  • Affordable Halloween or Year Round dress up!

(You can choose a different color bandanna...which is totally SWEET!!!)

MY OPINION

LOL....Guess next time I should actually put on some make-up!!!

I’ll be honest, I didn’t think this hat would be any more than a one use and toss it out. However, I really shouldn’t have assumed until I got it out of the box. This Cowboy hat is made WAY better than what you’d find in those party stores around town for more money. I personally LOVE the way it fits on my head. I can’t wait until the big Cowgirl/Cowboy party down in New Orleans…It’s going to look AWESOME. Oh and the bandanna was a nice little extra…I won’t use it myself as I’m not going for the whole old school cow girl….more the cute cow girl, but I will find a good use for it. 
Of course you all know I'm going to be telling everyone about this little gem before we all leave....I mean we're gonna tear it up down in the bayou!!!

Slow Cooker Recipes for Beginners




Slow Cooker Recipes for Beginners are great for people who like creative and modern food, similar to what would be served in a good restaurant.
The slow cooker is an amazingly versatile appliance that allows for easy creativity in our kitchen. In addition to classics such as spicy beef stew and chicken piccata you’ll learn how to use the freshest spices and ingredients to make dishes you never thought possible.
The Slow Cooker Recipes for Beginners was designed for busy people who don’t want to sacrifice great-tasting, nutritious meals.





My Opinion
The recipes were good. All of them were very easy to follow and had really good flavor.

The Greek Stew was hands down my favorite!!! But, where I live there are NO GREEK people anywhere so to get anything with Greek flavor, so of course.....I'm all over it!!!

Anyone that knows anything about a  Slow Cooker it is a blessing...It makes life easy. If you have a busy day planned...Dinner can be started right in the morning and BAM it's done when you get home. This book has you off to a great start.
Now to what I don't like... for a beginner in the cooking world...It doesn't include PICTURES...so if you're a visual person....This isn't your book. 
The recipes maybe great but there isn't anything to compare them to.
That can be a real downer for some newbies.
Other than that, there isn't any issues.

MY OPINION
Being that I have had puffy eyes and dark age lines most of my life, I had pretty much just made up my mind that there was NEVER going to be a product EVER to take care of this problem.
So, that being said when this product came up I thought "OK, I'll try it and see." 
After the first week I was actually surprised to see a decrease in the puffiness and a slow color change of my age lines. My awful dark circles that have plagued me for ions were leaving me!!!!
This couldn't be real?!?!?!
I continued to use the gel everyday and I was VERY happy with the results.
(Yes!!! Those belong to me!!!!)
No make-up or anything just me!!!! No puffiness or Age lines.....Pretty Sweet!!!!

XTAVA Professional Infrared Flat Iron ~Review~



XTAVA Professional Infrared Flat Iron

NEW INFRARED HIGHLY EFFICIENT HEAT TECHNOLOGY seals the hair's natural moisture, adds silkiness and shine that will last all day. Regular heating affects the surface causing more damage and frizzy hair; the far infrared waves penetrate the inner layer of the hair strand, heating it from the inside out, protecting the cuticle which is the most fragile part of the hair shaft. Ceramic tourmaline generates Ionic technology that reduces the hair's surface tension, leaving locks shiny and frizz-free.


DOUBLE THE SIZE, DOUBLE THE SPEED The InfraRed flat iron combines an upper Dual-Plate technology, that maintains even heat across the plates at all times, and an extra wide 2'' bottom Floating plate for optimal coverage. Fast straightening in minimum strokes for the perfect silky straight hair.

MAXIMUM HAIR PROTECTION The InfraRed flat iron features a temperature regulation function to ensure damage free straightening. Its advanced microprocessor controller allows you to regulate the heat setting using 10 temperature steps between 265F-445F according to your individual needs. The superior quality ceramic heater enables the flat iron to reach maximum temperature within 90 seconds and allows for quick heat up recovery.

360 SWIVEL 8 FT. CORD You will not need any extension cord or a nearby outlet thanks to its 8 ft. long power cord. Avoid getting your cable entangled while styling your hair, with the integrated 360 degree swivel system that will simply rotate as you work.

SHUT-OFF FUNCTION Incorporates a convenient auto-shutoff function that will turn off the device when left unattended - never worry again after rushing out.




