Slicing it good. – Brandobay’s Professional 10-Inch Cheese Knives (Green).

Standard

We are a family of cheese lovers, and I mean across the board too. Since I was a child, wherever we would gather, there would always be sliced cheese and crackers, etc.. Owning a good cheese knife is a must have. I am very pleased with Brandobay’s 10 inch cheese knives. You actually get two in the package. I love the bright cheery green, but they are also available in a deep purple or red too. The handles are made out of plastic, and the serrated blades are made out of stainless steel. They are pretty sharp too. The cut through a block of hard cheddar like butter; very evenly. The cheese word cut out in the blade is a fun touch. When you ask someone to help you out by getting the cheese knife for you, there is no mistaking this one. The ends have the double points on them, so you can even use them to help you serve. These are even dishwasher safe. It’s a solid set of cheese knives, and I am comfortable recommending them.

Mash it! – Splendid Chef’s Stainless Steel Potato Masher.

Standard

We make a lot of homemade mashed potatoes, and homemade potato salad. We use the traditional potato masher, until now, that is. This shape is pretty impressive. I was really skeptical at first. When It first arrived, the first thing I need was press it down really hard on my floor to see if the handle and metal arm would take it. It did take it, too! It did not fold over. I’m quite impressed. This masher is made out of a thick stainless steel with plastic outer handle. The stainless steel is one solid piece, that goes throughout the entire piece. Without the double arm system over the masher head, it is so much easier to handle the potatoes. You don’t get that build up there, where then you have to bang it to knock the buildup of potatoes, out. For some reason, that really annoys me. You don’t get that with this masher. Since that double arm isn’t there, it is also easy to clean this masher. There is nothing blocking your way for a quick scrub down. I love the saying this company has with this masher: “Mash the Shit Out of Your Potatoes in Style”. It cracks me up, but it’s true. This is an awesome potato masher. I received it with the green handle, but they also have it available in a pretty blue as well. This baby is even dishwasher safe. So don’t just sit there, get one of these so you too can mash the shit out of your potatoes!

Solar power, perfect for homeschooling and more. – iLoonger’s T4 Transforming Solar Robot Kit.

Standard

I homeschool my 8 year old. I love kits like this one. They can really inspire and teach. I talk about solar power to him all of the time. But, seeing his face light up with excitement over the toy coming to life, was amazing. When we brought it out into the sun, and the dinosaur jaws started opening and closing, and the feet started moving, he glowed. We kept moving it from the sun to the shade, over and over. It was like an instant on/off switch, lol. When they say full sun, they mean it. We made the dinosaur option, but you can also make a drilling machine, robot, or insect. You can only make one at a time.

At first glance, when you open your kit, you may say to yourself, “Nope!” Let me tell you this, even though at first glance, the instruction book looks daunting, it isn’t. I was able to go through it and easily assemble the dinosaur. My son watched, lol. The gear box is the main assembly. The solar wires are fine, so if you have a bruiser like my son, you may want to do the gear box, and let your child finish the rest. This kit does not store power. It uses it immediately to power the product. You will get 1 green sheet of parts, and 1 grey sheet. You also get a little bag of parts and stickers. Each sheet is clearly labeled. For example, you will see A12 or B6. You have to look closely though. The letters and numbers are imprinted in the plastic itself. The loose parts are listed out in the beginning of the instruction booklet. To change forms, you will not have to redo the gear box, just the added pieces to it. The even show you how to undo your pieces. The instructions are all illustrated out, which makes it really easy to do.

My son knew about solar power. But seeing the dinosaur start moving, and quickly too, was impressive. He really was able to grasp the actual sheer power of the sun, first hand. You need to have full sun too. We went out in the evening too, when the sun was low, but it still worked when we aimed the solar panel at the sun. He had the most fun this way. It was so easy to use the shade as an off switch this way; on, off, on, off, over and over again, lol. This first hand truly teaches the power of the sun to your children. It makes solar power come alive for them.

Jumbo Cartoon Hands from Kangaroo on Amazon.

Standard

It’s fun to dress up in costume. My son loves to for fun. These cartoon hands are hilarious. Hey scream Mickey Mouse to me. These are so soft and cushy. They have the usual glove slip on, but since the finger holes are so large, it’s no big deal to have two fingers in one. It is only a four finger glove, after all. These gloves go to the start of your wrist. The top of the hand is highly padded, but the underside is not. That way you can still bend and grasp with your hand. The fingers are highly padded as well. They do not state what material is used for the gloves, but it reminds me of a polyester with fiberfill filling. The stitching on the gloves was done well. I have no loose threads, or poor stitching on mine. My gloves did not have any weird odor to them as well. These really are hilarious. I think they are great for Halloween, dress up, and if your little ones are always fighting each, make them put these on first, lol.

