Disposable Food Preparation Gloves Review



These disposable food preparation gloves are so convenient! I have a lot of allergies and super sensitive skin, and my dermatologist has advised me that I really need to try to wash/wet my hands less. Of course, I don't want to be less hygienic when it comes to preparing food for my family, so I decided to get these gloves and I'm so glad that I did! This is a great set of 500 gloves; they are very light and the large size fits everyone in our family comfortably. They are also BPA free, which makes me feel comfortable using these. You can wear the gloves on either hand and even use them for other tasks. I have to confess that I wanted to reserve these for cooking purposes only, but my mom has been using them when she dyes her hair at home and she's been raving about how perfect they are for that purpose. I'm letting her use them as they are so affordably priced. Overall, I’m very pleased with this product and know that we will continue using it.

Brewberry Premium Cordless Stainless Steel Electric Kettle Review





Our house is full of coffee and tea lovers, and we wanted to find an electric kettle like this one to replace the one we have been using as it leaks and hasn't been working well for some time now. I was very pleased to find this electric kettle as it's very well made and durable of stainless steel and looks very sleek in our kitchen or dining room. This kettle is entirely made of stainless steel; the only part that isn't completely stainless steel is the handle, which is very comfortable to grip or hold. The lid goes fits very securely, and we haven't experienced any leaks. This kettle boils water very quickly and I really like that it had the little window so you can see inside. Best of all, I love that this is so easy to use; you literally just have to flip the switch; the auto-shut off feature even saves you from having to wait around for the water to boil. We have also found that it is pretty easy to clean; we just followed the manufacturer's instructions. I think that this would also be great for traveling with as it is so light. Overall, I’m very pleased with this product and know that we will continue using it.

Mellanni Bedspread Coverlet Oversized 3-Piece Quilt Set Review



I have a number of medical conditions, several of which affect my sleep quality and energy levels. As a result, I am extremely picky about anything that is related to my body (or anything that touches my body) or related to my sleep. One of the only companies that I am consistently confident about purchasing from is Mellani. Most of their products are hypoallergenic and very easy to maintain. This coverlet set was no exception. It is hypoallergenic and wrinkle, fade, and stain resistant. The bedspread is also very light, which is a huge plus for me as I tend to have a lot of hot flashes at night. The stitching is very well done and it washes well too.

They were out of the spa blue sets, so I got the light gray and while I do like it, I think I am going to order another set in the spa blue as I think it will match the rest of our guest room decor better. Overall, I’m delighted to find this set and will continue using it!

Brown Leather Dog Collar with Weave Effect Review



I am very picky about the products that we use for my little fur babies; in particular, I am super picky when to comes to dog collars and leashes. Cheap collars can be very dangerous for your pet, so it's important to get a good one. This is a great, strong and sturdy brown leather dog collar. It is easy to put on or adjust, and it looks very nice and seems comfortable. The buckles seem sturdy too. This is a great collar that you can feel comfortable using for your dog. Overall, I am absolutely delighted with the quality of this collar and I highly recommend it.

AP-1213-Grey Mens Digital Watch Review




This is such a stylish and cool watch that is great for everyday use. We got a very similar watch from the same manufacturer for my husband and we wanted to get a similar one for my nephew. This watch has a nice sporty look and has imported digital electronic movement as well as lots of other cool features. It is accurate, comfortable, water-resistant, shock-resistant, and it has features like a calendar, alarm, stopwatch, and a nice backlight display. To top it all off, you can’t beat the price. The PU band is very comfortable and easy to adjust. Overall, I’m very pleased with this find and think it's a great buy. I highly recommend it!

iHateTheCold Rechargeable Mini Silver Hand Warmer Review


I really do hate the cold. Due to my medical conditions, I get hypersensitive to cold and my hands start freezing and changing colors when it's even slightly cold and even when I'm indoors. I wear at least 3 pairs of gloves when I go out, but it's hard to wear gloves at home all day, so you can imagine how excited I was to come across this very cool product. The iHatetheCold Rechargeable Hand Warmer has aluminum casing, which makes it light. It is also very compact and fits right in the palm of my hand, so it's great for commuting or traveling with. It has two options, High and Low; so far, the low has been sufficient for me. I have only had to use the High setting once. It only has one switch, so it's very easy to use. What I love most about this product is that it is multifuncational. Not only does it warm my hands, but it can also charge my phone and other devices! 

