AqtivAqua® "Poseidon" Swim Goggles

When I recieved these in the mail, even my husband was impressed with them. He even mentioned a few times the would work great for diving. I got the chance to use them recently in a boating trip to the gulf. The polarized lenses were amazing. They help protect my eyes from not only the sun, but also the glare the sun creates bouncing off the water. Another Huge plus was the anti-fog. I have used goggles in the past that way they are anti-fog but as soon as I wear them for a few minutes, I find that I have to clean them off. Not once did I have to take them off to clean the lenses on my trip. I am curious to see if the ani-fog will wear away over time. A bonus with the goggles as well was the awesome carring case they came in. The Case feels pretty sturdy and zips shut. Weill definitely protect any glasses that are carried in them. These by far are a great set of goggles.
I recieved this item free or at a discounted price for my honest review, however that did not effect my opinions in any way.

Nylea Hair Straightener Brush

I have always wanted to try one of these after hearing a friend rave about hers. My oldest has some wild hair and because of her age (11 yrs) really does not care to do anything with her hair and it's a battle for me to get her to do anything with it. I figured since this thing is a hair brush it would not require a whole lot of fuss for her to use. She was excited to try it and found that it was easy to use and it really did help calm her hair down. I also,like she was less Likely to burn herself with it and could use it on her own. I have also tried it and it worked pretty well on my long, thick hair. I did find that it did not straighten like a regular flat iron, which was not a real big issue with me. I think I need to use it more and experiment it. 
The screen is LED and the highest the temp can get on this is 440F. It also came with two hair clips  that are similar to the kind hair stylists use. As far as how they work I am not sure because I have  not used them yet. So far we are very happy with this item.

QiJu Women 3d Printed One Piece Swimwear

I ordered this swimsuit for my oldest who is a big Harry Potter fan. She fell in love with it as soon as we opened the package. I did find that the material used for the swimsuit was on the thin side. It does not feel like the quality thickness you find with other swimsuits. It also has not cup padding. With no padding and the thinness of the material, I am hesitant on letting her wear it. I was curious to see how it would stand up after washing it in the washing machine and taking a tumble through the dryer. It held up real well and I did. To see any fraying or tearing anywhere.
I have to say it maybe an ok swimsuit to wear around ones yard or personal pool. It is ones one opinion and discretion if it you want to try and wear it in public.

Bezzp Cute Canvas Pencil Case Cartoon Horse

Lightweight, easy the carry, canvas pencil case. The is an embroidered horse in the lower right corner. The pencil case is one the small size. It is a good size if you carry a pens in your purse and you want to keep them in something that makes it easier to find. It may also make for a good change holder. It does have a flat bottom so it sits upright when placed on a flat surface. Zippered top. I was really surprised at the size. I wish it was a little bigger so my youngest could use it for school to carry all the pencils and highlighters they need. My oldest has used it to carry her drawing pencils with her when we travel which has been great for her because otherwise she just carries them and ends up loosing them. I do like how they have the horse embroidered on it instead of it being an iron on decal. The pink canvas does feel very thick, so I feel it would hold up for sometime depending on what you may use it for. I think it would make a great carrying case for little ones color crayons or markers. My only complaint really is the size.

BLAYZ Wireless Bluetooth In-Ear Headphone with Mic and USB Car Charger for iPhone Android

So far these headphones have been pretty decent. Like other Bluetooth headphones, it only took seconds to link to my iPad. The sound quality they produce is awesome. I have had headphones that when turned up all the way, are still really quit. Not with these!! The music is really loud. Another great feature I like is that when I am connected to my iPhone and I get a phone call, the headphones prompt tells me the number that is calling me. That has been nice since I carry my phone on an armband when at the gym. You cal control the volume and forward or back play from the ear piece.
The headphones come in a zippered carrying case. The case is small enough you can carry it in your pocket. Inside the case were different size ears pieces. They also included a bonus item which turned out to be a car charger. It also came with two charging cords. One cord is about 12 inches long and the other one is about the length of an iPhone cord. 
The battery take 2 hours to fully charge. Once fully charge, it can last up to 8 hours of music play. I will say that I am very happy the headphones so far. I'm not sure how they hold up over a course of continued use as I only use my once in awhile. Price isn't too bad. I have seen other wireless headphones go for more and do less.

