I like to keep my nails naturally long and with this winter weather, they've been getting really brittle with lots of chipping. I hate it when i'm out away from the house somewhere and get a hangnail with no nail files in sight! I like to try and keep my nails nicely rounded and smooth so I don't accidentally scratch my husband or son, so I jumped at the chance to review these cute little manicure blocks by the Nail File Guru!
The manicure sponges are very small, they only measure 1" by 1". I think they are absolutely perfect for throwing in your purse, pocket or any other place you might need them on the go without taking up too much room. The purple side is more coarse for getting those troublesome hangnails and chips. The other side is blue and is fine for getting your edges nice and smooth. They are very soft, and I found it quite easy to get that little area where the nail meets the skin in the corner. They're very durable, and easily did both my hands without seeming to wear down at all. I wish I had these back when I was a waitress! They would've been perfect for throwing in my apron without being bulky!

My husband likes to shave either when he's in the shower or right when he gets out. One of his pet peeves is that the mirrors he use are always fogged up and he has to constantly wipe them off in the middle of his shave. When I was offered to review this nifty mirror by Shower on a Rope, I thought it'd be absolutely perfect for him!
The shower mirror is of a nice chrome color that fits in with pretty much any other decor. The mirror measures 5.75" in diameter and is a lot larger than my husbands current puny hand mirror. It has 3X magnification so you can easily see what you're doing in great detail. I like using it myself just for putting on my makeup since I can do some fine detailing on eyeshadow now! The mirror mounts with a suction cup base that measures 2.75" by itself. The suction cup is VERY good and mounts easily without having to wet it first. You just walk up and pop it on wherever you'd like! The base also swivels on a ball joint to reach absolutely whatever angle you might desire.
I took a very steamy shower, and the mirror really is FOG FREE!! It was absolutely clear and not a hint of fog on it whatsoever, even though the mirror I put it on was heavily fogged up!
I am very impressed with this shower mirror, it really does everything it claims to do! This is definitely getting a permanent honorary place in my bathroom from now on!

My husband recently got his credit card information stolen without his card ever leaving his wallet! It was a complete nightmare to get everything straightened out. You never realize how much you use your card until you have to go a few weeks without it. The bills still need to get paid, groceries need to be bought.....and you have no card! With today's technology apparently thieves are getting pretty advanced and can steal your entire identity just by walking past you! I gladly accepted the opportunity to review this RFID money belt with bonus sleeves by Alpha Dog.
The money belt is made of 100% blocking RFID waterproof rip-stop Nylon. It seems very durable and can stand up to any challenge you might put it through. It's nice and slim and can easily be worn underneath your shirt without a big bulge, making it very easy to disguise your valuables. It has a larger pocket with a zipper that has two smaller mesh compartments in it to easily keep everything organized. It also has a smaller side pocket that is perfect for keeping change, headphones or any other smaller item that you might need to get to quickly. The strap part is adjustable and very stretchy to fit almost any body shape. It's pretty comfortable to wear and you can easily forget that you're wearing it after a while.
The money belt came with 6 smaller RFID sleeves and one larger sleeve. Each sleeve is lined with a metal foil-like material that is supposed to stop thieves. Each smaller sleeve perfectly holds a credit card. The larger sleeve is perfect for either a passport or for putting the smaller sleeves in it for even more protection. I definitely feel more secure wearing this money belt whenever I have to travel! It's very lightweight, comfortable and gives me peace of mind!

We like to go camping a lot and it's always a challenge to take along my makeup bag and any other hygiene stuff that we might need. Usually we just throw it all in a grocery bag and call it done. Then, when we're out there, we end up having to dig through the bag just to find whatever we might need at the moment. I was offered to review this hanging toiletry bag from Odessa, and I instantly found it to be an item that is going to go on many trips with us!
The toiletry bag has four rows with ten compartments in total. There's a handy zipper along the top of each row to keep everything securely in place. That's a huge bonus, because I've tried a similar bag before without zippers and everything ended up falling out as soon as I picked it up! The compartments are in several different sizes that can fit pretty much anything you might need to travel with while staying neatly organized, The clear plastic fronts make it easy to see everything so you're not having to dig around looking for a needed item. I was easily able to fit my makeup, toothpaste, floss, toothbrush, medicine, hair stuff and small bottles of shampoo and soap in it.
Once i had the bag all packed up, it easily rolled up while still keeping everything secure. It has two straps that are fully adjustable and it secures with sturdy snaps. It has a nice hook that you can easily hang anywhere to keep it nice and clean and easy to access. I love the cute black with white polka dot pattern since it goes with pretty much any other luggage set. The toiletry bag is made of a nice thick, tough polyester that definitely seems like it can stand up to many years of roughing it while camping. The plastic is nice and thick and securely sewed together. I don't see any danger of it tearing or ripping, even in the most rugged conditions.
Overall, I am very pleased with this high quality hanging toiletry bag and will definitely be taking it on all of our camping trips from now on! I love how secure everything is! If you want to be organized too, you can get one here: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B013G4SMWE #odessa

