Expandable Garden Water Hose, 50 Ft by RY

With spring right around the corner and it already being in the 80s here in Texas, we are ahead of our game this year with planting all our vegetables and sodding our new yard. I have in the past used nothing but the traditional garden hoses that you can buy at Walmart. The problem with those is that they kink up bad and then you use them the water comes out in squirts cause it has sharp kinks in it. I was so happy when I was offered to review the Expandable Garden Hose that is 50ft by RY.

When you get this hose, it comes in a box that clearly states what it is. Taking it out of the box was easy and no instructions were needed even though they were provided. The hose is 50ft fully expanded (you can watch video provided at end of post). 

Going into some of the important details-On each end of the hose are brass ends so its not going to rust or break off the way others might. An 8 mode hose attachment is provided. The 8 modes are cone, flat, soaker, stream, full, angle, shower, and mist. The handle does not have a on/off switch but if you want to take off the handle while water is going that it easy enough! Unlike other hoses I have seen and used in the past, this one has an on/off switch on the brass part of the attachment on the hose. This means that once you flip that switch, you can easily take off the sprayer part of it without getting soaked!

This set up does come with a hose hanger and 6 extra washers in case you lose any. I already had a hose hanger up so I will keep the one they supplied as back up for sure. Overall I am really impressed with this. Ive never owned one and well its really nice not having to play untangle the folds and kinks on the hose.

Premium Easy Grip Jar Opener Fits Most Jar Sizes Supporting Those with Limited Hand Movement with Extra Leverage for Easy Opening

I do alot of remodel projects around my house so my hands get screwed up to the point its super painful to use my hands for little tasks such as opening jar. My husband isnt always around to open things for me. Ive tried those silicone round thingys but they suck and didnt work. After reading the positive reviews on this I figured to give it a shot.

The jar opener is a hard plastic on the outside lined with a silicone inside. One the outside of the handle there is little finger grooves on both sides. This makes it so that left handed people or right handed people can use it. The grooves also help you get a better grip on it. Moving to the inside of the jar opener, there is a lip. The lip fits comfortably over the jar so it gets a better grip on the lid. The nicest part of this to me is the fact that it has 4 different size holes. This is awesome to me cause it means I have basically a 4 in one tool. I dont have to have a bunch of jar openers for a bunch of   different sized jars.

Overall its a really useful tool. I plan on getting my 63 year old mother on as for she has issues too. Please feel free to check out my video for a more detailed look. If you would like to purchase this on Amazon, please feel free to click here.

VMATE® NEW Womens Vintage Satin Silk Envelope Evening Cocktail Party Handbag (Apparel)

I go to alot of military and private balls with my husband for his job. With that being said, I see the same people over and over again so I like to have new dresses and purses every time we go (Im a bargain hunter. lol). I had got this purse because it looked like me. It was simple yet girly and honestly would match any kind of dress I wore.

The purse itself is about 9 inches long and 6 inches high. The outside of it is a really soft satin like material. The pendent on the front is 3 flowers that are layered on top of each other. Each flower has multiple cubic zirconia stones in it to give it a beautiful bling whenever the light hits it. Moving up to the latch part of the purse, this is were it gets a little tricky. The latch is a ball with stones covering it (its really quite pretty). In order to open the purse you will need to use some force to push the ball back. The ball is what locks the purse but it barely moves and you need force to open it.

Once inside the purse, you will see that the inside is a light colored satin material (depends on what color purse you get of course). There is a pocket on one side of the purse that you can easily store keys, tampon, lipstick or whatever in it. In my video, I thought that it was a flap covering the pocket at first but it turns out that it was just a piece of fabric that was overlapping it. If this appears in your purse, I suggest you use a steamer or something heavy to flatten the flap so it doesnt do that over the pocket. The purse does come with 2 chains-one as a wristlet chain and one as a shoulder length chain in which you can easily switch out the two.

Overall its a pretty purse. The downfalls were the latch and that piece of fabric that was folded over the pocket on the inside. Please feel free to check out my video for more info. If you would like to buy this on amazon, please click here.

Wine Aerator & Spout Pourer By SySrion® - Vastly Improve the Flavor of Red, White & Rose Wines | Premium Aerating Pourer and Decanter Spout (2)

First off Ive had other aerators that I liked but after using these, I really am hooked on them. I did order the 2 pack set but in my video I know I made it sound like you could only order the two pack (damn wine. lol). You do have the option to order just one but I did order the two pack because sometimes I do have more than one bottle of wine open at a time and its a pain in the rear to keep switching one back and forth.

