Leader Accessories Fuga 11pc car seat cover set review
We have a beater car that we use for family outings, hauling stuff, kids, dogs and pretty much everything that can get messy. This care seat cover set has been great for keeping the car looking nice and it was easy to install.
I really like that I have been able to wash the seat covers without dam
age. They are thin though, so they will not prevent liquid spills from seeping through to the seat underneath.
I received this car seat cover set at a discounted price in exchange for an honest review, however I would happily pay full price for this set if ever the need arises again.

First Botany Cosmeceuticals Tea Tree Oil body and foot scrub review
I really love body scrubs and tea tree oil is a favorite of mine so I was so pleased to get the opportunity to purchase the First Botany Cosmeceuticals Tea Tree Oil scrub at a discounted price in exchange for a review!
I really love the smell of this scrub! (Well, is smells just like tea tree oil, so of course I do!) Very nice, light, fresh scent. It exfoliates beautifully and it leaves my skin so soft I do not need moisturizer after!
This scrub should not be used over cuts or when shaving (which is a bummer because it
makes my skin SO soft!) and I have KP on my arms that flares up a bit with it.
I would absolutely recommend this scrub, it really works wonderfully and the scent is perfect for a stress relief bath!

80% HCA 100% Pure Maximum Strength Garcinia Cambogia Premium Extract review
https://momsblogformoms.blogspot.com/b/post-preview?token=fFbIXFQBAAA.Uc9uKZl2KVqt_-IFYk3bxmjfiuYXS2btsbosyV0KsBp32yJTe56k59tct8TvmvzMcgv25qwWd0ZKYVj8AGiPQw.sI0CQ0CIocp62UPgtnCLzA&postId=4583003141059681535&type=POSTI have always been a skeptic of the Garcinia Cambogia supplements so I was so pleased when I had the opportunity to get a bottle at a discounted price in exchange for an honest review.
I have been taking these for almost two weeks now and I have been shocked to see 6 pounds shed off of my body in that short period of time! Especially because losing weight after the birth of my last child has been impossible for me, even with healthy eating and activity.
My husband started taking these as well, but he did not see much for results so he ultimately stopped taking them. After seeing my results, he decided to give them another try and keep going with them this time. The average weight loss results, according to the company is 3-4 pounds per month. My body seems to be really reacting quickly with them though, so clearly each body handles them differently.
At the end of the day, these have been great for me and I will continue taking them until I reach my personal weight goals - which seem so much more attainable now!

3 Way Cat Tunnel Toy review
Our kitty, Buster was very pleased to have the opportunity to review this three way cat tunnel! For the past couple of weeks she has been trying it out and after careful deliberation, this is the conclusion she has come to:
Initial thoughts: At first it was a little bit scary. I mean the thing is huge and makes a lot of noise. When alone in the room with just Mom, the center of the tunnel began making a slight crunching sound. Had to check it out! BOOM! into the middle of the tunnel, this thing is AMAZING!
With three dark tunnels to investigate and a crunchy center to continually attack, I'm not sure what else a cat could possibly want in life aside from food!
When it's time to wind down from play, this tunnel makes a nice dark place to hang out and sleep.
When company comes over mom folds it up like a pancake and slides it between the dresser and the wall. Good thing it opens and closes easily because by the time those people leave I'm ready to play again!
Mom received this toy at a discounted price in exchange for a review. This tunnel is great for play and sleep and we would definitely recommend it!
Check this tunnel out on Amazon and don't forget to watch my video playing in the tunnel! Here's the link: http://www.amazon.com/Cat-Tunnel-Toy-Entertained-Exercising/product-reviews/B00FKPTIB2/ref=cm_cr_dp_synop?ie=UTF8&showViewpoints=0&sortBy=recent#R2959BV5FEUF59

Bronze shower curtain hooks review and link to product
I have been recently re-vamping our bathroom and I was so pleased that I was given the opportunity to exchange a review on these beautiful hooks for a discount.
I am so glad that I did because I really love them! Aside from the fact that they really add a nice look to the bathroom, they slide really well along the curtain rod. The easy sliding is not something that I had even considered when purchasing them. I was pleasantly surprised the first day when I went to pull the curtain open and..... No catching, no tugging, they just slid right past. I am now officially "hooked" (Nerdy pun intended)
Back to my original reason for purchasing them, I am trying to make the bathroom look nicer all around, and they certainly do their part. They look really nice and classy just as I had hoped.
If you are smarter than me, you will apply the hooks to the curtain and then slide them on the end of the curtain rod in order to avoid having to pull them far apart in attempt to keep them from scratching your curtain rod. If you ARE like me, you will be happy to know that they will pull apart just fine and push back together looking just the same as they started.
And to top it all off, these hooks are rust proof with a 10 year guarantee from the company. All things considered, I am very happy that we purchased these curtain hooks and I will most certainly be happy to recommend them!

