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.

The SunGrow Rope Ball chew toy is available on Amazon.

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.

The OUTAD 12 Packs Stainless Steel Throw Tip Darts With 4 Style Of National Flag Aluminum Shafts and Brass Barrels are available on Amazon.

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.

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!

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: 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

The Wuudi Stainless Steel Cheese Zester/Grater Yellow Handle is available on Amazon.

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.

Review: Rubber Door Stoppers

There's not much I can say about a door stop - it holds the door open, which is what it's supposed to do. What I like about these door holders is the material, they are a heavy rubber that seems to "stick" to the floor and the door holding it in place. To use, slide under your door and pull gently to hold the door in place. The door stays in place until you remove the wedge and need to close the door.

These do have a white adhesive holder that you can use to stick to hold the door stopper but I know I'll be using the door stop without it.

I like that this comes in a two pack because door so you have a backup in case you misplace one. These are great everyday door stoppers.

Premium Rubber Door Stoppers - 2 Pack Door Stop Wedge Door Gaps With Holders - LAVATO are available on Amazon.

Review: Djudas Foot Mask

I have wanted to try a foot peeling mask ever since I heard of BabyFoot from some friends of mine and the Djudas Foot Peeling Mask was exactly what I wanted at a much lower cost. I hate anything to do with pedicures (which is why you won't see a picture of my feet on here!!) but my friends rave about them. This was perfect for me to give my feet some pampering.

Directions are easy – first you soak your feet in warm water for 10-20 minutes, then put the included socks on your feet and wait for 90-120 minutes (luckily I was able to watch a movie while I was doing this). When done, rinse and wash your feet gently with soap and then wait a few days. Within the next few days (the package says peeling will start between 3-7 days for me it was around day 4 or 5) your feet will start to peel and let me tell you – it’s not pretty so wear socks!  I’m still wearing socks constantly a week later but my feet look and feel baby soft!

The Djudas foot exfoliation peeling mask contains 20 kinds of plant extracts to work. It smells a little like menthol when you open the socks. I’m so glad this came in a 2-pack so I can use these again right before summer sandal season. My feet are happy!

Djudas Foot exfoliating peel mask 2 pairs of socks is available on Amazon.

HonWally Wired Gaming Keyboard & Mouse Combo

I must first start off by saying I love anything bright, shiny and vibrantly colored which was why this keyboard and mouse set caught my eye. This is a great basic set for any use – not just for gaming. I can see how kids would be attracted to it because of the back lighting on the keyboard and the mouse which I secretly love (ok, so maybe not a secret now ha!). You can shut the lighting on the keyboard off with a touch of a button which I really liked because the lights can be distracting. They are great when you are working in the dark.

I only used it on my PC so I can’t speak to how it works for a MAC. All I had to do to get started was to plug it in my USB port, wait for the installer and I was good to go. I had no issues typing or using the mouse immediately upon plugging in.

The keyboard is very lightweight – my keyboard at the office is heavier so if you have a laptop and want to plug the keyboard in, it won’t be heavy to lug around. I used the mouse like I would a regular mouse with no issues. Overall I would say performance was great, I’ve never used it to play games with but my husband did and said it was a great basic mouse.

I think this is a great set to have for general use or casual gaming. I know lots of people who are serious gamers and have very high tech mice to play games.

HonWally Wired Gaming Keyboard & Mouse Combo Bundle with Rainbow Color Backlight is available on Amazon.

Review: Heart Shaped Spoons

Everyone needs a few decorative spoons to have on hand for when a guest stops by. These heart shaped spoons are super cute and are great for guests. This set of 2 spoons can we used for anything – dessert, coffee, rice or even eating cereal. These spoons are small (a little over 1 inch wide but 5 ½ inches tall) and work great.

The spoons are stainless steel and are dishwasher safe with a shiny polished finish. We threw them in the dishwasher and started using them immediately to stir our coffee in the morning after adding cream. These spoons are now sitting in our silverware drawer. We use them every day.

The KUWAN 5.5 inch Heart Shaped Slimline Spoons (set of 2) are available on Amazon.
