Reusable Metal Drinking Straws for tumblers like Yeti

(I did get this at a discount, but all opinions are my own. I say it like it is and don't BS. I may receive a small commission if you buy something through my link.)

I have several of the double wall mugs that keep drinks cold and needed some "permanent" straws instead of taking extra straws from my favorite restaurant when my old ones got gross.  I love the fact that these come with 2 straw cleaners to get out any type of "gross" stuff.  These are also easy to toss in the dishwasher after cleaning with the straw cleaner for an "extra" clean.

Summer Time = Relax Time in a Hammock

(I did get this at a discount, but all opinions are my own. I say it like it is and don't BS. I may receive a small commission if you buy something through my link.)


I'm a hammock snob.  Yes, I admit it.  I bought one and it was a single and I loved it, but my daughter and I always wanted to use it on nice days.  So I bought a double one.  Let's say that my family LOVES the color of this one and it is so comfortable with two people in it.  You can also do face / feet combo, but my adult kids did side / side.  Make sure that the hammock is "tight or stretched" as when you get in it, it will "sink" because of your weight.  I always make my son get in first to test it.  (I'm such a good mom to allow him to go first.)

 It is even better with just one person as you can actually "close up the sides" over you to block out any wind or maybe even mosquitoes.

This hammock comes with heavy duty straps that are easy to wrap around a tree.  My son was even impressed with the straps on this one vs our other one we own.  Always find a hammock with these straps.

Professional Salon Grade Negative Ionic Ceramic Hair Dryer

(I did get this at a discount, but all opinions are my own. I say it like it is and don't BS. I may receive a small commission if you buy something through my link.)

I'm not sure of all of the fancy words in the title as far as "negative iconic ceramic".  I"m not even sure what that means.  I do know that this is like 110% better than the one I was using before I bought this one as shown in the picture above.

My old one was on it's last legs and the coils were hotter than hot and at times "sparked".   This new one that I bought via Amazon HERE is amazing.  There are 2 speed settings (HIGH/LOW) and 3 heat settings (HOT/COOL/WARM) on the handle.  When I had on the heat a red glow came on inside the dryer which I am assuming is the negative ion and the infared function.  My hair did dry faster and I didn't have any "bad" hair days from using it.  You know, when the hair decides to dry in a funny way...yeah...none of that happened!

I read the reviews and someone complained about them turning it off while drying their hair because of the position of the buttons, but I didn't find that to be a problem.  Yes, it is a little bit heavier than my old dryer, but look at the size difference.  I tried all 3 attachments and they all stayed on while I used them...non fell off or got stuck in my hair.

30 LED Solar Light



(I did get this at a discount, but all opinions are my own. I say it like it is and don't BS. I may receive a small commission if you buy something through my link.)

I have been looking for a LED Solar Light to put outside the house instead of having our outside light on all the time at night.  Plus I wanted something to light up our new Wireless Doorbell.

This LED Solar Light has a solar panel on one side as shown in the bottom pic.  On the other side, there are 30 LED lights that shine pretty good as shown in the top pic.  It isn't outside yet as I have to have my husband put it up even though there are no wires to hook up.  I'm not real fond of ladders in front of doors.  LOL

I like this one as it is also turns on when it senses motion within 10 ft of it.  So, we aren't going to have the light on all the time...just when something motions it on.  We will be able to see where the key hole is when trying to unlock the door at night!  Plus it is waterproof!

You can check out more details HERE if wanting to learn more about this light.  I hopefully will have this up this week!

Solar Powered Power Bank

(Once again, not my picture as Amazon's picture shows the front and the back of the power bank.  I did get this at a discount, but all opinions are my own.  I say it like it is and don't BS.  I may receive a small commission if you buy something through my link.)

I picked up this power bank because of a few features that I wanted my husband / son to have when they are out hunting / fishing / camping for the weekend / etc.

1st - It is waterproof up to 3 ft of water.  I was more concerned with just rain.
2nd- It has a lot of power (which means more than just one phone charge)
3rd -Emergency Solar Charger for emergency charging
4th- (bonus) acts as a flashlight also
5th - has an indicator of how much power is left
6th - heavy duty case around it ...I actually feel safe allowing my husband to take it vs my other non protected power case.

Before this one, my husband had those cheap $5 ones that last one charge.  They eventually lose their charge due to recharging it after each use.  This one is awesome.  He can go a whole week on just one charge...you should charge it up via your computer to get a full charge and then the sun is kinda like bonus charging.  His phone sucks and needs charging constantly.

LED Headlamp Review

(I can't get a decent pic of the one I bought, so it is the stock picture from Amazon. I did get this at a discount, but all opinions are my own. I say it like it is and don't BS. I may receive a small commission if you buy something through my link.)

 I picked this one up for my husband after my husband kept using my son's and when our son moves out...he will take all of his cool gadgets including this one.

My husband will use it for all of his outdoor hunting sports, working on vehicles, and of course around the yard when it is too dark out and he wants to continue to work.

