Ozeri Brezza III Dual Oscillating 10" High Velocity Desk and Table Fan Review

Well as most of my readers know, I recently moved to New York from Texas. I moved to New York in November of last year and so, as you can imagine, it was very cold! I was far from thinking about summer weather and how hot it would be inside my house. Then summer did come! I was used to living in Texas and having central air conditioning. Much to my surprise, there is NO air conditioning in my house here in New York! That was pretty hard to cope with. To be honest I am a cry baby when it comes to heat and being hot in my own home. At this time, I knew something had to change! So I went to Wal-Mart and purchased 2 box fans (one for each of my kids' rooms) and a heavy duty, high powered fan for my room. The fans definitely helped cool down my house! However, since my house is two stories....the fans only cooled the upstairs! That is when I was given the opportunity to review the Ozeri Brezza III Dual Oscillating 10" High Velocity Desk and Table Fan! 







This fan came VERY quickly after I ordered it and it couldn't have came at a better time. The day the fan came it was so HOT and HUMID and we had family visiting and we were baking in the kitchen......needless to say.....it was HOT in my home! Now to be completely honest, when I opened the fan I thought....ow can this little fan be efficient in my cooling needs? There is no way that this little fan will cool down my home. I was pleasantly surprised!!! This little fan has so much power and velocity! 



The fan is black and it oscillates both left & right and up & down! There are 4 different speed setting including low, medium, high, and SILENT! I love the different setting for speed....that's not all though! 



There is a remote so you can control it from across the room! Another AMAZING thing that this fan has is a timer!! I love the timer because I can set it to turn off after I know I will have fallen asleep! The fan is also light enough that I can take it from room to room with ease. I think that Ozeri is an amazing company with high quality products that work how they are supposed to without failing or letting me down! 




You can get your own Ozeri Brezza III here for just $43 SHIPPED! It is well worth it! I would not get rid of this fan for anything! I wanted to share what the company has to say about the fan:

  • Powered by new ultra-quiet, 4-speed, dual oscillating motors with automatic vertical and horizontal motion for maximum cooling effectiveness.
  • Extended-range remote control and fan controls easily engage automatic dual oscillation (up/down & left/right), horizontal oscillation (left/right), the 4-hour timer and all air speed settings.
  • Aerodynamically designed for an even lower dB noise rating than the trend-setting Brezza II, while providing air circulation at 4 different speeds.
  • Push button access to non-oscillating mode for precisely directed airflow.
  • Boasts a sophisticated and stylish space-saving design that complements and enhances room decor. Ships fully assembled. Satisfaction Guaranteed.
  • Product Dimensions: 14 x 10 x 14 inches ; 6.5 pounds

Grazia Silicone 24 Cup MINI Muffin Pan Review


If you are not aware, I absolutely LOVE baking! I love to bake cakes, brownies, bars, cookies, cupcakes, bread, muffins, etc. Pretty much if it is sweet and delicious....I will bake it! With that being said, you can imagine how often I use loaf pans, 9 X 13 pans, 8 X 8 pans, cookie sheets, and (especially) #muffinpans ! So when I go this Grazia Silicone Muffin Pan, I was VERY excited.



I had heard a lot about the silicone pans and cookie sheets and had yet to try one. I had my doubts on how well they would work and how they would hold up in my oven. I also feared that they would make my muffins taste weird. However, hearing so many good things about it from friends and family members, I figured why not give them a try.

So I had the kids help me mix together some muffin batter and I sprayed the Grazia Silicone Mini Muffin Pan with some cooking spray. Then, we poured the muffin batter into the pan and placed the muffin on a cookie sheet (so it was easier to take out of the oven when the muffins were done). I put them in the oven and then when they were done I took them out.



After letting them cool some....they popped right out of the pan. I thought this was incredibly convenient.The muffins baked perfectly through and to the perfect done-ness (ha ha I know that isn't a real word but it is the word to describe it).

The real test came with the taste test. Of course my kids wanted one as soon as they came out of the oven....after waiting for them to cool they came them a try. They were most definitely KID APPROVED! Then, I gave them a try and they tasted JUST like a berry muffin. No weird after taste or odd taste in the muffins!



Over all, I have to say I absolutely LOVE this silicone pan and I will continue to purchase other silicone pans for my other baking needs! If you are wanting to try silicone pans and have been on the fence about it like I was, just jump in! Give them a try! They are great and work amazingly!



I do want to share a little of what the company has to say about the product:

"Grazia® Silicone 24 Cup MINI Muffin Pan is a non-stick food grade silicone muffin cupcake baking pan that is extremely easy to clean, safe to use in the oven, microwave, dishwasher, or freezer. It is heat resistant for up to 450°F.

--FDA Approved

Nail Cones Review




I was chosen to review nail cones.



Here is what their website has to say about them:

"Have you ever gotten really frustrated painting your fingernails when you get the nail polish on your skin? If you have, your problems are over. Nail Cones is a simple, easy-to-use product that will solve the problem. You can save time and frustration by using Nail Cones – and your nails will look great after you have finished.

Check out the video on how to use Nail Cones. We have really tried to make this a product that women can use without a lot of hassle to achieve a professional polished look.
We hope you agree and give Nail Cones a try."
You can buy the product for just $5.99! 


Personally I did not find the product useful as it is intended to be used by the company! I thought that it was hard to use and did NOT fit my finger nails well. However, my nails are pretty long and I do not normally have any problems with getting polish on the tips of my fingers. My problem is generally on the sides of my nail bed. So with that being said.....I decided to use the product in a different way! 