MY OPINION


I was totally amazed. I'm usually stuck with the old school one that burns my hair because the plates always get to hot. I'm pleasantly surprised that my hair never burned and it was straighten, silky smooth. The fact that this flat iron had an extra long cord that swirls was another pro!!! I wasn't getting tangled in the cord thus, messing up my hair or causing that wondrous burn on the forehead dilemma...which is a total bonus in my book!!
The sleek style and the over all quality of the the iron is a definite plus as well. So easy to hold and maneuver. My favorite auto-shut off for those of us that are forgetful and don't remember if we shut it off or not (Yep! already used that function once or twice!!!) ..Easy to read Temp LCD. Just WONDERFUL!
I think the only thing I might ever change would be to move the control buttons to the top so that when you're actually holding the iron you're not changing the temp or turning it off.

Bulu Box Review ~AWESOME~



Bulu Box

Bulu Box is the first health, nutrition and weight loss discovery box designed to help you feel your best. Each month, you’ll get a custom box filled with a new mix of 4 to 5 premium samples from top brands to try. Every sample is sufficient enough to decide if the product is right for you. Of course, shipping is always free and you can cancel anytime. 



My Opinion

Yes ....That is an actual picture of the Bulu Box I was sent to review!!! I was AMAZED myself when it arrived. 
I love the fact that each item was basically a try before you buy kinda of deal. Instead of me going to the store and buying the whole huge bottle of vitamins and totally hating the taste or choking them down from the size....here I have the chance to try them. Plus a lot of the products came with some type of savings to buy the actual size product.
My box ROCKED!!!
There wasn't anything in there that I  actually hated...
I did notice on their site they offer two different types of boxes...an original box....like the one I received and a weight loss one ....
Pretty cool.
I actually think these would make a great gift for all of those who keeping forgetting birthdays and such....it gives through out the year.
It is one of my favorites so far of the monthly subscription available.

Krav Maga In No Time Review &Giveaway #kravmagainnotime


KRAV MAGA IN NO TIME
The Krav Maga In No Time home study course consists of 27 high quality HD format videos teaching you how to win and get out unharmed from a face-to-face attack. You will learn to use the natural movements of your body to defend yourself and move to a counterattack.
The basic principle of Krav Maga is minimum defense against maximum attack. This principle is embedded in each of the moves. Each movie shows a certain move of defense or attack accompanied by a straight-to-the-eye explanation. Then the move is shown in slow motion so that you are able to observe each detail.

Buy Your Copy Here

My opinion
I honestly loved how I could pause and go back to make sure I had the position correct without looking like a total idiot. If I was in a class I would be consistently checking everyone else and not paying attention to myself and fail in what I needed to learn.
Each video is slowed down so even the youngest of learner can comprehend what way your body is suppose to be in and how each movement is to go.
Nothing is left out of place, if you miss something go back and check it again.
No one is judging you in your own home.
It got to the point I was just standing in the right position without even thinking. I'd go out shopping and I wouldn't even be thinking, but sure enough, in the checkout line....my feet were in position.
It started to become second nature. 
My children even got into it. My oldest actually kidnapped my computer and started watching the videos. 
He has to work on his positioning and his hands , but he's learning. You can too!!!
That's what's great about these DVDs...and I can't say enough about the instruction!!! Totally WONDERFUL!!!!

GIVEAWAY!!!

NOVA External Battery Bank, Portable Charger Review




NOVA External Battery Bank, Portable Charger

High Capacity - 5000 mAh Li-ion Rechargeable battery, Recharge over 1000 times!

LCD Screen - Shows the precise indication for your Power Bank battery charging level and device status
Dual Charge - 5V/2A ("fast charging") and 5V/1A USB outputs work simultaneously. USB charging ensures it will work with most of the devices.
Smart IC - Current protection prevents shorting, overheating and overcharging for safety!
1 Year Warranty


My Opinion

I'm the type of person who lives with their phone. I swear that thing dies and am LOST. I have a power pack in my bag and more times than not have gone to use it and dummy here forgot to re-charge it!!!

So, we have the NOVA (Thanks the worlds above!!!!) it has a screen to tell the blondes like me how much power is left for charging and if in fact it needs charging!!! SO LOVE THAT!!!
****Really awesome that it was charged at 94% right out of the box....THANKS RIF6*********
More so I LOVE and I MEAN LOVE that I can charge two things at once. So, if my phone dies and so does my friend's I can be nice and charge theirs as well. Whereas before I only charged my own and allowed them to make a call off my mine.
The size is bigger than that of other power packs on the market, still this is compact enough to fit in a pocket or a backpack without fail. The fact other power pack don't charge two phones at once and this does, SO MAKES UP for the size difference!!! I'd choose this one again and again.



My one suggestion should they ever redesign this would be to make those little plastic plugs to cover the slots to prevent crumbs and such from getting in. Just a suggestion.
Otherwise, Amazing product...Easy to use....Great!!!!



