 My family loves to go camping! We like to get out there quite a few times a year and rough it in the wild with a tent and minimalist supplies. As much as we like to rough it though, one item we will indulge in is a good sleeping bag! Egoz makes a really nice mummy sleeping bag that is perfect for our next trip!

 The Egoz mummy sleeping bag has a 100% polyester outside and a 100% cotton inside that is built to last. This three season sleeping bag is designed to keep you warm down to 40 degrees Fahrenheit. I loved how plush and comfortable this sleeping bag was! A sturdy zipper on the side goes all the way down to the feet and a velcro closure at the top helps it stay in place when closed. The top of the sleeping bag has a hood like top that has a drawstring that you can adjust to snugly fit around your head. The whole sleeping bag snugly fits around you without letting any cold air in or hot air out.
  The whole sleeping bag easily rolls up and fits into a small carrying sack. The sack has a drawstring closure that also doubles as a double backpack type strap. I found the sleeping bag to be very comfortable, yet I do want to warn that it is made only for smaller framed people. My husband was unable to zip it up all the way. Since I'm 6 months pregnant, I was unable to get it zipped up past my belly either. My husband's brother is a bit slimmer and he was able to comfortably fit in it, yet he was a little tall for it. We are not big people! If you're smaller, this is perfect for you. If you're a little taller or slightly heavy, this is definitely not for you. The sleeping bag would be perfect for teens and kids though!

  It is a firm belief of mine that you can't ever have too many bags! Functionality goes a long way over prettiness in my book! However, the Gonex Canvas Drawstring Bag is functional as well as nice looking!

 

 The Gonex Bag is made of high intensity, extremely durable 100% cotton and is rugged enough to withstand trooping through the wilderness. It measures 12x9 inches and can hold up to 20 lbs, making it a perfect hiking or travel bag. A very thick durable rope serves as a drawstring as well as the backpack strap for the bag. It's actually surprisingly comfortable to wear and sits nicely over one shoulder. I got mine in the Dark Green color since I'm intending to give it to my husband. He collects army bags and survival gear and this color actually matches the other army bags pretty well. Overall, this bag is very well put together with nice tight stitching and excellent craftsmanship. I love the neat stitched logo near the bottom of the bag and am very impressed with the high quality of the bag itself!

 I'm currently six months pregnant, and a common ailment I'm starting to suffer from is swollen tired feet. Also, my husband puts in 10 hour days doing granite fabrication and his feet are killing him when he gets home as well. Usually we'll just hand massage each other's feet on the couch after dinner, but sometimes we don't always have time for an extensive massage. I was thrilled to try out the Premium Wooden Dual Foot Massager by Armour 24!

 The dual massager is made of high quality lotus wood with 10 rollers. The rollers have steel rods in the middle of them so you don't have to worry about squeaking. It measures  11.5 x 7.8 x 2 inches  and weighs 1.8 pounds and even comes with a very handy drawstring travel bag with rope handles. This would be absolutely perfect for somebody suffering from arthritis or other ailment since it's so easy to transport! While light, this massager is actually pretty tough. It can handle up to 350 lbs of pressure, so you can go ahead and be a little rough with it to get a deep massage without worrying about it falling apart. Six non-slip dots on the bottom help provide a great grip on smoother floors.
  The massager has 8 diamond textured bars and two with larger nodes on them to get into those toes. The wood has a polished gloss like finish on it and can easily be rinsed off if you happen to get foot gunk on it or if it gets smelly. The massager feels absolutely wonderful!! After only about a minute, my feet already felt so much better! I can control the pressure to get either a light massage or press down more to get a deeper massage. My husband and my six year old son absolutely loved it too! We actually had to convince my six year old to give it up and take turns because he was having fun on it. I especially like the little node bars. They can get in between my toes and I can rub my heels on them as well for a more penetrating massage. This massager has become a nightly routine for the whole family!

 I'm a bit of a water bottle nut and I'm always on the lookout for new quality water bottles that are also eco-friendly. I've had some really great experiences with Purifyou products before and was ecstatic to try out their lovely water bottle!