Angel Crafts 12" x 12" Self Adhesive Vinyl Sheets (35 PACK) review
I am a novice at using vinyl, but I have always been SO curious about it so I was very pleased when I was given the opportunity to get this pack at a discounted price in exchange for a review.
Even though I am a new with vinyl work and I have no "equipment" for doing vinyl work, these sheets were really simple to use. I was able to cut my design with a scissors or razor blade ( I found the razor blade easier) and just peel the vinyl cut out off of the sheet. The material is really easy to work with. I was able to stretch it and move it around as needed while applying it and it still worked just fine. You can apply the vinyl to pretty much any flat surface. My first try was on my computer and I think it turned out looking super cute!
The company that sells the sheets is a new business that is working hard to make a great product and it shows in their customer service. Shortly after ordering the product, I received an email explaining a bit about the company and asking for any feedback that they can use to improve their product. I really think that they care about making a quality product and they have really hit the mark on this one!
With 35 sheets of BEAUTIFUL assorted colors, I will continue to have SO much fun with this down the road and there is a lot there so it will really last a long time. My only regret is not having found this product sooner.

Flora Florida's Women Elegant Semi Formal Midi Dress Review
Searching for a nice summer dress that will keep you cool and look cute at the same time can be an absolute pain in the neck so I was pleased to have the opportunity to try and review this summer dress.
When the dress arrived, I was very happy to find that the material is nice and light and will definitely keep me cool on a hot day! The cut of the dress if very cute, although in my case this cut is really not flattering on its own. There is a piece that drapes across from the left shoulder and ends just below the hip. The view on the left side of the dress is a pretty gathered look and you can see the draping fabric. On the right side of the dress, it kind of looks like I'm wearing a hefty bag - and it makes me look a bit heftier myself. Have no fear though! This dress can still be cute on you! Simply take out a belt or a cute thin material scarf and tie
it around your waste. Voi La!

This dress could really be dressed up or worn casual which I really like. My personal favorite is a denim jacket or vest and a pair of boots. Super cute! I wear my dress with a pair of spanks underneath unless I intend to keep a jacket on because it will show any funny lumps if yo have them. I also would have ordered one size larger if I knew then what I know now.
Overall this is a very pretty dress and I'm glad to have it as an addition in my closet.
Oh, and P.S. - My husband LOVES it! :)

Live Infinitely 32 oz. Infuser Water Bottle with Full Length Infuser Rod
This infuser bottle has been wonderful for me! It has been a great start to a change in my health and lifestyle and I am so happy to have it in my life! (No, really.... the thing goes everywhere with me!) I received this water bottle from the Live Infinitely company in exchange for my honest opinion. I am obsessed with using informative reviews when making a decision on a product that I am looking into so I do my best to give a thorough review along with my personal opinion so that the reader can make their decision with as much information as possible. So here are my thoughts......
This bottle is definitely thicker than I had expected, but they taper it down a bit toward the bottom so it will still fit nicely in the cup holder of both my car (Kia Optima) and my truck (Dodge Ram) - This is important to me because the water bottle is basically attached at my hip now. I do not leave the house without it, but I don't like when I can't fit my drink into a drink holder.
There is a stopper that goes over the lip of the water bottle when you close the cap to prevent any water from leaking out and so far, I have not experienced even a drop of leakage. The cap has a button that you push to open it up that I like. It pops open with ease every time. There is also a little metal ring right by the button that you can push up and it will lock the water bottle shut so you can't accidentally hit the button and have the whole thing come open and spill. When you don't want to use the lock, you simply push the ring down and it locks itself out of the way.
There is an indented grip on the side of the water bottle for you to hold the bottle with. I very much appreciate this because I have small hands and the thick bottle would otherwise be a pain for me to handle. I do have to be conscious of the position that I close the lid in so that it "lines up" with where the grip is. Otherwise the cap will be in my face when I take a drink. At first this was annoying. Now it's just a part of my daily routine and I know right where I need to start the lid to get it to twist into the proper place.
There is also a plastic ring attached to the lid of the water bottle so that you can hook it onto something. My first thought was that a metal ring would probably hold up better, but it does seem to be sturdy. I do not personally have much use for this but I have been hooking it onto the back of my bag when I go on afternoon walks for the sole purpose of testing it out for this review. So far, it has not broken.
I DO, in fact go to bed without this water bottle, but that's because I fill it up before bed so that anything I put in it overnight has ALL NIGHT to get good and infused. Another thing that you can do, is take the infuser rod out and put it in a pitcher of water so you can infuse a larger batch of water for the next day. When you order the water bottle, the company also sends a document with all of the information that you could need about the water bottle and how to get the best use out of it. They also provide a whole bunch of different recipe ideas and the amount of infusing time that's best for each, which was really helpful for me starting off.
If you are looking for any other ideas on what to put in your infuser bottle, or how to combine items to address specific health benefits, you can also check
out Pinterest. There are SO many ideas, along with lists of what items will have what benefits. My personal favorite combination is green tea, cucumber, lemon and mint. I initially thought that I would prefer sweet fruits, but I really love the taste of these items and that they provide that health effect that I am personally looking for. One of my main goals with this infuser bottle was to drink more water and steer away from Soda. Between the taste and the caffeine (Green tea) that I add to my infuser bottle, I am happy to report that I no longer have cravings for soda. (This is a gigantic step for me!)
Previously, in any given day, I would have coffee in the morning, drink a ton of soda throughout the day and have a glass of water before bed. (Not good for my body or my dental bill) Now I drink two of these infuser bottles full of water each day instead of all that soda and I truly feel better! I do still enjoy my morning coffee (I don't think anything could stop me from that!) But the amount that I have already saved, honestly - just in the cost of soda (Not only in price, but the toll it takes on my body) is SO very worth it to me! So my overall opinion is that this infuser bottle is absolutely great! It's very nice looking on top of its benefits and as I am working on turning my lifestyle around to focus on health living, this infuser bottle has been perfect!

