DIY Manicure and Pedicures with the #Utilyze Nail Kit #HolidayGiftGuide #AmazonReview #Spon

I am a sucker for products that make life easier on me, and that saves me money in the long run.  I enjoy doing my own nails.  It mellows me out, and I feel like it is just like an DIY Art Project.  From all the pretty colors of polishes, and shaping the nail.  I don't want to pay someone $20, plus a tip for something I can do for myself in a few minutes.

I recently was sent the Utilyze Professional Manicure and Pedicure Set from a Seller off Amazon, and I am in Love with this kit.

It's a much better quality than the set I previously had that I bought from a Pharamcy.  My old set always wiggled the attachments out, and they never locked.  This new set turns, and locks, and even has a protective plastic guard to place over it.  It's extremely easy to use. I like that this Manicure, and Pedicure Kit comes with a zippered Storage Case to put everything back into, and I also like that the strength of the Grinder can be turned up, or down.  Which makes it very easy to shape the Nails, and be Gentle on the Cuticles.   The Grinders are Sapphire Tips, and the Buffer is really easy to use, and comfortable.

Includes 9 attachments with specific use to offer professional results. Shape, buff, file, and shine nails, remove excess cuticles, smooth corns and calluses.

I opted to do a Halloween Nail after doing my Toes, and Fingers.   I always grind, then Buff, then Clear Coat my nails.  Then do a Bold Color on top the Clear Coat.  I did Orange this Month, and added Green Pumpkin Face Smileys.

Fisher-Price - Think & Learn Code-a-pillar™ #Review We LOVE it! @BestBuy @fisherprice #TechToys #Ad

My favorite feature about Fisher Prices new Code-A-Pillar Think & Learn Tech Toy is that it interlocks as easily as connecting USB ports together.  It also had a lot of fun sounds, and lights for each code that it programs to do by the different segments.

My 5 year old is autistic and is delayed in certain cognitive skills, and has trouble with his hands sometimes but the moment he picked the interlocking segment pieces up to the Code-A-Pillar he knew how to connect them.  They are a much more fun, and interactive way to problem solve and develop critical thinking than the typical lacing beads that can be boring for children that crave sensory needs.

I really believe this will keep any childs attention while learning to code, and learn cause & effect by having fun.  Some of the sounds it makes even made me giggle, I thought what a sassy Code-A-Pillar! When it does run into something, it stops completely and it's eyes light up, and makes a noise so that they know to change direction or rearrange the combination of the segments so that it can keep going.

Code-a-pillar #Review @@BestBuy @@fisherprice #TechToys #Ad such a great #Learning #Toy and fantastic for #Development, My #ASD son loves the sensory aspect of the interlocking usb sections that program each link to what what he wants next. The Music, and interaction keeps his attention. It's just a great way to introduce cause and effect with codes.

My First Telescope #Review #GeoSafariJr #Spon @ed_insights

GeoSafari has made such a cute, and durable My First Telescope.  The first thing I noticed about it was how simple it was to put together.  It comes in two pieces, and the Telescope has a vertical lock knob to attach to the Tripod.  

What makes it nice is the Center of the tripod has supports so that the legs stay up on their own and only when you want it to collapse it does for storage.  Both my 5 year old son, and my 6 year old nephew had fun looking for animals in the trees that were about 100 feet away.  The extra large eye pieces and google shape made it easy for them to use the telescope, and it moved around easily from the horizontal knob feature.

Biotin Bursts Brazilian Acai Berry #TastesLikeCandy but Full of Vitamin B! #Review @NeoCellHealth #Spon

My favorite thing about these Neocell Biotin Bursts with Brazilian acai berry is the taste.  It reminds me of a better for me taffy.  It's a soft, sweet (Only 3 g of Sugar a Chew, and Serving Size is 1 Chew.) treat that's full of 10,000 mcg of Biotin. 5 G Carbs, and 20 Calories so it's low Enough for my Keto Diet.  I try to stay between 30-50 Carbs A Day, and Under 10 g of Sugar for the Day so it fits my Lifestyle great.  

