  I'm super picky when it comes to hot sauce. I used to not even like it and wouldn't even think about putting some on a taco. However, my husband loves hot sauce and over the past few years has gotten me to start using it. Now, I'm currently six months pregnant, and for some reason I've just been craving hot sauce on everything! There's no way I can have a breakfast taco without halfway drowning it in some hot sauce. I don't like the chunky salsa types, only the actual hot sauce types. I'm not huge on a lot of heat, but some heat is ok.
  First off, I gotta say I absolutely love their label design! It reminds me of Flash Tattoo Art! And the name is absolutely appealing as well! Mr. Biscuits Burning Love hot sauce is almost a little too much heat for me, but my husband loves it! It comes in a nice 5 oz bottle which is pretty much the standard size. The key ingredients are fresh habañero, jalapeño, fresno and Thai chili, garlic, onion, organic citrus fruits and organic fireweed honey. It is all natural, gluten free, fresh, and has no added fillers. It has high heat with low vinegar. Like I said, it was a little too hot for me, barely, but the flavors were great! The flavors are well blended, you immediately taste the peppers with a follow up of the citrus and honey. Even though it has honey, it definitely wasn't sweet though! It was very low in vinegar, which I really like since I don't like twangy stuff too much. My mouth was pleasantly burning for about 30 minutes after eating a taco with this! It wasn't overpoweringly hot, just a little too much for me. My husband absolutely loved it though and slathered on some seconds!

  Anybody who has ever used a garden hose knows hoe much of a pain it is to get it all rolled back up and put away neatly. Most of the time, it feels like I'm wrestling with a giant snake trying to get the hose back in the storage box. Sure, there's things that you can turn a crank and it'll roll it up for you, but still that takes a while. A simple, no-fail solution is to get an expandable garden hose!

 The Ry gardener expandable hose is a nice eye-catching beautiful blue color that you can easily spot in the yard. This durable hose is the only one on the market that has 4 layers for extra strength! Each layer is high pressure-resistance-under 170PSI/12.7Bar, which is a lot of pressure! It's very lightweight and easy to transport wherever you may need it. I can carry the whole hose with one hand easily without it seeming to weigh anything at all. It will never kink, tangle or twist up! When in use, it lengthens from 17 feet all the way to 50 feet long fully expanded. That is nice and long and can reach anywhere in a standard yard. With aluminum clamps and brass shut-off valve connectors, it has higher resistance to external hazards and elements.
  The hose also comes with a high quality spray nozzle with 8 adjustable patterns-  cone, flat, soaker, stream, full, angle, shower, and mist. You can easily change between each setting by turning a ring on the tip of the sprayer with just one hand. The shut-off valve is perfect if you want to completely turn it off altogether, however if you just don't press the spray handle, it doesn't leak at all. A handy hose hanger and some replaceable washers are also included as some handy bonuses.

  Using the hose was very easy, and somehow oddly satisfying. I simple screwed one end into my spigot, and screwed the nozzle onto the other end of the hose. I turned my water on and watched the hose expand to a nice full volume. No water leaked whatsoever anywhere, it only came out when I used the sprayer. After I was done, I turned my water off, and the hose stayed full. I just sprayed the last of the water out of the sprayer until the hose was completely empty and shriveled up again.  I was able to take the sprayer off, shake the hose to get the last of the water out, and actually fit it back in the box for easy storage! I am very impressed with the ease of use of this awesome hose and the easy nozzle! It is so easy to handle and never threatened to kink or tangle up. This hose is a lot longer than other hoses as well, allowing me to reach parts of my yard I wasn't able to previously! This is the best expandable garden hose I've ever used!

 If you're like most people, making your yard look good is a priority. Curb appeal is the first thing people see when they come to your house. Bushes especially tend to grow out of control very rapidly. The Careful Gardener makes a Pruning Saw to rival others of it's size.

 The Pruning Saw is a fast cutting, foldable and easy to use saw that is perfect for trimming up your bushes quickly and effortlessly. It's also a must have when you're camping to get some good kindling for the fire. With a bright yellow and black color, it is very easy to spot among grass or brush if you set it somewhere. The blade is very sharp and cuts very quickly with minimal effort. The handle has a hand guard that helps protect your hand and has a rubberized grip to help you hold on to it better. The saw folds up and releases the blade by pressing a durable switch on the side. When open, the blade securely locks into place and actually stays put very strongly. This is a really great quality saw and is backed by a lifetime warranty!

