Plantar Fasciitis Insoles, Orthotic Insoles, Insoles Support the Heel and Provide Extreme Comfort for Men

The Plantar Fasciitis Insoles, Orthotic Insoles, Insoles Support the Heel and Provide Extreme Comfort for Men work well for me.
The first thing you need to do is cut them down to size. Just use a scissors.
I buy my shoes a little roomy to allow space for an insole. Otherwise my shoes will be a bit tight. I am used to having insoles so my shoes still fit well when I put these in.
The insoles are not really cushiony but instead they provide lots of support. If you have plantar fasciitis you need support more than cushion. I don’t suffer from it like I used to but used some more expensive insoles a few years ago that helped. Now, I get insoles to make sure it doesn’t come back. I love the support. If you aren’t used to this kind of insole it might take some getting used to but stick it out a few days and you will find how much they help.
I have neuropathy from chemo that makes me feel unstable walking across the grass and these make me feel a bit more stable than my former insoles.
I have the men’s and women’s of these.  My sneakers are usually bigger since that is how I like them so I use the men’s in those and the women’s in my dressier shoes. So don’t think that just because you are a women you have to use  the women’s.  
I like these and they are certainly worth a try for you. I recommend them. I received this product at a discount in exchange for an honest and unbiased review.

Set of 8 Stainless Steel Chain Extender for Necklace Bracelet Jewelry Extenders

The Set of 8 Stainless Steel Chain Extender for Necklace Bracelet Jewelry Extenders gives a lot of choice for how you will wear your necklace.  I did not try using it at all with a bracelet but it says you can use it for them too.
My husband buys me necklaces sometimes and they always come with an 18 inch chain.  I need a 20 inch.  I have told him but you know how husbands can me.  Lol  I don’t want to complain too much so he won’t quite buying them for me.   These extenders make it that I can wear them right away.
The chains are thicker than I expected.  I wish they were a little thinner like my chains are.
The color is a little different than my gold but will work fine.  If you have long hair nobody will even see that you have them on your necklace.
You can clasp each end to the ends of your necklace or you can clasp the necklace end to one of the links to make a custom length.
They stay put in the back pretty well.  Once in a while they come to the front but not too often.
If you try them I believe you will like them.  They really do what they say they should do.  I received this product at a discount in exchange for an honest and unbiased review.

FastOVacuum Wine Preserver Pump - Wine Saver with 2 Stoppers

The FastOVacuum Wine Preserver Pump - Wine Saver with 2 Stoppers is a great product for anyone that doesn’t finish a bottle of wine.  I have been told to try drinking a small glass of wine before bed to help me relax and sleep better.  Well, a bottle lasts a week if you just drink a small glass each day.  I have found that it does taste better now that I am using the wine saver.
All you have to do is put the stopper in the bottle and then put the pump on top and pump it until it resists and then you know it is ready.  I put it in the fridge and the next day I push the button on the stopper that lets the air back in.
I like to use this with my soda pop too.  It keeps most of the fizz.

Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge Screen Protector: Stalion® Shield Ultra HD Armor Guard Transparent Crystal Clear Japanese PET Film (3-Pack)[Retail Packaging]

The Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge Screen Protector: Stalion® Shield Ultra HD Armor Guard Transparent Crystal Clear Japanese PET Film (3-Pack)[Retail Packaging] worked great on the phone.  I had one on already but it was coming up a bit on the edges.
Be sure to follow the directions and don’t just slap it on.  There is a cleaning process and I liked what they sent for that.  The plastic took was great for getting out any air bubbles.  I have previously put on a protector so this was easy for me.  I think the instructions are clear though for anyone who is new to this.
I can’t say whether it will protect my phone at all in a drop since I have not dropped it and am not going to do it just to test it.  Lol
The screen still works the same when I touch it so that is great.
You really can’t see it on my phone since it went on really well.
If you are looking for this type of screen protector, I think this will be a good one to purchase.  I received this product for free in exchange for an honest and unbiased review.

