Salt and Pepper Grinder Set by Choosy Chef – Set of 2

Salt and Pepper Grinder Set by Choosy Chef – Set of 2 Refillable Salt and Pepper Shakers
by Choosy Chef

I'm happy to give this product 5 out of 5 stars! I love these grinders! They are adjustable, easy to fill, easy to use and versatile. For the price and durability I don't see myself buying any other grinders for my needs. I've put all sorts of whole spices and course salts in them and they do not disappoint. Plus they are quite classy looking in a clean simplistic way and you can never go wrong with stainless steel, which just adds to the fact that this product is a winner! If I could give these more than five stars I would!

Wool Dryer Balls

Wool Dryer Balls - XL - Extra Large - 100% Natural Premium Organic by Sheep Soft 
Set of 6 - Cost $12.99 

They arrived on time and packaged well so I have no complaints there. For that, the webstore receives 5 out of 5 shipping packages from me. 

Now on to whether or not I feel this product is Cart Worthy or not...

I'm okay with these dryer balls but I’m not sure if I’m ready to give up dryer sheets just yet. They do seem to aid in drying time while simultaneously diminishing wrinkles but man are they noisy. Like wake you up from a nap thinking that people are trying to break in noisy. Sounds a lot like tennis shoes in the dryer to be honest. On top of the noise, they also don’t work very well on static cling.

The product came with no instructions (do I need to use 2 at a time? 4? all 6? Do the balls themselves need any sort of care?) so I had to guess on everything and we settled on 4 in the dryer at a time. Yes, there are some instructions in the ad on Amazon where I purchased them but what if I had sent these as a gift? I’d have assumed instructions some sort were included even if it was just a mere slip of paper that said: “Put 4 to 6 balls in your dryer per load. If product is wet, dry in machine or in direct sunlight. Do not store wet.” But this product came with nothing. Also, we tried using essential oils on them and thus far have not noticed our clothing smelling any different.

Pros:
Does speed up drying time
All natural
Reusable 


Cons:
Noisy
No instructions
Doesn’t do much for static cling


I find these dryer balls to be a decently made product but I’m not giving up my dryer sheets for them. In my humble opinion I’d have to give these Wool Dryer Balls three out of five shopping carts and overall, I’d leave these on the virtual shelf, they are not a going home with me cart worthy item.

Peppermint Essential Oil 4oz - Review

Peppermint Essential Oil 4oz (Huge Size) 100% Pure Therapeutic Grade Pre Blended with Unscented Fractionated Coconut Oil (FCO) by Island’s Miracle 

by Island's Miracle

Talk about a lot of bang for your buck...huge jar for the cost! The coconut and peppermint smells mix well together so neither is overpowering. I see many and various uses for this in my household from colds to bug control to laundry. Some seem to have had an issue with the fact that it is already mixed with a carrier oil but it was stated clearly in the ad, which means I expected it and was fine with it. I think it’s perfect for use in lotions, soaps and laundry. 

Not sure if I'd recommend this for diffusing as the smell wasn't really prominent when we tried it.

Overall, I rate this product 4 out of 5 stars overall.

TraveT Stainless Steel Lid and Spoon Rest

TraveT Stainless Steel Lid and Spoon Rest Storage Cooking Tool
by TraveT


We love this item! It solves a timeless cooking dilemma with an added spoon rest! No more stove tops covered in lid condensation. No more looking for space where there is none. I highly recommend this to anyone who loves to cook.


I might even get a second one for when I do holiday cooking! 

Functions as advertised and expected, one step assembly and cleanup is a breeze! You can't ask for more.

**NOTE** if you have Square lids (like on the copper skillets) it can be a it tricky to get them balanced.

Rock Car Mount Adjustable GPS Bracket Air Vent Phone Holder for Smartphones - Golden 
By ROCK 

This phone holder was just what the doctor ordered! My husband had a magnetic one he adored but

once he got a new phone it wouldn't attached to that any longer. He looked like a real lost puppy with no way to mount his phone to the dashboard so it would be near eye level. This car mount put the pep back in his step. It was easy to install (one step - clip to vent and Voilà ) it stays put (which was my major concern with this item) and it is easily adjustable.

I highly recommend this to anyone that uses their phone for GPS or music while on the move.

5 out of 5 stars overall. I have zero issues with this item. No Cons to report. 

The Last Remnant -Xbox 360 by Square Enix

The Last Remnant -Xbox 360 by Square Enix

This game has a lot of potential but in my opinion it needs some work so overall I gave it 3 out of 5 stars. If you're thinking about buying this game I implore you to consider what it is you really like about RPG’s then go on online and look up some gameplay footage to see how it this game plays out firsthand. When it comes to video games, I think it’s better to watch videos as opposed to only reading reviews (especially when the game is an older one so there's lots of input about it already online). I bought this with a lot of excitement in my heart unfortunately after only a few hours of gameplay I found myself yawning and I have to say I’m more than a bit disappointed in this. 

The opening of the game did grab my interest a little… and only a little and all this talk of Remnants kinda makes you curious but it is no Final Fantasy so don’t go in thinking you’ll get that kind of gameplay or storyline out of this game. The graphics are decent most of the time (a little glitchy at others). The battle system is okay but leaves a bit to be desired. You pick a command but it is super general (You don’t get to choose fire, steal, blades of fury, etc. Just choose magic or combat, use heal, or wing it) the characters act as a big confusing group, then your opponent's attack as another group, and then it’s your turn again. I won't go into any more detail than that. Like I said in the beginning, it has potential but in my humble opinion it needs some work to be truly gratifying to hard core RPG lovers like myself.
