Review: Canyoze 120 to 3000 Grit Sandpaper Assortment

We’ve been doing non-stop home renovations for the past two years and we always seem to misplace certain grits of sandpaper. With this assortment of sandpaper, we have what we need on hand. This assortment has a variety of grits to use and is pre-cut to the perfect size to wrap around sanding blocks. You can wet or dry sand wood or metal with this paper, it is recommended that you check what grit you use based on the material you are sanding.

This assortment is great for any workshop.

Canyoze 120 to 3000 Grit Sandpaper Assortment 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.

Review: Collapsible kitchen colanders

I am sick of the big colanders I have taking up a lot of room in my kitchen.  This set of collapsible colanders take up such little room in my kitchen cabinets and are great for small kitchens when you don’t have a lot of storage.

This package contains two strainers – 8 and 9 ½ inches in diameter. You can them for anything that needs to be strained – pasta, fruit, berries, produce and much more. I have metal colanders which means when you pour hot food in them, the handles get really hot. These are made of silicone and pop up with a push and you won’t have to worry about them getting hot.

These colanders do say they are heat resistant up to 176ºF. I used them to wash off produce and had no issues, the only thing I saw missing was that it would be great to have little feet on the bottom so the water can drain a bit more if you place it over something, otherwise these worked great.

You can find the set of collapsible kitchen colanders onAmazon.

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!

The Gardening Solutions Hydro Globes Automatic Watering Bulbs, 2 Piece Deluxe Set is available on Amazon.

Review: Acko Crimping Tool & Terminals Assortment Set

We are doing a lot of renovations to our home and this crimper/stripper for some wiring was a welcome addition to our toolbox so I could help my husband with some work around the house. He has a tool he uses all the time so tool is an addition to supplement that. 

I like that is has the ability to crimp the ends of things but also to strip wires when you are doing electrical work and a built in wire cutter. This tool is pretty basic, I thought it would have a spring action but I now realize after using it, it is definitely better that it’s not -- goes to show what I know about tools! This did what I needed it to, cut wires, stripped them and allowed you to crimp them. 

What I like is all the different connections it comes with because you always run out, with these additions we won’t worry about running out. A great basic tool, but I’m going to leave the electrical work to my husband!

The Acko Crimping Tool and Terminals Assortment set is available on Amazon.

Review: Baby View Mirror

Do you have a baby or small child in the backseat you want to keep an eye on? If the answer is yes, the Argo-shops baby mirror is for you. It really doesn't matter if you have kids - this is good even if you are watching young children or a pet and have them in the car.

The mirror attaches with straps to the headrest in the back seat of your car. All you need to do is adjust it to the right height using the attached straps. Once set and the straps are pulled tight, the mirror won't move.

The mirror itself is very lightweight and made of shatter proof material for safety. It's designed not to break which I love. Another surprise in the box is a cleaning cloth that you can use to wipe the mirror clean.

Another good use is if you have a pet in the backseat that you want to keep an eye on. My pet is my baby so it only makes sense I tried it to see my cat (he hates the car so it's good to keep an eye on him when he's in the carrier in the car)!

If you are interested in the Argo-shops baby mirror, you can find it on Amazon.
