Enjoy Your Showers Again!



We just remodeled our bathroom and haven't been able to decide on a shower head that works for my family. After purchasing and testing at least 5 other shower heads in the last few weeks, we finally settled on the HotelSpa 6-in Chrome Showerheads with Hand Showers because of the 30 different spray combinations between the 2 shower heads. There is a 6in and a 4in shower head and both have these settings...Power Rain, Pulsating Massage, Hydrating Mist, Rain/Massage, Rain/Mist and Water saving Economy Rain so when you add 2 of these together, you create you own happiness.

The set comes with everything needed to install (except for the shower arm) and you don't even need a wrench to tighten this set. The hose is stainless steel and 5 ft long so you can be sure to reach your child or pets hair/fur easily. This truly is a nice showerhead and hand shower that will fit everyone's needs.

I received one or more of the products mentioned above in exchange for review from Giveaway Service website. Regardless, I only recommend products or services I use personally and believe will be good for my readers. Reference ID: pma3cd8f7f3501b39812a8045bd00d9737

Nice option for vacations where you will be getting wet.

 
Being that I'm accident prone, I don't always want to chance taking my phone with me to places like the beach, pool or outside events but I also don't want to miss any photo opportunities either. I decided to purchase a camera that could withstand weather conditions and not fog up, break when wet and that could take pictures and video as well. The Ivation 20MP Underwater Shockproof Digital Camera does everything I was looking for and even has an extra screen so I can take selfies!

This digital camera offers so many features like dual screens (2.7 in and 1.8 in), built-in flash, 4x zoom, self-timer, photo mode, video mode, normal/macro mode, date/time and more. The size is small and can fit in your purse, pocket or keep it closer with the use of the included wrist strap. I personally had to read the directions to figure out how to work the camera and switch it to video mode but then again....I've only ever used my cell phone camera. I did find that the camera does show a little lagging when turning on and going through basic functions. The flash takes a few seconds to "charge" and will not take pictures until then which could leave you without that special moment.

Videos actually turn out great but there is no way to hear sound since there is no speaker but once you upload the video to your computer the sound plays. Colors even adjust well when you go from dark areas to light. I'm looking forward to taking this on my cruise this coming February and I have already tried submerging the camera under water and it still took pictures fine. Good camera for the price.

Treat yourself and your family with the Top 6 Essential Oil Blends and feel whole again.

With the seasons changing, my family and I often have allergy attacks and colds/viruses that start up. While I have several essential oils at home that I diffuse on a regular basis, I am still learning how to blend them the correct way. In the meantime, I found the Top 6 Essential Oil Blends Gift Set and decided to purchase it for myself since there are 6 great blends (Breathe Again, Dreamy Sleep, Health Guard, Mellow Mind, Romantic Paradise, Tropical Island) so I can now use them to keep my family healthy and my home smelling amazing.


The 6 essential oil blends are below as well as the oils used for each one:

"Dreamy Sleep" has Lavender, Chamomile, Clary Sage, Mandarin, Ylang Ylang, Cedarwood, Orange, Petitgrain and helps to promote sleep.
"Tropical Island" has Orange, Lemon, Grapefruit, Bergamot, Thyme, Mandarin, Clary Sage and will bring you the tropical scent of paradise.
"Romantic Paradise" has Lavender, Jasmine, Ylang Ylang, Geranium, Mandarin, Palmarosa, Lime and helps to set a romantic mood.
"Mellow Mind" has Rose, Lemon, Marjoram, Mandarin, Frankincense, Geranium and helps to calm your mind and senses.
"Health Guard" has Lavender, Rosemary, Lemon, Clove, Cinnamon, Eucalyptus and is great to diffuse during the changing weather.
"Breathe Again" has Peppermint, Rosemary, Spearmint, Eucalyptus, Lemon, Lavender and helps to relieve congestion and get you breathing easy again.

This is a great set to have on hand or to give as a gift to a fellow essential oil lover. Each bottle is 10ml and comes in a dark glass bottle with built-in dropper.

