Retinol Moisturizer For Face - Best Daily Day/ Night Cream - Natural Anti-Aging

I had never tried a product like this before but am getting more and more wrinkles.  I had the opportunity to receive this product at a discounted price in exchange for an honest and unbiased review so I did.  I was amazed!  Not right away but as time went on I was noticing changes. at first my skin just felt good.  Then I started to notice a difference in the tone of my skin.  It was more even and smoother.  Pretty soon I noticed the wrinkles around my eyes started becoming less noticeable.  They were smoothing out a bit.  I even had someone I had not seen for a while ask what I did and that I looked younger!!!!  Woot Woot!  What old (well not that old lol) lady doesn't want to look younger?  I will have to wait and see if the wrinkles on my forehead go away too.  Also, I can have trouble with products sometimes. They can make my face hot and stinging.  This did not do that for me. :)  I hope it makes you look younger too!

Premium USB Car Charger Adapter - Triple Port

Wow!  This is a great little charger!  When I received this product at a discounted price in exchange for an honest and unbiased review I thought I could use it for a back up charger.  Well, this is NOT going to be my back up charger but my main charger.  It works so much better than the one I was using.  When I travel with my son and daughter-in-law we all need to be connected and always charging.  It handled all three of our devices without any issue AND it did it faster than my other one that cost a lot more than this one does.  Here are my thoughts:

Pros:

• Feels really sturdy.  Some of these feel so cheap and you wonder if it will crack off.  Not with this one.

• Small size.  I really like how small and compact this is.  It doesn’t get in the way of anything else. I have had some that stick out and I am
always bumping it.  This one I don’t have that trouble so it doesn’t ever come out and quit charging.

• Fast charging.  I was very surprised at how fast this little thing charged.  I LOVE this feature and I did not expect it.  It comes in very handy when you will only be in the car for a little while.

• Works with all my devices.  I used it for a Kindle fire, iphone, other smart phone and a flip phone.  It worked without issue on all of them.

• There is a blue light that shows that is it charging. It is a very small light and doesn’t bother me in the dark.  It shows that it is ready to charge and that poser is going to it.

• Pair it with a long cord and you can charge in all the seats.  I have a 9 ft USB charging cord.  When I plug that into the charger it will reach to the back seat.

Cons:

• I haven’t found any except that I should buy more of them to go in all our vehicles.

I love this thing!

Innovo Forehead and Ear Thermometer.

I have never had a thermometer other than the oral kind.  Now, I have taken my temp so many times this year in my bout with cancer that I could go through life never doing it again but of course that will not be possible.  Lol  So this is my first experience with one like the Innovo Forehead and Ear Thermometer.  I found I really like it!  I wish I had had one of these long ago.  These are my thoughts on this thermometer:

Pros:

• For starters I LOVE that the batteries are included.  I just had to pull out the plastic thing that makes it not turn on in shipping.

• There is a quick start guide so you don’t have to dig through all the instructions before you start.

• This is not just for infants and children.  Anyone can use it and I do.  Although keep in mind that the ear temp is not recommended for anyone under the age of one but that was not a problem for me.

• This really doesn’t matter to me but for some people it will.  You can measure in either Fahrenheit or Celsius.  I have friends that the mom
is from Canada and the father is from US.  They are each used to the different units.

• It has an Auto shut-off.  This is VERY valuable to me because when I am dealing with a sick grandchild, I will not be thinking about turning it off.

• It is great that you don’t have to wake up a child to take their temp.  My 3 year old grandson was over and he was not feeling well and was sleeping.  I needed to take his temp so I knew he was ok.  I did NOT want to wake him and so I took it on his head.  It worked great!  First I stroked his head a bit and then did the thermometer.  He never knew.

• Also, the head option is nice for when my grandkids have an ear ache and scream when you touch their ears.  They won’t keep the thermometer in the mouth and they hurt when you touch the ear so the head is perfect!

• When you take the temp and they don’t have much fever, the display is green.  If they have a temp above 99.5 the display is red and it beeps.

