Tiger Eye Bracelet

I love how simple yet beautiful this Tiger Eye bracelet looks. I can pair it with pretty much whatever I’m wearing, from just jeans to a business casual without looking awkward. The bracelet has an elastic cord that holds 7 mm black onyx beads, and one Tiger Eye bead together. It is a unisex bracelet and since it has an elastic band it fits perfectly and it is easy to place on a wrist. Tiger Eye always reminds me of patience, abundance and protection, so I find this bracelet calming. I find this bracelet to be stunning, its simplicity adds to its beauty. I would recommend to others, even if you don’t believe in the mystical realm of the Tiger Eye, it is still can be a fun bracelet to wear. I wore it during the weekend and received various complements about its look, I’m beyond impressed.

AFUNTA Fitbit Flex USB Chargers, 2 pk


These AFUNTA Fitbit Flex USB chargers are very convenient to have. My original Flex charger is always by the night table, I don’t like moving it from there because it is my reminder to charge it. Now, I have 3 chargers, one I keep in the bathroom as it is the only other place I will remove my band at; And the third one I keep in my purse for just in case situations. It might sound extreme but with calorie counting combined with the activity tracker I have been able to lose 60 pounds, so I might be codependent on my Flex.

All together, these chargers look exactly as the original one, work the same way, and produce the same result when it comes to charging the Flex. It does not have a reset button like the original but I have been lucky and have never had to use the option even on my original charger. I like the convenience of having these extra chargers available but keep in mind I don’t relay on them 100% as my main and original charger still works perfectly. I use the one I have place in the bathroom while showering because I want to take advantage of time since I’m always wearing my Flex. I rate it at a 5 because it works as advertise for my own purposes, and because comparing AFUNTA’s pricing to other non original brand chargers at my local big box store it is a better deal. I don’t think these chargers are to replace completely the original one but to complement it because of the lack of the reset button. As long as you have access to a charger with the reset button in case its needed at some point, I would recommend these chargers.

Mandalas Adult Coloring Book

This is such a beautiful adult coloring book. I always associate Mandalas with peace and calm, so it being a stress relieving book is perfect. The Mandalas adult coloring book has 48 single sided unique designs with detachable pages. The book lays flat making it easy towards everyone but especially for left-handers which have not many options. My left-handed son loves the book because its “easy” for him; Usually he has to rotate the whole book in order to find a comfortable way for coloring. The book also comes with a CD that has music and nature sounds which I love because it makes relaxing happen quicker. I usually color a bit and walk away, days later come back and do a bit more but with this book I want to finish the Mandalas in one sitting even if it takes several hours. Coloring for me is like therapy, and I have been doing so for many years even before the adult coloring book craze because its the only way that I know that my brain will take a break from thinking and over thinking.

Overall, I love all the Mandala designs. I love shutting everything off and just taking my time coloring. There is no right way or wrong way its just self expression and creativity. I would recommend it to others because its a great way to immerse yourself and let all the worries go away. I will be sad when I finish them all.

Tuff Viking Organizer

I have been organizing our car little by little. I started with the back seat chaos of crackers and toys which has been a success. I didn’t wanted for the chaos just to move to the trunk, and now I have the mediums to prevent that. Somehow if everything has a place, then the unorganizable is kept to a minimal around our house. I never really pay attention to the actual dimensions of things I buy, sometimes that decision blows back at me but there I often has more good outcomes then, “Oops!” Moments.