I was offered this product at a discounted rate in exchange for my honest opinion.
 
 



Large enough to fit a whole recipe blend for lip gloss, perfume and more

I found a few new essential oil recipes that I have been wanting to try but I ran out of available roller bottles. After looking around I decided to purchase this pack of 6 Frosted Blue Glass Roll On Bottles by Easytle because of the size (10ml) and because I love the frosted blue look. The bottles look great by themselves and would make a great gift with oils included. I was able to fit all of my new recipes inside each bottle since they are larger bottles. I was impressed to see that the roller balls do not leak and fit tightly inside the bottle yet they are easy to remove when you need to refill or clean them. The included black caps twist on to help prevent leaking. I can easily see these bottles in my purse and they also fit in my pockets too. I was even able to use a small funnel to help fill these bottles and you can learn more in my previous blog post here.

Don't waste time cleaning up spilt oils when you can be using these funnels that are perfect for roller bottles

 
I love making my own essential oil blends but it gets hard to fit all the oils into the tiny sized bottles...especially with a regular sized funnel. I was able to find this pack of 6 mini clear plastic funnels that are 3.2cm x 4.2cm and perfect for my needs. The funnels are super tiny and have a little tab on the top side that has a hole in the center so that you can attach string to the funnel or just use the tab as a place to hold the funnel when needed. I have been able to use the tiny funnels in all of my essential oil roller bottles and there is never a mess anymore....the funnel even fits in the small 3 ml bottles with no problems. The funnels are easy to clean and can even tolerate temperatures up to 220 degrees F. I really am impressed with these funnels and they make my life easier.

Is your gut performing to the best of its abilities? Just finishedantibiotics? This is the solution to get your gut back!

I recently had a really bad sinus infection that required 3 rounds of antibiotics. Needless to say, my gut was strained thin and I got all those very unpleasant side effects from the antibiotics. Since antibiotics kill or remove all of the bacteria (good and bad) from your system, you are left with none and your body often needs help to replace the good bacteria to help your systems continue to function properly. I needed a boost and decided to purchase the Power Pearl Probiotic Supplement to help replace my good bacteria. The bottle comes with 60 "pearls" or pills and you can take 1 pearl with food up to 3 times a day for 2-4 weeks as needed. There are 5 billion CFU per pearl with each one containing Lactobacillus acidophilus, Lactobacillus Plantarum, Lactobacillus Fermentum, Bifidobacterium Lactis, and Bifidobacterium Infantis plus 25 mg of Prebiotic Fructooligosaccharise (FOS). And if that wasn't enough to get you to switch over the fact that they are also vegetarian and contain ZERO sugar, preservatives, GMO, nuts, wheat, gluten, lactose, chemicals, yeast, soy, iron, or artificial colors will win you over.

These probiotics are so easy to take and there is no bad smell or taste. They do not cause any side effects other than getting you your body back in control of things. The pearls are white in color and only 0.32" or 8mm making them easy to swallow. There is an 18 month shelf life on the probiotics so you have plenty of time to get your gut in order before they expire. These really work and I have been able to continue on with my normal life thanks to these little pearls.

Lots of power in such a small package....this is sure to stop the barking and whining from your dog.

 
We have a Catahoula dog that is one of the best dogs you could ever be proud to have except for one small problem...he whines..a lot. It isn't loud, but it is very annoying. Now, one of the things that I really feel strongly about is not being abusive or cruel to my animals in anyway at all as they are my wonderful companions. I recently ran across the Pet Resolve Dog Training Collar with Remote and decided to give it a try to see if I could stop the whining (he does bark at times but I am more concerned with the whining. The Pet Resolve Collar has an extra long reach of 1200 meters...that's like almost 4,000 feet or 3/4ths of a mile! Impressive! The collar has 10 levels of both continuous and momentary shocking. I can train up to 3 different dogs at the same time if needed without having to purchase any more collars.  It has a digital display, the collar is waterproof, has a recall memory for each of the 3 outputs, a lanyard...with a quick release so I don't have to stuff it in my pocket, a USB cable with twin outputs for charging both the receiver and transmitter at the same time, a Lithium-Ion battery so I don't have to be concerned about the batteries corroding and messing up the unit, "low power" LED indicators, audio feedback to make sure that I don't shock the wrong animal, and a 2 year warranty for starters. You really can't get a product much better than this with all these features.

