Vintage style sewing kit that I LOVE!!!!!!!





This vintage style sewing kit by Madezin is absolutely beautiful! It arrived in a timely manner, nicely protected, and easy to open. The stock pictures actually don't do it justice, it is so much prettier in person. Its super compact, it will easily fit in luggage, a purse, or a diaper bag. I LOVE the vintage feel and design it has, it is so chic! The outer kit is padded and has a nice floral design, the inside has a polka dot design and they compliment each other so well. The zipper is well made, it doesn't lag, snag, or get stuck when zipping and unzipping. Once you unzip the kit, the sewing supplies inside are amazing. To be honest, I was surprised there were that many. I have bought larger sewing kits before that had fewer supplies. One side of the kit consist of sixteen spools of high quality thread with an array of colors. The other side of the kit consist of a thimble, needle threader, tape measure, hem picker, three safety pins, stainless steel scissors, three needles in a really neat little needle holder, six buttons, and four red pearl head topped pins. I highly recommended this product, I am beyond pleased with it. I received this product at a discounted price in exchange for my honest, unbiased opinion and review.

IMA Scribbler Gel Pens



 
 
This pack of gel pens comes with 24 different colors. There are 6 beautiful pastel: green, pink, orange, purple, blue, and yellow. There are 6 glitter black, red, blue, yellow, purple, and green. There are 6 bright neon yellow, pink, green, orange, blue and purple, There are also 6 shiny metallic dark pink, purple, blue, maroon, silver, and gold. These gel pens are very high quality and some of the best pens I've ever used! Normally I have trouble writing with gel pens, I'm not sure why but I seem to always have trouble with getting a even, smooth flow to my writing when using gel pens. Using this set by IMA Scribbler was very different than my previous experiences. I love the colors, each color is true to the pen color, each color is bright, easy to read when written with. In my job I'm very color coded in my personal reports and notes throughout my shift so I truly love all the different colors. The pens write in a even, smooth texture. They are easy to use, no need to bear down hard, nice fluidity. I'm a southpaw so one of the worse things when using any kind of pen is the color I'm using is also going to be the color of the outer side of my left hand depending on how quickly the ink dries. The ink from these pens dry quick enough that its not as bad as other gel pens. I love the variety offered by this pack of gel pens. Honestly, you can't go wrong with this product, there are so many wonderful things about it. I received this product at a discounted price in exchange for my honest, unbiased opinion and review.

Omgar Linen Cotton Lunch Tote Set





 I cannot even begin to tell you how much I love linen cotton lunch bags from Omgar! This is a 2 pack set, one is blue and white striped and the other is red and white striped, both have dark brown handles. They are made of thick durable cotton material and the inside is lined with easy to wipe clean insulation type material. The inside also includes a small but deep zippered pocket. The lunch totes appear small but they are actually rather deep and can hold a lot of food/snacks. The handles are thick and easy to hold on to and the are sewn deep into the lunch bag. The bags are made sturdy using high quality materials. The zippers on both bags zip and unzip with ease, the don't appear to be the kind that would snag or break easily. Overall, I gladly give these lunch bags a 5 stars rating! I received this product at a discounted price in exchange for my honest, unbiased opinion and review.

Alaffia Triple Milled Shea Butter Soap


 I absolutely LOVE this soap!!!!!! These soaps by Alaffia are triple milled certified Fair Trade which is a huge plus. Each bar of soap is wrapped in a pretty decorative colored wrapper, the color corresponding to the flavor of the soap. There are 6 total bars: lemongrass citrus, sandalwood ylang ylang, two 2 fresh lavenders, pineapple coconut, and raspberry. Each bar smells so good, the scent isn't over powering. The soap is made with shea butter which is a selling point for me as I have psoriasis and use shea butter on it. I have to be careful about the kind of soap I use, some brands and flavors can really irritate a psoriasis flare up but Alaffia soap is wonderful for sensitive skin. I love soap that has a good lather to it and I was worried that lack of lathering may be the downfall of this soap but I was totally wrong!!!! This soap lathers up so good. It leaves my skin feeling soft and moisturized, it doesn't leave it feeling like there is a film on it. I truly love this soap!!!!! Oh, and it seems to last longer than other bar soaps I've tried in the past. I received this product for free in exchange for my honest, unbiased opinion and review.

Shew Fly Don't Bother Me!



I will definitely have to say I love my new fly swatters from Celebright, they are fantastic! They are a very pretty shade of green. They're lightweight and easy to handle and control. These fly swatters are made of heavy duty, durable plastic. The handle is very strong and a lot easier to handle than what I consider the old fashioned metal handle swatters. The base (the part that comes in contact with the fly) is very flexible and wider than most other fly swatters. My children love to run in and out of the house leaving the door open and letting the flies in. My office area faces a large window and where do the flies like to congregate? Right in front of me at the window!!!! So I've been putting these fly swatters to good use and they are excellent at getting the job done! These also come with a lifetime guarantee!!!

