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.
