The perfect sticky pad! – Boschi’s MG Super Sticky Notes, 3 in X 3 in.

Standard

Yea, it’s office supply time, lol. Well, no one says yea, but supplies are always needed. We all go for sticky notes too. They are one of those indispensable needs. My kids have used them as well as us adults. People do crafting with them, leave love notes with them, and so much more. They don’t just have to be for work. They are definitely a great way to leave reminders for yourself, that’s for sure. I don’t recommend covering up someone’s car with them though, lol.  This set of sticky notes from the Boschi store on Amazon, are a set of 10 pads. They are the yellow color we are all used to seeing. They all arrive individually packaged inside of the box. Haha, you could sell them to your employees then. Or, you could be nice and share. These are 100 count pads and measure out at 3” x 3” by my ruler. So, they will fit into those sticky pad holders. They are very sticky. I played around with them. Stuck them on my forehead, my eyebrows, lol. My 8 year old got a big laugh out of my shenanigans. I had no trouble taking them up and replacing them down. The stickiness factor is there. You can write well on them too. Just like any other sticky notes that I have used. This is a great way to stock up too. I hate running out. It’s one of those things we use, but I always forget to put on the list to buy.

Loving my Copper Moscow Mule Mugs from Kangaroo!

Standard

I love Copper Moscow Mule Mugs. I love the look, and we are copper fans. These are a little different than some on the market. They state 100% Copper in their name, but they are not copper, nope. These are stainless steel mugs, plated with real Copper. The handles are solid brass though, and quite handsome at that. It annoys me when labeling is misleading. Their real product description is on their packaging though. These mugs are 16oz mugs, and are a great size for a traditional Moscow Mule drink, or any other drink you would like. Just remember, with all metal mugs, they pick up the temperature of the drink you put in them. So, unless you like holdingkangaroo Copper Mule 2 hot mugs, like me, I would stick to cold drinks in these mugs. I also recommend hand washing them with a non-abrasive soap and sponge. They do give you the Moscow Mule recipe on the packaging. I tweaked it a bit for what I am used to. They do not give an amount for lime juice, and I stated one. Here is it:

1oz lime juice

Ice

2oz Vodka

4-8oz of Ginger Beer they state 4 – 6, but most recipes say 8.

Then garnish with a lime slice.

These mugs are very handsome. Aesthetically, they are spot on. I do not feel that the metal alters the flavor of my drink at all. I use stainless steel straws all of the time as well. The rim is rounded, and comfortable on the lips. The inside opening of the handle is on the smaller side, but is comfortable to slide your fingers through it, and cradle the mug in your hand. Overall, I like these mugs. There are no chemical worries with these mugs. Copper is actually healthy for you, and is recommended to drink water out of one daily for health benefits. They will need some gentle care to them to make sure the plating doesn’t come off. These style mugs always impress. They are perfect for entertaining.

I’m actually excited about this rubber broom from DBroth.

Standard

No one likes to clean, but it’s one of those necessities. I was afforded the opportunity to review the most unique broom I have ever seen. This Rubber Broom by Dbroth is so unique. Even my 21 year old son, came over, and said, “What the heck is this?!”. He then had to feel it, play with it, and used it. I love that since it is made with all rubber bristles, it can easily be washed off. On one side of it is a squeegee. That I have never seen on a broom before. You could wash down your RV with this broom, or your vinyl siding. It’s an easy way to keep a clean broom in home. I love that idea. The handle on this broom can unscrew from the bristle area. That makes it easy to wash off. The handle also is telescopic. Just pull it up and screw it to the right, to lock it in place. There is a hole on the top of the handle to lock it into place. The handle is a painted metal, and there is a hole on the top of it, in case you want to hang it up. Because the bristles are rubber, don’t push down when sweeping. It will feel like it’s hard to move. If you take it lightly across the floor, it does do actually sweeping really well. It may take you a few times to get it down. Because the bristles are rubber, it doesn’t kick up a lot of dust, which is great with my insane allergies. Things stick to it to, so if you had pets, that would be great for cleaning up pet hair. I even used the broom to clean the overhead air intake vents.  I sprayed the bristles down with Windex, and then ran it across the grates. It really helped! It also made it so much easier for me. Normally, I get a ladder out, and then reach to clean it by hand. I so dread it. If you have to do this too, then get this broom, lol! It’s a well-made broom, durable and sturdy. It locks into position well, and is so usable because of how it is made.

Archival ink! – Boshi’s Black Office Pens.