Every girl's dream is to have longer, fuller eyelashes to enhance her natural beauty. I've tried a few other eyelash serums in the past and some work, some don't. The prices on some are absolutely unreasonable! I was given the opportunity to review this Eyelash and Eyebrow Enhancing Serum by Asana Beauty, and I must say I was pretty impressed!
First of all, I must say that I love that the serum comes in a nice large 7ml sized bottle. It can definitely last a lot longer than the standard 3ml bottles I've gotten in the past. The brush applicator tip is nice and small with a pointed tip for ultimate accuracy. Applying the serum was very quick and easy, just one good swipe from the inside corner to the outer edge above the eyelashes provided full coverage without having to go back and touch up missed spots. My eyelids didn't feel sticky and gummy like some other serums I've tried.
The Asana serum claims to give you fuller, longer eyelashes and brows within 20 days. Well, I've only been using for 4 days now, and I believe I'm already seeing my lashes looking a little fuller! There does seem to be a slight thermal reaction when I apply it, but it doesn't really bother me at all. Since I'm seeing results so quickly, I can't wait to see what my lashes look like after a few more weeks! This is a serum that truly works and comes in a decent size!

Me and my husband absolutely love multitools! I was thrilled when I was given the opportunity to review this awesome little 5-in-1 tire gauge and emergency tool by Mclintech. The multitool has a digital tire gauge, seat belt cutter, safety hammer, flashlight and red safety light. This is an absolutely perfect tool to have in your car for any emergency!
The tire gauge was very easy to use since it's all digital with a nice, clear display. You press the on button and then you can choose between either PSI, BAR , KPA or KG/CM - whichever setting you may desire to read. We decided to test the PSI of out boat trailer tire that was looking a little flat. The gauge gave us a reading lightning quick ,barely even took 2 seconds! We tested the accuracy by comparing ti to our old fashioned tire gauge, and it was spot on perfect! The ease of using this is awesome!
The multitool fits into the hand very nicely and has a nice, comfortable grip to it. On one end is a seat belt cutter. I didn't exactly have a spare seat belt to test it on, but it seemed sharp and I believe that it'd do the job. On the other side of that end, it has an emergency hammer that easily pops up by pressing a lever right below it. It locks into place and is solid steel with a pointy tip. I fully believe that it will break any window in an emergency.
The multitool also has a built in super bright torch and a red emergency LED light. The torch light is super bright and can help you easily find whatever you're looking for in the darkest environments! The LED emergency light is red and super bright as well. It's absolutely perfect to signal passing vehicles or as an emergency beacon if you need help. The light and the display for the tire gauge both run off of a AAA battery that you can easily install without a screwdriver.
Overall, I was very impressed with this handy little gadget and will be keeping it in one of our vehicles in case of future emergencies. It's nice and compact and can easliy be stashed just about anywhere handy in a vehicle without taking up too much room. Who knows, it might save our lives one day! At least I definitely feel safer just knowing that it's within easy reach at all times.

We have three vehicles , a large utility trailer and a boat on it's own trailer along with a riding lawn mower, heavy duty dollies and other various things. So you can say that we have plenty of tires that we need to keep properly inflated. I was recently given the opportunity to review the EPAuto 2 pack straight lock-on tire air chucks, and I thought it'd be a very useful gadget for my husband to have in his collection.
The air chucks seemed pretty heavy duty and of good quality. They had 1/4-Inch Female NPT and a 3/4-Inch Hex. I guess that's pretty standard for a tire shop's compressors. My husband decided to use his small pancake compressor since it's really easy to carry around. He had to connect a 1/4 NPT to the female end in order to connect it to his air compressor hose. Basically, it's the same everything, the only thing he gained was the clip to keep it on the tire valve.
We connected it to the air hose, then simply clipped it on the valve. It successfully aired it up to the maximum. There was no shutoff, it just kept airing up until we unclipped it and removed it. It didn't appear to have any leaks in it. It's a pretty neat little gadget, and is perfect for airing up huge tires. However, for the average person, I don't find it too convenient since you have to stand there monitoring it the whole time it fills.

