I love my EO Diffusers. – Flymei’s 100ml Aromatherapy Essential Oil Diffuser.

Standard

Essential oil diffusers are a big part of our home. They are so healthy to use. We gave them as Christmas gifts this past year, because of this. I suffer from life threatening allergies and have frequent anaphylactic reactions. For example, I had 3 this week. I have to use all natural products. That is what got me into essential oils. A diffuser like this one, is the healthy way to disperse them throughout your room, and home. This unit is a smaller unit, 100ml. You can easily get several hours of enjoyment out of this with one fill. It diffuses through ultrasonic waves. It breaks the water and oil molecules down small enough to be inhaled and spread through the room. It never heats up the oils, but stays nice and cool. It is unhealthy to heat up essential oils. I love to use Eucalyptus oil in my diffuser. That’s what I have been using in this one. It helps to open the sinuses and airways. Another great one is Lavender. That is perfect for relaxation and is great aromatherapy. I love the LED light show this one has as well. There are two separate buttons on the front of this unit. A LED button and a mist button. If you short press the mist button, the unit will come on. If you short press the LED button, the lights come on, and it will roll through 7 different LED lights. You can keep pressing the button, and you can choose a certain color to stay on as well. You can run these independently. This unit has a waterless shut off, so it won’t overheat if you knock it over, or the water runs out. You can also set it to the three hour timer, and it shuts off at that time. That is pretty much what 100ml will last anyhow. Twist and open the unit. There you will find the water reservoir. This unit by Flymei comes with a water pitcher as well. The fill line on the unit is clearly marked. After placing your water in it, add 4 – 6 drops of your essential oil of choice.. Then place the lid back on, and twist it till it locks in. You will hear the click. Then turn it on, and enjoy. It’s easy to run and use, and brings you nothing but positive being and health.

Time to cool off. – Havit’s HV-F2062 19″ Laptop Cooling Pad.

Standard

We all have a laptop in our home now. Between homeschooling and work, they are needed. They can run hot though, and that isn’t overly healthy for your computer. Using a laptop cooling pad is essential. I use on all of the time. This particular cooling pad is quite impressive. The size of this thing is huge. It can accommodate a 19” laptop! Most cooling pads go up to 17”. This is the first 19” one that I have personally seen. It can also go up 5 levels with laptops up to 17”. It has 2 large fans in it with blue LED lights. You cannot run the fans without the lights, they work in conjunction with each other, and are controlled by a light blue turn wheel on the side of the unit. It is located next to the two USB ports. One USB port is for the included USB to USB cable, which is used to power the unit. Since it has to plug into your laptop, they provide a backup USB port for you to use as you need. I can’t believe how quiet these fans run. You really can’t hear them at all. The main part of this unit is a metal grate which your laptop sits on. The rest of the unit is made out of a thick plastic. The stand to adjust the height levels is metal as well. They grooves to adjust the height levels were done well, so you won’t have to worry about it collapsing on you, unless you really bump into it. There are also two feet underneath the stand to lift it that way as well. There are two plastic, lift up tabs to pull up, so your laptop doesn’t slide off when elevated. The 2 fans really do cover the entire underside of your laptop. It’s not an over bearing fan that will make you cold, lol, just your laptop. The two fans are 130mm in size, which is 5.12”. That’s a big size, and they really work. There are also 4 anti-skid pads on the underside of the pad, so it won’t slide on you as well. Overall, this is a well-made product. I am not new to Havit computer products, and this one has met the high standards I am used to.

Very bright, and easy to use. – Lifestance’s Super Bright 6 Led Solar Light.

