★★★★/★★★★★

These slimmin suzie wraps are pretty nice. You get 8 packets of volcanic clay to mix up for 8 separate uses and 2 "wraps" which are just essentially ace wraps. But a heads up in advance.. You WILL want to make sure you have safety pins on hand. The ace wraps cone with the standard aluminum-esque hook things that don't really hold at all and will sometimes just snap off and go flying somewhere. I once spent 10 minutes trying to find the hook before one of my dogs did.

For these wraps, you just mix the clay with water (I used lukewarm) until it's basically a thick paste (you don't want it super runny). When you're done applying the clay you then apply the wrap for AT LEAST 45 minutes and then remove and clean up. You can put the wrap in the washing machine, but only if it's by its self.. The best way to clean it is to just hand wash it. My way of doing things is to do my wraps before I plan on getting a shower. That way I can easily do the clean up in the shower and can rinse out the wrap in there so that it's safe for when I do laundry.

You can do 1 wrap each week for 8 weeks, or you can do different body parts in a certain week. But I would NOT wrap the same body part twice within the same week, just to be safe.

Microfiber Cleaning Cloths for Polishing Stainless Steel Kitchen Appliances & Streak Free Glass 3pk

from Pro Chef Kitchen Tools

You can purchase via http://amzn.com/B00OICE9FI

★★★★★/★★★★★

You can watch my video for a more detailed review.

These microfiber cleaning cloths are pretty cool. You get 3 in a pack which is nice and they're a decent size which is handy for when you're cleaning bigger appliances. When I think of microfiber, I think of super soft and luxorious.. These are not. They've got a different feeling to them. They're "scratchy" without being scratchy, if that makes senses.

When I got these I tested them out on my stainless steel coffee mug as you can see in my video. I mainly wanted to show how it they could clean off the oil on my mug and make it shine again.. What I didn't expect was it to literally polish off the label on my mug. The mug has been washed a few times and the label has stayed put, but the cloth was able to polish it right off. Now I'm not complaining, but if it was a mug with something on it that I didn't want rubbed off, I'd be upset. But now I know for the future to be careful.

Overall I'm really impressed with these cloths and also love the hanging hooks for them.

Sunsella Stainless Steel Pastry Scraper & Chopper

★★★★/★★★★★

Okay.. So a few months ago I had always wanted a pastry scraper & went from having none to having two. The other one I have is nice, yeah, but the measurements on it are basically just written on it which will eventually just fade away after repeated use (which is what will be happening). But with this one, the measurements are actually etched into the "blade" so you don't have to worry about it fading away after repeated use.

The handle of this is pretty so you can get a good grip so be able to cut through things and also so you can use it to pick up things and carry it from one spot to another without worrying about it bending or giving away. This works great for cutting dough into sections which for anyone that's handled dough knows that it's hard to cut with a knife & just ripping it you never get a proper section torn off & if you're aiming for something that's "even", you wont get it by ripping it. This stainless steel pastry scraper will be getting A LOT of use in my kitchen.

When I got these the first thing I noticed about them was the weight. They're heavy, but not overly heavy. Then I noticed how they felt and actually looked. These are some seriously gorgeous pans. I'm usually not a fan of the color green, but the green on these is absolutely gorgeous and just helps to remind you of the "green" aspect of these pans. As for the feel of these pans.. The bottom of these are really smooth which is nice and they're also able to be used for induction cookers which is a really nice bonus. I've been wanting to get one, but I didn't have any pans for one & I knew the pans cost a fortune so I now I finally have the pans and now I can get an induction cooker.

When these pans say non-stick, they really do mean non-stick. In my video you can see me cook eggs, which are one of the things that LOVE to stick to pans. I used absolutely no oils or sprays whatsoever in my pan. I was attempting to make an omelet (keyword being attempt, lol) & during the whole process nothing really stuck & I was able to flip it over & move it around with no hassle or anything. Then when it was done I was able to easily slide it directly out of the pan with ease.

To clean these pans all you need is just a little bit of soap and water and a paper towel, or just a microfiber washcloth (which is the best thing to use for these types of pans). These pans also come with a pan protector that you put in between them so that they're not sitting on top of each other and scratching each other up. I've had other non-stick pans & they always suggested putting a paper towel in between the pans which was just a pain in the bum, so the pan protector that is included is amazing. It's also a super bright green that matches the pans, so it should be hard to lose. Lol. I see me using this pans quite often for numerous things.

I've always said that I loved Peppermint oil, but I think THIS oil has officially beat out all the different Peppermint essential oils I have tried. When I got this, I could smell it right through the box and was about to be upset because I thought it had leaked. When I opened the box I saw that it hadn't leaked or anything & it was just that this Cinnamon essential oil actually smelled THAT strong and THAT good.

