Pure Alaskan Salmon Oil

Boy does this stuff smell terrible - to me. But my dogs absolutely love it. Salmon oil is great for pets, it helps protect their joints, brain and is good for their skin and fur. It has more benefits as well. I place the appropriate number of pumps on my pooches food, stir, and serve. They gobble it up. This particular brand has a little more Omega 6 than I care for but its still not a horrible amount.

ORKSUN Automatic Dusk-to-Dawn nightlight

I like having these when my grandchildren spend the night. They are 2 and 4 and night time trips to the bathroom are much easier for them if they can already see. Plus the fact that these use SO little energy, they're not only economical but environmentally friendly as well!

*I received this product heavily discounted and even though I did, that doesn't not persuade me to write a good review, I form my own opinions based on the product itself, and nothing else.

Acrylic Magnetic Push Pins

I absolutely love these little things! When they came I thought for sure there was NO way they were going to be very strong, but I was pleasantly surprised that they hold better than most of the magnets I already had! I like that they are compact and yet very easy to take off. No trying to get your fingernail under the magnet if it's too strong and no having things fall off your fridge because they're too heavy for the magnet. I highly recommend these!

Chef Remi Grill Mat

I personally really like these grill mats. The first time we were finally able to get out grill out of the shed after the 3 feet of snow melted we decided to cook venison - it's always a good time for venison. Anyway we used one of the mats for the meat and the other for the asparagus (which my husband forgot to take photos of). I think the use of the mats for meat is a preferential thing, some people like the flavour that comes from not scraping all the gunk off of the grill and others don't. What we really like about them was the ability to cook our veggies on the grill without worrying about them falling through the grates and losing them, excellent! These will definitely be our go to thing for cooking veggies or anything else that has a tendency to fall through. You still get that smoked flavour, love it!

As a bonus these clean up incredibly easy, just wet and wipe. I had no issues with food sticking and needing to be scraped off. Piece of cake.

Hyaluronic Acid Brightening Serum(Vegan)

I love hyaluronic acid, and add in the fact that this is organic and vegan, you just can't go wrong. The only reason I rate this 4 stars instead of 5 is I'm not fond of droppers, I prefer a pump style dispenser, but don't let that detract from how nice of a product this is.  Since I've begun using hyaluronic acid, my pores have shrunk and my skin feels firmer than before, a definite plus! Not to mention it smells wonderful!

Brushed Stainless Steel Salt and Pepper Grinder Set

When I opened these up I was very surprised at what nice quality they are. Big points for that. I put in black Hawaiian salt and regional pepper and set out to grinding them to see how they turned out. Both the fine and course grind worked better than expected, so well that am thinking about buying a second set for a Christmas gift.

Family Glue 100 Dice Party Pack w/ FREE Dice Bag

Tons of dice! When these came my husband asked if I was starting a casino - but in reality we've lost  many dice to our games and this works out great since it comes in a nice bag to store them in. Instead of them falling out of dilapidated boxes they stay stored nicely. Now if I could find a way to store board games better!

Beanie Knit Cap

I really like this hat and I generally don't care for wool because it's so itchy, but this is the perfect blend of wool and acrylic so its nice and soft. It stays on my head and doesn't seem to make my hair too static-y, something I loathe!
My only issue is I have a smaller head and it fits kind of large, but other than that its wonderful.
The white colour isn't a bright white but more of a slightly off white, but not tan.

Premium Wild Alaskan Salmon Oil for Dogs and Cats

Oh man does this stuff smell awful to me, but my dogs lap this stuff up like there's no tomorrow! The best thing about this bottle is it comes with optional pump. That makes it so much easier than measure it out and much less likely to make a mess.
I'll save my schpeel about the benefits of this type of thing because so many other reviewers have touched on it. While it does contain Omega - 6, its content is pretty low, which is good. Most humans don't need an Omega-6 supplement, let alone dogs. But the fact that my dogs lap this up makes it well worth it!

Crazy cat lady cat hammock

Turns out I don't have the right kind of chairs for this work on, so I gave it to my daughter who has the perfect spot for it. Her cat just recently had to have her left front leg amputated. She hasn't had too much trouble getting onto things, but this sits low enough to the ground she doesn't have to give much effort to get into it. It has now become her napping place.
My reason for 4 stars is it would be nice to have an alternate type of strap so that it can be used on other types of chairs.

NOVICA Cultured Freshwater Pearl Sterling Silver Dangle Earrings

A beautiful set of Pearl and sterling silver dangle earrings. They can be worn casual or dressy. Thank you Novica for offering not only such a beautiful piece but the opportunity to have such a beautiful hand crafted piece of jewellery. My mother's birthday is in June and I know she will absolutely love these. These earrings are very good quality and just stunning to look at.
If you haven't heard of this company I implore you to research them and how they help small village craftsmen around the world, this is one company to look up to. Plus the pieces they sell on behalf of these people are just as wonderful as this incredible set of earrings!

I did receive this product at a reduced price (not free) so that I could evaluate this gem of an item!

NOVICA Macrame Shamballa Bracelet with Amethyst

Another beautiful piece from Novica. I absolutely love this company and what they are doing for people around the world! That in itself is reason enough for me to love the company, and then throw in beautiful hand crafted pieces of jewellery and art work and there's just no reason not to love them!

This piece in particular is just lovely. It's a more casual piece and that's just fine. At first I couldn't figure out how to adjust it but after a minute it has an adjustable slide that you use to enlarge it and then pull it back to fit your wrist. It's not metal but made of nylon so I make sure not to wear it in the shower (maybe you could but I'm not wiling to chance it). I have gotten several compliments on this bracelet since I've been wearing it and always use that as an opportunity to talk about Novica. If you opt for this piece you will not be disappointed by it!

The Friendly Barista's reusable K-Cup filter

I adore reusable filters for the Keurig. I wish more people would use them. It makes having a Keurig more sustainable, environmentally safe and economically sound. You can have your bagged coffee and eat it too! I love the dolphin design on the single cup filter, they only down side is if you grind your own coffee and grind it very fine or if you bagged coffee is ground very fine it may back up on you. Perhaps adding another dolphin would help this. We typically grind our own coffee so we make sure not to grind it too fine and it works perfectly! I highly recommend these to anyone with a Keurig!
I'd also like to point out this works great for loose leaf tea as well!

Stability ball

I got this ball to mainly use at my desk to work on my poor posture and so far its caused pain, which is to be expected since the muscles in my back aren't as strong as they should be. So basically, its working. The ball itself is very nice, good quality, and is working out great. However it took me over 10 minutes to inflate it due to the fact that the pump that was included gave out (came apart) halfway through the inflation process, so I had to go find another manual pump and by that time a lot of the air had already been lost. Other than that this ball is great.

Waterless dog shampoo

Surfectants basically get inbetween your dogs skin and the oil and dirt to make it easier to remove. While this bottle says its surfectant is derived from coconut oil I'm curious what the exact INCI names of the chemicals used in this are.

That being said, I think this has a pleasant smell, washed off my hands with soap and seemed to do a pretty good job. I always give my dogs a good brushing once this type of shampoo has dried to help in removing the dirt and oils.