The Tuff Viking collapsible car and truck organizer is pretty spacious, and I will check it under my list of successful acquisitions after neglecting to check the sizing. At 23 x 14.5 x 12.5 inches it has all the space we need to keep out car’s trunk in check at all times. It has pockets all over, to be exact 3 interior compartments, 2 pockets at each end, 8 convenient smaller side pockets, and 1 pocket in the inside. It has a removable dividers which allows me to change the capacity of the pockets as needed. That is a huge pro, I don’t have to adjust our needs to it as I can change it around for it to adjust to ours. I selected red as the color of our Tuff Viking, it’s a bright red which reminds us to use it. Last night I place a grocery bag in the back of the car and as I was hoping for it not to fall during transit, I couldn’t help but notice the organizer there. I attribute that to its color as it was collapsed. And not my favorite part, like I just mentioned, it collapses completely. So it should be effortless to reclaim the trunk whenever we need that extra space, it pretty much collapses a few inches from being flat. I can place it under the base board of out Outlander’s back without any problems for storage. It has straps at each side with plastic buckles to make sure it stays collapse. The whole organizer is constructed using Polyester. Its interior is waterproof which I really like as we have had to deal with cleaning the trunk due to juice spillage before and I was not easy nor fun. Finally, the interior bottom pretty solid, and its exterior one is skid resistant preventing the whole organizer to move as we drive.

Overall, there is nothing not to love about the Tuff Viking, it is well made with high quality materials that look promising when thinking of the longevity of the organizer. It seems it was designed thinking of what we need, and not just what we want. At first all those pockets outside made me doubt, but after putting the organizer to use, I appreciate the accessibility it provides. In our house, we even love its name, and the only thing we wish was different was if it was available in purple. Yes, we are in Vikings land. I would recommend this organizer to anyone because of its quality and versatility because it doesn’t necessarily needs to be used in the back of the car. I can see it being a caddy organizer for kids activities, toys, a closet or the garage. Definitely a 5 stars rating because its beyond what I expected.

Fitness Master Exercise Ball

I got this exercise ball by Fitness Master for my husband, I have my own exercise ball which I use as part of my physical therapy at home to stretch my back. He wanted to have one he could use while he worked from home, and keep downstairs close to his office. He works on the computer the whole day, and sometimes just steps away to decompressed, so having the ball close by allows him to do some stretches with it, as well as he can use it to sit on it to improve his balance.

The exercise ball I picked is 65 centimeters which is perfect for his height (5’8”). It provides anti slip protection due to the high quality material used. It is dark gray in color, and looks perfect, just like the ones you see and use at the gym or at therapy. It comes with an air pump to inflate it but my husband prefers to use an electrical pump. Once the ball is inflated is very firm and keeps the air perfectly. Due to my previous experience with exercise balls, you must be aware, that the ball will expand and with use some air will be loss. At 65 cm even I can use it as a balance ball to sit on, I’m 5’5 and It gets me up to my desk without any issues.

Overall, this exercise ball is great for exercising, balancing and stretching. It is well made with quality components. There is nothing we would change about it, as it works perfectly for our needs.

Weekender Bag

Let me just say that I’m beyond impressed by this bag. I’m not a measurements person so when I read that is 20 x 8 x 9 inches, my reaction was, “Seems like a good size.” and I then moved on into other details. This time it wasn’t any different, so when it was delivered I was completely surprise by how big the Weekender Bag is, happily surprised! We just moved to this side of the country, and everything is so different from where we used to lived; So whenever is available we take the chance to do small trips around the state to explore it. It’s only 3 of us, but somehow we always end up with multiple bags that seems like we are staying for 2 weeks instead of a weekend. We needed a solution.

The Weekender Bag by TheSnugg is roomy, and it seems to only get bigger as I pack it. It is made out of high quality PU (Bycast Leather) Leather. It has 3 interior pockets which are perfect for smaller items like toiletries or jewelry; One of the pockets has a zipper, the other 2 are on each side of the bag and are made out of black fabric. It has a strap for convenience that can be removed if desired. It has 5 stubs at the bottom that prevent the bag itself from touching the floor; It also has a semi hard cushioned bottom. The bag also has 2 strong handles, one at each side for carrying (those are not removable). In the inside it has a red lining material that simply makes the bag look beautiful; Yes, I believe that the Weekender’s inside is a beauty that needs to be mentioned. As closure it has one large zipper with two pulls which allows the them to meet at the center (I find that secure, as when the zipper is at one side anyone can open it in a crowded place without the holder noticing) or at any place of the zipper.

