I review everyday products from home and decor to makeup to make your life easier! Need an honest opinion about something~you have come to the right blog!
I love my coffee. I am an addict however I love fresh brewed/grounded coffee. The fresher the better. While I love my coffee, I occasionally need a shot of espresso for that wake up jolt! I was able to get Minos Moka Pot Espresso Maker (3 cup). O my goodness, its gorgeous!
In the stock pics, it does appear to be larger than what it is. This is an espresso pot not a coffee pot. Espresso is usually 2 oz or less. This is a 5-6oz container so it is an appropriate size for it. The whole pot is stainless steel except for a silicone piece around the handle. There are 3 different colored handles that are interchangeable. There is also an extra ring that comes along with it for the inside of the maker (see video).
It is very easy to use and it has safety features in place to ensure nothing goes wrong. Starting at the very bottom, you want to fill it with water. There is no line that tells you how much to fill but 1/2 a cup is almost the right amount to put in the bottom of the pot without spilling (there is a safety vent).
Next you have the part where you want to put in your freshly grounded beans. Use the circular piece to flatten the beans and compact them. Once they are compacted, put the top part of the pot on. The pot can be used on electrical or gas stoves with no issues. When it is done boiling, when you pour your cup, the water will pass over the beans making your espresso!
This is super easy to use and very quick. You dont need some huge fancy espresso maker. All parts are easy to break down and wash. If you would like to read more reviews and buy it please click here. I did get this at a full promotional discount for my unbias review in return.
I screwed up my video so yall just need to imagine it while you read here. lol. So yes I got a 3rd dress from Dilanni. When it comes to ordering clothes off Amazon, its a hit or miss cause you dont know if they are Asian size or American sized. Well this one is American size but a little off. We will get to that.
I ordered a size up from what I normally wear cause I have tatas. I ordered a 4X. They said the measurements are as follows: Waist:50.5-56 and its a US 26-28W. The dress I measured is not that size. The waist is 22 inches wide. The sleeve is 23 inches long, From the highest point to the lowest point is 44 inches long and the lowest point to the lowest point at the bottom is 35 inches long.
The dress has 2 parts to it that are connected. It has a top lace layer and then the lining under it so its not see through. The top part is 94% Nylon, 6% Spandex; Lining: 96% Polyester, 4% Spandex. With that being said there is a tiny bit of give but if you are border line size, go up to the next size.
If you have larger breasts this might not work out well for you. To ensure that waist line stays under your breasts, you either have to pull it down in the front which makes it uncomfortable on your neck or you can pull it up and have the waist cut your boobies in half. The only other thing I didnt like about it is that it is form fitting around your midsection. This could very well be because I the dress I got was a little on the smaller side than what I like. Regardless its still a pretty dress. It will fit everyone different. IF you want to read more reviews and buy it you can click here.

I love to have dresses for every occasion. Most of my dresses are black but I figured I would venture out a little bit and get a different color for once in my life. I decided to get Dilanni’s Lace dress that is knee length. It is a pretty dark blue and made for plus size gals!
So I have gotten other dresses from this company. Some fit great and were the correct size they were label while others were a smaller fit for their tagged size. I decided to go up 1 size on this dress (4X) so the following measurements are based on that. Their site states that for a 4X the following are the measurements-> 4X-- Waist:50.5-56. The measurements I got were 20.5 inches for the waist, 16 inches for sleeve and 42 inches for length. The waist appears to be off. Usually you double the size so waist size I got was 41 inches and not 50. I suggest ordering 2 sizes up for a comfortable fit.
The dress is a pretty color with a nude backing at the top so that you don’t show too much cleavage. The entire top of the dress is lace with a blue underlaying garment so that it is not see through. This lace is delicate. When I put it on the first time, I already had a hole in the sleeve (you can see it in the video). The other con that I had is that its not made for busty gals or ones with shoulders. It was way too tight around my bust and the armpits weren’t snug against my pits making it impossible to move my arms freely without feeling like I was going to rip the dress.
While the dress is pretty, this the sizing is off. Granted had I known this and been able to order the correct size, Im sure it would have been an absolutely lovely dress to wear. I will probably end up giving it away because its just not a comfortable fit for me personally.