 I tried out the pruning saw on this berry tree on the corner of my house that always gets random wild growth all over it. The saw was a little hard to unfold, you definitely need two hands to fold the blade out and lock it into place. It was very comfortable to hold and didn't slip at all during my cutting. It sawed through the branched like butter! It really surprised me how effortless it was and I was able to saw quite a few branches in just a few seconds! It cuts extremely well and very quickly. To fold up, you have to press the locking lever and pull the blade up a little for it to release and fold back up. When the blade was out, it was very sturdy and did not threaten to fold back up on me. This is a really durable, great quality saw and I would completely recommend it to anybody with bushes to trim. It will also be invaluable camping, and I can't wait to use it the next time I go!

 Though I'm only 26, I'm still concerned about caring for my skin, especially my face. It's the first thing people see usually! I've tried Azure Naturals products before, and they've worked fabulously! The Ocean Minerals line has surpassed my previous expectations with their high quality products. Their whole system of the Ocean Minerals Hydration will leave your face glowing, hydrated, feeling great and looking good! You should start with the Seaweed Hydration Mask, then the Organic Facial Cleanser, the Organic Facial Toner and lastly the Organic Hydration Creme. When properly layered, they maximize the anti-aging benefits of one another. Age spots diminish, blemishes fade, fine lines fill in, collagen is boosted and your skin glows! Anti-radiation properties found in the seaweed help protect your skin from daily and long term sun damage and aging.

​The Ultimate Seaweed Hydration Mask is made of deeply healing clays of Kaolin and Smectite and are infused with the benefits of over 90 marine extracts and trace minerals to help clarify, soothe and clean your skin. Seaweed, Irish Moss and Spirulina are included to help restore firmness and elasticity to your skin. A blend of safflower oil, sweet almond oil, rice brand oil and grapeseed oil provide significant levels of antioxidant and hydration protection. The mask is gentle enough for all skin types and can be used several times a week or even daily.
 To use, simply apply a generous amount to your face and neck, or even to your whole body. Allow to dry. It is a very creamy mask and doesn't completely harden like other clay masks. It just gets stiff and flaky and still flexible. Use a damp steamed towel to wipe off or remove with warm water.
  I rinsed my face with plain water and then applied the mask. It gave me a nice cooling feeling and started to tighten a little as it dried, but I considered that a really good thing. It's very light and not heavy at all. The smell is pleasant, it's not overwhelming or chemical smelling like some other stuff. I let it dry for about 20 minutes and then rinsed off with warm water. My skin felt so smooth, soft and hydrated! I feel like it completely rejuvenated my face with just the first use!

 ​After finishing my mask treatment,  I tried out the Organic Facial Cleanser. The Facial cleanser is saturated with a proprietary seaweed and mineral complex and is packed with vitamins, minerals, trce elements and polysaccharides for a balanced, dewy complexion. 
 To apply, you simply dispense a small amount in your hands, lather with warm water and rub into your face in small circular motions. Rinse off with warm water and you're done!
  I only had to use a tiny amount, a little bit goes quite a ways. The pump dispenser helps to regulate small amounts. It is a clear gel like texture and lathers very well with warm water. The smell is very pleasing and actually smells good! After massaging into my face, I rinsed off with warm water and it felt so revitalizing and refreshing! My skin immediately felt even silkier and smoother and was absolutely glowing!

​Following the Facial Cleanser, I used the Facial Toner. This unique moisture-repleneshing complex protects against harmful external drying and ensure optimal hydration. Infused with seaweed and Irish moss, it provides essential A,B,C and E vitamins as well as 92 other vital nutrients for the skin. This toner offers advanced restorative and healing components for all skin types, even the most sensitive skin.
  The toner can be applied all day, every day whenever you may need it as a spritzer to help rejuvinate your skin. Simply apply after washing an before you put your makeup on. It can also be used throughout the day without drying out your skin, it actually hydrates it more. It has a spray pump that sprays evenly whenever you may need a quick spritz. It helps keep oil to a minimum and leaves your skin feeling cool and refreshed. The smell is very pleasant, it's not chemical smelling at all. Every time I use it, my face feels totally refreshed and noticeably softer!

The last step to the rejuvinating Ocean Mineral Line is the Mineral Hydration Creme. It's a key component to the Ocean Mineral fce care protocol. This cream is chocked full of phyto-chemicals and 90+ ocean minerals, structured water and polysaccharides combined with the proven hydrating ingredients of shea butter and jojoba oil. It provides super hydration and moisturization to your skin. This deeply penetrating creme is the perfect accompanient to the rest of the line and is light and fresh for all skin types.
  After using the rest of the line, simply use the pump top to squirt a small amount in your hand. Rub in small circles to your face, neck and wherever else you may desire it. It's a very light creame and absorbs very quickly without leaving an oily or greasy residue. The smell is very pleasant and not chemical like other cremes. My skin felt even more hydrated and I was positively glowing by the end of all my treatments! 
 