Dynamic Chef 10 ¾" Stainless Steel Cooking Tongs, Silicone tips & grips, for BBQ, Meat, Poultry, Veggies, Heat Resistant, Vibrant Turquoise color

These tongs are very nice! The Dynamic Chef 10 ¾" Stainless Steel Cooking Tongs, Silicone tips & grips, for BBQ, Meat, Poultry, Veggies, Heat Resistant, Vibrant Turquoise color are heavy duty and hold up nicely.
They are called “vibrant turquoise” but I don’t think that vibrant is the word I would use.  They are a great color but not bright.  This is why I gave it 4 stars.
I like that they can lock to stay closed so when I am digging for them in the drawer they aren't taking up so much space and getting caught on everything. To lock them you hold them closed and pull on the O on the hinge. To open them you can either push in the O or hit it on the counter to push it in. You can do it one handed which is really handy if you are cooking and holding other things.
The handles also have silicone on them which is really nice. I have neuropathy from chemo and it makes it much easier to hold onto them and use them. The tongs have silicone tips so they can be used on nonstick surfaces. The silicone stands up to the heat really well too.
They are dishwasher safe so a breeze to clean up. They also clean easily in the sink. I have not had trouble with any discoloring.
The other nice thing is that if you would like to hang them by the stove you can. The O on the end of the handle works as a hanger too.
I highly recommend them. They would be great as part of a kitchen gift basket.   I received this product at a discount in exchange for an honest and unbiased review.

Fire 7 2015 Case - BMOUO Shock Proof Light Weight Kids Case Super Protection Cover Convertible Handle Stand Case for Amazon Fire 7 inch Display Tablet (5th Generation - 2015 Release Only), Blue

I got the Fire 7 2015 Case - BMOUO Shock Proof Light Weight Kids Case Super Protection Cover Convertible Handle Stand Case for Amazon Fire 7 inch Display Tablet (5th Generation - 2015 Release Only), Blue to use with my Fire.  I have 7 grandchildren and they like to grab my Fire and play with it.  Some of them handle it very gently but some of them are rather rough with it and sometimes even give it a toss.  I am always worried about if it is going to break.  I am hoping that this will help.
I love the handle on it!  This makes it really easy for the little ones to carry it around.  It will not slip out of their hands this way.  Then the handle doubles as a little stand for it.  That is really nice if they are watching something on it.  I set it up and they can lay down and watch.
The case is a foam type case and is very lightweight.  I am not sure how it will hold up when two of the kids decide to fight over it and have a tug of war.  At least if they drop it doing that it won’t break.  The case sticks out in front to protect the screen of the Fire.  This way if they lay it on the screen, the screen will not go against the table and get scratched.
I would recommend this case if you have little ones that use your Fire.  The Fire is great and you want to protect it.  It would even be great for a gift.  I received this product at a discount in exchange for an honest and unbiased review.

QuikFish Swimming Goggles, No Leak, Anti Fog, UV Protection, Wide Angle Visibility, Fits Men Women and Youth, Quick and Easily Adjustable, Comfortable Fit with Protective Case

The QuikFish Swimming Goggles, No Leak, Anti Fog, UV Protection, Wide Angle Visibility, Fits Men Women and Youth, Quick and Easily Adjustable, Comfortable Fit with Protective Case is a nice pair of goggles.  Fortunately we have a hotel with a pool that lets us swim so I could try these out.
They did not leak.  I had no problems with water in them like some goggles do.  The rubber or they might be silicone  seals are soft and feel good on the face.  After doing laps for a while they still feel comfortable.
They stayed in place.  When I dove in they did not come off. They have a split strap in the back which really helps with them staying in place.  They hold the head nicely.  I put them over a swim cap so I can’t say if it sticks to the hair.
I did not have any trouble with them fogging up which is really important to me.  I need to see where I am going or I run into a wall so I like this.
There is a slight blue tint to the lenses but it does not get in the way of seeing.  People can still see  your eyes too.
I love that they come with a carrying case.  I have broken too many straps when pulling my goggles out of my bag.
I think these would be great if you need goggles.  I am not sure how they fit a child but they are great for any adult.  Try them out.  I received this product at a discount in exchange for an honest and unbiased review.