Some facts about Biotin,  is a water soluable vitamin B.  It's used for Hair Growth, Nails, Skin, and Vitamin B is great for Energy.  I stopped drinking coffee through out the day, and instead I upped my Vitamin B, and my other supplements.  

I really like how taking NeoCells Biotin Bursts Chews is more of a reward for myself since I don't eat Candy anymore except for Fat Bombs that I make myself with Coconut Oil, and 100% Cocoa.  I do feel like I am eating a piece of Taffy, and I absolutely love it.  

If Brazilian Acai Berry isn't your thing (Believe me it's delicious.) Neocell has a line of other Flavors, check Neocell out here on their website, http://www.neocell.com/products-bursts-chews-biotin.php

I wanted to try Let's Do.. Organics Green Banana Flour since I started on this journey to eat healthier foods.  What connected me with this flour was it's naturally gluten free, extremely low carb, and has a fluffier consistency than regular flour.  I decided to make Gluten Free, Low Carb Mozzerella Sticks.

You can find more great recipes and product reviews from our friends at the Village Bakery.

Ingredients Needed,

You had me at No Artificial anything! @ReedsGingerBrew #Review #GlutenFree #PreservativeFree #CaffeineFree #Sodas #Spon

Aren't all the colors of the Brews beautiful? Colas, Cream Sodas, Root Beers, and even Ginger Beer (Ale.)

I'm truly amazed by REED's Inc.  with all of their Brews being GMO Free, Preservative Free, Caffeine Free, and with No Artificial anything while still maintaining a great taste of fresh ingredients, and the carbonation is to die for.  When I am craving a Soda, it's that carbonation, and mix of Flavors that I want.  The first Soda I wanted to try was the Zero Root Beer that has No Calories!!  It was delicious, and hit the spot I was looking for.  Something Sweet while the foam was perfect on top! I then tried the Jamaican Style Ginger Beer (Ale) and was blown away by the spices.  These are how Sodas were meant to be Brewed.  

With detail to Flavor like that I completely can taste why each beverage tastes as strong, and smooth as they do. "Virgil's made naturally for the soft drink connoisseur originally Virgil's was one man's passion to create the finest root beer ever produced.  After retiring from a very successful career in the beverage industry, Ed Crowly set out to research making his root beer. As a result of his research Ed developed the recipe for Virgil's Root Beer.  Recipe in hand, his search for the finest ingredients took him around the world.  The results are three NASFT awards for Virgil's Root Beer the highest ever for a beverage. When Ed retired, Reed's Inc. took over the company and has added cream sodas, and colas worthy of Ed's pioneering efforts all made naturally without caffeine or preservatives.  Reed’s Inc. was started in 1989 by Chris Reed. His research into the history of sodas found soft drink recipes from before the beginning of the modern soft drinks industry… He found that back in the early log cabin days, the pioneers couldn’t go to the store and buy soft drinks, they brewed their own sodas. They didn’t make them the way modern commercial soft drinks are made, even the so called natural ones. They brewed them in their kitchens, directly from roots, spices and fruits. These early soft drinks, besides being natural and delicious, were also healthy. Many folk used them as herbal tonics." Read more about Reed's Inc. Brews here, http://reedsinc.com/

Big Bucket Of Zombies Action Figures on Brain Cupcakes #Review #Halloween #‎BigBucketOfZombies‬ ‪#‎FTWD‬ ‪#‎TWD‬ ‪#‎Walkers‬ ‪#‎Zombies‬ ‪#‎Spon‬

With Halloween approaching, and my Favorite Zombie Shows like Fear The Walking Dead, and The Walking Dead on I can't get enough of the Walkers.  It made complete sense to me why I needed a Bucket of 100 Plastic Zombies, Men/Women Running From Zombies, Zombie Pets, and matching Zombies escaping from Grave stones all Night of the Living Dead in my collection too.

I am going to add a handful to my Halloween Candy bowl as well.  There are plenty to go around! I also am going to use them for on top of Brain Cupcakes.

For the brain cupcakes I just use a basic red velvet cake mix, whipped icing with a little bit of red food coloring and put the dark pink icing in the corner of a sandwich bag, twirl the bag til all the icing is just in one corner, then cut a small hole in that corner. Then do this Brain pattern on to of the cupcake. It makes it look like brains!

