Review of Firewood Log Carrier Tote Bag by Grillinator

After having a week of really bad storms, this came in handy! We used it to pile limbs that had fell in our yard and throw them in the woods. One of the first things I noticed about this tote bag, is that it is very well made. The material is thick and sturdy. The treading is sewed in perfectly with no loose strings or threads. To me this is important, because loose threads could lead to holes. This one does stand upright on its own while in use which is a blessing, because I do not have time to keep picking up a bag, trying to clean up the limbs, and watch my children as they run and play. I have also used this bag as a "lake bag". I was able to put the towels, sunblock, and water toys for my kids in it with no problem at all. The handles are padded so they do not dig into your hands while in use. This tote bag is fully enclosed, and is very large. This makes it perfect for more than just firewood. My daughter has used it to put all of her dinosaurs (she has right at a hundred of them!)  in this bag, and it did not mess it up. She can be rough sometimes, but this bag can take a beating! So I guess your main question is would I recommend this? My answer is simple. YES!!! It has many different uses, is durable, and very well made. This would be something I would say is a must have. I received this product for free in exchange for my unbiased review. The thoughts are of my on will.

Review of AGPtEK® 2015 Latest Version Bluetooth 4.0 8GB & 50 Hours Playback Bluetooth 4.0 MP3 Lossless Sound Music Player (Supports up to 64GB), Color Blue

I am actually quite surprised at how well this works! I was able to connect it to my bluetooth shower speaker, bluetooth headphones, and to my car radio via bluetooth all with no problems. The quality of the music was not affect nor did it sound fuzzy or like have static in it. It does have quite a few different features which I found useful. With this you can connect via bluetooth, Watch videos, listen to the radio, read and e-book, use it as an alarm clock, Etc. It does not "die" very easily either. When mine arrived I charged it over night so that it would be fully charged and used it off and on for two days before it needed to be charged again. It is lightweight and pretty compact so it can easily be put into a pocket or purse and not stick out or look bulky. You can use this as a voice recorder as well which I like because I can say my grocery list into it and have it when I go shopping, It is noise canceling so any background noise does not affect the recording. You can also set this so that it goes off by itself after so long. This is a wonder feature because I have a bad habit of falling asleep while listening to music and wake up with my device dead. It does have a built in 8 gig memory which can hold a lot. Right now I have right at 1200 songs on mine and still have lots of room for more. This can also hold up to a 64 gig memory card, which means you will never not have room on it. It does charge rather quickly which is another huge plus for me. For a full charge it takes between 2 and a half to three hours. The buttons can easily be pushed and do not stick. The screen is not very big, but you can read and see everything one it very clearly. I am more than pleased with how well this works and how cool it looks. I would recommend it! I was allowed to test this for my thoughts good or bad, but I have nothing bad to say. This works great and I have had no problems at all with it. I have included the link and also a few photos.

Review of Ideashop® Black Multi-Eye Date Time Month Wood Watch

This watch is very beautiful. The numbers are roman numerals which I personally like. This watch is lightweight and very comfortable to wear. The band does not pull your arm hairs and does not pinch your skin. I first thought the band was made of the rubber material but upon taking it out i realized that it is actually more of a rubber/metal mix material. It does run on a battery, which is not a surprise because all watches do. The dial on the side is easily turned, but is made in the watch very well so you do not have to worry about it falling out. It fits around my husbands wrist pretty well. It does come in a gift box with a nice soft pillow underneath it. This might not matter to you, but I thought it was a nice touch of detail. I would recommend this as the watch is beautiful and works very well. I was allowed to test this for my thoughts good or bad, but I have nothing bad to say. This watch is worth the money!! I have included the link so that you can see this for yourself.

Review of Ideashop® Diagnostic Tools ELM327 Bluetooth OBDII OBD2 ELM 327 Auto Vehicle Car Scan Tool

We used this one my ford 500 and it worked very well. It was easy to plug in. The port was right underneath the steering wheel. To make it work, you do have to download an app to your phone. To find one go to your app store and type in OBD2. There are many different apps that will pop up, some free and some you have to pay for. Next plug this into the port while your car is turned off. Once plugged in turn on your car. Open the device on your phone (make sure your phone's bluetooth is connected to the diagnostic tool) and it should start to read. The only thing that I did not like about this is that everything is in codes. I nor my husband are experienced mechanics so we had no idea what they meant and ended up having to google them. It does come with a set up cd as well, but it is a very small disc and may not work with all computers. I have an hp and it worked just fine in mine. This is in to have as it will save you money in the long run, but if you do not know what the codes mean, you will have to google them, I was allowed to test this for my thoughts good or bad. I did include a link if you would like to see it for yourself.