I make a lot of roasts, briskets and whole chickens, especially during the cold winter months. Usually I use a knife and fork to shred up my meat or even just two forks if it's tender enough. The other day though, I was introduced to an awesome new product by Wamder! I was given the awesome opportunity to review the Bear Claws by Wamder, and let me tell you, these things are something I can't live without now!
The bear claws are made of heat resistant nylon, and they feel like plastic. They comfortably fit in your hand with a good solid grip. The bear claws are intended to shred pretty much any meat and claims to shred a 9lb shoulder roast in under a minute! They are also great for picking up and moving your food as well!
I cooked a small 4 lb pork roast in my slow cooker and decided it was the perfect opportunity to try these awesome things out! As suggested, I let the roast cool or "set" for a few minutes and then used the bear claws to move it to a medium sized bowl. They picked up the meat no problem and by interlocking the claws a little, it didn't drop any of the meat.
Once the meat was in the bowl, my husband easily shredded the meat in a little over a minute. I think it would've took a lot less, but he was playing around and trying to find which angle he preferred to hold the bear claws at. You can grip them with your palms facing in or out, whichever feels more comfortable. The instructions say to hold the meat with one hand and pull it apart with the other. My husband just dug in with both hands and went to town! They were very easy to use and shredded the meat way finer than using just forks. These bear claws are absolutely wonderful, and it makes it kind of fun to dig into meat with them! I'll definitely be using these any opportunity I can! You can't help but feel a little like Wolverine.....

I've heard a lot about reusable squeeze pouches lately, but have never actually tried one. I have a six year old son and I'm expecting my second little boy here in a few months, so I'm trying to find some cost-effective ways to give them tasty snacks.
I received four reusable food pouches made of a thick plastic that is very durable. Me and my six year old son thought that the little design on the front was just adorable! It also came with a nice locking lid for each pouch.
The bottom of each CutieLunch pouch is a very strong ziplock that seems pretty kid proof to me. It was very easy to fill with some applesauce by holding the pouch with one hand and pouring the applesauce in with the other hand. You want to make sure and put a lid on it before filling it! I didn't even notice I was dripping out the bottom until my son informed me! I'll always remember to do it from now on though! We also tried these out with a thicker chocolate pudding and he was able to eat it just fine.
It's hard sometimes to get my son to eat applesauce, but he gladly ate out of these cute little pouches. We made a big deal about them being CUTE and he actually felt cuter eating out of them-LOL. To clean, I basically just took the lid off, unzipped the bottom and ran water through it. It was very easy and simple to do! I am very impressed with these durable little pouches and I'm already thinking of tons of yummy foods to put in them for my six year old and the upcoming baby!

I don't really use lemons or limes a ton, but I do use them sometimes for certain recipes. I've never used a lemon squeezer before, I've always just used my hands or a spoon to squeeze my lemons or limes. BTipsy recently gave me a unique opportunity to review one of their professional jumbo lemon squeezers recently, and I gladly accepted!
The lemon squeezer really is jumbo! It was a lot larger than I expected and I immediately started thinking of all the other various fruits I might be able to juice with this too. The lemon squeezer is made of stainless steel and it seems very sturdy, it'll last definitely my entire lifetime! It seems very heavy duty and is basically a bottom piece with a strainer type bottom and a solid top piece that you press down into the bottom.
Using the lemon squeezer was very easy and pretty much effortless. It wasn't hard to press the lemon at all, it was just so big, I had to use both hands. The package didn't have any instructions on it at all with how to use it, so I pretty much tried it blind since I've never used on before. My first half, I actually put the lemon in with the rind side down and got surprised when juice came out the handle at me. My second half, I flipped the lemon, and it worked great, got every last drop out of it!
Overall, I find this a very handy, not so little, kitchen gadget that I'll be using for all kinds of various juicing escapades! My only complaint was that it didn't come with a single word of instructions for the beginner. Hey, I'm just a country gal that likes to cook, not a professional chef!
