Duckymeter, a great bath toy that also monitors the water temperature!

The Duckymeter is a must have for any parent. Not only does it continually check the temperature of the water, letting you know if the water is too hot (red screen), too cold (blue screen) or the perfect temperature (green screen), it is a great toy during bath time for young children. The ducky can be fully submersed in the water so kids can play with it through the whole bath without any worries of it getting ruined. The temperature is displayed in Fahrenheit and is easy to read on the LCD screen. The temperature reading is activated when the thermometer comes in contact with water, so you don't have to worry about turning it on/off and it comes with the 3 AAA batteries already installed. This would make a great shower gift for expecting moms! I was provided with a sample of this product.

Ozeri Scale

The Ozeri ZB20 WeightMaster II is a great scale for someone that is on a weight loss journey because of its ability to track your weight loss (or gain) over time. First of all, the scale can actually be programmed for 8 different people to use it at the same time. The scale will know who is stepping on it based on their previous weigh in, this works perfectly as long as there aren't two people with similar weights using the scale. The scale will track your weight changes over the most recent weigh in and also the last 3, 7 and 30 weigh ins. If you are someone that likes to track your weight daily, this will allow you to keep track of the last 30 days of weight changes. I like that it will show the pounds lost with a green screen and pounds gained with a red screen so you can see right away what your change has been. The LCD screen is a nice size and easy to read. I haven't found the weight to be inaccurate at all for me yet. I was provided a sample of this product.

Tower Fan...quiet and works great!

The Ozeri 360 Oscillation Tower Fan is a great replacement for my old pedestal fan. It is much quieter than our old fan, which is nice because I don't have to turn the volume way up on the tv just to hear it over the fan. Since it is a tower fan, it is also much smaller both at the base and top. I really like the slim profile of this fan.
The LED screen is a nice touch, I have looked at other tower fans before and they all had regular buttons on them but no screen to see what the settings are at, just led lights over corresponding text for the different settings. The screen makes it easy to see exactly what the settings are on the fan. It also displays the current temperature in the room. If you need to monitor the temperature for whatever reason, it is easy to do with the fan as long as it is plugged in.

There are 3 pre-programed fan settings: normal fan, a breeze type setting and a sleep setting. You can choose the setting that best suits that moment you are using the fan. If you use this fan in the bedroom, it actually has a timer that you can program as well in 30 minute increments to a max of 8 hours. It also has a setting where it shuts off when the room reaches your desired temperature (you can set the temperature yourself). This is convenient no matter where you are using the fan.



You can set the amount of oscillation depending on how you want the air moving through the room and where you have the fan located in the room. You have the option of 60, 90, 120, or 360 degrees, so partial or full rotation of the fan. The fan even comes with a remote, you can adjust all the settings like you can with the buttons on the fan. The remote works from a decent distance away too. I like having the remote as an option for those times when I want to change the settings but too lazy to get up and do it manually. The back of the fan has a little spot to put the remote so that you don't lose it when not using it...well, you won't lose it as long as you don't have small children that take it and hide it. lol.



I have no complaints about this fan. I love all the options it has for different settings. I've been using the fan almost daily for the past 5 months and it works just as good as it did the day I got it. I was provided this product as a sample.

Anmao Pearl Earrings

I have been looking for a cute pair of dangly earrings and hadn't found a pair that I really liked for when I want to get dressed up a little. Most of the earrings I have tried in the past were just too heavy and uncomfortable for me to wear for a whole day or evening. The Anmao pearl earrings have pleasantly surprised me. They are 10mm white shell pearls and they don't weigh too much. They have a nice dangle to them. The earring is coated in 18k white gold, which is great for me because my ears are normally really sensitive and I will have issues with any earrings that are not made of sterling silver or gold. I haven't had a single issue wearing these for extended periods of time. These have become my go to pair of dressier earrings. The current price on Amazon is a good price for earrings of this quality and they would be great for gifting since they arrive in a nice little gift box! I received this pair of earrings complimentary for testing purposes. My opinion of this product is based on my own personal experience with them. #StarReviews

I got the CoCo Fashion Women's Solid Color Stretch Jumpsuit to wear under dresses that are slim fitting or lighter in color and translucent. I am 5'8" and 150 pounds, I normally wear a size 8 and sometimes a 10. I ordered the jumpsuit in a size XL based on the measurements given in the product description. It fits me really well.

The jumpsuit is lower in the back, which actually makes it perfect for dresses that are low cut in the back or have a keyhole. The fabric is breathable and it is comfortable to wear. It isn't like spanx, but does help hold everything in a little bit, so it smoothes out my love handles a bit for my more form fitting dresses. Since this has shorts, I also don't have to worry about the wind lifting my skirt or being super careful when bending down...this is especially important because I have two young children that I chase around constantly.

I got this in the khaki color, as I wanted it to be able to work under the largest variety of colors for dresses. It is a nice light neutral color. I am pretty pale and it is lighter than my skin tone, but it works well in terms of not showing through the dress. You can't even tell i have it on underneath. I am happy with this jumpsuit and it functions perfectly for what I am using it for.
I received this item free for my open, honest, and unbiased opinion.

There are many different colors to choose from :)

The North 15 Men's Belted Classic Cargo Pockets Twill Shorts are lightweight and nice for summer. The fabric is 60% cotton and 40% polyester and it is pretty soft. They are a bit longer in length than I was expecting them to be when on my husband, but they do measure 14" in the inseam which is what is listed in the description. My husband wears a 38, I ordered him the 38 and they are a little bit snug, nothing major though. * I was able to order another pair in a size 40 and they fit better, so I would order a size up for a better fit*

The pants have lots of pockets. The back two pockets are secured by a button in the middle of the pocket The pockets on the sides of the legs are secured by two pieces of velcro each. Then you have the standard front pockets. You also get a belt with these shorts, it is a nice and the color matches perfectly.

The stitching is ok, though there is one spot around the left leg that is about 6 inches long that was double stitched. The thread color matches the fabric, so you can only notice it if you are looking up close. It is not something you would ever notice from far away. There are threads that need to be cut all over the pants. It isn't a huge deal and isn't terribly noticeable, but a little bit of a pain to cut them all and clean them up.

The shorts wash and dry well. Just machine wash on cold and tumble dry on low. Overall, these are decent pants and the lighter weight fabric makes them cooler to wear in the summer.

I received this item free for my open, honest, and unbiased opinion.
