Kuuk Digital Kitchen Meat Thermometer



Very nice thermometer, it is adjustable which is awesome no more hold your hand over a hot pan. It has a easy to read digital screen to make reading the temperature easy. It has an off and on switch for when you are not using it, but it also has a automatic shut off. The probe folds up against the handle for easy storage and it also keeps it safe from breaking. Can't tell how you many of these I have broken the probes on with them sticking out. I love the 4 second read time, gets your hand away from heat or cold fast. It works for both hot and cold temperatures from -58ºF to +572ºF. You can also switch between celsius and fahrenheit. And I love the color

Kitchen Monster Pizza Cutter



Very nice pizza cutter. It has a large 3 inch stainless steel blade, which I really like, I am not a thin pizza fan. It has a non slip ergonomic handle that is about a inch or more thick. It has a plastic see through thumb guard so you don't slice your thumb and ruin your pizza. The bade is really sharp for getting through your fixings and the crust. You can also use it to cut dough and fresh herbs. It is dishwasher safe.

TSA Lock, by: Alaska Bear®



So I don't travel weekly but my husband and I do go on vacations, and a lot of weekend getaways. So I wanted a lock for our suitcases. I was asked to try this lock in exchange for my honest opinion and since I really wanted one anyway I went for it.
There are several great features to this lock.
First you get to set your own 3 digit combination, which is awesome since I have enough numbers and codes to remember in my job and daily life, it will make it so much easier to not have to add another code to my list.
Next is made of a zinc alloy so will probably outlast me
It is TSA approved, and has a Red Pole Alert, now I personally had no clue what all that meant when I purchased the lock, but now I do. TSA has a special tool to open approved locks so if they decide they want to riffle through your stuff they see the diamond on the lock, pull out their tool which safely opens instead of breaking your lock and leaving your suitcase unprotected. The red pole alert means, there is a small red pole in the lock and when it is opened by TSA's tool a red bar sticks up letting you know TSA picked you to riffle through your stuff, so You can check your bag and make sure everything is still inside. Only when your 3 digit code is put into the lock after the bar has been activated will it slide back into the lock.

My Review:
  Exile is book 3 of the Guy Erma and the Son of Empire Series by Sally Ann Melia. This series is not a stand alone series. In order for this book to make a really great story for you, you must read book 1 - Kidnap and book 2 - Hunter. In Book one you meet all the characters, in book 2 the story really heats up and now we are in book 3. 
  The story is about Teodor who is Heir to the throne of Freyne, who has been kidnapped. And Guy Erma who is the son of a fashion model, his father is unknown, and his birth unregistered, so basically a street kid. Both boys are 13.  Teodor and Guy are total opposites, They become friends, even though thy don't know whether to trust one another or not. Teodor is trying to get home and back to his life and Guy is trying to run away and find a new life.  Will they make?
   The worst part about the book is having to wait until book 4 comes out. There are some amazing pictures in the books, they are well worth looking at. 
  This series of books is aimed at Young adults, it is a science fiction story / adventure. Sally has done a wonderful job with this series. Each book starts where the previous book leaves off. There is an appendix at the back of the book that will help you follow the characters and places better.

Cell Phone Portable Charger By ChargerSticks



This is a great little power bank it is lightweight, small, but powerful. It comes with the power bank, a micro USB cord, and a carrying case. It takes about 2 to 3 hours to fully charge it. You put the micro end into the power bank and plug the USB end into either wall charger, car charger, or your computer to charge the unit. To charge your devices (phone, tablet, mp3 ETC) turn the cord around, plug the USB end into the unit and plug the micro end into your device.  There is no power button on the unit, so you don't have to worry about loosing your charge while carrying it in your pocket, purse, or where ever. I like the fact that you can still use your device while it is charging. It charges my RCA tablet as well as my Samsung camera.
I received this item at a discount during a promotion for testing and reviewing.

Turmerex™ Turmeric 95% Extract Review



My husband has arthritis due to being electrocuted several years ago at work. Some days he is in lots of pain, some days he can hardly move. He has only been taking this a couple of weeks so I can't give a glowing results review but it does seem to be helping. I will amend this review after he finishes the bottle. When I was given the chance to try and review this product, I searched the web to know and understand exactly what Turmeric was good for and how it worked, I had no idea Turmeric is used for arthritis, heartburn (dyspepsia), stomach pain, diarrhea, intestinal gas, stomach bloating, loss of appetite, jaundice, liver problems and gallbladder disorders.It is also used for headaches, bronchitis, colds, lung infections, fibromyalgia, leprosy, fever, menstrual problems, and cancer. Other uses include depression, Alzheimer’s disease, water retention, worms, and kidney problems. I was given this bottle to try and for an honest review.

Zerlite Metal Double Hinged Restaurant Wine Bottle Opener



Great all wine and bottle opener. It is all metal and very sturdy. It have a foil cutter, which a lot of cork screw tools do not have. I really like the ergonomic handle, makes it easy to hang on to while opening the bottle. It has a 5 screw spiral worm, which is great for getting in deep and not destroying the cork and not being able to get it out at all. It is double hinged. It fold up for less storage space. It has a bottle opener for regular bottle caps. And the color is amazing. I chose the wine red one, it is kind of a burgundy color. They do have 7 great colors to choose from.
I received this product in exchange for my honest opinion.
