The perfect toiletry bag. – Inspire Travel Luggage’s Leak-proof Toiletry Bag.

Most of my toiletries do not have screw on tops. So, once you open them, it’s pretty much impossible to have a secure, leak proof closure of the bottles. I have never found a toiletry case like this one before. I absolutely love it. It has a lift out, fully plastic container/liner inside the case. I have a small cooler like this, and it is such a wonderful feature. I can’t believe more toiletry bags aren’t made like this. Aesthetically, it is pretty sharp looking. I love the all black color, with a powerful hit of an accent color. I received the green color scheme, and I love it. I am a big fan of this bright green color. Both the monogram and the underside of the handle are done in the accent color. The monogram is actually on both sides of the bag. They do not ignore the valuable real estate on the back of the bag like most companies do. There is an identical large zippered pocket with monogram, just like in the front of the bag. The monogram is a T. The other colors available are charcoal, plum, grey, and pink. So, there is something for everyone. It is a very professional looking bag, and can proudly be used on a business trip. I am a stay at home mom due to illness, but I am excited about this this bag for myself. This bag measures 10 inches tall, 9 ½ inches deep and 12 ½ inches long, per my measurements. The inside dimensions of the plastic container measure out at 11 ¼” wide, 5 1/2” deep, and 9 ¼ inches tall. There is a little narrowing as the case goes down. You can easily fit 5 bottles standing up in here, and fill in the space with razors, your brush, comb, make up, essential oils, etc. Then, to top it off there are still the two large full size pockets, on each side of the bag. The bag is nicely lined with waterproof material as well. All of the stitching on my bag was done tight and on point. There was no odor to it upon arrival as well. My 3 zippers all function perfectly. There is nothing I do not love about this bag. It has to be the most usable toiletry bag I have ever seen.

Full tang Carving knife on a budget. – Brandobay’s Professional 12-Inch Carving Knife.

cheap carving knife 1 If you like to make roasts, or serve large cuts of meat, it’s necessary to have a carving knife. I prefer full tang knives. They tend to last longer, and are more durable. This in turn, makes the carving job easier. Rarely do I find a factory edge sharp enough to thinly slice meat. So being able to easily sharpen your blade is also a consideration in purchasing a knife. Now, if budget was of no concern, then you really wouldn’t have to think about this. Well, for most of us, budget is a concern. Currently this knife is priced only at $11.87. It is a 12 inch carving knife, and it is also a full tang knife as well. The knife is made out of Stainless Steel, and the handles is attached to it very tightly. The handle is black, and made out of plastic. It is lightweight to hold and use. The knife measures out at 12 ¼” overall. The grip is solid, and the knife is easy to use. It has a sharp enough blade on it, but I think extra sharpening would really make it shine as a carving knife. Haha, it didn’t pass the shaving the hair on your arm test, out of the package. For the price, it’s not a bad carving knife. I do really like that it’s a full tang knife at this price point.

Teeth cleaning time. – SmileDentPro’s Dental Tools to Remove Plaque Dental Hygiene Kit Set.

I don’t know about you, but I think dental insurance is hard to find nowadays, and it can be so pricey. Even if you do go twice a year for your cleaning, you may have really tight teeth, or a sticky candy habit, lol. I do not eat any candy, but I do have really tight teeth. I have been wanting to get a set like this, mainly to reach the tight spaces between my teeth here and there. The important thing to remember with this set, is to thoroughly clean it with every use! You can actually sterilize it in white finger, if you let it soak for a full 24 hours. This set is made out of Stainless Steel, and it is a dentist prepared kit. They will send you an e-manual in an email after you purchase it to help you with the tools. The pieces are sturdy and well made in nature. I am really happy with the set. The storage case is perfect, and closes up completely with a zipper. You will get these tools in your set: Dental Mirror, Dental Explorer, Dental Tweezer, Tarter Scraper/Surface Scaler, and a Sickle Scaler. It will definitely take practice to use them, but it’s great for my tight teeth. The mirror is an anti-fog mirror. The tweezers are so long, you could also use them in an emergency if someone is choking and the Heimlich won’t work. When my oldest was younger, he was choking on pizza and this happened. By the grace of God, I was able to shove my hand down his throat, and pull out the stringy cheese. As far as dental tools go, this is my first home set. I am very happy with the quality of them though. They are well made, and quite sturdy.

Time to play in the dark with Mindscope’s Light Up LED GLOW PAD, Writing Pad, BLUE, with 3D Activity Kit, Bundle Pack.

