Review: Prime Natural Good Night Essential Oil Blend


I had a chance to review this sleepy time essential oil blend and jumped at it. I'm evolving in the world of essential oils and love it. My goal is to use these oils in place of taking medications if at all possible. I have weaned myself of all my prescription drugs so far and only take 3 mg of Melatonin at night to help induce sleep. 

I was interested in this essential oil blend because I have been cursed with multiple sleep disorders. One disorder makes it very hard for me to fall asleep. I don't have insomnia but my sleep rhythm is disrupted. This is my first time using a Prime Natural oil and I really liked it. I have never used Doterra oils which this one is supposedly comparable to and I know the Doterra brand is very popular. This blend contains a few oils I have worked with before like Lavender Bulgaria, Clary Sage and Chamomile. This is my first time working with Balsam and Marjoram. The blend has a nice herbal scent and I can't really pick out one oil over the other. I like that this oil is 100% Natural, GMO free and contains no  synthetic chemicals. 

Normally I would place this type oil in a diffuser within the bedroom. I tried a little something different and placed one drop of oil in my CPAP water tank. I was able to inhale the oil through my mask. This helped me to calm the anxiety I have about sleep and settle down as well as fall asleep quicker. I think this essential oil blend worked great along with my CPAP therapy to get a more productive and restorative nights rest. I plan to use this often to help with sleep.

I received this item at a discount for the purpose of my review. All opinions are completely honest and 100% my own. As a reminder I encourage everyone using essential oils to research any precautions or warning associated with each oil. Some oils may conflict with certain medications or health problems.

Review: Oakleaf Copper Wire String Lights


I was selected via Tomoson to review the Oakleaf Copper Wire String Lights. I have been interested in this type of light for awhile now. A close friend of mine has some comparable to this set and I just loved how she decorated her bedroom with them. This is a two light set in warm white. OakLeaf carries multiple color options. I seen red, blue, green and purple just to name a few. 


This light is easy to work with. You can shape the copper wire to your taste. I like it best in a glass jar. The set comes already installed with a battery. The battery pack has an on/off switch. 


I had just purchased some mason type jars in red, white and blue before receiving this light set. I knew that the lights would be great for the jars. I enjoy being festive around each holiday. I now have the perfect Memorial Day decor and can also use on July 4th. I haven't decided what I will do with the lights after the summer holidays roll around. I think I will search for a round ball shape glass and use for decor in my bedroom.


This product is available on Amazon. If you are interested in checking it out or seeing what other colors there are to offer you can find it here:

Review: eShopMind Universal Cell Phone Clip Holder and Desktop Stand



#CellPhoneHolderStand


I was in serious need of a product that could help me out when it came time to record videos. As a member of Influenster you guys know we always sent on a mission to record an unboxing of our products. I kept finding myself leaning my phone on random things so I could record hands free. When I seen this product I thought it would work out perfect for my dilemma. I also am in love with the "bonus" desktop stand that comes with this product! 


I view a lot of recipes online and this stand is perfect for me to use in the kitchen while cooking. The case I'm currently using is a little bulky so doesn't fit down into the lip of the stand all the way. It still works great for my needs though as I just prop my phone on the stand. I use this item daily as I also place my phone on the stand while listening to iTunes while I wash dishes and such.


As far as the cell phone holder goes it is great for viewing videos and really helps when filming videos as well. The bracket clips easily on to my kitchen table and stays secure. The adjustable arm is so easy to maneuver. The clip that holds the phone works perfectly with my phone case. I am now able to film videos hands free for YouTube at my kitchen table. 


These two items have really came in handy. I feel they are great accessories to have to accommodate your cellphone. I did receive this item for free for the purpose of my review. As always my opinion is completely honest and 100% my own.

Review: SHIKSHOOK Premium Cocktail Shaker Set

#SHIKSHOOK
Shake Your Life


I was invited to review the SHIKSHOOK Premium Cocktail Shaker Set for free. I was interested in this product because I have many stainless steel items in my kitchen and this set matches perfectly. With the weather warming up this will be awesome for entertaining family and guest. This set appears to be of top notch quality. It is dishwasher safe making it very easy to maintain. The stainless steel is just gorgeous and this product comes with a Lifetime Warranty. I like that each item included in this set was individually wrapped with plastic to prevent scratching before use. So let's see what's in the box!


This set comes packed in a black velour bag making it great for gift giving. I have a wedding reception coming soon and I noticed on one of the wedding registries they are wishing for a cocktail shaker set. I may just have to purchase another one of these sets for my dear friend because this one is great! The velour bag also makes the set great for travel or easy storage. 


The Cocktail Shaker holds 25 ounces. The lid is equipped with a built in strainer and stamped with the brand name. If you have every made a drink before you know that the built in strainer is golden! The cap has engraved lines surrounding it and the SHIKSHOOK logo is embossed on top. This shaker works well and keeps the waste of liquid to a minimum. 


This set includes a Duble Jigger. One side measures out 1/2 an ounce and just turn over to use the 1 ounce. This helps to make the perfect drink because you are able to measure out the correct amount of liquor for any recipe. This Jigger is also stamped with the brand name. 


I know some don't care for measuring but love to eyeball so this set also includes two pourers which are also stamped with the brand name SHIKSHOOK. These fit both alcohol bottles and mixers helping to easily pour into the shaker, making the perfect cocktail. 