I love wearing dresses even if people only see me in tshirts, shorts and flipflops most of the time. if I could I would wear them everyday (but Jack doesnt like me looking nicer than he does. oy vey lol). Anyways I had gotten dresses from this company and loved them. I decided to get their Dilanni Women Elegant Formal Evening & Cocktail Party Lace Dress Double V Neck dress.
I normally wear a 3x/4x due to certain assets on my upper half. After reading the sizing for this dress (see pic) in comments, I decided that it would be best to order a 5X because I could always have it taken in. The specs that I got for the dress are as follows (remember it has elastic so it does expand). Waist is 23 inches. Length from lowest area is 36 inches and 44 inches from shoulder. From shoulder to bottom of sleeve is 19 inches. When I got the dress, It looked exactly like the pics. It didnt appear to be low cut or have any issues before putting it on. When I put it on thats when the issues appeared.
The dress was sorta tight on the top half even though I got a size up from what I normally order. This dress is not made for gals with a big bust. As you can see in the pics, there is a piece that goes under the bust line (almost like an empire waist). For me if I had put it wear it was to be worn correctly, it totally disappeared under my bust and the top V part showed alot of cleavage. If I pulled the top up to cover the girls, then that one piece would be cutting my tatas in half.
I had just started my video review, when I heard and felt ripping (which is why my video half way through got cut off-naughty words got cut out). In the second half of my video I showed were the ripping was occurring (in the elastic around the bust line). My bust line is within the limits of the 5X sizing so Im not sure why this happened.
I think its still a gorgeous dress. It would work well for ladies with a bust under a size E (my is over E so Im figuring E is a safe zone). I am going to try to find someone that maybe can fix the elastic area. Overall I still think its a well made dress. If you want to read more reviews or buy it you can click here.

Jack has this unhealthy obsession with mcgriddles. Well since I am the mean old wife that I am, I dont let him order them from mcdonalds. So he complains and throws his little hissy piss fit. I decided that I would make him 1 a weekend if he was good. lol. Well as we all know these are almost perfectly round elements. I decided to get Abam's silicone egg rings because they make the food exactly as I need it!
So in this pack comes 4 silicone rings. Each ring has a lever so to speak that sticks straight up when you are cooking with them so that you can pull them off without burning yourself. Each ring is about 5 inches across in width so it can easily hold an egg or make a perfectly round pancake. The rings can sustain heats up to 430 degrees.
They are super easy to use. You want to coat the ring with the food that you are going to cook or oil so that it doesnt slide out through the bottom when you pour it. It is essential that you keep the ring on a heated pain for at least 10 seconds before you pour in the food you want to cook. You then wait till the bottom part of your food is fully cooked before removing the ring. Once you remove it, you can flip your food as for its perfectly round and going to stay as a circle.
They are dishwasher safe. The silicone rings are also very affordable and will save you from lots of ugly food! If you would like to read more reviews or order it now, please click here. I did get this at a full promotional discount for my unbias review in return.
With Cameron being homeschooled this means I have more time to do stuff around the house and to teach him fun stuff. So far he has learned how to wash his own clothes, clean his own bathroom, etc. lol just kidding. We work but we play hard too. Cameron loves to cook and he wanted to know how do people make these awesome cakes with designs. I didnt think he was ready for a nice piping set so I decided to get NewXshop's Cake Decorating 9-Piece set for beginners. Piping can be hard if you dont know how to do it right. Having tips inside of the bag can be messy or if you are only wanting to do a little bit of icing but have a bunch of different designs, it becomes a pain having to switch out all the tips. This set cuts out all the mess and hassle. The set is all plastic-there are no springs or working parts that would make it hard to use. There are 8 different tips that you can screw on and off of the tube that holds the icing. The tube itself holds about 10-12 oz of icing. The way you push the icing down the tube is by a manual spring. It simply snaps onto the top on the tube and then you can control the amount of pressure applied to push down the spring to out the icing.
I had tried it out first to see how the designs were going to look. While there are 8 different piping heads, I found that they all looked almost the same coming out. The difference was the thickness of squirt. When Cameron tried it, he said same thing. He said its really easy to use but it really didnt do as many designs as we thought.
Personally I think its dollar store quality. Its feels cheap. Its not the worst I have seen but its definitely not worth $15 dollars. I would sell it maybe for $5-$8. Right now for the next 13 days, you can get it free through here. You will need to pay for postage but maybe your opinion might be slightly different.

