SunGrow Air Plant Fertilizer for Bromeliads

I have to admit, when I purchased this plant fertilizer to try, I thought it was for plants that grow in soil. When it arrived boy was I wrong!

This fertilizer is made specifically for air plants -- and works just like you'd expect fertilizer to work. You add it to your plants soil but because this is for air plants you spray directly on the plant each week.

Simply take the small fertilizer bag and pour it in the spray bottle, add water and mix well. I shook it to mix it all together. This spray will last a long time. It takes absolutely no take to fertilize your plant to keep it healthy with fertilizer like this. A lot of power in small little bottle.

The SunGrow fertilizer is available on Amazon.

SunGrow Rope Ball Chew toy for Cats, Kittens and Other Pets


I want to start this review by saying my cat is extremely persnickety with toys. He always seems to like the little mice you can throw in the air and that seems to be it. No matter how many toys I buy him.

When I got this toy, I was super excited to have my cat try it out. BUT, he only likes the toys he likes and didn't give this a second glance no matter how much I tried to play with him using it.

The toy is made from heavy duty material and is really sturdy. I can see it holding up really well to animal play. It fits great in the palm of my hand and I really wish my cat used it. I just think my cat is weird. I can see a dog liking this better than my cat but I don't have a dog.

Needless to say, I live with finicky cat.

All the Fidget (figit) Spinners Review



Fidget spinners are all the rage these days...have you heard?? I've seen them spelled fidget and figit so whatever your fancy, these are so fun! I've seen so many news sources -- like Forbes for instance -- cover the science of these spinners there's no need for me to do so.

When I had the opportunity to try two different spinners out, I knew I needed to, I have to know what the rage was about. These do not disappoint. They are so fun. Simply hold the middle and push the spinner around. it will whirl around in between your fingers for a long time. They are so fun. I brought mine to work - and my co-workers and I all love to use it. These are so much fun to use, now I understand all the rage. I am going to buy more to give to all my coworkers!

UGThome 2 Pack Guitar Capo Review

Guitar Capos are great - if you don't know what a capo is it clamps on the neck of the guitar's fretboard at a particular place to play the notes in a different key. These work exactly how they should. You clamp them on the fretboard to keep your guitar in tune when playing -- they worked!

I'm not sure why these came with four heavy felt guitar picks but they were an interesting addition to my purchase.

These capos work exactly how you think and are a fantastic addition to the accessories used when playing with friends.

Poweradd Portable Charger Review

I used the Poweradd Portable charger this past week to charge my cell phone at a work conference and I have to say it was great. I really liked that is had 2 USB ports to charge multiple devices at the same time. It kept my phone charged when it was running low and I was able to charge it multiple times from one full charge of the portable charger.

This charger doesn't come fully charged so I was able to charge it while I was working during the day before the conference and used it immediately. You can't get much easier than letting it charge while you work. Overall..I love external chargers and loved the color of this one even more. It's a little on the heavy side (over 8 oz) to stick in a purse especially if you are like me your purse is heavy but it's great to put in a bag for a conference to keep your phone charged. This device worked exactly how I wanted it to.

C&C 3.5mm Audio Cable Aux Cable Review


 I was in need of a new audio cord to connect my music player to my car and this cord was exactly what I needed. While I used it to connect my music player, you can also use it to connect your phone to headphones.

This cord will work with any device with a standard 3.5mm audio jack and worked well for what I wanted it to. It's a cord and it works well, I can't wish for much more than that.

Review: The OUTAD Stainless Steel Throw Tip Darts

Playing darts is so much furn -- but we play outside in my garage and I always seem to need extra darts to practice with. When I had the chance to try these out I definitely took advantage of the opportunity. I have to say, these did not disappoint. They feel great when throwing with nice sharp points.

The set has 12 darts and 4 different flags representing the flags of the United States, Australia, Germany and the UK. Assembly is a snap..take the little plastic point protector, open the flag and slide it on the end. Easy peasy. The only thing I didn't like about these was that the description said it came with a carrying case. I did not get one. These were in a plastic zip bag inside a box. I hope they didn't count that as the carrying case because that wasn't one.

Overall I liked these darts, they worked just like I would want them to.

Review: LAGHCAT Reversible Sequin Mermaid Pillow Case

I keep seeing these mermaid pillow cases all over the place and was so excited to have the chance to try one. Now I should start this review by saying I love all things sparkle and glitter so I had a hunch I'd love this pillow case and I don't just like it -- I LOVE it. It's a bright rainbow on one side, simply run your hand along the sequin and it flips to silver. You get two different looks with one pillow. All you need is a 12x12 pillow and you are ready to go. The backside is a black polyester fabric, I've seen something similar with a fuzzy fabric on the backside and I prefer this. This is a great, fun pillow!

Review: Srasi Pan and Pot Protectors

I recently was at the mall and saw pan and pot protectors just like these and almost bought them so when I had the chance to review these I jumped at the chance. When they arrived I couldn't wait to use them to help protect and organize my pans. With limited cabinet space stacking pans is essential.

