Keyboard Wrist Rest with Mouse/Wrist Pad

Keyboard Wrist Rest with Mouse/Wrist Pad
You can find it Here.
#CushionCare



 

CushionCare Memory foam keyboard wrist rest with mouse pad wrist rest. 

Let me just jump right in here, because sometimes I struggle to find the right words to start. So I will just go with the flow. Do I like this.. maybe? yes? I suppose. That really is how I feel about this set. Ages ago, and I do mean ages ago I used to work in a wire harness shop. I ran hundreds of miles of wire working for that place. I also developed carpal tunnel syndrome. If you do not know what it is, you are lucky. So anyway ever since then whenever I do a lot of computer work I get sore and inflamed wrists that just ache. 



Handy dandy little devices such as the keyboard wrist rest is supposed to help eliminate this issue. It is supposed to put your wrists at a supported angle.  So again.. do I like it? Yeah I kind of do. I do not
have a mouse. So I use that mouse pad and support to rest on when I am scrolling thru web pages on the touch screen. As for the long strip that is supposed to go on the computer, not so much. It seems a little soft/empty to me. Like it needs to be filled more. That would be a good way to describe it. So in that aspect I think it is just ok. 

What do you think? Do you use one of these wrist rests when you are on a computer. 

And on a lighter note.. I keep wanting to type "wrist wrest" and it cracks me up.

Safety Lights

Safety Lights 
You can find them on Amazon Here.
#thebrightoutdoors





Safety lights. Safety lights that pack a punch more like it! These two safety lights are USB rechargeable, utilize LED lighting, are water resistant and have four modes of operation. But do not let the small size of these lights fool you. For what they lack in size they make up for in brightness. 

This two pack of safety lights comes with everything you will need. It includes two of everything. Two lights, two charging cords (which btw are micro usb to usb, so they also fit my Samsung Galaxy S4 phone), two velcro bands, and two silicone straps. 

The front of the light, on both lights, is a slightly frosted/clear white color casing. The back has the attached holding clip. The USB charging port is at the bottom device under a black rubber tab.

The 4 modes of operation on each safety light are 1) solid white 2) blinking white 3) solid red and 4) blinking red. To turn the lights on you push the center of the clear casing on the front of the light. To switch between the light modes you then double click/push the same button (the center of the clear plastic casing). 

So where are we using the safety lights? I have one on the trailer behind my bike. And there is one safety light on the back of my sons bike. We use them the most on evening bike rides. 

I like them because they are so small and lightweight. However I wish they were just a little bigger. Or that they had two white and two red lights per device. 

What do you think you would use these safety lights for?

These lights were purchased at a discount to test and give an honest review.

Stainless Steel Tea Infusers

Stainless Steel Tea Infusers
You can find them Here.
#CentiMom




Amazon seems to have eaten my review on this one, or it is quite possible with all the glitches lately that it is stuck somewhere in Amazon cyber space just floating around.

Anyway, this review is on these CentiMom loose leaf stainless steel tea infusers with drip lids and spoon. This is quite the little package here. You have everything that you need all in one set, all from one really great seller.

The set includes three sizes of tea infusers. Each one has a lid with attached weighted chain, and a drip lid. The chain has an open ended hook with a weighted medalian to keep it securely on the edge of your mug or pitcher. No more fishing strings from your tea! The largest of the tea infusers has this etched design in it. A cute face.

When you are finished brewing your tea to the perfect strength for you, you can take out the infuser and have a worry free place to set it. Same with the spoon. No finding a napkin, or setting it down on a public table to pick up who knows what.

The whole set is easy to clean. A simple warm soapy water will do the trick. If you forget to empty your tea and some dries on, just let it soak a bit. It will come right off pretty easily.

Overall this is a high quality stainless steel tea infuser set. The craftsmanship is spot on. I would recommend this to anyone who drinks a lot of tea or likes to have fruit infused beverages.

What Night? Funny Wine Glass

What night? Funny wine glass
You can find it Here.
#GotMeTipsy



Nice quality funny wine glass. The glass construction is great. It is crystal clear. The printing on the glass is clear, even, level, and easy to read. I wish the font was slightly bigger, but that is not a deal breaker at all. When using the glass with a white wine the printing is a little hard to see. It reads easiest with darker wines. This glass would be a nice gift to any wine drinker.

Exfoliating Cloth

http://onereviewingmamma.blogspot.com/2016/02/exfoliating-cloth.html Exfoliating Cloth by GreenHeartLabs
As always, find it Here.
#Greenheartlabs



So very recently I had the pleasure of receiving an exfoliating cloth. For those of you that do not know what one is yet, it is quit simply just what it sounds like. A long piece of material, preferably sewn along the edges, made of a coarse material.

This particular one came to me in a gray/black exotic animal print. I admit, I did not measure the length of the material. I had every intention of measuring the length, but I seem to have lost my tape measure so I kept forgetting. Anyway it is long enough to comfortably hold both ends and use to wash/massage your own back. With this particular cloth I would have to say it is closest to loofah material, but weaved much closer.

I am actually really glad this exfoliating cloth came to me when it did. Not long ago I started (another review item) using argan oil shampoo. Ever since then it has made my back breakout like crazy unfortunately. Using the exfoliating cloth after washing my hair has helped a bunch. I can start to see a visible difference and it has not been that long. Yah! I have also started to use it on my legs to help with shaving. I REALLY want to try something like that "nono" I see on tv because I am loathing shaving for multiple reasons now.

Overall I would say this is a pretty useful item to have hanging around in the shower. As for durability.. we will see. I will update if/when something changes. I am hopeful that it will last longer than my loofah poufs.

Unisex Baby Bandana Bibs

Unisex Baby Bandana Bibs
You can find them Here
#LCBandanas


Cute and super soft baby bandana bibs.

