I love this shower head!  I have needed a new shower head for a while.  I kept looking at them in the stores and then just never buying one.  My shower head was plastic and old.  It did not have different settings and certainly not a water shut off.   That's what makes the  PowerSpa 6-Setting Convenience/Mobility Hand Shower , 2-Tone so great!   The first thing I love is that it can be used as an overhead shower or a handheld shower.  I am short let's face it...5'4" and I have to ask my husband to reach everything high up unless I stand on a ladder.  This comes with the hardware to install it overhead and a holder so you can take it down and put it at your reach level. Second, the settings are so cool.  I have my  choice of a nice light rainfall type shower to a massaging water bead type spray.  Also a few mixes of this in between .   Thirdly, the water saver feature where you can flip the handle switch and shut off the spray, lather yourself all up and then

I really like this product.  Cell phones and tablets are among the dirtiest technology that we cannot live without these days.  Do you realize that if you do not clean the screens of the units and continue to use them you are just piling on the germs and spreading them around? If the unit touches your skin on your face when you are using it the germs make contact and this is a perfect a Not to mention the natural oils in your hands smudge the screens and make them unreadable. This is a great product for taking care of those nasty devices and ensuring you get a shiny screen and no germs to spread. You fill the chamber with the cleaning liquid and it comes out in an ionized fine mist on the screen.  You use the special MicroChamois that is infused with silver to wipe the screen.  Silver is known to have antimicrobial/antibacterial properties. That's it.  It could not be simpler and it works!  You get a nice carrying case for the device and a nice pouch made out of the same si

This is a beautiful bar accessory - this cocktail shaker set.  I heart it for several reasons. 1) Stainless steel is becoming ever more popular these days in kitchen gadgets and accessories.  My household is moving to that genre so I thought this would be a nice set would be a nice start to that in my household. 2) It is not just the shaker that makes this it is also the jigger measure that comes with it in order to measure out 1/2 oz and 1 oz of additives for more precise cocktails. There are also 2 pour spouts which are a great bonus that will ensure the drinks have the right amount of liquor and taste awesome! The set comes boxed nicely.  Inside there is a black velour bag and each piece of the set is packaged in plastic so there are no scratches. The bag is a plus because you can take it with you on the go if your friends don't have a fully stocked set of bar accessories. It also is easy to store it back in the bag which will preserve the beautiful look of the stainl

I love sampling products that I know come from trusted brands and from a site that comes through with lots of awesomeness.  I am talking about Crowdtap with whom I have been a loyal user of for a few years now. This newest sampling is a brand you may be familiar with as I have written about it before a few years ago.  I am talking about Advil.  This product is a Rapid Release formula and makes it their fastest acting Advil to date.  I received my samples recently and funnily enough immediately following a short stay in hospital for a pain related malady. Coincidence? Maybe fate was looking down? Either way it was pretty incidental. The samples were such a relief because I choose not to take prescription painkillers unless absolutely supremely necessary. The way I was feeling at that moment was that I know Advil has worked in the past and I was hoping it would work this time too. I would have been disappointed not to be able to bounce back a little quicker.  However th

Well here I am with another health and beauty dilemma.  My hair has not been in its greatest shape recently.  This is both due to the weather which has been on a really strange up and down trend as well as a few unexpected illnesses and a short hospital stay. Yes, I do color my hair.  3 times a year.  Not so much.  So that's not really it. I could blame it all on getting older or the dreaded 'h' word (hormones) and as those factors contribute that's not all of it.  Its the environment, constantly brushing and combing it, putting it up, taking it down, over washing, under washing, I could go on. All of these factors together contribute to my dry lifeless hair. I was excited to try these new products by L'Oreal Paris.  They are Advanced Haircare Extraordinary Oil Nourishing Shampoo, Nourishing Conditioner and Lustrous Oil Serum.  Yes oil... I know what you are thinking, my hair will be greasy or feel oily after use.  NOT true.  I was a skeptic at first but

For those bakers out there that want to try silicone bakeware or if you have tried it in the past and love it, this set is for all of you. What can I say...#1 Its pink!  My favorite color for those of you who know me at all.  Then you know my girly side is the color pink.  I literally used to never wear anything but pink...but I digress. I am here to write about this great product!  I have never tried silicone bakeware because I was worried about it being flimsy or burning or food sticking or any other reason because I was so used to cooking in those old aluminum muffin pans that were passed down for a few generations. I was wrong! This cupcake/muffin pan was great!  I liked the bundle with the spatula and the basting brush and the paper liners because it meant I only needed to mix up a batter and make a batch of cupcakes.  The liners stayed upright and kept their shape so the sizing of the muffin wells was perfect.  I did use a flat baking sheet the first time I used the pa

Its the year of doing things for me for a change.  Working out, eating better and being more aware of my appearance.  I knew it was time to renew my hair color when a colleague of mine actually had the nerves to tell me I was starting to look my age. I have colored my hair several times over the last 15 years, generally speaking once every 4 months or thereabout.  In the interim it is rare for me to touch up my roots to cover the grays between full coloration cycles mostly because my time is sparse.  I was hoping that this product would be the answer to all of it. I have used Garnier before and even use some of their other non hair care products so I was familiar with the brand prior to this. I loved the color I chose as above because it is very close in the picture to my natural color and I was hoping it would be so when I used it.  I was mostly concerned about gray coverage. I love that this comes with a Precision brush so that I could a good job at the roots rather than ju

#TryDry VoxBox by Influenster introduced me to a new kind of product that is innovative and works really well. Who would have thought that a dry spray would actually work to keep you dry is a genius!  I was always using other types of antiperspirants such as roll-on and gels and white sticks and I find them messy and sticky and although they work, they go on wet or sticky and you have to wait for them to dry in order for them to keep you dry.  Silly huh? Well I got to try Dove dry spray cool essentials scent.  It comes in a nice size can that can last up to 8 weeks.  The first thing I noticed about the product is that the can is lightweight and convenient to throw in my gym bag. When I first tried it I noticed it has a clean refreshing cucumber scent and was not overpowering or perfumey. It was easy to spray because of the overall design of the product. I noticed that it really was working when I got to work and started in on my frenzy of a day when I usually get frazzled a
