Non-Stick Silicone Baking Mat Set of 2 or Keep Your SERGER in place!! #BakingWisdom #serger #sewingtools


Ok, I may be a late bloomer on baking mats.  These are something I have just recently started using.  They are so easy to clean up and make the baking process a lot simpler (when it comes to clean up).  I do have problems keeping my girls from trying to steal them from me because they also love using them for their crafts. 

They have to get their own though because once used on their crafts they cannot be used in the kitchen.

I did find a REALLY useful side use for these ones though, so will not be using these ones for baking.

Anyone who knows me, knows that I like to sew.  One problem I have with my serger is it likes to walk across the table while I am sewing.  I have tried the non-skid mats that you can get to put under your throw rugs and granted they help, but I still find myself dragging my serger back to me.

Along comes a Genius idea!!  LOL!!  Yes, I do occasionally have one.......

This works so awesome -- no more traveling serger!!!!

Who cares if it is for baking!!  There are other uses for these.

I received 2 of these Awesome little mats in exchange for my review and opinion -- the nice thing is I have one for baking and I have one for my serger.  I will probably need to get a few more for my sewing room!!!!

Check them out for yourself here!!

Luminous C Serum by Anaiti #CSerum



I was once again given the opportunity to try an Anaiti product in exchange for my review and opinion.  I really liked their other products so was excited to do so.

This one once again met with all thumbs up.  Very refreshing on the skin and I had no negative issues from it.  

This is a very light cream that soaks in very quickly.  It left my skin feeling very soft.  The smell is very faint which I liked.  I don't care for an overbearing scented cream on my face.



This is supposed to be used twice daily after cleansing the skin.  For the most part I only did it once a day just because I was very busy.  This is a nice size bottle.  It is a full oz and has a pump dispenser on it.  It didn't shoot all over the place like a lot of the pump dispensers that I have used.

I would definitely recommend this

Here is a list of ingredients
Ingredients
Anaiti applies the latest skin care technology developments and harnesses the strength of today's most powerful, naturally derived ingredients to create serious anti-aging serums. The power of its Luminous Vitamin C Serum comes from its trio of compelling ingredients that address all the issues of mature skin. This serum's stabilized Vitamin C, a natural anti-oxidant, and Niacinamide work together to even skin tone that is discolored from age, sun damage and over-exposure. Stabilized Vitamin C fades hyper-pigmentation, while Niacinamide, or Vitamin B3, works to prevent future pigmentation. But, this potent anti-wrinkle serum goes beyond most other Vitamin C serums, expertly adding two breakthrough ingredients: Matrixyl and Renovage. Clinically proven to double the skin's production of collagen, peptide Matrixyl benefits the skin's elasticity and firmness and creates noticeable results quickly. Renovage is a cell-level workhorse, helping cells to restore their vigor, easing pigmentation, improving hydration and promoting overall healthier-looking skin tissue.

I noticed they have some special coupon codes on Amazon right now if anyone wants to give this a try

Spin Mop & Bucket System #mop


I was recently contacted and asked to try out a spin mop and bucket system in exchange for my honest review and opinion. 

I have seen these advertised, but have never used one before, so was anxious to give it a try. 

This is nice.  Very lightweight.  Easy to carry from one room to the other.  It doesn't hold so much water and cleaner that you feel like you are wasting it by changing the solution between rooms!!  This worked very well to spin the mop out so that it was not soppy wet when using on the floor.  It also got in the majority of the corners quite well.  I still had to access a couple of the tight spaces in my bathroom with the toothbrush, but for the most part this got all the tight corners even behind my toilet.  I even used it to mop out the walls of my showers -- I am sure it was not made for that - LOL!!

To clean it up I just put fresh water in it with a little bleach and spun it out a couple of times and hung it to dry.

It comes with 2 mop heads.  It came unassembled, but was very easy to put together and we were using it in no time at all. 

I highly recommend this for anyone with arthritis or carpal tunnel that has no strength to wring out a mop.  My daughter loved mopping with it and anything that initiates more mopping in my opinion is a good thing!!

Here is a little information from the company

    • *Self-wringing mop, easily spins dry with a gentle push on the handle. Spin Dry Bucket Never Struggle to Wring Out the Mop Again!
    • *The deep dehydration basket with a built-in anti-splash protector will prevent dirty water from splashing out of bucket while spinning.
    • *Swivel joints can pivot 180° and can rotate 360° makes it effortless to reach around and under furniture, corners, or other hard-to-reach places.
    • *Included are two ultra absorbent microfiber heads as an alternative option, making it easy to clean dust, hair or dirt.
    • *The Stainless steel adjustable mop handle won't rust. (It can be separated into two parts for easy storage) and features a non-slip sponge cover (not the traditional cheap plastic material from other companies) and there is a telescopic lock structure.

