Grillinator BBQ Meat Claws for Shredding & Handling

#GrillinatorClaws
I am very impressed with these Grillinator BBQ Meat Claws for Shredding & Handling. I thought they would be a thinner plastic and kind of flimsy. I couldn’t have been more wrong. They are a hard sturdy plastic. We BBQ and smoke meat all the time and these are going to help out a lot. We smoked some pork roast and used these meat claws to pull it out of the smoker. We then added sauce and shredded the pork. These work way better then pulling it apart or using 2 forks. We purchased another set of meat claws that were metal and theses Grillinator BBQ Meat Claws are WAY better. The space between the claws is perfect! The place where the hand goes fits both my hand and my husband’s hand so either of us can use it, that’s a plus! After using I washed them in warm soapy water with a rag, Rinsed with hit water and then towel dried.

Blue Shoe Guys Chrome Metal Practice Violin Mute for 1/2, 3/4, 4/4 Violin | Heavy-Duty - Silver - 1 Pack ★ Love It Or It's 100% Free Guaranteed

#BlueShoeGuysChromeMetalPracticeViolinMutefor1/2,3/
My son has been playing the violin for a few years now. He practices all the time and was in search of a violin mute when I came across this Blue Shoe Guys violin mute. We were a bit concerned the mute might not just lower the volume but also make other sounds, rattling, or vibrations causing the quality of the sound to poorly. We didn’t have this issue at all. Instead it maintained the same quality of sound as it has without the mute. It is chrome and looks very nice. The quality of the mute is great! It made him very happy that the mute was easy for him to put on and take off himself. It also was very helpful that it fit into his case so he doesn’t have to worry about finding a place to put it when he is not using it.

Picnic Table Mat - Wind Resistant, Waterproof - Foldable Sturdy Plastic Mat to cover Dirty Picnic Tables. For Picnic, Camping, Travel, Tailgate Party. Quick Set Up, Easy to Clean

#Handymat

I thought these Picnic Table Mats would be perfect for when we go camping or to the park. We normally take a disposable table cloth or use bags that we lay down. These are a much better idea. I will say to make sure you know how many you will need before you go. The package came with 2 and they are not enough to cover the tables where we go. However, we used it to set dishes of food on. I would not recommend putting anything hot on them. We thought about it but changed our minds because the material used, we think it would cause problems such as melting or deforming the mat. They are super easy clean up and storage. I just wiped them clean with a bleach wipe, dried with a paper towel and folded them up to store with our camping gear. Since they are light weight, my youngest can even help carry it, set it up and put it away.

CELEMOON Ultra-Safe Lightweight Jump Rope, 9 ft Adjustable Cable, Anti-Slip Foam Grip Handles, BONUS Portable Carry/Storage Bag

#jumprope

My kids (ages 6, 12, 13) love to jump rope and recently broke their long one so I got this one for them to use. They love that they can play jump rope with one person holding each end and the other one jumping. Due to the age differences, it is great to have a jump rope we can adjust to fit the jumpers size. It is pretty easy to do; you just unscrew the cap on the grip(s) pull the rope out of the grip(s) and tie it off where you need it. Then you store the excess rope in the handles and screw the cap back on. The kids have been able to do this without adult help. The grips are soft foam that doesn’t irritate their skin. The grips also don’t slip out of their hands easily. I will say that the circumference of the grips is a little large for my 6 year old but she still uses it. The rope itself is very light weight and doesn’t tangle easy. It comes with a carrying case which is nice when they want to take it to the park. My husband and I have used it as well s, even though it says children’s the length of the rope (9ft.) allows for adults to be able to use it without an issue.

Keyboard Wrist Rest Pad - Mouse Pad Included - Ergonomic Support - Premium Quality Foam - New and Improved Shape Provides Comfort and Support to Hands

#CushionCare

Okay so here’s the thing. I type a lot for work and needed something that would help make it more comfortable. I had been using a regular mouse pad and nothing for the wrist by the keyboard. The pad on both the keyboard and the mouse pad are filled with what appears to be a soft silicone/jelly. This fabric on the outside is not scratchy, irritating or hard. The pads help angle my wrist better to keep them from hurting or being in any discomfort. The surface area of the mouse pad is perfect for me without me running out of room. I have used this set since I got them and they are quality made.

The Widest Hammock Tree Straps - With 2 Carabiner Hooks for Free- XL and Adjustable - Made of 100% Polyester. Perfect For Camping Outdoors

#promotion
We recently got a hammock but the small ropes don’t go around some of the larger trees in our area. These straps work awesome! There are 2 straps, each of which are 10 feet long and have 20 different loops to allow you to adjust to fit the trees you want. The trees are thick, heavy duty and are extremely sturdy. My husband is over 280 and they held him with no issues. My son and daughter (almost 150 combined) used them as well with no issues. 2 carabiner hooks are also included. They come in a handy case so you can take them with you. It was easy to get them back into the case without having to figure out how to make them fit. While it comes with everything you need, I did wish it came with instructions but luckily my husband knew how to use them so it wasn’t an issue. I thought about giving this 4 stars based on that but the product is so good, I couldn't see removing a star over not having the instructions. I think I might purchase 4 more sets so we each have one for our hammocks.