Review of Tom America INC Silver Color Portable MP4 Player MP3 Player Video Player with Photo Viewer , E-Book Reader , Voice Recorder + 16 GB Micro SD Card

This is very lightweight and does have many different features. You can listen to music, look at photos, read e-books, and record. This is pretty compact so it fits into a pocket or purse very easily and is not bulky. It does come in a hard plastic case which I saved to store it and keep it safe. It comes with a 16 gig memory card so there is plenty of room to store anything you like. It does work very well and is quite durable as I have butter fingers and have dropped it twice without it breaking or chipping, It comes with a set of headphones as well which comes in handy. The buttons are easily pushed and do not stick. The screen is small, but you can read and see everything just fine on it. It is great for adults as well as kids. This is a must have. It works great and considering everything that comes with it, is rather cheap. I was allowed to test this for my thoughts good or bad. I have included a link as well as a photo.

Review of Sentey® Universal Earbuds Carrying Case Ls-7521 (Black)

I got this because i recently ordered a pair of sentey headphone that did not come with a case. The headphones fit perfectly into this case with out having to force them. The case is itself is very well made and durable. I have dropped it quite a few times and they case did not break nor did my headphones. The zipper is sewed on very well so you do not have to worry about to coming off while trying to zip or un zip it. The case is made of a hard plastic with a soft and smooth finish. The inside does have a little net pocket which you can store your extra ear bud tips. This case works very well and is quite nice. I was allowed to test this for my thoughts good or bad.

Review Apple Watch Case, PLESON® 38mm [Ultra-Thin] Flexible Premium Soft TPU Transparent Full Body Apple Watch Case Slim

I got this for my friend who recently got an apple watch. This fit her watch perfectly. It was a snug fit, but that's a good thing. When she put it on her watch, I took a look at it. All the button were able to be pushed and everything lined up perfectly. It is rather slim fitting and not very bulky, but this is also not a bad thing. It does give both the front and back of her watch protection. With how expensive the watches are and how cheap this is.. this is a must have if you do have the apple watch. I was allowed to test this for my thoughts good or bad.

Review of Chalk Markers - HUGE MEGA 18 Color Pack

The colors in this pack are very bright and pretty. To get these to work, Shake the marker, then press the tip down until the chalk starts to come out. That simple. You can write on cups, mirrors, car windows, house windows, chalkboards, the fridge, Etc. Anything that is non-porous you can use these on. To clean the marker off, simply wipe it away with a dry towel. They are very easy to clean off of skin as well. (Yes my daughter drew on herself) with warm water and soap. I have not seen a pack quite this big or with so many different colors. They have many different uses and work very well. I like these and my daughter loves them! I was allowed to test these for my thoughts good or bad. I have included the link as well as a few photos.

Review of Sentey® In-ear Headphones Amplitude X90 (Black/Red)

These are very loud when your volume is turned up. To me this is not a bad thing. They do fit comfortably in my ears and do not cause them to hurt after wearing them for a long time. The sound quality is amazing and does not come out fuzzy or staticy. The wire is flat which I personally like. It keeps them from becoming tangled and also helps to keep them from breaking. They do have in-line calling which means you can answer a phone call while using these and talk via the in line mic. The person that called can hear you perfectly and the sound is clear. These are great for working out or while on the go. I really like how well they are made and the design. The only bad thing was that when they arrived my box was ripped and missing piece of the box at one end, was open, and the headphones themselves has slid halfway out. I was allowed to test these for my thoughts good or bad. I have included the link so that you can check these out for yourself.

Review of OliaDesign® 4-piece Stackable Porcelain Coffee Cup Tea Cup Set with Metal Stand (4-Color)

These are a space saver! The colors are very bright and beautiful. The cups are made of porcelain and the holder is made of metal. It is very easy to put the cups in and get them out, however the bottom cup will be a tight fit. The mugs are a bit small, but they are the perfect size for a cup of coffee or an espresso. They are very easy to clean with warm water and soap. They all have a nice smooth finish with no extra porcelain hanging off or jagged edges. The handles are very well attached so you do not have to worry about them falling off. The packaging was great as well. They come in a cute cardboard box which has pictures of the cups on it and each cup is wrapped in bubble wrap. This is not very big so it ca be placed anywhere in your kitchen and not take up much room and can be stored very easily. I think these are very cute and add a nice touch of color to any kitchen. I was allowed to test these for my thoughts good or bad. I have included the link as well as a few photos.

