Elegant Earrings!

I LOVE jewelry! However I can't just slip on any old jewelry! I like dainty elegant things.

I have to have pure silver or gold in my ears other wise my ears swell and itch like crazy! These earrings are .925 pure silver and they are so lightweight that I couldn't even tell I had them in my ears. :)

They sparkle and shine and make me feel so pretty when they brush my neck when I turn my head. When I wear any jewelry I make sure to never spray perfume or get lotion on them. That can damage my jewelry. If my jewelry isn't shining brightly I will take a soft white cloth and gently buff it till it does shine!

I really think any person would love to get these earrings from Bare Area. The box they are shipped in is so classic you don't need to rebox it to give them as a gift.

I am so pleased that I received these earring for free for my honest review.

Perfect Steamer for 2 People!

This is a nice silicone steamer basket. I have fallen in love with silicone in my kitchen! Nothing sticks to it and it is easy to clean, so when I was offered the Jennis steamer basket I just jumped on the chance!

It is a very pretty green. (I like bright colors, they are easy to find in my cabinets!) It is even heat resistant so I don't have to worry about melting it. I like that it has ridges around the edge of the steamer basket so food doesn't fall off. I don't need to worry about the handles getting to hot too to handle I can either leave them in the center of the steamer or I can wrap the handles of the steamer around the handles of the pot.  The bottom has a raised stand so it doesn't tip over when placed on the counter.

When  you are done using it you can pop it into the dishwasher or you can simply hand wash it. I am very pleased with the durability and convenience of the steamer basket.

Perfect Size!

This little roller is the perfect size to do all sorts of home improvement! The handle is all wood and it fits my small hands easily and I can apply as much pressure as needed to seal the seams.

I ordered this roller for my hubby. I think it will help him bunches when I give him a honey do list! I won't bore you with my list but it does include some wall paper and some peel and stick tile! ;)

When you are doing peel and stick tile you need to prep the area by cleaning it well. Then you peel the backing off of the tile and press it down. The less air bubbles you have the better your tile will stick! You need seam roller to get the best adhesion of the tiles.

I am very glad I received this seam roller for free for my honest review. It really does make jobs a breeze!

Perfect Fairy Lights!

I have been searching for the perfect fairy lights to use on our fire pit/swingset. This is such an amazing set of LED lights. There are 100 LED lights with eight different modes to choose from. It is also Solar so no electricity bill! If you charge it 4 to 8 hours the battery will provide power to the lights for up to 15 hours a night. The cord is nice and long at 39 foot. It give me plenty of cord to rope and loop around the posts.

There are four colors red, green, orange and blue. I really like that they have all the different modes to change up the *blink*  To change the *blink* of the lights, you press a button on the back of the solar panel. It clicks every time you press it so you know you have changed how the lights blink. For the fairy lights to come on at dusk you need to have them set to "On" otherwise they will not come on when it is dusk. Be sure your lights get full power by taking the film off of the solar panel and you get maximum sunshine.

These lights are going to make our families B-B-Q's so much nicer by providing the perfect amount of *twinkle*! I did receive these lights for a discounted rate for my honest review.

Winner! Winner! Easter Dinner!

Simply Charmed has done it again with the CUTEST charms possible! This set contains a Bunny, an Owl, 2 flowers one pink one yellow, a Fox and a Squirrel. They would be adorable for a welcome spring party or even a themed baby shower!

They are very simple to use, just place one magnet on the inside of the glass and the animal or flower on the outside of the glass. They work for stemless glasses which I LOVE to use. I have even put the on red solo cups. They are simple to remove and store also. A quick rinse and dry and they are ready to put up. I keep mine on the cardboard in the plastic case when not in use, so they are ready to go again in a moments notice! The magnets are nice and strong so no one worries about them coming apart. I have used them on many glasses in my home. Any glass from red solos to everyday drinking glasses to plastic ones.

I even catch my teens using them when they have a bunch of friends over. They love all of the cute charms that make it easy for them to tell whose glass is whose. They like them so much they even put them away! Do you know how hard it is to get teens do something without you asking ten million times? ;)

I did receive these charms for discounted price for my honest review.

Kitty Bed Turned Doggy Bed

I have two long haired chihuahua dogs. I also live in a place that is warm one day and chilly the next! When I saw this heated indoor/outdoor kitty bed I just KNEW my fur babies would love it!
I don't have to worry about putting their tee-shirts on when I bring them to work with me either.

The bed looks like a cute little A-frame house and it is a neutral color so it should go with any decor.

This bed has a 40 watt sheepskin style heated mat that is removable for easy cleaning and the best part of it for me is the wiring is covered so I don't have to worry about a chewing puppy! It has two clear doors that just simply velcro on and off.  The velcro is attached to the inside so the door will shut after entering and exciting. We only use one of the doors because we have it sitting up against a wall. I wasn't sure if my two chunky chihuahuas would fit into it but they don't have any problems! ;) I think one of the sleeps on top of the other lol!

It is really nice that when it is warmer weather I can still use this. I can simply unplug and store the cord until it gets colder weather.

It is very simple and easy to set up right out of the box. I am not very sure that it would hold up in a big storm but for just rain I think it would be perfect! Mine will not be outside so I can not say how well it will work outside.

Best Dog Nail Clippers!

I have two long haired chihuahuas. My hubby and I take them to the groomer once every couple of months. Teddy and Cooper's nails grow faster than their hair does! So I end up with scratches on me before it is time to go back to the groomer.

I have tried clipping their nails myself but I always worry about hurting my fur babies by trimming their nails too short. As a fur mommy I don't want to cause my babies any undo pain! But trips to the groomer is getting into my pocket book so I HAD to do something!

I found Koodella Nail Clippers. I absolutely love them! They are very sharp so they clip my dogs nails cleanly and easily. Also they have a guard to keep me from clipping their nails too short. I can take small clips and not worry about getting to close to the quick and causing pain for my dogs. Cutting into the quick causes bleeding and pain for the dogs.  If there are rough edges on your pups nails Koodella even supplies a hidden file in the handle!

