I'm really impressed with this weighted blanket! I've heard positive things about their benefits for a long time now but really just didn't think that it would live up to all the hype. After using it for a bit now, I must say that it is way more than I expected as far as in comfort. I had pictured a blanket with beads or something that would toss the weight around but that's not what this is - this feels like it has more of a even weight distribution all throughout. The blanket itself is well made, the material is soft and the stitching is even. I also noticed that it did not come with any strong chemical scents or odors. I was able to start using it right out of the bag without "airing it out" or anything. To give you a reference to the size, this one is ideal for a twin-sized mattress. It will go from the bottom of the bed to right about the area of your neck, so it covers everything but my head. Overall, I'm really pleased with it. This is a keeper!

This water filter is a perfect fit for my Samsung fridge! Changing it was no different from changing out my old brand of water filters. I tried this two ways....I popped it in to see what would happen with the initial water before running the five gallons through it like we're supposed to do. As you can see in the picture, that is the darkest cup of water (side by side comparison to my town water direct from the sink). After following the prep instructions of running five gallons of water through it, I retested with the side by side fridge to town water. In that picture, the town water is actually darker and nastier looking. The filter is working properly and has made a very noticeable visual and taste difference. I would use this again!

Recently I’d been lamenting about how many zip plastic baggies I’ve been going through with doing a new food plan (yay Keto!). Then I saw this item! I was super excited to give it a try and waste less! I got the 1000ml size in green. I love that this has measurements on the size in both cups and ml – I haven’t poured and checked to be sure they are accurate yet though. The other side has a different slick texture and lines to write on it. I wrote on it with permanent marker (after it was damp though)…it looks like it will come off – I will update on that! The bottom is designed so it can stand up on its own which is nice! One drawback is the base comes up so the bottom of the bag isn’t as deep (see photos for what I mean here). So basically you are definitely losing some bag real estate here. Due to the nature of the material (soft silicone) the top is going to seal when you slide the bar on. There is an arrow on the bag pointing which way it should go…it goes toward the circle notch. This totally seals this bag! I wouldn’t use this for more ‘delicate’ snacks that could break with a little pressure, like crackers…the bag has enough heft that I’d be worried they would break. Perfect for so much more though! I’ve used it for fresh mozzarella as well as a salami package. It went through the dishwasher fine, no issues there! Overall I’m pleased with this product and am excited to continue using it and getting more!

These aren’t nice soft lush washcloths you’d use for your body or set out for guests.
These are advertised as follows: ‘Use these washcloths at the gym to wipe down machines, in the kitchen to tackle the dirty dishes, or around the house to wipe down furniture. Throw a few in the car for a convenient rag when it's needed’. I needed these for gun maintenance cleaning as something that I don’t feel bad about tossing if it gets too gross with solvents, etc. They are a sturdy washcloth, but not thick – you can see light through them. The edges and sewing are nothing to complain about. They are not soft, but you wouldn’t expect them to be. They are a great shop towel and I’m excited to use them!

She uses it in the car because she has hip pain. She reports that the seat is amazing and it has help up very well. It helps the car ride be much more bearable. It seems to work and support as well as it did the first day she used it. It gets regular daily use and it is holding up great. She loves it and would highly recommend it!

This will do the trick for you. This is a no frills, keep the water in the shower type of product. The rings at the top seem sturdy enough.
The curtain is thin – you can see skin color when your hand is on the other side. There are no frills such as magnets on the bottom or suction cups at the side. This does include 13 rings (yes, one extra) for hanging the curtain, they flex open and then back closed. I haven’t used it long enough to know how this holds up to mildew, but it holds up to water just fine!

I appreciate the handy tools this offers, like being a bottle opener for example – along with being a sharp pair of scissors. This style opens and separates for easy cleaning. I appreciate this for trimming meat and being able to give them a good wash after the fact. They are nice and sharp out of the box and did some basic cutting with nice smooth edges.
I really like the magnetic holder for these. I have it on my fridge and it’s such a convenience to be able to grab and go if I need a pair of scissors quickly. The magnetic holds well, and holds things like papers to the fridge under it as well. I take away a star for the fine details on the product. I’m not sure if it’s a molding issue or where the breakdown is, but there are some rough edges and not smooth transitions on parts of this. There is a weird indent on the side of the holder and the top of the scissors are rough and have odd plastic indents/imperfections. Sadly the box this arrived in was pretty beat and the glue was no longer even holding the box together. Not great for present presentations. In general I’m happy with these though, and if you can deal with the imperfections noted, I’d recommend them.

If you’d like something to last more toward 8 or 10 hours I’d suggest a 300ml size. 200 is nice for when I’m home in the evenings and want this to run for a bit (it’s good for about 6 hours on low).
The wood grain look of this is nice and would be flattering in many homes. The light that can glow from the middle ring can give nice mood lighting if you wish as well. The colors in my video and photos are a bit off, I’m sorry I couldn’t get a good representation of that for you. This product gives a light mist…not super powerful, but not float on the counter – I feel it’s a nice dispersal rate. This does automatically shut off when it runs out of water, which I greatly appreciate as I would never remember to check on it lol. Overall I’m pleased with this product.

The PEVA liners boast that it is mildew resistant and has no smells as it’s not made of PVC like so many other shower curtains are. I was shocked at how there really was no smell! I realize that’s what it’s advertised as, but I thought to myself ‘well, less smell will be great’…I was so shocked at literally no smell from this! Generally I put up a new shower curtain and leave the fan running for days to air it out. None of that with this curtain!
The thickness is average…not heavy but not thin enough to see through (I received the white color), so it moves very smooth. The 12 top hole grommets seem to be of decent construction, light also. I appreciate magnets at the bottom of a shower curtain. Even though my tub doesn’t have the magnetic feature, they keep the shower curtain down and nice looking. The curtain also features the little suction cups on the edges to keep this attached to the shower if you like. The size was perfect for my typical average shower. I’m pleased with this curtain and recommend it!

Rating: 5 of 5 I’m excited over this shower shelf! So many products out there today for showers have suction cups, but some work better than others. Sadly many don’t work on lightly textured tiles. While I don’t have this type of tile anymore to confirm, this is the type of thing I was looking for when I did.
The system this uses really makes this baby stick to the shower wall. First there is the suction cup, then you put the colored plastic part over that, then you twist the white circle onto the part of the suction cup that sticks out. When you do this twisting you can feel it grabbing onto the wall very securely. You’d then hook the shelf onto the hole in the colored plastic you just hung. The not perfectly easy next step is getting the other suction up lined up just right so the shelf will be at the right height and the suction to the left or right just so. I ended up hooking the colored piece onto the shelf, connected it to the suction already installed, and put the other suction to the back of the colored piece pre-moistened. I then positioned it where it needed to be and removed the plastic parts so I could give the suction cup some good pushes on its own. Repeat the above and I was good to go! I installed this in a tiny stall shower and where I first put it I thought I’d bump into it so I moved it up and out of the way for sure. I’m pleased this has the slots, it keeps this from holding water and getting moldy and gross. The slots are narrow enough to still sit a razor in it if you wish though. It holds a nice amount of ‘shower stuff’! The plastic is hard and not flimsy or cheap feeling. I’m pleased with this and would recommend it!
