This week I tried the Topical Deer Antler Velvet Serum by Pure Velvet. Just as a warning this product is very oily so you will want to wash your hands after and it has a strong smell from the extracts and oils. This serum is used to increase the range of motion and soreness of muscles. I have been using this after going to the gym and I have found that it has been helping to keep some of my problem muscles from getting stiff and sore. I am going to continue to try this while I get back into the swing of working out. Here is a picture of the serum after I have shook it up. The serum has a natural separation, so it has to be shook well before each use. I'm not sure is this is what it should look like or not, but I can confirm that I did shake it very well.  This product can be purchased at  https://www.purevelvetextracts.com/collections/frontpage/products/topical-deer-antler-velvet-serum I received this product for free in exchange for an honest review.

This week I tried the KetoPower Boost by HealthyGen. These pills are exposed to help get you into ketosis faster and use fat for energy. The pill is exposed to also help by boosting energy, manage hunger and support your metabolism. I have been taking these for a week now and I have also been going to the gym. I am starting to see some results on the scale. I am excited to be getting some weight off I still have about 135 lbs to go before I get to my goal weight. I have also been less hungry this past week, so I guess the pills are actually working.  The container comes with 60 pills and the dosage is 2 pills each day. Above is an image of the ingredients in the pills. They suggest on the bottle in order to get the best results you are exposed to take the pills 20-30 minutes prior to eating.

This Tobacco Pipe Kit from Whitluck's House of Pipes I feel is a good beginner pipe set. My husband smoke pipe tobacco on occasion and he feels like this kit is a good bang for your buck. It comes with just about everything that you will need minus a lighter and the tobacco flavor of your choice.  My husband has been using this pipe for the past two weeks now and he said that it is quality made and that you can tell by the weight of the wood. The pipe itself is holding up well and he likes having the stand to keep it from getting damaged. He also said that the stand is nice so he will not loose the pipe in the house.

I enjoy having tea during my work day since I hate the taste of most coffees. I received this stainless steel tumbler with slider lid from Link It to try for free in exchange for an honest review. I filled the cup and prepared my tea around noon. Then at my 1 pm lunch it was too hot to drink so I had to take the lid off so it could cool down some. Once at a drinkable temp I put the lid back on and it stayed fairly warm until around 3 when I was finished drinking it. The cup also come with two reusable metal straws and a cleaning brush for them. I have also found this cup to be very easy to clean and use everyday at work and home. It is a great on the go cup. *** 40% discount code for the 20 oz black color only: 40SAVESNOW ***  This is the same one that is in the picture and can be found at www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08192KWPT #LinkitAdventure

This is the magnetic wooden fishing game by Petitoy. This game is pretty much whatever you want to make it for different age levels. For younger kids you can have them lay out the letters in order or tell you what the letter is. Then you can have the give a word or animal associated with that letter. They can also be used on the fridge to spell out words, but keep in mind there is only one of each letter in the game same goes for the numbers. Speaking of numbers there are sea animals with numbers on them. You can have your kids as they catch them tell you what number is on the magnet or add the ones that they caught together or tell you what animal is on the magnet. The game comes with two magnetic fishing poles that you can see in the photo.  Here is a better photo of some of the magnets with the fishing pole. Also the game comes with a bonus cognition puzzle game. The cards are all double sided and your kids can match the letter to the corresponding animals.  This game is available

I love dream catcher! They have been very popular in the past few years and I like all of the different styles that they come out with. What drew my eyes to this one was the doily that has been incorporated into the dream catcher. If you follow me on Instagram @knit.n.stitch you will see that I am very into knitting and cross stitching. So anything to do with my hobbies immediately draw my eyes to it. I also love the white feathers with light wood color beads that hang from the dream catcher. As you can see in the picture below the dream catcher compared to other paintings that I have on my wall in my office/craft room. I find this dream catcher to be a good size and would go nicely on a wall by itself or in a collage with dream catchers of variety of sizes. Here you are able to see the size of the dream catcher next to some medium sized paintings. This shot of the dream catcher allows you to have a better shot of the feathers and the little light wooden beads that are hanging from t

I received the MySmile Teeth Whitening Kit to try out. I found their ordering process very easy and the item arrived quickly. That being said when it arrived it came in this little box with a sleeve around it.  When you open the kit up this is what is inside. It comes with the applicators already filled, the LED light and a mouth tray. It does come with easy to follow directions so you do not need to be alarmed if this is your first time whitening your teeth. You will also receive this little card in your kit so you can track the change in your teeth's color. I sat in front of a mirror and figured out that my teeth fall around an 11 on their scale. I like many other drink coffee, dark colored soft drinks and wine which all stain my teeth.  After Before The before shot is a photo the day that I started and the after photo was from the yesterday. I can see that my teeth are whitening up. I think though since my teeth were such a high number I will have to do another round of teeth w