 The Purifyou water bottle is made of entirely BPA free, Phthalate free, PVC free, lead free, cadmium free and worry free high borosilicate glass, which is more heat resistant than any other commonly used glass. The glass is the most durable in on the market and is covered with a  food-grade high-impact-resistant silicone sleeve to protect it from drops. The sleeve also works as an insulator to help regulate the temperatures of your drinks as well. I got mine in the Pastel Green color and it's very bright, vibrant and easy to keep track of. The water bottle is 7.5" tall and easily fits into cupholders, bike cupholders and even a side pocket of a backpack or bag so you can easily take it wherever you'd like!
 The mouth is medium sized and can still fit an ice cube in it while still being small enough that you don't make a mess while drinking it in a rush. The lid screws on and is also leak-proof  so you don't need to worry about it dripping all over the place while traveling. The lid also has a nice ring on it that you can easily loop a finger through, hang on a hook or even attach a lanyard to for easier portability. The silicone sleeve helps the water bottle stay firmly in your hand without danger of it slipping out. I absolutely love my eco-friendly water bottle! It looks so stylish and I love telling people about all the neat features of it!

 I'm a bit of an obsessive nut when it comes to water bottles. I'm constantly on the hunt for a good one that won't leak, sweat and has great durability. I think I may have found the answer to all my problems with this nifty double wall insulated water bottle by Speed Hound!

 The Speed Hound water bottle is made of BPA free 18/8 stainless steel that is extremely durable. The powder coated outside looks very flashy and adds extra grip for sweaty hands. Being double walled, it insulates cold beverages for up to 24 hours and hot drinks for up to 12 hours. This water bottle easily fits into 99% of cupholders which is a huge selling point for me! I hate not being able to put a water bottle into my car cupholder! The wide mouth makes it easy to add ice cubes and is large enough to easily pour in beverages such as coffee or juice without making a mess. The lid screws on very tightly and is absolutely leak-free and sweat proof! The lid also has a very handy carrying loop for easy portability as well as making it easy to loop a lanyard on as well. 
  I absolutely love the look of this water bottle! The sleek design is very attractive and you can just feel the high quality of it while using it. I filled it up with ice water and threw in my bag. It never leaked a single drop and didn't sweat at all! My ice water stayed nice and cold during the whole day and it was easy to drink out of the wide mouth. The carrying loop made it super easy to transport around. I absolutely love this water bottle and have made it my new favorite!

​   I live in central Texas and mosquitoes are a constant problem in the wetter months. Usually, they're just pesky and I try to stay inside at the peak times. I'm six months pregnant right now though and with the Zika virus going around right now, I'm especially wary of being outside with mosquitoes! I'm not going to stay cooped up every day though! I like to spend my weekends outside with my husband and son doing stuff. Deet spray is alright, I just don't like the smell and somehow always end up getting some on my lips which numbs them. These Mosquitavert Mosquito Repellent Bracelets help give me a little extra protection this mosquito season!

 The Mosquitavert bracelets are Deet-free and made with all natural ingredients. The package comes with five bracelets, perfect for a small group of people! The bracelets are a light green color and feel somewhat soft to the touch, almost velvety. Six holes in the back help you insure the perfect fit for any size of wrists. They do have a slight smell to them, but it's not too strong and definitely better smelling than Deet. As well as being worn on the wrist, you can also wear these on the ankle, belt loop or on any other object kept close to your body. They last for several days and you will notice they start to dry up a little and the smell goes away when they start losing their effectiveness.
   I've been noticing a lot of mosquitoes lately when we're outside.  Me and my six year old son wore these for most of the afternoon, and I didn't notice a single mosquito around us the whole time! The smell was not unpleasant, I just made sure to keep the bracelet away from my face. The bracelet was very comfortable to wear and I even forgot I was wearing it after a little while. I definitely think these bracelets work and they definitely put my mind at ease with West Nile and Zika virus going around right now!

 Me and my six year old son love to do art together. It's very hard for me to keep pens in my computer desk since my son is constantly running off with them! I swear, I'll buy a 10 pack and then a few days later I can't find a pen to save my life! I was thrilled to get the 60 colored gel pens set from Ohuhu! Maybe I can keep a few for myself! I've had some really great experiences with Ohuhu products before and they are becoming a number one trusted brand in my household. I must say, they did it yet again! These pens are top notch quality!

