Review: Innovator High Capacity Button Battery

I hate running out of batteries, especially button batteries because they aren't sold everywhere and can be expensive. What can I say about these batteries, I put them inside a LED candle and they worked! I'm glad these come in a 10 pack so I don't have to worry about running out.

The Innovator High Capacity 3V 600mah Button Batteries are available on Amazon.

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.

The Green Iron Outdoor Garden Planter Hook is 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.

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.

Review: Cast Iron Trivet

With our new kitchen counters, trivets are so important because putting a hot plate or pan on the counter can damage your counters. I can never seem to have enough trivets around and this trivet provided exactly what I need. It looks great and protects my counters from hot plates and food.

This trivet is really heavy – and is made of solid cast iron in a vintage type design. I like that it comes with rubber feet to add a level of protection and to prevent scraping across your kitchen counter. The edges are not sharp and are rounded if that’s a concern for you. The trivet is a square and is 6.5” x 6.5” this trivet now has a permanent home on my counter next to the stove. 

The Cast Iron Trivet is available on Amazon.

Review: Water Globes

I constantly forget to water my plants and these water globes are a great solution. They are super easy to use, they remind me as the product that was As Seen on TV a while back. All you need to is fill the globe with water, stick in the dirt in your plant and it waters plants as needed. It had been so hot and dry over the summer, I used these immediately in my spider plants -- they needed every little bit of help I could give them to keep the watered during the hot and dry weather.

The bulbs add a little bit of sparkle and flair to your plants and also blend in so much you don’t even know they are there. I love these – not only are they are functional but they work great!
