*I was not paid for this review! I received this product free of charge for my honest opinion!

 I'm currently six months pregnant and my back has been killing me lately! We are currently in the process of moving, and after a long day of packing and moving boxes around, I can barely stand up straight. I usually try to relax with a pillow beneath my back, but they always tend to get some kind of lump or not support me good enough. I was thrilled to try out the memory foam cushion from Ziraki!

 The Ziraki Memory Foam pillow helps provide instant relief and comfort from back pain by gently supporting the natural contour of the spine. The memory foam is so comfortable and allows you to just melt into it perfectly! It measures 12-3/4 inches wide and 12-1/4 inches tall and can easily fit into most chairs, carseats or anywhere else you may desire to sit with it. It comes in a convenient clear carry bag with handles so you can easily transport wherever you may need it. The cushion has a strap on the back to easily attach it to the back of your seat to help keep it in place.
  The pillow has two different cover to choose from. There is a fuzzy velvet-like plush gray cover that just feels so cozy! There's also a black mesh cover to provide better airflow and comfort if you want to keep from getting too hot. A removable gel pad is also included for your extreme comfort as well. You can easily throw the gel pad in the fridge or even freezer to cool off. Use the convenient elastic straps to pop it on the cushion and you can have instant cooling comfort to soothe your aching back. 
  I absolutely loved this cushion! It's perfect for me to use while sitting at my computer and I feel like I just melt into it. It helps support my back and just feels great! The gel cooling pads feel amazing after being outside in the heat for a while and help me cool of very quickly. As well as using this for my back, this is also an amazing head pillow as well!

Krazilla Home Lux Bluetooth Speaker

*I was not paid for this review! I received this product free of charge for my honest opinion!

 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. Krazilla makes a portable speaker that easily connects to our phones with Bluetooth and we can finally jam out!
Picture
Picture
 The Krazilla Lux speaker has a high-tech modern look with a perforated and concave grill design and a bright, vibrant eye-catching color. I got the green color, but they also have them available in blue, red and yellow as well. It has four different inputs- Bluetooth, USB, micro-USB or TF card, making it one of the most versatile speakers on the market. The bluetooth easily works with any bluetooth compatible device and effortlessly connects in just a few seconds. On the top is a Play button, connect button, and volume/track buttons. It easily charges with a USB cable so you don't have to worry about batteries. However, you can remove the battery and swap it out if you have another one and don't have a USB port to charge it with. 
  The speaker was very easy to connect to and has a range of up to 33 feet away. That makes it completely awesome to me since I can carry my phone with me instead of having to leave it right next to the speaker. It easily stays connected with me while I'm out in my backyard. The sound quality is really great and gets extremely loud! The bass isn't the best, but hey, it's a small portable speaker, not a sub in the back of my car! It was very easy to transport wherever I needed to and the vibrant color helped it stand out so I could easily spot it in my yard. It also has a spot on it that you can connect a lanyard to if you'd like to hang it somewhere. I love the design and color of this speaker and the sound quality sounds really good! I'll definitely be getting a lot of use out of this speaker in my yard!

Ohuhu Shiatsu Deep Kneading Massage Pillow

*I was not paid for this review! I received this product free of charge for my honest opinion!

 I'm currently six months pregnant, and I need a new mattress! I'm constantly waking up with an aching back and feel worse waking up than when I do going to bed. To top it all off, we are currently in the process of moving so my back is killing me after a day of packing and moving boxes! I was absolutely thrilled to try out the Ohuhu Shiatsu Deep Kneading Massage Pillow!
Picture
Picture

 The massage pillow features four rotating massage nodes help release stress, aches, tension and knots. It mimics a real massage with 3D counter-rotating balls that deeply penetrate your aching muscles. It also has gentle heat that is enough to soothe without being uncomfortably hot. The cover is easily removable for cleaning and is made of nylon and PU. It's easier to just spot clean though. It includes an AC adapter as well as a car charger so you can easily use it whether you are at home or on the go. An easy hand control has two different functions to choose from. It has a rocker switch with the center being the off position. One side, the "I" side activates the kneading rollers with heat. The other side with "II" activates the kneading rollers in the opposite direction without heat. An elastic strap on the back of the pillow makes it convenient to attach to a chair or carseat to help keep it in position.
  The massage pillow was a complete dream to use! The heat was gentle yet effective enough to help soothe my aching back muscles. The rollers felt absolutely wonderful and penetrated deep into my muscles, working out all the deep knots and tension. As well as massaging my back, it was also great to move up and get my neck too and felt just amazing! I felt completely rejuvenated and relaxed after using it for about 10 minutes! It massages better than my husband ( just don't tell him that though!). The hand control was easily within reach and made it very easy to switch between the modes to get a very thorough massage. I absolutely love this massage pillow and will be using it every day now to smooth out all my aches and knots!

*I was not paid for this review! I received this product free of charge for my honest opinion!

 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 was not paid for this review! I received this product free of charge for my honest opinion!

 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!
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
 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!
   If you'd like a cell phone holder that you can use with ease, you can find one here:

Lift Care USB Rechargeable Callus Remover

2/28/2016

*I was not paid for this review! I received this product free of charge for my honest opinion!

  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.  
Picture
Picture
Picture
 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!

Marshmallow Pro Roasting Sticks

*I was not paid for this review! I received this product free of charge for my honest opinion!

  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!
Picture
Picture
Picture
 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!

Mr. Biscuits Burning Love Hot Sauce

*I was not paid for this review! I received this product free of charge for my honest opinion!

