~Review~ Wood Sully Cherry & Maple Watch by JORD

~I received this in exchange for my honest review, all opinions are 100% my own.~

First let me just start this with...we are not a watch wearing family. Neither my husband or I like new modern digital watches nor do we like to be on a time restraint. But my husband and I were both super excited to be able to get a watch from JORD. They make high quality wooden watches. My husband and I are both artists so we were just fascinated by the beautiful designs JORD has to offer. Each watch is handcrafted by an artist, designer and watch smith. Each watch is made with a beautiful sustainably sourced wood from all over the world.

We just loved the excellent quality of this watch. It's a beautiful Cherry and Maple wood. The patterns in the wood are just lovely. We chose the Sully because of the beautiful contrast of the wood colors. The blend so well but also stand out apart from the other. We spend a lot of our time outdoors hiking, and fishing and so we love how this watch blends into the beauty of the outdoors and doesn't stand out and scream HEY look at this technology. The clasp is easy to open, but stays shut while wearing it. It has a push button that is simple to open one handed. It's made from Stainless Steel which is wonderful for people with different metal allergies. It's also good because it will not rust or oxidize and is easy to keep clean. The face plate of the watch is just beautiful, its large and has easy to read numbers. The watch hands are also a large size which makes it easy to tell time and quickly.

JORD recommends the following for cleanings. Start with mixing two tablespoons each of olive oil and lemon juice. Apply a small amount to a soft cotton cloth. Wring the cloth to spread the mixture further into the material and apply to the wood using brisk strokes (this helps distribute the oil evenly). You may also apply a natural coating such as beeswax, butcher block oil, or walnut oil to the watch. Doing this on a regular basis will protect against damage and improve the durability of the wood while helping to maintain the moisture balance. This in turn prevents drying or cracking of your wood watch.

JORD sized the watch prior to it's shipment so it fits my husband perfectly. It is always recommended to take something of this quality to a reputable jeweler for repairs or a change in size. JORD also supplies a 12 month warranty to be free from defects in material or workmanship. The cost of this watch in my opinion is very good. This watch retails for $130 and I believe is worth every penny and more. It will last for years and years with good care.

I am just fascinated with this elegant JORD watch. My husband has not stopped wearing it since it's arrival and I am jealous I don't have one of my own. The craftsmanship is just unmatched in any watch either of us has ever owned previously. I have never in my life seen my husband wear a watch on a regular basis until now. If you would like to see the other wonderful quality styles JORD has to offer your can go look around their website at www.woodwatches.com

~Review~ Merinte Money Belt With RFID Passport Holder And Credit Card Scanning Protection

~I received this for my honest review, all opinions are 100% my own.~

I know traveling safely is a huge concern these days. It seems like everyday you hear about someone getting mugged or losing all of their money and credit cards. Now the new thing is electronic pickpocketing. Yes they have a device that can download all of your credit card information without even seeing your card. That is pretty scary. So when I was asked to review this Money Belt and RFID Passport Holder I knew it could be a travel lifesaver.

The belt itself is very nice. I expected like one of those old fanny packs but it's nothing like they were. This is flat and made to store your money, passports and credit cards. The front is solid and has a zippered pocket and the back that lays against your body is mesh to keep you cooler. It has three pockets total so you can hold your family or friends information along with yours. This goes right on your belt or around your waist and lays flat under your shirt or sweater. It can hold a good amount of items without feeling heavy or bulky. It has a very good, tight, flat safety clasp and I was not worried at all about it being able to be yanked off my person. It also is adjustable to almost any size. It fit all members of my family from the kids to the adults. The RFID blockers are built right into the money belt and there are spots just for your credit cards.

I think this is just a must have for any traveler. I am loaning it to my brother when he heads to Europe because he was mugged once before. He would feel much safer using this money belt that is basically invisible. You can get your own Money Belt and RFID Passport Holder on Amazon.

~Review~ Greenwald's Carpet & Fabric Stain Remover Kit

~I received this for my honest review, all opinions are 100% my own.~

Ok there is not enough good things I can say about Greenwald's Products as you can see in my last review. The Greenwald's Carpet & Fabric Stain Remover Kit was what I received next for review. Greenwald's products are super simple to make and use. They come with a large spray bottle and a plastic package with 6 refill packs. They are water soluble.

These are so simple to mix. Fill up your bottle with warm water and add one water soluble refill pack. Wait for about a minute and then shake gently. That's it and your ready to go. We inherited some sofas and they were in pretty good shape as in no rips, but really needed some clearning So my husband decided to test out the Greenwald's Carpet & Fabric Stain Remover. All he did was spray with Greenwald's Carpet & Fabric Stain Remover and let it set for a about 5-10 minutes and then lightly scrubbed. Once it dried all stains were basically gone. This product is really awesome because there is no nasty chemical smell. It has a lightscent to it and won't bother those who are sensitive or have allergies

I could seriously go on and on about Greenwald's products and these are my new favorites. We will be buying refills as soon as we run out. It's also very inexpensive. You get 6 bottle for about the cost of 2-3 bottles at the store. If your interested in trying Greenwald's Carpet & Fabric Stain Remover Kit you can buy it on Amazon.

