A SALTED ATMOSPHERE!

Of course, I licked the lamp when I got it. I had to see if it was really salt and it's very salty.

It is made of Himalayan salt and very heavy. I wouldn't want to drop it on my toe. 

Salt lamps are said to be a natural humidifier and good for your lungs. I like the soft amber glow that is adjustable by the inline dimmer switch on the cord.  You can have it as soft or bright as you desire.

The salt sits on a natural wood base that is impervious to termites and you can use the light indoors or out of doors. You must insert the enclosed light bulb into the socket at the end of the electric cord, into the lamp. The bulb produces the soft light through the pink salt and emits enough heat to activate the cleansing properties of the salt minerals.

If you leave your lamp on 24/7, you need to periodically clean it with a soft cloth to remove any particles that have been attracted to the salt. 

I don't know if they really work or not but they are very nice to look at and decorate the room with a lovely glow in the evening.

GOLDEN EYED BEAUTY!

This certainly was the first experience that I have ever had with an eye mask.  I felt like a super hero wanna be!  Doesn't this look attractive? My husband had a good laugh as I was trying to beautify my eyes.

This package contains six wraps that are each enclosed in sealed foil.

As I peeled away the foil, I saw two golden eye masks. They were very slippery, kind of like eggs and wet, like eggs, with the essential fluids to reduce bags, darkness and puffiness around the eyes.

Getting them seated around my eyes was difficult for this novice but I was able to persevere and they stayed put. The cold soothing mask stayed on for 30 minutes while I tried to sit still at my computer.

It probably would have been better if I just relaxed for 30 minutes with my eyes closed for each time I read something on the screen, my eyes would touch the mask and fell like I was going to get it under my eyelid.  But, it didn't.

My before picture shows the puffiness under and over my eyes. In the other pics you can see how close the mask is to my eyelids. I look like a golden masked woman. No wonder my husband was laughing.

In the bottom right picture you'll see the finished product after I removed the mask.

I think the treatment worked well. I had done this in the late evening and by morning my puffiness was back.

I'll be using this product two times a week and see if it works longer term.

FEEL LIKE A QUEEN!

I love sheets. Climbing into a freshly made bed with soft smooth bedding is a sure way to give me peace at bedtime. I have always liked percale or high thread count sheets and I avoid flannel and the stretchy jersey like the plague.

This set is microfiber but feels more like percale. The sheets have a small design in the fabric.

My bed is dressed with six pillows, (two sleeping pillows and four decorative) so I was surprised that I didn't need to purchase an extra set of pillowcases to compliment my sheets. The other two pillows get my shams that match the headboard.

The top sheet is hemmed and the fitted bottom elastic is free-flowing and sewn in to the hem of the sheet for easy fit on my pillow top mattress.. I washed this set before I adding it to my bed and they came out wrinkle-free.

AND DARKNESS MUST FLEE!

Now this is the perfect accessory for my husband's 9mm rifle. The flashlight needed to be attached to the gun by a rail system and the rifle had the perfect one under the barrel. It is out of the sight line and doesn't hinder gun firing or the red laser dot which is just above the light.

Instead of a pressure switch, which could turn on accidently or turn off when you don't want it off, there is a slide switch. If you want to remove the entire light, it has a quick release feature.

The led light is bright and clear for several hundred feet at night. There is a strobe option that disorients a threat. A run time of 45 minutes on a single battery (included) should be ample for most situations.

OFF TO THE BEACH!

When I go to the beach I will always wear a cover up. I don't care to have people gawking at my saggy arms and legs at the age of 63. After arriving at the beach, it's okay to expose the bathing suit and my skin to the warmth of the sun and splash in the ocean.

This white cover up is adjustable enough to fit most sized bodies. The drawstring waistline is very adjustable and the Dolman sleeves allow for a lot of arm movement. On my short body the cover is quite long enough to hide those flabby thighs. There are two patch pockets on the front to hold my sunglasses, tanning oil and other beach items.

As a bonus, there is an anklet of silver and turquoise blue stones. It's very attractive and meant to be worn without shoes or with flip flops. Otherwise, it would hang inside your shoe and make for an uncomfortable stroll.

The cotton drawstring bag that comes with the set can be used as a backpack for carrying toiletries to the beach or for just about anything, i.e. shopping and such.

FOOD AND DROOL CONTAINMENT!

This is a very cute set of bibs and drool cloths for the newborn baby. The colors are generic but I think they lean more to a boy than a girl. The bibs have an embroidered hatched chick on the front, hence their product name, Simply Hatched.

Bamboo is being used in all kinds of products and especially clothing.  It is antimicrobial and antibacterial. These are made from hypoallergenic bamboo and the texture is very soft even before washing. They retain their shape which is important for items that babies will use a lot and will be in the laundry many times. They are very absorbent and breathable so that baby is cool in the summer and warm in the winter.

