Review: 3.4A Apple Certified Rapid Lightning Car Charger



 










This charger is a pretty typical charger for the Iphone/Ipod. It works well for my son's Ipod or my other son's Iphone 6. The charger also has an additional USB port if you have more than one device to charge. It doesn't give the dreaded "slow charging rate" message that you can get with some after market chargers. I like that the company gives a 1 year warranty with their product because that means that they have faith in their product.

Review: Bino Acrylic Tray



I love storage containers. I have tried several different storage solutions for my makeup palettes because they are all different sizes and shapes but this acrylic tray is working out great for me so far. It has four different sections, 2 larger rectangle and 2 smaller squares as you can see in the company's stock photo above. I have the completely clear one but used this picture so you can see the compartments easily.  The best thing about this tray is that I even have room left over! Time to fill it up! LOL Let's hope the hubby doesn't see this post. 

A bunch of palettes fit in this tray very easily!
This tray is a heavy acrylic that should last for a very long time. Clumsy as I am, I even dropped it and it came away without a scratch or crack. I like the rubber grips on the bottom of the tray so it doesn’t slide all over the place. Considering I have it stacked on top of a three drawer plastic container, this is a very good thing. I’d hate to have all of my palettes knocked on the floor if it slid off of there. Those palettes are expensive!


Side View, Still have more space left over. :)

Review: SKLEER Skin Restoration Gel



























Review:
I am a big scent person and usually do not care for medicinal smells or essential oil type smells so be warned if you are the same, this might not be your cup of tea. The first thing you smell when you open this container is Tea Tree Oil and if you have used tea tree oil before you will know that it is potent stuff. I usually use it mixed in with a face lotion when I have breakouts so I do know a little of what I speak.

Upon applying to the skin, it dries down to an almost Camphor type smell, think Vick's vapor rub.  However, after sitting on my skin for about 15 minutes, I don't even notice the smell anymore but my nose adjusts to scents pretty easily. Who knows if someone else would be able to smell it on me as strongly as I first did? I keep forgetting to get my hubby or kids to sniff me after using it. Yes, I'm that weird mom/wife that makes her family sniff  her when she uses a new product to gauge their reactions. They have to live with me after all.

I received a 1oz. tube and a 10mL sample size to test out in exchange for review and I haven't even had to touch the tube yet. This is an off-white gel that glides on very smoothly and soaks in quickly. I feel like I do need to mention that I have been very hesitant to put this around my eyes  or  mouth because I made that mistake with a Tea Tree Oil product one time. NEVER AGAIN!! *insert bugged out scary eyes here* The fires of Hell could not have been burned as much as straight tea tree oil.

That's not saying that it would happen with this product but I have been overly cautious ever since that horrific experience. I have tried using this on various parts of my body but I think my arms are where I like it the most. I did try using it as spot treatment when my face breaks out because tea tree oil is great for that. I'm not sure if the other ingredients which include Eucalyptus oil, Cardamom oil, Caraway oil and Cinnamon oil are good for clearing skin or not. The cinnamon oil did concern me a little bit considering it is going directly onto my skin but I have not had any reaction what so ever to this product which is always a plus in my book. All in all, I have been pleasantly surprised by how much I liked this. I do reach for it fairly often and it also seems to keep the bug away from me. That is always an added bonus.

Review: Silicone Ice Pop Molds - Set of 6 - By Decodyne


Review:
 These are the first silicone Popsicle molds that I have ever used and while they are a good size and make a very nice popsicle, they are kind of difficult to clean. I tried using a bottle brush but it doesn’t get down into the very bottom of the mold.

I only used Kool-Aid in mine so it wasn’t that big a deal because the hot water and soap can get to the bottom and will get any leftover juice in the bottom but I would not try to use this for yogurt or anything thicker than juice.

Review: Techege Battery Powered Excavator Construction Toy

This is an adorable toy. It has lots of lights and music and the bucket lifts up and down. My nephew loved this toy and ran off with it like a little wild child the first time he saw it. He eventually went home with it because loud toys aren’t my thing. LOL.

Somehow I managed to get through two boys without pulling my hair out. There are lights underneath the treads and on top of the toy which blink between red and blue which is pretty neat.

 In 2010, a book editor and a graphic designer joined forces with one modest goal:  to render all of human experience in chart form.
They went on to amass no small renown (that is, a ton of renown) for their infographical treatments of the varieties of beer, the full array of culinary tools, a taxonomy of hip-hop, and dozens more mappings of cultural touchstones.
Now, with a small team of researchers, designers, and soldiers, Pop Chart Lab continues to assemble, sift, cull, and arrange massive amounts of cultural data into meaningful works of art and information.

Review: Microfiber Cleaning Towels (5 Pack)



 Review:

These are great for polishing a car after washing it. They are a great value because they come 5 to a package and they are larger than hand size so they can be used over and over again by moving it around on your hand. I throw these in the washing machine after using to get all the wax out of them so they can be used next time. These cloths are soft and do not scratch paint which is the main reason I agreed to review them.

Abundant Living's Beginner's Organic Vegetable Seed Kit (37 Varieties) & Gardening Book


Review:


I have just recently wanted to start gardening because fruits and vegetables are so expensive at the grocery store. I received this Nana and Papa's Salad for a Year kit in exchange for review and I am ecstatic that I did. This comes with so many different types of vegetables that I will have seeds to use this year and next year also. This kit comes with a book that is very informative about how to garden successfully. 

I had already planned to plant some tomatoes but now I have three different kinds of tomatoes including beefsteak and yellow tomatoes along with lettuce, cucumbers, and peppers. I just planted them this morning in a little greenhouse type contraption so I will have to report back on how well they grow over the next couple of weeks.
