I have been wanting a torch for my kitchen forever. It was just one of those gadgets I could never justify getting. Well recently my husband and I have empty nested and I am able to cook some more sophisticated meals. I wanted to make Creme Brulee and everyone knows you need a culinary torch to make that. It just isn't the same without the browned sugar on the top. So I broke down and bought this torch. I am very happy with it!This is very easy to use. It is self-igniting and has childproof safety measures. That will be good for when my grandkids want to cook with me. This is cordless and refills very easily. This also works at any angle. I could tell that this was of good quality as soon as I opened it. Nice heavy duty tool but not too heavy that you can't use it comfortably.

Pictured here you will see a photo of my newest 2 best friends. I absolutely love Koffee Kult coffee. I had a feeling I would love this when it arrived and I could tell what was in the box, the thick cardboard Amazon box before I even opened it. This coffee, first of all, smells fabulous. (SERIOUSLY make this into a candle) I enjoy smelling it brew. I have used these beans in my french press and in a stovetop espresso maker. The expresso woke me right up and made me feel zingy for hours. Great for first thing in the morning! The french press coffee came out bold yet smooth. It has no bitter after taste at all and I don't need cream or sugar to make this coffee palatable. I love this black. that is a big perk for me since I am on a diet. Not extra calories!

I have fine hair that has a wave in it. Just enough of a wave that I can never just wash and dry my hair and go because it just looks.....wonky. It pops up in places it shouldn't and lays too flat in places it shouldn't. This has always driven me crazy and I had started to through it into a ponytail and go. I just don't like spending tons of time on my hair. I decided to try this brush straightener, because what could be easier than brushing your hair? Honestly I skeptical that it would work the way it was advertised, but it really does what it says it will do! This straightens my hair nicely. Certain areas I have to go over a couple of times but still that takes just seconds to do. I can also get a lift in my hair with this. I use it at the roots and pull my hair tightly upwards and then run the brush through it. That gives it some boost at the roots. This also gives you a choice as far s heat settings go. You can use lower heat on finer more thin hair or higher heat in courser hair. It is fully controllable by you. This si constructed well and looks as though it will last a long time. Very happy I gave this a chance. No more ponytails for me! I received this for free or at a discount in exchange for an honest review.

This is the most adorable set. It comes with 4 very soft and double sided bibs (the back side of them are super soft so they can be worn next to bare skin) The patterns include anchors. arrows, stars, and polka dots. They have a 3 snap nickel free closure for easy on and off and to e=wear at many sizes. They are machine washable. This super cute set also come with a pacifier clip and a strap to hold a bottle or toy. This set is packaged to look like a high-end speciality shop brand. This set would work for both a boy or a girl and would make a great shower gift! I received this for free or at a discount in exchange for an honest review.

I have been wanting a Fitbit forever but I just could not justify the cost. When I ran across this Vcall Smart Bracelet Tracker, I decided to try it out. Not only is it less expensive, it has all of the same features. This counts your steps (and appears to be accurate after testing it out by walking and counting my steps) Shows calorie consumption (sigh). it tracks your sleeping quality (which is not good, no wonder I am tired all the time). You can set reminders, show SMS content on the tracker, see caller ID and it has gesture control which makes it very easy to check the time. This has a very sensitive touch screen but I haven't experienced it being reset or any buttons being activated when I didn't want them to be. This is also USB charged which is so nice, no batteries required. The only disappointment is that I am not finding any replacement bands for this. I really would like to be able to switch them out for different colors and patterns. I received this for free or at a discount in exchange for an honest review.

I have been trying to eat more healthy and get back to basics. Whole food, not pre-made or packaged foods so we know what is going into our body. This has prompted me to purchase some new kitchen tools that I didn't need before. This Rolling Pin is one of those! When I was looking for a rolling pin I knew I didn't want a wooden one. The wood can harbor germs and make yu sick. I had a wooden one years ago and it actually got moldy. ICK! This one is a sleek stainless rolling pin which looks really sharp and stays germ and bacteria free. That is why I went with this one. This is an easy to use, dishwasher safe rolling pin that I know I will be using a lot in the future! I received this for free or at a discount in exchange for an honest review.

