Stuffed Animal Bean Bag Chair

So I was able to review something I normally don't review. A kid's item!

Being that I don't have kids, I decided that my friend's little girl, Adelyn, would be my little tester! (She performed amazingly by the way!)

Item:

Stuff It! - Stuffed Animal Bean Bag Chair
The concept is that kids have tons of stuffed animals all over and it's quite difficult to keep the room clean with a pile of them laying around. Kind of a big eye sore. So, this 'bean' bag chair is used to actually store the stuffed animals! While there are not actually 'beans' to fill up the chair, you use the stuffed animals instead! Then it's still comfortable for them to sit on and it's a cute addition to the room.




The chair I got was the grey and white chevron print which, let's be honest, is the most popular print nowadays!
Recently, the seller updated the product and reinforced the seams as they were not holding up very well. So now they are all good on that end!



Adelyn LOVES her new chair and takes it everywhere with her. She can hide her toys in there so that her dogs don't steal them from her!


They come in 3 different chevron print colors. Grey, Navy, and Teal.

You can purchase yours here starting at $28.80

DQS Portable Makeup Bag

Just like many ladies, I have quite a lot of makeup. From brushes to sponges, eye liner to mascara, eye shadow to blush, I've got it all and then some! When traveling, I really hate shoving as much as I can into little travel bags. I can never find what I need and things tend to leak or break and it just becomes a complete mess!




I was able to review a beautiful makeup case from DQS. It has a shoulder strap that makes it easy to carry with you and zips up tight. The whole top inside cover has slots made for brushes and things of that nature. There's even a flap that keeps all of your items in place.



I can't fit ALL of my makeup in this bag, but it's great for when I'm traveling for a while. This case would work great for special events like weddings, maybe even for makeup artists!






Inside are little slots that hold dividers that you can easily adjust for the size pockets you need. It's very handy for when you have tiny items or larger items such as single eyeshadows or large pallets. Plus, it's very easy to clean if you get it all messy!




When I'm not using it for makeup, I actually use it to keep all of my jewelry I sell in. It works great for my bracelets, necklaces, rings, and earrings! I love how everything is organized and not just thrown into a tote. It's easy for me to grab when someone wants me to go over for them to pick out gifts!





I 100% recommend this bag! I have zero problems with it.
It would make for an excellent gift!


Size:15.35"×10.83"×3.94"

Calily Essential Oil Diffuser

Essential oils have been around for centuries. They help to naturally promote healing and relief of ailments, calm the senses, and some are even used for the skin.

posh.justmevibing.com

One way to use these essential oils is by aromatherapy diffusion. This is when you drop a few drops of the essential oil(s) of your choice into a bit of water. The diffusion device will then turn the water and oils into a vapor, spreading about the room. I must have about 10 of these diffusers all over my home! I might be obsessed.... But that's not a bad obsession, right?

My latest diffuser is by Calily. This device is an ultrasonic aromatherapy diffuser. It does not use any heat to produce the vapors which keeps the essential oils from changing in any way.

HOW IT WORKS:

So, the way this device works is you unscrew the top portion to fill it with water and oils up to the water line. You must only do this while the device is NOT plugged in. (Safety first) After you have put the cover back on and plugged in the device, you hold the 'Mist' button down for a few seconds. It then begins to diffuse. It starts out slow but gradually gets stronger. If you would like the light to turn on, simply hold the 'Light' button for a few moments and on goes the light. This setting allows it to change colors gradually. If you press it once, it will hold different colors. Press it again to change to the next color.
It works fantastically! Made my dog/laundry room smell amazing and not like pee....

PROS:

Some pros to this product are as follows-
1. Not very easy to spill. The cover snaps back into place and does not come off until you twist it off. So no mess.
2. Simple design.
3. Easy to use.
4. Beautiful LED lights.
5. Easy to clean.
5. Easy to store.
6. Does not change the composition, healing properties, or natural aromas of the essential oils.
7. Cannot overheat as it does not use any heat.
8. Goes off automatically when canister is empty.
9. Extremely quiet.
10. Reasonably priced.

