Ever Just Want a Normal Toothbrush? Me too......

I received these free for my honest and unbiased review. PrimitiveGypsy will receive a small commission if you purchase from these links.

Do you ever get tired of walking in the store for a toothbrush and then spending an hour trying to decide what kind would work the best? Don't you miss the days when all you had to think about was how hard the bristles were and maybe the color? Me too! I hate toothbrush shopping these days. I can get battery operated, plug-in, stickered, different shapes and the prices, holy moly.

These Sound Feelings toothbrushes are flat and fit all of your teeth, not just some. Many new fangled toothbrushes only hit all of some of your teeth making brushing almost pointless. Many of them are also not very gentle and can hurt you if not used properly. We have had these toothbrushes a few weeks now and I am really happy as is my family. For once I have counter space instead of a million plug-in and battery operated toothbrushes that we all hate to use but feel we need.

The Sound Feelings toothbrushes come in extra soft, soft, hard and even a version for the kids. A four pack is less than the cost of one new fangled toothbrush and if you're not sure what thickness to try, they even have a sample pack so you can try them all. You can buy Sound Feelings toothbrushes on their website HERE or from Sound Feelings on Amazon.

Don't risk messing up your gums forever, go back to the basics. Sometimes things just do not need to be fixed! My house 100% approves. Also as a note, if your kids miss those fancy train and mickey mouse toothbrushes, just buy some stickers and let them attach them. Problem solved and still much cheaper.

Healthy Summer Snack with Lebice Popsicle Molds

If you make a purchase off any link on this page Primitive Gypsy will make a small commission. I received these free for my honest and unbiased review.

We have all had those summer days...You know the ones. Mom I'm hot, mom I'm hungry, mom there is nothing good to eat. I am not a fan of processed anything and I don't buy it. But, I also don't feel well most days and am not about to make my kid's fruit pizza without passing out and not functioning the rest of the day. There has to be a better snack. My kids (and I) love ice cream and popsicles but so much of it is so bad for you. What can you do? I remember when I was a kid filling up some ice cube trays with Koolaid and toothpicks. Those lasted about two seconds and tasted disgusting.

My solution fruit and juice popsicles. If you're really feeling creative you can do fruit and yogurt bars. These popsicle molds from Lebice were perfect for curing my kid's cravings. They love fruit but after a month of summer are tired of just a plain ol' apple for a snack. We added some yogurt and caramel here and there but that's always a huge mess with two toddlers and not so easy to clean up. So after I received these, I tried some fun recipes for a refreshing summer treat for me, and for the kids. Make sure when you start that your molds are firmly attached to the tray. Let your kids help to also turn this into a fun project. They can snack while they wait.

Apple Juice Bars-

Apple Juice (Organic or hand pressed if possible. If not water it down.)

Chopped up apples or apple slivers.

Place apples in the bottom of your popsicle mold. Add the juice almost all the way to the top, leave just a smidge of room for the handle.

Freeze


Yogurt & Fruit Bars-

Vanilla Yogurt

Fruit slivers (we like strawberry and kiwi)

Pour a small amount of yogurt, then fruit, then repeat. Again fill almost to the top.

Freeze


Bananarama Fruit Smoothie Bars-

Add juice to your blender (We like cranberry)

Add bananas and pitted cherries to your blender. Blend until liquid.

Again fill almost to the top of your mold.

Freeze


Once frozen you have an awesome tasting, cold, healthy treat. Your little kids will be fascinated, and you will have provided a great homeschooling experiment. Your older children will appreciate having a cold snack on a hot day. The popsicle molds have a tray on the bottom to keep your smaller kids from losing all their popsicles, but the beauty of this snack is, not much sugar or sticky liquid so even if they do spill your not having to give them a bath and run around washing them before they put sticky hands all over your house.

The set is inexpensive and comes with a silicone funnel which was really helpful. It also comes with a cleaning brush, although it could use a slightly longer handle. This is one of the best sets I have received and is much nicer than those silicone sets, or using your ice cube tray. They also clean really easy. Do you want a set of your own? You can buy your own Lebice Popsicle Mold set on Amazon HERE.

~ Review ~ Sheepskin Car Seat Cover

If you click on any link on this page Primitive Gypsy will receive a small commission. I did receive this free for my honest and unbiased review.


This is a very nice seat cover. I only received one for my GMC Jimmy. I didn't need anything fancy but I love sheepskin seat covers. This one is pretty easy to get on and feels so soft to the touch. I am kind of disappointed that the back is a velvet like material and not all sheepskin but that's ok. I am just so glad the front is, and this makes them much more affordable than a full sheepskin cover. I would love to get a full set, but this at least covers my one totally ruined leather seat. I would buy this again and for the rest of my vehicle's seats.

You can get your own on Amazon, in other sizes and colors. Just click HERE to see all they offer.

Gather Round all your Drinking Buddies with an American Golden Oak Wood Barrel

I received this item at a discount for my honest and unbiased review. If you make a purchase from any of the links on this page, Primitive Gypsy will make a small commission.

