Review: Sweet Dreams Bedtime Bliss Sleep Mask, Earplugs, and Carrying Case




Disclaimer: I received these items in exchange for an honest review. I was not required to post a positive review. These are my honest opinions. Your experience may differ.

Many of you have probably tried regular sleep masks before, as have I, and you will probably agree with me on this one. They suck. I have gotten trapped into the glamour of them. you watch movies and the actresses wear them when they go to sleep and make it look so incredibly easy, and comfortable. HA! Wrong. Every sleep mask I have tried up until now, I have hated. They are always way too tight on my face, aren't long enough, or just plain don't block out any of the light. 



For all of those reasons I was so skeptical about trying this sleep mask, but I decided to give it a try anyways. 

I tried this during the middle of the day. I had been having a very hard time sleeping, I was restless, and just couldn't keep my eyes shut. I kept tossing a turning, knowing that i had to get some sleep, but just couldn't shut my eyes. So I went and grabbed this eye mask and put it on. It was very comfortable, and was definitely big enough to cover my entire eye region. The best part about this particular mask, was the the part that goes over your eyes, was molded. So it felt very natural. I could open and blink my eyes with the mask on without any difficulties. This also did a wonderful job of keeping the light out.  

I did try to put in the ear plugs, but they were not my favorite. I can sleep fine with noises anyhow, so I would probably never use them. The mask on the other hand, has a permanent home, right on my nightstand.

Do you want to know what one of the most terrifying things is about being a woman? Being out in public, when it's that time of the month. Well, actually, being any where but home during those few dreaded days. Scensibles bags are trying to help ease that fear. Instead of trying to flush your sanitary products, or using half the roll of toilet paper to wrap them in, You can put them in these cute little bags. 

Scensibles Bags:

Review: Sky 1 by William Amerman



Disclaimer: I received these items in exchange for an honest review. I was not required to post a positive review. These are my honest opinions. Your experience may differ.


Review:
I enjoyed this book, it took me a while to get into it though. It was well written and the scenery and settings were very descriptive. I could picture it in my own mind very easily. I love books like this. This book got my mind working about what I would do if I was in the situation that the main character, Nick, was in. My final verdict on this story is that I would recommend it. 

Summary:
Nick Burke has been allotted 389 square feet of living space by the government. Disease spreads quickly when people are packed together so tightly. Quarantines are regularly imposed in an effort to contain the spread of infection. Lately, though, rumors are spreading that quarantines on some Grounds are not being lifted.
 
When a quarantine is imposed on Nick's Ground, he and his family are trapped. The only way out is to break laws that carry a penalty of death. Fearing for his life and the safety of his family, Nick joins forces with a local group to move to another Ground. But can he trust his new friends?


About The Author:
William Amerman was born in Houston, Texas and obtained his Bachelors degree in English from The University of Texas - Austin, way back in the last century. He lived in Austin for eight years, then moved to Denver, Colorado to explore the whole "mountain man" lifestyle. In Denver he met a cute Dutch girl on a ski slope, whom he quickly wooed and followed back to her native country, The Netherlands. He married the cute Dutch girl in 1999 and they spent the next 7 years raising two sons and a sadly over-weight hound in a suburb of Amsterdam before moving back to the US in 2003. Their third son was born in 2005.
He received his MBA in Finance from Santa Clara University in 2009 and currently holds a "real" job in Information Technology in order to feed his three sons, but manages to write in the mornings and on weekends. His latest efforts are directed towards finishing a futuristic thriller trilogy based on a simple idea he had one late Saturday morning lying in bed, looking at the sky through a skylight window in the roof; proving that getting up early can be a hazard to creative thinking! 

Review: 4/5 Losing a point only because it was a little hard to get into at first.

Review: Pink Zebra Sprinkles

Disclaimer: I received these items in exchange for an honest review. I was not required to post a positive review. These are my honest opinions. Your experience may differ.

A lot of you know by now that I love candles, and candle accessories. I recently had the opportunity to review Pink Zebra Sprinkles. If you are anything like me, you had probably never heard of them before! They are little "sprinkles" of wax! You can put them in your wax warmer instead of the giant cubes. 


The best part about these is that you can mix scents! 

I was sent two different scents to try: Watermelon and Orange Blossom. They both smelled divine, but my personal favorite was the watermelon... even the envelope the samples arrived in smelled amazing. I took them out of the package, and within minutes my entire bedroom smelled like watermelon and Orange Blossoms. I hadn't even put these in the warmer yet! 

I realized something after reading a little bit more about the product. You don't even have to stick them in the warmer... if you want your clothes to smell good, sprinkle a few in your dresser drawers. You can also easily make your own candles with just a wick, and the Pink Zebra Sprinkles. 

If you love your home, your car, or your clothes to smell amazing, check these out!

Review: Skout Organic Trailbars and Trailpaks

Disclaimer: I received these items in exchange for an honest review. I was not required to post a positive review. These are my honest opinions. Your experience may differ.

I usually am not a huge fan of energy type bars, mostly because they are always dry and tasteless. I was very wary of trying these bars, because of all of the bad experiences I have had previously. I tried one of the chocolate flavored ones first, because I was craving something sweet. 

When I blog, I blog at nighttime, and I end up craving sweet things. Instead of eating a candy bar, or something unhealthy, I tried these trail bars, and I have to say, I was very impressed with the flavor, and the texture. These were moist and packed with flavor. They also gave me a boost of energy, and I was able to keep on track while I was writing. I was able to try all five flavors:
- Blueberry Almond
- Apple Cinnamon
- Cherry Vanilla
- Chocolate Coconut
- Chocolate Peanut Butter


 

These bars are Organic, Vegan, Gluten Free, Non GMO, Dairy and Soy Free, contain naturally occurring Protein, Fiber and vitamins, and contain no refined sugar or fillers. 

The other product I was able to review from Skout, was Raw pumpkin seeds. I was very impressed with these! When I was a kid, on Halloween we would toast the pumpkin seeds after we hollowed out of jack o lanterns. After trying these Raw seeds, especially with the flavorings on them, I don't think my plain old toasted seeds will be as satisfying. They are very fresh, and the portion size is quite a lot. If you are feeling the "slump" in the middle of the day, these would be a very good snack. I like to keep these next to my computer if I start to get that "snacky" feeling. They help me curb my appetite, and keep me on track, so I don't have to get up and break my concentration by going and grabbing a snack. 

I was able to try all three of the flavors:
- Black Pepper BBQ
- Jalapeno Salsa
- Sea Salt

My favorite flavor was without a doubt, the Black Pepper BBQ. Each serving size contains 10 grams of protein. 


I loved both of these products. I would recommend them to anyone. If you are an active hiker, these were made for you, but even if you are a busy mom, looking for a pick me up throughout the day, or accidentally skipped breakfast or lunch, these would be great!
