Product Reviews: 4-Port USB Wall Charger + 5-Port USB Desktop Charger #PortUSBWallCharge #WC5P40W5PortUSB


Electric outlets are a precious commodity in our house. It was built in 1955 when there was not such a need for multiple outlets in each room. If we acquire a new gadget that needs to be plugged in, chances are that we have to unplug something else to make room for it. So these chargers that I received to review are such a big help to us.


The 4-Port USB Wall Charger with SmartLiz Technology plugs directly into the outlet. It has a blue LED power indicator & has 2 universal ports + 2 super charger ports. I plugged it in (don't judge my wall outlet that has no cover, we're getting ready to paint) & was able to charge my tablet, bluetooth speaker, phone & a portable charger simultaneously. I keep this wall charger near my laptop when I'm working so that I can quickly & conveniently keep all of my devices charged & handy. The AC prongs flip down so that it easy to pack so you can take it with you when you travel. 


I also received the 5-Port USB High Speed Desktop Charger. This product plugs into the electric outlet with a detachable power cord & also has a blue LED power indicator so that you know it is plugged in & charging. I can charge the same devices that I charged with the 4-Port charger plus a portable power bank. This charger will accommodate up to 2.4 amps per port. We keep this charger in the bedroom on a nightstand so that we can charge devices overnight & unplug them first thing every morning.


Both of these chargers have SmartLiz Technology which "detects your device to deliver its fastest possible charge speed" so that you can charge any combination of devices. They are both guaranteed to be safe & are made with UL certified designs, industry grade materials & premium circuitry to ensure superior performance & reliability. And they both come with an 18-month Warranty.

You can purchase both of these space-saving chargers on Amazon.

Product Review: Toddler / Travel Pillow with Pillowcase

Whether you've got a toddler in the house or not, this is a great little pillow! It is cuddly soft & so comfortable to lay your head on. It is 13" by 18" with a medium 7 ounce polyester fill & it comes with it's own little pillowcase that fits perfectly. No more trying to use a regular pillowcase on your toddler's pillow.


This sweet little pillow is designed for children ages 2 & up. It is the perfect size to keep their head & neck properly aligned in a natural position for a good night's sleep. But let me tell you, it's great for adults too! This pillow is the perfect travel pillow for those summer road trips or to take with you when you fly. This is so much more comfortable than anything the airline will provide.


The pillow cover is 300 thread count cotton & the sateen pillowcase is 250 thread count. Both are machine washable in cold water & can be tumbled dry. Just toss a clean tennis ball or a wool dryer ball into the dryer with the pillow & it will stay fluffy. All materials are 100% hypoallergenic so they will not irritate your skin or aggravate any allergies.

Product Review: Expandable Bamboo Storage Tray #FulmarBambootray


The drawers in my kitchen where I store utensils & silverware are pretty much a mess. In the drawer where I store my silverware, I do have one of those plastic organizer trays but there is nothing attractive about it. But since it is stored in a drawer & the drawer is always closed, I haven't really thought much about replacing it. But then....this Expandable Bamboo Storage Tray from Fulmar came into my life!


First, let me tell you that this tray is beautiful! It's made of natural & eco-friendly bamboo. It is also HUGE! It is 18 5/8" by 16 1/8" x 2" with 6 silverware compartments & a knife block. But then it expands another 3" on each side with long compartments for kitchen utensils. It has rubber pads on the bottom at all four corners so that the tray won't slip & slide around in the drawer. It is very sturdy & the expanding sides slide out easily. 


This storage tray looks so modern & sleek that it really shouldn't be hidden away in a drawer! I tried it first with my silverware but I really love using it to better organize my kitchen utensil drawer. I love organizers but this has got to be my favorite. And the fact that it is made with a self-generating natural resource makes it even better! I'm all for anything that will help make my environment more "green".

You can purchase this beautiful Expandable Bamboo Storage Tray on Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00RWC25FC/ref=sr_ph?ie=UTF8&qid=1432057855&sr=1&keywords=Expandable+Bamboo+storage+tray

Product Review: Eco-Friendly BPA Free Sports Water Bottle #Mindbody


One of the easiest things that I do to try to stay healthy is drinking water every day. I try to drink at least 64 ounces or more daily. When I'm at home, it's easy to do because I just get water from the tap on the fridge. When I'm away from home I usually take a few disposable plastic bottles with me. I always try to remember to bring them home & use them again, but they usually end up in the recycling bin. So I really like these Eco-Friendly BPA Free Sports Water Bottles from MindBody that I received to test & review.


I know that there are reusable water bottles because I've owned a few. A couple were hard plastic & they eventually cracked so they were no longer usable & the other was "shatterproof" glass that broke. But I had no idea that there are reusable water bottles that I can roll right up & put in my jacket pocket or backpack once they are empty! These are the coolest water bottles I've ever seen!