I really like that there is a slide button to keep them closed when in storage. They are easy to grip and squeeze even for my small hands. All in all these are the best nail clippers I have found for my dogs.

I did receive these clippers for a discounted rate for my honest review.

Joint Supplement

My husband is only 40 and already has arthritic joints. He walks on concrete everyday and has knee and hip pain every day from that. We both try holistic help before resorting to medications. This USDA approved organic supplement helps with his joint pain and it helps restore his immune system at the same time! I do not suffer from joint pain or inflammation but I needed help getting my immune system back in order.

We both put this in our breakfast smoothies. To me, this did not add any flavor to my smoothie. I haven't tried it in anything else but I would think it would be good in teas or anything else you could think of to add it to. Hubby like that this is a  prepackaged powder so it is simple for him to toss it in to his smoothies for breakfast. Simplicity is a good thing in my house hold!

I am happy to tell you that I haven't even suffered a cold since I have been taking this. Hubby says he has less pain in his joints also! Yippee! I am very glad he can stop taking Ibuprofen. Before Joint Works, that was the only thing that would help my hubby with his hip and knee pain.

I did receive Joint Works for a discounted rate for my honest review.

Unique Sleep Mask

I am very happy with this set! My husband and I have very different sleep needs. I want it pitch dark with just MAYBE fan noise. He likes the TV on for noise and light.

This sleep mask is unique because it is contoured so it doesn't rest on your eyes. The way that it is fitted for you is different also. It has an adjustable strap, that holds the mask comfortably to you. The strap is an elastic band with adjusters. The others that I have used have velcro straps that get caught on my hair and my pillow. I don't have to worry about that with this one.

This set comes with a sleep mask, foam ear plugs and a nice simple pouch for when you are traveling you can toss it all in your suitcase and have it all ready to go.  The mask totally blocks out 99% of the light that comes from the TV that hubs insists on having on.  I had a tiny bit of light coming through where it fits over my nose but not enough to make this light sleeper stay awake. The foam ear plugs are very nice also. I don't use them because I am a mom with teens and you all KNOW I need to listen! ;) To use the ear plugs you smash them down and place them in your ears. They will expand to fit your ears.

This set has made me a happy camper because I sleep better and that means I don't wake up grouchy. So that in turn makes everyone a happy camper in my house! I really couldn't ask for a better made or more comfortable sleep mask set.

I did receive this sleep mask set for free for my honest review.

OUTSTANDING Hair Dryer!

I have been a faithful idealist that all blow dryers are the same. For YEARS I have been going to Wal-Mart and getting their el cheapos. They take forever to dry my super short hair and it frizzes my hair out below my ears. If I don't use product on my frizzes it makes me look like I have duck tails!

Well I have been using this ionic ceramic tourmaline hair dryer for almost a week. I tested it first on my short hair. It worked absolutely PERFECT! I didn't have duck tails! My hair is super shiny and smooth! I liked it so well I blow dried my daughters super long hair.  My daughters hair ended up wonderfully straight, smooth and shiny too. She didn't even have to flat iron her hair after it was blow dried. We liked it so well that I even tried it out on Teddy, my long haired chihuahua! Her hair puffed out so adorably when she was dry!

The blow dryer has a professional hair dryer motor that is 2,100 watts and it is designed to last for over 10,000 hours of use. That's a lot of blow drying! It comes with 2 nozzles that can concentrate the warm or cool air where you want it without sacrificing your previously styled hair. The blow dryer also has a removable air vent for cleaning. I think my favorite thing about this blow dryer is that the cord is super long. It is a whole 9 feet long!

I did find out that sometimes it wasn't getting as hot as it was before so I went back to the instructions. The instructions clearly state that you must turn on the cold first then turn the switch to hot to make it get HOT. If you just turn it straight to hot it won't get hot just warm.

I am so very glad that I got this blow dryer for a deeply discounted rate for my honest opinion.

Best Doggy Leash!

I love new gadgets and when I can I get them. I am also a doggy parent. So its a Win! Win! when I can get a new gadget for my fur baby!

Doggie Brights has thought of every safety feature and convenience in this leash. It is a combination flashlight, doggy poo bag holder, and safety reflectors all wrapped in a sweet little package!

Teddy (that's my fur baby) and I go on walks in the morning. I am trying to loose weight so any activity I can do is a good thing for me. This leash lets me bring Teddy on walks without needing to worry about carrying doggy poo bags with me in my pockets.  It is very nice not to have to worry if I have the baggies with me or not since they are in the leash. ;)

The lead ribbon is a full 13 foot long so Teddy has plenty of running room. I was worried that since Teddy is a chihuahua that the ribbon wouldn't have enough play for her. I am pleased to say that she could walk easily and could go far and wide and the ribbon worked perfectly.

When we go on walks in the evening, sometimes I *loose* her because she is black. She wears a bell but that doesn't help when she is sitting still! The built in flashlight is the perfect remedy for that. The flashlight requires 2 AA batteries but they are included with the purchase. The flashlight makes it easy to find and dispose of doggy bombs. Doggie Brights throws in extra doggie bomb bags too!

The ribbon locking mechanism is taking me a bit to get me used to it. It is difficult for me to lock and unlock the ribbon. Thankfully Teddy doesn't try to run off and needs quick correction.

This is my favorite leash. I will be buying a new one to match this one when I get a new puppy. I didn't find the leash to heavy in any way. I did receive my dog leash for a discounted price for my honest review.

Best ever cleaning tool!

