Baby Gate Wall Protectors

First of all, whoever invented these was genius. I bought an octagon baby play gate area for my dog when he was a puppy because I didn’t want to leave marks on the walls by putting up a regular baby gate. These are super easy to use, and all you need is a gate that you don’t move (one that has a gate you walk through) because it would be really annoying to have to deal with the gate and the four guards. When my husband and I start a family (and hopefully buy a house) I hope to have these types of gates to make it easy on us and I will definitely be registering for these guards as well. I definitely recommend these baby gate wall protectors! Oh, and my dog was very intrigued by these if you couldn't tell by the picture below lol.

Lingonberry Shampoo, Body Wash & Bubble Bath

When I received the Lingonberry Shampoo, Body Wash & Bubble Bath I was so excited. I put enough on my hair (which it seems like I needed to use a lot more since it was watery) and shampooed my hair, it felt like it actually dried faster than with my normal shampoo. I’m not sure if that is supposed to be a good thing, but in the mornings I don’t have a ton of time so it was nice that my hair didn’t take as long to dry. I like that it is all-natural and has rosehip oil in it to help keep your hair from drying out too. Overall, I love the smell of this 3 in 1 shampoo, body wash and bubble bath and look forward to using it more as a body wash and hopefully in a relaxing bubble bath.

50 Mini Gift Card Holders

This set of 50 mini gift card holders is awesome- and a great deal! They are super easy to use, just like an envelope, fold in the sides and there is a white strip on the inside you take off to adhere the whole thing together. I had to do a double count to believe that that many gift card holders came in the package! I am so cheap when it comes with spending extra money on cards and card holders that are going to get thrown away. This set is going to last me a really long time, and I am so happy I got it!

20 Pack- 3 Compartment Meal Prep Containers

This set of 20 three compartment meal prep containers is really nice! Each container is made out a thick plastic, so you can tell they’re going to last a while. I think I want to save the containers (hence why there isn’t food in my picture yet) for when family comes over and I want to give them leftovers. I’m also thinking about bringing them to my dad’s on holidays for my sister and me since he always gives us leftovers (and it’s always an issue with his girlfriend- even though I have always brought back their containers). Anyways, these are truly very nice, and are perfect for meal prepping. I might have to get my dad his own set.

Set of 16 Liquid Chalk Markers

I love this liquid marker chalk set! So, if you haven’t used chalk markers, I’ll just let you know that you’ll want to start. They are great for making decorations around your house (or like for me, I used them a ton for my wedding decorations). My sister is now getting married in a couple months, and this set is going to be perfect for crafts we are going to do. Liquid chalk markers are almost always permanent/semi-permanent though, so just keep that in mind. I only bought white and gold for my wedding because they were so expensive- this set is very reasonable! I use these because your project comes out SO much nicer, and if you need/want to cover it up and do another project- you can buy chalkboard paint and do so. Once we start doing projects, I will post some pictures. :)

Baby Bandana Drool Bibs

These bibs for little boys or girls are super cute. I’d say two to three are perfect for boys- one in particular is a little too girly, and I love the four designs! They are adorable: there’s a pink and blue one with dandelions, a light blue one with white fox type animals, a white one with multi-colored birds in the neutral/light pink-orange colors and a white one with brown and blue owls on it. I also love that the inside of the bibs are bright colored (and honestly are almost as cute as the design side) and has two different clasps so that your baby can keep wearing it they grow. The one thing I did wish was, since the inside of the bibs are so cute, they should have made them reversible with the clasps. I love that these are super easy to wash- put a little spray and wash on any spots (or any stain fighting agent) and just throw it in the washer with whatever you are needing to wash at the time. I’d highly recommend these to friends/family!

