Ann Yoder's Amish Cooking Gloves Review



These really do keep your hands safe from the heat. They are about an Extra Large Size so if you have real small hands you might want to practice with them before going into the heat. They are made from Silicone. They are very flexible. You can also open jars with these. They grip very well. Please watch my video review. See my Son in Law lay his hand on a hot grill.

Wine Aerator by Bar Brat Review


 This is a very nice and classy looking Wine Aerator. It instantly aerates your wine, it also features a drip free tip on it. It has a black rubber seal that seals tightly in the bottle. It is made from a clear acrylic. Super simple to clean up just run it under warm water and your ready for the next bottle.
 To me it actually kind of pretty. Would make a great addition to a gift basket, or in addition to a nice bottle of wine as a hostess gift. It is about 5 inches long. I did receive mine in exchange for my honest review.


Deshedding Pet Grooming Tool for Dogs and Cats Review

 This is a 2 piece comb. The handle and comb detach for easy cleaning. My dog at first ran from it but then again he runs from everything except treats. He is a Long haired Chihuahua and only wants to be messed with when he wants it. Once I started combing him though he was all for it. The comb was very easy to clean up afterward, what hair did come off of him came right out of the comb teeth and just some warm soapy water took any dirt off the comb. It is a really nice set. I was given my comb in exchange for my honest review.

Laundry Bag With 2 Inch Shoulder Strap Review



Very nice Laundry bag, it is made of a sturdy heavy duty polyester and will hold at least 2 loads of laundry it is 30 x 40 inches. The shoulder strap is very sturdy also and 2 inches wide so it doesn't feel like it is eating into your shoulder while carrying it. This is great if you need to use the laundry mat, are in college, going camping, or countless other places where you have to tote your laundry out. Would also be great for storing and carrying sporting equipment. It is a very lightweight bag and it folds nearly flat when not in use. They come in 2 colors so you could sort your laundry before hand. Or if you have kids in college who bring laundry home for Mom you can tell whose laundry is whose.

3.4A Apple Certified Rapid Lightning Car Charger Review


I love that this charger has a USB port right on it for charging an extra device or in our case the Samsung phone, the mp3 player, my camera, the tablet, and a couple other devices that use the Micro USB connector. It is a great charger, my only complaint would be the springy cord, it tends to tangle around things. Still a great charger though.  I did receive this charger in exchange for my honest review.

Sunraze Sunglasses Review


I received my Sunraze Sunglasses in exchange for my honest review.
 I got the Grey sunglasses with the purple lenses. To me they are more of a blackish then a straight up purple though. But different people may see it different then me.  They are plastic frames with a wood grain look. They have polycarbonate lenses. They are a vintage style. They are light weight. They are UV400 to protect the eyes 100% from the sun. They also fit comfortable for an adult head.