Puzzlebug 500 - Liftoff At Albuquerque Baloon

I got this puzzle for my husband for Christmas.  We used to do puzzles so I thought it would be nice to do this one together.  It has been a long time since I did puzzles so when I got the puzzle my first thought was Wow, it is small.  Now, this is my own fault.  We must have done 1,000 piece puzzles before and this one is 500 pieces.  
My husband and my first date was to hot air balloon races so the picture was perfect for us.  Also, since the balloons were different from each other, it was not so difficult.  We did not need a really difficult one since it has been so long.  The picture is colorful and would be nice on a wall if you decided to glue it together.
The pieces are the regular pieces that have 2 tabs out and 2 tabs in.  They are not all funny shaped.  Also, they are different enough from each other that you don’t sit and wonder if they fit or not. They are also a nice size.
We did this on a square card table and the pieces all fit on it with room to do the puzzle too.
If you are looking for a puzzle to do that is not too difficult but still takes time and makes you look and think, this is a good one.  We actually did it two times.  I did it once with my husband and once with my daughter and son in law.  All of us enjoyed it.  I hope you do too.

I got the Super Power Supply® AC / DC Laptop Adapter Charger Cord Replacement for Lenovo Ideapad G580 59359079 ; N585 751027u ; N586 59359207 7540xf1 754084u ; P500 59345704 59347559 ; P580 308725u ; P585 4575h4u ; S400 59359130 ; Y500 59359554 ; Z575 12992du ; Z580 215126u ; Z585 261729u 59345307 90 Watt Netbook Notebook Battery Plug to use as a second charger for my Lenovo Ideapad Z570.
I have been using this with my Lenovo Ideapad Z570 for a couple of weeks now and it seems to work as well as the charger that came with my laptop.  Here are the things that I have noticed about it.
The wall plug fits well.  It is not loose so it stays plugged in even if the cord gets pulled a little.  It is a 3 prong plug.  The plug into the computer is also nice and snug so it stays in place.
The cords seem thick enough. There are two pieces, the one from the wall to the box and then the box to the computer.
The power box thing (sorry I am not technical) does not get hot when plugged in for a while.
It is 8 feet long.  It is about a foot shorter than the one that came with my computer.
I will update the review if it starts to fail on my but for now I recommend this off brand charger.  I use it as a second charger.  I keep this one in my laptop bag so I have it at work with me and that way I can leave the other at home ready to go.  I received this product at a discount in exchange for an honest and unbiased review.

BakeitFun Silicone Baking Mat with Measurements, Reusable Non-Stick Surface, Half Sheet, 16.5 x 11-Inch, Gummy Green with Digital Cookbook

