Ozeri 10Inch Fan

So many Fans. And it's Winter!!!!

But in all honesty we use fans year round in my house. We use them to help circulate air especially when it's cold and there is little air circulation. We also use a fan in my daughter's room to help drown out house noises so she sleeps better (the fan doesn't actually blow cold air on her)

My latest in Fans is this awesome 10 inch Ozeri table top fan. It's a nice black and silver fan that can sit either on the floor or easily on a table. We are using it on the floor. I have decided this will be the fan we use in the basement in the new gym we are building. 

This fan is pretty powerful for its size. It oscillates which is awesome to be able to cool down a larger space like a basement. It is a real simple fan with 1 dial for power and speed. The fan is very quiet. It could definitely be on and not be disruptive in your home.

This fan is simple yet productive. It does exactly what it should do and I am satisfied with that. Sometimes you don't need fancy. You just want a good solid fan. 

I would give this fan 5 stars.

Ozeri 5 Piece Knife Set

I recently received a 5 piece (4 knives & 1 tray) Knife set from Ozeri. I will continue to say that I am always impressed with Ozeri products. They are always high quality products. This knife set came with 4 different knives and a really nice wood case that has a built in knife sharpener. 3 of the knives are large ones and there is 1 small paring knife. In our house I usually use the paring knife for chopping up fruits and vegetables but my husband likes to use the larger knives. I do not accurately know the name and use for each of the knives, we basically use which ever one we think will work best. There are a few features that I particularly like. They are light weight. The knives each have holes in them and I think this helps make them light weight. The knives are 1 solid piece of stainless steel. I like this because I don't have to worry about the handle getting loose. Also my other knives have plastic handles. These break and discolor over time. The stainless steel is easier to keep clean as well. These knives are very sharp. Both my husband and I used them for a few days and have enjoyed using them. 

The knives come in a nice wood case. If you had a designated knife draw this would fit nicely into the draw. In our house we use a knife block on the counter so the wood case will just go into storage for now.

Overall I would give these knives 5 stars.

4DBlocks - 40 Piece Magnetic Building Block Set

These are going to make a great Christmas present for my daughter. She is almost 3 and is really into trying to build things with her Legos. We went to a friend’s house a few months ago and they had a set of these. It didn't take her too long before she figured out how to use them and attempt to build something. 

This package of magnetic tiles comes with 2 sets of wheels for building vehicles. I love this part and I know my daughter will have so much fun with the wheels. There are 18 square shaped tiles, 12 triangle tiles & 2 large hexagon tiles. This set also comes with 6 solid yellow square plastic tiles. These are not magnetic and are meant to be inserted into the squares. I don't understand these pieces very much. I can't see my daughter using them much for her playing and building. 

The magnets on these tiles are strong and seem to hold the tiles together well. 

These tiles are great for educational play.

Ozeri Tower Fan

First let me say 2 things:

1 I know it really isn't fan weather but in our home we use fans year round

2 I love Ozeri Fans

This is my second that's right 2nd tower fan that I have from Ozeri. I am now the proud owner of a white and black fan. They are actually exactly the same except the color. I am a huge fan of this fan (Pun intended). We have 1 in our bedroom and 1 in my daughter's bedroom.

This fan has so many features that just add up to make a great house fan. First it is a tower fan with 3 separate fans. Each fan can be controlled individually. There are 3 speeds for the fans. The fan can oscillate to cool an entire room or be static. The fan has a timer if you want to set it. I believe it goes up to 4.5 hours. It is adjustable in half hour increments. This fan has a remote control. This is one of the coolest parts. I can keep the remote next to my bed and turn it on and off without having to get up. I love this convenience. The remote also has a nifty slot on the back of the fan to store it so you don't lose it. 

This fan is really quiet. I used to have 2 box fans and those were loud. I love that these just make a quiet hum. The fan has a soft blue light on the pole near the base. In the middle of the night when we need to use the bathroom it helps us see where we are going so we don't trip on the fan. 

