Test & Review: Tastmate Jar & Bottle Opener ....will it work for ME?

Tastmate Jar and Bottle Opener

A simple thing, being able to open a jar. But, honestly...not so much when you've got arthritis or other issues with your hands. Over the past couple of years I realize I have lost the strength I once had in my hands, not that I was super strong to start with. I find myself having trouble opening jars, especially jars of salsa....and that makes me sad. 

Needless to say, I was pretty happy to try this product out and see if it does all it should do. It's a simple design, made of a rust resistant stainless steel and a plastic handle. 

Well...presto! This handy gadget actually does work! 

Ok so the directions are in a bit of broken English, but it's not rocket-science. All you do is set the opener on top of the jar, and allow it to re-size itself to fit the lid...and turn it. Counter clock-wise! It did take me a few tries before I realized I was turning it the wrong way. So...counter clock-wise, and it comes off nice and easy. 

It's a simple little tool, but it's really come in handy. I didn't realize it would make opening a jar so much easier...and I don't have to cut the top off of salsa jars anymore! No more unopened jars!

Lip Monthly Bag - Unboxing & Review

Hey everyone! Today I bring you another subscription mystery box, or bag in this case. It's the Lip Monthly Bag for January, maybe? But there are items from last August (per their Instagram and website "past bags").

 Sooo, I dunno. My account says I am not getting another one until March? Honestly, I dunno, haha. Let's just get to the revealing, eh? 

Also, all prices are from what I found online, from the websites of the products' company, not from lipmonthly.com - as they do not have prices on the card inside the bag or on their website. 

So. It comes in a bright pink bubble mailer. Super cute, fit in my mailbox too!

Inside the bag, is the little bag. It's about 3 inches by 5 inches and some sort of canvas - it's pretty sturdy, so it's good for throwing into a purse or gym bag. Hi5!

The first item I pulled outta that little bag is a lipstick from MODEL CO, in the shade "tango pink". This is a nice matte pink color. I could not find anything about this lipstick on the MODEL CO webpage, so I assume this is a discontinued product. The brand is also sold at Walmart, so I can't even guess at the price. 

 It's a flat matte color, very nice. Looks well made...so it's all good to me. 

Next is this gloss from DOOP in the shade "Peak". This is a somewhat shimmery pink/coral gloss. Very nice, 'cause I love simmer. This looks to be a new brand, as their website is copywritten for 2020, and all items say "coming soon". Never tested on animals, so that's a huge bonus. Love this gloss...even if I can't find a price for it either...haha. 

The next TWO items (in the pic above) are a clear lip oil and a lip liner. 

The Lip Oil is from LUNA by LUNA, and its in the shade "Cosmo". It's a fairly thick oil, and goes on smooth. I don't notice a color tint, but its very glossy (haha, probably 'cause it's an oil". I did find a price for this one on their website: $18. Score. 

The lip liner is a pencil liner, which is in the shade "Poptart" is from KAB Cosmetics. It's a lovely coral shade. The KAB website does not have this specific shade sold alone, but it a large kit set. Similar pencils sell for $12. 

Ok so. Four items and a lil' bag. Retail estimated around $30-$40? It's a good deal, honestly. Regular price for this bag option: $12.95/mo. (cancel anytime). 

They also have a referral program, YOU get $5 off a bag with this link: CLICK THIS!

Overall, I do like this bag. I dunno if I will continue to get it for a long time, but maybe a few months. I would want to make sure I am getting different items every month, and that they aren't just sending out discontinued items they have bought from overstock sales. Even if they are, I don't mind too much...haha. I do love a good shimmery lip gloss!!!

....and we're back! ...First review: Mountain Dew - Zero Sugar

Product Review: Mountain Dew - Zero Sugar

So, yeah ...took some time off...and now I'm back with a very long to-do list for this blog. Too long, probably. I don't really know where to start; so I will be just jumping into it blinding and making everyone think I totally have it all planned out. 

I am trying not to drink sugary beverages. Soda...mmm yummy delicious soda...it is my largest vice...I love them so much. Diet sodas...*sigh*. They make me ugh...just..ugh. I WILL drink them, but I will complain and make faces at it the entire time. 
Soooo...magically, almost as if PepsiCo people KNEW I needed a high caffeinated sugar-free beverage....*cue angelic music*--- Mountain Dew Zero Sugar was released (Jan 13th)!

I buy one...just to try. I assumed it would be a diet version like the other sugar free versions of sodas and it will be yucky and make me unhappy. It has the familiar green glow of the original Mt. Dew that has brightened so many peoples mornings over the years. But...how does it taste?

I sip. *one eyebrow goes up*. I sip more...and then more. It's yummy...how? I don't care how...I drink the 20 oz bottle in a 20 minutes...whatever. It's now my new go-to soda!! It has almost the exact same flavor as the original Dew, and with the 113mg of caffeine per 20oz...they've sold me without even trying. Wooo! 

I give this product a 10/10. I have no negatives to add.