This arrived in a set of 6 -- 3 of each size so there were plenty to use for my pans as I didn't need to use a lot of them. These are so easy to use, simply place between your pans to protect them from scratching.

You can also use these to protect glassware, bakeware, dishes, bowls and much much more.

The sizes that come with this set are 15, 11 and 7 inch rounds so it will fit between any type of pan you need them to, if they are too large, you can simply cut down to size. If they get dirty, wash by hand and lay flat to dry. It doesn't get more simple than that to take care of these.

I really like these pan and pot protectors, I can see using them for much more than pots and pans, they really are versatile and a must have for kitchen storage.

The Srasi Pan and Pot Protectors are available on Amazon.

Review: AMUR Car phone holder for car vent

I recently had the chance to try the AMUR car phone mount – I had been looking for something to hold my phone so I can use my phone hands free with ease and this fit the bill. The car mount is very easy to install, just slip on the vent and slip your phone in the holder. My phone is a little over 3” wide so I had to pull the sides to slide my phone in the phone mount. It is a little difficult to hold the mount fully open when I was inserting my phone because of the grip on the phone mount.

This phone mount comes in two parts - the phone holder and the part that attaches to the car vent, which is fastened to the holder with a ball-and-socket.

The joint on this mount is a bit "sticky" feeling but not slippery.. It has a full 360 degree rotation, so you can use your phone at any angle, but takes a bit of force to turn or move.

The AMUR car phone mount is a great addition to my daily commute.

The AMUR car phone mount is available on Amazon.

Review: Whiskey Stones By Iron Stones


I have to admit, I don't normally drink whiskey on the rocks but when I had the opportunity to try these whiskey stones, I was definitely interested in giving it a try.

I am now a convert! I will say I used these drink stones in my regular drink to keep it cold and loved it since I never seem to have ice made and ready to go in my freezer.

To get started, wash the stones and let dry. I put the dry stones in my freezer for the recommended 2-3 hours and used them in my seltzer to cool it down. I had no issues. The only pointer I would give is to really use a glass that's wide at the bottom so the stones lay in a single layer and don't stack. I can how stacking the stones could potentially crack the glass or even your teeth if you aren't careful.

Once I was done using the stones in my drink, I washed them again and let them dry. They are now in my freezer ready to be used at any time.

The only thing about these stones I found funny is the box, there was a typo on it so I hope they've corrected that for anyone else that purchases these.

The Iron Stones Whiskey Stones are available on Amazon.

XY QY7 Bluetooth Headphones

I recently had the chance to try out these XY Bluetooth headphones. I haven't had much experience with Bluetooth headphones as these are only the second pair I've tried but I really liked using these.

If you are like me, you constantly get tangled up in your earbud or headphone cords in your way because they always seem to be in your way. With these I didn't have the issue, the cord wraps around the back of your neck when using them.

They are very easy to use straight from the box - simply charge these up, follow the instructions and pair with your phone and you are ready to use. These paired quickly with my Android phone and the sound was clear and crisp.

I really like that you are able to pair two Bluetooth devices at the same time with one set of headphones. You can stream music and answers calls -- a great bonus feature.

Overall, these headsets are a win win for me. You can find the XY headphones on Amazon in white or black.

Review: Sound Intone X6 Gaming Headset


I gave the Sound Intone X gaming headset as an early Christmas gift and they were used immediately with not a single complaint. They are super easy to use, just plug in and start using. One thing I noticed is that they aren't USB plug in which I had assumed but it has a mic/headphone jack which is even better so you can use them anywhere.

I love that these have a braided wire - for some reason I think these hold up better to the constant plugging in and out than a regular cable.

On the headset are controls for volume which is a nice feature to have. Also there is a built in vibrator system to match what you are seeing in the game. These are comfortable to wear. We had no problems using them immediately.

The Sound Intone X gaming headset is available on Amazon. A great addition to all the holiday games!

INST Solar Powered Copper Wire String Lights

I'll admit -- at first I thought solar lights wouldn't work due to some past experiences I've had with solar lights not living up to their expections. I am so glad I was proven wrong. The set of over 200 LED lights spans 66 ft so it's really long. They look just like all the other twinkle LED lights on a wire but with the added bonus of them being solar -- running off natural light -- unlike battery or plug in lights. These are great for outdoor areas where you don't have a plug nearby and if you are like me when you constantly never have enough batteries and get tired of replacing them.

There are 8 light modes that are easy to set. To use, simply charge the solar panel for 6 hours and turn on. The light will turn on automatically at dusk or when it get dark enough. It will turn off automatically when it runs out of charge or gets light enough out.

If you get stuck, the instructions that come with the set are easy to read and follow.

I love lighting outside and with LED sets like this, outdoor lighting is a breeze. These lights are great.

Puptek: Squeaky Puppy Dog Chew Toy

This is such a cute little dog toy. I absolutely love that it looks like wild duck. When you squeeze the duck's belly it has a fairly loud (but not terribly annoying) squeaker, along with some crinkling. The rest of the toy appears to be a regular stuffed toy. The only thing strange about this toy is that it has a little loop that you can hook the toy to hang it up.

