Excellent Noise Cancelling






I was very pleased to receive this product after trying several different types this one with it's multi function capabilities really has me hooked. Easy set up and pairing with your devices, it can handle more than one which I find very handy. I did however have a hard time at first after pairing hearing another party on the phone, not sure if it was me or the other person. It is a sporadic thing. Although I have no problems with music, walking and listening with any of my devices.

Product - device, accessories for ear buds and charger with instructions.Pairing- Power on with multi-function button press and hold for a count of five, make sure Bluetooth is on you will see TALON click and connect.Charge either to your PC, Laptop or USB plug. Charging red LED light stays on, when charge complete the red light turn off.


ProsEasy PairingClarityComplete Noise cancellingFits comfortable yet snugMany attachments from soft to hard ear budsLightweightSleek


ConsSporadic problem with some phones, not sure why it is probably user problems (new product, learning)


With multi-function button I have nearly lost my mind, now I will explain all the errors I made inadvertently. I am attempting to become more tech savvy; just as soon as I think I have it figured out I manage to mess up. That key has cut off people, blared music instead into my ears which are sensitive since I have holes in both ear drums, not a nice thing to happen. Once I get used to the product I am sure this will all work out. I can say enough about the slick design and how easy it is to forget you have it on. I can block out the world and enjoy my music, talk on the phone, dictate to Siri and my speech to text app works wonderful with this product. I am not sure I could ask for any more than this product provides. I received this product at a discount or free for my unbiased honest opinion.#FirebirdPremiumTALON


An Apple a Day

Johnny Appleslice Peeler and Slicer Combo Kit (Grannysmith Green) 

  I decided I wanted to try this apple slicer, and I must admit I was skeptical, but that is healthy. I bought into the whole bagel slicer years ago that did not work, so my expectations were not high.  I was shocked at the ease of use of this little device. Do not let it fool you this is slicker than anything I have ever used as well as very sharp. Make sure you keep it away from youngsters.

My purpose was to do an entire bushel of apples and freeze them, however I was too busy playing with this to get them covered before they started turning, so I made an apple pie tonight instead and will finish tomorrow.  I received this product at greatly discounted rate in trade for an honest unbiased review.   I would purchase this product at full retail again, but it seems as though this product will last a very long time. #Johnnyappleslicer

You will notice I have many pictures, I was just amazed and had to keep trying apple after apple. Finally a device that actually does what it says it will do.  For a mom and baker this is a must have.  I almost forgot to mention the peeler, you will see in the picture I was able to peel the apple with one continuous motion. Good grip handle even with arthritic hands. The product box looks like it has something on it, I had just washed my hands when I removed it; those are wet finger stains.





A Hit With Puppy Pads by PetsBond

I received this purchase at a highly rated discount in exchange for an unbiased honest review of the product. I chose this product and hoped I would be able to review it. I can't find a pad this size on the open market in my area. My Chihuahua is getting older and not as fast as he used to be, so going out at night is not an option. We live in a rural wooded area with many other little creatures of the night and they are all much bigger than he is, and he can't out run them any longer. His sight is terrible and his misjudges his aim often missing or just catching the corner of the pad. Quite frankly it is killing the finish on my hardwood flooring. Regardless of how fast we clean it up, he also refuses to do his bigger business outside, the grass scares him. I have trained him on pads since he was six weeks old, it had never been a problem until now.

These bigger pads was strange to him, they are made well, very absorbent, better than the ECO ones I use now that seriously do not hold fluid and by morning are just a mess because they start to breakdown hence ECO friendly. It took me three days after using this product to get him to use them. He refused water or food, but he kept sniffing around them. It covers a large area, he knows not to get anything on the furniture it is a no no. Finally in the middle of the night I hear him creeping and YES we have touchdown! No mess on the floor, he went directly in the center of the pad. This has never happened before. He was so proud of himself he came to wake me up. Dancing around the living room like he did when he was a pup, then pranced back to bed.