I love the BakeitFun Silicone Baking Mat with Measurements, Reusable Non-Stick Surface, Half Sheet, 16.5 x 11-Inch, Gummy Green with Digital Cookbook.  I did not use the digital cookbook so I cannot comment on that.  I just don’t like digital books.  That is me but you might like that.
For starters it is dishwasher safe which is important to me.  I do not like to hand wash Items.  When I can put it in the dishwasher I feel like it is sanitized.  I just lay this over the top rack of my dishwasher and it comes clean.
The mat I got had rulers on the sides of the mat.  This is nice for knowing when I have the right side when I am rolling out dough.  It could also help to make thing the same size or for cutting dough into strips or squares. There are also circles on the mat for cookies but I have not used those yet.  I might try using them this week though when I make meringues.
This says it is microwave safe but I have not used it in the microwave.  The smaller mats might be more convenient for that.
I have an old Tupperware mat that I have used for when I roll dough.  This is SO much nicer!  Don’t get me wrong I love Tupperware stuff but their dough mat is rolled and tries to roll up when I am rolling my dough.  This mat does not do that.  Then I unroll it it stays unrolled until I roll it back up for my cupboard.
This mat does not slide around when I am using it to roll dough either.  This is great since I hate chasing my mat.  But as much as it is sticky for rolling and staying in place, the dough does not stick to it.  When I am making cutout cookies or pie dough or pizza dough, the dough does not stick to the mat and I can just lift it easily.
As far as baking, it is great for cookies.  They lift right off without any sticking.  I also make sugar bacon on it.  I love this stuff but it is very sticky and will stick to the pan in the oven.  I have used foil too but it sticks to that too.  So if you have anything you want a nonstick pan for this is the answer.
I would recommend this to anyone who likes to roll out dough or bake anything that might stick to a pan.  This would make a great addition to a kitchen gift basket for a shower.  I received this product at a discount in exchange for an honest and unbiased review.

LotFancy Soft and Comfortable Hot or Cold Gel-Pack - Reusable Heating or Cooling Therapy for Sprains, Muscle or Joint Pain, Arthritis, Bruises, Fever, Etc. (10.8 X4.9 inch)

The LotFancy Soft and Comfortable Hot or Cold Gel-Pack - Reusable Heating or Cooling Therapy for Sprains, Muscle or Joint Pain, Arthritis, Bruises, Fever, Etc. (10.8 X4.9 inch) is a nice pack.  I do not tend to have the need for a hot pack but I use an ice pack often enough.  I tend to have headaches and shoulder pain.  This is why I decided to order and review this item.
The first thing I noticed is that it says to freeze for 2 hours but I found it needed a bit more.  Three hours was pretty good so may be it was just my freezer.  When I took it out it was very flexible and the gel was soft.  I was able to mold it around my eyes for my headache or also around my shoulder.
The outer covering is fabric and says you don’t need something else but I found I still needed to put a thin towel around it so it wasn’t too cold on my bare skin.  I would imagine that for other people they would be find with out it but I like it better with a towel for the first little bit and then  I used it as it is.
I like that it is waterproof so if I have a headache and want to lay in a hot bath and put this on my head I don’t have to worry about ruining it.
I tested it in the microwave also so I would know how it worked.  I would not leave it in for 3 minutes.  I think that must be a maximum time.  I found a minute on 50% power was about right.  This was from room temperature.
Also, if you don’t have a microwave, you can boil it in water.  This would be great for camping.

Healthy Coffee - Great Tasting ON-THE-GO Black Coffee with Certified Organic Ganoderma and Chinese Wolfberry (Goji) - Sampler - Bag of 5 x 3.5gm sachets

When I ordered the Healthy Coffee - Great Tasting ON-THE-GO Black Coffee with Certified Organic Ganoderma and Chinese Wolfberry (Goji) - Sampler - Bag of 5 x 3.5gm sachets I thought they were filter packs.  This was my own fault for not reading it well.  I had never used instant coffee before so I don’t have anything to compare it to except regular filter coffee.
It came as little foil packs.  There were 5 of them all in a ziploc bag.  The foil bags were not as easy to open as I expected.  I grabbed a scissors and used them to open the pack.
The first thing I noticed after realizing that it was not a filter pack was that the coffee smelled great!  I loved the fresh smell.
When I put it in a cup of hot water it dissolved very well.  There were not extra chunks that did not mix in.
Since it only needs the hot water to make it would be a good thing to take camping with you.  I think it would be good for my elderly mother too.  He can heat the water and just add the packet.  She is confused by the coffee pot but loves coffee.
These packs can easily be carried in your purse too and I don’t think they will break open.
There was a little aftertaste.  I added some hot chocolate mix too the cup though and that tasted really good!  Creamer seemed to help with the aftertaste too.  It is not much of an aftertaste but thought I should mention it.
I would recommend this if you want an instant coffee.  I received this product at a discount in exchange for an honest and unbiased review.