Standard

We go through a lot of pens in our home. From anywhere from crossword puzzles, to homeschooling, to work. Getting them in larger quantities is key, but sometimes, you just don’t get a quality pen that way. We are really happy with this set. They write very smoothly, and are comfortable to hold and write with. You will get 12 pens in your box. They are black ink gel pens. I was able to write with them, and then run my finger over the words I had just written, with no smudging at all. That actually really surprised me. These are click button pens. Just press the top of the pen in to both begin and stop writing with the pen. These are also refillable ink pens too. The pocket clip is plastic, but it is a pretty tight pocket clip nonetheless. The center of the pen is clear, so you can actually see how much ink you have left. When you first get these pens, you will need to remove a little red plastic cap off the tips of the pens. This was in place to protect them in shipment. It just pops right off. The pen may be plastic, but the tip is made out of stainless steel. It is durable and well made. The lower part of the pen, where you hold it, has a rubber grip on it. This makes it very comfortable to write with. They are currently priced at $13.99 with free prime shipping. That makes it only $1.17 a pen, plus tax. A lot cheaper this way, over buying a pack of two gel pens at the local store. This way you don’t run out as fast either. They state they use archival quality ink. It is acid free, and both waterproof and fade resistant. You can use this to document your family tree, or your precious scrap book memories.

Thick, soft, and absorbent. – Prymal’s Hot Yoga Towel 72 X 38 Non Slip.

Standard

Microfiber towels are great. We already have a few in our home. They really do absorb so much more water, and moisture than regular towels, and dry faster as well. They are a perfect marriage for sports, and not just yoga. Depending on your yoga pad, you can use some of that towel stay spray, and lie this down on top of your pad for hot yoga, or regular yoga if you tend to sweat a lot. It does stay well without it though. You can use this large towel poolside for your child who wants to be dried off quickly. My son likes it done quickly, so this is great for him. My guys are commercial electricians. They get rained on, or highly sweaty. I have equipped both of them with yoga towels like this one. They just dry so quickly, and are so absorbent.  This towel arrived in perfect condition. All of the stitching at the ends was done tight and on point. The towel arrived with no odd odor to it. I love the size at 72 inches long and 38 inches wide. It will cover your entire yoga mat. They have the Prymal name nicely embroidered on one side. They grey color doesn’t show sweat stains, lol. It’s great for both men and women. It rolls up nicely, and is highly portable. I’ve had towels like this made out of different weights and textures. This one has a moderate, but soft texture. It is also nice and thick for microfiber. It’s not rough, but it’s not ultra-smooth. That is why it’s a great one for the yoga mat as well; not slippery. It feels really nice against your skin. I am really happy with the quality of this towel. I definitely give it two thumbs up.

The healthy way to disperse essential oils. – Housmile’s 100ml Aroma Essential Oil Diffuser.

Standard

I am a fan of essential oil diffusers. They are so healthy for you, and this one is very easy to operate as well. Essential oils aren’t healthy to heat up. Heating them up changes their chemical makeup. So, an essential oil diffuser is one of the easiest ways to diffuse them through the home. They ionize the molecules and break the water and oils down small enough to be inhaled by you. This diffuser never gets hot to the touch, even with their LED lights running. This diffuser can hold 100ml of water in it. To fill it, just lift off the top of the diffuser, and you will see the water reservoir. The even include a mini water pitcher to fill it with. This diffuser it very well labeled. Not all of them are. They breakdown the water lines at: 20, 40, 60, 80, and 100ml. The water drain side is even labeled. There are even two black dots that line up when your cover is put back on correctly. This diffuser has two buttons on it: mist and light. You can choose to run this on light mode only, diffuser mode only, or both at the same time. The diffuser has timer options, and they work really well. You can set it for 30, 60, 120, or 180 minutes. You press the mist button until the LED light stops on the wanted time frame. It shuts off at that time limit, too. There is a safety mechanism built into this diffuser. When the water runs out, the machine stops running. It will not overheat on you. If someone was to knock it over, the water would run out, and it will shut off. After you place your water into the diffuser, place about 4 -6 drops of your essential oil into the water. It depends on the strength of your oil, and size of your room. If your room is large, with this size, place it a little closer to where everyone is. I love the LED colors. They rotate through. If you press the button more than once, you can choose the LED color you want it to stay on. This is a nice option. This is a lightweight, and nice working unit. I love to run Eucalyptus in mine, and Lavender as well. Lavender is so relaxing, and Eucalyptus really helps to open the sinuses and airways. Peppermint is also a great one to use. There are so many options, lol.

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

Standard

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.
