I was chosen to receive this Ownpet silicone nonstick dog mat for free not too long ago. I was excited to receive it!

You can wash it warm water and soap or just wipe it down with a cloth rag. Here is the description from Amazon:

The other day I was chosen to receive and review a dress on Tomoson. I am starting a new job where I will have to dress in business attire so I was excited to try this new dress.

When I received it, I opened it up and thought that is was so pretty! I immediately went to try it on. Unfortunately, it didn't fit me. I ended up passing it to my mother who is small than me who will hopefully be able to wear it. I know that Asian sizing is smaller than US sizing but they only offered size when you ordered it (XL). I am usually a medium/large in US sizing so I typically go for an XXL in Asian sizing. The arms were super tight on this which inhibited my ability to get it over the rest of me. Perhaps it may have fit in the waist if the arms had fit. The Amazon listing says the measurements are: XL Bust(") 37.8 Waist(") 32.3 Shoulder(") 15.7 Sleeve(") 8.3 Length(") 42.5. 

I did not measure the dress myself so I cannot say whether or not those are accurate. 

The material is okay. Not over the top quality but definitely not the worst I've seen. The length seemed good for a lot of different heights as well. 

There are belt loops but no belt. 

The Amazon description is as follows: It's simple but elegant and classy.Suit for Wedding,Formal,Evening Party and Business Event.
If you are a little conservative type of person so dress like this always works for you.

Lightbox Review

I was recently invited and offered to try and review a new product. It is the LARGE Cinema Light Box with 90 Letters Symbols & Emojis and I seriously love it! 

Basically, it is a light box that has a semi-see through front and solid black sides and back. There are three little slots on the front with a solid white band between them. 

It comes with 90 letters and symbols, including the ampersand, exclamation points, hearts, shamrocks, and even stars! 

There are multiples of each letters which makes creating phrases very easy! It even includes a few blank slides so that you can add letters if you need more. 

The light box can be plugged in to either an outlet or a USB. I have a usb outlet type thing for an iPhone and that's where I plugged it in, which allowed me to plug it right into the wall. There is a long black cord. It is thin enough though so that it isn't super noticeable. 

Right now, I have the words "Trick or Treat" on mine with a word on each line! I tried writing Happy Halloween but Halloween was too long to do without overlapping the letters. 

You can find the lightbox here: https://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=me%3DA23QI5HEW0KQOD&field-keywords=cinema+light+box

For less than $20, it's a hell of a deal!

Cat Playing Ball

Moscow loves her new toy!

It is really well made and quite large as well. It has that straw/rope like texture around the entire ball which is really great. That rope texture is great for her nails because she can catch it quite well and it helps keep her nail length down as well (which means less cuts for momma!)

She really likes the feather on the end. She always chases the ball and bites at the feather.

It has some little ball things inside it too so it makes a noise when you roll it around which always catches her attention and keeps her entertained.

I definitely think that this would be great for any age cat. My cat, Moscow, is 2.5 years old and loves it! She is still in the playful age but I think older cats would really enjoy it too.

I also think that other animals besides cats may enjoy this toy. Perhaps a rabbit, a small dog, or a hamster could play with this jingly ball too!

The size of the toy makes it easy to pick up and throw and also easy to spot. Another great thing about the size is that it is big enough so that it cannot roll underneath any of my furniture- you would not believe how many toys end up behind and below the couch!

Portable Garment Steamer

I was recently given the opportunity to receive and review a portable garment steamer. I have recently graduated from college so I have been starting to enter the work force where I need to dress really nicely (especially for interviews).

I have owned an iron and ironing board before but literally have never used them. My sister in law asked for a steamer for Christmas last year so I got her one. I had never heard of one other than  a commercial grade one; I had no idea people had them for themselves. So I bought her one and have heard nothing but good things.

Basically, you wash and dry your clothes and then hang them on a hanger and use the steamer and viola! Quick and easy! Plug it in, let it heat up, and you're good to go

This particular steamer is pretty small and compact which means I can bring it with me when I travel and it's perfect for keeping my dress clothes wrinkle free after being in my suitcase.

