Who doesn't like a decent jump rope!! The everlast jump rope is a 10 foot cable that can be adjusted to the user. The instructions explains how to measure the jump rope for beginner or experienced jumper. After proper measurement, you use the screw adjustment and then cut the excess rope. The wire is coated, lightweight and handles are plastic. It also comes with extra rubber stoppers and pouch to carry it it. The size makes it easy to store or travel with. My kids love to jump rope and have been fighting over this one since I got it. My opinion is that it is a great addition to any exercise routine.

Snug Baby Monitor for Smartphones and Tablets #Amazonreview

If you need a camera so you can keep an eye on your little one, this is a great camera!! The camera app came be run on any apple or android tablet or phone and was free to download. The camera has motion and audio detection and has night vision. Set up was easy. Once I took it out of th box, I connected the antenna. Then I plugged the camera into an outlet near my router. To set up you need to plug in the camera to your router and let the camera get connected to the setting. After downloading the app (I just scanned the QR code) I connected the camera to my secure wi-fi. After the camera was connected and elected by the program, I unplugged the camera from the router and brought it to another part of the house. Once it was plugged back in, my phone detected it in just seconds. Once connected, I got live feed of the room. It took me playing around with the program to figure out how to control and turn the camera with my phone. I had the option to hear audio, record, take pictures and choose between colored/night vision. I did shut the wifi off on my phone to see if I could access video on my data and I was able to connect to the camera. According to Amazon, you can view video from anywhere. I am excited to try the camera when I am away from home to see how well it works. Picture quality was not bad at all on my phone (I will include a photo of the video on my phone in this blog). I am highly impressed with this product and wish I had something like this when my kids were little. I would have slept better knowing I could peek in on them.

RMS Beauty - The Ultimate Makeup Remover Wipe #UltimateMakeupWipe

These wipes contain 100% Eco-friendly coconut oil that is supposed to remove make up and help clean your face. The instructions say that if you are using them in cold temperatures that you should warm them between your hands first. The scent of coconut is strong to me, but I do not care for the scent of coconut. I like the fact that the wipes are individually wrapped. After taking it out of the package, I noticed how greasy my hands felt. With my skin and how sensitive and easily prone to acne, I did not want to try this product on my face. I'm wondering if the greasy component of the wipe is meant to moisturize the skin. In my opinion I have tried better facial wipes, but to each his own.

Shower curtain roller rings #DEPOTIMPORT

These roller shower curtain rings are brushed nickel, rustproof, stainless steel. They come in a set of twelve and are very easy to install. Our problem with our kids is that the shower curtain hooks they have do not slide easily. They also tend to fall off the rod a lot. These hooks have made it so much easier to open and close the curtain. Because they roll, they do not get caught up in the rod either. They may not look like it, but they are durable and strong and hold up the shower curtain with no problem. They also work with the bathroom decor and give it a unique look because of how the rollers appear on them.

Chomps Snack Sticks

My family and I had the opportunity to try chomps snacks sticks thanks to brandbacker.The snack sticks are 100% Non-GMO Grass-Fed Angus Beef from New Zealand and the sticks contain no artificial ingredients (no nitrites, nitrates, MSG, colors, flavors). 
The three flavors we got were crankin cran, original and hoppin jalapeño.  The  crankin cran and hoppin jalapeño had some kick to them, but not to the point I wanted to stop eating it. My husband enjoyed the jalapeño more then the other two. I enjoyed the original flavor more. Any beef sticks I have tried in the past have been tough, these sticks however were more tender. I think that is due to the way the meat was prepped without all the extra additives. 
These snack sticks are great for Outdoorsmen, Bodybuilders, Gluten Free Dieters and Parent's looking for healthy snacks for their kids. I would not hesitate giving my kids these for snacks. 
Thanks to brand backers for the free sample to review and give honest feedback.

This is a nice wine aerator and corkscrew. The corkscrew is made of polish steel and the handle is are of hand picked rosewood. It is durable and sturdy. It has a bottle opener, cork remover and foil cutter. The style of it remind me of a pocket knife.
The aerator is a petal desgin made of high quality acrylic. The aerator fits any wine bottle and does not leak around the edges when pouring. Lightweight. Easy to clean.
Both items are presented in a black box with magnetic lid. The items are laid in the box with the inside cut and notched to hold the items secure. The inside is covered with a felt type material. In each box there is a velvet pouch to store the aerator and corkscrew. The two are small and make storing easy. The boxes are small enough to carry these with you.

