Keep your lunch cold with the Hango Lunch Box Set (Review)



 
Hango - Your Lunch Bag for everywhere. Anytime.
Hango is the first lunch bag designed for different situations.  It is a set of two sizes for different occasions and has the best thermal insulation system so your food is kept longer.  The zipper is made of durable stainless steel. The bags are made of high quality material (polyester 300D with high density) and are nicely made.
They are also the only ones to offer Lifetime warranty so there is no risk!

The package includes:
1 large bag 6L x 6H x 10W (inches)
1 small bag 5L x 5H x 7.5W (inches)


My Review:
 
I recently received a Hango Lunch Box Set to review.  I received the black set which is my favorite color (yay!)  They arrived in a nice tote bag.  They kind of look like cosmetic bags but are really stylish lunch totes.  I think they are cute.  At first, I thought the lining was pretty thin. After filling one up with food and an ice pack, it stayed cool for several hours.  I'm impressed with how well they work.  I really like having the smaller one available for having snacks on the go.  These would have been perfect when the kids were babies to carry their bottles and baby food.  I would definitely recommend Hango to anyone who wants a stylish lunch box set that keeps things cool.  You can purchase it HERE on Amazon.

Keep your urine in check with Areta Urinalysis Strips (Review)



 
 Areta Urinalysis Test Strips include 100 strips in one bottle. Testing parameters include: Leukocytes, Nitrite, Urobilinogen, Protein, pH, Blood, Specific Gravity, Ketone, Bilirubin, and Glucose.
 They are easy to use: Dip in urine sample for 1-2 seconds; hold the strip close to the color blocks in bottle and match colors; results may be read up to 2 minutes and any color change after that shall be ignored.Color blocks are very clean cut and reduce confusion.  Colors change quickly after testing and results are available in 2 minutes.
  Save on doctor visits by screening ahead. Test strips have up to a 2 year shelf life clearly marked on the bottle. (Be advised: Once the bottle is opened, the strips are fresh for 90 days.)
 They are FDA Approved for Screening at-risk patients to assist for screening the following areas: diabetes, liver diseases, hemolytic diseases, urogenital, kidney disorders, urinary tract infections, carbohydrate metabolism (e.g. diabetes mellitus), liver function, acid-base balance and urine concentration.
 
 
My Review:
 
I recently had the chance to review a bottle of Areta parameters.  I was told awhile back that I had a trace of blood in my urine after a routine check at my Neurologist's office.  After following up with my family doctor, I found out I had a bladder infection.  I didn't even know it because I never had any symptoms!  I was glad to try out these strips because they let me know in advance if there is blood in my urine as well as many other things.  They sent an email telling me how to read the results and understand what everything means.  It was very helpful in case my levels ever get abnormal.  As for now, everything is good but I will continue to keep an eye on it.  I would highly recommend these strips to anyone who wants to keep their health in check and make sure everything is good.  You can purchase them HERE.

Keep the bugs out with Quality Source Products Magnetic Screen Door (Review)







 
Quality Source Products Magnetic Screen Door fits a full 36 inch entry door. Overall product dimensions are 39" X 83".  There are no more gaps because this screen has a continuous center magnet.  It has continuous velcro sewn in around entire frame and also includes optional tacks for extra support.  This product comes with a risk free guarantee, so love it or your money back!
 


My Review:
 
I recently had the chance to review a Magnetic Screen Door by Quality Source Products.  I wanted this screen for my basement door which is one of those sliding doors.  We are going in and out of it all summer because our pool is right by the walkout that this door leads to.  The door is difficult to open and close so when one of the kids runs in to go to the bathroom, they leave it open.  It drives me crazy!  Not only are they letting flies in, but they are risking letting my indoor cat out.  I have a mesh door upstairs and she is scared to death of it.  After installing this door quickly and easily, I am ready for summer!  It fits perfectly and closes tightly after someone (or a dog) goes through it.  Sometimes it needs a little help to get the magnets lined back up but for the most part, it works great.  It is still a little too cold here to leave the door open but we will be using it soon enough.  I would recommend this screen to anyone who needs a mesh door of this size.  You can purchase it HERE on Amazon.

Don't fight with heavy hoses anymore! Get an Expandable Hose from Quality Source Products (Review)



 
Quality Source Products expandable hose starts out at 33 Feet, hook it up to water pressure and it will grow to 100 Feet. When finished allow the water to drain from the hose and it will return to 33 feet for easy storage.  It is very lightweight, kink free, & tangle free.  Forget about lugging around that heavy traditional 100 foot hose and storing it year round. When not in use this hose can be stored in a small bucket or on a shelf.  This expandable hose is very strong with 100 PSI working pressure and 300-PSI burst pressure. You will not be disappointed.


My Review:
 
I recently had the chance to review an expandable hose by Quality Source.  I was really shocked at how light it was when it arrived.  I took advantage of the first warm day here in Indiana to try it out by washing my new truck.  It hooked up easily and built up pressure quickly.  It has a shut-off valve on the end so you can adjust how much water comes out.  It is a pretty small hose in diameter so it didn't create a lot of pressure but it did work good to wash my truck.  I loved how light it was to pull around and think it will work great to water my roses this spring.  After I was done, I just unhooked it from the house and it sprang back to the normal size as the water ran out.  I would recommend this hose to anyone who doesn't want to fight with heavy hoses anymore.  You can purchase it HERE on Amazon.

