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.

Housebreak your pets easily with Doggie Lawn (Review)

 

Doggie Lawn is specially formulated, hydroponically grown grass is designed to work perfectly as an indoor dog potty, or outside on your balcony as a fresh potty patch. This dog grass weighs slightly more than one half as much as standard sod for easy lifting and is "soil-less" which means it contains virtually none of the dirt you find in sod sold in home improvement stores. Try it out and see for yourself how much you and your dog will love having their own convenient fresh patch of grass for bathroom breaks!
This product is also wonderful for cats, rabbits, turtles, hedgehogs etc.

 

My Review:

 

I recently had the chance to review a patch of Doggie Lawn.  I have seven dogs and a cat that typically stay in the house at night.  They are all housebroke and are on a perfect schedule.  They want let out on weekends at the same time they get let out through the week when my husband goes to work.  I had noticed awhile back that someone was peeing in front of the door every once in awhile at night and figured it might be one of the older dogs. I just thought they were having a hard time holding their bladder so long.  After this Doggie Lawn arrived, I noticed the cat was very attracted to it.  She was all over it before I even got it out of the box.  As soon as I got the patch in the tray, she was sniffing around in it.  I placed it in front of the door and introduced my dogs to it.  They had no interest in it.  I stayed back and kept an eye on it for awhile.  Finally, I saw the cat go over and pee in it!  She went back to it numerous times but I wanted her to use her litter box so I moved the patch next to it.  I couldn't believe she was the culprit the whole time!  She continued to pee on the patch sometimes and also used her litter box.  I figured she had an issue with the brand of litter I was using and changing that.  When the patch got worn out, I threw it out and have not seen any more pee in front of the door.  I don't know why she has always wanted to go outside even though she is an indoor cat.  She definitely liked the real grass.  I plan on using Doggie Lawn for my next litter of puppies because there is an obvious animal attractant to it.  I would definitely recommend it to anyone who wants to housebreak an animal.  Check out the website or follow them on Facebook or Twitter.

Get your daily dose of B-12 with Maxasorb B-12 Serum (Review)

 

Vita Sciences manufactures high quality supplements and lotions containing natural herbs, vitamins, and minerals.  The Maxasorb line of creams contain nutrients such as vitamin B12, vitamin D, vitamin E, melatonin and other nourishing ingredients. All of the products are hypoallergenic, non-greasy, easy to use and effective.

My Review:

 

I recently had the chance to review a bottle of Maxasorb B-12 Serum.  My doctor requires me to take B-12 pills everyday, which I hate.  When I found out that I could get my daily dose of B-12 by simply rubbing it in my hands, I had to give it a try.  It takes just two pumps of cream and it absorbs very quickly.  The scent is nice but does not last long.  It has a light moisturizing effect but does not last a long time either.  I have not noticed any reactions to my sensitive skin so I will continue to use it.  It definitely beats taking an extra pill everyday!  I would definitely recommend this to anyone who needs B-12 and wants a much easier way to get their daily dose.  Check out the website for more information.

Get soft, silky skin with GoPure Fractionated Coconut Oil (Review)

It offers a feather-light emollient, providing a soothing barrier, without the risk of clogging your pores, and is ideal for dry or otherwise troubled skin. It provides the skin with a non-greasy, silky smooth feel, unlike the other vegetable carrier oils currently available. It is completely soluble with all types of essential oils and is odorless and colorless.  It will not stain any fabric it comes in contact with. It also has a prolonged shelf life, which means it will not go rancid and is designed for topical use only.

 

 

My Review:

 

I recently had the chance to review a bottle of GoPure Fractionated Coconut Oil.  I have always been a huge fan of coconut oil but this is the first time I have used it in the liquid form.  I have always bought the tubs of solid oil that you have to let melt in your hand before applying.  Most of them leave me shiny and smelling like a Pina Colada.  That's fine with me but my husband hates the smell of coconut.  Since this oil from GoPure arrived, I will never go back to tub oils!  There is absolutely no scent to it.  It's a carrier oil so I can add my own essential oil to it if I want it to be scented.  it feels amazing as a massage oil and makes a great tanning oil.  I have been using it exclusively in my tanning bed and have gotten a nice tan from it.  It leaves my skin super soft and silky without the greasy look.  I would highly recommend this to anyone.  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 Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, or Instagram.

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.

My Review:

 

I recently had the chance to review a set of Hair Symphony brushes.  I wanted to try these for my daughter's hair.  She has long, baby fine hair that tangles easily.  She always gets mad when I brush her hair because she says I pull too hard.  When she puts her own hair up, she misses tangles and her hair looks awful.  When these brushes arrived, she immediately took them over.  She brushed the tangles out of her hair easily with both of them.  The larger brush, which is a styling brush now resides in her bathroom so she can use it everyday.  She put the pink detangling brush in her gym bag so she can put her hair up before basketball practice and games.

 



I am glad I have found a brush set that takes the tangles out of her hair painlessly.  I would highly recommend Hair Symphony to anyone.  Check out the website or follow them on Facebook or Twitter.

My Review:

 

I recently had the chance to review a bottle of  H2Thermal.  I wanted to try this because I blow dry and flat-iron my hair everyday.  It really takes it's toll on my hair so I can use all the help I can get to save it.  The product feels like lotion and is very silky feeling on my hands when I apply it to my hair.  I only need to use a small amount and run it through my towel dried hair.  When I start blow drying, I can feel it getting softer and silkier.  I was getting regular hair trims but since I got H2Thermal, I have not needed a trim.  My hair looks and feels healthy.  It has been a miracle worker for my hair!  I use it twice a week and love the results I am getting.  I would highly recommend H2Thermal to anyone who wants softer, shinier, silkier hair when they heat treat it.  You can purchase it on the Let's Talk Beauty website.  Be sure to follow them on Facebook, Twitter, Google+, & Pinterest.

Get a Free Peeler with the NanoRazor 3" Ceramic Paring Knife (Review)

The Savvy Living NanoRazor 3" black ceramic paring knife is an all-around performance ceramic knife that is sharp, durable and delivers effortless & high precision. The free peeler included in the packaging can be re-arranged for both right handed and left handed consumers. This product is perfect fit for the healthy eating conscious consumers who love to enjoy the authentic taste of their fruit and vegetables.

 

Ceramic knives are sharper, more lightweight, and much easier to clean than steel ones. However, many people complain that ceramic knives are too fragile, chipping or shattering at the slightest bump. The Savvy Living NanoRazor is made using a special 4-step process which makes their blades sharper, denser, and more durable than those on regular ceramic knives.

My Review:

 

I recently had the chance to review a NanoRazor knife.  The knife arrived in a nice box with a free peeler.  They were both molded perfectly in foam so they could easily be stored away for safety.  The first thing I used the knife for was peeling potatoes.  It worked great and is extremely sharp.  I actually cut my thumb because I wasn't used to using such a sharp knife.  I decided to try the peeler while I was peeling.  It got the job done but not as quickly as the knife.  The peeler is not near as sharp either.  Next, I tried peeling apples with both items.  They both worked great again!  The peeler worked much better on apples because of the softer skin.  This is the first ceramic knife I have ever used and am glad to add it to my kitchen.  It is easy to hold onto and fits my hand nicely.  I would highly recommend this knife to anyone who wants a sharp, quality kitchen knife.  You can find out more about it at Savvy Living.