I placed the sticker on my nail and used the shape to make part of a circle on my nail! I think they worked great for this! Do you have any awesome tricks for painting your nails? Decorating them? Designing them? I love doing my nails and all hints and tricks are GREATLY appreciated! Leave them in the comments for me!

Rainbow Bandz Organiziation Box Review

Disclosure: I got this product as part of an advertorial.

Have you heard of the new trend.....rubber band looms to create jewelry and toys?? There are many different brands and types out there.....wonder loom, rainbow loom, etc. Girls (and even some boys) are creating their own jewelry with these simple yet fun tools.



Well as most of my readers know....I have an 8 year old daughter. She LOVES her loom and LOVES creating jewelry and other neat things with it. With that being said, you can imagine how many rubber bands she has. After all, she HAS to have ALL of the different colors, glitter, metallic, glow in the dark, the dye, and even scents (yes they scented some of them)!

Now, the problem with this is that I was finding these rubber bands EVERYWHERE! 


This is AFTER I had her put them in a pile rather than all over her bedroom floor. LOL! Then I got the Rainbow Bandz Organization Box for her!  



I love that all her bands are organized and kept together with this box. It is thick plastic and the best part is you can remove some of the walls so that the cells can be larger if you want them to be. Each compartment is 2 inches wide x 1.9 inches deep and is 13 1/2 inches long in maximum.



This box really was the answer to all her disorganized bands and she absolutely LOVES that she doesn't have to pick through them to find the color that she wants. She just goes to that cell and grabs it out. 

I would definitely recommend this for anyone that does the rubber band looms or even for other small things such as beads, gems, crystals, etc.

PIMSLEUR SPANISH LEVEL 1 REVIEW

Disclosure: I got this product as part of an advertorial.

Hi readers! I am so excited to share with you the review of this AMAZING product!



I want to say I am LOVING this program! I have only done a few units so far and I already have learned and (more importantly) retained SO MUCH!!!

There are 16 discs total in the box.......there are 30 units and a reading lessons disc. It also comes with a link to an online reading booklet and owner's manual. You only do one unit a day and each unit is only about 30 minutes long. You don't move on to the next unit until you get about 80% correct of the current unit. With that being said, I have not had do a unit more than one time!



Let me give a little background on me and my Spanish language learning journey....I took two years of Spanish in high school (that was back in 2004 & 2005) and then I did take a refresher semester in college in 2012! With all of that, I knew very little still! It was so hard to retain for me! I mean I knew the basics but that is it. I have always wanted to know Spanish and be able to speak it clearly and understand it. When I seen this product, I had to give it a try! What did I have to lose?



I got WAY more than I expected! After just the first lesson I had learned and retained quite a bit. I was able to tell my husband (in Spanish) a few things that I learned and what they meant! After the first unit, you will be able to tell someone that you are an american and that you do not speak nor understand Spanish (or that you do...lol) and a few other things! You learn all this with just the first unit! I can not wait to continue with my daily units!

If you are wanting to learn Spanish (or any other language....they have many other courses for different languages), I HIGHLY recommend this source!

Simply Essentials Nail Clippers Review

Disclosure: I got this product as part of an advertorial.

As most of you know, I have two kids! One things about my son is...he HATES getting his finger nails and toe nails cut. The worse part is when my nail clippers won't cut the nails. My little munchkin has some pretty thick, strong nails and so it is hard to find nail clippers that will actually cut through his nails on the first clip. Sometimes I even have to cut two or three times to get through the nail. With him hating the whole process.....it makes it that much harder when my equipment is not functioning properly.



I have tried many different brands, types, and makes of finger nail clippers and have yet to find one that I want to stick with! That is until I found these Simply Essentials Nail Clippers!



The Simply Essentials nail clippers are, what I would call, industrial strength nail clippers. They are stainless steel and heavy duty. They are nice and sharp and so they cut through my little monster's thick nails the first cut and with ease! They are pretty large. However, the large size makes them easier to grip for me. Another awesome perk, they come with a one year guarantee!


I can honestly say that I have finally found the nail clippers that I will always purchase! If you want quality and functionality....then these nail clippers are the ones for you!

Nutra-Lift Anti-Aging Complex review

Disclosure: I got this product as part of an advertorial.

I have been chosen to review Nutra-Lift Rejuvenating “A” NANO RENEU™ The 24 KT GOLD Standard in Skin Care. 


I really like this formula. It has a thin consistency and it smells good. You wash your face and dry and then apply the product. The bottle states that if you have sensitive skin you should apply with a slightly damp face. I only need one pump of the product in order to cover my whole face, so the bottle will last a long time. I use it once a day. Another thing that I like about this product is that when I put it on, it kind of has a slight tingling effect to it. I have been using for about 2 weeks now and I have already started noticing a difference, especially in the wrinkles around my eyes! (My crows feet.......yes I am only 26 but I have crows feet already.....darn genes lol!)

I wanted to share what the company has to say about this specific product:

"Nutra-Lift® Rejuvenating “A” Nano Reneu™ PLUS GROWTH FACTORS: Advanced Anti-Aging Skincare 
Golden Collagenine, a NEW advanced Peptide is the latest weapon in the Anti-Aging war. A breakthrough in skin care technology, in a complex formula with Nanoconjugated 24k Gold Particles for remarkable effect on Collagen outgrowth.  The secret of youthful beauty, known by royalty in ancient China & India, is now proven by modern science.
