The perfect pizza cutter. – Checkered Chef’s Pizza Cutter.

I have insane food allergies and cook almost everything from scratch. That includes my pizza dough as well. I have finally got my pizza dough down pat, and it’s fun to make for my family. I have the usual wheel type pizza cutter, so I was very intrigued with this one. This Checkered Chef pizza cutter will make you feel like a professional. It’s a solid piece of stainless steel, and makes cutting a pizza a breeze. The blade on this cutter is actually pretty sharp for a factory edge. It sliced through my pizza so easily. You just rock it through. This pizza cutter is 14.4 inches long, and 4.2 inches tall. It is made out of 18/0 stainless steel. It’s a breeze to keep clean. Stainless doesn’t naturally harbor mold, fungus, or bacteria. That is one reason why it’s so popular with professional chefs. It can take a beating, and go through the dishwasher. It should last you a very long time. You can cut thinner cakes with it as well, like cheesecake, coffee cake, and the like. One big difference I noticed is that when I was cutting my pizza, it didn’t pull the cheese like my wheel pizza cutter does. Sometimes the wheeled one will almost pull the pizza off a slice of pizza, and I have to push it back on. I did not have that issue with this one yet. I definitely believe the claims that it won’t pull off your toppings. It’s a very well made pizza cutter. It even comes with a great sheath to keep the blade protected. I am very comfortable recommending this product.

Perfect mattress protection. – Nestl Bedding’s Mattress Encasement, Cal King.

We have never slept on a mattress without some type of mattress protector. If you think about it, you can never truly clean a mattress. You have it for years too. So, over time, you have a ton of dust, dust mites, dead skin cells, and allergens build up in your mattress; yuck! This is a different type of mattress protector too. It encases your entire mattress. Talk about the ultimate protection. I suggest using a slip on mattress protector over this one. It is easier to wash a slip on one, and then you have the ultimate protection for your mattress. It should definitely help lengthen your mattress life. This particular mattress encasement is made out of polyester that has been laminated in polyurethane. The zipper on this mattress protector was done well. All of the stitching was done tight and on point, and there was no odd odor to this product upon arrival. This material is actually pretty soft as well. It is not a noisy fabric either. It won’t add that annoying rustling sound to your bed. I hate that. The two sides are different. One side is a softer stretchier side, and the other is the coated side. You cannot mistake them. Standing the mattress on end will make it easier to put on. This unit is water resistant not waterproof. I am really happy with the quality of construction. They do offer it in all sizes as well, even Twin XL. Mine arrived in perfect condition. I am comfortable recommending this product.

Full protection for your mattress from Goodgram on Amazon.

I can’t even imagine not using a mattress protector on a mattress. We grew up using them, and we always use them now as well. It’s a great way to limit the dust and dead skin cells from gathering in your mattress. They really help prolong the life of your mattress’ as well. It’s really impossible to actually clean and disinfect a mattress through and through. Surface cleaning is what is really going on. Nowadays we have bed bugs, and creepy crawlies to contend with. The whole thought of that is beyond gross. This mattress protector can actually be your third layer of protection since it’s not padded. Your mattress fits inside of it, and zippers shut. It’s an encasement for your mattress. This particular mattress protector is from Goodgram’s. It’s made out of 100%polyester. I have problems with that fabric, so I would have to use a regular mattress protector over that. Since your mattress has to fit entirely inside of this product, I recommend it anyway. It’s not convenient to just take this off and wash it. You do not have to worry about shrinkage with this though because of what it is made out of. They call this a triple protection layer: waterproof, allergen resistant, and bed bug resistant. It is really waterproof too. I poured a ton of water on it, and it just on top of it like a puddle; too cool. There is minimal stitching overall on this unit, but what there is was done tight and on point. It has that faint, normal sent to a polyester fabric like this. Nothing strong or out of the ordinary. Overall, I find this mattress protector to be a solid form of protection for your mattress. They offer it in all sizes as well. The particular one that I tested, was in full size.

Cable management with Airsspu’s Desktop Cable Management Cable Organizer.

I was afforded the opportunity to review Airsspu Desktop Cable Management Cable Organizer for power cords and charging accessory cables, black, in exchange for an unbiased and honest review. This product arrives as shown.

