Review of Snug Baby Monitor for Smartphones and Tablets with Free App

This monitor is a quality product and works very well! The directions for set up were very explanatory and easy to follow. I set it up with my Wi-Fi connection within minutes and completed the process through the app I downloaded to my Samsung S6 phone.

It works in day light as well as night. The infra-red feature kicks in when the lights go out. You can opt to record any segment of the video monitoring through the app. The phone app also allows you to control the position of the lens - you can pan up, down, or side-to-side. It has a substantial weight and has a very sturdy feel.

I received a promotional rate on the Snug Baby Monitor for Smartphones and Tablets in exchange for testing and review. I highly recommend this monitor for the safety and well being of your baby! It is quiet and unobtrusive - the light is the only thing that gives it away. It can be placed on a surface out of the way, and forgotten about unless you need to switch it to another location.

Review of Demyly Kitchen Tongs Stainless Steel with Silicone Tips Non-Toxic Food Grade Non-Slip Handles Wide Non-Scratch Clam Shell Head

This is an attractive, substantial set of tongs which pick up food and ice very well. What differentiates these from most that I've seen, is that they can be locked closed. This is a great feature because it is easier to store them in your drawer.

I received these Cheaponyo Demyly Kitchen Tongs (Stainless Steel with Silicone Tips Non-Toxic Food Grade Non-Slip Handles Wide Non-Scratch Clam Shell Head) at a promotional rate for testing and review. The silicone and clam shell shape help to pick up food and hold onto it. I highly recommend these tongs for their special features, functionality and scratch resistance.

Review of DEMLY Silicone Slotted Spatula Turner

This is a substantial spatula with a little weight to it. It fits with my red pots and pans pretty well. I really like the fact that this silicone spatula does not scratch my no-stick skillet.


I received this Silicone Slotted Spatula Turner Non-Scratch Food Grade Cooking Kitchen Accessory (Heat Resistant to 480F) at a promotional rate for testing and review. I recommend this kitchen tool for its functionality. Most pots and pans sold today are scratch resistant with some sort of coating that will scratch if you use the wrong utensils. This spatula is scratch resistant and will not melt up to 480F (that's certainly a great idea)! If you think this accessory is like the hard plastic utensils sold in the dollar stores, it's not. It is much better because it's made of silicone and is therefore not hard and scratchy.

Review of Simply Earth Peppermint Essential Oil

This is a quality product! I love the strong scent of peppermint essential oil and this brand is strong. I have tried several good brands and this one rates a 10 on a scale of 1-10. It works very well for headaches and just for a jolt of energy and "happy." I use it in my bucket along with my cleaner and it leaves the house smelling wonderful.

Peppermint keeps the spiders away. It's also supposed to deter mice - I don't have firsthand experience with this, however. Just make sure you get pure essential oil and don't fall for the peppermint fragrance (which is mixed with other ingredients).

This oil is therapeutic grade, which means that it has the ability to treat headaches, nausea, fever, respiratory and pain relief. It's great to use in cosmetic products, shampoo and lotion as well!

I love that Simply Earth gives 13% of purchases to help end human trafficking.

I received Peppermint Essential Oil by Simply Earth - 15 ml, 100% Pure Therapeutic Grade at a promotional rate in exchange for testing and review. I highly recommend this wonderful oil for therapeutic and aromatherapy purposes. I can't believe how low the price is for such a quality product!

Review of Virgin Coconut Oil Swish: Teeth Whitening & Oral Detox (8oz liquid)

My mouth feels clean and refreshed after using this coconut oil swish.  It has a pleasant wintergreen flavor and the oily texture is mild.  I read where a reviewer stated it had a peppermint taste and I did not get that at all.  I use peppermint essential oils all of the time, and it does not smell or taste like peppermint - it smells like wintergreen alcohol. I like that I only have to swish the liquid for 2-3 minutes versus the 20 minutes recommended if I use coconut oil only.  It's not until I spit it out that I can tell that the liquid contains coconut oil.

I had to place the bottle in hot water to melt the coconut oil that solidified around the top.  It didn't take long for the oil to melt and after shaking it, I  was able to use it within a few minutes.  This is perfectly normal because pure coconut oil turns solid unless your room is very warm.