Take care of your callused feet easily with La Pedi-Bon (Review)



 
87% of adults in the US have some type of foot problem and one of the most common problems is calluses. Calluses are rough dry patches that form on the feet. Anyone with callused feet who want to have silky smooth healthy feet will love the La Pédi Bon callus remover.  This kit contains a battery operated foot callus remover, one replacement head, a cleaning brush, and instructions. Batteries are not included.

 
My Review: 
 
I recently had the chance to review a La Pédi Bon callus remover.  My pitiful feet were in dire need of this because I go barefoot all the time and I haven't been moisturizing them like I should be.  I didn't even realize how bad they were until I took a picture of them!  Summer is coming so it is time to get these ugly feet back to looking normal.
 
 
The first time I used La Pédi Bon, it made a big difference in how my feet felt and looked.  There was still a light callus and dry skin there but nothing compared to what it used to be.  It was so easy to use and automatically stopped if I pushed too hard.  I stopped when it felt smooth to me.
 


Every few days, I ran it over the spot again and my callus is literally disappearing!  Every time, my skin gets softer and smoother.  I love how this product requires virtually no effort.  No more tired arms from filing away with pumice and files to get callouses off!  I would definitely recommend La Pédi Bon to anyone who wants to get rid of calluses easily.  You can purchase it HERE on Amazon.

Create a beautiful photo blanket at Collage.com (Review & Giveaway)




Keep you and your loved ones warm with a customizable photo blankets from CollageDotCom.  Each blanket is printed on high quality, durable fleece and is machine washable.  The shorter plush on the fleece blanket ensures your photos are as sharp as possible and is perfect for use as a wall hanging or quilt.
Photo blankets are the perfect, unique gift to show the loved ones in your life how much you care.


My Review:
 
I recently had the chance to review a customizable photo blanket from Collage.  I was able to choose any photo(s) and create my blanket easily online.  I chose these three photos that I took of my kids last fall.  I cherish the biggest picture because it was one of those rare moments that they allowed me to take their picture together without making silly faces.  It's one of my favorite pictures of them together so I wanted to get something special made with it.
 


I knew a photo blanket would be perfect for this.  The site was easy to navigate and it only took a few minutes to create my blanket.  I could change the color of my photos and the borders.  I could even add words if I wanted to!  There are lots of customization options to use if you wish.  I chose the simple black and white photos without any writing and I just love it!  The blanket is solid white on the back.  It is 50" X 60" and as you can see in the top photo, it is not large enough to cover a queen size bed.  It is the perfect size for lounging around or laying across a couch.  It would also make a nice wall hanging if you did not want to use it.  I think it would make a perfect gift idea for anyone.  Check out the website or follow them on FacebookTwitter, Pinterest, or Instagram.
 


Giveaway:
 
One lucky winner will receive a code to customize their very own photo blanket for free!  To enter, just fill out the form below.  This is open to U.S. residents only.  Thank you for entering & good luck!

Clean and Restore Your Leather Products with Leather Nova (Review)




Leather Nova was started with a goal to make the best leather care products, suitable for all types of leather surfaces.  Only high-grade polymers and premium ingredients are used in their conditioners and cleaners. The products are also non-toxic and environmentally friendly, plus they are non-greasy and will not leave any film or residue behind. All products include a complimentary applicator or microfiber towel, which allows for easy application.
  
 
My Review:

I recently had the chance to review three products by Leather Nova.  They sent me their Leather Cleaner, Leather Conditioner, & Conditioner & Cleaner.  Even though I have several leather items at home, I mainly wanted to try these products on the seats of my new Tahoe.  I just got it a few weeks ago and it is the first vehicle I have ever had with leather seats.  This truck is my baby and I want to do everything I possibly can to protect it inside and out.  Even though my seats weren't really dirty, I still tried it out.  First, I used the Leather Cleaner first and sprayed it on the included microfiber towel.  I wiped the seats down.  My seats looked great already!  I did notice the towel left little pieces behind but hopefully this will go away after it is washed.  Next, I applied the Leather Conditioner and left it on for an hour.  Then I buffed it away.  I did this on the two front seats and you could tell a difference from the back seats.  For the back seats, I used the Conditioner & Cleaner.  I just applied it with the included pad and allowed it to dry for thirty minutes.  After that, I buffed it out.  All of my seats looked amazing, clean, and restored.  I know it is very hard to show shiny black leather in photos but here are my before and after pictures of my seat...


Trust me, the photos do not show justice to what this stuff can do!  I would highly recommend Leather Nova to anyone who wants to clean and restore their leather products.  Check out the website or follow them on Facebook.

Stream Your Instagram Feed With #Cube (Review)




#Cube is the living canvas for the Instagram photos and videos that matter most to you. Finally liberated from your smart devices, #Cube passively streams the candids of your friends, family and favorite people to you throughout the day. Photos and videos are streamed in real-time, bringing them straight from Instagram to your #Cube.