Ultimate Blocks and Gears by ETI Toys
A few weeks ago our family was given the opportunity to purchase the ultimate blocks and gears toy from ETI toys at a discounted price in exchange for an honest review. After lots of fun and testing, this is what we have concluded:
What we love about them:
- They Are great for all ages. That's right, from my 2 year old all the way up to my 29 year old. :) All the kids in my family love this toy!
- This toy challenges the mind. I love toys that cause my children to think and explore and use their imaginations and this toy does just that! I absolutely love watching them while they "design" and create their own ideas. If they can think it up, they can bring it to life and they are proud of themselves!
- After weeks of use, this toy has not gotten old yet. There are only a few toys that my kids keep going back to over and over and this is one of them.
- I like the size of the pieces, it makes it perfect for even the youngest children to explore and start building on their find motor skills. (And there is no risk of babies or toddlers swallowing pieces while oder siblings play.)
- The colors are great - they are bright and fun and gender neutral which I really appreciate.
- Aside from the cubes, the pieces in this toy will not kill your feet when you inevitably trod on them by accident. (Again, I really appreciate that, and so do my feet!)
What we thought could be improved
- My husband pointed out that he wishes the chart they send with the toy showing pictures of things to build, also would have included instructions on how to do a couple of them. I think this is a fair point but we have still had plenty of fun creating on our.
- You have to consciously put the pieces neatly in the box or the box will overflow, and it will be impossible to close. Yup, it forces you to exercise your organization skills. (On the other hand, this could be a pro, but not when I'm trying to get out of the house in a rush.) ;)
Overall, the things that we thought could be improved are minor, especially in comparison to the amount of fun that we have had! This toy has been played with daily and my kids are still excited to play with it. If you have more than two children, you might want to get a couple sets so that everyone has enough pieces for their creations. I thing this toy is great and I would absolutely recommend it

Crown Coast Heavy Duty Umbrella
I had the opportunity this week to test out the Crown Coast Heavy Duty Umbrella
After two weeks of use and abuse by myself and my children, I have to say that this umbrella is absolutely great! There are three key factors that have me sold:
The appearance: This umbrella has a very elegant and attractive look, all the way down to the handle. I personally chose the black color, but there is a wide variety of colors and they all look absolutely beautiful to me!
The function: The truly impressive thing about this umbrella is the way that it works. It is designed to give way in heavy winds unlike other umbrellas, so the wind does not damage the umbrella and it can easily be popped back in place with no damage done. Turns out, the wind is not all it will withstand! For two weeks, my children and I have manhandled this thing to no end and still it has held up beautifully. The rods on this umbrella are sturdy enough that they have not popped out of place due to the wind once while we were using it, but given a strong enough force, the WILL give! I have literally pulled the rods up and around and they just bounce back. You can flip the umbrella completely inside out and simply pull the outside edge to pop it back and with damage done. Where the heck has this thing been all my life?!
The customer Service: Just as the umbrella is amazing, it is backed up by extremely responsive and friendly customer service. I have emailed the company a couple of times since purchasing the umbrella and they are quick to reply and very helpful. Besides that, the company offers a lifetime guarantee on the umbrella, which in my experience is something a company will not offer unless they have a dang good product.
This company allowed me to purchase their product at a discounted price in exchange for my honest opinion and my opinion is that this umbrella is worth every penny! I will be buying a couple more down the road to have around and I would absolutely recommend it to anyone!