If you want to do a Zombie Cake without the unwanted effort, you could use this to make a Grave yard with Zombies, and still have a lot left over to put in Party Favor Bags. The possibilities of these Action Figures are almost endless.

What I really like about The Big Bucket of Zombies Action Figures is the detail of the characters, One is holding a brain.. another is stretching out plastic intestines..  some looked like they've been undead longer than others. The Zombie Dog that's ready to attack made me laugh.  It's those type of details in Plastic Action Figures (Think retro Plastic Army Men, but as Zombies!)  that make these different.

*Ceramic Graveyard Set Not Included. 

If Zombies aren't your cup of tea check out Big Bucket's other Action Figure sets: Animal Adventure Action Figures, Civil War Soldiers, Farm Animals, Firemen, Safari Animals; Sea Creatures and Dinosaur Skeleton figures. They are available for purchase for $19.99 by visiting: www.scsdirectinc.com, www.amazon.com, and at specialty retailers nationwide.

• Instead of handing out big buckets of candy, Big Buckets of Monsters and Zombies are an unexpected alternative to offer trick-or-treaters.

• Each Big Bucket comes with 100 assorted spooky action figures- including zombies, gravestones, humans, werewolves, and even Frankenstein! With over a dozen unique sculpts... down to the poses!

• Each set of creepy creatures comes in two colors, so you can have awesome undead battles! Buckets of Zombies are also available in glow in the dark, for late night fights. Each bucket includes an assortment of durable, heavy plastic action figures, great for indoor or outdoor action-packed play and electronic-free fun!

• Unlike the average figurine, these menacing monsters stand up on their own, and they definitely put the action in action figure.

SoundLogic XT Bluetooth Indoor and Outdoor Party Speaker Review #Spon

I think the Sound Logic indoor & outdoor Bluetooth party speaker completely fits my beach, bbq, and park sound needs. I also think it looks very futuristic. If great sounds weren't coming out of it I'd think it was a power core for a time machine. The sound quality rivals my home system. I also like that it can get pretty loud if your into that sort of thing, which I am now and then. I enjoy that it comes with a strap so you can carry it hands free.. even dance with it on. It was very easy to get it working on all my devices. In fact it was easy for my friends to connect with their devices via blue tooth as well. We took turns playing our favorite songs. I like that there are ways to hard connect via Usb, and Aux, even SD Card at the end of the Speaker. I know sometimes not all devices are Blue tooth, so this Speaker gave me both worlds. Wired, and Unwired *BlueTooth* I like the sleek, modern design a lot.  I received product at discount for my review. All photos, and opinions are my own.

SoundLogic XT® Rechargeable Wireless Rave Bluetooth Speaker with LED Light Show Review #Spon

I am fascinated with the Sound Logic Rechargeable Wireless Rave Bluetooth Speaker. The first thing I noticed about the speaker was the cylinder shape, and that no batteries are needed, it charges while plugged in via usb, and keeps a charge that way no wires are needed, or batteries. To me, that is convenient. I charge mine with my mini solar powered charging station.  I am always trying to find cool gadgets like this Wireless Rave Speaker. The size fits perfectly in smaller spaces too, and I think it looks cool placed vertical, just as much horizontal. I also like that there are places to plug headphone Aux, and USBs into on the Side. I am a fan of electronics that give you choices.

Watch the Video I made of my Rave Speaker Jamming, It's so much Fun!

I connected my Rave Speaker to my Amazon Fire HD Tablet, and to my Amazon Fire Cell phone with no problems. As soon as I turned the Rave Bluetooth Speaker on it made a fun beeping sound, and the Rainbow lights Blinked, to tell me the device was turned on. I then went into Apps on my Devices, Turned on my Bluetooth, and Searched for the Device. I found it, and connected to it within seconds. The Rave speaker then Beeped again, and made an even cooler design. I then brought up my Chrome browser, and loaded Youtube. I love that I can play anything I am watching, even videos in my browser without Downloading any Apps. This is why SoundLogic has became one of my favorite Speaker Systems. I have a more expensive brand, and It only works when I have it hardwired or using an App with my Devices to stream Songs. The fact I have no problem networking it to my Bluetooth enabled devices makes this amazing in my book. The multi-color rainbow design lights up, and plays along with the Bass, and rhythm once its music is going. I think this is just a really fun speaker, even my toddler loved hearing his favorite songs on it like a little Rave Party. I received product at discount for my opinion.

