Air Purifying Bag All-Natural Bamboo

This deodorizer bag is made of 100% bamboo charcol that is supposed to last 2 years. It is supposed to help prevent excess moisture, mold, humidity and musty smells. Helps against allergens and bacteria and help odors. The bag is made from a burlap type material. To refresh the bag you just place outside for an hour.
I am currently trying this bag out in my my kids bathroom. For some reason it smells like metal or sulfur. I placed this bag on their bathroom counter. So far I have noticed a decrease in the smell. I love the design of this bag. It has a rustic look to it that works with the decor. I also love that it does not give off a scent to mask the odor you are trying to get rid of. I also do not have to worry about it getting moldy or stinking because of the moisture in the bathroom.
I am really surprised at how this bag has been working. I would recommend it to anyone looking to elimated odor with a natural product.

Soft Silker 100% Pure Mulberry Silk Pillowcase

The first thing I noticed when I took this pillow case out of the package was how soft it was. The pillow case I got was a queen size but my pillow is standard. No problem with the fit there. The pillow case is 100% mulberry silk with a zippered end. Silk is supposed to be s easier on your skin when sleeping and it says it can be anti-bacterial. It is machine washable but you may want to use the delicate settings. I love how the silk stays cool at night when sleeping so there is no hot spot on my pillow. Does not irritate my skin. I have to say I have now found my favorite pillow case. I received this item free or at a discounted price in exchange for my honest opinion.

Argan Oil Hair Mask


I was excited to try this hair mask out. I regularly highlight my hair and because of that my hair does get dried out and damaged.
The Aragon oil mask helps repair damaged, lifeless looking hair by deeply conditioning it. The mask also helps hair look soft and silky. After washing my hair using my regular shampoo, I applied this mask to my hair and left it in for 15 minutes. The frangrence of the mask is almost a flower type smell. I also noticed that the mask did not feel thick like other hair masks I have used. Once the 15 minutes were up I rinsed my hair. The product did not leave my hair oily feeling or leave the feeling like i just left the product in. I have used other hair masks in the past and was very happy with how my hair showed improvement in just one use. After using this I did note that my hair didn't feel as dryas it normally foes, but not as moisturized as I would have liked it to be. I'mmhoping with this hair mask, the more I use it the more improvement i will see over time. I received this item free or at a discounted price in exchange for my honest opinion.

Touch 5 Case - DefenderX IPod 5 Generation

The case is for an Apple iPod 5th generation. The case is blue and black. The inside of the case is a soft plastic while the outside is hard. There are cut outs for the camera, speakers and plug. It is very lightweight. I got it to give it to my daughter for her iPod after she dropped it and broke the screens. The iPod snapped right on into the case with no issues. There was not gaps noted between the case and iPod. What she likes about it is that on the back there is a stand you snap out so she can prop it up. She also likes the colors because they are not to girly. The case has really protected the iPod from any new cracked screens from dropping. My opinion overall is that I am very happy with this case. It a great product and I would recommend it to others. I received this item free or at a discounted price in exchange for my honest opinion.

USPRO® Wireless Bluetooth Game Controller Game Pad for Android/IOS/PC Platform, DOBE TI-465

I was given the chance to try out and review USPRO wireless Bluetooth game controller for android/IOS/Pac. For IOS systems, the controller mainly supports ¡°icade¡± games. The controller comes with instructions and cable for charging. The controller looks like a game controller for the PlayStation or Xbox. Every now and then I enjoy playing games on my phone or other electronic devices. First I had to pair the controller to my phone. The instructions that come with it tell you how to pair for android or IOS. Each system is paid differently then the other. It took me a few tries to get my phone to recognize it, but it was more to do with how I had to hold the home button and B button to pair. I tried playing temple run on my phone with it because it is the only game I could think of that would let me use a controller. It worked great!! Now the controller does have the attachment that holds your phone while playing. I took it off because it was more in the way then anything else. The problem I had with the controller is that I am used to the b button being jump. The x-y buttons at for jumping. I'm not sure if I the controller can be reconfigured or not. The instructions did not have anything in it to show it could be reconfigured. Another issue I had was that the box the controller came in said it was made for the iPad too (also android tablet PCs). I tried playing temple run on the iPad with the controller but it did not work. Not sure if it was the game or the tablet. Over all I was pretty pleased with the controller. It is going to come in handy with my kids when they want to play a game on my phone. I just wished I was able to get it to work on the iPad. I received this item free or at a discounted price in exchange for my honest opinion.

