EZLid Silicone Lid And Food Cover Review


EZ_Lid_Silicon_Lid.jpg
When we have leftovers, I place them on containers and store them inside the fridge so that we can eat it again for the next meal. We have food containers at home but the problem is, the lids are often missing. When I received the EZ-Lid, I looked forward to trying it because these can serve as lids for food containers. Here is a quick product description from the company:

EZ-Lids are reusable food-grade silicone lids that create an airtight seal. It's the  perfect way to store food or reheat food.

To use simply place the EZ-Lid food cover on a smooth surface container like ceramic or melamine and then push down. That's it.

Overall EZ-Lids are a great addition in the kitchen.

EZ_Lid_Silicon_Lid.jpg
The EZ-Lid Silicone lid and food cover arrived in a simple plastic packaging. This came in a set of 2. The blue one measures 10.5 inches in diameter while the pink one measures 6 inches in diameter. One side of the EZ-Lid is smooth while the other one has a small handle.
EZ_Lid_Silicon_Lid.jpg
The EZ-Lid Silicone Lid and food cover is perfect to use on our containers with missing lids. For containers like melamine or ceramic, the smooth side forms an air-tight seal when I push the lid down and lift it up using the small handle. I can even lift the container using the handle of the EZ-Lid with a small amount of food inside with no problems.

Aside from that, I also like how I can use this as a microwave cover. It works well to protect against splatters and splashes when I'm heating something in the microwave.

These lids are easy to clean as well because they have a non-stick feature. Since they're super thin, they're easy to store as well. This works as it should and I like that I can use them to cover left over foods.

ABOUT THE BOOK:

Did you ever imagine what would be when the famous will appear in MineCraft
This is a great and funny book (With actual life facts of the famous) that will inspire your imagination to read more.
Great book for kids and Minecraft Lovers 

MY REVIEW:

Well, my daughter, who is 7 years old, likes this e-book. She's crazy about Minecraft and loved seeing the characters in this book. This e-book features 18 popular persons and each have been drawn looking like a Minecraft character. Each character has their own power, build rating, fashion rating, popularity rating and if they're a noob or not. I like that at the bottom of each character is a fact about the person which starts with "Did you know..." My 7 year old daughter read this by herself easily. This is a nice book for Minecraft lovers and kids to learn a little something about famous persons in the past.

Double Sunglasses Or Eyeglasses Holder For Cars From Superior Essentials Review


One time, as I went inside our car, I didn't notice that my sunglasses fell off my bag and into the driver's seat. Of course, when I sat down, I heard the "cracking" sound and I knew that I broke it. The sunglasses weren't that expensive but it was special because my sister gave that to me and I liked how it looked on me.

When I received the Double Sunglasses/Eyeglasses Holder For Cars, I knew this would be useful for me because I have prescription glasses. When I drive during the day, I use sunglasses and at night, I use my eyeglasses. Here is a quick product description from the company:

5" long by 1 5/8" wide
Simple one handed operation-No fumbling with buttons and clips
Mounts to all visors with wire Clip
Mounts to vent, with vent clip attachment
Can be mounted horizontally (All Vehicles) and vertically (Most Vehicles) when using with vent clip

The Double Sunglass/Eyeglass Holder from Superior Essentials can hold up to 2 pairs of glasses. I like how easy this is to install. There is a metal clip at the back of the sunglasses holder which fits securely on our Dodge Avenger's visor. It doesn't hinder with my driving and stays in place.

Placing my glasses/sunglasses in the plastic clip is easy. I can do it with one hand and I don't need to press any buttons to get my glasses. The plastic clip securely holds my glasses and it doesn't let my glasses slip off.

This sunglasses holder can also be placed on the vent with the included vent clip. I do prefer placing this on our visor because the weight of the sunglasses holder and the glasses tend to bring the vent down.

This is such a useful car accessory for me because it keeps my sunglasses in place and safe. It's easy to use, easy to install and easy to remove as well. There are no special tools needed to put this on the visor of our car. This looks durable and I like that it works as it should.

Sacko_Reusable_Tote_Bag.jpg
I always bring one or two tote bags with me when we go on trips so that our things will be organized. When we go to the beach, I use a tote bag for our towels, sunscreen and beach toys. I also like to bring a tote bag when we go to the grocery store so that I can minimize the plastic bags I'll bring home. When I received the Sacko Reusable Tote Bag, I looked forward t trying it.

