Review: Arctic Spirits Whiskey Ice Molds - Set of 4

Arctic Spirits Whiskey Ice Molds - Set of 4

These little molds are fantastic! The set comes with four silicone Whiskey Ice Molds. While the product is designed for use with whiskey I can see myself using them for so much more. They would be awesome in a big bowl of punch(just make a bunch and store in plastic bags until you have enough for a large container) or in large drink dispensers. Since the balls are so big they take a bit of time to melt and that is great for parties in punch or drink dispensers.

I used two to try out the product. One I filled all the way and one I poured out just a little bit of water before freezing. The one I filled all the way opened while freezing but did not make a mess. It was not a perfect ball shape though. The one that I poured out just a little bit turned out perfectly. Both balls came out of the mold with ease. It fits just right into my small drink glasses.  The balls are about 2.5inches in diameter. I think it would be fun to freeze juice for kids and these molds are dishwasher safe so they are easy to wash!

Review: Baby Carrier Wrap By BandyBaby

Baby Carrier Wrap By BandyBaby

I recently received this Bandy Baby carrier and couldn't wait to try it out. The baby it is meant for is not quite here yet(not my baby!) so I borrowed the baby of a close friend. There are nice illustrated instructions within the packing when you unroll your carrier. I was already familiar with how to wear this type of carrier, but for a newbie, the illustrated instructions will be very helpful. It also comes with a nice carry bag! Fold your carrier in half and roll up to get it back in!

I was happy to discover that the fabric is single stretch. It only stretches one way which provides a more secure fit. It does not require as much adjusting as you wear baby for longer periods of time.

I am a size 12-14 and there was lots of tail left and I could even wrap around and tie in front. It would fit a person who is maybe up to size 18/20 tied in the back.

It is very easy to use once you are familar with the technique.  When you are getting the carrier on while out and about it is easiest to keep the long tails from hitting the ground if you do it outside your car and leave the tail on your car seat while doing the other. Some times when I am using this type of carrier I will put it on loosely before leaving the house then tighten it when I put baby in while out and about. I love babywearing since there are sooo many benefits like promoting social interation, preventing flattened head, it can help relieve gas if baby is positioned in the froggy position.  It is way easier than carrying a car seat around and much safer than sticking a car seat in a cart at the store(DO NOT EVER DO THIS BY THE WAY!).

This carrier is light weight and will be comfortable in the summer. It is lighter weight than other carriers of this same style that I have tried. It is also very soft!

Review: Sleep Guardian® Full Mattress Protector

Sleep Guardian Full Size Protector
I got this in the mail and threw it on my 3 year old's bed because I desperately needed a mattress protector for him. I recently moved him to his own bed and hadn't gotten him a waterproof protector.
As my luck would have it, he decided to test it out on the first night. He called me into his room crying at 5:45 this morning to tell me he'd peed the bed. I pulled off the sheets and this Sleep Guardian Full sized mattress protector to find my sons mattress dry! So happy to not be trying to scrub out pee from his bed this morning.
I also love how it doesn't have any vinyl and doesn't make loud noises while rolling around in the bed. The bed bug protection and 10 year warranty are a plus!
Most mattress protectors are waterproof that I had in the past could not be stuck in the dryer but this one can be dried low. Very happy to not have to wait for it to hang dry.

I received this Guardian Mattress protector at a discount or free for my honest review. All the opinion in this review are my own. I was not required to leave a positive review, I am just one happy momma.

Review: Majestic Pure Sweet Almond Oil

Today I received my Majestic Pure Sweet Almond oil and didn't waste any time in trying it out.

The product I received can be found here:

Majestic Pure Sweet Almond Oil, 16oz
100% pre and natural sweet almond oil. Cold pressed. 
Uses:

• Can help with psoriasis or eczema
• Makeup remover
• Can be used as a shine enhancer or leave-in conditioner for hair
• Help reduce split ends
• Moisturizing for the skin 

First I used it just on my skin. It made my hands feel nice and smooth. The consistency of it is nice and it is easy to rub in. It smells pleasant and doesn't leave an icky oily feeling after rubbing it into the skin.

Second, I regularly make homemade lip balm but have never tried it with almond oil. I've heard of the benefits almond oil has for the skin. It is supposed to moisturize and smooth the skin. I figured considering the benefits it would be fantastic in lip balm.

I melted over water some coconut oil, local beeswax, and then added the Majestic Pure Sweet Almond Oil and some flavorings. It mixed easily and then I added the mixture to the lip balm tubes. It cooled to a perfect consistency. Upon trying the lip balm it feels very smooth on my lips, smoother than with what I usually use. Since it was almond, they're flavored with almond and I added cherry!

I will definitely be buying this product again in the future for more lip Balms.