I got this mainly to use for diffusing because I love using my diffuser at night to help me sleep or just to help me relax. But with how amazing this smells I've looked up other ways to use this & will be using this to make a sugar scrub and soap. I've made Peppermint sugar scrubs with my peppermint essential oils before and they've been amazing so I can only imagine how great a sugar scrub would be with this super awesome Cinnamon essential oil in it.

So I got these because I'm always getting sick (mainly thanks to my severe allergies) and I wanted to see if there was any correlation between the pH balance of my body and why I was getting sick. These say you should test your pH once a week, but I've been sick for the past month, so I figured I would test my pH every day for 7 days just to see how much it fluctuated while I was sick, and also while my temperature fluctuated. What I noticed was my pH did actually change every time my temperature changed, which wasn't good because it didn't change for the good.

I've also been using these occasionally to test my water. I live near the Ohio river and for some reason we are constantly having boil advisories for our water, or the water just looks odd at times. So these have come in handy to see if the water is fine, or if the water from store is fine. I really love the fact they come in a acrylic case with the chart inside the case but shown on the back through the case so you can compare your test trip with the chart without getting the chart dirty or losing the chart.

★★★★/★★★★★

When I saw this I was kind of worried about how "flowery" it was going to smell & was afraid it was going to agitate my allergies. When it arrived I was actually pleasantly surprised at the smell. It had a light floral smell and actually smelled pretty good. I was actually able to take the lid off the bottle & sniff it directly from the bottle with no problem.

I mainly use essential oils for diffusing and that's it. I've got too many allergies so I'm a bit leery of using them topically on a daily basis, or at least very often. Using just this in my diffuser gives off this soft floral scent which isn't overpowering.. It's actually very pleasant. If you want to blend this with other oils, the best ones to use are citrus oils. Lemon, grapefruit, orange & bergamot go GREAT with this essential oil. I really enjoy this essential oil.. A lot more than I thought I would.

Alright.. This pizza cutter is awesome! It's the perfect size & shape for cutting pizzas and is sharp enough to go through the pizza in one "roll" without having to go through it multiple times like I've had to do with other pizza cutters. This thing is a lot bigger than some of my other pizza cutters that I've owned & is definitely a lot sharper than the others that I've had. With this being stainless steel it wont rust (or it shouldn't).. It's super easy to clean & the finger guards are great. I'm very accident prone when it comes to cooking or using sharp utensils in the kitchen, so the finger guards are a really nice bonus on this considering how sharp the wheel is and how well it cuts through things. I can see me using this pizza cutter for a very long time.

So I've got a few pots and pans that have lost their rubber handles that protected your hands when you tried to pick them up after they've been sitting on the stove getting hot. Using a towel, pot holder or something similar is fine, but not really all that safe because it just doesn't feel like you can get a good grip on it & I'm always worried that I'm going to drop the pot or pan and spill whatever I'm cooking all over myself.

Now with this, it fits perfectly on most of my pots and pans handles that are missing their rubber handles so I can now finally get a good grip on them & not have that worry. It's got these little bumps on it so it's not completely smooth which makes it perfect.. If it was smooth, it would easily slide out of your hand; the little bumps ensure you can actually GRIP this thing without it sliding out of your hand. So if you have this on a heavy pot/pan (ie: cast iron), you wont have to worry so much. The heat resistant part of this is also really nice. Now, I will say this tho.. If you have the heat cranked up all the way to high for a long time, then you WILL feel the heat through it no matter what. But with your normal, average cooking, you wont.

★★★★/★★★★★

This was my first time trying any type of detox body wrap & I'm glad my first time was by using Victoria Featherlight Organic Detox Body Wrap's. In this kit you get 2 wraps (which are just simply ace wraps), 2 hooks for the ace wrap (just a note, you'll need safety pins instead because as everyone whose used an ace wrap knows, those hooks are crap), & 8 packets of the volcanic clay that you use for the "detoxing" part.

Now using these DO take some time.. This isn't something you can do in just 2 minutes. You have to put the wraps in some hot water to heat them up, wring them out, & let them cool just a bit. Then you have to mix up up the volcanic clay & apply it to whichever area you're wanting to use it on. Then you put the ace wrap around that area & use the hooks (safety pins) to secure it there for 60 minutes (45 minutes for first time users). It also recommends to play a warm and/or moist towel over top of the wrap to help it, but this isn't necessary. When I was using my wraps I was doing work around the house & it's kind of hard to have a warm towel or something laying across my stomach or wrapped around my stomach (and it'd be annoying). When you're done, just wash off the clay & toss the wrap into your washer (I typically just tossed it into the sink to soak & hand washed it). For an easier clean up of the clay, I made sure I did my wraps before I planned on getting a shower so that I could just wash off the area in the shower so that I wouldn't have dried clay bits fall off somewhere (it can happen).

