Hot Pink Universal Armband for Smartphones



I am in love with this armband! I have had other armbands previously and they either slipped off entirely too easy or they were very loose and didn't hold my cell phone snug enough so it would bounce around inside the armband. When I put my phone in this armband, it fit my phone tightly enough that the phone didn't bounce around, the band itself didn't slip off my arm and I really like the fact that it is a pretty pink color and has some reflective areas included as well. The material is comfortable and doesn't cause my skin to get irritated while jogging either (which has also been an issue in the past). Overall, I would gladly recommend this product to any pink lovers looking for a comfortable, snug-fitting armband for their phone!

Do I Support Same-Sex Marriage?



Yes, I support same-sex marriage. Yes, I will raise my children not to judge someone because they are different. Yes, I was raised in a Catholic/Christian home. Not once will you EVER hear me condemning anyone in the LGBTQ community for loving who they love. So for those of you who are messaging me today and saying I am supporting people doing wrong and committing sin, I wish you would open your minds and hearts and stop judging. How would you feel if someone judged you for loving who you love? Why is love so wrong?? Regardless of the couple, I will ALWAYS support someone's chance at love and happiness and I am not afraid to stand up for those people I love that are part of the LGBTQ community. I am and will continue to be a proud ally. If that changes your mind about wanting to be my friend, read my blog posts or subscribe to my YouTube channel, so be it. ‪#‎MarriageEquality‬ ‪#‎LoveWins‬ ‪#‎LoveIsLove‬ ‪#‎Ally4Life‬

Soap For Coffee Lovers!


I gave this product to my Dad for Father's Day and he was amazed that it was possible to get that much coffee scent into a bar of soap. He is a true coffee lover (never leaves the house until he's had at least a few cups of it) and he was excited to try out this soap.

He did mention that the coffee scent may be a bit too strong for someone who doesn't enjoy coffee, but there are other scents available so they should probably just try one of the other scents available. He said that he liked the way the soap lathered up quickly as opposed to a longer amount of time, like his normal soap does.

According to my Dad's reaction, I would gladly recommend this soap to any coffee lover out there and if you don't like coffee, try out their other scents and you might find something else you enjoy!

Waterproof Smartphone Carrying Case Review



There have been plenty of times when I have been waiting for an important email or call from work and haven't been able to enjoy my weekend or vacation at the beach with my family because of the fact that I need to have my phone. With this product I could definitely bring my phone along and not have to worry about my phone being damaged by water or sand.

The waterproof case is relatively cheap looking but it does the job. One thing that I noticed that wasn't true, though, is the fact that, while testing out the waterproof case in the sink, it did not float like it said it was supposed to. Every other feature worked exactly as described though. I was able to send texts through the waterproof bag/case, check emails and even made a call. I am not sure that I would trust this product's floating capabilities (although maybe it was just because it was in the sink) but my phone didn't get wet at all and I left it submerged for 20 minutes to see if water would seep in.

Overall I think this is a product that would be helpful to anyone needing to have their phone with them at the beach and I would definitely recommend it. My tip is: keep the case on it's "leash" and don't expect it to float 100%.

Lost In My Mind: Recovering From TBI by Kelly Bouldin Darmofal


As a fellow TBI survivor, I loved having the chance to read Kelly's story and follow along with (and also celebrate) the triumphs. I truly do feel that all educators would benefit from reading her story. If not to better understand some of the things TBI causes, then to simply be able to be more compassionate and helpful to their students.

I barely put this book down once I started reading it. I have had to go through a lot of the things Kelly went through since my own injury and it gave me hope to see the way she was able to overcome a lot of the obstacles that stand in the way of success for those of us dealing with brain injuries. I think reading this story while I was going through my own early recovery period may have helped me to be more positive about my own outcomes.

I definitely recommend this book to anyone who enjoys seeing someone succeed and reach their goals. I also feel that this book would be good to share with anyone who may not fully understand the way someone with TBI thinks. I plan on sharing this book with my good friends who have often questioned my actions since my injury.

