Sackpack 18''X13.75'' Gym Sack Bag Drawstring Backpack Sport Bag for Men & Women School Travel Backpack for Teens College Girls Sackpack (White Week)

 Product Link

This bag is the perfect representation of how a person feels during a normal work week. I work in retail so the days don't match up for me but, trust me, the feelings do! However, I didn't really have anything to do with this bag once I purchased it. It's the perfect gift for a teen or someone who loves emojies but I'm neither of those. I see how it's amusing but I knew someone else other than me that needed it more.

I will be honest, I gave it away.

A close friend recently went through a bed bug issue and lost pretty much everything cloth in her house. So, when I purchased this, I decided to give it to her. After everything she had gone through, it was exactly what she needed. She absolutely loves it and says that she would recommend it to anyone looking for a new bag. It's sturdy enough but not so heavy it will cause a problem and you just can't do better than the emojies! I would definitely recommend it and we both gave it five stars.

Flora Mcqueen Washable 15.7"x15.7"x3.3"(bottom gusset)x13"(hand drop) Resuable Cotton Canvas Tote Bag Designer Grocery Shopping Bags Convenient for Everyday Shopping Perfect for Crafting Decorating

 Product Link

When I purchased this reusable bag, I didn't purchase it for the reason that most people do. I didn't plan on using it to grocery shop and stay green, though I did get more of the bags to do that. I purchased this bag for my father. He makes custom pens and he needed something sturdy that he could use to deliver the pens that he makes.

It looks very unprofessional for him to carry plastic grocery bags around but this reusable bag can be used to carry his product without looking unprofessional. It's also a way for him to make sure he doesn't throw away anything important because it is in a plastic bag. This bag is awesome for that purpose. It's nice and sturdy and able to be cleaned very easily. If you're looking for a bag to carry important items in or grocery shop, I would definitely recommend this! I give it five stars!

Ellington Home 100% Cotton Premium Down Alternative Hypoallergenic Bed Sleeping Pillow, Made In USA, Queen, 2 Piece

 Product Link 

Tell me, who doesn't want a good pillow? A good pillow can make all the difference, I'm living proof of that. If you don't get the right one, you'll just end up tossing and turning with an aching neck and a headache. I've been there, we all have. I've tried probably a dozen different pillows and just recently found one that I absolutely love. However, I was still excited to try these, even though they didn't turn out to be my perfect pillows.

When you get these pillows, they come vacuum packed in plastic. Mine were stuffed in a box almost too small for them. It was comical, really, the box was just about round instead of square. As soon as you cut the plastic, the pillows will start inflating. However, I suggest giving them at least twenty four hours before using them. You want them fully fluffed before you sleep with them.

I actually used these pillows to lean against before sleeping with them and I can tell you that they're perfect for that. I write while sitting on a couch so being able to comfortably lean against pillows makes my writing much easier. However, my problem came when I tried to sleep with them. These pillows are very fluffy. Two made me feel like I bending my neck in an awkward, right degree angle while one wasn't enough to hold my head up right. They are moderately comfortable but a little too firm for me, personally. However, I really do like a soft pillow. So, keep that in mind when you're purchasing pillows. If you like super fluffy, firm pillows, these would perfect for you! If you like something softer and a little less huge, I would maybe look somewhere else.

Primode 20 Count Space Saver Vacuum Storage Bags

 Product Link 

To tell the truth, I never thought of myself as the type of person to use something like vacuum storage bags. It was just something I'd never seen used in my life so I did not understand how they were anymore useful than a plastic trash bag or a storage tote. However, I was excited when I was offered these bags to test. It's the perfect time for it, going from summer into spring. I'll be packing up my summer clothes and I'll try them out. I never expected I would like them as much as I do.

To test these bags, I got out one of the jumbo bags, which is HUGE. I did not expect it to be so large. Well, I thought that there was nothing better to try than a comforter that had just been in the way for forever. So, I creatively folded it to make it as evenly folded as possible and slid it into the bag. The instructions for sealing it are right on the bag so you really can't do wrong. You just put however much you want in, stop at the stop line, close the bag and suck the air out.

I was absolutely amazed but how much smaller the comforter became. It's a big, fluffy comforter that I've had no place to put for far too long and now it's perfectly stored, right under my bed, and I know that there's no way that any moisture is going to get into it and damage it. I am over the moon happy with these vacuum storage bags. The only tip I can give you is, don't even bother with the little pump that comes with the bags. It did not work at all for me. Just grab your vacuum cleaner. It will be much quicker and leave you with a much better seal. I would highly recommend these vacuum seal bags, you definitely won't regret them!