Tactical Balaclava Motorcycle Face Mask By GearTOP

I got my balaclava in black with green trim. The material is super roubaix. It is strong, 4 way stretch material, lightweight and breathable. Can be worn by itself or under a helmet.My husbands job requires him to be outdoors and right now it is cold outside.  I was excited to get this for him to try it ou. He brought this to work with him and has been wearing it ever since. It helps keep his face and head warm and protected against the wind. He likes that he can wear this in a number of different ways (face mask, balaclava, full face, neck tube or as a hat). He does not get overheated when wearing it. Easy to clean. I just throw it in the washer and dryer and it's good to go. I received this item free or at a discounted price in exchange for my honest opinion. 

Rescue Remedy Stress Reliever All-natural Relaxation And Sleep Serum

When I saw this I was curious. The paper they included with this bottle says it is non-addictive and easy to use. Rescue remedy Bach flower-39 is an all natural relaxation and stress reducer that is made from flower essences. It claims to have no side effects or interact with medications. It is safe for pets and kids to take.
I took it like it was recommended on the bottle. You can do 3-5 drops (using the dropper it comes with) in 1/4 cup water.  I did 5 drops.
Upon opening the bottle I noticed the scent. To me it smelled like beer, which is a smell I really do not care for. My husband said it smelled like tequila. The liquid even had the same color as beer. Surprisingly I could not taste anything when I drank it though. After awhile I did notice that I seemed more relaxed. I did not notice a change in how I slept (I used it for 3 nights) I am not sure if that is something that improves the longer you use this product.
I went on Amazon to see if it said anything about there possibly being alcohol in it (the smell had me curious). I did see under some of the questions people have asked about the ingredients. Person responded that there are different flowers (star of Bethlehem, cherry plum, rock rose and clematis) and that its preserved in brandy. This is the only thing I found that mentioned anything like this and I don't know how true it can be. So my opinion is that I would not give this to my child or pet until I was 100% sure there was no alcohol in it. I received this item free or at a discounted price in exchange for my honest opinion.

OZ NATURALS ULTRA AGELESS EYE CREME

I have been given the opportunity to try OZ NATURAL ultra ageless eye creme from brandbacker. Because I suffer from insomnia, I also suffer from the puffy eyes that come with it. I have notice since using this product that the puffiness has started to become less noticeable. Another plus I have also noticed is that the dark circles are a little lighter. My skin around my eyes has also become softer and smoother. I don't look nearly as tired as I normally do using this stuff. Does not leave my skin feeling greasy or dried out. Cleans easy off my hands with water. The directions on the box say you can also use this as an all over face treatment. It does say to use morning and night. Can also be worn under makeup.
The OZ NATURAL eye cream contains a peptide called Matrixyl synthe'6 that helps even and smooth skin. Astaxanthin (also known as super vitamin E because it is 500 times more powerful then regular vitamin E) is another ingredient in the creme that is an antioxidant that is an anti-inflammatory. Algae extract is another ingredient. Algae has many benefits for the skin. It helps hydrate and protect skin and prevents wrinkles. Carrot Root Extract helps with the anti-aging of the skin and can help reduce the appearance of stretch marks and scarring. I am hoping that it will reduce the appearance of acne scars. My hope is that the longer I use this product, the more improvement I will see in my skin. So far I am very happy with the results.

Silicone Glass Bottle

This is a pretty nice bottle by My Silicone Glass Bottle. The silicone only comes up half way on the bottle and the handle is also silicone. The lid is plastic and the bottle of course is glass.
The glass is supposed to offer a healthier way to drink. The bottle holds 500ml of liquid. Easy to clean and dishwasher safe. The opening of the bottle is open mouthed. Lid is leak free. I like the sleek desgin and the color of the silicone. My only concern with this bottle is that it is glass. So far I have not dropped it so I really cannot say how sturdy it is. The handle makes it easy to carry. I have been able to put cold and hot liquid in it. I like too that I can see how low I am getting using it. I would recommend this item to friends. I recieved this item free or at a discounted price in exchange for my honest opinion.