Shmily Girl Women's Bohemia Floral Chiffon Dress

This dress is 100% chiffon, polyester and spandex. The pattern of this dress is gray flowers. I choose the color green which looks more of a coral color. The underlying dress is floor length. The dress also came with a belt that you can use. I personally like the dress with the belt on. The material is very lightweight and flows. The neck tie is adjustable and ties at the back of the neck. This dress can be worn for pretty much anything. I worn my to a wedding that was held this summer (reception was outside). Because the fabric is so lightweight, I was not hot. There is just something about this dress and the pattern of it that it has a elegant look to it, but not so elegant that I cannot wear it during the day. I did order mine in a large and it fit just fine. It does instruct that you hand wash it and let air dry.   Very happy with this dress.

GreenForest Kitchen Trolley Cart Food Storage Wine Food Rack 3 Shelves With 4 Movable Wheels

This trolley cart is the cutest thing!! The cart has a modern look and design to it. The cart is metal and  medium density fiberboard. The fiberboard is not real thick but have heard up pretty well. I like how the bottom rack has the two bottle holders. That has come in handy. The instructions that came with it are not all that great. It is just a bunch of pictures showing how to put together. The actual job of putting it together was real easy. Another kicker is the wheels do not want to spin to well and that can get a bit frustrating. I actually have brought this cart to where I work. We are always having catered lunches or parties and have used this cart from using it for it main purpose to decoration. Overall I feel this cart has room for improvement. If you want something to just use as a decoration or use to decoratively store kitchen items on, this maybe for you.

Family of Distorted Minds: A True Story By Deborah J. Rose #wisemediagroup

Deborah J. Rose has written a story about telling about her unimaginable childhood and the family history that lead to this story.
Deborah begins the story by telling of her constant struggle with neck pain that she has had to deal with for as long as she can remember, but does not know the cause of it. One night while using the restroom, an incident happened that lead to her being admitted to a hospital for neck surgery. During the surgery, Deborah experiences memory flashbacks about the incident that lead to this.
Deborah goes on to tell the story of how the disruption and abuse (sexual and physical) began with her grandparents and continued on down to her.
While reading this book, I had to stop several times. The unimaginable horrors that the women in this family endured is horrific. As I read it, I felt angry and hatred towards the parents. How could the mothers justify not protecting their kids is beyond me. Plus the anger and sorrow I felt for the author as she told of her loveless marriage and crap husband. How much can one person endure without giving up on life. What Deborah experienced would break most people. She however goes on to describe how she felt God had bigger plans for her and that she was here for a reason, and the ability to go on and forgive those who tried to destroy her. I feel the author did an amazing job at telling her story. I applaud her for having the courage to tell something so personal and horrendous. I received this book free in exchange for my honest opinion.

Max Ceramide-Post Chemical Peel-Soothing and Moisturizing Cream from MaxLife USA, Inc #ceramidefacialcream


I'm not too familiar with this company and their line of products, so I was very interested to see what this had to offer.
The cold processed cream is supposed to be good for many different skin types. It helps reduce wrinkles and appearances of lines . It also helps moisturize and reduce irritation to the skin that has been treated post chemical peels or environment factors.  Instructions states to apply to skin and massage for 2-3 minutes for optimal absorption. It comes in a 2.6 oz jar and a little travel size pot to use when traveling. It also contains a spatula. The cream does not have any frangrence to it, but does have that cream smell to it. It is fairly thick, with a small amount going a long way, so this jar will last for some time. When applying you really do want to massage for the 2-3 minutes that is recommended. If you don't it leaves a glossy/oil residue/appearance to your skin. Because of that I was worried it would leave my skin oily, but the more I rubbed it in, the better it got. It does help my skin feel more hydrated and has made my skin feel smoother. I like how they include the spatula for application and the little travel jar to use. So far with my sensitive skin, I have not had irritation or reactions. Overall it is a pretty good cold processed cream to try.

