Sentey Gaming Mousepad

Between business and personal use I have used many different mouse pads over the years and some were simply not worth the material they were made of and some were nice enough to get the job done. This mouse pad by Sentey is so much nicer than any of the other mouse pads I have used. I currently do much of my work from my love seat using the arm of it to hold my mouse and mouse pad. This mouse pad works awesome for this since it easily lays with the curve of the arm and is a bit larger than the mouse pad I was using before. I am very impressed with the quality of this mouse pad and will be ordering one for my desk as well. The surface of the mouse pad makes for flawless use of your mouse with no hiccups or skipping.

Foldable Kids Headphones Headset Sentey

My daughter has to take a pair of headphones with her to school for one of her computer classes and the pair she was using before were kind of large and took up a lot of space in her bag. She really loves this pair since they fold up nice and neat so they only take up half the space of the previous pair. They are also really soft on her ears and since they are adjustable they fit her perfect. I like that the cable can be completely unhooked from the headset and put in a little baggie so you do not have to wrap it around the headset or worry about it getting caught on a notebook or something else in her bag. This is a really nice quality headset that is great for a kid or adult because I use them myself when she has them at home. If you are interested in buying one for yourself or your child you can find them here: Sentey Headphones

All Times Finest Spiral Slicer Review

My daughters love cooking with me in the kitchen and we love trying new things so when we first saw a spiral slicer we thought they were really cool and would be fun to use. Well we finally got our hands on one and it is as fun as we thought it would be. You can use a spiral slicer on all kinds of veggies from potatoes to zucchini, cucumbers to carrots. I let the kids pick what we tested it out on first and of course they chose potatoes to make ribbon fries. We eat ribbon fries at the fair all the time but had never made them at home before. The spiral slicer is very easy to use but it is like a big pencil sharpener so you do have to be careful that your fingers do not poke into the wrong places or it will cut you but thankfully we did not have that happen. Our spiral slicer came in a nice little storage/gift box and has 2 little brushes for cleaning the blades so your fingers are safe and 2 protective caps to go on the ends. This really has a been a fun new tool to use in the kitchen and I look forward to using it much much more with the kids. If you would like to order one for your kitchen or to give as a gift you can do so here: All Times Finest Spiral Slicer

Life & Food Omega-3 Supreme 1400 mg Fish Oil Concentrate 180ct Review

To me it is very important to take a quality Omega-3 supplement on a daily basis because Omega-3's have so many amazing health benefits for your heart and brain as well as many other things. Life & Food has managed to produce a pharmaceutical grade Omega-3 supplement that contains 1050 mg of Omega-3 and is proudly made in the USA in a laboratory approved by the FDA, GMP, and NSF certifying facilities. The capsules are made of easy to swallow soft gelatin and are slightly smaller than most other Omega-3 and fish oil supplements that I have used in the past. And with these capsules there is no fishy after taste which is great. They also come in a very easy to open bottle so there is no fighting with a child proof aka adult proof bottle to get your Omega-3 supplement. If you would like to try these for yourself you can order them here: Life & Food Omega-3 Supreme

Lipogaine for Women Review

Over the last few years I have had a major problem with my hair thinning, every time I take a shower or brush my hair it just seems to come out in clumps. Nothing that I have tried to slow or stop the thinning has helped and doctors are pretty much useless on the matter. So when I discovered Lipogaine for Women I was excited to try it out and see if it would actually help. For me I did not notice results right away but that is common with hair products so I continued to use it twice a day and after about 3 weeks I have noticed that I do not have as much hair falling out when I brush it and a little bit of new growth so it does seem to be working. I do like that this product does not have much of a smell to it since so many hair products can have very strong and sometimes flat out horrible smells to it.

Body Merry Neck Firming and Tightening Cream

  I have often wondered why we spend so much time and effort making sure our faces look gorgeous and are wrinkle and blemish free but we do nothing special for our necks.  I mean our necks are what support our faces and people see our necks when they look at us as well so shouldn't we take good care of our necks as well? I have spent some time looking in the past for something specifically for my neck but I didn't have much luck finding what I was looking for so I was very excited when I was offered the chance to try Body Merry's neck firming and tightening cream. Since I have never used a neck cream before I don't have anything to compare it to but I am really liking this cream so far. This neck firming cream is made in the USA in an FDA registered and GMP compliant facility and Body Merry does not test their products on animals which is huge to me.  This neck cream works hard but gently to lift, firm and hydrate the skin on your neck by using powerful natural and organic ingredients. There are no added fragrances or harsh ingredients in this neck cream so you get all the good stuff and none of the bad resulting in a great quality product. After using this neck cream for awhile I have noticed the skin on my neck feeling much softer and looking much nicer. I am so happy to finally have a cream that is specifically made for use on my neck.

