​   I live in central Texas and mosquitoes are a constant problem in the wetter months. Usually, they're just pesky and I try to stay inside at the peak times. I'm six months pregnant right now though and with the Zika virus going around right now, I'm especially wary of being outside with mosquitoes! I'm not going to stay cooped up every day though! I like to spend my weekends outside with my husband and son doing stuff. Deet spray is alright, I just don't like the smell and somehow always end up getting some on my lips which numbs them. These Mosquitavert Mosquito Repellent Bracelets help give me a little extra protection this mosquito season!

 The Mosquitavert bracelets are Deet-free and made with all natural ingredients. The package comes with five bracelets, perfect for a small group of people! The bracelets are a light green color and feel somewhat soft to the touch, almost velvety. Six holes in the back help you insure the perfect fit for any size of wrists. They do have a slight smell to them, but it's not too strong and definitely better smelling than Deet. As well as being worn on the wrist, you can also wear these on the ankle, belt loop or on any other object kept close to your body. They last for several days and you will notice they start to dry up a little and the smell goes away when they start losing their effectiveness.
   I've been noticing a lot of mosquitoes lately when we're outside.  Me and my six year old son wore these for most of the afternoon, and I didn't notice a single mosquito around us the whole time! The smell was not unpleasant, I just made sure to keep the bracelet away from my face. The bracelet was very comfortable to wear and I even forgot I was wearing it after a little while. I definitely think these bracelets work and they definitely put my mind at ease with West Nile and Zika virus going around right now!

Review- Grandpa Gus's No Touch Mouse Trap

 I live in the country and have seasonal mouse problems. The common brown field mouse is my most frequent problem. When it's cold or rainy, they tend to migrate into my house every year. I get a break most of the time during the summer when they migrate back to the fields, but a few always seem to like my house year round. Glue strips are too brutal since they'll lay there struggling for hours. We usually use the regular wooden snap traps but they can really make a mess and I'm somewhat disturbed when it crushes them in the middle of the head.

 Uncle Gus's No Touch mousetraps are an excellent solution to catching those pesky mice without having to deal with all the mess. They come in a nice 4 pack. Each box is made of semi clear plastic and measures 5"x5"x2". The box opens with a special key for extra security. The secret to these nifty traps is that they can only get set off if a mouse enters the box and sets off the trap! These boxes are tamper proof so kids and animals can't get into them. Simply rub some peanut butter onto the trap and near each of the small openings to entice the mouse in. Set the trap, close the lid and place practically anywhere you choose. Now, just sit back and wait for the mice to come to their doom...
    I love that I don't have to see the poor little mice all crushed anymore. Yes, while pesky, they are still cute! These boxes are fully disposable, but I like being thrifty and i just get my husband to clean it out when we catch one. It's so great that I don't have to worry about my curious son getting into these traps! We would always have to stash our old traps behind couches and in weird hard to reach places. This trap I can easily just set under a table by a wall and don't have to worry about it at all!

*I was not paid for this review! I received this product heavily discounted for my honest opinion!

  Warning! This shirt helps save cats!!! Now how can it get any better than that? This adorable t-shirt actually has a purpose besides looking cute on you! Arm the Animals is an organization that strives to make activism fashionable by creating killer apparel to help cash strapped animal care organizations.4,000,000 - 5,000,000 animals are euthanized every year because people simply don't do the basics such as spaying, neutering,  feeding,  and loving their furry friends. Shelters are constantly running low on funds to help care for the overflow of desperate animals. Arm the Animals graciously donates a portion of every sale to a number of highly reputable shelters with a NO KILL policy. So go ahead and feel good about yourself when you order one of these shirts because you're also helping some animals out too!

The shirt itself is very soft and extremely comfortable and fits very well.  I love the black color as it's neutral and can be paired with a number of pants I own.  And i mean it when I say that it's super comfortable! I'll definitely be lounging around the house a lot wearing this! I love the cute kitten throwing a grenade- it's funny and adorable! I'm going to really enjoy wearing this shirt out in public and explaining the cause behind it to anybody who asks. Wear your support with pride people and let's help some animals out!

 Even my six year old son thought this t-shirt was too cool, and I had to chase him around the house to get it back from him! The shirt itself is very soft and comfortable and fits very well.  I love the soft gray color as it's neutral and can be paired with a number of pants I own. This is a men's shirt, but women can definitely wear it too- I do! I love the cute kitten throwing a grenade- it's funny and adorable! I'm going to really enjoy wearing this shirt out in public and explaining the cause behind it to anybody who asks. Wear your support with pride people and let's help some animals out!