     
Still overworking yourself with a traditional mop? Buying this 360 Degree Spin Mop & Spin Dry Bucket from Ohuhu will make your house work quick and easy! The super absorbent microfiber head quickly and effectively cleans up dirt, dust, and other messes from marble, tile, laminate, vinyl, wood floors, windows, and other hard surfaces. It could be also used dry to dust around the house or other furniture. It is an ideal and indispensable time saver in daily life. The microfiber mop head can rotate 360 degrees allowing you to get into those hard-to-reach places with full control. The mop can slide underneath furniture and other decor because of its low-profile design.

The spin dry mechanism on the bucket makes mopping the floor less of a chore, saving your arms and back from hard physical effort and saving you time. With this Ohuhu® 360 Degree Spin Mop & Spin Dry Bucket, you can control the amount of water on the mop and not waste hours waiting for the floor to dry.

Specifications:
-Product dimensions: 18.7" x 10.8" x 9.6"
-Package dimensions: 18.9" x11" x 9.8"
-Product weight: 4.18 lbs.
-Material: Plastic + Stainless steel.

Package Includes:
-1 x Spin Dry Bucket
-1 x Mop pole handle (Can be separated into two for Easy Storage)
-1 x Mop Dish
-2 x Mop Heads

Andre Lorent Eye Cream #AndreLorent





Today I am sharing with you the Andre Lorent Crazy Beautiful Eye Cream.  This is a really nice thick cream.  It soaks in very quickly and leaves a moisturized non-greasy feeling.



The Fragrance was a little on the stronger side for an eye cream, but I surprisingly had no reactions to it.  Usually when something smells this strong I cannot use it in the eye area.  I have a very sensitive nose though so what is strong to me, may not be noticeable to others.

Directions say to apply in the morning and evening to a clean face, by gently tapping around the eyes.  Do not rub!!

Unlike the girl in the picture above just a little does go a long ways!!  LOL!!  It soaks in very quickly!!


Ingredients are as follows

Specialty ingredients: Resveratrol and SepiLift (wrinkle correcting agent). Other Ingredients: Aqua, Organic Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice, Organic Anthemis Nobilis Flower Extract, Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, Cetearyl Glucoside, Glyceryl Stearate, Cetearyl Alcohol, Glycerin, Resveratrol, Dipalmitoyl Hydroxyproline, Butyrospermum Parkii (Shea) Butter, Xanthan Gum, Helianthus Annuus (Sunflower) Seed Oil, Simmondsia Chinensis (Jojoba) Seed Oil, Tocopherol, Caprylic Acid, Phenoxyethanol, Potassium Sorbate.


Here is a little information from the company

5 PROVEN ANTI WRINKLE INGREDIENTS:  When using this cream customers experience a significant visible reduction of crow's feet, fine lines, laugh lines and sagging skin around and under eyes. Contains these 5 proven wrinkle-fighters: SepiLift, Resveratrol, Shea Butter, Aloe Vera Leaf Juice & Jojoba Seed Oil. Eyes appear fresh and rejuvenated after use. Long term benefits are skin that is hydrated, healthy, plump and youthful in appearance.

ULTIMATE WRINKLE FIGHTING WITH SEPILIFT! Researchers found that SepiLift, the ingredient used in Andre Lorent Eye Anti-Wrinkle Cream, significantly reduces wrinkles around eyes. SepiLift does three things: (1) It firms the tissues by stimulating the contraction of collagen fibers around eyes (2) Protects skin fibers from cell breakdown caused by aging (3) It contains anti-free radical properties. Over time, SepiLift has a dramatic effect on wrinkles.

ANTIOXIDANT REPAIR WITH RESVERATROL! Our cream also includes Resveratrol! It's a powerful antioxidant found in the skin of red grapes and fights visible signs of aging. Resveratrol is one of 600 microbial compounds produced by plants to protect them from adverse conditions including UV rays. In labs, it's been shown to promote the Sirtuin "longevity" gene. SepiLift + Resveratrol is the best eye cream for wrinkles to counteract the signs of aging around your eyes.