Clear Globe Ball String Lights

These lights are perfect for my back patio! I absolutely love them and need to order my second set! Also, you can connect multiple strands and are 25 feet long, which is awesome! I have been wanting to get these for so long, it’s ridiculous. They give a nice little romantic feel to our backyard, especially when my husband and I sit out by our fire pit with a cocktail. I do recommend getting at least 2 strands if you are going to do a back patio area, since we do have a pretty good sized patio we needed two strands. The set has a nice warm glow to them, and really makes your backyard look more beautiful at night. They really are prettier in person than in the pictures too, and are a cheaper than the traditional lights you would get for your backyard. I highly recommend getting yourself a set or two (or three). I will add another picture once I get our second set and hang them up in the backyard.

Pizza Cutter

This stainless steel pizza cutter is really nice. Being that it is stainless steel, it is extremely durable and can be washed in the dishwasher, which is nice. It cut our pizza easily the other night which is always important as well. The only thing I wish it had is a blade cover for when it’s put away in a drawer. I would definitely recommend this pizza cutter as long as you have a safe place to store it.

Pet Shampoo

I was extremely happy this shampoo was free of chemicals, parabens, harsh scents, and sulfates because our last dog was extremely itchy (allergies) and nothing seemed to work for him besides prescribed shampoo and conditioner. I noticed our dog now is starting to have itchy spots and I just don’t want him to have to go through such harsh measures to feel better. It lathered up pretty fast and I loved that it was made with baking soda and oatmeal. I love that this is ecofriendly- I hadn’t thought about that your dog licks himself and may ingest harsh chemicals (which he tried to lick the soap more than once- so I’m glad it was all-natural lol). I highly recommend this shampoo for your dog!

Champagne Themed Balloons

These balloons are adorable, and perfect for my upcoming events! My sister is getting married next year and I am so excited to add these balloons as decorations for either her bridal shower or her bachelorette party (depending on what she wants to do for both). I plan on doing a “bubbly bar” and creating a fun little bar area with this nice touch with the balloons. At first, the gold balloons look more copper, but once you blow them up they are in-between a copper and gold color (which is perfect for her because she loves copper). The package comes with one large bottle of champagne, one large champagne glass, eight gold and eight pearl white balloons. I am so happy I was able to get these and would definitely recommend these to anyone who is going to be throwing a party soon (and honestly I’m thinking about getting another set because they are that awesome).

Bike Pizza Cutter

This pizza cutter is adorable! I have never seen anything like it! I bought this for part of my brother-in-law’s Christmas gift because he loves mountain bike riding. He is going to be so excited for this and I can’t wait to give it to him as part of his gift. It stands up really easily in the bike stand and it also cut through our pizza we had for dinner last night really easily (just don’t tell him I already used it lol). It seemed like it wouldn’t be that strong when I pulled it out of the packaging, but I had no problem using it to cut the pizza. I don’t know if my sister will let him leave it on the kitchen counter as a decoration, but it honestly is that cute that you could (we will see). I absolutely recommend this pizza cutter for anyone you know who likes to ride and also likes to eat pizza after their workout.

Muffin Tins (Silicone)

I actually bought these molds to make frozen treats for my dog (I have tried cutting up carrots with water and also watermelon with water). They are the perfect size to keep him occupied for about 15-20 minutes since he’s only about 30 pounds. The molds are super easy to clean and don’t take up too much room in my cupboards, which is really nice. I love that the molds are silicone because once his treats are frozen, I just pop them right out and stick them in a freezer bag so he can have a treat whenever we feel like it. These molds also come with an e-book with muffin tin recipes which look amazing! I absolutely recommend buying this set of muffin tins!

Toniiq Premium Hangover Prevention and Liver Support - 6 On-The-Go Packets

I love the idea of these pill packets! After I hit the age of 25, it seems like every hangover hurts so much more than it used to…. And I know everyone told me that, but I didn’t really believe it until I started experiencing it for myself. Each dose is individually wrapped and you take two black pills before bed and one white one when you wake up. I have not had the opportunity to be hungover yet lol, but plan on it after my friends’ wedding in about a week. The packaging says you can take two packets if you are really drinking a lot, and my friends warned me it’s going to be one of those weddings, so I think my husband and I are planning on taking two dosages each (not positive yet). If these do actually work, I am 100% going to buy stock in these and give them as gifts. I am so excited I get to try these and will update this review if they don’t work and once my yet again 2 day hangover subsides lol.