My husband is a smoker (I am not) and I have an older car. These things combined to create a scent in my vehicle I do not love. When I saw this I thought GREAT! A way to fix it. I have to admit I was a bit skeptical at first. I put this in my car and a few days later I drove my car and realized it smelled MUCH better. The musty scent was almost completely gone and the smoke scent was greatly reduced. I look forward to seeing what it can do over the course of weeks. I am hoping it will remove the scent of smoke completely. This purifier is a really sharp looking addition to the car. It isn't loud of gaudy and it is weighted nicely to make sure it stays hanging flat against the car seat. I do not notice it bumping against my seat even when I hit a big bump. It is approx 11.5 inches long and 3.5 inches wide and a nice deep grey in color. I received this for free or at a discount in exchange for an honest review.

I recently gave up soda and have been drinking a lot of water which is good for me but BORING. I have purchased several infuser water bottles and this is BY FAR my favorite. This one has a lot of little details that make it stand out among the others. This bottle has a silicon grip on one side and a raised bumpy plastic section on the other side. This is so nice and keep the bottle from sliding out of your hands. This also has a hook that is can be carried or hung from and the lid is a very cool one. It has a loop to keep it closed and then a one touch open which is great for if you are on the phone, driving or whatever, The infuser is longer than some so you can get more fruit in there, most taste and more nutrients. This is a very nice thick plastic that is 100% BPA free. It is also shatter resistant and leak proof! I received this for free or at a discount in exchange for an honest review.

It is a strange thing for me that my face has become dry with age. I have always dealt with a super oily face and at about 45, my skin started drying out and now at 47, My skin on my face is super dry. I am always on the lookout for something to help this. I also tend to steer away from creamy, oily lotions and masks. Even though my skin has dried out it is still VERY sensitive to things and breaks out easily. I really thought that would stop when/if my skin dried up but I guess not. Anyways I was intrigued after reading the reviews about this being more of a gel mask then a creamy or oily one. When this arrived I wasn't disappointed. It is truly a nice gel that leaves no residue behind on your skin. It isn't oily or greasy at all and it doesn't break out my skin at all. It is bright yellow which I didn't expect and it smells lovely. Not too strong but a very nice scent. I have used this now for over a week and a half and I can tell that my skin looks far more hydrated than before. I am not peeling on my forehead or nose anymore, that is a win for me!

The idea of using essential oils for weight loss was something that wasn't on my radar before I found this product. I have recently gotten into the essential oil craze and was looking for oils to use in a diffuser to scent my home when I ran across this. I was skeptical but willing to give it a try. I am in my later 40's and my metabolism is so slow I would say it is going backwards lol ANYTHING that helps with this is worth a try in my book. I have been putting this on my arms, thighs and stomach right after breakfast and then later in the day when I couldn't smell it anymore. It goes on the skin nicely and doesn't leave behind a greasy residue. The scent was surprising to me because I expected it to smell like grapefruit but it is more of a minty scent. It isn't unpleasant at all but if you are expecting grapefruit scent, this isn't what you are after. I feel that my desire to eat constantly is curbed by this. I have only been using it now for about 10 days so I cannot tell you if I have lost much weight but I am craving food less and less the more I use it. I have also increased my water intake as a result of using this. That is never a bad thing!!! I received this for free or at a discount in exchange for an honest review.

When I purchased this tea the company sent me a message explaining the grades of tea and that this is an eco class of tea. They said this is better utilized in baking. I disagree! This tea tastes so much better than a more expensive brand I have here at home. This tea is not bitter, smooth and mixes really well. there is no excessive stirring to make it dissolve, it mixes right in with the water. I have drunk this both hot and cold and love it. Matcha can be an acquired taste, it is earthy almost like freshly cut grass. Not everyone likes it but they should give it a chance. The health benefits are out of this world! This has so many antioxidants in it and it is supposed to speed up metabolism which is NEVER a bad thing. I received this for free or at a discount in exchange for an honest review.

