Magnus Safety Razor Review

I am writing this review on behalf of my husband. He used to use a standard 5 blade razor from Gillette. He started using a similar safety razor like this one from Magnus. He really liked this one from Magnus better for several reasons. -The handle is longer. It gives him more handle to give him better control. -The handle has a better gripe. -The blade sits back more so it doesn't irritate him as much. His other razors gave him some irritation unlike this one. -Easier to clean. The other razor was a pain to clean unlike this one. The chrome finish isn't as good quality. The chrome on the bottom of the razor was already coming off. I noticed this when I took it out of the box. I received this product for free in exchange of my honest, unbiased review that is my own. Overall, my husband does recommend this razor! http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00ZJAY96W?ref_=cm_rdp_product

Bonapiel Stretch Marks and Scars Cream Review

I have only used this product for a week or so. Even though it hasn't been long, I have a good feeling about this cream. I like the feeling of the cream and how smooth is goes on my stomach. I had a baby 6 months ago so I am left with stretch marks on my abdomen. I don't believe there is any miracle cream out there to completely get rid of stretch marks. I do believe this can aide in lightening them up. So far they seem to not be as dark which is a great sign for me! My stomach is much softer too. Using it twice a day would be best.

Ziggy Baby Fitted Crib Sheet Set Review

These crib sheet are so adorable. Love the jersey cotton and it fits my son's crib perfectly. He is starting to move a lot in his crib and the sheets have not come apart yet. They are so soft and not stiff like others we've tried. The designs are gender neutral which is a plus if we were to ever have a girl someday. You can tell they are made to last and at a great price for two. I have tried other products by Ziggy Baby and they are a company who cares about their products! I recommend these to every baby.

Smarty Pants Fingernail, Toenail Clipper Set Review

I keep my nails short due to working in the health field. I am cutting them all the time and quite picky on my nail clippers. The one is very easy to use and cuts my nails very well. I don't have to press down as hard the way it is designed. Having the whole set is a plus because my toe nails are hard to cut. They are the perfect size and what's nice is they have a filer built on the clippers. I do wish they had one of those nail cleaner picks built on it. Very satisfied so far and would recommend!

Swaddle Blanket & Adjustable Infant Wrap by Ziggy Review

I learned quickly the benefit of swaddling my baby. He super fussy and this swaddle helped him get to sleep. We have used other types of swaddles similar to this one, but he would always end up getting himself out of it. This one did not come undone! It is very strong and made to last. I especially love the green. Green is my little guys favorite and could be gender neutral. It is very easy to use and mommas out there should look into swaddling with this one from Ziggy!

Ziggy Baby Changing Pad Cover Review

I am very pleased with this changing pad cover by Ziggy Baby. It is made out of jersey cotton and feels very comfortable. I have a standard size changing pad and this fits perfectly. My baby boy is starting to be squirmy but this cover does not come off. The company say it fits up to sizes 16 inch x 32 inch. I just love the design of it as well! I like to buy things that are gender neutral so if we have another baby, I can pass things down. Definitely recommend!

Reusable Food Pouch by Baby Go-Green Review

I am just starting to make homemade baby food for my soon to be 6 month old. I was thinking about ways to store his food and thought this was the perfect way. When I received this food pouch, I was amazed how strong and decent sized they were! The food pouches on the shelves look so small and thin compared to these. The biggest thing I like about them is they can be used again up to 50 times! I used Kiinde pouches before and they are not reusable. I would spend so much money replacing them. Think about the money saved using a reusable food bag. They are easy to open up and the bottom has a double zipper too. They are also dishwasher and freezer safe. The clear back window is excellent for seeing how much is left. Another good thing is it is easy to clean. I am just loving these pouches! The price is very reasonable compared to other reusable pouches out there. I received this product at a discount in exchange of my review. My reviews are always honest and unbiased. http://www.amazon.com/Reusable-Food-Pouch-Pack-Homemade/dp/B00TXBSHBQ/ref=pd_sbs_75_1?ie=UTF8&refRID=1BEGRHFWXYHAZ3J4STXG&dpID=51wkZvdqCDL&dpSrc=sims&preST=_AC_UL160_SR160%2C160_

Magnetic Baby Safety locks Review

These magnetic locks from Brilliant Babyz are perfect! I do not like the traditional baby locks you have to squeeze together to lock/unlock. With this one, it's very easy to install and use. The tape on the lock is very strong. It is best to let it sit for a night to set it strong. Once that's installed, just keep the magnetic key nice and high. It is nice to just get the key and line it up to the cupboard to allow it to open. I will definitely be using this type of baby lock for my baby proofing! I received this product at a heavy discount in exchange for my honest opinion and review.

