Honey Bee Smooth





First of all this smells awesome, just like pure honey, and it feels wonderful on my skin. It doesn't scratch it and cause pain while using.

After I shower with my body scrub I still later on lotion after to keep my skin hydrated but I have to say this had made a bid difference in how my skin feels.

I use this mainly on my elbows, knees, legs, and feet. Wonderful results all the way around. I know I mentioned it before but the scent is fantastic.



This Body Scrub can be found on Amazon.


What Honey Bee Smooth has to say about their product.

LATHER YOURSELF IN A LUXURIOUS BODY SCRUB SO NATURAL… YOU CAN EAT IT - Yep, you read that right. You can eat it. This body scrub is as natural as they come. It’s free of harmful chemicals such as phthalates, PEGS and parabens, which are found in many other scrubs. It has no sulphates, silicones or mineral oil. You’ll love this simple and effective formula, made from 100% natural honey, brown sugar, and vitamins.  You deserve to use the safest, most effective skin care products on the market — and that’s exactly what you get with Honey Bee Smooth.

HONEY AND BROWN SUGAR ARE THE PERFECT POWER COUPLE - There are so many things to love about these two ingredients individually — Bring them together, and you get the ultimate relationship. Raw honey is loaded with antioxidants, enzymes, and other nutrients that nourish, cleanse, and hydrate your skin. Brown sugar is a natural glycolic acid, which powerfully exfoliates dead skin cells. Honey AND brown sugar both act as humectants, flooding your skin with moisture they draw from the environment (even after they have been washed off). And the best part about this happy, sugary marriage is that these two ingredients work their magic to give you YOUNGER, FRESHER looking skin.

YOUR ONE STOP SHOP FOR EVERYTHING YOUR BODY NEEDS - The benefits to your body extend beyond the simple hydrating and skin-softening effects of a typical body scrub. This scrub also has natural anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties that STIMULATE HEALING and tissue regeneration. They help rid you of acne, calm redness and irritation, and reduce the appearance of scars and stretch marks. And don’t be shy to use a little on your hair! Honey Bee Smooth has ingredients that regulate and retain moisture, strengthen hair follicles for healthy growth, and add shine, while maintaining a light and airy texture.

INDULGE YOUR SENSES IN SOME PROPER PAMPERING - This scrub was made with YOU in mind. Not designed as just a wash, but an EXPERIENCE. As you traipse into your tub or shimmy into your shower, a soothing energy surges through your body. Think of how you’ll FEEL as you reach for the Honey Bee Smooth. With just a few fingers worth, you lather the refreshing scrub into your pores, fully enjoying its delicious smell. It’s then that you realize what a great choice you’ve made. No worries, no stress as the sugary scent rises into your nostrils. The honey and brown sugar cleanse away the dead skin cells on the surface, making way for a healthier, glowing layer of skin to shine through. And as you towel off, wrap up, and step in front of the mirror, the beautiful improvement in your skin is quite apparent. “THIS,” you suddenly realize,” is the height of LUXURY.”

Arctic Storm Cool Gel Pillow





This is an item that makes my nights much more restful. I love to have a cool pillow but find after a few minutes my pillow is warm so I have to turn it over and I have to keep doing this all night long.

I have always wished they would come up with something that would keep my pillow cool and here it is.

I love this pillow for many reasons other then my own use. It can be used for a person who is running a fever, it can be used on children who need to keep something cool say on their head, leg, arm. Most kids don't like freezing cold items but this is cool enough that it isn't bothersome but still gets the job done.

You don't have to put this in the fridge or freezer it stays cool on its own. You might find after a full night of use it will be warm but if you get up to go to the bathroom by the time you get back it will have already cooled down so you can get right back to sleep.

The only problem I had is that this is really made for a standard pillow so it kind of just floated around my king size pillow so I am hoping they will make larger sizes for larger pillows so that it fits better.

You can find this gel pillow on Amazon.

Don't be caught with a dead battery


My husband was super surprised by how small this jump starter was and how much it can do besides just jump starting your vehicle. From a flashlight, SOS, to charging capabilities this is a really nice piece of equipment to have.

Think about your teen or college drivers out there, we want them to be able to get home safely and having one of these in their vehicles can be a great resource for some emergencies.

I love that this is so light. The jump starters we have had in the past are huge, heavy, and bulky, plus they don't fit anywhere and just roll around the vehicle but this one can be tucked into a glove compartment, under a seat, or in some pouch at the back of your car for safe keeping when it is needed.

You can find this compact jump starter on Amazon.

Cycling Gloves with LED Signal Light


I don't ride a bike very often OK to be honest not in the last 25 plus years of marriage but I would love to get out there and ride with my children. My husband is afraid I will fall and get hurt, but maybe if I start off riding in the grass and work my way up to riding on the road again he will be fine with that.

Either way these gloves are fantastic for my girls, or myself to use. My husband with huge hands is actually wearing them in the pictures. They did fit him but they were a little snug. He is more of a XXL in gloves but he was able to get them on for review purposes. They fit me fine and with my 12 year old having hands bigger than myself these will fit her even better.

We have been trying to teach our children how to ride on the roads more carefully. We live rurally so they are used to just riding wherever but if we ever move they have to be ready for how it is to drive with more traffic. That means actually wearing a helmet, using signals to turn, and everything else that comes with riding a bike.

These gloves are great they have nice grip, fit well, and the lights are fantastic for either night or day.

These gloves can be found in two colors on Amazon.


What Ohuhu has to say about their product.

~Makes Night Riding Safe - increases your visibility and communicates your turning intentions to other vehicles on the road
Easy & Simple to Use - All you need to do is to stretch out your arm and thumb up, let the turn signal gloves blink for a while and then turn
Smart Power Saving System - battery included (the LED lights will blink for 200 hours, which allows you to take about 400~500 thousand turns)

No More Rings




I have been looking for a nice set of coasters for quite sometime. In all of the years of being married which is over 25 years we have never owned a set, but being older, having kids, I now realize just how handy these little things are.

I am forever wiping my desk off from rings left from my cocoa, tea, and other drinks, but with a coaster I have had zero rings, except for once when I spilled some out of my cup on accident. I love how these coasters grip the area they are protecting, they don't slip which is great. They have little ridges that collect tiny bits of liquid so it doesn't end up on surface of where it is sitting.

This set had 6 coasters and a holder that keeps them all corralled in between use. I like this set because it goes with my scroll wrought iron kitchen accents.

This coaster set can be found on Amazon.


There's not a whole lot to describe about the product since it is so basic. It is simply a set of coasters used to set drinks on. They're black and made of silicone. They have a very sleek and aesthetic design which gives any room a subtle modern accent.
