Last week, I was sent an EatSmart Precision Pro Food Thermometer to review. EatSmart carries a wide range of kitchen & households scales, as well as other kitchen gadgets. The Precision Pro Food Thermometer is designed to be easy to use & durable. It reads temperatures in 5 seconds or less, giving it a rapid response time. It’s also splash proof. I’ve reviewed one of their scales in the past, so I was looking forward to testing out this thermometer. I have a corded meat thermometer that’s great if you are going to leave it in the oven, but it takes a long time to get a reading if I’m checking something really quick. With the Precision Pro, I can jab it in and get the time in a few seconds. It allows you to switch between Fahrenheit and Celsius, and has the cook to temperatures on the cap so that you’ll know if your meat is done. I’ve used it several times already and it saves a lot of time when compared to my old food thermometer. I really like that it has the cap so that ...

Give Some #BouqLove with The Bouqs
There are lots of occasions when flower bouquets are need. Aside from the typical occasion, like weddings, they can be very nice decorations for holidays. The quickest way to order flowers is online, but that can sometimes lead to irritation. Most of the time, the flowers are all stored on trucks if it’s a holiday and the flowers can be in bad shape by the time they arrive. We had that happen one time on Mother’s Day. My dad ordered flowers for my grandmother and they arrived at her door half dead. But now there is a great new alternative. You can order from The Bouqs. The Bouqs has been seen on seen on Shark Tank, O! Oprah Magazine, Forbes, E!, The Today Show, and Popsugar. They own their own farm and grow their flowers in rich soil from an active volcano. Since you are ordering directly from them, there is no middle man, which means you flowers will arrive faster and in great condition. Plus, this saves you a lot of money. Unlike other flower companies, The Bouqs chargers a $40 ...
Product Review – FulcrumGallery.com
Disclosure: I got this product as part of an advertorial. Last week, I got a chance to pick out a piece of artwork from FulcrumGallery.com. FulcrumGallery.com is a site that sells framed & canvas prints of artwork, photography and more. They have thousands of prints to choose form, and you can even get your own photo or artwork printed on canvas or as a framed print. I spent a long time browsing the art on their site and still probably only looked at a quarter of it. I ended up being drawing to the vintage movie poster section. They had all sorts of movie posters available for both new and old movies, and even tons of international posters. I started searching from random movies and came across ‘Doctor Who and the Daleks’ staring Peter Cushing. I’m a huge Dr. Who fan and instantly fell in love with the poster. For the print, I got a 1.5” Deep Canvas Wrap that was 11x 17. You can get thinner bars (0.75”), but I like the thick ones best. The canvas shipped within a few days ...
The SOI Candle Review & Giveaway [ENDED]
Disclosure: I got this product as part of an advertorial. Two weeks ago, I was sent a SOI Candle. SOI Candles are made of kosher soy oil, making them burn cleaners then regular paraffin wax candles. The wax stays cool to the touch, so you don’t have to worry about little ones getting burned. In fact, you can use the melted wax as a skin moisturizer. The candle I was sent is a Luxe Highball Candle (13.5 oz) in Manderin Ginger. You could smell the scent outside of the box right away. It was noticeable, but not what I would consider strong or overpowering. It was pleasant and different from any candles I’ve had before. Once lit, the scent spread around the room. After a while I poured a bit of the oil out. It didn’t even feel warm. I ended up using it on my elbows, and it left my skin nice and soft. Overall, I really like the candle. The scent is pleasant, and I love that you can use the wax as a moisturizer. They have several sizes of candles available. The Highball I received ...
Product Review – SURPAHS Precision Digital Kitchen Scale
A few weeks back, I received a SURPAHS Precision Digital Kitchen Scale. The scale is stainless steel, compact & lightweight, and accurately weights in grams, pounds, ounces, milliliters, and fluid ounces. It runs on two removable CR2032 batteries. The scale itself is very pretty to look at. I expected it to be a lot heavier than what it is. It’s also compact so you can store it without it taking up a lot of room. I tested it out by weighing several items, including food and objects. Everything measured correctly and the TARE feature worked perfectly. It’s also easy to switch through the measurement settings as well. I only found one slightly negative thing about it. I noticed that you barely have to hit the button to turn it on. So, if you barely knock into it or if it gets pressed into something in storage, it will turn on. It does have an auto-off function, but I don’t know how effective it would be if something was holding the button ...
Product Review – Scott’s Liquid Gold
Disclosure: I got this product as part of an advertorial. A few weeks ago, I was sent a can of Scott’s Liquid Gold Wood Cleaner & Preservative. Scott’s has been around since 1951 and has become a household name. It’s made in America, and is made of an organic oil formula with not silicone or wax. You can also use is on stainless steel, chrome and brass. My grandmother use to swear by Scott’s and used it on all her wood furniture. All of her end tables, coffee table & dining room hutch still look great even after being in storage for many years. I use them now, and aside from cleaning them up when I first got them, I haven’t ever really used anything on them. The coffee table gets a lot of use, so I decided to see how much of a difference Scott’s would make. There are a lot of spots on the back of the dowers due to age and how long the table was in storage. After wiping it down really good, many of the spots are gone and the ones that are still there are faded. ...