Cara Clark Blue Camouflage Sheet Set



I absolutely LOVE my Clara Clark Blue Ocean Camouflage queen size sheet set!!!!! I only have one queen size sheet set for my bed and it was starting to be a hassle and they were getting rather worn so I was more than happy to try these sheets. These sheets go on really easy and I even have a mattress pad on my mattress and the sheets still went on easily and fit perfectly. They are super soft, I put them on in the middle of the day and couldn't resist trying them out, I so didn't want to get back up. The colors are very vibrant, each blue coordinates and blends in well with the others, the camouflage flows beautifully. They are made very durable. If your a tosser and a turner like me, I'm sure you are well aware of some sheets that you have to continually put back on the mattress throughout the night, that's NOT the case we these. I toss and turn all night and these sheets stayed in place. Before writing my review I wanted to wash them to see how they would hold up in the wash, let me just say after washing and drying them they still looked brand new. The colors stayed vibrant, they didn't fade. The sheets stayed sturdy, no tears or rips. I love this brand and highly recommend it!

Acrylic Paint Set






This acrylic paint set is amazing. My children love to draw and paint so I knew they would love this paint set. The colors are brilliant and beautiful! This set includes 18 colors, some varying shades of different colors and a few single colors. This is the perfect set for either the beginner or the pro. Each paint tube is numbered making it easy to match up later. The caps on the paint tubes are easy to get on and off. The box lid has a mixture and color chart allowing you to mix colors for the perfect shade. The paint goes on smooth and easy. My kids used it on different types of surfaces and the paint went smoothly on each surface. The paint is easy to wash off little hands. My 3 year old had more paint on her than on her project. This paint is very high quality. Once dried the paint remained smooth, vibrant, and true to it's color.

TROND Earbuds



 
 I really love the new Trond Edge Sport Headset. The reality is that with traditional headsets or earbuds, they always break way too soon. Rather from being jerked out of ears from catching on something or shorting out due to wear and tear at the place where they connect to the device, the fact is we have to buy another pair way too soon.

I was a little apprehensive as I have never seen a model like these, nor have I ever used anything that was Bluetooth enabled. After charging, and a little reading in the manual, I was able to set these up with no problem. Another feature of these is that they have voice notifications to let you know when its pairing, turning off, and turning on.

While I have had these a short time, I am looking forward to the fact that I will not have to replace them for a while as they are cordless. This feature alone eliminates most reasons for breakage. The sound in these is really good. Sometimes when you buy other brands, it very often sounds like its in a tube with a very substandard sound. This is by far NOT, the case with the Trond Edge Sport Headset. Additionally, they come with attatchments to provide further comfort in your ear. They also come with a number of earbud covers, which is a a huge plus for me. Sometimes earbuds pop out of my ears or they are accidentally knocked out, therefore, causing me to buy another set of earbuds as I have lost the only original pair that comes with most headsets. I would truly recommend these for anyone who uses earbuds on a regular basis. I received this product at a discounted price for my honest, unbiased opinion and review.

Key Tool





 This multifunctional key tool is amazing, it truly has so many functions. The key tool easily wraps around any standard door key, I didn't have any trouble putting it on my key. The tweezers work great, they actually passed the test of my prim and proper 12 year old daughter who thought the key tool was the coolest thing she's ever seen. There are three different sized screwdrivers, large, medium, and eyeglass. Each works as good as the full sized version and as an eyeglass wearer I especially love the eyeglass screwdriver. The thread cutter works great for loose threads on clothing, shoes, or other types of material. The nail file and finger nail cleaner work great, the file leaves nails feeling smooth and the nail cleaner get dirt and debris easily out from underneath nails. I had no trouble opening bottles using the bottle opener. This key tool is a great tool to have on hand. It is like a jack of all trades.

Majestic Shea Butter



I love shea butter, there are so many different uses for it. For someone who has suffered with psoriasis for 15 years shea butter is an essential part of my daily skin regime. I normally use shea butter in its purest form, in other words as it is but seeing so many wonderful recipes I do plan on trying a few. Majestic shea butter works great for my dry skin, it doesn't cause any irritation. It goes on smooth and its rather creamy. It leaves my skin feeling hydrated, smooth, and moisturized. I love the shelf life of Majestic's Shea Butter. I'm very pleased with this product. I received this product at a discounted price in exchange for my honest, unbiased opinion and review.

PolarGel Cool Pillow Mat

 


 
I love the PolarGel Cool Pillow Mat! I have slept on it for a couple of nights now and it is amazing. I'm a frequent pillow turner attempting to always get the cooler side of the pillow but with this mat I don't have to continually keep turning my pillow. I suffer from tension headaches at times and I had the start of one yesterday. Normally if I lay down with an ice pack at the base of my neck I'll feel better in no time, but I decided to lay on the polargel mat instead and it had me headache free rather quickly. The mat comes with two non slip straps to hold the mat securely on your pillow. The mat covers the pillow nicely so your head isn't laying half on mat and half on pillow. Its made of durable and nontoxic material. I can honestly say that the couple of nights I've used this mat I've slept better and I've woke up with less aches and pains.