InstaNatural's Advanced Repair Scar Gel Review

   My daughter has a very noticeable scar on the tip of her nose where she fell on a lawn chair when she was only 3 years old and managed to hit her nose right on the spiky part that clicks when you fold the chair (sorry I have no clue what that piece is called). Anyways she fell and hit her nose on it and it cut her nose open, luckily she did not need stitches but it has left behind a scar that is noticeable. She is still at an age where she does not care about a scar on her face but I know as she gets older she will most likely so I have tried using a few different scar repair creams and gels over the years but nothing has really helped probably at least partially because I am not very strict about remembering to apply it as often as needed. I was recently offered the chance to test out InstaNatural's Advanced Repair Scar Gel to see if it would help so I figured I would give it a try.



   InstaNatural's Advanced Repair Scar Gel  is designed to soften the texture and color of scars, helping to reduce their overall appearance. It also contains ingredients to help speed the healing process and strengthen damaged skin with antioxidants. Some scar creams I have used in the past would dry out my daughters skin but InstaNatural's scar gel includes ingredients to help moisturize the area it is applied to. Also since it is on her nose she is very sensitive to any smells that the creams or gels may have but this one is virtually smell free. Even when applied to her nose and me sniffing it on the tip of my finger there really is no noticeable smell which is great. We have been using it for a short time now and I have noticed that it seems to be lightning her scar a little bit while moisturizing it and not drying it out. This scar is about 6 years old so I know it is going to take a bit longer of using it to notice major changes but so far I am very happy with this Advanced Repair Scar Gel by InstaNatural's.

   If you would like to try  InstaNatural's Advanced Repair Scar Gel for yourself you can find it at their website http://www.instanatural.com  They also have many other great products for you to check out while you are there including essential oils (which I love), many different skin care items as well as products for your body and hair.

SimPrium Silicone Heat Resistant Gloves Review & Giveaway

I love to cook for my family rather it be on the stove, the grill or in one of my crockpot's. So when I was offered the opportunity to try these cute silicone gloves in teal blue (love that color) I knew I would have no trouble putting them to the test. 

First I have to say that I love the color of them and they are covered in cute little hearts which are so adorable. I used them for removing a chicken casserole from the oven and they did a great job at protecting my hands from getting burned. So I was thinking about other things they would be great to use for and I thought about the microwave and how hot everything is when you take it out of the microwave. I do not always use something to protect my hands when removing items from the microwave even though I know I should because with traditional oven mitts you just can not get a good enough hold on a plate or tv dinner. My kids are at the age now though where they think they can do anything, including removing hot dishes form the microwave so I let them test out these gloves with my supervision of course. Even though the gloves are a bit big for my children's small hands they did a great job of protecting them from the hot surfaces and allowing them to bend their hands and fingers so they can get a safe grip on the plate. This gloves are a nice addition to the kitchen and it would be great if they made them in a smaller version for the kids to use when working in the kitchen with supervision. If you would like the chance to win a set for yourself enter the giveaway below!

Turmeric is a great natural plant for helping with pain and inflammation but it is hard to eat a diet that has enough Turmeric in it to get the full benefits of this great plant. That is why it is great that you can now find Turmeric in supplement form so you can get as much Turmeric as you feel you need. I suffer from fibromyalgia as well as a few other health problems including inflammation and I have tried so many medicines and supplements that did not help or caused more bad side effects then they did good so I quit taking them. With Turmeric Curcumin they are no bad or nasty side effects just great results! I can feel the decrease in inflammation in my body and it is really helping with my pain especially in my joints. Shwartz Bioresearch is a great company that takes pride in their products by using only the best ingredients that results in the best products free of GMO's, preservatives, fillers, additives and binders. I was asked to try this supplement in exchange for my honest review and this is one product that is now part of my daily regimen and I will be buying again. I have been very impressed with how well this Turmeric has worked and the great quality of this supplement.

NaturaliDerm Organic Facial Moisturizer

This bitter winter weather has been horrible for my skin, especially my facial skin. It seems like if I don't exfoliate 2 or 3 times a week my skin is so rough, dry and flaky putting foundation on just looks horrible. I try to use natural products as much as possible so I was very happy when I was offered the chance to try NaturaliDerm's organic facial moisturizer in exchange for my honest and unbiased review. NaturaliDerm uses only the most effective known natural ingredients from organically grown sources to make a moisturizer that will not cause itching or irritation. This moisturizers combines aloe leaf juice, shea butter, witch hazel extract and cocoa butter to hydrate you skin while shrinking pore size and protect your skin from damage. NautraliDerm also made sure no to use any parabens, artificial fragrances or colors so this is a completely safe product. The moisturizer comes in a very nice and easy to use bottle  with a small pump that prevents you from using too much at once. It has a very light natural smell to it that I only noticed when I was actually sniffing the moisturizer to try and discover what it smelled like, so it is not bothersome or even really noticeable at all. It goes on nice and smooth and is quickly absorbed by my dry skin without leaving behind any oily residue. This is a great light weight, non greasy moisturizer to wear under makeup or alone since it is so well absorbed by the skin.

