My husband currently stores all of his toiletry items either crowded on a shelf or in an old tacklebox that he stores under the bathroom sink. He's constantly having to look for different items and then leaves them all over the counter in his morning rush to get out the door. I've been wanting to get him a stylish bag for a while now, and I was thrilled when offered to review the Mirror On a Rope Toiletry Bag!
The Toiletry Bag is made of premium quality PVC leather with a nylon liner on the inside. There's one main zippered pocket for the larger items and a smaller side zippered pocket for the smaller items. It measures 9.5"L x 5"H x 4.25"W and can easily fit on a small shelf or into a backpack without taking up much room at all. It's very high quality, durable and most important of all- waterproof! The nice black leather case is very attractive and looks great! A durable handle on the side also makes it perfect for carrying or even hanging somewhere as well.
I was able to easily fit my husband's hair clippers, razor, shaving cream, deodorant and face wash in the larger pocket with room to spare. The smaller side pocket was absolutely perfect for his toothbrush and toothpaste to easily fit in. He loved the sleek design and I loved having my counters cleared off finally! This is a very nice, high quality bag that fits a lot of items in and looks great!

I'm an avid coffee drinker and can't go a morning without having my starter cup at least. I like to slow sip my coffee and enjoy it throughout the morning. One thing I've had a lot of trouble with is trying to brew coffee when we are camping! I've had some pretty disastrous attempts with paper filters and funnels that just never had a happy ending. My desire for coffee while camping is easily fixed with this Dolce Caffe Stainless Steel Coffee Dripper! Genius!
The coffee dripper is made of a durable, ultra fine steel mesh that sits on a stainless steel base tht is attached. The base easily fits over even the largest of mugs and stays cool to the touch, so you don't have to worry about burning yourself while brewing your coffee. It's super simple and fast to get a perfect cup of coffee in less than a minute! Simply set the filter on top of your favorite mug. Put in two to three tablespoons of coffee grounds. Pour hot water over the top and just let it drain through. It took less than a minute and filled the room with the delicious smell of fresh coffee. To clean up, I simply rinsed it out in the sink and let it dry. The filter didn't let a single ground leak through, yet allowed the coffee to flow fast through the bottom. The coffee was absolutely delicious and tasted better than my regular coffee machine makes! It's so quick, so easy and so delicious! This is absolutely perfect for our camping trips!

I have a six year old son, and he loves to take snacks on the go. I guess since he's a growing boy, but he thinks he needs a snack every hour! I usually just use sandwich bags for his snacks, but they always tend to open up and make a mess all over the place. Yeah, it's a lot of fun to open his backpack after school and find EVERYTHING coated in crushed goldfish crackers! I was thrilled to try out these resusable snack bag containers by Practico Kitchen. The SnackCubby containers are made of BPA-free and FDA-approved food grade silicone which is also freezer and dishwasher safe. They measure 6.9 in x 1.7 in and easily fit into a lunchbox or side pocket of a backpack. Each container holds 8.5oz, or the same as 1/4 of a standard sandwich bag, which makes it perfect for portion control. The snack bags are see-thru, so you can easily tell what's in them and how full they are. They have an attached cap and come with an accessory cap as well that is perfect for putting straws or popsicle sticks in. The SnackCubby containers are absolutely perfect for putting a variety of different snacks in! You can also make popsicles or even cylindrical ice cubes that are perfect for putting in water bottles. These are absolutely perfect for making flavored or fruit-infused ice in! Pretzels, goldfish, granola, cereal and a variety of other snacks fit in these perfectly. I packed my son some cheese nips in these and sent it off to school with him. They successfully made it throughout the day without busting open and making a mess! I was so happy! I love these little versatile containers, they're so eco-friendly and help save money on buying sandwich bags all the time! To clean up, just throw them in the dishwasher or rinse out just like any other dish.

