Cross Necklace

This necklace is from Hip Hop Bling.  http://www.hiphopbling.com/3mm-cz-tennis-cross-bling-bling-stainless-steel.html  #blingblingcross #blingbling #hiphopjewelry The stone are a clear cubic zirconia that are laid out in the shape of a simple cross. The necklace is made of a good quality and the stone sparkle at the same level of an actual diamond. The pendant is pretty dainty for being accompanied by such a large chain.  I feel like this necklace is more geared to a woman. From its size it has a very feminine size. It is lightweight hanging around the chain. It goes with just about anything. I like that it is very versatile. I really like the amount of sparkle that it gives of makes it a statement piece. The materials that the necklace is made out of are of a higher quality. I really liked the pendant. It is a good size and the stones have a lot a clarity to it. I did find the chain too long. The chain had the pendant hang under my boobs. I think I...

Office Time

I tried out the Office Time application. They offer it for windows, iphone, ipad, iwatch, and mac. It allows you to clock working hours for different projects which is great for those who work from home or own their own business. The software is designed for time tracking. The software is knows when you are away from the computer. It informs you of how long you were away and allows you to allot that time to another project or your current project. You are also able to track your expenses through the application. It also will compile your invoices for you.  The app also allows you to make graphs to show how you use you time typically throughout the day. I think this helps with your productivity. I liked that I was able to see typically how long I was spending on any given project throughout the day. It helped me figure out if there was anything I was able to change to make my productivity better and improve my job performance.  I found the application very eas...

Bumble Road: Bath Bombs

These are Bumble Road's Bath Bombs. They can be found on Amazon  http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B072C7ZP3W . This is a set of 4. They are all uniform in size and upon opening the package they all smelled so good. I had a hard time trying to decide which one to try first. The first one is lavender.  The second one is rose. The third one is grapefruit. The fourth one is orange. I was not able to decide which one I liked the most when I had given all of them a try. I liked the dried flowers and Epson salts that were in them and I found the shea butter to be great on my skin.  I received this product at a discounted rate in exchange for and honest review. #BumbleRoad #NextLevelBath

Saif Dae: Trump Pen Holder

This is the Trump Pen Holder by Saif Dae. It can be found on Amazon at  http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B071YLYNB2 . As you can see he is down on his hands and knees. On the the front of the base it says "Putin Trump" and on his iconic hat it states "Make Russia Great Again." You can also see him with his mouth wide open. On the one side, the base states "Made in Jhina." This is for how he pronounces the word China. You can also see that his pants are partially pulled down to show his butt crack. Right below the crack is a hole where the pen goes in. On the other side, the base states "Paid by Mexican." On the back of the base it states "Impeach Me." I think that this pen holder paperweight is pretty inappropriate. I do not think it is right to be showing this as a representation of our president no matter what we think of his judgement calls. You can think of him this way but is this how you want ...

QR Cups Truth or Dare

I received a new product a few weeks ago in exchange for an honest review. These are a twist on the red solo cups that you typically use for a party. They come in a sleeve of 25. They are for a twist on a old time tradition game that is a staple at most parties for people of all ages. This game is geared to adults because of the use of alcohol and physicality. These are a one time use game, but seems like it can add some instant fun to a party. Each cup has a red exterior and a white interior. On the cup is printed a QR code that you scan with your phone. The instructions are to sit in a circle and you start with someone scanning the cup of someone else in the group you cannot scan your own cup.  They give you a hint that when picking a spot in the group sit in between two people that you don't mind getting a little physical with.  Also everyone gets one pass in the game. Some of the dares looked like this when we played: These...

Reading Kingdom

Reading Kingdom is a supplemental program which allows kids to have a fun way to practice their reading and writing skills with fun little games. The program is geared towards kindergarten through third grade. My little sister, Cheyenne, took part in this program. She enjoyed the games that they had and she thought that it helped, but she thought that it would be difficult for really little kids. She also thought that kindergartners would have trouble with the typing part since they tell adults not to help the children. She said that it was pretty easy to follow with their instructions.  I liked that they showed that progress that they were making in a report card. The card lays out how they are doing in various sections of the program, so you and your child has an idea on what they can improve on in the future as they continue to follow this program. By going to  http://www.ReadingKingdom.com  you can find out all about the program and se...

Neither my boyfriend nor I are vegans, but we thought many of the recipes sounded very good.

HSI Professional: Glider

I straighten my hair on a daily basis. I have been doing that since I was eleven. I had the opportunity to try out HSI Professional Glider in exchange for an honest review. I liked how fast it heated up. I also liked how hot the straightener got because I have very thick hair. I just need to watch how much hair I try to straighten at once because the more hair you use it starts to cool down, but that tends to happen with any straightener. https://www.hsiprofessional.com/collections/straightening-flat-irons-for-hair/products/ceramic-flat-iron-straightener?variant=839318175

Sun Craft: Insulated Water Bottle

This is the 25 oz Insulated Water Bottle by SunCraft. It keeps hot drinks hot and cold drinks cold. I use it when I'm at work and I find that it keeps my water as cold as when I pour it in the morning (8 am) to when I'm done work at 5 pm. I really like the color of this water bottle. The one in the photos is mint. It has a bit of weight to it since it is metal. I like the sun that is on the water bottle and lid. This water bottle can be found on Amazon by following the following link  http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B06ZYWY5TN I received this product at a discounted rate in exchange for an honest review.

Rally Roll

I just tried out this really fun and easy game. It's called rally roll and all you need is at least two people. The game is pretty simple to learn. You hold all of the die and roll them at once. The color on the larger die is to match up to the smaller die. Whichever ones match you add them up. Then you may continue your turn until either you get a zero or you choose to stop. When you roll and get a zero your turn automatically ends and you get zero for your whole turn. If you choose to stop then you add up all of your points from that round. Whoever gets to 50 points first wins.  My little sister beat me 2 - 1 The game can be found at  http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01N29IJZE . The rules are posted below.

Player's Choice

 I received a game in the mail from Player's Choice in exchange for an honest review. The game came in plastic wrap. Upon opening I did notice that the game case was cracked, but the game and manual were in tact. The game worked well and appeared to be unscratched.  My boyfriend, Ryan, really enjoyed the game and has been playing it since it came in. He enjoys the graphics and the mascots.  The service seems like a good place to find games especially for older systems. I mean I do still have my PlayStation 2 and Nintendo Game Cube.  They can be found at  https://www.playerschoicevideogames.com/pd-ncaa-march-madness-2007-xbox-360.cfm #Marchmadness2007

Smart & Easy: iPhone Camera Lens Kit

I thought the case was very nice and seems sturdy. It came with a lens wipe and five lenses.
