EA AromaCare - Aromatherapy Essential Oils Gift Set, Therapeutic Grade,100% Pure, (Lavender, Peppermint, Lemongrass, TeaTree, Eucalyptus, Bergamot) FREE ebook

 

I am here to introduce you to… my obsession.

No, I'm not kidding.

Ever since I started product testing, I have had an obsession with essential oils and essential oil diffusers. I have dozens of different oils and almost a dozen diffusers. There's just something different about each and every one of them so I don't want to get rid of them! I would say it's a sickness but essential oils are all about making you healthier so I can't say that! It was a given that I was going to accept this product when I got the offer.

This is the first set of oils I've gotten. Before this, all my oils have come individually so I was excited about that. I already have some of the scents but, every manufacturer is different with essential oils. One will most likely smell different than another. It's like the hundreds of vanilla candles you can buy. None of them smell exactly the same.

The box that these oils are in is very, very nice. If you're looking for a gift box of essential oils, you don't need to look any further! This a very nice, very affordable gift box of starter essential oils. The box is made to hold them safely and is also a very nice presentation piece. It's just a cardboard box but it doesn't look like one. It looks more… high class than that. I would definitely be comfortable giving out these oils as gifts!

You get six different oils in this box! They are what I call starter oils. They're common oils that have a lot of uses and can be mixed to make, well, kind of super oils. In this box, you will get Bergamot, Peppermint, Tea Tree, Lavender, Lemongrass and Eucalyptus essential oil. I will admit, they are very, very strong oils. You're going to smell them as soon as you open the box but that's a good thing! You don't need very much of them to use them for anything you need! You can mix them for a diffuser, put them in homemade healthy and beauty products or just use them for aromatherapy! They're very versatile!

My personal opinion of these oils is that they're high quality and that care was clearly taken in making them and packaging them. On top of the very nice box and the strong oils, this product also comes with a pamphlet that tells you a little bit about what each oil can do! If you're looking for a nice set of essential oils to start your collection with or a gift for the upcoming holiday season, I would definitely recommend them! You won't be disappointed!

Elegant Portable Yoga Mat Bag with Quality Zipper & Strap Printed Indian Design

 

Yoga was never really something that I thought I would get in to. I always thought it was, for lack of a better word, hocus pocus. It really is just fancy stretching, I never thought that it was going to help me. But, then I was lucky enough to receive a yoga mat to review and I absolutely fell in love with it. It's not that it helps so much with losing weight but it is very relaxing and can help with muscle aches.

The only problem I had was that I did not have a yoga mat bag! Yes, my yoga mat has a little carrier strap on it but it never worked all that well and usually just ended up slipping. So, I was excited to receive this bag. It would make it a lot easier to carry my yoga mat and I wouldn't have to worry about the strap slipping and dropping it in the middle of the sidewalk or something. When I got it, I was impressed as soon as I opened it! It's very nice and a lot sturdier than I thought it would be.

However, as you can see in one of my pictures, I have an oversized yoga mat so I was worried it simply wasn't going to fit in the bag. But, after some adjusting, I did get it to fit! I even had a little extra room to put my hot yoga towel inside and even with all my pulling and tugging, the bag didn't shown a single sign of letting loose. The zipper is a little hard to pull up and down when you have the bag really full but it didn't seem stressed. It's a nice quality zipper that I'm sure will last a while as long as you don't purposely try to destroy it.

The only issue I can see with this bag is that it doesn't really have any ventilation. For regular yoga, that's not such a big deal. But, if you're someone like me who tries to do hot yoga, it can end up with a very stinky bag. Even if that does happen, though, the bag is washable! Now, I would suggest being a little careful, use cold water and hang to dry so it doesn't shrink but it will be as good as new after that! I would definitely give this bag five stars! It's very sturdy, easy to clean and can even hold an oversized yoga mat! On top of that, it also has a very cute design that anyone would enjoy! It definitely gets my recommendation!

Drone with HD Camera Live Video - ZuZo® HT720 RC Quadcopter with HD Camera,4CH 2.4G 6-Axis Gyro With LED Lights, Wifi Drone with FPV Live Video Feed

 

I have to start this review with a simple question: Who doesn't want a drone?! It has always been a hope of mine but I never actually thought that I would get one! I've always liked remote controlled items. I used to have small RC trucks and the such and always had so much fun with them. I just usually ended up eventually making them crash and burn, like any other teenager would. However, they were always so much fun to play with so I was more than excited to receive this drone to test! I got to have all the fun and help a company in the process!

I do have videos of the first opening of this drone of my youtube. I didn't film them because I was at work at the time but my father was more than happy to open it for me! The drone does come completely put together, unlike the FX1. You don't have to add the guards yours or make sure all the screws are in. However, I would suggest making sure the guard is completely pushed down, as it just clicks in, and the camera in properly clicked on.

