Rubbery Baby Teething Pacifier Clips

These two rubbery baby teething clips are awesome! My niece is currently teething and she is putting everything...and I mean EVERYTHING into her mouth. I don't have to worry about her putting yucky chemical-heavy things in her mouth when these are clipped to her! They are dual purpose too- they keep her pacific handy and she can chew on it! The colors are super fun and fairly gender neutral. The set I got included the rainbow clip and the teal clip. They are packaged separately so you could even give the other one as a gift! They are easy to clip on and off (but not too easy that baby can do it) and are very well made. I did receive these for a discounted price in exchange for my honest review, though all thoughts and opinions are my own.

Double Hammock by Rosie & Bailey- Portable and Lightweight Parachute Hammocks for Camping or Backpacking

I have always wanted a portable hammock and this one is perfect! This hammock is completely portable. It wraps up really tightly in its own little bag that can be attached to your back pack, or even stuffed right in your bag! It is super tiny for being an entire, two person hammock! I ordered the red and black version and it is super nice. I also ordered the tree straps from the same company, Rosie and Bailey, so it was also easy to put up. I would like to use this primarily for when I go hiking and camping, but I put it up at my house just so I could get the hang of it and try it out before I bring it with me. I put it up between two pines trees at my house. Our oaks are too far apart for the straps to reach, so I went with pines and it was fine. I fit in it perfectly and there is definitely room for two people! There is even a little pocket on the side for a book or your phone. This would be great for hanging up at a cabin or lake house, or packing up and taking with you on a hike or camping trip. You could even sleep over night in this! Perfect for a summer night under the stars. I did receive this double hammock for a discounted price in exchange for my honest review, though all thoughts and opinions are my own.

Appcome Women's Cut Out Self-tie Backless Spaghetti Straps Halterneck Crop Tops in Black

First things first, this high neck self-tie crop top is adorable. However, it does not fit me. I ordered an Asian XL, so a US Large, and it was just a little bit too tight. I could definitely take out the seam though and let it get a little looser. Had it only been the ties and not a zipper, it would have fit. I think my boobs may be too big. I wear a 36D just for reference. I love that you can tie this which ever way you prefer, You can loop it around your body multiple times, depending on how you decide and how wide you are. I have found that high neck tops look better on me as well, so I was thrilled that this top had that feature. This top would work great with high waisted jeans, a high skirt, some loose shorts (like shown in the image) or even those trendy harem pants. Honestly, you could make this top work with anything. I also got the black because I find that black matches virtually anything in my closet. The crop top is also velvet, which is cool and gives it a more unique feeling. I did receive this crop top for a discounted price in exchange for my honest review, though all thoughts and opinions are my own.

Baltic Amber Teething Necklace

I have been reading about the benefits of these types of necklaces for ages now, and finally decided to go ahead and purchase one. From what I have heard, these types of necklaces are great for teething babies. It is said,in theory, when baby wears it, his or hers body heat triggers the release of a minute amount of oil that contains succinic acid, a naturally-occurring substance in the body. When the oil is absorbed, advocates say, it has an analgesic effect on swollen, sore gums. Ergo, these necklaces help alleviate the pain that comes along with teething. Besides that, it is cute! It can also easily be used for both baby girls and baby boys. I like this particular one because it also includes a teething necklace for mom! Safe for baby to suck and chew on, and stylish as well. The baltic amber necklace is also stretchy so that it can fit a variety of size necks and can work for most size babies and toddlers. I did receive this baltic amber teething necklace for babies for a discounted price in exchange for my honest review, though all thoughts and opinions are my own.

Twirly Roundlettes

Mhmmm yummy! These green twirly roundlettes were the perfect addition to the baby shower I hosted this past weekend! The theme of the shower was a tribal theme, with a focus on the blue and green colors. I had been looking all over Pinterest for fun ideas and came across the idea of a candy buffet! Who does not love candy or buffets?! I knew it would be so much fun and I knew I would at least enjoy it if no one else did :p Anyways, I found a bunch of candy in both green and blue and displayed them in cute little jars and bowls on a center table. We had candy canes, these green twirly roundlettes, licorice, m&ms, chocolate almonds..SO many varieties and everyone seemed to love it! I had never had a lime flavored candy like this so I was a little worried it would not taste good, but they were super yummy! Kind of like sucking on a solid sprite...if that makes sense lol. Anyways, super yummy and the one pound bag was the perfect amount for the party. Each person could have 3 pieces at least! I did receive these for a discounted price in exchange for my honest review, though all thoughts and opinions are my own.