I have switched from drinking soda to almost all water. I had been buying the plastic water bottles and there are a couple of reasons I don't like them. #1 they are clogging up our landfills etc with plastic bottles and #2 the water always tasted "off" in them to me. I also just never trust that drinking out of plastic bottles is completely safe. There have to be chemicals in the plastic that leaches into the water you are drinking. So I ordered this nifty bottle. It is made from glass that is vert strong and holds up well plus it has the silicone carrier on it that offers up some protection from dropping and breaking. I like that the top has a handle that is on the lid too, can just stick a finger through there to carry it! I received this for free or at a discount in exchange for an honest review.

I was very unsure when ordering this because it is so hard to judge how something will look when you are purchasing online. Art especially, you want it to be an exact replica of the piece. I was NOT disappointed with the Gustav Klimt piece at all! I was pleasantly surprised at how rich and thick the color pigment was on this synthetic canvas. The colors are true to the original piece and this is a gorgeous reproduction! This has a slight sheen to it and that only accents the colors. The whole canvas measures approx 15 x 15 and the print itself is approx. 12 x 12. Plenty of room to either frame or stretch this canvas. This is NOT pixelated at all. It is a crisp clear image. I am VERY happy with this and will be using this in my new home. I received this for free or at a discount in exchange for an honest review.

This is a handy little gizmo that does what it says it does. It holds several electronic devices. I use it for two iPad Airs and it works fine for those so it suits my purposes, therefore, I am giving it 4 stars. I don't know how it would hold 4 large pads or other tablets, though. Like some have said it is plastic and it doesn't appear to be very strong. This really is a great concept and would be improved if made from a stronger material.

Oh, My...I love this tea. I have always been a fan of Chia tea but this is the first time I have used loose leaf tea. I put this into my French coffee press to steep and left it a full 5 minutes because I love strong tea, especially ones that have the spice blend this one does. This tea smells delicious from the minute you open the resealable bag. It is aromatic and the taste is out of this world. It is full bodied and strong with spices but the tea itself is smooth and goes down so well normally drink 2-3 cups of this. I like mine with a touch of cream and sugar but I would drink this without that if I didn't have it. THis makes my kitchen smell wonderful! I have even had a friend ask me what candle I am burning as I was steeping this. I received this for free or at a discount in exchange for an honest review.

I have a marker obsession. It is a serious thing. I love markers and these chalk markers are not any different. I got this set and it was promptly taken over my granddaughter. We colored with them for a bit and I can tell you that out of the chalk markers I have purchased, these are my favorites. The colors in these are very rich and full tones. They just seem thicker or brighter than some other chalk marker sets I have. They prime very easily (meaning the chalk liquid gets into the nibs for the first time) easily. The nibs are strong ad held up to vigorous coloring my heavy handed granddaughter. They come packaged nicely in a box that I intend to store them in. Overall a great set of markers you can use on lots of different surfaces. My favorite it to write little encouragement or love notes on a mirror for someone to see.

This is one of those kitchen gadgets you never knew you needed until you got them. I absolutely love these and have been using them for breakfast several times a week. These are so easy to use and can be used in a pot of boiling water or in the microwave. I prefer the boiling water, I just think it gives you the more traditional poached egg. I add either a spray of non-stick cooking spray to these or just a drop of cooking oil. Put your egg in it and float it on the boiling water, DONE. So easy to use. They clean up quickly and easily too. Such a simple concept but it works great! I would be lost without them in my kitchen after having had them.

My business revolves around adhesive vinyl so I love to have lots of it around for when inspiration hits or a customer requests a certain color that may not be one of the "normal" colors. This set really enhances my collection with many colors. It comes flat so you don't have to worry about it rolling up on you and not laying flat for cutting. I use a Silhouette machine to cut but this should work on any kind of plotter cutter such as the Cricut too. This has been rated for 5 years (depending on circumstances) usability so it should be ok for outdoors or to be hand washed if applying to cups or plates etc. The sheets are 12 x 6 (approx) and it feels to be the same weight as the Oracle 651 I am used to using. Be careful when applying this to walls inside because it can damage the paint or wall when removed. A tip: use a hair dryer to heat it up before removal to minimize any wall issues.