Standard

 

I love solar lighting. It’s a no running cost way to provide outdoor lighting. What’s not to love. It’s a known fact that well-lit homes are less likely to be broken into than non-lit homes, and this is a no brainer way to do it. Especially since most solar lighting, is made with LEDs. LEDs are durable, and last for such a long time. They afford bright, clear light as well. This is LifeStance’s newer, upgraded version. It has a longer battery life, and the light is much brighter. This solar light, on bright, has 300 lumens of light. That will really brighten our way. This particular light will come on at dusk and stay on in Dim mode. When it detects motion, it goes on High mode. It will stay on High for 10 seconds, according to my actual counting, and then it goes back to dim. On a full sun, all day charge, this light will run 12 hours, and will go off at dawn. If it gets put on high throughout the night, it won’t last as long. This light has an internal 18650 lithium, 2200mAH battery. It charges in full sun, so make sure you place it where it will get that. It will charge slowly on overcast days, it just won’t stay lit for nearly as long. This solar light is pretty nice looking. Some aren’t, so I am very happy with this one. It is also quite weatherproof, which is essential for outdoor lighting. This is a lightweight unit, made out of plastics, and metal. It also comes with the hardware for install, and easy directions to follow. There is an actual on/off switch on this light. Not all solar lights have this, which makes this light extremely user friendly. To test the light in home, just go into a hallway where it’s darker. This one has a real dusk setting. Some really need it to be dark to go on. This one doesn’t need such an extreme. This light has 6 LED chips in it now, compared to 4 in their older style. They state that the sensor can work from sensor length to 16-26 feet, and the distance can be affected by temperature. My home is on stilts, so I am higher up. My distance is off with the added height, but it is a very sensitive sensor. I like it a lot. Some I have to really wave at, to get it to pick me up. Not with this light. I am very happy with this product.

These make decorating so easy. – Twisty’s Tie-Free Balloon Kit.

Standard

My son is a balloon nut. They are fun to do, but I am not a fan of popping them when they are done, or waiting for them to be popped, lol. I have a past history as a nurse, and the popping always provides a possible choking hazard. This doesn’t remove the popping altogether, but it is a much easier way to keep them blown up, and reuse them as needed. This kit arrives with 20 – 7” Latex balloons and 20 twisty ties. To use these, the included directions are easy to follow. They also have directions on their ad page as well. Take the end of the balloon, push it through the center hole of the twisty tie. Now blow it up, and snake the end of the balloon through one side, and then around through the slit opening on the other side of the twisty tie. It really holds the air in too. The double loop helps keep it intact, and if it gets knocked out of one side, the air won’t immediately start to escape. There is a little fold up hanger in the center of the tie. You can hang them on a string this way, which makes decorating really easy to do. I love the fact the balloons are twisty ties are reusable. I had gone to getting the more expensive Mylar balloons because of the popping issue. Now I can use a combination of balloons, which will make festive occasions more enjoyable. This will also cut down on trash, which makes it an eco-friendlier option in regards to decorating for parties. Otherwise, there is always so much decoration trash alone. If you are setting up off site, and don’t want a car full of pre-made balloons, this will also be a fantastic option for you. These are a must have, and I am a new fan!

I received this product at a discount, in exchange for my honest review. Opinions expressed are 100% solely my own.

Modernize your home with Topgreener’s TU21548A 4.8A Duplex USB Charger Outlet Ultra High Speed, Smart USB Ports, 24W, 15A.

Standard

I am not new to Topgreener Electrical outlets. We have a few, and are quite happy with them. Not only is the company easy to work with, but their products are also well made. This particular outlet is a 24W, 15A outlet. It has 2, three prong outlets, as well as 2 USB high speed charging ports. These charging ports have a combined 4.8W output. Our outlet has been working like a charm. Since it is a go to outlet, we have it fully loaded, just like in the video, lol. It is well used, and it works like a charm. I can tell you that my son, who is a commercial electrician, installed it for me. He stated that the unit was very well made. He was impressed by it. He showed me side by side, the old, regular outlet we changed out, and the new outlet. The new outlet is much more substantial. It goes into the wall much deeper than the regular one. We did not have to modify our opening to fit it in any way, phew. The wires on the outlet are green (ground), blue (hot), and brown (neutral). The USB ports are smart ports too. It will read what your device needs, and gives it to them. My items normally need the higher power like 2 to 2.4, so these ports are perfect for us. So, you won’t have to worry about your electronics being overcharged. The USB ports compatibility is: 1.1, 2.0, and 3.0 devices. So, you could do an IPhone in one port, and a larger item in the other port. Let’s say you have a larger pad that requires 3.0A, and the IPhone charges on 1, so you’ll still be good to go. Our outlet never gets hot to the touch, even when fully loaded. We have never had it trip our breaker. It has been working wonderfully! When it arrives it has three interchangeable outlet plates: white, light almond, and black. You will, however, have to provide your own wall plate. Since my son is an electrician, he had one on his truck for me. I’m spoiled, lol. We have nothing negative to say about this product. It has been nothing but perfect for us in every aspect. It’s such an easy way to modernize your home. To top it off, if you have little kids, this unit is also tamper resistant. Your little ones won’t be able to just shove little things in it. It’s a safer plug to have around.

