Joaquin Consuelos

Joaquin Consuelos, Kelly Ripa’s son, had surgery at the Hospital for Special Surgery on his broken finger. CastCoverz! sent a care package for Joaquin to Kelly’s show LIVE! with Kelly and Michael.  He received the CastShield, a waterproof cast cover for bathing/showering, a custom Armz! cast cover in “Wicked Webs”, and a Slingz! arm sling in “The Hand Bone’s Connected to…” just in time for Halloween!

Waterproof product CastShield was a hit!  She loves it so much, she even made a quick video about it!  Personally, we love the clapping in the background! Woo-Hoo!  Check out the video here: http://www.tout.com/m/px04h6?ref=twxz8krw   

“Thanks CastCoverz! for Joaquin’s cast cover!”

Annette Giacomazzi

CastCoverz! owner and founder, Annette Giacomazzi, was honorably chosen and we’re proud to share her story and a few of her breast cancer survivor tips in Survivor Stories:  Annette Giacomazzi

In this spotlight, Good Enough Mother asked Annette:  “If you could send one message to all the Good Enough Mothers out there, what would it be?”  She answered, “Intentionally eliminate everything that is non-essential and increase what is meaningful.”

In support of all those who are fighting the fight and those fighting to find a cure, CastCoverz! will be donating 10% of the net proceeds for the entire month of October to the Susan G.

How to Bling Your Boot, Cast, & Crutches: Part 2 of 3

Part 2:  How to Bling Your Cast!

Did you know pink neon casts are fading away?  So are the green neon, black, and blue casts, due to rising medical expenses.  Many doctors are choosing not to carry colored casting tape anymore, so you really have to be creative to bling that cast!

Decorating your cast can be lots of fun with so many creative options out there.  The timeless standard is having your friends autograph your cast.  But, make sure your artistic friends get the big, bold markers!  🙂 

This mom decorated her cast with black tape, a press-on applique, and a rhinestone bracelet!  Even the cast around her toes is decked out with rhinestones!  Courtesy of Mommy Blogger, Mom2zqb.  For more of her clever designs, please visit:  http://mom2zqb.com/2012/my-blinged-out-casts/

You can deck out your cast with decals and tattoos too!   Have you seen Duck® Brand tape lately?  You can sport soccer balls, flames, flowers, or camo with their designs!  Pick up a roll at your local office supply store.

Those are all great suggestions, but some are permanent and your clothes still get snagged, furniture gets scratched (common complaints of rhinestone applications) and they still get sooo dirty!  And some of us just didn’t get the creative gene.