Overall I would recommend this fan to my family and friends. The many options make this a quality fan perfect for your home

Shower Caddy

I had a shower caddy and loved it. It was from IKEA and had started to rust on the underside and wasn't looking good anymore. I stopped using it and was reluctant to spend a lot of money on another one that would rust. When I received this caddy to review I was actually really happy to be able to test it out. Here are my thoughts. The size of it is great. I was able to easily hang it from my shower head and fit everything I needed with extra space. The style of it is nice. It has a bunch of bling on it. Although I'm not a bling person I think this would be really fun in a young girl’s bathroom. Now I buy big bottles of hair and body wash so they didn't fit perfectly in the caddy but they fit a lot better than my old one. A regular size bottle would fit easily. As you can see from my pictures the bottles I have are tilted a bit to fit in the caddy. There are 2 shelves for storing shower supplies plus a small soap like dish that I use for my razors. I like that there are 2 hooks to hang shower puffs from. We have his and her hooks now and I like that. There are also 2 suction cups on the back that help secure the caddy to your shower wall. I'm not sure if this caddy will rust in time. I'm guessing it will over a few years even though it claims that it is rust-free but I also figure any metal object that is exposed to that much water will not last forever. I'm okay with that as well. Overall I am completely satisfied with this shower caddy and would recommend it to others. Below is a link to the product on Amazon if you are interested.

15 Piece Art Paint Brushes Set

This is a really nice paint brush set. First let me state I am not an artist. I actually got this set just do use with crafts for the house and with my daughter. The set came in a really nice zipper case that is black. There are 15 paint brushes. Each brush has a slot which helps keep the brushes neat and organized. When I first got this set of brushes the bristles where stiff. This is on purpose to keep them nice. Once you stick the brush in water and let it soak the bristles get soft like they should be. This set came with brushes ranging in all sizes. I like that there are some large brushes that will be good for painting larger areas and then some really mall brushes for fine details. They also range in brush type. There are straight edge ones & angled ones. I am not an expert on types of brushes and quality. These brushes seem like they are good quality but you can tell they aren't the best. The larger brush I was using the gold metal part jiggled a bit. These brushes will be perfect for our needs and uses.

500 Piece Craft Making Pom Poms

My daughter loved these craft pom poms. She saw them sitting on the table and kept asking me when she could play with them. She just wanted to touch them and look at all the bright colors. This package came with 500 small colorful pom poms. These are perfect for kid crafts. My daughter insisted we make a Christmas tree with them yesterday so we tried them out. We used Elmer's white glue and were easily able to glue them onto green construction paper. My daughter was able to manipulate the pom poms easily and get them where she wanted. They made an adorable decorated Christmas tree. I know we will use these for several kid crafts. I think there will be several Christmas trees hung around our home. 

As a mom I like that these pom poms came in a resealable plastic pouch. I can easily stick this pouch into my craft bin and not sorry about pom poms ending up all over the bin. Also did you see this comes with 500! that's A lot! 

These pom poms are small. They are smaller than I expected. They still work perfectly well though.

Orblue Pastry Cutter (Pastry Blender)

I like to bake... I used to bake a lot but now I have a child and I don't bake as often. However my little girl loves to help me and she loves muffins. Muffins taste so much better when they have that sweet crumb topping. You know the one... It's got brown sugar, butter 7 flower. Then the recipe says to use a Pastry cutter(also called a Pastry Blender) to make the crumbs. What is a pastry cutter is what I always said. My mom told me to just use to butter knives and it will do the trick. It works but it never comes out perfect. I want the good crumb topping. Well I have to say I am now the proud owner of this very “rare” baking tool: "The Pastry cutter". I can now make those awesome crumbs for my pumpkin muffins. You know those awesome crumbs that take any muffin from boring to excellent. I was super excited to try it out. Of course my daughter insisted on trying also. She needed to get her cute little hands on my pastry cutter and so I decided she could be my hand model for this post. My pictures are just with flour because when she helps out I give her a separate bowl with just flour so she can "help" and have her own baking bowl.

