I just got my first microfiber towel a few weeks ago, and absolutely fell in love with it! This is my second microfiber towel, and let me say, I've fallen in love all over again!
I absolutely love the color of this towel! It's a nice rich, vibrant blue. It's actually very soft, but still thin like other microfiber towels. It's even larger than a regular bath towel, measuring 52"x 31" and gives you a nice full coverage. I hate towels that are too small, and this one definitely gives me nice coverage! I decided to test it out by drying off with it after a shower. It wicked away all my moisture with barely any effort and the towel itself barely felt damp when I was done. I'm amazed at how fast my hair dried with this towel! I let it hang dry for about 30 minutes, and then it easily rolled up into a really tiny roll that is perfect for gym bags or even your purse! The edges are nicely stitched, and I don't see them coming undone even under the most rough abuse. I'm definitely becoming a huge fan of microfiber towels, especially after trying this nice big one out!

First off, I have to say that this is absolutely the coolest lamp I've ever had! I like to stay up late at night reading past the time when my husband falls asleep. He's constantly complaining about my lamp bothering him by being too bright, and I'll just throw a shirt or towel over it to try to dim it. I was offered to review this Dimmable LED lamp by OxyLED, and we just instantly fell in love with it!
The lamp has a nice smooth light surface, with a black, light blocking hood to it. The base has a plug in the back and of course comes with an AC adapter plug. It also includes a dual USB charging port in the base so you can easily plug your phone or any other common device into it. The lamp is very lightweight, it only weighs three pounds! Setup was a breeze, I simply unboxed it, took the protective stickers off and plugged it in. It has a very sleek modern design and looks very high tech.
The controls are just amazingly easy to use and actually kind of fun to play around with! It's all adjusted with just the light touch of one finger! When the lamp is off, the center button in an amber color. I just tapped it with my finger, and it came on with super bright LED lights. When I tapped the button again, it switched to a softer warm yellow light. A third tap turned it off again. When the light is on, there's six different brightness levels you can choose from. All you have to do is drag your finger on the colored dots in a counterclockwise motion to dim them. To brighten, just drag your finger back clockwise until you find the perfect setting. It is extremely easy, and I was able to find the absolute perfect light level that I desired in just moments. It also has memory, and will resume at the exact setting that you had it on before turning it off. Usually, with my old lamp, I have to fumble around to find the switch to turn it off late at night and I'm half asleep. Last night, I just reached over and tapped the center button without having to search or fuss with it at all.
The light is also fully adjustable to literally any angle you may desire. The instructions suggest to hold the stem while you turn the light to the desired position. It had a little resistance, but was easy to turn and stayed in the exact position that I left it in. I was even able to turn the light completely upside down, pointing up at the ceiling, and it stayed there! The light has a solid black backing that is completely light-blocking, so if you point it in one direction, you won't get blasted in the eyes from the other side. It was amazing reading last night! My book was very clearly illuminated and very easy and clear to read, while the rest of the room was kept dark so my husband could sleep comfortably. This really is the most amazing lamp I've ever had! I am thoroughly impressed with it, and my poor old lamp is going to have to go out to the storage shed now! It's so easy to use, even my six year old son immediately grasped how to use it, and I actually had to chase him away from it because he kept playing with it!

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. It has two rows of compartments. The top row has a clear plastic covered compartment that is perfect for a DVD player or i-pad. (My husband had the dvd player in his car at work, so I didn't get a picture with it). It also has two smaller pouches that are perfect for snacks, small toys or any other little object your kid might need at hand. The bottom row had a large middle pocket to easily fit a large stuffed animal, books or anything else you might need. It has two smaller pouched on the side of that also that fit a bottle or juice cup perfectly! 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!