Cozy Blanket Pouch

This blanket pouch by Revelae is a super interesting concept! I have never seen anything like this before, but the idea behind it is genius! The cozy blanket pouch is just what it says it is..a cozy blanket pouch! Just slip your baby in to the pouch and viola- simple and quick! Since the elastic at the top is nice and a little tight (not uncomfortably or dangerously tight), the baby is unable to kick the pouch off and they are sure to stay nice and warm! As many doctors and health officials have warned that having blankets in cribs and on babies can be dangerous, many parents have tried and tried to think of a good way to keep their baby warm without risking harm. This is the answer to all of those concerns! Safe, warm, and comfortable! The cozy blanket pouch is made of lovely minky material that is super soft and kind of silky smooth. I love things that are made with this material! The pouch is a good size as well, so it can grow with your baby up until a certain point. I did receive this for a discounted price in exchange for my honest review, though all thoughts and opinions are my own.

Prolific Work Out Leggings

These yoga pants are so cute! The ombre color effect is super popular right now, so with these work out leggings, you are sure to fit in and get compliments! I actually ordered these for a friend because I do not really work out that much, but she is a college athlete and works out daily and is in great shape. She is always looking for work out gear and clothing when we are out shopping, so I knew she would love these and they would definitely get used. The material is very stretchy, and even though she is much smaller than me (I ordered a medium), I could still get them on! They just did not look as good on me as they did on her ;) The waist band is nice and thick and can be worn full on or folded in had. The length is nice and the pants end up falling right about mid calf. Perfect for running, hiking, or anything else you feel like doing! I did receive these for a discounted price in exchange for my honest review, though all thoughts and opinions are my own

Pacifier Clips by On the Go Baby

This set of 3 unisex pacifier clips by On The Go Baby is wonderful! I love purchasing gender neutral items to keep on hand in case of a last minute baby shower gift is needed. Gender neutral makes perfect options to have on hand since they work for either gender. This set of pacifier clips is no exception. The colors and patterns are very gender neutral and look adorable on either a little boy or little girl. They are the typical length of pacifier clips and feature metal clips. I typically prefer plastic clasps, but metal is fine. Easy to open and close the clasps, and I was able to do so with only one hand. My favorite clip from the set of three is the orange and teal because the teal chevron is so cute and I love that color! It is great that they are reversible- it is like getting six clips for the price of three!! I have no complaints and truly think these are great. I did receive this set of three for a discounted price in exchange for my honest review, though all thoughts and opinions are my own.

Pacifier Clip

This two in one pacifier clip by J Essentials LLC is SO cute and very useful!! I absolutely love the look and functionality of the clips that are like this. Not only can they be used for a pacifier clip or a teether clip, but they can also be used simply as a teether! The silicone is safe for baby to chew and slobber on and offers relief for painful teething. Besides that, this pacifier clip is so cute! It is a great length and the clip is plastic so it does not have the super sharp teeth that metal clips have. The clip is also very easy to use and can sometimes be done with only one hand (I was able to do it one handed about 3/4 of the time). It is soooo cute and the colors are adorable. The pink flower is beautiful!! This would make a great baby shower present in my opinion, or just something to buy for yourself! Either way, it is definitely a good purchase. I have no complaints. I did receive this pacifier clip for a discounted price in exchange for my honest review, though all thoughts and opinions are my own.

10 Pack 1GB USB Flash Drives - Purple

As a senior in college, I rely on USBs. They are a life saver! These are perfect. The pack of ten makes things so much easier. I reserved one of these 1 GB USB flash drives for each of classes, which left a few over for big projects. I think the 1GB is perfect and I can always grab another one if I run out of room (since there are ten! woo hoo!). The USB drives are easy to use (simple, just like all other USB flash drives). I also like that it is easy to write on the surface of the flash drives, so I can easily tell which one belongs to which class. I can also write my email address on them so people know who they belong to if I lose one. The flash drives even have a little open loop at the end of each one so you can string these onto a keychain or lanyard (or what ever you want to attach it to), which is helpful so it is not as easy to misplace them. Overall, I am super pleased. I did receive these for a discounted price in exchange for my honest review, though all thoughts and opinions are my own.

Polished Natural Quartz Crystal Spike Pendant

This is a beautiful piece of jewelry! It is elegant without being too posh, and edgy without being too out there. It is the perfect balance between style types. I chose the light pink color and I love it! It is a great size pendant and is not too small but not too large where it seems over bearing. The chain is a great length as well. The pendant can slide off of the chain as well in case you would like to replace the chain with something shorter or longer or of a different style. Easy clasp in the back too. The edges are smooth and perfect and the end is pointy but not too sharp. Kind of a blunt, sharp edge if that makes sense lol. The necklace comes packaged in a nice brown draw string bag, so it is perfect for storing the necklace in that or even giving the necklace as a gift. I did receive this for a discounted price in exchange for my honest review, though all thoughts and opinions are my own

Yummi Pouch Brights Reusable Food Pouches

These are wonderful! My sister has said since she found out that she was pregnant that she wanted to make her own baby food. Now that my niece is starting to be able to eat soft foods, my sister has been looking for ways to store what she makes. These make her life so much easier. She can make whatever recipe she feels like, then simply pour the food into the top of the reusable food pouch and slide it shut. Then all her daughter needs to do is suck it out of the little opening on the side (that screws shut when she is finished). The crazy colors and patterns are super fun for children of all ages, and this can honestly work for more than just baby food! Even use it for applesauce or smoothies for older children. Whatever you choose to do, the possibilities are endless. The pouches are super easy to wash and dry, and you do not have to worry about them leaking since they are made with good quality, durable material. I did receive these for a discounted price in exchange for my honest review, though all thoughts and opinions are my own.

