Review: Ancient Greek Remedy Oil



 
Review
If you do not like Lavender then do not even consider this item as the scent is strictly lavender even though this is mixed with other oils. I was hoping that the other oils would cut down on the scent of the floral element but I was wrong. However, the oil is very nice and moisturizing and I will use it but only at night so I don't have to smell the scent as strongly and lavender is supposed to help with relaxation and sleep so it's a win-win situation for me. This oil works great for hands and feet which is what I've used it mostly for. It really is non-greasy and soaks in quickly which is unusual for an oil product. I do wish the delivery method was different, a dropper maybe? The bottle has a spray nozzle on it so oil is splashed a little with every spray. This oil would be amazing if the nozzle was different and the lavender was reduced.

Review: Venstone-X2 Sport Sweatproof Resistant Headphones



Buy Here
$11.99 w/Prime shipping


Review:
 This is the first set of headphones that I have tried with this shape to them. There is a rubberized piece that sits in the top part of the ear that keeps them from moving around a lot. I like that this comes with 3 additional sets of ear buds and I did end up using one of the smaller sets for myself. The cord on the headphones is also rubberized which is what I'm going to assume the company means by sweat resistant. I wore these on several occasions for about 30 minute intervals while walking on an outdoor track. I was surprised at the sound quality for the price and the additional details such as the ear piece that went into these headphones. I've had to hide them from my husband as he is extremely hard on these types of electronics and I'd like to keep them in one piece. LOL

Review: Yoga Blocks and strap

2 Blocks and 1 Strap



Review:
 I am still relatively new to yoga and a friend recommended that I should get some blocks and straps to help with some of the positions that I was having issues with. I do yoga on my own so I didn't have anyone to help me with it other than Google so I can only hope that I was using both items correctly. I did notice that these helped me hold the forms easier than I did without them as I am not even close enough to being flexible enough yet. These blocks are pretty sturdy even when putting my weight on them. My items came packaged well and even came with a coupon for a future purchase which I thought was a nice addition.


Company info:

Review: Pokemon Card Assortment set


$19.95 w/Prime shipping.

Review: 
This is a pretty awesome set for the price point and my son is in love with it but the listing is showing that it comes with a storage box or a tin and my set didn't come with either. It came packaged in a box but not one that I would consider a "storage box". That is the only downside to this item. I don't really know enough about Pokemon cards to know whether these are good or great cards but he was satisfied with the cards and the pin that came with it. He put it on his backpack and hasn't removed it since we received it.



Company information:

1 Random Full Art Mew Promo!
1 Random Ultra Rare!

Review: Aleratec 4 Tablet Charging Rack




$9.99 w/Prime shipping 

Review:
 So this is supposed to be a tablet rack but I decided to use it for another purpose. I have been using it for makeup palettes and it works amazingly well. This is a very lightweight plastic rack with 4 openings with the company's name on one corner. I was actually surprised that it was such a lightweight plastic with no weights to hold it down. If you only have one tablet in this rack on the ends, it will flip over. I'm not comfortable putting expensive electronics in it so it gets re-purposed.


Company info:
  •  Store and organize up to 4 tablets
  • The perfect place to hold tablets while charging and syncing
  • Fits neatly on desktop, countertops, and night stands
  • Lightweight and portable
  • Compatible with most tablets (tablet must be at least 165.1 mm / 6.5 inches long)

Review: TOTU BT-2 V4.1 Bluetooth Headphones




$59.99 w/Prime shipping

Review:
The only thing that would make these better would be if they were wired so that they wouldn't have to have a charger cord. I love wireless headphones but I have a hard time remembering to charge them. I love that this comes with different size ear buds. These headphones have great volume controls and are comfortable with extended wear. I used them the last time I washed my car and they never hurt my ears. These come with three different sizes of ear buds, a charger cord and a carrying case. I appreciate the carrying case being included because otherwise these would have gotten torn up by now or ate by my puppy. LOL  Dogs have no sense ofwhat is proper food. The sound quality is pretty nice with no static or interference.

Review: DanceCrazy Trigger Point Muscle Massager




$14.95 w/Prime shipping

Review:
This is a simple product BUT it works well. It's reminiscent of the muscle rollers made of wood but it has definitely been improved upon. I get muscle cramps in my thighs a lot and this has helped with that. It gets deep into the muscles and helps my legs not be sore from the cramp the next day. This muscle massager has a rubber band around the middle so that it's easy to hold.