As I have written many times before, I can't function without a power bank. I am running around all day every day and often on my phone, so my cell phone runs out of battery all the time. I often find that I will run out of battery at key moments when I really need or want to use my phone. I have tried a lot of different power banks and this is very sleek and super compact. This charger works with both Apple and Android phones; I tried them with both and didn’t have any issues connecting them and the charges were pretty quick. It has a 4,400 mAh capacity, which is more than enough for me to charge my cellphone and Bluetooth earphones fully. Overall, I’m very pleased with this find and think it's an excellent buy.

Small Bluetooth Speaker Portable (Gold) Review




We love portable Bluetooth speakers. They are great to give as gifts and we also use them quite often ourselves. We travel quite a lot and we always bring our laptops and other devices to watch movies, etc. so I have long had an interest in travel/portable speakers that I can easily connect to my devices. I have reviewed quite a few of them, but I was surprisingly impressed by this speaker due to its amazingly small size. I was very pleased when I came across this speaker as it is so cute and compact, but upon receiving it, I was particularly impressed by the design and all of its functions. 

It was super easy to pair the speaker with my phones (Apple and Android) and laptop, which was a big plus. I was also impressed by the battery life (which isn't as long as I would normally like, but I'm willing to sacrifice that for the tiny size), volume and sound quality. It even has speakerphone and remote shutter functions that you can use with your cell phone. Overall, I really like this speaker and think that it's a great value. It would make an excellent gift idea for just about anyone.

Littlemade Diaper Bag Review



This is a very spacious and functional diaper bag that has plenty of pockets and comes with very handy accessories. I ordered this so that I could give it to a friend who is having her first child soon. It is so light and convenient to use! It has 7 pockets that you can use to easily organize things like wipes, creams, or toys. The main compartments have zippers, which I like as I don't have to worry about things falling out. The adjustable shoulder strap is padded and quite comfortable and the bag is super lightweight; it is also well made, sturdy and easy to clean. It looks very durable, which is something I was very happy about. I also really like that it includes a matching insulated bottle bag, purse, and changing pad, which will definitely come in handy. I never feel good about changing our kids' diapers on changing tables in public restrooms, so I'm very happy that this backpack comes with one. Overall, I’m totally satisfied with this product and highly recommend it.

Urinary Tract Infection Urine Test Strips 120ct, UTI Test Kit Review



I have written about this quite a few times on my old blog, but I have a lot of medical issues. I have problems with my hormones and immune system, so I get recurring infections, including a lot of UTI's. These strips make the process of confirming whether I have an active infection super easy and convenient. It is particularly helpful for me because until now, I would be fairly sure that I have a UTI but I would still need to schedule an appointment with my doctor to be sure. This is expensive and time-consuming, so I was hoping that there would be an easy way to test for these infections at home. I already know what to do for the infections and my doctor has prescribed enough of the creams and tablets for me to keep on hand, so all I needed was a test and this kit makes it so easy! There are 120 strips in the box and the bottle makes them easy to travel with or take to work. The tests read nitrates, leukocytes, and pH. You just need to put the strip in your urine for about 60 seconds and match the strip to the chart to figure out your levels. Overall, I found these strips to be very easy to use and carry. I highly recommend this product.

Wireless Outdoor Security Camera HD 720P Black Review




I have written about this in my reviews here before, but we have adding motion sensor lights around the perimeter of our property ever since my husband caught a crazy guy sleeping in the far corner of our backyard a year ago. While we have a few IP cameras inside the house (that look outside), we wanted a good outdoor security camera, and were pleased to find this one as it has a lot of cool features but is surprisingly affordable. This is a great waterproof outdoor camera that supports motion detection alarm, has good night vision, clear video, and a great app. I like that it is so easy to install; it is plug and play and the app is easy to use too. I also really like that you can add an SD card to use with it. We are using this camera by our front door and want to get another one for the back. Overall, I really like this product. It’s clearly well made and is priced very competitively. I highly recommend it.

Aocome Portable Mini Speaker Music Player with FM Radio (022 Blue) Review




This is a very sleek and compact mini speaker and FM radio. My dad loves listening to the radio and he wanted a nice wireless one that he could take out to the deck or use while he works in the garden or the backyard. This is a great lightweight radio that is easy to use and has a rechargeable Li-Ion battery that you charge using a USB cable. It also comes with a comfortable and secure hand strap. I also like that it reads TF cards too. The radio is easy to use and I was very impressed by the volume, bass and sound quality. Overall, I’m really impressed by the design and functions of this product and I highly recommend it!