La Deessa Retinol Serum #LaDeessaBeauty

La Deesa retinol serum is 72% organic skin care. With recently finding out that my skin is allergic to some chemicals that are found in everyday products, I have had a hard time finding things to use on my face without causing a reaction. With this serum being alcholo free, frangrence free and sulfate free; just to name a few, I was willing to give it a try.
The serum is designed to help decrease the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, improve skin tone and texture and hydrate the skin. The serum comes in a 30ml glass bottle with a pump top. I like the pump top because it allows me to control the amount of serum I want to use. The serum is not very thick but not runny either. True to its word, it really does not contain any fragrance to it. It is recommended per bottle to apply at bedtime but if you apply in the morning, it recommends you let it dry before applying any makeup. I usually apply mine at bedtime. The serum does dry fairly quickly and I did not have any oil or greasy type feeling once it dried. I do notice when I do use it, that my skin feels so much better and not as dry. I have also noticed that my skin has started to feel smoother in areas that I had rough skin issues such as my cheeks and forehead. A big plus is that my skin has not experienced any reaction to it. My overall option on this product is that I would recommend it to anyone looking to add a useful serum to their daily facial care.

Treecoo Folding Tablet Stand, Portable #iPadStand

Portable tablet holder that can hold tablets that are 7-10 inches. The stand is lightweight and easily adjustable. The stand allows for tablets to be positioned horizontal or vertical. Illustrated instructions are on the box that show set up which only takes seconds.
I have used this stand to hold my tablet like crazy. The most I use it is in the kitchen to hold my tablet when I want to listen to music or trying out recipes. I love being able to angle my tablet instead of laying flat on the counter, and being able to adjust the screen for better viewing. My kids have used it to hold their kindles when watching movies or YouTube videos instead of having to hold their tablets in their hands. I was really amazed at how sturdy the tablet holder is considering it is plastic and has held up with repeated use. Easy to fold and store when not being used. And because it is so lightweight and small to carry, I just throw it in my bag or purse to take with me. Very nice tablet holder.

Ohuhu 3X3X3 Stickerless Speed Cube #cube

Lightweight, non-toxic, anti-pop Rubix cube. This is just like the old time Rubix cubes from when I was younger. The difference between the one then and this one is that I cannot pop the cubes and cheat!! My family and I have really enjoyed trying to solve the cube. If I am not working on it, the one of my kids is. The cube did come with instructions which to me are not that well written. With that being said, it's a Rubix cube. You need to use your imagination and thinking skills to solve, not instructions. Great gift item for those that love to do puzzles like this.

US Art Supply Jewelescent 48 Color Gel Pen Set #usartsupply

48 gel pen set that includes colors that are metalic, neon, sparkle, regular, pastel and swirl. Tips of the pens range from 0.8 to 1.0mm.
I love how easy these pens write. I have used other gel pens in the past and have had some that skipped or clogged when trying to use. With these pens I have not yet had that problem. I have used these pens with my adult coloring books because I like how much better the colors turn out compared to markers or colored pencils. My husband liked how these pens wrote that he actually stole the black colored pens for work. These pens have also been used by my kids for arts and crafts. My oldest uses them with her anime drawings because of how well they work. These pens are a definite must for those that like gel pens.

