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.

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!
I did receive this for free for my honest review.

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.