This is only my opinion, based solely by the use of this product and no other. Should you come to another opinion, that's your own, hey I'm happy for you. I found we each have our own. I was in no way shape or form paid for this opinion. The product was provided at no cost to me to provide an HONEST opinion.

MY OPINION

Even Nannie figured it out...and she's in her 70's!!! I got this home charged it and hope I wouldn't have to put it to the test of actually using it. Well turns out I didn't need it first, Nannie did. Her phone DIED and she was waiting on a call from the doctors... We all know how doctors are when the call with important information, if they don't get you the first time you play tag trying to call them back. Well I told her to use this cool little power bank to give her phone that extra boost. At first she thought I was speaking alien with a new head spouting from my neck, but once I plugged her in and the phone came to life, it was if I change water into wine. The doctor called ten minutes later, all was good and now Nannie wants a Yellow Power Bank for Christmas. Because Blue clashes with her grey hair.

Personally I think it's great aside from all that. I love that I can charge the bank either from the wall or my computer. I can just toss it in my bag or car and have it ready anytime I need it. I can't count how many times I've needed one. My phone loves to start with a full battery and die within four hours. It's a amazing product and why better than that of what you'd find in Wal-mart's cheap aisle.


This product was supplied to me for an honest review. I have since bought Nannie her own Yellow one as I did really LOVE this product. I ask that everyone form this own opinion and only use mine as a guide. Feel free to ask me any questions.

Power Tek Flash Premium LED Headlamp Review



Power Tek Flash Premium LED Headlamp 


168 Lumens of Darkness Busting Power for Up To 110 meters of Visibility - MUCH BRIGHTER THAN THE #1 HEADLAMP ON AMAZON!
Up To 120 Hours of Battery Life on 3 AAA Batteries - Efficient Enough for Weeks of Use
Superbright CREE XP-E LED Lasts a Lifetime - Never Worry About it "Burning Out" - 6 Different Lighting Modes Including SOS and Red Night Vision Modes
Adjustable Super Comfortable Headband Allows Extended Use Without "Brain Squeeze"


Power Tek's new Flash headlamp offers the highest brightness you can get out of a compact LED headlamp.


Want a headlamp that is both your bedside reading light and bright running or camping light? Look no further as Power Tek offers unsurpassed value with its comfortable and durable Flash.



My OPINION


Overall Awesome!
This may sound weird, but I actually used my headlamp to cook by. Yep!! I put my headlamp on turn that bright light on and it totally lit up one whole side of my kitchen. Since my wonderful lights decided to take a plunge right during me cooking dinner, what's a girl to do?
The band itself is really soft compared to some I've felt before. I haven't had a need for the flashing red lights, maybe if I decide to go party it up somewhere I'll wear my headlamp and turn them on.
Honestly the lamp has worked great for what I've needed for...5 acres at night I can see the trash bins, my car, across the pond, the mailbox. I even was able to go check what the crazy noise was at 2 in the morning....darn possum!!!!
I might have to replace the batteries if I keep using mine so much, darn battery people need batteries that last longer!!!




I was provide this in exchange for an honest review...this is my opinion, please remember to form your own opinion on anything your choose to venture into :)

Power Tek Fire Talon Multi-tool Pocket Knife Review




Power Tek Fire Talon Multi-tool Pocket Knife

Heavy Duty Multi-Tool With 2 Built-in LED Flashlights - 1 On Each End!

Combo Knife, Spring-loaded Needlenose Pliers w/ Wire Cutters, Wire Strippers, Spring-loaded Scissors
Black Oxide Stainless Steel For Maximum Durability And Maximum Coolness Factor
Built-in Rubber Inlays In Handle For Sure-Grip And Maximum Handling Comfort
Comes with Nylon Sheath; One-year Manufacturer's Limited Warranty

In a perfect world, you'd only have to deal with DIY tasks in well-lit conditions.


But this is far from reality. How many times have you been stuck trying to make a repair in poor lighting? And it never fails... when you need to take care of a repair, the flashlight you keep in your toolbox has mysteriously disappeared.

Even if you locate your flashlight, there's the task of trying to shine the light on your work area with one hand while you make repairs with the other.

But what if you had a solution that required no extra hands... no juggling tools and flashlights trying to get the job done?

Fire Talon is the only solution that gives you a full range of essential tools AND a built-in LED flashlight on both ends to make performing repairs a breeze!


My OPINION

I have many and I MEAN MANY multi-tools, this one however is the first one with a built in light. I really like that. I've had the cheesy one with the flashlight that always breaks, but the push button...pretty sweet!
I really like the over all feel of it. It's got a nice weight to it...not really heavy, but by NO means light at all. I like how easy the tools come out. I'm not having to break a nail or cut into skin to try and get the tools out which is great.
The grip is nice, very easy to hold and work with in one hand. I've dealt with some that slip and are hard to hold so it's a welcome.
On comparison to that of a Gerber, I'd take the Power Tek.





