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. I received this item free or at a discounted price in exchange for my honest opinion. http://www.amazon.com/dp/B019VCCAF0

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. I received this item free or at a discounted price in exchange for my honest opinion. http://www.amazon.com/Mat-As-TV-Set--Reuseable-Leave-Intact-Lifetime-Guarantee/dp/B01B0WZG6Y/ref=sr_1_43?s=lawn-garden&ie=UTF8&qid=1458167851&sr=1-43&keywords=grill+mat

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.

OTISA - 3Ft,6Ft,10Ft - High Speed Heavy Duty iPhone cords

The pack has 3 different length cords. It contains 3Ft, 6Ft, and 10Ft. Compatible with iPhone 6s/6/5, iPad Air/mini, iPod Nano/touch. The cords are thicker then the cords that come with my apple products. I have tried it on my iPad Air 2 and iPhone 5s with no problems. This cord seems like it is going to last longer then my other cords I got with my apple products. Another plus is that it is not a bad price for the number of cords you get, and I could always use extra cords. Very happy with this product and would recommend.

First Botany Cosmeceuticals Coconut Oil Hair Mask


I was looking forward to trying out this product when I got it in the mail. I highlight my hair, so I am always on the lookout to try a product to see if it will help restore my hair.
This product provides deep conditioning, hydrates and revives dull/dry hair. It also is a dentagler. Safe to use on all hair types.  Contains coconut oil, ginger extract and rosehip seed oil.
The first to,e I used it, I let it sit in my hair for about 30 minutes. I figured the longer it sat in there, the better my hair would look sand feel. When rinsing the mask out, I noticed my hair did not feel as smooth like some conditioners or masks I have used. It really felt like no product was in my hair. I figured once my hair dried, it would be softer and smooth. My hair real did not feel soft or smooth. In fact it kind of felt dry. It is mentioned that the longer you use this product, the better results you are supposed to see. So I gave the mask a few more time, but ended up with the same results. There maybe some this product worked well for them, but for me it did not. My opinion is that I could not recommend this to anyone from my results.

It also helps with acne and the redness and inflammation of the skin it can cause, The night cream contains vitamin C, niacinamide, organic rosehip oil and organic argon oil to help reverse the signs of aging and improve completion.
This night cream was given best nighttime skin creams by shape magazine. Safe for all skin types.
I will first say that since recently being diagnosed with wicked allergies to a number of ingredients in everyday products, I was a little hesitant to try this. Being that the ingredients are more organic, I went ahead to try this out.
My first impression was that it was not oily. My face did not have the left over oily feeling it can get with some products. Another thing was how smooth it went on and did not leave a film on my skin. I do apply the cream 1-2 times a day and the change in how soft my skin is has bee great. I have not noticed any decrease with blemishes or acne scarring but that may change over a length of use.

Arrela BH1 Bluetooth 4.1 Headphone

The headphones list some good features. Energy saving, Bluetooth headphones. Supports Hi-Fi music and HD calling. Butterfly hinge ear desgin with soft silicone ear buds. Built in microphone. 6 hours of playtime/calling time. 10 day standby time and charging takes less then 2 hours.
The earbuds are comfortable and I do like that they are wireless. Easy to pair to my phone. The things I did not care for was the sound quality. Music and phone calls were low quality sounding. Another issue was answering phone calls. There is a button on an ear piece that you press to control playing the music or answering a call. There ere times I would try to answer a call but it would play my music. Last thing is that I could only answer calls but not make them through the headset. That is kind of a let down. Overall they are kind of on the pricey side and could be better.

Buttons and Pleats Compression Socks Womens

Women's compression socks. Helps improve circulation, decrease risk of swelling, help with aching and heaviness and helps recover faster after exercising. Made from 83% spandex , 17% nylon. Working in the medical field, compression socks can become your best friend. What I liked right off about these is how light and soft the material felt. I got mine in a size M/L and they fit great. Not to snug and not to loose. Material is breathable and my legs do not get hot when wearing them. In fact where I work we keep it cold so these have come I handy some days.  I'm on my feet 8+ hours a day and when I wear these my feet and legs are not as tired as if I wore regular socks. I also have worn them with dress pants. They look just like nylons. They are machine washable and have held up pretty well after several washes and runs through the dryer. Very happy with this product. I would recommend these to friends or to those who work on their feet a lot.

SMARCO Waterproof Bag, Cell Phone Waterproof Pouch, Waterproof Dry Bag Case

Protects devices from the elements. The bag fits cell phones that are up to 6.0 diagonal size. The bag was clear window on the front and back so you do not have to take it out to do photos or need to access the screen. The bag closes at the top by two tabs that you turn. There is no zip lock type closure. The instructions do recommend that you inspect the bag before using. Do not use in water above 30 degrees centigrade. It also recommends that you do a trial test by putting a cloth or paper into it. Soak and shake the bag for 3 minutes. Wipe off then check the interior. I was able to fit my iPhone 5s with the otter box case into this bag and it fit great with some rooms to spare. I tested this thing out in some water in my kitchen sink. After taking my phone out of the bag there was some droplets on the screen and some moisture was noted inside the bag. I'm indifferent to this item. I think it would be ok if you just want add protection to your phone in the off chance you drop it in water (like if you use your phone I the tub, this maybe something to look into). I would not however wear this thing around my neck (comes with neck strap) while swimming. I am not to trusting on how well it would work with being submerged for a long period of time.

Mpow Grip Magnet Universal Windshield Car Mount Holder

MPOW magnetic car window mount phone holder. The car mount comes with 2 different sized metal plates that attach to the back of phones adhesively. The mount attaches to the car window by suction. The neck of the holder can be rotate to any angle. I used this in my car to hold my iPhone 5s. Now my iPhone is in an otter box case. Instead of attaching the metal plate to the inside protective case, I just slipped the plate between the inside case and putter plastic covering. I did this so that if I had to remove the plate, I did not have to ruin the adhesive. The mount had no trouble holding my phone (in its case). I like that I can adjust it with just bending the neck and not have to detach my phone and reattach. When I need to remove the holder I just lift the button that helps hold the suction and it easily pops off. Very impressed with this item.

Ohuhu Color Changing Led Night Light Lamp Realistic Aurora Star Borealis Projector

My kids really enjoy Ohuhu color changing LED night lamp. We use this as a nightlight for the kids. They love how it lights up their ceiling with the different lights and patterns. What I like about it is how relaxed I get just watching the projection. When we do use it at night I do not have to worry about it being on all night or forget to shut it off because it thanks to the automatic shutoff/timer. Another think I liked about it was the ability to plug up my tablet or phone to include music. What I did not care for with this item is that in order to use it you have to be near a plug outlet. The light does not take batteries. I would like to be able to to use this light anywhere I want. The cord to plug it in a on the shorter Ned. So you need to be near an outlet. My opinion of this item is that it is an awesome product with a couple flaws that may need to be fixed. I received this item free/or at a discounted price in exchange for my honest opinion nest opionon. http://www.amazon.com/Ohuhu-Changing-Realistic-Borealis-Projector/dp/B0196FDH9U?ie=UTF8&ref_=cm_cr-mr-title