The healthy way to disperse essential oils. – Housmile’s 100ml Aroma Essential Oil Diffuser.

Standard

I am a fan of essential oil diffusers. They are so healthy for you, and this one is very easy to operate as well. Essential oils aren’t healthy to heat up. Heating them up changes their chemical makeup. So, an essential oil diffuser is one of the easiest ways to diffuse them through the home. They ionize the molecules and break the water and oils down small enough to be inhaled by you. This diffuser never gets hot to the touch, even with their LED lights running. This diffuser can hold 100ml of water in it. To fill it, just lift off the top of the diffuser, and you will see the water reservoir. The even include a mini water pitcher to fill it with. This diffuser it very well labeled. Not all of them are. They breakdown the water lines at: 20, 40, 60, 80, and 100ml. The water drain side is even labeled. There are even two black dots that line up when your cover is put back on correctly. This diffuser has two buttons on it: mist and light. You can choose to run this on light mode only, diffuser mode only, or both at the same time. The diffuser has timer options, and they work really well. You can set it for 30, 60, 120, or 180 minutes. You press the mist button until the LED light stops on the wanted time frame. It shuts off at that time limit, too. There is a safety mechanism built into this diffuser. When the water runs out, the machine stops running. It will not overheat on you. If someone was to knock it over, the water would run out, and it will shut off. After you place your water into the diffuser, place about 4 -6 drops of your essential oil into the water. It depends on the strength of your oil, and size of your room. If your room is large, with this size, place it a little closer to where everyone is. I love the LED colors. They rotate through. If you press the button more than once, you can choose the LED color you want it to stay on. This is a nice option. This is a lightweight, and nice working unit. I love to run Eucalyptus in mine, and Lavender as well. Lavender is so relaxing, and Eucalyptus really helps to open the sinuses and airways. Peppermint is also a great one to use. There are so many options, lol.

The perfect update for your P238. – EXEL Sig Sauer P238 G10 Gun Grips.

Standard

The 2nd Amendment is very important to me and my family. The plus side of that of course, is our fire arms. They are so pricey though, so it’s nice to be able to upgrade the ones we have. When you choose to purchase a fire arm where you can change out the grips, you’ll never get bored of that gun. Grips are both great for better gun handling, and aesthetics as well. A great quality grip can really make a difference. The grips I reviewed here are for the Sig Sauer P238. That firearm is on my dream wish list. I did go by some of our local Gun Stores to review these grips. One store immediately told me upon removing one from my package, “Wow, these are great grips!” He hadn’t even held them at that point, lol. You will have the same reaction if you get them, as well. The quality is fantastic. These grips are made out of G10 material. It is tough and durable. They have many colors and designs available in their storefront as well. The grip is solid with these. Not slick in the least. The dimensions between the holes are 2 5/32″ and their thickness is 5/32″. My grips arrived with no nicks, scratches, or malformations at all. The specs were correct. They do not come with screws. You need to provide your own. I ordered them in their tan/green color, but they have 9 other colors available. They are CNC machined grips, and very, very well done. I couldn’t find any flaws with these grips. They have met all of my expectations.

Fashion and Style with Ecowish’s UK Amazon Store front.

Standard

It can be hard ordering clothing online. You always question quality, comfort, and size. I was asked to test a few pieces of clothing for the Ecowish store on Amazon. I was sent a really pretty shirt, a jacket, and a zip up sweatshirt, in a fun style. My clothes arrived quickly, and in great condition.

I really love the style of the shirt. It is a lot of fun with the open shoulder design. The shirt runs true to their size chart. I washed it in cold water, and dried it in the dryer. It washed and dried very well. My shirt arrived with all of its stitching done tight and on point. I had no tears, stains, or discolorations. It has such a feminine look to it. I love how it hangs. It has a flowy look it. You can easily dress this shirt up, or wear it more casually. You can change it up with jewelry and a different bottom choice. The material is soft to the touch. It is made out of 65% Polyester and 35% Cotton. I ordered mine in a pretty light grey, but they also have it available in black and white. It’s definitely a shirt that gets a lot of compliments.

The jacket I received to review is so fun. It’s hard to find bomber jackets for women where I live. I love the green color. The contrast with the black cuffs, waistband, and collar is striking. The material this jacket is made out of is a mixture of cotton, polyester, and satin. It is quite smooth and cool against your skin. The jacket is fully lined as well. There are no interior pockets. On the outside of the jacket you will find 1 zippered pocket on the left arm. This pocket is small, but could easily fit some cash, or that important number you don’t want to lose. There are also two regular, open pockets on this jacket. The pockets are also lined. This jacket was made to go to the waist. All the stitching on my jacket was done well. The zipper is not the strongest, but it works well. I have to hold down the jacket by the waist, while I zip it up with the other hand. This jacket is great for cool days. It’s a fun, lightweight jacket.