I LOVE cast iron. I cook in it everyday from biscuts and gravy to fried pork chops. Cast iron makes everything taste better!
There are many way and discussions on the most effective way to clean cast iron. I use salt and water to clean all my cast iron but sometimes just that won't work Most of the time I use a dishcloth that I can bleach after each use. I don't like to use a sponge on anything. Sponges harbor bacteria.
Well when you have cast iron sometime when you clean it, you loose some of your seasoning. I speak from hard earned experience. My daughter used my *good* cast iron pancake pan to make chocolate chip pancakes. Not to big of a deal until she tells me she BURNED the chocolate so I had to strip my favorite cast iron pan. :'( If I would have had this Halo scrubbie, I wouldn't have had to strip it. I would of just used salt and the scrubbie to get the burned chocolate off. I just simply used a bit of soapy water and the Halo scrubbie.
Since it is a good size 7" by 7" it is easy to use for any size job. I love that it even has a ring to hang it from a hook if you so desire. I have mine hanging on the wall behind the sink but you can put it back it back in the canister with a bit of soap to have it on hand to clean with.

I did receive this for a discounted price for my review.

Cute little children's dishes!

Okay everyone! I have found the cutest little set of children's dishes! My own kiddos are old enough now I need to start buying stuff for grandbabies ! :)
This set brings back memories of me feeding my son when he was little! I love this set because it is biodegradable, BPA , PVC and phthalates free! I would recommend that you hand wash it since it is so simple to do, but please do not use it in the microwave!
This set has a divided plate, bowl, fork, spoon, and a cup. I have had many plates and bowls go flying off of the highchair. This set is made from bamboo so it is not as easily broken as the old ones that my kids used. Since it is made out of bamboo it will biodegrade eventually.
The art work on this set is amazing too! It is not a sticker so it will not peel up or flake off. I think my favorite is the little deer. It reminds me of my niece, Bambi! There are also kitties and a pony!
The sweet little plate has hand holds on the side so it is easy for little ones to grip. It is also divided, I know I said that before but its very important for portion control and to be able to see quickly what they have eaten. They little ones don't chase the food all over the plate with the divided plate either. I think little ones will have an easy time of learning how to use a fork and spoon, although at first the wee ones like their fingers! ;)
I think this would be a perfect gift for any child or even to be given at a baby shower. The babies are gonna grow up so they will need their own set of dishes ;) This set is even sweetly packaged so you could pop it into a bag and its all ready to be a gift!

Sweet Chrome K-Cup Stand

Even though I don't drink coffee alot, when I drink coffee I want the best experience that I can have! When things are out of order I get a bit cranky (husband says its more than a bit cranky!) I love simple sleek designs that do the job they are supposed to with little or no fuss and muss. The Surpahas 42 Count Coffee Pod Carousel does exactly that! It keeps everything in its place and ready to use.
It holds 42 k-pods. It is a shiny chrome that is pleasing to my eye and won't bend very easily. It has a very smooth operating turntable mechanism that makes it simple to choose your mornings coffee with out any hassle. Also with it spinning it makes it simple to find and keep your coffees fresh. It fits many brands of coffee ranging from the generic k cups to the more expensive coffees.
Since this is a upright stand it can go right next to my Kerig and not take up too much space. Much better looking than a bowl or the jar that I had before!

Cute Fruit Bowl!

I love fresh fruit as a healthy snack! The only thing I don't like about it is if its cold. Then it hurts my teeth. :(  Apples, bananas and oranges are my favorites.
This is a cute heavy coated wire basket with hanger and sturdy non slip feet. It didn't take me very long to take it out of the box and assemble it so its ready for fruit. The basket has an open weave but the weave is small enough that none of the fruit I have tried slipped through. The fruit basket is 4 inches deep and 13 inches across. With the banana hanger it is 15 inches high. Even with my basket piled high with fruit, my bananas didn't touch the other fruits.
The hook is perfectly balanced so you can hang just bananas or grapes with no fruit in the bottom and it will not tip over. Also if you decide that you don't want to use the hanger, it is very easily removed and stores in a drawer.
I really like that is elegant enough to leave on the counter so my family can get healthy snacks through out the day. I did receive this fruit basket for free for my honest review.

Nice Pedometer!

I have been on a weight loss journey for about 9 months now. I have lost 30 pounds now but I needed motivation to keep going! This pedometer can be put ANYWHERE to keep track of your steps. It can be upside down and sideways and it still keeps accurate track of how much I move. I love that it stores 30 days of activity too.
It was very easy to set up but the instruction manual is very detailed and has small writing. I am 41 and have bad eyesight so I wish the manual was in bigger typeface. With that being said, the readout of the pedometer is AWESOME! I don't have to squint to see how well I am moving!
This also has a clock, calendar, sports timer and auto sleep modes. I haven't used those settings. I just use it for counting my steps.

Kitty Bed Turned Pup Bed!

Guys if you are like me, your fur baby is everything to you. I LOVE spoiling my poochie.  I know that this is a kitty bed but it is the perfect size for my long haired chihuahua. I really like that this bed is made out of a rigid felt but I wish that the cushion that came with it was more of a cushion instead of two pieces of fabric just sewn together. HOWEVER since this is a rigid felt I don't need to worry about static cling! That is a good thing because when I shock my pups nose I feel so bad! Cleaning of this bed would be a simple sticky roller to get the stray hairs that all pets leave. The insert that goes inside can be machine washed.
The color is a very neutral dove grey with small black flecks. It even has a nice thick cord that goes around it with a nice upscale tassel. The bed is a good size that would fit even 2 chihuahuas or a very fluffy kitty. It is a total of 20 inches across at the top with the ruffled sides and 16 inches across the bottom and it is 9 inches tall. It is very easy for even my small chihuahua to jump into to snuggle in. I would think that since this is made out of heavy duty felt that it would stand the test of time even with kitties who *knead*.
All in all my puppy is please with her new bed! Her human (me!) did receive this bed for a discounted rate for my honest review.

Why Wait for Best Tasting Wine?