Tea Tree Oil (Australian) - 100% Pure & Natural - 45% Terpenin-4-ol - Triple Extra Quality Premium Therapeutic Grade - 1 fl oz

#NewYorkBiology
Tea tree oil has so many uses, it is a good idea to keep a bottle on hand. We work with an all-natural doctor who told us that we can use tee tree oil for things like nail fungus, sore throats, ear aches, wounds, infections, to keep lice away and many other things. So when the school had a lice outbreak I thought what better time could there be to add it to our shampoo and conditioning then now. Neither of my kids ended up with lice even though the majority of their classes did. There was confusion in my house over whether or not this is the same stuff to make some teas. It is not and shouldn’t be ingested. This bottle came with a little dropper. It was a glass bottle and a glass dropper. Both of which are good quality. The oil itself is high quality. I highly recommend this Tea Tree Oil.

Best Compression Gloves Copper Comfort- Helps Arthritis Speeds Recovery in Hands & Fingers - Highest Copper Percent GUARANTEED Pair of Gloves

#compressioncomfort
I spend a lot of time at my computer for work. I was told I should look into compression gloves for my hands when typing and doing other activities to help me with my pain from arthritis. I wasn’t really sure how well they could work, after all they are gloves. I was wrong! They work great. The gloves have helped with some swelling I normally get after typing for too long. As for the pain, I have noticed a slight difference from my normal pain to the pain I have after wearing these. They are soft and stretchy. I love that they are breathable and don’t cause my hands to sweat at all. My gloves fit perfect. Cleaning, which I did before wearing and have done a few times after wearing, is pretty simple. I throw then in a cold water wash. I then hang dry. They dry pretty quickly.

The Amazing Mop and Broom Holder

#DOKOIN
View/purchase on Amazon. http://www.amztk.com/broomholder1

We have tons of yard tools and they were starting to take over the shed. I was looking for a way to get them off the ground and make them easy to find. I wasn’t sure what I was looking for until I saw this. Then I realized this was exactly what I was looking for. It was super simple to hang. I just measured my tools, put the holder to the height I wanted it, made sure it was level and screwed it in. I was able to organize everything in a way that I can find it without struggling to look through everything. I am a little OCD so I like putting my shovels together, my rakes together and so on. It came with everything I needed to hang it (except the tools) which is super convenient. I have a few more tools then there were spaces so I I will be purchasing another one so I can get everything hung.

Extra Fit Body - Detox for Weight Loss

#ExtraFitBody

So I have a few issues when it comes to going number 2. I do not like to go when people are around or waiting for me. I never have and I can’t seem to get over it. The other thing is, I see a gastrointestinal Doc for my irregularity and issues with my bowels hating me. They suggested a fiber supplement for helping with the irregularity. They haven’t been of much help. Even when I take more than the recommended does. Someone suggested I try a weightless detox or colon cleanse to see if that would help. Well, I started off with 1 capsule instead of the 2 the package instructions tell you to. One got things moving just fine and I have a regular bathroom break every day. I do not get a bloated or icky feeling when I take them. Nor do I get gas, cramping pain or a sudden erg to make it to the bathroom before its too late. It is really nice to find something that doesn’t have all the side effects and to help get me regular.

Because I love to ride my bike, and do so not just during the day but also at dusk and dawn, I wanted to have lights on my bike for safety. When I came across this set I though awesome! Somewhere to put my phone as well. The set comes with a phone holder, light for the front and light for the back. This help you be visible no matter which direction a car maybe coming. I have a Samsung Note 7 (after recently switching from the Note 5), and both the phones fit in the phone holder. The cell phone holder has a silicone piece that adds extra hold to the phones and keeps them from going anywhere. It’s really nice that I can angle the phone so I am able to set it to where I like it versus it being stuck in a single angle. The front light reminds me of a mini flash light. But both the front and back lights are bright!

Set up didn’t take much time at all. But, you are going to need a screwdriver. You also will need 6 AAA batteries. 2 for the back light and 4 for the front. The front light unscrews like a flashlight and you add the batteries. The backlight the batteries go in where the bulbs are so you just pop the front cover off. Super easy! I needed a screw driver for the bracket on the back light but that was it.

Tennis Elbow Brace With Compression Pad - 2-Pack - Adjustable - Perfect for Tennis / Golf / Bowling / Weight Lifting - Treats Tendonitis / Tendinitis / Cubital Tunnel

#tenniselbowbrace
I work at a desk on the computer for more than 40 hours a week. With carper tunnel it gets to be painful some times. I was told a wrist compression wrap would be beneficial. While looking, I came across this Tennis Elbow Brace With Compression Pad - 2-Pack - Adjustable - Perfect for Tennis / Golf / Bowling / Weight Lifting - Treats Tendonitis / Tendinitis / Cubital Tunnel. It comes with 2 in the box which is great for someone who may need it for both arms or for a backup when one is being washed. The material, including where the pad is, is very breathable. It is also soft and didn’t cause me any irritation. I have found it to be comfortable. I will say I did not notice an immediate difference when I wear it and when I did not wear it. I did notice some relief after a few times of wearing it. They are well made and adjustable. With that being said size maybe an issue. I have a little bit wider arm than I should and they fit me. However, I had to make it as tight as possible to fit. My husband put it on and it would not stay because his arm was too big whenever he moved the strap came undone and it would fall. I think you need to be between a very specific size in order to have these fit without issues.