Gurin Professional Rechargeable Water Flosser Review

I love water flossers! I have been using a competitor water flosser for a couple years now. I have tried their rechargeable one before it quit on me very shortly after getting it. The power just was not there unless it was plugged in all the time. I have been using the Gurin for a few days now and am in love with it! It came packaged nicely and had a full charge. It still is running strong and seems like it has enough power for a while. The water container is easy to slide down, fill up, and slide up. I recommend this water flosser for people with invisalign as well. When I has full time invisalign, I would have to always floss so this would have been perfect. There is enough water for one time use of flossing. I am delighted to be able to review this product. I did receive this product for free in exchange for my honest, unbiased review. To be honest, I have no found anything wrong with it yet!

Grey Chevron Nursing Cover by SavvyBaby Review

Every nursing/non nursing moms should get this cover. I like the simplicity of this nursing cover. It has a ring to tighten it which is easy for me to use. I love the chevron design and how it is gender neutral. The material is good quality and so far no rips. There are a couple other uses for it. I like to have it around to cover my baby in his car seat in case it rains. It is nice to use it for other things like it. Definitely my favorite cover so far. I received this product for free in exchange for my honest, reliable,unbiased review.

Crown&Cradle Nursing Cover

Such a nice nursing cover. Another cover I reviewed had a string in the back that was attached permanently. My baby is pretty wiggly but this cover makes it so he doesn't expose me! This one has it so you tie it around yourself which is a plus. I love the design and that it is gender neutral. What is a great feature is the pockets on the bottom and inside the cover! I am always trying to find a place to put my son's pacifier or teething toy. They definitely got it right when designing this cover and it will be used on a daily basis. I am not that type to nurse without a cover in public so this cover will make it easier for us. Sometimes I nurse him so he falls asleep so the darkness of the cover can help with that. Haven't tried it for a carseat cover but am eager to try it soon! I received this product for free in exchange for my honest review and opinion.

Pets and more window mounted cat bed review

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00ZAL0QAS?redirect=true&ref_=cm_cr_ryp_prd_ttl_sol_17 ***Here is the link for this new window mounted cat bed my kitties LOVE! My boys take turns throughout the day every day so far. My boys weigh about 16 pounds each and love the look out the window. Cats love height and that's why I prefer this window cat bed vs others! The other competitor cat bed goes on the bottom of the window and require screws for us. We had to use the screws because the tape made the bed fall off. Poor kitty! This bed was pretty easy to install. It took a little muscle to attach the pipe to the fabric but didn't take long. The instructions made it simple to figure it out. What I like about this window mounted cat bed is the suction cup idea. They are super strong and not some small ordinary cup. One of my cats used to hate the material of the other bed and kept pushing it off. So far with this one he has not destroyed anything. One thing that is a bummer is I can't pull the shade down to block the sunlight but I have a curtain I can use instead. It is worth it though. Now I just need to get another one so my other kitty will have his own! I received this product for free in exchange of my honest, unbiased review.

Savvybaby Muslin Swaddle Blanket Review

I really like these adorable patterned muslin swaddle blankets from Savvybaby. They are very large but light weight. I definitely recommend using muslin material for several reasons. They are light weight, large, breathable, and can be used for several things. I use it as a lightweight blanket, for swaddling, a nursing cover and a burp cloth. I gave up on my other swaddle blankets because they were just too thick and not big enough. So far they have held up nicely and are very strong. I haven't found anything wrong with them so far!

Mamaway Ring Sling Baby Carrier Review

I have reviewed a few other baby carriers and this one stands out. I recently started baby wearing and heard the many benefits! A similar sling baby carrier I have tried did not have the ring on it. I love how it is easily adjustable with that ring. Just like a belt, it slides easily. You have to make sure you watch the instructional videos on their website. At first I was frustrated trying to make it work but you have to do it a certain way to make it adjust easily. My baby was so comfy when I put him in the hip carry position. He is 4 months old now and hold his head pretty good. I have been holding him on my hip lately and this works great for that. The fabric is very strong and the ring is very secure. I was afraid the ring would give out because of the weight. It held up nice and tight. There are so many positions that the sling can do and I am excited to use more as my baby gets bigger. I also breastfeed and it was a success to breastfeed while using this sling! The skin to skin advice for breastfeeding is easy with this. I just really enjoyed how natural his position was on me. It didn't even hurt my back. I definitely recommend Mamaway vs other slings and look forward to using it more. I received this product for free in exchange for my honest, unbiased review.