Spring of Life: Pure Probiotics Supplement - 42.5 Billion CFUs. Works in Hours. No Refrigeration. Once Daily Formula

Spring of Life: Pure Probiotics Supplement - 42.5 Billion CFUs worked well for me. The pills were average sized and were no problem to wash down. The capsules had no taste.
The directions say to take one or more per day, but I just took one. This is what I had been taking with my former probiotic.   I didn't experience any side effects like gas or intestinal upset.
Each pill included eleven different probiotic strains, for a very diverse intestinal flora. They also contain two different forms of fiber, psyllium fiber and western larch. I haven't seen fiber in most other probiotics, so this is a big plus!
One thing that I didn't like was that there was a sticker on the bottle that covered up some of the information on the label. The directions themselves were still visible but I would like to see all the information.  For this reason I gave it 4 stars instead of 5.
I also was disappointed that there were only 30 capsules per bottle. I think this is probably due to the fiber added to the probiotic. The capsules were a little thicker than some of the other probiotic capsules, probably to provide more space for the additional ingredients. They were still easy to swallow, though, and looked average size for pills. But they must have taken up a bit more space than other brands, leading to the 30-pill capacity of the bottle.
I recommend these if you are looking for a probiotic and need fiber too.

Restoration® Lightweight & Comfortable Contoured Sleep Mask Including Moldex® Ear Plugs - The Perfect Eye Mask for Bedtime, Meditation, Napping...

This Restoration Lightweight & Comfortable Contoured Sleep Mask has a unique design. It has foam that makes it bulge out in front of the eyes. So you don't have something pressing against your eyes all night. You can put on the mask and open your eyes all the way and see just darkness. It really seals out the light! The mask is larger than most to give more complete coverage of the face. If you sleep on your back, it will be perfect for you by not pressing your eyes. If you sleep on your side or belly, you will get some pressure around whatever eye is against the pillow, since the pillow will press against the mask. Having the foam pressing near the eye may bother very sensitive people. Others may not like the mask going over the top of the nose. However, I have slept with this mask for about a week now and have found these features did not bother me. The material is smooth and soft.
The strap is adjustable for different sized heads or different preferences on tightness. The box says that the mask is washable but does not give washing directions. To be safe, I will probably wash it by hand in cool water and leave it to line dry.  I have not needed to do that yet.
This came with free ear plugs but I do not need them so I am not using them.
Overall, I think this mask is a great buy for the money! (12.99) It is comfortable, lightweight, and adjustable. I prefer it over my more conventional, flat mask, especially since I have a tendency toward dry eyes.  If I need one again, I will definitely go with this one.  I received this product for free in exchange for an honest and unbiased review.

Micro USB to Type C Adapter, Nekteck USB-C to Micro USB Convert Connector for Macbook 12", OnePlus 2, Nexus 5X/6P and More Type-C Supported Devices (Black)

I got the Micro USB to Type C Adapter, Nekteck USB-C to Micro USB Convert Connector for Macbook 12", OnePlus 2, Nexus 5X/6P and More Type-C Supported Devices (Black) and my first thought was, “What is this?” and then when I realized what it was and that I had ordered it I thought, “Wow! This thing is tiny!”  I am concerned that I will lose it sometime since I have issues with misplacing small items.
I am not very technical but this device will allow you to connect your micro USB cables, car chargers, battery packs and chargers with the newer USB C devices.  The USB C connector is on more and more of the new devices.  One of the problems with this is if you forgot your charger and lose charge it is hard to borrow someone else’s charger.  It will not work since it will be a different connector type.  This is a real problem for me since I have a tendency to forget my chargers.  Now, with this device I have the ability to borrow a charger.
When I travel and forget my charger I ask at the hotel front desk and they always have a micro USB cable but not the USB C kind.  I plan to keep one of these in my suitcase so when I travel I should always be able to charge any of my USB C devices.
This also makes it so you are able to use all those old micro USB cables that you have lying around. You don’t need to buy new ones.
This device works well and seems like it will be sturdy and last a long time.  I would recommend it to you if you need this kind of device.  I received this product for free in exchange for an honest and unbiased review.