Worlds Strongest Expandable Hose 25 ft Black Review



Expandable hoses are fantastic; they are so much lighter and last far longer than traditional garden hoses. They are also much more compact, which makes them easier to store. This particular hose is excellent because it expands to 25' and it is from a company that I am quite familiar with. We have tried a few of their longer expandable hoses and we have been quite pleased with them. My mom wanted a shorter one for her small vegetable garden and this one was perfect for her needs. It is light enough for my elderly parents to use without any issues and won't get tangled, which is one of my favorite aspects of using an expandable hose. The connectors seem to be quite well made too. It is very easy to use and I love the fact that it comes with a free holder. Overall, I think this hose is a good buy. It is very competitively priced and worth every penny; I highly recommend it for your home or for you to give as a gift.

Tastmate Best 2 Jar Dual Spices Grinder/Mill Salt and Pepper Shakers Review



We love putting fresh pepper on most of the dishes we make or eat, so I have been wanting a nice pepper mill like this one for a while. This is a great product because it is very well made and the sleek design looks nice in our kitchen or dining room. I like that it has the little window so that you can see how much is left or when to refill the mill. It grinds well; it is very easy and safe to use. It's also very easy to take apart or to clean. Overall, I think that this is a great and very useful product that is priced very affordably and I highly recommend it!

Raspberry Set of Microfiber Towels Review




I really like this set of microfiber towels. I have super thick hair (my family says that my pony tails are like horse or elephant's tails), and I try not to blow dry it all the time as that damages my hair. I am also a major germaphobe so I refuse to use the towels at hotels or gyms. These towels are great because they are antibacterial, hypoallergenic, super soft, and they feel really nice. The towels are all well made and looks like they will last me a long time.  The fabric is also very absorbent and it works to dry my hair or skin relatively quickly. I have taken my own towels with my on trips, but it doesn't always work out well as they don't always dry in time for me to bring them home and I can end up bringing smelly, gross and wet towels in my suitcase. These towels are perfect as they dry quickly and the lightness and smaller size make them great for travel. I also like that there are different sizes and each comes with a little pouch to hold them in. Overall, I'm quite pleased with this find; it looks and feels very luxurious and I highly recommend it!

Set of 2 Jar Openers Review




My mom has been suffering from Carpal Tunnel and arthritis in her hands; this has been bothering her more and more during the past few months. This has been particularly difficult for her as she is extremely active and loves to craft and cook. She has been having an especially difficult time opening jars and bottles, so I wanted to find her something that would alleviate this burden for her. I was very pleased when I found this set of two jar openers online. These colorful openers are very comfortable to use and effective. We tried them out on a number of different jars and they worked beautifully. These openers have a non slip grip and the grooves for your fingers keep them in place and easy to use. My mom is extremely pleased with these and is planning to give one to my grandmother. Overall, I think that this is a great and very useful product that is priced very affordably and I highly recommend it!

Tortuga Life Bath Bombs Gift Set with Bonus Bubble Bath Soap Review




I love taking hot baths at night; they help me relax and get a good night’s sleep, so I never hesitate to invest in products to make my "me-time" even better. I really like this set of  luxurious bath bombs as it includes a lot of really delicious-smelling bath bombs in a variety of great scents. My personal favorites are the "Inspiration" (jasmine with ylang ylang) and "Stiff Muscles" (ginger and lemongrass). The bombs are nice and large and handmade with essential oils. They smell great and help me relax when I am in the bath or before I go to bed. I love that they don't get messy or stain my tub (or worse, my skin - yes, both of these things have happened when I used cheap bath bombs in the past). I love that they are not made with any artificial colors or stains as I have super sensitive skin and these haven't irritated my skin at all. I was particularly impressed by the beautiful packaging; I felt like I was opening a present! The lavender bubble bath soap that is also included is a lovely touch too. Overall, I think that this is a great product that would make a great gift for yourself or for anyone else! I am treating this as my Valentine's Day gift to myself!

