I for one hate the sprays for repelling insects. I cannot stand the feel of it on my skin. More times than one I have refused to be sprayed with the stuff and anyone who has lived in Louisiana will tell you the mosquitos will eat you up if you don't use something to repel them. So when I got the opportunity to review the Mosquito Repellent Bracelet Kit  I was a bit hesitant but am so proud I agreed to give it a try. There was something that needed to be done outside and so I put the bracelet on my wrist and was amazed with it. I did not get bit one time. So for now own when I am working in the yard I will wear mine. These things are great. 

The package includes the bracelet, which can be worn on either the wrist or ankle and a carabiner clip which can be hung on the belt loop or where ever you desire.  Four refills which are supposed to last up to fifteen days. The instructions included are very easy to follow. 

The ingredients are citronella, geranium, peppermint, and lavender.

Tree Wall Decal

I had a hallway wall that was blank and I had thought about putting a tree decal on it for sometime but I didn't want to spend the outrageous price of most of the ones I had found.  When I came across this one I was very pleased with what I was seeing. When I received it I couldn't wait to get it put on the wall. I was a bit insecure with it thinking I would need help for I am short and couldn't see how I could get one of these up  by myself. Well let me tell you it was a breeze. All pieces are in numbered sections in lengths that are easy to handle. I put it up in no time and was very pleased with it. You make sure you match all the sections and do not over-lap them and all is good. When I got the tree itself up, I almost didn't put the leaves on the tree because I liked it so much like that. But I went ahead and put the leaves, bird nest and the birds and wording on it. I did not do the frames for I want more protection for my pictures. These are just vinyl frames that go around a picture.  It also comes with a growth chart that I did not use.

 If you are looking for a tree decal I recommend this one for it is easy to install and is quite large.

Rose Essential Oil

Oh my the Rose Essential Oil is the best. The smell is like going up to the rose bush and breathing in the wonderful aroma of the rose.  This oil is a very good grade of oil.. It actually smells like a rose not something they put in a bottle and tried to make it smell rosey.

The rose essential is an antidepressant and will help if you are having problems with depression. Just put some of this oil in your diffuser and lay down in your bed and it will be like sleeping in a bed of rose petals.  There are many other uses for this oil  to include adding it to your own homemade bath bombs and lotions.

Jasmine

I was excited to get to add Jasmine to my oil collection. It is one I did not have. I have been doing oils for a couple of years and  you can always find one you don't have and never know when you are gonna need it.I personally prefer oils over prescription meds. It is natural. This Jasmine has the most pleasant scent and on that, it did not surprise me when looking in my oil books the uses for Jasmine are anxiety, depression, menstrual problems/PMS, skin problems( eczema, wrinkles, greasy) frigidity

You can either apply a couple of drops on the location or apply on  Vita Flex points. Or my favorite diffuse in your favorite oil diffuser. If you are feeling stressed diffuse this and feel yourself calming down. 

This seems to be a very good grade of oil and if it wasn't it wouldn't have such a lovely smell.

 The cheaper oils always smell over perfumed I guess you would say.

Table lamp

This is a wonderful little goose neck desk or table top lamp. For me it  is perfect for my sewing room. It is small enough and light enough that I can move it around wherever needed but large enough to get the job done, whether that is trying to see how to thread a needle or what else may come up like threading tiny beads. The light has very low setting, which would be ideal by the bed with just enough light to see but dim enough it wouldn't bother your bed partner. Then there is the medium tone and a super bright.

The light charges off of your computer or any other USB charging system you may use. The light last about an hour and is turned off/ on by touch. It is black with a black base. The charging cord is white.. The neck as I  described above is goose neck and can be adjusted to your needs. I am very pleased with this light.

Tweezer set

This little set of tweezers are very nice. They seem to hold onto what ever you are attempting to use them for. The set includes three tweezers and a carrying case for them.The carrying case is of a man made vinyl and softly lined with a velcro closure. The tweezers are stainless steel, one of the slanted ones being a beautiful metallic purple. The second is slanted and stainless steel. The third is pointed and this one is for removing those little tiny infected hairs or splinters. This also comes with a pdf file for explaining the uses of the tweezers. I for one was not sure of the use of the pointed one but I had my own ideas. This set seems to be quality made. I am very pleased with this set.

I did receive this set of tweezers at a discounted price to review for my honest opinion.

Travel Wall Charger

The BESTEK 100V-220V Travel Wall Charger is perfect if you are traveling. It has connections for US, AU, EU, &UK. There is four USB slots for plugging in your cell phone or what ever needs charging. When plugged in, the USB  slots light up red and green. It has a lock switch to lock the plug which folds down when not in use and when in use you simply slide the switch and it is locked. For me this charging system works great when I have the grandkids over. Everyone seems to all always need something charged and this charger fill the bill. If you are traveling to other counties you will be very well set up with this system.

My Blue lights

Super Bright String Lights

I love my Super Bright String Lights which are solar powered. there is a total of one hundred twenty tiny blue lights. They are tiny but very bright. On these lights is enough lenght from the solar panel to the lights to be able to decorate without it causing problems. On the back of the solar panel is two switches. One for turning it off and on and the other is a selection switch. You can leave the lights flashing or non flashing. these little lights are the perfect shade of blue. I love my lights.

Café de Loja

Café de Loja Premium dark roast fresh gourmet coffee comes in whole beans so you need a means of grinding the coffee beans.. My luck my coffee grinder decided it wanted to be trashed so I substituted and put the beans in the food processor. Where there is a will there is a way. So I ground the coffee beans and made me a very good cup of rich full flavored coffee. I put the grounds in my keruing coffee filter and used the Keuring. This is a good grade of coffee and you can get several cups out of the 3.5 ounces.

