42 Bees Slant Tipped Tweezers

   These tweezers also have a wide toothed comb, for shaping your brows. The comb can also be used to comb your eyebrow hairs up or down for easy plucking. The comb makes it easier to see where you left off plucking. This is great especially if you are like me and always get interrupted part of the way through.


  The tips of the tweezers are slanted at an angle, making it easy to get close to the skin without pinching it. The slant also makes it easier to remove hairs and splinters. The tweezers are made of stainless steel. Stainless steel tweezers keep their tension better. The tweezers are sharpened to a .4 mm point. This point makes it easier to pluck very short, or ingrown hairs as wel as small splinters. They are hand filed so they never need sharpening. The tweezers come in a PVC tube,  for easy storage. It also makes it easier to find tweezers in the drawer or bottom of your purse.

GIVEAWAY: The company is allowing one lucky follower to win, a pair of tweezers.
Comment below with your favorite summertime activity.
WINNER WILL BE DRAWN JUNE 1ST

  The tweezers are easy to use, even on small, thin hairs. They worked great at removing a very thin small metal spinter from my Hubby's finger. It is easy to get the short hairs that grow back after you get your eyebrows waxed. They remove ingrown hairs easily. The previous tweezers, that I was,using were an expensive pair from the salon. It didn't take long for them to lose their tension making it nearly impossible to pluck small thin hairs. I received this product for purpose of inspection and unbiased review.

Silicon ice pops by Decodyne

This set comes with 6 bright colors, red , yellow, green, blue, purple, and orange. They all have matching lids. They are BPA free, reusable and dishwasher safe. They can be used for pudding pops, frozen yogurt, frozen juices and more.

I chose to use the recipe that my Mom made when I was a kid. Recipe is:
1 pkg. Unsweetened kool-aid
1 13 oz pkg Jello, in the same flavors
1 c sugar
2 c boiling water,
2 C cold water
dissolve the jello and sugar in boiling water
dissolve Kool aid in cold water
pour Kool aid and jello mix together, stir well
pour into pop molds, and freeze

For easy clean up, I made sure that the kids threw the molds, in the hot soapy water in the sink, when they were through with them. I let them soak, for a bit, then wash and rinse. They were easy for the kids to squeeze up. For easy filling you can either use a funnel, or pour out of a pitcher. I received this product for purpose of inspection and unbiased review. All opinions and pictures are mine.

Kupko Pizza Cutter

This pizza cutter can be used for more than just pizza. It can be used to cut pastries, tortillas, quesadillas, pastas, such as homemade ravioli, and more. The cutter is made of food grade stainless steel. The cutting wheel is a nice size, being 4 inches. I like that the cutter is durable and very sturdy. Some pizza cutters tend to wobble as you try to cut your pizza. Which leaves you with jagged edges on your pizza. Other cutters also tend to not be as sharp, leaving some of your toppings either on the cutter or on the other slice of pizza. This is sharp enough to cut your veggies or meat in half. The cutter slides easily and effortlessly across anything you try to cut.



I have personally tried the Kupko pizza cutter on a store bought frozen pizza, a thick crust homemade pizza, loaded with toppings. It also worked great cutting my pasta dough into a perfect rectangle, for ravioli. Once the ravioli were filled and the top dough was placed on top and pressed, we used the cutter to cut the individual ravioli squares. This cutter worked so well making ravioli, that my kids decided that we should make more batches to put in the freezer.
The Kupko pizza cutter is easy to clean with soap and water. It can also be placed in the dishwasher. Being stainless steel, it is BPA free, so it is safe for your food. There are no worries of it rusting. No alloys to alter the taste of your food. The handle has a thumb grip, so it is easy to keep a hold of the handle. Since the blade is sharp, you don't have to apply much pressure to make it slide effortlessly across the product that you are cutting. Making this a great option for those with arthritis, carpal tunnel, etc. I received this product for purpose of inspection and unbiased review. All opinions are solely mine.

