Galaxy S6 Edge case, ImpactStrong® [Non Slip] Textured Grip Cover [Shock Proof] For Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge - Mint/White

I ordered the Galaxy S6 Edge case, ImpactStrong® [Non Slip] Textured Grip Cover [Shock Proof] For Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge - Mint/White since my former case was broken.  I really like this one better.  Here are my thoughts on it:
The case comes apart.  The white and mint are 2 different pieces.
It wasn’t the easiest to put on in the first place but now it goes on and off easier.
There was one spot where I had to use a nail file and shave a little off of the white so it fit correctly.  It is fine now.
The color is what I expected and nice and bright.
The buttons work much better on this one than the other one I had. I love that part!
There is plenty of room for my charger to plug in.  My old one had a flap and it did not work as well.
It feels good in my hand and isn’t slippery.
I would recommend this case. It works very well.  I received this product for free in exchange for an honest and unbiased review.

Crafty Croc Liquid Chalk Markers, Jumbo 18 Pack, Neon Plus Earth Colors 6mm Reversible Tip, 2 Replacement Tips Included

When I ordered the Crafty Croc Liquid Chalk Markers, Jumbo 18 Pack, Neon Plus Earth Colors 6mm Reversible Tip, 2 Replacement Tips Included I had never used chalk markers before.  I was not sure what to expect but am pleasantly surprised.  I got them to write notes on my windows and mirrors.  I took them to work and my coworker used them there on the blackboard.  They worked very well.  We did some experimenting and learned how to change the tips.  You can do either bullet or chisel tip.  I like the chisel tip for writing and the bullet tip for filling in items.  The colors are nice and bright.  I have learned that it is best to store these on their side.  This is something that people don’t realize.  I kept these are work for a while and every time I came back someone had put them right side up again.  It makes me chuckle.  Basically when on their side they don’t have to be primed as much.  They also included 2 extra tips in case you mess one up somehow.  I have not had to replace any yet.  This pack has most any color you would want.  I would recommend this set to you if you are looking for a good working marker with lots of colors.  I received this product for free in exchange for an honest and unbiased review.

Hoont 2 Pack Plug-in Electronic Total Pest Eliminator + Night Light - Eradicates Insects and Rodents

I got the Hoont 2 Pack Plug-in Electronic Total Pest Eliminator + Night Light - Eradicates Insects and Rodents to add to the protection in my home.  I have another Hoont pest controller too.  I will be honest, I do not understand all the ins and outs of this product.  I know there are 3 different ways that it is repelling the pests.  It works inside the walls as well as in the room. You can choose which of the 3 ways you want it to work and since I don’t understand that part I just chose all 3.  I haven’t had it long enough to say if it has helped but my other Hoont one does.  I will see better as the time goes on and update my review.
The product has a night light too which some people would like but I am not needing that and it is a bit bright.  Unfortunately I have not found a way to turn the night light off.  If you do not want the night light I would suggest getting one of the other Hoont Pest repellers.
I would recommend this product if you would like the night light, otherwise I would suggest looking at the others of this brand.  I received this product for free in exchange for an honest and unbiased review.

[Qualcomm Certified]Nekteck Quick Charge 2.0 54W 4 Ports USB Rapid Turbo Car Charger for Samsung Galaxy S6/ S6 Edge/ Edge+, Note 5/ 4/ Edge, Nexus 6 and More, Black(3.3FT Micro USB Cable included)

I got the Nekteck Quick Charge 2.0 54W 4 Ports USB Rapid Turbo Car Charger so that we would have more ports to charge with.  There are always fights over who gets to charge and “are you finished yet?”  Now we don’t need to argue.
This USB charger fits nicely into the outlet in my van and doesn’t fall out.  I have had chargers that would not stay in but this does not have that problem.
There is a tiny light on it that shows that it is working.  I really like this since I always mix up which of my outlets need the key on and which doesn’t.  Now I know when I have the correct one.  The light is not that bright either so it doesn’t bother me at night when driving.
The charger has one fast charging port and 3 regular ports.  All of them work really well.  They all seem to charge quickly.  I ordered a set of long USB charging cords to go with this since they do not come with it.  This way I am always prepared.  Since this has 4 ports it is a little larger than some of the others so you might have to turn it so you don’t run into things.  This would be expected though with 4 ports.
I would recommend this to anyone looking for one of these. I received this product at a discount in exchange for an honest and unbiased review.

CTC Creative Liquid Chalk Markers|10 Color Premium Artist Quality Marker Pen Set| 6 mm Reversible Chisel to Bullet Point Tips | Use for Glass, Whiteboards, Metal, Menu Boards, Child Safe, Non Toxic

I got the CTC Creative Liquid Chalk Markers 10 pack to write messages on my mirror at home.  I like to write myself inspirational or encouraging messages to keep myself upbeat.  I usually just tape up the messages. Now I am able to write and erase them easily.  I usually keep the point on the chisel tip but you can change them to a bullet point too.  That would work well for filling in areas or if you want a more even look to your writing. I keep them in the drawer laying flat like the instructions say to do. I don’t have to prime them much this way when I decide to use them.  They look very nice and the colors are much nicer than my pictures show.  I have also used them at work on the chalkboard and this works well too.  They look very nice against the black background.  I use a wipe to clean it off when we are finished with it.  I would recommend them to you if you are looking for a multicolor pack.  They work great!  I received this product at a discount in exchange for an honest and unbiased review.