Zahler Vitamin D3 (Cholecalciferol) 3000IU, An All-Natural Supplement Supporting Bone Muscle Teeth and Immune System , #1 Best Top Quality Vitamin D3 with High Absorption, Advanced Formula Targeting Vitamin D Deficiencies, Certified Kosher, 120 Softgels

When I got breast cancer and started chemo the doctor told me to begin taking Vitamin D3. I have been taking it since which is nearly a year. When I saw the Zahler Vitamin D3 (Cholecalciferol) 3,000IU up for review I thought I would give it a try. It is and extra 1,000 IU as what I had been taking but figured it should be ok.  I told my oncologist today that I upped my dosage and he said it was fine.  He did not say it was better but did not say it was bad either.  According to WebMD, It is also used for boosting the immune system, preventing autoimmune diseases, and preventing cancer.”  (other reasons were listed too.)  I am on chemo for breast cancer and chemo effects the immune system so not only am I fighting cancer but immune problems.  This is why I am taking it.
I cannot say if it has done anything for my health exactly since they have not done any tests but I can say that I have been taking this dosage now for a month and I have not had any issues with my digestive system. I can struggle with this when taking pills sometimes so it is always a concern for me.
These soft gels do not have any taste when I take them or after. I hate when pills leave an after taste. I was pleased this did not.  I did take this same brand at the 2,000 dosage.  Neither the 2,000 nor 3,000 have affected me negatively.
I have had no issues at all so I would recommend this product. I received this product at a discount in exchange for an honest and unbiased review.

AvoLoop - Fast peel any fruit or soft vegetable with ease. Avocado Slicer Peeler Pitter Scooper, Mango Corer, Kiwi Fruit Scoop Kitchern Tool. EZ-clean 3 in 1 vegetable peeler set.

I have to start by saying that I did not expect this product to work.  I was very pleasantly surprised!  My daughter loves kiwi and so when I saw this AvoLoop - Avocado Slicer Peeler Pitter Scooper, Mango Corer, Kiwi Fruit Scoop Kitchern Tool I figured I would try it.  The package came quickly and when I opened it I thought about the pumpkin carving kits that I never thought would work.  (The pumpkin kits looked weak and cheap but I was amazed when I tried them.)  I looked at this item and thought how does that little wire/knife saw thing cut the fruit?  But I knew that the pumpkin kits worked tremendously great so I did not give up yet on these.  My daughter saw them and got really excited since she loves her kiwis but doesn’t like peeling them.  She got a kiwi and cut it in half and tried peeling it.  It worked quite well but got stuck a bit at the stem. Later I watched the video on you-tube and saw that you need to cut the stem off the kiwi. If you want to see the video it is here:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MpAzOqVX92o The video is good to watch to help you know how to do it.  Although, my kit had 3 sizes, unlike the video.  Well as we used this more we got the hang of it until it became really slick to use.
The product is easy to hold too.  I have neuropathy from chemo and so holding and cutting with a knife is not always too easy and safe.  With these I can hold them easily and safely.  They don’t slip out of my hand.
These are dishwasher safe.  They are stainless so I don’t worry about them rusting.  If you don’t have a dishwasher they rinse off really well too.
These nicely fit in a drawer but be careful not to cut yourself digging in the drawer.
I also had never used an avocado before but had a New Years party and needed to peel one. I followed the directions I saw on the video and it worked great.  I can’t compare it to another way though since this was my first time.  It did come out really well.
Be sure that the fruit you use is ripe or the knife will resist a bit.  It will still work but not as easily.
One of my favorite uses for this is making twice baked potatoes!!  I LOVE this for it.  I love twice baked potatoes but always struggle in getting the potato out of the peel while keeping the peel in tact.  I bake the potatoes and let them cool a bit.  Then I cut them in half and take the kiwi size to cut out the potato.  I mix it up and put it back in and then it is ready.  I like to make a lot of them at a time while I have the mess so that I can freeze them for later.  This gadget made this sooooo much easier!  You have to try it!
I am sold on this product now even though I was skeptical at first.  You might be skeptical too but I recommend that you try it and you will be sold too.  I will be getting more of these to use as shower gifts. I received this product at a discount in exchange for an honest and unbiased review.