I will be purchasing these again! They have no odor as some pads smell like a chemical, they lay flat and there is no leaking through. I have taken pictures to show you the difference in the pads we can purchase here, and the larger one is the Petsbond brand; as you can see they cover a larger area.



OxGord 17pc Set Flat Cloth Mesh Gray & Black Broken Stripe Seat Covers Set



4 out of 5 Stars  

OxGord 17pc Set Flat Cloth Mesh Gray & Black Broken Stripe Seat Covers Set - Airbag Compatible - Front Low Back Buckets - 50/50 or 60/40 Rear Split Bench - 5 Head Rests - Universal Fit for Car, Truck, Suv, or Van - FREE Steering Wheel Cover





I received this product at a reduced price in for my honest and unbiased opinion, and as an added benefit I also test this product by using it as we would daily. Including putting in a wheelchair having to separate the seats, tossing things in and out of the back, getting in and out of the car, going grocery shopping, and taking the dogs out for a ride. I needed to see if hair stayed on the product. 

Upon opening the product, all looked good, packaged well, explanation of contents very good it comes in a zippered bag much like that you get when you buy a comforter in the store. The bag contained all pieces, nothing missing. Seat belt cushions, there were four, steering wheel cover, five head rest covers, two bucket seat back covers and base covers, set base cover for the back bench seat, and cover fort the back bench seat with a bra zipper that allows you to lower one seat at a time without stretching the fabric too much, and a bag of hooks, A LOT OF HOOKS.  Of those hooks I could not use the majority of them. 

This was not an easy project and I will explain more later in this review. We did get it on the best we could. It covered the seats the best it could but it was evident halfway through it was not made for all SUV's, honestly not even sure how to classify our car I had to call Autozone to fine out. We drive a Prius 07, they said the closest we would come is something for an SUV. 

We needed to hook the elastic strings to one another underneath the seats, this could not be accomplished, we tucked them deep between the plastic of the area holding the seat and as close to the bottom as we could get. Putting the back on the bucket seats was just as difficult due to the car itself and not the product. A Prius has Velcro holding the current seat covers from the manufacturer on, which cannot be removed or tucked without the seat sticking in an upright position far too close and uncomfortable bunching up the large Velcro area under the seat back. The head rests went on fine in the front, but we had to make our own holes for the back headrests to be put on.  There is no opening for the seat belt holder itself to be used at all so, we left it covered. 

Putting the bra on so the seats could be split and one lay down- we did have a little problem with the zipper. It came apart, but we were able to fix it since we have the wheelchair in the car most of the time it was not an issue. 

Pros-
It looks good, much better than the seats that are 8 years old. It fits snugly and makes the car look more appealing compared to what it was.  The cushions for the seat belt I do admit are nice to have and you don't get that ride up where you have to constantly adjust the seat belt while driving or riding. It did not become displaced although after several uses you will notice a little bit wrinkled as we got in and out, or when groceries where taken in and out, I tried but it did not happen. Dog hair does not easily stick to the seats it is easily brushed away.

Cons -
The instructions are terrible, minimal at the least. We had to decide how to put this on basically by ourselves with a great deal of "oh that is what that is for". They do need to work on those it would cause less stress when two people are trying to work together, there was a whole lot of sweating going on. This material can only be stretched so much before it tears, if you have long fingernails I suggest you be very careful or you will tear this material.  

In conclusion, for the current price of this set I would buy it again at retail, but I would hope they had one that was specific to the hybrid cars like the Prius and take into account the original seating can't be removed and add Velcro instead of the current elastic straps and hooks. There also needs to be a better instruction packet that comes with this set as there are far too many straps and hooks to know what to do with.

Ailkin Ultra Slim Lightweight Kindle Paperwhite Case With Auto Wake Up/Sleep Function-Black

Ailkin Ultra Slim Lightweight Kindle Paperwhite Case With Auto Wake Up/Sleep Function-Black 





I absolutely am in love with this product, easy to use, saves on power, compact yet very sturdy and protects your paperwhite with the sooth microfiber interior. Please watch the video review on youtube .