Review of Clamp-On Blue Beach Umbrella

Okay so I will admit, when I was asked to review this for my honest thoughts good or bad, I expected a a cloth cheap umbrella. Well boy was I wrong. This umbrella is very well made and extremely durable. One thing I did notice was that it has white plastic caps on the ends on the metal rods, which some people don't understand, but I have two small kids would could get seriously hurt if they were to run into an end. To me this was a nice detail that a lot of makers do not include. The umbrella is bigger than I though it would be which is not a bad thing at all. I have used it to clamp on to the back of my lounge chair while we were at the lake, as well as a regular umbrella. It clamped onto the chair with no problems at all. It was very easy to attach as well as take off. The clamp does open pretty wide so it can fit many different surfaces and can be screwed on two different way which allows you to clamp in on round or flat areas. It does come with a carrying bag, which I thought was a nice addition, and it can be carry like a purse or wore like a backpack. The umbrella itself is made out of a soft plastic material with metal rods and a metal handle with a plastic c-clamp attached at the bottom. While using this at the lake, it did help to block the sun, which was a big deal to me as my son has eczema  and getting too hot or too cold cause it to flair up very bad. I was able to hold him with me while sitting under this and it allowed him to cool off. Now for me to explain why I used it as a regular umbrella. We went to town and I still had this in my car. On our way home, we got hit hard with a really bad storm. It was pouring rain and the wind was blowing very badly. I have two small children, and no way to get them out without all of us getting soaked. So i used this to keep us dry. It worked perfectly. I was concerned that the wind would break this, but It did not. With how well this is made and how great it works I would recommend this. I was allowed to test this for my thoughts good or bad, but I have nothing bad to say. I have included the link as well as a few photos.

Review of Timmari Kids 2 Piece Children ABS Hard Luggage Travel Trolley Case and Backpack (penguin)

I want to start off by saying this has to be the cutest luggage set I have ever seen. When it arrives, it comes in a regular cardboard box, with the backpack inside the rolling luggage bag. The outside (penguin) is hard plastic, but the rest is made from a soft fabric material. The rolling luggage has many different pockets which my daughter loves. She calls them her hidey holes. The handle pulls up very easily once you push the button on top of it and locks in place. It can be adjusted to the height you need by simply pulling up the handle to the height you would like and locking it in place. Both the luggage and the backpack are very durable as my little girl can be quite"rough" on her things. This has not cracked nor has it broke which amazed me but I am thankful for. The shoulder straps can be adjusted and fit perfectly on my three year old. She uses the backpack to carry her dinosaurs around (yes she is obessed with them) or to take her over night clothes when she goes to stay with my grandmother. I will be using the backpack for preschool next year as well. The zippers are very well sewed on so you do not have to worry about them falling off and also have loops made into the so that a lock can be placed through them. The wheels are very sturdy and well attached and seem to be very durable as well. When these arrived I let her open it (I helped) and her face lit up when she seen them. With how well these are made, how durable they are, and how happy they make her, I would highly recommend them! I was allowed to test these for my thoughts good or bad, but I do not have one bad thing to say. The are beautiful and perfect for kids. I have included the link as well a few photos.

Review of Guiffee EL436 2 in 1 Nose Ear Facial Hair Grooming Trimmer Shaver Body Groomer (Blue)

I got this for my husband. He refuses to admit he is getting older, but the hairs don't lie. He has used this to take care of those awful nose hairs and to trim his ear hairs. It worked great for both of them. It does have a rotary head which he said makes it easier to trim the hairs. Both the ears and nose are sensitive areas so you do not want to use something that will cause irritation and this works great for that. It is very sharp and will cut whatever you are trying to trim. It does not snatch or grab the hairs nor does it pull them out. One thing my husband really liked was the fact that it is rechargeable. We can never keep batteries in this house (we have two small kids with lots of toys) and there have been times he could not use his old trimmer when he needed it or would be halfway through trimming and the batteries go dead and we not have any more. The top does tilt and locks so you can use this anywhere you needed and can reach every angle. The heads are also every easy to take out and put back on. It does come with the charger and a little cleaning brush. This works very well and my husband is very happy about it. For those reasons, I would recommend this. I was allowed to test this for my thoughts good or bad, but my husband loves it so I have nothing bad to say. I have included the link to this as well as a few photos.

