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.