My Baby Bee Nursing Pads Review

I LOVE these nursing pads. Breastfeeding is so rewarding but can cost some money. It is definitely cheaper than formula so it could be worse. The price for nursing disposable pads get expensive. When I saw these, I just had to try them. I wear nursing pads to protect my sensitive nipples from rubbing against my shirts. They also protect them from the moisture and occasional leaking nipples as well. They are big enough to cover my nipples and comfortable. It is nice that I can now just throw them in the wash and have them for the next day. I do wish they had a carrying pouch to store them for when I am on the go. I just don't want them to get all dirty before I switch pads. One of my shirts you can see the outline of the nursing pad. The stitch in the middle showed most but I rarely wear tight shirts. Otherwise , I love them and love saving $$$. I received this product for free in exchange for my honest, unbiased review.

Life & Food Omega-3 Supreme 1400 mg Fish Oil Concentrate 180ct. Review

I have been on a fish oil pill for a few years now. The current pill I take now is a pretty big size. This fish oil made by Life & Food is so much smaller. I take two with my dinner every night. I did not notice any fish burps since I started taking it a few days ago. They were easy to swallow and I am very happy about that. I take fish oil to help with my cholesterol. Ever since taking it, my levels have decreased by quite a bit. I feel so much better and happier. According to Life & Food, Omega 3 Supreme Benefit: Enteric coated with no fish burps, or after taste, our Supreme grade Omega-3 Fish Oil supplement promotes cardiovascular health, joint support, cognitive support, circulation and helps in maintaining cholesterol levels†. Studies have shown that diets high in Omega-3 fatty acids - EPA and DHA -- may lower a person's health risks. By eating a diet rich in fatty acid containing fish - cold-water swimmers such as pollock, sardines and salmon, can lower your cholesterol and blood pressure. Some studies show there is a proven link that EPA and DHA reduces inflammation from arthritis conditions, such as rheumatoid arthritis. Non-meat sources of Omega-3 include olive oil, walnuts and flaxseed. I received this product for free in exchange for my honest review.

Thin Botanicals Wrap Review

I received this product for free in exchange for my review and honest opinion. I wanted to try this wrap because I hear good things about the results. I was pretty impressed by the results. It was pretty easy to apply, just peel the paper off and stick on. I put it on for 8 hours overnight and by the 3rd night of doing that, my stomach seemed flatter. It did not leave a slimy residue like I thought it would. My stretchmarks even seemed light which is a huge plus. I recently had a baby so I was happy to lighten those up. I would recommend this product for all your mammas!

GoPURE Peppermint Oil Review

So far I have been satisfied with GoPURE products. Before I even opened the package, I could smell this peppermint oil. The bottle is huge so I know it will last a while. It has a very strong scent. If you don't know the benefits of peppermint oil, you should check it out. When I smelled it, my sinuses immediately opened up. I have allergies so my nose gets stuffed up easily. If you have a bad cold and need to open up your sinuses, give this peppermint oil a try. I received this product for free in exchange for my honest review. According to GoPURE some of the benefits include: Relieving symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome Viral and bacterial infections Allergic rash Inflammation of the mouth Muscle and nerve pain Joint conditions Abdominal pain and bloating Pain associated with shingles Tuberculosis Memory issues Nausea induced by chemotherapy Radiation damage Prostate cancer Respiratory

Pacify Mama Teething Necklace/Bracelet

I received a Pacify Mama teething necklace/bracelet for free for my honest review/opinion on it. I tested out the quality as my baby is 3 months and not quite teething yet. I do like the feel of the products. The necklace is a decent size that goes down to my chest level about 16". It is made from silicone that is 100% safe which of course is a must. My baby does like to look and touch it which is great that he likes it. Babies love playing with your necklace, so it will be good that this one won't break. The necklace and bracelet are a nice distraction for fussy babies. The necklace has a breakaway clasp and after tugging it, it did not break apart. I am comfortable wearing it, and my baby likes it. I can't wait to see how his gums will like it. The bracelet just slides over the wrist. It is a simple bracelet but feels nice for the baby to touch. They both are easy to clean; I can just put it in the dishwasher! I believe this is a mommy must have! Pacify Mama did a great job creating this product. http://www.pacifymama.com/