I WASN'T a red wine fan until I tried the No Drip Arerator by Wine Delight. Red wine, to me, was bitter. Not any more. I just didn't know what I was missing!
To give red wine the best flavor you need to decant it and let it *breath* for about 30 minuets. I don't know about you but when I want a glass of wine I want it NOW not 30 minuets for now LOL!
This aerator incorporates air into your glass of wine. In doing this it reduces sediment and the bitter taste in wines. The aerator by Wine Delight is different than most all of the aerators that I have seen. Your wine goes through 3 different tiers to aerate your wine so you can have the best experience. The first tier is a round disk at the top with pointy edges. This causes your wine to fan out and add air. The second tier is a panel with holes, also adding air to your wine. The last part to add air to your glass of wine is a funnel that widens at the bottom as the wine is poured.
I really do like that it comes with a black velvet case and a stand to store it in. It is also dishwasher safe and is made out of acrylic so it doesn't shatter easily.
The stand is also really helpful because it can store the aerator and it catches drips do you don't have puddles on the counter.
I did receive this wine aerator for a deeply discounted price for my honest review.

Beberine supplement

I had to do my research before I started taking a Beberine supplement. I had no clue it was so diverse!
The is a a one month supply of Berberine if you take it as directed. One capsule in the morning and one at night. The pills are also BRIGHT yellow and easy to swallow. These are also made here in the USA in a FDA registered facillity. This all natural Beberine supplement is gluten, corn, salt, soy, yeast, preservative, dairy and shellfish FREE!
Beberine is shown to help support blood sugar and cholesterol that is already in normal range and its helps support healthy weight loss, digestion and immune health.
Like any other person as I get older I have more aches and pains. Beberine supplements are helping me be not so achy. They are a natural anti-inflammatory that also has aintibacterial and helps my immune system be healthier too. Beberine supplements are a good all around for detox and health support.

Wonderful Hyderation belt

I will be very honest here. I think exercise is a bad word. I know I should get out more and exercise but its hard to find the time during the busy day. So I have started taking walks of an evening.
When I got the belt I tried it on I was worried about my arms or hands banging into the bottles and the belt being uncomfortable to wear. I am glad to say that my hands didn't smack the bottles and that the belt is kinda streachy so it is very comfortable to wear.
With this new hydration belt that I have I can stay hydrated with water and have a place to fit my keys and other essentials. It comes with 2-10 ounce water bottles that are BPA free! The bottles are also leak proof that is a must around my household! ;) Also since I walk evenings I like that this belt has reflector tape on the water bottles and the front zipper and the rear buckle to help drivers see me.
The zippered pouch is not huge but it is big enough that you can fit keys or money or even your phone, BUT this comes with a BONUS armband holder! The pouch has 3 different compartments to keep things from banging or scratching other items you have stored. It is very secure because it has the zipper and a velcro flap over the zipper to help it be secure.
I think that this belt would come in handy in any situation where you would want your hands free from holding bottles and needing smaller items with you like keys and your cell phone.
I did receive the hydration belt for a discounted rate for my honest review.

Best Glasses EVER!!

I never knew what I was missing out on in normal glasses. Normal glasses sweat and cause water rings on your furniture, these do not. Normal glasses have a hard edge when you drink out of them, these do not.
Ozeri Glasses are made out of borosilicate glass. Borosilicate glass is more heat resistant and it doesn't shatter as easy.  But you should still be careful when washing these glasses, don't just toss them in the sink. They will shatter if you do that.
I really like the hand holds that are made into the unique shape of the glass and since it is double walled the glass doesn't sweat and get slippery. They also keep your drinks cool longer.
The shape of the lip of the glass is also special! The lip of the glass cradles your lip when you are drinking out of the Ozeri glasses. It makes anything you drink feel like its a special occasion! I use mine EVERY DAY! They make me feel spoiled rotten. ;)

Lovely Sandals!

I have an addiction to shoes! I am always on the look out for cute shoes! My daughter has the same addiction so thankfully we wear the same size! We each have different styles. I prefer straps that go over my big toe instead of between them like flip flops, she likes flip flops.
The sandals by Victoria are very cute. The main strap goes over your big toe and then cris crosses over the top of your foot and leads to the ankle strap and buckle. They are made of soft pleather so it doesn't rub your skin. Even the sole of the shoe is well thought out! It is a rubberized sole that won't slip and slide.
I wore them all day saturday when I went prom dress shopping with my daughter. For you with girls that age you know what that means. It means going 20 million places and walking millions of miles to find the perfect dress! I expected my feet to be achy, tired and sore but NOPE! My feet weren't killing me at all. They felt like I had just been at home all day walking barefoot.

Garden Shears

I have small hands and not everything fits for smaller hands. These garden shears by Till Harvest are so nice! They fully adjust for my small hands and they can swivel so if your a lefty you can still use them! My favorite thing about these shears are that they are fully adjustable to fit my hands so my hands don't tire from having to grip large heavy shears.

Good garden shears are so important to your yard health and yard beauty. These can easily cut flowers or small branches up to 3/4 of an inch in diameter. That means they are perfect for pruning up my small bushes in the yard or cutting roses for floral arrangements.

The shears are about 8 1/2 inches long and the blades on these are super duper sharp made of high carbon titanium coated steel. The turquoise handle is made of a soft rubber grip and the black handle is easily gripped also.

This pair is by far my favorite pair of pruning shears! I did receive them for free for my honest review.

Wonderful Heart Necklace!

