I was recently introduced to Akeekah baby product by trying out some of their bandana bibs. The bibs were of absolutely great quality and so adorable! The quality of these pacifier clips definitely met my expectations, and I'm definitely an Akeekah fan now! The pacifier clips some in a 4 pack and have double sided designs perfect for either gender. There's a black n white polka dot with black n white chevrons on the other side, an orange polka dot with green chevrons on the other side, a red white n blue geometric design with red zig zags on the revers and a rainbow polka dot with rainbow zig zags on the other side. I absolutely love all the designs and look forward to pairing them with the perfect outfits! The material is 100% polyester, grosgrain ribbon with top notch stitching, resulting in maximum strength and color richness. They're very sturdy and can definitely stand up to a lot of handling from the little one.
The clip is very durable and secure to use without damaging clothing. It's made of a plastic material that is safer than metal if they decide to mouth it. You can attach these handy clips basically anywhere- on clothing, strollers, blankets, carriers, or even on you! To attach the clip, you have to pull up a lever to open the alligator mouth. Once they're on something, they're there to stay and it takes quite a bit of effort to pull it off. I found that if you double the elastic loop around the pacifier, it stays on much more secure, otherwise it's too loose. But if you double it, it's there to stay and is on very tight and secure. I actually think that's a good option since you can make the loop fit pretty much any pacifier shape or size out there!
Overall, these clips surpassed my expectations and I'm a true Akeekah fan now! They really do have top quality baby products! If you'd like a high quality adorable pacifier clip set, you can get these here: http://www.amztk.com/akeekahpacifierclips #akeekahbaby

I just got my first microfiber towel a few weeks ago, and absolutely fell in love with it! This is my third microfiber towel, and let me say, I've fallen in love all over again! I think this one may be my favorite one!
The Globe Trot microfiber towel is incredibly soft! I absolutely love the color scheme of a charcoal grey with vibrant blue stitching around the edges. The stitching is very tight and well done and i don't see it coming undone over even the most rigorous of use. This towel is very large, it measures 57" x 27" and seems even larger than an average bath towel. I absolutely love that it can give me the full coverage I need. There's nothing worse than a too small towel!
The towel also comes in a neat little 5" x 7" storage bag that has a mesh side to help keep it dry if you put it up slightly damp. The pouch is nice and compact and can easily fit in a gym bag or purse without taking up much room at all. It's actually quite easy to fold back up into the tiny little pouch. This towel dries super fast! I tried it out after a shower and it was barely wet. I hung dry it for about 30 minutes and it seemed completely dry. I absolutely love this towel! It's the largest one I have, yet it folds up into the most compact little package! This towel is absolutely perfect for the gym, camping or even just everyday use!

In this cold weather, my husband likes to take a big cup of coffee to work with him to sip on in the shop. One of his common complaints is that his current bottle is too small and he has to drink coffee out of a straw unless he takes the lid off. He works with granite, and there's a lot of rock dust floating around so he prefers to keep the lid on.
Royal Flask makes an awesome 30 oz flask that is sure to please my husband! Way larger than the average 24 oz tumbler, this king sized flask will keep him sipping coffee all day long! Made of stainless steel, this tumbler won't leak, spill or rust ever! It has double walled insulation to keep hot drinks hot for 12 hours and cold drinks cold for up to 24 hours as well as keeping the tumbler from sweating. One of my pet peeves is that a lot of bottles have weird nooks and crannies that are near impossible to clean. This results in a funky smell after a while that I just can't ever get rid of. This Royal Flask tumbler is remarkably easy to clean and I haven't noticed any funky odors whatsoever.
The lid is vacuum sealed and has a handy sipping spout, so no more drinking coffee out of a straw for my husband! He can definitely feel a little manlier drinking out of this one! The lid is also dishwasher safe, but not too sure if the tumbler itself is. It's so easy to clean that it really doesn't matter to me though. My husband absolutely LOVES this tumbler and it's the only one he'll take to work now!