I have the ability to change the shocking level in 10 steps up or down immediately from the remote without having to stop and there are two separate buttons that give you the option for a momentary shock, or a continuous shock for up to 8 seconds. The manual talks about a continuous shock for 8 seconds and I thought that that would be kind of long, so I checked it out with the test light and found that it is a continuous shock for as long as you hold down that particular button...up to 8 seconds...but the shocking stops as soon as you let go of the button so you have complete control for the length of time that the shock is produced.

The training collar also comes with a "TEST" light that you can put across the collar to make sure that it is working without shocking your animal to find out, and you can determine by the intensity of the light as to the degree of power that it is putting out to the animal. It also comes with an additional set of longer screw-on adapters and a spanner wrench for the shocking points for those animals that have longer and thicker hair. I tested the training collar on myself, going through the different levels of shocking capacity to see exactly what power the different levels produced (I wanted to know what my dog is going to be feeling BEFORE I zap him with it). The bottom two levels are pretty weak and might work on a smaller dog but when you get to level three....look out...it gets pretty exciting at this point. For a large dog, I personally would start at level three from the bottom and work my way up only if I needed to. It packs a pretty good punch at this level.

  I would recommend it to anyone who is interested in using a shocking collar for training. I had a different brand years ago that was nowhere near as versatile as this one for about the same price.

I was offered this product at a reduced price in return for my honest review.

Don't get caught with your bumper bashed and a stranger's word...have aDash Cam

I live right outside a big city but have to work in the city which always has tons of traffic, speed traps and accidents. There have been times when I was not the one at fault but blamed and therefore made to pay a fine. I decided that I needed to get some sort of security option and finally purchased the Conbrov T9 1080p Full HD Car Dash Cam. I wanted a camera that was small but able to record all relevant activity day/night while also being able to take photos. This Dash Cam allows me to do just that and more with the 1.5 inch LTPS Screen, built-in microphone/speaker, micro SD card slot that holds up to a 32G card and emergency recording with motion detection capability.

The video resolution is M-JPEG 1920 x 1080P30 and 1280 x 720P30.
Photo resolution is 5MP and the Photo format is JPEG.
Loop recording is offered in several options (OFF/1min/3 min/5 min/10 min) with auto screen shut off (OFF/1 min/3 min).

This product includes T9 Car Cam, a user manual, vehicle mounted adaptor, vehicle mounted cup bracket and a USB cable. The memory card is not included. Overall, this is a nice basic Car Camera that can be easily mounted in your car to record video or take pictures in both night and day settings. After using/testing for a few weeks I can say that the user manual is not that great and actually is somewhat confusing. Taking the time to learn what the Dash Cam can and can not do is really the only way to learn how to get the most out of the camera. Also, while the quality of the camera is nice, the screen is a little small and it makes it hard for me to focus and figure out what the options (icons on the screen) mean....but then again, my eyes aren't that great these days. Very lightweight and has yet to fall off my windshield when left in a hot car (90 degrees), plus the charging cord is extra long to allow you the ability to place the Dash cam anywhere on your dash/windshield. Very impressed and no problems to report. Would make a great gift as well.

Relaxation and luxury all wrapped up into 6 tiny but fragrant Bath Bombs

I don't normally purchase bath products due to my very sensitive skin (eczema) but with all the good reviews about being able to use these bath bombs with sensitive skin and no irritation, I decided to take the plunge and purchase the set. I was impressed with the quality from the start for as soon as you remove the bath bombs from the box, you are surprised with a beautiful golden drawstring bag that has the bath bombs delicately placed inside with paper straw to pad them as well as add to the great presentation. Also included is a list that describes each bath bomb and the ingredients used for each one.