Review of Valdler Elegant Women Lady Girls Feather Net and Veil Fascinator Hair Clip Hat Hair Accessories Clip

This hat clip is very beautiful. I wanted me for me, but as soon as my daughter saw it, she took it. She is a little diva. It arrived in a zip lock plastic bag, which I kept to store it and protect it. It is very beautiful and reminds me of the old western shows that I use to watch with my grandparents when I was younger. It has two push hair clips attached to the bottom of the hat which secures it and helps it to stay in place. The clips to not get tangled in your hair nor do they pull out your hair. It is made of a net material which is breathable and does not make your head sweat. I personally like this because my head itches when it sweats. It does have feathers on it which I think are very beautiful. This is perfect for playing dress up, going to fancy events, or even to where to a funeral. With how well this is made and how beautiful it is, I would recommend it. I was allowed to test this at a discount for my thoughts good or bad. I have included the link for the hat as well as photos.

Review of BODY LOTION with Dead Sea Minerals by LeliaSea

I want to start off by saying with this lotion, a little goes along way. I love how soft and smooth this makes my skin feel. It does absorb very quickly and does not make your skin feel oily or greasy. It does have a very nice, clean, scent which does linger after the lotion has absorbed. It is great to use on any part of your body (I would suggest not using around delicate areas). It is made with  natural minerals and well as UV filters, so it not only makes your skin looks amazing, it also helps to protect it. I do use this once a day either before bed or first thing in the morning. I have the hand cream as well which was a home run, just like this lotion. If you want high quality products, Dead Sea Minerals in a must have! They are very affordable and simply amazing! I was allowed to test this for my thoughts good or bad, but I have nothing bad to say about this lotion. I love it and it works amazingly. I have included the link if you would like to see this for yourself. 

Review of OliaDesign® Faucet Mount Hose Holder Durable & Rust-free for Expandable Hose, Garden Hose, Hose Reel

We actually hung the from a hook that we put in a tree. We have an expandable hose and this works great with it. The holder itself is very lightweight and made from a hard plastic material. It does have a handle made into the top of it which makes it very easy to carry. The handle has grooves made into it which goes with the shape of your fingers which I love. The handle does not hurt your hand while using and fits comfortably. You can also hang this from your spicket, but ours is right on the ground and we did not want the hose to sit on the ground. The holder itself is very well made and does not have any loose plastic or rough edges that can cause an injury. It is very sturdy and seems very durable. It does help to keep your hose from getting tangled and does not take up any room. It would be great for your garage or storage building. I also want to add that the picture is not to scale. This is actually a bit bigger than in the photo, which was not a problem for me at all. I was allowed to test this for my thoughts good or bad. But I have nothing bad to say. It works great and comes in handy!

Review of King Will Unisex 8mm Black Tungsten Carbide Ring Wedding Band Polished Finish Beveled Edge Comfort Fit

This ring is beautiful. It fits perfectly so the size is true to fit. My husband works with his hands all day at his job, so his wedding ring had gotten bent and scratched. That is why I wanted one of these. They scratch resistant and do not bend!! It arrived very quickly and was packaged very well. It came inside of a regular white cardboard box, but was inside a ring box with a nice message card on top. The ring looks very expensive but is affordable. It has a nice black finish and since the ring is fade resistant, it will always look this pretty or handsome i guess I should say. It is lightweight, but very well made and durable. I am amazed at how nice looking it is and how much thought was put into shipping it, and he likes the color and how well it fits. This is a highly recommended ring!! I was allowed to test this for my thoughts good or bad.

Review of Icetek Sports Multi-purpose Credit Card Size Pocket Tool

This is a credit card sized Mult-tool. The name pretty much tells you that. But it is packed full of many useful tools. For it to be so small, it comes in handy! I gave this to my husband and it fits perfectly inside his wallet. All the tools do stay securely in place which is great because he tends to loose things. He has used it while fixing a few different things as well as took it fishing with him. The tools are very well made and seem to be quite durable. He said this was one of the nicer pocket tools he has ever used! This includes:
Ruler (3 inches)
Ballpoint pen
Letter opener
Toothpick
Knife
Magnifying glass
Scissors
Thick flat-head screwdriver
Thick phillips-head screwdriver
Light
Thin phillips-head screwdriver
Thin flat-head screwdriver
It has every tool you would ever really need for camping or fishing.
I really like how many different tools you get with this pocket pool and my husband likes that he can carry it with him everywhere! I was allowed to test this for my thoughts good or bad.

Review of American Greetings Mickey Mouse Clubhouse plastic drinking cup

I bought this for my little girl who is in love with mickey. The colors are very bright and after a few washes did not chip off or peel. The top of the cup is very smooth with not jagged edges or hanging plastic which was perfect as I do not want her to cut her mouth while drinking from it. It does have a lot of details which you can see from the pictures. It does not have the normal "plastic" smell which was also another thing that I liked. It is a very nice cup and she loves it!

