23 Piece Sand Toy Set by Kangaroo

What a cute set! My son was so excited to check it out I almost couldn't get a picture! I was impressed with the quality of plastic in these toys. They don't feel like the really cheap type you buy at a discount store. They feel like they will last awhile. All the edges are rounded too which is very nice. No excess plastic hanging off from the molds. The large castle doubles as a bucket and the green strainer lid fits on it. That will be great for collecting shells in before we leave the beach!
I like the storage bag they came with also. Makes it nice to pack everything up and keep it together. This will definitely be going with us on vacation this year. In the meantime, my son is loving using them in his sandbox!

Universal Magnetic Car Vent Mount by Hawee

I was hesitant to buy this product at first because I did not have a magnetic case but figured I would give it a try and I'm very glad I did! There's no special case required as they give you three options to attach your phone to the vent mount. The mount itself is very subtle and covers a lot less of the vent then another mount I have which is quite nice.
I tried two different ways to attach it with my phone (iPhone 5se with a rubber and plastic case). I first used the metal plate between the case and my phone. Either my case it's too slick or too loose so that way did not work for me. I really liked the idea of it though! The other way I tried was attaching the round plate to the back of my case. This way worked perfect. You cannot see the plate since both are black and I still am able to use the stand on my case.
The mount itself held very nicely without wiggling around. There are two different slots on it for different sized vents so make sure you use the right one. You want it to fit snug. It held my phone firmly without any worry that it was going to fall. I was able to remove my phone from the mount easily when needed too. This would be nice for phones, iPods, GPS, and more!
Overall, this is a very nice product and easy to use. I would happily recommend it!

Great Bottle Stoppers by SIFAN

I don't know about you but I hate corks. I can't get them back in the bottle to save my life most of the time. These are great! Great for 're-corking' your wine, champagne, etc. They are easy to put in the bottle, fit nice and snug but are also simple to remove thanks to the flexibility of the silicone. (See pic)
I like how easy these wash up too compared to another style I have. I haven't tried it yet but others said they work to 'cork' a variety of bottles - beer, wine coolers, pop... Perfect for outside so you don't have to worry about bugs getting in it or accidentally spilling it!
Ok, enough reading - do yourself a favor and buy these. You won't be sorry as they are so simple to use and so handy!

Wireless Heart Rate Monitor by Zacro

I've been very curious as to what my heart rate is during various activities recently as the wrist tracker I have does not do heart rate. This monitor has been great for that! It is very comfortable which is really important. I actually forget I have it on! The strap is easily adjustable and very easy to put on. (See pic for close up of latch) I have worn this while outside working in 90 degree temperature and in the house just relaxing. It is waterproof so sweating while wearing it is not a big deal.
I like that not only can you replace the battery when needed but they also give you an extra battery! I thought that was a nice added bonus! This monitor is so simple to use. No buttons or switches to worry about. Simply put it on according to directions, make sure your Bluetooth on your phone is turned on and sync up the two together. Mine connected right away to the monitor. I use the Health app on my iPhone to monitor my heart rate but there are others you can use too.
Every Zacro product includes an 45 days money-back & 24-month warranty. So if you decide you don't like this monitor, simply contact them and go from there. I think you will like this one though! It's a simple to use, comfortable, and inexpensive monitor to track your heart rate. I highly recommend it!

Double Sided Vanity Mirror 1x, 5x by Surpahs

This is a very nice mirror! It is high quality and sturdy. There is some nice weight to it so it is not going to easily fall over if lightly bumped. I really like that the base has a nice rubber no-skid pad on it so it won't slide around on the counter. The chrome finish on it is high quality. Very smooth and shiny!
The size of the mirror in general is great. I can see my whole face at one time which is nice while putting on makeup. There is a regular side and a 5x magnification side to it. It turns easily and smoothly between the two sides. I really like the magnification for plucking my eyebrows! You can see the difference between them in my pictures. The mirror surface gives you a very crisp and clear reflection unlike some I've tried.
If you are looking for a nice vanity mirror, this is it! It is great quality and sure to last!

High Impact, Wire Free Sports Bra by Fittin

I love sports bras. They are a lot more comfortable than regular bras and I can go from everyday stuff to riding my horses without having to change first. This bra does exactly that. It gives excellent support without smashing me like some others too. It is very well made with soft material. I normally am not a fan of fat straps but these ones are comfortable and don't dig into my shoulders. They are also easily adjustable like a normal bra. The gray color is gorgeous.
The cups are lightly padded with removable pads. I love that since it still gives me a little shape. The back is a little different looking when on but very comfortable. It does have 3 hooks in the back like a bra so you can adjust the fit some.
The only thing I dislike is this bra seems to run a little small mainly in the bottom band. I'm a 32/34B so I ordered a medium. While the cups, shoulder straps, and back are very comfortable, the bottom band is not totally. It is a little tight even on the loosest hooks (picture is on middle hooks). I feel like I'm constantly being squeezed some. The elastic is well covered so there's nothing "cutting" at me, it's just too tight. I've only worn it a couple times for short periods because of this. That will be fine for a workout. I'm hoping the band will stretch a little over time so I can be able to wear it all day comfortably. EDIT: With some wear and hand stretching it a little, the band has relaxed some and is a lot more comfortable. I will be reviewing a large shortly too to see the difference.
Overall this is a very nicely made bra. It will give great support for various types of workouts from low to high impact. I would recommend ordering one size up though. (I will be ordering a large to compare since I do like this bra)
