Lint Remover by Furzie



I received the Lint Remover by Furzie through a promotion.

Product Info:
  • Works to remove unwanted hair
  • Works on clothes, furniture, and upholstery
  • Lightweight
  • No refills required
  • Easy to clean
My dogs are tiny monster shedders. With them being part Pomeranian, they shed like crazy. When it came to removing pet hair from clothing, I had usually used adhesive lint rollers. It would take several adhesive strips to get one clothing item clean of pet hair, but the pet hair would continue to show up on areas I already went over. There's been times it would take more than five adhesive strips to get all the pet hair off a jacket. 

I had my doubts about the lint remover by Furzie. I figured, if the adhesive lint rollers couldn't free me of dog hair, how would a brush like lint roller be able to do it. 

I was so happy and surprised when I first used the lint remover by Furzie. A few brushes and the hair was gone from my pants. And let it be known, the first time I used the lint remover was after I brushed my dogs, so I was covered in hair. 

After awhile, the brush would stop picking up hair because it was already full of dog hair. I just swiped my finger across the bristles of the brush a few times to make the pet hair ball up to clean the brush off. The hair came off easily. I was ready to remove more pet hair within seconds. 

The lint remover was able to remove all the pet hair from my pants without needing any refills of any kind. I didn't really have to clean the brush in between time either, besides wiping my finger across the bristles to remove the hair. The brush didn't deposit any dog hair back on my pants either. 

The lint remover by Furzie exceeded my expectations. It's my go to lint remover to get pet hair off of my clothes after I brush my dogs. The product makes it so easy to be dog hair-free in a house with two shedders.

Healed By Love eBook & Giveaway


NEW BOOK RELEASE........
Book #1 The Bradens of Peaceful Harbor, Book #13 The Bradens series, Love in Bloom #25

Meet the Bradens of Peaceful Harbor and fall in love with Nate Braden & Jewel Fisher in Healed by Love.

Nate Braden has loved his best friend’s younger sister Jewel for as long as he can remember, but between their age difference and his respect for Rick, he’s always kept his feelings at bay. Now he’s back in Peaceful Harbor, and Jewel is no longer sixteen years old—but there’s an even bigger obstacle standing in his way. Nate and Rick joined the military together eight years earlier. Nate came home a hero, but Rick didn’t make it out alive.

THE BRADENS AT PEACEFUL HARBOR are one of the newest additions to the Braden series and the LOVE IN BLOOM family.

**CONTENT WARNING: Due to mature content, recommended for readers aged 18+**

***Review***
Healed By Love is an appropriately titled book. Love can bring people together in a time of need. It can also help a person move on from their inner demons.
Melissa Foster did a wonderful job presenting how love can help heal in this story. The main characters, Jewel and Nate, can help each other grow and continue living life after the hardships they've both faced. As long as they don't place blame on each other or themselves for things that happened in the passed, Nate and Jewel can be healed by love. 
Melissa made the characters come alive in her story. I ached with Jewel over the loss of her father and brother. I know what it's like to lose family and wanting to bottle up the remaining ones and keep them safe. Jewel has spent the past few years trying to be a big sister, a step-in parent, and her siblings' protector that it leaves no time for Jewel to just live for Jewel. Her demons happened to be the fear that's inside her, only Nate can make her realize that. Nate has been in the war. He may have come back alive, but he was still wounded by what happened during the war. Nate holds a deep secret that's eating him alive. Telling Jewel could either ease the pain or cause him to lose her for good.
Even the secondary characters were wonderfully portrayed. Each one had a personality that stood out. The Bradens are a wonderful and amusing family to read about. 
This story certainly put a few tears in my eyes when the characters were struggling with their losses, yet it brought a smile to my face with their love.

Slendertone Ab Flex Gel Pads



I received Replacement Gel Pads for Slendertone Ab Flex through a promotion.

Product Info:
  • Replacement gel pads (3 in each set)
  • Helps conduct electrical pulses that target nerves and muscles 
  • Medical grade & FDA approved standards
  • Pads last for 20 to 30 slendertone sessions 
When I first got these replacement pads, I was still using the first pair I had on my Slendertone Ab Flex. I just got it earlier this year. 

