100pcs Heat Shrink Wire Connector Kit Waterproof Assorted 22-10GA Crimp Connector Electrical Set by SOLOOP

I showed these to my husband and he was more than happy to try them out for me. He said they will come in very handy for many different projects he does. The SOLOOP Heat Shrink Wire Connector Kit comes with 100 pieces as described. You get 40 pink/red, 40 blue, and 20 yellow connectors. The sizes are:
Pink/Red connector: Suits cable/ wire sizes 0.5-1.5mm2 18-22 GA
Blue connector: Suits cable/ wire sizes 1.5-2.5mm2 16-14 GA
Yellow connector: Suits cable/ wire sizes 4.0-6.0mm2 12-10 GA

They shrink easily using a heat gun and provide a tight seal. Saves you from having to add shrink tubing over the crimp. Once sealed, these connectors allow for visual inspection, prevent corrosion, and provide a waterproof seal. That waterproof seal will be great for outside uses! I tugged on the ends of the wires after crimped and sealed and they were very secure in the connector.

What the company states in the product description is very accurate:
* 100% Brand new high quality insulated crimp terminals
* Comply with all relevant European standards
* Durable Insulated crimp terminals.
* Guaranteed to hold the strong crimps
* Can be ideal used in marine and automobile applications
* For best results use a hot air gun until it reduces in size and the adhesive flows, filling gaps within the terminal

I would highly recommend these wire connectors. They are worth buying and my husband said he will definitely be using them as they save him some time in his projects and work well. I personally like that they also came in a resealable bag which well help keep them together so we don't have to go searching for them when needed!

No.1 Car Windshield Sunshade by #XShade

I have an SUV with leather interior and when it's been sitting in the sun, I have to make sure to sit on a towel or I get burned! I've been thinking of getting a sunshade but they all seem to take up a lot of room when not in use. Not this one!! This shade fits easily back into it's small pouch so I can just store it under my seat!

The material was a little thinner than I expected but doesn't seem to matter. It still completely blocks the sun. I love how easily it opens up to fit into my window. When I'm done, I just quickly fold it up, put it in it's pouch, and back under my seat. The days of burning my legs are over!!
I ordered the Jumbo which is 51"x31.5". It will easily fit in our truck windshield too. The directions are on their website but it's pretty self explanatory. I'm still getting the hang of twisting it right so it folds up but my husband can do it quickly (it's not hard!). I do like that it has a little band that goes around it once folded so it doesn't just spring open on you when you pull it out of the pouch. (last pic)

If looking for a way to keep your vehicle cooler in the summer without taking up a lot of space, this is definitely the product you need!! Order it at http://www.amazon.com/No-1-Car-Windshield-Sunshade-Slip/dp/B00E5OUOCQ

Babyolas Bath Toy Organizer


My son thinks this is so cool! He loves having all his bath toys to choose from in the tub with him at once. I love how easy it is to clean up his bath toys now.

I could not believe how much this holds too! You can see from the picture that he doesn't have little toys either. It comes with very strong suction cups attached to it plus 2 other suction cups with hooks to use for whatever (think hanging bath scrubbies) and 2 little toys. The mesh is well made and does not look like it will stretch out or rip like some others do. I have had it up for almost a week and it hasn't budged from where I put it.

Using this has allowed me to get rid of the toy basket in the bathroom which has made it look less cluttered. This is a great product for organizing bath toys and making the bathroom look less cluttered and neater. Anyone with kids will know how hard making things look less cluttered is! I highly recommend this bath toy organizer! You won't be sorry!

Glow In The Dark Star Stickers by Get Childish

I loved glow in the dark stars on my ceiling when I was little and I knew my 3yro would too. I was right! 
These are not your usual stars either! They are much nicer in quality than most I have seen. They come in a nice mesh bag and have adhesive, similar to a sticker, on them. I would say they are more like a thick decal which I love about them. They started glowing after only a couple minutes in the light too!
There are 100 pieces - 85 stars in 2 different sizes, 5 rockets, moons, and planets. Enough to cover the ceiling if you want! They were all very easy to put up! I even was able to easily remove a couple and re-stick them in a different spot without any issues!
They glow very bright! My son is so excited at bed time to see them! I never noticed a smell, like some have mentioned, until I put the bag to my nose and sniffed. There was a slight odor then but nothing bad at all. I haven't smelled anything in his room in the morning after the door being closed all night. I would highly recommend these stars.

Runners Pack/Runners Belt by Tapp Collections

I wanted something to use to carry my phone, ID, and keys with me while I was walking/hiking/running or even horseback riding. This belt is perfect!

Everything fit comfortably with room to spare. There was no bouncing around either. I tried it on the front of me and the back and both ways were very comfortable. 


The pocket is pleated so it only stretches out as much as it needs to so there's no "sagging". I easily fit my iPhone 5s with a slightly thicker case on it, ID and insurance cards (in a business card holder), and 1 key. 


I had to let the belt out almost all the way to fit me so it is for smaller builds. (I wear size 3-5 jeans/medium) I would recommend this belt to anyone looking!

I-Smile Replacement Bands for Fitbit Flex

These are very nice! They fit and feel like genuine Fitbit bands! I wear a small with 2-3 holes left/showing in both this and Fitbit brand so they are true to size. I love having a band to go with just about everything I wear!

I've been wearing them constantly since March 2nd and even wear it on my ankle often (with an extender of sorts I made) and they have held up great so far! The plastic seems to be a little stiffer to insert/remove the tracker but that's not a big deal to me. Hopefully that means it'll hold up longer than my Fitbit brand ones did! They ripped in a corner near the window.

I also love that they came with a METAL clasp for EACH band! That was very nice and makes it easy to just grab one and go. I haven't used the keepers that came with them yet but am planning on it shortly. They are also soft silicone so they shouldn't scratch my wrist like some others.

The only thing I'd say was I thought that the one band was supposed to be red when it's actually orange. Not a problem since I love orange, just wasn't expected.

If you are looking for an inexpensive way to expand your color options, I would highly recommend these! I would buy them again without a second thought!

*There are a couple bands missing from the picture - purple and lighter pink. There are also a couple Fitbit brand ones in my picture but you can't tell the difference! The charms are NOT included. Those are my own creations.*

50' Expandable Garden Hose by RY Gardener

This came exactly as described! It is extremely light weight which is a big deal to me! It will make watering my gardens SO much easier! The compact size also will make it easy to take with me in the horse trailer places. No more having to drag a heavy rubber hose, tripping on it, and having to undo kinks as you go.

The hose has very nice brass fittings so you don't have to worry about rust. It also came with 6 extra rubber washers which is nice since I seem to lose them. The brass fittings were easy to connect to the faucet outside. A "bonus" feature I haven't seen on other hoses was an on/off switch on the one brass end. No more having to turn the faucet off and on if you want to switch sprayers (or getting sprayed in the face!). Simply, turn the switch, change the attachment, then turn it back on and keep going!

It also came with an 8 function sprayer and a hose hanger that fits right over the faucet. I love the various options of the sprayer gives me. I haven't used it yet as it's still a little chilly here but did try out the hose using the on/off switch on the end.

This was the first expandable hose I have tried. I have always been interested in them but many I have looked at seemed flimsy. That is not the case with this one. It seems well made with 4 layers of latex and PVC. I am excited for the weather to warm up more so I can really put it to use!