Review of Idmix 3.5mm Stereo Auxiliary Audio Cable

I wanted to use this so that I could plug my phone into my car radio to listen to songs that I had on my phone as well as play pandora. This one works perfectly. It plugs in to my phone with no problems as well as into the radio with no problems. I do like the fact that one side is made at a right angle. I plug the straight side into my radio and the right angled side into my phone. This allowed the plug and cord to run along the top on my phone instead of just sticking out. I have broken many of these cords from trying to pull them out of my phone or the cord bending and breaking. The sound quality is great an not affected by the cord which is another plus. This is very well made and quite durable. I was allowed to test this for my thoughts good or bad.

Review of Best Sunshades For Side Windows For Babies And Kids

Where I live this summer has been no joke. It has gotten hotter, quicker than it did last summer.Now trying to take the kids anywhere is a fighting battle. They don't want to get in the car because its too hot or the sun will be in my face. That why i decided to get these. My hope was that after putting these up, they would love the scene on them, and the sun shade would not only block out the sun, but also make it a little cooler for them when we first get in the car. (I turn the air on once we are going) I put these up after my children went to be so they would be surprised when they woke up. My daughter as usual started fighting me not wanting to get in until I said that she had something waiting. When she got out to the car and seen the Sunshades she had the biggest smile and started laughing. She loves them and so does my son. What I like is the fact that these are very well made and do exactly what they are suppose to. The block the sun from not only getting in my children's face, but they do help the back seat not be as hot when you first get in.All in all my kids are happy and i love the way these are not only designed, but how well they work. These are a highly recommended product! I was allowed to test these for my thoughts good or bad. I have included the link so that you can check these out for yourself.

Review of Kites for Kids - Best Large Delta Kite with Tail

This kite is very well made and quite durable. It has been a few years since I have flown a kite so I was a little rusty and it did hit the ground a few times before I got it to fly. This was completely my fault like I said I was a bit rusty. Once I got it up, I handed it to my daughter to fly. The smile on her face made it all worth it. This kite is made of high quality material and is sewed together quite well. It is pretty big, and the colors are very bright and bold. I personally like the tail. I think it adds to the design, and my daughter said it made it look like a bird flying. (Yes she was thrilled about getting to fly a "bird") It does come with a carrying/ storage bag and can be easily taken out and put into the bag. My husband also flew this kite with my daughter and son, and he had no problems getting it into the air. I think that this is a beautiful kite and from the looks on my children's faces a must buy. I would highly recommend this to everyone. It is fun for both kids and adults. I was allowed to test this for my thoughts good or bad, but honestly I have nothing but good things to say about this beautiful kite. I have included the link for you to check this out for yourself.

Review of Stainless Steel BBQ Grill Brush

We have had a few BBQ brushes, all of which pretty much worked the same. That is not the case with this one. It is pretty wide, which makes it a lot easier to use and faster to clean your grill. We have always cleaned the grill while it was still hot as it makes it easier to clean. We tried that with using this brush. I will say that if you do it this way make sure you have gloves on as the handle will get hot pretty fast and it will burn your hand. This brush is made out of stainless steel which I like because it will not rust. This brush is very well made, durable, and quite sturdy. This does fit in between the grates so you can clean the hard to reach places with ease. You do have to press down a little, but it is not hard to use this brush. It will leave your grill looking brand new. My husband and I were both quite surprised with how well it works. I was allowed to test this for my thoughts good or bad. I have included a link so that you can check this out for yourself.

Review of The Gentlemen's Beard - Beard Oil

My husband loves beard oil. He says it helps him when his beard starts to itch. What I like about this one is the fact that it is organic which means when he uses it, he is not putting all kinds of harsh chemicals onto his face. I also like the packaging and bottle. The box looks just like the photo and so does the bottle, but to me this looks manly. My husband has been using this daily after he gets out of the shower. After a few days of using it, he said he could tell a difference in his facial hair. He said that is is more easy to maintain, softer, and does not itch like it use to. I will say that when it says just 2-4 drops do not use more than that. My husband said there is no way that small amount can work so he used more. In this case he found out the hard way that a little does go along way. All you have to do to use it is put the drops in your hand, rub your hands together, and then smooth this through your beard. Very simple to use. He is happy with the results he has seen while using this and I am happy that I no longer get stabbed when I try to kiss him. I was allowed to test this for my thoughts good or bad. I have included a link so that you can check it out for yourself.

Review of Easy Press Clippers.