Mon Platin Gold Edition - Night Repair Cream With Black Caviar&golden Complex


This cream has been the best I have tried so far. Mon Platin gold edition premium night repair cream  is based on plant extracts from the Dead Sea. It contains black caviar extracts, vitamin c, a and e, amino acids, and gold complex capsules. The night repair cream helps prevent wrinkles, creation of free radicals and moisturize skin. The cream has a pleasent fragrance to it. It comes with a little scoop to help get the right amount of cream. The cream is an off white color with black specs in it which I think is the black caviar. The cream almost has a jelly like feel to it. After applying to my face, it did not leave a greasy feeling to it. It actually left my skin feeling soft. Easily absorbed. Did not irritate my skin. It can be used everyday with your skin care routine. I received this product free or at a discounted price in exchange for my honest opinion. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01415YTSI?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00

Calming Ocean Waves #OceanCD

I have always enjoyed the ocean and sounds of the water and the waves. To me that is my happy place to unwind. To me it's relaxing. This CD captures those sounds. The quality of the sound is crystal clear. Unlike other CDs that I have tried that had ocean sounds, this one does not have music playing in the background. It's just the sound of the ocean waves breaking in the shore. Listening to this with my eyes closed makes me feel like I am right at the water. The 60 minute CD came in a protective package with a picture of the beach. This is a great CD to use when trying to fall asleep. Especially for those that need noise.

Zam-art® Liquid Chalk Markers, Super 10 Florescent Color Pack #ZAMArt


These are a great set of liquid chalk markers to have if you are a crafter or older kids. They are non-toxic and are water based. They can be used on any number of non-porous surfaces. To activate for first time use, you push the tip down once. Put the lid back on and shake it a few times. Then you press the tip down for several seconds till it is filled with the ink. The ink dries real quick. My oldest daughter used it on her whiteboard and it cleaned off real easy with a dry paper towel. The market tips are reversible; chiseled or bullet. I said older kids in the beginning because when you reverse the tip, you just take the tip out and flip it. The liquid ink did get on my fingers but washed off easily with water. Younger kids can use them too but you may want to supervise. The colors are vibrant. I am happy with these markers. My daughter loves them for her whiteboard because of the ease of use and clean up. I would recommend these to friends and family with no hesitation. I received item free or at a discounted price in exchange for my honest opinion. http://www.amazon.com/dp/B015BWQT7O

I got the LG stylus leather phone case in black for my mother in law to try with her phone. It is designed for the LG G4 phone. The cover is held closed by a magnetic flap.

The back of the case has the cut out so your camera won't be obstructed. The interior case has the slots to plug in your charger or headphones while phone is still in the case.

Repel A Pest Ultrasonic Pest Repeller

The device is supposed to emit a powerful electromagnetic frequency wave that repels rodents and insects. It also emits waves through the wires in the walls to repel critters from coming in that way as well. I don't have any rodent problems but every now and the the rain can drive in some ants. I plugged this device up near our pantry, because that's were these ants tend to go. Since plugging it in, I have not seen any ants. I'm nit sure if it's because of the device, but regardless I'll take it. I have seen some reviews say it works for them for rats/mice. I'm still using this device to see if that is why I don't see anymore ants. My opinion on it is still kind of up in the air.

Master Culinary Multipurpose 5-blade Herb Scissors

These herb scissors have been great for me in the kitchen. I grow basil and love to cook with it. Before getting these, I used a regular pair of scissors to cut the basil. I have some recipes that need to have the basil cut into very little prices and young regular scissors made it a pain. With these, it has made it easier. I am not having to re-cut basil to make it smaller. The herb scissors have five blades made of stainless steel. They are very sharp. It also comes with a cleaning brush to clean the herbs off of it. Dishwasher safe. The things I wonder is when it comes time to have to sharpen the blades, how I'm going to do that. Another is how long it will take for them to become rusted or stick when opening/closing. I would recommend these for those that cook. Makes it easier.