Who doesn't like jewelry? I personally LOVE jewelry! Necklaces, rings, earrings I love them all! Sadly I have sensitive skin so I can't wear the cheaper jewelry. :( Normally I can't do gold overlay either because it turns me green when the plating wears off.
With this 18 inch long necklace and locket from Lifetime Jewelry, I don't have to worry about the plating coming off because it is made in the USA from 24 karat gold! It is also covered with a protection coating to prevent tarnishing!
The necklace is 18 inches and is a pretty woven style. The locket that goes with the necklace is my favorite! It has intricate and dainty swirls. It also opens! You can put a tiny picture of your loved ones and put them right next to your heart as you wear the jewelry. The clasp it pretty awesome in itself. I always have problems with the springring clasp that is on most necklaces that you buy. When I try to open them springring clasps I either notch my nail or I can't secure the lock and have to go hunt up a family member to close it for me. This necklace has a lobster clasp with a long easy to hold ring to clasp it too.
This company has got a top notch replacement policy too! If the locket necklace gets damaged or worn they will replace it or fix it for FREE! I love that they have a way to get 100% unconditional free lifetime replacement of everything that they sell!
I am very happy with my new necklace with heart locket. I did receive this for a discounted rate for my honest review.

Yummy Chocolate Covered Raisins!

Chocolate covered raisins bring back good memories for me but I am watching my waistline so I really shouldn't have them. My mom was a diabetic so she wasn't supposed to have chocolate at all, however we would buy chocolate covered raisins when she had a sugar craving. They are simpler to portion out so she wouldn't get a sugar rush.
The Tru Chocolate covered raisins are made with all natural ingredients, no extra sugar added, non-gmo, gluten free, vegan, kosher, dairy free, and nut free! I am not a big dark chocolate fan so I was hesitant to try these but I am glad I did. The bitter chocolate is set off wonderfully by the raisins. After my daughter and I took the first bite, we quickly finished off the WHOLE bag, I know we really shouldn't of had that many but they were so good! Besides with them having no extra sugar added they weren't that bad for us. ;)
The only bad side to this is you only get 3 ounces of the yummy goodness!

Sweetly Smelling!

My favorite flower is a Rose. I love smelling them, seeing them, and getting them *wink wink @ Hubs* The biggest downfall of getting roses is that they don't last very long. This toner gives me the scent of roses any time I want! This is a 4-fl oz bottle with a half push top for dispensing.
Rosewater smells exactly like fresh roses, but the scent when you are using it as a toner doesn't linger long, just about 10 minutes is all you get.
Rosewater has anti-inflammatory properties to help sooth dry skin. It is also very good for acne because it reduces bacteria on your skin, decreases inflammation and at the same time it hydrates and soothes your skin. Rosewater has many uses including but not limited to toner, make up remover, and eye brightener. When you are using it as a make up remover, I like to dampen the cotton pad with rosewater and apply a bit of liquid coconut oil on top of it to make a sweetly scented natural make up remover. Never rub harshly or stretch your skin when removing make up, we all want to keep our skin looking young and beautiful for a long time, right!?
I also tried it out as a linen freshener. It was so nice to gently fall asleep to the smell of roses! I add 3 Tablespoons of rosewater to every 1/2 cup of water and put it in a spray bottle. Before I go to bed I shake the bottle and LIGHTLY spray the sheets with the rosewater mixture.   
I did receive the rosewater for free for my honest review.

Bamboo Baby Gift Set

Oh My Goodness! This bath set has got to be the softest items I have ever felt! I haven’t ever bought bamboo items before because I had heard that sometimes they were scratchy. This set is uber soft. To me it feels like cashmere!

The hooded towel is 30x30 and depending on the size of the little one should fit till they are about a year. It also has 2 washcloths and a bib.
If you have never had a bamboo product here is the breakdown on how to wash it. Bamboo fabric is super absorbent because of that it retains the fabric softener and won't be absorbent any more. BUT its a simple fix! Just rewash with white vinegar! I use a cup of vinegar in place of fabric softener anyway in my laundry. My hubby clothes don't have the *man smell* either when I do that! ;) Bamboo is also naturally anti-bacterial, anti-fungal, mildew resistant and germs don't collect on it! That is very nice for around my household sometimes laundry gets put on the back burner OR I forget to switch it around.
I enjoy that it comes in such a cute little box that would be perfect to give as a gift set in a baby shower or just for some little one that likes a bit of extra pampering!

Copper French Press

Okay I will start off by saying I have NEVER EVER used a French Press. I wasn't even sure how to use it! So I wasn't sure how to use it and even how it looked. Well its a gorgeous copper and glass carafe! Its so beautiful I don't want to put it away so i display it on my counter when its not in use.
The box has all of your instructions to fix yourself a wonderful cup of coffee. I do recommend that you get a coffee grinder before using a french press. This french press does better with a coarse grind. Speaking from experience here LOL! My last cup of coffee on my first batch had a few grounds in it because I used the coffee from my coffee maker. The next batch I did with my flavored teas....WOW! I am so impressed with the flavor of my tea!
When I use my french press I boiled my water to almost boiling point and added half of it to my carafe. With this press I can get 8 cups of tea or coffee. After I added my tea I let it steep for about 5 mins (you can see how dark your coffee or tea is getting so no need to use a timer), add the rest of the hot water then I slowly depress the plunger and then twist the lid to pour.
Also a couple point I think I need to point out. With the nice comfy handle your fingers run no risk of getting too hot! It also comes with 4 screens and a bonus scoop! I LOVE that I can go from hot to cold drinks in this press! I can make a creamy cold coffee or I can make a hot sweet tea. I really like that this company is a USA based company and they also provide lifetime replacement glass carafes for just 10 bucks! I am so glad that I did received my Cafe Crush Club coffee press for a discounted rate for my honest review.

Cute Wine Bottle Toppers

My favorite wine is Cupcake Moscato D’Asti http://www.cupcakevineyards.com/product/wine/moscato-dasti

As much as I love that wine I can not drink a whole bottle at one sitting. If I try to recork the bottle it never works out well. I end up with a mess in the fridge or the wine doesn’t taste like it should.

I was so pleased to see this come up for a review! I didn’t even know they had such a thing! These wine stoppers are very neat! They are made out of food grade silicone, dishwasher safe and fit all SORTS of bottles! When you are selecting your wine toppers be sure you are selecting the ones with the sayings on them or you will get the empty ones!

