The emjoi balls from Yagoozon are here!

Standard

12 inch emoji 1

Balls, balls, balls. They are everywhere at my house. We are officially Emoji Central here, lol. Emoji’s are so popular right now too. Both my 21 year old and 8 year old enjoy them. I have noticed that emoji’s have no age limit. They’re part of our culture right now. I’m thrilled that they are at least cheery to look at. They are safe enough to be played with in home. Which is great, because we all tend to get hit in the face, and or items around the house too. This is a set of 12, and they are 12″ in diameter. The have the usual pull out valve to blow up. These are just like the traditional striped beach ball, but with an emoji instead. You will get a random mix of emoji’s in your package. They are clean cut, silly and fun. Great for the whole family. Since you get a pack of 12, these would be great for goody bags, party favors, Easter baskets, pool party, and more. You can hang them up with fishing line for a fun party decoration. I so have not blown them all up! I surely do not have enough room in my house for that. The ones we do have inflated have been put through the Austin test. He has kicked, squished, thrown, tossed, rolled, and beat on these balls. They have been doing great. I haven’t had any split seams, or over leaking going on. They truly work like a traditional beach ball. My 8 year old is thrilled. They are just so cheery to look at.

Summertime fun and fads are synonymous. Emoji’s are hot right now too. It’s the modern twist on the smiley face. I’ve noticed that age doesn’t matter either.

Yea! Prextex Easter Egg Baskets

Standard

Easter is almost here. It’s so early this year too. Even though I know it’s coming, I feel like it’s sneaking up on me as well, lol. Time to prepare, and time to gather baskets. This set of 3 are made out of plastic. I like the basket weave design on them. The handles move freely, and they are the snap on type. You can remove them if you wanted to. I like that they arrive in 3 different colors. The colors are pink, yellow, and orange. They are vibrant and cheery. These are great for families with multiple kids, Easter egg hunts, coworker gifts, neighbor gifts, and more. If you have older kids, these are also a great option. After Easter is over, they can either paint, or attach ribbon around the rim of the basket, to cover up the Easter design. Then they can place their hair care products, like hair spray, gel, hair brush, etc.. in it. You can also store hair ribbons, beaded bracelets, and the like in these. These baskets are light weight, and easy to wash off. So, they are perfect for traveling to Grandmas, and for Easter egg hunts. Right now mine have become part of the Easter decor. Each rim has different designs on them: Easter eggs, Bunnies, and Chicks with flowers. There is something for everybody.

So healthy for you skin. – Foxbrim’s 100% Pure Organic Castor Oil.

Standard

I love to make my own products. I have been using organic Castor Oil in my homemade shampoo and lotion for a couple years now. So, I was thrilled to be able to test out Foxbrim’s Organic Castor Oil. It may only be a 4oz bottle, but it is chemical, and hexane free. I love organic products, because you have no chemical worries to deal with. Castor oil has so many wonderful qualities. It has antifungal, antibacterial, and anti-inflammatory qualities. It helps to promote both Elastin and Collagen production as well. It is just a dream beauty product for both skin and hair. You can use it on your hair, skin, lips, cracked heals, sunburn, dandruff, under eyes, eyebrows, and eye lashes. It has a bad rap for only being used for constipation, lol. This product has little scent to it. It is so faint, and only has a light and natural scent. It works beautifully in my homemade products. This particular oil has a thick consistency, but does get absorbed nicely into the skin. It cuts well with other oils. It mixes nicely with coconut oil, and avocado oil, as well as grapeseed and more. A 1 to 1 mixture is great with coconut oil, and it’s great to rub on sunburn that way. It’s also great to just use as is. You can rub it directly on your lips like a lip gloss. It is sheer conditioner for them. This is a beautiful, natural product. I am very comfortable recommending it.

So soft and comfy. – Nestl Bedding’s Microfiber Duvet Cover Set.

Standard

There is something about white bedding that makes your bed look comfy like a cloud, and serene like a high end hotel room. I have had 3 boys, and I can never have anything pure white, so maybe that is why it speaks to me like this. This duvet set is made out of 100% Microfiber. I tried to research once what that material is, and I couldn’t find an answer, lol. I haven’t looked since. I do know, that there are grades of it in regards to thickness. This is a medium grade thickness from my experience. I have purchased sheets in the past, and after the first wash, some areas were paper thin. This duvet set washed and dried beautifully for me. In my opinion, they look better after the first wash and dry. They look fluffier, and feel so soft to the touch. I had a few thread to be trimmed, but that is it. I had no odor, holes, or stains on my duvet set upon arrival.