Overall, the Weekender bag is as advertised. It is stylish, of quality, and practical. The bag is versatile, and incredibly convenient. It certainty meets the needs of my family, and accomplishes what I wanted when I ordered it; I can pack clothes for 2 adults, and a toddler for a weekend without any issues, and still I have space for more. Because of all those reasons, I rate this bag at 5 stars. I will update my rating is any issues arise. At this moment, I would recommend it to others as I feel very confident about it.

Marimo Moss Balls

So our toddler is fascinated by fish tanks but with 2 cats and a dog, we have enough responsibility. When I came across these 6 Marimo moss balls, the idea of a pet plant in water quickly rise. He has no idea that his tiny moss balls are going to be growing right in front of his eyes. We have place it in his room so it’s “his” responsibility to look after it. The moss balls are also an excellent teaching resource, and as a homeschooling household we appreciate every opportunity to do so. I’m sure that eventually my son will have his fish tank but until then he can take care of his little green friends. We are no experts but we love the excitement in our son’s eyes, and how cute the Marimo moss balls look in his room. Based on “happy child, happy parents” and that the balls look as described we give it a 5 stars.

Ultimate Ombre Hair by HairChalk

I have thick natural black hair, and it has always been a challenge for it to hold any type of color. I have resolved into using other mediums to be able to “fun it up” which is the reason why I decided to try this chalk coloring technique. If you have black hair it will be a challenge to make it very visible and no matter how you do it, it won’t look like those bright fun colors from lighter hair colors. The lighter your hair the better the results. The process is very messy, and that is why it includes the plastic protective gear. Even with thar protection, be aware there will be chalk everywhere around you while you are doing the process. I will try it again but I will wait until the weather allows me to do it outside the house.

The colors of the chalk are beautiful, it has 12 different shades that are gradients so if you want to get that mermaid effect of 2 or more colors, you won’t need extra chalk. The chalk stick itself will last for a while depending on how much you want to change your hair. I only did one string and that was about 25% of one stick. They way that works a bit for me was wetting the chalk stick and rubbing it on my hair making sure to only do the rubbing downwards. After I finished with the chalk, I applied a bit of hairspray, and then used the straightening iron for its heat to seal in the color, and added a bit more spray at the end. It lasted on my hair for about 12 hours, and it did got on my shirt, not much but it did. It comes with easy to follow instructions but I advise some research if you have dark hair. I can’t forget to mention that it also comes with a cute little handwritten note which gives it a personal touch that I appreciate.

Overall, if you have light hair go ahead and have fun with this product. If you have dark hair be prepare to do a bit of extra work, and have realistic expectations of the outcome because it will not look as the model’s hair for obvious reasons. I have tried it once, and even after the challenge of my black hair, it was fun to see the reaction of others when they noticed my “teal” color piece of hair. I want to try again, but like I mentioned I want it to be outside because there was chalk everywhere in the bathroom during my first try. Oh, and be aware that the product ships from overseas so do not expect it to be at your doorstep right away.

Colore Electric Pencil Sharpener

Time has sure change! This Colore Electric Pencil Sharper might look like those old school sharpener but it is not, it can be powered via USB which makes 100% portable. I do adult books coloring as a way of relaxation; I usually take the books and colored pencils with me if we go out for leisure, and it is beyond frustrating to need a color pencil that might need some sharpening and have nothing to sharpen it with. I know I could easily have a small manual sharpener but somehow I don’t feel the pencils get the right treatment with those, and I have to admit that I’m a pro at losing those because of their compact size. This electric sharpener I have been keeping with in my bag of pencils, and books. I don’t really have a set place to do my coloring, so if I want to move from the desk to the couch to the bedroom, I grab my bag and go, knowing that anything I need will be in there. I’m always near an electrical outlet or a computer so this sharpener is perfect for my organized way of coloring.

The Colore Electric Pencil Sharpener is USB powered as I have mentioned already, making it very convenient and completely portable. It can even be used with batteries (4 AA, not included), I haven’t tried it yet with batteries as UBS and electrical outlets are always available for me. Oh, and don’t worry unlike those old school electric sharpeners this one is lightweight. It has an auto safety lock that prevents its use when the shavings tray is removed which I find to be one of the best features of this sharpener as I have a curious little boy. It is also easy to clean as the whole tray can be removed. The sharpening blade can be replaced when dull, and it even comes with an extra one for when that times comes.

