First Aid Survival Kit

I think it's so important to have an emergency kit for your vehicle, hunting, camping, traveling, road trips and even the workplace. When you have kids it's a great idea to have first aid supplies because you never know what you will need. The bag the supplies come in has two handles and is easy to carry and also easy to pack and take with you on trips. It has 2 zippers so you can zip and unzip it easily whether your right or left handed. Once you open it you have velcro pouches on each side with tons of supplies. You could even add extra bandages or other things to your case. I love that you can refill it after you've used the supplies. I was surprised to find a compass in the bag which is great if you ever get lost. Being prepared is something many people don't think about and this great pack is designed by people with emergency services backgrounds which makes me feel good about my purchase. It's lightweight, easy to carry, fits most anywhere and is very organized. I love how a discount is offered if you buy 3 or more because having them in multiple places is a great idea. My sister was so impressed with this that she wanted one for herself. Overall I love this product and I am so happy I have it.

Funny Wine Glass Gift 2

Here is the other wine glass from Got Me Tipsy that says "My Therapy" and makes a great gift and it's funny too. It will get lots of compliments and makes a great decorative piece too. I like putting chocolates in it but since it's a wine glass you can use it for wine or any other liquids. I buy sparkling cider and drink out of it and soda and other juices as well. It comes in a great box for gifting with lots of bubble wrap so you know that it will arrive safe and sound. It's a great size at 13 oz. which is not too big or too small and has a great sturdy base and stem. It's got a cute saying on it and is dishwasher safe. It's not a cheap glass but a good quality one that's guaranteed to last and easy to wash. I love that the writing doesn't come off and that it's easy to hold and use. It's made in the USA which is always a plus because you know it will be a great product. I do wish it was a 2 glass set instead of just 1 because of the price but it's still a great glass. Overall I am glad I have it and it's a nice glass. I received this free or discounted in exchange for an honest and unbiased review and all opinions are my own. #gotitfree #GotMeTipsy Be sure to check out their other products as well because they have many great ones and here is the link for this one http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00WVSCG6K
  

Funny Wine Glass Gift 1

If you are a wine drinker you will appreciate this glass that is funny, charming and makes a great gift. It comes in a great box that's perfect for gifting someone. It's packaged safely in lots of bubble wrap so when it arrives you don't have to worry about it being broken or scratched. It's great for anyone who loves wine or you could drink any kinds of fluids from it. I like putting Orange Juice or Mt. Dew in it just to have a fancy glass to drink from. I also like putting chocolates in it and letting it sit out as a decoration. It's a nice size at 13 oz. which is not too big but not too small. The base and stem are sturdy and it is dishwasher safe. I love that it's made in the USA and guaranteed to last a long time. It doesn't seem cheap and is a good quality glass unlike some other ones that make you feel like they could break at any time. It's easy to hold and drink from and also easy to wash and the writing doesn't come off at least it hasn't yet. As I have only had it for awhile I can't be sure if the writing will stay forever but it seems like it would last a long time. I do wish it came as a set because of the price since I am on a budget and try not to overspend. Overall it's a great quality product and I am happy with this glass. I received this free or discounted in exchange for an honest and unbiased review and all opinions are my own. #gotitfree #GotMeTipsy Be sure to check out other great products from Got Me Tipsy too and here is the link for this wine glass. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00RPVG6NW

MyHomie Bath Mat Review

If your anything like me (blonde & clumsy) then having a bath mat in your tub is a must. They come in so many sizes, shapes and styles that it can be hard to choose just one. They don't usually last forever so it doesn't hurt to have an extra one around just in case. I love getting things for free or heavily discounted in exchange for a review and this is no exception. This Premium Bath Mat is anti slip with suction cups at the bottom so you can secure it to your tub. It is anti-bacterial so it stays clean and also is mold and mildew resistant. The design and color is great with realistic looking pebbles. I can't imagine standing on real pebbles barefoot but this has a nice tranquility to it. It feels great on your feet while you are standing on the mat and sort of feels like your getting a massage. It comes in simple plastic packaging but the smell was really bad when I first opened it and stayed that way for a little while. It did get much better after washing/rinsing it off a few times though.

It's eco-friendly and made from high quality PVC material which is nice. This product says it has a wear resistant coating but only time will tell if that's actually true and since I haven't had it long I will have to wait and see on that. It's great for kids, older people and pregnant women especially because there balance isn't always the best but it's very useful for everyone. It is a good size of 27 inches long and 15 inches wide. I love the look and feel of it and was in need of a new bath mat so I am happy with my purchase and would recommend it to others. There is a promotion right now that lets you buy 2 get 1 free if you use promo code oMyHomie but I am not sure how long this will last. There is also a dolphin one from the same seller that's pretty cute so you don't have to get 3 of the same ones. I did receive this free or discounted in exchange for an honest and unbiased review. #oMyHomieHugeDiscount #gotitdiscounted Check it out here http://www.amazon.com/Anti-Bacterial-Slip-Resistant-Bath-Mat/dp/B018SJAU7W/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1452349379&sr=8-1&keywords=myhomie

Set of 5 Serving Bowls, Green!