There are 6 bath bombs included in the set and each one has a different blend of ingredients and colors (Rasouli, Island Vacation, All That Jazz, Citrus Safari, Lavender Dreams and Sunny Days) so that they are each unique and you can have a different escape each time. Made in the USA and the fragrance is amazing. The scent fills the room and creates your escape allowing you to de-stress and relax while also treating your skin leaving it soft and moisturized. This bath bomb set would be the perfect gift for a girl's night, birthday or just to treat yourself to a little bit of luxury.

Keep Those Hands Protected With Silicone Gloves Plus Extras

After numerous times of burning my arms and fingers, I finally decided to purchase a pair of gloves that could handle the heat and protect me in the process. The Silicone Glove Set by BlueSkyBos  were the best choice I have made in a long time (when it comes to purchasing kitchen utensils). As a bonus, this set comes not only with a matching pair of silicone gloves but an apple shaped trivet, a pair of coffee coasters and an eBook with recipes and tips too. The gloves and trivet are bright red in color and made from 100% heat resistant silicone up to 450 degrees! With that high amount I can wear the gloves to BBQ on the grill or to cook dishes in my oven without even feeling the heat.

The gloves have tiny heart shaped grips all over the outside on both sides and since the glove is able to be used on the left or right hand you never have to worry about not having a pair (you can still get by with 1 glove). There is the "BlueSkyBos" logo in black on each glove and a small hole allows you to hang the pair of gloves up if desired. They are very lightweight and completely flexible allowing my tiny hands to grip anything I need to while wearing them. The gloves are big on me but they do not slip off while trying to use them. The apple shaped trivet is also red in color and very flexible. It can be used to remove things from the stove/oven or to place a hot dish on to protect your countertop. Both the gloves and trivet are easy to clean...just place in the dishwasher and your done.

The coffee coasters are lightweight and small but sturdy. They will keep the heat from transferring onto your table or desk and are small enough to store when not in use. Overall, this is a set with a great value and lots of extras besides just a pair of gloves. Would make the perfect gift for housewarming parties.

Magnetic Erasers for Dry Erase Markers....so many possibilities

I have passion for all things Pinterest. I have been looking for a good eraser that I could use to erase the writing on my washer and dryer. I discovered that I could use a dry erase marker on my washer and dryer to leave myself or my husband notes to help remove items not to be dried. These Magnetic Whiteboard Erasers by Navy Penguin are perfect for what I want. Not only do they erase the marker easily, they are magnetic so I don't have to worry about them being accidently knocked off. The set comes with 4 erasers in different colors (red, green, yellow and blue) that are made from a sturdy but easy to use foam with a felt pad at the bottom and magnets inside. The edges are wavy and fit my fingers well so I can grip the erasers easily. I also have a whiteboard that I use the other erasers on and there is also no problems. There is a black "Navy Penguin" logo and picture on the top center of each eraser.

Keep Your Children Safe With Safety Latches

 
My first child was born 10 years ago and I can still remember the older style child locks that were bulky and easy to remove by a child. I have also tried the newer versions of child locks where some of them are magnetic, screwed into cabinets, and others with sticky adhesive that just wasn't strong enough to last...through 1 child much less 4. Once adjusting and installing a few of the safety latches, I was able to relax knowing that my children could not open them.
 The safety straps are white with light grey accents so it blends in well with my kitchen and they each have two 3M adhesives. There are a total of 8 straps that can be placed on practically anything that you want to keep closed ( refrigerator, cabinets, dishwasher, oven, drawers, etc). So far my toddlers tug and pull at the latches and they do not budge which tells me that these are a great solution to help child proof your home. Purchase a set of the W-Star Multi Use Adjustable Child Safety Strap Latches/Locks for your home today.