This little guy is actually quite heavy. I knew it was weighted, but I was still surprised. The outside has a rubber coating, but when you turn it over you can see the metal threading in case you want to mount it. So, it is obviously metal on the inside. This holder will help keep up to 4 wires more organized, and thus hopefully, tangled free. This holder does not hold onto thin USB wires in a snug manner. They are loose fitting, but they remain there as they should. If you position this, where you would be moving the wires in an upward motion a lot, they will come out if they are thinner wires. I hate getting my wires tangled. I test a lot of items, and I am always moving and inter changing plugs and USB wires. This does help the insanity when you have multiple wires in a small space. Just position it well. I like how small it is, it really doesn’t take up much space at all. It measures out at just over 3 inches long and just under 2 inches wide. It is definitely a durable and long lasting piece.

A Smart switch for the bathroom! – Top Greener’s Enerlites DWHOS-W Humidity / PIR Motion Sensor Switch.

.I am not new to Top Greener’s electrical equipment. We are very pleased with the quality. This particular Enerlite Light and Humidity Control switch is pretty wild. They even offer a 5-year warranty with it. I was happy to see that this particular product lives up to the quality I was used to with their products. This unit even had its wires clearly labeled. You will need to provide your own wall plate for it. They do provide, however, 6 wire nuts to help you get the job done.

First let’s start by saying safety First. Be sure to turn off the breaker to the circuits prior to trying to connect the switch. That being said, this switch is very useful. It is equipped with two sensors: a motion sensor and a humidity sensor. Both are designed to turn on automatically. These would be connected to the lights and the fan, in any bathroom of your choice. On the rear of the switch are 6 wires: one ground wire-green, one neutral wire-white, two line ins-1 black & 1 blue, and two load outs-1 red & 1 brown. If you have separate power coming in for the fan and the light, you can use each individual line in. However, if you only have one power feed you would need to connect both line ins to the same power, then connect the loads to the respective load. It’s that simple, cover with a standard rocker switch wall plate and enjoy.

This unit arrives with factory settings. The directions included are pretty clear, and spell out clearly how to switch it to quick installation mode, if you want to. So, you will either have a 15-second or 30-minute delay. This unit is great, especially for smaller bathrooms, where humidity can build up fast. That in turn can build mold up. I am highly allergic to mold, so I am very happy with this unit. My kids never turn on the fan. With this, I do not have that worry anymore. I even forget to turn it on. So many times I get into the shower, and then half way through, the shower starts to get really stuffy. When the humidity builds up the fan goes on, and after it clears up, it just turns of on its own. You will get so spoiled by this. Why they don’t make bathroom fans with this feature is beyond me.

White Kidney Bean supplement, Baby! – Lean Health’s White Kidney Bean Extract -1500 Extreme Natural and Pure Carb Blocker.

This is an interesting product. My mom has already been taking White Kidney Bean extract now and then for their great carb blocking properties. This particular product has much more than just White Kidney Bean. It also contains Garcinia Cambogia, Apple Cider Vinegar, Chitosan, and Aloe Vera as well. I personally took Garcinia Cambogia for weight control a couple years ago. You hit 40 and your metabolism slows down, lol. It helped. The white kidney bean is a great for carb control also. As supplements go, I take organic apple cider vinegar daily. It has helped my health tremendously. I was so happy to see it in this pill also. Chitosan is newer to me. It’s an interesting product, that has many, many uses from commercial uses to supplements. It is derived from adding alkali sodium hydroxide to shellfish, like shrimp and crabs. It is still questionable, but the hopes are that Chitosan helps limit fat absorption. And, last but not least, Aloe Vera. I love that stuff. It is also so good for you. I just finished drinking an Aloe Vera drink myself. Overall, this supplement is actually healthy for you. It is being touted as a way to help suppress your appetite, and help you in your diet. It is made in the US as well, in GMP certified facilities. A serving is 2 capsules, and you get 60 in the bottle. There are some fillers in it: Calcium Carbonate, Gelatin, Magnesium, Titanium Dioxide, FD & C Blue #1. I do wish they wouldn’t add the dye. It’s not needed at all. They are using it to dye the capsules. It is so unnecessary, and deters me from a lot of supplements. I’m an all-natural kind of girl. As supplements go, it’s not too shabby. We take a lot of the ingredients separately already. It’s nice having them all in one.

A fun knife from Elemental Knives.