I wanted to try out the non spill part of these. So I drank a glass of wine (that was the hard part! ;) ) put the wine bottle topper on and gave it a small push to make sure it was on securely, then tipped it over the sink. I am VERY pleased to say that I had NO wine drippage!

When I was done drinking the bottle I just simply put the wine topper in the dishwasher to clean it. No fuss or muss.

I think these would be such a cute wine themed gift basket idea! A bottle of my favorite wine, a couple of glasses, a nice bottle opener with some wine markers, wine bottle toppers and some cheese and crackers would be a great gift!

Yummy Smooth Chocolate Not Bitter!

I LOVE Chocolate! I am constantly dragging my husband into any and all chocolate shops I see. I usually don’t really like dark chocolate because to me it kind of bitter. I am so thankful that this chocolate is not bitter at all! It is all natural, sugar free, non-gmo, vegan, kosher, dairy FREE and nut FREE! Anytime I can get U.S.A. made chocolate that only has 40 calories per piece I will do flips!

There is no way to totally describe how creamy and smooth tasting this chocolate is. I really like that I can grab a piece and not totally crash my diet. Also since it is individually packaged I know EXACTLY what a serving size it. That is really important to me because I have had to relearn portion size. If it is not individually packaged I can eat the WHOLE bag. Calories aside, that is not good for anyone!

I did receive this chocolate for a discounted price for my honest review.

Perfect Family Sticker..Easy to Do!

We have been working on finishing out my living room. I am putting the finishing touches on it and I have been searching for the *perfect* idea to display some of our family photos. I have seen wall stickers in our best friends home but I didn’t think I could do them. I think they are very elegant but look complicated to do! I saw this come up for review and I could *see* the spot and all the little decorations too! I really like the Family Sticker By Bobee.

So I decided to take a chance and learn how to do the wall art. Well like any person I youtubed how to apply Bobee wall art. I found they are very simple to use! Before apply the wall art to your wall use a damp cloth to wipe away dust and let your wall dry. When you get your wall art sticker put in on a flat surface and rub it very well with a credit card. You are getting the sticker to adhere to the transfer surface. After you have done that SLOWLY peel apart the transfer paper and the paper. If it doesn’t come completely off onto the transfer paper don’t panic! That is why we go slow when taking them apart. Just go over it again with the credit card. When you have the wall art fully transfered to the transfer paper place on wall and rub from the center with a credit card to get your wall art to stick to the wall. Make sure your wall art is centered and in the right place before you start to rub it with a credit card again.

It was honestly simple and fun to do! I can’t wait to find my next sticker project! I did receive this sticker for a discounted price for my honest review.

Keeps My Babies in the Back Seat!

My doggies are my babies! Their names are Teddy and Sugar. They love going to work with me every day. They like the car ride even better than going to work with me, however me, not so much. I have one dog that sits quietly and goes on the ride, the other is very excitable. I kinda figured that she would get used to riding in the car over time but I was wrong. She whines and goes from back seat to front seat and back again. Our car ride is about 20 mins to work one way each day. It makes for a rough day when your companion is nervous!
When this pet barrier prevents Teddy from seat hopping. It creates a much calmer car ride for me and for Sugar. I can put both doggies in the back seat to ride together where they can ride together.
StaBak Vehicle Pet Barrier. Keeps Dog Happy In Back Seat. Sudden Stop Protection! See Through Mesh Window. Pocket for Toys. Installs in Minutes. For Most Autos, SUVs and Trucks! Limited Time Sale Offer! was very easy to install in my 2013 Ford Fusion. It has to straps that go around the headrest and the bottom seat support. I like that it does have a small mesh window so I can see them and it has a pocket to keep treats or toys in. When I don’t need to use it it is very simple to store it. You take ahold of opposing sides and twist just like you do for the car shades! It stores very nicely in the back of the seats, ready to be used again next time!
I did have a small issue with a seam not being completely caught but that in NO way keeps the barrier from doing its job! I did receive the pet barrier for a discounted price for my honest review.

12000 MAH Battery Charger

With 4 busy people in my household we are always running our phones to the very last smidgen of battery! This product is awesome because it is made from aircraft grade aluminum so it protects itself from drops or falls! It also charges more than one phone at a time. :) It arrives with a partially charged battery so you can see how quickly it charges your phone but when its is drained of power it takes about 12 hours to recharge itself BUT when it can charge MULTIPLE phones and MULTIPLE times its worth the wait. it does come with an adapter cord that fits 3 different types of charge ports perfect for andriod, iphone 5&6 and iphone 4/ipad. I did receive this product for a discounted rate for my honest review. Here is a link for the charger!

It comes with three charge ports that fit an Android, Iphone 5&6, and Iphone 4/Ipad. Its a very fast charger even when I am using my phone and charging at the same time.

This sleep mask shuts out all the light that comes in from the outside lamps! I am so excited to finally get a restful sleep!

It makes it so easy to plan for a a trip, you just throw them in your bag and tada! I did receive this at a discounted price for my honest review. Here is where you can get the sleep mask!

Most Comfy Ring I have EVER worn

I really thought no ring could be comfortable! Boy was I wrong! I got this in yesterday and immediately put it on. Its like wearing AIR!! I love love it! I have been loosing weight and my diamond bands are loose and I was scared to death that I would loose one of them. I had gotten my hubs one because he can't wear a ring to work due to work hazards. I was so envious of his ring I wanted one for myself! So when this ring came up for a review I jumped at the chance! I did receive this ring for a discounted price for my honest review. Here is where you can get your own Knot Theory Ring!

Quick and easy to use!

Are you looking for something that is quick and easy? This callus remover fits the bill! I love that it is so simple to use. Just flip a button! :) No batteries NO problem! Its rechargeable! I really like that it doesn't bog down when I go to use it on a particularly callused spot! It took me less than 10 minutes on my feet and they are so soft and smooth now! It also comes with an extra roller and a cleaning brush. Its also water resistant! It came in a nice little box with easy to understand directions. I did receive this product at a discounted rate for my honest review. Here is the link so you can get yours!

