Now I have the confidence to tackle more vinyl projects

I recorded a video of my first attempt using vinyl by Angel Crafts. The video is longer than I would have liked and I tried to speed up the vinyl cutting time. I was intimidated by the prospect of cutting and applying vinyl on my own but this vinyl was so good to work with. It cut easily, was a snap to weed, and quick to apply. It adheres very well once finally placed. 

I understand that the design I used was a very simple one and did not require intricate weeding but it has given me the confidence and desire to start the many ideas I've got in my head and even more projects I've been collecting on Pinterest. It was pure accident or maybe serendipity that the transfer paper was from the same company, but it worked very well with this vinyl.

A Handy Flashlight From LePower

This flashlight from LePower is very handy. It contains a lithium battery that is recharged through the USB port. It comes with a USB charging cable. It has a strong magnet along the length of the body and also straps that can be attached to both ends. There are four lighting modes of increasing brightness plus and blinking light. The charge on the battery will last for 5 hours on the brightest light and 100 hours on the dimmest. Since USB chargers are so prevalent these days, and I always have one in the car, this would also be a good flashlight to keep in my car.

I've got my fingers crossed that in a couple of months (by Spring) I will have significantly less unwanted hair

I was so excited to get the Me My Elos Hair Removal System. If you are reading this, then chances are that you are trying to get rid of unwanted hair like I am. I've plucked, waxed, shaved, and at times have given up. Having a hair removal system that can be used at home means that you don't have to undress for a stranger to spend a ridiculous amount of time while you are in embarrassing discomfort. This device lets me do it on my own schedule, in private, and where ever I want on my body.

The instructions are pretty good. They recommend that you watch the video on their website, but that website is not available. However, if you search for Me My Elos you can find the site and the video. You should try it on a small test area first to determine if your skin is sensitive to the process. You do not want to leave the device on one area very long and should not return to that area for at least 10 seconds. There are numerous warnings about not using the device if you have recently tanned or even if you are going to be in the sun a lot. With winter nearing, this is a great time of year for me to be working on my hair removal. Obviously, I won't know if this method truly works for at least a couple of months.

My current rating of 5 out of 5 stars is based on the fact that everything seems to be operating as described, the instructions are easy to follow, and the device is easy to use and care for. I made a video of me trying the product. I hope that I gave you some helpful information but if you have any questions, I will do my best to answer them based on my experience so far. I received this product for free in exchange for an honest and unbiased review.

6 Piece Measuring Set Saves Space and Doesn't Scatter

My family has a small lake cabin with very little room for storage with a raggedy, incomplete set of plastic measuring cups. So I thought the Professional Set of Plastic Measuring Spoons was just what we needed and it turns out that it was. There are 6 different colors and sizes ranging from 1/2 Tablespoon to 1 Cup. Since I was actually looking for measuring cups it wasn't a big concern for me, but if you are looking for measuring spoons you should understand that 1/2 Tablespoon is the smallest size. The colors are random so you might not receive the same combination as pictured. I got lucky in that the largest cup size, which I consider the dominant color, matches accessories in our cabin kitchen.

The measuring set is made of sturdy plastic and is dishwasher safe. Each piece has its size carved into the plastic. You might have to turn it slightly to get the right angle of light to read it. That is so much better than when the sizes are printed on plastic because they always fade away after use and leave you guessing the size. My favorite feature is the way the pieces all stack and snap into each other. That way not only are they compact and can fit in a drawer, they don't become separated. I don't have to search for the particular size I need.

Thyme Essential Oil..a new one for my foray into essential oils

The Thyme Essential Oil by Simply Earth comes in a 15 ml amber glass bottle with a Euro dropper. I've been acquiring essential oils to build up my collection for home made health and beauty products and to use in aromatherapy. Thyme oil is known as a natural antibiotic. When some bacteria and super bugs become resistant to drugs, natural antibiotics such as thyme can still be used. I got the thyme oil to use in a diffuser for aromatherapy and to make a lemon and thyme salt scrub for the skin. To my nose, thyme oil has an herby, medicinal smell, but as it diffuses and fades it becomes more pleasant. In aromatherapy, it is used to stimulate the mind and help concentration and can be used to treat respiratory problems with inhalation.

Disclosure: I received one or more of the products mentioned above in exchange for review from Giveaway Service website. Regardless, I only recommend products or services I use personally and believe will be good for my readers. Reference ID: pm1b285924d0afcc50d648fb83456e1c47

Chill, aerate and pour with one tool

The VinoVivo 3-in-1 Wine ChillerAerator/Pourer comes in two parts: the acrylic wine pourer/aerator and the stainless steel chill rod. The chill rod is heavy and feels very solid. It goes in your freezer for at least two hours before using, but can just be left in the freezer so that it is ready for the next use. The pourer/aerator screws on to the top of the rod. After pouring off a little wine, the pourer and rod are put into the bottle. Then your wine is chilled and it is aerated as it is poured. Aeration will help take away some of the harshness of wines with tannins. The device is easy to clean, washing by hand and letting it air dry.