Recently, I had my car broken into, and had my being prepared supplies, and self-defense supplies stolen from me. That included my knife unfortunately. So, I was thrilled to be able to review this beauty. This is my first personal knife done in this design. This design is great for show and self-defense. It has a solid grip, a great sheath, and lanyard; perfect for neck carry. It’s a Hawkbill design, and the blade is also full tang as well. This knife is made out of 420 stainless steel. It’s pretty thick and sturdy; not a flimsy, bendy knife in the least. It arrived pretty sharp, but definitely has a factory edge. Pretty much what I expected. Another pro for this knife, is that it also comes with a solid sheath with lanyard hole. That way, when you are wearing it in neck carry mode, you just need to grab the handle, and with a quick tug, the knife is free to defend yourself. The blade on this knife is a 3.5” blade. You will need to check your state laws to make sure this is legal in your state. I’m lucky, it’s legal in mine. The ABS and fiberglass handle is comfortable to hold and it affords a solid grip. There is also a finger hole at the end of the knife. This knife measures 7 ½” in total length. It’s still pretty light at 3.83oz. I like the thumb grip on it. It’s comfortable, but really helps to ensure a solid grip. The finish on the blade and finger hole is pretty sharp looking. This is my first knife with the blade done with a design like this. I find it to be a lot of fun. This knife has found a home in my car. I am glad I have been able to replace my self-defense knife in my vehicle. Now I just need to replace my basic pocket knife.

Cotton comfort. – Dimore’s Men’s Full Cut Briefs Cotton Underwear Briefs Elastic Waistband 5 Pack.

Cotton always feels great against our skin. It’s soft, and moves with your body. It lets your skin breathe, which is also healthier for your skin. It allows your body to feel fresher, for longer. There really is no better material for underwear. This 5 pack of men’s underwear by Dimore is made out of 100% Ring Spun Cotton. The waist band is a wide 1 ¼” elastic waist band. It is soft to the touch and flexible. It also feels great against your skin. They have their logo placed around it, in a bolder, more modern style. All of the stitching on our pack of undies was done tight and on point. They arrived very clean, and with no odor to them whatsoever. These underwear do have a fly to them. So many are being made without nowadays. The colors in this pack are Navy Blue, White, Black, Grey, and Denim Blue. These are not your regular tighty whities, lol. They actually have some life and design to them. We find them to run true to size, which is always a relief. They are made to move with you, and not to ride up on you, with their reinforced leg bands. These underwear wash well too. We haven’t been able to find any negatives with this underwear. They are made well, and so soft and comfortable.

Great sound quality. – Vomach’s Bluetooth Earphones.

We use Bluetooth headphones all of the time in my household. They are well loved, lol. My guys live and breathe with them, since they can use them at work and for working out. They always need to be able to take calls as well. With Bluetooth headphones like these, they can continue to work and drive, and still take calls from inspectors, head of the company, clients and more. These headphones are perfect for them, and very slick looking. The design is very modern, and professional. These Vomach Bluetooth Earphones come with a small micro USB charging cable, and 2 pairs of extra silicone earbuds. The controls are on the right ear. The micro USB charging port is on the left ear. The controls are on the right ear are a +, – and multipurpose button. The multipurpose button is on the top, and the other two buttons are on the backside of your ear. This is pretty easy to remember. These headphones have Bluetooth CSR V4.1 technology. You can even connect to two items at the same time. After you connect with the first item, turn off your Bluetooth. Then connect the second item. Now, go ahead and turn the Bluetooth back on the first item. The sound quality is pretty great, it really is. They have noise isolation as well. Lol, I keep yelling at people when I talk while the music is playing. The bass and instrumental sound well balanced, and clear. Music is really enjoyable with this set up. These talk to you, so there is no guessing. It states things like: Power On, Pairing, Power Off, and it even spells out the incoming call. On the right ears’ + button and – buttons, you long press these to adjust the volume, and short press to either move forward in your play list or restart your song. For the price point these are at, they are awesome. You can get about the usual 30ft away from these, just not down the hallway, around corners, or behind doors. These do get about 5hours of playtime, less if you play the music really loud. If you only use these for calls, maybe closer to 6 hours of battery life. These have in internal 80mAh battery. These also get 200 hours of standby time, and only take a 1 ½ hours to charge. Not too shabby. I really like these headphones.
