Neck Pain Relief Pad

I received the Insta Cure Neck Pain Relief Pad through a promotion.

Product Info:

• Helps keep neck in place
• Cradles head 

I laughed when I first saw this product in person. It's such a cheaply made product. Made with plastic and foam. It was disappointing to see.

This product is a huge joke. 

It's not a one-size fits all type of product. It works best for smaller heads. I have a medium to small sized head and it fits okay. Larger heads wouldn't fit comfortably. 

If laying down and using this pad, it can help keep the neck in place and cushioned.

If using this with a chair, the curved end of the pad to fit on the back of the chair does not fit most chairs. In fact, it doesn't fit any of my chairs.

I'm lucky enough that I could get the pad to hang on my chair, but I'm afraid it'll wreck the fabric of my chair. I don't keep it on there unless my neck is bugging me.

This pad does NOT create a instant relief from neck pain. It does not cure neck pain either. This pad just helps hold the neck in a natural position to reduce strain on the neck. It will not heal or cure any previous condition nor prevent one from happening.

Pros:

- Helps hold neck in place

- Small to medium sized heads are cradled by pad

Cons:

- Pads don't fit on all chairs

- Pad does not fit all heads

- Very cheaply made 

- All heads (such as larger heads) will not fit this pad

- Will NOT crease or cause an instant cure to neck issues or pain

Andean Planet Bracelet

I received the Azurite & Silver Toggle Bracelet "Andean Planet" through a promotion.

Product Info:

• Made with .925 sterling silver and azurite 
• Toggle clasp 
• 7.25" long bracelet 
• Made in Peru 

The first thing I noticed about the andean planet bracelet when it came was that it came with a little booklet about "every treasure has a story..." I expected that booklet to be about the artist and the bracelet, but it talked about a Lace Sweetheart, bathed in gold, and a necklace. It had nothing to do with the bracelet, which disappointed me. Made me wonder if that's even the artist who worked on or designed the style of the bracelet.

The bracelet of itself is very pretty. I love the color of the beads and the detail of their painting. The sterling silver is very shiny and reflects the colors the beads are next to.

The bracelet does pinch skin at times or grabs arm hair.

The bracelet is small. It's 7.25" long with very little stretch. The lack of stretch makes me worried that it'll snap when putting the bracelet on or off. I have a small wrist. The bracelet fits on my wrist okay, yet it doesn't have the ability to move much. If the bracelet does move down my arm a bit, it leaves indents and marks from the bracelet. It's not entirely comfortable.

The clasp of the bracelet is a pain. I usually like toggle clasp, but the bracelet doesn't have enough length or stretch to get the bracelet on easily. It took several attempts to just get flat end of the toggle clasp through the loop. Trying to get the bracelet is just as difficult.

Pros:

- Beautiful Beads

Cons:

- Short bracelet 

- Toggle Clasp is difficult to get on and off

- Pinches skin / Pulls hair

Seaside Embrace Review & Giveaway

SEASIDE SUMMERS BOOK #6
Voted Beck Valley Books Reviewers Favorite Mini Series from the Love in Bloom Series in 2014

You met them in READ, WRITE, LOVE, (The Remingtons, Book 5), follow these friends on their search for forever love in the Seaside Summers series.

SEASIDE EMBRACE 
After working hard all day, creating his beautiful metal sculptures, sinfully sexy Hunter Lacroux likes to unwind with a hot, sexy babe--or two. But after spending a handful of naughty nights with seductive and beautiful Jana Garner, the woman who challenges everything he does and says, Hunter wants more.

As a dancer, boxer, actress, and waitress, Jana is tough, organized, and as dedicated as she is committed. She has to be to maintain her crazy schedule. But when it comes to men, Jana's had a string of bad relationships, and there's only thing she'll commit to--not committing.

White-hot passion ignites every time Jana and Hunter are together, but the closer Hunter gets, the faster Jana runs. When Hunter lays on the charm, Jana throws out a challenge she's sure he can't meet, and Hunter steps up to the plate, forcing her to face her hurtful past or let go of him forever.

