Whoo! kitchen and bath day

Digital kitchen timer

 

2016-05-10 (5)

These timers are great. They’re like any other decent timer. They seem fairly well put together, and pretty durable as they survived my kids playing with them. You do need to add a battery to the big one, it doesn’t come with one. It’s handy that they are magnetic so they can hang on the fridge. If you need a timer you can hold in your hand, and see from across the room, try this one.

Memory foam bath mat

 

This is the most luxurious, comfortable bath mat I’ve ever owned. It feels so amazing under my feet-soft and smooth, and oh so cushy thanks to the memory foam. I’m planning on getting another for my other bathroom. The only issue is if you have 2 people take a shower right after each other, it’s still really wet and squishes out-it doesn’t just absorb it like a typical bath mat. No need to pick it up to let it dry though!

 

Dr. Who/Starry night mashup curtain

 

This is the worst rendition of starry night I’ve ever seen. It’s so stretched out and pixelated, you can barely tell what it looks like. It looks NOTHING like the picture they have. The Tardis is all stretched out and bloated and way at the top-this is just awful. I’m going to buy a starry night shower curtain and just paint the Tardis in. If you are a Van Gogh or Dr. Who fan, look elsewhere for your fan gear.

I returned this for a refund.

Bar none, super lighter, belly fat buster!

Bar none soap (brother to the Hose off body wash I posted earlier this week)

This soap smells SO AMAZING! I’ve got the shower gel as well-same scent. Vetiver, lime, and nutmeg essential oils give it a slightly musky spicy scent that is not too strong, and works for men or women (I know this says “men’s soap” but really?) It’s a huge bar, and lathers easily, so it will be very long lasting. It’s a well cured bar of soap. I love the natural ingredients. I usually take bentonite clay internally, and this was my first time using it externally. My skin feels fantastic (especially as soap is usually pretty drying-this isn’t)

Tobacco Pipe Lighter and Czech Tool – All in One

 

I love this lighter. It has a nice weight in your hand. It’s very solid and durable. The butane level was easy to adjust and to refill. It’s cool that it shoots the flame out of the side-quite a difference from most lighters! This looks luxurious and expensive, and comes in a nice giftable box.

Forskolin belly buster fat burner

20160411_101208

To be honest, as a gardener, this seemed weird to me-coleus being something you can ingest? Coleus as a health supplement? Hmm. So I did some research and found out that the reason I like it so much as a gardener (it roots easily and quickly from cuttings) are because it is a part of the mint family, and pretty much all mints are known to be digestive aids. It has been shown to be good for your heart, so even if you’re not losing weight, you’re strengthening your heart.

As you may have noticed by now, I have a new affinity for ayurvedic herbs, of which this is one. I have noticed an increase in belly fat lost, but that is literally the only point on my body that I have to burn fat on now. I’ll keep taking it, because it appears it’s working (I’ve had 3 kids in 6 years and had a diastasis that worsened with each one. My stomach is awful)

 

Hose off…reviews coming

Hose Off Organic 2 in 1 Body Wash With Beneficial Bentonite Clay and Essential Oils For Naturally Healthy Hair and Skin   

2016-04-18 (10)

I’ll admit, it seems pricey at first. When I received it, it is capped with a cap with a tiny, tiny hole. You give it a little squirt and that teensy, tiny amount is enough to wash my entire 5’4″ body. My husband said it takes him 2-3 but that’s plenty of suds to clean my mountain man. We live in super hippy camping country so I’m excited that this is safe to use in wilderness areas as well. Bentonite clay is never anything I’ve used externally, only consumed externally, but it seems to have helped my skin feel tighter after a shower without feeling dry. I enjoy the smell-it’s a good mix between masculine and feminine-not too flowery, not too musky, just a perfect woodsy mix.

 

Speck Samsung Galaxy S7 case

 

 

This is not a discounted purchase. This is something I bought for myself =)

This case is awesome for a klutz like me. I wish it wasn’t so expensive-it’s more than an otterbox and doesn’t protect the front as well. However, other ones are UGLY and this one is SUPER cute. I drop my phone ALL the time. I also am using a screen protector since this doesn’t protect the front. It’s better than cheap cases because it has a lip up over the front for minimal protection (beware, this will mess your screen protector up unless you have one that is safe to use with a case) it’s easy to use and seems very sturdy. You can even download matching wallpaper for your phone!

Black feather boa

When you open the package, do it outside. It’s like a black bird was ripped apart-feathers are flying everywhere. Once you shake free all the loose ones, only tiny pieces come loose, it stays together pretty well. My kids love it for dress up. The feathers are soft and silky and held together firmly. Would make a great addition to a costume.

 

Mini skateboard

I was apprehensive reading other reviews-but had no issues whatsoever with this skateboard. The deck is made of a very sturdy plastic, and the wheels are securely attached and well made. It isn’t cheap feeling at all. My 3, 5 and 7 year old were all able to use it without any issue (except for the fact that we only got 1 and they were fighting over it!) I like that the deck has grip up top because my kids like to go barefoot a lot, so they can still ride easily. It’s a great price for a mini skateboard that will give your kids hours of enjoyment.
I received this for free in exchange for my super honest give it to you straight review.