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 Unisex bandana bib set by Akeekah. Since I'm currently expecting my second lil boy in a few months, I jumped at the chance to review these.
The 4 pack of unisex bibs I received was absolutely adorable. There is a teal chevron pattern, black and grey zigzag pattern, multi-colored arrows , and blue and tan chevron pattern. They are all unisex and would definitely work well for either boys or girls easily.
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? If you'd like to get some for your little one, they're available here: http://www.amztk.com/akeekahbibs #akeekahbaby

Selfie sticks are all the rage right now! Everywhere you look on social media, people are using them everyday. There's even silly cases of people posing with fake selfie sticks, using broom handles and pipes and other random objects. I'm not huge on taking photos of myself, but I was thrilled when I was offered to review this bluetooth selfie stick by Liansing. I'm starting to do a lot of reviews lately, and this is definitely going to make my photo shoots a lot easier from now on!
The selfie stick is very small and compact, measuring only 7.2" folded. It can easily fit in a purse, fanny pack or even your pocket if you wear cargo pants or have deep pockets without taking up too much room. When needed, it can extend up to 31.5 inches and you can get some really far shots with it! The stick came with a USB charging cable, a waterproof storage bag, a wrist strap and a very simple, easy to follow instruction manual.
To charge, you simply plug the USB cord into the base of your selfie stick and then plug the USB end into your computer or any other USB charging station. While charging, a red light comes on. I was also able to plug it into my phone charger and it fit perfect as well, which is awesome for when you're not near a computer but still have your phone charger! The selfie stick charged very quickly, it seemed fully charged in less than 15 minutes.
The grip is rubberized and spring loaded and stretched to accommodate pretty much any phone size. It's actually a little strong and takes a little bit of practice to get your phone in there. Once your phones in though, it's very secure and in no danger of falling out while you're moving around. The grip also swivels to any direction you may need it and locks in that position with a screw type locking mechanism. You can pretty much get any angle you desire with this selfie stick!
Connecting my phone to it was a breeze! I simply pressed the button to turn the stick on. It blinked while it was searching for my phone. On my phone, I did a device search in my bluetooth menu, and it found it within just a few seconds and had no problems connecting. I put my phone in the clamp and simply pressed the camera button on the stick to start taking pictures! It was so easy!!The grip is slightly rubberized and easily stays in your grasp without getting sweaty and slipping. This stick is very sturdy and easy to take steady pictures without shaking or blurring. I am very impressed with how versatile this stick is, you can get pretty much any angle or distance you may desire while still staying nice and compact. It's so easy to use that I got how to use it within seconds even though I don't have much practice with selfie sticks!

I've actually been looking for a decent bathmat for a while now. My six year old son likes to slide around like a seal in the bottom of the shower which isn't always safe. Also, I'm 6 months pregnant and getting pretty big and almost slipped the other night trying to shave my legs.
The Melapets bath mat came nicely rolled up in a compact little roll. I got mine in the yellow color, which I wasn't too crazy about, but my tub is green so it actually blended in without clashing. The bathmat has a bunch of cusioned little bubbles on the top that feel really good on my feet in the shower. I actually spent some time massaging my feet on them! It has a ton of little suction cups on the bottom that definitely held it in place very well. Installing it was very easy, I just got the bottom of my tub a little wet and pressed the mat down so the suction cups caught well. The bathmat was actually a really nice size of 26.5" x 14" and covered the majority of my tub easily. It was very sturdy to stand on and I didn't slip around at all during my shower.
The Melapets bathmat is made of durable allergen free vinyl that is anti-bacterial and mildew resistant as well. The compression molded rubber resists abrasion and is very durable. To top it all off, this bath mat is actually machine washable as well! I've never heard of that before! The spaces between each bubble allows the water and scum to drain away well and leave your mat clean and fresh after every shower.

I'm a down home country gal and I like to have fun on the weekends! Nothing wild, I usually just have a few drinks with my husband. One thing I enjoy is a decent sized shot glass! There's something unsatisfying about taking a shot that just didn't seem like enough. Then you have to take an extra to make up for it ;) Make Em Laugh makes some really awesome shot glasses! I absolutely loved their "Talk to the Hand" shot glass. It seems somewhat Spartacus like with a nice level of toughness to it. It makes me feel like I mean business when I slam one down outta it! I love that their shot glass holds a nice 2 oz which is much better than the standard 1.5 oz puny shot glass. Honestly, I'm actually used to my 3 oz shot glass because well, you know, everything's bigger in Texas! But this shot glass definitely holds enough to satisfy my larger needs! It's way better than the average shot glass! If you'd like to take a real shot, you can get one here (they also have so many other cool ones too!) http://www.amazon.com/Make-Em-Laugh-Glass--Talk/dp/B01AH2P302/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1454528098&sr=8-2&keywords=talk+to+the+hand+shot+glass #MakeEmLaugh

