Bumble Road Bath Bombs

Amazon Link

Webpage

This amazing set of FOUR bath bombs can be found on Amazon HERE, and I gotta say...these are the best I have tried. They are large, tennis ball sized bath bombs - SOLID, not hollow (see the end of this post, where I take a hammer to one). 

MY video can be found HERE. 

BumbleRoad gives you these four LARGE bath bombs, that take about 3 full minutes (or more) to completely dissolve and fizz away into your bath water. Left behind is a lovely scented bath (and entire room), that will leave your skin soft and your mood lightened. 

All of these fizzies are made with essential oils and contain epsom salts and shea butter. 

The first that we tried, was the Really Rose bath bomb. The scent alone was enough for me!! Fantastic light rose smell and it even leaves little rose petals in the bath water! I took a video (not posted in full) of the duration of how long this bath bomb took to dissolve, and it really was over 3 minutes!! 

Next is the Orange Creamsicle, which my son actually liked a lot. It has a hint of a sweet orange scent, but was not very strong - so my son was happy he didn't smell like perfume. 

  

Next was the Lucious Lavender, which I loved since Lavender is my favorite scent. This bath bomb lightly tinted the water, though you can't see it since by bathtub is blue. The scent was light for this one as well, but perfect.

Then I smashed one. I had to find out if they were hallow, or if the center was filled with "filler". So, I took a hammer and smashed it. Results: its a solid ball of awesome! The scent on Yellow Grapefruitilicious is my favorite, it smells like ...well...clean. Kind of soapy, with a hint of citrus. 

These bath bombs from BumbleRoad are a huge hit with my whole family, and I am seriously impressed with the quality. 

Head over to Amazon *HERE* and stock up! Christmas is coming, and it's always good to have some gifts ready - just in case!

Product Review: Zest Paws Anti-Itch SHAMPOO for pets!

Product Review:

Zest Paws Oatmeal Anti-Itch Shampoo

(for pets)

Product Link: Here

Hey everyone! Last week I did a review for Zesty Paws' Oatmeal Anti-Itch CONDITIONER, this time we tried the SHAMPOO.

Similar to the conditioner, the shampoo has a sweet oatmeal scent. This shampoo is clear, but not too thin (yay, for high quality!).  It bubbles up nicely and makes a great lather with a small amount, and rinses off very easily. 

My dog doesn't care for baths, but she tolerated this very well. I think the calming sweet scent helped. After her bath, her fur was soft and it did a great job at cleaning without leaving much of that sweet smell behind. 

I DID notice she wasn't scratching as much as she had been, this could also be due to being clean--but her skin is very sensitive, so I do feel the shampoo did it's job. 

Great shampoo, great quality...I do recommend this for dogs AND cats. Though I haven't tried it on MY cat, yet. 

Get yours HERE on Zesty Paws.

Product Review: INNX Quilted Cargo Liner

Product Review: 

INNX Quilted Cargo Liner 

(For standard SUV)

Amazon Link: Here. 

*Please visit the Amazon link above for exact measurement details. My vehicle is a Ford Explorer. As results may vary based on make and model of your vehicle - ensure this item will fit YOUR vehicle before purchase by taking measurements*

I like to go places, and do things - so the cargo area of my SUV gets used a LOT. Since that area is near impossible to GET clean - I want to keep it clean! A cargo liner is a fantastic idea for anyone with pets or kids...or anyone that plans on actually using the cargo area of their SUV. 

So, firstly...if you drive an SUV or anything that has a large open space for items - you know how easy those items move around while you drive. It's often a mystery when you get home, to see if your groceries and other items have survived the trip intact -- or if you have a mess to clean up. 

Many people store their extra oil/antifreeze and other vehicle maintenance items in the back - what happens when they drip or leak!?! I think every vehicle I have ever owned has an oil stain in the truck/cargo area! This cargo liner - prevents that! 

A cargo liner protects your cargo area from spills, leaks, accidents and overall dirtiness that may happen! 

So, of course I had to get my kid and my dog to try it... 

His eyes are closed because he's a silly child. But, as you can see...the liner stays in place even though my son and our dog are out and in a few times for pictures. 