My skin felt amazing after using the wraps & I could tell there was a difference in my stomach size & it did help reduce my stretchmarks. I had before and after pictures but accidentally deleted everything before I could do my review, which is a shame because I was thoroughly pleased with my results. My only complaint was how time consuming it was to do.

I can honestly say I didn't get these for their possible "intended" purpose. LOL. When I showed a few of my friends these they told me that I don't snowboard, ski, or four wheel or anything so why would I even need something like these?

I've always wanted something like this or similar. I've always lived in areas that have bad winters & it gets REALLY cold. I hate wrapped a scarf around my face because then I cant breath & then my hair gets tangled & knotted (my hair is near my bum). So with these I can just pull it down around my neck & pull my hair out of them so my hair doesn't get tangled. These keep my neck totally warm just like a scarf without all the extra bulk & then I pull up the "skull" part over my face & it keeps 98% of my face completely warm. It's also made of a super breathable material so you don't feel like you're going to suffocate or anything. I wore one outside when it was about 3 degrees with a real feel of -15 degrees and my face didn't feel like it was going to freeze off. Highly impressed.

★★★★★/★★★★★

Aside from Bergamot, Peppermint essential oil is one of my favorite oils out there. Not only does it smell absolutely fantastic in a diffuser, body butter, body scrub, etc.. But it can also help relieve headaches, nausea, indigestion & pain relief. My main use is for headaches. I've been having some seriously massive migraines lately & have had a 4 month daily migraine so far and am in the process of waiting to get into a neurologist to get it checked out. Peppermint essential oil has been helping me dull the pain at night some and has been helping me to be able "calm" down some.

What I really love doing is mixing my peppermint essential oil with my cinnamon leaf essential oil. They both seem to fight over which is going to be the dominant scent and it's quite interesting and both help me relax. Since they're both fighting over dominance, I don't get used to one scent and can smell them both until I end up falling asleep which is really great.

I mainly got this because when it comes to cooking my stuff can be a little iffy. I'm great at baking but cooking? Ehhh. I'm always worried and paranoid when I cook meat and so aren't the people I'd be serving. I was gonna be hosting Thanksgiving last year and was in charge of the turkey, so this was going to be coming in handy to make sure I didn't poison anyone.

As soon as I got this and turned it on, it started to take MY temperature.. Lol. I was holding the metal tip of it & it started to try to take my temp and then I decided to hold the tip near the heater and it took the temp of that so I at least knew it worked. Then Thanksgiving came. I'm ashamed to admit how many times I stabbed my poor turkey with this thing.. But if it wasn't already dead, it definitely would have been after how many times I stabbed it with the thermometer. I didn't want it to be undercooked but definitely didn't want to overcook it because I know that's just blasphemy at Thanksgiving (especially with my family). When the thermometer showed the temp my turkey was supposed to be, I pulled it out & hoped no one got food poisoning..

..Thankfully & surprisingly, my turkey was cooked perfectly & was actually super juicy and everyone loved it. So this thermometer is definitely going to be something I'll be using in my kitchen every time I cook.

Okay.. When I first got this mug I was initially very confused. I opened up my box & there was there weird little cardboard tube that had some weird little city scene on it. Then I opened that up & my mug was inside of that. I have to say.. I absolutely LOVE this thing!!! I actually use thing EVERY single day! I have a very bad habit of making a cup of coffee sometimes & getting distracted doing something and then my coffee will get cold & be wasted. So now when I go make a "cup" of coffee, I just pour it into this mug & give it a couple good shakes to get everything mixed (gotta have my sugar & creamer) & everything stays hot for several hours so I know I wont be wasting that "cup" of coffee.

I've had coffee stay hot for at least 8hrs (that was how long I had it until I finished it). I also had some ice water KEEP it's ice for at least 5hrs (I finished my water & dumped my ice for more coffee, lol). I haven't fully tested out the times for everything because I mainly just use this for coffee, but it will keep things hot for at least the length of a normal work day, so that's a perk.

It's got a stainless steel inside so it's super easy to clean & doesn't hold any smells. I forgot to dump out my coffee one night & it got a little hot & the creamer in there curdled. Needless to say it was rank when I opened it. After rinsing it out a few times, my mug didn't stink at all. It's also definitely LEAKPROOF as long as you have the lid on PROPERLY. I can't even count how many times I knock this over or how many times my dogs do.