When you put your Kindle Paperwhite in, my only suggestion is to make sure the opening at the bottom is where your on/off switch is as well as charger, then pop it in at all four corner to make sure it is secure. You will hear the snap sound, then you know it is in firmly.

Ailkin has really made a great product, I thought I would be able to upload video here, unfortunately that is not so. This product is all that it's description claims. A hard case lined with a wonderful gray microfiber to prevent any scratches to your Kindle Paperwhite. Once the lid closes securely with the magnetic closures it puts your machine to sleep. I suggest you play around with it a minute or two, you will get it.  Close it less than a minute then open and your paperwhite comes back on the swipe screen.

I tried this several times, not sure out of amazement that it worked, or that I was thrilled playing with it. I am have been using a leather case that does not have the on/off capability that this just tickles me to death. The hard plastic cover it not only stylish but makes it simple to stow away your Kindle Paperwhite in your purse without worries anything will slip in between the screen and top closure. I know I have worried about that in the past with the simple leather covers.

You will be pleased with this purchase from Amazon.
Note: I received this product at a highly reduced price for testing and review purposes for an honest 100% unbiased opinion. However I will be purchasing several of these for the Christmas holiday for my family whom are avid readers.

#gocommando! Flushable Wipes



This was my package when I received them, and since have shared two and plan on keeping one for myself!  


I have been using Cottonelle brand tissue and flushable wipes for a few months and find it refreshing as well as a cleansing experience more than what I was buying before.   I keep a travel pack with me at all times, because you never know when you will need one.


Since they are flushable I do not feel uncomfortable using them at a friends house, camping, or at a store while I am out. They are slim, and fit in a pocketbook (purse), very fashionable colors, and easy to get to with the nice open and closure feature. 


In conclusion no go is perfect without Cottonelle® Flushable Cleansing cloths.  #gocommando 

Very Premium Cinnamon

Cinnamon Saigon Organic Premium Fine Ground Powder 8oz from The Cinnamon Shop Delicious & Sweet Perfect for Baking






The cinnamon from the Cinnamon shop has the best smell ever, and I mean full on it is Autumn and the fun has only started. The aroma alone is worth it, the deep color, strong fragrance, and not to mention the taste will leave you with one of those kid moments taking you back in time when mom made cinnamon rolls and all you could do was make grunting noises until your eyes rolled back in your head.

I know that my grown children have come to my house to stare at the bag, I have been asked several times when I was going to use it. They know that pumpkin roll season is approaching, and I always have cinnamon in my coffee. I had not even tried it when my daughter walked in and asked what I was cooking that smelled so good. Oh the disappointment on her face. Yet, hours later everyone was very pleased with cinnamon buns.

This cinnamon has a more pure taste than any other I have tried; it mixes well and doesn't clump in your coffee. During special seasons such as the swiftly approaching fall season I usually sit and grate cinnamon sticks which takes forever I no longer will have to do that. A full 8 ounces seems like a lot to some people, but for bakers no longer will you have to buy three bottles at the local store.

The only complaint I have is the zippered top, when I opened the package it did not tear straight across, and trying to use the closure to zip it shut took a few tries, but it works. For those of you wondering how long it will last, rule of thumb since it is in a dark bag you can refrigerate it and it will last about two to three years. There is another way to tell and that is to open it and smell it, is the aroma still strong? Then it is good, if the smell has faded away it is time to toss it.

I will be purchasing this item, and trying out others in this line since my experience has been such a positive one. I recommend this product.
I have received this product for testing purposes for free for my honest and 100% unbiased opinion.

A Fog Free Shave

Fogless Shower Mirror - EASY INSTALL - SHATTER PROOF - Includes Razor Hook - Modern - Anti-Fog Nanotechnology - Exclusive To Amazon


Cassani Fogless Shower Mirror - order here







The Cassani Fogless Shower mirror is oval and measures  7.5 x 5.7 x 0.1 inches, it comes with two different hooks, mirror, and instructions. Please read the instructions before you begin to unpack your mirror as it contains pertinent information on installation.