K-Beauty GWP for new Subscribers

CONS:

I really don't have any cons. It has worked great for me so far! The only thing I can say is that the manufacturer should have proof-read their marketing materials before sending out because smack dab on the back of the box there is a typo.



The colors look WAY better in the dark.

New Pure Romance Product Review

***NOTICE... This review contains adult content. Please do not continue reading if you are uncomfortable with adult topics.***

Hello my doll faces! Hope you are enjoying this beautiful month of May!

We all know that I just love to support small businesses such as the businesses I run. Pure Romance is no different. In this post, I will be referring you to a friend of mine's Pure Romance link. This link helps her to provide for her family and not just giving some corporate HBIC a new summer home... ALWAYS purchase items under a friend or someone who sells the product you are interested in! It helps them more than you know. It takes no extra effort on your part to help, either.


I was approached to review a couple of Pure Romance's new products at a discounted price by my friend, Nikki. Naturally, I jumped at the opportunity. I decided to go with 2 products. Serenity Massage Lotion & Great Head Oral Gel.



Serenity Honey Rose Aromatherapy Massage Lotion

If you are anything like me.... I LOVE massages! But having the right massaging lotion is key! Some are too oily, some are too watery, some dry out quickly. But this Serenity lotion is quite nice! It looks and feels like a lotion but keeps its smoothness long enough to thoroughly enjoy the massage. You don't even need a whole lot of it. Some on the shoulders, some on the back and a streak on each leg! It's a 4 fl.oz. bottle so there is plenty of product.


The honey rose scent is exactly that. A beautiful rose scent with a dash of sweet honey. I normally don't like the floral type scents but this one actually was very relaxing! A few naturally based ingredients include Safflower Seed oil, Sunflower Seed oil, Jojoba Seed oil, Shea Butter, Grape Seed oil, Sweet Almond oil, and Evening Primrose oil. All of which are excellent for moisturizing and softening the skin.





I absolutely recommend this product! I'd just rather a more toned down scent, but that's my personal preference.

To Purchase: https://www.pureromance.com/nikkirobinson


Great Head Oral Gel

Now this product, is a little more 'Adult' so be aware.
This product is straight forward. Great Head. It allows the sexual oral act to be more pleasurable for the person giving the head. For most women, this act is not their favorite activity in any way shape or form. Personally, I hate it. It hurts my neck and my jaw and I try to avoid it at all costs! Unfortunately, my significant other LOVES it... as most men do. 

Great Head allows me to enjoy the act a bit more. The taste is actually pretty awesome! Some 'edible' products usually taste terrible, but not this one! This one is raspberry rosé and honestly... it tastes like candy! On taste alone I give it a 10!








Onto the feel.... What this product does is it not only helps in the taste department, but it actually numbs the back of your throat a bit to help you to relax while performing oral sex. It definitely feels funny at first, but it helps the act not to be so bad on your end! Not that it's a bad thing but just because some women do not like to do it. All you need is a little tiny dab on the back of your throat or at the tip of the penis. Voila!

Overall, amazing product! Definitely worth a try!

Best Hand Cremes

I've tried many different hand cremes before and either they were too thick or too greasy or whatever else.... Until now...



Perfectly Posh has a hand creme called BFYHC = Big Fat Yummy Hand Creme.
Seriously, get you some! They smell amazing and have naturally based ingredients! Each day I used it, I could tell my hands kept getting softer and softer without feeling greasy. Plus, a little really goes a long way! One tiny little pea sized dab and you're set! They are made with aloe vera, coconut oil, and apricot kernel oil. The apricot kernel oil helps the lotion absorb into your skin much faster which helps prevent a greasy feeling. 

My favorite has to be Merry Berry. But it's retired now :( *sad*
So, my current favorite is Paper Moon! It smells like Citrus, strawberry, kiwi, and a hint of musk. But I don't smell the citrus! 

