Kuuk Potato Fry Slicer #PotatoFrySlicer

I recently had the opportunity to try out the Kuuk Potato Fry Slicer.  We love whipping up fresh baked fries, spur of the moment,  so was super excited try.

While I feel like the concept is a great one, it seriously feels like it is going to break when I use it.  It does slice them, but creaks and groans through the whole process.

It doesn't help that I tried out their chopper a few weeks ago and I loved chopping garlic with it, but it broke after the 4th use.

This one is basically made the same way, so I will be surprised if it last a real long time.

I was sent this item free of charge to try in exchange for my unbiased honest opinion.

I hope the little gadget proves me wrong and doesn't let the potato get the best of it -- I will update as time goes along.


On a positive note -- it is simple clean up!!  Hoping it outlasts the chopper!!

Ethereal Wellness 6/10ml Essential Oils Set #etherealwellness
















I was given the opportunity to try the Ethereal Wellness Essential Oil Kit at a discount, so that I could give my honest review and unbiased opinion.

These came very quickly.  My bottle of Eucalyptus had leaked, but since I had received a discount I did not contact the company in regards to that.  However, in all fairness if I had paid full price I would not have been happy and would have contacted the company for a replacement bottle.

I would not say I am an expert when it comes to essential oils, but I do use them on a daily basis in aromatherapy and also making my own cleaners.

Lavendar -- this was more of a flowery scent than the lavendar that I usually use, but I did really like it.  It was very relaxing and pleasant.  I have used Lavendar oil (not this brand, but others) for the past 25 years.  Anytime my daughter gets headaches, or fevers I mix it up and rub it on their temples and it seems to relieve it and helps them relax.


Eucalyptus -- This was nice.  Not quite as strong as the one I usually use (NOW), but very nice.  I have allergies and I use this to open up my sinuses.  I also include this in my cleaners for disinfecting the house.


Tea Tree Oil -- I have never been a big fan of the smell of tea tree oil.  However, it is a great disinfectant.  I also use on my skin if I get bug bites etc.

Lemongrass -- This one was new for me.  I have used lemon oil a lot through the years, but had never used lemongrass.  Has a nice smell to it.

Orange Oil -- This one I did not like at all and I normally love Orange Oil.  I have used various Orange Oils for the past 25 years and this is the first one that I have not liked the smell.  It did not resemble orange oil at all to me.  I had all of my family smell it and no one guessed orange oil, although 2 of them did guess that it was a citrus oil, but were both surprised when I told them it was orange oil.


Peppermint Oil -- This is another great one for the sinuses and also headaches.  In fact I like to mix the lavendar and peppermint together for headaches.

These are all marked Therapeutic Grade -- 100% Pure Essential Oil.

Very tiny bottles (I normally purchase large 4 oz)  these are all net 10 ml / .33 oz

This also came with 5 diffuser reed sticks that I have not tried out yet

Would I recommend?  I like the lavendar really well, but I would probably go with my normal lavendar in the larger bottles, because as mentioned previously I did not care for the orange oil at all, so would only be getting 5 that I actually would use.

For someone that does not have any oils this would probably make a nice starter set (except for the orange unless maybe I got a bad bottle -- who knows).