Best 5mm Knee Brace for Pain by Compression Comfort Sports Running Recovery Support Sleeve Improved Neoprene

#compressioncomfort
My husband is in a physically demanding job in the automotive/diesel field. Between his job and playing football in the past, he has injured his knee a number of times. The doctor recommended he get a compression sleeve for his knee. After reading reviews for this one, we figured we would give it a try. The sleeve is soft and stretches. He has been wearing all day at work since we got it. He said it is very comfortable to wear. He doesn't feel like it is too tight or too lose. It is breathable and doesn't cause excessive sweating like others he has tried. He washes it with cold water then hangs it to dry. He said he can feel the difference when he doesn't wear it. He really feels better when he has been wearing this sleeve.

16oz Stainless Steel Drinking Cups - Pack of 5 - Eco Friendly Metal Pint Glass Tumblers for the Family and Kids - Great for Kitchen, Outdoors, Grilling, Traveling, and Camping

#SteelHere

We were looking for good cup to use when we went camping. We came across these stainless steel cups. They are 16oz and come with 5 in a pack. The cups were exactly what we needed. The cups are durable enough to withstand camping. My daughter dropped one and it didn’t hurt the cup. I look at what material are used when I order things my family is going to use. I was very attracted to these when I read they do not have any BPA or lead. They are the perfect weight. They are not to heavy and not light. They are well made and no creases or seams. That was attractive for me because I hate worrying about creases and seams not getting cleaned all the way and harboring germs. The cups are perfect size to fit in the kids hands but also in adults hands. We have been using them for milkshakes and they work great!

Bambüsi by Belmint 8-Compartment Tea Storage Box with Hinged Lid ✦ Crafted of 100% Natural Bamboo (Hinged Lid)

#Belmint
I Love tea… A LOT! I have a lot of tea in a plastic container with an air tight lid. I noticed this Bambüsi by Belmint 8-Compartment Tea Storage Box with Hinged Lid ✦ Crafted of 100% Natural Bamboo (Hinged Lid) and thought it was would be a better place for my teas. When I got it and opened the box, I liked the look of the outside of the box. Mine was not a clear lid but instead a solid lid and I think I would have liked the look more had it been clear glass. Aside from that, I did find both pros and cons with this Teas Storage Box. It is a nice size that fits well in my cabinet. The storage size fits the width of the tea bags I have and it holds a lot of tea bags. The color is nice and it is not heavy so lifting it from a higher shelf isn’t an issue. There were a few things I wish were different. First the box is not at all air tight. The hinges are in the wrong spot so the box doesn’t close in a way to make it air tight. Also, inside of the box does not have enough height to fit some of my tea bags, I took some out and leaned the ones in the box back to help with this. The dividers are rough, as if not completely sanded down. I am thinking about sanding it slightly then sealing it which should help with that. However because it is not air tight, I have decided to use it for beads instead. It works perfect as a craft box.

J2 Line Camping Towels Set of 2 Compact Antibacterial Quick Dry - Microfiber Travel Towels Perfect for Gym, Fitness, Hiking, Beach, Yoga and Sports Set

#traveltowels

I have been using these J2 Line Camping Towels Set of 2 Compact Antibacterial Quick Dry - Microfiber Travel Towels Perfect for Gym, Fitness, Hiking, Beach, Yoga and Sports Set while riding my bike every day since I received them. The larger one my daughter takes to the pool and uses. The bag that it came in is reusable so we pack the towels back into the bag when we are going somewhere and want to take them with us. They are very soft and super absorbent. The material reminds me of the cloth that I use when drying my car. It soaks up a lot more than I expected them to. I have washed them a few times now and I hang dry them. They only take a few hours to dry. Washing them hasn't changed the feel or look (color) of the towels. My husband would like a set, in a different color so he has a set for the gym. He said they will be perfect for him to use there, especially the small one for wiping down the equipment when he is done using it.

Belt for Men 100% Genuine Leather Belt (Belt width:1.4 inches)[Trimmed to fit]HZ2067(32/Brown)

#brownbelt

The Belt for Men 100% Genuine Leather Belt (Belt width:1.4 inches)[Trimmed to fit]HZ2067(32/Brown) is a high quality belt. I normally like to buy belts in person because I want to know the quality by looking and touching it. However, I was very pleased with the look and feel of the belt. The belt fits very true to size. If it was too big, I could use the hole puncher that comes with the belt to place more holes where I need them. Because it is true to size, we did not need to use it. The length of the belt is spot on for the size I ordered. When I gave my husband this belt he was very pleased with it. He was able to wear it with his everyday clothes but also with his dress clothes and it worked and looked great with both styles. My husband although he loves the style is not sure it is 100% leather but he is okay with that because of the look and feel of it. I will be ordering another one for my son.