I've been doing a lot of reviews lately and some of them need videos for. My husband was getting pretty tired of always being coerced into recording me doing mundane seeming things. A wonderful solution that helps me record myself is the ActionFly Cell Phone Holder! I can now shoot perfect videos with my phone all by myself!
The ActionFly cell phone holder is incredibly versatile. The gooseneck is made of aluminum magnesium alloy, which will never rust, and is fully flexible to any angle you may dream up. It easily clamps onto a table or other surface with a clip on holder that is lined with non-slip silicone. A universal cell phone holder at the other end can fit most cell phones up to 6.3" and is silicone lined on each claw to help protect your phone. The holder is on a ball joint swivel base that gives you a full 360 degrees rotation. To install the clip onto the ball joint, you simply slide the included ring over the ball joint, place the claw clip over the ball joint, then slide the ring up and screw onto the base of the claw. It holds it firmly without threatening to slip out and can rotate 360 degrees.
I absolutely love the cell phone holder and am using it almost every day now! I really can find any angle I can possibly dream of to suite my current needs. I can easily video tape myself while the holder supports my phone steadily and without shaking! I absolutely love how flexible it is and my husband loves how he doesn't have to hold my phone all the time now! This is one of the most useful phone accessories that I have!

Electric foot callus removers are all the rage right now! I've really been wanting to try one, just never actually gotten around to getting one yet. I have one of those old fashioned Ped-Eggs that I've been using for years. Bot, that thing takes forever to use and my arms get tired. I'm exhausted by the time I finish both feet! Then my husband will usually come plop his feet in my lap wanting me to do his too! It's so tedious that I only do the procedure once every other month or so.
The Lift Care callus remover is the first of it's kind to come with a USB charging cable! That means no batteries wearing down! The callus remover kit comes with the callus remover, an extra grinding head replacement (two in total) , a soft cleaning brush, USB cable and a small user manual. To charge, simply plug the USB charging cable into the bottom of the callus remover and plug the cable into any open USB port. A small red light comes on, letting you know that it's charging. The charging cable is pretty short, so you need to keep it very close to the power source. The box says it needs 8-10 hours charging time, but I only needed about 2 hours for my first charge.
A clear plastic head cover is on the grinding head already on the remover body. The callus remover is a nice, eye-pleasing white with lime green accents and sits in the hand very comfortably. The heads give you a wide angle to comfortably cover every bit of your foot. It gently and effectively buffs away dry, callused skin in seconds. It's very lightweight, easy to use, portable and waterproof. You can easily clean it by using the small cleaning brush or rinsing in water.
The callus remover was very easy to use, I simply switched it on and ran it over my heel. In just about 30 seconds, my heel was nice, smooth and soft. It's slightly loud, but not too bad. You need to make sure and not press down too hard on it, otherwise it might stall or slow down. Use a light, even pressure and it takes it right off! I love how eco-friendly it is by not using batteries, plus it saves money buying them too! This electric callus remover is way better than my old-school Ped-Egg!

My family loves camping! We also love to have small fires on the weekends just for the fun of it. My six year old son is fascinated with roasting marshmallows and other things over the fires lately. Usually we just find a good twig that's long enough and use that. However, the marshmallows tend to stick to them pretty bad and the tips of the sticks may catch on fire sometimes. These roasting sticks are the perfect for our campfire needs!
The Marshmallow Pro roasting sticks come in a neat compact zippered nylon bag which is perfect for throwing in a backpack or camping bag for easy transportation. The set of five sticks come in the vibrant colors of purple, blue, yellow, red and green. We love picking out who gets which color! Each stick is 10" long when folded up and extends all the way to 34". They're telescopic so you can easily adjust it to whatever length you may desire at the time. The sticks are made of non-toxic stainless steel and are extremely durable and can withstand any heat without scorching. The tips are pointed but not sharp and can easily skewer a hot dog as well as marshmallows or any other food you might think of to roast. Handy little rubber caps are included to cover the tips when not in use for safety reasons. The colored grips are very comfortable and actually have a little rotation device located at the base of the handle you can easily operate with just your thumb!
These are extremely fun and easy to use! My six year old had fun picking out which one e wanted to use and we roasted hot dogs over my propane grill since it was very windy and didn't want to start a ground fire. The best part about the sticks is how you can easily adjust the length! I was able to get close to the fire, and was able to keep my son at a safe distance away from it. We had a lot of fun and I can't wait to take these camping and try them out for real!These are a million times better than a random stick off the ground!

