#Anbers 4-Piece Kitchen Colorful Vegetables Basin, Rice Washing Sieve

I found a cool new kitchen product that I have never seen before.  It's kind of like a bowl and a colander mixed into one!  I got this basin from Amazon.  

You get 4 of these, they come in very rich and vibrant colors.  They're much larger than I thought they would be!  Plenty big enough to fit a lot of fruit or veggies.  

I also like using this for my pasta!  When a recipe says to "set the pasta aside", I pour the pasta into one of these and leave it in the sink.  There are no drain holes in the bottom, so no need to worry about any germs in the bottom of the sink getting into the bowl.   

These are a really nice;  thick and sturdy and well made.  I plan on keeping 2 of them and giving 2 away as gifts.   Makes a great gift, for sure nobody I know has one of these.  Drain holes are small enough to work with rice too.  Great product!

Best Valentines Day gift ever! Check it out!

Last year I got the most unique Valentine's Day gift!  Have you ever heard of Marimo pets?  

  • Marimos are the unique plants which look like a green ball. According to ancient Japanese folklore, the Marimo symbolizes love in its purest form. The unacceptable love of a tribal chief's daughter for a commoner forced the young couple to run away from the village. In an effort never to be found and separated, the lovers metamorphosed into what is now known as Lake Akan's Marimo, where they dwell together for eternity.


 Isn't that the best story!  This little gift set comes with a heart shaped glass bottle, glass beads, red sand, 2 marimo balls and a gift tag to personalize it.  It all comes in a black velvet bag for gift giving too.    

A Valentine's gift that will last a lifetime!  Super easy to take care of.   Just occasionally change the water.    See and purchase it here

AMAZING pool floats!! #Yagoozon #Reviewlife #waterorsnow

We got the most amazing pool floats from Amazon!!!  

We got a jumbo flamingo!  


SERIOUSLY, how cute is the flamingo!!!  My 12-year-old blew it up... by mouth.  Yes, we need a pump!  LOL.  It's SOOOO cute.  





It's a fantastic size! We're in Michigan and it's winter, so we can't quite try it in the water yet.  BUT, we want to take it down the snow hill!  BUT, it's been unseasonably warm and in the 40's and 50's!  So for now, it's a fun chair.  LOL 

We also got another jumbo one, is a SWAN!!!  It's so super cute.  




And the grand finale.... We got the super big super sized giant SWAN!  This thing is seriously big enough to fit our entire family!  I need some snow now so we can try it out.  Amazing fun for any snow or water fun.  



I love this one since it has a solid bottom,  so you can just kind of hang out on top of it.  

These are all available on Amazon, the seller is #Yagoozon.

Affordable cast iron pans!

If you haven't cooked with cast iron before, it's something you should really try!  They do take a little TLC, but they cook amazing!   I just purchased this set from Amazon.  

These pans are pre-seasoned which means they are ready to cook with right out of the box!  They will work even better if you season them one more time in your oven before using them.  It's super easy and the directions are right on the box!  

You get FOUR different sized pans  From super small for cooking a couple of eggs to large for making fried chicken!  You'll LOVE how evenly these cook and distribute heat.   Care for the pan according to their instructions and it'll last you a lifetime!   These are great for camping too!  

These pans are not as thick as say a Lodge pan, but I think they cook just as well.  and they're not as heavy which is a plus.  And at $32.97 (today's price) it's a steal!  












SUPER happy with my find!!!

Men's Athletic Socks Review

There is nothing like a new pair of socks!  At least I think so!   I have 3 males I buy socks for, so it seems like we're always buying socks!  Especially when boys think it's ok to run out side in just their socks!  SIGH.  

I got a chance to test these socks.   We got a pair of 3, hubby decided to take these ones for himself.  He said they're nice and comfortable.  Not too thick to make them uncomfortable in shoes all day, but not thin so you're not getting the cushion and protection that you need for your feet all day.  They seem to be really well made, not cheap at all.   Heels and toes are a slightly thicker, but not a lot.  Very satisfied and I'm sure we'll be buying more!

Food Storage Containers - My Review!

Call me a dork, but I love new storage containers!  Any kind!  So when I got the opportunity to try some new ones, put me in!  

I got these food storage containers from Amazon.   The sizes are perfect to taking food and snacks to work or school.   Their nice and light and easy to carry.  The locks on them are EASY to use (Very important!  I had a set that was so hard to use I threw them out!)   So, they open and close very easy, that's nice.  You get 2 of each size, and each set nestles inside each other for easy storing. 

These are FDA approved.  If you're stoage containers are REALLY old, you might want to consider throwing them away!  They may contain harmful chemicals that simply are not used in today's market.  You'll be very happy with these!

I don't know about you, but I get nervous buying clothes online!  It's so hard to tell how it's going to fit, what the material is like, how it will fit...

