Wonderful Set of Kitchen Tools


These tongs are great! Good quality and fun red color. I was happy that I could get three separate tongs in this pack plus a spoon rest too. I often find I need a couple of tongs in the course of serving a meal or cooking and being able to get three of them for this price was wonderful. The silicone spoon rest has been very useful for keeping the "gunk" off my stove as I work and I love that I can toss it in the dishwasher later to clean IT rather than having to scrub at my stove.

The three tongs included are a noodle one, a flat one, and a rounded tip one. I like using the rounded tips for salad and the flat one for turning meat or serving meat.I have found the silicone to be strong and able to pick up heavier cuts of meat but also soft enough not to damage my non-stick cookware. I also appreciate that the silicone runs up the side of these tools which serves a dual purpose of keeping them cool to the touch as well as making them easy to grip while working. All three tools open and close smoothly and have a locking feature when the loop is pulled. This handy feature helps them fit well in my tool caddy on the counter.


I also appreciate that these are dishwasher safe. I hate washing dishes and usually load everything in anyway. They faded a tiny bit after the first washing, but nothing that changed their effectiveness. The bright red color compliments my brown and gold kitchen well and gives that pop of color that is fun and makes them easy to find.

I received these tools at a discount for my honest review. I would honestly pay full price tho because this is a great set for the price. And I have always wanted more than one pair of tongs in my kitchen.

Anti Aging Skin Care Serum for Men & Women From Uptown Cosmeceuticals




This is a great product. I think for me, the thing that stood out was the phrase intelligent antioxidant and really the list of ingredients shows that. There are essential oils and other natural ingredients that make me feel like this product is super safe for my skin. I am fighting signs of aging and so this product jumped out at me as a possible option to slow that process. And this product delivers!! I was very pleased that within a few days, my skin was noticeably softer and smoother and seemed less porous. This product takes anti aging to a different level. Instead of just reversing what is, it began healing my skin and making it not just look younger but overall make it healthier. I noticed my dark spots were a little lighter after a week and even after a couple of days, my skin looked clearer and felt soft and refreshed.

This product is very smooth and comes out in a serum like consistency. I wasn't sure it would be moisturizing enough since it seemed a little thin, but after applying it to my face, it rubbed in smoothly and spread easily. I was left with a very lightly moisturized feeling and little need for any other moisturizer except sun screen. I highly recommend this great product. My skin feels better and looks better. My makeup goes on easier and I think the price for this product is really fair considering how well it worked. It is much more affordable than other anti-aging products out there and I feel like it is much more natural and actually safe and healthy for my skin. My husband was also excited because this product is for men and woman! He wants to use it as well for this next week.

I received this product at a discount for my honest and unbiased review.