Learn to pamper yourself. Why waste money at the spa when you can have a 'spa-like' experience in the comfort of your own home for a FRACTION of the cost?! Come on now!

Get yours today plus earn Perks on every purchase that you can use towards earning free products!

PP Perk! Skin Stick for Headaches


I hope everyone is ready for Christmas like I am!!! 

So, as of lately, I've been getting on-going headaches that just come out of nowhere! It's ridiculously uncomfortable and they tend to not go away easily. I'm one that doesn't like popping an Aleve or Tylenol like it's candy just because my head hurts. That's why I'm so glad I found this Perk! Skin Stick by Perfectly Posh.

I am such a nerd... I'm not very experienced with doing videos so please, don't judge TOO bad! Hopefully, I'll get better at it with time.



This Skin Stick helps relieve headaches and stress by infusing the stick with peppermint essential oils and shea butter. It even helps to improve your mood! Just apply to pressure points and breathe deeply. The texture is super smooth and creamy. For me, it doesn't feel oily and absorbs great into the skin.

Sometimes, I get headaches at night, which disrupts my sleep. This stick helps heal me, allowing me to fall asleep. I can't ask for a more natural way to do so than by using this Perk stick! I absolutely love it!

Where to buy: https://jencyv.po.sh/perk-skin-stick $14

Be sure to check out the other Skin Sticks by Perfectly Posh! I am slowly becoming obsessed with each one!

Also, if you would like to place an order, and get it before Christmas, you MUST order by Dec. 16th! That's THIS FRIDAY!!! Don't wait!

Gourmet Living Balsamic Vinegar Review

As we age, our taste buds change. One thing that changed for me was balsamic vinegar. When I was younger, I would have never been within 10 feet of the stuff. Now that I'm older and I've grown, I am obsessed with balsamic vinegar! I remember being at a restaurant and getting a side salad. The waitress asked what type of dressing would I like. At this time, I was feeling quite adventurous to new things so I said Balsamic. That was a day in my life that I fell in love.... with Balsamic dressing.

So, I started trying different types of Balsamic, both vinegar and salad dressings. I love it either way, but I found that I loved to cook with Balsamic Vinegar. (It's my secret ingredient in my spaghetti sauces... shhh!)

Lately, I was able to try out a Balsamic Vinegar of Modena Goccia Nera by Gourmet Living. Let me just say that it is excellent. Absolutely delicious! It came in a glass cork bottle with nice labeling. I wasn't sure what to expect but I was not let down. It has such a beautiful blend of tangy and sweet. Not too strong, yet not too light. Goes well on salads, pastas, chicken, anything that is screaming for flavor. 


The ingredients are cooked grape must and Italian wine vinegar. So simple, yet so bold. The only thing I found odd was that the nutritional label used commas instead of periods in reference to the amounts of each item. 6,7g instead of 6.7g. This may just be something I am not used to being in the US. 

I ended up using this vinegar in a pasta salad I made. It came out FABULOUS! Now, I didn't actually measure anything. I winged it and put how much I thought was good. Here's my recipe:



Ingredients:

1 English Cucumber
1-2 Tomatoes
1 Ripe Avocado
1 Box of Wheat Spiral Pasta
Chicken Strips
Gourment Living Balsamic Vinegar
Kraft Creamy Poppyseed Dressing


Directions:

Boil pasta according to package instructions. Drain and chill. Cut up 1/2 to a whole English cucumber and tomatoes. Dice avocado and toss all veggies with pasta and chill. Cook chicken strips and toss in pasta mix. When deciding how much Balsamic vinegar to put, I poured 2-3 circles worth into the bowl and decided from there if it was too strong or not. Do the same with the Poppyseed dressing. *HINT: Less is more 


It's an easy side or lunch dish that can be made quickly and easily.





This Balsamic Vinegar by Gourmet Living isn't cheap but it's worth every penny. It runs currently (10/6/16) at $16.95 on Amazon.

