XYZlicone Infinity Band | 8mm Black Silicone Wedding Ring

5 out of 5 Stars

I purchased this for my husband as he works with electricity & for him having a metal ring on while working can be a dangerous thing. First of all the box was really nice. Much better than others I have purchased (looking for the perfect look & comfort fit) We love the look of this one in comparison to the others, but he would prefer a more comfort fit (rounded a bit on the inside) to the standard fit. The size was spot on & it is well made

Features:

Made from flexible and toxic-free hypoallergenic silicone material

Safety for work & sports

Pros:

This is an excellent ring for anyone working in an industry where electricity is a factor. The fit is great

Cons:

 Standard fit instead of the rounded comfort fit.

In my opinion, I would defiantly recommend this product to anyone who is looking for a ring that will provide some. Especially those working in a field of electricity where a regular ring can cause an issue.  I would also like to note that I received this product at a discount in exchange for an honest and unbiased review.

Herb Scissors Best Quality - Easy Clean Multipurpose 5 Stainless Steel Blades Kitchen Shears

5 out of 5 Stars

I purchased this because I Have a good sized herb garden & spend a lot of time cooking. I have never used the 5 blade shears before & figured why not give them a try. Well now I’m asking myself why I haven’t bought these things sooner. I generally just chop my herbs & such with my chef knife. These shears made quick work of the herbs I was using for the homemade stock & soup I made last night. The shears are nice and sharp & went through everything I threw at it with ease. I’m kind of bummed that they arrived open & the cleaning comb was missing, but they were packed with a few other items Shipped by amazon prime from their warehouse. I think they just didn’t realize the brush was missing when they put it in the box so that’s not the fault of the product creator.. Just something missed in packing the box…it happens

Features:

5 Stainless Steel Blades

90 day money back guarantee

Pros:

Comfortable to use, makes working with herbs an ease, easy to clean

Cons:

Only real con I can say at this point is that the handles could be a little bigger. It fits my hand fine, but my husband has big hands & they are a bit uncomfortable for him

In my opinion, this is a set of shears for herbs. They are easy to use & go through the herbs like butter. (And in a pinch you can make great confetti with them. I would also like to note that I received this product at a discount in exchange for an honest and unbiased review.

Heat Resistant Silicone Gloves - Ideal for BBQ, Grilling, Cooking, Smoking

5 out of 5 Stars

I purchased this because I do a lot of BBQ’ing at home & while camping & while at home am a fan of my cast iron pans. These gloves ere an excellent addition to my kitchen & camp supplies. I noticed some reviewers saying that it didn’t protect them from the heat. Well I can tell you from personal experience that I did not have that problem. Check out the picture of me holding the cast iron pan.  That was right after I just finished cooking a couple nice steaks. I had no problems at all with heat transferring through them.  They are a bit bulky on my hands but no worse than an average oven mitt.  (I have small hands) however they were perfect on my husband. I love the grip on these. I need all the help I can get. Lol

Features:

FDA approved 100% BPA-free heat resistant silicone

Fantastic no slip grip

Pros:

Comfortable one size fits most heat resistant gloves, no-slip grip, easy to clean & don’t get soggy when you spill on them

Cons:

There is a bit of a rubber smell that still seems to be lingering. But I’m sure it will eventually fade

In my opinion, this is a good all-around Heat resistant glove. I would defiantly recommend it for home & especially camping. I mean I wouldn’t try to grab a log out of the fire…lol, but I would totally be confident with grabbing my cast iron Dutch oven off the fire. I would also like to note that I received this product at a discount in exchange for an honest and unbiased review.

5 out of 5 Stars

I purchased this because I’m a huge fan of exfoliating body scrubs, especially those with coffee in it & I couldn’t be more pleased. The order I received was just the perfect mix of oils, salts & coffee. Its exfoliating properties are excellent & I’m left smelling like fresh ground coffee (of course this does not help me with my coffee addiction…LOL) my skin is left feeling fresh & soft. I absolutely love this product

Features:

100% Natural & tons of antioxidants

Excellent skin exfoliation & aid in the reduction of cellulite

Pros:

This is a nice & enjoyable exfoliating scrub. Leaves skin soft & smooth, Fantastic smell & great skin conditioning qualities

Cons:

If you don’t like coffee you won’t like this. If you have sensitive skin the salt can be irritating & a sugar scrub might be a better choice

In my opinion, this is a good all-around salt scrub. I don’t know that I would recommend it for the Anti Cellulite and Stretch Mark treatment or Spider Vein Therapy for Varicose Veins. But I would defiantly recommend the product as an excellent scrub. I would also like to note that I received this product at a discount in exchange for an honest and unbiased review.