Itlog Boiled Egg Timer, Red

I love to make hard boiled eggs. But I will admit, I never get the timing of when they are done right. I have done what my mom always said, once they start to boil, let them boil for 10 minutes. Well sometimes that is not long enough and then I am stuck with partially hard boiled eggs. This egg times has been a blessing. The egg timer senses heat instead of using time. I just simply throw this in the pot with the eggs. The red color on the egg shrinks to show indication of the cook level the yolk in the egg isl Now I am not having to guess when they are done. When I am done using this, I just wash it in the sink with soap and water and let air dry. I highly recommend this to those that like to make hard boiled eggs but have the same issue with cooking like I did. I received this item free or at a discounted price in exchange for my honest opinion. 

PowerDriver 8 X 1100mAh AAA Rechargeable NiMH Ni-MH Batteries

I was given the opportunity to review the PowerDriver AAA batteries. My kids have a ton of toys and we have electronics that require triple A batteries. Of course when we need to get new ones, we never have any in the house. With these, we are no longer having to hunt or run out. Onc the batteries start to lose their juice, we just pop them in the charger and get a new set. Not only do we have them always on hand, but we are saving some money. Depending on what they are being used for determines the life of a battery charge. You will need to get a battery charger if you do not have one.  We are now not to far behind on getting double As. Honestly, I am very pleased with this product and would recommend it. I received this item free or at a discounted price in exchange for my honest opinion.

StorageManiac Durable White Laundry Mesh Wash Bags for Delicates

This review is on the white mesh wash bags for delicate clothing. It came as a pack of 7 bags, 2 large, 2 medium, 2 small and 1 for hosiery. The bags do have plastic zippers at the top, and they held up fine in the washer.  I have used the smaller ones for some of my delicates and they worked great. I did not put the bags I the dryer because I feel that may mess the mesh of the bags. Another great use for these has been for my husbands scuba gear. He packs all his suits and fins in them and because of the breathable mesh, it helps air out the suits and let's them dry. I plan on using theses on our next cruise to store dirty laundry in them for washing. I am sure there are hundreds of other uses I will be able to find for them.

HAVIT HV-KB215BT Ultra-slim US LAYOUT Bluetooth 3.0 Wireless Keyboard for iPad Air, 7

This is my first Bluetooth keyboard I have ever tried for my iPad. I am loving it!!! I no longer have to use the on screen keyboard. The keyboard it lightweight and thin like the iPad Air tablets. to connect my iPad to the keyboard, all I did was slide it into the hinge and opened it up. The hinge has magnets in it to wake my iPad up when opened. Connecting it was simple thanks to the Bluetooth. The keyboard has blacklighting to it and you have 7 different colors to choose from. Plus you can control the brightness of the backlight. There are special function keys that can be used at the top of the keyboard. You can also control music and volume on it as well. The keyboard also comes with the charging cord and some pads to stick on the bottom to help control it from sliding on surfaces. To disconnect the keyboard, I just shut the lid/tablet and pull it out. There is a power button in the side of the keyboard. There is also a pair button the side as well. I would defiantly recommend this keyboard to friends that are in the market for one. I recieved this item free or a a discounted price in exchange for my honest opinion.

PWOW S720 Earphone Earbuds Headphones with Microphone

So far these are now my favorite headphones. They are like the ear phones that come with the new iPhones. These sit very comfortably in my ears and do cause any discomfort. I can control the volume with the volume control on the cord. I can also pause/forward/rewind music as well. These also allow you to talk on your phone just like other earphones. There is also a clip so you can attach it to your shirt. Comes with an additional plug making it a universal set. There is also a fish shaped thing that comes with them and it took me a sec to figure out what it was. It is used to wrap your earphones to keep them from tangling. If you like the earphones that come with apple products, these I would recommend. I will say that the downside to these is the price. I received this item free or at a discounted price in exchange for much honest opinion.

KUMALL Universal cell phone car mount



Universal car mount that attaches to most car vents. It did take me a few minutes to try and figure out how to attach it. You pull back the spring loaded arms on the back and while holding them place into your vent and release and it holds it right in place. The part that holds your phone is connected to the part that attaches to your vent. It is easily removable. There is a adjustable ball joint so you can angle your phone to your comfort. To load the phone into the holder, you press the button on the back and the arms come out. Place your phone in the holder and squeeze the arms to hold the phone. On the back of the holder is a rubber pad that helps secure your phone too. When using the car mount I do have my phone sideways/horizontal in it so it won't slide out. It does hold my phone in place vertically but after a few big bumps it came out. I received this item free our at a discounted price in exchange for my honest opinion.