Overall, this is a high quality compact electric pencil sharpener. It is easy to use, and maintain. I love the sharpness that it allows me to get for my drawing and colored pencils. It is 100% portable for the on the go needs. It has several ways to be powered which is a great convenience for a device like this. I would recommended to others because it’s pretty handy. I give it 5 stars for working as advertised, convenience, and awesomeness.

Paper Flowers Garland Hairband, 9 pack (Hair Accessories)

I fell in love with the photo of these beautiful paper flowers headbands, and immediately thought about using it as props for my photography business. But once the bands arrived, I knew I had to keep at least one or two for my persona l use. I kept the purple and the pink headbands, and to be honest I’m seriously thinking of keeping the yellow as well. There are 9 different colors, and if I keep thinking about it I will end up keeping them all.

Each headband has 5 paper flowers glued to it, and a vine with leafs that intertwines from one end to the other. Be aware, there was excess of glue in half of my bands, but nothing I couldn’t remove and trim. Also some of the paper flowers were almost crushed, I tried but there seems to be no way to make them look non squished but unless you are extra picky, it will be completely fine. I have to pay attention to those details because I want my clients to have absolutely the best, and it would save me editing time. The colors are fun, vibrant, and cute. I can see younger girls being able to wear this headbands in a daily basis. In the other hand, I will be wearing mine for special occasions as it seems too ‘look at me”, and that is not my personality. There are 9 bands (baby pink, pink, baby blue, blue, yellow, white, purple and red.

Overall, these Gellwhu’s headbands are adorable, very girly, and stylish. It provides 9 colors with endless possibilities when it comes to pairing with clothes. The headbands wont move once you place them, at least that is my case. I would recommend it to others because the variety of the pack is difficult to find together at this price. Even with its imperfections, this set looks great.

VicTsing Mini Essential Oil Diffuser

We recently began using essential oils and diffusers. My toddler loves to stare at the diffusers as it seems to relax him to the point of falling asleep. As an insomniac, his sleep is something that I cherish and nourish. With that in mind, we placed a diffuser in his bedroom; It has facilitated easier nap and sleep times. But our diffusers were just too bright for his bedroom. I decided to search for a smaller diffuser

VicTsing’s Mini Electric Aromatherapy Essential Oil Diffuser was exactly what I was searching for. Its wood look goes perfectly with my son’s bedroom set, and the diffusers smaller light display area was perfect for his room. The LED has a 7 color rotation which compared to other diffuser its a smaller. The light emitted by this diffuser is comparable to a bright night-light. The dispenser of the diffuser is 140ML, and it automatically shuts off. There isn’t any beeping noises when setting, selecting, or when shutting off which is a plus since it is located in his bedroom.

Overall, this diffuser is exactly what we needed for his bedroom. It offers all the perks of a diffuser but with a smaller LED light display that won’t distract our son but will relax him just enough to fall asleep faster. That combine with the automatic shut off, and no annoying beeps makes it perfect for a child’s bedroom. For our purposes, this diffuser gets a 5 stars rating.

Froggy Tots Thermometer

Cuteness overload, that is how I can describe this Froggy Tots Digital Thermometer. My son does not like to have his temperature taken, so even when he is not sick if he sees the thermometer he reminds us that he does not need to be checked. In order to get his temperature we had to rely on a thermometer strip. When the Froggy thermometer arrived he saw it and asked what it was, and if it was for him. When I said what it was he looked puzzled but surprised me by asking if we could try it.

The Froggy Tots thermometer is FDA approved. It requires a battery which it is included, and it also comes with a clear cover to protect its tip. The thermometer is quite fast, in less than 30 seconds it provides the reading, and It has a soft flexible tip for comfort. It will also beep once it has the reading. Temperatures can be obtain via different places like any other thermometer. It can read Fahrenheits and Celsius, to change the measurements just hold the button. Froggy Tots has a memory recall that keeps a log, and a fever alarm. It is waterproof, and has auto shut off to preserve its battery’s life. To clean, just wiped with a dampened cloth or rinse with warm water and mild detergent.