 
My Review:
 
I recently had the chance to review a #Cube.  To be honest, I wasn't sure what it was before I got it.  I thought it was something to display my Instagram photos but it is not.  After receiving it, I seen it is so much better than that.  You actually connect your Instagram account to it and it displays all of the photos and videos from your connections as they are posted, as long as there is a wifi connection.  You just set how fast the photos change and sit back and watch them roll!  You can see the back of the photo to see what is wrote on it and you can also "favorite" them.
 

The screen size is large enough that several people can watch it.  It is much nicer than trying to look at a little phone screen.  You can get the #Cube in other colors.  It also comes with a charger.


 
I love this new gadget and I highly recommend it to any fan of Instagram.  It makes a great gift idea.  Check out the website or follow them on Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, Youtube, or Google+.

Prolong the Life of Your Delicates With IndieSmarts Luxury Wash Bags (Review)




 
 
If you've tried any ordinary laundry wash bags, you'll notice the InsideSmarts difference in no time. These #1 rated wash bags are made of premium-grade mesh that makes them as strong & durable as they are luxurious & smooth.  This lingerie wash bag set ships includes 4 Luxury Wash Bags (2 medium, 2 large). Keep like-colors separated using the 3 white wash bags for light-colored loads, and the 1 large black bag for dark-colored items.  Zippered mesh laundry bags can be noisy, but not this new, 2015 Delicates Wash Bag design. Slip the rustproof zipper under the smart zipper guard to protect & ensure a quiet, snag-free wash.
 
 
My Review:
 
I recently had the chance to review a set of InsideSmarts Luxury Wash Bags.  I have been trying to find a way to prolong the life of my bras but they tend to get ruined in the washer too quickly.  I always hang them to dry but the washing machine is just too hard on them because they get tangled up with everything.  After receiving these bags, I have been able to add life to my bras because they come out of the washer tangle free.  They can no longer get hooked on lacey clothing or my frayed jeans!  I usually place 2-3 bras in the bag at a time and it works perfectly.
I would definitely recommend these bags to anyone who wants to prolong the life of their delicates.  You can purchase them HERE on Amazon.

Fantasy Box Is Not Just Valentine's Day. Check Out the Limited Edition Platinum Spa Box (Review)

 
The Platinum Spa Limited Edition Valentine's Day Fantasy Box was exclusively designed for The View.  It features an amazing lingerie set of your choice (Black-Decadence, Red-Romance, or Blue-Sweetness), an array of luxuriously sweetly-scented products and three signature Fantasy Box instruction cards for setting the mood and turning your home into a romantic spa retreat. And no need to worry about the neighbors, the package is delivered in a discreet brown box.
 
 

My Review:
 
I recently had the chance to review a Platinum Spa Valentine's Day Fantasy Box.  I adore Fantasy Box and could not wait to receive this box.  I already had Valentine's Day plans for dinner and the new hot movie with my hubby so this would fit in perfectly for the after party.
 


As promised, the box arrived in plain cardboard with no distinguishable labels to give a clue to what is inside.  When I opened the box, the first layer had three cards that gave ideas and instructions on how to use the products inside.
 


Under the flap lay the lovely products!  I'm in heaven!  Some of  my favorite things all thrown into one box!  Anyone could get used to this.  Here is a breakdown of everything inside...
 



Lingerie- I chose the Decadence set, which is black.  You can get red or blue as well.  They are supposed to come with panties but mine did not.  I ordered a size large even though I usually wear medium and it fits perfectly.  It is super cute and comfy.
 


Coquette Thigh High Hose - I honestly did not wear these because my husband hates them.
 



Kama Sutra Chocolate Crème Brulee Body Souffle - This stuff is very moisturizing and smells delicious.  I felt like I was being slothered in chocolate pudding.
 


JimmyJane Afterglow Natural Massage Oil Candle - This candle burned nicely and smelled great.  It does not leave your skin waxy like some oil candles do.  If you like hot oil massages, then this is perfect for you.
 


Sliquid Organics Sensual Massage Oil - This oil does not have much of a scent but works great. 
 


Kama Sutra Honey Dust Kissable Body Powder - This powder comes in a cute bag and also a tin.  It has a feather duster to apply it with.  It smells amazing!  You will definitely want to kiss it off!
 


Bag of flower petals - You can drop these in the bath water to set the mood or leave a trail to where you are with them.
 



Bag of 9 Tealight Candles - I lit these around the room to create a sexier atmosphere.
 
There was also a 25% off code for my first subscription box!
 
Thanks to Fantasy Box, my Valentine's Day (and the next morning) was amazing!  I would definitely recommend them to anyone who wants to add some fun in the bedroom or wants a great gift idea.  It's not just for Valentine's Day.  It is perfect for any occasion or every night!  This box is still available for $99 (that's half price!) so hurry before they sell out!  Check out the website for all the other boxes that is available and be sure to follow them on Facebook, Twitter, or Pinterest.