 There are three bibs and three burp or drool cloths with matching color sets.  The zippered case that they are packed in, will come in handy for storage for pacifiers, toys and other things mom needs.

YOU WANT THESE RINGS TO BREAK!

If you are active in any kind of sport and married, chances are you take off your wedding rings or any other ring that you like to wear.  These silicone rings are made to replace your good jewelry so that you don't get that 'naked' feeling. The rings are made to break if there is too much stress on them. I remember my dad going to the hospital at Thanksgiving time because he caught his wedding band while getting down from machinery and was hanging by his ring. He ended up with stitches and no more wedding band. This would have prevented his injury.

 I ordered size 5 and it was true sizing for my finger. There are four different colors and they look kind of trendy to just wear for fun. 

It came with two handy carabiner clips and a mesh storage bag that you can use to secure your bag to your belt loop or inside a gym bag.

BOXED ESSENTIALS!

I have bottles and bottles of essential oils but they are stored in a cabinet. It's like looking through a maze to find the exact one that I need.

This is a very nice unfinished wooden storage box with a clear plastic insert in the lid. I can paint it or just add a wax finish to preserve the exterior and make it a decorative accent. There is a small latch on the front of the hinged lid.

I can't quite fill it with my bottle assortment because I have some that are too large to fit. The ideal bottle size is 15 ml or smaller. The inside bottom of the box is felt lined. The insert is adjustable, if needed.

GET BANDED!

This is a metal mesh one-piece watch band for the 42mm Apple iWatch. It attaches to the iWatch as well as the original bands by sliding it into the ends of the watch. The silver band then is secure and adjusts to the size of your wrist by just looping it over and letting the magnet adhere to the band.

 I thought that the metal mesh would dig into the skin or even pinch me as the mesh might grab the hair on the forearm but that didn't happen. Another concern was that the metal may be sharp enough to cut my arm as I would be working but that hasn't occurred, either. It is super comfortable.

The wrist closure is stainless steel and may scratch with wear and tear, as do all watches and metals. The strong magnetic clasp ensures that the watch will stay on while playing sports or other physical activity.

GREEN SILICONE UTENSILS

I was surprised when I received these utensils. Not that they were green, because that's a favorite color of mine, but because of the size of the utensils. They are full sized. The bowls of the spoons will serve up an ample serving of food.

They are silicone on both ends of the stainless steel shafts. Due to the stainless, I was also surprised at the heft of the utensils. They will not break or bend without a struggle. The spoons can be hung up by the heart-shaped hole in the handles but because of my small open kitchen, it's handier to have them in the crock by my stove.

You would think that the silicone would burn or stick to a pan but they glide easily under the food in a frying pan and do not get hot from the heat of the stove. They don't melt or discolor, for the color is completely through the silicone.

These would make a great shower gift or just updating worn out and ugly utensils that you've had for years.

#Blogging Basics: Editing is Evil But Necessary in Blogging

Ever read a Facebook post and wonder if the writer ever finished school? Did you see a sign posted that had a great saying but when you read the words they used the wrong there, their or they're?

Those misspelled words turn me right off from the message the post was trying to get out. 

I start thinking that I would love to re-post the message but do I want to take the time and effort to revise the entire post?

Here's some tips that pertain, not only to blogging, but everything we write. 

It's good to sound and write intelligently so that people take you seriously. I think that today's schooling is sorely lacking in this area.

AVTronics 4 in 1 Handheld Microphone System Band B

This unit is perfect for our three piece band. We had no problem hooking it into our existing sound system. The wireless mics enable us to have less cords running under our feet where we stand and we can even walk around out into the crowd.  The microphones did not distort or sound different than the Fender mics that came with our Fender amplifier. The unit and microphones are easy to store in our padded cases. The only thing we had to change are the clips on our mic booms because these mics have a thicker base and won't fit into a standard holder. We ordered short jumper cords to reduce the amount of congestion behind the unit. Time will tell but at our first gig we were very happy with the unit and the crowd was pleased with our performance.

WAX ON, WAX OFF!

Summer is here and so is the humidity. My hair is long, thick and not straight. I have a natural wave and when the humidity soars my hair is a halo of short ends sticking up from the roots. 

This product, called Aqua Hair Wax claims to help with the frizzies. It can be applied to damp or dry hair and then style as usual.  I used it on my damp hair and it helped with the frizzies. In fact, it keep it more smooth for several days.

It is water based so that it rinses off easily when you shampoo. The texture is a hard gel wax and doesn't leave your hair sticky or clumping. It has a very pleasant fruity scent.

The Lady in Red!

I immediately liked this shirt when I saw the details in the design.  The sleeves button up to 3/4, the buttoned pleat at the waist in the back and the buttoned vee-neckline.  The fabric is a sheer chiffon with a privacy panel in the front. I would still wear a cami underneath because I don't like it to be that see-through.  It pressed very well after arriving in a package. I chose the dark red color but it shows lighter in two of the pictures. The chiffon fabric is delicate and should be hand-washed.