When you get these they come in a hard case, which is great for storage so that you dont lose the pieces when not in use. Each piece is all plastic except for a little silicone piece which is what keeps the aerator from slipping out of the bottle during the pouring. The air tube is detachable from the aerator part so that it makes it easier to clean. I did run mine through the dishwasher and it came out fine.

Please feel free to check out my video to see it in action and a more personable hands on experience. If you would like to purchase this from amazon, please feel free to click here.

Solid Color Parisian French 100% Wool Beret Womens Mens Unisex - Many Colors Available By CoverYourHair®

I had gotten this with the intent of looking stylish on bad hair days. Its really what it says it is-100% wool beret. I had gotten black figuring it would match my every growing wardrobe of black items.

When I got this the first thing I noticed was how light it was. All the full 100% wool items Ive owned have been uber heavy so this was a nice little surprise meaning I could actually wear it and not have a frizz hay day going on under it on the cold days! It says its a one size fits all but I dont think thats so true. I have a 22 inch circumfrance head and it was a (you fill in the word here) to get on. I think this would best fit people with heads under 20inches so be sure to measure your head before ordering. The head opening is about 6 inches and it doesnt have any kind of elastic in it.

The hat itself is quite durable. It has no visible stitching so it wont get snagged or ripped on something due to poor stitching. This also means that it wont get caught in your hair ripping out half of it on the way. Since it was too small for my head I gave it to my son to use as part of his costumes and he loves it. After hours of playing, it doesnt smell like dirty little boys sweaty head or have any other weird smells. I did throw it in the washer and it came out fine.

Overall its not a bad hat. I just dont think its a real one size fits all. Please feel free to check out my video. If you would like to buy this on amazon right now, please feel free to click here.

Zhenhui Luxury Elegant Vintage Style Jewelry Filigree Vine Double Drop Chandelier Earrings 5 Colors Fashion Accessories

Vintage jewelry just like clothing is really starting to make a comeback. I have always been a fan of vintage so when I saw these they looked perfect for me! When you get them they do come in a little plastic baggie and you are able to see right away if there is anything wrong with them.

The earrings are approximately 2.25 inches long from the bottom of the hook to the bottom of the larger tear drop. Each earring weighs approximately 3 grams each. The earring of course is comprised of two teardrops (one large and one small). The design in them is jus ta bunch of hoops and loops that come together to create a beautiful design. The two teardrops are connected by a single tiny loop but it is very secure so that it wont come apart.

On the backside of the earring, you can still see the design however its not as detailed as the front of it (which is ok!). I have worn these for a few days in a row for about 8 hours and had no issues. I have super sensitive ears ( I get cysts with cheap materials) and havent had any issues. There has been no fading or chipping of the color since I have worn them. Overall I love the style and they are not your dollar store version of earrings.

Galaxy Note 5 Case , ZuZo Secure Holster Shell & Belt Clip Kickstand Combo (Ultra Slim)[Lifetime Warranty] for Samsung Galaxy Note 5 - TPU Shockproof Protection

At first glance, it might appear basic and really plain looking but the truth is it works great. The case is a bit on the rugged looking side but you can always order stickers of a cover for the outside of it! So anyhow on to the review!

The case is approximately 6 inches long by 3 inches wide which will fit a Note 5 perfectly. The case that attaches to your phone is a hard plastic. it has all the openings for you volume buttons, camera, and etc. The only thing I dont like about it is that it doesnt have the piece that covers the whole top of it (it half covers the edges-see video for better explanation).

The belt clip part of it is made from the same kind of material as the phone case is. There is a velvet feeling like material that lines the inside of the belt clip so that it helps the phone case part not slide. The belt clip part of the phone only rotates 180 degrees so you can wear it sideways if you want or up and down depending on how you like it. When it comes to mounting your phone you can mount it with screen side out or screen side in towards the belt clip. The velvet material helps the screen from getting scratched up also.

Overall its not a bad phone case for $9. It really durable and will definitely help protect your phone. Please feel free to check out my video for more details. If you want to buy this on Amazon, please feel free to click here.

