Atrico Rapid-Charging 6-Port Desktop USB Charger


#AtricoDesktop
I really like this Multi-Port Smart Charger by ATRICO that I got to try recently. It allows me to charge all my devices at once.

It has 6 ports total: 2 ports for smart devices, 2 ports for Apple and 2 ports for smartphones. 

It's relatively small and does not take a lot of space. It looks very sleek. It also comes with a rubber piece that you can stick to the bottom to keep it from sliding all over the place.

I like using it for my phone, tablet and camera. These three things are what I charge the most and seems like I'm always charging them. This charger charges pretty rapidly in my opinion. I plugged my kindle to it and it charged 3% every 5 minutes so it could charge 100% in about 2.8 hours.






I am pretty please with this product. I have had no problems with it so far and it is so helpful when I'm needing to charge my things. I can charge them all in one place instead of having them all over the house.

If you would like to learn more about this product or purchase it for yourself you can find it on Amazon. It currently sells for $24.95.

Some of it's features include:
  • 168 Lumen "High Beam" for a spot light that shines up to 110 meters

French Press Coffee and Tea Bundle by Kitchen Supreme


Being a coffee lover, I had always wondered what a french press was and how it was different than a regular coffee pot. Recently, I got to test one out by Kitchen Supreme.

A french press helps you achieve a creamy, foamy, velvety, and pure coffee and tea so they say. I wasn't sure if I was actually going to be able to tell much of a difference but I certainly did.

I've only tried the french press with coffee so far but I think it's neat that you can make tea with it also. I'm also a huge tea drinker so I'm looking forward to using it for tea soon.

#coffee


I feel as though the coffee was more rich and smooth when I used the french press versus my regular drip coffee pot and a lot less bitter. I loved all the flavors it brought out. I couldn't believe that I was not experiencing my coffee's full potential.

The process was fairly simple. The first time I used it was a bit time consuming because I didn't have my coffee grounds ground up before I started so I had to measure it all out first. But once I got everything prepared it was  quick and easy.

The first thing I did was fill the french press with hot water to let everything heat up, as it was heating up I put 4 cups of water in a microwave safe measuring cup and heated it until it was boiling. I then took it out and set it aside for about 30 seconds and in the meantime I dumped out the hot water that was sitting in the french press. Then I took 4 tablespoons of the ground coffee and put down in the french press and added the water I just boiled but just enough to cover the grounds. I then put the lid on and let it sit for 1 minute. After 1 minute I gently "stirred the bloom" or the coffee grounds on top being careful not to touch the sides of the french press. Then I poured the rest of the hot water in and put the lid back on. (You don't push the plunger down yet at this point) I then let it sit for 3 additional minutes. Afterwards, I pushed the plunger slowly down until I felt resistance. Once you do that, your DONE! I suggest pouring the coffee out into another pitcher or pot so that it doesn't get bitter.

The instructions seem complicated but trust me, after the first time it's a breeze!


This french press comes with:
  •  4 filter screens
  • 1 stainless still spoon
  • 1 coffee/tea scoop
  • Hard Copy instructions and Barista secrets
I felt that the instructions were very useful. I especially liked the Barista secrets.

Overall, I'm super impressed with this french press. It far exceeded my expectations and I will be using it A LOT!! 

If you would like to learn more about it or other products by Kitchen Supreme you can check out their website here. You can currently purchase this French Press on Amazon here for $29.84.

Teething Necklace and Bracelet by Beabies


My little one is teething and wanting to chew on EVERYTHING. I'm not much of a jewelery wearer myself but this teething necklace and bracelet is pretty nice and they keep the little one busy while I hold him.

They are made of 100% food grade silicon and BPA free, PVC free, Latex free, Rubber free and Lead free. It contains no vinyl, phthalates, plastic, nitrosamines, cadmium, or heavy metals. It is perfectly safe for little ones to nibble on although you would never want to leave your child unattended with them. 



They currently come in 4 different colors; Black, Grey, Pearl/White and Red available on Amazon. I didn't see the color I tried available for purchase unfortunately. 