Almost all children love things that glow. You combine that with drawing, and it becomes even more entertaining. This set is so much fun. You will get 1 glow board, 4 markers, 11 prints, and 3D paper glasses in your packages. Technically there are 6 prints, but 5 are double sided. Each marker has two color choices on it. So in each 2 marker set you get these colors: yellow, green, orange and pink. The ink is almost translucent, and the light makes them really glow. One side of the glow board has an acrylic plate that covers the print. You slide a print in from the top of the board. Then you take a marker and draw where you want to on the board. You can go crazy with your imagination, or draw like you are coloring in the print. The light button is the white button at the bottom of the easel. Every press will take it to a different LED light, until you get to the cycle of rotating colors. The LED light colors I saw on my pad are: red, blue, green, purple, white, yellow, aqua, and a rotation of the colors. My son really likes the light feature, and how much it makes the marker glow. It’s pretty wild. There is no weird odor to the markers at all. I love the functionality of the glow board. First off, you will need to install 3 AAA batteries on the back of the board. You need to provide the batteries, and a Phillips Head screwdriver to access the compartment. This board has a pull out tab that lets you stand it up like an easel. There are also two thick and sturdy suction cups to mount it to the fridge, mirror or window, if they wanted to. It’s a lot of fun, and well made. You will also find a spot on the back of the board, to snap in your 2 marker set. The 3D glasses are the clear kind. So if your family has the plastic ones in home, they can use those. Only one pair comes in this set. It has a minor 3D effect, which is fun for kids. This is definitely a product kids can entertain themselves with.

Fun emoji Stampers from Yagoozon.

The emoji craze is here! They are coming out with everything in the Emoji theme. For kids, they are just the updated version of the smiley face. They love them because they are silly and cheery. These stamps definitely fit that category. You need to remember though, that they are a stamp, and a solid color. This package has 50 stamps in it. In it you will find 10 different faces, and each face comes in 5 color choices. They are not scented. Each stamp is individually wrapped, so they arrive in great shape, not dried up. The down side to this is that I needed scissors to unwrap each stamp. The colors included in this set are: pink, blue, green, red, and purple. Since each one is sealed, you can use these as party favors. You can give the set to a teacher for marking papers. Or, you can just let your kids enjoy and have fun crafting with them. They do have small caps, so they would be a choking hazard for little ones. The box is not stamped non-toxic anywhere, either. But, for older children, these are a lot of fun. I got ink all over my fingers opening them for the first time. It washed off your hands very well. I was actually able to wipe the excess right off with a napkin as well. It’s a pretty nifty set overall.

It’s puzzle time. – Yagoozon’s Emoji Universe: 1000-Piece Emoji Jigsaw Puzzle.

I grew up in a house with a puzzle nut. My mom used to do them all of the time. They are fun, challenging, mentally stimulating, and a hobby that you can do with everyone in your family. Some puzzles are more challenging than others. This is a challenging puzzle, and a large one at that. It is a 1000 pieces of yellow. That is what makes it harder than a lot of other puzzles. The first thing my mom said when she saw this puzzle, was, “Wow, that’s a hard puzzle to do.” I would have to agree fully with her. The puzzle pieces look just like other puzzles we have. The edges were stamped out well. They are clean and even. The measurement of the puzzle when finished is: 26’ x 19.75 inches. I did not have a box of what I call, Puzzle Dust. Which is really just puzzle piece remnants from the factory. The puzzle always feels unclean to me after that. I had no issue with that with this puzzle. The pieces are sealed in a plastic bag, inside this box, upon arrival. This is a good quality puzzle, and definitely with the times.

Such a verstaile shoe bench. – Songmics High-Low-Seat 2-Tier Entryway Shoe Bench w’ Boot Storage.

I like having a bench to sit on to do shoes, wait for everyone to get ready, etc.. They end up being very handy in a home. This one is so different from what I am used to seeing. It has an even smaller bench seat on the end of it. If you have a toddler, this end would be perfect. You could sit your little one down there while putting on their shoes. If you don’t have a little one, you can place a pretty basket, or plant in that spot. This shoe bench doesn’t arrive assembled. That is up to you. It is pretty easy to assemble though, no skill required. The directions included are pretty clear. They even include the special Allen wrench you will need to assemble the entire bench. My bench arrived in pretty good shape. My bag of hardware had opened up in transit. I scoured the box to make sure I had all of the screws, and then went over my pieces. Only one leg needed some tinkering prior to assembly. The plastic foot needed to be hammered in a little. That’s all I had to fix. The screws screw way past the holes, but, they are pretty well hidden inside of the bench. You would have to look underneath this to see them. Assembled, it does look just like the ad.