Where to buy: Gourmet Living - Balsamic Vinegar

Zeefo Table Lamp Review


I always wanted a motion sensing light for my hallways at night but none of my plugs were in a good spot for a plug in. This is a great alternative! It is small enough to stand on any piece of furniture and is pretty cute as well. Now when my roommate comes home at night she's not fumbling for a light!


You can use this anywhere you need it. Hallways, kitchen, utility room, back door, anything.







All you do is put 3 AA batteries in it, turn it to auto, and it detects motion at a really nice range! The only thing is that it's not easy to get the back battery cover off. It should be, but for some reason, I have to use both hands to undo it.


Other than that, I love it!

Pureclean PUCRC45 Robot Vacuum Cleaner Review

I have been dying to get my hands on a robot vacuum cleaner and this one by Pure Clean is pretty nice. I have 2 dogs and a boyfriend who always tracks in dirt with his dirty shoes! Not to mention the fact that our back door faces out to the woods behind us, so there are always dead bugs and such getting tracked in. One of my dogs sheds like crazy. She is a white long haired dog that leaves white fluff balls all over the place. I have dark wood floors so white puff balls really show! A regular broom doesn't help much because it just makes all the extra hairs fly around everywhere, making it very hard to pick it all up. I hate our big bulky vacuum because it's hard to maneuver around and a microfiber dust mop is really hard to clean. So, you can imagine how stoked I am to finally have a robot vacuum!

To be honest, I wasn't sure what to expect from this vacuum. Sometimes, off brands can really let you down especially when it comes to electronics. But this little thing surprised me! It works extremely well. 'Weebo', as I call her, has become a lifesaver! It's no where near as expensive as the 'name brand' and works just great!

You can do so much with this little vacuum. Once you charge it for at least 12 hours before using it for the first time, you can begin letting it clean. It doesn't last very long for the first few uses though. Maybe 30-45 minutes. But I think it will get better after a few charges and discharges. You can either charge it via the adapter or it will find it's way back itself to the charging dock when it needs charging which is super handy. I haven't gotten to play with the programming part of it yet though. Mostly because I find the instructions to be a little confusing and unorganized. But you can set it to clean at certain times throughout the day while you are at work. I just have to move my chairs and pick up my shag carpet because it starts freaking out once it hits the carpet. Sometimes it'll get stuck right underneath my kitchen cabinets because they are just the right height to catch the bumpers. But it eventually wiggles itself out.

Below is a video I took of Weebo strolling around as she took one of my dog's toys hostage for a bit! HAHA



Pros:
- Cleans very well
- Has a bumper and finds it's way around the house
- Cleaning out the dust bin is extremely simple
- Automatically finds the charging station when needed
- Moves at a steady pace
- Picks up grass, dirt, pet hair, and string

Cons:
- Very loud when vacuuming but not louder than a full size vacuum
- Instructions need to be organized better
- Dies quickly the first few times
- Takes dog toys hostage


Overall, I love this robot vacuum! It's a great value for an excellent price.

Madison Reed Hair Color Review

Happy National Puppy Day everyone! I hope you celebrated your precious pups today. Who am I kidding? We do that everyday!


My little girl Nikki


It's no secret that I change my hair color like I change my undies! I'm always up for something 'different'. But to be completely honest, I didn't always color my hair correctly.

Going to the salon is SOOO expensive! And it got even more expensive as the years passed by. So, I went to box color. I know... Stupid me! I used box color for years. I absolutely LOVED the color, but it was destroying my hair! My hair used to be full and beautiful. With all those years of using box color, my hair got flat and blehhh. It's just lifeless and lost all of its luster. It became so unhealthy, that it looked stringy and was full of split ends! And let me tell you, it takes FOREVER to get it healthy again!

So I'll tell you this right now.... DO NOT USE BOX COLOR FROM THE DRUG STORE! And if you do, STOP!


If you just can't fork up the cash for a professional at the salon to color your hair, there is another option. It's not as expensive as the salon, but not as cheap as drug store box colors.

