This party pong table rocks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That seems like and appropriate start to a review of a beer pong table lol. It is true though. We had so much fun with this last weekend for a large family event.
Earlier in the day, this started off as a soda pop pong table for the kids to entertain themselves with in between jumping in the pool and eating. A few of the grandkids were alarmingly good at soda pong. Alarmingly good. Midday this was used as a very nice, sturdy serving table for food and pop and then late in the day the older "kids" some in their fifties, to entertain themselves with. The table has good bounce and it is regulation size so it made it a lot more fun (and challenging) than just sitting the cups up on any old table.
This table is very well made, as I stated before, it is regulation size so nice and long but the company takes care of that by adding extra support legs in the middle. Tables made without those, at this length, would be too wobbly and flimsy in the middle. Speaking of the middle, the addition of the cooler pouch in the middle is genius. So handy. When we were serving food I used it to hold foods that spoil like mayonnaise based salads. Of course later in the day it was used to hold beer and even a pitcher of sangria. It really holds more than it looks like it would and easily empties out just by flipping it up and dumping the melted ice out. It also wipes out easily too. This folds easily and compactly down for storage too.
Overall this is a great addition to any back deck, basement or out by the pool like at my place. We will be getting a lot of use from this.

CookArt Microwave Plate Cover Food Strainer Collapsible Colander Ultimate Kitchen Tool Easy to Clean Use and Store
I have a large family and we use the microwave a lot, especially in the summer when we don't want to heat up the house with using the oven. We also just moved so the microwave is getting a lot of use because it is easy to use until the kitchen is unpacked. One thing I hate though is getting the microwave all messed up with food popping as it cooks.
This item is great for that. I know that the family can use a paper towel or something to cover their dish but for some reason, that seems to be too much work for everyone in my family. This is really easy for the to pop right over their food and they are good to go. While this would be very easy to store anywhere with its pop flat design, I store this right in the microwave. That way anytime anyone uses the microwave it is right in front of them.
This can also be used for a strainer too. I don't usually use the microwave for pasta but the other night I was craving mac and cheese and did my pasta in the microwave. When it was done I just lifted it out, cover and all and flipped it all upside down to drain. So easy to do!
The material is silicone and easily washes up. You can put this in the dishwasher and things come right off of it. I am very happy with my purchase!

GERO Tactical Hard Locking Steel Metal Gun Case
I purchased this case not to hold a gun but to keep small valuables in. A few years back with one of our now older kids, I had most of my Tiffany jewelry come up missing. WE now have another teenager who has friends in and out of the house and I needed something to be sure that the scenario above never happens again. WE also travel a lot for my husband's work and I always hate to leave anything of value in the hotel room. I ordered this in hopes that this would do the trick both at home and away fro the home.
This case is really nice. It has foam padding inside of it to protect the items in it. This is handy especially when you are traveling. The case itself is a hard shell with a sturdy lock with 2 keys included. There is also a cable that I use to put around the bed leg in my room or a hotel room to give this an added measure of security. The case cannot just be picked up and quickly carried off.
This si a geat quality case for the price point. I am very happy with it!!

Chef Essentials Over the Sink Dish Drying Rack
I recently moved to a new home that has a dishwasher but there is always something that is left in the sink or something you just want to wash up quickly without running a load of dishes. It is so nice to have this rack to use when I am doing that!
This fits over a standard sized sink nicely with some room left over so I believe it would fit a larger sink. This is easy to use and can even be used to create a bit more counter space when needed too. Just put it across a sink and viola! more area you can stack things. This is strong and has a silicone coating on it. It can withstand up to 400 degrees which is why I think it would also be good to use to put a cookie sheet on hot from the oven to cool too. This is very compact and easy to store too. Roll it up and you are good to go!
I am very happy with this and I know it is going to be used a lot. I received this at a discount in exchange for an honest and unbiased review.

Chef Essential 16" Round Cordierite Baking / Pizza Stone
This Chef Essential Pizza stone is a geat deal for the quality of the product! This stone is a super large thick heavy duty stone that should last a lifetime.
I have a Pampered Chef stone that I have used for a long time and when I ordered this, I was expecting something similar. This stone is by far a more heavy duty Pizza Stone. As you can see in the pictures, it is at least a half of an inch thick. The other stone I have isn't anywhere near that. I have always wanted to try the old one on the grill but never have because it felt too delicate to withstand it. This stone holds up to grilling beautifully! I cooked a homemade pizza on this tonight and it turned out fabulous. The crust was exactly right not to crisp but not soggy. The same pizza in the oven would have ended up soggy. (I tend to put a lot of stuff on a pizza) Using this on the grill will be my go to this summer. I prefer to cook on the grill than to heat up the whole house.