Tencel sheets by Yorkshire - Mayfair


These sheets are soft and silky. They are fade resistant, stain resistant and wrinkle free. They are hypoallergenic,  which is great for those with allergies.  These sheets are available in queen or king. They have deep pockets to fit even double pillow top mattresses.

  Tencel is similar to rayon in the feel. It is soft, lightweight and breathable. 99% of the chemicals that are used in the spinning of tencel, are recovered and continuously reused. So there is minimal impact on the environment. The tree farms have been established on land unsuitable for food crops or grazing. Tencel compliments those of wool, cotton, silk, linen , polyester and nylon.  I received this product for purpose of inspection and unbiased review. All opinions and pictures are mine.

  I was curious about what tencel is, with a little research on and eco website this is what I found
Tencel is a natural, man made fibre which is also referred to as Lyocell.
Made with wood pulp from sustainable tree farms, tencel textiles are created though the use of nanotechnology in an award-winning closed-loop process that recovers or decomposes all solvents and emissions.
Though it’s certified by the international Forest Stewardship Council and 100% biodegradable, perhaps the greatest benefits are the variety and exceptional comfort you can experience with tencel clothing.

Advantages of Tencel Fabric

  • Eco PrintMade from the natural cellulose found in wood pulp. The fiber is economical in its use of energy and natural resources, and is fully biodegradable.
  • Colour RichTencel was created with color in mind, because of the fibers’ high absorbency. The fabrics can be dyed to high quality standards.
  • Moisture AbsorbentThis eco fabric has natural breathability and 50% greater moisture absorption than cotton.
  • Anti-bacterialDue to its moisture management, Tencel is also anti-bacterial.
  • Feel of FabricSimilar to rayon in feel. Soft, breathable, lightweight and comfortable. Tencel has an extremely smooth, soft surface that drapes beautifully to flatter every figure.
  • Great for sensitive skinTencel’s smooth fibre surface feels soft and supple against the skin and its incredible wicking abilities keep the skin dry, making Tencel a great fabric for sensitive skin.
  • VersatileThis eco fabric has controllable fibrillation (the very fine hairs found on the outer fibres), which can be manipulated into everything form suede-like softness to a silky smooth finish.
  • DurableThis super fibre can hold up to a beating when both we and dry, and is most conveniently resistant to wrinkles.

Caring for your Tencel Fabric

  • Delicate fabrics may be hand-washed in cold water with a gentle detergent. Drip dry. Tencel will shrink about 3% with the first washing, and will resist shrinking from then on.
  • Machine washing, using the gentle cycle, is appropriate for many garments (read the garment care label), and drip drying is preferable to machine drying. If line dried, you can briefly toss in the dryer with a damp towel to soften the fabric.
  • If you must touch up the garment with an iron, use a warm iron only. Too much direct heat may scorch the fabric.
  • Dry-clean Only: Some garments have a dry-clean only label. This is often due to other fabrics used as finishing details or structuring elements, such as linings, in the garment. The lining, for example, may shrink more than the Tencel fiber which could cause puckering if washed in water. The best course is to understand the washing requirements before purchasing the garment.
TENCEL® fabric is called Lyocell.
Lenzing Fibers state that the required blend composition must be a minimum of 30% in order to be able to use the brand name.
TENCEL® Lyocell is obtained from traceable and sustainable wood pulp (Eucalyptus treesare grown on farms certified by the Forest Stewardship Council – FSC) being dissolved in a non toxic organic recovered and reused solvent, thus using an extrusion method through tiny holes comes Lyocell fibres.
This method is referred to as a closed loop process, meaning in the case of TENCEL® Lyocell, more than 99% of the solvent is recovered and reused, all of this leading to less land and water usage.
Within the solvent spinning process that produces Tencel®, a closed loop circuit recovers, purifies and reuses the solvent up to 99.5 percent, yielding very little by product.
This environmentally conscious process, which is also 100 percent organic since the basis is a natural raw material, has been on the receiving end of numerous awards, including the European Award for the Environment by the European Union.
No harmful chemicals are used in the manufacturing process.
The only current lyocell manufacturer in the United States is Lenzing Fibers, and the company markets the product under the trademarked brand name Tencel as a soft, absorbent, durable, versatile and eco-friendly fibre.

