Heka Living Essential Oil Diffuser Review

Heka Living brings the highest quality and most affordable products to your home to make life easy, beautiful, and healthy. –Heka Living

The Heka Living Diffuser is more than just a beautiful diffuser, it’s also a humidifier, night-light, and 12 or 24 hour LED clock. If left unplugged for an extended period the clock will need to be reset.

400ml Water Tank

The unit has a 400ml capacity (BPA free) tank with an automatic shut-off when it gets low on water.  There are four adjustable timer settings 30, 60, 120, and 180 minutes. It will “chirp” to let you know when you need to add more water.

2.4 MHz Ultrasonic Diffusing Technology

This diffuser uses a 2.4 MHz Ultrasonic Diffusing Technology that will not destroy or alter the therapeutic benefits of your essential oils. The ultrasonic waves instantly vaporize the essential oils and water into a cool mist for better bodily absorption and dispersion of the  essential oil aroma.

The Heka Living diffuser creates a great deal of mist while being very quiet. I like that I can choose different timer settings. Some oils should only be diffused for short periods of time.  I can set the 30 minute timer and not worry about how long it’s been running, or if I am in bed I don’t have to get up and turn it off.

The Heka Living diffuser is a little larger than some of the other diffusers being sold. But, the diffuser’s simple yet beautiful design can be easily used anywhere. Quiet enough not to disturb anyone while working or sleeping. The power cord is almost 5 ft long giving you flexibility in where you put it. The  light can be dimmed or turned completely off. It comes in a beautiful box ready to gift, but you will probably want to keep it for yourself.

Dashboard Cell Phone Holder Review

iForaa Cell Phone Holder

for iPhone 6 6S Plus 5S 5C 4S, Samsung Galaxy S7 S6 S5 S4 S3 Edge Note 2 3 4 5,Nexus,HTC,LG ,GPS Device

I was sent this cell phone holder for free in exchange for my honest review.  

I am having a little trouble deciding on how many stars to give this phone holder on my Amazon review and here on my blog. I had quite a bit of trouble getting the phone holder to stick to my dashboard. I removed the sticky gel pad and flipped it over to see if the other side was more sticky. As it turns out it was more sticky. I was able to get the phone holder to stick to my dash. YAY!

I check it the next day and it seemed like it was stuck pretty good. I drove around and did a few errands and it stayed in place and was very useful.  There are two groves in the holder where you can adjust the tilt of your phone or GPS. You can do this easily with one hand as stated in the description on Amazon.

My iPhone 6 Plus with a case fit perfectly in the phone holder. My case makes my phone too big for some other cell phone holders I have tried. So, that is a plus that my phone fit.

In the description on Amazon it says,

  • Strong Sticky Silicone Gel is REUSABLE (Simply use water clean away dust from the adhesive gel pad before reusing)

I didn’t have much luck with removing the holder from my dash and t getting it to stick to the dash again. I washed it water, like suggested, and it still would not stick. I wiped it really well with an alcohol wipe and it still was not going to stick to my dash again.

See everything in my video review

 

But, I really like using the cell phone holder in the house on my desk or my nightstand,  anywhere I want to stand my phone up. This is very convenient for using FaceTime or Tango. I like watching YouTube videos etc, and I can do that hands free, and still be able to see the screen.

IMG_1062

So this is my dilemma. As a car dashboard cell phone holder I would have to give a low star rating. As a phone holder where is doesn’t have to use the sticky gel, it’s  great.  Since this review is for a dashboard car mount I will have to go with the 2 stars.

Expert Chef Potato Ricer Review

Expert Chef Potato Ricer

I love being a Grandma and helping my daughter take care of my grandson. It’s very important to us that he has a healthy diet including lots of fresh and organic fruits and veggies. Elliot, my grandson, is ten months old so he still needs to eat soft foods like potatoes. I was really grateful to get a chance to try out this commercial grade Potato Ricer so I could make some homemade baby food for him.

The potato ricer can rice potatoes, carrots, turnips, cauliflower, pumpkin, butternut squash, parsnips and many more fruits and vegetables according to the Amazon description. I made some boiled potatoes and put them in the ricer and beautiful fluffy potatoes came out of the Ricer, I mixed them with a little formula and a tiny bit of organic butter and pink Himalayan salt and Elliot loved them! That was easy. Then I tried to rice some cooked broccoli, which was not on the list of veggies from Expert Chef, and that did not work out very well. The broccoli was too fibrous and all the Potato Ricer really did was squeeze the juice out. I am looking forward to trying out different fruits and veggies. I think I may try some cooked apples to make an applesauce with a little cinnamon.

If you have any healthy baby food recipes you think I should try out leave me a comment below.

 

Check out my YouTube video of me using the Potato Ricer.

 

 

Reasons I Love My Expert Chef Potato Ricer

  • highest quality 18/10 Stainless Steel

  • commercial grade

  • used by proffesionals 

  • heavy duty

  • 25% larger chamber

  • 3 different size hole discs

  • baby food disc

  • enhanced ergonomically designed soft grip handles

  • non-slip handles that absorb pressure while ricing

  • non-slip knob

  • easy to clean – dishwasher safe

  • 100% manufacturer warranty

Snoutstik Nose Balm For Dogs Review
Zander is 14 yrs old and gets a very dry nose, but after using Snoutstik a few days his nose looks much better.