Great Sewing kit for traveling or college student

 I purchased the Sewing Thread Spool Kit with thirty nine spools of thread thinking it would help me with my thread color collection.. There is always a few colors you don't have, no matter how many spools of thread you have. These spools are not quite large enough for me to use on my sewing machine because after putting some on my bobbin it would probably cut me short on the amount of thread I had for sewing the item. But I do find it would be a great little emergency sewing kit for hand sewing. It comes complete with thirty nine very popular colors along with a measuring tape which is 60 in. /150 cm long, A package of needles for hand sewing along with a set of snips for cutting the thread. All in an easy to store case with snap lid and a handle.  The thread is a polyester and seems to be very strong. I do sew a lot and know the difference for I have gotten thread that would break very easily . This will not. I feel this would be a great kit for traveling or someone going away to college..

Raw Shea Butter

Since I have been doing essential oils, I have been interested in making my own lotions and one of the ingredients often used is Shea Butter. I really love this butter. After receiving it I have found so many uses for it.   It can be used for different skin rashes, sun burns, insect bites, even used during pregnancy it can help  prevent those awful stretch marks. You can use it for burns when getting burnt from hot grease, you know when the bacon is frying and the hot grease pops out on you. We have all had that happen  while cooking.  This really is a butter you need to keep around. This is a good quality of butter not a knock off with other things added. It is 100% pure shea butter.

Smith's Mason Jar Pump

I love this Smith's Mason Jar pump. This pump will fit most small mouth jars regardless of the jar size, from a half pint, a pint or a quart size jar. It is made of brushed  stainless steel so it will not rust. The pump pumps easily so that is an access. It was very easy to prime it did not take a lot of pumping to get it started.  You can use it for liquid soap in your bathroom  or even use liquid dishwashing detergent at the kitchen sink. The pump comes in two parts, the main part with the pump and the tube to go down in the jar. This tube is long enough for a quart size jar. It does not have to be used for only soap . You could use it for your homemade lotions as well or whatever you desire.

Essential oil diffuser

This little diffuser is ideal for a bedroom nightstand. It is large enough to do the job but small enough to not take up too much room. This diffuser comes with four parts, the base with the lid, the electrical cord and a s small plastic container to use to fill the diffuser. The lid has a slight screw to it to take it off. The light can be used on or off simply by pushing the button. When the light is on  it changes by fading in and out and there are seven different colors. When there is no water in the diffuser it will not work, therefore once it diffuses all the water out in the light mist, it will then shut off. Thee is also a power light that shows when it is powered on. You can add your favorite essential oil to the water and have a good peaceful nights rest.

Executive Aromatherapy Diffuser

The  Executive Aromatherapy Diffuser is a very attractive diffuser. It is quite elegant looking.  It has two speeds, high and low and you merely change this by pushing the button on the right. You can use it with the lights on or off.   When the lights are on they are just attractive with the light changing from one color to the next with a fade in and fade out effect. The light does not put out a lot of light. To me it just gives a nice relaxing effect.

The water tank holds approximately one and a half cups of water. It will diffuse for eight hours on high mode and  twelve in low mode. So since it will go all night, put you a little lavender oil in it and get you a good nights sleep. Or try a combination of lemon, lavender and peppermint and wake up feeling great the next morning. Or just your favorite oil whatever you choose to relax.

The diffuser comes in three pieces, the base, the top and the electrical part along with a complete diagram and instructions to include a few oils suggestions. It also has instructions on how to properly clean it.

HDMI Switch

The HDMI Switch with the remote has solved a problem we had. My granddaughter would want to play games and  it would mean pulling out the television and plugging everything in. Now with the HDMI switch box the problem has been solved. The switch box has one input and three outputs on the back and comes with four HDMI cords for hooking everything up. Along with the power card and remote. It is very easy to hook up and and comes with clear instructions.

Field Peas & Corn Bread

I am a girl from the south and was raised on peas, beans and potatoes. I had eaten field peas most of my life but they were always fresh field peas. I had never eaten them dried. Those were saved for planting. I got excited when I saw the dried field peas and wanted to give them a try. I cooked them with a bit of salt, ham and ham base. They were very good.  The peas were clean and I did not see any bad peas in the bag.Yes they do taste different than the fresh ones but they are still good. There is also a recipe on the back of the bag I will be trying..

25 watt dimmable light bulbs

I recently purchased these 25 watt dimmable light bulbs for my Himalayan salt lamp. I was told I should leave it burning all the time. So in that I knew I would need extra bulbs. It is better to always be prepared. The bulbs come in a box of twelve. Each bulb is boxed in its own individual box and clearly labeled.  Therefore there is no problem with storing and it help to prevent breakage. Each bulb fits an E 12 socket which is a screw in. The bulbs are clear and are very bright for such a small bulb.

Heylr Manual Can Opener

The Heylr manual can opener  is not only a can opener but it also has the hook like bottle opener. This can opener has very smooth round handles that are not too large for small hands  and is made of stainless steel although the handle for turning it is made of a hard type plastic. This opener also has a little beveled edge that could be used for getting the lid out when it falls into the can.  A nd we have all had that problem if you have ever used a manual can opener.. I have even cut my hand from it..But with the bevel edge, that is actually a part of the bottle opener, you can get the lid out easily. The handles have hooks on them which makes it easy to hang it if you don't want it in your drawer. The opener seems to be sharp and well made and is dishwasher safe.