Amazon Kindle Fire HD 6 Case #Review Damask Black #Spon

I needed a Case for my Amazon Fire HD 6 (Yes My Fire HD is Pink!) that didn't break my bank.  I tried to find a case in store at various places, but they were all too plain, and all too boring.  

The case itself is light weight, not bulky, and feels like grey felt suede on the inside.  If you want to find out more on the case, you can find it on Amazon. It has everything I wanted.  It securely keeps the Case inside.  There is even a flap that folds over, and secures the Fire HD by velcro.

I received this Case at a discounted Price for my honest Review.  Check it out on Amazon, Amazon Kindle Fire HD 6 2014 Case Damask Black - Slim Folding Cover Case for Amazon Kindle Fire HD 6 Inch 2014 Tablet With Smart Cover Auto Wake Sleep

Mandoline Slicer - Premium 6 Piece Grater Cutter Shredder Slicing Set #Review #Spon

I like how this Mandoline Slicer fits all of the interchangeable trays inside of the slicer itself. I grated Cheese in mine tonight, after grating it I pulled the handle part off, and just attached the top so I could prep more things for dinner. It comes with 4 Graters, A Lid, A Bottom Container that whatever you're grating can fall into, and a slider/piece with spikes to help grate

I also like how playful the colors are, and how easy they were to clean off too. I found everything about this Grater to be convenient, and easy. I like easy.

Liquid Chalk Markers and Chalkboard Labels DIY Projects #Review #Spon

I had a lot of fun using Aurial Chalkboard Labels, and Chalk Marker to transform a cheap tin I got with my Cookies at the Grocery Store into an Indian Spice Tin.  We eat a lot of Curry, Turmeric, Cinnamon, and Saffron.  I've been wanting to try these labels out, and the Marker.  The Chalk Marker has directions right on the Marker.  First Push the tip of the marker down, and Shake. Repeat if needed.  The tip of the Chalk Marker is Slanted, and can do details dots/lines as well, depending on how it's held. I just had fun with this.

(I painted/textured the container, then Applied the Chalkboard Label.)

My marker went on the Label Smooth, and I am very pleased with the outcome.  I can't wait to Finish the other 3 Containers for my Shelf using Aurial Chalkboard Labels, and Chalk Markers. I plan on labeling all my favorite Spices.

Epica Hand Held Shower Head #Review #Spon

 

Epica Hand Held Shower Head Review.  I felt like a professional when I installed this myself. I had no problem taking my old shower head off, and attaching this one.

First I twisted the old shower head off, and peeled off the old Plumbers tape. I also appreciated that the new Shower head box came with a mini roll of the Plumbers Tape too.

I then put new tape on at the threads, added a black washer seal to the part that attached to the Pipe coming out the Wall. Then I added another black washer seal to the piece under the wall mount for where the long hose attaches.

The shower head adjusts to different settings by turning the plastic face like a dial. I am amazed at myself, and showering felt like I was in a different bathroom.

I received product at a discounted price for my honest opinion. Find out more about Epica Hand Held Shower Heads by going to Amazon, https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00UVVDI1Q

Home Complete, Best Shoe Rack Organizer Storage Bench #Review #Spon

( I officially need more shoes! Since you know, they will now be super organized.)

I thought the Home Complete Shoe Rack Organizer was easy to put together. I also liked how the rods can be adjusted for different size shoes/heights.

I had no trouble pushing the Rods in, and setting the shoe rack up. My high tops fit perfectly on the bottom rack.

I really appreciate that no tools were needed to put this together. It comes with the 8 Rods, and 2 Sides.

I like how elegant it looks, while I really put no effort into putting it together. It took me maybe a few minutes tops to put together. It's perfect!