I ordered this set is white, but they also have it available in Sage Green, Aqua Light Blue, Beige Cream, Camel Yellow Gold, and Grey. There are also other sizes available: Twin, Full, King, and California King. This Queen duvet measures out at 90” x 90” and has a button closure. They include 2 pillow shams with a 1 ½ inch edge. They measure out at 20″ inches x 26″ inches. Duvets and pillow shams are great for keeping out dust mites, etc.. It forms an additional barrier and is easy to wash and dry more frequently.

A lot of people don’t like Duvets because they can be difficult to put on. Turn it inside out, and grab it by the bottom. Slowly work it onto the bottom of your comforter, and then you can start to peel the rest up and over the comforter. It’s so much easier to do it this way.

Overall I’m pretty happy with this set. I have a couple areas where the stitching isn’t perfectly straight, but overall the stitching was done well. These non-perfect areas are on the shams, by where the material flaps over. I am comfortable recommending it. You will definitely be cozy curling up with this set.

Time for fishing! – Booms Fishing M1 Black Oxide Fishing Pliers.

Standard

Boom Fishing and I are not new acquaintances. I am very pleased with their products. So far my fishing products have been well made and user friendly. This set of fishing pliers has not disappointed. It has to be my favorite pair as of yet from them. We live by the coast, and we do a lot of pier fishing. These are perfect. They have so many tools built into the handles, and they are easy to retrieve and use as well. This specific fishing plier multi-tools, has been treated with a black oxidation treatment on the surface. This, over the D2 Stainless Steel, forms a dense layer of oxide film that protects it from corrosion and rust. These pliers are made out of thickened D2 stainless. They are a sturdy pair of fishing pliers with a great, solid grip built into them. These pliers come with a Nylon Sheath with belt loop, and a lanyard. My guys need the lanyard attachment. They always lose their fishing pliers on the pier, lol. The tools built into these pliers are: Line/Wire cutter, Bottle Opener, #4 Crimper, Flathead Screwdriver, Split Tings, D2 knife, Phillips Head Screwdriver, Awl, Saw, File, Can Opener, Lanyard Ring. They also come with a lifetime guarantee! I love how well these pliers cut through our braided line. They cut though them like butter. They really function perfectly. They are smooth moving, and a solid build. I love how they included the lanyard in this set. I am very, very comfortable recommending this product.

Nothing beats chillin with your BarSpout’s TOP RATED Beer Chiller Cooler Sticks.

Standard

I would say summer time is coming, and these will be perfect, but, we have been using chiller sticks year round. We like icy cold drinks. These sticks are so easy to use too. We store our in the freezer and just grab one when we want to use one. I am very happy with the quality of these BarSpout’s Chiller Cooler Sticks. They are thick and sturdy, and fit a regular beer, or glass soda bottle, perfectly. You get two in this package. They are made out of Austenetic Stainless Steel, which just means that there is a “solid solution of carbon in a nonmagnetic form of iron.” This just means that it’s frame stays stable at extreme temperatures as well. There is a seal on the underside lip of the chiller stick. It forms a great seal, and you will not have your drink leak out from underneath it. I spill enough on my own. So, I would never use anything that’s going to spill for me, lol.

You can place them into the freezer prior to using them. You do not need to leave them in the freezer like I do. Place them in the freezer at least 45 minutes prior to needing them. When you place these into your drinks, make sure you take a few sips of the drink first. Otherwise, the drinks tend to overflow with the introduction of these ice cold chiller sticks, and fast too. Let’s say you took your drink out, took a couple sips, that got busy on a call. Your drink gets warm. So, just throw one of these into your drink, and within approx. 6 minutes, your drink will definitely be cooler again. These sticks will also lengthen the amount of time your drink will be cool. That is why I like them. I am a sipper, and I like cold drinks only. This is the best way to keep a drink cooler without icing it down and diluting it. No, these chiller sticks to not change the flavor of your drink. Yes, they are really comfortable to drink out of too. These are BPA free, and will not leach any chemicals into your drink. I love using them, and I am very comfortable recommending them. I just wish they sold them in larger packs.

