The perfect pans! – Green Earth Frying Pan 3-Piece Set by Ozeri.

I love, love, love Ozeri pans. I use them all of the time. They are dependable, cook evenly, and are easy to clean. They are thick, and durable, and a joy to cook on. This set of 3 Ozeri pans really gives you all the sizes a family will need. In this set you will get 1 – 8” pan, 1 – 10” pan, and 1 – 12” pan. They are fairly deep too. Not shallow like the usual pans on the market. The coating on these pans is pretty awesome, if you ask me. They all have a honeycomb pattern and texture to it, and are coated with a ceramic non-stick coating. This coating is quite impressive. It is a green product too. The coating is 100% PTFE, PFOA and APEO free. Which means it is heavy metal and chemical free!!!!! I love that. I have an insane amount of life threatening allergies, mainly related to food, and all of the preservatives and chemicals used in the industry. I have no issues with these pans whatsoever. This set even comes with thick felt pads to line the pans, so you can stack them together for easy storage, and not have to worry about damaging the coating. These pans are also aluminum pans. You can cook anything in these pans. I have cooked homemade spaghetti sauce in the large one, browned roasts, cooked different kinds of meats, made grilled cheese, pancakes, hot dogs, eggs, and omelets, and more in these pans. All without issue. My spaghetti sauce didn’t even splatter which really surprised me. It normally splatters in the other pots I make it in. These pots are really easy to clean as well. Wash it like any other nonstick surface, with a non-abrasive cleaner. Just make sure you use a degreaser soap to make sure the surface was really cleaned of grease residue. A build up will eliminate the most wanted, nonstick qualities. I personally, have never had this issue, and I just use Dawn dish soap. The handle is thick, and very durable. It is also well attached to the pan. You will not get any bending with these handles. They are each attached by two heavy duty rivets. (that’s what they look like to me.) The handles are silicone coated, afford a great grip, and don’t get hot to the touch. And, if you are lucky enough to have an induction stove, you are in luck. These pans even work with an induction cook top. They have a magnetized induction stove safe base for rapid heat transfer. I have a travel, single burner, induction cook top, and I can use these on it! For those of you that want lids, they do sell the separately. I rarely want a lid for my pans, so I haven’t ordered one yet. They are glass lids though, and also sold on Amazon. I can tell you from my personal experience over the past year that I have owned Ozeri pans. The green ceramic nonstick coating they use is more durable and more scratch resistant that regular nonstick pans. They truly cook evenly, and do a great job on my food. I have nothing but love for this product, and truly recommend them.

Time to organize. – YoYo Moon’s Wall Mounted Mop and Broom Holder.

I am not new to this style of wall mounted broom holders. I like them. This one has not let me down in my expectations, either. You can use these to hold more than brooms too. This particular broom holder from YoYo Moon on Amazon, is a wall mount unit. It is made out of thick plastics, and comes with all mounting hardware needed. It has slots to hold 5 items, and hooks to hold an additional 6 items. You can store a lot of things on this baby if you mount it right, lol. Don’t add a lot of weight to it, if you haven’t mounted it to your studs. You can hang it on the back of doors, cabinets, in a garage, shed, and on walls. The screws are screwed in from the front of the unit, which makes it really easy to do too. They do include wall anchors, as well. The holes to mount it are big enough to shove the tip of a thin pen or pencil through them. This way you can mark where you need to screw the holes, once you have them level. They have great instructions printed right on the box. This really helps get those cumbersome and ugly everyday household needs, up and out of the way. It is even weatherproof, so you can hang it outside to organize pool tools, and or kid play toys. It is really handy. This organizer measures out at 16” long, and just under 2 ½” wide. It sticks out from the wall about 3 ½”, not including when you pull the hooks down. Anything that has a handle, like a golf club, handle end of a baseball bat, skimmer tools for pools, etc.. can fit in the slots. Each slot has a roller ball in it that adjusts to the width of the handle; a great design. Each gripper can hold up to 7lbs also. If you are looking for an organizer like this, this is a no brainer. It’s priced under $10.00, and delivered to your door. I love that. Simple pleasures, lol.

Just hanging around. – Primode’s Motorized Tie Rack With LED Lights.