~Review~ Snug Plug n Play Kids Headphones

I received these for my honest review, all opinions are 100% my own.~

My two year old Nikolas loves to play with our tablet and is forever stealing the older kids headphones. So I when I saw the Snug Plug n Play Kids Headphones I thought they would be perfect for him. We let him pick which one's he liked best and he chose red. That totally suits his personality.

Nikolas is rough on things, he is all boy. So I was a bit concerned about these holding up to him. I was very pleased when they arrived. They are a bright red. They only have a cord on one side, and its thick. The headphones themselves are super quality and have lasted with a month of being pounded on and tossed around. The best part is that when they older kids or I am working we can give him the tablet, turn on a game or movie and plug these in. He is occupied for awhile and can't hear what we are doing and vice versa. I really love these for him. They are a perfect young child's headphone and now he thinks he is cool because he has phones like his older brothers and sister!

You can buy your own Snug Plug n Play Kids Headphones on Amazon

~Review~ Bellemain 6 Cup Nonstick Popover Pan

~I received this for my honest review, all opinions are 100% my own.

My husband is a chef as you all know. He loves all kitchen gadgets and wants to try everything. So when I saw this Bellemain 6 Cup Nonstick Popover Pan I knew he would be thrilled to review it as he really loves to bake.

The Bellemain 6 Cup Nonstick Popover Pan is different than what I expected. Its very light weight so it's easy to carry from the oven to the table. The teflon non stick coating is wonderful for cleaning, and doesn't require you to grease the pan. This pan makes almost perfect popovers. It's also really useful for muffins, flan, pot pies, and a ton of other fun food ideas.

The wire rack on this Bellemain 6 Cup Nonstick Popover Pan makes for great storage, it can be hung or laid flat, or even on it's side. This also makes it easy to grab and flip. I would say it would be a great tool for any baker or novice cook.

~Review~ Greenwald's Citrus All Purpose Cleaner

~I received this for my honest review, all opinions are 100% my own.~

Ok there is not enough good things I can say about Greenwald's Citrus All Purpose Cleaner. I honestly thought oh another orange colored cleaner when it arrived, but I was proven wrong. It's super simple to make and use. It comes with a large spray bottle and a plastic package with 6 refill packs. They are water soluble.

This is so simple to mix. Fill up your bottle with warm water and add one water soluble refill pack. Wait for about a minute and then shake gently. Tada you have a totally miracle cleaner. We just moved into an old farmhouse and the walls were nasty and grimy. They had tons of animals and smoked. The bathroom walls were so gross and we cleaned with bleach and also Mr Clean Magic Erasers. Well they were clean, or so we thought. After this arrived in the mail my husband went on a cleaning streak. I wish I could show you a photo but no matter the lighting they won't show. All he did was spray and wipe with Greenwald's Citrus All Purpose Cleaner and our bathroom walls went from beige to a bright shiny white color. You can imagine what that started, he took it all over the house, grimy tile in the kitchen, spotless, nasty old fridge looks almost new. This stuff works and he has already informed me we will be buying more. Oh in case you wondered no there is no nasty chemical smell. It has a light citrus scent to it.

I could seriously go on and on about this product, it's my new favorite and I will be buying refills. All I can say is wow. It's also very inexpensive. You get 6 bottle for about the cost of 2-3 bottles at the store. If your interested in trying Greenwald's Citrus All Purpose Cleaner you can buy it on Amazon.

~Review~ Epica Hand Held Shower Head with Extra-Long Hose

~I received this for my honest review, all opinions are 100% my own.~

We really needed a new shower head when we moved into our new (old) farmhouse. It had a terrible shower head. So I was thrilled to try this one out. It's not overdone, just nice and simple. It has a nice sleek clean look and not overly fluffy or frilly. The cost is great at below $20.

This is so simple to install, around 10 minutes if that. It has a beautiful shine to it. The hose is much longer than most hoses and has been super useful for bathing my babies and our dog. It has three different pressure settings which is honestly all you need!

I really love the simplicity and ease of the Epica Hand Held Shower Head. It's just a good quality item at a great price. You can get your own kit on Amazon.

~~Review~~ Baby More Co. Baby Wrap Carrier

~I received this for my honest review, all opinions are 100% my own.~

I will admit I was not crazy about the thought of trying a wrap. My husband Don convinced me I was missing out and that I would love it. So I decided to try one to prove him wrong. Well Don was right and I LOVE my new Baby Wrap by Baby More Co.

I was shocked at how flexible but yet how strong and durable the wrap is. It's very long and will work well for any size woman. I tried it first with my 1 year old and oh MAN, he was light weight and so easy to carry. My back was not killing me like it does with a normal Carrier. So after that I decided to try it with my 2 year old. MAN it worked JUST as well with him and I thought he would hate it but he was thrilled and begs to be put in it.