Arrow Swizzle Sticks Glass Stirrer Set

These stir sticks are adorable! I realized a couple months ago when I was making cocktails for friends, that I didn’t own any stir sticks. I am really excited I got these because my sister is getting married soon and I am going to use them at her bridal shower to add an extra touch of romance. The only thing is that these are definitely made for short glasses, I think if I were to try and use them in a highball glass I would end up losing the stick at the bottom of the glass. The set comes with 6 stir sticks that are made of frosted glass. I’m not sure which side you’re technically supposed to stir with lol, but it seems like it makes more sense to hold onto the end of the arrow and stir with the arrow part. I definitely recommend these cute stir sticks, and will be probably buying another set soon!

Soft Baby Feeding Silicone Bib 4 Pack

These bibs are super cute! I really love that they are dishwasher safe and have a little catch-all place at the bottom of bib. These remind me of when my niece and nephew were little and always used plastic bibs and I thought they were so smart to have the catch all spots because toddlers and babies are obviously so messy. I also love that they are bright colors and gender neutral. I have gotten a little carried away with getting baby stuff since my husband and I plan on starting a family in the near future, so these will be perfect whether we have a boy or girl (and same with if/when we have a second child). I also love that there are different knobs on the loop around the neck for different stages in the baby’s growth and it is really fast and easy to slide together. The only thing is, that they may be a little heavy for smaller babies- so I’m thinking this will be better for like 1+ years.

Business Executive Professional Travel Portfolio

This Business Executive Professional Travel Portfolio is made out of high quality materials and looks extremely professional. This is perfect for someone who goes to a lot of meetings, or for someone who is going into interviews. I personally got this for interviews because I like being over prepared for the interviewers with extra resumes, business cards, etc. on hand, and I also like to jot down their names and emails if they don’t have business cards on them so I can send them a follow up email. I also like to keep a couple personalized questions for the interviewers in the notepad, so if I’m nervous and forget what I want to ask them, I have it there and it’s not too obvious I forgot. I feel like it looks like you are more prepared and more professional than a regular folder or fumbling around in a purse to try and find a pen too. I highly recommend this portfolio, and it is honestly well worth the money! I think they could sell it for about $50, not $35- great deal!

Natural Hold Hair Styling Gel

This gel is really nice if you are looking for a soft hold. I don’t really use gel, but my husband does, and I had him try it and he liked it. The only thing for him is that he has like a comb to the side type hair style, which typically calls for a little bit of a stronger hold, so I’m not sure if he is going to keep using it or not. I will definitely be trying this soon for a tight accountant type bun hair style next week when I start my new position (since I am an accountant). So, for some reason if I don’t like it, I will be updating my review. I think this gel will be perfect for this hairstyle I do at least once a week, since I like a light holding hair spray, but lately my hairspray I love is not holding as well as I’d like it to. It is a clear gel too by the way, I just had a hard time showing it in the picture below.

Hydration Pack Premium Backpack

This hydration backpack is really nice! You can definitely tell it is made out of quality material and it has two big zippered pockets- one that will be filled with whatever you are drinking in the “bladder” and the other for your personal things like a go pro and your keys, phone and a power bar or even a small sunscreen bottle. When the pack is filled up with water I don’t think you can fit a whole lot of bulky things in your pack, but after you drink about half of the pack, you could definitely fit a light sweater/jacket in the backpack as well. This pack can hold 3 liters of water or whatever you want to drink which is really nice too! It also has a quick release tube and an auto shut off valve to make sure you don’t leak all over yourself while drinking pretty fast lol. I also love that it has a lifetime replacement guarantee which is amazing because my husband has had to buy more than one of these (different brands) since we have been together because the “bladder” gets a leak.