Callus Remover by Toilet Tree

  With summer time almost here, you are probably ready to wear sandals, or already are. But are your feet ready for sandals? I know mine weren't.  Are you tired of paying am outrageous price for this spa service? Of you answered yes, why not give this callus remover a try. You can purchase it for less than going to the spa.



  The kit comes with 2 heads,  so you can have one, and a family member can use the other replacement. It comes with 2 batteries, a cover and a brush to clean it with. I recommend using the callus remover outside, in the tub, or over a newspaper, as there will be lots of white powdery,  dead skin coming off. It will take a short time to get your results if your feet are badly callused. But it is well worth it.

  To use: concentrate on each spot for a few seconds,
move the callus remover back and forth over the spot
after a few seconds check the progress, if it is not smooth yet, go over the area again.
The callus remover can be used on wet or dry feet. You do not need to press hard, let the callus remover do the work.
*** When you first turn it on, it sounds like it could hurt, but actually it kind of tickles, no pain at all. I received this product for purpose of inspection and unbiased review. All opinions are mine.

Steam the Skin: Consider maximizing the benefits of the mask by using the mask following a nice steamy shower. If you have a steam room, sit in the steam room for 15-20 minutes, or steam the bathroom without getting in the shower by turning on the shower with hot water, shutting the door and sitting in the room for 15-20 minutes. This measure helps to open up the pores before you get started.
Another way to steam the skin is to boil a pot of water or boil water in a bowl in the microwave. If you boil the water on the stove, pour the water into a bowl after it has reached a boiling point. Once the water is boiled and steamy, stand over the bowl of hot water and hold a towel over your head to keep the steam trapped. Avoid burning yourself by keeping a safe distance from the boiling hot water.
Fun Tip: Consider creating a spa like environment while steaming the skin by pampering yourself and adding a few drops of your favorite natural essential oil into the water. This creates an aromatherapy affect. If you don’t have any essential oils on hand, consider using pieces of orange, lemon, or even a couple drops of vanilla extract.
Directions : Step 1: Clean your face of all excess oil and bacteria and pat dry. Step 2: Apply a thick layer of the Adovia Purifying Dead Sea Mud by smoothing the product onto the face. Make sure to cover the entire face and neck. Also, pay close attention to problem areas like the T-zone (forehead, chin and cheeks), which produce the most oil. Leave the mask on your face for approximately 15 to 20 minutes until the mask is dry. Step 3: Rinse off the mask with warm water and a washcloth. Be careful to remove the mask gently so as to avoid irritating the skin. Once the mask is fully removed, splash your face with cool water to close the pores. Re-apply the mask once a week or whenever your skin feels like it needs a beautifying boost. Step 4: Follow up the mask with a lightweight moisturizer to leave you skin supple and soft.

6 in 1 stylus

  The pen is a little larger in diameter than a regular Bic type ink pen, but not as large as a pen at the Dr office. The pen is made of heavy duty aluminum, so it is a little heavier than a typical pen. It still balances well in the hand. The pens not a fine tipped pen, yet the ink flows from it to the paper easily.  Being made of aluminum it can take a beating without breaking easily. I received this product for purpose of inspection and unbiased review. All opinions and pictures are mine.


The 6 in 1 aspect of the pen consists of:
1.) A level, which is located on one side of the pen. This would come in handy during woodwork, or even hanging pictures.


2.) A ruler, also located on a side of the pen. The ruler measures up to 4 inches, or 10 centimeters.