I really love these because they are simple yet appealing to the little ones. They are so easy to clean too. Just run some soapy water over them, rinse and dry. That's it! Another reason I love these so much is because they are less of a hassle than other teething options. I've tried alternatives but it's not very fun when your out and about and you have to constantly be picking up teether's that your little one dropped and go clean them. I have done that so many times, over and over. With the teething necklace and bracelet you don't have to worry about that. 

If you would like to learn more about these or purchase one for yourself or as a gift you can find it here on Amazon for $20.97.

Perfectly Natural Soap by Foxbrim


#foxbrim
If your looking for an all natural and mild soap for face and body check this one out by Foxbrim.

It is 100% natural and 98% organic. It's free of fragrances, synthetics, preservatives and harsh chemicals. It offers a powerful yet gentle cleanse.

I was happy to try this out because I have sensitive skin and it can get dried out and irritated so easily. I love that this soap is made up of natural ingredients that are good for the skin. It has a good lather but it's very gentle and did not leave my skin feeling dry and itchy.

You can use this soap for face or body which makes it so versatile. I mainly used it on my face and hands. It worked very well. My face felt so clean after using it and did not irritate it one bit.



This soap does not have a fragrance to it but if you would like it to you can always add some essential oils. I actually added a bit of lemon oil to it and have been using it as a hand soap. It smells really nice.

Mommy's Time Out Wine in Delicious Pink


I absolutely LOVE wine. It helps me relax after a long day. I especially like to have a glass while soaking in a hot bubble bath. There is nothing better than that.

I got the opportunity to try out this Mommy's Time Out wine in Delicious Pink. First off, I love the name. I have two rambunctious boys and I have to agree that momma's need their time out too and what better way to spend it then with a good glass of wine.

I was especially fond of this wine because it had a very soft and sweet flavor. It had a very mild and palatable taste. It is a rose wine with fruity floral aromas and is great with or without food.

If you do prefer to have it with food, it goes great with chicken or fish.




I personally like it just by itself. Since it has such a soft and delicate flavor it's great to just sip on in my opinion.

Although I thoroughly enjoyed this wine, I did feel as though the flavor was lacking a little bit. It was almost too mild for my taste but just barely. The good thing is there are more flavors to choose from. If you look on the company's website here you can choose between Garganega Pinot Grigio, Delicious Red, Moscato and of course the one I tried, Delicious Pink. They also have a Dad's Day Off wine in the flavor of Chianti.

If your interested in learning more or purchasing a bottle or two for yourself check out their website that I linked above.

Ultra Curl Defining Cream with Argan Oil by Arvazallia


#ultracurlcream
I have another great Arvazallia hair product to talk about today. It is the Ultra Curl Defining Cream with Argan Oil. It comes in a 10.14 oz pump bottle as you can see in the picture.

This product utilizes an advanced premium curl activation formula that deeply penetrates and conditions wavy and curly hair to restore it's definition and activate curls.

It eliminates frizz and provides the perfect combination of hold, smoothing and shine to give you beautiful, healthy looking, bouncy curls. The combination of Argan Oil and Vitamin E nourishes your hair with essential vitamins and nutrients.

My hair is naturally wavy and curls very easy especially if I let it dry naturally. It also frizzes up when even the slightest amount of moisture hits it. It can be frustrating at times.




I really love using this cream because it helps your hair stay moisturized and smooths out the frizz. I noticed that when I used it and let my hair dry naturally my curls were more bouncy, silky and shiny. Oh and my hair smelled heavenly.

I'm very impressed with this product. It really brings life back to my hair and makes me want to go natural more often.

If you have wavy to curly hair I encourage you to check this product out. So far I have tried several hair products by Arvazallia and I have been pleasantly surprised by the salon quality of them. They work very well and leaves my hair feeling healthy. Also another plus is that the argan oil in this product can help reduce split ends and help maintain your hair's manageability.

If you are interested in learning more about this product or others like it you can visit the company website here. This product is also available for purchase on Amazon for $19.99.

Please note that I cannot guarantee that you will have the same results as me. Everyone will have their own unique experience and opinions when using this product.