This whole Ocean Mineral lines has done wonders for me! I live in Texas and it gets quite hot and dry around here, causing my face and skin to get dry and break out sometimes. After the first use of these products, my skin feels so silky and smooth! My skin is more elastic and hydrated and very pleasing to the touch. I'm only 26, but it still looks like a few years got taken off of my face! I would absolutely recommend this line to anybody and everybody- it is amazing! I feel like I got a complete spa treatment in the comfort of my own home!

 Live Infinitely has come out with some really great, high quality products that have become some of my favorite everyday items. I have one of their muscle stick rollers and a cooling towel, and they are just amazing! I had very high expectations for their Infuser Water Bottle, and I was not disappointed! 

  Since my favorite color is purple, I got the water bottle in the Orchid Purple color. I absolutely love the rich, perfect shade of purple! It's a very nice 32 oz so you can make a drink to last for hours. I hate bottles that are too small, and this king sized one perfectly covers my needs! It's made of top quality Eastman Copolyester Tritan that is FDA approved, BPA free , eco-friendly and leak proof. It's completely dishwasher safe, so you can just take it apart and throw it in there with everything else without worrying about it.
  The lid had a handy thumb lock on it, releasing a flip top lid that covers the nozzle that you drink out of. It's completely leak proof, so you can easily just throw it in a gym bag without worrying about it leaking on everything.  The infuser part is the first full sized one on the market. It goes all the way to the bottom to make sure ever last drop gets saturated with flavor. I never understood why nobody else came out with this before! There's a very nice no slip grip on the side that won't slip out of even the sweatiest hand. A handy clip is also on the side of the lid so you can clip it to a bag or on your bike if you need. This cup fits perfectly in my car's cupholder, which is a huge bonus to me! 
  To use, you simply fill the infuser with fruit or whatever else you may desire, drop it in the bottle, fill with water, shake and let sit for about 10 minutes. This bottle infuses my water with flavor way better than any other one that I've tried! And if you just want plain water or any other beverage, simply remove the infuser and you still have a nice 32 oz water bottle. It's so easy to clean since it doesn't have any weird crannies that get stinky over time. Every single piece comes apart for easy cleaning! I absolutely love this infuser bottle and how durable and versatile it is! Live Infinitely has done it yet again!

  I'm an avid coffee drinker! Every morning I wake up at 5 am and the first thing I do is go get our coffee started. I usually have it with a few sweet n lows, some powdered french vanilla creamer and a splash of milk to make it yummy. I live out in the country, so it's not an option to go get a luxurious cafe cup of coffee, so I haven't had a frothed coffee in years! Well, this morning I just had what seemed like the best cup of coffee ever after trying out the MLVOC Handheld Electric Foam Maker!

 The Handheld Electric Foam Maker can instantly transform your regular old coffee into a luxurious, rich treat in seconds. It's wireless, and just takes two AA batteries that you install through the bottom. It's very small and compact and very easy to hold in your hand. A thumb operated power switch is located on the side, very easy to use. The mixer itself is very quiet, my phone vibrates louder than it, so you don't have to worry about disturbing anybody else while you use it early in the morning.
   I tried frothing my coffee first, and it whipped the liquid around surprisingly smooth and fast. My coffee frothed up pretty good, but I don't think I had enough milk to get a good froth. I tried it on a small cup of milk next. I put only about 1/4 cup of milk in the glass. After just about 30 seconds of frothing, the milk was all the way up to the top of the glass! It created the foam very fast! It was a very smooth, rich froth, you couldn't get better out of a steamer in a coffee shop! I poured it on top of my coffee and- Oooh la la!!! It was absolutely amazing! So rich, creamy and delicious!! This handheld mixer is getting a permanent place next to my coffee machine because I'm never having another cup without frothing first! I absolutely love this nifty little machine!!

 If you're like the majority of people, you like to have your yard looking nice. Whether you're a hardcore gardener or a fix the yard once a month type of person, a good pair of shears is an invaluable tool.

 The Careful Gardener Gardening Shears are built to last with a lifetime warranty! The silicone grip handles are easy to hold onto and don't slip if your hands get sweaty. The bright red color makes it easier to spot in a garden or flowerbed. They have spring loaded action with an easy to use locking mechanism. I was able to open and close the lock with a flick of one finger. The weight is a little heavy and not all cheap like a bunch of other types I've tried before.  You can tell these really are a quality tool from the first second you pick it up!