As I show in my video, it's as easy as putting the battery in and syncing the remote and drone to fly this drone! Well, there is one other thing you'll need… practice. The first time I flew the drone, I ended up flying it straight up to the ceiling, crashing and watching it helplessly fall to the ground. But, it survived! This drone is very durable and can take a lot of crashes. I have crashed it multiple times, sometimes even badly enough to knock off a propeller, and it's still flying just fine!

What is even more amazing about this drone is that it has live video capabilities! You do need to have a smart phone or tablet but it will work with android and apple! My phone is an android phone and all I had to was scan the QR code to download the app. You do need to connect to the phone via WIFI before you can use the app but there are instructions on the app to help you! I also show a short snippet of the live video in my video but the drones battery died right after so it's not as long as I would have liked!

The only downside is the battery life. You only get around seven to nine minutes battery life. It depends what you're doing how fast the battery drains. If you take the guards off, it will last long. If you keep the camera off, it will last longer but it's not going to go far beyond nine minutes if it goes past it at all. However, that doesn't change my opinion of this drone. It's absolutely amazing and I wouldn't hesitate buying another one just to play with! It's definitely a five star product that I would highly recommend!

Take a look at the video below to see the drone flying and the live video!

C&G Casual Nylon Lightweight Travel Camping Foldable Skin Backpack School Daypack

 

If there's one thing you need at this back to school time, it's going to be a back pack. However, if you're someone like me, you only use your back pack half the time and you need to be able to store it the rest of the time. For me, it's hard finding a place to store a full sized back pack. I live in a room inside a small house and have no closet to speak of. So, having something that can easily be quite a bit smaller is rather important to me and that's something this backpack can do!

My favorite feature of this backpack is the fact that it has a built in pouch for storing it. You just fold it up into the pouch and zip it up and your backpack is much, much smaller and easier to store away! It's great for the person with very little storage space as well as those that only use their backpacks during the school season and need to put them up when they're not going. That way you know it's safe and don't have to buy a new one next year!

It is a very good size for pretty much anyone. You, yourself can use it or your child can. It's not heavy at all and will be able to hold whatever you want it too. I have used mine to carry my laptop, my tablet and college text books. Its strong enough to carry all of that without straining or ripping but not so bulky that it adds extra weight to what you're carrying. You have multiple pockets to store items. I was lucky enough that my tablet fit in the front pocket which kept is safe from all the heavy books I carried. With all the different places to store items, this backpack is great for school or sports or anything you need it for.

One big draw is actually its price! I work in a retail store and I saw backpacks that weren't half as good as this one going for twenty or thirty dollars. For a very cheap price you get a very nice quality backpack that can be easily stored and used whenever you need it. It might not be brand name or a fashion statement but it's a nice, durable backpack that will last you quite a while as long as you don't try to destroy it. I would definitely recommend it!

The Oval Organizer - USA's BEST Mounting Plastic Grocery Bag Holder & Dispenser - storage container for kitchen pantry, closet & bathroom - Red or Black

 


If you're someone like me, you collect plastic, grocery store bags for no other reason than it's just something that's always been done in your house. Personally, I don't really use them for anything but I keep them anyway. The only time I really use them is when I make my dads lunch and that's once a week. However, they are useful for that so I keep around. When I was younger, my grandmother kept her plastic bags in an old milk container with a circle cut out of it. I wanted something a little classier than that.

I definitely got that in this oval organizer. It looks very, very nice. Compared to an old milk jug, it's absolutely amazing. It's not hard to use. It's just something to hold plastic bags, after all. All you do is stuff them in and that's that. You don't have to even open and close a complicated latch. But, putting it together was a little bit of an adventure for me. All it does is latch together. It comes flat, you curve it and push the pieces together. In theory, it's very simple.

But, as I said, I have a little bit of an adventure. When I first put together my oval organizer, I could not get it to stay together. It kept popping open on me. I had no idea what I was doing wrong so it was frustrating. I still can't tell you what I was doing wrong but, now, it stays together with absolutely no problem and I don't have to worry about it coming apart. To tell you the truth, I tried to pull it apart to take a picture of it flat and could not get it to come apart. So, that bodes well for the product!

I was disappointed with the suction cups, however. When I got this product, I put it right up on the side of my fridge and I was very happy with it... until it fell down. I don't know if I got a bad set of suctions cups or what but I can't get mine to stay up, no matter what I suction them to. I've tried the fridge, the back door, even a window and, always, eventually, it will fall. But, this organizer does come with a mounting set too. So, if you have the same problem that I did, I would definitely recommend using them!

Another thing that you need to keep in mind is that this organizer is very big. I expected it to be around the size of a Pringles can... and I was wrong. In one of my pictures, I had a helper hold up a bottle of sweet and sour sauce to show a size comparison. It really is that big. Just read the product description and really make sure that this product will fit where you want it to go. Overall, I believe this oval organizer is a four star product. It's something that is very useful but it seems like it could have been better thought out to me.
