If you're like me and my husband, then you have a lot of keys! With three vehicles, riding lawn mower, two storage sheds, and countless tool boxes with locks, the keys tend to really accumulate. An then of course, there's those mystery keys floating around. We're not quite sure what they go to, but they ARE for something, so we're going to hang onto them for years in case we ever figure out what they go to. Keychains can get quite bulky, especially if you need to carry them in your pocket. A simple way to condense them all is to use a compact key holder.
The W-Plus compact key holder can hold anywhere from 2-15 keys, compacting them all into a small form about the size of a pocket knife. You can easily slip the key holder into a pocket without a bunch of bulging and poking. The key holder kit comes with all the needed pieces, a velvet like storage pouch and detailed instructions. The instructions make it look a lot more intimidating than it really is. I was able to put together a small bundle of 6 keys in less than 5 minutes.
I decided to combine keys from two different keychains that are for the sheds and come toolboxes to try to make it easier for my husband. I simply put a small black washer on two screws, inserted them into one of the bottom plates, put a red washer on, layered the keys on there, put another red washer, then top plate and screwed a smaller screw into the top. It was actually really simple and easy to do. There's extra spacers and some extenders included if you want to load it up with even more keys.
The keys tended to kind of wiggle loose and splay out the sides. However, when I tightened down the screw until they were absolutely snug, the keys stayed in there better. It seems the more keys you put in it, the better it holds. Overall, this compact key holder is a great way to cut back on bulky keychains!

I love cooking and baking. A vital necessity is having quality utensils and equipment. Having a good mixing bowl set is almost priceless, especially when you're using a hand mixer or making some really thick dough. Cheap flimsy plastic bowls just will not cut it in my kitchen! Kukpo makes the most high quality plastic mixing bowl set I've ever used! I also have a measuring cups and spoon set from Kukpo also, and they are just incredible! Kukpo is definitely becoming one of my favorite kitchen brands!
The three piece mixing bowl set is made of the highest quality BPA free FDA approved plastic and has a stylish shiny finish. They are literally meant to last decades! They come in three different sizes - a large 5 quart, medium 3 quart, and small 1.5 quart to suit you every need. They each come with a perfectly fitting lid that seals airtight and is waterproof. That is a huge thing for me as I sometimes have to refrigerate doughs sometimes. They would also be great to use to marinate meat in since they'll help keep everything sanitary! I'm used to just slapping some saran wrap on top of bowls when I put them in the fridge to set, so this is a really huge bonus for me! Each of the bowls also has a no skid rubberized bottom that can grip even under the most rigorous of mixing. I tried my hand mixer and a hand whisk in these and they didn't move at all. That means you don't have to hold on to them and can use your hand for other more useful stuff. No more spinning bowls while you have to gradually add an ingredient while beating at the same time! Cleanup is a breeze as they are completely dishwasher safe and nothing really sticks to slick plastic sides much anyways. If that's not enough, these bowls are also freezer safe too!
There's so many possibilities of different things you can do with these awesome bowls! You can mix, store food, marinate, freeze, keep salads fresh, or even just use them as serving bowls since they're so nice looking! These are the most versatile bowls I've ever used and I'm absolutely in love with them!The possibilities are endless!

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

Warning! This shirt helps save cats!!! Now how can it get any better than that? This adorable t-shirt actually has a purpose besides looking cute on you! Arm the Animals is an organization that strives to make activism fashionable by creating killer apparel to help cash strapped animal care organizations. 4,000,000 - 5,000,000 animals are euthanized every year because people simply don't do the basics such as spaying, neutering, feeding, and loving their furry friends. Shelters are constantly running low on funds to help care for the overflow of desperate animals. Arm the Animals graciously donates a portion of every sale to a number of highly reputable shelters with a NO KILL policy. So go ahead and fell good about yourself when you order one of these shirts because you're also helping some animals out too!
Even my six year old son thought this t-shirt was too cool, and I had to chase him around the house to get it back from him! The shirt itself is very soft and comfortable and fits very well. I love the soft gray color as it's neutral and can be paired with a number of pants I own. This is a men's shirt, but women can definitely wear it too- I do! I love the cute kitten throwing a grenade- it's funny and adorable! I'm going to really enjoy wearing this shirt out in public and explaining the cause behind it to anybody who asks. Wear your support with pride people and let's help some animals out!

We like to try to eat thrifty in my household, and I'm always storing leftovers from dinner for our lunches the next day. My six year old is also very picky and won't eat his school lunches, so I have to pack him a lunch a few times a week also. A common problem we've had is that the standard tupperware is just one compartment, and food tends to run together or leak occasionally. A simple solution that is becoming more popular nowadays is to use Bento lunchboxes that also help with portion control.
Orgalif make a wonderfully durable lunch box set. It comes in a handy 5 pack to easily cover each day of the work week if you'd like to plan ahead. The lids are each a different color- blue, green , orange, red and purple . Each lunch box is divided into three parts- a large section perfect for a sandwich or piece of chicken, a medium compartment perfect for a small salad or other good sized side, and a smaller compartment that's perfect for a good side vegetable or even dip. Each section is perfectly sized to help with portion control so you don't end up packing too much, yet they're still large enough o have a nice full lunch. The plastic is amazingly strong and can definitely stand up to being dropped or battered around a little bit. The lids seal really good and are completely leak proof, making them ideal for putting in a backpack without worrying about them. They are microwavable, dishwasher-safe and perfect for freezing! I really love these containers and have been packing my husband's lunches in these for a few days now. He tends to just throw a container into his front seat and these have stood up to that without any leakage! I love how they're color coded too so I can assign one to each day of the week and know which lunch to grab each morning.