The instruction booklet is really thorough and I had no trouble operating and using this steamer. You can find it here:  http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B073BVH1ZL

KISSPAT Layered Necklace Bar Charm Chain with Rose Quartz Pendant

I was recently given the opportunity to receive and review this beautiful triple strand necklace that features a bar, a rose quartz charm, and a dangle piece. I received it in the mail last week and have been wearing it to work a lot! The day after I got it I wore it to work with a flowy burgundy top. I thought the burgundy of my shirt really accented and brought out the rose quartz in the necklace. I got compliments from my coworkers and customers! The length of the necklace is really nice too. And it is also adjustable! I don't think I had it on the right length for my shirt in the photo though. the awkward cut of my shirt neck made the necklace lay weird. Only 2 of the strands ended up really showing most of the time. With a high neck, it would have been perfect. Or even if my shirt wasn't flowy. Definitely not a fault of the necklace, only of me and my outfit choice. The colors worked well together. I really like the gold tone chain as well. I have been leaning more towards gold tone lately but I was a big silver girl before so most of my jewelry is silver. It was nice to get a piece that works better with my current wardrobe. It was made pretty well. I have not had any issues yet and my skin hasn't turned. You can find the necklace here: amazon.com/dp/B075FL2F4K

RORAIMA Instant Portable Cat Tent

I will sadly start by saying that my cat, Moscow, has literally not been outside on the grass since I picked her up from her birth mommy's house TWO years ago. I am a bad mommy. We have always lived in a city so we didn't have access to an outside area where I felt safe letting her out. At our last apartment, we didn't even have a yard!

We recently moved to a small town where we have a shared backyard. No fence though, so I haven't let her out to explore. I don't trust her instincts enough and can almost guarantee she would run away (on accident) but not be able to find her way home. I would be heart broken.

I was recently set a RORAIMA cat tent to review though and I was so excited for myself and more importantly, for Moscow!

Set up was super easy and I did it without even reading the instructions. It comes in a carry case as well. We set it up and took it outside where i then brought her out and unzipped the door and let her in! She was unsure at first but was quickly rolling around and enjoying the feeling of grass through the netting!

I was a little nervous about it maybe not having a bottom or having thin netting. However, it does have a net bottom and pretty reinforced netting! She would have to try really hard to rip it. That makes me happy because less chance of her escaping!

I honestly think it could even be used for a child or small dog. Since it's so easy to transport, it would be great for sporting events, camping, or even beach trips!

I would definitely recommend it and Moscow and I are so happy with it!

This is Moscow enjoying and getting used to it inside!

Banza Pasta Party

I was recently chosen to host a Banza Pasta Party with Tryazon and Banza! Before I got the email about the party application, a friend was just telling me about this new pasta made from chickpeas...low and behold, I then got the email and knew I had to apply! Luckily, I made the cut and the box would be shipping to me soon!

I invited my closest friends, those of whom I knew would love the healthier option to pasta! Unfortunately, a few who had RSVP'ed ended up not being able to make it on Saturday due to a family emergency so we settled with the 6 of us! We had Patrick, Michele, Kyle, Katelynn, Brittany, and me!

I made a large pot of the rotini (using both boxes provided to me) and then a pot of spaghetti as well. I offered a bunch of different toppings including the complimentary Rao's red sauce, butternut squash sauce from a local store, a white sauce, and other toppings like olives, diced tomatoes, and grilled chicken.  We had many different combos!

I did accidentally overcook my first batch of the rotini noodles but they still tasted fine! I followed the directions but left them in the hot water for a little too long before draining and after turning the stove off- my bad! Nobody complained though!

Dinner was a joy- I don't get to see these people nearly enough and we all thoroughly enjoyed the good food, good company, and good conversations. I heard nothing but good things about the pasta and everyone loved that it was a healthier alternative to regular pasta. Everyone went home with a coupon (or two!) and vowed to invite me over when they prepared it!

Thank you, Tryazon and Banza for giving me this party opportunity!