I recently got to try these bowls heavily discounted and this 5 pack of X-Chef serving bowls are a great green color with an oval shaped. They add some color to your kitchen and will go with most kitchen schemes. They are great for mixing, serving, storing and the different sizes come in handy depending on your needs. The smallest is 35.2 fl. oz., then 66.9 fl. oz., 112.6 fl. oz., 161.9 fl. oz., and the largest holds 228.8 fl. oz. These bowls are lightweight and easy to clean but are NOT dishwasher or microwave safe. The lids go on securely and keep food fresher longer. They all fit inside the largest bowl like nesting dolls so they take up only a small amount of space which is great if you don't have a lot of kitchen space and they can be used for putting anything in. They are backed by a 1 year hassle free guarantee and the company will replace them or give you a refund. Overall they are a great product and I would recommend them to others.

Why Smart Cities, Businesses and Homes Will Transform Your Life Article

I was tasked with reviewing a blog written by Daniel Burrus Tech Futurist & Innovation Expert. I have done this twice a week for the last 4 weeks and find them interesting every time I read them. This one is about smart cities, businesses and homes and how they practically here. It used to be you couldn't do anything unless you were at home or at work but now you can pretty much do anything anywhere you have an internet connection which let's face it is pretty much everywhere except maybe the middle of the ocean. I once watched this movie on the Disney Chanel about this Smart House and how easy it made everything for people. Think about how great it would be to control everything from your smart phone or tablet. With the click of a button or maybe a few you can change the temperature, lock and unlock door's in your house and many other things. I wonder if this will make people lazier however because being able to control everything from a device means you don't have to get up and do it yourself. Personally I love the idea of a Smart House, Smart Office and a Smart Building because it shows how far we have come from the cave man days where we began. People are enamored by the amazing technology and if you don't have it or keep up with it you may find yourself lost. I'd love it if you took a few minutes and check out this article "Why Smart Cities, Businesses and Homes Will Transform Your Life" by Daniel Burrus #BurrusBlog https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/why-smart-cities-businesses-homes-transform-your-life-daniel-burrus?trk=mp-reader-card and feel free to leave comments on your thoughts about where the future is heading.

Romantic Paris Skyline Necklace

Here is a great necklace that will remind you of Paris if you've been there or of your dream to visit if your like me and haven't. This Paris Skyline Necklace comes in 3 great colors of Rose Gold, Gold & Silver. It's great for everyday wear or special occasions. At 17 inches in length it fits well and the pendant is 1.2 inches which is also a nice size. It would make a great gift or just a nice present for yourself. It's made of stainless steel and is a minimalist type style. It's great for women or girls but I wouldn't think it's something a man would like to wear. I have always wanted to visit paris and having this necklace is a nice reminder of the dream. It's a great necklace and my daughter loves it as much as I do. I am happy with my purchase and would recommend it to others. I chose the silver because I am partial to that color but the rose gold or gold would look great too.

Super Bowl Notebook: Has TV Become 'The Second Screen'? Article

So I read this great article about TV watching and all the new ways we would rather watch things. With all the different screen options we don't always choose to watch stuff on TV and instead of talking about it the next day we live tweet and Facebook about the show while we are watching it. I don't even have television service because I can watch everything I want on my computer the day after it airs. I literally watch every show the CW has and watch them all online. Everything I watch on one site or another but when I was a kid/teen I watched TV all the time in prime time and had to be in front of the TV at a specific time. I love the freedom of watching what I want where I want it and who knows maybe we won't even have televisions in the future because people would rather use other services like Netflix and Amazon Instant Video and there are always free sites where you can watch shows too. Check out this great article on #BurrusBlog here https://www.linkedin.com/today/influencer/48342529-Daniel-Burrus and then tell me your thoughts and opinions about how you watch shows.

Polly Plastics Silicone Molding Putty Review

I've always like the idea of being able to create molds and when I saw this product and how easy it was to use I wanted to try it. You get two containers of molding putty, A which is white and B which is Blue. Since you mix equal parts of each one together you shouldn't run out of one before the other which is great. It makes great molds that you can re-use many times by just forming the putty around whatever it is you want to replicate. This product is great for making soap molds and candle molds. With this you are able to create your own soaps and candles which are to your liking and you can keep the molds after you have made your product. I have not tried this for antique furniture repair but anything you can fix or repair instead of replacing is a great way to save money in my opinion. There are many other types of castings you can make including plastics, waxes, clays and you could even make your own jewelry or repair a piece you have. It's a great durable product made in the USA, is fast curing, non-toxic and odor free. It needs to kept away from children for safety and shouldn't be used for anything that would have food contact. The money back guarantee offered is great in case your not totally satisfied with the product. Overall I think it's a great idea and it's letting me try my hand at making my own soap, candles and jewelry so I'm happy with it. I did receive this free or discounted in exchange for an honest review but all thoughts and opinions are my own. #PollyPlastics http://www.amazon.com/Polly-Plastics-Silicone-Molding-Putty/dp/B018B4A6X2/ref=sr_1_16_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1452816081&sr=8-16&keywords=silicone+mold+putty