Once assembled, it easily handles my weight, and my son’s, at the same time. You can fit 5 large pairs of shoes underneath of it, as well as a pair of Cowboy Boots. I love that they included a space for boots. My guys love their boots, be it Cowboy boots or work boots. You could however, get baskets to fit on these shelves, and store things like hats, gloves, and scarves in them. It’s a pretty piece, and you can be creative with it. You can use it at the food of your bed, and store extra blankets and slippers on the shelves. This bench was built to hold up to 400lbs. They used pretty hardy hardware, so I can see that weight limit on this bench. This bench measures out at 44 ½ inches long x 11 inches deep x just under 18 inches tall. The short bench is 12 ½ inches tall. It’s a great, usable size. The material used to make this bench is Pine wood. I received mine in black, and I love the look. They also have it available on the same page, in a dark brown. Overall, it’s a solid bench with great storage possibilities. If you do not mind assembling your own furniture, then I am comfortable recommending this piece.

Such a versatile shirt. – PrettyGuide s Women OL Bow Tie Neck Button Down Shirt Blouse Tops.

Dress attire, work attire, play attire, etc.., can get you into the same old, same old routine. It’s fun to try new styles. This particular shirt is a little unique with its built in collar tie adornment. It has a beautiful drape to it as well. This is a very feminine shirt. I think it’s simple and pretty. You can let it hang out or tuck it in. The material is not see thru, so you don’t have to worry about wearing a camisole underneath it. I find it to fit true to size to their size chart. I feel that this shirt looks great with jeans to dress pants. I love pieces like this. This is soft against the skin, yet has that smooth, crisp texture to it. This shirt is made out of 95% Polyester and 5% spandex. All of the stitching on my shirt was done tight and on point. My button holes on the cuffs were a little tight at first though, but loosened up quickly. There was no odor to my shirt upon arrival either. It arrived in perfect condition. I picked the green color for the shirt. I just thought it was so different and fun. It is also available though, in white and black. It measures 25 inches from shoulder to outside he. It measures 28 inches over all in length. The bottom is gently rounded, which make it a pretty look left to hang loose as well. It’s a great work, play shirt.

Be prepared! – Heimdall’s Mini Size Led Headlamp Flashlight with Red Light.

Headlamps are good for work, play, and emergencies. They are a great source of light, because they allow you to have light while keeping your hands free. My guys wear them a lot for work as commercial electricians, and we make sure we have at least one per person in our home, in case of emergency. The size of this one is small, and very lightweight. It only requires the one head strap, and 1 AA battery to operate. My headlamp arrived with 1 Duracell AA battery. No tool is necessary to access the battery compartment. It’s part of the headlamp, and opens easily. The band is a soft and comfortable, and easy to adjust. Both the housing of the light and the links on the strap are made out of plastic. This is a 6 mode light: High, Medium, Low, SOS, Red, and Red flashing. It can take a little practice to move through the modes. If you go slowly, you are only going to get: High, Medium, or Low. To get to SOS, you need to move through the modes without stopping. If you go slowly, you will just get off, and low mode. Now, to get to the red lights, which are the two lights on the left and right side of the main, white LED center light, you need to press and hold. You can do this anywhere in the cycle. This light does not have memory. It will come back on it bright mode. On high, this is a 115 lumen light. The beam comes off from center for the white light. It’s not a tight beam. I know that matters for light junkies, like my older son. However, he did state that overall he liked the light due to its modes and size. It’s highly convenient for easy usage due to its size. Also with this headlamp, you get a very convenient storage case. Most headlamps do not come with cases like this one. It really makes it highly portable. It can be banged around while in this case, and you’ll be hard-pressed to hurt the light. It has a carabineer on it as well, so you can clip it to your belt loop, pack and more. It also has an IPX6 water resistance rating. Getting caught out in the rain will be ok with this headlamp. You can also adjust the lights angle. The headlamp can be pulled from the base plate, in a down ward motion only. So, for example, if you are working on your engine, you can tilt it downwards to light up the area you need to. Overall, it’s a solid working light. It’s compact, and comfortable to wear and use. My favorite part is the storage case.

Adults can color too! – Vanilla Colorings Adult Coloring Books.

Adult coloring books are the new craze. It really is relaxing. I’ve always enjoyed coloring with my kids, so it’s nice to be able to do something adult. Even as kids get older, they still like to draw and doodle as well. My son enjoys it, but at age 8, he finds most coloring books very babyish. This book is a great size. It measures out at 8 ½” x 8 5/8ths inches. It can fit into your bag on the go, and is an easy size to work with on a tray or your lap. Each page only has a picture on one side. You do not have to worry about bleed through from the picture on the back this way. The pictures are so highly detailed it’s amazing. I will say, you will need a pencil sharpener, lol. There is so much tiny detail to color in, that you will definitely need a sharpened pencil to do it. The pictures are printed in black, on white paper. They have it done, where you can use an Exacto knife, to remove a page out of the book, so it can be framed. The square pages are great for this. The designs are animal and flower inspired. There is one page with Bald Eagles built into the design too. Other animals are Butterflies, Owls, Pandas, Elephants, Birds, and more. There is something for everyone in the family this way. This is a great quality, and very affordable adult coloring book. I feel very comfortable recommending it.