Since I have installed a bar in my basement, I have been wanting an elegant storage piece for my aged scotch. When I got this oak barrel I knew that I had found more than I had hoped for. Just from looking at it, I could see the level of craftsmanship and pride that went into its making. And with its great little stand, I know the whole thing is going to be a conversation piece for years to come.

Upon opening the cork, I could smell the wonderful char from the inside. The coopers that made this really put some love into their work. I love how airtight this barrel is, even after soaking it for two days. This will certainly keep my scotch from turning for a good long while. The spout is perfect and doesn't even need waxing before you can use it. It really does class up my little bar.

If I could give this more than five stars, I would! This really has my friends and family talking. If you have a particular favorite liquor that needs great storage with an interesting appeal, I highly recommend this cask. I am so enamored by this barrel, that I'm buying one for my father in law for his private blend of whiskey. And of course, I'll be getting more for my own stocks.

Interested in getting one of your own? Check it out HERE on Amazon!

Get Healthy with Ultra Pure Omega 3 Fish Oil Capsules

I received this at no cost for my honest and unbiased review.

I am always on the lookout for new and better supplements to try. I have so many medical problems I couldn't even list them all. So while I do have to be careful many of the basics work just fine. I received the Ultra Pure Omega 3 Fish Oil Capsules a couple weeks ago. Your daily amount is 2250mg and three soft gel capsules. That is always so helpful for me as I have a very hard time swallowing pills, especially anything large or with a hard coating. These are a soft gel so they just slide right down. No choking or gagging necessary. The bottle comes with enough of a supply for a full forty days which is really unusual and gives you some time to re-order when a month is up.

Taking these Omega 3 Fish Oil Capsules was easy. They go down fast and don't taste bad. They are fish oil capsules though so you will have some aftertaste, just nothing up front. The best way to take these is with meals and that will also eliminate that crazy taste. This Fish Oil is chalk full of DHA and both are so good for you. They have so many healthy properties. It's wonderful for your brain, can help increase good cholesterol and not that bad kind. Also, can help you with dry eyes and maintaining your eyesight. There is a reason grandma takes Omega 3, and doesn't she always know better than we do?

I have certainly noticed a change in how I feel following using these. I have a bit more pep to my step and less fatigue. They seem to work well and I will certainly be getting them for many more months.

Now don't think taking these Ultra Pure Omega 3 Fish Oil Capsules will be a cure all. It's still very important to eat healthy and exercise. Some great tips to use with your Fish Oil are to eat your nuts and greens. Just add a small handful of unsalted nuts a day to your diet and a portion of leafy green veggies daily. Don't forget those eight glasses of water a day to stay hydrated. Following a healthy diet, and drinking your water, follow up with some daily exercise. It doesn't need to be much. Start off your morning with some light stretching and yoga, take an evening walk with your partner and get talking. Communication is also a key to being healthy. Don't forget about it!

Find them HERE on the Website!

~ Review ~ iPhone 6s Battery Pack and Portable Charger. Great Deal!

~ If you click any of the links below and make a purchase Primitive Gypsy will receive a small commission. I did receive this item at no cost for my honest and unbiased review.~

My son has an iPhone 6s and so I thought this could certainly be something he can use. These seem to constantly have to be charged and the battery never lasts quite long enough. You get in the car and a couple hours later you're seeing the warning for a low battery. Even if you're not using every app known to man. This handy dandy Battery pack and charger should add around 10 extra hours to your iPhone. My son isn't a huge talker or app playing kind of kid so he never needs this much. But, it does keep his phone on all day. No need to worry, because we can always get ahold of him.

This set includes a removable 2,900mah battery that can be swapped out on the fly or removed when not in use. It also comes with a hard snap on case. My son had no trouble getting the battery or the cover on at all. It just snapped right into place, and he was still able to use all his buttons, ports, etc. He had no complaints about that. It does make the phone bulkier and heavy, but unless you constantly leave this one (which you should not) it won't be an issue. It's something I would keep in the glove box of your car, trunk, etc. Or if you're one of those women that have a large purse, no problem! Included is a nice little bag to store it in, when not in use. It also has an LED charging indicator on the side of the phone, so you will know when it needs a new charge. It goes from four lights down to one. It can charge your phone in around 30 minutes, give or take.

It was a bit harder to get off, and he said that to him is the only downfall at all of this battery pack and charger. It does leave a small lip, which we thought was odd at first, but trust me you're glad it's there. I asked would it make him stop using it and was answered with a resounding oh heck no, this thing is awesome. So now he uses it to play games in the car, and on trips. We drive back and forth across the country often, so this is a perfect travel companion. The price, in my opinion, is a great deal and comparable to much less efficient chargers that are not as portable.

~ Coupon Deal~ intelliARMOR iPhone 6/6S intelliGLASS Review & Coupon

I received this at no cost for my honest review. If you click on any link in this blog post my friend at Anchors Away Blog will make a small commission. I will receive nothing.


