Tidy Tiger Soft Silicone Food and Crumb Catcher Baby Bib Review

Knowing from experience (4 kids) I would need to find a bib that a toddler was unable to remove (Velcro, snaps, tying) would prove a little difficult so when I found the Tidy Tiger Soft Silicone Food and Crumb Catcher Baby Bib by Coin & Sapphire I just had to give it a try. I liked the concept of a bib that could be reused without needing to be washed in a washing machine after one use and is virtually indestructible. The Tidy Tiger bib is made from 100% food grade silicone and is latex, phthalate, BPA, and lead Free so you can be comfortable knowing your child is safe. There is a leak proof pocket (tigers mouth) to catch potential messes and an adjustable neck fastener with a hook and loop style.

I personally tried this bib out on my 1 yr old and 2 yr old to see how it worked out and my results were fairly the same. Both children loved the bib and wanted to put it on (until it was actually fastened...kids) but once it took me well over a minute to get it fastened through the hook and loop I was frustrated and so was the child. See, there is this tiny ball at the end of the hook that must go through the donut shaped hole and it doesn't exactly go in willingly. After some prying and pushing at different angles the ball will eventually go through but its work.....much more work than a button bib and by that time the child is usually fighting to get away. Removing the bib is easier but without instructions I can't be sure I actually latched the bib the right way. Does it go through 1 hole and sit or does it go through that first hole then bend around to hook back into the hole on the same silicone strand? I also found that the bib pocket only stays open to catch food when the child is somewhat leaning forward. I do like that the bib is completely flexible at any angle and I can roll it up to store in the diaper bag. Rinses clean in the sink or by a wet cloth making clean up easy.

Overall, this is a nice high quality silicone bib that is made to last. And the cute tiger face is loved by both of my children. With a price of $5.95 this bib is a good choice.

Hydrofeet Dynamic Liquid Massaging Orthotic Insoles Review

My husband is in the military and has to wear military issued boots for 10-12 hours a day...and those boots have no cushion at all. He has been having a lot of problems with his heels hurting him and having to stand at attention for long periods of time only makes things worse. I decided to purchase the Hydrofeet Dynamic Liquid Massaging Orthotic Insoles because of their main purpose of relieving foot pain and giving heel support. The insoles do not look like much at first because they are black and thin but once you insert them and place you foot inside the shoe its an amazing feeling (I just had to try them out). It literally feels like you are walking on air! He feel in love with them right away and wears them everyday. He no longer complains about his heels because as he says "it gives a puff of air straight to my problem areas and I can't even feel the hardness of my shoes". The insoles are able to be trimmed to fit as needed making them the perfect solution for any foot problems.

Contouring All Natural Body Wrap Review

I have tried several versions of the body wraps and I hated them all...until I tried the Contouring All Natural Body Wrap. This is the only wrap that I have not wasted money on. All of the others were either slimy or had that icy hot effect (hot and cold) the whole time...and don't even get me started on the whole "wrap yourself in plastic wrap" jargon. I mean who really wants to do that and how can it possibly be healthy for you?! With the Contouring Wrap I noticed right off that it was thinner than others I had tried and it was 2x the size! It is made with 3 sections so that you get the perfect fit wherever you decide to place it. The wrap is easy to cut and stays in place without any need for extra help.

The directions say to wear the wrap 4-8 hours every 2 days as needed. There are 10 wraps to a pack which should last you a few weeks unless you decide to place them on several problem areas. I had a baby a year ago and lost most of the weight but my belly and thighs need toning so I have been using the wraps to help achieve a more balanced look. So far I am on my 3rd wrap (for both sections) and I am starting to see results. It has taken an inch off of my belly! And the best part is.....I don't feel a thing...no cold/hot feeling, no gel, no stickiness during or afterwards and I can even wear this thing in the shower!! I am very impressed with the quality and thought put into this product and will be purchasing again.

A-Flow Rainfall and Waterfall Luxury Shower Head Kit Review

Shower head shopping is really hard when you can't exactly try them out before purchasing. I decided to purchase the A-Flow Rainfall and Waterfall Luxury Shower Head Kit because of the 3 different functions and because it had a handheld shower head. I already have a shower head set like this one I purchased from Bed, Bath and Beyond for 2x this price so I knew I was going to like the option for the handheld shower head. This set is really great! It came with everything needed to install except a wrench...including the directions, plumbers tape, shower arm, wall plate and 5 extra washers. The set is made from ABS material with a chrome finish so it is very lightweight but sturdy. I love how the hand held shower arm is long so I have no trouble gripping it and the hose is super nice....much nicer than my more expensive one.

There are 3 functions on both shower heads...rainfall, waterfall and rainfall/waterfall. Just turn the dial on each shower head to the function you want and that's it. There is a diverter switch that turns the water from the main shower head to the handheld when desired. This set was very easy to set up and install and I didn't even need my husband (ok, I did...but only to tighten it) and there are no leaks. The water pressure is good and I love how it covers a wide area. The hose is long enough for me to use the handheld shower to wash my toddlers hair as well. Definitely worth the price of $21.95.

Review for Perfecto 100% Pure Badger Shaving Brush With Black Handle

My husband is always fussing because he can never get all of the hair shaved off his face the first time when shaving because the hairs are either matted down or growing crazy ways. After doing some reading on the subject, I purchased the Perfecto 100% Pure Badger Shaving Brush to help him get a good lather and lift those tiny pesky hairs off his chin before shaving. He admitted that it was weird at first to use a brush because he had always used his hands when applying shaving cream but that he liked how he didn't have to get his hands dirty anymore. Also, he stated that the badger hair is really soft but gets the job done.

The brush is 100% badger hair and placed inside a black wooden handle to make it easy to use. The logo of the company "Perfecto" is imprinted on the handle in white lettering. This brush is easy to clean with water and dries either on its side or upside down in a brush stand. Lightweight, sturdy and made with high quality materials to last a long time. My husband has used the brush several times now and loves the difference it has made in his saving routine.

Etekcity Aroma Hybrid Diffuser Review

 

After purchasing and using several diffusers in the past few months I decided to try a diffuser that would reach a larger sized room (had more water capacity). I decided to try the
Etekcity Aroma Hybrid Diffuser because of the many features it offers. This diffuser comes with the diffuser, a measuring cup, ac adapter and a user manual. It also has the ability to set a timer to allow you to use the diffuser at 60 min./180 min./360 min./ and ON intervals as well as offering the option to display 6 LED lights in red, blue, yellow, green, white and pink that can be set to bright, dim, rotating or off as it suits your needs.

This diffuser is more easy to use than the other ones I have (mammoth diffusers) and only requires that you remove the lid. Just use the included measuring cup and fill with water and your selected oils (no oils if you chose to use as a humidifier) and replace the lid (make sure the tiny arrows towards the bottom of the diffuser are lined up). There is also the option to just fill and measure by way of the side of the humidifier as there are clear lines and amounts imprinted on the inside...100ml, 200 ml and 300ml. Then select the time you want and the light will light up next to the chosen time.

Another great feature for the Etekcity diffuser is that the ac adapter is located on the underside and there is a small opening on the outer edge for the adapter to fit through creating a smooth appearance. When not in use the remaining water in the diffuser can be drained to prevent build-up. There is a stated "Drain Side" with an arrow pointing to the side you should drain the water from to prevent damage to the diffuser.

I really love all of the options on this diffuser....the lights are bright and colorful, the many timer options and the surface area that is covered by just one unit really make for a high quality product. Etekcity has taken all the guesswork out of using a diffuser and this is a great unit for anyone new to using diffusers.
