A major challenge with almost anybody is trying to lose weight in a country ruled by fast food and obesity problems. It's so easy to overpack a lunch by just filling up whatever container is handy. I constantly do this with my husband's lunches. He'll text me from work telling me that I packed too much food, even though it's in a standard sized tupperware container and doesn't look like too much.
The containers were a bit smaller than I expected. They came in a small box that would be perfect for gifting since they'd never guess what it is! All of the containers easily stack inside the two larger ones for easy storage and transportation. They also came with a handy little guide that has a shopping guide and tips on maintaining your calorie intake. Each container is color coded and perfectly measured to help you easily pack a lunch without having to take time to measure or weigh out proportions.
The larger green one is for exactly 1 cup of vegetables. The large blue one is for 1 cup of fruits. The medium red one is for 3/4 cup of proteins. The medium yellow one is for 1/2 cup carbs. The medium blue one is for 1/3 cup fats. The two tiny orange ones hold 2 Tbsp of seeds and dressings. All of the containers are microwave and dishwasher safe, just be sure to remove the lids before microwaving! They suggest to not put them in the freezer as they may crack. Overall, these little containers can greatly simplify your life, especially if you have busy mornings and don't want to spend a lot of time measuring out your lunch! These are going to be great to help me and my husband lose weight, and my six year old son would love to have his lunches out of these cute containers!

Selfie sticks are all the rage right now! Everywhere you look on social media, people are using them everyday. There's even silly cases of people posing with fake selfie sticks, using broom handles and pipes and other random objects. I'm not huge on taking photos of myself, but I was thrilled when I was offered to review this bluetooth selfie stick by Reach. I'm starting to do a lot of reviews lately, and this is definitely going to make my photo shoots a lot easier from now on!
The selfie stick is very small and compact and can easily fit in a purse, fanny pack or even your pocket if you wear cargo pants or have deep pockets without taking up too much room. The stick came with a USB charging cable and a very simple, easy to follow instruction manual.
To charge, you simply plug the USB cord into the base of your selfie stick and then plug the USB end into your computer or any other USB charging station. While charging, a red light comes on. I was also able to plug it into my phone charger and it fit perfect as well, which is awesome for when you're not near a computer but still have your phone charger! The selfie stick charged very quickly, it seemed fully charged in less than 15 minutes. It claims to hold a charge or up to three days!
The grip is rubberized and spring loaded and stretched to accommodate pretty much any phone size. It's actually a little strong and takes a little bit of practice to get your phone in there. Once your phones in though, it's very secure and in no danger of falling out while you're moving around. The grip also swivels to any direction you may need it and locks in that position with a screw type locking mechanism. You can pretty much get any angle you desire with this selfie stick!
Connecting my phone to it was a breeze! I simply pressed the button to turn the stick on. It blinked while it was searching for my phone. On my phone, I did a device search in my bluetooth menu, and it found it within just a few seconds and had n problems connecting. I put my phone in the clamp and simply pressed the camera button on the stick to start taking pictures! It was so easy!! The stick itself is telescopic and can stretch to any length up to 42 inches and anywhere in between. The grip is slightly rubberized and easily stays in your grasp without getting sweaty and slipping. This stick is very sturdy and easy to take steady pictures without shaking or blurring.
I am very impressed with how versatile this stick is, you can get pretty much any angle or distance you may desire while still staying nice and compact. It's so easy to use that I got how to use it within seconds even though I've never even seen a selfie stick in person before! If you'd like to keep up with the times and want the easiest selfie stick ever, you can get one here: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00Z8HN14C #CraigromCommerceSelfieStick

There's almost nothing as frustrating as having to run over and pick up a dropped pacifier, walk away, and have to come right back again because the little one lost their grip on it again. Not to mention the germs or dirt the dropped pacifier may collect when it hits the ground! Pacifier clips are a great way to keep pacifiers sanitary and easily within reach while saving you form having to pick one up every 5 seconds. I was given the opportunity to review these adorable pacifier clips by Sanda Lea, and I must say I'm impressed!
The pacifier clips came in tow cute girly colors- grey with flowers and purple with polka dots an hearts. They are about 8 inches long, so they can easily stay within reach without being in the way. The ribbon is made of a versatile material and has excellent stitching that I don't see even the most fidgety baby pulling apart. They are machine washable, so you can just throw them in the washing machine with everything else without having to give them any special care. The clip end is made of metal and has three teeth with a metal cover to protect them. It grasps very firmly, but doesn't mark the clothing or tear it at all like some others. The other end that attaches to the pacifier is a durable elastic band that stretched to fit over basically any pacifier size or shape. The pacifier stays securely in the band without any danger of slipping out. Overall, I'm very impressed with the quality of the pacifier clips! These would make an adorable baby shower gift! I'm 5 months pregnant, so i'm saving these for my little one, and I'm looking forward to using them!