FRESH & REJUVENATED EYES: After using our eye cream, the skin around eyes look fresh, rejuvenated, and plump. Our Eye Cream moisturizes the skin all day (and night) to hydrate the skin. Non-irritant on delicate skin. Broadway actress Alessa Neeck (Cinderella, Little House on the Prairie) calls this: "Best eye cream I've ever found."

I was sent a bottle to try in exchange for my honest review and opinion.  I really like it!!  I had no negative reactions from it!!

I noticed some coupon codes on Amazon so be sure and look them over to see if you qualify for any of them

★SEWING CLIPS★ All Purpose Craft Clips 50-Pack #sewingtools


  I was super excited when I was contacted to try out these sewing craft clips.  I have some in another brand that I really like, but you can never have too many.

What I like about these over straight pins is

You don't get the pin holes in your fabric that at least in some fabrics can start the fraying process.  I hate imperfections in my fabric and right off the bat we are creating them with straight pins.

These have seam allowance lines marked right on them that you can line the fabric up with and use as you are sewing.

The clips clip very tightly and hold well.

There are many craft ideas besides sewing that these can be used for.  My daughter makes hair clips for dolls and these work perfect for her to attach her designs to and then clip tightly in the dolls hair!!

These come in a nice plastic container with a screw on lid.  There are 50 clips in the container

A little bit of info from the company -
  • PERFECT Your Craft - Large holding capacity and built in seam allowance markings allow you to align materials ahead of time and easily create flawless seams .
  • BETTER Than Your Old Pins - Thanks to the flat bottom of these clips, you can hold your materials in place the whole time, as you sew all the way to the presser foot .
  • SAVE Your Fingers & Material - Replace your old pins and never poke your fingers or damage your materials again, you can now sew safely with these must have clips .
  • MAKES The Job Easy - The variety of bright, transparent, & vibrant colors allows you to choose the clip that will make the clips contrast, and easy to see against any material .
  • GREAT When On The Go - Comes in a convenient container with a secure screw on top so you never lose a clip and are ready to go on the fly .
I was sent these for free in exchange for trying them and giving my honest review on them.  I like them and recommend them for anyone that sews - especially if you are using fabrics that show imperfections or fray easily!

Argan Oil and Coconut Oil Pomade - Medium Hold #arganpamade


This product is a little different from anything I have tried.  I have tried hair pomades and gels.  This is advertised for texture and medium hold, and has some awesome ingredients in it!!

With the Argan Oil and the Coconut Oil combination I feel like it is very good for my hair.

A little about my hair -- very thin, fine.  If I am going out I use very little of this because it tends to (in my opinion) make it look a little greasy if I apply it up in the scalp region.




The consistency of the product is like honey -- seriously!!  If I just put it on the very ends of my hair is doesn't look greasy, but if I get it on my bangs it has a greasy or maybe "wet look" would be a more adequate word.  I am not into this look on me personally.  However, my daughter who has a very short cut uses it and it looks really good on her hair!!

The smell of this is AMAZING!!  It seriously smells good enough to eat.  That in itself makes me want to constantly use it!!!

Benefits

  • Hydrating Argan Oil produces shine, smoothness and touchable hold
  • Shapes hair without weighing hair down
  • Enriched with Moroccan Argan Oil, this fast-absorbing, deep-penetrating treatment produces a luxurious shine and silky smooth texture with enduring results
  • Alcohol, paraben and sodium chloride-free.
  • Safe for colored, straightened and chemically-treated hair
This was sent to me to try in exchange for my review and opinion.  I like it -- especially the smell!!!!!

I think there is a learning curve as to how much to apply and it seems to me like a little goes a long ways!!!  It is a 2oz. container so I think this will last awhile.

Tweez'em Stainless Steel Tweezers for Ingrown Hair #MBSplintertweeze


I received these tweezers yesterday to try in exchange for my opinion and review on their product.

These are sharp and very tight!!  I have the tweezerman tweezers and I would say these grab the hairs just as good.

They are very pointed and sharp and the tips line up nicely.

These are supposed to be great for ingrown hairs and splinters.  I don't have a lot of issues with ingrown hairs, but splinters -- I can see where these will get the job done!!!  Sure would like to have had these last week when I got glass in my foot!!!  Glad to have them now and would definitely recommend them for anyone who is in the market for a good set of tweezers!!

Green Coffee Bean Colon Detox #greencoffee

Sharing with you today is a Green Coffee Bean Extract.  According to the bottle it

Supports Fat Metabolism
Aids in Appetite Suppressant
Promotes Healthy Weight Loss

Pure All Natural Veggie Capsules by TrueSol Nutrition.