Natural Probiotics Supplement With Enzymes - Helps Relieve Gas, Digestive Bloating, Acid Reflux, Diarrhea & Heartburn - Strengthens Immune System, boosts Energy Levels

I bought the Natural Probiotics Supplement With Enzymes to help me from getting sick often.  I have been taking an probiotic for more than a year.  Some of them say to take on an empty stomach, some say with food and some say either.  This suggests taking it with food which is how I like it. I like to take mine with my noon meal.  I have other pills to take at that time so I like to do it together, Otherwise I will not remember.
These did not give me any digestive problems.  Not even from the start but I had been taking other probiotic like I said.  The pills go down easily and I did not experience any taste or after taste.  I cannot say if they totally work since it is hard to say what would have happened if I had not been taking them.
I would have no problem recommending this product to you.  I had no issues with these and really think probiotics help.  I received this product at a discount in exchange for an honest and unbiased review.

#1 Dwelling Place® Baby Car Mirror | FREE STROLLER HOOKS | Back Seat Mirror | Rear Facing Car Seat

I got the #1 Dwelling Place® Baby Car Mirror | FREE STROLLER HOOKS | Back Seat Mirror | Rear Facing Car Seat to use as part of a gift for my daughter-in-law.  These things have sure changed since I had my children.  They are so much nicer.
These now strap onto the headrest. The straps are adjustable so they will not slide around.  The straps click together with the clicky buckles.  When I put it on the headrest it was very easy and the mirror fit on there snugly.  It also came off easily when I took it off.
The mirror also comes as 2 pieces.  There is the piece that fits against the headrest and then the mirror itself.  They fit together with a ball and socket type connector.  This is how the mirror swivels so that it is in a spot to be able to see the child.  I like how this way I am able to adjust it to whether I am in the driver’s seat or the passenger seat.  I was never able to do that with my child.
The mirror is clear and thick.  I think it should last a long time and not just fall apart.
I would recommend this if you are looking for a way to allow your baby to see you from his/her rear facing carseat.  I received this product at a discount in exchange for an honest and unbiased review.

Vivree Kitchen Tongs Set - Salad & Grill Stainless Steel Serving Tongs with Silicone Tips - 9"&12" (Black)

I ordered the Vivree Kitchen Tongs Set - Salad & Grill Stainless Steel Serving Tongs with Silicone Tips - 9"&12" (Black) because I love these kinds of tongs.  I ordered these and gave my old ones to my daughter-in-law.
They are made of stainless steel and have silicone on the handles and tips.  They will not rust.  The silicone on the handles have little indents to help you hold onto them.
One of the things I really like about these tongs is that they fit in my utensil crock.  I could never have tongs in there before because either they did not fit of they would get all tangled up.  These have a lock so the ends stay together.  In order to unlock them you just hit the end on the counter and it unlocks.  To lock them again you pull the end out.  If I did not keep them in my crock I could hang them on the wall too since there is a ring on the end.
These clean up really well.  I put them in the dishwasher but if I didn’t the silicone cleans up very easily.
The tongs are easy to use.  They are not too stiff and spring apart when you aren’t pinching them.
The only thing I don’t like that much about them is the color I got but that is my own fault.  I got black so there is nothing about them that stands out.  They are very neutral though.
I would recommend these to anyone since I love them.  I received this product at a discount in exchange for an honest and unbiased review.