18" Onemore Black Birds on Branches Cotton Linen Square Throw Pillow Cover Review



I am a big sucker for pillows. I love having lots of pillows all over the place. My husband and I have ten pillows of different shapes and sizes on our bed and we have four on each couch. I was looking for new throw pillows as the ones we are using for the throw pillows on our sofa were getting rather shabby and I was super happy to find this one. It actually matches a Japanese painting we have in the living room pretty well. This seller's Amazon store has a lot of these in different patterns and I like the way that these look and feel; they are simple, classy, and great for warm weather. I love that they are 100% natural cotton linen blend as they keep our kids cool and doesn't irritate their super sensitive skin! These don't include the inserts, but I already have plenty of 18x18" throw pillows that just needed to be refreshed. I have already gotten a few more in different patterns (but similar color schemes) so that we have one on every seat on the leather sofas in our living room. Overall, I’m very pleased with this find and think it's a good buy.

Tactical LED Flashlight Kit (TK120) Review





Upon receiving this product, I was very impressed with the packaging and after we used it a few times, we found that we totally love this flashlight. It is made of very strong aluminum alloy; I don't have to constantly worry about dropping or breaking this. I love that you can choose between using the rechargeable Li-ion batteries that are included as a nice touch or three AAA batteries when you are in a pinch or can't recharge the Lithium Ion batteries. 

This flashlight has a nice weight to it, while also being very compact. The size is just right; it fits comfortably in my hand, yet it is impressively bright and effective. It has five light modes for you to choose from and it even has a zoom lens that my husband has been playing with all day. To top it all of, the flashlight and all of the accessories are beautifully packaged in a nice box, so this would make a great gift idea too. Overall, I’m very pleased with this product and know that we will continue using it!

Green Venture Toiletry Bag For Women Make-up Cosmetic Kit, Pink Review



I have written about this before, but I travel quite a lot for work and I am always on the lookout for cute new products that will make this process easier. I also have super sensitive skin and can't use most of the toiletries that are provided by hotels. I have used a lot of different types of toiletry bags, but after a couple of trips to less than stellar hotels, I wanted one that I could hang and not put down next to the sink or on a table, so I was eager to try this one out. This is a very nice and cute hanging toiletry bag. I had a similar bag that my husband is now using for his trips, so this one is perfect for me as I am a sucker for pink. I like that it has so many different compartments because I can keep things nicely organized. It has six see-through mesh and fabric pockets that I am using to hold all of my make-up and toiletries. I also like the design and the fact that it folds up as this makes it easier to travel with. The zippers are all well made and I think that this bag will last me quite a while. Overall, I am absolutely delighted with the quality of this toiletry bag and I highly recommend it.

INNX Stretchable Back Seat Dog Barrier Review



I can’t live without our canine baby and I am very picky about the products we use for him. One issue that we have had with our little fur baby is that whenever he is in the car, he wants to sit in the driver's lap, which is a safety concern. We have gotten pet booster seats and tried keeping him crated, but he screams so loudly that it is very distracting. That's why I was delighted when I came across this great back seat barrier. This great net barrier is super easy to install/take out (it has four clips that you hook onto the head rests and bottom of the seats and it took us all of one minute to put it up). It has a universal fit for most cars, SUV's or vans. It stretches nicely and you can even put things inside the net if you need the extra storage space. We tried it with our pup today and after one or two failed attempts, he gave up and stayed in his booster seat, so it does work! Overall, I’m very pleased with this find and highly recommend it.

Computer Readers Gaming Glasses For Kids & Adults Review




My husband and I are gaming fanatics; we love PC games and frequently invest in great gaming gear. Between work and my gaming hobby, I spend close to 16 hours a day in front of a computer screen and it has been wreaking havoc on my eyes. I have very dry eyes and my vision has gotten so bad that I am now forced to change the dosage on my prescription glasses at least twice a year. As a result, we decided to look into eye protection and I was delighted when I found these computer gaming glasses. These glasses are great; they are very lightweight and surprisingly comfortable. They are suitable for both children and adults, and you can use them with your computer (laptop or desktop), gaming consoles, or mobile devices. These safety glasses "help alleviate issues associated with digital eye strain, visual stress, artificial blue light, and fatigue." They are yellow tinted and took a short while to get used to, but my eyes were noticeably more comfortable once I got used to them. Overall, I really like this product. They are packaged in a nice case and come with a dust cloth, so I think this would make a nice (and beneficial) gift as well. I highly recommend this product!