Finding a good, easy to apply screen protector can be such a pain these days. Everyone has a phone, and that phone was expensive. So you want to protect that investment. The most common concern is cracking and breaking the screen. Anyone with a smart phone knows, one crack is all it takes and your phone starts to become useless. You can't take photos, the screen touch feature stops working properly, glass starts falling out in your purse or pocket, and at some point the screen just becomes useless. I have bought a number of screen protectors over the last few years and some are ok, but last year I found one that I just loved. Recently I ordered a new iPhone 6 screen cover from intelliARMOR and I love it just as much as my old one.

The intelliARMOR iPhone 6/6S intelliGLASS protector set comes with everything and I mean everything you need to keep your phone screen safe. It's not just a screen protector it's a set, making it easier to apply, and get on evenly without a ton of annoying streaks and bubbles. They do claim to help be anti radiation also. That is for sure a plus in my book. The phone protector itself is thin and totally clear. It even comes in the same colors as your phone so you can't even tell it's there. You just know it's safe. It already has cut holes for your buttons and camera, so no trying to fiddle and fix those or have a hard time using them.

The steps are so easy. First take the included cleaning wipe and clean your phone and screen completely. You need it to be good and clean to attach the screen protector.

The next step is to wipe it off with the microfiber cloth. This is also included and has their fun logo printed on it. This will also work for keeping your screen clean later, or your eyeglasses, etc.

Next is to apply the dust removal sticker to your screen. Make sure to apply some pressure anywhere it touches. This last step ensures your screen is fully clean and will take well to your new intelliARMOR screen protector. Make sure once you remove this that you DO NOT TOUCH the front of your phone. Otherwise you will need to repeat this process.

Lastly you will apply your screen. Keep your phone flat when applying and stable. Align it carefully with the edges and buttons on your phone. Don't worry if you mess up you can remove it and reapply. Once it's where it should be lightly add pressure starting to smooth from the center outwards. Use your microfiber cloth and wrap it around the little plastic board and use this to smooth out any bubbles remaining. Again from the center out.

It's a pretty simple application, and it works great. They do make them for other makes and models of phones. Like I said before I have bought other phone protectors from them in the past. If you're interested in getting a discount just use the code INTELLI20 on AMAZON for 20% off your purchase. They also have wonderful customer service if you do need some help.

~ Review ~ Rain Chain Great Gift for Mother's Day!

I received this free for my honest and unbiased review. If you purchase from the link below my friend at MommaBearsBook Blog will receive a small commission. I will receive nothing.

Ok, how can you not love these? This is just a lovely example of a rain chain. Never heard of them? Well you have no idea what you're missing. This is a simple concept. Replace your gutter downspout with the rain chain. It's simple to install. Then wait for the rain. When it rains this makes such a lovely tinkling sound when the rain hits it and goes down the chain. It rained right after we put it up and I just love listening and watching it. I can sit on my big wrap around porch and see it.

This rain chain is nice and long, and extends from the gutter almost to the ground. Mine is maybe a foot away from it. I have mine hanging over a flower bed but it works really well over a barrel or something you may use to collect rainwater. Then you can water your garden, flowers and pets. The rain chain is nice and light in weight making it not an issue to hang from your gutter. It will not cause your gutter to fall or sag. It sways in the wind and doesn't pull at your gutter.

This rain chain comes with an easy to install v section for your gutter. My husband had it up and ready to go before I had even asked. I had been wanting one of these for ages, admiring them at friends homes. I am just as thrilled with it as I thought I would be. I adore the beautiful copper patina that in no way detracts from the house or yard. It's just a lovely addition to our front porch. I will most certainly be buying more, including one for my mom for Mother's Day as she has been eyeing mine.

You can buy one of your own HERE on Amazon.

~ Review ~ Prosumer's Choice Natural Bamboo Monitor Stand Riser / Desktop Organizer

I received this free for my honest and unbiased review and received nothing else in return. If you click on these links a friend of mine MommaBearsBookBlog will make a small commission.

I seriously can not complain about this Bamboo stand at all. I don't have a desktop computer, I use a laptop but I can use it for that as well. I was using a big box before and it was not attractive at all. It's a bit different because I have to cover up one side, so I chose the phone tray since I never use one. Then I just use the side for pens, etc. This thing is very sturdy and could hold something much heavier than a small television or laptop monitor. It could hold an old style large monitor honestly. Each side has a space for your phone, ipod, pens, pencils, notes, etc. Basically for whatever you want. This thing is very nice looking and obviously well made. It sits up high enough to slide my keyboard underneath and I have a wide gaming keyboard. Or you can use it to store notepads, cards, etc underneath. I like to keep things on my desk organized so I love having more space.

I can use this on my bed also. It can sit on my lap and hold my tablet or laptop easily for short term use. All in all I LOVE this and it was the perfect stand for my desk. My daughter really wants it, but I told her no way and gave her this old plastic thing I had. Not near as awesome.

You can get one of your own at AMAZON. #ProsumersChoiceUSA
