I live in a pretty small house and storage is always a challenge for me. My usual way of storing my mops and brooms was to just lean them in the corner between the fridge and a counter. I hate how they'd somehow get tangled up whenever I tried to pull one out. I found a simple solution to keep them organized with the HS Home Solution Mounted Broom and Mop Holder.
The mounted holder is grey and comes with a set of 6 screws along with sheetrock screws if you need to. It was very easy to install, just level it in a good place and screw it in! There's 5 ball slots that hold up to 2.5cm in diameter. There's also a square rubber brake that can be moved to accommodate brooms up to 3 cm if you need it. Six handy hooks fold down if you need to hand cleaning clots or light buckets on them as well. To put a broom or mop in, just slide it in from the top and gravity makes the ball grip it in place. I found these to hold my broom and mop very securely! Now I can easily grab one without fighting all the others and my corner looks so much better!

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!

Where I live, in Central Texas, it can get hotter than a skillet on most days. This winter, our average temperature averaged in the 50's and today it's actually pushing 90! In the peak of summer, we usually average about 106 on a nice day. I like to do a lot of activities outside, but sometimes it's too darn hot! The last time I had a garage sale, I ended up burning so bad I got blisters and was peeling for weeks afterwards. Staying cool is a necessity sometimes! I have a Live Infinitely Muscle Stick roller that was amazing and really high quality so I was thrilled to try out one of their cooling towels.
The Live Infinitely cooling towels comes in a nice compact hard shell container that is perfect for throwing in a gym bag or purse. The towel itself is a beautiful, vibrant pink color and the texture is soft and kind of smooth feeling. There's a slight smell kind of like paint, but it didn't really bother me at all. The towel measures 31.5" x 13" and is perfect for draping around your neck or over your head. I noticed that the towel was a little cool feeling directly out of the package. to use, I wet it and then snapped it a few times. It was pretty neat how it immediately cooled down and felt very refreshing! Even though I just wet it, it felt like it was already dry. The towel cools to about 30 degrees below it's average temperature and can stay that way for up to 4 hours. To recharge, you just get wet again and snap it some more. I love how it doesn't get your clothing all wet when you're using it too. I absolutely love this towel and will b using it quite a bit this coming summer when I'm working outside!

I'm currently 6 months pregnant, and lately my feet have been swelling a little bit. Splett Sports gave me a wonderful pair of compression socks to try out, and they really made a difference! The socks came in an attractive black and white striped design that will go with any of my outfits easily. They're in a one size fits all Medium size. I'm a women's size 7.5 and they were a little large on me, the heel was up on my ankle. They measure 13.5" long and went all the way up to my knees. The material is very breathable and durable and seems of great quality! Putting them on took a minutes since they're tight, but that's how they're supposed to be. They were nice and snug and didn't slip or move around after hours of wearing them around the house. The socks were actually very comfortable and my feet didn't ache as much as they usually do. I love these socks and will be wearing them quite a bit now!

As I'm currently 6 months pregnant, I'm starting to stock up on baby gear. Lately, I've become obsessed with pacifier clips! They come in so many different cute designs, but these pacifier clips from Turtles are so absolutely adorable!!
The Turtles pacifier clips set has three clips and includes a bonus gift of a pacifier case! The clips are absolutely adorable with a different design on each side. There's a blue diamond/ red owl, green with stars/ colored owls, and black n white cat/ white n black cat designs. The clips are nickel-free metal with plastic alligator teeth to prevent tearing of clothing and lock on very securely. The loops are cloth and can accommodate any pacifier size, however they are not elastic. They can easily hold a blanket or small toy as well!
The included gift of a pacifier case can easily hold two pacifiers along with the clips and closes airtight to help keep them sanitary. The case easily attaches onto a stroller or carrier handle to keep pacifiers within easy reach. I absolutely love how cute the designs are on the clips and I love the included pacifier holder case! They're going to really make my life easier with the new baby! If you'd like some adorable clips, you can get some here: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B015UEX1RO #TurtlusPacifierClip

Eating healthier is becoming more important nowadays. Finding different ways to cook vegetables that the kids will eat is also a great challenge. A great way to "sneak" some veggies in is to spiralize them!
The More Cuisine Essentials Spiralizer comes in a nice burgundy wine color. It's pretty small, which makes it easy to store in a drawer. No assembly is required straight out of the package, it's ready to go! The package includes the double ended spiralizer, a spiked cap to help push veggies in and a nifty little cleaning brush. It's intended to use with cucumbers, carrots, zucchini, radish, and potatoes. The different ends give you different sized spirals, one slightly larger than the other.
The spiralizer was very easy to use with soft vegetables. I tried doing a small potato in it the other night, but it didn't even begin to cut it. When I tried a cucumber, the larger side worked wonderful, but the thinner side didn't really slice the noodles all the way through. Maybe if I tried firmer pressure, it might have cut better, but I was applying firm pressure the whole time. If you prepare soft vegetables on the larger side, it works magnificent. Forget about using it for potatoes or any other hard vegetable though. It kind of let me down since I've tried other More Cuisine products and they were awesome!