Mpow Portable Bluetooth Receiver

This is the Mpow streambot mini Bluetooth music receiver. The music receiver came with USB charging cord, and two 3.5mm adapters, one is a long cord and one is the shorter connector as seen in the picture. I was able to connect this device to both my iPhone and iPad within seconds. I enjoy listening to the music I have on my iPad in my car but would have to connect the iPad to the car with 3.5mm cord. When I wanted to go to the next song, I would have to go through my iPad to to do it. With this device I was able to pause, play, rewind and go forward to the song with a click of the button. I didn't have to wake my devices from sleep mode and do it on the screen. The sound produced was clear. The battery lasts a long time. I went 6 hours on one charge and it was still going strong (I had gotten to my destination). Charging it to its full capacity takes around and hour and a half. The instructions did say I could answer incoming calls in my phone through the device. Unfortunately it did not work in my case. I tried following the instructions and other ways but I could not answer my phone through it. I was not able to hear people talk and they could not hear me. It could have maybe been due to the make and model of my car (Toyota Camry 2009) but I am really not sure. Overall I am pleased with this product. Makes listening to my music a lot easier. I received this item free or at a discounted price in exchange for my honest opinion.

Ozeri Deluxe Milk Frother and Whisk in Stainless Steel with Stand and 4-Frothing Attachments

This is a stainless steal milk frother from Ozeri. The frother is battery operated and did come with the batteries. It cane be used to create foam for hot chocolate or fancy coffee drinks in seconds. There are three additional attachments that come with it. It comes with another milk frothing whisk, egg beater and cocktail mixer. The frother also comes with a stainless steel stand. The frother does not heat the milk which is kind of a bummer but not a big problem for me. I like that it comes with the whisk and egg beater. I use the egg beater to make scramble eggs for one of the kids. The whisk has come in handy when I make gravy. It's easy to control. Easy to clean the attachments after use. I have not put them in a dishwasher but have been washing by hand. So I will say I am not sure ho it handles the dishwasher. The stainless steel stand makes it easy to store and looks great with my kitchen decor. So far is am happy with the frother. It is a great addition for the kitchen for those that like to spruce up their coffee drinks. I received this item free or at a discounted price in exchange for my honest opinion.

grinderPUNCH Men's Metal Frame Aviator Sunglasses HD Yellow Lens High Contrast

Sunglasses with metal frames, plastic, non-polarized lenses that are yellow. They are light weight. Lenses are huge, which I like. My opinion is that they are more for looks and fashion. Not really worth the price. They really do not block much sunlight for me. When I wear them, of course everything has a yellow tint because of the shade color. The glasses cam with a carrying pouch. I received this it men free or at a discounted price in exchange for my honest opinion.

Ultra Plumping Hydration Mask By Valentia #ValentiaUltraPlumpingHydrationMask



The mask offers intense hydration, giving skin a glowing complexion and helps aging appearance of skin. The plumping helps firm the skin. The  box and jar are very eye catching with white and gold trim. When I opened the jar, the mask has the appearance of jelly.  The fragrance is different. It has almost a flowery, mint smell. It almost reminds me of the smell of the big league bubble gum. Per instructions, I applied the product to my face and left it on for about 20 minutes. Instructions say you can leave it on 15-30 minutes. After I put this on my face, it gave it a cool feeling. When I was done, I washed it off. I did not have a dried out feeling like I experience with some masks. My skin did feel a little smoother. I did not experience any irritation to my skin. The box did say I may experience some tingling, but I did not. So far I am pretty happy with it and will continue to use it.

Stainless Steel Salt and Pepper Grinder Set #KitchenCookerysSaltNPepperGrinder


This is a set of stainless steel salt and pepper grinders with glass bottoms. The sealing lids keeps spices fresh. To dispense pepper or salt you just twist the tops. You do have to turn it upside down when grinding but that's not a problem in my opinion. I have always wanted a set of salt/pepper grinders because to me, grind spices makes food taste batter. I love the desgin of the set and it looks good with my kitchen decor. Easy to clean and store. I like the lid that comes with it so I don't have to worry about spices spilling out and making a mess. I am very satisfied with this product. I received this item free or at a discounted price in exchange for my honest opinion.

Woods 50030 Indoor Countdown Timer Outlet


I want to start off by saying HAPPY NEW YEAR!! 
We bought two of these items for our kids two wheel scooters. With all the recalls and warning about those scooters blowing up when charging, we did not want to take any chances. We have these two programed to charge for only two hours and then shut off. We have not had any problems at this point when it come time for it to turn itself off. The light indicator on it also lets us know when it is charging and when it is off. Very happy with this product.