Last the set also includes an ebook containing 100 cocktail recipes. I haven't had a chance to check it out but I'm sure it's awesome. There are also 3 recipes located on the side of the box this set comes in. I am in love with this set as it makes a great addition to my stainless steel cookware and kitchen gadgets. SHIKSHOOK offers a lifetime guarantee on their product. In order to receive your ebook and warranty all you have to do is register as a VIP member. Registered customers also receive a monthly gift. I will have to update this post in a month's time to share with you my gift.

Review: Witches Protection Agency

#WPP


I received the book Witches Protection Agency for free for reviewing purposes. This was my first time reading a book by author, Michael Phillip Cash. I really liked his writing style as I felt this story included multiple genre's making this suitable for different taste. Completely entertained, I was able to finish this book in a couple of days. That says a lot coming from me who has an adventurous two year old running around.


This story starts out with main character Wes Rockville failing at his career in law enforcement unlike his father and brother before him. Rockville, unable to carry out a so called simple arrest of a little old lady was given a last chance effort to prove himself. His father known as Harris, placed him in a secret 232 year old organization called the Witches Protection Program making this his only chance to save his career. Wes Rockville was partnered with tough agent Alastair Verne. Wes was told about the secret life of witches and how they lived among the world unnoticed. He also learned that wicthes were separated into the good  known as Davina's and the bad known as the Willa's. His first gig as witch protector was protecting Morgan Pendragon, heir to Pendragon Cosmetics. This tale takes you on twist and turns as Morgan learns that Pendragon Cosmetics has plans for world domination being carried out by her beloved aunt and caretaker, Bernadette Pendragon. This is all I will divulge of this entertaining tale. You must read the rest!!!  


I enjoyed this book and loved how the author incorporated different genre's. It had a little supernatural,  some suspense, comedy and even a tid bit of romance. I'm in my 30's and this was a easy, fast read for me. I think this would also appeal to the young adults. I have a feeling this isn't the last we will hear of witch protector, Wes Rockville. I can see this character being part of a series. I recommend this book to anyone interested in tales of the supernatural! I also look forward to reading other titles by Michael Phillip Cash.

Review: ArtToFrames 20x16 Custom Photo Canvas Gallery Wrap

#ArtToFrames


I was invited by seller via Tomoson to review ArtToFrames Custom Photo to Canvas, Gallery Wrap. I accepted excitedly and received this item heavily discounted in exchange for my honest review. I had the perfect photo in mind of my daughter, that I randomly took with my cell phone, on a rainy day two years ago. I had intended to eventually have this photo blown up to put on our living room wall at some point but I thought the gallery wrapped canvas was a much better idea. This canvas photo print turned out way better that I expected. My husband and I loved it so much we already took both our girls out for a mini photo shoot hoping to catch the perfect photo to order us another canvas. Since taking this rainy day photo of my daughter more than two years ago I have had another little one and would love to have a canvas with both my girls.


The hardest part as a consumer of this product is picking out which photo to submit! It is easy to upload your photo directly to the site on Amazon. You are then able to preview and modify to your taste. My photo was one that I had posted to Instagram using their photo filters, over two years ago. I no longer had it saved in my phone so I simply copied my Instagram link back to my camera roll in my phone and submitted my photograph. This photo is a HD high quality print utilizing 12 inkjet printers for printing. It creates an incredible, eye popping print with vibrant colors. This canvas is handmade by stretching over a quality wood frame. There is a metal bracket already installed in the back of the frame so when you receive your canvas it is ready for hanging. My canvas is a 16x20 and the smallest offered by Art To Frames. They also have 5 larger sizes. My husband had me compare prices with Walmart of the 16x20 size, just out of curiosity. Art to Frames is actually $10 cheaper in the 16x20 and I'm willing to bet a much better quality. 


I recommend this canvas wrapped print to anyone wishing to enlarge a personal photo for their wall. This is great for your photographs or original artwork. I am in love with how personable this item is and we will cherish for year's to come. Also makes a great gift.

Review: Girls 18K Rose Gold-plated Seahorse Necklace Gift Package

#BoxMeNotJewelry



I received this item via Tomoson for free in exchange for my honest review. I knew this Seahorse pendant with necklace would be perfect for my six year old daughter. She loves all things pink and also collects jewelry. She was so excited when I gave her this necklace because she has plans for it. She loves to dress up and uses her imagination well. This piece of jewelry will fit along perfectly with a mermaid costume she owns. 


This necklace came gift packed in a pink velour shell shaped box. The pendant is two seahorses in a heart shape. Both seahorses contain sparkling white and pink crystals. The necklace and pendant both are made of 18K rose gold-plated alloy. It makes this piece have a pinkish hue which is gorgeous. The necklace is an 18" cable link chain. It has a lobster claw clasp with an extension that adds an adjustable length of 2 inches. I really like that this piece is nickel and lead free. This gift pack also includes a postcard explaining the symbolism of the seahorse. It states that a seahorse represents serenity, contentment, patience, persistence, and gentle strength. The seahorse also is a symbol of perceptiveness, giving it the ability to see all sides of a situation. These make for wonderful attributes indeed. 


I recommend this product for most any girl. The rosy pink hue of the seahorse pendant and necklace is a hit in my house. This item would make a beautiful gift!
