New Curtains!

So, I have been a little MIA lately. I apologize. I have had family visiting from outside the country and a few new projects up my sleeve. While we have hit up the beach and visited a few new places, we have also been redecorating. I got these awesome new blackout curtains to review.

Each Panel measures 50" inch x 84" inch (Pair measures 100" inch x 84" inch)

Care Instructions: Machine Wash Cold, delicate cycle with mild detergent. Do not bleach. Tumble dry low. Cool iron if needed.

They are really good! Just look at the difference between the black ones on the left and the new red ones on the right! 

Now look at the difference in light coming from the same window with half of it open.

And the color is beautiful! I was a little worried when I ordered the red ones, but it is a deep red instead of a bright red.

I love the texture of these curtains as well, but my favorite thing about them is that they are thermal insulated. That means that it is not as hot in my home as it has been this entire summer. We did not use a curtain rod here because my bed is right next to it and I want complete darkness. If I put a curtain rod, then light would come in from the sides a bit. Yes, I'm a little OCD about my night time routine! I ordered the Red curtains because I have a painting I won on a cruise a few years ago that we have wanted to put up but did not have anything to match it with. Now There will be a theme! If you need total darkness in a room, or want to keep your house cool, I highly recommend these curtains!

Future posts: I will be posting about some cruelty free, natural make up!

Sunsella Buddy Boxes Review

I think by now you can tell I am obsessed with food containers. I have reviewed so many over the past year and each one has their own personality. While the Sunsella Buddy Box is geared mostly to kids, I find myself using them on a regular basis. Why? Because of the different compartments. It reminds me to add different foods to whatever the main "dish" is. For example, my son one mid morning asked me for an egg sandwich, to which I happily obliged. I placed it in the buddy box after cutting it up, and noticed the two extra compartments empty. This prompted me to go to the fridge and grab some blueberries and raspberries. I thought, "How else can I make this a great brunch?" So I got a silicone cupcake liner and added some homemade hummus, with some baby carrots sliced up, and I also cut up a cheese stick and put it on the side. I was so jealous of his brunch, I made myself a duplicate.

There is one problem with these trays, and that is that they are not leak proof. So what I do is If I want a salad or something that I know will leak, I place the dressing in a separate container. For example, Aiden had a playdate at the park one day and we brought a cucumber salad along with watermelon, hummus, and pretzels. I brought the dressing in the container from the Salad Cups, and the watermelon in a leak proof bowl. We then had a picnic at the park with some yummy healthy food.

Fixing My Pinterest Fail

Oh yea, remember my Pinterest Fail from a couple weeks back? Now I got an easy fix! I got these awesome salad cups to review. It comes with a case of two salad containers, and each comes with a fork and a salad dressing cup. So now if I want to take a salad to the park, it won't be soggy when I am ready to eat it! You can use this for fruit or veggies, or a combination if that is what you like. They are NOT leak proof, but it comes with the little salad dressing container to store separately.

Genius Charger

Are you like me and have a what seems like a billion chargers and wires laying around? Yea! I always have charger cables laying around but I always seem to break them or lose them.  I ordered this charging cable for Samsung Note 3 and S5. I'll tell you right now, I did not like it. It charged my phone very slowly. What is the point of a fast charging cable if it does the opposite of what it is intended? I use it only when I can't find any of my other charging cords.

Intel-A-Temp Bottle Warmer & Sterilizer Review

I rarely review baby products anymore because I have a toddler, but this bottle warmer caught my attention because I hated the one I had. So I decided to review it for those of you who have babies or are expecting. I made a video of it working with the different settings below if you would like to watch it. 

My favorite features of the Intel-A-Temp warmer was that it turns of automatically. If the water gets too hot, it will turn off. This is an important feature that most bottle warmers don't come with. You can also set the temperature to what you find appropriate. It comes with the temperatures recommended, but you can adjust it as your baby gets older. You can also sterilize the baby bottles and nipples as you need it. It only takes about 10-15 minutes. Another cool feature is you can warm baby food in the little compartment it brings. If you want to warm up store bought baby food, or frozen homemade baby food. Since I have a toddler, I decided to give this as a gift to a friend who is having a baby soon.

Fé Fit Fé Fuel Coconut Pecan Bars

As you can tell, I have been reviewing quite a few bars, and a lot of gluten free items. So far everything I have tasted has been loved by my family aside from a few flavors. I'll admit, I am more favorable to these healthy snacks than my Husband is, but he has loved many of them and we buy some on a regular basis. So of course I try to review as many to know what works best for our family. I was given the chance to try Fé Fit Fé Fuel bars and was given the option of picking the flavor. I chose coconut pecan because the other flavors did not appeal to me.

The coconut pecan flavor is pretty good. There are no complaints from the flavor or ingredients, in my department. Where I have a problem with these is the texture. It is just too hard! If it is too hard for me to chew, it is definitely too hard for my son to chew. What I eat, my son eats; all snacks in my household have to be toddler friendly. So this snack did not pass the test. Which is sad because it does really taste good and is whole natural. I am not sure if the other flavors are like this, as I only got these to try. They are small enough to fit into your purse or workout gear for an easy snack or pick me up! They arrived in a cute pink box with great presentation. They are not bad snacks, just not right for us. We prefer softer bars.

FSL Zn30 in Ear Headphones Review

Hubby is one of those people that go through headphones like candy. He always ends up taking mine! I have officially declared the FSL Zn30 headphones as mine! When I first fot the package in the mail, I said I wondered why the box was so heavy! Turns out it comes with a little case to hold your headphones and all it's accessories. It came with accesories I have never even seen before! There were silicone tips, double flange tips, expanding foam tips, ear fins, and ear hooks. You can experiment and see what works best for your ears. For me, the small double flange tips along with the medium ear fins work amazing for me.

 

These headphones fit my ears and don't fall down as I clean the house. Music is the way I get the most I can get done in a small amount of time, so I need a pair of headphones that wont budge as I run back and forth throughout the house. I only had one problem with these headphones. I did not find them loud enough. I think I may have been spoiled with the wooden headphones I reviewed a while back with amazing sound quality. Aside from that aspect, these headphones are pretty cool. One cool feature is that the headphone wire is flat. This decreases that tangle mess and keeps them alive longer. Hubby prefers the thick round cords instead, but he doesn't take care of them as much as I do.