TheMagicLift Wrinkle Filler #themagiclift


Magic lift is a non-invasive cream that helps reduce the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, puffiness and can even skin tone for a short period of time.
Unlike other creams or serums I have tried, this one is very adherent to patting on the product to the site you want to treat. If you rub it on it can cause flaking of the cream. Allow a few minutes to dry while keeping your face still. If you wear make-up, you are supposed to put your make-up on first, then this. Using to much of this product can cause skin irritation.
When I got this I really thought it was a product that would help skin over time. I did not realize it was a temporary, 8 hour type fix that you wash off at the end of the day. It is light when applying to the skin. I did not like having to wait for this product to dry before moving my face. I did move it once while waiting for it to dry and had to start over. Another thing I did not care for was the product did not last at least 8 hours for me. I do not have the time to stop during the day to reapply and let dry. With that being said, this product works great when I came for some pictures taken of me during a wedding. My face appeared more even and smooth. I am going to give this another try when I go on  our next cruise and have to have a bunch of pictures taken.
My opinion of this product is that it is a good item to use if you need to go somewhere all dressed up to the nines, but not a good idea to wear during your normal daily activities.

Limm Exercise Resistance Loop Bands #limmloopbands

In this kit you get 5 resistance bands that are different levels, mesh carrying bag and instructions. The Banda are loop desgined and measure 12" in lenght. Each colored band represents a different resistance level. It goes from yellow being for rehab/senior training, green for beginners, blue for medium average fitness level, red heavy average fitness level to black being for those that fit/active. The instructions show you a few of the more common/basic workouts with the bands. It does provide a link to the website that offers a more complete manual. Here is the thing with the website that I do not care for. I had to register to even get to the additional workouts. I really did not want to register, but I wanted to see what they had to offer.
Once I was signed up and accessed my portal, I was brought right to the resistance loop section. Still not sure how they knew what product I owned since I did not have to do anything else at sign up but my name and email address. The site has 4 sections to choose from. There is a section showing you how to care for the bands. Another sections shows you the exercise while the 3rd section shows you the videos of them. The last section is just the option to print the workout instructions. Within this section they are currently working on a 30 min workout series.
So far my thought on these is that it's a decent item. The bands have held up good and I like that it came with a caring bag. Plus it's been nice on days I do not feel like going to the gym, I can just pull these out and do it at home.

Oops Style Women's Sleeveless Ruffle Neck Chiffon Long Maxi Dress

I received my dress in the in a pink color although it had it listed as red. I personally like the pink color. It is the same color as the dress in the pic. The dress is sleeveless and has a ruffled neck. The dress ties in the back at the neck. The inner dress is made of a stretchy material and comes to just above my knees. The outer part is the chiffon sheer material and comes to just at my ankles. It is a one size fits most. I typically wear a size 10/12 and this fit perfect. The material used for the dress is very lightweight and soft. The dress can be worn with the tie that came with it or without. I personally like it better without the tie. I love how the dress just seems to flow around you. The style is more on the dressy side and I did get it to wear to a wedding. Overall I'm pretty satisfied with it but not sure when I will get to wear it again. http://www.amazon.com/Oops-Style-Sleeveless-Chiffon-Bridesmaid/dp/B019F72G6O?ie=UTF8&psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o04_s00

BLINK Summer Sarongs style Women's Beach Wear Bikini Cover up


The wrap is made of ice silk. Fits S/M size. It does fit a little snug, but not tight. I ordered this to use on a future cruise but could not wait to try it on. The material is so soft and lightweight which will come in handy with the hot weather. The material is not see through which I like. The sarong stops just above my knees, so the length is perfect. I love the pattern and look. I wish it was a dress you could wear anytime. I did wash it in the washing machine and it came out looking fine. I let mine air dry instead of putting it in the dryer. About 30 minutes of air drying it was dry. I am very happy with this item and cannot wait to wear it on my trip.