When it came time to replace my pads, I got out the replacement ones. The product description says they're suppose to be a no-mess design. Sadly, 1 or 2 of the replacement pads in each pack had the covers over the gel slip, so they were a bit messy. The same thing happened on the original gel pads that came in my Slendertone Ab Flex, so I wasn't too surprised by the mess the gel from the pads could be. 

The gel on the replacement pads I have used have been sticky, yet hold up well. They stick to the ab flex like they're suppose to without moving around, slipping, or falling off. 

The gel pads do help conduct the electrical pulses. I don't notice them all the time, but I hadn't before with the original pads either. How much I feel those electrical pulses depends on if I was working out or what I was doing while using the Slendertone Ab Flex and what setting I had the ab flex on. 


Overall, the replacement pads I've used have worked well, even though they were a little messy.

Naturalico Rechargeable Electronic Callus Remover



I received Naturalico's Rechargeable Electronic Callus Remover through a promotion.

Product Info:
  • Rechargeable (comes with power cord)
  • Comes with replacement head
  • Helps scrape away dead skin
  • Spins a full 360 degrees at speeds of 40 turns per second 
  • LED light to see trouble spots 
I had been wanting to try a electronic callus remover for awhile now. I have trouble spots at the bottom of my heel and below my little toe. No amount of lotion has helped remove those callus or dead skin that tends to build up there. Normal callus removers or files leave my feet feeling raw or don't get rid of much of the dead skin or built up calluses. 

When I received Naturalico's callus remover, I was impressed with what it all came with. Yes, the plug-in is a bit chunky and large, but it does work well and has a long cord to it. The extra head allows you to replace the old one once it's dull. There's a little brush that also helps remove dead skin from the device and helps clean it. 

When charging the device, there is a light at the button that lights up to indicate when it's charging and changes colors once it's done. The device does hold a decent amount of charge. I was able to get several uses out of it before I had to charge it again.

The cover is thin and small. It's easy to pop off or lose it. I wish there would cover would cover more or fit down further, but that would require more materials to make it that way. It's not a priority part of the product. 

The LED light is right below the head of the callus remover. It lights up when in use to help spot any trouble areas or give you more light to be able to see what you're doing.

The head of the callus remover does pop off, so it makes it easy to change and replace it. Although, you can see the electronic wires when you pop off the head. I would not recommend getting this product wet with a lot of water if you can avoid it.

This callus remover worked well to help remove a lot of the dead skin that had built up over time on my problem areas. It left my skin feeling soft and smooth without causing any irritation to the device. It's also easier to clean than any other file or other type of callus remover that I've tried.

Silicon Devices Comfort+ Bluetooth Earphone



I received the Silicone Devices Comfort+ Bluetooth Earphones through a promotion.

Product Info:
  • Wireless
  • Different size covers and ear locks
  • Lightweight
  • Clear sound
  • Cancel white noise 
When I first saw this product, I was a little worried about how well it would fit or stay on and in my ears. I tend to be pretty picky with my headphones because I don't like them slipping, falling out, or hurting my ears.

When the product arrived, I was impressed with the carrying case and what all came with the earphones. The case was the perfect size to keep all the parts to the earphones that help provide the customized fit in one place. 

Out of all the earphones I've tried in the past, this earphone set came with the most covers and ear locks. I was surprised at how much you could customize these earphones to ensure you have the most comfortable fit. 

The openings of my ears happens to be pretty small. The earphone set didn't fit the best in my ears. They stuck out a bit. It's not headphones I would where when I'm listening to music while I'm laying down because I tend to turn onto my sides. The ear locks help make sure the earphones stay in place, so these are earphones I'd wear when I'm up and moving.


Charging the earphones is easy. The product includes a USB charging cord, which is similar to the charging cord of an Android phone. The charging cord is short. There are lights to indicate when it's charging and when it's done on the side of the the earphone with the USB port on it. 

There is a green looking button on the earphones that turns them on, so you can connect them to your phone, tablet, or other device. 

The sound quality of these earphones is very good. It's a clear sound. The mic also works very well. When I've called people while wearing these earphones, they were able to hear me clearly without me having to yell or be very loud.

Check out these earphones on Amazon.