I love soft and comfortable clothing, I’m not going to lie, lol. This sweatshirt is fluffy, and soft, and feels like a warm cloud wrapped around you. I love the fun twist on the design of a zip up hoody. I washed this sweat shirt in cold after it arrived, and then ran it through the drier. It definitely is made out of cotton, lol, because it shrank a little. The great thing about all cotton with soft material, is that you can stretch it back in shape when washed again. If this happens to you, you can pull on the length and arms when it’s wet, and then hang dry it. I love the dark grey color I received. It has some brown patch accents on it as well. They do offer it in 5 other colors though. This sweatshirt washed beautifully. All of the stitching was done tight and on point. My zipper is working well and the string ties for the hood, are thick and soft white in color. It’s another fun twist from the boring cord like pulls. The collar area is my favorite part. It’s off center, so the way it flaps over is a lot of fun. This sweatshirt hangs at your upper hip line. If you are long waisted, it will be higher on you. I am 5’3” and short waisted. Read their size chart carefully, and remember you will be wearing this over clothing, lol. I suggest you order up in size. It does run small. It is a more fitted look for a sweat shirt. But, it definitely is a fun look, and it’s sooooooo soft.

The Culinary Shops’ PrepStor 3 Compartment Food Containers with Lids.

Standard

I think we all need leftover containers. Even if you do not work out of your home. I love being organized when I can, and these containers really help in regards to food and meals. They are BPA free, as well as microwave, freezer, and dishwasher safe. For thin plastic containers, they can do a lot. They can handle temps up to 250 degrees Fahrenheit. There are 3 divided compartments in each container. With these containers, you get 2 – 8oz compartments, and 1 – 160z compartment. So, if you are on a special diet, you can use these to help you stay on tract. The lid snaps on very securely and keep these leak free. You really need to work your way around the lid, making sure it is fully snapped shut. Otherwise, they will probably leak on you. When you are not using them, they stack into each other so well, and take up minimal space. They are lightweight, and won’t add a lot of weight to your bag when you head out for work or a trip. These feel like throw away containers because they are so lightweight, but they can be used over and over, which I love.

Gorgeous storage!. – Songmic’s Acrylic Makeup Organizer Cosmetic Storage Display Boxes.

Standard

As women, we all struggle with organizing jewelry, makeup, and our everyday essentials. Especially when you use certain items all of the time. Containers like this set up are so wonderful for that, and they are so pretty to look at as well. I have other acrylic organizers, like this one. So, I was so excited to get this larger set up. It is made so well, and has so much storage in it. It is technically 3 pieces, and encompasses 8 drawers and 16 multi-size compartments. Even though this is technically a 3 section system, they have an interlocking system, that keeps them firmly in place. You literally need to knock it off. Any spouse/partner would rather see this set up on a bathroom counter, than a lot of containers or mess. This is such a pretty container to look at. The lights play so nicely off of the clear acrylic and lets it shine. Since it is see thru, it doesn’t feel like a lot of clutter. I love how much you can actually fit in this container. Since it is stacked storage, it doesn’t even take up that much space. It measures out at 12″ tall  x 5 1/2″ deep  x  9 1/2″ long. Each drawer has a mesh liner which is great to keep things from sliding around I the drawer, being noisy. Both the liners, and the drawers are fully removable. So they are extremely easy to clean, and organize. I really can’t say enough positive about this set. They arrive so nicely packaged, and in perfect condition. Everything about them is wonderful.

Boss of a keychain/bottle opener. – American Brass’ 7.62mm Bullet Bottle Opener Keychain.

Standard

I am an avid 2nd Amendment supporter. I personally think most pro-gun people would just love this key chain. It wouldn’t even have to have the bottle opener in it for me to love it. I think it’s awesome. My bullet keychain arrived in perfect condition. It is a recycled piece of ammunition proudly used by our US military, prior to being born again as a keychain/bottle opener. I just love, love, love that! To top off the awesomeness of this key chain, the company that makes these keychains is veteran owned an operated. This keychain is lightweight, and a great size at 3 3/8th inches long. The key ring is metal and was done in the brass tone as well. It matches perfectly. As far as a bottle opener. This one works like a boss! It’s cut out of the bullet casing, so you know it’s tough and can handle the job easily, and over and over, too. It’s one bad ass keychain!