These pruners may me small, but they sure pack a lot of bite! It was raining outside when I reviewed these, so I went and snipped off a few twigs from some bushes I have. They were tough enough to cut through sticks about 3/4" thick without too much effort. Also, they are delicate enough to easily prune your flowers or herbs as well. These are very versatile shears with multiple uses and can cover your every garden tending need!

  I just recently "discovered" baby bandana bibs. I think they are just so adorable, and they're also like a fashion statement while still being completely functional! I was given the opportunity to review this baby bandana bib set by Arimy Baby. Since I'm currently expecting my second lil boy in a few months, I jumped at the chance to review these.

 The first thing I noticed (besides the adorable designs), was how they underside is nicely padded and very soft. These bibs would be perfect to put on a shirtless baby without any chafing whatsoever! The snaps are metal with two different positions on each side for the perfect fit. The bibs are nice and precut, so you don't have to worry about folding them to the perfect bandana shape. They seem very durable, the edges are well stitched and these seem like high quality bibs! And have I mentioned that they are just too adorable? The bibs came in four completely gender neutral designs. There's a white with gray/red polka dots, an Aqua with Brown spots, a Yellow with Glasses and my favorite- a Black with cute white owls on it!  They are too cute and will pair nicely with a variety of outfits!

  I'm a regular coffee drinker and I also used to smoke for about 8 years, so my teeth are stained from all the years of those activities. I haven't tried too many whitening solutions because I'm not too thrilled about wearing my enamel down with chemicals. The Dr. Whitening Natural Teeth Whitening Kit is a perfect all natural solution that I decided to try.

  The all natural whitening kit includes two special pad brushes and two packs of 5 refill pads. They don't list the actual ingredients, but say that they're all natural and organic with no chemicals. They are very simple to use. First, you wet the tip of the scrub sponge and then scrub your teeth with it instead of a toothbrush in an up and down motion. It easily removes plaque and stains with minimal effort. For stubborn spots, scrub them a little extra. You must gargle after using them! I suggest not to swallow at all while using them, just to be safe. Do not wipe your gums with it, just keep it on the teeth.
  When done with the scrub, remove the sponge and dispose of it. To refill, simply open the scrub brush, Insert a refill and fold the sponge and then close the brush. To maintain your teeth, clean every 15 days or more.

                                               BEFORE                                                                                                 AFTER
Using the teeth whitening sponge was very quick and easy. I simply wet it and scrubbed my teeth for about 5 minutes, making sure to get all the grooves and edges. It didn't have an overpowering taste, just a light taste but it wasn't unpleasant or bothersome at all. After I thought I was satisfies, I made sure to do a few rounds of gargling with plain water. Immediately, by running my tongue over my teeth, they felt a lot cleaner. I waited about 5 minutes and then took the results picture. As you can see, my teeth actually looked a lot whiter and cleaner than they did before!! That's just after one use! I'm actually incredibly impressed with this whitening system and i'm going to make it one of my regular grooming!

 I'm not a big purse type of gal, I always find them getting in my way somehow. I occasionally like wearing a fanny pack when we go on daytrips to places though since they're more convenient and secure. Say you have to go on a roller coaster- you can't take your purse and you have to leave it unsupervised somewhere. You CAN take a fanny pack with you though. But let's face it, fanny packs are considered dorky and outdated by most people. Well not this one! This leather fanny pack is actually very stylish and edgy! I don't mind being seen in public wearing it!

 The Hybrid Hip Fanny pack is made of a luxurious full grain black leather with hand stitched white threading. The stitching is very precise, tight and durable and will last a very long time. The fully adjustable waist belt fits waists from 30" to 40" and can also double as a shoulder strap if you'd prefer.   The easy pull zippers are of really nice quality, they're not the cheapie ones that get put out there nowadays. The toggle fastener on one pocket is very strong and made of quality metal as well. There is one large pocket which measures about 10 inches long and will easily carry larger travel items. The two smaller compartments measure 4x5" and fit a cell phone or wallet perfectly.
   The whole fanny pack measures 10" long, 6.5" high and 1" deep. It can carry all your essential items and still not be too bulky. I love the stylish, modern look of this pack and it is great for either men or women. I absolutely love the genuine leather smell that comes with it! The texture is very smooth and pleasant to the touch and you can tell that it really is genuine leather!