AGPtek 12 PCS Fashion Decorative Home Sequins Diamond Shower Curtain Hooks

I recently moved into a new apartment and I have really been trying to make it feel more like me; you know, more like a home than an apartment. I was lucky enough to find an apartment with a really nice bathroom. I swear to God it's almost as big as my entire last apartment! I feel like I'm living in luxury with this massive bathroom! However, I struggled at first to decide how I wanted to decorate the room since it's so big. I decided to go with my typical girly-girl habits and stuck with that. A gorgeous new shower curtain from Target (where else?), some new bath mats, and a few pictures on the wall. But wait! I was missing something. But what was it?


Then I came across these shower curtain hooks ( http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B071HF2DM4). Those are it! That's the missing piece of my bathroom! Low and behold, they arrived, and they are perfect! Super girly, super cute, and they match so well! They went in the curtain and on the rod so easily- the entire process took less than 5 minutes! I love the sparkly look and the silver finish. So pretty and they really add that extra pop! I have attached a photo below for your viewing pleasure!

Cat on Blue Finger Pinch 3D Cute Soft Silicone Poke Squishy

I was recently allowed to purchase and review this blue cat silicone squishy cell phone case for the iPhone 6. I LOVE it! I have seen these types of cell phone cases before and really wanted one. I thought something like this might help me with my stress and my need to constantly be moving (or so it seems). I usually resort to cracking my fingers and knuckles (which I have heard is not good!). Instead of cracking my knuckles and fingers, I can just roll my fingers around on the little squishy cat! I can even do it while my phone is still in my pocket, so I can do it at work and in class and not be a distraction.

The cell phone case itself seems to be pretty well made. The soft silicone case makes it easy to put on my phone and take it off when I need to. The cat seems to be glued on pretty well, which is good because I was worried it might fall off when I slide my phone in and out of my pockets. The material of the cat seems like it might attract some hairs or dirt or fuzz but you should be able to just wipe it off with a wet paper towel or something.

RORAIMA SUV cargo liner cover for dogs universal fit (Size 55"x 82" Black)

I recently received this RORAIMA cargo liner cover for dogs for a discounted price. My brother and sister-in-law recently got a dog and have been traveling around with her quite a bit. To make things easier for them, I got them this! My brother has a car and this actually works just as well as it would in an SUV. We slipped the clips around the two headrests of the front seats and draped the rest on the backseat and up over the seats themselves.

The dog, Sandy, is a great rider so this is pretty easy to use with her. She just chills out in the back! My brother loves it because it keeps his seats clean and safe from her long toe nails and all of her long fur! The cargo cover has a non-slip type fabric that seems super waterproof. It is also really easy to wipe hair off of, which is obviously an added bonus.

The cargo cover comes with a carrying case as well. This is nice because you can easily store it when you are not using it. I have had a lot of trouble in the past getting things to fold back in their storage bag, but this cargo cover folds up nicely, quickly, and easily. It does not even take a lot of time to do it!

  We really like this seat cover and would recommend it to anyone with a pet!

Lovidia

Recently, I was chosen by TryAZon to sample a new weightloss pill from Lovidia. Small little pills that you take once to twice to day to help curb hunger- easy enough, right? I was in! I was eager to try! Participants were sent a package containing about a months supply of pills, an instruction packets, and small info packets to pass along to friends. I was most impressed by the packaging of the pills. Instead of big, bulky, noisy pill bottles, the Lovidia pills came in small, compact and dare I say, cute, pill holders. They weren't obvious and easy to stick in your back pocket or even your wallet (depending on the size). You could pack just enough for the day, or your entire supply. When I first began to take the pills, I definitely noticed a change in my hunger levels. I felt way less hungry than normal- woohoo! I lost a few pounds in the first two weeks but then as time went on, I kept going back to my old habits. I'm a habitual boredom eater; I just eat when I'm bored! I've also recently been between jobs (just started up 2 new ones!) so I had a lot of down time, which I filled with snacking. I definitely think that if you're a stick-to-your-plans kinda person, this could definitely work in your favor. I just need to be better about it and I know it could work for me. Now that I've started my new two jobs, I've slipped one of my little pill pockets into my work bag- hopefully I can be more diligent! I highly recommend checking out the website and reading up on the products. They can definitely be effective if you're serious about it! Find it here: https://www.lovidia.com/products

I absolutely love this Hummingbird solar light! It is kind of like a wind chime and also a solar light! My grandmother has a lot of solar things in her front garden so I gave this to her for her birthday this week! Needless to say, she was thrilled! It is so cute that I would have happily kept it for myself! All you do is turn the switch to "on" and then let it charge in the sun and viola- you're all set! Once it gets dark, it lights up on its own! Super cute and looks really fun when the wind spins it!

