Comfortable Compression Gloves









I am in a constant battle with my hand and feet Neuropathy pain now. I have tried every thing I can think of to find relief. I have been seeing a chiropractor on a normal basis. I have purchased expensive insoles. I have tried foot soaks. I have tried pain creams, oils and rubs. I have tried gloves in the past that I could just not find comfort wearing..that is until now.

I was browsing one of my favorite review sites the other night and applied for a product titled Best Compression Gloves. I was approved and immediately placed my order. My product arrived in a few days and I have been very happy with my results. These gloves come in small, medium and large. I have very small hands so I assumed I would need the small. The small fit my hands and fingers very well but I do have to turn down the wrists because they were a bit tight. I have found these gloves to be extremely comfortable to wear and very effective against the swelling in my hands and fingers. I can wear them at work or at home. Since these gloves are finger less they do not affect my ability to type and in fact I am wearing them as I type this review. These gloves are so comfortable I can even manage to go to sleep in them. This has been a blessing since I can sleep in them my hands are not so swollen I can hardly move them in the morning! The gloves are breathable which means they are not very warm in the cold but not useless in the heat.

I have noticed one small thing that I am a bit disappointed with in these gloves. They have little thin rubber like designs on the under side of the palms and fingers. I loved this feature as it made gripping things very easy also. I am upset that with my daily use my grippers as I call those designs are starting to peel off leaving the glove not as easy to grip with. This is really the only thing that I have found that is not absolutely perfect for me with these gloves and the only real area I have found that could use improvement for the product.

I am very happy with the product for the deal I received them for. I would recommend working on the grip design so that it lasts much longer on the product. I have not sent mine into laundry yet so I am not sure the grippers will survive that process. In due time I will find out though. The compression is amazing with these gloves and for my condition at least works perfect. I have had such good luck with these gloves I am more than interested in some of the other products in this line.

Organize Those Mops & Brooms Now



I hate nothing more than not being able to find my broom when I am ready to sweep and my mop when I am needing to mop. Until recently this was a pretty common occurrence. A broom might be in the pantry, utility room, storage room, or any where else for that matter. I had no better luck with a mop BUT those could be out side drying!

My whole cleaning life changed when I discovered the mop & broom holder organizer by Doko-In.
Now when I need to sweep or mop I know exactly where to look for what I need. In my utility room tucked away behind my door. It is here you will find my small piece of cleaning sanity!

This unit is super easy to install and use. It comes with everything you will need for installation including screws and anchors so there is no need to worry about having to stop by the store to purchase something you could need for installation. It was so simple to put up that it only took my husband a few minutes to have it ready to use. I think I could have installed it myself if I had needed to if that tells you anything about how simple it was!

It is as easy to use as it is to install. The product is made of heavy duty plastic so you don't have to worry about bending or breaking it. The hooks which can be used to hang items with holes in the handles or bags of stuff are also heavy duty. The rollers will easily grip handles of brooms,mops, and even larger handles like shovels or rakes. Once you insert the handle the roller adjusts to firmly grip and hole the item in place. I have not experienced any items falling because of weight or the rollers loosing their grip. It is quick and easy to put items up as you rush by and I have not had any to fall back out. Even in a hurry and on the go this is an item of choice to use!

The unit also comes with a couple bonus single units you can install. My hubby has decided since I am having such good luck with the one I am using that he is going to take those for his garage. So even if mops and brooms are already under control at your house you can still find a purpose for this product!

I did receive this product for free or at a discount in exchange for my honest unbiased review. This has not in any way influenced this review in any way. The opinions here are 100% my own after my use and evaluation of this product. This being said it is a product I would recommend to anyone needing to clean up their space,

Revitalizing Serum that Works



I have received another awesome Valentia product to review! This time I have a Valentia Clear Lift Revitalizing Serum. This product is of the same quality and performance of those other Valentia products in the past. This serum comes in the same recognizable box as it always has. The bottle is the same dark brown and the label still looks the same.

The bottle has a pump lid. Do not get over happy and think this means you should pump the lid a dozen or so times. You will only need a small bit of this product to do the trick. I usually use around 2 pumps for my whole face and neck. The product is just the right consistency. This helps when using the product because it goes on your face easily and it is not thin and greasy. I thought at first that the product would be greasy when I first put it on because it has an oily feel to it. It is not greasy. Once on your skin it is quickly absorbed leaving no residue behind. I did not have any feeling of a dirty or greasy face once I was done using this product. I did not have any problems, discomfort, or redness that I did not already have before use.