Zahler Vitamin D3 (Cholecalciferol) 2,000IU, An All-Natural Supplement Supporting Bone Muscle Teeth and Immune System , #1 Best Top Quality Vitamin D3 with High

When I got breast cancer and started chemo the doctor told me to begin taking Vitamin D3.  I have been taking it since which is nearly a year.  When I saw the Zahler Vitamin D3 (Cholecalciferol) 2,000IU up for review I thought I would give it a try.  I cannot say if it has done anything for my health exactly since they have not done any tests but I can say that I have been taking this now for a month and I have not had any issues with my digestive system.  I can struggle with this when taking pills sometimes so it is always a concern for me. 
These softgels do not have any taste when I take them or after. I hate when pills leave an after taste.  I was pleased this did not. 

I have had no issues at all so I would recommend this product.  I received this product at a discount in exchange for an honest and unbiased review.

Salt and Pepper Grinder Set - 2 Brushed Stainless Steel Salt Mill and Pepper Mill with Glass Bottle - Adjustable Ceramic Rotor - Best Shakers for fun Cooking by Q'SINN

I got the Salt and Pepper Grinder Set - 2 Brushed Stainless Steel Salt Mill and Pepper Mill with Glass Bottle - Adjustable Ceramic because my other one was giving out on me. I have owned many salt and pepper mills, and this set is by far the best.
 One wonderful feature is that each mill has a cap. This feature means you don't leave a bunch of pepper on the table wherever you set the pepper mill. That leaves the table looking much cleaner. I suppose some people might find it inconvenient to have to remove the cap all the time. But they could just put the cap aside and use it without the cap. 
To use it, you take the cap off, turn it upside down, and twist it to grind the pepper or salt. The grinding takes place easily and gives normally sized flecks of pepper.
The grind is adjustable like most of them are nowadays. I can change it on occasion for certain things for which I like it courser.
These are glass not plastic so I don’t worry if I bring them over to the stove. They are also stainless and are very pretty. I could use them with my good dishes without them looking too cheap.
These also clean up easily. You just wipe them off if you have finger prints of food on them.
One issue I had was that the set came with no directions and looked a bit different than the others. At first, I put the pepper in the wrong compartment, not realizing that it works upside-down. The pepper or salt goes in the big compartment, not the small one! Once you figure out how to do it, loading the mills is quite easy. They twist open, and you pour the salt or pepper right in and twist them closed. 
Unlike some mills, they do not come with salt or pepper, so be sure you buy what you need so that you can try the mills out right away when you get them.
I have been using this set for several weeks with no loss of performance,  To sum it up, I love this set! Very easy to use, clean, and convenient!
I would recommend these for yourself or for a gift. They would be great as a gift by themselves or as part of a gift basket. I received this product at a discount in exchange for an honest and unbiased review.

Crafty Croc Liquid Chalk Markers, 8 Pack Bright Neon Colored Paint Pens with Reversible Nib on Each Pen

I love Crafty Croc chalk markers.  When I ordered the Crafty Croc Liquid Chalk Markers, 8 Pack Bright Neon Colored Paint Pens with Reversible Nib on Each Pen it was because I had already fallen in love with these things.  You can use them for so many things.  I have a larger set of these and I got these so I can just leave these with the bullet tip ready so I can switch quickly and easily between the chisel and bullet tips.  All of these have a reversible tip and it isn’t hard to change them at all.  You just pull out the tip and turn it around and put it back in.  I will leave these because I find myself switching back and forth often when I do projects.
I am allergic to chalk dust so these work great and are so much nicer than regular chalk.  The lines are better and the colors are darker.  The colors are great!  They are bright and vibrant.
These write on many surfaces.  I like to use them to write on my mirrors and windows.  I can draw pictures and write notes.  I also have a blackboard I use them on.
If you have never tried chalk markers you will not be disappointed!  I recommend this set.  They are bright and easy to use.  I received this product for free in exchange for an honest and unbiased review.
