MAGCAP Wall Mounted Bottle Opener With Magnetic Catching Bottle Cap Review


When we open bottles with bottle caps, the bottle caps would often fall somewhere and we would have to pick it up. Yes, it's sometimes a hassle so I looked forward to try the MAGCAP wall mounted bottle opener. Before I head on over to my review, here is a quick product description from the company:

This classic looking wall mounted bottle opener is equipped with hidden magnets that allow it to catch a bottle cap as it falls. It works as a normal traditional bottle opener with the extra magnetic feature. The bottle opener has a matted nickel finish and comes with two screws for mounting.
The MAGCAP Wall Mounted Bottle opener with magnetic catching bottle cap has a nice, matted nickel finish. I like that it can be mounted on a wall because it provides more stability and anchorage. It is easy to mount and the screws needed are already included.

This is easy to use and works like a normal bottle opener. Sometimes, I noticed that the bottle cap wouldn't stay on the magnetic part and falls down but most of the time, it works. This is effective and works like it should.

Comfy Commuter Travel Pillow Review


When I ride on the passenger seat of our car, I would always get car sickness after a while. Even when I was younger, I would need to close my eyes or sleep or I'll get car sickness. When I received the Comfy Commuter Travel Pillow, I looked forward to trying it. Before I head on over to my review, here is a quick product description from the company:

This travel neck pillow is unlike any other with a revolutionary new design that provides cushy support to the head and neck. The pillow is perfect for travel and home - such as watching television, resting, meditating or reading. The flat-back head support allows the user's head to rest most comfortably and does not force the user's head into a forward leaning postion. The pillow compresses beautifully into its own attached bag so you can have comfort and convenience! The pillow retails for $39.99 on Amazon. Features include:
  • Super plush polyester fill; exterior polyester & cotton
    Superior design that cradle head and neck in plush support
    Chin strap for additional neck support and snug fit (optional use)
    Compresses into attached bag for easy travel
    Ultra-light & washable
    Perfect gift for traveler
    Made in USA!
    Positive review from Wall Street Journal article "Desperately Seeking Slumber" 
First of all, I like the color of this pillow. It has a baby pink/black color combination which is really pretty. I like how handy and ultralight this neck pillow is because it's easy to bring on the go. I usually have to keep my neck straight when I'm the passenger because I get car sick easily. Using the Comfy Commuter during long drives provided me with great head and neck support.
The neck pillow is very soft and smooth and comfortable to wear. It has an attached chin velcro strap to keep it in place. It also has a built in sack to squeeze the pillow in for easy carrying and storage. The pillow does not deform and just bounces back to its original shape and form.

I like how this also keeps my head from getting a stiff neck when I fell asleep during our long drive. It supported my neck properly and kept it from dropping down to one side when I fell asleep. Even my 7 year old daughter loves it. I am so excited and would definitely bring this on our 13 hour flight soon.

Click N' Play Baking Set And Accessories For Dolls Review


My daughters love to play pretend cooking and they have different cooking toys at home. Sometimes, they would pretend that their doll is the one cooking and serving food so when I received the  Click N' Play Baking Set and Accessories, I was excited to show it to them. Before I head on over to my review, here is a short product description from the company:

A great pretend play for your kids set comes with a variety of baking utensils and bakers clothing for dolls. This cute activity toy is a great way to encourage creative play and motor skill development. Compatible for 18 inch dolls like the American girl. Full piece baking set sized to fit your 18 inch doll
Set includes; mixer, mixing bowl, recipes, spoon, spatula, measuring spoons, measuring Cup
Apron, chef hat, mittens, 2 cups, 2 plates, canister for baking ingredients
Cupcake tray and bite size cupcakes, cookie tray and bite size cookies
Great pretend play to keep your kids busy for hours. Packaged in a color box and makes an amazing gift. Carton size measures approximately 15 x 14 x 15 inches 

 This is a nice and cute pretend baking set for my 4 and 7 year old daughters. The colorful set consist of different miniature version of what I use in the kitchen for baking like a mixer, mixing bowl, recipes, spoon, spatula, measuring spoons and cup, canisters for the ingredients, an apron, a chef hat, mittens, pastel colored donuts, cupcakes and also a tray and a cake plate.
  My girls love to extend their help specially when I am baking cupcakes or brownies. They love to help combine and mix the ingredients. So this click n' play baking set is just perfect for them to practice their skills.
 The included accessories were small but super cute. There is a printed recipe which I think is cute too.
The smaller accessories are the perfect size for their 18 inch doll.
I also love how cute and dainty the donuts and cupcakes included in this set. They are made of light plastic and I wish they included a small bag for the accessories to keep them together. Because of their slightly smaller size, they are prone to getting lost in the long run.

This is a great alternative to keep them busy instead of always being on the tablet or computer. These enhances social skills, creativity and imagination. It is also nice to see both my girls to get along and play together.