I'm a bit of an earring junkie. I have dozens of pairs because I just can't see, to get enough of them! I'm not big on piercings, but I did pierce my ears three times just because I love having that extra bling peeking out from under my hair. I love shiny, glittery, earrings with jewels in them.
These gorgeous ear cuff earrings from Everu make me just sigh with pleasure! They cover the whole bottom part of my ear and look completely stunning! The earrings come in a cute little pink gift box that is absolutely perfect for gifting! They're silver plated and nickel free with a 925 sterling silver post and real CZ diamond accents. The backs are silver with the plastic guard around the edges. They sit on the ear perfectly and really are just gorgeous! They don't look all cheap like other earrings, they actually look high quality! These earrings are stunning and go amazing with any outfit whether it's casual or formal!

I'm an avid coffee drinker, I can rarely go a morning without my morning cup of joe. Something I've never tried before is a cold brewer!
This cold brew coffee set comes with a 2 quart mason jar, a full length stainless steel filter, a lid and a silicone seal. The mason jar and the lid are made wit4h BPA free mat4erials and t4he mason jar is actual glass,yet a lot more durable than other more fragile glasses. The silicone seal enables you to shake the jar while brewing to get better results.
It is very simple to use, simply fill the jug with cold water. Add a few tablespoons of coffee to the filter, shake and let sit for about 12 hours or overnight. In the morning, you'll have some delicious cold brew coffee. To clean, simply rinse the filter out with water and let dry. These are also perfect to brew cold tea and juice infused water in as well.
I tried it out using cold brew iced tea. I simply put a few scoops in the filter, dropped it in the jar and shook it. I then let it steep for about 5 minutes and it was done.None of the grounds leaked out and the tea was extra delicious. It was so simple and easy to use, an will be absolutely perfect for camping!

My natural hair is poofy and curly like a lion's mane. I usually shower at night and then straighten it first thing in the morning. I NEVER leave the house without my hair fixed! I usually use a Chi flat iron since other straighteners never seem to keep my hair straight for long. One thing I worry about with that straightener is that it dries my hair out and damages it too much. I've tried a steam straightener and it didn't even begin to get my hair right, so I was pretty skeptical trying out the Sela Beauty Steam Straightener. Surprisingly, it worked better than my good ol Chi!
The Sela Beauty Ultrasonic Steam Straightener has a revolutionary ultrasonic cool steam function to give added moisture and shine to your hair. It has floating ceramic plates that are much wider than other flat irons, meaning you can do bigger sections at once. The cord swivels 360 degrees to reach any position without tangling. A small water tank is on the top of the straightener, you simply remove it by pushing an unlock lever, fill with tap water, shake and pop back in. You can choose to have the steam on or off, depending on your preference at the time. There's 5 heat settings- 305 ,340, 375, 410 and 445 which you can adjust with +/- buttons on either side of the power button. It has an immediate heat up and stays at a stable temperature the whole time.
The straightener heated up in just a few seconds after turning it on. The steam comes out of a tiny whole at the base of the plates, and it wasn't hot or painful whatsoever. As you can see, my hair was pretty bushy and wavy after just brushing it. I was able to straighten my hair faster than I would with my other flat iron since it handles bigger sections. The steam made a sizzling noise, but I've straightened my hair wet many times, so it wasn't too startling to me. It only took one good pass with the straightener to get my hair straight, yet I ran it through a second time just for good measure. It was very easy to hold and wasn't clunky like other steam straighteners can be.
My hair definitely feels moister and looks shinier than my usual results with a flat iron. It held the straightness very well for the rest of the day and felt a lot softer. My only lament is the water tank seemed too small and I had to refill it halfway through straightening. Other than that, this straightener works awesomely and my hair feels so much more moist and healthy!