  I'm super picky when it comes to hot sauce. I used to not even like it and wouldn't even think about putting some on a taco. However, my husband loves hot sauce and over the past few years has gotten me to start using it. Now, I'm currently six months pregnant, and for some reason I've just been craving hot sauce on everything! There's no way I can have a breakfast taco without halfway drowning it in some hot sauce. I don't like the chunky salsa types, only the actual hot sauce types. I'm not huge on a lot of heat, but some heat is ok.
  First off, I gotta say I absolutely love their label design! It reminds me of Flash Tattoo Art! And the name is absolutely appealing as well! Mr. Biscuits Burning Love hot sauce is almost a little too much heat for me, but my husband loves it! It comes in a nice 5 oz bottle which is pretty much the standard size. The key ingredients are fresh habañero, jalapeño, fresno and Thai chili, garlic, onion, organic citrus fruits and organic fireweed honey. It is all natural, gluten free, fresh, and has no added fillers. It has high heat with low vinegar. Like I said, it was a little too hot for me, barely, but the flavors were great! The flavors are well blended, you immediately taste the peppers with a follow up of the citrus and honey. Even though it has honey, it definitely wasn't sweet though! It was very low in vinegar, which I really like since I don't like twangy stuff too much. My mouth was pleasantly burning for about 30 minutes after eating a taco with this! It wasn't overpoweringly hot, just a little too much for me. My husband absolutely loved it though and slathered on some seconds! 
  If you'd like to try a new, well-balanced hot sauce, you can get some here:

RY Gardener Expandable Hose

2/25/2016

*I was not paid for this review! I received this product free of charge for my honest opinion!

  Anybody who has ever used a garden hose knows hoe much of a pain it is to get it all rolled back up and put away neatly. Most of the time, it feels like I'm wrestling with a giant snake trying to get the hose back in the storage box. Sure, there's things that you can turn a crank and it'll roll it up for you, but still that takes a while. A simple, no-fail solution is to get an expandable garden hose!
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
 The Ry gardener expandable hose is a nice eye-catching beautiful blue color that you can easily spot in the yard. This durable hose is the only one on the market that has 4 layers for extra strength! Each layer is high pressure-resistance-under 170PSI/12.7Bar, which is a lot of pressure! It's very lightweight and easy to transport wherever you may need it. I can carry the whole hose with one hand easily without it seeming to weigh anything at all. It will never kink, tangle or twist up! When in use, it lengthens from 17 feet all the way to 50 feet long fully expanded. That is nice and long and can reach anywhere in a standard yard. With aluminum clamps and brass shut-off valve connectors, it has higher resistance to external hazards and elements.
  The hose also comes with a high quality spray nozzle with 8 adjustable patterns-  cone, flat, soaker, stream, full, angle, shower, and mist. You can easily change between each setting by turning a ring on the tip of the sprayer with just one hand. The shut-off valve is perfect if you want to completely turn it off altogether, however if you just don't press the spray handle, it doesn't leak at all. A handy hose hanger and some replaceable washers are also included as some handy bonuses.
  Using the hose was very easy, and somehow oddly satisfying. I simple screwed one end into my spigot, and screwed the nozzle onto the other end of the hose. I turned my water on and watched the hose expand to a nice full volume. No water leaked whatsoever anywhere, it only came out when I used the sprayer. After I was done, I turned my water off, and the hose stayed full. I just sprayed the last of the water out of the sprayer until the hose was completely empty and shriveled up again.  I was able to take the sprayer off, shake the hose to get the last of the water out, and actually fit it back in the box for easy storage! I am very impressed with the ease of use of this awesome hose and the easy nozzle! It is so easy to handle and never threatened to kink or tangle up. This hose is a lot longer than other hoses as well, allowing me to reach parts of my yard I wasn't able to previously! This is the best expandable garden hose I've ever used!
  If you'd like the most high quality, longest expandable garden hose for yourself, you can get one here:

MLVOC Handheld Electric Foam Maker

*I was not paid for this review! I received this product free of charge for my honest opinion!

  I'm an avid coffee drinker! Every morning I wake up at 5 am and the first thing I do is go get our coffee started. I usually have it with a few sweet n lows, some powdered french vanilla creamer and a splash of milk to make it yummy. I live out in the country, so it's not an option to go get a luxurious cafe cup of coffee, so I haven't had a frothed coffee in years! Well, this morning I just had what seemed like the best cup of coffee ever after trying out the MLVOC Handheld Electric Foam Maker!
Picture

 The Handheld Electric Foam Maker can instantly transform your regular old coffee into a luxurious, rich treat in seconds. It's wireless, and just takes two AA batteries that you install through the bottom. It's very small and compact and very easy to hold in your hand. A thumb operated power switch is located on the side, very easy to use. The mixer itself is very quiet, my phone vibrates louder than it, so you don't have to worry about disturbing anybody else while you use it early in the morning.
   I tried frothing my coffee first, and it whipped the liquid around surprisingly smooth and fast. My coffee frothed up pretty good, but I don't think I had enough milk to get a good froth. I tried it on a small cup of milk next. I put only about 1/4 cup of milk in the glass. After just about 30 seconds of frothing, the milk was all the way up to the top of the glass! It created the foam very fast! It was a very smooth, rich froth, you couldn't get better out of a steamer in a coffee shop! I poured it on top of my coffee and- Oooh la la!!! It was absolutely amazing! So rich, creamy and delicious!! This handheld mixer is getting a permanent place next to my coffee machine because I'm never having another cup without frothing first! I absolutely love this nifty little machine!!
