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'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 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

Me and my husband are constantly working outside doing projects on the weekend and we just have to have music while we do stuff. We live in a small town and the local radio stations only play country music from the 60's. I mean seriously, who even listens to some of that stuff anymore? It can be horrible and we end up just turning off the radio and working in silence rather than listen to some of that stuff. Don't get me wrong, we love country music- just not the slow big band opera song type they always play. Sometimes we just need to jam out to get the job done if you know what I mean. AYL makes a portable waterproof speaker that easily connects to our phones with Bluetooth and we can finally jam out!
They AYL portable speaker is very small and compact and well....cute! It only measures 3.5" x 3.5" x 1.5" and comes with a nice mesh type carrying bag. It can very easily fir into a purse or other bag so you can take it with you anywhere without it taking up too much space. It also has a nice silicone handle that you can use to easily carry it around or to hang somewhere. The speaker is very cute and attractive and I absolutely love the blue color that it came in. Also included with the speaker was a USB charging cable, and aux in cable and a short instruction manual. This powerful little speaker easily charges off a USB cable and I even plugged it into my phone charger and it charged just fine. No more worrying about changing out expensive batteries! You can listen up to 12 hours off of one charge! I simply plugged the USB cable into my computer and in less than an hour it was fully charged. While it's charging, a small orange light came on. The speaker easily paired with my phone in just a few seconds, it came up under "SoundFit". It makes a cute little chime when it connects and it's ready to go.
When I played my first song on it, I was surprised with how great the sound quality was! It sounded just as good as my 60" soundbar that I have and actually played bass really good. On top of the speaker is volume buttons, a power button and a play/pause button so you can control it from there or though your phone. It has a very versatile range of up to 33 feet, so you can put it somewhere and be pretty far away with your phone and still control it easily. I'm very happy that it's waterproof as well just in case it starts raining while we're outside I don't have to have a heart attack if it gets a little wet. I wasn't actually brave enough to throw it in a bucket of water, but the instructions suggest to let it drain fully if it gets wet. The speaker itself seems very durable and can definitely be dropped and roughed up a bit without any damage occurring. This speaker is absolutely awesome with incredible sound quality! I can't wait to take it camping! If you'd like an absolutely awesome waterproof bluetooth speaker too, you can get one here: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B016G6X9WC #AYLBluetoothspeaker

Having a six year old son, I'm constantly having to pack him lunches because he's so picky he won't eat the school lunches most of the time. I've tried several types of lunch boxes, and end up having problems with them leaking or popping open in his backpack. It's always a nice surprise to open his backpack and finding crushed crackers coating everything in there. Yeah.
Royale Kitchenware make an adorable ORGANIC lunch box that is so easy to use! The lunchbox is made of bio-degradable rice husk material without any added chemicals. That is just too cool! The box that it came in was very snazzy and perfect for gifting. The organic lunch box has a really tight seal and you have to put a little bit of an effort to pulling the lid off. But it's completely leak-proof! I actually put water in it, and not a single drop escaped. It comes with two dividers that easily slide in with minimal effort to portion off into two or three sections. The lunch box also comes with an adorable spork. It's very cute, with a little panda head on the handle and has safe, rounded edges which are suitable for even young kids. There's a velcro strap that is easy to slide around the whole container to keep the spork handy for lunch. The lunch box itself is nice and compact, measuring 7" x 4.5" x 2" and can easily be slipped into a backpack or purse without taking up to much room. I am completely impressed how this nifty little lunch box is totally organic and how leak-proof it is!! I think it is too cute!