I love these tie organizers. I have been married for years, and ties are always an issue to store. They are delicate, and need to be hung, or properly rolled and stored perfectly. This is such an ingenious way to store many ties in a tight area. I do not live in a mansion, and storage is always an issue. And, not only can you store up to 50 ties on this rack, but it will also hold belts. So perfect for any man, and woman, if you own a lot of belts. This electric tie rack measures out at 12” long x 6 ¼” wide, and 4 ½” thick. So, not a bad size at all. It runs off of 4 C batteries, and unfortunately, they are not included. I didn’t have them handy before my tie rack arrived: insert pout here. That was my fault. It states that in their add, lol. So, be ready, or be ready to pout. It’s actually pretty sleek and modern looking. It will not uglify your closet. I love that it has LED lighting on it. The lighting is on the entire front side of the rack. It is LED lighting, and does not heat up the unit. This unit only uses 5W of power too. The light really lets you know which tie you are picking out. For example, when you have 10 blue ties, lol. It has a great diffuser over the light, and won’t hurt your eyes as well. This rack fits on a closet rod, and has a clamp that tightens to secure it on the rod. If you don’t have a rod in your closet, see if you can add one, to be able to use this rack. The clamp screws up into the middle of the underside of the unit. There are three buttons on the front of the unit. A center power button, and a left and right button, to move and rotate the rack. It’s very simple to use. You press the arrow buttons to turn it on. You can press the power button to stop it from moving, and then to turn it off when you are done with it. It’s very easy to install as well. There is a black panel on the top of it. It comes off so you can place it on the pole, then just reattach it, and screw in the tightening knob underneath it. That’s all you need to do to attach it. I was happily surprised by how quiet it was. I thought it was going to be a lot louder than it actually is. My husband was actually surprised by the speed of it. Of course, when full of items, it does slow down some. This is definitely a much better to store my son’s ties. It really is a great tool for your closet.

Modern look. – BEIYI’s Towel Rail Rack Chrome Polished Stainless Steel Single Bar.

I never really think of updating things like towel bars. But, it is such an affordable and easy way to spruce up your bathrooms. Everything else in a bathroom is so expensive to update, when it comes to fixtures. We are planning on moving, and the home has a half bath in it. This towel bar from BEIYI on Amazon, is perfect for a half bath. I am so excited by it. It is a single towel bar, in that it would nicely hold one bath towel. It can and does hold two hand towels nicely too. I love, love, love the updated modern look of this towel rod. It is really nice looking to me. It is a chrome plated, stainless steel towel rod. It won’t rust on you. They even include all the hardware to mount it. It is lightweight though, which is perfect for me. They are so much easier to hang in awkward spots, if they are lightweight. If you have children that like to hang from your towel bars, this is not for you, lol. This towel bar is rated to hold up to 22lbs. So, a wet towel is fine. Kids, not so much. Of course, it all depends on how well you hang it too. I laugh at this because someone close to me hung her towel holders so well, they pop off the wall regularly, if you are not careful, lol. The towel bar itself measures out at 22 ½” long x just over 3 ¼” deep. The wall plates extend out a little further. This towel bar reminds me of the modern cabinet pulls seen in a lot of house renovations on TV. It’s a great sleek design, that I see will be timeless for our day and age. The guys in my house really like it also. Pay attention when you are mounting it. Remember to place the screw behind the mounting plate that extends through the middle of the plate. This is so you can attach the arm to it. When it arrives, it looks like one solid plate. Push in the center, and it will separate the two halves for you. Mine did not arrive with separate directions, but they have great photos on their ad page if you need it. Overall, I am really excited about this towel bar. It’s made really well. My set up has no flaws whatsoever to it.

Handmade LED mason jar candle light. – HAIMI’s Led Candle Light.

I love LEDs, and I love candles. This particular one is so cute too. If you are a mason jar nut, then you will really love it too. It’s a mini mason jar with screw on lid and LED tea light inside of it. So, whenever the LED candle runs out of life, you can easily replace it, and keep on rolling with this one. The jar measures out at 3 ½” tall and 2 ½” wide. It was done in the country/shabby chic styling. It has grape vines wrapped around it, and a sprig place inside with the tea light too. The one inside the jar can be a little annoying, lol. You need to pull it all the way out to remove the candle, to turn it on. I keep thinking I’m going to break it doing that, but so far so good. LEDs are so great. They are durable, eco-friendly, and last such a long time. The batteries will give out before the LED in the tea light. The installed batteries have a 30-hour lifespan, and can be replaced. It uses 3 little button batteries.