Exercise balls are a wonderful accessory to any workout plan. As I'm 6 months pregnant, I'm looking for more versatile ways to get my exercises done. I'm also scheduled to have a c-section again so I need an easy way to exercise with minimal strain. The Champion's Vitality is a perfect ready to go out of the box solution to my needs!
The Champion's vitality exercise ball came with everything in the package that you need for a quick setup. It included the ball, a hand pump, a tape measure and two plugs. Inflating the ball was a little bit of a workout in itself, it took me about 15 minutes using the hand pump. The tape measure was invaluable in helping get it to the right size of 65cm. Of course, my six year old was trying to "help" me the whole time. The instructions suggested inflating a little larger the first time to help improve elasticity. I absolutely loved the vibrant blue color of the ball! The texture was great, with nifty anti-slip rings across the body of it. The ball held up very well to me doing a few exercises on it and definitely stood up well to my six year old bouncing around the house on it. After some rigorous "testing" by my son, it didn't deflate or lose any shape whatsoever. I also tried deflating the ball and it only took about 5 minutes to completely air out. I was able to squeeze it back in the box with the pump and tape measure, so it's also easy to take with you if you need to travel or take it to the gym! I absolutely love this ball and have begun doing daily exercises on it! It makes movements so much easier for me!

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. RF Shield has come up with a perfect way of fighting those annoyingly advanced thieves! They produce a whole RFID blocking wallet.
RF Shield's RFID blocking wallet came nicely gift wrapped, and perfect for gifting to any man in your life. The wallet itself is made of genuine leather with a cowhide layer on top that is very sleek and soft to the touch. The wallet is very nicely made, with fine stitching along the edges. 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 see thru mesh ID pocket and three credit card slots that perfectly accommodate your cards. It also has two nice big cash compartments as well, perfect for keeping cash and receipts. 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 received this product free of charge for my honest opinion! We like to grill a lot in my house. If the weather is acceptable, we grill about every other weekend! As the proud owner of five BBQ pits, it's essential to have a good grill brush. Wamder gave me the most awesome grill brush I've ever had to review! The Wamder grill bush is very durable and comes with a handy drawstring pouch for easy storage. The drawstring has a nice loop on it that's perfect for hanging on a hook. The grill brush has a perfect length handle of 18" with a nice rubberized grip that is very comfortable to hold without any slippage. The length of the handle is absolutely perfect for keeping just far enough away from he flames and heat while still staying close enough to perfectly reach every spot. The brush is made of three separate rows of stainless steel bristles that wrap around the grates, cleaning the top, sides and bottom all in one swipe. The bristles are very sturdy and strong and can take on the toughest of "crunchies" left behind on the grill without scratching or damaging the grates whatsoever. The 6x reinforced handle is very strong and doesn't bend or flex with even the most firm of pressure. I tried out the Wamder Grill Brush on my gas grill that hadn't been cleaned in a while. It powered through the crunchies and buildup very easily and left my grate looking almost brand new without any damage. It was very quick and effortless! I am very happy with the results of this grill brush, it's the best brush I've ever tried out!

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!
Ohuhu makes and expandable garden hose that is high quality and very durable! Amazingly, this 25 foot hose can fit into a tiny 7.5" x 4.3" box! This would make a spectacular gift for pretty much anybody. Inside the compact package is the hose, a versatile nozzle, and a spare washer. The hose is only 8.2 feet long when its unexpanded, which is a very manageable length. It is very light and very easy to carry around without being cumbersome. The nozzle has a nice grip and fits in the hand comfortably. It has eight settings - full, angle, shower, mist, center, flat, cone, and soaker - which enables you to choose the best flow for your current activity. The nozzle is very easy to use, I was able to switch the setting with just one hand by turning the ring in front of the markings.
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!

Working out can be a pain in the....uh....muscle. So can just going to your everyday job if it's physically challenging. We are forever looking for ways to massage ourselves to try to loosen all those troublesome knots and aches. A popular way of doing that nowadays is by using foam rollers.
The Bintiva foam roller was a little larger than I expected. It measures 13 x 5 inches and has a dense foam exterior. The inside is made of some kind of hard plastic material that is very firm and durable. The roller is specially designed to hold it's shape and not lose functionality or elasticity over time. The bumps on the outside are seamless and made to roll through tight muscles and sore spots to help reduce soreness.
My husband works 10 hour shifts doing granite fabrication all day. That means he's up on his feet carrying around granite or standing in place for hours while he cuts and polishes. I've polished myself here at the house, and it's not an easy job! It takes a few hours in several different stages moving a vibrating polisher back and forth. My arms, shoulders, back and feet were absolutely killing me after only a couple hours. He does this 4 days a week! I decided to put this foam roller to the ultimate test. After one of his long days, I asked him to lay on the floor and tried out this roller. I was able to get his back, legs and arms thoroughly with it. He said it felt wonderful and almost fell asleep, it was so relaxing. I then tried it on myself, and even being 6 months pregnant, I was able to thoroughly massage my back and my legs without too much effort. It really did feel great and went through quite a few knots, loosening them up. The foam roller held it's shape and didn't even flex under some heavy pressure. We absolutely love the Bintiva foam roller!
