Garlic Press and Peeler Set Review

I received this Garlic Press and Peeler Set for free in exchange for my honest unbiased opinion of the product and it can be purchased on Amazon by Clicking Here
I am very impressed with this Garlic Press and Peeler Set! It honestly exceeds all of my expectations and I highly recommend! I was a bit skeptical that the peeler would actually peel the garlic for me but it really did. It was so simple to use too! Simply put garlic inside the peeler and start to roll it as you would maybe a pill. If you want you could also squeeze the peeler in between your fingers almost as if you  are giving the garlic a "mini massage". Once the garlic comes out it is completely peeled saving you time and energy from crushing the garlic or having to cut off the ends to get it loose from the peel. I was so fascinated that I peeled a few garlics. 
The Garlic press is also amazing! I own one but it is not nearly as efficient as this one. This garlic press has totally replaced the other garlic press and it is now the only one I use. It is literally the best. With the other garlic press I own I had to scrape the inside of the press to get whatever was left in the press into my food I was preparing. With this garlic press I am able to put an entire garlic into it and have it all pressed out into the pot or pan I am using. There is no need for me to scrape the remainder of the garlic because it all falls in the food! It finely minces the garlic beautifully and the best part is that I do not have to peel the garlic ahead of time to get it minced. The garlic peeler does its magic and delivers great service. 
Overall, I love the quality, feel and design of this garlic peeler. I love that all the pieces to the press are attached so I am not fumbling in any drawer looking for pieces to assemble the garlic press together like with the other one I own. I love that the ends of the handles have handles if I decide I want to hang it up in my kitchen. I simply love the sophistication of this product and I also love that the peeler really delivers and is a time saver. I truly and honestly recommend this set and promise that you will love it as much as I do!!!! Honest! 

BONUS EBOOK: "50 Delicious Recipes Using Crushed and Sliced Garlic" is provided in an email after your purchase of this set. 

Here is what the company has to say about the product:

  • DURABLE AND DISHWASHER SAFE. Since the press is made from solid, high quality stainless steel, and the peeler from tough FDA approved silicone, these kitchen gadgets will last as long as you need them and are perfectly safe to clean in the dishwasher.
  • MAKES A BEAUTIFUL GIFT. Not only is the Alpha Grillers Garlic Press a gorgeously designed kitchen tool, it comes in an elegant, fabric lined presentation case (check out the second image on the left). A perfect birthday or holiday present for anyone that loves to cook.
  • PRESS UNPEELED GARLIC AND GINGER. Thanks to the heavy duty construction and ergonomic design, you can easily mince both unpeeled garlic cloves and peeled ginger. What's more, there is next to no waste: garlic comes out, peel stays in.
  • WANT PEELED CLOVES FOR SLICING? NO PROBLEM! Crushed garlic is delicious and versatile, but sometimes you want to slice it up! Being the only press on Amazon to come with a garlic peeler, we've got you covered.

Hango Lunch Bag Set of Two Sizes (Small and Large) Review

I received this set of Hango Lunch Bags for free in exchange for my honest unbiased opinion of the product and it can be purchased on Amazon by Clicking Here
These lunch bags are so beautifully crafted and pretty to look at. They're a set of two different sized bags for different occasions so you are sure that they will accommodate all your needs. These beautiful pink bags are crafted with zippers made of stainless steel and made of high quality material (polyester 300D with high density) so you are sure that they are durable and will last you a long time and it has one of the best thermal insulation systems to keep your food hot/cold longer.
These lunch bags make taking lunch on the go whether it be to work, school, or just anywhere fun and stylish! The larger bag was able to fit 8 cans of Apple-Ahhh-Ritas with plenty of room remaining while the smaller bag was able to hold sandwiches and bags of chips easily. I love the sack that it comes in also. When not in use I put the bags in there so they don't get dusty and so I can preserve its new look. If they get dirty there's no problem though because cleaning these are simple. A little soapy water and a towel will do the trick. 
I think these lunch bags are perfect if you have a daughter and want a "mommy and me" set; very adorable. I currently have no kids but find great use for both bags. I store my cold items in the big bag since there is more room to store soda, water and sandwiches and snacks such as fruits and yogurt and I store bags of chips, nuts and snack bars in the smaller one. This is a very convenient and high quality made set of lunch bags and I am very happy to own them! I will note that upon receiving them they had a strong plastic-y odor to them but this is minor because the smell went completely away after I aired them out for a couple days and have not had a problem with scent since. Also important to note is that the company is offering you a LIFETIME WARRANTY so you really have nothing to lose! Go buy yourself one today! 
Bag dimensions:
1x Pink Lunch Bag (Large) 6L x 6H x 10W (inches) 
1x Pink Lunch Bag (Small) 5L x 5H x 7.5W (inches) 
Here is what the company has to say about the product:

ENJOY A FANTASTIC 100% SATISFACTION GUARANTEE - I am so confident you're going to love your Lunch Bag I'm offering it with an excellent guarantee. If you have ANY problems with your Hango Lunch Bag THROUGHOUT THE PRODUCT'S LIFETIME simply let me know and I will refund every penny of your purchase. On top of that, doubtlessly, I will send you another brand new lunch bag TOTALLY FREE of charges.
ARE YOU LOOKING FOR QUALITY WITH A PRETTY DESIGN? Unlike many of the lunch bags available for purchase which are made from cheap material, your Hango Lunch Bag is fashioned from high density polyester 300D. In addition to the best quality, we are offering you a very beautiful product. Now you can use your lunch bag everywhere.
WHAT ABOUT HAVING 2 DIFFERENT SIZES FOR DIFFERENT MOMENTS? Your Hango Lunch Bag is the only one that offers you a set of two different sizes, giving you more comfort and practicality.

Enjoy it!
IS THE HANGO LUNCH BAG FOR YOU OR IS IT A GIFT TO SOMEONE YOU LOVE? The set comes inside of a beautiful gift bag, made of 100% cotton. Everybody loves it!

It was super fun and easy to build my Piczzle. It look me a few minutes to assemble it. I loved the look of it! My Piczzle looked of high quality. The picture quality was phenomenal! It had bright colors and the Piczzle was soft to touch. It was sturdy too! I was able to pick up the finished Piczzle in the air and it did not break; it was truly sturdy! My boyfriend asked me why  I chose the text I had on the piczzle. I told him that he is my missing piece and he completes me; you know, because it is a puzzle that you have to put together and once done its completed. He thought I meant that he is missing in my life and I can see how he got confused and after thinking about it for a little the text bothered me because I didn't want the meaning to misconstrued. I agained I explained to him that he is my missing piece and he completes me. He was okay with that response,,,,PHEW! Overall, I have had an amazing experience with this product and I intend on purchasing these for special occasions like Mother's Day and birthdays. This makes a great gift idea!

Digital Crayon Stylus for Tablets & Smartphones Review

I received this Digital Crayon Stylus for free in exchange for my honest unbiased opinion of the product and it can be purchased on Amazon by Click Here
These crayon stylus' are available in green, yellow, blue, black, orange, pink and red and are very kid friendly. The size of the crayon is big and it feels just like a crayon does. The crayon is firm up to the tip which is compressible foam. It works great on my iPhone 4S as well as my iPad. It is also compatible with the Kindle Fire, the Galaxy and many more devices. This is a very entertaining tool especially since it comes along with the free app called Painting Lulu which can be downloaded on Google Play, the App Store and the Amazon Store. 
The app has the option that allows you to create an account. Since I have no kids at the moment I opted out of this as you can still use the app without signing in. The app has five coloring books available, containing 110 coloring pages in total. The app recognizes when you have painted a page by displaying a little check mark on the right hand corner of the page which is seen when you first open the selected book. It is a very cool app for little kids. During the use of the app you have the option to color your page with crayons, sharpie markers or paint brushes and the best thing is that the tools actually paint on like the real tools. The crayon effect is my favorite. It is not like other apps that fill in the blocks or white areas for you. You actually have to color in every nook and cranny like a real book. 


As you can see, I have colored out side of the lines, but hey, I'm not perfect. I would have liked the option to be able to zoom in to be able to color inside the lines perfectly, but in real life you don't have that option so I guess that would have been cheating if it came with that option LOL. You can also save colored pictures to your phone and even share your child(ren)'s creations with friends through email. I absolutely love this crayon stylus because it allows children to hold something in their hands and develop hand eye coordination skills as opposed to dragging their fingers all the time. Let's face it, some two and three year olds know how to work tablets better than us and with this generation they always seem to be on some type of tablet, computer or handheld game. Might as well give them a stylus, like this one, to help them get comfortable with writing with pencils. I give this a two thumbs up! 