Get Better Hair Color with Madison Reed

There is a way to color your hair safely, without the costly price tag. And that is Madison Reed.
They offer cost efficient, 100% gray coverage, healthy hair color. Ammonia, Resorcinol, and PPD-Free, Gluten-Free, with No Parabens added. It's even Cruelty-Free which is my number one thing to look for in a product!

(image from google image search)

Thanks to the fabulous Color Crew at Madison Reed, I was able to try one of their hair colors absolutely free! I took the questionnaire to create my Hair Profile. You answer a few simple questions, then they suggest the best colors for you! It's so easy!

I was so excited when my box came in!


They included everything you would need to color your own hair.

  

Everything from gloves to anti-stain creme and even shampoo and conditioner! 


I will say this, doing this on my own was kind of tricky. I suggest you get someone to help you so that you don't miss any spots of hair! 



The instructions that were included were very straight forward and easy to follow. I did change one thing though, and that was when to remove the stains of color on my skin. I removed mine after step 7 just because I was worried about the color not coming off 35-45 minutes later! Anyway, after I got the color on, of which they give you a good amount of product, I let it sit for about 40 minutes and I rinsed it out in luke warm water. I suggest rinsing over the side of your tub so that you don't paint your bathtub a different color with all of the splatter! I absolutely love the fact that the shampoo and conditioner they include comes in a mini sample tube with a cap that closes. Many companies only give you this packet that you have to rip open and if you don't use all of the product at once, you have to just hope it doesn't all spill out or harden. With the mini tubes, I can close the bottle, and have no worries! 

Are you ready for it??? Here is my transformation:


Please ignore the frizziness! The after picture was taken right after blow drying. But you can see the fluffyness of it!

Anyways! I absolutely LOVE the color! It's absolutely gorgeous! I ended up using the TRIESTE RED - 5NRM permanent hair color. It's a reddish mahogany brown. Not only is the color beautiful, but my hair feels light and soft! It actually felt natural and not weighed down by a bunch of unhealthy, unnecessary chemicals. Plus, the smell afterwards wasn't overpowering. It was very light, yet still smelled great!

Silly fly aways!
I am absolutely impressed with Madison Reed hair color! They are an amazing company that believes in giving women the best product for their hair.

I would only suggest adding a few more color tones to the collection.

Secura Electric Wine Opener Review

This one is for all the wine lovers!


You know how we have those hand operated, gaudy, annoying, oddly shaped wine bottle openers? I just hate how some of them either destroy the cork because you went in crooked, or they take up so much space when you store it.


I was so excited to try this electric wine bottle opener! This stainless steel one by Secura is beautifully designed. It not only looks really nice and expensive, it actually matches my stainless steel appliances in my kitchen so it doesn't look odd on my counters.


It's so easy to use that I almost feel lazy using it! You just put it charging on the charging stand for at least 8 hours before the first use, then just set it on the top of your bottle and press the down button. The needle descends and takes the cork with it! Press the up button to release the cork. It's that simple.


I absolutely love being able to watch it all happen through the clear bottom portion. It even lights up and looks all fancy. It is definitely one of my favorite wine bottle openers. Even the little foil cutter that is included works exceptionally well. The design is beautiful and looks great when I take it out when we have company over.


There are a couple of things I think that can be improved on though:
  • For one, the stand for the foil cutter does not allow the cutter to stay sturdy onto it.
  • Also, the slot where the opener goes is a bit wobbly. It does not feel secured when moving the whole dock from place to place. It makes me feel like if I make the wrong move, it will fall and break.
  • Lastly, when using with the really dry like corks, it breaks them apart pretty easily when trying to extract the cork from the bottle. Luckily, nothing got into my bottle.

Overall, this is a great product that I believe any wine lover would enjoy in their wine tool collection. I even think the price is just right for this product.



Where to purchase:
Secura Stainless Steel Wine Opener

Price: $29.99 Amazon Prime


They also offer an electric wine opener with a built in thermometer. It reads the temperature of the wine with just a push of a button! This particular one comes in at $43.99 Amazon Prime.