 I like this product and love the results that I am seeing. I feel like I am doing something that is good for my skin. This could be a great addition to spa night or just a part of a regular routine. I would recommend this product. I just would not recommend it to anyone that is highly sensitive to smell. The citrus hint in this product is pretty stout. If you would like to take a look at the product to decide if it is something that might be right for you please go to here I did receive this product at a discount or for free in exchange for my honest unbiased review. The means by which I obtained this product did not have any influence on this review nor did the makers or sellers of this product. This is 100% my opinion after my use and evaluation of this product here.

Gentlemen Need Exfoliation Too

My husband is a "manly man". He is not a manicure face care kind of guy. I could not believe when I got him to agree to try Valentia Exfoliating Scrub for Men. I honestly wondered if once I got it he would use it one time and never pick it up again. I just hoped if this happened that my son might like it because he does take good care of his skin. As a last resort I hoped it would not be something that was very gritty and horrible smelling so if all else failed even maybe I could put the product to use or my dad. I had a plan you see because I expected I would need it!

I got the scrub and handed it to my husband. He kind of just looked at it like "ok now what?" I asked him to use it and let me know his thoughts. The first few days it just sat there collecting dust. Finally I got him to try it. One use and he was hooked! He liked the product. He said it was very simple to use. Rub it on and then he washes it off in the shower. He did not have to wait for the product to sit like so many of the lady products you use on your face. He was very happy about that. He has been using this regularly since that first use.

The product has a manly smell but it is not over powering. This was wonderful because over powering scents the hubby has trouble with. The smell to me is like a mans deodorant or body wash. It has a nice mild manly scent. The container is simple. Just a black jar with a screw on lid. This was also a plus for my husband. He does not like all the bling or bells and whistles a lot of my products come with.

My hubby does have a beard. So even a beard does not halt the benefit of this product. He said the only thing that it seems like to him is he has to use a little more in the area where his beard is. The product washes out easily and does not leave his beard looking bad. It is not a greasy or oily product that leaves behind a nasty residue. The product goes a long way. Even with needing more for his beard the product is lasting him well.

Since my husband has started using this product regularly I have noticed his blemishes have cleared up. His skin looks clean and clear. His pores are not clogged and look healthy. In my humble opinion this product has helped his skin to look younger.

Women can use this product if they can get it away from their man long enough. It does not hurt a females skin. You can use very little of it. It leaves your face feeling clean and clear. I have tried it a few times just to get a feel for how the product performs. I am leaving it for my hubby however because I have a ton of these wonderful product to use for myself.

I have to give Valentia a huge kudos for making such a wonderful product for men. My husband has never used this type of product before. I am amazed he is using it regularly. He is all about simplicity and this product met those wants and has helped with facial problems that he has been experiencing. It would be crazy not to use it. 

I did receive this product for free or at a discount in exchange for an honest unbiased review. This review has not been influenced by the means I obtained the product or the company making or selling the product. The opinions here are 100% my own after my observation of my hubby's skin and a couple uses on my own.

Enjoy Tea Time with These Cute Manatea





I love trying new products and had been wanting to try a tea infuser for a while. When I saw these cute manatea I could not pass up the opportunity. These came in a set of two. You have Mr. and Mrs. Manatea. Of course like always I was drawn to the pink one. That is fine because my son can use the other one. He likes tea also.

These cuties are made with 100% food grade silicone. They are very easy to use. All you have to do is twist off their tail and put your tea into their tail before twisting the top back on. These are great for loose tea and can also be used for tea bags. They simply hang on the side of your cup. While they hang out in their cup spa your water will start to turn a tea color. I allowed my to stay on my cup until the tea was cool enough to drink.

These darlings are also very easy to clean. Of course being me I washed mine with warm water before their first use but even after use it is still so simple. I emptied out the Manatea tail and ran it under warm water again. It was ready for the next use just like that!

I have to tell a funny little story that goes along with these Manatea. I had the gray one in the dish drainer and had laid the pink one back out on my island when my husband went into the kitchen. I hear him saying what in the world. I said what in the world is what? He said these weird little creatures you have placed all over the kitchen. I say the Manatea? He says these pink and gray funny looking things. I said yes those are tea infusers. He said oh that thing you had on your cup the other night...ok I guess.

You never can tell what might be around my house but you can bet that I try out some cool products. I did receive the Manatea tea infusers for free or at a discount in exchange for an honest unbiased review. This review has not been influenced by the company making or selling this product and has also not been influenced by the means by which I got to finally try this product. The opinions here are 100% my own. The stories you know could only come from the crazy life of this reviewer!

Javascript Coding for Children Yes or No?





My son informed me he had an interest in learning to code. It was a minimal casual comment that he probably didn't even know I noticed. When I came across the program Simply Coding I wanted to know how serious he was about coding. Was it a casual comment or was it a real interest to learn. I asked him if I got the program would he actually work with it to learn. He said of course. My son and I have worked together to bring you this eye opening review!