Company info:
The DanceCrazy Massage Roller Ball soothes aching and tired muscles, It's easy to use, and really gets into hard to reach places.

Review: Stainless Steel Watermelon Slicer


$19.89 w/Prime. 

Review:
This is one of those things that you never knew you needed until you got it. It' so easy to use this to get great slices and the slicer is flexible enough that you can hold the slice to pick it up out of the rind. This didn't work well for me when doing a 1/4 of a watermelon but it works better on a half. I really like it and would definitely buy again.

Review: HotelSpa 7-Setting 7in Rainfall Shower Head

$19.78 at the time of the review.

Review:
 This would be an excellent shower head if you have a large water tank. There are 7 different settings on the shower head and it was super easy to install. I do not have a large water tank so this didn't work well for us simply because the shower head uses so much water and it runs out of hot water quickly for our household.

Review: Vacuum Insulated Stainless Steel Tumbler




Buy Here
$25.50 w/Prime. 

Review:
 This is one of the largest coffee mugs that I've ever owned at 30oz. The only thing that could make it better would be have a handle on it and to have a lid that has a closure on it. That's on the list of pretty typical requirements for me. The lid is made of standard plastic which could definitely be made sturdier. I have used this a couple time a week since receiving this and while I wish there were some additions, I still love this cup.

Company info:
 Elegant High-Quality Double Walled Vacuum Insulated Royal Flask TUMBLER Keeps The Cold Drinks Cool and The Hot Drinks Warmed
-It's hard to see where the sip holes are, so you can spill liquid on yourself if you get that wrong.

"Looking For An Eco-Friendly Vacuum Insulated Mug That Won't Rust, Leak, Spill, Or Sweat...Without Spending A Fortune? Don't Settle For Cheap Imitators...This Is Your Answer. Save Money With Royal Tumbler."
-Especially if you travel or bring your lunch/tea/coffee to work. Makes a great Holiday Gift!
-This is truly spill proof. you can thrown it in you bag every day for work for the years and no accidents! Not once will you spilled any coffee in you car or work and you can fill it to the top. Other coffee mugs spray every time you open and close the lid.
-The lid has a rubber on it and never comes off
-over a 6 hours period the temp only decreased 54 degrees.

Review:
This is your typical dual USB charging port for the car and it charges with any USB cord. It is small and attractive while not taking up too much space. I didn't get any kind of slow charging rates with my Samsung S4 or my kid's Apple products. I don't know what the difference in Amps and what the 2.4A mean but it charges two devices with no issues. The design fits well in my port in my car and my husband's truck.

Review: Shot Glass


Company photo

Buy Here
$7.96 w/Prime shipping

Review:
This is a larger size shot glass which is always a good thing in my book. The glass is fairly thick and it hasn't gotten broken yet and it's been dropped twice. I'm not sure how long the printing will show up on the outside but so far it's holding its own very well. I'm a huge Princess  Bride fan so the saying on the shot glass was s big factor in choosing to review this glass. It fits right in with the rest of my other novelty shot glasses and mugs.

Company info:
  • ☛ BIGGER IS BETTER - Our shot glass holds a full 2 ounce shot. Most others only hold 1.5 ounces

    ☛ FREE SHIPPING - Search MakeEmLaugh to See All Our Awesome Shot Glasses. Get FREE Shipping When You Buy Four of our Glasses or Use Your Prime Account.

    ☛ BLACK IS BETTER - Seems that if you have a shot glass with writing on it you should be able to read it even if there's clear liquor inside. Glasses with etched lettering are almost impossible to read without a darker spirit inside.

    ♥ THE PERFECT GIFT - The best gifts surprise and delight the lucky receiver. What Harry Potter fan wouldn't love this? 
☛ TORTURE TESTED - Dishwasher safe. We even boiled it for an hour without a scratch

<~~~~~~~~This is a stock photo from the company's Amazon listing.

Review:
I was not able to get a picture of this shirt on me. It's really cute but it is made very large. I am an 18/20 and ordered the XL. It's HUGE, like I could have fit one of my kids in it with me. LOL Other than the sizing issue, it's a very cute shirt. The fabric is super soft and flowy but also very stretchy. I think that added into the sizing issue. I probably could've worn a Medium easily and been very comfortable. The shirt has a flared bottom that would be good for someone with a bigger lower half. While it's thin, it's also good for disguising problem areas because it floats away from the body. I would love to get this shirt in a couple more colors to wear with my leggings.
