Cheerz DIY Photo Book Review + Promo Code

10 August 2015

Cheerz App DIY Photo Book Review and Promo Code

Cheers App DIY Photo Book, £16.95 (Promo Code: YSIS – £4 off)

The Cheerz app lets you easily order prints of your Instagram, Facebook, Dropbox or Camera Roll photos, straight from the comfort of your smartphone (iOs & Android). My iPhone and I are inseparable – I do my food shopping from it, I read blogs, I keep track of James’ feeds, I catch up with the news and social media, and I’m constantly taking pictures with it. So when Cheerz got in touch with me asking if I would like to try one of their products, I immediately saw this as an opportunity to create something memorable for me to keep from my pregnancy, which I shared on my Instagram. But before I tell you more about my Pregnancy Photo Book, I shall tell you a little bit about Cheerz and what it has to offer.

The Cheerz app is available as a free download from the App Store or Google Play Store. You have lots of options of what to order: square prints, subtitled ones, photo strips, magnets, posters, frames, boxes, and the one I chose – the DIY Photo Book. I found the whole process easy and user-friendly; I’m quite particular with the apps I download, and unless they have an easy-to-navigate interface, they get deleted very quickly from my phone. Cheerz impressed me in that respect and I was able to oder my Photo Book one-handed, whilst breastfeeding James at the same time. Oh yes, go me!

With the DIY Photo Book, priced at £16.95, you get a hardcover black book, which in real-life is surprisingly sparkly (in a good way!), with 22 pages (6.5” x 6.5”) and 22 square photos coming separately in a little pouch at the back of the book. Each page has a self-adhesive area in the centre for you to stick your photos on, hence the DIY part. (Note: the DIY Photo Book has changed to 20 pages and 20 photos.)

Once you choose which product you want and press the ‘Start’  button, you’re prompted to choose your photos either from your Camera Roll, Instagram, Facebook or Dropbox. I went ahead and chose 22 photos related to my pregnancy from Instagram, added a caption, a little emoji to each of them and put them in chronological order.

As I briefly mentioned above, the whole ordering process couldn’t have been easier and I found myself ‘proceeding to payment’  within 20 minutes of starting to choose my photos. It didn’t take long to receive a confirmation by email, and I was able to track my parcel and order status straight from the app, which I found very convenient.

The book arrived exactly one week from the day I ordered it, which is reasonable, but not overly quick. It had a small tear on the front cover, and you can see on the photos; it was a bit of a shame, but it only affects the book aesthetically. Cheerz kindly offered to reprint my book, and they told me the same would be offered to all customers, which I thought was very good customer service!

I sat down with my cup of tea (and baby monitor!) and started putting together my book, reliving the memories of my pregnancy – it’s only been 3 months since James was born and I’m already getting all broody again! Anyway, back to the book.

I assumed that because it comes with 22 photos, that I would have 22 pages to stick the photos, but instead, mine only had 20 pages with the self-adhesive area, which is not necessarily a problem, if it weren’t for the fact that my book tells a story, from the start of my pregnancy until the end, with the birth of my son James. Unfortunately, I realised a little bit too late that there wasn’t enough room for the last two photos, but I’m sure I can manage to incorporate the remaining photos somehow. (Note: the DIY Photo Book has changed to 20 pages and 20 photos.) I’ve even improvised and put the last picture as the front cover, which wasn’t planned, but I think it looks nice.

Overall, I’m very pleased with my experience using Cheerz on my phone to order a photo book quickly and simply, and because I want you all to try the service for yourselves, I was able to get a cheeky little discount code for you! Just enter the code YSIS when you get to the order summary screen, before entering you address details, and get £4 off orders worth £8 or more. You don’t need to order a Photo Book, you can order any of the products available from Cheerz, such as magnets, posters and strips. The code is valid until 24/08/2015. Go make the most of it! :)

    Gorgeous! What a brilliant way to remember such an amazing journey. I’ve made a few photo books before (more of a diy/craft thing, really) but I might just have to give this a go! Ohohoh, and if anyone else is looking at jumping on that promo code (I know I am!), I found this page – http://my-books.com/nz/photo-books/#photo-book-tips – has some pretty good ideas for making your first photo book. Hopefully mine looks as good as yours when it’s done!! lol :)

    Thanks Ysis!

Snow day!! ☃️ We have two very excited childre Snow day!! ☃️ We have two very excited children and a puppy, ready some snow fun today! Might as well make the most of it, because this is probably all we’re going to get. Oh I do love snow! 😍❄️
“Anxiety is also feeling like you have no contro “Anxiety is also feeling like you have no control over your life and there’s a knot if your stomach. You feel like your world is crashing down around you and you’re expected to sit there and act like you’re fine.”

Yesterday was a right old day - I wasn’t myself. I needed silence to reset... but didn’t get it. So I carried on not sounding like myself, being curt, snappy, sometimes a bit hurtful.

Do you know when you just can’t snap out of it? You take a deep breath and promise you will react differently to a stressful situation, but a minute later you catch yourself spilling over before you even realise the pan was boiling.

I took some time to reflect in the evening and exposed everything that was causing me frustration, stress, anxiety and worry.  Guess what the common denominator was?

A feeling of not being in control.

I’ve always needed some sort of order and control to feel like myself and right now we’re positivity not in control of anything really, are we?

I’m glad I can recognise the triggers for my anxiety and today I made sure I established some form of control first thing in the morning to give my day the best chance to be a good one.

So I cleaned the house, I made sure the puppy had plenty of naps, I scheduled 1-2-1 time with both kids and that made me feel so much better.

I know I only tackled the consequences, not the causes of my anxiety and my need to feel in control, but that was enough for me today.

There’s - always - more work to be done, but accepting the small wins is part of it.

How are you all feeling? Really, how’s your mind How are you all feeling? Really, how’s your mind right now? It’s so important to check in with ourselves instead of ignoring how we feel and burying our heads in housework, jobs, kids and life admin.

💫 What do I need?

That’s a good way to start. I’ll list a few things I need right now. They don’t all have to be grand things, sometimes I only need the smallest things.

1. I need to wash my hair.
2. I need silence.
3. I need to rearrange some rooms in the house (don’t know why I need this, but I really do).
4. I need to zero my inbox.
5. I need uninterrupted sleep.
6. I need a good hearty meal.
7. I need to exercise.
8. I need to smile.
9. I need to see my mum.
10. I need to put my needs first.

If I were to pick just one need right this second, I’d say number 2. I’m normally really sensitive to loud noises, but today... dear me! Even a slightly louder whisper was annoying me! 🙈
I mean... I can barely see him but I’m well jeal I mean... I can barely see him but I’m well jealous of this cosy situation! 😍 Oh Benji boy, you’re bringing us so much joy already! 🐶🤎

Trust the process ✨ I chose this phrase to repre Trust the process ✨ I chose this phrase to represent 2021 for me and it couldn’t be more fitting.

Every time I find myself thinking things won’t work out before even giving it a chance, I repeat to myself “trust the process”. It gives me the strength I need to keep going and just like that... things do work out. Always.

This lockdown has been so much harder than the first one for me. How have you found it?

I thought it was going to be the same or easier than the first time because we’d done it before, but it’s actually been so much more testing.

The only way I’m getting through it is by 💫 trusting the process 💫