It is made of pretty high quality material, so I'm not worried about keeping it outside. I will bring it in for the winter though. It comes with instructions for changing the battery too. I haven't had it long so I am not sure how long the battery should last, but I don't think it will die too quickly as it's really only used to help charge it. Other than that, it just runs on solar.

Bumble Road Luxury Bath Bombs Review

I recently was able to purchase this set of four bath bombs for a discounted price in exchange for a blog post showing my feelings! Well, I have been on a bath bomb kick lately and these have definitely met my expectations! They fizz very well and they're huge! They also smell delicious and are truly relaxing. My favorite is the grapefruit, which I will show a video of below. You can find them here: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B072C7ZP3W

Water Wipes Review

As a mom of four, I have definitely gone through my fair share of wipes. With our last little one (born in March), we were interested in trying new wipes. Our kiddos have a history of dry/sensitive skin and most wipes on the market seemed to irritate them. I was lucky enough to have the opportunity to try these wipes for free courtesy of Water Wipes and Influenster and am so glad I did! No skin irritation on our little lady! Water wipes are different than other wipes on the shelves because they only have 2 ingredients and are hypoallergenic! And priced very well!

Ritter Sport Chocolate Party with Tryazon

My Ritter Sport Chocolate Party was yesterday! I had invited about 14 people but for some sudden conflicts, only about 6 were able to make it. My 3 work friends, David, Rose, and Maryse, and two of my best friends, Ciarra and Christine. We all had a blast!

First, everyone got settled and I told them all about Ritter Sport and the company and all their kinds of chocolate. I had laid out a few smaller squares for everyone at their spot beforehand. I didn't let them try them until after the taste test though! Didn't want to spoil the fun.

After everyone listed to the cool info packet, I offered everyone beverages and while they were doing that, I set up the chocolate taste game. I laid everything out according to the instructions and put a sheet at everyones seat.

When they were done getting their drinks, they all came back and sat down. Ciarra actually wanted to sit on the floor! She's an interesting one for sure.

The hardest flavor for everyone to guess was actually the Alpine Chocolate! I think everyone was expecting it to have a different flavor (like an added flavor) so they were trying hard to figure out what it was! Jokes on the, it was just plain milk chocolate!

After the tasting game, we all sat down on my comfy rug and made our chocolate sculptures! Ciarra made a beautiful heart, Christine and I made a sunflower, Maryse, David, and Rose worked hard on the house, and we all made the "Ritter" together. The packet had shown some examples, which is why my work friends decided to try the house. I don't think we had enough of the little squares to make a house as big as the example, but I still think they did a good job. They even added a little pathway in front of the house! Nice job, guys!

We all had a blast working together and sampling the awesome chocolate. Ciarra ended up winning the tasting game, so she got to choose a big square of chocolate. She chose the coconut because she loves all things coconut! 

Everyone had a really good time and thought the chocolate was delicious. We all definitely had our favorites by the end too! 

Maryse and Rose fell in love with the extra dark chocolate. I think that's a taste you acquire with age- I can't handle the bitterness yet!

David loved the butter biscuit one. At first he was skeptical because it sounded odd, but he grabbed quite a few to take home with him! And he chose the sleeve that had 2 butter biscuits instead of one :p

Ciarra loved the chocolate coconut one, but also really enjoyed the marzipan. She loves almonds so it had a good taste for her!

Christine decided the strawberry was her favorite- she had quite the sweet tooth and is a really big fruit lover.

My favorite is definitely the corn flakes one. Like David, I was a bit skeptical about this flavor! Who puts a cereal food in chocolate?! But boy oh boy, this flavor combo was right on. So delicious!

I am very thankful for the opportunity to host this party with my friends thanks to Tryazon and Ritter Sport. I made sure to disperse the coupons because I think my friends will start craving it again as soon as they run out of the goodies they brought home with them!
