As a person who usually uses one, maybe two, products in my skincare routine, I was excited to try these out! I have been fortunate to only have occasional breakouts so my routine has worked fine though I know as I age, it will be more important to take care of my skin. What I really appreciated about this set is that it clearly outlines the steps and how to use each and every one. I have sensitive skin and did not break out using any of these products. 

1) Facial wash. This was a different texture (more creamy) than I am used to. However, I really enjoyed it. I ended up using WAY too much. A little amount goes a long ways with the cleaner. This also came with a grey protective cover on the top (that needed to be removed) to keep it nice and clean. 

2) Toner. Sometimes toner irritates my skin but this one did not. Easy to use. Definitely felt like my skin was dry after but it did not itch or burn much, if at all. 

3). Essence. I was not sure what this was particularly doing (as I have used other types of the products expect this one). It does have it listed on the bottle what it was doing but I could not particularly feel a difference. It did not sting at all. I tapped the bottle on my face then rubbed around my face with my hands. This step was fine but the least noticeable of its effect for me.

4) Emulsion. This was SO hard to get out of the bottle!!! I had to take off the top part and use my finger to scoop some out (after repeatedly trying tipping it upside down and tapping it to help gravity release it. However, once it was on, it felt really nice and nourishing! 

5)Target cream. This had the same covering as the first one (the grey tab you had to remove). It is smaller than the rest of the items but that makes sense. It did say that you could use it all over your face so I did that and had no stinging or irritation. I did notice that my pores all over my face looked HUGE after this...however, I am not sure if that was due to using this all over or not. 

Overall, my skin is clear and I experienced no stinging (which is rare with my sensitive skin). Directions and steps were easy to follow and implement. Pleased overall!

It has been interesting for me to see people drink similar amounts of alcohol but have very different reactions. Consequently, I was excited at the opportunity to review this product!

Overall, this is a fun and nice product to have. I tried this before I had alcohol and it correctly said 0%. Then I drank a wine cooler and right after blew (and got the red mark in the product listing). I was surprised by this and tried it again a minute later and it was around 0.34%.... Therefore, I think it best to not use RIGHT after having a drink for a false high report. The instructions are easy to follow. I like that they have colors when it's completed (blue if under/low and red for high). I LOVE that it comes with its own batteries. The tubes that you breath into are also individually wrapped, so that is really nice from a sanitary viewpoint. It also comes with a little bag that you can easily hold it as well as some of the wrapped tubes you breath into. Pleased overall! Easy to use.

I work with kids and many of them like to hold "fidgets" while we work. I am on the look-out for finding toys that are squishy (but not too squishy) to keep them focus and not distract them. These cats are the right balance of being 'squishable'. The back of the cats are flat and the front of them stick out. Consequently, some of my kids who have used these like to put the cats back-to-back so it makes it rounded on each side. They are fairly small (would prefer them to be about double the size) but the product image illustrated the size accurately. I would not give it to anyone who likes to mouth objects or may put it in their mouth, as it could be a choking hazard. However, for older kids these are cute and small fidgets that may help them stay focused while being cute at the same time. I keep them in the zipped bag they come in which is nice so I always know where they are. Fairly pleased overall.

Anyone who knows me, knows I am a huge dog person. I rescued my dog about 3 and a half years ago and made sure she has lived a life of safety and love (as well as of a queen) since. I have dog beds at my parents house as well as my apartment and am always looking for more...since she uses them all for her naps. 

Now my dog is 20 pounds, but she is part dachshund and likes sprawling out whenever possible. Consequently, I thought this jumbo bed was perfect for her. It was fluffy and allowed her to take up as much space as possible. 

When I took it out of the box and let it expand, my dog immediately started "fluffing" up the sides (see my instagram/Twitter video for evidence of this cuteness). I looked at the instructions and this was something they actually stated you should do! After that, I put this in the sun and my dog enjoyed laying in this in the sunshine. I also put it on my bed for her to have her area and me have mine, but instead she decided to crawl under the bed and partially next to me. The bed is lightweight enough that my dog could lift it up and easily get out when she wanted to go under it (must be her dachshund burrowing instincts) but I would be sure to watch your dog to make sure they could get out should they also like to go under things. 

All in all, I am very pleased with this bed. It is HUGE and can fit me in it (curled up in a ball) which is nice for anyone who has a bigger dog too. 

Very pleased with the quality of this. My dog loves it, and that is really the most important thing! :)

As I have gotten older, I have found a deep love and appreciation for compression socks. These are also cute which is a bonus. My sister-in-law collects socks so I have started to notice whether socks have an "appeal" to them and these are great fall every-day socks. They are professional yet I feel like they have a little bit of quirkiness to it (which I enjoy). Overall, these compression socks were good as I expected. They were easy to put on and felt snug/tight without feeling like I was losing circulation in my legs. I like to wear compression socks when I am going on long car or plane rides. I could put these on and then put my jeans over them and it worked well. Overall, everything I would expect and hope for in a compression sock pair. Very pleased.

I have seen so many youtube videos and facebook sponsored posts about "Hello Fresh" that I finally caved and ordered it for myself. Everyone had been saying such wonderful things about it on their posts.... UNFORTUNATELY this was definitely NOT my experience. This post is NOT sponsored nor would they want it to be...however, due to the deceptive positive reviews I felt it necessary to post about my experience using this. 

The smallest package you can get is for two people. I live by myself so I was hoping to have a cheaper price for one person but instead I just figured I would have leftovers to bring to work or a meal to heat-up for the next day--not a big deal. I chose the vegetarian option which was new so I was not allowed to pick specific meals, only if I wanted to skip an entire work or not. I did do the promotion that was 20$ off the first 3 boxes and free shipping. However, NO WHERE on the promotion did it say it was JUST free shipping for the first box. I even contacted a customer service individual beforehand who said it was for all three boxes. This was not the case and each month I had to jump through hoops to get this cost taken off and let them know their advertising was deceptive (I had screenshotted the ad--there was no small print).