Digital Meat Thermometer

This barbecue thermometer is so nice! The best part of it is that the wires are not plastic so they will last so much longer than the typical meat thermometer. My husband and I put one of these on our wedding registry and he was really disappointed to see that we didn’t look close enough online to see that the wires were plastic. I am super excited to give this to him for Christmas. I am sure the reading will be right as well, if not I will be updating my blog to let you know otherwise since this is really important. In particular, my husband likes to use this for his smoker, and since you can smoke meat all day, it’s really important to have a correct reading on your thermometer.

PREMIUM QUALITY WATERMELON SLICER

This watermelon slicer is pretty awesome! We used it the other night on half of a watermelon and it worked great! My husband actually really loves it and keeps talking about how great it is too. He liked cutting it into slices and being able to pull out each slice with the same tool. I like that it made bite sized pieces for me to snack on. I originally thought, man I don’t need another tool in the kitchen that I’ll never use (since I have a small kitchen), but actually this is a truly super nice tool to have handy. I am positive we are going to keep using it in the future.

Hypoallergenic Sleep Eye Mask Earplugs & Carry Pouch

I love this sleep mask and can honestly say that I don’t ever see myself buying a different sleep mask again (unless they come out with maybe a strapless one because that’d be awesome). I love this one so much because the mask has contoured areas for your eyes so that the mask isn’t directly against your eyelids. It also comes with a decent pair of ear plugs and a satin bag too which is nice. I used this mask to sleep under the stars last weekend and was able to sleep way later since it completely kept the morning daylight out. I would definitely recommend these to anyone (and I am probably going to buy my sister a set soon too since she liked them as well).

Omega 3, 6 & 9 Chewable Tablets for Dogs

My dog loves these! I’m starting to think he loves anything you’ll give him though lol. I have always given my dog vitamins and these are bigger than most other brands that I have given him in the past. He weighs about 30 pounds and the recommended dosage is 1 pill per day, which is nice so that I don’t have to break any in half for him to give him the right dosage. I have not seen a huge difference in his skin and coat yet, but I hope to do so since his neck has been itchy. Maybe this will help him either grow hair a little bit better on his neck or he at least might not be as itchy after a while of taking these (fingers crossed). I definitely recommend these if you are looking for a multi-vitamin that is beneficial for your dog’s skin and coat.

Below is him licking his lips at the very first one I gave him!

Hammock Strap Set

 I am so glad I got this hammock strap set! I was given an old hammock a while ago and have had it bungee corded between two trees in my backyard for a couple years now with carabiners (I guess you can call my husband MacGyver LOL). This set is a lot easier to assemble than the bungee cords and are extra-long (12 feet). These straps look so much nicer, and will be so much safer for my husband and I (and our dog). Each strap can hold up to 300 pounds (so 600 pounds total) and it also comes with two locking carabiners that can hold the same weight in a nice little bag. Each strap has different loops along the whole side of the strap so that however long you need the strap you can just attach the carabiner to the loop so there is no slack between the two trees and you don’t sink in the hammock. I definitely recommend this set, especially if you are using bungee cords like I was!

RFID 3 in 1 - Money Belt / Neck Pouch / Belt Stash

This RFID 3 in 1 money belt, neck pouch, wallet, belt stash is slim and lightweight, absolutely perfect for traveling! It always scares me that someone is going to steal my belongings and/or my identity, so traveling with all your important documents in this holder is really beneficial. I wouldn’t recommend wearing it on the plane if you’re traveling very far (I guess unless you wear it around your neck) because I’m sure it would get annoying after a while. It’s also really nice that it is waterproof if you’re traveling somewhere tropical because the second you step foot off the plane you’ll start sweating since you aren’t used to the humidity. You can also tell that it is made of really high quality materials. I definitely recommend this pouch if you’re doing any traveling soon.