So cute and comfortable on. – Beauty Nymph’s Cartoon Socks.

Standard

Fun socks are way better than boring plain socks. That’s what we think in our home, anyhow. These socks qualify as fun socks. They are made quite well also. My son is wearing these socks. They have them available in both brown and grey, but we received the dual pair in grey for both. We already owned a pair in brown. My son has been wearing those for close to a year now, and they are still in pretty good shape. He isn’t rough on his socks, yet. My son wears a sz. 4 children’s shoe, and is 8, almost 9, years old. The large fit him well. These socks are available in three different sizes: Ages 1 – 3, sz. Small, Ages 4 – 6, sz Medium, and Ages 7 – 10, sz. Large. They are made quite well. The stitching for both my pairs was done tight and on point. There was no odor to them as well. My son has an almost wide foot, with a high instep, and they fit him well. The sz large fits me as well. I wear a woman’s sz 7 ½. They are pretty stretchy. These socks are made out of 75% Cotton, 22% Nylon, and 3% Spandex. These materials are so much healthier for your skin than the polyester and acrylic being put into socks nowadays. Quality wise these are top notch. Aesthetically, they are cute, and fun to look at. I personally think they are great for young boys and girls. Especially since the colors they come in are grey and brown.

So much more than a watch box. -Satella’s Watch Box, Large.

Standard

Watch boxes can be so handy. I am a fan of using watch boxes for my jewelry. My older son also has one he uses for his watches and jewelry. This particular box is now being used by my husband. It is a 10 bay box, and the outer covering is pleather. It has 10 open compartments in it, and each compartment has a watch pillow in it. These pillows are removable. You can take the ones you don’t need, out, and use the compartments to store rings, necklaces, bracelets, tie bars, cuff links, and more. I love using these for earrings and bracelets. I can fit so many earrings in one compartment. Since the sides are so high, they can’t be lost, or roll away, when I’m looking through them. My husband has some watches, necklaces, bracelets, and extra watch links in his, so far. You can fit so much in a 10 bay box like this one.

This particular watch box is made quite well. I love the contrasting stitching on the case. It makes for a real sharp look. The case arrived with no odd odor to it at all. The pleather is in perfect condition. The top of the box is clear glass. I like being able to see in the box. The hardware is metal and has a silver, high polish chrome finish. This particular box does not have a lock on it. The lining has a soft velvet, cream colored finish to it. It’s pretty nice. It has a nice, clean look to it. This watch box measures out at: 10” long, 8 inches deep, and 3 ¼” tall. I find these boxes to be handier than a regular jewelry box. I was quite surprised by this the first time I received one. I am personally a convert now.

Incredible craftsmanship in this Alpaca Silver “Fruit of the Spirit” Religious Cuff Bracelet (Handmade).

Standard

I lived in Mexico for 5 years when I was little. I love their jewelry till this day. This handmade bracelet is gorgeous. It was made out of Alpaca silver, which is a big stale for that Country, in regards to their jewelry making. Alpaca Silver has been around since 1823 when a contest began to find a great alternative for Sterling Silver. A German Manufacturer named Berndorf, created and named Alpaca Silver. It is actually a combination of metals normally to include a combination of Copper, Nickel, Cadmium, Zinc and Tin. It is not stated which metals were used in this bracelet.