Coming from a family of giants, I tend to slouch because I hate when people look at me and start asking a ton of questions of how tall are you, how do find clothes that fit, does your back hurt, etc. Well truth be told yes my back does hurt from slouching. Well I decided no more. No more slouching at the computer desk or when I am standing up to make others feel better (its really bad down here in South Texas with all short people). Anyways, I decided to give Yosoo back posture corrector a chance because honestly I forget have the time and its such a habit for me to slouch.
When you get the back posture corrector, there are no instructions with it. However with that being said, its super easy to use and you dont have to be a rocket scientist to figure it out. This will fit both men and women, young and old. My model is 12 years old, weighs about 130 and is about 5'5. Im 32 years old, weighs fat, and 6'3 but it works on both of us!
The material of the corrector is a neoprene material (the kind of material that knee braces and ankle braces are made from) so it breathes nicely. It has velcro straps on it so that you can properly adjust it (this helps depending on size of shoulders and width of armpits since it wraps under arms). It is washable however I dont recommend drying it cause you will break down the material.
So does it really work? My answer is definitely. The first few days, I found that my back was sorta sore cause I had been slouching for so long. After first couple days, my back didnt hurt and it started to feel alot better. I wear it about 6-7 hours a day (when sitting at computer and do other household chores). I honestly dont even notice that its there anymore.
The only issue that I had was my arms couldnt bend enough to get straps tight enough when I did it myself. I would have my husband or son help me tighten straps. Other than that its amazing!

In our house we have traditional paper and pen lists with cameron but somehow they always end up getting lost in the deep dark hollows of his room. I had chalk markers before but they just were meh. I decided to take a chance on Vellostars Chalk markers because of the reviews and I am honestly really happy I did!
The markers are extremely easy to use. When it is first time use, you will need to some extra work to get the ink flowing to the tips. Its easy enough though. All you have to do is gently press the tip to release pressure, then recap the marker and shake for 30 seconds holding it upright. Next you will need to take the cap off and hold the tip down until the ink runs through the tip (tip will go from white to the color of the lid). This is the only time you will have to do this. Whenever you want to use them after first time use all you need to do is shake them.
So how well do they actually work? Well pretty darn good. With others Ive tried they didnt dispense ink in a smooth pattern when writing with them (they would come out spotted). These come out at a constant flow so there is no breaking point in color as you write with it. Speaking of writing, this is the first set that I have came across that actually sends you extra tips (5). It also has the reversible tips so that you can do a bullet style or a chisel style so there is no need to buy more markers!
The colors are super vibrant and look amazing. You do get 10 in a pack-white, brown, red, green, black, baby blue, yellow, orange, hot pink and purple. These can be used on non-porous materials. They easily wipe off with a wet cloth. The best part about these is that they are non-toxic so if you have an fiesty cat like i do who feels the need to lick things, they wont get sick off it!
Overall I am really pleased with these. Ive used them on my car windows as well with no damage and it comes off super easy unlike the window chalk made for cars.

I have never been a big fan of dark chocolate by itself mostly because of the aftertaste it left. I decided that I would give it a try again and try something other than the stuff you buy in the grocery store. I was given the chance to try out Bouchard's Dark Chocolate.
This chocolate has changed my mind about dark chocolates. There are a few reasons but the biggest reason it changed my mind is because of the lack of overpowering aftertaste. It does have a minor aftertaste but it disappears within a min or two. It almost reminds me of the way a after dinner chocolate mint is in regards to after taste.
This chocolate is 72% cacao which is about normal for dark chocolates. The richer tasting brands have this % or more. Cheaper dark chocolates have maybe 50-60%. In regards to size, the nugget is approximately 1.5inches long and about 1 inch tall. Its very light and airy so when you put it in your mouth it starts to melt. you will need to chew a bit to get it swallowed or you can just leave in your mouth for about a min to melt it down.
Each chocolate is in an individual wrapper so If you only want maybe one or two of them at a time, you can have that amount without spoiling the rest of them. These chocolates can only be found in certain states at Costco! If you want to taste the wonderfulness of Bouchard's chocolate. be sure to hit up one of your friends to buy it!