R We There Yet Retro Style RFID Blocking Passport Holder Neck Stash

I got the R We There Yet Retro Style RFID Blocking Passport Holder Neck Stash in green because I already have the black one.  This way my husband and I don’t get them mixed up.  These are very nicely made.  I really like that they have lots of pockets for things.  I don’t have to be digging in my purse for things.  Instead I can put my purse in my carry-on and use this for a wallet and purse.  I tried putting some things in it and I believe it will hold all that I need it to.  It will hold my passport, money, credit card, driver’s license, a small pill container and my phone.  Because of the RFID blocking I can feel safe.  The zippers work well and there is a Velcro closure too.  I like that you can adjust the neck strap.  I like mine longer than my husband does so we are both happy with ours. I would recommend it to anyone looking for this type of product.  I received this product at a discount in exchange for an honest and unbiased review.

ArtNaturals Peppermint Oil 100% Pure and Natural Premium Therapeutic Grade Mentha Peperita Essential 4 Oz Oil

I got the ArtNaturals Peppermint Oil 100% Pure and Natural Premium Therapeutic Grade Mentha Peperita Essential 4 Oz Oil to use in my wax warmer at Christmas time to make the house smell festive but then I found that there are many other uses for it.  It came in a dark glass bottle which is good for keeping the light off of it and keeping it good.  It also has a dropper with it.  I put a few drops in my wax warmer when the old scent was gone and it worked great!  It smells wonderful and festive.  I also put some on a few pine cones I have setting around the house.
I have now read that peppermint oil helps with headaches so I am trying that.  I put some on my temples and it seems to help but I need more time to say for sure.
I also used it in a diffuser for a cold I was getting. It really did help with the congestion.  It smells so much better than the vicks!  Lol  I am hoping it helps when I get a worse cold too. It might be my new best friend.

This is a nice big bottle and it seems to be just as good as the expensive little bottle I had before.  Although I had not tried the old one on headaches or colds.  I would recommend this to you to try.  It is much cheaper and you might like it just as well.  I received this product for free in exchange for an honest and unbiased review.

Ultra Fast Digital Instant Read Meat Thermometer | Folding, Stainless Steel Probe for Grilling & Oven from BBQ Sniper

I ordered the Ultra Fast Digital Instant Read Meat Thermometer | Folding, Stainless  Steel Probe for Grilling & Oven from BBQ Sniper  and it is a nice thermometer.  Here are my thoughts on it:

Pros:

It is in a sturdy box.  This is something you could easily gift wrap.  It would make a nice gift.  Or you could put it in a grill basket with other grill things for a gift.

It reads in Celsius or Fahrenheit.

It automatically turns on and off when opened and closed. This is a really nice feature for me.

The batteries are included.  At first I thought they weren’t or that it was broke but then I realized that they were in there but I had to take them out of the plastic packaging.  I really like when the batteries are included so big plus for me here.

It has an automatic shut off.  If you leave it lay open and forget to shut it off, it will automatically turn itself off to save the batteries.  I am forgetful so this is great for me.  The first time I used it I left it lay and found out about this feature.

It seems to be accurate.  I tested it with my non digital thermometer and they seemed about the same.

Cons:

It is sharp.  This is a pro and a con.  It punctures the food easily to test it but if you keep it in a drawer watch out.  I ended up putting it back in the box.

All in all I think you will be pleased with this thermometer.  It will make a nice gift or a great item for yourself.  I received this product for free in exchange for an honest and unbiased review.

Cozia Design Premium Ski Mask + Magic Scarf/ Winter Face Mask - Best Winter Bundle !

I got the Cozia Design Premium Ski Mask + Magic Scarf/ Winter Face Mask to keep in the minivan to use in case I stall or have an accident.  Living in an area of stow and wind, it can be very dangerous if you stall.  Now I have something to use that case. Here are my thoughts:

Pros:

The ski mask has a drawstring to tighten it so it stays in place.  It also locks in place.

The Magic scarf is a tube of stretchy fabric that fits over the face.

Both items cover well.  They fit over the ears too.  That is crucial to prevent frostbite.

They wash up well in the washer.  I did not put them in the dryer since I did not want to take a chance with that.  I let them hang dry.

The ski mask has breathing holes and also a cut out under the nose so that it is breathable.  It did not seem to get all wet like happens when you wear a facemask stocking cap.

The fabrics are nice and fell soft.

Cons:

The magic scarf is rather thin and won’t keep a lot of cold out but will take the edge off.

These are great products that I have not yet tested in subzero temps but will see what happens.  It gives me more security travelling in the cold. It you need such a product this is a quality one.  I received this product for free in exchange for an honest and unbiased review.