I've really been wanting one of these for quite some time but haven't had the chance to get one yet. I've seen numerous people raving about beauty blenders and makeup sponges and after seeing numerous makeups tutorials on YouTube, I've wanted one. I usually just used my finger to apply my foundation because I'm got really small hands and fingers, so I was able to get into the crook of my nose and everything, but it sometimes just looked "cakey" and I wasn't happy with it.

Then I got this wonderful little item. This pink little puff of amazingness is the greatest thing ever!!! I'll never use my finger or any other sponge or brush again! This uses a lot less makeup & blends in a lot better & I no longer have that "cakey" look! I'm now ready to give my contour kit another try! I first tried it out with some crappy brushes & I just looked, well, not good because I couldn't get things blended properly & ended up using my fingers to try to smooth things out. Now with this I can finally blend everything in!

I also love how you can easily clean this with just warm water and soap & then let it dry. Super easy & super awesome.

★★★★/★★★★★

This is a pretty nifty burger press, but it's definitely not one of the GREATEST out there. It does what it's supposed to do, so that's the best thing.

I actually use this to make some stuffed burgers. I put the hamburger in the bottom & smash it down so I have the perfect patty & then add what I want to the middle and then add more hamburger & press that down and VOILA.. A perfectly even & stuffed burger, if you didn't over stuff it. Lol. I've got OCD, but only towards certain things. When I'm cooking, I try to make things be perfect & get frustrated when they're not. So with this & the fact I can actually make perfectly round and even hamburgers is a great bonus in its self.

This is a PLASTIC burger press, which should be obvious. The bottom piece has 4 rubber feet to help it stay in place, which sometimes it does & sometimes it doesn't. Then you have the middle piece to help press everything down & then the handle to REALLY press it down. My ultimate complaint would be the cleaning aspect of this. Stuff gets stuck easily & it can sometimes be a pain to clean.

★★/★★★★★

When I got mine, every single one was basically all black. I know that is NOT normal for charcoal filters as I've gotten other charcoal filters before & they've never been COMPLETELY black before. I let every single one of them soak in water to try to clean them off & to see if any of the charcoal would leak out of them. When I picked up one of them, the top just seemed to disintegrate & I'm really glad I was still holding it over the bowl they were soaking in because the charcoal gunk that was inside it just went everywhere. I don't even want to know what they would have done to my clothes or my carpet, or how hard it would have been to get OUT of my clothes and/or carpet.

I strained the water out into the sink & put the 11 other filters into another bowl & squeezed them to see what would happen. 7 held up & 4 just wrung out black water, so I was leery of trying them in my dogs water fountain. I put one of the other 7 in the fountain & went about my business for the day. When I went upstairs for bed I saw that their was black.. The filter busted. I decided to just give up because it wasn't worth the hassle anymore & I wasn't risking my dogs well being.

★★★★★/★★★★★

This mop is brilliant. I initially got this to use in my dogs room to clean up their floors because I didn't want to use my other "name brand" mop to clean up in there & I didn't have very high expectations for this mop. When it arrived I was very surprised at the size of the pad & the tank. Both were twice the size of my "name brand" mop & I gave it a test in my kitchen. The sprayer shot out further and wider than my "name brand" mop ever did and the microfiber pad seemed to clean up a lot more than my "name brand" mop ever did. I had mopped my kitchen just a couple days prior and the Zwipes Microfiber Deluxe Floor mop showed that my floors were still apparently dirty, which was a shock! Another thing I enjoy about this mop is that the handle is adjustable. When I got the box it was 5ft tall & I'm 5ft tall. The mop was fully assembled in the box & was basically as tall as me, which would make mopping pretty complicated. I was able to shorten the handle so I could use it with ease.

Also, needless to say, THIS mop became my new main mop & my "name brand" mop got downgraded to being used to clean up the floor in my dogs room from now on.

★★★★★/★★★★★

This thing is amazing & I've never seen something like this before. This is perfect for when you're working or going on vacation somewhere & the hotel doesn't have a coffee pot. This fits perfectly over a cup & it'll pop up to hold a coffee filter so that you can pour in your coffee grounds or even your loose tea and then just pour in your boiling water & let it steep.

The first thing I would suggest is doing some some test runs with the cup you use the most so that you can measure out the perfect amount of water so you don't have to keep lifting up the silicone dripper. I made that mistake once & I kept spilling coffee grounds & then I once burnt myself from the steam coming.. Wasn't fun & lesson learned.

I really love the fact that this is collapsible because it's fully popped up it's quite big & would take up a bit of space in your cabinet or on a counter somewhere. When it's collapsed it takes up hardly any space & I just leave it sitting beside my coffee pot so I know where it is. It's also super easy to clean out & doesn't break easily either. I've dropped it & bent it several times & it hasn't cracked or anything, so I see this lasting me quite awhile.. Or until I end up losing it like I do most things.. Lol.