3.) Ink Pen, To use the ink pen simply turn the end clockwise. (Counter clockwise to shut the pen) The pen is refillable, with a D-1 refill. To refill,  simply turn clockwise harder than you do to shut the pen.


4.) Stylus- the rubber tipped stylus is located at the opposite end of the ink pen tip. It can be used on all of your touch pad electronic devices.

5.) Flat head screwdriver tip - unscrew the end of the stylus, to expose the screwdriver

6.) Phillips screwdriver - also located under the stylus. These screwdrivers are perfect for small items, such as a phone, glasses or a child's toy.


  I like that the pen has a metal clip, to clip to your notebook or pocket. Most stylus are just that, only a stylus, and it never fails, when I am using a stylus, I always find something online that I want to jot down. With this stylus I no longer have to search for an ink pen too. I keep this in my purse with my kindle and phone. It has came in handy, when my daughter almost lost the screw out of her glasses too.

Firstchefpro Julienne Vegetable Peeler

To use this julienne tool Firstchefpro Julienne Vegetable Peeler Grab the vegetable, peel it, and cut off the ends. Hold the vegetable and tuck your fingers away. ( you do not want to cut yourself)
Hold the julienne tool at a 45 ° angle, starting at the top of the vegetable, press down while sliding it to the bottom. (Similar to how you use a potato peeler)
Pat the vegetables dry so they don't stick together

** You will not be able to safely julienne the entire vegetable. Some suggestions for using the center of the vegetable: Start a freezer baggie or container for soups and stew vegetables. You could also cut them up for stir fry or salads.
☆☆☆☆ Clean your julienne tool after each use. If you have a piece of vegetable that is stuck, a toothpick works great to remove it.

A few things that I have tried are zucchini linguine. Julienne the zucchini into strips, turning after every swipe. Saute for 3 to 5 min in 2. To 3 T butter or olive oil. Stirring every minute or so.
Spaghetti, julienne and turn after every pull. Can be heated in boiling step water, add a tsp of oil. Cook 4 min, drain well.Or can be sauted like the linguine from above. I received this product for purpose of inspection and unbiased review. All opinions are solely mine.

I have to eat gluten free, so this is a great addition to my kitchen. I tend to stay away from pasta, even if it is gluten-free. Now I can enjoy pasta without any worries of getting sick.
This tool would be ideal, for those on a low carb diet, eating Paleo, those who are Gluten-Free, Even those who need to eat more vegetables. Some of the vegetables that can be used are potatoes, parsnips, zucchini, carrots and squash.

Stainless Steel Muddler by Decodyne

  When choosing a muddler,  you do not want one that is varnished, or lacquered, as it can come off in your drink. You also do not want a muddler that has teeth, as they will crush or shred your herbs and citrus.




 If you have never used a muddler before, you may be a bit aprehensive. As I was when I first started bar tending and a customer ordered a Mojito. Here are a few steps to ensure that you get the right outcome:
● Make sure that you have a sturdy glass. To thin of a glass and you could chip it while muddling.
● Put the leaves in the bottom of the glass, add a teaspoon or so of sugar. Press down lightly on the leaves. Just a few gentle twists. 4 or under should be enough. Add fruit if the drink calls for it. Fruit takes a couple more turns of the muddler
● When your kitchen, or bar smells minty, or herby, you are done.

If your herb is shredded or crushed, you muddled to long, and you are going to have a bitter drink. This is due to the release of Chlorophyll.

Until the 90's the muddler was most commonly used for an Old Fashioned.
A few other drinks requiring a muddler:
● Mojitos - made with light rum
● Caipirinha- made with Cachaca
● Caipirosa- made with vodka
● Mint Julep - Made with bourbon or whiskey
● Old Fashioned - Made with whiskey or brandy

☆☆☆☆☆☆ Always muddle with no ice. Sugar is good for muddling, it helps to masticate  the herbs.  If you want a clean drink you can pour it through a cocktail shaker or sieve.