SEASIDE EMBRACE is part of the SEASIDE SUMMERS series, and the newest addition to the "Love in Bloom" family. Each book may be read as a stand-alone novel, or as part of the series.

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

***REVIEW***

Seaside Embrace is a fantastic new addition to the Seaside series.  

The way this story started off, I knew the characters were in trouble, especially Jana.
Jana is a very strong, independent woman, who is insecure when it comes to her ability to commit to relationships. Jana loves to dance, box, and perform in theater. Lately, life has gotten crazy and out of control that Jana has had to cut back on the things she loves. 

Hunter is a creative and hard working when it comes to his sculptures and a major player in his personal life. He's not used to relationships or romance.  

Jana and Hunter are very similar with their player and non-commitment behavior. They often butt heads and get on each others nerves. Hunter finds Jana to be a challenge is willing to pursue a chance of being with Jana. Jana's insecurities about relationships and her past don't make it easy.  

Hunter's patience and ability to communicate with Jana impressed and pleased me. I couldn't put the book down. I was too curious to see if Hunter and Jana could work it out. 

I can't wait to see what is next for the Seaside Series. I would love to see what happens with Clark and Nina, Hunter's brother Grayson, or Jana's siblings.

Unbreakable Plastic Tumbler Set

I received the 8 oz Unbreakable Plastic Tumbler Set through a promotion.

Product Info:

• Set of 4
• 8 oz
• Dishwasher safe
• Mad eiwth Eastman Tritan Plastic
• Lightweight 
• Shatterproof 
• Stackable

The Scandinovia tumblers are a nice basic 8 oz cup. 

I usually use a plastic cup of when I get glasses of water each day at home. I prefer plastic cups when it comes to getting a quick drink.

These plastic cups are stackable, which makes them take up less room in my cupboards. I like it when plastic cups can stack because my glass cups I use during meals take up a lot of room. 

These cups are colorful and fun. I enjoy the design on the tumblers as well. 

These cups are easy to wash. They are dishwasher safe. The design and the shape of the cup does not create any issues with washing them in the dishwasher. 

The opening is wide and the cup's rim fits over your nose. With glasses on, I tend to bump my glasses with the rim of the glass if I don't tip my head back when I drink. 

I had to test the "unbreakableness" of these glasses. I took it as a challenge. I dropped and threw the cups on several different occasions. I started to get frustrated because the plastic cups would not crack or chip. 

The durability of these cups them good to use outdoors, for most kids, and for those who are clumsy, like me. 

Pros:

- Colorful

- Neat design

- Stackable

- Dishwasher safe

- Shatter proof

Cons:

- Rim of cup can bump against eye glasses if wearing them

Kukpo Plastic Mixing Bowls

I received the Kukpo Plastic Mixing Bowls through a promotion.

Product Info:

• 3 different sizes
• Dishwasher safe
• Freezer safe
• Skid free bottom

The three Kukpo mixing bowls are not quite what I expected. 

The bowls part of this set are nice. The plastic is thick and seems durable. 

The 3 sizes work well for different kinds of items that need mixing or for storing food items, such as chips.

The non-skid bottom can work depending on the amount of pressure or force used behind mixing items in the bowl. 

The lids are another story. Although the product description promotes that the lids are to be perfectly fitting, the product does not live up to expectations. Two out of the three lids did not fit and would keep popping up. Only the lid on the small bowl fit perfectly and had a tight seal.

The description claims the product is high quality. The bowls are good, but I expected the lids to be made with a good quality as well. I am very disappointed with how the lids are. They're a very thin and cheap plastic that doesn't fit as they should.

I tried pressing down on the circle in the middle, pressing down on the sides, and various areas on the lid. Nothing worked to make them seal as they should.

Pros:

- Bowl sizes

- Non-skid bottom

- Dishwasher safe

Cons:

- Lids do not fit

- Not high quality