Flora Mcqueen 2 Pack Lunch Bag

Product Link 

When I received these lunch boxes, my dad looked at me like I was crazy. I do have a multitude of lunch boxes, but there's a reason for it. I endeavor to pack my lunch every day when I go to work. It makes it much easier to count calories and keep myself eating proper portions. When I don't pack, I end up buying something on the fly and it's rarely, if ever, good for me. But, the reason I need so many, is because I'm terrible about leaving them places… in my car, in my locker, underneath the service desk at work… You get the picture.

However, that's not the reason I was so happy about getting these lunch boxes. I've had some like them before and, I'm going to be up front with you here, they're some of the best you will ever have. They look very compact but hold a lot of food. They don't take up as much space as regular lunch bags but they still seem to keep things cool just as well. I can easily fit an entire, heavy, lunch into this bag along with a pop and an icepack without worrying about running out of space.

So far, these bags have been very sturdy, also. I've had a couple lunch bags where the stitching wasn't quite right and they ended up unraveling. I looked over these bags very carefully and only found one loose stitch on one of the bags that I quickly fixed. I've used them both and I didn't feel any give in them. I think they'll last quite a long time. On top of that, they're also very easy to clean. You can either just wipe them out or toss them in the washer. They are fabric. Overall, I would definitely recommend these lunch bags, you won't be disappointed!

Bolt Goods MINI Plastic Meal Prep Containers (10 Pack 12 Ounce)

 

Product Link 

 As someone who prepares their meals ahead of time to help with portion control and calorie counting, meal prep containers are very important to me. I do have a lot of them, I will admit that. I have some for storing large portions of meals, I have containers with multiple sections for putting complete meals into one containers and then I have some medium size containers for when I want to take a salad or a serving of soup as my entire meal. I did not have any small portion containers. The only way I could do small portions was as a side dish in a multiple portion container. These containers fixed that problem.

I have fallen in love with these containers. They are the perfect size for the meat portion of my meal. The way I grew up, we had a very bad habit of eating much too much meat and you can tell it by looking at me. So, I've been looking for a way to fight that habit and these small containers are just the way to do it. As I show in my picture, they fit two chicken legs perfectly, which is more than enough meat for a single meal. I know that fried chicken still isn't the best for me but I digress.

The reason I love these containers is because they're so resilient. They are pretty much safe for everything but the oven. You can put them in the freezer, in the microwave and in the dishwasher. That makes them so easy to use. I tend to store portions in them in the freezer, pop them into my lunch box and end by microwaving them and I've had no problem with these containers. They haven't warped at all, they still snap down tight and I'm not worried about them coming open in my lunch box. I wouldn't suggest putting anything that has a lot of liquid in them, because I'm not sure of how liquid tight they are, but I would definitely recommend them for anything else!

Green Earth Frying Pan 3-Piece Set by Ozeri (8", 10", 12"), with Textured Ceramic Non-Stick Coating from Germany (100% PTFE, PFOA and APEO Free)

 

Product Link 

When I first received this set of pans, I was a little wary of them for more than one reason. I read up on them when I first ordered them and saw there was varying reviews, some very good and some very, very bad. I had to wonder what the truth was really going to be. I have a couple of pans from this company already and absolutely love them but I know that some products are better than other. But, after using them, I am very happy to say that they completely live up to the other pans and I am very happy with them!

The price for these pans might seem a little steep but I assure you that they are well worth it. This set comes with three pans, an eight inch, ten inch and twelve inch pan. They're all very well constructed. I've owned cheap pans and these pans certainly are not cheap. There's no give in their handles and they certainly hold up to being used. I made sure to only use wooden utensils on mine and I would definitely recommend that you do the same. Otherwise, I would only use plastic or silicone. Any metal utensils could scratch the greblon coating on the pan and then it's non-stick properties would be gone.

I used these pans on an electric stove and I will admit that there is some discoloration to the bottom of one of the pans. I assume that it's because I had the heat too high and the pan on the heat for too long but it is something that I know some people would want to know. It only happened with one pan and I don't particularly care what the bottom of my pans look like anyway. Just be careful of the amount of heat you use if discoloration is a concern of yours.

Now, I'm sure you're wondering if the pans are truly non-stick. With the pictures I took, I used butter so it wasn't a true test but I did test by cooking hamburgers, turkey burgers and boneless, skinless chicken breast. Without anything to lubricate the pans, they didn't stick at all, which is very impressive. Turkey burgers are especially bad for sticking. As for cleaning, they just wipe right clean. There was no scrubbing or soaking or anything. I don't know if they'll stick worse with more use but, as of right now, they are impressively non-stick.

This set of pans also comes with pan protectors, bright green pieces of felt that you put between the pans to make sure they don't get scratched when you're storing them. I never thought of worrying about that before but it's very nice not to have to worry about it now. Overall, I would definitely give these pans the highest rating and recommend them to anyone looking for a new set. They're eco-friendly, very attractive, don't stick and are amazingly easy to clean. You definitely won't regret buying them!