My son has worked with his coding most of the day. He said there were a good deal of files he had to download but that it was simple to do. If you can navigate a computer much at all you can get the files. He was moving right along in lesson one making progress and his game was taking shape. Then he learned what one small mishap can cause. His game vanished. Yes, that is right, it was gone after all that work! I was sure we had met the end of the road. His interest in coding would be buried along with a dozen other ventures he has had over the years such as guitar but this time was different. This course had tweaked his interest for more than a whim. He looked through the code trying to decide what happened. Dad and I know nothing about coding so looking at the screen to us was like a foreign language. Thank goodness for the chat help that is provided with this course. He got in touch with them and in just a few minutes he was back on track and moving along again.

My son is loving this new knowledge and I am loving that he is learning a wonderful new skill to possibly shape his future and getting in his class hours while doing. My son is 12, a 6th grader who just this year we decided to home school so we are accomplishing two tasks at once.

From the wisdom of my 12 year old he says this course is a challenge but that he does like it. He is an intelligent child who can pick up almost anything if he really wants to so I have no doubt that he can complete this accredited 30 hour course. If he keeps seeking coding with the excitement he is now I am very interested in the other courses in this series of accredited courses. He did say that since he is struggling that maybe the age should be a little higher on this course but I think it is because he has not had any experience with this type of thing before.

The course is laid out nicely. There are videos and not just a bunch of reading so this helps to actually show what you need to do. As the instructor completes each task he is talking telling you what he is doing and why. So you have a visual from the video, audio from his words, and then you can read along also. Great for different types of learners. Once you are done watching the video you can perform the tasks and build your game as you follow along. At the end of each part of the lesson there is a quiz to test that you are learning and not just following along blindly. He is very excited because at the end of the course you will have game that you can upload and honestly play. It is not just a lesson that goes away as you walk through, it comes together to form a true game, your very own creation.

Overall we are both excited about this opportunity to complete this course. It is wonderful skills to have. It appears to be something he is interested in. I am very proud of his progress and determination to learn this. The course in my opinion is great. He is learning and it shows in the progress he is making. Though he is making some mistakes those are areas that he is having to work on and will not likely make the same mistake next time. If you have a child with a technical mind who enjoys this type of stuff I would highly recommend this product.

I did receive this product for free or at a discount in exchange for my honest review. This has not influenced my opinion of this product. The company making and selling this course has also played no part in this review. The opinions here are 100% from the experience of my son as he walks through this course and my observation of his progress and struggles.

Just out of curiosity how do you feel about children learning skills such as these? Do you think they are profitable or pretty much a waste of their time? Either way do you care to explain why?

A Double Doozy















It is no secret that I love Valentia products. You can imagine how happy I was when I realized I was going to get to try two more new products from the brand. I was chosen to try a skin detoxifying mask and an exfoliating scrub.Both products are amazing and here is the reason that I say that.

Both products performed with amazing results. The products are both in easy open and close jars. The exfoliating scrub is in a smaller jar than most Valentia products but there is still plenty of product for your buck. This jar is also a dark color instead of the normal light. I liked the change up. It adds a bit of different look to my Valentia collection. The clay mask had a nice light smell. I think it smells really good but is not full of perfume. The exfoliating scrub had very little smell at all.

Both products are easy to use with a slight difference between the two. When using the clay mask there is an approximately a 20 minute wait while the product works. The exfoliating scrub is much like a face wash. You put the scrub on your face and can then immediately wash it off with no wait time for it to work. Personally I prefer a no wait time but the time spent waiting for the clay mask to work is well worth the results you will get. This being said the clay mask sits up during your wait time. It will turn a white color and it reminded me of a mime. Some ladies will probably want to hide out while the mask works its magic. I chose to go sit with my husband while I waited in which he told me that mamma looked weird. If you call looking like a mime weird than yes I would agree that I did.The scrub goes on clear but can be washed off so you do not have to worry about anyone seeing you. Both products will wash right off with a cloth and warm water. You can choose to shower to get it off or just wash your face at the sink. Either way will work fine.

These products left my skin feeling fresh and smooth. I loved the softness and the glow that I had after using these products. I am once again extremely satisfied with my decision to give these products a try.I had no negative side effects from using either product. The clay mask did get warm on my face when I first applied it and I was worried that I would not be able to use it but the heat soon subsided and I had no further problems. I remain a huge Valentia fan!

I did receive both these products for free or at a discount in exchange for an honest and unbiased review. This review has not been influenced by the means I have obtained these products or by the company making or selling the product. The opinions here are 100% my own after my use and evaluation of both products.

Interested in either of these products?