ShikShook Cocktail Shaker

I just got my own apartment and promptly purchased a bar cart- what college student doesn't want their own bar cart? But I quickly realized that I did not have all of the necessary tools for a bar cart. I knew I needed a cocktail shaker so I could be prepared when all of my friends came over. I looked all over and finally came across this one and it seemed cool so I decided to give it a try. It was all I wanted it to be and more. Not only is it super cute to look at it, but it works wonders. It comes with everything you need! And even a little book of cocktail recipes. The whole thing comes packaged nicely in a black velvet bag as well, so I felt super classy with it. It worked really well the first time I used it and I cannot wait to use it again. I did receive this for a discounted price in exchange for my honest review, though all thoughts and opinions are my own.

Snug Baby Monitor for Smartphones (Apple/Android)

This baby monitor is great. It is very easy to use, easy to set up, and easy to understand all aspects of it. Even for people who are not necessarily the best at techy things. Works really great and you can see baby's face even in the pitch black of the night with no issues. Helps put restless parental minds at ease! I would recommend this to anyone.

These are the sweetest little pacifier clips! I got the pink set and I love them. Every pacifier clip is a different patten, and each one cuter than the next! I purchased these with my sister and my niece in mind so I went with the pink since my sister likes her daughter to be very girly. What is really great about these pacifier clips, as compared to others, is the plastic clasp. Also, the clasp is super child-proof, so no pinched fingers! Which is why it being plastic is also great. No sharp metal teeth on the clip! Though they are child proof, they are easy to use for adults. I even tried it with one hand and it was not hard. The loops at the opposite end work great because they allow you to use these pacifier clips with any version pacifiers! Simply loop them through the end of the pacifier and viola! Easy as pie. They are durable and made with nice material. They are easy to clean with a simple wipe down too! I did receive these for a discounted price in exchange for my honest review, though all thoughts and opinions are my own.

Kumfy Soft Premium Bamboo Nursing Bra Pads

The Kumfy Soft Premium Bamboo Nursing Bra Pads are perfect! I ordered them as a baby shower gift for one of my best friends as she has breast fed her last two children and plans to also breast feed the baby she is pregnant with. I really like that that this gift set includes four different pairs in four different colors. Even though you wear these inside bras, the different colors are still fun and helps you remember which pairs are clean ;) The nursing bra pads are made very nicely and are padded for extra comfort. The inside (the side that touches your breasts) are super, super soft and kind of feel like a mixture of minky and velvet. The other side (the one that touches the inside of your bra) is also soft, but not as minky. They are thick so they can absorb any leakages nicely. They are easy to put in and out and pull out in a jiffy when you need to. I would recommend these to anyone! I did receive these for a discounted price in exchange for my honest review, though all thoughts and opinions are my own

SafeBest Bike Lock

This is an excellent bike lock. After my brother in laws very expensive road bike was stolen out of their garage last month, I started looking for a bike lock for him. This way he can lock it up (even though it is stored in a locked garage) so there is a double lock on it (hopefully preventing someone from taking it again!). The bike lock is very, very sturdy and heavy so it would take something seriously powerful to break through this. This bike lock also comes with a bike attachment, so you can easily bring it anywhere you go. The bike lock is super long also, so you can even loop it through both tires and whatever you're locking it to without a problem. The company even sends you instructions via email after you purchase it so you can read up before it arrives. It is easy to use and to get a hang of. I had no problem and neither did my brother in law. I ordered black since I was not sure which color he would like best, and it looks really nice. Overall, I am very pleased and so is my brother in law! I just hope this will help keep his bike safe!

Premium 3 way cat tunnel

Not the best cat tunnel I have seen, but it is not terrible. Like other reviews have mentioned, the center has no support, so it doesn't stay upright or open. My cat has to work her way out of it, and typically just chooses to use one of the tunnel exits and not the center. The fabric is thin, but it is more of a durable material and it hasn't ripped yet, even with my cat throwing herself in and out of it. It is quite large, and in a studio apartment, it takes up a lot of room. I have to fold it up and put it away whenever I want to do anything. I also have to put it away every night because it is so noisy! During the day time it's great because my cat loves the noise it makes when she runs through it, but I do not necessarily like being woken up at 3 am from loud crinkly noises lol. I do not think this would be an issue in a home that is bigger than mine. Overall, I am satisfied, though it could be better. My cat doesn't seem to care either way though! I did receive this for a discounted price in exchange for my honest review, though all thoughts and opinions are my own.