Two Meows Cat Litter Mat Review

I have been testing this cat litter mat out made by a company called Two Meows. First off, the shape is really cute. Before trying out this mat, I had cat litter all over the bathroom quite often. Our litter mats before just was not doing much. The litter always ended up flying off our old mats. Two meows mat is a well built product. It felt very heavy duty and has a non slip bottom to prevent the mat from moving across the bathroom like my old mat. After testing out this product for a week, the amount of litter off the mat decreased significantly! There was still some that came off but I blame my two messy kitties. It is very easy to clean, I just fold and shake it back in the cat box. The cats seem to like it and it feels soft so their paws are comfortable. You can purchase this kitty litter mat at amazon http://amztk.com/littermatgrey. Their site is http://www.twomeows.com. Another plus is they are a small company and back their products 100%! **I received this product for free for my honest opinion and review!

goPURE Natural Eye Cream

I have been using this eye cream by goPURE for 20 days. I have noticed a small reduction in fine lines around my corner eye. It hasn't even been a full month and I love the results so far. I am a new mom and tired eyes are a concern of mine. I still have some puffiness under my eyes, but I believe this product is keeping it from becoming worse. I know I would not want to have dark, really puffy bags under my eyes. I would like to keep using this because I have seen reviews where it took 8 weeks. I am liking what this product has done so far, and looking forward to see how it looks when I keep applying it. I have been applying it morning and night. I dab a small amount under each eye. The smell is nice and smells like plants. I really like how the company has a 100% money back guarantee. I feel much better getting products with a guarantee like that.

Bonafide Baby BreastMilk Storage Bags Review.

I received this product free in exchange for my honest opinion and review. I received these bags and was satisfied! There are 105 bags and a marker in each box. That is a great amount and so nice I don't have to keep searching for markers. I really like how they are a small company from the US and they back their product 100%. I transferred my milk into the storage bag and really liked the design. The size is enough for the amount of milk I want to store. It has 6 oz measurements to keep track and a place to put the name and date. It seals nicely and stand up without falling over. I would consider using these over Lansinoh. Bonafide did a wonderful job creating these bags and would recommend them to every momma! http://www.amazon.com/Bonafide-Baby-Breastmilk-Storage-Bags/dp/B00YLWL26E/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top?ie=UTF8

Smarty Pants Nail Clipper Review

I received this product in exchange for a honest review with my own opinion. I have lots of nail clippers around the house as my nails grow very fast. I was excited to try out this nail clipper from smarty pants. They claim it is professional quality and backed by a lifetime guarantee. A nail clipper with a lifetime guarantee caught my attention. It shows that they back their product 100%. When I used this product to cut my fingernails, I was pretty impressed. It had no problem cutting the nail because of the quality of the cutter.It felt very nice holding it. The shape and design of this nail clipper is made to feel comfortable. I am tired of my fingers always slipping when using my other nail clippers. It also has a built in nail filer which is awesome! I am tired of having to use nail clippers without one or having to slide it out. Overall, this nail clipper is a great product and look forward to using this all the time now! http://www.amazon.com/Professional-Fingernail-Nail-Clipper-Stainless/dp/B00ZGIPXZ8/ie=UTF8?m=A1C3KEL1A2EC0W&keywords=fingernail+clipper

La Lune Naturals Aloe Review

I decided to review this product I got for free for my own honest opinion.  I have tried other aloe products before so I wanted to see if La Lune aloe was any different. There was a difference I noticed. The fruit of the earth and banana boat aloe was thicker than La Lune. Those other brands felt more like a gel consistency. La Lune seemed very thin than what I am used to.  It almost had a water consistency. Personally I would much rather have thicker gel on my sunburn. I do like how my skin felt after putting it on. It didn't give me a sticky feeling like the other gels leave. It is always nice especially if I need some aloe on my back and don't want my clothes sticking to my skin. This aloe from La Lune is pretty good overall and love that it has a pump included.

Samsung S5 S4 Sport Band Review

I really needed a arm band for my Samsung S5 so luckily I could try this product out for free in exchange for my honest review. I really loved it after I tested it out! I went for a half hour walk and was pretty impressed. This product has a pocket you slide your phone into and it held on to my phone nicely. The band did not slide down and was easy to adjust. I am happy that I don't have to put my phone in my pocket. It was nice to have easy access to it instead of trying to get it out of my pocket while in the middle of working out. A lot of my workout clothes don't even have pockets to begin with. I was also able to see my progress on my phone while I was using my workout app. Definitely recommend. I do want to mention I have not tried any other sports band so I can't compare.