I like to keep my nails naturally long. Over the years, I've tried countless different types of nail files. I've never tried an etched glass nail file, and I must say, I'm blown away with the results!
The Iredesi etched glass nail file set comes in a nice little box and each file also has it's own storage tube. This would make an absolutely perfect gift for somebody! There is a larger file that measures 5.5" long and a shorter one that measures 3.5". The little tubes they come in are very sleek and will easily fir into a purse without taking up much room whatsoever. You can even put the smaller one in your pocket comfortably as well.
I loved using this etched glass file! It has a bit of a different texture thn a metal one, but I dound it a lot smoother and easier to use. They are a little thicker, making it harder to get the fine corners, but they gave me super fast results. They did prevent splitting and those rough scraggles that sometimes happen with metal or cardboard files. I definitely love these files, they're my new favorites! They're so pretty that I can easily display them in my bathroom without the boys complaining. If you'd like some great files for yourself o somebody special, you can get some here: http://www.amazon.com/Files-Premium-Quality-Etched-Scarlet/dp/B01AVID62O/keywords=nail+files #iridesiglassfile

I have a huge storage problem! There's tubs of clothes that my son has grown out of, but I need to save them since I'm currently pregnant with my second lil boy. Then me and my husband both have clothes that don't quite fit, but we can't seem to get rid of them no matter how many times we go through them. And of course I have a bunch of extra blankets that we keep for the colder times. We've had a pretty mild winter here in Texas, so I never really had to drag out the heavy blankets. They just take up a lot of room in the closet and laundry room. A wonderful storage solution is vacuum storage bags!
Mr Stimer makes a wondorously easy vacuum storage bag set. There's three vacuum seal storage bags in each set. They each measure 24"x32" and are plenty big enough to fit a large comforter, pillows, a ton of clothes or pretty much anything else in them. The bags are made of 70 micron thick high quality hypoallergenic plastic that also helps to prevent mold, mildew and bacteria from entering the bags. They'll keep whatever you put in them fresh, clean and sterile.
The vacuum storage bags are so easy to use! I put one of my large comforters in one. It fit in very easily without having to cram it in there. I used a handy little tool that came with the bag to help seal the ziplock end. Then, I simply unscrewed the round cap, sucked all the air out with my regular house vacuum and screwed the cap back on. The round seal part has a stopper that only allows air to flow in not out, so no air went gushing in when i removed my vacuum hose. It only took about 10 seconds for my vacuum to suck all the air out and it was strangely satisfying watching my blanket shrink before my eyes. My blanket went from being about 6 inches thick to less than three! It was incredibly compact! I can very easily store this blanket on a shelf or under my bed without it taking up much room at all. I'm going to have to get more of these and go on a spring cleaning spree!! I love these! These would also be great to use to save space when traveling too!

Me and my husband are survivalists as well as the proud owners of enough tools to stock a hardware store. One priceless tool we commonly carry are multitools. They can come in all styles with several different functions. Multitools are perfect for quick fixes of everyday problems if you have the right one. Cerberuso makes a multitool that is by far one of the best I've ever had!
The multitool is made of high quality durable stainless steel with a nice powder black finish. The design is very sleek and stands out from the rest by just looking so awesome and high tech. It has 13 different functions to cover every possible need. You can easily open it up to have expose the spring loaded pliers that also have a wire cutter and stripper part near he base of the pliers. On one side of the multitool you can easily fold out a sharp knife, philips screwdriver head, flathead screwdriver and a serrated saw. On the other side you can easily fold out a bottle/can opener, another flathead screwdriver, letter opener or awl and a file with a tip that also doubles as another flathead screwdriver as well. Once folded down, each piece locks into place and you can easily fold it back in by just pressing a button on the inside of the tool. I love the easy button since I'm used to a sliding lock, which can be a bit challenging if your hands are sweaty or gunky.
The multitool is a little heavy, but I just credit that to the great quality of the steel- it's meant to last and get the job done! A very nice canvas carrying pouch is included with a belt loop sewn on the back for easy portability. I'm very impressed with the quality of this multitool and I'm proud to show it off in public any chance I get. I've gotten quite a few comments on how nice it looks! It's definitely way nicer than my plain silver Leatherman! If you'd like a sharp looking, high quality multitool too, you can get one here- http://www.amazon.com/dp/B01AE0IQRE #Multitool |