No photoboming here. – Mohoo’s 3x5ft Photography Backdrop

Standard

Everyone dabbles in photography without even realizing it. If you love to take photos of our friends, children, fur babies, and more, than you dabble in photography. I also like to do videos at home, and my son wants to start doing some as well. I always thought that buying a backdrop would be expensive. I was wrong though. I really like the white washed brick design of this backdrop, along with the weathered wood floors. It’s a style that speaks to me, and goes with virtually any color. The size is 3ft wide by 5ft long. The material this particular backdrop is made out of is a thin vinyl, but it reminds me of a thin canvas material, in texture. For some reason, when I think of vinyl, I think of shower curtains, lol. This is far from that. I do wish that this had arrived wrapped around a tube. It arrives fully folded, and it is sooooooooo hard to get the fold marks out, initially. I never tried ironing it. I was afraid I would melt it. I put it into my dryer alone, for a few minutes only, and it took most of the fold marks out, but then it was a tiny bit wrinkly, lol. (Insert silent scream here.) It takes time and patience, and the wrinkles start to fade. As a backdrop, It’s great for portrait/still style photos due to the smaller size. Mine arrived with no odor. It had a couple threads to trim off. It is not seamed or stitched on the ends. I will continue to use it. It’s a little on the thin side, so you will need to be careful about light filtering through the backside. If you have a stand with a plain background on it, you can then attach this one in front of it, and then you won’t have an issue with light bleeding through. Otherwise, it really does not lend itself to professional photography.

Simply elegant. – OMyTea’s Portable Travel Tea Set – 100% Handmade.

Standard

When you think of tea, you never really think of travel and tea in the same thought process. I am so impressed by this tea set. You can actually make your special teas while traveling, and make it feel like you are having high tea, lol. You will definitely feel special drinking out of this tea set. It is quite impressive. This OMyTeas’ Travel Tea Set comes with its own storage/travel bag, 2 teacups, 1 teapot with attached lid, bamboo serving tray, and serving mat. All you have to supply is hot water and tea leaves. You can even use loose tea leaves with this set. The serving spout is slotted, so you can pour the tea without the leaves going into your cup. This set is handmade, and it’s gorgeous. I can’t express enough how pretty it is. It’s like a piece of art. The tea cups are small. You can even drink your espresso out of them. The teapot’s lid is attached by a cord with beautiful beads on it. It’s stunning. You will need to use the cloth to help you handle the pot at first. The teapot and cups are made out of porcelain. So, they do get hot to the touch. I love hot tea, and can handle the cups. I would, however, use the cloth to help you hold the pot to pour it, when you first serve your tea. It will cool down over time. I love the rich black color, but they even offer it in a light green and white.

The case is thick and sturdy, and is filled with thick foam. The cut outs are there for the two teacups and the teapot. There is a netted pocket on the inside of the lid, and the tray just lies on top of the teapot area. The zipper on the bag works really well, and the bag has a long wrist strap type handle on it. This is one of those treasured items that you take really great care of and use for years. It’s a beautiful set.

The perfect essential oil diffuser necklace. – Alaia Int. Essential Oil Diffuser Necklace.

Standard

I am a huge essential oil user. They are a big part of my life, as well as my family’s. Essential oils offer immense health benefits, as well as being an all-natural way to make you smell wonderful. This necklace is a great addition to my essential oil repertoire. I have started using Eucalyptus oil in my locket. It’s great for opening the sinuses and airways. My guys love the scent too, since it is all natural. It kind of speaks to men. Another great one that I like to use is lavender. You can really never go wrong with lavender. Natural lavender is more mild, and not overly sweetened like commercial products. It helps give you a sense of wellbeing as well.

You get three thick felt pads with this necklace. The pendant has a 1 inch diameter, and opens from the side. Place a few drops of your preferred oil on a pad, and place it in the holder. This necklace and chain are made out of surgical grade stainless steel. The chain is a 24” chain, and it has a lobster claw clasp on it. I personally find the Lobster Claw clasp to be one of the easiest to do yourself, and find them to be very secure. The chain on this necklace is very pretty by itself. It reflects a lot of light, and really shines on it’s own. The locket is so pretty with its cutout flower design. You really can’t go wrong with this set up. I absolutely love it.