I don't wear too much makeup, I usually just do a light powder base with and dress up my eyes with eyeshadow, eyeliner and mascara. I like to go for the enhanced natural look mostly so I don't end up looking clownish. To remove my makeup, I usually just wipe it off with a washcloth in the shower. It usually takes quite a few wipes to completely remove everything and ends up making my eyes a little sore.
The microfiber cloth is extremely soft!It comes with a nice thick plastic pouch that has a zipper seal for easy storage and travel too! The instructions say to wet it with warm water and first wipe with the side without the tag. Then, you wipe with the tagged side to finish up. I was wearing eyeliner and mascara when I decided to try this out. With just he first swipe, it took most of the makeup off. The second swipe took it the rest of the remnants away. It was very soft and mild and didn't irritate my skin at all. I didn't really have to try the tagged side out, but I did a once over on my face just for good measure. I fully saturated the cloth before the makeup removal, and it dried very quickly, it seemed pretty much dry by the time I finished. I've never removed my makeup this fast and easily before!

My hair is naturally curly and like a lion's mane when left in it's natural state. I can't stand it and it gets hot and tangles very easily. Thus, I always straighten my hair after showering. I've been doing this for years and I can't even count the times I've accidentally burned my hand or fingers. My best straightener is a Chi that reaches up to 400 degrees and my hair is always too hot to handle for a minute after running it through. I found this nifty little heat resistant glove by ISA Professionals, and I just couldn't wait to try it out!
The heat resistant glove comes in a nice slim box that is perfect to easily wrap if you'd like to gift it to somebody. The glove itself is made of a nice lightweight weaved material that easily stretches to fit any hand size, male or female. The material is nice and breathable so your hand doesn't get all sweaty like some others. The fit is nice and snug and it stays in place, doesn't try to fall off or slip around on you. Overall, it's actually pretty comfortable to wear!
I decided to test how heat resistant it was by grabbing my Chi flat iron after letting it heat for a few minutes. My straightener was about as hot as I could get it, which should be around 400 degrees. I was able to easily grab it and hold on. It took about 10 seconds before it started to get warm, and about 20 seconds before it got a little uncomfortable. In real life, nobody in their right mind should be grabbing a flat iron for 20 seconds, so I would say that it's definitely heat resistant! The glove can definitely shield you from any grazes whatsoever that may happen to even the clumsiest person.
While I straighten my hair, I usually like to grab my hair to make sure it stays straight as it cools instead of curling on my shoulders. I usually have to gingerly grasp it within a few seconds and move my hand quickly before my hair burns it. With this glove, I didn't even feel any heat when I grabbed my hair. It was little hard to feel my hair through the glove, but to not get burned was totally worth it. I am very impressed with this heat resistant glove, and I'll be using it every time I straighten my hair from now on!

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

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.

I live in central Texas, and right now we are out of our drought season and everything is nice and green. I love watering the yard on the weekends, but for the longest time I've been doing it with a average garden hose with my finger over the end. After a while, this can get pretty tiring, not to mention time-consuming! When I had the opportunity to review this awesome garden hose nozzle, I nearly tripped over myself to go order it.
The high quality nozzle has a nice plastic grip that is very comfortable and fits in the hand perfectly. I can definitely spend long periods of time holding it! It came with a small pack of replacement washers in case a leak ever develops. I think that is very convenient since it's very annoying to use a sprayer that sprays you more than whatever you're watering. The nozzle also came with two quick connects to easily attach to any hose. They were very easy to use, you just popped one on the base of the nozzle and then simply screwed it on to the en of the hose. It was very simple, and sealed very nicely with no leakage whatsoever.
The nozzle was very easy to use, even my six year old son could handle it! You can easily adjust it for a variety of settings between a nice fine mist spray to a strong jet stream. To adjust, you turn a piece right below the yip of the nozzle. It is very easy to find the perfect setting you may desire. My son had a blast playing with the different settings, and I had fun playing with it too once i got it away from him!
I must say, this is the nicest, highest quality garden hose nozzle that I have ever used! The comfort and ease of use is incredible! My grass is definitely going to be a lot greener this season because I'm really looking forward to using this every weekend! I can't wait to wash the cars with it too!
