Couch covering

Nice and cushion couch cover that is cozy without making you sweaty when you lay on it. During the summer months or anytime that your kids are out of school for an extended period of time I feel like I have to walk around the house with duck tape and furniture bumpers.  My family is a very active family and sitting around the house is not taken well by the adults or the kids.  We love the outdoors but lets face it you can only go to the park so many times.  Also my budget does not allow me visit the places I want to visit on a daily basis.  So board games and netflix it is for those days.  

Anyone that knows me knows I can plan activities with the best of them.  I once planned a week log schedule of events without paying a dime but it took a lot of work.  I enjoy surprising my family with outings because they are only this age once.  We as parents are in the business of making memories.  Which brings us to the family room where lots of the magic of memories are made.  Our couches seem to be the place that holds those memories.  You can only use Febreeze for so many things, plus it doesn't do anything for stains (trust me I've tried).  

So I started looking for a covering that could take a busy household.  Came across this covering and although it is not for a large couch it is more for like a two or one seat item, it held up pretty good against this family. Want to save your couch but have kids or a pet? Then this is a must have. As mom's we can't be everywhere at the same time, so we need certain items in our home that helps to make a mistake just that not a permanent thing.  Mistakes can be mended or fixed but a permanent thing has to be replaced all together.  I love products that extend the life of your household furniture and products.

Portable Headlamp

Ever been working on something where you hands are not free to hold a light or flashlight but you need a light source shined to a specific area? Well here is a solution and the solution comes in a little box with all necessary tools/accessories in order to get you working from the first opening.  I have to say it was smaller than I initially expected.  Even though it was smaller than expected that did not stop the brightness of the light.  Going for a night jog or working on a car at night either one this head lamp will work for it.

Doing it yourself somethings means you need to grow extra arms/limbs in order to get the job done.  It comes with a adjustable strap for a perfect fit on your head no matter the shape or how much hair you have, it will adjust. There are also batteries included with it. So just attach the strap to the sides of the headlamp and put it on. adjusting for your head size.  It is much better than holding a flashlight.

I got this for my husband for this various handyman missions.  Due to being busy running errands all day and being with the kids night time is the perfect time to work under the sink or on the car under the hood. So this fits for him perfectly, he put this on and I was free, did not have to assist by holding the flashlight as usual.  It was liberating lets say that.

Trustech Remote Table Fan

 Not sure if the photo does this fan justice because it is not a small one.  I initially got this for my desk but it is taller than my computer monitor so I set it on the floor. When I stood next to it while it was in the upright position it measures from the floor to my knees. I said all of that to say that it was bigger than I was expecting.

As far as the features it has a remote that  you can use to fully control and adjust the fan to your liking.  Just point the remote to the control panel area and press the button. There is a convenient handle to help with carrying it around. Depending on what you are using it for the timer button can be very useful. Lastly there is also a Oscillating function to it that can be used. One last note when you first get it there will be a piece of paper sticking out of the remote, just remove that in order to use it.  As far as maintenace if there is any cleaning needed just wipe it with a slightly damp (not dripping wet) and wipe any dirt or dust that may accumulate.  Can be purchased at  http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07C2P2HDQ. #gotitatadiscount

Best Blackhead pore mask

My skin is very important to me and you never get a second chance to make a first impression, well usually.  No matter what makeup you use the size of your pores can still be seen.  You can not run away from your pore size, so you might as well get in front of it.  Once you decide to do something about it you have to choose the right product.  If within the first minutes of placing it on your face it is not starting to feel tight then it is not good.

Another tale tell sign of a great blackhead mask is that it is messy to apply and comes with a applicator.  When it comes to application I would say first off do not use it with a nice shirt or clothes.  I took my shirt off but if you can not do that I would recommend wearing a sleeveless shirt and a towel around your neck.  In a couple of minutes you face will feel tight I mean like really tight and can barely turn.  That is good, it lets you know that it is working.  The precede for taking it off is just peel it off and then rinse off any residue left on your face.  It is well worth it, not only are your pores visibly smaller and any blackheads removed but my skin was left feeling softer.