Decide where you want your mirror, it is preferable to have it out of running water range so it does not obstruct your view by water splashing on it, although keep it nearer to the shower head. This may require you to stand in your tub to find the perfect height. Once you do clean the area well wipe dry and use rubbing alcohol to clean the surface and apply the first hook, it is the one with only one hook on it.  Remove backing and apply the hook to the wall for at least 45 seconds.  

Do not remove the covering from the mirror yet, but set it on the hook and find a place to put the second hook which will hold your razor that is why there are two hooks on it. We have found you can put your razor on it across or hang the head through it leaving the metal blades inward or outward whichever you prefer. Again follow the above instructions on how to hand the second hook same as the first. Allow both to adhere for a couple hours, then remove the covering from the mirror and hang it on the first hook, and the razor in the second.

Now you are ready for your shaving experience with your new Fogless Shower Mirror. Cleaning the mirror is not difficult, but do not using cleaning supplies. You can rinse it with water and use your hand to wipe of excess water, or use water and vinegar 50/50 doing the same process by wiping it off with your hand. Cleaning supplies and rubbing it with a towel or cloth will scratch your mirror. These do not last forever and will need to be replaced, but if you take care and follow the instructions you will get your moneys worth out of your product.

I am pleased with this purchase, it also gave use some family time installing the mirror as everyone wanted to try it out. *This review is my 100% honest opinion, I have received this product for testing purposes at a reduced rate or free. 

I recommend this product for everyone that shaves in the shower and tired of fogged up mirrors, or hair in the sink.

Tame the Mane with Mr Rugged Beard Balm Conditioner

Mr Rugged Beard Balm Conditioner 1.8oz with Organic Argan Oil - Jojoba Oil - Olive Oil - Beeswax - Cedar Wood Essential Oils

Mr. Rugged Beard Balm Conditioner

Mr Rugged Beard Balm Conditioner 1.8oz with Organic Argan Oil - Jojoba Oil - Olive Oil - Beeswax - Cedar Wood Essential Oils made for the hard to handle wiry, untamed beard that some men unfortunately must deal with when they grow a beard. I noticed my son go through an array of all kinds of crazy looking bottles of balm and oils for his beard. The result was usually a very deep disappointment, or anger at the price he paid just for the name of the product.

As I was browsing one of my sites I noticed Mr. Rugged Beard Balm Conditioner, and I could get it at a reduced rate to test the product so, I thought how could it hurt to try. I was unsure at first if he would be receptive to the idea so I called his significant other to ask, she approved and did not think he would  have a problem. How exactly do you go about telling your son "hey buddy your beard is looking rough."  An added plus was that in most part it is all natural.

On with the story, Okay, so it comes, and I give it to him. He looks at me and asked if I was trying to say something, yes I am I think you should try this, look at the ingredients, and smell it. He smiled and we talked about how he was having a time with itching, and trying to control his beard, and had pretty much given up on trying to find something that really worked for more than a day. He is on day three now, after he used Mr. Rugged for the first time after he showered he called me to come look. He never calls me to come look at anything.

The first thing I asked him was did he cut his beard? He said no he used the Beard Balm. I smelled it and I have to say it is a very manly clean scent, it felt soft to me. I asked about the itching and he said it had not started itching yet. So, we decided to give it a couple more days. No itching, no irritation, only a nice shine and manageable beard. I was told to keep Mr. Rugged Beard Balm in my favorites so he doesn't have to search around for it.

He did have to use slightly more than a dime size, but I do think it is due to the length and thickness of his beard. One extremely happy customer that will gladly purchase this product again and suggest it to any man with a beard. As I said earlier I purchased this product at a reduced price/or free in return for my honest unbiased review. Not every review will get five stars, but this product works beyond what my expectations were.

I am adding two before and two after pictures so you can see the difference he wakes and showers only to have this wild mess on his face, the second set is the tamed mane. You may notice one side of his beard grow much differently than the other, but with the beard balm it is barely noticeable.
