Gurin Ceramic Flat Iron Hair Straightener

I have very thin, wavy, and wispy hair. Even when I straighten it, it only lasts for a few hours and then starts curling again, regardless of humidity/rain/etc.

 I hate turning the heat up super high because I hate knowingly burning my hair. Since using this straightener, my hair has been staying straight all day. It doesn't even need to be turned up super high! It doesn't pinch my hair when I use it, and I can never smell that "burning hair" smell that often occurs :p It's a nice size and comes packaged nicely in a pull-out box. It also includes a cute little carrying pouch! Another great thing is that the cord is really long! I hate having to stand a foot away from my plug because my cord doesn't go any further- this one lets me move further away and actually have room to do my hair! 

I would recommend this to anyone! (I received this for a discounted price in exchange for my honest review). You can find it here: http://www.amazon.com/Gurin-Ceramic-Tourmaline-Straightener-Carrying/dp/B00ANW4LLY?keywords=hair+straightener 

Ore-Ida Totchos

I recently received a coupon from Influenster to try Ore-Ida's new Tater Tots. Oh. MY. Goodness. SO yummy and SO cute (they're smaller than normal I think :p) Anyways, I decided to get creative and try a new recipe using them. So here it is:

Cheesy Bacon Ranch Totchos

• 1 bag frozen Ore-Ida tater tots
• 1 cup sour cream
• ½ cup ranch dressing
• ¼ cup milk
• 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese or more if desired. I desired a little more!
• 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
• ½ cup real bacon bits
• ¼ cup green onions
• Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions:

1. Cook the tater tots on a cookie sheet per the package instructions.
2. Mix the sour cream, ranch dressing and milk until well blended.
3. Drizzle the sour cream ranch mixture over cooked tater tots.
4. Sprinkle the cheese, bacon bits and green onions all over the top of the tater tots.
5. Place the cookie sheet back into the oven until the cheese melts and serve immediately.

Cetaphil Moisturizing Cream

Living in the bitter cold in upstate, New York, winters can be brutal. I have sensitive skin regardless of the season and weather, but it's 10x worse in the winter. I received a 1oz contained of Cetaphil Moisturizing Cream from Influenster and I love it. I always worry about moisturizing my face because I don't want to clog my pores, but this goes on light and smoothly and I have not noticed an increase in acne since using it. My face looks and feels so much smoother and healthier and moisturized! I love it!

Baby Bandana Drool Bibs with Snaps 4 Pack (Feather and Sky)

These are so stinkin' cute. My nephew looks absolutely handsome as can be in these bibs. 

Not only are they seriously cute, but they're also super functional! If you have a baby that spits up a lot, no need to keep an unsightly bib on them all day- just snap one of these around their neck and let them go! They're lined with a nice, soft material that is easy on the neck of the baby and comfortable for them to wear as well. 

They feature 2 different snaps, so they can grow with your baby! The designs are kinda boyish, but could definitely work for either gender depending on your preference. The feathers are my favorite! They're so trendy right now. 

The pack of 4 is packaged together nicely, and they would make an excellent shower gift. (I received these for a discounted price in exchange for my honest review)

Home Garment Rack

This garment rack is by far the easiest thing I have ever assembled. Love that no tools are needed, one person can do it alone, very light weight but Sturdy. Folds flat for easy storage and is big enough when assembled to hold many items.  Definitely worth buying. 

Only thing that could be improved is the wheel locks don't keep it completely still. Might be better to have all 4 wheels have them.  Oh...also need to be careful when assembling. The side posts don't stay up on their own without the top bar. One came down and clocked me a in the head! Ouch! (I received this for a discounted price in exchange for my honest review). 

Since we have ample closet space in our home, we decided to put this in our garage. We're always looking for a place to hang up wet snowsuits (we live in the snowy north east!) and big Carharts. Instead of bringing them inside and getting dirt and snow and yucky floors, this garment rack allows us to keep everything in the garage. It's strong enough to hold everyone in the families coat, plus some!

Ponderosa Outdoors LED Running Armband Pack of 2- Blue

These LED armbands are great for any runner!! They have varying blinking speeds and patterns (as well as just a straight, steady light). They turn on and off very easily.