These are made from stainless steel which is always a great thing. It means they will not rust and are sturdy. They do come with a lifetime guarantee so if they do happen to break, you can have them replaced. What I noticed about these is how easy it was to use them. Simply place them around the nail that you are wanting to cut and then push the clippers down. A lot of the ones I have used were quite hard to push but that is not the case with these. They push very easily and would be great for people who have hand injuries or arthritis. They are very sharp and do leave a clean cut. They do not leave sharp edges or painful hang nails. As I stated they are very sharp so I would suggest put them up where little hands can not reach as it could cause an injury. These do work with both finger and toe nails. The design of them is pretty neat. Most nail clippers are just solid metal, but thee have four little diamond shapes cut into the front. This does not affect the way they work, it was just an added detail that I liked. These work very well and I am happy with how easy it is to use them. I was allowed to test these for my thoughts good or bad. I have included a link so that you can check these out for yourself.

Review of Barmix Cocktail Shaker - 24 oz Stainless Steel

We have friends over for supper and game night once a week. We do sometimes like to have a drink with our food. This one looks very stylish and fits perfectly for any kind of get together you are having. It is made of stainless steel which I love because it will not rust. It does seem to be durable as I have dropped it and it did not dent or break. This is fairly easy to clean. It does come with a jigger which honestly I had no clue what it was for, but I have done research on it and found out. I personally think that drinks made in a shaker taste better as they are colder and mixed better. This does include a e book which contains reciepes for cocktail. I liked this because I learned how to make a few that I had never heard of before. This would make a great gift. It looks expensive, but is very affordable. I like this and how well it works. The drinks taste great and it is very well made. I was allowed to test this for my thoughts good or bad, but i have nothing bad to say.

Review of Ultra Bright 2-in-1 LED Work Light Flashlight

I ordered this for my husband to use as he can never keep up with a flashlight. This light has a very nice design and is very well made. It seems durable as my husband has dropped it a few times and it has no damage and still works just a good as it did the first day. It does fit perfectly in my husbands hand. The way it is designed makes it very easy to keep a good grip on it which is great because if you are like us, you drop everything you have in your hands. It is pretty compact which my husband liked because he can slip it into his pocket and it not be bulky. It does have a hook  which makes it very easy to use as you can hang it anywhere from pretty much anything and still be able to see. The hook folds back into the light while you are not using it which keeps it safe from being broken. If you are working on something that has metal, you can use the magnet feature. My husband loved this because he can stick it on the car while working on it and it will stay right where he needs it. It does have two lights. One is one top and works more like a regular flashlight, and the other is on the front which works like a work light. Both of super bright so it makes it easier to see what you are working on, or to see while walking. This is also great for camping and fishing. It takes 3 AAA batteries in order to work. My husband is very pleased with how well this works and I am pleased with the design and how durable it is. I would recommend this. I was allowed to test this for my thoughts good or bad, but I have no complaints. I have included the link so that you can check this light out for yourself.

Review of 48 Blade Meat Tenderizer

I have never used a tenderizer like this one. I have one of the old time tenderizers that look like a hammer. I did not like using it because it would always make my hand hurt after using it and never really seemed to do anything to the meat. This works wonders as a tenderizer. It is very easy to use as all you really have to do it place on top of the meat and press down as many times as you want to get it as tender as you would like. You will have to remove the blade cover first. The blades cut into it helping it to become tender. It is very easy to clean with warm water and soap or by a dishwasher. I have also read that you can put your marinade on before using this and it will help to push it into your meat. I have not tried this yet, but I am going to as that would come in handy. I have used this on steaks and pork chops and it worked great with both. I could tell a difference in the way the meat tasted as well as how tender it was. This actually amazed me as honestly I did not think it would work that well. I am more than happy with the way to works and how well it does tenderize the meat. I was allowed to test this for my thoughts good or bad, but I do not have any complaints. I have included the link if you would like to take a look at it.

Review of Greenwald's All Purpose Citrus Cleaner 6-Pack

A cleaner that I can use on anything is always a great thing in my house. I have two small children. so i have sticky hand prints and food and drink spills everywhere. These come in the plastic container that you can see in the photo which keeps them safe and makes it easier to store. To use these, simply drop one packet inside a 32 ounce spray bottle then fill with warm or cool water. Wait one to three minutes and then shake the bottle. The packet will dissolve releasing the cleaner into the water. I have used this on my stove, fridge, counter tops, tables, etc. All of which no damage was done while using this, but they did come very clean. It cleans dirt, grim, oil spills, and sticky hand prints! It does have a very nice citrus smell which I personally like. The smell is not over powering or "loud" its rather light and nice. I am very happy with this cleaner and how well it works. I would recommend it. I was allowed to test this for my thoughts good or bad. I have included the link so that you can check this out for yourself if you are interested.