While I did enjoy getting three meals a week in a box that had a freezer pack in it to maintain freshness, I did find that the directions were MUCH harder than they needed to be. It seemed to be for an amateur baker who wants to deceive people into thinking they are professional? Like spiral rolling zucchini? How about you just cut it into strips--way easier. I also gave a promotional coupon/referral discount to my mom who also independently stated the same thing (she chose a meat plan). She said she has been cooking a long time and found herself doing it her own way which saved a lot of time and worked just as well. 

A few times I had tomatoes that were the wrong type, items were missing, or an item was rotten. They were good when I took pictures of this and complained about this. They mainly just gave me a discount on my next "fully priced" meal--which was upsetting because I wanted to cancel and not keep this plan. Eventually, sometimes they did give me a discount on the box with the defective or missing item--but it took a lot of be fussing and complaining to get it fixed.

The meals were either a hit or miss. I did not like how all of the meals that involved the oven required a temp of 400+ degrees. I live in an apartment and this CONSISTENTLY made my smoke alarms go off. I ended up having to modify the meals because EVERY TIME it said it had to be cooked at this high temperature.

When I went to cancel, you had to call in person (not online). They asked why and I told them I was not satisfied. They did not question this and just said that okay and cancelled the membership. 

All in all, I would give this service 2/5 stars. Some of the meals were good but it took a long time and feel like the negatives far outweighed the positives of this. DO NOT TRUST THE SPONSORED POSTS. While my mom did not have as negative of an experience as I did, we both were left dissatisfied and disappointed. Would not recommend. 

I work and interact with many kids who have challenges with reading. It requires creativity to find ways to make something that is a challenging task--and all over wherever they go--to be fun + educational. This website has cute animations and graphics. Plus, it is on a computer so most kids will find that to be more fun than the "old fashion way" just using paper. I like that you can take a placement test at the beginning to see where the child falls and then go from there. It is fairly user friendly (a few times I had to look around to find where I wanted to go, but this was usually less than 1-2 minutes before I found it). Overall, this game would be a good supplement to encourage/facilitate reading. I do not think it can be a substitute for a therapist or reading specialist if there are more significant reading challenges. In particular, since it is marketed for those with "ASD" I think anyone should be mindful to just use this. Sometimes individuals on the spectrum have "hyperlexia" so they can read words but may have difficulty comprehending them. This is something I do not believe this website can alone address but a person trained in reading/decoding/language processing should. I also think it is still important for parents/adults to read to their kids and have that interaction. However, as a SUPPLEMENT I think this is excellent! Any way to get kids wanting to read and learn is good with me.

I have previously purchased a dinosaur taco holder, so when I saw the opportunity to review a UNICORN taco holder, I knew I wanted it! This came disassembled but was one of the easiest things to put together ever (and did have a note in there that it was this way on purpose). I think the product looked cuter than the post listing! The tacos likely have to be hard shelled, otherwise if you do soft shell it may have to be super super tiny/thin to fit in this. It is plastic so it does not feel super expensive, but I feel like it would be weird if your taco holder felt expensive? It just would not go with the vibe I think. This is just fun and makes you smile. Kind of a fun item to have out on the table or in the kitchen as well. I like quirky things, so my Unicorn Taco Holder may hang out with my dinosaur one in my kitchen as decoration when I am not using them. Overall, this makes me happy to have and like that it also serves a function besides just being cute.

My brother is getting married out of state this upcoming weekend, so this came at the perfect time as I start to pack! I have reviewed a few other things from this brand and have been super impressed with the quality and how often I use them. These were interesting because the top was a little bit different and helps prevent leakage of the product--which I thought was very helpful and unique. I also liked that at the top it has what the product was (such as "shampoo" which is helpful. In the pictures attached I tried to show these unique features so you could see for yourself too. The bottles are also silicone I believe and super flexible. Consequently, it is easy to squeeze out the liquid rather than other harder travel bottles where the last little bit is just impossible to get out. Finally, I also really appreciated that it came with a nice and clear carrying case with a zipper. I will definitely be using the zipped bag to hold these just in case something ends up opening or I put something on the bottles to squish them out. I'd rather not get shampoo on my stuff for the wedding... :). All in all, I was very surprised (in a good way) with these travel bottles. Everything I've tried from this company has been great quality and would highly recommend their products.

I have been intrigued by eye masks for a while. However, as someone in their late 20s, I did not think I was at the target age for these masks yet. Consequently, I had my mother review this with me so we could get our different experiences and opinions on the product!

The eye masks come with a little scooper and a protective cover on top. The ingredients are on the back...however it came with no instructions??? As someone who was new to eye masks, I found myself confused with what to do and how long to keep them on. I ended up going to the Amazon page and found the instructions there (to keep them on for 20 minutes). It did fairly easily stay in place (occasionally sliding down slightly) and was easy to put on and take off with no discomfort. 

I did not notice a difference on my eyes after the 20 minutes and my mom noticed a slight difference. 

I should also point out that for some reason the eye mask made my skin break out a little. I am not sure why, especially since my mom also has sensitive skin and she did not break out. I wonder if my skin is just not the ideal type to use these masks?  I am not sure. Overall, a fine experience on my end and a moderately positive experience from my mom. I'd recommend this for those 35-40+ years old due to the lack of difference observed with my skin. 

It currently retails for around 10$ and you get a 30 pairs in the tub.