Here is what the company has to say about the product:


  • Fun "crayon-like" experience - enhance any drawing and coloring on touch screens
  • Perfect for helping kids with hand-eye coordination along with learning to color
  • Smooth touch & thick grip makes it easy to hold and feels natural to kids
  • Comes with the official "Painting Lulu" coloring App that inspire kids creativity
  • Soft rubber tip prevents any damage to touch screens devices

The Painting Lulu Digital Crayon provides a "real crayon-like" drawing experience on smartphones and tablets. compatible with iPad, iPhone, Kindle Fire, Galaxy and many more.. Painting Lulu Digital Crayon can be also used with the Painting Lulu coloring app for Android, Apple and Amazon devices.

Get our free app, simply scan the QR code located on the front of this package using any QR scanner app, which will immediately launch the Painting Lulu coloring app on your device that offers many great drawings, painting tools and much more. It's that easy! Use the digital crayon on the Painting Lulu app, pick a drawing, and color away!

Please Note: - CHOKING HAZARD - Small parts - Not for children under 3 years.

New Makeup by ONE DIRECTION Limited-Edition Beauty Collection Review

I received these New Makeup by ONE DIRECTION Limited-Edition Beauty Collection sets on behalf of BrandBacker and Markwins in exchange for my honest unbiased review of the product. 
There are five tins, one to represent each band member and each tin is Limited Edition and comes with cute doodles and thoughts from the One Direction band members.  I received three of the five tins. Each tin features a picture of one of the band members. Each tin is super cute but the sets have a drawback. You would think that since each tin features a different band member that each of the tins would also feature different make-up but this isn't so. This does not mean, however, that you can't collect all five tins. Each tin is unique in that it contains your favorite band member's picture on the cover of the tin along with their autograph below their picture. I am just relaying the information so that you are not surprised when you buy all five tins expecting different make-up. 

Here is what the tins look like inside:

About the Product:


Created for—and inspired by—fans of the world's biggest band, this limited-edition beauty collection is fun, bold and a tad mischievous, just like ONE DIRECTION.

5 Limited Edition Tins are available (1 for each band member). Tins include:

Eye Shadows:
Nobody Compares- Metallic silver
Tell Me A Lie- Metallic nude pink
Same Mistakes- Metallic mint
I Would- Smokey brown shimmer
Summer Love- Smokey purple haze
Everything About You- Smokey black shimmer

Eye Pencil:
I Want- True matte black

Lip Gloss:
Loved You First- Bubble gum pink
One Thing- Frosted pink ice
Irresistible- Shimmered pearl
Heart Attack- Creamy rose shine

Lip Gloss Top Coat:
Over Again- Silver glitter sparkle

Nail Varnish:
Stole My Heart- Magenta pink shimmer
Alive- Multi-coloured glitter flakes

These new sets are available in stores November 15th at:
Sears USA
Kmart
Target
Walmart Canada

I absolutely love these make-up sets! I love the way the make-up goes on and I love how pigmented the shadows are! These are perfect for a night out in town! 

The eye shadows are perfectly pigmented and they add shimmer to your eyes. I have swatched the shadows on my arm so you can have a look as to how they look on my medium skin tone. Same Mistakes- Metallic mint, is one of my favorites! 
The eyeliner is perfect! It glides on smooth and lasts all day. It is a perfect pencil to create a cat eye look or to line your water line (as in the picture below). Adding eyeliner under the eyes gives your eyes a more defined look which I love! 
All four lip glosses are pretty and have a nice shimmer to them. These colors go beautifully with the shadows and really compliment each other. The limited edition tin also includes a lip top coat called Over Again, in a pretty silver glitter color. Pictured I have on Irresistible and I love the way it looks. 


The polishes are adorable! I love the colors and the pigmentation on them. You only need one coat to achieve a great color! 

The lip brush I am not too crazy for but it does its job and the eyeshadow brush is perfect for teens and tweens. All in all I think these are amazing make-up sets and I would definitely recommend buying them! The make-up contained in each set is of high quality in my opinion and I think that they would make the perfect gift for that special lady in your life!

Old Factory Candle Gift Set Review + Giveaway

I received the Old Factory Candle Set in Winter Wonderland in exchange for my honest unbiased review of the product. 



These candles smell amazing!!!!!! When I first received my package for the candles I was a bit disappointed because they seemed so small to me. I guess I was expecting larger candles. Do not be fooled by their size like I was. These candles fill the room up with their beautiful scents in a matter of minutes.

These are perfect for the holidays and I think that they are all perfect to light up on Christmas or any day for that matter. They light up my mood in such a positive way and I could not be happier with these candles. I will definitely be purchasing candles in different scents. They definitely make a great basket gift and are perfect as a stocking stuffer for all your home enthusiasts. These are well worth purchasing!!