Overall, the Froggy Tots thermometer by Warrant Guard looks adorable, it comes ready to be used. It captures the attention of my son, as well as his curiosity. Provides fast and accurate readings. Oh, and it’s easy to clean. I wouldn’t change anything about this thermometer because of that, and because it works as advertised I give it a 5 stars.

Shvigel's US Passport Holder

Shvigel’s Passport Holder is beautiful, and elegant. It is 100% Leather, and if you know the smell of genuine leather you will smell it even before removing the holder from its bag. A Passport fits in it perfectly; it also has four spaces for carrying credit cards or your identifications; And it also has a hidden pocket behind the cards area. It has space for the essential documents and cards that are handy while traveling.

The Passport Holder has the US Seal embossed on the front of it with very intricate details. It also comes with a nice little bonus, a leather keychain that matches the wallet’s Leather color. Photos do not make justice at how gorgeous this Passport Holder is. My husband absolutely loves it. We have no complaints about it.

Chef Essential Cupcake Carrier

Every mom out there needs this carrier in their kitchen, and it their lives! It is quite versatile, and easy to work. This carrier is made out of hard transparent plastic making it very sturdy. It has a handle at the top, and latches at the sides for stacking, and securing the tiers. It is ideally made to carry 24 cupcakes, or 2 cakes, or 12 cupcakes and 1 cake; To be honest, you can combine it any way that you might need it to be.
Its transparent plastic allows visibility of the goods inside the container at all times, which to me, brings great peace of mind. It is big enough, 14 width x 10.4 height x 7.4 inches, to carry large size bake goods. It is perfect for transporting cupcakes and cakes, but it is also does a good job keeping the freshness of the baked goods simply as a storage on a counter. It doesn’t necessarily has to be cupcakes or cakes, this carrier can handle many other things. The first time we used it was to store home made rolls that we had just baked. It did great at keeping the rolls soft for various days.

Another neat thing about this carrier is that the white trays have handles and are removable. The trays also have assigned spaces for the cupcakes which is great because it keeps them in place and prevents them from touching. But if you are carrying a cake, you can simply turn the white tray upside down to make it a flat surface. Don’t worry, as the tray handles will fold anyway you need it. Those trays are also great for serving, either just sitting at a table or to be offered (walking around).

The options and uses of Chef Essential cupcake carrier are only limited to its users mind and abilities. So, please do not allow the name of the product to limit the capabilities of it in your kitchen. I definitively give it a 5 stars; I would give it many more if I could because it surpasses what it is advertised for.

MICHLEYTOYS’ Captain America Mask

This Captain America mask has been a colossal hit in our household. My 3 year old loves it! He has not stopped running around the house making super hero poses. He loves to dress up but doesn’t usually wear anything that will go over his face but apparently this mask is comfortable enough that after trying it on he decided to keep it on afterwards. Its been days, and whenever we expect it the least, our Captain America shows up, jumping, and striking poses like only he could.

MICHLEYTOYS’ Captain America mask is made out of hard plastic, and has elastic straps on the back to hold it in place. It has foam on the inside of it on the forehead, eyes and nose areas. It is definitely sized for a children’s head; I tried it (at my son’s request) and it didn’t really fit my face at all. The details of the design are very close, and well made. I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the mask. As for my child, I asked him, “What would you say about your mask to others?” His answer was simple, “I love it!”

Qassas Beni Bear Lunch Box

This is the cutest lunch box that I have seen in the last few years. I love its retro look which makes me think of my own lunch boxes many years ago. My 3 year old couldn’t stop jumping in excitement when I showed him his new lunch box. He loved the space theme with Beni Bear.