 The Ohuhu colored gel pens come in a nice plastic box with five different trays of a plethora of colors. These would make a truly awesome gift to somebody and they'd never guess what was in the package! Each tray of pens has a special place fr each pen and they're held snugly in place by clipping the lid onto a strip on the back. This set has every color you can possible desire all in one box. There's pastels, neons, darks, sparkles and even multi-color pens! Each pen writes so smoothly they just glide across the paper. The colors are incredibly vibrant and really stand out. These pens are just a true pleasure to use and the variety of colors is just amazing! I can't wait to see all the artwork me and my son can come up with! This set can easily be thrown in a backpack to be taken wherever you may need them and make a perfect travel set for the car!

  Me and my husband absolutely love multitools! They're one of those need-to-have everyday items that we frequently use. I love trying out different multitools with new functions and testing them to see how they hold up in survival situations. I have to say, the Comenzar multitool is one of the coolest ones I've tried out so far!

 The Comanzar multitool is made of high quality stainless steel that is durable as well as lightweight. A very handy nylon carrying case is included with a snap button closure and a belt loop on the back for easy carrying. This multitool is definitely lightweight enough to carry around everyday without dragging down your pants like other multitools I've used. The handles are made of a rubberized plastic material that provides a solid grip even when your hands are sweaty. 
  The coolest function of this multiool is the super-bright LED flashlight! The flashlight is located on the side of the tool and can be activated by pressing the small yellow button below the light. It doesn't use batteries, instead you charge it with an included USB cable! Once you open the multitool, it has spring loaded pliers that come out in the middle. They are ridged to provide a good grip and also have the larger opening near the base to easily grasp stubborn nuts as well as a wire cutter. On one side of the handle, you can fold out a small pocketknife, phillips screwdriver, a bottle opener with a medium flathead screwdriver header, and a small 2 inch ruler with hook remover and fish descaler on it as well. The other side of the handle opens up into a saw,  small flathead screwdriver, can opener and a small file with a large flathead screwdriver head on the tip.  Each separate tool has a small slot on the side that you can easily pull out with your finger. 

 This is a very easy to use, lightweight multitool with a lot of great functions! My favorite is definitely the rechargable LED flashlight! I have over a dozen different multitools, and have never seen that function before!  This is a really awesome tool to carry around for everyday use and can cover pretty much any need you may have with an active tinkering lifestyle!

  I have a six year old son, and I'm currently expecting another little boy. A common problem I've had is having stuffed animals, books, colors, toys and food spread out all over my backseat, especially on long car trips. It's especially frustrating when we're on the highway, and something he needs has fallen to the floor or ended up on the other side of the seat out of reach. I have actually had times where I've had to pull over on the side of a highway just to retrieve a stuffed animal he somehow can't manage without until our next stop. I was given the opportunity to review this awesome back seat organizer, and it really has simplified car trips!

  The back seat organizer was very easy to install. I has two fully adjustable straps with buckles that will fit over pretty much any car seat shape. I had it installed in a minute flat! It fits nice and snug to the back of the seat and doesn't flap around hitting your kid's legs like some other organizers. The extra large size measures 25.6 x 16.5 and can hold quite a bit of stuff. It's made of a lightweight durable material with tight stitching. A cute gray and white chevron lining adds an eye-pleasing pop that accents my black leather seat covers perfectly! 
  The seat cover has a zippered mesh pocket on the very top that is perfect for keeping snacks or books in. The middle row has three medium sized pockets that can actually fir quite a bit in them! The bottom row had a jumbo pocket with two large sized pockets in front of it as well. All the pockets are perfect for keeping stuffed animals, toys, coloring books, juice bottles and pretty much whatever else you may think of in it. I was surprised with how much room was in this organizer! It's large size perfectly covers the back of my seat to help protect it from kick marks, which is one of my pet peeves. 
 My son was able to easily reach everything he needed in the organizer and it really helped keep all his critical items within easy access. I'm so happy to finally have a convenient travel system now!