Review of Lemon Essential Oil • 4 Oz • La Lune Naturals

I recently got into essential oils after researching all the different things that they can be used for. That's why I was excited to test this one out for my thoughts good or bad. I have used this to clean out my bath tub and as an air freshener. While cleaning my tub with it, I put a few drops in the tub and a few drops on my scrub brush then scrub away the soap scum and dirt. With using as an air freshener, I bought an oil diffuser at the dollar  tree and I just add a few drops to it. This has a very nice, clean, light lemon scent that will feel the whole room. It does come in a pretty big jar and has a dropper top included. It also comes with and ebook that has 20 reciepes in it to use the lemon oil with. I have not tried these yet, but I will soon. I am very happy with this and how well it smells. I would recommend this. I was allowed to test this for my thoughts good or bad. I have included the link for you to check this out yourself.

Review of Professional Grade, Eco-friendly, Non-stick Silicone Baking mat

This definitely comes in handy while making anything homemade. I like to make homemade biscuits, pies, and cookies all of which stick to anything you try to use with them. When it arrives it is rolled up inside a box. Just so you know when you try to remove it from this box it is rolled so tightly that you will destroy the box. Once opened, It does go back flat so the way it ships does not cause damage. It is made of food grade silicone, which means no harsh chemicals involved in making it. It is very easy to clean, just use warm water and soap or you can use a dishwasher. While preparing my cookies, I noticed that it was extremely easy to roll out the dough as well as to make the cookie shapes and none of the dough stuck. This amazed me as I honestly did not think it would work that well. It does fit perfectly inside my pan which was a huge plus. I was a little worried about using it to cook because I thought it would melt. It did not. My cookies came out beautifully golden brown on the bottoms not black like it did while just using a pan, and the cookies slid right off. I made biscuits the same was and had the same results. With what I have saw and how well this works I would recommend it. I was allowed to test this for my thoughts good or bad, but I have not complaints at all. I have included the link so that you can see this for yourself.

Review and giveaway of Natural Shoe Odor Eliminator

When my husband comes home from work and takes off his boots, You know he did, even if he is in the other room. Yes I mean his boots stink that bad. My running shoes and my daughters shoes are the same way. That is why I was excited about getting to try this for my thoughts. It comes in a small spray bottle which is very easy to use. It does not take much to help with the smell of nasty shoes. I normally spray two sprays into both shoes and within five minutes the smell is gone. The smell is called lemon mint. It smells like a lemon cough drop. It is not overpowering though rather a light smell. I have noticed that I do not have to spray the shoes everyday as the scent tends to last a few days, which is always a good thing. Even though the bottles are travel size bottles, they will last a while. This product works very well and I am very happy with it. I have included a link so that you can see these for yourself.

Review of crock pot slower cooker

I  have never owned a crock pot before, but a lot of my friends had one and would always tell me about the foods they cook in them. I got a little curious and wanted to see what all the hype was about. So i bought this one. There are many different things that I like about it. It is a pretty big crock pot (makes enough for 7 or more people). This really caught my eye because I can use it to make bigger meals when we have friends or family over. The locking lid was another selling point for me. I have two small children and they get into everything. The last thing I would want to happen is for them to accidently pull this off and everything pour out on them. The locks are very secure and hold the lid down tightly so that nothing comes out until the locks are opened. It has a cook time and temperature setting that allows you to "set it and forget it". The cooking temperature can be set to low or high. Once the food is finished cooking the cooker will turn itself on warm mode. The cooking time ranges from 30 minutes to 20 hours which I personally thought was amazing since I have never heard of one that will cooking for that long. The buttons are touch buttons instead of knobs which was another feature I really liked. This is a very nice crock pot with a lot of extra features. It is stylish and would look great in any kitchen. It is very easy to use and works great. This is something that I would say is a must have. This was a purchase of my own. I just wanted everyone to know how great this is. I have included the link if you would like to look at it.

Review of Lego Inspired Silicone Minifigure Ice Cube Mold and Lego Inspired Silicone Minifigure Candy Mold (2 Pack)

These are very cute. They are a bit smaller than I thought they would be, (they are about half the size of a regular ice tray) but that did not really matter. These are actually the exact size of a lego man which I thought was adorable. My daughter could not wait to have her "ice men" in her drink so we had to use them right away. I thought since it was a two pack why not use one for ice and one for jello, so that is what I did. It worked great for both of these. The ice and jello came right out with no problems at all. I really wanted to see what all I could do with these so I took one to my grandmother's house. She makes homemade fudge and I thought it would be cute if she could use one to make lego men shaped fudge. I was a bit skeptical as to whether or not these would work as the fudge is hot when poured, but it did. After it had cooled, she had no problems popping the little men out of the mold. Both of my children were excited. I am very happy with how well this works and would recommend it. Kids will love this!! I was allowed to test this for my thoughts good or bad.