Qasass lunch box combo is very convenient for taking snacks when we go out; We have even used it for an “indoors picnic” (weather is not park friendly yet, its too cold). It is made out PVC and BPA free plastics that are approved by the FDA. The size of the box is 21 x 20 x 7 cm which is a good size and it hold a complete lunch with a few extra snacks perfectly, and it also has a 10 oz bottle. The lunch-box is easy to open and close; It has a latch on the side. As a mother, I appreciate that it is made completely out of plastic (even the latch), I feel its less possibilities of injury by a curious child. And it also makes it super easy to clean. It also has a strap that allows for easy carrying.

Overall, I’m not sure who loves this lunch box more if the child or his mother. It brings so many memories, while creating many more with my child. It is well made, cute, and affordable. I plan on placing his name with vinyl lettering on the opposite side of the lunch box which does not have any decor. Happy us definitely give this lunch box a 5 stars rating.

Surphas Smartphone Charging Station

I have placed our Surpahs’ Smartphone Charging Station close to our dining room area, and informed my husband that no one is allowed to have chargers at the dining room table, no one! From now on, whoever is over for diner will have to set their smartphones at the charging station until we are all done. The tray can hold multiple cellphones comfortably., and its big enough for tablets. This tray can easily be used in so many settings; I even considered placing it on the night table by the door of our bedroom as a drop off/pick up and cell phone charging area.

The Tray is very stylish, and versatile. It has three compartments with different features. One has a curve bottom which is perfect for change, and jewelry. The second one is a simple rectangle space with flat bottom. The third compartment is long, it has 3 openings towards the outside of the tray which is perfect for the cables, making that compartment be the charging station area. The outside of the tray is Leatherette (imitation Leather) and the interior is velvet like. Its dimensions are 11.8 x 2.4 x 7.1 inches. It comes with a card that provides information on how to register the tray for warranty purposes.

Overall, I really like the charging tray but I love the visual statement that I have decided it stands for; The message is now clear, no phones allowed while we are supposed to be having quality time. Surpahs’ Smartphone Charging Station is elegant, and well constructed.

Bruntmor DIPPIN

 Photographs make no justice to how beautiful Bruntmor’s DIPPIN set is. I liked it when I ordered, but I was in love as soon as I opened the box. The design is unique, chic, and modern. All the curves of the bowl even make it look like an elegant piece of art.

The DIPPIN set is made out of food grade (18/8) Stainless Steel which also means that the DIPPIN set is dishwasher safe. I’m a Stainless Steel fanatic so I prefer to wash it and dry it by hand to extend the life of that beautiful like new shine. The big bowl holds 50 ounces, and the smaller one 1.7 ounces. It takes about 4 to 5 full tablespoons to fill the smaller bowl. The set is very sturdy. When transporting the DIPPIN bowl, I find myself holding it by the curve that elevates the smaller bowl, it is that strong.

In my household we have been using it only for chips and salsa, or pretzels and cheese dip but it can be use for so many things and occasions. I keep saying I want to do a fruit salad for the big bowl, and add some yogurt or chocolate dip to the small bowl. It could even be a nice center piece when its not on use just by adding some decor; The possibilities are endless! While for others the set might seem a bit too small, it definitely works for our small gatherings, and for our family of three. If I could give it more stars, I would!

Clara's Manual Coffee Grinder

What can I say? My husband’s coffee grinder needed an update badly, I got tired of seen that old, plastic thing taking space on the kitchen counter. That is when Clara’s Coffee entered our lives! I surprised him with his brand new, slick and stylish manual coffee grinder. He gave it a try (check the video), and loved it right away.

The coffee beans grinder is made out of food grade Stainless Steel with an adjustable ceramic grinder system that allows you to decided how fine (or not) your coffee grounds will be. It includes a brush for easy cleaning of the grinder, and a carrying pouch with Clara’s Coffee logo. At first sight it seems like the grinder won’t fit in the pouch, but once the grinder is pull apart and divided into 3 pieces (crank, and 2 cylinders) it fits perfectly inside the bag. The grinder was design so it could be portable; It is also lightweight.

Overall, at first it seems like the grinder will break as the grinding begins but as it progresses those worries fade away. It looks very modern, and hardly takes any space. The coffee drinker of the house is happy, and approves of his new coffee grinder.