VarietyLand Spiral Slicer


 

 



I used my Very Healthy Spiral Slicer for the first time tonight and I LOVE it! I used it to make zucchini noodles. When you take it out of the box its ready to use, no putting it together or attaching parts. There is a cleaning brush that comes with it allowing for a safe and easy clean up. The slicer is dishwasher safe and comes with a small recipe book. I was amazed at how simple and easy this slicer is to use. Each end of the slicer has a different size blade so you can choose to have spaghetti size noodles or wider noodles. Its not hard at all to get the vegetable to cut, the blades are super sharp. There's a cap included to help push the vegetable on through so you don't cut your fingers. This has become one of my new favorite kitchen tools!

Polaroid Zink




















Don't let the small size fool you, this tiny printer packs a big punch!!! I LOVE it!!!! I love new tech stuff and new gadgets so I was beyond excited to get my hands on this printer. I received it rather quickly, packaged well. Wasn't hard to setup and get running. It even had some charge to it straight out of the box, enough to print a couple of pictures before I had to plug it in to charge. I immediately downloaded the required app to my iPhone and it was super easy to connect to Bluetooth and start printing. The app even has some editing tools and my personal favorite, you can even make a collage and print it. The pictures have a nice glossy finish, great color, and if you want to pull the backing off the pictures then they can become stickers. The printer is portable, lightweight, and made of durable material. It's size alows for easy storage when not in use. The technology behind this printer amazes me, printing without an ink cartridge. When I think about that, I think of the money I'll save not having to buy ink! My teen daughter loves this printer too, she has decorated her school folders with picture stickers. This printer is fun and exciting to use!! I received this product in exchange for my honest and unbiased opinion and review. If interested in this product click here.

Mosquito Repellent Bands


My family and I love sitting outside in the late evening hours but a nice, well planned evening doesn't always go as planned. My husband, the party pooper, starts complaining about the mosquitos biting him, my 12 year old starts wanting to go inside at the first sight of any bug, and while my 3 year old doesn't complain while outside once inside she thinks she needs a bandaid for every single bug bite she acquired outside!!!! We don't like to use spray repellant because we all hate that sticky feeling it gives you so when I saw these insect repelling bands I knew they were the way to go!!! We all have different sized wrist and the bands fit each of use securely, if you don't want to wear it on your wrist you have the option to wear it on your ankle. I love that they are DEET free. They last up to 250 hours and after each use leading up to those last hours you can put them back in their individual resealable bag. I was worried that the bands would have an odor but they do not. The test of all test, we went outside the last few nights and not a single complaint and I still have a full box of bandaids!!!! YES, they definitely work!!!!!

Face Painting Brushes



 I love the ARTacts Synthetic Face Painting Brushes, I am very impressed. If you are looking for high quality face painting brushes that are well made and durable then these are they ones you need. There are 12 total brushes, each brush is made to serve a different artistic purpose. The bristles are made of synthetic fibers, they feel soft against your skin and not hard or irritating. The brushes are suitable for acrylic, oil, and watercolor paints so they're very versatile. My daughter and I have used them several times and each time they've been easy to clean and once dried they've held their original shape. We can't wait to use these at Halloween!!!

Laundry Bags


These laundry bags are absolutely wonderful! They come in three different sizes (small, medium, large) for a total of 8. Each size is lager than what I expected it to be which was is a huge plus, even the small is a good sized bag. You can fit a lot in each bag. The bags are made very durable and sturdy. The zippers smoothly zips without catching or snagging and it even has a tab sewn at the end to cover the zipper to ensure that it doesn't unzip during the wash exposing your delicates. I use the bags for my bras, they work wonderful at keeping the clasp from snagging other clothing. I also use them for my three year old daughter's socks. You know how easy it is to loose an adult sock, now imagine socks for a toddler's feet. They are even worse!!!

Apple Slicer and Wedge Cutter

 
When you have a toddler who loves apples but thinks the core is the worst thing in the world then owning an apple slicer becomes essential. This apple slicer is fantastic! Its a little different than the previous ones I've owned and the differences is what makes it a better slicer. The color of it (pink and white) is so pretty together and has a modern feel to it. I love the handles on this slicer. They are very comfortable, nice grip, your hands don't feel like they're going to slide off of the slicer while pushing down through the apple. The previous apple slicers I've owned didn't have the comfort grips and were super uncomfortable when handling them. The blades are sharp and sliced right through the apples with ease. The slicer is durable, high quality, and easy to clean. I received this product at a discounted price in exchange for my honest, unbiased opinion and review.