The BEST Chapstick!

*Raising hand* Hi my name is Holly, and I am a lip balm addict! I have just about tried every brand out there that promises to hydrates and I discard them within a day or two. This product does as it advertises! My lips were always dry and cracked before I started using this balm. My lips are now soft and wonderful! It did not go on sticky or heavy just a nice soft layer of protection, with a peppermint flavor. I really like that it IS all natural so I don't have to worry if I put it on my niece or nephew. This balm also comes in a pack of four so perfect for stashing it all over so you always have it on hand!

Perfect for yarn storage!

HELP! I have been overran with yarn BUT this wonderful cube is the perfect solution! It is just the perfect size to hold about 9 skeins of yarn. It also fits perfectly in my shelves! It is a sturdy pink canvas with a heavy cardboard bottom, and a heavy duty handle on the side. I also love that when I am finished using it (yea right! NO yarn to store, whatever! ;) ) I can just pop out the bottom and fold it away! I did receive this product for a discounted rate for my honest review. Here is the link for your Yarn Storage!

Perfect Portable Cage!

I love this pen! It is so easy to set up straight out of the box. It is already mostly put together for me (HUGE PLUS) all I had to do was clip together the final one.The gate latches fully when you flip it to the topside and move it gently to the right or left and then back down. You only have to do this once and then your latch is fully functional. I really like that it stores flat so I don't have bulky cage in storage all the time. It doesn't even have to be the shape in the picture, which is good because it makes the puppy playpen fully customizable! I put my pups in it when they go outside so I don't have to leash them or worry about them getting away from me. I did receive this for a discounted rate for my honest review. Here is the link to get your own Perfect Portable Cage!

I am gonna be the *cool* Auntie!

Wow! Lights, sounds, and action! This car does require a small screwdriver and 3 AA batteries to make it work. The screw is very tiny so be sure not to loose it. It also has a round cap on the underside that needs to be removed to make it go. It has lots of flashing lights and a loud siren (heehee) boy I am gonna be on my sisters naughty list! I could tell her just a bit of tape over the speakers will help, but then wheres the fun? When you put it on the floor and it runs into an object it just backs up a bit and away it goes again lights and sound both still going! My 17 year old son and my husband had alot of fun with this. Even my puppies got into the action! They chased it all over the house. I can't wait to give this as a gift, I am even giving EXTRA batteries! I did receive this at a discounted rate for my honest review. Here is the link so you can be the *cool* auntie or uncle!

Best boppy out there!

I love that is boppy is made out of memory foam! It will bounce back to the original shape. Not only is it good for breast feeding, its wonderful for teaching a young one to sit up, tummy time or letting a loved one hold your baby. Even if you choose not to breastfeed, this boppy would make an excellent choice for feeding from a bottle. Not only does it give the baby head support, it makes it easier to feed them with a bottle (and you get cuddles!). They are in the correct position for not getting as many air bubbles. The cover has a zipper on the back so it never touches the baby and it has 2 colors to choose from, 1 yellow and 1 blue. I really like that so you can be using one cover and washing the other! I do see using this boppy for a long time! I did receive this at a discounted rate for my honest review. Here is the link for your own Boppy!

Simple to use WONDERFUL to hear!

A simple rechargeable hearing device. A red glowing dot means its charging, a green is fully charged. It takes overnight to charge it. As soon as it was fully charged I picked the correct ear bud for my ear and adjusted the sound. I didn't need it up very loud! The controls are very easy to use and to get to. This comes with a charging station, cleaning kit, instructions and a warranty. I can hear the tv clearer and people don't sound like they are mumbling when they are speaking to me! When I talk I do get a slight echo back in my ear but it's worth dealing with that annoyance to hear clearer. I did receive this product for a discounted rate for my honest review.

I am gonna be the cool Auntie for christmas!

Lights, camera, ACTION! This ToyZe® Bump and Go Action, Excavator Tractor Toy, with Lights and Real Sounds. just needs 3 AA batteries and it it ready to go! It does have a little cap that you need to pop off so it can go otherwise it will be a stationary toy. I love all the lights that engage the child on this, but since there are little parts, please be sure to keep to the 3+ age range. My husband and I had a ball setting things in its path to watch it bump into it and turn around to go another way.It does seem to go better on bare floors instead of carpet. I am giving this as a Christmas gift to my nephew. who LOVES things that move with lights. He is gonna fall in LOVE with this excavator! My sister tho is gonna hate me ;) It is VERY loud LOL! Good thing it's going to HER house! I am not going to tell her there is an on/off switch. I did receive this product for a discounted rate for my honest review.

Perfect compact size Grinder

We have a HUGE grinder at home. It makes no sense to drag it out to do small jobs. When this Kitchen Basics 3-In-1 Meat Grinder and Vegetable Grinder/Mincer, 3 Size Sausage Stuffer, Pasta Maker (White) popped up for review I was thrilled! It is very small and compact. It comes with 2 stainless steel grinding blades, fine and coarse, 3 sausage funnels, 1 pasta disc and a bonus bowl. It is also dishwasher safe! It does have a suction cup base that I adore, however please be sure that you put it on the cabinet facing the right direction so you can use the handle! (speaking from experience!) I ground up ham slices for ham sandwiches. I do believe that if you are doing something like hamburger or chicken you will need to make it smaller portions before you put it in the grinder. I did receive this product for a discounted rate for my honest review.

Sublime texture!

