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.

Essential Oil Diffuser Vaporizer, MOKOQI®...

This is a great diffuser! I was surprised when I opened it and noticed the small size. It would easily fit on a windowsill or a small bit of counter space. I actually really liked this feature. I am rather a diffuser guru! I love them and have several. But this is by far the easiest to accommodate on my counter and not take up much space. So many of my others feel bulky and take up much space. But regardless of the size, this little diffuser is mighty! I was so pleased that it has two features to cause either intermittent mist (30 seconds on and 30 seconds off) or a steady stream of mist. The mist is very full and pleasant and fills a room quickly. I also love the color changing option of this diffuser. It adds a fun factor and a calming interplay of lights that my little son loves. I would definitely purchase this diffuser again especially since it is a great size to put in any room. I received this diffuser at a discount but the opinions and excitement are all mine!

Fantastic Anti Aging Product


I have been using this product now for about 3 weeks and I must say I am really excited about it! I knew being a Paula's choice product, it would be backed by excellent research and also be a high quality product. But it still exceeded my expectations. First off, this product is easy to use and incorporate into my routine. It doesn't take long to apply and I often just added it to my moisturizing step in my routine. When I started using it, I had some fine lines and wrinkles and even a bit of uneven tone in my face. That is always something that frustrates me, but I settle for clean, healthy skin. But with this product, things changed. Over the course of about four days, I started noticing a huge difference in my skin. Not only was it more youthful looking and the fine lines started disappearing, but my tone became more youthful as well. I felt like I was going back to the skin of my high school years. My skin was radiant and soft and over all it was a complexion I usually only achieved wearing makeup and then I would just look like I was wearing makeup! But this product enabled me to run to the store or even have a lunch with friends without worrying that I had applied my makeup with care. I looked so great when I woke up in the mornings and overall, it really felt like this healed my skin more than just covering things up. I am really excited about this product. I expected to be pleased, but more than that, it has exceeded my expectations in giving me back years in my skin and making me feel more youthful, vibrant and carefree. Although I received this product to try for free, I will be purchasing it on my own in the future. I don't want to give away this new lease on my skin and this new healthy face I can put forward. Thank you Paula's Choice and BzzAgent for the opportunity to try this fantastic product.

Delicious and natural gourment Cheese - Arla Dofino


I am so excited about Arla Dofino cheeses. This is a natural and amazing way to bring more cheese into the house! I don't appreciate processed cheese and the way it isn't as healthy as natural cheese, but with this cheese, I get the best of both worlds - it is natural and yet it is soft and spreadable on crackers and easy to use in recipes. It melts well and I have found that every single one of the types is a family favorite! How often does that happen?? My husband loves each flavor and my son even loved most of what we tried - and he is only two. I appreciate as a mom that it is hormone free and natural but has the consistency of a processed cheese and that is something my son loves. So thank you Arla Dofino for having a vision beyond the cheese that is currently available to purchase! You have found a place in our home permanently! I received this for free to try from BzzAgent but the opinions and excitement are all my own.

Coppertone Completely Sheer and Amazing!



I have been using these products for a month now and I am quite pleased. The main complaints I hear with sunscreen are too greasy, makes you breakout and hard to apply. The new Completely Sheer line of Coppertone Sunscreen products addresses these concerns and makes for a completely better sunscreen experience. I started with the completely Sheer for Sunny days bottle and was pleased that the scent (and it is really just a scent, not a fragrance) was understated and not gender specific! That is perfect for getting my son and husband to wear it. It really did absorb quickly and with no greasy feel. The texture was smooth and creamy as you can see in the picture here and I was really pleased.



I also applied it to my face and it quickly absorbed and left my skin matte and healthy looking. No grease and no pimples! And this was true after a week of wearing it every day much to my relief. I know I need sunscreen on my face but often avoid it due to fear of pimples. This product solved that problem for me. I also used the spray from this collection when I was heading out to the pool. Again, I loved the scent - nice and not very "sunscreeny" which was a huge plus. It applied very quickly and evenly which was really great. I hate taking the time to get every area of my legs and arms and back and still burning in places. This product was thorough, quick and even. I was amazed how fast I was done and on my way to the pool.



Both products worked well and gave me what I needed without creating a greasy nasty feel. I am very pleased and am now purchasing these products as a regular part of my routine for the day. I appreciate that coppertone produced two new products so that I can choose the best one for the day. There truly is nothing like these on the market. I received the products from Bzzagent but the excitement and opinions are all my own.

Paula's Choice Skin Perfecting Liquid



My skin has always had issues with uneven tone and small patches of acne. I was excited to use this product because the claims were that this would help banish those negative things and make my skin really clear. After using this product for several weeks, it really did seem like my skin was glowing and much more even in tone. Small patches of acne also cleared up. I really felt like my skin looked younger and more fresh and clean. I hope to keep using this product and continue to see improved skin and skin that stays looking great with the changing seasons. Thank you Paula's choice and Bzzagent for the chance to try this fantastic product.