It is very easy to use the wrap and within minutes I had it down and could do it without help with my baby. It's a very simple process. I have used it everywhere, Flea markets, the store, taking a walk. I could not hold my baby before because of the pain. Now I can carry him just about anywhere and for longer lengths of time. I wish I had known when he was an infant. This is a life saving product.

The Baby More Co. Baby Wrap is very well made, thick but not hot to wear. It is very nicely stitched and all around a wonderful product and an asset to any new moms baby shower or just as a fun gift! You can find the Baby More Co. Baby Wrap Carrier on Amazon.

~Review~ Shredded Memory Foam Pillow w/ Bamboo Cover by Xtreme Comforts

~I received this free for my honest review, all opinions are 100% my own.~

As many of you know I have a chronic pain disorder and with that if I do not sleep well I feel like garbage. The next day I also spend in bed in severe pain. The Shredded Memory Foam Pillow With Kool-Flow Micro-Vented Bamboo Cover by Xtreme Comforts is wow, just awesome. I never liked memory foam pillows they always seemed uncomfortable to me. They are stiff and hard but this pillow is the most comfortable pillow I have EVER owned. I mean ever. It conforms to you.

It's very thick, and queen sized (They make other sizes also). Even though it's super thick, it's also super soft ad your head melts in but then once you sit up the pillow plumps right back to shape. It's the coolest thing. Yes we did spend a long period of time doing that! I use it during the day while I work on the computer and it cushions my back and makes it hurt much less than normal. Much less honestly, it has made a huge difference to me personally.

This pillow stays cool all the time. No sweating at all, it never gets warm. In my opinion it is perfect for people with chronic illness, arthritis, hot flashes, etc. The bamboo case is so soft and breathable. Please run to Amazon to get one if you suffer from hating your pillow like I did. The Shredded Memory Foam Pillow w/ Bamboo Cover by Xtreme Comforts will be one of the best investments you can make in my opinion.

~Review~ Hers By Herman Bra and Panty Sets

~I received these at a discount for my honest review.~

Hers By Herman Womens Sexy Devine Deva Pushup Bra and Panty Set

I just love the Hers by Heman Sets. This set is my absolute favorite set I have from them. The bra is beautiful, and so retro looking. I love all the adorable extra features they added to make it beautiful. There is black bows going up to a thin layer of polka dotted lace, then lace on the edge. The lace is soft and not scratchy or itchy at all. The bra back is lace and then has a three hook and eye closures. The straps are adjustable and are comfortable. The bra has an underwire and a light padding.

The panties are beautiful but be warned they are NOT regular panties, they are a thong. I wish it had said that in the description. But they are beautiful just like the bra. They have lace on the sides and around the top of the back. The thong is the wide kind and while I will not wear these I have before and found that is much more comfortable than just a thin strap. These wont hurt your bottom.

The whole set is just so pretty and I just love the retro look. I ordered the blue and it looks exactly like the photo.

Hers By Herman Guenevere Pushup Bra and Bikini Set

This set is beautiful. They details on the bra and panties are just amazing. The bra is mostly lace with the color peaking out the top and underneath the super soft lace. The whole bra is soft, straps included. The back of the bra is lace with a three hook and eye sets for adjustment. The straps are also adjustable. The bra fits perfectly and feels super comfortable.

The panties are also mostly lace with the color on the top and the backside. There is a patch of lace also on the behind. Its just a peak of lace and makes a beautiful touch to the backside. The panties are also very soft but ran about 1-2 sizes too small. The bra did not, just the bottoms. I gave the panties to my daughter and she was thrilled with how pretty yet how comfortable they were.

This set is just so feminine and lovely. It is one of my favorite Hers By Herman sets.

Hers By Herman Genteel Lace Bra and Hipster Panty Set.

Now this is just a fun bra and panty set, totally sexy and sweet. The bra is so beautiful and man does it fit well. It is lace all over front and back. It has three hook and eyes and also soft comfortable adjustable straps. The lace as with all Hers By Herman sets is so soft and comfy feeling. I have never had an itchy set.

The panties are boy short style, the sides, back and some of the front are a soft, smooth mesh. The front is a see through lace with is super sexy. These fit as they should and are very comfortable. The lace on all of these is just so soft. It amazes me with every set that I buy. You can NOT beat the price for the quality of these sets. They are so inexpensive and well made.

You can buy all of these sets and more on Amazon through Hers By Herman!

~Review~ SH&SH Hairbrush

~I received this for my honest review, all opinions are 100% my own.~

You gotta admit this brush is just fun to look at. I am so glad it works on top of being fun. My son has super curly, ringlet hair and hates to have it brushed. I decided to let him play with this one first. He loved the fact that it had a mirror on the back and looked in it for awhile. The mirror is bigger than your average compact mirror and can be used for a lot of things.

The bristles are kind of jagged and all different colors. I let me son try it first and he brushed as well as he can at two. Then I brushed his hair. He did not move, flinch or cry and it seemed to feel good to him. Most brushes make him tear up. I always feel so bad, but not with this brush. It is now his favorite brush and then one he picks when it is time to brush his hair.
