Ozeri adjustable oscillating tower fan

I purchased the Ozeri adjustable oscillating tower fan for my craft room. My room is large and it can get a bit warm in there during the summer even with my central air. I needed something to help circulate the air . This fan does that very well. In my opinion it puts out plenty of air and it being oscillating makes it even better. It will keep your room cool.
There are three speeds: High, Med, Low and even on low it puts out quite a gush of air.
The fan is very quite.
There are also three modes which are breeze patterns; Sleep, nature, and normal
There is a timer which goes in increments of hours from one hour all the way up to twelve hours.
This fan also comes with a remote control which sets in the top of the fan in it's on little slot when not in use.
The fan is nice in appearance.
Below is my only cons for this fan.
The instructions are not that clear as for as putting it together. It does not tell you which screw goes where. You have to figure that one out yourself. If you add the part of the base that gives the fan height you will need a philips screw driver but if you don't use it a screwdriver is not needed.
The fan is said to be adjustable and the only way it is adjustable is by leaving the stand portion out when putting it together. There is no height adjustment other than that. With the stand it goes to forty-two inches and without thirty-two inches. I chose to leave the that portion of the stand out because of my kitty cats running through the house and my granddaughter playing. With just the base attached it is not as likely to be knocked over. I feel it is very stable with just the base.
I was offered this product for free of cost. I am leaving a review because I chose to and no other reason. I I am leaving feedback based on my own personal experience, but under FTC regulation I must disclose I have received it free or discounted.

Ariete – DeLonghi Stainless Steel Ice Cream Maker



There is no doubt about it, this Ariete – DeLonghi Stainless Steel Ice Cream Maker has put some smiles on my face. I have been making homemade ice cream for many years and have been using an old fashioned type freezer where you had to add the ice and salt around the canister. This can all be somewhat time consuming not to mention the work. This ice cream maker takes all the work out of it and makes making ice cream making so much more enjoyable. I have not only been making ice cream but also frozen yogurt .
It is so simple to use. I just mix my ingredients and put them in the little canister, put it in the machine, put the lid in place, press menu and make my selection and then press start. There is also a selection for setting the time you want it to freeze. It is so simple to use and your ice cream gets nice and firm almost like store bought.
Not only is it easy to use but super easy to clean. After removing your ice cream just do a good rinsing as soon as you empty it and all is good.
This comes with the freezer, the canister and lid along with a measuring cup and spatula. It does not come with a recipe book  which is my ONLY complaint . I do love this freezer.

Minch Tote



The  K05 pu leather bag is very nice looking with it's beautiful red lining. The bag is by the brand Minch. The faux leather bag does have it's brand stamped on it's side. The straps are ten inches tall and are well sewn onto the bag the the red side of the strap sewn into the inside and the black on the outside which should help it to stay well attached. It shouldn't come unattached to the bag being swen like this. The bottom of the bag is fourteen inches long and four inches wide. and the bag itself is thirteen inches tall. It has an attached zippered pouch made of red fabric for  those little extras you might need to carry. This bag is ideal for carrying to work with all the little extras you might need during the day, like an extra sweater or whatever you carry to work with you.  It is even large enough that you could put a small fold up umbrella in the bag. This bag comes with a little attached tag that has care instructions and it has an extra bag for storing the bag when not in use. On this instruction tag it does say to not put too much weight in the bag.

Chillax Cooler

                                                                                   

I love my  Chillax Cooler which is stainless steel and is vacuum Insulated. If you are tired of your can drink being hot when you get down to those last drinks and end up throwing your drink away because those last sips are not so cold but have gotten hot. This is the cooler for you. It keeps the drink cold down to that very last drop. Often I will be doing something around the house and sit my drink down and when I find where I left it sitting my drink is no longer cold but warm. This can cooler has changed that. When I find where I left it sitting my drink is still cool for me.
This can cooler is in one of  my favorite colors a beautiful rich lime green. The cooler comes in two parts. The can holder and an upper part which screws on to the part that secures  the can into the cooler. The ring that secures the can in the cooler is black. I tested the cooler with a 12oz cold drink  and I also tested it with a   16oz can. The 12oz fits fine and the holding ring screws on perfect but the 16oz can does fit in the holder but the securing ring will not go down over the 16oz. So I say it doesn't fit the larger can.
I received this can cooler at a discounted price for my honest review. This is my honest review of this cooler.

Pizza Cutter

                                                                         

 
I often look outside the box on what different things can be used for. On this  Pizza Cutter Wheel with Stainless Steel blade we used it to cut up a grilled ham and cheese sandwich in bite size pieces for my little great granddaughter. He mom had fixed her a sandwich and asked where the pizza cutter was so she could cut it up. So we decided to check out my new pizza cutter. Other than cutting pizzas and sandwiches it can also be used to cut pastry.
This pizza cutter cut the sandwich very nicely with no problems. The blade is very sharp and does have a plastic guard to put in place when it is not being used. The only thing, being used to a pizza cutter with a handle, this felt a bit awkward but that could be just needing to get used to it. The blade is not only sharp but much larger than a blade on a regular type pizza cutter. It was very easy to clean and does come completely apart. The holder seems to be made of a firm rubber like product and the shield is made of a hard plastic. There are instructions on the box on how to disassemble the pizza cutter. It does not say anywhere with the item if it is dishwasher safe or not.
I did receive this pizza cutter at a discounted price for my honest opinion. This is my honest review of this pizza cutter.

This white bonded Nylon sewing thread is a very strong durable thread.  This thread is very strong and can be used for many sewing projects especially if you are a hand quilter, I feel it would be great for that. I personally do not recommend it for an embroidery machine. In my opinion it is more of an upholstery type thread. It does have a beautiful shine to it. The spool is large and has lots of thread on it. I am posting a picture for a comparison on the size of the thread.

I ordered the Clementine Womens Triblend Short-Sleeve T-Shirt in aqua for myself in an X-large and it fit but was very snug. I like my clothes to fit loosely. That being said I had my granddaughter to try it on. She wears a size 8-10.It fit her nicely and she is very pleased with the shirt. 

The fabric is very soft and light weight and the shirt seems to be well made. The sleeves are just the right length  It has a rounded neck which has binding made of the same fabric which scoops down just low enough but not too low. This is a very attractive little shirt. It also seems to be wrinkle free. When it was taken out of the package after being shipped it had no wrinkles and if it was gonna be wrinkled that shipping should of done it.

I did receive this shirt at a reduced price for my honest review.

 ASSEM® Wireless LED Solar Powerd Security Motion Sensor Light is a great light. I put mine on my front steps because the steps are wide and if you come up on them in the night you can easily trip if you are not familiar with the steps. I have the light just laying on the side of the step and all is working great. Last night I went out to take a picture of the light and when I opened the door to go out the light was shining bright as if something had activated it. I look around to see what it was and decided it was my outside dog. No that wasn't it. It had been activated by a frog. Yes you read that right. After carefully examining the situation, I discovered there was a frog just sitting there looking at the light almost as if it was hypnotized. He was not the one that had it activated there was a frog on the opposite  side (the charging end) that had jumped causing the light to be activated. So as you can tell it will be activated with small things.   

The light shines dim once it gets dark and when activated it gets brighter. This light is totally solarized and seems to last most of the night. It does not have an on/off switch that you switch but you turn it upside down to turn it off. Also included is screws to mount it with.

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.

I did receive this oil at a discounted price for my honest opinion.

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. 

I did receive this oil at a discounted price for my honest review.  

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.

I received this light at a discounted price for my honest review.

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.

My Blue 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..