Click N' Play Doll Salon Chair And Accessories Review


The Click N' Play Doll Salon Chair with accessories is a well made, durable toy. For its price, this is a great gift for young girls. My 2 daughters, who are 4 and 7, were so excited when they saw this. It came with the salon chair ( I had to assemble it but was easy since I just attached the base to the seat and put the screw underneath), 1 plastic blow dryer, 2 curlers, a plastic comb, 2 clips and a pretend flat iron. Before I head on over to my review, here is a short product description from the company:

Style your dolls hair with this salon doll chair. Adjust the seats height and foot rest. Set comes with make-believe hair accessories. Salon arm chair with upholstered seat and back
Accessories include; hair brush, hair clips, hair curler, hair dryer and nail clipper
Adjustable height, foot rest flips up and down
Perfect to fit 18 inch dolls of all styles
Chair measures approximately 15 1/2 inches high and ----- inches wide

The salon chair has a plush seat which made this look really cute. It also has a belt with a velcro snap on so that the doll stays in place. The accessories were small so I wouldn't recommend this to toddlers.
 The chair also has an attached belt with a velcro to keep the doll seated and in place.


The chair also has a moveable foot rest which flips up and down. I also had to install the foot rest by putting a screw on the foot rest holder, but still easy to do.
 The small accessories were super cute and although a bit small, it's perfect for their 18 inch doll. I just wish the accessories have a little bag included so that my daughters can easily store them and wouldn't accidentally get lost over time.
The salon chair moves up 3 times, by pressing the pink butterfly and moves down by pulling the silver lever up. Pushing it is a bit hard, so my 4 year old daughter always asks me for help, and needs to be supported at the base (or it kind of topples over) but otherwise, I love the mechanism of the chair going up and down like a real salon chair.

Overall, this is a cute toy and perfect for those who love to play pretend, like my daughters.

My 7 year old daughter loves to collect all sorts of dinosaur toys ever since she was 3. She has DVD's (Dino Dan) and watches Dinosaur Train, collects stuff toys and figurines (big and small). This 12 pieces of  5-7 inches Dinosaurs Species by Kids Imaginative is just perfect for her because it has 12 different dinosaur species which she loved to get to know better.

Each dinosaur measure differently, from 4 to 7 inches, which is actually a decent size. The dinosaurs are also lightweight and not that heavy but looks durable to withstand drops. Each dinosaur is uniquely made with very nice, vibrant colors. They are also safe with no tiny removable parts and also BPA and lead-free.

Click N' Play Doll Scooter For 18 Inch Dolls Review


 My daughters have an 18-inch doll which they love to play with. They dress her up, fix her hair and pretend they apply make-up for her. When they saw the Click N' Play Doll Scooter, they were super excited about it and because of their excitement, my 7 year old daughter assembled it herself. Before I head on over to my review, here is a quick product description from the company:

Let your doll ride around on this scooter. set includes helmet and goggles. Compatible with 18 inch dolls. 3 piece scooter set includes; scooter, helmet, goggles
Features working wheels, pretended handbrake, positioned footrest
Perfect to fit 18 inch dolls of all styles like American girl


 It arrived in a plain white box (not in a fancy packaging) which I think can be improved if this is to be given as a gift. It included the scooter, a pair of goggles and a doll helmet. The entire scooter is made of plastic with a smooth finish. It has a bigger purple front wheel and 2 smaller rear wheels.

I did have to put the included screw somewhere in between the bottom part of the handle bar and the footrest to keep it together.
The helmet's strap has a small buckle which I think is cute. My daughters loved that they were able to buckle up the helmet on their doll's head.

My daughters loved how this fitted their 18 inch doll and the goggles and the helmet fit their doll's head perfectly too. The toy scooter glides smoothly and the handle bar moves left and right. The handle bar has a pretend brake which doesn't actually move but is nice that it's there.

Overall, this is a nice doll scooter and love how my daughters loved playing with it.

Click N' Play 500-Pc Building Blocks From Click N' Play Review


My daughters love to build things using their Lego. They have several sets of Lego here and use them almost every day. Of course, they've mixed them all up and sometimes, they still need more pieces of blocks to complete their "town". When I received the Click N' Play 500-Pc. Building Blocks, I was excited to try these. Before I head on over to my review, here is a quick product description from the company:

500 piece Big Bag of assorted building bricks in various colors and sizes guaranteed to fit tight and compatible with Lego and other major building blocks manufacturers. Let your children be occupied for hour constructing to their imagination.
When I opened the bag, the first thing I noticed was that these building blocks has a good quality. The building blocks are thicker than the ones from the dollar tree and the colors of the blocks are vibrant. There are 10 different colors included in this bag and several different block size.
I also tried these with their Lego blocks and I'm glad that they are compatible.

Sometimes, my daughters have a hard time removing the stacked blocks, specially the smaller pieces but I help them with that.

This 500-Pc Set. of building blocks from Click N' Play is a nice addition to my daughters' blocks because it's more affordable but despite that, the quality is really nice. I've bought other generic blocks but the quality isn't that nice.

I also love how these blocks have a vibrant color which doesn't "fade" or look faded. The blocks are comparable to Lego with a much affordable price.
