Fits the Yeti! – Neat Lids’ 30 oz. Tumbler Lid.

Standard

I have a 30oz Yeti cup, and one of their competitors’ 30oz Stainless Steel tumblers too. I drink out of my Yeti 30oz all the time, and I do use a straw. It’s hard to find straws that will fit into these cups. The tops that come with them have a very small drink opening on them. I have been seeing these new tops advertised all over Facebook. So, I have been very intrigued by them. In other words, I was so thrilled to be given the chance to review one. It arrives in simple, mail order packaging, and in perfect condition. It fit both my Yeti tumbler and my copycat tumbler, perfectly. It is made out of BPA free, top quality, food grade plastic. The seal on the outer ring is great, and really keeps your lid in place. There is a top sliding “door” per say, on the top of the cup. It slides over, and cover up the hole perfectly. Your drink will still trickle out if tipped, but a splash from walking won’t make it out. That is a great perk if you take your morning drink with you, on your way to work. The O Ring Seal makes the vacuum seal well. Without this seal, your cup wouldn’t be able to keep your cold liquids cold, and your hot liquids stay hot, for as long as it does. I noticed no difference with this lid compared to the lid that comes with the cups. I like the drinking opening a lot, on this lid. When slid open, the drink opening, was made a little bit larger, to accommodate straws. It is hard to find a tall thin straw, so this lid makes it doable. I am loving this feature. If not using a straw, the sliding lid feature is very beneficial as well. Especially if you are hanging outside. You don’t have to worry about any bugs making your way into your drink, eeewwwww. It’s also really nice knowing your hot coffee won’t splash onto you while heading out the door. Overall, I really like this lid. I just wish that when the lid was skid shut, that no liquid would drip out if slightly tipped. I wouldn’t definitely still but this lid, for the straw feature alone.

These keep your eyes dry. – Bezzee-Pro’s Swimming Goggles with FREE Stylish Case – Ear Plugs & Nose Clip.

Standard

UV protection

The first impression I had when my new goggles, was,”Oooh, how fancy.” I mean, wow, the case itself is so impressive. I have never had a pair of swim googles come with a case like this before. It is durable, zippers shut, and really provides protection for your lenses. There is even a clip attached to the case, so you can clip it to your bag, and go. That is great if you are heading out to the beach, pool, or lake. When you open the case, you will see that these swim goggles from Bezzee-Pro, also include ear plugs and a nose clip, in the case. The ear plugs are loose in the case, so be careful they don’t fall out when you open it. The nose clip is something I never had the need to use, but if you need one, it works well. It definitely clips the nose shut, and holds in place very well. It didn’t hurt my nose either, which made me very relieved. The ear plugs remind me of some of the ones I can buy at our local hardware stores. They clean and dry off easily. I ordered the goggles in black, but they are also available in 4 other colors. These goggles are really impressive. They quality is apparent when you hold them. The craftsmanship is there. I love the adjustable strap. It is both easy to adjust and put on. It actually has a button clip on it. You can easily put them on and off. No more pulling them over your hair. I have long hair and have pulled a lot of it out, using goggles. Being able to open it up, makes a big difference. And, it is so easy to do yourself too. The lenses on the glasses are 100% UV protected. They are also very clear, anti-fog, and shatterproof lenses. The strap is made out of silicone, and quite durable. These goggles really create a tight seal around your eye sockets. I wear contacts and can’t go underwater without goggles. If I do, it’s always a risk of losing a contact. So, I am very picky about my swim goggles. I did notice, with these goggles, that if you have a very narrow arrow between your eyes, a narrow face, you may have trouble getting a tight seal on the outer edge of each eye socket. They tend to be on the wider side, in this regard. I find this on a lot of goggles though, so not new to me. I have to make them tight, and make sure of the seal before heading underwater. The nose piece is very flexible, which allows you to get a more customized fit. So far, so good, with these goggles. I am very happy with the construction, the quality. These are a solid pair of swimming goggles.

Grooming time. – Heroic STAR Beard Brush Two Piece Set With Cloth Drawstring Bag Grooming Kit.