Each candle is handmade, and so may look a little different from the picture. You can use these anywhere, and around anyone. The give off no heat, or scent; just lovely light. You can place this on your desk at work, in the bathroom, and bedside. It is so portable. You can travel with it, and use it in your hotel room. You can use it camping too. This is nice to use out on your porch as well. If you get a few, you can safely place them throughout your home during a blackout. I think these would be so great on a mantle during the holidays with garland wrapped around them. Since they don’t use real fire, or put off heat, they are so safe to use. If you have people with bad allergies or asthma in the home, these are the healthier way to have soft, relaxing candle light in the home. You can even think receptions, banquets and weddings with these. You can’t use real fire at most event halls nowadays, due to insurance and fire hazard issues. With these, you’ll be good to go. I am really enjoying my candle from Haimi.

These will brighten your way. – South Platte Supply’s LED Safety Lights with Clip & Velcro Strap- (2 Pack).

Whether you have a runner in the family, or just a child that’s not too fond of the dark, these lights can be very helpful. My husband is our runner, and my youngest hates, hates, hates, the dark. Both can fully utilize these. I was intrigued by them, but now that I have them, I really, really like them. These lights are only 2 inches long and 1 inch wide, and they only weigh 2.2oz. You can either clip them on to your laces, belt, pack and more. Or, you can use the included stretchy Velcro straps, and wrap them around your arms, ankle, handlebars. Whatever works best for you. These lights each have a push on/off button on the top side of the light. So, they are easy to operate, and don’t have to be removed to turn them on or off. These are two mode lights. The first press turns them on to solid on, and the second press turns them onto their flashing mode. The third press turns them off. If you are cycling, the flashing mode really helps to get the attention of the cars on the road. You could put one on your outer arm, and one on the back of the bike, like a tail light. It’s weather resistant too, so you don’t have to worry about being caught out in the rain. This is a great set to put in your pack when you head out on a hike. If it starts to get dark, you can pull them out in a flash. It’s a very useful set. It really can be used from anything from fear of the dark to running, and safety.

Great craftmanship. – SmileZone Jewelry’s 8mm Brushed Matte Finish Beveled Polished Edge Men’s Tungsten Ring.

Jewelry is a great way to express yourself. You don’t have to be a woman to wear it either. I like seeing guys in jewelry. My husband wears other rings besides his wedding ring, and so do my 2 older sons. I really like this ring from SmileZone Jewelry. I ordered it for my husband in a 10 ½. I have a sizer chart from a Jeweler. It is true to size. They also have, on the ad page, a measuring guide for you to follow. It is actually easy to follow too. I love the ring I picked out for my husband. It has a lot of style without being too much. He can wear it as a wedding band, or regular ring. It’s a comfort fit ring too, and really smooth on it’s underside. It’s really comfortable on. He really likes it. It’s 8mm wide, and has the dual finish on it. This ring was made out of Tungsten Carbide. This metal is stronger and more durable than Stainless Steel, but not as strong as Titanium. It’s a really durable ring, and should last a really long time. This Tungsten ring resists scratches really well. We are not new to Tungsten rings, and this ring is thick and made quite well. It is not flimsy at all. There is no bending or denting this ring. If you do bend it or dent it, it was done with some force, and on purpose. Otherwise, your finger would be crushed with the ring, which would be horrible. The craftsmanship is apparent in this ring. I really can’t believe the price. You really can’t beat it. It’s currently priced at $14.99 which I think is amazing. The ring arrives in a very handsome gift box as well. So, it really makes a great gift. They are even offering the ring in sizes 7.5 to 12. I really can’t say enough positive. It’s a great ring.

Update your outlets with TOPGREENER’s TU1152QC Quick Charge 2.0 Dual USB Charger Outlet, 36W,15A TR Tamper Resistant.

Is your home taken over by electronics! I know our home is. I love that we can update our outlets now too. We already have multiport USB adapters all over the house. It is so much nicer to be able to just plug into a wall outlet! So much less clutter, and bulk wires running everywhere. What’s really impressive about this outlet, is that it is the world’s first in your wall double Qualcomm Certified quick charge 2.0 USB outlet. That’s pretty impressive. I need that too. We have larger Android based phones, and they need this power to charge quickly. Our tablets are even pickier, and this outlet is perfect for them. Now, I really wish I had more. I really like TopGreener outlets. This is not our first. The products are made well, and work perfectly. They have been very reliable, and the company is great to work with. I will be moving soon, and will be installing this outlet in my new home. I am taking it with me, lol.