I brought this in for my co-workers dog who was in the office the other day and they loved playing with it. The pup loved it so much that I let my co-worker take the toy home. I loved watching the dog toss it around and have fun.

The toy is a bit on the pricey side for dog toys but with a small dog you won't really worry about them ripping this apart like a larger dog (the toy is approx 8" long). I can see this lasting for a small dog, for a larger dog, I can see them ripping it to shreds in a matter of minutes.

SMARTED Vegetable Fruit Julienne Peeler

I love adding julienne vegetables to stir fry and salads but have never had the right tool for the job – until now. This dual kitchen tool not only juliennes vegetables but peels them too. It’s great for apples, pears, potatoes, carrots, cucumbers and so much more.

I really like this peeler comes with a brush to clean out in between the peeler and julienne slicer. It also comes with S hooks for hanging in your kitchen if you need to do that.

This peels vegetables with ease on one side, flip it to the other side and you can julienne on the other. I was surprised by how quickly I made strings of carrot for a garnish. After reading up on different things to do with a julienne cutter – my most favorite is on potatoes. You can make hash browns that are so much more fresh and healthier than frozen potatoes.

Not only is this peeler ultra-sharp, but it is dishwasher safe and made of high-quality stainless steel. I did wash this by hand and had no issues doing so. Stainless steel is so easy to keep clean, just wash with soap and water and it is ready to use for next time.

I love that this is two tools in one. It’s a wonderful addition to the kitchen.

Qedertek Battery Operated Starry String Lights

It's the time of year where I absolutely love to hang lights from every window of my house -- the only real issue is of course plugs! With these timer-based battery operated starry lights, I don't have that issue.

These lights are easy to hang on Christmas trees, in windows, on mantels, around poles -- pretty much anything you want to do and add extra light. These copper wires are flexible and can easily mold to any shape you need or want. The lights are very easy to operate, simply put 3 AA batteries (not included) and turn on. What I really liked is the ability to  use a timer - you can set lights on for 6 hours and auto off for 18 hours. 

As you can see in the video, you have a number of settings on these lights, you can use the button on the battery pack or the remote to set the lights how you want them -- fast, slow, on, off, fade and much more.

Overall, I really love these lights. They are already brightening up the inside of the house. These lights say they are waterproof but we are using them inside our house because I'm afraid to put them outside -- they are so pretty. The lights are 33 ft long so they are plenty long for all your decorating needs.

The Qedertek Battery Operated Starry String Lights, 33 ft 100 LED Fairy Rope Lights with Remote Control for Indoor&Outdoor, Home, Garden, Christmas, Party, Wedding Decorations (Warm White) are available on Amazon.

Review: Green Iron Outdoor Garden Planter Hooks


If you haven't figured it out by now, we are renovating our home and doing a lot of work both inside and out. Our yard and garden is still undergoing a lot of work but this planter hook is exactly what we use to hang plants on our fence posts outside in the warmer weather.

This outdoor garden planter hook is made of powder coated iron and comes with 2 screws to hang. You can hang whatever you'd like on it -- plants, bird feeders, chimes, lanterns, flags and so much more.

It's great for hanging plants from our fence posts in the garden. Right now we are using it to hang Christmas lights! It's working exactly how I planned. This is a great hook.

Review: Wuudi Stainless Zester/Grater

This zester arrived just in time for me to use it immediately as I was planning on making homemade cranberry sauce for Thanksgiving and my recipe calls for adding a bit of orange so I used this grater to zest an orange. I have to say I've used graters before and they all pretty much work the same way -- for zesting fruit like oranges or lemons or to finely shred cheese on top of pasta.

The handle of this is soft and the metal is made of stainless steel. What I really like is that it comes with a protective cover so you can easily store it with your other utensils when not in use.

These hand graters are so much easier to use for fine grating rather than a box grater which takes a lot of effort to clean. I just threw this in my top dishwasher rack when done

SENQIAO: Starry Lights

I have had the chance to review tons of different LED lights which as the holidays get closer are so convenient to have on hand. These SENQIAO lights are fantastic! We are using them to wrap around the beams on our back porch for Christmas.

These lights are great for a few reasons:
1. Remote control to turn on and off (ready to go out of the box!)
2. They can be dimmed or made brighter depending on what you need
3. No heavy green or white wires to wrap around, they are on a copper wire so the wires practically disappear when you turn the lights on
4. There is 33 feet of lighting wire with 100 LED lights so this is really long! You can't connect string to string like regular lights but for my needs these worked great.

I mentioned above you can make the lights dim or brighter based on your desire, but you can also have the lights on all the time, flash, strobe or fade these in and out. I also like that the LEDs are energy efficient. I really liked these lights. I don't think I'll take them down after Christmas.

The SENQIAO 4 Modes 33ft/100LEDs Remote Controlled Led String Starry Lights, Warm White Waterproof Flexible Copper String Lights With UL Certified Adapter for Garden, Patio, Tree, Party, Christmas lights are available on Amazon.
