Type C cable - coming to a device near you

Type C cables are going to be the new standard for the next generation of devices, so if you're looking to upgrade look no further than this lovely item. I love that the cord is braided so you are less likely to get a short and it extends the lifetime of the cable. Appears to charge well. This is the type of cords I will be investing in from here on out.

Ultrasonic pest repeller

I'm afraid I can't say if this works for rodents as I cannot leave it plugged in. I have pretty sensitive hearing and the minute I plugged this in it bothered my ears. I've had it unplugged for about 10 minutes and my ears are still ringing. I got this because I have a lot of plants and have the little gnats that breed in the soil and was hoping this would eliminate them. After I plugged it in the noise certainly caused a stir, many of them started flying around. I unplugged the unit and waited for them to settle back down and plugged it in again and got the same reaction. So it likely does work on them, I will just have to wait until I'm out of the house to use it and will update my review at that point.

Little cheeky bandana bibs

I have an 18 month old granddaughter who is a very messy eater so when I got the opportunity to test these out, I jumped on them. I rated these 4 stars for 2 reasons; First after one wash I feel they shrunk considerably. Shrinking is expected with cotton but I felt this was a little more than usual. Second after one wash I don't feel it held its shape well and am afraid after multiple washings this will only continue. Also they don't fit well enough to be used as a bib during meal time, my granddaughter gets food everywhere and I prefer the large ones that slip over her head. However, these are great for other times when she's walking around and snacking on fruit or has her drink as she is teething and drools incessantly. I would highly recommend them for that purpose, since they aren't larger they don't inhibit her playing. Some people complained about the designs but I think they're fine for a boy or girl, I mean really they are meant to get dirty and help keep your baby clean, not wear to a fashion show. My photos are after first use (prior to washing) and after the first wash. My granddaughter ate ravioli, I pretreated it with Shout Free, and washed with Whole Foods 365 laundry pods. *I received this product free or at a discount in exchange for my honest, unbiased opinion, no one likes things that suck. #LCBandanas http://tinyurl.com/LC-BanBibs

Snappy Swagger drool bibs

I have an 18 month old granddaughter who is a very messy eater so when I got the opportunity to test these out, I jumped on them. One thing to keep in mind is the back IS fleece, even though it looks and feels like flannel, probably because that layer is so thin. Flannel is made from organic material like cotton, where fleece is made from synthetic material, such a polyester. The process of making the two is different as well, but I digress, I just want to point out that the back side is made from polyester in case someone has an aversion to the material. I rated this 4 stars for one main reason, after one wash it faded a LOT so if you're aiming to get these to show off, be careful how you wash them. I wash and rinse typically in cold unless I have more heavily soiled clothes. Perhaps my dryer was too hot, I'm not sure. Other than the fading, they are super soft and stayed that way, they wash well and keep their shape, although there was a tad bit of shrinkage, it was minimal and is to be expected with cotton. Also they don't fit well enough to be used as a bib during meal time, my granddaughter gets food everywhere and I prefer the large ones that slip over her head. However, these are great for other times when she's walking around and snacking on fruit or has her drink as she is teething and drools incessantly. I would highly recommend them for that purpose, since they aren't larger they don't inhibit her playing. My photos are after first use (prior to washing) and after the first wash.

New bath toys and how to store them!

I've been trying to decide on how many stars to give this item and I settled on 4. Here's why: The toys are great, you get 5 small toys that aren't exactly high quality, as the rubber material is thin. Also they toys have squeakers and squirt water which always has a higher attraction for harbouring bacteria and developing mold. That being said the fact that they are thinner material makes them easier to squeeze all the water out when you're done with the bath. As a rule, once a week I take the bath toys and soak them in hot water and vinegar to kill bacteria. The net is by far the best part of this package, I have been using a small basketball bath hoop to keep the toys in and it didn't fit all of them, this however is huge and fits ALL THE THINGS! The suction cups hold it very well and helps everything to dry. The loofahs are slightly sub average, but I'm using it on an 18 month old and a 4 year old, they aren't really concerned with quality and it cleans them just the same. The additional suction cups for the loofahs are AWESOME, it comes with 2 and I confiscated one for myself in my bathroom since the suction holds so well (just get it wet first). My reason for not really being sure how many stars to give it is the price, I think 9.99 would be a better value, but it does come with 2 e-books so that, I suppose, adds to the value. So I'm giving it 4 stars because I personally don't need the ebooks and I would prefer a lower price but I don't want that to stop others from purchasing this if they have a different opinion on the value, its certainly a great item. *I received this item at a discount or free in exchange for my honest, unbiased opinion, no one likes things that suck. #bathtoyorganizer http://www.amazon.com/dp/B015785ZJU

Pretty good facial serum




I'm very picky about my serums and moisturizers. I'm currently giving this 5 stars because after 2 weeks I can see a difference in the texture of my skin, it appears firmer than before I started using this. I've never used anything with Hyaluronic Acid in it before but I did some research and it is used on burns and a few other things in the medical field, so I thought I would give this a try. So far I am very please. I took before pictures of my face, but I am going to use this for a few more weeks before I take after photos.
My skin gets incredibly dry in the winter and after using this my skin does feel tighter which happens whenever I use something that is a gel type.

HOLY CRAP

Holy crap. When this came I wondered how it would taste, so I tasted it, I do that with some items (after checking the ingredients). It didn't taste like much, I caught a hint of the flaxseed but other than that it doesn't taste like much. I sprinkled it on my pooches food and wow, they love it so much they lick the powder off the top before eating their food!
With organic ingredients that are good for you fur friends health I will definitely purchase again. I have 3 pups (23lb, 40lb, and 93lb) and this will last me a few months, so a good value IMO.

Pleasantly surprised with this product!

Pleasantly surprised! I ordered this with my granddaughter in mind as she is getting older and we like to try to keep her active while she's over. It's the perfect size for little ones, not so much teenagers, they would need a full size net if they are serious players. But this is going to work out perfect for us. It folds into a slim bag (the bag isn't the highest quality but really its purpose is to hold the net and keep it from getting dirty, etc). The net, once you flip/fold it, snaps together so it stays that way, no holding it in place while trying to get it in the bag before it pops back open.