Brillante Ultrasonic Pest Repeller for Electronic Home Insect & Rodent Control


#brpestcontrol
Have you ever heard or used one of these ultrasonic pest repellers?

It features electromagnetic technology to disturb pests hidden in walls and deter undesirable would-be invaders by slightly varying the electromagnetic frequency of the in-wall wiring without impacting other electronic equipment.

It targets mice, squirrels, bats, ants, roaches, mosquitoes and other pests.

It includes 4 functions. You have the choice of which ones to use or all of them.

It has a negative ion and O3 function to help eliminate odors and airborne pollutants and reduce virus and bacteria levels. 




It also has the ultrasonic sound wave function which is (intended to disturb and drive away pests with sounds outside the spectrum audible to humans).

There is also the electromagnetic field alteration (to repel in-wall insects sensitive to electromagnetic variations).

Coverage:  Ultrasonic function intended for use in a single room up to 6996 square feet. Additional units may be needed to target rodents in more than one room with ultrasonic sound waves. Negative ion and O3 functions intended for areas up to 861 sq. ft.

I live in an apartment so I'm not sure if that changes the effectiveness of it. I haven't really noticed that much of a difference so far but I'm definitely going to keep it running for safe measures. I really like the ion and O3 feature because I worry about odors and germs a lot since I have two small children. My husband also has allergies so I'm curious to see if it starts helping him especially as summer comes along. 

My apartment also has quiet a few spiders even though it supposedly get's sprayed. I haven't seen any spiders lately. They are worse in the warmer months so I will keep a lookout then to see if I notice a big difference. 

If you are curious about this product and want to learn more about it or purchase one for yourself you can find it on Amazon. It currently sells for $39.99 plus free shipping.

Sun'n'Fun Broad Spectrum Mineral Sunscreen for Kids (SPF 30)


#sweetsationtherapy
Summer time is coming up and that means long days in the sun. This can be brutal on the skin especially for kids. I have two of my own and I know how crucial it is to make sure that their skin is protected from the sun.

Here is a great sunscreen for the kiddo's. I absolutely love it myself! Even though I'm no longer I kid I find it very appealing and the smell...OMG!

This sunscreen smells like chocolate...yes CHOCOLATE!! It's kind of hard not to taste it. (I wouldn't recommend doing that lol) It's also tinted so that when you apply it, it doesn't leave that white cast to your skin.

Advanced Hair Repair Shampoo and Conditioner by Arvazallia


This is such a wonderful set of hair products! I am so excited to tell you about it.

I am very picky when it comes to my hair and the products that I use on it.

My hair is very thick and course. It tends to get really dry and brittle to the point it's almost unmanageable.

It wasn't until recently when I learned how beneficial Argan Oil and Macadamia Oil is for the hair.

I always steered clear of anything that said oil when it came to hair products. I always thought it would make my hair look oily and be hard to rinse out but that is definitely not the case. I'm glad I learned otherwise. 

The shampoo is sulfate and paraben free. You can tell the difference when you use it because it doesn't lather as well as most other shampoos. I was put off a little at first because I had been so used to shampoos that lather really well but then I realized that this shampoo is much more gentle yet very effective. I could tell the difference when I rinsed the shampoo from my hair. My hair felt moisturized like I had just put in conditioner. It was nice!

The conditioner is great too. It's light and takes a little bit to get through all your hair at least for me but like I said I have very thick hair. My hair felt soft and silky when I rinsed the conditioner out.

With just using the shampoo and conditioner my hair felt and smelled so good. It had a nice shine too it and it felt silky soft.

One thing I did notice is that my hair got pretty oily after a couple of days of not washing. Usually when I wash my hair it doesn't do that before my next wash. I'm not sure if it's because of the added oils in the product or what. It didn't bother me too bad though not enough to discontinue using the products.

The hydrating argan oil mask was a nice plus. It really upped the moisture and softness in my hair. I really liked the results from just using the shampoo and conditioner but I can see myself using the mask at least once a week or if my hair has been exposed to the elements and get's extremely dry. The mask really helps. It makes my hair so much more manageable and less frizzy looking.

I highly recommend these products by Arvazallia. They are salon quality and effective on all hair types.