Standard

I have always loved natural bristle brushes. Any type of brush too: paint brushes, makeup brushes, house painting brushes, and yes, hair brushes. They are just so great to use, no matter what the application. I really love this set from the Belle Moi Group on Amazon. It’s their Heroic Star Beard Brush, 2 piece set. There is a brush with a handle, and then an oval, handheld brush without a handle. I love the storage bag that they arrive in. It’s washable and reusable. I can see using the bag to keep the travel brush stored in, and keep it clean. Technically, none are designated as a travel brush, but the one with no handle is so easy to pack, because it has no handle. This brush was given to my husband. He doesn’t have a beard since he is Army, but he has short hair, and these brushes are so wonderful on short hair. The brush with the handle has been given to my son, who absolutely loves it. My older son has been using a natural boar bristle brush for a couple years now, on his beard. The bristles are great on his beard. The bristles brush through your hair without pulling on them. You really aren’t going to damage your hair using these brushes, unless you did it on purpose. The wood used for these brushes is Beachwood. It has a nice varnish on them, and are made very well. The bristles are nice and dense. We had some loose bristles in both brushes when they arrived, and that is very normal for natural bristle brushes. There was no odor to the brushes at all. They are very clean, and feel great on your head. The natural bristles leave your hair looking soft. They are great on both wet and dry hair. You can also use it with oils, in case you like to brush a nice beard oil through your beard. You can wash your brush easily too. I just use a little hand soap, and wash it out in the sink. Then just shake the excess water out, and let it air dry. So, it’s really easy to take care of. This will help you keep your hair healthy and manageable. Since it feels so great on your head to use, you will find yourself taking better care of your hair. For example, my younger son hates brushing his care, but he is liking his new brush, and actually enjoys using it.

Very supportive. – Welcos Women’s Women’s Yoga Pants Seamless.

Standard

So many people wear yoga/exercise pants nowadays. Not only are they comfortable to wear, but they are also supportive. Pants like these are, anyhow. These give your legs some support, which ends up giving your legs more energy. They have a nice compressive value to them. These pants are made out of 87% Polyester, and 13% Spandex. The spandex is what gives you the support. These are made on the narrower side. I always order a Medium, and they are normally loose on me. These fit to a T, which means they run smaller, lol. I never wear my clothes snug, for some reason; even exercise clothes. All the stitching was done well on my pair of yoga pants. They are not loosely threaded, and should last a long time. They wash and dry well. The rise is a modern fit, not low. I am 5’3” and it comes up a little too close to my belly button, lol. So, if a bend over, so does the waist band. I really don’t like that. The waist band is thick, and made quite well. There is a little pocket on the front side of it as well. You could put your key in there, or a couple dollars. They did not have any odor to them at all upon arrival. They are ready to go right out of the package. I like the styling. They are pretty current, and look great on. I really have no complaints. If you like your clothes on the looser side, or normally wear relaxed fit, because you have an awesome booty, lol. Then, I suggest ordering up one in size.

Veteran Owned and Operated. – American Brass’ 7.62 and .50 Caliber Bullet Bottle Opener Combo Pack.

Standard

I actually already own both the bottle opener and keychain from American Brass. I love them, and use them all of the time. My older son actually confiscated and has kept the bottle opener. The thing is made unbelievably well, and is so durable. It works perfectly, and has a very high cool factor to it as well. The same goes for the keychain. I kept that one though, and never let him touch it, lol. I was thrilled to see them available as a set, and even more thrilled to be able to review the set. This company uses only pre-fired demilitarized, bullet casings, from our US Military. How fantastic is that. I love that! What a story that makes when you present this as a gift. It’s nicely packaged, and ready to go out of the box. The keychain is made out of the 7.62 casing, and the bottle opener is made out of the .50Cal casing. These are brass, thick, and solid. They are not bendy in the least. They are not dirty, or rough to hold. They have a great patina to them as well. The keyring that comes with the 7.62 bottle opener, is a tight and solid key ring. This company is even a “Veteran Owned and Operated company.” It doesn’t get better than that. The surface is smooth. You could have the larger bottle opener engraved on your own as well. Or, you can do it yourself if you are handy. There are no negatives with this set. It’s completely a win, win situation here. You get to open your bottle like a boss, hands down. You’ll even get to carry your keys, like a boss! I most definitely recommend this set.
