Epica Reversible De-Matting Comb with Safety Blades for Dogs and Cats Review

MarksvilleandMe reviews

Epica Reversible De-Matting Comb with Safety Blades for Dogs and Cats

The Epica Reversible De-Matting Comb with Safety Blades for Dogs and Cats comes packaged as seen above. I was very excited for this since we have a Saint Bernard Spring is full of hair everywhere and unless we help with her hind quarters she will have tufts hair through most of the summer. With the Epica Reversible De-Matting Comb with Safety Blades for Dogs and Cats we don't have to worry about that and her fur looks beautiful much more quickly then letting nature takes it course.

Now that we have two kittens with long fluffy fur I am sure they will need a little extra help in keeping their fur in tip top shape too.

The two big sellers for me with this product is the safety case so my girls don't get cut, and of course the fact that this can be used by either a right handed person or a lefty like my husband. He knows all to well that most of the world is right (including me lol) while he is left in left field most of the time. Not with the Epica Reversible De-Matting Comb with Safety Blades for Dogs and Cats they took in account the lefties out there, Yeah Epica!

My animals are protected because of the rounded part that glides against their skin, not more sores or scratches for you little fut babies. These work with ease and my animals didn't mind the extra pruning so to speak, matter of fact when my cats see it out they rub up against it. I guess they even know a good product when they see it.

What Epica has to say about their product

Save your beloved pet the stress and discomfort of basic de-matting tools ... and you'll save yourself time and effort into the bargain. The Epica De-Matting Comb is ideal for all breeds with long, medium, wiry or curly hair.
Extra-Long Blades with Safety Edges
No more painful pulling, sawing or even possibly scratching your pet's skin. The smooth, curved edge slips safely next to his body while the serrated edge slices effortlessly through thick tangles and mats. Your grooming sessions go faster and he's much happier!
Blades Reverse for Right and Left Hands
If you're left-handed, you can still keep the smooth safety edges next to your pet's skin. Simply unscrew the nut at the top and reverse the blades so that they're positioned correctly for you to grip the handle with your thumb on the thumb rest.
Durable Stainless Steel with Non-Slip Grip
The Epica's stainless steel blades and thumb rest stand up to heavy use without rusting, scratching, bending or breaking. To minimize hand and wrist fatigue, the non-slip handle with ribbed neck give you a secure, comfortable grip.

You can purchase the Epica Reversible De-Matting Comb with Safety Blades for Dogs and Cats on Amazon.

Out of the Shoebox Review

Book Description:

Out of the Shoebox is a fascinating journal that reads like a detective story, comes across as an imaginative quest into the past, yet is the true personal story of the writer, Yaron Reshef.

An unexpected phone call hurls Reshef into an intensive two-year journey, during which he has to solve a mystery that took shape in the 1930s and gradually unfolded in the present. A mysterious lot, a forgotten bank account, a people long gone – along with their memory which were obliterated during the Holocaust. All of these rise to the surface, bearing with them memories and emotions previously hidden away in the shoebox.

MarksvilleandMe reviews Out of the Shoebox

written by

Yaron Reshef

Even though I read many genres of books, my favorite genre to read is non-fiction about the Holocaust, survivors, and how they overcame what they went through. It fascinates me. I just don't understand how anyone let things get so out of hand, turning a blind eye for so long, not to mention those who think it never happened no matter how much is written or even if they are shown video footage of the atrocities the prisoners of the Holocaust endured.

I grew up very near to a family who survived the Holocaust, at least the mother anyways, I was too young and never asked what happened. All I remember is the tattooed numbers on her arm, that she was in her 90's and loved to see me dance, so dance is what I did, it brought her much joy.

She has been gone many years and most of her children have followed her leaving just one of her Children along with her grand children, great grand children, and I am sure by now great great grandchildren behind. I should ask to hear more of her story. I believe hers may be one that hasn't been told.

I loved her as a grandmother, her daughter as a mother, and her grand daughter as Aunt figure if you will. Their whole family is very close to my heart. They are the Meisner's at least that would have been her married name.

This book like every Holocaust book I have read has taken me in completely to a different time and place. This book is filled with mystery that unfolds as you read along. Amazing emotion and surprises are throughout the book. This will be a page turner for those who love history, non-fiction, mystery, and a roller coaster of emotions.

Yaron does a great job at making you part of the story. I am glad to meet yet another family who endured so much, so that we might remember, that life will go on.

You can purchase Out of the Shoebox on Amazon.

Alpha Grillers Garlic Press and Peeler Set Review

MarksvilleandMe reviews Alpha Grillers Garlic Press

and Peeler Set

My first impression was wow, I mean look at how it comes packaged? Alpha Grillers is right about it being ready to gift. Beautiful packaging and once my press and peeler are clean they go right back into this box, at least until it falls apart from use.

We use garlic several times a week, and even though I have a garlic press I already love this one compares very closely with the one I already love and there is always room for a spare in my home. Now the peeler which I have never had. I usually put a few in a closed container and shake, shake, shake until all of the skins are separated from the garlic clove. Of course I am left with a stinky container to clean, but now I don't have to worry about that, I have my trusty garlic peeler.

You can forego the peeler if you want to this Garlic Press can do all of the work for you but if you have lots of garlic to mince then I suggest peeling first and then mincing that way you don't have to stop to clean the trap out. Easy way to enjoy your garlic without it taking so long.

What Alph Grillers had to say about their garlic press and peeler

Features:

1. Premium solid stainless steel garlic press
2. Mince unpeeled cloves with ease (peel stays in - minced garlic comes out!)
3. Ergonimically designed for easy squeezing
4. Works great for pressing ginger too
5. Premium silicone garlic peeler (insert clove -> roll tube back and forth -> tip out perfectly peeled clove)
6. Dishwasher safe
7. Beautifully presented in luxury gift box
8. BONUS EBOOK: "50 Delicious Recipes Using Crushed and Sliced Garlic"

The Secret to Quick and Easy Minced Garlic Every Time!

Currently peeling and mincing by hand? Any of this sound familiar?
- Smelly hands..
- Unevenly sized garlic mince..
- Bits of peel stuck to everything..

Perhaps you already bought a garlic press, but it had one of these common issues:
1) Garlic leaked out the chamber..
2) Really difficult to press..
3) The hinge snapped..
4) Aluminium corroded and pitted..

All these issues can be avoided!

Introducing the Alpha Grillers Garlic Press and Peeler Set

The Best Peeler on The Market:
- Simple to use: insert clove -> roll back and forth -> tip out perfectly peeled clove
- Extensively tested to identify the best texture and thickness of silicone for optimal peeling
- Highly durable and dishwasher safe

The Best Press on The Market:
- Solid stainless steel garlic press will last year after year without any corrosion
- Ergonomically design so very little effort is required to squeeze
- Easily minces both peeled and unpeeled cloves and even works great with ginger!
- Easy to clean and totally dishwasher safe

Wait a sec.. If I can press unpeeled cloves why do I need a peeler??
Excellent question! The press works great on unpeeled cloves; however, it does required quite
a bit more force to squeeze them though. Also, to get maximum yield you will always need to
use peeled cloves. If you are looking to slice your garlic you will need to peel it first too!