Desk Jockey Lumbar Support
I have a bad back. I also sit at my desk for about 8 hours a day. Not a good combination at all. I always have low back problems, bad enough that I have trouble sleeping at night because of them. When I was offered the chance to review this, I jumped on it!
This Desk Jockey Lumber Support has made all the difference in how my back feels from day to day. I could tell a difference in the first 10 minutes I used it. When I got up from using this for several hours straight, I was AMAZED at how much different my back felt. I wasn't stiff at all and I had no pain. The next day I awoke with a kink in my back so I decided to heat up the Lavender pack for the first time. I went to work and the heat went to work too. Within an hour, my back felt great! This is a well-made product that I predict will last for many years of use. I do not work without it behind me.
My only complaint is that I wish I had gotten this MUCH MUCH sooner.

Cusinework Steamer
I am so happy to have found these. I have all old hot pads (I am talking from my mom that she used ages ago. I absolutely LOVE the little finger covers that I can get things in and out of the oven with. So handy and if they get dirty, you just wipe them off or run them underwater.
I am also starting a healthy eating plan and love that I can steam in the little silicone basket. It is the perfect size for me (no one else will eat veggies in my family sadly) I used this last night to perfectly steam some broccoli and it was delicious. This is also easy clean up. One of the things I love about silicone is how easy it is to store too.
I will be using these over and over for many things. I can even use them when I am grilling to flip burgers using just my hand. I love it!

Gel Pens!
I am addicted to colored pencils and gel pens. I love to do adult coloring book and these watercolor pencils are a great addition to my collection! Adult coloring is a great way to relax and turn your mind off to the things stressing you out!
These pencils come with a really cool roll up case so you can roll and go. I can through these into my purse with a coloring book and have entertainment anytime and anywhere. The pencils are good pencils with rich colors. I am able to shade and accent with these. Being able to shade gives your pages so much depth so this is very important to me since I am an artist. I am very happy with my purchase!

Matana Protein Shake Maker
I just started drinking protein drinks because I need to get healthy. I NEED to. I wasn't having much luck finding a protein powder that I like because I could never get it mixed well enough. There was always sludge at the bottom of my cup and frankly, that grossed me out.
I ordered this hoping, fingers crossed, it would help with that issue. It absolutely has! This is a handy kitchen gadget that I am now using every day. Be sure to read the instructions and if you do this works really well. At first, I wasn't so sure, it didn't seem substantial enough to do the trick, but it does!!
I also use this when I am making iced tea. Sugar never dissolves for me. When I use this, it mixes it around until it dissolves. I can see my granddaughters making chocolate or strawberry milk with this too.

Icook Pro Watermelon Slicer
Nothing says summer more so than watermelon! I can eat this stuff non-stop all summer long and this slicer is just going to make that process even easier!
I love everything about watermelon except the sticky mess you get when you cut one. This kitchen gadget takes care of that problem! With this, all you have to do is slice this down the middle and then use this to cut nice uniform slices and then flip the cutter over to remove the slices. All of the juice stay in the bowl you created when you cut the watermelon in 2 halves.
This works great and makes watermelon even more fun to eat.

I am a self-named craft addict. I make all kinds of stuff including things that use fabric and tulle. A rotary cutter helps out with these so much!
I make a lot of tutus and tulle is a pain to cut into straight strips and I have to cut an LOT of strips to make one tutu. These replacement blades are so nice to have for that reason! I can carefully fold my tulle and then cut long strips of tulle. The rotary cutter blades are super sharp and cut without any jagged edges left behind. This makes the process much faster and smoother.
These blades fit my standard rotary cutter and are seem sharper than the original blade that came with my cutter. I am happy with my purchase!

I have aspirations of baking pies this fall. I have never done it before but I am moving to a place that I will have fruit trees so ...pie.
I ordered this to help motivate me to make pie crust in the fall but I have found I like to use it when making homemade pizza crust too. I love how this mat actually seems to stick to the countertop in my kitchen so it doesn't slide around at all when rolling out the dough for pizza. This is a very thin silicone and it has a lot of great info printed on it. The dough does not stick to this at all and it cleans up SO easily. It is dishwasher safe but I only needed to wipe this with a wet cloth and it was as good as new.
This only takes up very little space in my cabinet too which is nice when cabinet space is hard to find. Very happy with this purchase!

