Product Review: Chair Cushion

**Disclosure: I received this product for a discount in exchange for a honest and unbiased review.**

Well my chair in the office has had a great life.  But we have come to that point where the cushion just isn't doing its job. I mean, it couldn't be the size of my butt that wore it out so quickly so I am going to say that the cushion was poor quality.

So I got myself a nice cushion to place on the chair in hopes that comfort would return when I have long nights in front of the desktop computer.  I was able to try out #Konnor 's orthopedic memory foam cushion. 

It has taken some getting used to and I probably don't sit in this chair enough daily to say that it is the perfect solution, but this has definitely made it better for me when I am working at the computer for long periods of time. 

Easy neutral color.  And it is a great size.  Thickness is wonderful and while it looks enormous coming out of the box, it ends up fitting perfectly in the chair.  When you first sit, it is quite firm and has held up the firmness so far.  I have felt other memory foam ones that offer more contouring, but of course squish down a little too soon. This one does not contour in that same manner.  This is the part that did throw me off since it is memory foam and I was expecting more squish to it. 

If you are looking for a good cushion that can revive the height you have lost in your current chair then this may be for you.  If you want firm and want it to perk up your ability to sit straight and properly, this is also for you.  If you are looking for a solution before going out and spending big bucks on a brand new chair that will surely lose its comfiness before you expect, this is for you.  Konnor's cushion has managed to be a great option as a fix to my sad chair. 

You can the konnor's cushion on amazon.

Review: Girl's Digital Watch

**Disclosure: I received this product for a discount in exchange for a honest and unbiased review.**

So I have a little 5-year old who is all about learning... learning to read, learning to add and subtract, and learning to be a big girl. What is better to help her in this learning and growing phase than to give her a watch of her own.

I was given the opportunity to purchase this watch for a discounted price, so I gave it shot to see how she would do.  She loves it! She absolutely loves having a watch and practicing telling time.

The watch is super cute with a little girl on it, holding her kitten.  The colors are of course perfect, purple and pinks everywhere. And the time is hidden until she presses the red button near the little girl.  Then the time pops out!

The watch is adjustable with plenty of holes to make it fit any size wrist, and the portion of the little girl actually moves as well, so once you have it to the right size, you can adjust the main piece along the wrist.  An adult does have to set the time and date, etc. as the buttons to adjust are on the side and extremely hard to push.  Not a big deal to me because I figure it limits her ability to mess with setting the time and she really doesn't need the date feature yet.

I cannot praise this small affordable beginner's watch enough.  Its a perfect starter without spending an arm and a leg. It has a clear and basic digital screen, and it offers a cute bracelet look when the time is hidden.

I recommend this watch for any of your little princesses that are looking to step up into the big girl world and start practicing with their ability to tell time.

Product Review: Instanatural Eyelash Serum

**Disclosure: I received this product for a discount in exchange for a honest and unbiased review.**

Well... here I am again, trying to figure out what remedy will make my eyebrows magically grow back.  I found this product being offered to try out and write a review, so I figured give it a shot.  It is supposed to help with exactly what I wanted to accomplish... and I remain hopeful that it will make a difference.

I have been applying Instanatural Eyelash and Eyebrow serum for about 15 days to my eyebrows... I am cautious of course, because you never know what might happen. Happy to report no skin irritation.  It is easy to apply as well.  The down side, I still need more time to say that it has made a difference.  I have not had the growth I hoped for on the bare eyebrow spots.

I know most individuals will use this for its primary purpose, which is applying it to the lashes.  I attempted this once and let me tell you it stings like a... mmm yeah.  I couldn't bear it and since it wasn't my primary worry, I did not continue using it for my lashes.  I do wish there was better instructions for applying it to the lashes because I am not even sure if I applied it across them correctly - and I tried to keep the amount applied limited, but it still managed to sneak into my eyes and make me cry.

Here are some before and after pics

Of course you can still clearly see the ridge in the middle where my brow used to be crazy thin... that is the part I am trying to grow back.

I will continue to apply and keep my fingers crossed... I would love to have some nice looking eyebrows some day.

Review: TravelSafer Tire Gauge

**Disclosure: I received this product for a discount in exchange for a honest and unbiased review.**

Always better to be safe than sorry, and that is why I took the opportunity to review the TravelSafer Digital Tire Gauge.  Small, convenient, and one of those items that you know will be handy at the most random times.  

Some cars offer the ability to read the tire pressure automatically, but for those that don't, you will really like having this gauge around.  First of all, it is battery operated, which is pretty awesome.  It has a bright LCD display that allows you to easily read the pressure.  No more trying to squint and guess where it landed on the manual tire gauge!  And it is easy to use.  