There are 3 available colors for the Sacko Tote Bag and I chose the red/black/gray colored one. Here is a quick product description from the company:

goPure Naturals 100% Pure Lavender Oil Review


goPure_Essential_Lavender_Oil.jpg
I like using essential oils for aromatherapy because they work for me. One of my favorites is lavender because it's calming and smells nice. When I received the 100% Pure Lavender Oil from goPURE Naturals, I was super excited to try it.

The goPURE Naturals 100% Pure Lavener Oil arrived in a 4 oz. amber bottle with a dropper. The aroma of lavender is already seeping out of the bottle so I was happy because I can tell that this is concentrated and pure.
goPure_Essential_Lavender_Oil.jpg
The lavender oil has a clear color and a water-like consistency. The aroma of the oil is a bit overpowering by itself and in a 100 ml. water, I only need 5 drops of this to make our room smell nice.
goPure_Essential_Lavender_Oil.jpg
When dropped in water, the goPURE Naturals lavender oil forms insoluble droplets, similar to when oil is dropped in water.

I placed the mixture of the lavender oil and water in our aromatherapy diffuser and in just a few seconds after turning the diffuser on, our room smelled nice and wonderful. I like how calming and relaxing the scent of lavender is and I love how I only need a few drops of the goPURE Naturals Lavender Oil.

Northbooks Ruled 5x8 Notebook Review


Northbooks_5x8_Ruled_Notebook.jpg
I've always been picky about my notebooks. I like a notebook with a thick paper since I write in a heavy manner, which often results to marks on the next page. I also don't like it when ink bleeds through the other side of the paper.

When I received the Northbooks ruled notebook, I was super excited to see how the paper inside was. Here is a quick product description from the company:

Each notebook is 5x8 inches (13x20 cm) with rounded corners. This notebook is our go-to size for light work and for serious play, and it works great as a writing journal.

Northbooks_5x8_Ruled_Notebook.jpg
The ruled notebook from Northbooks has a simple look but the pages inside are really nice. The pages inside has a yellowish/brownish color and has a super smooth feel.
Northbooks_5x8_Ruled_Notebook.jpg
Each paper is thick enough for ink not to bleed through the page but not thick enough for the paper to feel stiff. I also like the thickness because my handwriting didn't go through the next paper.

The smoothness of each paper makes it feel like my pen just glides on the page. Aside from that, the size is just right if I wanted to bring this on a trip. It is small enough to be placed inside my bag but large enough for me to write notes.

SimpleOne Automatic Touchless Soap Dispenser Review


My daughters love washing their hands all throughout the day. They would wash their hands countless of times that our hand soap doesn't really last that long. I always buy the liquid hand soap with a pump but the problem is, at the end of the day, there would be drops of hand soap on the sink. When I received the SimpleOne Automatic Touchless Soap Dispenser, I was quite excited to try it.

The SimpleOne Automatic Touchless Soap Dispenser is available in 2 colors and I chose the white one. It arrived quickly and packed nicely.
I read the instructions included and set it up in our bathroom. This works on 4 x AAA batteries which isn't included in the box. The battery compartment is located at the bottom of the dispenser and can be opened and closed by unscrewing the battery cover.

The SimpleOne automatic touchless soap dispenser measures 223 mm in height, 138 mm in width from the spout to the back part. It can either hold a non-foaming hand soap or a hand sanitizer.
This can hold up to 6.8 ounces of liquid hand soap or hand sanitizer. This can be filled by lifting the back cover up. I like that the hole is big enough for me to easily fill up the soap dispenser without spilling or dropping soap on the sides of the dispenser.
 There is a power button at the back of the dispenser to activate or turn the dispenser on or turn it off.
The soap dispenser works by automatically dispensing a set volume of hand soap when I place my hand under the sensor. The sensor works on infrared technology and is sensitive. The volume of soap dispensed is consistent and is similar to the volume of a pump of soap from our old manual hand soap dispenser. The blue light on the tip of the spout also lights up during active dispensing and turns off when dispensing is done.

I love how sensitive the SimpleOne automatic soap dispenser is. It makes a light sound when dispensing which isn't irritating. I also like that this doesn't drip once the dispenser finishes dispensing soap.

The SimpleOne Automatic Touchless Soap Dispenser makes it easier for my daughters to wash their hands since they don't have to manually pump soap anymore. This automatic hand soap looks pretty and classy and works as it should.