This set comes in a 4 pack. Each bib is individually wrapped, and then all 4 are in a bag together. Definitely wash prior to the first use as they had a plastic/chemical like smell to them. It was probably from the packaging though.

These bibs have serged edges and snaps in the back. They are on the thinner side of bandana bibs, but there is nothing wrong with that. They probably are not best for food clothing protection, but rather light drooling or spit up clothing protection.

 I was provided these baby bandana bibs at a discount to test and give my honest review. I have no relationship with the seller.

Handheld TENS Unit

Handheld TENS Unit
You can find it Here.
#Tensunit



I absolutely love this unit. I was a bit wary of just how it would work because of its size and that it takes 4 AAA batteries. However I was pleasantly surprised by the power this little handheld unit puts out. I am just tickled by the fact that it has 2 channels/ outputs. So you can either have 2 people using it, 2 different areas, or 4 pads in one area. It also has 1-10 levels. I have never gone above a 4, and at the 4 I just tried it and had to go back down. My typical number is a 2 or 3 depending on my pain level that day. Now I've had 6 children without pain meds, so I know pain. I'm not just a wimp by not being able to go above a 3 for regular use. 

 My only real gripe about this is that the leads do not last long at all. The unit comes with 4 2x2 wired pads. one set (2pads) only lasted me 2 days max. I was really hoping to be able to get more use out of them than just 2 days. And that is 2 days with approximately 4 hours of use per day. I have ordered more 2x2 pads, and also got some 2x4 pads and some gel. Hopefully these new pads with the gel will last longer. On a positive note it is really easy to find replacement pads for the machine. Just remember to get wired leads and not the snap ones. Big difference. 

Pro 
Easy to use 
Simple design 
1 - 10 levels 
Adjustable settings for specific areas 
Digital readout 
Easy to find replacement pads and other products on amazon 
Excellent price for what the machine is capable of doing. 
A+ value. 
Batteries last quite a while 
Lightweight 

Con 
The pads do not last long. 
I wish there was a longer session timer than 15 minutes. 

 Overall I find this to be a quality product. It is durable, customizable to an extent, lots of adjustments available, lots of level choices. It is about the size of universal T.V. remote, so a bit longer and not very wide.

I was provided this TENS unit complimentary to review and give my honest opinion of the product. I have no relationship with the seller.

Cutielunch Reusable Food Pouches

Cutielunch Reusable Food Pouches
You can find them Here.
#cutielunchhomemadebabyfoodstorage


Another set of food pouches. My kids just LOVE when these sorts of things come to the house.

So the nitty gritty... They are similar to the store ones. Same concept, except these are reusable. They are clear with white screw on tops and a zipper sealed bottom. I did not try juice with these like I did the other bags. Just didn't think of it. So I have no idea how these are with liquids. As for pureed foods. Spot on. They work great and the kids love them. They are the perfect size for keeping the kids occupied in the car on rides. Freeze them for a semi frozen treat on hot days.

The one thing I was not really hot on was that because the bags are clear you can see exactly what is in them. Not the best when you have kids that are visual eaters and they do not like the color or look of the texture. Might not be a big deal to other kids. Our household would prefer a solid bag instead of a clear one.

Gloryfeel Probiotics

You can find these Here.
#GloryfeelProbiotics



I'm not sure I noticed much difference. But then I have not had any negative side effects either. So for now I think it could just be keeping things regulated to my usual "normal". These are pressed probiotics, not like typical capsules. Nothing wrong with that design, it is just different. They appear to be lightly coated with a clear substance. Which is probably so they are not dissolved in humid conditions, your mouth, or stomach asap since I believe these are meant to be extended released.

 I received these free to test and give my honest review. I have no relationship with the seller.









All Seasons Baby Carrrier

All Seasons Baby Carrier
This one you can find Here, however I am NOT, I repeat, NOT recommending this carrier.
#Dealzip




I received this carrier to review. However this is not one that I can recommend to ANYONE. There is NO way that this even can be used for a newborn. Even though it says so in the title, DO NOT do it. It is NOT newborn safe at all. I have a lot of babywearing experience and this is not a carrier I can even get comfortable in. I have given this many tries over the past month or so, with my baby and
toddler. Neither could I get this comfortable with or safe feeling. I was told that you can do back carries with this... again DO NOT attempt. NOT safe. The seat is just too narrow to be safe. The
buckles are regular buckles and not safety ones.

Also the back/waist strap has two buckles.. it is kind-of difficult to use when in a hurry because it is best if you make sure that pad is in the center of your back.




Now I know this looks like a "crotch dangler" and it essentially is for the most part. What is different is that the seat is not like other carriers. The seat area is a pocket that holds a foam piece, it feels just like what bicycle helmet foam is made of. It is hard, yet lightweight. That piece makes it less like a crotch dangler and more of a rigid seat. Now while that may seem like a good thing, I found that because of the seat it is very hard to get the position right. My children always were squished forward, were uncomfortable, and hated it.

Now this isn't all a total bust. I like the fabric print, I think the fabric is an appropriate kind also. I was given the orange fabric/arrow print.

Pro
Nice fabric color/designs
Padded straps
Multiple pockets to hold items

Con 
No safety buckles
The seat is way to small
Not adjustable enough
Not for back carries
Cannot be used with newborns like the title suggests, nor would I use it with a 3 month old like the listing suggests. 6 months of age would be the absolute MINIMUM age I would even attempt to use this carrier with.
Does not come with ANY instructions and when I contacted the seller I was given a canned response and directed to the listing.

Overall I cannot recommend this to most parents. There are several safety issues I have with this carrier. I do believe that this is a good start to a carrier design. If the company would be willing to make some changes I believe that this could become a really nice and well functioning carrier for the general public.