Portable water filter bag

I am a fairly active person but since having kids it seems like every family outing I am planning a emergency.  Planning has always been a hobby of mine every since I could remember. I have found myself more times than I have wanted to looking at a map for the nearest water station.  Hydration is a essential need of us all, age does not matter when it comes to your bodies hydration needs.  When it comes to drinking water on camping trips I find that I either have to carry lots of already purified water jugs or map out the camping site to be closer to fountains.  Here comes the dilemma because the best camping sites are away from everything.  I like to see and be in the midst of nature, I figure if we are going to go camping we might as well get the full experience.  

There is generally a water source there but it a river so the only thing I use to use that for would be cleaning clothes or dishes.  This filtration bag is a huge problem solver.  Before the trip I collected some rain water and then filtered it in this bag and it tasted pretty good.  As you can see all that it comes with, it is super simple to put together and has a convenient hook for carrying with you.  So it passed my first test, now onto the real hard test.  Can it clean dirty river water?  Well that is just what I did, luckily I have a body of water very close to my house.  I collected some water and water from my local river and then put a sample size in this bag.  Again the water was not bad and plus did not take that much time at all.  I use this for a camping trip and even at the park with the kids after the trip since I do not trust outside drinking fountains.Can be purchased at https://survivalhax.com/products/portable-water-filter-bag. #survivalhax

Stylish gear

I myself was raised in the 90's in the city of Chicago, IL so was defiantly a huge hip hop fan.  I even, believe it or not had a hard core rap phase.  I mean if you grew up where I grew up or within a hundred miles of it you would have been too.  Man if I had the money at that time and had this hat, I would have been envied of everyone.  Interesting fact for you youngsters, when this group started there was hardly any social media if any at all.  

You see every since I can remember I would hustle up on some monies, long before I was able to legally work with my work permit I worked.  I would do odd jobs like go to the community center and help them clean up after a event for a sack lunch and $20 dollars.  That meant so much to me back then, do you know what I could do with $20 dollars.  Everyone would run to the local music store or box store like Walmart.  I on the other hand would order my tapes through the mail or online for half the price.  Yeah I would have to go to the store to put money on a card and call Columbia music to put in the order and then wait for the tape to come in the mail but I could get more with my $20 than just one tape.

I absolutely loved this group, I remember the Crossroad tape, and yes I mean cassette tape.  It had a fold out that you could see all of the lyrics.  You see Google lyrics was not popular yet so you relied on the music group to tell you the lyrics.  I would study them and I could rap right along with them, so after school me and my friends would gather around playing the tape and hands down I could say every word and pronounce it just like the group. We even put on shows for other friends, I was very popular that summer. Man this brings back so many good memories.  I have had people compliment me on this cap so much, and was surprised when I could go line for line with the lyrics, even after all this time.

The cap itself not only brings up some great times but itself is made of very quality fabric.  the bib has a leather look.  the stitching of letters looks like someone took their time to produce it.  It holds its shape even in the warm weather I am.  I give this cap a A++ for quality.  It is worth every penny and being under $25 makes it a steal.  It can be purchased at https://www.layziegear.com/products/white-bucket-bone-thugs-n-harmony-hat-w-black-logo?variant=29010224781. #layziegear

Car organization: RORAIMA SUV Seat Back Organizer

Summer time is officially here and this is the time of year that we give more attention to our cars.  Especially the outside, by washing and polishing it to show it off as we cruise. Not only is it car washing season but it is also road trip season.  Even if you aren't going on family vacations; your car is your mobile home and it can let's be honest get a little messy.

I am all for organization but there is only so much one person can do.  I try my hardest to keep my house organized but my car is an eye sore.  Between the kids appointments, schools and weekend outings my car gets messy pretty quick.  the back seat pockets quickly become the holder of all types of things.  After awhile they start sagging and ripping.  Plus who wants stuff like motor oil or funnels rolling all over the car.  There has to be a better way; I love this simple but essetial invention.  I can place different size objects in the pockets of this and not worry about tearing.  Another thing I like about it, is that it has mess pockets so I can always see what I am looking for without having to go digging through pockets.  It has handles I can wrap around the seats so it is securely hanging and int view at all times.  Now if we can just find an invention to do that for my toddlers, I would be happy.  They are so clever they get out of those car seats, I can not tell you how many times I have had to pull over to strap them back in.  Can be purchased at http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B075MYCBJ3.  #gotitatadiscount