TAZO chai

Thanks to smiley360, I received some samples to try some of there teas. I'm not a big tea fan, but I have enjoyed trying the chocolate and vanilla caramel teas. All contain black tea. The chocolate one has rich cocoa with classic chai spices in its blend. The vanilla caramel has the vanilla caramel spices in it and the classic has cinnamon, cardamom, black pepper and spices. I honestly did not try the classic because the thought of black pepper in something I drink did not sound appealing to me. http://h5.sml360.com/-/1fb4o

Ace Lunch Box | Beautiful Insulated and Stackable Lunchbox With 3 Storage Compartments

This is a good concept as far as having different compartments for your food. There are three containers that come apart by undoing the clips. The lunchbox can keep your food hot or cold. It's dishwasher and microwave safe. The only downside is that it stacks. At times it seems to be to much for a lunch box. It does however work great for my kids when they have to pack lunches for school trips. My opinion would be if you don't mind the stacking, it's a pretty cool lunchbox.

Full Spectrum Light Bulbs

When I took this light bulb out of the box, I was surprised at how big it is!! I had no problem installing it into my table lamp. It does stick out a touch over the lamp shade, but my lamp shade is small. The light bulb gives off fantastic light and has really brighten up my living room compared to my old regular light bulb. I love the fact that the bulb is supposed to last for 8000 hours. Our regular standard bulbs are constantly going out so I am hoping this one really stands up to its description.

Professional SST Cocktail Shaker SET #mixologistworld

If you like making drinks, this is for you. The mixologist shaker comes with the shaker that has a built in strainer. Holds 24oz. Made of stainless steel, so it's shiny!! The kit also came with a double sided jogger and an illustrated guide to making different cocktails. I have not used it to make any cocktails but have used it to mix water with different drink packs. My oldest likes it because she can make herself a single serving of lemonade. The shaker is easy to clean and did fine in my dishwasher. This is a nice addition for those who enjoy making drinks. Also a nice trinket to add to any home bar. I received this item free or at a discounted price in exchange for my honest opinion. http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00L0IDATO

Anonymous by Christine Benedict #thriller

The story is set back in the mid 1980's. Debra and her husband have just bought an old, run down, fixer upper farm house. Here Debra becomes friends with her neighbor Julie. Debra's background is told of how she grew up with an abusive, crazy mother through out the book. This is brought into play because while they are fixing up this farm house, she begins to hear strange sounds. Because she is the only one who hears them, she thinks she has inherited her mothers craziness. Juliet meanwhile has started to receive anonymous letters from a guy who likes her. Julie's husband finds the letters and becomes enraged and wants to find the guy. Meanwhile there is a psycho game warden who becomes involved with Debra's life due to all these cats being around her farm house. Debra, Juliet and the game warden are all brought together in this book with a twist involving the old farm house. A lot of the book seemed to focus on the anonymous gentleman who is sending Juliet the letters. While reading the book, I came to suspect that maybe Debra's husband could be the one writing them (won't go any further in case someone wants to read th book). At times while reading the book I felt the author sometimes got away from the story line, but in the end it all came together and made sense. I love mystery books and was not disappointed with this one. I received this item free or at a discounted price in exchange for my honest opinion. http://www.authorchristinebenedict.com/

OZ Naturals-Vitamin C Serum For Your Face #OZNaturalsVCSerum


Not sure on how I feel about this serum. The product states the benefits of using vitamin C can help skin tone, reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. I have some skin discoloration from acne. I used the product as instructed, but did not see any real changes in the appearance. The serum is thick, which I really did not care for. After applying to my face, my skin felt like a dry, tight feeling. It did leave my skin with somewhat of a glow. Overall it may work for some out there, but did not work for me.

iPhone 5S Case and Wallet

Not to bad of a case. The cover has a magnetic flap. My iPhone fit nicely into the phone holder. I have had phone cases in the past were they did not close when my phone was inside. Not a problem with this one. The lid stayed closed. The inside of the lid has slots for you to carry credit/debit cards and drivers listens. The back of the case has the proper cut out for the iPhone camera, so you can take pictures with your phone in the case. The case is not bulky or huge so carrying and storage not a problem. The phone case is made of leather. I would give this case a 9/10.