The reason I took a star away is because of a combination of two things.  Firstly, the ingredients are not forthcoming.  The labels states the product contains coconut oil and oral antiseptic.  For someone who is watching their chemical use, this is a question mark.  Secondly, I'm not sure whether I should be using this product before or after I brush.  According to my research about oil pulling, I have learned to use coconut oil before brushing.  I just assume the same reasoning for using coconut oil applies - the coconut oil will remove toxins and the brushing is a continuation of that process.

I received this Virgin Coconut Oil Swish: Teeth Whitening & Oral Detox (8oz liquid) at a promotional rate in exchange for testing and review.  All-in-all I recommend it for breath freshening, oral detox and teeth whitening.

Review of Magikuchen Multipurpose 5 Sharp Blades Kitchen Shears with Cleaning Comb, Soft Touch Strong Handle

I love these herb scissors so much, I'm going to start growing my own herbs!  The scissors are nice and sturdy.  They feel great in my hand and snip vegetables in equal proportions. Using this kitchen tool takes much less work than mincing with a knife.  Some herbs are so fine that they are not so easy to cut unless you slide the knife across them.  This is not a problem with the herb scissors.

I received these Magikuchen Multipurpose 5 Sharp Blades Kitchen Shears with Cleaning Comb, Soft Touch Strong Handle at a promotional rate in exchange for testing and review.  I tested them on green onions first, as I figured they would work just fine on cilantro.  The blades are sharp enough to cut through the onion easily.  The comb that is included cleans any of the herbs that get stuck in the blades.

Even though these scissors are supposed to be dishwasher safe, I wash them by hand.  I also make sure they are dry before storing them away.

I highly recommend this handy tool for cutting your herbs and even some of your vegetables - most especially if you grow your own herbs!

Review of Zahler Magnesium Citrate, All Natural Supplement, Certified Kosher, 200mg, 60 Sold by: Apex Nutrition

I love the option of taking a mineral in capsule form, so I don't have to worry about an unpleasant taste - not that it's necessarily the case, but I just like the option. The capsules are a good size and easy to swallow. Magnesium is a very important mineral that, with our poor diets, quite often we are deficient in. What's important is what magnesium is paired with, which makes it easy to absorb or not. Citrate makes the magnesium easy for the body to absorb.

I received the Advanced Nutrition by Zahler Magnesium Citrate at a promotional rate in exchange for testing and review. I had an opportunity to test the capsules right before meals, twice a day as instructed, for two weeks. I get less stressed which, in itself, helps keep my blood pressure regulated. I also feel that it helps me with my focus and memory and I don't get the foot cramps that I used to. My body feels more energetic, as well, which all leads me to believe that I must have had some magnesium deficiency!

I highly recommend this Advanced Nutrition by Zahler Magnesium Citrate for it's health benefits and purity.

Great kitchen gadget for scraping dough and transferring vegetables!

I wanted this pastry scraper and chopper mainly to chop vegetables, since I only bake a couple of times a year. As a dough cutter and scraper, it's great; however, as a vegetable chopper, not so much; which is he only reason I took away a star.

I received the Sunsella Pastry Scraper at a promotional rate in exchange for my honest review. This scraper is designed with a thick stainless steel blade with a sharp edge and rubber ergonomic handle. The scraper arrived with a thin plastic edge protector.

It feels good in my hand and the shape and design offers great leverage when cutting and scraping dough. Although I didn't have much luck with chopping vegetables with it, the blade is perfect for mixing several vegetables together and for transferring them to a bowl or pan. I do feel like a professional chef while I'm using this neat kitchen gadget!

Review of Magnus Heavy Duty Double Edge Safety Razor - Long Handled

This razor is definitely heavy duty and very professional feeling. My husband was excited about it because it reminded him of the razors sold years ago. He's been using disposable razors for a while now and they just don't get the job done the same way.

I received the Magnus Heavy Duty Double Edge Safety Razor Long Handled at a promotional rate in exchange for testing and review. First of all, I really like the elegant packaging for the razor and it comes with 2 wrapped blades; that makes it a good candidate for gift giving. Secondly, the razor is very sturdy and has a good weight to it. My husband has used heavy duty razors in the past, so he was familiar with its use. As you already know, razor blades are pretty serious and can cause damage if you are careless. If this is your first time using a "real" razor, please use caution. Start your shave very tentatively, until you get a good feel for the razor as you pull it across your face. Also get a feel for the correct angle that maximizes the hair removal. My husband is happy with the quality of shave, while I enjoy the feel of his face using this double edge safety razor!

               

This camera strap is a must for action and water enthusiasts!