Suggested use is to take 1 capsule twice daily 30 minutes prior to eating.



The capsules are small and easy to swallow.

I can't say I noticed anything with this.  I had no adverse reactions, but didn't notice any difference with this either :(  I don't really get hungry in general anyway, so that really didn't change.  I noticed on Amazon some people said this cleaned them out and they were in the bathroom a lot with it.  This had no effect on me that way.

So, Not saying it does not work, because the Amazon reviews are really good.  I just noticed nothing one way or the other -- excepting taking a pill prior to eating.

The ingredients are good
Pure Green Coffee Bean Extract Cleanse contains 400 mg of Pure Green Coffee Bean Extract, fortified with 400 mg of our proprietary cleansing ingredients including Fennel Seed, Cascara Sagrada, Ginger Goldenseal, Pumpkin Seed, Buckthorne Root, Licorice Root, Rhubarb, Citrus Pectin, Acidophilus, Cape Aloe, Bentonite Clay, Aloe Vera, Cayenne Pepper, Senna, Oat Bran, Prune Juice, and Flax Seed Oil. 

There are 60 capsules in a bottle so this is a month's supply

I was sent this product free of charge in exchange for my honest opinion.  I wish I could give it more of a thumbs up, but I am going to have to remain neutral on this one, because I noticed nothing.

US Art Supply 19 piece Acrylic Set #usartsupply

I was excited to once again work with TCP Global and try out another one of their awesome paint crafting items.

This is a 19 piece Acrylic paint set. 

Comes with 12 Acrylic paints

This company is great to work with.  See my previous review on their canvas set (loved it too).

Here is some info direct from the company

15 Day Weight Loss Cleanse and Flush #Cleanse

I was contacted by Diamond Elite Health Products, LLC and asked if I would try their product.  The funny thing is I had actually purchased a cleanse product a few weeks before and I had paid almost $80.00 for the other product which were 2 products that had to be used in conjunction with each other.

Ok, to get down to the nitty gritty this one worked better than the product I paid $80.00 for!!!!  This one only cost $14.95!!!  WOW!! What a huge difference!! (no I am not getting paid for this post -- I am just surprised how much difference there was in the price)

According to the bottle you are supposed to take 1-2 capsules before bedtime.  I only took one, because I do not have any major issues with having problems being able to go.  The first 2 days I will be honest I was like there is NO WAY I am going to stay on this for 15 days because I was in the bathroom for most of the day!!  However by the third day it leveled off and I was still cleaning out, but not where I had to be in the bathroom for the whole day.



This stuff works!!  I am glad I only took 1 capsule and did not try 2 -- I probably would not have been able to go to sleep!!

I had no cramping or pain -- it just works - LOL!!!

Here is some information from the company

All natural 15-Day Cleanse is formulated to provide results in 12 to 24 hours. It will rid intestinal tract of excess waste, reduce bloating, can help increase energy and may provide several pounds of weight loss within a few days. It contains effective natural laxatives, fiber, herbs which help soothe the intestinal lining and Acidophilus to help promote healthy bacteria levels in the intestinal tract. While this product may not be used on a daily basis beyond the 15-day cleanse period, the 15 day cleanse process can be repeated in a few weeks.


The bottle comes with 30 capsules, so in my case I still have some left (although I am not quite done with the 15 days either!!).



I do recommend this especially for anyone that has issues with their bowels and get backed up.

I want to thank Diamond Elite for giving me the opportunity to try their product.  They sent me their product to try in exchange for my honest opinion.  I am happy to have found this because it comes out way less than the product I got a few weeks ago!!!

Cerebral Medical Fully Automatic Blood Pressure Monitor #BloodPressureMonitor

Another item that I was super excited about receiving.  Let's face it!!  I am not getting any younger - LOL!!

This is a wrist version and I like how easy it is to operate.  Attach it to your left wrist

cross your arm to your right shoulder and support your left arm with your right arm at the elbow (hope that makes sense).  It is very well illustrated in the booklet that comes with it.

See the green, yellow and red strip in the above photograph.  Once all your numbers come up one of those areas will light up letting you know if you are good to go :)  I was in the green -- YAY!!













Comes with a nice plastic case









Velcro strap allows this to fasten very easily around the wrist.  I think this is a must have in every household -- just for a little piece of mind when you are feeling under the weather!!