MoZArt Cat & Dog Sewing Pattern Kit for kids

With having kids who,love to craft and are currently wanting to learn to sew, I thought this would be a great way to start.
The neat thing about the sewing kit is that it came with everything we needed. It came with the fabrics, thread, two plastic sewing needles and stuffing. Each animal was in its own package in the box so there was no stress about having to find what piece went to what. Once we had the pieces set out, we got into reading the instructions. The instructions are vague. There was just pictures showing what went where and that is it. It was more of a simplistic set of pictures to look at.
The thread that comes with each kit is one long piece, so you have to gage how much you will need for each section you are sewing.
Once the needles were thread, it was time to sew. The material you are given is felt and it had pre-marked spots to show where the sewing needed to occur. That helped the kids out a lot. The needle however is plastic and became very weak after a few stictches. Once they completed the sewing, they stuffed their animals and proudly showed off their work.
Overall it's a decent kit for kids. I feel though the instructions could have been better and a stronger needle. But very easy for kids to do on their own.

Essential Oil Blends for Aromatherapy - Best 6 blend set

I have had nothing but good experiences with RADHA products. I was really excited to get this set of essential oils from them.
The box contains 6 of the best blends. The set includes :

1. Rest and Relax-it is a combination of lavender, marjoram, copaiba basalm, roman chamomile and clary sage. This blend is used to promote relaxation and calmness.

2. Four Thieves-a blend of clove, cinnamon, lemon, rosemary and eucalyptus. It is believed that this blend strengthens and aides the immune system.

3. Breath Easy-blend of eucalyptus, peppermint, tea tree, fir needle, lemon, cardamom and laurel leaf. This blend is great to use to help open congested nasal passages due to colds or allergies.

4. Stress Free-blend of bergamot, patchouli, orange, ylang ylang and grapefruit. Helps reduce stress.

5. Pure Healing-citronella, lemongrass, Rosemary, tea tree and lavender are combined to help create a fragrance that helps against negative energy and purifie the air.

6. Happy Citrus-orange, lemon, mandarin, clementine, tangerine, bergamot and vanilla help promote a positive attitude.
My favorite in these has been the Happy citrus. It has such a summer type scent and is not overwhelming. I just add a few drops to my warmer and enjoy the scent. The breath easy has worked great with congestion our family tends to suffer due to allergies and it to has a pleasent scent to it. It is not overpowering like the scent of Vicks. The other scents are different and I think is going to take some time to get used to. The four thieves to me has a cinnamon scent that compared to other cinnamon scents is not very pleasent smelling. There is something about it that just smells funny. Once again the RADHA company has done a great job with these. Would highly recommend to those that use essential oils.

Armband that fits iPhone SE, 5, 5S, 5C that gas an otterbox, lifeproof case and other cases. Firs arms 9-14 inches.
First off this my phone fits great in this case holder. My phone does have an otterbox defender case on it. The clear protective screen on the armband does not affect the interacting with my phone screen. The compartment that holds my phone is designed to zip shut. There is enough room that you can carry cash, debit card or car key in the same compartment as your phone. The armband also came with a Velcro extender that adds 6 more inches which is nice. I can wear the armband with sweatshirts jr jackets. It also allows easy access for my headphones.
This armband has come in handy for me at the gym or when I am doing yard work. The only thing I would change is have an extra slot or compartment to hold cash or cards separate from phone compartment. Great armband to use for those that are active and like to carry their phone with them.

HSI Professional Hydrating Hair Mask

HSI Professional smoothing hair mask is designed to work for all hair types. The argan oil helps control frizz and help restore hair and replenish hydration.
I color treat my hair and I am always on the look out for a hair care product to help repair my hair. I have tried several products in the past and may have found 1 or 2 products that work pretty well.
When I got this product to try out, I was not sure what I could expect from it. The instructions say to leave in hair for 5 minutes and then rinse. The first time I used this I left it in for 15 minutes. The mask is not a very thick liquid but not runny either. It's kind of right in the middle for consistency. The fragrance smells like other argan hair treatments I have used and I for one like it smell. After 15 minutes I rinsed it out. While rinsing it out I noticed that my hair did feel smoother. When you rinse this out you do want to make sure your rinse really well. It took about 3-5 minutes of rinsing for me to make sure I did not leave any product behind (if I do my hair looks greasy). I let my hair air dry overnight. The next day my hair looked and felt healthier. My hair did not have as much of a frizz look to it after brushing it. After styling my hair I noticed that my hair was more smooth/slick looking. I have been using this hair mask 2-3 times a week since then. I love how it has restored my hair and how much healthier looking it has become. I would definitely recommend this hair mask to others to try.