• It keeps in memory the last 20 readings.  It also has a face or an ear on the display with each to tell you what method you used to take the temp.

Cons:

• The thermometer is now waterproof.  Not a huge deal but would be nice for cleaning off the germs.

• You have to keep the sensor really clean or the readings are not accurate.

• It doesn’t work very well to take your own temp.  At least as far as I have found it doesn’t beep when you get to the right temp and you can’t watch the temps when it is on your head.

Like I said before, I really like this thermometer.  It is easy to use and I love the 2 options.  I would recommend this to anyone.  Remember it is not only for children!  :)  I received this product at a discounted price in exchange for an honest and unbiased review.  You can find the item here:  http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00OY7UY60?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00

Calily(tm) Premium Aromatherapy Essential Oil Basic Starters Gift Set

The Calily(tm) Premium Aromatherapy Essential Oil Basic Starters Gift Set is a nice way to start and try out some new essential oils. I have not used essential oils for long but have used some and really like them. The Calily ones are very comparable to the very expensive ones I have used.

Pros:

* They come sealed in a beautiful gift box. There is plastic around the box which makes can give you confidence that no liquid will get in or out of the box in shipping. It is a nice chocolate brown box with a tan paper wrapped around it which makes it look fancy. You need to cut the tan paper to open the box.

* They are 100% pure. You don't need to worry about paying for fillers.

* The bottles are a nice size. Each is 10 oz. so you can get a lot of uses out of each one.

* The bottles are a dark amber so the light does not get to them and they stay fresh.

* The bottles are sealed with the plastic ring that is attached to the cap kind of like a soda/pop bottle or water bottle.

* The droppers on the bottle (see the picture) are very easy to control. I hate when you try to get a drop and gets many drops. You will not have that with these.

* These are the oils that are included with this set. Bergamot (Citrus bergamia), Spearmint (Mentha spicata), Lemon (Citrus limon), Tea Tree (Melaleuca alternifolia), Patchouli (Pogostemon cablin), Grapefruit (Citrus paradisi), Peppermint (Mentha piperita), Clary Sage (Salvia sclarea), Cinnamon Leaf (Cinnamomum zeylanicum), Eucalyptus (Eucalyptus Globules), Sweet Orange (Citrus sinensis), Lavender (Lavandula angustifolia), Lime (Citrus aurantifolia) , Rosemary (Rosmarinus officinalis).

* Here is the guide that I use to figure out what each one helps with. http://www.spaindex.com/guide-to-essential-oils/

Cons:

* The bottles are quite tight in the box so be careful when you try to get them out. You don't want to break one.

* They are not suggested to be used internally.

Uses:

* Before I knew about essential oils I used to use a cotton ball and put PineSol on it and hide it so my husband would think that I had cleaned. (shh don't tell lol) Now I use different oils to make it smell fresh and clean.

* I take a clean washcloth and put a few drops of something fresh like orange or lavender oil on it. Toss it in the dryer with your clothes and you an smell them on your clothes a long time.

* I have added some to lotion that has no scent.

* I diffuse it in my Calily cool mist diffuser.

* Some people use them as massage oils. I have not tried that yet.

This is a very nice set. It would make a fabulous gift. I hope you find it as nice as I do. I received this product for free in exchange for my honest and unbiased review.

Large Blue cmsHome(R) Silicone Suction Lid for 13"x9" Pan Premium Vacuum Lid Non-toxic Non-stick

The Large Blue cmsHome(R) Silicone Suction Lid for 13"x9" Pan Premium Vacuum Lid Non-toxic Non-stick is a nice product.

Pros:

* Saves money because you don't need as much plastic wrap of aluminum foil. This woks as well as or better than foil.

* You can use this in the oven, stovetop, microwave oven, refrigerator, and the freezer. Just keep it away from a flame.

* It is very easy to use. Just set it on the pan to seal. Then lift of the corner to remove.

* In the fridge it keeps odors out of your food better than plastic wrap does. It makes a seal on your pan that keeps the odors out.