Well, this is a no-brainer. If you have a Go-Pro camera or if you like to take photos or videos of action near water, this wrist strap is a must for you!

I received this Virtuosoul LLC MuvePro Camera Strap at a promotional rate in exchange for my honest review. I recommend this strap for action enthusiasts and vacationers. The padded neoprene is soft and comfortable and fits securely around the wrist. I had to work with it in order to snap it on my medium-sized wrist, however, but maybe that's by design to make sure it stays secure in the water. It was still comfortable and did not feel too tight. Two camera lanyards are included, one is attached to the strap and one is separate.

The strap and camera float in the water, and that's less weight on the lanyard, but while on land, it still feels sturdy. The strap itself also feels sturdy and secure and I believe I will get a lot of use out of it.

This camera floating wrist strap will definitely become a staple item when I pack for vacation!

Review of Mamaway Postpartum Belly Band

First off, this is a very attractive, well-constructed belly band, with three closures, meant for postpartum mothers. I received the Mamaway Postpartum Belly Band at a promotional rate in exchange for testing and review. I recommend this particular band for the following reasons:

1. This band can be adjusted to fit as tightly as you can stand. It is recommended that you put it on while laying on your back. That way, your belly is in a flatter position so the band can work more effectively.
2. This band is very comfortable, being made of a soft ribbed fabric with 3 adjustable velcro bands. The two side bands can be placed directly across or diagonally across, depending on your area of concentration.
3. This band can be worn under or on top of your clothing because it is so comfortable.
4. This band is not bulky under your clothing.
5. This band can be used for new postpartum mothers, or any woman who wants to work on toning the abdominal area.
6. This band gives the feeling of having worked out (it's probably the massage action which gives sort of the same feeling as having done crunches) - try it and feel for yourself!

When worn consistently, along with a good diet and exercise, this band can accelerate toning, flattening and re-shaping of your belly and waistline.

Review of Sound Intone I66 2015 New Stereo Metal Earphones Noise Isolating Bass In-ear Headphones with Microphone (Brown)

The headphones are very stylish and good quality. If you want a set of inexpensive headphones with great sound, try these out.

I received these headphones on promotion to test and review. I love the bass sound these little headphones give out, and therefore, I highly recommend them! The cord mounted mic and multi function button allows you to switch between calls and music. The con, for me personally, is that these types of ear inserts just don't stay in my ears. There are interchangeable ear buds, but I still have a problem keeping them in. I took a clip from another pair of headphones and clipped the cord to my blouse. That helped some, because it decreases the weight of the cords which pulls the headphones out. The brown metal earphones are sharp looking too!

Review of Dog Waste Bag Dispenser To Clean And Pick Up After Your Pet - Includes 200 Paw-Printed Poop Bags (10 rolls)

People - NOW there are no excuses for being unprepared! Conveniently carry these doggie waste bags when you walk your dog. This is a box of 10 rolls or 200 bags plus a dispenser. The dispenser clips onto your belt loop or leash.

I received this order of bags at a promotional rate in exchange for "testing" and review, and I highly recommend them! They are small, convenient, stylish and, definitely, functional! The dog paws pictured on the bags are cute. I always take at least a couple of bags when I walk Ninja (pictured below). I keep some at the front door as well as the back. You can tear a few bags off of a roll and throw them in your pocket or carry the handy dispenser. I can't stand it when people walk their dogs without a way to pick up the waste, and leave it for others to have to step over (hopefully, not step in)! If you have dogs, this is such a small investment and stress-free way to have the ability to stay prepared.

Review of Hard Shell, Essential Oil Carrying Case, 8-Bottle - Convenient Travel Size - Rugged Design Protects Your Oils - Holds 5ml or 10ml Bottles (Passion Purple)

This is an attractive, functional travel case for your essential oils.

I received this case on promotion, for testing and review. I recommend it for anyone who uses essential oils. If you do, I bet you take at least a couple of bottles with you when you travel. The case is supposed to handle 6-15 ml bottles (tightly), but can fit 8 smaller bottles, such as 5 or 10 ml, which is the ideal size to transport in this case. I plan to mix a few of my own essential oils and will purchase smaller sized bottles. I find that 4 bottles of the 15ml size fit better, staggered, than 6. There are 4 elastic holders on each side of the case and the divider is padded. The case itself is a hard shell. All in all, it's a compact case that fits neatly into a purse or checked luggage (if you fly), and protects your investment of essential oils.