Strollos Hot Garlic Beef Jerky is delicious! I intentionally ordered the hot garlic flavor so that my jerky loving husband wouldn't eat it all. He loves jerky but he is a wimp when it comes to hot stuff lol
This jerky is very flavorful and so much better than pre-packaged jerky usually is. This was jerky but not so hard and stiff that it hurts your teeth to eat it. When I have eaten the prepackaged stuff in the past, it was really tough and tasted of preservatives. This tastes natural, not like a bunch of chemicals. The flavor is amazing on this, garlicky but not too garlicky and the heat, it sneaks up on you. You think oh this isn't hot at all and then boom, burning tongue. The heat didn't stop me from eating this, though. Th flavor made me keep eating it even when I knew my mouth was going to be hot for a while after eating.

I am moving into a new home and starting a diet at the same time. I have plans to plant vegetables and start eating more healthy. When I was given the opportunity to review this Cube planter system I jumped at the chance.
This is a very cool system. It is very thought out and the instructions are great! You use a box to keep your cubes, well....cubed while you fill them then remove the box after planting is complete. They maintain their shape that way. This includes things to help drain your water so it doesn't pool on the bottom, a cube of "dirt" that you slowly hydrate back to planting dirt, and fertilizer. There is enough of each item for 2 cubes. I plan to plant tomatoes in one and green peppers in the other. These will work perfectly on my small back deck on my new house!

This Westmark pizza cutter is a great little cutter! I have a large family so it seems like anytime someone needs a pizza cutter it is in the sink dirty. I decided to d one to our kitchen gadgets so we wouldn't go without one when one was dirty (because God forbid one of the young adult children I have could wash one for themselves).
I chose this Westmark cutter since I really like the quality of the Westmark Spiralizer I have. This pizza cutter doesn't disappoint! This is a very sharp pizza wheel that cuts right through both thick and thin crusts. The construction is very sturdy, not flimsy and cheap like others I have seen. The handle is plastic with silicone inserts so that your hands don't slip off the handle of this. This is a good quality heavy duty cutter that I believe will hold up to many years of use.

I LOVE THIS WESTMARK BRAND SPIRALIZER!!!!!!
I am starting a healthy eating lifestyle (sounds way better than a diet!)and I am incorporating more vegetables into my diet. Things get boring pretty fast when trying to use less fat and processed stuff in your diet. I am on the lookout for anything to spice it all up.
I have ordered a couple of other spiralizers that were, frankly, junk. They were flimsy plastic that broke so easily. I couldn't find one that was able to cut a sweet potato either. I had almost given up but decided to give this one a try. This one if far better than the others! This one is heavier plastic with sharper blades. This cuts through anything I have tried including sweet potatoes! This feels like it will last a good long while for me. Glad I took the chance on this one. This is also very easy to clean up too. I highly recommend this one to anyone!

Ozeri Ceramic Frying Pan Review--------
I have wanted to try a ceramic frying pan ever since I saw that late night infomercial on TV. I was excited when given the chance to review this!
When it arrived I was pleased with it before I even used it. When I opened the box the first thing that struck me was the bright lime finish. My favorite color! The pan was heavier than I expected (which is a good thing) it has a nice heft and it is well balanced. It is a nice depth too, not a shallow pan like some others of this size. The handle on this while being plastic is still a nice heavy weight, it doesn't feel cheap at all. I was excited to be able to cook with it!
I have used this now 2 times. Each time I have been pleased with it. The first thing I did was to follow the directions and season the pan with just a small amount of oil. My first run with this was over easy eggs. These cooked up beautifully and literally just slipped out of my pan. I was able to just wipe this out with a damp towel and it was good to go. The second round was hamburgers made with very lean meat. Again, nothing stuck to this pan at all. The burgers fried up and browned nicely. Quick easy wash and it was back to new again. I am very happy with this!

I have always wanted a hammock. My dad used to have one and I remember many days that I just lay in it and read. So relaxing! I wasn't sure what this hammock would be like when I got it. I knew it was a little different being made from material instead of rope like my dads. I didn't know what to expect.
I was pleasantly surprised when it arrived. It is made from material that is lightweight yet strong. I wasn't sure how big it would be or if it could be comfortable for an adult. This is plenty long for an adult and it is super comfortable. I actually fell asleep in it!
Even though this is lightweight it feels like it will last a long time. IT seams are stitched very tightly and well, material is easy to clean (spilled a drink while lying on it), just use a damp cloth and it comes right off. I ordered the hunter green so it blends in with nature and doesn't stick out like a sore thumb. This is a true deep green and looks great in my yard!
