Wholesome Home Set of 3 Paint Brushes

I received the Wholesome Home Set of 3 Paint Brushes through a promotion.

Product Info:

• Sizes: 1.5", 2.5", and 3"
• Works with acrylics, latex, and water based paint

When I received this product, the first thing I noticed was how light the brushes were. They didn't feel sturdy or durable. The handle was a little rough, which made me wonder if getting splinters from it was possible. Then handle is small enough it that it fits in my grip comfortably. 

The sizes are clearly labeled, which is good. It allows you to know which size you're using or asking for. 

The bristles were okay. They weren't the softest bristles I've had on a paint brush, but they weren't the roughest either. They good for basic painting. If you're wanting clean strokes and straight lines, this brush isn't what I would choose. Upon receiving the brushes, the bristles were already broken and sticking out everywhere. The packaging didn't keep them well protected. 

On the plus side, the bristles are very easy to clean and wash out. The paint comes out easily with these brushes.

WearMax Scratch Concealer

I received the WearMax Scratch Concealer through a promotion. 

Product Info:

• Hides white line scratches
• Ambient light helps cure or make Scratch work to create a permanent seal
• Works on hardwood flooring

When I first received this product, I was skeptical. I wasn't sure how well it would work because some scratches can be very deep and permanent. The Scratch bottle came with a piece of hardwood floor, similar to what I have in my bedroom, and a rag to test out this product. I was happy to test it out this way because I knew I wouldn't have to worry about ruining my flooring to test it.  

The wood was covered in scratches on all ends. 

The bottom of Scratch is a squeezable bottle with a nice twist open and close lid. It helps make applying Scratch a breeze and allows you to put the desired amount on without having to waste any of the product. 

The directions of how to use Scratch is listed write on the bottle. The text is small, but it's easy to read with the contrast of the white lettering to the dark green background.  Step 1: Shake bottle to blend contents. Apply Scratch with a soft cloth to clean, dry floor. Using a Circular motion wipe the area until all excess is removed. 

When I took this picture, I didn't use a cloth to apply Scratch onto the wood. Using a cloth allows you to use less of the product, but I wanted to show what the product looked like outside of the bottle. It looks like a clear liquid with a slight yellow or brownish tint to it. It reminds me of a gel like liquid. Not runny like water, but not thick like hair gel. 

Note: This product can irritate the eyes or skin, so be careful not to get it on there. There is a slight smell to this product, so do not allow prolonged inhalation. 

Step 2: Use a portable lamp as the light source, apply direct light to the treatment area for 4 or more hours.

When I took this photo of the sample, I stuck it under one of our light stands to use the light to help cure or get the Scratch to take action. Of course, with normal flooring, you can't pick it up and move it, so using a portable lamp like the directions suggest works.

The image of the after product still shows the scratches because it's a close up. Even after Scratch, the scratches can be noticed when you're close up to it. (And no, there usually isn't any lingering smells where the wood was treated with Scratch.)

From further away, the scratches appear as if they never happened.

Probiotic Chews for Dogs

I received the Probiotic Chews for dogs through a promotion.

Product Info:

• Duck-flavored 
• No wheat
• Supports digestive tract health 
• Supports bacterial balance
• Supports immune system
• Helps maintain regularity 
• Helps with itching and allergies
• Helps digestive issues and gas
• Produces enzymes to aid digestion 
• Supports overall wellness and energy 

The Daily Probiotics treat are very small and tiny. They're great for small dogs. I feel like bigger dogs, unless they're puppies, could swallow that treat whole. It's the perfect size for my dogs, since they're toy breeds. 

The smell isn't overpowering, not like some treats I've gotten for my dogs in the past. The smell is noticeable when the bag is open, but I don't notice it when the bag is closed. The bag has a nice resealable zip lock to it. Helps keep the treats fresh. 

The treats are a mix of a wet and dry dog treat. It's not mush wet, but there is some moisture to it. They're not overly soft where they're easily broken either. 

One of my dogs sometimes has a touchy stomach and will end up having to go to the bathroom right after she eats certain foods. She stole some of the treat from my other dog when we were trying it out. She had no problem digesting this probiotic. 

Both of my dogs seem to like the flavor and texture of this treat. They always get excited over someone messing with the treat bag.

Luxe Microfiber Kitchen Dish Towels

I received the Luxe Home Essentials Microfiber Kitchen Dish Towels through a promotion.

Product Info:

• Pack of 3
• Color: White
• 15 x 26 inches in size
• Durable
• More absorbent than cotton

The microfiber towels are very lightweight and soft. They felt nice on my hands, so I'm confident that they'd be gentle on my dishes as well. I wasn't worried about it leaving any scratches.

The first time I used the microfiber towels was after I washed my hands. They absorbed water from my hands quickly. Leaving my hands nice and dry in less than 30 seconds. I was surprised at how quickly they absorbed the water because I'm so used to using cotton towels.

The major test came when I accidentally spilled a glass of water a few days after I started using the microfiber towel. I spilled some on the floor, which I used a cotton towel on that. The counter also had water on it, so I used the microfiber towel there. The counter had more water that had been spilled, yet the microfiber towel soaked up more of the water on the counter than what the cotton towel had soaked up on the floor. 

The only issue I have with this towel is that it's white. I'm afraid that it'll get extremely dirty and it'll get a stain on it. I'm used to using colored towels or ones with patterns on it, so I wouldn't have to worry so much about stains.

Mini Flexible Tripod Stand for Cell Phone

I received the Mini Flexible Tripod Stand for Cell Phones through a promotion. 

Product Info:

• Portable 
• Lightweight 
• Collapsible 
• Durable 
• Flexible and adjustable 
• 360-degree swivel to angle phone

When I first received this tripod, the first thing that I noticed was how lightweight the tripod was. It surprised me. The lightness makes it easy to carry around with you when traveling, camping, hiking, etc. 

There's a rubber or silicone tab that you may pull on to fit the phone into the clamp. The clamp holds the phone tight to keep it from falling. The clamp does not fit on the phone length wise, but the swivel ball allows you to angle the phone up and down with the clamp holding the phone sideways. Bonus: The clamp spreads wide enough that you can fit a phone in without taking off it's case, even with an Otterbox.

The swivel ball allows you to angle the phone in all different directions. Although, I did notice the swivel ball can pop out if the clamp is pulled on too hard. The screw that helps close a clamp around the swivel ball does not close tight enough or the clamp doesn't go high enough to ensure that the ball stays in place. That could make less angles possible or that swivel ball to move as much as it can currently. 

The legs or stands has a soft fabric over the legs to help provide some grip and comfort with holding the tripod. The rubber feet at the button helps hold the tripod in place from sliding around. The legs are flexible, so it is able to be wrapped around a pole or surface. I just wish the legs had more of a gripper on them to make sure it is held in place.