The material is a silky like material and flows really nice.  It's SUPER comfortable!  I plan on wearing this with my new obsession... leggings.  It's the perfect length and will give you some bootie coverage.  The sleeves are not too tight and push up easy.  I much needed feature for me!  Here's the link to see it and purchase:

Reviews: Kitchen canvas hanging bags and trash bags

I recently purchased a couple of products on Amazon.  First up were some cool canvas storage bags





 I was a little desperate for some kitchen organizing and more storage idea. I was super happy to come across these! They're just the right size too. Not so large that they take up a huge amount of space, but not too small that they don't hold the things I need them to.

There is a hole in the front if you want to keep bags inside, or need access to "stuffs" in the bottom. Nice sturdy metal hangers to hang on your cupboard door. Only draw back for me is the style of my ancient cupboards, the doors wont shut all the way! I put one bag on portable cart towel holder rod and it holds the bag perfectly. These can also hang on the inside of your cupboards. As long as you have a "flat" cupboard door, you'll be fine for closing it. Mine are just weird... they were handmade in the 60's. LOL.

I would recommend these, great added storage for my kitchen. I used one for pot holders, one for plastic bags and one for plastic wrap/tin foil.


I also got some trash bagsI wanted something for my medium sized kitchen style trash containers. This are 7 gallon but are almost as large as my 13 gallon. I took a photo to compare the size difference. The green is this 7 gallon the white is my tall sized 13 gallon. I have both sizes in my house. These are tall, but they come to a point at the bottom, it's not flat. Which I like, because I need the height of the bag. There is no ties or elastic at the top of the bags, just a simple type bag . Happy with my purchase and these work for my needs.

"Yeti like" tumbler for a FRACTION of the cost! #tectonic

Have you ever used a Yeti type double wall type tumbler?  They're AMAZING!!!  I put a cold drink in one every morning, add an ice cube and it stays ice cold all day.  This tumbler that I tried is a fraction of the cost and just as great! (at review time the price is $13.95... say WHAT?!)   See it here.  



YES, you read that right.  Keeps drinks cold for up to 24 hours!  Hot drinks for up to 8 hours.  I'm totally using this for sporting events my sons keep me involved in!  I'm totally in love with this and feel like I found the deal of the century!  Try one, you'll seriously love it.  Also, it fits in my car cup holders too.  Important fact.

Kangaroo's Jumbo Pull 'N Stack Game #Yagoozon #Kangaroo

This was a fun one to review!   I got this at a discount, it was not free.   I was on the fence wondering if I should spend the money.  My kids are 12 and 16.  Will they have fun with it???  

Find it here.   

Jumbo Jenga!   They loved it!!!!   My husband brought the box in off the porch when it was delivered.  He was like WHAT did you buy now???  The box was slightly heavy.  But thank you Amzon Prime, shipping was FREE!  The kids opened it on Christmas Day.... they were like "what the heck?".  Then we played with it for a couple of hours!  It was a BLAST.  Jenga fun times a thousand!  We played on the carpet for an extra challenge. 






SERIOUSLY, how fun?!   The pieces are huge (insert warning... this may scare your dog!)  They're perfectly formed, nice and smooth, and stack perfectly.  This will be a great game to play outside this summer!  It comes in a nice canvas bag to keep them in too.  Great toy to take camping this summer!  Love this purchase, tons of FUN.

Ozeri Double Wall Glasses review #Ozeri

I got another Ozeri product to review!  Double wall glasses.  They come in a few different sizes, I got the 8 oz glasses.  

 I didn't know i wasn't supposed to put them in the dishwasher. They survived the dishwasher, but did not survive my son sweeping them onto the floor before we could use them! 2 of them completely shattered. So that was sad! They can not take a smack onto the kitchen floor!

I love the concept, with the double wall. You can easily use these with hot liquid and not get burned. Great for iced drinks, your hand wont warm up your drink! Perfect size for mixed drinks.

I would recommend them, just need to be very careful with them. I think we got too used to plastic and didn't care for them properly! The 2 we have left are nice. LOL



You can see the glass inside of the glass.... makes sense right?  Super cool and very convenient for hot or cold drinks.

Amazing water proof bag! #Aulker #Reviewlife

I found the most amazing bag on Amazon!  It's TRULY waterproof.   I plan on using this bag this spring and summer when my boys start playing baseball.  They usually play about 100 games a year.... we're extreme.  LOL.  I have to be ready for anything!!!  

Yes, baseball can still go on in the rain.  This will go in my travel bag so it's handy whenever I need it.  Cell phone, sunglasses, cameras, etc.   

Like to go to amusement parks?  This bag will keep your stuffs dry on the water rides!  Great to use on vacation too if you get caught in the rain.   Love this bag.  I'll be using it at the lake and beach too!  

Check it out here.    


 
 I got this product at a discount in exchange for my honest review.  All words and thoughts are my own!  

this is an AMAZING bag and I highly recommend it!!