This pastry cutter has a great rubber grip handle which makes it easy to get a good grip on it. The body of the tool is stainless steel and really easy to clean. It appears and works just like your typical pastry cutter. There are 4 metal blades that do the magic of a pastry cutter. The metal blades aren't too sharp and therefore aren't dangerous for little ones to try with supervision of course. When I tested it with butter, flour, & brown sugar the cutter worked well to make crumbs. You sort of rock the pastry cutter back and forth and move the ingredients around and the crumbs form. It does take a little work to get good crumbs but we were satisfied with the results.

OTBBA HDMI Cable - 6 Feet

My husband has some movies downloaded onto his computer and sometimes we want to watch a movie from our computer. We have tried to figure out how to connect the computer to our TV and found that the best way is using an HDMI cable. We had just 1 HDMI cable that was used for our cable. We really needed a second cable. Well this new cable works perfectly for us. It's a pretty simple cable. It has HDMI connectors on either side and easily connects from the laptop to the TV. The cable is 6 feet and plenty long. The cable is a high speed cable and seems to work without any hang ups. The wire seems durable and has a thick insulation.

LAX 6 Foot Lightning Cable (Apple MFi Certified )

If you are like me you need a phone charger in every room, your car & your office. We have so many chargers and yet I always feel like I need 1 more. We are an Apple family and have a few devices that use the same type of charging cable so we often need to charge multiple items at a time. Well this is the latest charging cable I've added to my collection. This cable 6 feet long! That's right finally a cable that is long enough to reach the couch from the wall outlet. Most of my cables are only 3 feet and that's a bit short for me. This cable has a nice Velcro wrap so that you can wind the cable up so that it doesn't knot up. The best feature is that this cable is not your typical rubber wire cable. This cable is a tangle free braided nylon. So basically it looks like a nylon rope. This cable is designed to last. It is going to replace the cable I have in my bedroom. That cable has frayed at the connector and I had to try and tape it to keep it from getting worse. I even bought these little plastic shields that are supposed to prevent cables from fraying at the connector but they really don't work. I am so impressed with the sturdy design of this charging cable. The cable also connects seamlessly to my computer and to ITunes. Some cables will charge your phone but don't connect to ITunes on your computer. I plugged the phone into the cable and my computer recognized the phone right away. This cable is a good one and one that I would be happy to purchase again. I give it two thumbs up and 5 Stars.

Era Organic Baby Lotion & Diaper Cream

Have you heard of Era Organic baby skin products? Well they are great products so you should continue reading. I have had the opportunity to test out 3 of their products and have really enjoyed using all of them. I will only be talking about 2 of them in this post though. First, all of the Era Organic products are organic and made for sensitive skin. They are all made with organic oils & extracts and no chemicals. The products are fragrance and dye free and are cruelty free and vegan friendly. I like being able to look at the ingredient list and recognize everything as being natural. The Baby lotion is super moisturizing. It goes on smoothly and soaks into your skin easily. Now this lotion is alcohol free so it doesn't dry on your skin like some lotions do. You do feel the lotion a little on your skin afterwards but only until it all soaks into your skin. Many lotions actually have alcohol in them and this can actually dry your skin out which is the exact opposite of the goal. We have been using this lotion on my daughter after her baths. It is easy to apply and I like that it doesn't have any overbearing perfume smell. Usually after bath time she just puts on her pajamas so it's no big deal if her skin feels a little slippery from the lotion. I find that this lotion hasn't had any reactions on her skin and has really helped fight the dry skin that you get when the weather changes in autumn. 

We also recently got the Era Organic Diaper Cream. My daughter is almost finished with diapers but she still gets red sometimes down there. It's nice to find a natural cream that actually works. We've been using regular diaper cream because I’ve tried just coconut oil and it didn't work. I wish I had found this diaper cream 2 years ago. It has a similar feel to petroleum jelly and goes on really easily and smoothly. It helps create that moisture barrier that really helps heal little baby skin. The natural oils in the cream are excellent for healing the irritated skin as well. We used it for about a day and a half and noticed an improvement. She didn't have a bad diaper rash but now I am prepared for next time.