The finish on this bracelet was done is a high polished finish. It is so pretty. My skin has suffered no irritation whatsoever with it. It is so comfortable to wear. It arrives as an open cuff design. The interior dimension it comes with is 2 ½”. It can be stretched a little to slide onto your wrist if you need it. This is not a thin and flimsy bracelet in the least. It is well made, sturdy, and quite beautiful. I love, love, love the sentiment behind this bracelet. It is religious in nature, and on each end depicts a “Jesus” fish symbol. The entire bracelet is engraved in the “fruit of the spirit” from Galatians. This bracelet is 6.5” long, and is ¾’s of an inch wide. It’s such a positive bracelet. I can’t imagine anyone not wanting to wear it. The words express nothing but positive statements: Love, Goodness, Kindness, Joy, Gentleness, Peace, Self-Control, Humility, Patience. These are words everyone should strive to live up to daily.

It’s Vinyl Crafting Time. – Innoweb Power’s Scraft Artise 12″ x 12″ Matte Finish Outdoor Adhesive Craft Vinyl.

Standard

We like vinyl in my home, lol. Not the usual statement you will hear from someone, but it’s true. Whether we stick them to our car windows, or our laptops, they are a fun way to express yourself. It’s fun being able to make your own from home. It has a gratifying premise to it. This package by Innoweb Powers has 10 sheets in it. There are 5 white sheets and 5 black vinyl sheets. Each sheet measures out at 12” x 12”. The thickness is 3mm; so it’s a great thickness to work with. The back of each sheet of vinyl has a measured grid on the back of it. We do not have a Cricut machine, or any machine like that, but this ran through our printer perfectly. We had to cut the sheet down, and it ran right through. We chose to print the design out on the back of the sheet, and then cut the design out easily. My husband wanted the Punisher symbol for his laptop, so we did that first. Since the quality of this vinyl is top notch, it was a very smooth process. The vinyl sticks really, really well. It is rated to last 3 years in the outdoor environment, and 5 years in the indoor environment. This vinyl does have a permanent adhesive backing, and is not recommended for walls. This is not the peel and stick vinyl people put on their walls. So walls equal no! This material is obviously waterproof, since it has a three-year life span outdoors. You can decorate wine glasses, serving dishes, and the like, if you so choose to. It would be a very economical way to decorate the outside of votive holders, and wine glasses for a wedding, or special occasion. You can decorate a special vase to pull out on birthdays or anniversaries. There are endless opportunities, and we find it fun to do. They do have other color options available, as well as larger quantities. You can go all patriotic and order the red, white, and blue options, or be pretty in pink, and just order pink, lol. There are other color choices as well. I am very happy with the quality of this adhesive backed vinyl. I have no complaints.

The perfect sticky pad! – Boschi’s MG Super Sticky Notes, 3 in X 3 in.

Standard

Yea, it’s office supply time, lol. Well, no one says yea, but supplies are always needed. We all go for sticky notes too. They are one of those indispensable needs. My kids have used them as well as us adults. People do crafting with them, leave love notes with them, and so much more. They don’t just have to be for work. They are definitely a great way to leave reminders for yourself, that’s for sure. I don’t recommend covering up someone’s car with them though, lol.  This set of sticky notes from the Boschi store on Amazon, are a set of 10 pads. They are the yellow color we are all used to seeing. They all arrive individually packaged inside of the box. Haha, you could sell them to your employees then. Or, you could be nice and share. These are 100 count pads and measure out at 3” x 3” by my ruler. So, they will fit into those sticky pad holders. They are very sticky. I played around with them. Stuck them on my forehead, my eyebrows, lol. My 8 year old got a big laugh out of my shenanigans. I had no trouble taking them up and replacing them down. The stickiness factor is there. You can write well on them too. Just like any other sticky notes that I have used. This is a great way to stock up too. I hate running out. It’s one of those things we use, but I always forget to put on the list to buy.