I have a six year old son and it's hard to try to keep my backseat clean! I can't tell you how many times I find food wrappers, french fries, candy and other misc stuff scattered all over my backseat and floorboard after a long trip. I've tries keeping a plastic grocery bag in the backseat, but somehow he conveniently forgets about it while he's absorbed in his coloring book. I was offered to review this awesome Car Bage Can by Vayeebo , and it's absolutely wonderful!
The Car Bage Can came neatly folded up and is fully collapsible at any time if you need to stash it out of the way. It easily pops up into a nice solid rectangle that measures 11.8" high, 7" wide and 11.8" deep. It came with a handful of plain plastic bags with handles and can easily accommodate a regular plastic grocery bag when you run out of them. The inside part can easily be removed if your bag leaks or falls in case a zesty kiddo throws something in there that's extra messy. It's also waterproof, so if something messy does end up in the bottom, you don't have to worry about it leaking out all over your floorboards! When you don't want it open, you can easily shut the top with a velcro seal. The Car Bage can also has a handy little side pocket that I found perfect for stashing the extra trash bags. There's also two small mesh pouches on either side that would be perfect for keeping wipes or hand sanitizer in too! There's a strap with snaps that easily attached to the back of a seat or any other place that you may desire to anchor it to.
Overall, this Car Bage Can is going to greatly help me keep my car clean, and my six year old is actually interested in throwing his trash in there! It's very easy to clean and easy to stash away if need be!

I like to keep my car looking nice and comfortable, since it's the one we like to take on long trips. I have my black leather seat covers, fashionable floor mats, cool steering wheel cover and a bluetooth stereo in it. One thing I did not have was shoulder pads. We recently went on a long 5 hour car trip, and my seatbelt was starting to chafe on my neck and actually rubbed it a little bit raw by the time we got back home. When I had the opportunity to review these shoulder pads, I thought they'd be awesome to have in my car!
The wool shoulder pads came in a nice gray color that perfectly matched my black leather seat covers and all my other accents in my car. They were extremely soft and very comfortable! Putting them on was a breeze. The open up and have a long velcro strip that is very secure. I just simply wrapped the cover around my seatbelt at the desired spot, and voila- instant comfort! I just had to take my car out for a spin with these on to try them out. They were nice and padded without being too bulky and definitely protected my neck from the seatbelt. They actually helped keep my seatbelt in place close to my shoulder so it didn't really ride up my neck at all. I'm very happy with these seatbelt covers, and they are so soft and comfortable!

I live in central Texas, and let me tell you, the sun can really beat down on you pretty much year round! I mean, here we are at the beginning of February, and it's 85 degrees outside! In the front of my car, it's east to just pop down the visor if the sun bothers me, but my poor son in he backseat just has to try to dodge the rays as much as he can in his carseat. I was thrilled to have the opportunity to review these sun shades, and my son is relieved that we have them now!
The sun shades came in a nice small pouch that is very easy to travel with. One I pulled them out of the pouch, it was like they were spring loaded and just popped open really quick on me! The measure a nice large 19.4" x 14.2" and they came with six suction cups to easily attach to the window. The suction cups slide on to the thicker edges of the sunshade to securely hold it in place, yet you can still move them around if need be. The sunshades themselves are nice and see through so my son can still look out the window, he's not completely cut off like some other sunshades. While they're see thru, they still block the sun effectively and protect against harmful UV rays. I am very happy with these sunshades, and my son is thrilled that he won't get all toasty in the backseat anymore!

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!

Apparently, silicone rings are all the rage right now. They're perfect for when you're doing heavy work or at the gym and find it inconvenient to wear your regular wedding ring. I recently got my my husband a silicone ring, and he finds it extremely comfortable and easy to wear while he does his work. The silicone wedding ring that I received came in a cute little gift box and also came with a neat silicone clip on keychain!
I got the ring in a size 7, which is my normal ring size. It fit very well and it's nice and snug without being too tight. The ring is very comfortable to wear and I actually pretty much forgot I was wearing it within 10 minutes! I've been wearing it for a few hours now, and so far I'm not getting all sweaty like some other silicone bands. It's nice and thin and not bulky and doesn't get in the way at all with my normal daily activities.
I loved the keychain that came with it! It's a nice cool aqua color and easily clipped on to my car keys. The loop is big enough to easily fit over my wrist to conveniently carry my keys and was very comfortable. It all came in a cute little box that is perfect for gifting to somebody! I absolutely love my new silicone ring and will be wearing it from now on!

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!

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!