Protection From Identity Theft!


One thing that has always been something of concern to me (and should be a concern of everyone) is identity theft. Nowadays, a lot of very personal items that are most prone to being used for identity theft have RFID technology either in or on them. RFID stands for Radio Frequency Identification, in case you have never heard of this term before. If an identity thief has the right technology (ie. an RFID scanner/reader) they can easily gain access to your account information without you even knowing it.

I recently got the chance to review RFID SECURE'S RFID Blocking Sleeves. It's basically like a little sleeve for your credit cards and/or passport(s). If you've ever been to a hotel that uses keycards, the sleeve is similar to one that the hotel would place your keycard in.

I placed each one of my cards into a sleeve and they all fit perfectly. The only downside to having each one of my cards in a sleeve is that when I then placed the sleeves into my wallet, as I normally do, they were more bulky then normal and this created an issue as I almost was unable to fit them all into my wallet.

I definitely feel that RFID blocking technology is worth the investment and RFID SECURE did a great job with making card and passport sleeves that are durable and easy to use, however I would most definitely need a bigger wallet!

Tools4Wisdom Planner Review


I am a person who believes that you should constantly set goals for yourself. I recently got the chance to review a daily, weekly, monthly, yearly planner that allows you to set and keep track of your goals.

The planner is made by Tools4Wisdom and is available from Amazon at: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00TQ6GRYM

I really liked the fact that they have the planner set up like an appointment book that you would use in the workplace and also have room to write down notes, ideas and specific goals for the day. There are prompts in the planner asking why you want to achieve certain goals and how you plan to do so as well, which I think is helpful in figuring out the motivation behind each goal you set for yourself. Another helpful feature is that in the back of the planner, there is a notes journal. I feel that you could use that section to make notes on things that helped you achieve your goals or just other general notes.

I would definitely recommend this planner to people who like to set goals and those people looking for a way to keep track of their day.

Fertilify


I really like the fact that these tablets are chewable and that the taste of the tablets is a pretty normal fruity flavoring (not something that has a chemical taste to it). I also really like the fact that you are able to buy a month's supply in just one bottle as opposed to other supplements I have purchased in the past where you need to buy more than just one bottle to get an entire month's supply.

I also really like the fact that this supplement is used in fertility clinics and has the backing of fertility doctors. That makes me feel much more comfortable about using them.

I am not sure how these tablets will affect my overall reproductive health as of yet, but I plan on continuing to take the supplement for a number of months and then coming back to leave an additional review (or edit this review) to let you know how they worked for me and if they helped or didn't really help, in my opinion.

Lazy Lidz Sleep Mask Review


How many of you out there have trouble sleeping during the day or (like me) work during the night and have no other choice but to sleep during the day?

I recently got the chance to try the Lazy Lidz sleep mask and I have to say that it is super comfortable and it even comes with a little ear plug holder built in. I would recommend this product for anyone who needs to sleep when the sun is out or those who like to use sleep masks. Another nice feature of this sleep mask is that it has a velcro band which allows you to adjust the band size to fit your head comfortably.

The outside of the mask has a silky feel to it and the inside of the mask has a terry cloth like material which adds to the comfort of the mask. In my opinion, this mask is definitely worth the price!

Thermalabs Glow2Go Self-Tanning Towelettes {Product Review}




The Glow2Go Self-Tanning Towelettes make the self tanning process sooo much easier! For years I have carried self-tanner with me or simply had to leave it behind on occasions. With these, I could easily take one or two packets out of the box at a time and throw them in my purse if needed.

The towelettes are extremely easy to use and I love the fact that the tan that develops after application looks very natural, just like it says on the box. Just make sure that you really do take it light on the areas they say you should because I put a bit too much around the inner crease of my elbow and that area looks darker than the rest of my arm.

I would definitely recommend this product to anyone who uses self-tanning products but is looking for an easier way to get a tan when you're on the go. Much easier than carrying around a big bottle of tanning spray or tanning lotion.