Cast Iron Skillet Cleaner Oversized 9"x9" Stainless Steel Chainmail Scrubber

5 out of 5 Stars

I purchased this to use on my cast iron. I was introduced to the chainmail scrubbers at a medieval event & knew right away I needed to get one or my own cast iron at home. I love the large design of this one and the smaller rings (maybe ¼”) make for a much more complete removal of smaller debris than the large ½” heavy duty ones I used at the event & now make. (I may have to get myself some smaller chain links & make myself some of this size too for my camp) Chainmail is the best way I have found to preserve the seasoning on a cast iron pan. I honestly will not ever use anything else

Features at a Glance:

• SUPER STURDY CONSTRUCTION. Made of a sturdy stainless steel & feels good & durable in the hand

• LOW MAINTENANCE.  Just rinse under warm water with little detergent OR Don't want to waste any time cleaning it after Heavy Duties? Just throw it in the dishwasher
• 
  
• GOOD FOR THE ENVIRONMENT. This chainmail removes even the nastiest crusted bits from your cast iron cookware without the use of soap or any other chemicals. Will last a lifetime like your cast iron

Pros:

This is an all-around necessity for any kitchen, cast iron or not. It also works great on glass or stainless steel pots. It’s rugged & great for heavy duty needs. Easy to keep clean Just rinse this puppy with some soap & water and hang to dry.. & its eco safe to boot…created with DURABLE RESTAURANT GRADE 316 stainless steel. Will not rust and will last years to come. 

Cons:

About the only down side I see is that the is not usable on nonstick coated/Teflon pans.. But if you have a good cast iron pan.. Who needs Teflon.. Well-seasoned cast iron beats even the best Teflon hands down!!

In my opinion, this Cast Iron Skillet Cleaner Oversized 9"x9" Stainless Steel Chainmail Scrubber is an excellent product. I would defiantly recommend this to anyone who is looking new cast iron cleaner.  I would also like to note that I received this product at a discount in exchange for an honest and unbiased review

Tips for using your cast iron scrubber 

Wash the skillet by hand using hot water and the chainmail mesh. 

Always avoid using the dishwasher, soap, or steel wool, as these may strip the pan's seasoning. 

 If you would like to use a cleaning agent with your scrubber, scrub the pan with a paste of coarse kosher salt and water

Beard Balm - Fragrance Free - Premium Leave-in Beard and Skin Conditioner & Softener - Best All Natural Organic Oils, Butters & Waxes for Men By The Gentlemen's Beard Hand Crafted in the USA

Beard Balm - Fragrance Free

4 out of 5 Stars

I purchased this for my husband. As for how it works. I give it 2 thumbs up… As for the “Fragrance Free” well not so much. The Balm works very well. It’s greasy at first when he puts it on but after a few min it soaked in & the beard was soft & manageable. On the other hand it is in NO WAY fragrance free. He doesn’t like the small at all & says to kind of smells almost chemically. To me it’s a herby shea butter smell (I don’t mind it at all) For those that complained that it made it to oily.. They were probably using too much. A little goes a long way with this stuff

Features at a Glance:

• Fragrance free (this does NOT live up to this claim)
• 100% Satisfaction Guaranteed – if you don’t like it money back
• 100% natural

Pros:

The beard balm works really well to condition & soften the beard. It also helps to wrangle those stray hairs giving a cleaner smother look.

Cons:.

This is in no way a fragrance free item. The smell may be subtle. But there is a definite smell to it. If you’re looking for fragrance free this is probably not your best choice. This may not be the best item for someone with oily skin already as it does have a heavy base

In my opinion I would recommend this product as far as the way it works. It defiantly is a good conditioner for dry scraggly beards. If you’re looking for fragrance free this is not your beard balm. I would also like to note that I received this product at a discount or free in exchange for an honest and unbiased review. As much as I would love to give every item a 5* review I am committed to providing honest & truthful reviews. If I don’t like something you will know it.

Quick Charger 3.0, PLESON® 18W USB Wall Charger 3.0

I purchased this to use as a secondary charging station at home (one in the bedroom & now one in the kitchen.) I am very pleased with this charger. It actually charges a little quicker than the one that came with my LG V10. Paired with a high quality charging power cord this make an excellent additional charge station. I just threw away the crappy one I had gotten from Walmart. (That made me happy)

Features at a Glance:

• 4x the charge speed of regular chargers
• Backwards compatibility makes it perfect for ALL my devices
• A full charge in less than an hour!!!!