First of, you turn it on with the press of a button.  Press it firmly to the tire nozzle, and ta-da! Instant tire pressure reading.  And it comes with the ability to offer a variety of measurement readings - so I usually use PSI, but it offers BAR, KPA, and Kg/cm3.  Totally versatile. 

This makes a great gift or personal purchase.  Consider your safety or those of your loved ones, and how this can come in handy before they get on the road or are looking at questionable tires.  I am pleased with this so far and hope you will find it most helpful as well.

Review: Keliwa Silicone Muffin & Cupcake Baking Pan

**Disclosure: I received this product for a discount in exchange for a honest and unbiased review.**

Do you use silicone bakeware?  I just could not wrap my head around using that type of item.  It took me long enough to actually move away from fabric potholders and start using silicone.  But to put my food in it?

Well I finally made the move when I was given the opportunity to review Keliwa Silicone Muffin & Cupcake Baking Pan.  Of course, in my fear, I limited myself.  I used my baking pan to make cute cinnamon roll muffins.  Easy peasy to cut up some cinnamon rolls and then fit them into the pan.  Used the heat and time that was on the package.  Below is my pre-baking picture.

And when my timer went off, I was so pleased.  I found these cinnamon roll muffins waiting for me in the oven.  Evenly baked.  Fully baked all the way through.  They popped right out of the pan without needing any baking cups, flour, or cooking oil.

After removing them, I was able to put them on a plate and drizzle the icing on them.  Then I threw the pan into the dishwasher.  Again, another perk of this muffin pan.  

So, I cannot wait to try this with cupcakes or cornbread.  With Thanksgiving and Christmas around the corner, this is going to work out perfectly.  

Overall the Keliwa Silicone Muffin & Cupcake Baking Pan appears to be made well.  It is the same size as a traditional metal pan, but has some great perks like the color, the even heating, nonstick, and easy to clean.  I am so happy I have this pan a try and I am looking forward to trying out some other silicone bakeware.

Review: Keeva Deep Conditioning 5-in-1 Hair Mask

**Disclosure: I received this product for a discount in exchange for a honest and unbiased review.**

My hair has had it.  I have dry and worn out hair that is desperate need of some salon TLC.  But right now I am having to be in twenty places at once, and taking the time for me is not a priority.

In the mean time, I will do what I can by using products that can make me feel and look better in the sanctity of my own home.  So I gave #Keeva deep conditioning mask a try to see if it could help me out.

I will say that the down side to this, as with alls masks, is the lack of instructions.  Do you want me to wet my hair first and then sit out of the shower 20 minutes to let it work its magic? Do you want me to apply it to dry hair and then rinse out? How does shampoo usage apply to this product - before? After?  I am not a beauty pro so these are types of information I need to use a product effectively.

So did the wet hair, put on and sit out method.  I rinsed. Just to let you know - I prefer rinsing with cold or cooler water versus the warm they recommend. And I observed my results.  I have to say it works.  My hair felt great right after and my wavy hair was super easy to comb out while wet, and the tangles were manageable.  Once dry, my hair felt good afterwards.  My frizz was well controlled, it was smooth, and my hair had a great scent to it. I did not have to use my extra hair oils once styled to keep the frizz away, which is super nice.

I  am curious what my hair would be like if I used warm water now. I don't like to overuse masks out of fear of oily or weighed down hair, so I will give it another shot soon.  I would recommend always using a strong cleansing shampoo before a mask to ensure you don't end up with heavy hair.

I think I need a few more times to determine if I love the Keeva Deep Conditioning Hair Mask or if this is a good go-to for periodic TLC, but in the mean time, it definitely helps give my hair some love without the cost or time it takes to get it deep conditioned at the salon.

Still learning...

So I am hoping to get into doing more reviews.  I personally seek out store or website reviews on products when making important purchases. I want to know the benefits or positives to a product, the truth about the downsides and negatives, and I want to make sure my hard earned money is going to quality products that my family and friends will enjoy.  Now I want to make sure I can offer the same type of guidance and information to help others when they need to make those purchases as well.

I was a part of a few groups, however, Amazon's recent changes have limited review opportunities.  So if you are interested in an honest review, and have items that you would like for me to consider, please feel free in contacting me. I would love to help you out and boost my own knowledge of blogging reviews, among other types of blog posts.

I am a full time teacher, mom, and wife.  I try to keep up with everything ranging from children's toys and products like personal care, strollers and seats, and clothes, to pet food and toys. I also work hard to make sure husband is dressed well for work and up to date on technology basics or more.  Keeping up the house, cooking, cleaning are important parts of my life, and in the midst of it all, I would like to try and take better care of myself in not only the beauty areas of hair, makeup and fitness, but also in trying to be fashionable as a career woman and mother.

Thanks for the consideration!
