Coosh [Apple MFi Certified] Lightning to USB Cable 3ft

I think you guys have all figured out how much I love having extra chargers. I mean, with as many electronics we have throughout the house and at work all at one time, sometimes it's hard to find a charger. Even going as far as stealing one from another to charge your stuff. So I was real excited when I got the chance to get this Coosh cord for free in exchange for an honest review. This is my second item from Coosh and I absolutely love their products. It's well packaged when it gets to me, easy to use, and easy to carry around. It's 3 foot long, not too short, but long enough for using in the car or in bed. It's small enough to keep in your purse or pocket for last minute charges. This is definitely a good buy to have.

YALMEH Foundation Brush

I've never had a makeup brush before. Not one to use with foundation anyway. I always have used one of those foam pads, which I learned later in life at one of those makeup parties, that it can carry bacteria and whole bunch of yuck. What??? I've used these for years!!!
So, when the oppurtuniy arose for me to try out the YALMEH makeup brush for free in exchange for an honest review, I took it! I haven't had a lot of experience using a brush like this. Like I said, I always used the pads. So it took me a little bit to figure it out. But, when I did, I got so excited at how awesome it worked! It's like I can paint my face! LOL...no pun intended. I don't really paint my face, my makeup is pretty calm most of the time.
Anyway, this little brush cleans up real easy with some soap, and I haven't seen any stray bristles fall out either. At least not yet. It's easy to hold as it's not one of those really thin handled brushes. One thing I really love about it, besides that it's soft, is that it's easy to get into those tight areas of your face with the angled part of the brush. You know, like the corners of your eyes and the sides of your nose. It makes it real easy to blend so there's no makeup lines either.
Since I'm trying to be more health conscience and organic going, I actually want to start using like a bare mineral type of powder, and I believe this would still work great with that. I did receive this brush free in exchange for an honest review. And I love my first makeup brush, and possibly the ONLY one I'll ever use.

Organic Green Tea Matcha Powder

I've been starting to get on this health kick lately. I mean, with fixing to turn 30, and with having put on some weight and all. I've decided to not only start juicing fruits and veggies (which is fabulous by the way), but to start drinking other stuff besides soda pop. A friend mentioned to me that she loves to eat too much to drink her calories too. LOL
So when I had the opportunity to try this Green Tea Matcha out in exchange for an honest review, I jumped right on. I had done a little reading before trying out this foreign (to me) drink. I have learned that it is an antioxidant and it gives your metabolism a boost, which is something I need for sure! Also, it's good for your skin, and you can make smoothies with it. I plan on adding it to my juices somehow. It works from the inside out, which is how a lot of health problems occur. It also boosts energy! Now I for one, need energy in the job that I do. And I don't think you can O.D. on green tea, so I keep my packet at work. We have hot water from the coffee machine, so it's easy to make a quick cup. I will admit, I fail to read instructions usually, so the first cup I ever made, I didn't measure and ended up using way too much in my cup. Didn't taste so great. But when I made the next cup as told, it was pretty good. I have never been one to enjoy hot tea at all, so it's still takes some getting used to for me. But, I have noticed increased energy throughout the day. And I'm still getting used to all this health nut stuff, so my body isn't use to getting such a treat. I would say this is something that everyone should try, especially if they already enjoy hot tea of some sort.

Travel Pillow

I have a Jeep Commander and the head rests on the front seats are leaned forward instead of straight or back. There's no way to adjust other than up or down...and I'm too short anyway. This pillow came in real handy with this issue as it can rest right at the base of the head rest and hit my neck just perfectly. It's not huge and it's contoured to fit your neck area. So I don't feel like my head is too far back while I'm driving, or pushed uncomfortably forward. I also thought it was pretty cool that you can blow it up and deflate to your comfort level by letting air out of the adjustable mouth piece (or whatever it's called). It also has a little carry bag, but I keep mine on my seat at all times, so I've actually misplaced the little bag. Lol!
I'm glad I had a chance to get one of these in exchange for an honest review. This came in pretty handy.

Santamedical Adult Deluxe Aneroid Sphygmomanometer

My sister in law is a CNA at a nursing home, and she had gotten a used blood pressure cuff when she first took her CNA class a few years back. She mentioned a few months back that she was in need of another, as hers had worn out some over the years, but with unexpected loss of a second income she hasn't been able to get one. So I was pretty excited for her that I had a chance to get one of these in exchange for a review. She loves it! She loves that it's brand new of course, but she loves that it also came with it's own little carry case. Her old one of course did not. She also said that the Velcro is very strong, I guess she was used to the worn out one she had. One thing we both loved is that the price of this one in particular is very affordable, when there are some out there that cost over $50. And anymore that's a tank of gas. So the fact that this is affordable enough for her to get another when this one wears thin is nice. This is an excellent cuff for the price.

Epica Bellows for Wood and Coal Fires

I have always wanted to try one of these!! I always saw them in older movies, or at pawn shops. Now I finally have one of my own to play with! lol
I suck at building or maintaining our fireplace fires anyhow, but this little thing helped me out the last time. I'm always searching for more cardboard or any other burnable trash that will keep my logs lit. This little bellow really did the trick! And I was so excited that I didn't have to use MY air! lol...
When my fire died down shortly after starting it (like it always does for me), I just played with this bellow and it got my puny fire up and going again pretty easily. I'm so glad I had the chance to get one of these in exchange for an honest review. Now I don't need my husband to keep my puny fires going!

iPhone 5 Running Band

I received this in exchange for a review of the item. My daughter uses it more of course because she is the runner...not me. It fits her iPhone 5c with ease. She doesn't usually go running when she's home alone, but if she ever does, there's also a spot for her house key...providing that she feels like taking it off her normal keychain. Which is why she only runs when we're home. It's adjustable and flexible, and fits pretty comfortably. She is definitely happy with it.