A few recipes using a muddler:
 ☆ Mojitos - Muddle mint, with a teaspoon of sugar at the bottom of the glass. Add rum, lime juice and club soda.

☆ Muddled Rebuttal - muddle 5 raspberries in a tall Mojito glass, with a tsp of sugar or sugar syrup added. Put ice in the glass, pour the vodka, and squeeze some lemon

☆Strawberry Basil cooler - Muddle the basil in a cocktail shaker,  then muddle the strawberries,  add a few ice cubes, syrup, lime juice and vodka, Serve the mixture in another glass filled with ice and club soda.

Regenepure Intense Volumizing Biotin Conditioner


  This conditioner is made with all natural ingredients such as tea tree oil, jojoba. The conditioner is free from SLS, DEA, parabens  and harmful chemicals.It deeply moisturizes your hair, and scalp while nourishing. With continued use, it reapairs, cuticle damage, making your hair more resistant to future damage.

My hair is shinier and softer. It only takes a small amount to do the job. I suggest leaving the conditioner on for about 5 minutes, to ensure your hair gets the most benefits.


The study was designed to test the ability of sequential applications of biotin-containing ointment to increase serum biotin levels. Twenty atopic dermatitis patients (mean age, 20.5 yr) and 11 healthy subjects (mean age, 25.5 yr) volunteered to participate in this study. The diagnosis of atopic dermatitis was established dermatologically. Seven grams per day of ointment containing 0.3% biotin and 1-4 g per day of steroid ointment were both applied sequentially. The healthy subjects applied only biotin ointment. The biotin concentration was determined microbiologically. Before biotin treatment, the average serum biotin level was significantly lower in atopic dermatitis patients than in healthy subjects. The percutaneous application of biotin-containing ointment caused a significant increase in the serum biotin concentration in both healthy subjects (from 41.5 +/- 10.0 to 50.2 +/- 9.2 nmol/L) and in atopic dermatitis patients (from 27.9 +/- 17.4 to 50.7 +/- 21.6 nmol/L), especially in patients whose initial level was low, and also could be effective in regulating the atopic allergic response involving eosinophils. In conclusion, biotin appears to be readily absorbed through both normal and dermatitis-affected human skin.

Ingredients :
● Biotin - A B vitamin that can also be referred to as vitamin H. Biotin aids in reproducing healthy skin and hair by creating new skin cells and encouraging hair growth. Studies have shown that an extra dose of biotin can assist growing hair longer, thicker and healthier. 
●Tea Tree Oil - Used by aboriginal communities in Australia for many years as an antiseptic, tea tree oil can be applied topically for a number of skin ailments including fungal infections, cuts, burns, and acne. It has also been shown to help treat dandruff, and encourages healthy hair growth by unclogging hair follicles and removing dead skin and build up on the scalp. 
●Simmondsia Chinesis (Jojoba) Seed Oil - Chemically similar to the natural oils of the scalp, jojoba helps to replace essential oils that shampoo cleansers typically remove.
● Keratin - Hydrolyzed Keratin, a derivative from non-animal sources, increases moisture, volume, and encourages hair growth by penetrating all three layers of hair. While hair is already made up of about 80% Keratin, Hydrolyzed Keratin consists of amino acids similar to the amino acids already found in hair. It also replaces cysteine, a semi-essential amino acid that reduces split ends and results in smoother hair. 
●Silk protein - Derived from silk, hydrolyzed silk protein comes in both, powder and liquid form, and benefits the hair by restoring moisture while imparting shine and body. It combines with the Keratin in the hair to create a protective barrier that traps in moisture to condition damaged hair and eliminate dryness. It also strengthens hair while improving its elasticity.
● Copper Peptides - Copper tripeptide-1 reduces inflammation, rebuilds the skins protective barrier, and increases water retention. It also assists in restoring blood microcirculation and removing dead, damaged skin proteins, while increasing hair follicle mass.