This product wass provided to me in exchange for an honest review. This is MY OPINION of the product and it's performance. As always it's my OPINION, please form your own opinion of any product you use.
Thank you.

Portable Solar Charger Ultra-Efficient by SunLabz (13W) ~Review~


Portable Solar Charger Ultra-Efficient by SunLabz (13W)



Product Description

  • Double Solar Panel Charger (13W) with Voltage Stability Controller
  • High efficiency solar cells with 22% transfer rate
  • Direct charging (no battery) of two devices output to USB 5V
  • Folds into a thin and elegant protective case - Has a pouch designed to hold the charging device(s)
  • Perfect for charging your cell phone, digital camera, tablet, gps, mp3 player






MY OPINION
I actually love mine! I was a little bummed when I first got it home because of course as my luck would have it....it was freaking POURING DOWN RAIN!!! So, of course I had to wait until the sun decided to come out to use this awesomeness.

I'm no stranger to portable Solar Chargers. I actually already own the Goal Zero Guide 10 Plus Adventure Kit, so I had a lot to compare the two. I was pleasantly surprised. This felt lighter, operates at higher temperatures ( not that I really want to go play out in a desert, but if I had to....) Overall it even charged faster. Which given the price comparison really ticked me off cause this is freaking less than the Goal Zero!

It does make it nice for any BOB or to have in the car. I have bad case of not charging my phone and this was a total life saver when I was kinda stuck shopping with a flat tire and no jack. Don't ask where the jack walked off to I don't have a clue.
I totally recommend this to any one looking for a great portable charger. Great for prepping, hiking/camping or just making sure you keep a charge.



***This product was given to me in exchange for an honest review....this is ONLY MY OPINION ...as stated above, all views are my OWN and therefore any views you make are YOUR OWN*****

Waves Of Love by Lori Ann Mitchell `Spotlight`



Can love overcome an age difference of more than 10 years?

At thirty-two, Sage Drake has the world by the tail. She owns her own bookstore, in sunny Florida, and loves her work so much she lives in the apartment above the store. Then one day a young surfer strolls in, cadging free coffee and donuts from her little cafĂ©. His name is Derek Chambers, and he’s no regular surfer: he’s an author of a series of surfing travelogues, eager to do a book-signing or two at Sage’s store. She goes him one better by offering to host a series of writing workshops, with Derek as the star. In return, Derek offers to teach Sage – who’s never learned – how to surf. Will the two find love in the waves?

Abigail and the Sahara Adventure Review





This is a wonderful book about a girl named Abigail.
Abigail found a magical bicycle in her grandparents' old house, and this bicycle takes her to the magnificent Sahara Desert.
Who will she meet there? What will she discover?
This beginner reader’s eBook will inspire your kids to be open to new cultures, and be more curious and enthusiastic about exploring various places.
Your kids will enjoy full-color illustrations of Abigail and the desert life.



My Opinion

Sweet and cute is how I'd describe this story. I mean really a magical bike that can take you anywhere you want to go. What a way to spark the imagination of our young readers. It was a wonderful bedtime read. My little reader kept asking a million questions, mainly asking if her grandpa can make her a magical bike. Explaining the functions of that was a chore in itself.
Over all I really enjoy the writings of Tali Carmi and her children's books. I know that her books always have an underlining lesson to come away with. I know that the story is always engaging and the illustrations are bright and unique. Such a wonderful job.

Terry Treetop and the Lost Egg by Tali Carmi



This fun children's picture book is about a boy with red hair and freckles named Terry, yet everybody calls him Terry Treetop because he loves climbing trees.
Terry finds a small egg, and his quest is to bring it back home to its mom.

But where is the egg's home?

Does the egg belong to a turtle on the sand or a crocodile's spring water?
Did it come from a frog in a pond or a chicken in the wild?
Currently a FREE DOWNLOAD!!!!!!!

MY OPINION

I have fallen in love with the Terry Treetop series. They are truly a joy to sit and read to any child. The bright colors that pop off the screen and the way the characters are drawn really capture the child's attend from the beginning.
Then when you start reading it's like they hang on every word you say. They really want to know what is going to happen next. Seeing that in their faces, says how well a children book is written.
Whenever you can take a book and read it to a group of kids and know you haven't lost any of their interests and they beg you to read another Terry book, then it's great!!!!
Although, we did have to have a decision about not climbing the trees and touching eggs with this book. We all can't be Terry ...LOL
