Julienne Peeler & Vegetable Peeler Review





Even though I have been married for 24+ years and a mother for almost the same amount of time, this is my first ever Julienne Peeler. I remember watching cooking shows and saying boy I wish I could do that. I don't have the patience to do it by hand, and in case you didn't catch in my other posts, I am susceptible to cuts so I try to keep away from knives as much as possible. 

Yes I have cut myself with a peeler before and it is no fun. This peeler has two sides so I have to be extra careful, but I love the results so this is one of my kitchen favorites. Julienne has become a new word in our kitchen. 

I love that this peeler can Julienne or just plain peel. It alo has little loops on the sides so you can dig out eyes or stems. This is an all in one peeler, Three times the peeler or rolled into one neat gadget. 

The only thing I can see that would make this better would be a rubber grip to make it non slip while peeler. Even though I don't hang my gadgets this does have a closed loop end which you can hang if that is what you do. 




You can purchase the  Julienne Peeler and Vegetable Peeler on Amazon.

Coosh [Apple MFi Certified] Lightning to USB Cable 3ft / 1m for iPhone (Black) Review



Not available until March but I am glad I was able to give this a whirl before many others. One thing my girls burn through more then anything else is their sync/charge cable for their Apple products. Matter of fact mine has already disappeared and of course no one touched it. Since mine has always been in the same place to charge someone touched it but no one is giving up who did it. 

From now on we are going to put names on the cords, hoping that will help. What is great about the Coosh sync/ charge cable with lightning connector, is that it is Apple certified so there won't be any problems using it with your devices. This is a one meter cord which is a smidge over 3 feet. Plenty of room for most people to be able to use with their iPhone, iPad, or iPod.

In March you will be able to purchase this on Amazon.

The Hunt Review



MarksvilleandMe reviews The Hunt
written by Sophia Grace

Anyone who knows me should know by now that my favorite Genre of story is from the Holocaust or World War II.  From page one The Hunt was a page turner, which I read in one sitting in under an hour. Yes that good at least for me. 

It is an easy read, and one a young adult could read with no problem. If they can read Holocaust Biographies then they can handle this book. Frank is a man who had an ordinary life until one day while at a coffee shop he hears a conversation that will change his life. Full of secrets, underground groups, mystery, and death, this book will keep you reading. 

You can purchase the Hunt on Amazon.

Credit Card-Sized External Battery Charger Review


Besides the external battery charger sticks out there this has to be the smallest I have ever seen so far. This is really nice as it fits right into your wallet if you are a female, or in your pocket if you are a male. I like that is comes with a spot that holds everything nice and neat, including the apple lightning adapter.

This is one I can have in my purse for those just in case times, we try to check on our chargers at least once a week to make sure they are powered up. Great for power outages, vacations, or when you can't get to a electrical socket to charge your device.



You can purchase the Power Theory Credit Card-Sized External Battery Charger here or on Amazon.
What Power Theory has to say about their product.
Power Theory® Credit Card-Sized 2500mAh Portable Charger External Battery Pack with built-in USB & Apple® Lightning Cable. The PowerCard is a Lightweight Backup Phone Power Bank That Fits in a Pocket or Wallet and Works Great for iPhone 5/6, Samsung Galaxy, HTC, Nexus and More.

  • THE POWERCARD - A PERFECT COMBINATION OF POWER, SIZE & WEIGHT. Many products claim to be "the world's thinnest, lightest power bank". Usually that just means they don't have enough juice to actually charge your phone enough to use it. If you compare our ratio of weight (60g/2.1oz), to compact size (3.75 x 2.4 x 1/4 inches) to powerful charge (2500 mAh Real Capacity) you will not find a better external battery charger for emergency situations or those days where you need a little extra power.

    NO MORE FUSSING AROUND IN YOUR BAG FOR ANNOYING CHARGING CABLES. A portable battery charger is not really portable if you have to also carry the cables that easily break or tangle. Our smartly designed external power bank has a built-in Micro USB and Apple Lightning Cable meaning you have everything need to charge your phone when you need it the most.

    NEVER RUN OUT OF BATTERY POWER AGAIN. External battery packs are a great idea in theory, but we found that we never seemed to have them on hand when we needed them the most. To solve this we designed the PowerCard. Our lightweight design means you can always carry the charger with you whether you are out on business, travel or at a restaurant. Our A+ Li-Polymer battery cell (2500 mAh) means that you can depend on the PowerCard to fully charge almost all smartphones.