Pros:

I really like everything about this charger. It has followed through on all its claims so far. I will update my review in the future should I have any useful information

Cons:

So far I have not noticed any issues with this charger. It seems to be a better quality than others I have purchased.

In my opinion, the Quick Charger 3.0, PLESON® 18W USB Wall Charger 3.0 is a great charger & I would recommend it highly.  I would also like to note that I received this product at a discount or free in exchange for an honest and unbiased review.

Brain Supplement FOCUS+ by Excelerol

I purchased this to try to help me focus while working. I will be honest this product is not for me. I understand that everyone reacts differently to different supplements so that is why it’s not getting a “1” star rating from me. I’m very sensitive when it come to some things. I have issues with BAD insomnia & essential tremors. For me this product made sleep almost impossible & it defiantly increases my tremors making it very difficult for me to thread a needle…lol …  I had to stop taking it after a couple days. For me the negatives far outweigh the positives. But that’s just me

Features at a Glance:

• GLUTEN -FREE, VEGAN CAPSULES
• 100% MONEY BACK SATISFACTION GUARANTEE
• CLINICALLY STUDIED INGREDIENTS 

Pros:

This is a very hard part for me, since my personal experience with it was so bad. But they do have a money back guarantee & if you contact them they are eager to help. It is possible that this would be a great supplement for some. Just not for me

Cons:

This product is defiantly is NOT for me as it seems to increase my tremors & aggravate my insomnia. Please note though that different people react differently to things. So other may have a great experience with this product. I would not recommend this product for people who suffer with extreme insomnia… but could be the perfect supplement for someone else. I would also like to note that I received this product at a discount or free in exchange for an honest and unbiased review.

ActivLife 40% Forskolin Extract for Weight Loss

5 out of 5 stars

I purchased this to try to help me with my weight loss program. So far it seems to be an okay product but I have only had it a couple days. This is the type of thing that really requires a long term trial. So far though I believe it is curbing my appetite. I have not noticed any side effects as of yet so that is a huge bonus especially with my finicky stomach. At this point I can’t complain at all. For me this is a positive addition to my diet. Obviously this is not a magic diet aid that’s going to drop pounds in days. As with any supplement you need to pair it with a good diet & workout schedule. If you’re looking for something that will just melt the fat away you’re not going to find it in any pill. If that what you want you will be disappointed.m 

Features at a Glance:

• no side affects
• helps curb appetite 

Pros:

So far so good. I don’t have any real complaints at all. As I have stated. This is not a magic weight loss pill. If you looking for that you will not be happy.. However, as an addition to a weight loss program I believe it has a positive impact & would definitely recommend it

Cons:.

As of this point I haven't really found any cons for this item, but it has only been a couple days. I will update my review to include any should they come up.

In my opinion I would recommend this product as an addition to your weight loss regimen. I would also like to note that I received this product at a discount or free in exchange for an honest and unbiased review.

Arabica Coffee Scrub From Majestic Pure

4 out of 5 stars

I purchased this Because I LOVE any natural body scrub & also make my own as well. This is a mixed review for me. I love to provide 5* ratings for items but this one just doesn’t really make the grade for me. Thus the 4* rating. Overall the item is ok & it does leave the skin smooth & soft.  Sadly, it seems like some of the oil leaked out or something as the seal was not very secure. The scrub is VERY dry for a coffee/salt/sugar scrub & the smell is lighter than I expected. This could be a result of a badly sealed batch. I was kind of expecting a fresh ground coffee smell but it was very faint so I was a little sad there. I will say however, with a few small additions to this scrub it is fantastic. I added some fresh ground espresso & some grapeseed carrier oil. It was a simple fix. & I love the scrub now. I will likely be contacting the company about the ineffective seal & dryness. I will update review if I get a response.

Features at a Glance:

• specifically formulated to actively target cellulite, stretch marks, acne & eczema
• highly moisturizing, regenerating & exfoliating oils & salts & brown sugar 

Pros:

So as far as this scrub goes, it is a decent base scrub & a fantastic scrub after a little fresh ground espresso & some grapeseed oil.  Even dry though, the scrub does make the skin feel good

Cons:

I’m sad to say that the dryness of this scrub is defiantly a negative. I’m hoping this is just a result of a badly sealed batch I will be contacting the company about this & will update my review accordingly depending on their response

In my opinion I would recommend this product but with the suggestion of adding an additional carrier oil.. I would also like to note that I received this product at a discount or free in exchange for an honest and unbiased review. As much as I would love to give every item a 5* review I am committed to providing honest & truthful reviews. If I really don’t like something you will know it.