iPhone 5s Wallet Case by Collen

This phone case fits my iPhone 5s perfectly. My phone easily snapped into the inner phone case. On the inside of the cover is slots so I can carry any cards I might need. Plus a pocket to store cash. It holds just enough if you are making a quick run somewhere and do not want to have to carry more then your phone and card. The case is held shit by a magnetic strap. The phone case has the slots notched for the charger, ear phones and camera. The material of the case feels like imitation leather, thick and durable. The wrist strap us small. I would call it more of a carrying strap since it does not fit my wrist. I chose black for the color of my phone case. Overall it is a very nice case and very stylish. I do not plan on leaving my phone in this case all the time. Instead I will use it when I do not want to have to haul a purse and wallet with me.

RADHA BEAUTY Top 6 Essentail Oils

I have to sat that Radha Beauty is all about their products. I was given the opportunity to try out and review their 6 essential oil kit.
The kit contains 6, 10ml glass bottles contained in a long, rectangular, black box. The  box contains the following oils:

1. Lavender-helps promote rest and relaxation
2. Tea Tree-can be used to help rid bacteria from wounds to help promote faster healing and prevent future infections. It does create a cooling sensation to the skin if applied.
3. Eucalyptus-can help improve symptoms of congestion and cough. Also is an anti-inflammatory.
4. Orange-helps maintain normal cellular regeneration. Can also be used to help in relaxation.
5. Lemongrass-can help with relaxation and aches. Can also kill bacteria.
6. Peppermint-this one has many different uses. Can be used to help with stomach issues, help muscle pain, relaxation and more.

The inside bottle top is designed so that the oils can not be poured but instead comes out in drops, making it easier for you to control the amount you want to use.
I know a few people who use oils but I have never used essential oils before and was really curious on how well they worked. I had the chance to try the Eucalyptus and Pepperment with my old st. She was battling a cough that got worse at night. I applied 3 drops of the Eucalytpus and Pepperment and applied it to her chest. I was amazed how much better she did that night with her coughing. I am now excited to try the other ones to see if they work as well.
I will say that I did enjoy the sent of Pepperment , Eucalyptus and Tea Tree. These three had the most pleasent scents out of the 6.
I am very pleased with this product and would recommend to others. I received this item free or at a discounted price in exchange for my honest opinion.

Marbel GOLDIE-21 Lace Up Heel Ankle Boot Bootie #zooshoo

I was so excited to get these shoes in the mail!! I fell in love with the picture of them and knew I had to get them. I will say that when I went to order my size, I was a little nervous about how they would fit. I can wear between an 8.5 to a 9.5 depending on the maker of the shoe. I ordered a size 9. I have about a good 1/2 inch from my toe to the front of the shoe barefoot. With a pair of socks, they fit great. For me they were comfortable to wear but I did not wear them for a long period of time.
The material of the shoe is made from vegan suede with 4" heel and 1" platform. Has non-skid sole. The shoe does come in other colors but I really liked the deeper red color. The style of the shoe can be worn with jeans, slacks or dress. So far they have become my favorite pair of shoes. Would recommend these to any shoe lover to try.