* It is dishwasher safe. This is important to me since I hate handwashing. If you want it washes up nicely in the sink too.

* I have not had it stain at all.


* You can roll it up to store it and it goes right back to the shape it came in.

* You can use it with temperatures up to 480 degrees. At least that is what it says.

* They are BPA free.

Cons:

* You need to keep the lid away from a flame so if you have a gas stove you need to be careful.

Over all it is a great product. I love the 9x13 size since my husband never puts the lid back onto the cake or brownie pans so they dry up and get wasted. This lid is something he will use. I received this product for free in exchange for an honest and unbiased review.

Modern Utensils Camping Lantern - Ultra Bright Lightweight 30 LED Lantern Best for Camping, Backpacking, Hurricane Outages, and Emergencies - No More Dangerous Gas Lanterns. Lighten up Your Camp Gear!

This is a warning that when you open this you will think you made a big mistake. It is small and looks like a little kid's toy. But then when you put batteries in it and turn it on, you will be shocked! It is brighter than you would ever think would come out of that little thing. I love it!

Pros:

* It is small. When it is closed it is about the height of a pop/soda can. It is a little bigger around though. When I go camping there is not a lot of room for extras so this is the perfect size.

* It shines the light all around unlike a flashlight. If you hang it from the top of a tent or set it on the floor of the tent, it will give you plenty of light.

* It is easy to turn on and off. There is not a switch, you just pull the top up and it goes on. I like this since I hate feeling for a switch in the dark.

* It is very bright. One of the nice things is that if you don't want it to be quite so bright you can close the top down a little and it will not be as bright. All the lights are still shining but some are hidden inside the lantern so it shows less brightly.

* It is lightweight, or at least I think it is. My 2 year old grandchild could carry it around easily.

* The wire handles fold up to hold onto for carrying or for hanging from a branch of hook. Then they fold down for storage.

* It stays cool to the touch. As bright as it was I thought it would get hot after a while. I left it on for an hour and it was not hot at all.

* It takes batteries and the battery compartment is easy to get at. You do not need a screwdriver to replace the batteries. All you have to do is unscrew the bottom and replace the batteries.

Con:

* The 3 AA batteries are not included.

This is a really great little lantern. Do not let its size fool you! I wish I had more of them. I received a discount in exchange for an honest review and these are my honest thoughts.

Extra-Large Silicone Tray, 2" Slow Melting Ice Cubes By Acuisina - 2 Pack, for Portion Control, Broth Cubes, Wine, Pesto, Baby Food, Ice Pop, Frozen Yogurt, Soap, Chocolate or Cake Mold. Bonus Recipes

This Extra-Large Silicone Tray is much nicer than I expected!

Pros:

* My experience with silicone products is that they are usually flimsy. This one is not! It is sturdy and holds up well. You do not want whatever you are freezing to be all over the floor because it was flimsy.

* You do not need to spray these. The frozen product comes right out when you twist it slightly and then push the bottom of the square.

* The frozen product comes out in one piece. The ice is not all cracked like a traditional ice cube tray.

* They come in a 2 pack and stack nicely in the freezer. This is important to me since I don't have that much freezer space to have them sit side by side.

* Each square hold ½ cup and is a 2" cube. Because of the size they melt slower than a regular ice cube.

* They are BPA free.

* I have not found the silicone to stain at all even after freezing pizza sauce in it.

* They are dishwasher safe. I hate hand washing so I love that part!

* You can use it to freeze lots of different things. I have frozen pizza sauce. I use 1 cup for my pizza so 2 squares are perfect. I have also frozen other leftover sauces, yogurt and orange juice for smoothies, chicken stock to put in potatoes, mashed potatoes (they bake really well and it looks fancy in the cube), and leftover coffee for iced coffee. I also used the mold for jello and I put leftover chocolate in it to save for later.

Cons:

* They don't stack together inside each other when not in use.

I find these to be a great product. I would recommend them to others and might buy some more to put in a bridal shower kitchen basket. I got this product for a discount for my unbiased review and these are my thoughts about the product.