This liner is quilted, with three layers of fabric (two layers of a waterproof durable polyester, with a soft filling layer in the middle). This makes the liner durable, waterproof ...and a comfy for your pet (or kids). 

The liner has strategically places velcro strips to keep it in place. There are strips on the bottom (built in) to grab your vehicles carpet, and then the sides have velcro strips you can use (sticky tape). It also comes with two buckles to fasten to the back seat. 

And look! A pocket for stuff!

Here's my son...looking for the stuff...HAHA!   

Just look at the dog fur and dirt just from them climbing into the back for a few minutes!! This saves me having to climb back there to vacuum! 

Protect your cargo area before it's too late!

Product Review- Konjac Activated Charcoal Sponge

Product Review - Konjac Activated Charcoal Sponge from Pooter's Cache

Video: Here.

Amazon Link: Here.

*click photos to enlarge*

This sponge is a facial and body sponge made from Konjac powder and activated bamboo charcoal. It's natural with no chemicals, or added preservatives. 

The first use (right from the package) use can be seen in my video! Check the video out here! After the video, I allowed the sponge to dry! Below is what it looked like. 

It kinda looks like a lump of charcoal! Then you just add water again, and it returns to its soft, spongy state!

This little sponge does not leave residue and is fairly resiliant, and doesn't seem like it will ever fall apart. When it's time to get a new one (every 2-3 weeks is recommended)- it's Biodegradable!

Add some soap, and it bubbles just like any other sponge would!

Use this sponge to clean your face - it helps cleanse pores and restore the PH balance of your skin.

Product Review: Le Gusto Kitchen Shears

Product Review: Le Gusto's Heavy Duty Kitchen Utility Shears

Product Link: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01N6DYYRL

My product test video: HERE

These shears...or scissors, as they could be called - have various uses. Firstly, the micro serrated edge gives you a textured "blade" to scale fish, which will come in handy while using the scissors to cut off the fins and whatnot. Also, a bottle opener is built into the non-serrated blade (see below photo). 

On the handles you can find a nut cracker/bottle opener, as well (see photo below). 

I tried these shears on everything I had in my kitchen...and some stuff laying around my house. Check out my VIDEO for more of that.  They work great at cutting items you would normal not want to touch - like raw meats and chicken - and hot peppers! 

I also used them on cardboard (opened the evil packing tape on a package), I cut plastic bottles, used them on various other tasks around the house. Then, I went back and cut more veggies -- and they are still just as sharp! 

*photo above*...how annoying is it to open the bacon packages!?!? These shears win just for that one purpose, honestly! Haha!

Everything in the baggy in the above picture was cut with Le Gusto's Shears. It's a snack size ziplock back - and its the veggie filling for a calzone! 

Be sure to check out my video for 'show and tell' of these great utility shears!  Then run over to Amazon HERE, and get yourself a pair...or two! They aren't just for the kitchen - use them everywhere - even in the garden!

*Also, stay tuned for a recipe using these shears, coming soon!*

Product Review: Zesty Paws Pet Conditioner

Product Review: Zesty Paws Oatmeal Anti-Itch Pet Conditioner

Product Link: https://zestypaws.com/collections/our-collection/products/pet-conditioner

With the summer heat, and the bugs that plague the entire outdoors - our dog has managed to rub the fur off her backside trying to scratch the inevitable itch. So, I am always on the look-out for anything that will give her a bit of relief from the "skritches". 

This conditioner is from Zesty Paws, not only helps soothe the itchy skin that many pets feel at various times during the year, but it also smells fantastic. Ingredients include aloe, oatmeal and shea butter - all of which are fantastic for soothing, moisturizing and healing irritated skin. 

The conditioner is thick, as you can see in the picture below - this product is not watery and therefor it's high quality and a little amount goes a long way.

The results are great, leaving my dogs' fur soft and smelling like sweet oatmeal. Her skin seems to be softer as well, and she didn't try to scratch herself at all after her bath! 

One more side note:  This product is specifically made for PETS. Although, my daughter loves the smell so much - she wants to use it on her hair.

