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.