Detangling Brush By Miss Landson

If your kids are anything like mine they hate having their hair brushed because of knots and tangles. This Detangling Brush helps with that because it's made to separate the hair sideways instead of down so its not pulling the hair out and hurting your head. The bristles feel very nice and don't make your head hurt but instead they increase circulation which could actually help increase hair growth. With regular brushes I would have a piles of hair when I was done that I basically ripped out of my daughters hair and between her crying and refusing to let me brush her hair it was a miserable experience for both of us.

I love that you can use this brush on any type of hair and it helps make your hair look shiny and smooth too. I really like that you can use it wet or dry and also how it minimizes split ends and breakage for better looking and healthier hair. I experience a lot of breakage and split ends and if I can do something to help it I try it. The pink color is nice and it's easy for me and my daughter to use. I love that she actually lets me brush her hair now and that we can get it done without all the fighting, crying and yelling. It would be nice to see this in different color options. Overall I am satisfied with my purchase and they also offer a money back guarantee in case you don't. I did receive this product for free or discounted in exchange for an honest and unbiased review. #MissLandson Check out this great product here http://www.amazon.com/dp/B0184NFZJK

Crowdsourcing Your Innovation Article

I read this great article about crowdsourcing today and found it pretty interesting. NASA actually invited people from freelancer.com to help them solve some of their more complex problems. Inviting people to help and share their ideas makes them feel good and also like they are helping the greater good. Apparently there were over 3,300 entries wanting to work with NASA. I think it's a great idea because sometimes after you've spent so much time working on a problem you can't come up with something new. Letting other people take a look at a problem with "fresh eyes" can help tremendously. Take an old case file at the police station and give it to someone who hasn't been over it yet and get there take on it because you never know what they may come up with. I think it's nice when people can admit they don't know everything and asking others for help is better for everyone. People care more about something if they have input and if you can't figure out the problem there's no harm in letting someone else take a chance. I agree with compensation but honestly I totally agree that people would love the bragging rights of saying "Hey I got to help NASA with a project". Take a look at this article and how Daniel Burrus predicted that crowdsourcing would be a thing 16 years ago. #BurrusBlog https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/crowdsourcing-your-innovation-daniel-burrus?trk=mp-reader-card

Connected Objects Will Become Your New Problem Article

So I was reading this article called "Connected Objects Will Become Your New Problem" and it made me stop and think about how many devices in my house alone are connected to the internet and all the devices that could be connected to the internet. Between the televisions, game systems, cell phones, laptops, tablets, my kids both have things that connect to the internet too. That's a lot of personal and private information that could be leaked for everyone to see. Anything that connects to the internet needs some type of security so that you stay safe. We should all think more about our internet connected devices and take a few minutes to check out this great article here https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/connected-objects-become-your-new-problem-daniel-burrus?trk=mp-reader-card #BurrusBlog

Natural Eco Friendly Body Scrub Gloves Review

I was chosen to review these through Tomoson a great site that lets you try products for free or discounted in exchange for a review. I found these Natural Eco Friendly Body Scrub Gloves and they are the only ones I have seen that offer a pack like this. Not only does it include the gloves but you get a printed in-depth guide about the gloves and in multiple languages. You also get a free Thermalabs Finger Exfoliator. The green and white glove is made of Natural Bamboo Fiber and Loofah Mitt Fiber and is a great exfoliating glove that soft at the same time and great for dry skin and works on all skin types. The brown glove is a Natural Jute Mitt which is made of softer and silkier material so its great for sensitive skin because you can avoid the irritation of too much scrubbing. The brown one is my favorite because it's great for my skin when it's feeling more sensitive but gives me a great clean feeling. The tan and white glove is a rougher, sturdier exfoliating glove that's very good at removing dead skin cells for normal skin types. The tan and white one is great for a great weekly cleaning of all that excess dead skin and really giving you a great exfoliation.

I love that you get the all three of these great gloves for a totally great clean and also that they can be used wet or dry. These gloves are great for exfoliating and gibing me soft silky skin that makes me feel good and also look good. I can't say I have compared the guarantees on other gloves but offering a 1 full year guarantee for these gloves sounds awesome! There are so many benefits to these gloves some I already mentioned but they also unclog pores, stimulate blood circulation, and reduce the growth of body hair which as a woman I definitely appreciate. Overall I am satisfied with these gloves and am so glad I now have them. With these I feel like I can have my own in house spa day every weekend and being able to get a great clean and also relax is important for your overall health.