Review of La Mer Bath Co. GOAT MILK SOAP Bar {4 oz.} All Natural

My son has extremely sensitive skin. I have to be picky about what I use on him because one little slip up and he will break out in a rash. I was reluctant to try this on him, but I decided to give it a try. I am so glad I did. This soap does not really have a smell, but does have a great lather. It works just as good as the expensive name brand soap, but is very affordable. It left his skin feeling smooth and soft which was another plus for me. (My son is one.) The detail put into the look of this soap amazed me. When It arrived, it has a very cute little ribbon bow wrapped around the soap and has brown fake "grass underneath it. I know some might not like that but I appreciate company's that not only make a great product, but put the extra details into the way the ship it. I am more than pleased with this and would recommend it. I was allowed to test this for my thoughts good or bad. I have included the link for you to see this amazing soap for yourself.

Review of Doggie iD

This is by far one of the cutest doggie tags I have ever seen. It has your puppy's name, your address and phone number on it like a regular dog tag, but it looks just like a driver's license. They even go so far is to make it look just like yours would (every states license looks different). There is a lot of thought and detail put into making these and it shows. It comes with a little drawstring bag that feels like burlap. It is laminated in a hard plastic which keeps it safe from water and has a metal ring in the top to hang in from your dog's collar. It also comes with a metal hook to attach it to the collar. The hook looks like the kind you would use for rock climbing, but a lot smaller. I had no problems putting this on or taking this off of my dog's collar. You can also upload a photo of your pet to the ID which will look like his driver's license photo. With the thought and detail and how cute this is, I would recommend it. I was allowed to test this for my thoughts good or bad.

Review of Sunsella Stainless Steel Vegetable Steamer.

When this comes it is folded and very compact. It took me a few minutes to figure out how to undo it. But after I did get it open I was quite impressed. It does fit most of my pots as I have tried it in my small, medium, and large pots. It is very easy to use and works wonderfully. I love the fact that it is made from stainless steel. I do not have to worry about it ever rusting. The sides do fold in and out which allows it to fit perfectly in any size pot you are trying to use. the pin on the inside can be removed for bigger pots, but I would recommend you leaving it in as it does make it easier to put in and out. I have had one of these in the past and it was horrible, nothing like this one. I am in love with this and would highly recommend it. I was allowed to test this for my thoughts good or bad, but I have nothing bad to say about it. It works perfectly and is very well made. I have included a link so that you can see this for yourself.

Review of Mighty Plugs: World's Finest Ear Plugs

I got these for my husband to use at work. His company only buys the squishy, nasty ear plugs that have the rope cord on them. His would break every other day and he would have to get a new pair. These fit his ears perfectly and are comfortable enough for him to wear all day and not cause his ears to hurt. He said sometimes he forgets they are even in his ears. They come in a plastic snap shut case that allows easy storage as well as protection while you are not using them. They case is a tad bit small than a pack of tic tacs so it can easily fit in a pocket, purse, drawer, or anywhere else you can think of and they will not take up any room at all. They are very lightweight, but extremely durable. After almost a month of my husband using them taking them in and out of his ears and they still look excatly like they did when I first gave them to him. They have not ripped or tore anywhere. I like that they have lasted a lot longer than the ones his company provides and they are comfortable for him to use. I was allowed to test these for my thoughts good or bad.  I have included the link so that you can see these for yourselves.

Review of FSL Al13 Heavy Bass Earbuds

These are quite comfortable and very well made. The ear buds fit perfectly inside my ear with out causing my ears to hurt even after wearing them for a long time. They do come with a very nice velvet bag that makes it easy to store or keeps them safe while not in use. The cord on these are flat which I personally think is a great idea because they do not get tangled like other ones do. They come with three extra pairs of ear bud covers so there is one for everyone. These do have great sound quality. They do not cause my music to cut in and out. They do tend to have a little bass to them which I loved. I have not had a pair that had this feature. They are noise cancelling which is always a plus. If I am using headphones to hear something I want to actually be able to hear it and not my husband playing the game. These worked in my galaxy s2, my husbands galaxy s3, his tablet, and my kindle perfectly with not problems at all. I also like the fact that it is right angled. I know most people are wondering why I like this feature. It makes it easier to plug in and take out as well as keeping the wire safe. With ones that plug straight into the device, there is a chance that the wire could break while plugging or unplugging them. I am happy with these and would recommend them. I was allowed to test this cool headphones for my honest thoughts good or bad. I have included the link so that you can check these out for yourself.