iCooker 3 x 4 Wall Decor Decal Family Tree Sticker

I was really surprised at how big this sticker really was.
The vinyl tree comes as two sheets with no instructions. It has a picture of the finished product and the pieces are numbered. It is not hard to apply and is pretty much self-explanatory.
My mom and step-dad have just recently done something like this in their house (they had theirs professionally done) and wanted something similar but not have to spend the money to have someone do it for me. My thing with the tree was trying to find a wall big enough. With my oldest working towards her own room, I figured this would be great since her room has a giant wall with nothing on it. The design and color work great with her room colors and decor. The frames are stickers that are applied to the wall with the pictures you want to hang. We have not added any photos yet. I think she may use them more to display her art work. The stickers can be removed and reapplied, but I would not recommend doing this a whole lot as it could cause the stickers to eventually rip.
Overall I am very pleased and happy with how this item turned out. If I am in the market for another big wall decor, I will be choking out this company again.

Run Baby Sport Sunglasses #SportSunglasses

Lightweight sunglasses for men or women. They offer UV 400. The yellow lenses are supposed to help vision clarity and help enhance depth perception.
When I took them out of the case, they seemed like a really cheap pair of the glasses. The frames are lightweight but I feel one could break them with no problem. I will say they are comfortable to wear. My husband liked how the yellow lenses made everything look sharper to him. He said it was like looking through a pair of polarized glasses. When I wear them, I feel like I am wearing safety glasses.
The sunglasses came in a really nice sunglasses case. To me the case was nicer than the glasses. It is big and durable and can hold any size sunglasses. My opinion on these glasses is mixed. They are as described in the description of them but they are just not something I would wear.

6 Strand Cream Classic Illusion Galactic Pearl Bridal Necklace and Earrings Set #pearlstrand

I recently received this 6 strand Galactic pearl nickle with earrings in the mail. I was pleasently surprised how lightweight the necklace was. The pearls are not as big as they appear to be in the picture. The 6 strands actually look like thick fishing line. The pearls do not move on the strands so there is no worry about them collecting in one giant mess. The pearls are white in color and do have some shine to them. The necklace can be adjusted from 16-20 inches. The earring that came with the set are lightweight also. This necklace and earring set would be great a great accessory for prom. It is also not so fancy that you cannot wear it with other articles of clothing. My concern with this necklace is that because the strands look fragile, it will break easily. Same goes for the earringst. I remind me of costume jewelry. I am not really sure if I would recommend this item.

La-Chef BBQ Grill Mat #GrilMat

Not only did I get just a grilling mat, but it also came with an additional mat, mesh mat and a baking mat. We have been using these on our gas grill and not had any problems with them. They are also safe to use on charcol and electric grills and smokers. Nonstick. Very easy to clean. We just wash ours in soapy water. I have always wanted to try and make grilled flat bread bruschetta but did not want to spend a ton of money on a baking stone. Plus I was not to jazzed to place the bread on just the wire rack and have to deal with it cooking to it. I was excited to try these out in place of a cooking stone. The flat bread turned out fabulous!! There is just something about having food cooked on the grill. I have read that you can cook all sorts on different foods on these. I hope to try cooking some meat on them to see if it helps lock in the flavor better since it will not be dripping between the racks. I would recommend these to friends and family and to those that like to grill.

Chalkboard Labels Mega Bundle #ChefsAddiction

This kit comes with 92 chalkboard paint label stickers. The stickers come in many different sizes. It also comes with a white chalk marker, dry erasable black marker, magnetic shopping list, plus a digital guide. The labels come in 8 unique shapes and sizes and at reusable. You get 32 large sized labs, 30 medium and 30 small.
I am excited to use some of these labels for crafting. The markers that come with the kit work really well. You can also use liquid chalk on them as well. The magnetic shopping list has found a place on my fridge. I don't really use it as a shopping remind as much as I do for reminders. It cleans very easily. I just use a dry wash cloth to clean it. There are so many labels in this kit and they have several different designs. It's definitely a good kit to get for crafting. Also great to use for organization/labeling, but with style.