This outlet is made well, and met the expectations we had, having already owned TopGreener outlets. The instruction pamphlet included is easy to follow as well. It comes with interchangeable face plates. It arrives with the white one already on it. But, the also include an Ivory one, and a Black one. To take it off, you place a flat head screwdriver to the side of it, and slowly pry it off. The Dual USB ports each reach 18 Wats output: 2.4A/5VDC, 2A/9VDC, 1.5A/12VDC. Pretty impressive, huh!? They really do charge a lot faster than regular USB ports. They are also Smart ports as well. It is not going to overcharge your item. You can charge your IOS products on here as well, without worry. It is also a temper resistant outlet, so you don’t have to worry about your little ones sticking something into the outlet, and hurting themselves. It is deeper than your regular outlet. It is 1 ½” deep. Most people won’t have issues, but you can check your desired outlet before ordering. You can install this in a GFCI outlet, too. Qualcomm outlets charge up to 75% faster. You really do get spoiled by that. To top it off, they even give a 2 year warranty with this outlet. I highly recommend it.

Double sided, and perfect. – The Checkered Chef’s Cutting Board.

We do a lot of cooking, and mostly from scratch, in our home. With cooking comes a lot of chopping, and cutting. We have several cutting boards in our home. They really are an indispensable product to have. In my home we use them to serve with, do crafts on, cut and chop food on, and more, lol. It is a great multi-use product to have, and that is why we have multiple. This particular from The Checkered Chef on Amazon, is really nice. It has moved up on my go to list for sure. I love the dual sides, and the non-slip edges, a lot! You know you are way too much of an adult, when you get excited about a cutting board, lol. The size is also great. It measures out at 14” long and 10” wide. You can actually prepare food for a family on here. You can cut your roast, chop a ton of veggies or fruit, and serve up a lot of cheese as well. If you are klutzy like me, you will also appreciate its durability. This cutting board is made out of polypropylene. It is thick enough so you won’t have to worry about warping. It does not leave gouges easily with regular chopping and cutting. I love how it’s double sided. One side is smooth and flat, while the other side has a trough around the perimeter, to catch the juices from you produce and meats. That really makes a difference, and so much less mess. My favorite part of this cutting board is the non-slip feet on it. It really does stay put. That really falls into the klutzy category, lol. If there’s a way to send something flying, I can do it. Fortunately, the corners are wrapped in the non-slip material, so it stays put on either side. I hand wash everything, but this baby is dishwasher safe. It’s a rugged, great all around cutting board. I couldn’t find anything negative about it.

The perfect Ionic Hair Brush Set. -SySrion’s Ionic Hair Straightener Brush 2.0.

My hair is a mess, lol. It truly has a mind of its own. I am fond of these Ionic Hair Brushes. I have others, but I was excited to try this set from SySrion. I love this set. It comes with the brush, a storage bag, 2 hair clips, and a glove, for those of you who may burn your hand. I do not need the glove with this brush. But, if you are one to always grab the bristles (plates), then this will be perfect for you. It’s the most complete set I have used, that’s for sure. All my other brushes have just come with the brush. The buttons for this brush are on the back of the handle. They are slightly inset, and are not easy to press by accident. You won’t have to worry about turning it off, or changing your heat setting, with this one. I wrap my hand around the handle when I use it, and I have not accidently pushed the buttons at all. I love the ceramic plates on this brush. They really work through my messy hair without pulling on it, and yanking it out. I can take my messy pony tail down, after being outside and windblown, and it tames and de frizzes my hair easily. I am always really impressed with that too. This brush has 5 heat settings. Just press the power button until you reach your desired setting. This brush moves from 302 degrees Fahrenheit to 446 degrees Fahrenheit. The cooler temps are perfect for fine hair, and the highest temp is perfect for my thick, unmanageable hair. They include a great instruction pamphlet for first time users. This brush does not dry out my hair. It actually looks and feels healthier after using it. The negative ions in this brush is what gets rid of the frizz in your hair. The trick is to move the brush slowly through your hair. It works more efficiently this way. You can even help style your hair with this brush. Work it like you would a regular brush, and the heat will help style your hair in that direction. This brush is really a great tool. I love the bright blue color of my brush, but they also have it available in black and pink; something for everyone. I really can’t say enough positive about it.