BaeLove ® Baby Car Mirror | Back Seat Rear-facing Infant In Sight | Cleaning Cloth | Luxury Holiday Gift Box | CRASH TESTED | Lifetime Guarantee

Wow!  This is not what I expected.  When I ordered the BaeLove Baby Car Mirror I thought it was going to be like the one I had when I had my babies.  I am now the grandma and need something for when I have the grandkids.  Boy, have the mirrors changed.  Here are my thoughts:

Pros:

This is a high quality mirror.  It is thick and feels like a very good quality item.

Large.  The mirror is much larger than I expected.

Curved.  The mirror is curved slightly to give you more to see.

Attaches easily.  There are 4 straps that you put around the headrest and click together.  Tighten them and you are ready.

Safe.  The mirror is not glass so it won’t shatter and cut your child in the event of an accident or if they throw a toy or something at it.

Adjustable. There is a swivel thing between the headrest and mirror that makes it easy to get just the right angle to see your child.

Cleaning cloth included.  This isn’t a big deal to me but I thought I would mention that they included a cloth that you can use to clean it without scratching it.

Shipped with a protective cover so it is not scratched in shipping.

Comes in a box that would be fine for wrapping and gifting.

Very clear mirror.  The mirror is very clear and easy to see in it.

Cons:

I did not find any really.  I looked hard but all I could come  up with is a little bit of shake while going down the road.

All in all, I found this to be a very nice product.  I did not expect it to be so nice.  I can see my grandson and keep him from getting scared.  I would definitely recommend it as a baby gift.  I know I will be getting more of them.I received this product for free in exchange for an honest and unbiased review.

Angelic Soles Foot Mask - Exfoliation Peel & Foot Soak Callus Peeling Remover Leaves Skin Feeling As Soft & Smooth As a Baby Foot

I got the Angelic Soles Foot Mask to help with the roughness on my heels.  I have never used anything like this before.  Here are my thoughts:

Pros:

They are plastic booties.  I wear a size 10 shoe and they fit fine.  You use red tapes to make them fitted and stay on.

Directions are simple.  Soak your feet for about 10 minutes and then put the booties on for an hour.

They are soft and gel like.  When you put them on it is a little cool but that could just feel that way more because of soaking my feet in hot water.

They soften the feet. My feet were smoother and softer.  My feet did not peel but that is supposed to take a few days.

They have a 30-day satisfaction guarantee.  This is good so that you don’t have to worry.  If they don’t work you can get your money back.

Cons:

Don’t walk around with the booties on.  It isn’t that you “can’t” but I felt like they were a bit slippery and I did not feel safe.

I really think these things work.  I do not have really thick calluses with deep cracks but just some roughness.  I will have to update if they peel like it says.  Due to the guarantee you could try these with confidence.  If it doesn’t work just contact them and get your money back.  I received this product at a discount in exchange for an honest and unbiased review.

Heart Felt Bamboo Reusable Cloth Menstrual Pads (Spots Print, 5 Pack) Charcoal Absorbency Layer. Washable, Reusable Sanitary Pads. Say No To Disposable Tampons & Sanitary Napkins

I got the Heart Felt Bamboo Reusable Cloth Menstrual Pads (Spots Print, 5 Pack) for my niece to try.  The brand they have used previously is no longer available.  My niece is 14 and was so excited to try these.  She really liked the print.  I think this brand has a new customer! Here are her mom’s thoughts on the product:

These pads were very soft and comfortable and also very beautiful.

There were no problems with leakage.

They were easy to put on and stayed in position.

There were no directions included to tell how to use them or wash them. We just washed them in warm water and they came out fine. Prior to washing, we rinsed them out by hand until the water ran clear. The feeling of the synthetic material was a little icky during the rinsing process.

Overall, they were a good purchase that met our needs well. We may buy more when we need them again.

Kitchen Herb Shears (5 Blades) and Kitchen Scissors Set, Soft Handle, Red and Black, Extra Sharp, Professional Grade Stainless Steel Culinary Food with Cooking Ebook

When I got the Kitchen Herb Shears (5 Blades) and Kitchen Scissors Set, Soft Handle, Red and Black, Extra Sharp, Professional Grade Stainless Steel Culinary Food with Cooking Ebook, I did not know what all I was getting.  This is a nice set though.  Here are my thoughts:

Pros:

If your house is anything like mine, I can NEVER find my kitchen shears when I need it.  This set has a big magnetic holder for the shears.   I put it on my fridge so now I can see at a glance if any of the kids have grabbed it and not put it back.  I always know where to find it.

The blades are VERY sharp!!!  Be very careful so you don’t cut yourself.

These items are dishwasher safe.  They recommend hand washing but say you can also use the dishwasher.  I hate handwashing so this is good for me.

I had never used an herb shears before so I wasn’t sure what to do with it.  I tried it with my green onions and it worked great.  I also put my cabbage in a bowl in chunks and took the shears and kept cutting to make a good coleslaw.

It also has a little comb thing to clean out between the blades of the herb shears.

Cons:

The peeler on the kitchen shears is a bit awkward to me.  Not a big deal though.  I only plan to use it as a scissors.
So this is a nice set that comes in a box so you could easily wrap it as a gift.  I received this product for free in exchange for an honest and unbiased review.