3-in-1 Travel Wallet by Valhalla

My family loves to travel but there is always the danger of having your wallet or purse stolen so I usually try to carry a cross body purse. But when you are places like amusement parks it really isn't much fun carrying around a purse all day so I usually just let my husband carry his wallet and pay for everything and that way we have one less thing to keep up with. The problem with that is wallets do some times fall out of pockets or you bump into a pick pocket in a big crown and don't notice your wallet is gone till it is to late. That is where this 3-in-1 travel wallet by Valhalla comes in to save the day! You can now wear your wallet under your shirt so no one knows it is there and no one is going to be able to slide it off you without you noticing even in the busiest of crowds.

 This travel wallet is very easy to put on you just put the top loop around your neck and stick your arm threw the same hole and then unbuckle the other strap and buckle it around your waist like a belt. Both straps are easily adjustable so that it will securely and comfortable fit people of many sizes. This really is a great idea and much better than fanny packs which can be ripped off you. My husband will definitely be wearing this on our next vacation!

I get really bad headaches and peppermint oil really helps ease the pressure from them, I simple apply a bit to my temples and take a few long deep breaths from the bottle.

OZ Naturals Organic Facial Toner

   I have never really used toner regularly before, I have tried some a couple of times and did not feel they were working so under the sink they went to the beauty regimen graveyard. My skin has been dryer this winter than it ever has in the past so I was looking for something to do to help put moisture back into my skin. I do use a moisturizer but it was not helping enough on its own so when offered the chance to give this toner by OZ Naturals a try I figured I had nothing to loose but dry skin. The toner has a nice and light feel to it that makes you skin feel revitalized and fresh not oily at all which I was afraid it would be. I wash my face, use the toner and then put on the same moisturizer and I have noticed that the toner is somehow really helping my moisturizer work better than it ever has. I have also been using the toner before applying my makeup and my makeup goes on so much smoother now, when your skin is dry it is often still visible under liquid makeup but this toner helps make the makeup go on smother and since it is helping my moisturizer work better I don't have as much dry skin as I did to start with. I am sure with a bit more use of the toner combined with my moisturizer my skin will be nice and smooth again.

Fogless Shower Mirror by Cassani

Cassani Company has created a very handy fogless shower mirror that actually works! I like to use facial scrubs in the shower so my skin is nice and moist but it can be hard to make sure I am getting my whole face evenly without a mirror so I was really happy when I was asked to test this one out for Cassani Company. I had a "fogless" mirror in the past that was useless, it fogged up more than my regular mirror so I gave that one away and gave up hope of finding a mirror that actually could stay in the shower without fogging up. This mirror was very easy to install and took no time at all. I was excited to test it out and I discovered it really does stay fogless, even in the hot showers I take this mirror worked perfect and I could see everything I needed to see. It is light weight so if it were to fall it isn't going to smash my toes and it does not feel like it would shatter. I am looking forward to many years of using my new fogless mirror in the shower. The mirror also comes with a matching stainless steel hook to hang your razor on. If you are interested in purchasing your own fogless mirror you can find it here Cassani Fogless Shower Mirror

This is The Original GrillFella! that I chose to review, it is a copper colored (available in other colors as well) BBQ vegetable basket wok with divider.

Oatmeal dog shampoo by OmegaPet

  
  One of my dogs, Snoopy has very dry itchy skin and we had taken him to the vet and were told it was not a medical condition just a case of dry skin so the doctor recommended an oatmeal shampoo that he actually made and sold. I figured if the doctor thought it worked well enough to put his name on the product and charge $20 for it that it must work, right? Nope! We used it for a few weeks to try and help replenish some of the moisture in poor Snoopy's skin and we noticed no real difference. I was kindly offered the chance to try this oatmeal dog shampoo by OmegaPet's in exchange for my honest review so I figured we could give it a try but my expectations were not very high since I had been disappointed before with the doctors shampoo. 
    My first impression of this shampoo is that it comes in a very nicely labeled bottle and is very eye catching. I like that the bottle is clear so I can see just what is in it and how much is left once I have used it. This shampoo smells amazing! It smells like vanilla oatmeal and I really love the smell. Can I get this in a hand lotion for me please? Thankfully Snoopy loves baths so I did not have to fight with him to try this new shampoo on him. I think he liked the smell also and it seemed to be relaxing for him, right after he got dried off he went to take a nap. After his bath he smelled great and his coat was nice and shiny and soft. It has been almost a week since his bath now and I have noticed him itching less and he seems more relaxed, itchy skin can be stressful. I really like this shampoo, from the packaging to the smell but most importantly the fact that it actually works! I love that this shampoo is all natural so I am not using any harsh and unhealthy chemicals on my babies. I think the combination of oatmeal, aloe and lanolin really help make this a great and effective shampoo. This will be the only shampoo we use on our dogs for now on! If you are interested in trying this shampoo out on your pets you can order it here on amazon OmegaPet Oatmeal Shampoo