When the package arrived, the bottles were rolled up & held in place with a plastic loop that is attached to the bottle. As soon as I took the top off, the bottle expanded & filled itself with air which made it really easy to fill with water. The bottle caps flip up for drinking & screw off for filling. These bottles hold 20 ounces of liquid so by just drinking both of them I'm over halfway to my daily quota of water. And the carabiner clip makes it easy to attach them to a belt loop or backpack when we go camping, hiking or just walking on our local walking trails.

I love the pink color! It also helps me keep these bottles for myself....hubby doesn't want to use pink products! These bottles are made of FDA Approved food grade silicone & are BPA Free. They are dishwasher, microwave & freezer safe. They are portable, foldable & I have not had a problem with either of them leaking. And they definitely won't break!

You can purchase these Eco-Friendly BPA Free Sports Water Bottles in sets of 2 blue, 2 pink or a set with one of each color on Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/Eco-friendly-Foldable-Collapsible-Silicone-Sports/dp/B00U89JNII/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top?ie=UTF8

Sentey Brio Power Bank Portable Charger Review

Let me tell you about another product that I received to review from Sentey. This one is their Brio Power Bank Portable Charger.

This is a lipstick-size portable charger that is compatible with just about any device that you own. It is very lightweight & easy to carry in my purse or jacket pocket when we're away from home so that we never go without power.


This portable charger came fully charged so it was ready to go as soon as I received it. I got the black charger & I like the design as well as the fact that it is a matte finish so it doesn't show signs of wear. It comes with a 6" USB cable or you can use one that you already have. It also comes with a black drawstring storage/travel bag. It's very handy for when we travel because the cable is always in the bag with the charger & I don't have to search for it in our luggage.

Everyone can always use a portable charger or two around the house with all of the devices that we have these days & this is a good one to keep on hand. You can purchase the Sentey Brio Power Bank Portable Charger on Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/Lipstick-sized-Flashlight-Compatibility-Thunderbolt-Incredible/dp/B00OHWX2ZW/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top?ie=UTF8

PURGGO Car Eco-Purifier Review #purggo


If you're like me, you've tried a lot of different products to keep your vehicle smelling fresh. We've tried the air fresheners that hang from the mirror, the type that clip onto the AC vents, the canisters with holes in the top that you just keep under the seat, air freshener sprays & just about anything else that we've run across. They all work for a few weeks or a month, but then they need to be replaced. This PURGGO Car Eco-Purifier is advertised to last for 365 days in your car. That's a whole year!!


This Car Eco-Purifier is different from all those other car fresheners because it doesn't just disguise or cover up the stale odors in your car, it absorbs & eliminates them. This product is sustainably made of 100% bamboo charcoal & the outer cover is made with hemp. These are two of the most renewable natural resources & neither require any artificial fertilizer to grow. The bamboo charcoal is like a big sponge which traps the odors & purifies the air. All you have to do is put your Car Eco-Purifier in the direct sunlight for at least an hour once a month to remove excess moisture so that it continues to work with optimal odor elimination.


I have used this eco-purifier in two of our vehicles. First, I put it in our car for a week & was happy that the air just smelled fresh every time we got in instead of having an artificial fragrance that doesn't really smell real. Then I put it in my son's truck because he leaves food, shoes, clothes & odd bits of trash in there so it's not very pleasant when I have to ride with him. I specifically told him not to clean out the cab of the truck but just leave everything like it was & see what effect the eco-purifier would have. I was very impressed that this product helped the odors! Now it's time to take it out & let it recuperate in the sunshine before we put it back in there. I was skeptical at first because I didn't think that anything except a thorough scrubbing would make that truck smell good again but this Car Eco-Purifier has done the job!

This product is fragrance-free, allergen-free, all natural & non-toxic. Since we all suffer from seasonal allergies, this is exactly the type of product that we love!

So stop buying those artificial fragrances to just cover up the odors in your car & switch to a product that will eliminate them. You'll also save money because you won't be buying refills or replacements every month.

Multi Binder Reusable Plant Tie Review #reusableplanttie


Each Spring we plant something new in our backyard & whether we're planting flowers, veggies or tress, we always come across a new challenge to keep our plants alive & thriving. These Multi Binder Reusable Plant Ties that I received to review can help with a few of those challenges.


These reusable plant ties come in a package of 5 & you can choose from several different sizes. I got the 1/3" by 7" size & they are perfect for what we need. There are two longer sizes: 1/3" by 10.25" and 1/2" by 10.25". These plant ties are made of rubber & will stretch as your plant or tree grows without damaging the stem or trunk. They are adjustable & will hold tight once you have set it. These plant ties are weatherproof from -20 degrees to +150 degrees.


These are so easy to use. Just wrap the plant tie around the stake or plant cage & feed it through the first buckle. Then wrap it around your plant or tree & pull it through the 2nd buckle. Pull to tighten it & that's it! We have used these to keep our small Syringa tree growing straight until it is larger, to keep our tomato plants from drooping, to attach Honeysuckle & Trumpet Vines to a trellis. The green color blends in nicely & the ties are not even noticeable.

You can purchase the Multi Binder Reusable Plant Tie on both eBay & Amazon.