Here is a little bit of information I was sent by the company

The Cerebral Medical Digital Wrist Blood Pressure Monitor is a doctor tested and endorsed medical device and is useful for home, family and travel purposes. It is highly accurate and for the measurement of blood pressure and pulse.

There are 2 read outs for each measurement; the first, the higher "systolic" reading pressure, when the heart pumps and pressure in the arteries goes up, and the second, the lower "diastolic" reading is the pressure when the heart relaxes to refill with blood, the pressure then drops. There is therefore an upper and lower pressure.

A third read out, the heart rate is also recorded with this new machine. The heart rate can be fast "tachycardia" or slow "bradycardia" or even "irregular" when the heart does not beat in a regular rhythm. All these will be picked up and recorded by the Cerebral Medical wrist blood pressure monitor.

It has a large, easy to read LED display. Handles wrist size up to 13.5-21.5cm and comes with its own hygenic, compact carry case. The device is so easy to use - one button start/stop and automatic power off for battery saving.

You can continuously monitor yourself and your loved ones with this highly accurate doctor tested and endorsed monitor.

It is backed with a 2 year guarantee with full replacement for your peace of mind.

I was sent this product at a discounted rate in exchange for my honest review.  The only negative I have is I think something like this should automatically come with batteries and this did not.  So, be prepared to pick up some batteries when you purchase it.  It takes 2 AAA batteries.

Besides that I Love it!!!

Solid Brass 2-way Y Valve Garden Hose Connector #hoseconnector





Another great little gadget I was offered to review and I was super excited about it, because my faucet out front had started dripping.  So the timing was perfect!!

Super Heavy Duty.  I knew it was brass before it came, but as small as it is I never thought about it being as heavy as it is!!  It is very well made and super heavy duty!!

This is the simplest little hose connector to install.  It just screws right on.  Then it has 2 spigots to attach separate hoses to and a shut off valve for each one!

This cured our drip and I feel like it is going to last a good while.

Seems to be a high quality product and did I say heavy??  Yeah I know I already said that!!

Leven Rose Organic Jojoba Oil #JojobaOil



Another great oil to share with you.  This one is from Leven Rose.  It is 100% Organic Jojoba Oil.  It brags Healthier Hair and Softer Skin. 

I have not used it on my hair, but I can sing its praises for the skin.  My skin is very dry and my elbows get downright like sandpaper if I don't keep them moisturized.  I know ~ Gross, Right?!?!

So, I have been using 1-2 eye droppers per arm and it is making a HUGE difference!!.  I don't have to worry about chemicals seeping into my body from moisturizers because this is ORGANIC!!

  • 100% Pure
  •  100% Natural
  • Unrefined
  • Chemical Free
  • Fast Absorbing
 My skin soaks this right up!!  It does not have a smell, and if I want one I just take 1-2 drops of my perfume and rub it in with the oil and I have a LONG LASTING perfume!!

Comes with a nice glass eye dropper in an amber colored bottle



 Only 1 ingredient - 100% pure Virgin Organic Cold Pressed Jojoba Oil

I was sent this oil to try by Leven Rose at a discount in exchange for my honest review.  I love it.  I like the idea that it does not have it's own smell and I can scent it however I want.  I love that there are no chemicals and I love that my elbows do not feel like course sandpaper anymore.

Copperside Kinesio Recovery Tape #coppersidekinesiotape


I was super excited to be able to try out this kinesiology tape.  Anyone who has aching in the muscles or joints seriously needs to give this a try.  I am a dancer and I have used kinesiology tape many a times to get me through a routine!!!

I cannot give you all of the particulars on what makes this work, but I can vouch for its ability to work.  From what I understand it raises the skin and allows for more blood flow -- but like I said that is not my expertise -- I just use it!!

I used this on my mom who was having severe issues with her knees the past couple of weeks.  After a couple of hours she proudly informed my daughter that her MSM tablets were kicking in.  Then after a few moments she started laughing and said -- wait a minute!!  It isn't my MSM tablets -- I have not taken any today.  It is the kinesiology tape!!

We have used this on rotator cuffs, knees, hands and wrists (works great for carpo tunnel).

So, If you are in some pain and don't want to go through surgery!!  Check this amazing stuff out!!!

Nice grid lines on the back to help you cut for your specific needs.



If you are not familiar with wrapping you can check with your local Physical Therapist or check out you tube (this is what I did).  They have got some great tutorials with step by step instructions from the professionals!!



This stood up to 3 days of continuous wear with daily showers!!

Side Athletics sent this to me to try in exchange for my honest review -- I definitely recommend giving this a try!!