Ear infections are pretty common in my household. However, we don't always like to for to the doctor for every slight irritation as the doctor usually won't do anything significant for us. Having our own otoscope will greatly help us with self-diagnosis of small problems and help us determine if we really do need to go to a doctor or not.
The Gurin Otoscope comes in a nice little zippered leather case with a sleeve for the otoscope and a sleeve for the specula. Eight specula tips are included so you can easily switch them out between people. They're reusable, so you just need to disinfect them and store them back in the clear plastic tube they store in. The otoscope takes two 'C' batteries which are inserted in the base. The otoscope is made of chrome plated brass that is very durable and actually somewhat heavy. The handle is texturized and provides a nice, sturdy grip without slipping. The lens is 5X and made of specially coated glass to resist scratches. A swivel on the otoscope easily moves the lens on or off. The light is a 3.2V halogen that is very bright, though it also includes an all metal insufflator outlet to facilitate the use of an insufflation bulb if you choose.
Me and the whole family tested this out on each other and checked all of our ears easily. With a little bit of angling, I was able to see very clearly into the insides of my husband's and son's ears. It's grossly fascinating what you may find in there! From hairs to little flakes of earwax, it was quite interesting! I could even see some scarring in my husband's ear from a previous infection. I can't wait to try this out the next time one of us gets an infection to examine the inflammation and any other side effects.

When we go on car trips, I always use one of our phones for maps to help us easily find the best route. Usually, I end up just holding the phone or setting it on the dash where it tends to slide around since I usually let my husband drive. I was thrilled to try out this long arm car mount by Liansing!
The Liansing Universal car mount came in a small box that is perfect for gifting. It consists of two pieces that you need to put together. To install, you simply unscrew a round gear on the base of the clip and place the ball of the arm inside ans then tighten. The arm is very flexible and can really be adjusted to absolutely any angle you may desire. The suction cup has a pressure lever on it and is really strong. It held my phone with no problem for a long 3 hour car trip without moving at all. The clamps were very strong and rubberized on the corners so it didn't damage my phone at all. I have a Moto G phone with a thick case on it and it fit perfectly in the grips. The swivel ball on the grip helped me move my phone around to even more angles. I was always able to have my phone perfectly positioned for the whole trip and was able to easily re-adjust it whenever I needed to. I absolutely love this mount! I'm never taking a long trip without it!

Even though I'm only 26, I still want to try to take care of my skin, especially my face. Though it's only noticeable to me, I can see some fine lines starting to crinkle around my eyes after very close examination. I still look very youthful, but do worry a little bit about aging. I've found Azure Naturals to have some very nice products with real results!
While taking Vitamin C supplements is greatly beneficial to your health, applying it directly to your skin is 20 times more effective than taking orally. As you age, collagen tends to break down, producing wrinkles. Vitamin C works to repair the collagen, improving your skin's elasticity and repairing or preventing wrinkles. Vitamin C also helps to significantly reduce age spots and is a lot safer and cheaper than using chemical peels or lasers.
The Vitamin C serum comes in a nice little 1 oz bottle that will very easily fit into any makeup bag for convenience. The pump top helps you get the perfect amount you may need without making a mess. I actually loved the smell, it almost smells like oranges and is light and fresh. I've tried some serums that had heavy, cloying smells before that I just couldn't stand. I love this smell though! The serum is a light orangey yellow color but spreads on clear and absorbs very fast. I noticed a little tightening but it seemed like a good thing, not the sticky tightening other products have given me. I've been using this for a few days now, and I've noticed my skin is softer, smoother, firmer and more youthful looking. While my fine lines around my eyes are only noticeable to me, they seem to have lightened up a bit. I love the smell, and I love the results so far! I'll definitely keep on using this serum!

Having our own otoscope will greatly help us with self-diagnosis of small problems and help us determine if we really do need to go to a doctor or not.
The SantaMedical Otoscope comes with a hard plastic carrying case with molded spots for the included pieces. It includes the otoscope, 3 different sized specula and a spare 2.5V halogen lamp. The otocope takes two "C" batteries to power it which you install through the base. Different specula tips attach by a pin swivel into a groove at the tip of the otoscope. The magnifying lens swivels to suit your current need. The lamp is very bright and fully illuminates inside of the orifice you may be examining. With a grooved handle, it was very easy to hold onto without slipping around.
Me and the whole family tested this out on each other and checked all of our ears easily. The tips do not have disposible covers, so you need to clean them with an alcohol wipe between people to reduce spreading of bacteria.
