we hope to see you again soon! So amazing to have a complete pet friendly hotel right in my own town!