 

I was sent the Pumpkin Snoutstik to review. My sweet Zander is getting so old that his nose dries out and becomes crusty and full of dirt. I couldn’t wait to try the Snoutstik Nose Balm out on his sweet little nose. It was very easy to apply since it comes in a tube like lip balm, just twist the bottom of the tube and the balm will advance out the top for easy application. The Pumpkin Snoutstik is good for sensitive skin and contains Vitamins A, C, Shea Butter, Sweet Almond Oil and Jojoba Seed Oil which makes the stick very emollient and just glides on his tender skin.  Zander loves his Snoutstik and his nose feels and looks so much better.

Pilates for Dancers DVD Review

Pilates for Dancers DVD Review

by SalsaCrazy

 

Pilates for Dancers is designed for anyone that would like to attain the dancer’s body. Pilates for Dancers was born of the idea that the dancer’s body and physique is beautiful, graceful, and lithe. At the same time, it is an attainable beauty, given the proper exercise routine and discipline.

This video has a great, limbering warm up routine, followed by over 20 explicitly broken down, step-by-step, instructions that anyone can follow. This video progresses in stages so that even absolute beginners will have no problem following along. Geared towards beginners, a lot of time is spent on explanation and proper repetition, so you get the most out of your workout.

Multiple angles make sure you don’t miss any of the important alignment, or subtle movements, Pilates can get us into. 

While this video does a great job explaining each movement, it is a little slow-paced. The slow pace may be because this video is for beginners and they want to make sure that everyone understands everything about the new exercise being demonstrated.

The set is very plain without any flashy decorations or music and there are no other people in the video besides the instructor. This is a very good reference video to learn the different Pilates exercises, but I enjoy a little faster pace with some upbeat music and maybe a few more people in the video doing the exercises  demonstrating the different levels of beginner to advanced for the movements.

  • Strongest Hose Available at 100-PSI (Pounds Per Square Inch) Working Pressure

  • 100% Money Back Guarantee For A Risk Free Buying Experience

 

I had the opportunity to review this hose for my blog. I really didn’t know what to expect because I have never tried one of these type hoses before.  When I took the hose out of the box I couldn’t believe how lightweight it was, only weighing 2 lbs. I always dreaded lugging a traditional hose around the yard, they are so heavy and cumbersome. This hose is amazing, it is soft and flexible enough to gather up and carry around anywhere you need to take it.

expandable hose review
So light I can gather it up and carry it anywhere with ease.

 

The hose starts out 33 feet long and expands with water pressure to 100 feet, and then shrinks back down to 33 feet for easy storage. I love that this hose does not “kink” when using it, I always get a kink when I am dragging my old hose around. I also like that there is a little on and off lever on the adapter that you screw a sprayer to, its nice to be able to control the water flow from the end of the hose you are using and not have to go all the way to the faucet to turn it off while you are using it.

Grating some fresh ginger.

 

I decided to make some baked chicken breasts with some fresh grated orange zest and ginger with my new Lemon Zester from Chef Proven. This is by far the best zester I have ever tried. It was a breeze to zest the orange and ginger with the sharp high-grade stainless steel blade. Sometimes ginger can be quite tough and hard to work with, but it was so easy to grate on this zester. The handle is soft and very easy to grip which was nice because you don’t want your hands to slip and accidentally grate your knuckles or finger tips. It also comes with a removable cover that you can put back on for storage in your drawer so you don’t cut yourself when getting other utensils out of the drawer. I am very pleased with this zester and I am glad that I was given the opportunity to review it.

About Soothie Suckers

Happy, healthy children need natural support to help keep them smiling and at their best. In fact, that’s exactly what led Marietta Harrison to create Soothie Suckers. She went in search of natural and gentle ways to promote the health of her five children, and in doing so she discovered a world of herbs that parents have turned to for thousands of years.

 

Tapping into that ancient wisdom, Marietta developed Soothie Suckers as a safe and fun way to keep kids immune systems strong–and as a way to empower parents to make natural and healthy choices for their children.

 

Soothie Suckers provides great tasting, pre-­measured herbal remedies formatted for children. These proprietary herbal formulas are packaged in ice pop pouches and come in two natural flavors (grape and orange) for daily or seasonal consumption. These first formulas help support the immune system and the upper respiratory system. Expiration date stamped on each pop to insure highest quality.

Bee Sili SUPER Silicone BBQ Grill Oven Gloves & Basting Brush Review
These gloves are great for getting hot dishes out of the oven. I also use my gloves to loosen hard to open jar lids.

 

I have been using my Bee Sili Silicone Gloves in the kitchen and I love them. Having the individual fingers on the gloves makes it easier to handle things you can get a better grip. The silicone also helps in gripping things, it makes getting those pesky hard to loosen jar lids open with ease.

Since the gloves can be easily washed in the dishwasher you can use them to directly pick up the food, which comes in handy when you are grilling or making things like pulled pork or maybe hot corn on the cob.

Bee Sili gloves are also water proof so you can use them to reach into a cooler of ice and water to retrieve those can drinks from the bottom of the cooler without freezing your hands. I live in Florida so I don’t know a lot about ice scraping, but these gloves would definitely come in handy for snow and ice scraping.