I adore the texture of AWARD WINNING & DERMATOLOGIST RECOMMENDED. Alina Skin Care Vitamin C Serum with Hyaluronic Acid and Green & White Tea Extracts-with patented Inflacin® and Qsomes®-delivers the most effective anti-aging serum on the market today.! To me it feels like a cross between a whipped lotion and a Vitamin E cream. It is not a runny vitamin c serum. The other vitamin c serums have all had a chemical smell to them. This one does not! It has a light citrus scent.
The texture of my skin is also improving! I have less lines and dark circles around my eyes. I know the directions say you can apply your favorite moisturizer after you apply this but my skin feels so hydrated that I haven't felt the need to. For the first few days I did feel a slight tingle when I applied this serum but that quickly disappeared!
It does have very easy to read ingredients and instructions. It is a nice heavy bottle and smooth working pump. I did receive this product for a discounted rate for my honest review.

Neat little lights!

Hoont Pack of 4 - Outdoor Stainless Steel LED Solar Step Light; Illuminates Stairs, Deck, Patio, Etc are the neatest little lights! They came neatly packaged in a small box with the installation hardware (screws). They are very simple to install. My husband did all 4 of them in just a matter of moments. We put theses on our porch to give us light when we are walking up the stairs. Be sure that they get enough sunlight or they will not light up very well. While they are small they do produce enough light to walk by just not to read by. I haven't had them long enough to know if they are weather proof. I will update my review on that at a later date. I did receive this product for a discounted rate for my honest review.

No more lost Binks!

When my kids were little the pacifier clips were just coming out. They were clunky and made of plastic and cotton straps. I tried everything to keep them clean but I KNOW they were germy and looked stained. They also came upclipped pretty easily. I really went through alot of them. When I saw the design of 2 in 1 Pacifier Clip - CPSC Approved Teething Baby Silicone Beads with Unique Shapes - #1 Unisex Binky Holder - Best Clip for Teether Toys, Stuffed Animals, Soothie, Infant Blankets & Drool Bibs I fell in love with it! NO more yucky bink straps! This holder is made completely BPA, Phathalate,Cadmuim and Lead FREE! Just a simple wash with warm water and soap to get it clean, then simply air dry. The clip is strong but it won't damage the Baby's clothing. The beads are 100% silicone and are threaded on a silk cord. Since the beads are silicone you can put it in the freezer to chill them to reduce swelling from teething! You can even write Baby's name on the clip or the star so there are no more mix ups! I did receive this Bink holder for a discounted rate for my honest review.

Rested and Rejuvenated!

I have never been able to just roll over and go to sleep. My mind never wants to shut up! My husband can say he is going to sleep and roll over and IMMEDIATELY falls asleep. I have been envious of that for years! I have tried all sorts of over the counter products but I always wake up *fuzzy headed*. Renew Total Sleep doesn't make me draggy when I wake up. I wake refreshed and ready for the day. I take two capsules 20 to 30 minutes before bed time. With the all natural ingredients I don't have to worry about NEEDING this to go to sleep.

Perfect little clock

This clock has a LARGE screen. It makes it so nice to see the numbers, you don't have to squint to see them. I really like that it has the day, year and current temp, my other alarm clock doesn't have that feature. It did take me a bit to figure out how to set it because I did not read the enclosed instructions. After I had it set I went back and read the instructions, it would of made it so much easier if I had done that in the first place! The batteries were a bit tricky to install but as soon as I got them to click in the cover snapped into place easily. My husbands alarm is loud and blaring and startles me awake. The ascending alarm feature is wonderful! However if you don't get to the clock quickly it sounds off quicker, louder and more incessant! There is even an energy saving feature for the back light! You can turn it off or leave it on for a soft glow.
Altogether its a cute little clock that has some extras. I think it would be appropriate for all ages. I did receive this product at a discounted rate for my honest review. Click here to get your own perfect little clock!

No more False Lashes

Having lush lashes is very important to me since I don't wear any other make up. I was totally skeptical at first. I was very, very wrong! My eyes look amazing! I wasn't too sure what to expect but it wasn't the cute hard case that it was delivered in. It is a simple three step process. It is a bit more time consuming that just mascara. I made sure my eyes were make up free, I put a very thin coat of my mascara on, let it dry, then a coat of the sealing gel, and finally a coat of the natural fibers, just to the tips of my lashes while the coat of sealant was still wet. I reapplied the gel and fibers 3 times to my lashes to get the look I wanted. I only did one eye at a time per the instructions. Since I am not going to use this every day it should last me a while. When I run out I WILL be ordering more! I did receive this at a discounted rate for my honest review. The top photo I only have one eye done to show the difference. Here is the link to No More Falsies!

Adorable Baby Shower Gift

This has got to be the cutest little set! It comes in a cute wicker basket the new mom can reuse. I bought the camo set. It includes a camo onesie, adorable little pants, booties, mittens and a hat, along with powder, lotion, diapers AND a soft pony! I can't wait to give this as a gift! Around our home hunting is passed down from generation to generation. The best attractions, the best places to go to get the BEST deer, turkey or squirrels that's the stories passed from one generation to the next. The next generation is going to be so adorable wearing this set! I did receive this for a discounted rate for my honest review.Here is the link for the Adorable Baby shower gift!

Tailor made for Hostess gifts Wine Charms!

Wine Gift Set - Napa Themed Set of 6 Magnetic Glass Charms & Markers Plus Winged Corkscrew Opener would make a sensational gift! However I can't part with it! It has a heavy duty bottle opener and 6 cute magnetic charms. The charms are a teeny bottle opener, green grapes, a cork, purple grapes, cheese, and a wine bottle. I love that they are magnetic instead of the ring charms. Instead of having to look at the stem to find your glass, you glance at the top of the wine glass!
This comes in a elegant solid box so if you are giving it as a gift it really looks upscale, and protects the brushed nickle bottle opener and the charms. The bottle opener is one of the easiest one I have ever used. I always make my hubs open the wine because I can't operate the opener! Now I can do it all myself ;)
The charms are so delightful and detailed I can't choose a favorite! Even the kids, that all come to the house can now get just one glass instead of dirtying up all my glasses. These are easy to clean up too! Just a rinse and air dry, then they go back on the cardboard they came on to store till next time. These are going to be my go to hostess gifts from now on!