Product Review: Riwbox IN5 Foldable Headphones

Product Review: Riwbox IN5 Foldable Headphones 

Amazon Link HERE

Unboxing Video HERE

These Riwbox headphones are not only foldable, but they come with a handy little bag to keep them in, and the cord has a built in mic!

The above two photos are of the headphones inside the bag, as you can see they fit perfectly when folded. You could even stick your cell phone in there. Included in the box are the headphones, bag, the cord and a small instruction booklet. *see the unboxing video*

The headphones come with a cord, that is 1.2m long -or about 47inches according to Google. The jack is 3.5MM . This is compatible with most devices - it worked on my smartphone (Samsung), my laptop, my MP3 player, and a tablet we have. I assume this is one of the most common jacks, so it should work with the majority of music/video devices. 

The cord also has an option for controlling various options. There are buttons for volume and the play button can be used to pause and play music. I tried this with my Smartphone and it worked perfectly. It's a very handy thing to have, honestly - I don't have to fiddle with my phone to turn it up or down, I just press a button on my cord! 

The ear pieces are soft, they refer to them as "protein earpads". I call them soft and squishy, and they form a nice seal around the ear to block out a large amount of outside sounds. 

The head band also has cushion on the under-side and they are very comfortable to wear. The sides are adjustable, so you can make them larger if you need to. They are a lightweight alloy, yet are sturdy enough to last a long time if properly cared for. 

I do recommend these headphones - I compared these to a pair I recently got from Walmart of similar design (and about the same price). The sound is MUCH better and these headphones are far more comfortable to wear. The storage bag and cord with built in controls is an added bonus!

Product Review: Cobiz Hot Glue Gun

Product Review - Cobiz Industrial Glue Gun 

Product Link: HERE

It's crafting time! This glue gun is pretty epic, and not for the faint of heart. This is a large sized glue gun and it comes with 5 industrial glue sticks (which are much are much larger than your normal glue sticks). 

*This hot melt glue gun comes with 5, 11 mm glue sticks.

This tip is copper and a fine tip, so the glue comes out evenly and smooth - but not too much at once. This glue gun can be used as 60W or 100W depending on your project. The 60W option is for your basic projects; such as building a bird house out of wooden sticks or other craft projects that need to be well structured. 

100W usage is for the projects that require the glue to be much more hot-- such as applying to finished and unfinished wood, glass and plastic. I should mention here that this 100W option is HOT, super hot. The glue was steaming when it came out! 

Typical usage would not require the 100W option, but it does come in handy for some projects. 

Here's a short video showing it in action. 

Overall, this is a fantastic hot melt glue gun from Cobiz. Even the glue is great, and I had no problems at all using the gun or glue. It heats up within a minute or two and stays hot. I did not use the 100W option for more than 10 minutes - so I can no be sure if it keeps hot for extended time. I wouldn't recommend keeping the glue gun on 100W for a long time anyway, though.

Product Review: HSI Glider Ceramic Flat Iron

Product Review: HSI Glider Ceramic Flat Iron

Find it HERE!

HSI Professional has been around for years. I tried their Argan Oil back in 2015, you can see my review for that HERE. It was fantastic! So, I had high hopes for this Flat Iron...they didn't let me down!! This Flat Iron is the best ever. 

Firstly, the exact Flat Iron in this review is a 1" Ceramic Flat Iron and can be found HERE. There are others to choose from and a ton of products that go with it...so be sure to roam around the whole website. 

This flat iron has something called 'HeatBalance' micro sensors (4 on each of the ceramic plates) that help to regulate the temperate. This 'HeatBalance' keeps the plates an even temperature, so you don't have to go over your hair as many times - which saves on hair damage. Temps can be adjusted from 140-450°F! Start lower and work your way up until you find the temp that is right for you!

The plates *see left* have curved edges, so that you can also use this flat iron to add curls, or waves. Multi-tasking at it's best!



The ultimate test...my daughters hair. She has super thick, long hair that is overly time consuming to flat iron...

Click the picture to make it larger! This Flat Iron from HSI did amazing on her hair!!! Look at those results! It only took about 15 minutes, and it kept it's "flat" until she washed it the next day! I really am amazed at how fast it was! 

Why not try it for yourself? Or maybe something else from HSI!?