My son said that this one is nicer than the one he has and pointed out the features that he likes:

--Brighter lights
--Rechargeable batteries
--Waterproof Head Flashlight Light
--3 ways to charge it (USB Cable, Wall Charger and Car Charger)
--Has an emergceny power bank to charge your phone if needed
--Can have 1, 2 or all 3 LED lights working

There are other cool features that you can check out - HERE

Comfortable Ear Buds

(I did get this at a discount, but all opinions are my own. I say it like it is and don't BS. I may receive a small commission if you buy something through my link.)

If you have gotten any Apple electronic products, then you know the sucky earbuds that come with the product.  They hurt my ears.  Make a great product and sucky ear buds.

Anyways, these earbuds that you see in my ear are so soft and stay in my ear.  The sound quality is amazing and it also comes with a doodad thing that you can answer/end a phone call or play / pause music.  Though, that part is too techie for me, so my son had to show me how to use it.  I found him later taking them from my iPod shuffle to use with his stuff.  LOL

Multi-Use Power Household Adapter

(I did get this at a discount, but all opinions are my own. I say it like it is and don't BS. I may receive a small commission if you buy something through my link.)
Ever lose an adapter or have an animal chew one up?  This one will replace all of those adapters into one unit.  The Multi Voltage 30W replacement power adapter for many kinds of small household electronics, like MP3, Portable DVD, digital cameras, electronic toys and other compatible devices will make your life easy.

The little round key looking thing can change the output: 3V, 4.5V, 5V, 6V, 7.5V, 9V, 12V.  The knobs are stored on a harder plastic piece.  They are easy to get off and put back on.  Putting the knobs onto where they are suppose to go can be tricky and a bit hard to push in, but doable...just a little patience needed.

NOTE: It is NOT compatible with laptop or other high power equipment.

You can find most anything at Amazon including pasties.  Available in 2 semi-transparent skin tones (Pink, Brown) that blend into multiple skin tones.  They effectively prevent your nipples from showing through whatever you may be wearing. They are thin and lightweight.  They make your "top" look natural – you won’t feel you’re wearing them.  Easy to wash after use and store in the box shown.  Check them out  HERE

This is a unique charger that still allows you to grab your phone without unplugging it from the cord.  Another cool feature is that you can have your phone vertical or horizontal on the charger.  Check out the Fast Wireless Charger Charging Station Pad for Samsung Galaxy S7,S7 Edge,Note 5 HERE.  This charger can charge your phone in about 2 hours.

Wireless Doorbell Review

(I did get this at a discount, but all opinions are my own. I say it like it is and don't BS. I may receive a small commission if you buy something through my link.)

I had no clue there was even such a thing as a wireless doorbell and I was so happy to order this via Amazon as our doorbell's wiring doesn't work.  This one is the InJoy Wireless Doorbell with 1 Receiver Chime & 1 Push Button bell.  You get 36 Melodies, 4 Volume Levels and LED Flash on the flower receiver.  There is a battery that comes with the bell part and the receiver can be plugged into an outlet 500 ft away.

It is pretty easy to set up, but be sure to use the screws to attach it to the spot you want as I had just used the sticky stuff and apparently it doesn't like my siding as it fell off.  So I used the screws to screw it into my siding and works WONDERFUL!  Check out the product - HERE

Fidget Spinner for kids or adults

(I did get this at a discount, but all opinions are my own. I say it like it is and don't BS. I may receive a small commission if you buy something through my link.)
I didn't have one of these before I received this for a review and honestly didn't understand what all of the hype was about.  I totally understand the need for some people to have their hands doing something at all times even while watching tv...my husband is one of those people.

So, I gave this spinner to him and just told him to "play" with it and he figured out that you put your thumb and forefinger on the middle to spin it.  He also has bigger hands and was using the outer edge ones to spin it around.  It kept his hands occupied and his mind on the movie.

I put the spinner on the table and gave it a "flick".  It spun for a long time...I didn't time it, but I got bored watching it spin and just let it go.  The thing kept spinning and spinning.  LOL  These aren't for everyone as I more than likely won't pick it up to play with it, but my husband does like it and have seen him pick it up and spin away.  I believe once my daughter is done with school, she will need one also to keep her hands / mind busy.

You can check out the spinner HERE.

It does come with a necklace, which I will more than likely give to my neighbor girl for dress up.

Lingerie on Amazon?

(I did get this at a discount, but all opinions are my own. I say it like it is and don't BS. I may receive a small commission if you buy something through my link.)

If you are a little shy to go into a store, pick out lingerie and then pay for it at the counter, then you might want to consider shopping via Amazon for your items.  I'm not sure when is the last time I actually bought any lingerie as I have had some weight issues, but found out that they do make lingerie for "plus size women".

The above picture is for a Sexy Babydoll Lingerie and does include "panties" not pictured.  Personally this was more comfortable to wear without them.  When purchasing clothes online, ALWAYS measure yourself and compare it to their chart.  I measured and this fit perfectly where it was suppose to fit (aka the chest).

I also ordered the Women's Sexy Lace Teddy bodysuit (package pictured below as i couldn't get a decent pic of it hanging up).  This says 'plus' size on it, but it will fit non plus sizes also.  It can be a bit unique to put on, but once it's on...easy to get off.  LOL  Good material.  The red ribbon is satin ribbon, but also red elastic so there is some stretch to the outfit.