 They can fit many different size arms and wrists, which makes them perfect for people of all builds. The blue is such a nice and pretty color as well. It's really great that the light is super bright and easy to see in the dark. They stay on really well, even during a heavy sprint. 

They would be nice even just for walkers, or you could probably even attach one to your dogs collar if you're walking them at night/dusk. It always make me nervous walking in the dark in my town because it's almost all back roads with no street lights, so I worry that drivers won't see me (especially since many people speed down back roads). These armbands make me feel much safer!! (I received these for a discounted price in exchange for my honest review).

This candle seriously smells so delicious. It smells JUST like those little cinnamon candies! Smells so yummy I almost want to eat it :p 

Anyways, I love this candle. Not only does it burn for 75 HOURS (!!!!!!!Yes! 75 Hours!!!), but it's also made 100% of soy! No yucky chemicals- only pure, natural soy. 

I also really love that the jar wrapping is so festive.I'm always looking for new ways to decorate for the various holidays, and it's so hard to find "festive" candles! I was very excited when I found this one. (I received this for a discounted price in exchange for my honest review)

Hey Mama Disposable Nursing Pads

Any nursing mom will tell you- she leaks. It's inevitable, and it sucks. Luckily, geniuses have discovered a new way to help prevent the awful leak-through-your-shirt moments! Viola- disposable nursing pads. Much like sanitary pads, these pads have a nice soft side (to go on your skin), and a sticky side that sticks nicely to the inside of your bra. Change them whenever you leak, and you're good to go. No more ruining shirts or scrambling to find a sweatshirt to buy for a cheap price when you happen to start leaking in public!! These are small and discreet enough to slip in your diaper bag, purse, or even your pocket. They're wrapped individually, which is also great for on-the-go. I received these in exchange for my honest review, and I'm so glad! No more sticking tissues in my shirt hehe. Find them here:http://www.amazon.com/dp/B01A7V6I20#customerReviews

K-CARAFE 2.0 Reusable Filter

Since getting my Keurig 2.0, I've been spending boatloads of money on K-Cups. 

Waking up early has never been a strong suit of mine, so coffee is a must have. I used to limit myself to 1 cup a day since k-cups are so pricey, but I just can't function on that little caffeine. Luckily, I found these. You can find them here:  http://www.amazon.com/K-CARAFE-2-0-Freedom-Brew-K300-K350-K400-K500-K550-K560/dp/B014VL8PMS/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1453289767&sr=8-1&keywords=2.0+carafe+freedom+brew

The Keurig 2.0 accepts them (awesome!), so I can use normal coffee from a can and not worry about how much money each cup is costing me :p. I love that this also comes with one for the carafe- I didn't even know they made those! These are great. Definitely a good purchase.

US Art Supply® 82 Piece Deluxe Art Creativity Set in Wooden Case - Deluxe Art Set -Great Gift for Drawing and Painting (Office Product)

I've just recently gotten more serious about drawing and painting, so I decided it was time to get a nice, complete art set. This one is perfect. You can find it here: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00E3EXC7M?ref_=cm_rdp_product

 It has 82 pieces, including 24 beautifully crafted colored pencils (which come pre-sharpened), a sharpener, 2 very nice wooden paintbrushes, 24 thick water colors (so many nice colors to choose from), 3 mixing trays, 24 oil pastels in varying colors and shades, a large eraser, a sanding block, and the most beautifully crafted wooden carrying case. Most art kits come in flimsy plastic boxes, but I was surprised at the quality of this box. The brass finishes are so pretty and they look so professional- I love them! 

Another great aspect is that since the box comes unfinished, you can create your own art on it. I can't wait to design my own case with the included art pieces. All of the supplies are high quality and perfect for any level artist. (I received this kit for a discounted price in exchange for my honest review)

 Even better, they come with two bonus items! The drink holder is such an innovative little tool and I love it! One end straps to the stroller/car seat/etc, and the other end is adjustable and wraps right around their drink (a sippy cup,a bottle, anything!). No more worrying about where they could have possibly dropped their sippy cup- it's always at arms reach! The pacifier clip is adorable and so easy to use, even with one hand! It loops around any standard pacifier and can clip to any fabric. I love it! (I received these for a discounted price in exchange for my honest review)
