ROKiT Flix is a completely free streaming service without advertisements for all ages

You may know ROKiT as a media company who offers affordable products and innovative services. Did you know they have a FREE streaming service, called ROKiT Flix offering family-friendly, unique shows and films you won’t find anywhere else? It makes sense, a brand that offers fantastic media products, such as the ROKiT Smart Glasses would offer shows as well!

My teen is such a film fanatic. Inspired by his favorite show, he is determined to become a lawyer and wished to use his future law education in the sports or film world. For now, he is in high school devouring different film types with our frequent movie nights.

I have been experimenting with ROKiT Smart Glasses and the ROKiT Flix service for a more unique TV experience. Find animated comics, cartoons – including classics like Betty Boop and Education topics, such as How to Change a Tire or Trivia shows. Once you head to ROKiT Flix, you can download the app via web, Google or Apple.

You do not have to limit your media experience to your paid subscriber, with streaming as an option you can find unique films and shows. Try it out! It’s free! Download ROKiT Flix app and create a themed movie night or introduce the family to a different type of film or some classics.

Back to School and Sports with VistaPrint personalized merchandise

Back to school means back to home lunches, fall sports and clubs. Keeping up on schedules is tough enough, let alone keeping track of the kids gear. They tote around backpacks, lunch boxes, sports gear, PE clothes, notebooks and instruments all day and they are bound to be heavily used and even misplaced. VistaPrint has more than just business needs, they can offer labels for boxes, gear and even coach gifts and apparel to boost school spirit.

My son starts grade 10 and fall golf. I found these personalized golf buddy tees and markers set at VistaPrint and ordered a box so the kids on the golf team can have their school logo on a set. It’s a small way to boost spirit and identify our athletes bag by school in the mix of gear in a tournament.

While at VistaPrint, I added my work logo to some sticky notes because I use these all day long. It is fun to add touches of school spirit in everyday items like these.

Whether you need labels with names or logos on promotional items and stationary, it is so easy to upload images and text and VistaPrint gives you a clear preview to approve before finalizing your order. You can add college logos, sports teams and choose favorite colors to label items and create gifts. Getting organized this fall will make the back to school season more bearable. Head over to VistaPrint and upload what you want on your office and school needs. You can have a lot of fun creating personalized items.
