Disclosure: I got this product as part of an advertorial. Last week, I was sent a Cassani Fogless shower mirror. The mirror is designed to keep from fogging up letting you shave or wash your face in the shower. It comes with a two stainless steel hooks: one for hanging the mirror and the other for your razor. I’ve seen a lot of the anti-fog mirrors in stores; most of them having you put water in the back heat the mirror. This mirror has a coating on it, so both my husband and I didn’t think it would work all that well. The mirror itself is very thin and light. I hug it up at the back of the shower where the water doesn’t directly hit and tried it out. Surprisingly, it doesn’t fog. My husband has used it several times already and hasn’t had an issue. Now, I’ve seen a lot of reviews on Amazon stating that after a few weeks it does start fogging. It fix this, Cassani says to wash it with either soap or toothpaste. I don’t really see where that would help, but if ours starts ...

Product Review – Solid Cordz 6 ft High Speed HDMI Cable with Ethernet (28 AWG)
Disclosure: I got this product as part of an advertorial. A few weeks back, I was set a pair of Solid Cordz 6 ft High Speed HDMI Cable with Ethernet (28 AWG). The HDMI cables are gold plated which give them better signal transfer, and they are double shielded to protect against EMI/RFI. They also support Dolby® TrueHD and DTS-HD Master AudioTM standards and are compatible with Xbox & PS3. Now, the Blu-ray cables and all that kind of stuff falls more into my husband’s realm of expertise. We’ve been using some High Speed HDMI cables there were slightly expensive at the time we bought them. They work…I can’t exactly tell you how well aside that the picture comes through good. To test these cables, I used one cable for our entertainment system and gave the other to my parents to use to hook up their Blu-ray player. With our player, I did notice an improvement with the picture & sound quality. The video is definitely crisper than what it was before. With my parents, there ...
Product Review – Valentia Even Glow Serum
Disclosure: I got this product as part of an advertorial. A few weeks ago, I was sent a bottle of Valentia Even Glow Serum. The serum is an antioxidant treatment made from Vitamin C that evens skin tone, increases glow & radiance, boosts collagen production, and reduces fine lines & wrinkles. Now, I normally scoff at this kind of stuff, having the opinion that it’s not going to work. I’ve been sent a few items in the past that were kind of similar and they did nothing aside from making my face itch for several days. The bottle is 1.18 fl oz and comes with a dropper. Following the directions, I shook it for a minute, and then opened it up. The first thing I noticed was the smell. It smelled like a fresh bag of oranges. I filled the dropped about halfway and put a drop on each cheek, one on my chin, one on my nose, and one on my forehead. I started rubbing it in. It absorbed into my skin quickly and didn’t leave any residue. The most noticeable thing that I saw right ...
Product Review – Adovia Dead Sea Mud Mask
Disclosure: I got this product as part of an advertorial. Last week, I was sent a tube of Adovia Dead Sea Mud Mask. The mask contains of 21 minerals that help keep skin healthier and act as an acne treatment. It tightens and purifies pores leaving your skin a clear, younger complexion. It can also be used and a spot treatment for acne and blackheads. I’ve used many brands of clay masks in the past that I’ve bought from the beauty department from the store. For the most part they are heavy, thick, and very hard to wash off. Several brands have even irritated my skin. This mask, however, is a way higher quality than the junk from the store. I was a bit dubious and figured that it would be the same as the others. The mask itself is very light and kind of creamy. It has a very pleasant smell to it, and it spread on quickly and easily. It dried within a few minutes and was easily flaking off without any water. My skin definitely felt a bit tighter and firmer. I also noticed that ...
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 – Purex No Sort for Colors
Two weeks ago, I was sent a bottle of the new Purex No Sort for Colors laundry detergent. The detergent has Anti-Color-Transfer Technology™ which traps loose dye in the wash and prevents it from getting on to your laundry. I’ve never used Purex before and was a bit dubious about it keeping colors from running. I normally use color catcher sheets in stuff that I know will run. I was also a bit leery about using it since we all have sensitive skin as well. So, I decided to try it in a load of towels first. Once dry, I noticed that the towels were a lot fluffier and had a pleasant smell. I don’t usually have any color running with towels, so I decided to give it a harder test. The next load I did was my husband clothes. It’s mostly his work stuff (black pants, blue button up shirts) and regular stuff. However, I added in his jeans as well. I normally wash them by themselves since the color runs on several pairs no matter what you do. After the load ran, I tool everything out to put ...
