See What I Found For The Kitchen, Bath and Bike!

Back today with some great product finds I recently tested and recommend to my readers. First, if you are looking for great coverage in an Oven Mitt. One that really goes the distance up your arm to keep you covered and safe from burns and splatters, Crucible Cookware truly delivers. These are such awesome oven mitts. They are extra long and can be worn on either hand. Mitts are textured for a great grip and provide way more than just hand protection, they cover the lower part of your arm as well. They feel nice too with the cozy, quilted lining. They are quality made and available in red or black. You can order them right on Amazon. Check out my video review below for more:

Now back to the classics, classic shaving gear that is. This 100% Badger Bristle Shaving Brush by Perfecto is perfect for achieving that great lather that facilitates an awesome shaving experience. The handle fits so nice in the hand and provides a secure grip. It fits in most shaving stands and can be used for way more than shaving. Did you know you can use them to do detail cleaning of your keyboard, car dash, get deep in the crevices of hand card furniture and decorative moldings, polish shoes, use for powders, great for gun cleaning and much more. See our video below and if you want to learn more or purchase this classic Perfecto Shaving Brush, it is available on Amazon.

The final product for today I want to share is the Mocase Bike Bag. This is a great bag that fits over the center bar of your bike. This bag has plenty of room to carry your gear when cycling. It is easy to remove and has a removable strap to carry it. There is even a waterproof cap inside in case you get caught in the rain or want to be more visible. It has reflective trim that allows you to be seen by vehicles at night. There are lots of compartments and a bungee on the top you can secure things under. See my video review below for all the details. If you like it for yourself or someone else, you can check it out or order right on Amazon.

Let me know what you think.

I was provided with products to facilitate my reviews. As always I only recommend products I love.

Spring???

Where did you go??? Last week was so beautiful. I was able to fitness walk outside instead of on the treadmill, but than wham we got slammed with some snow. I am not really bummed because it is Spring, it is the end of March and we are moving into April. How long can it last? Even today was mild albeit snowing at some points. Oh, and I did get to see the flowers bloom. Crazy, you think I am crazy? I really am not that far gone yet. : ) My Hibiscus tree (inside) is blooming and it just gives everyone a taste of Spring, even my husband, who usually will complain about my houseplants. He complains because he is often the caretaker who gets stuck watering them. However, today he pointed the beautiful blossom out to me. The dogs enjoyed romping in the snow and the kiddies enjoyed playing in the fresh air on the porch. We have a few cool days but they will be nice and sunny. I am hopeful next week we will see higher temps and greener pastures. Until then I am enjoying the crackling fire and feeling cozy with my family.

Don’t forget our Scentsationals give-away ends soon so be sure and get your entries in. I am warming some cinnamon vanilla now and it smells so good. We have so many great reviews and give-aways coming up so make sure you subscribe to the blog and like us on Facebook so you don’t miss any. Happy Spring everyone!!!

Friday Fragments of My Mind!!!

I finally had a few minutes the other day to quickly go through my new issue of Martha Stewart Living. It had so many good articles and features, and I loved that she said it was time to start planting. It also happened to be a very nice sunny day here, albeit with snow still on the ground. I finally told my husband that I am thinking I would like him to build me another raised bed this season. He took it pretty well. Since we both VitaMix so much I want to add a lot more greens like Kale and Swiss Chard so I need more space. I figure if I brought it up now, he would have a lot of time to get used to it. In fact it took him no time at all to build me the two large raised beds last year and another one will be a cinch. : )

She had a lot of great recipes I want to try in the issue as well. She had quite a few pages dedicated to coffee cake and so many decadent varities that I just have to chose one and make it this weekend. The trouble is choosing because they all look so good. Maybe I will bake one every weekend until I have tried them all. We are going to be having some very rainy weather the next few days so baking fits in well.

I am antsy to try some kind of craft project too this weekend, but I cannot decide. I have so many ideas running through my head. I really want to make some kind of great family message and scheduling center. I cannot find anything like what I want so I know I will have to make it. With my big family and all of our crazy schedules it is hard to make something ready made fit. I have been doing a lot of brainstorming on this and have a lot of ideas. We will see how quickly I can get it onto paper so I can create this control center that I dream about.

Then I also have to decide what review and give-away I want to do next. Hmmm, should it be a cleaning product, super fun toy, great cutting and prep boards, closet organizers, the list just goes on. What would you like to see next?

It looks like I will be doing a lot of baking this weekend.

I need to do my review on the set of acrylic cookie stamps I received today from Gourmac. Michael’s birthday is the 13th so that will require a cake and I do have the supplies to try the cake pops again. Last but not least, I wanted to bake some cut-out sugar cookies with Ethan and Luke for Valentine’s Day. All this should make for a very sweet weekend. I will be having another contest for a set of brand new cookie stamps just like the ones that I am reviewing. They will be sent to the winner direct from the company and I will post rules later. We still have the “My Little Cupcake Pop Mold” giveaway going on so be sure to get in on that as it ends on the 14th. I have lots of other reviews and give-aways coming up so stay tuned.

Are you all doing some yummy baking for Valentine’s Day? Do tell. Well, I better rest up for my baking marathon. Have a good night everyone!