My husband recently had his credit card stolen without it even leaving his wallet! It's amazing how advanced thieves are getting nowadays. Somehow, they can steal your entire identity just by walking past you. It's extremely frustrating to cancel all your cards and then having to use cash for everything for two weeks until your new cards come in. You never realize how much you use your cards until it's time to pay all your bills, get gas,, or simply go grocery shopping! But, with thieves getting more advanced, ways of fighting them are getting more advanced too. While there are RFID blocking sleeves, they can be troublesome to fumble with them trying to get your card out at the register and they can get quite bulky if you need quite a few of them. ID Locker has come up with a perfect way of fighting those annoyingly advanced thieves! They produce a whole RFID blocking wallet.
ID Locker's RFID blocking wallet come nicely gift wrapped, and perfect for gifting to any man in your life. Inside their nice sturdy box, the wallet also comes in a nice cloth pouch that is very nicely crafted. The wallet itself is made of scratch resistant leather in a nicely polished black color. The wallet is very nicely made, with fine stitching along the edges and is pleasant to the touch. The leather seems very durable and can withstand quite a bit of battering. The RFID blocking material is built into the inside of the wallet, you don't even see it, it looks just like a normal wallet.
The wallet is very easily accessible with a flip top ID pocket and eight credit card slots that perfectly accommodate your cards. It also has a nice big cash compartment as well, just like a regular wallet. The wallet is very easy to use, and very convenient to get to your cards whenever you need quick access. It's nice and slim, not bulky and bulging like some other wallets, perfect for slipping in your back pocket without feeling like you're sitting on a phonebook! This wallet really works!! Usually, when my husband gets to work, he just passes his whole wallet underneath the time clock and it scans his time card. Well, yesterday morning, it couldn't scan it, and he had to go take his card out of the wallet before it would scan. It's a little inconvenient, but at least we know it really works! He'd rather do that than have to go through canceling cards and getting new ones which is a nightmare! My husband feels so much more secure going places with this wallet now!

I just got my first microfiber towel a few weeks ago, and absolutely fell in love with it! This is my second microfiber towel, and let me say, I've fallen in love all over again!
I absolutely love the color of this towel! It's a nice rich, vibrant blue. It's actually very soft, but still thin like other microfiber towels. It's even larger than a regular bath towel, measuring 52"x 31" and gives you a nice full coverage. I hate towels that are too small, and this one definitely gives me nice coverage! I decided to test it out by drying off with it after a shower. It wicked away all my moisture with barely any effort and the towel itself barely felt damp when I was done. I'm amazed at how fast my hair dried with this towel! I let it hang dry for about 30 minutes, and then it easily rolled up into a really tiny roll that is perfect for gym bags or even your purse! The edges are nicely stitched, and I don't see them coming undone even under the most rough abuse. I'm definitely becoming a huge fan of microfiber towels, especially after trying this nice big one out!

I have a six year old son and it's hard to try to keep my backseat clean! I can't tell you how many times I find food wrappers, french fries, candy and other misc stuff scattered all over my backseat and floorboard after a long trip. I've tries keeping a plastic grocery bag in the backseat, but somehow he conveniently forgets about it while he's absorbed in his coloring book. I was offered to review this awesome Car Bage Can by Vayeebo , and it's absolutely wonderful!
The Car Bage Can came neatly folded up and is fully collapsible at any time if you need to stash it out of the way. It easily pops up into a nice solid rectangle that measures 11.8" high, 7" wide and 11.8" deep. It came with a handful of plain plastic bags with handles and can easily accommodate a regular plastic grocery bag when you run out of them. The inside part can easily be removed if your bag leaks or falls in case a zesty kiddo throws something in there that's extra messy. It's also waterproof, so if something messy does end up in the bottom, you don't have to worry about it leaking out all over your floorboards! When you don't want it open, you can easily shut the top with a velcro seal. The Car Bage can also has a handy little side pocket that I found perfect for stashing the extra trash bags. There's also two small mesh pouches on either side that would be perfect for keeping wipes or hand sanitizer in too! There's a strap with snaps that easily attached to the back of a seat or any other place that you may desire to anchor it to.
Overall, this Car Bage Can is going to greatly help me keep my car clean, and my six year old is actually interested in throwing his trash in there! It's very easy to clean and easy to stash away if need be!