Zhenhui Gold-tone Rose Gold-tone Alloy Rhinestone Cubic Zirconia Hypoallergenic Pierced Huggie Hoop Earrings

I got the gold toned earrings. I normally dont wear hoops due to babies and grabbing things but now that babies are getting old, I can actually wear them. lol These are simply beautiful.

They came in a pretty little black bag (like other Zhenhui jewelry) so if ordering as a gift dont orry-they dont look cheap. The earrings size took me by surprise. I know reading a description and actually having them in hand is 2 different things. These were alot larger than I was expecting and they do have some weight to them. Each earring is about 2.5inches long and about 10-12 grams in weight. If you arent used to wearing heavy earrings, these might hurt after a few hours.

Each earring has 2 rows of 46 cubic zirconia jewels. This gives off the most beautiful blingy look. When the light catches it, you sparkle! The clasp on the back of the ear in one that snaps forward and pushes against the back of your earlobe. I wasnt too fond of these so I simply twisted them off. The earrings do come with 4 clear backs and 2 gold backings so I just used those instead. I have super sensitive ears-I get cysts behind my lobes with really cheap ones. I wore these for about 6 hours one day and had no issues. When they say they are hypoallergenic, they really are.

Overall these are beautiful earrings. They definitely dont look like cheap ones that you could buy at the flea market. You wont be disappointed in buying these. Please feel free to check out my video. If you would like to purchase these on Amazon, please click here.

VMATE® Women Celebrity Retro Messenger Bag Shoulder Packet Crossbody Satchel Lady Purse

I was really on the fence when ordering this one. I wasnt sure how well I was going to like it but the design of it intrigued me. I wanted a unique purse that nobody else has nor have they seen. I am so glad I took a chance on this!

In the pictures the purse looks pinkish to me (Im also colorblind so dont fault me!). The purse is actually more of a red color. So when I got it the first thing I noticed was the texture of it. The red part is a faux leather and then the swan itself is a cloth feel to it. I like this difference in texture-not sure why. lol. The whole swan on both sides and on the inside of the handle are cloth. The beak and face are faux leather.

So moving on. The purse has some weight to it. A nice feature about it is that it stands up on its own. When I say this I mean that the purse maintains its shape and wont fold into a big pile of mess when you put it down. The bottom of the purse does have feet which is another plus so when you set it on the ground or table, the bottom of the purse wont get scratched up. The backside (the side without the swan) has a handy zipper compartment and is all the faux leather.

Moving into the inside of the purse. It does have a dark lined material on the inside. This might be harder for some to find things in their purse-others wont care. On the side with the zipper on the outside, you have another zipper compartment on the inside. On the opposite side, there are 2 pockets. The inside of the purse is very roomy and you would easily be able to store lots of things such as wallet, keys, makeup, lotion, etc...

Overall I love this purse. I have used it out in public a couple of times and have gotten some amazing compliments on it. Trust me if you are on the fence about it, get it-you will love it! If you would like to purchase it on Amazon, please feel free to click here.

VMATE® NEW Frilly Loose Petal Flower Kissing Lock Clasp Fashion Clutch Evening Handbag

I love girly girl stuff. With that being said purses are my downfall. Most women want a closet full of shoes and clothes. Not me-I would be happy with that closet full of purses. So when I saw this. I figured I could get some great use out of it at Christmas balls that we go to and other high visible company parties for my husband.

When I got it, it looked liked the picture except for the fact that all the petals were smushed down. After I fluffed them up, they still were really floppy. To me it looked to busy. I wish that there was some way to see the different flowers from each other rather than just a bunch thrown together. Thats the only con I have for this purse. The petals are sown on really well so that they arent going to fall off after a couple of uses.

Going to the clasp area, this clasp is really heavy duty! Its not going to randomly open up on its own. What sets this clasp off from others on other purses I have, is the fact that it has two little jewels on it (see video). To me this sets it apart and gives it that little unique flare. Moving to the inside, it is a silky like material that lines the purse. There is a pocket so that you can store something in it and easily find it without losing it in the big open area of the purse.

This purse does come with 2 different chains. It has a really short on so that you can carry it on your wrist or with your hand. Then it has a longer chain that you can swap out on it to make it so that you can carry it on your shoulder. A nice little touch to this package is that you get a small package of beads. These beads are meant to stay in the envelope. With these you keep them in the purse when not in use and it keeps the inside of your purse smelling so good!

Overall its a pretty purse. The only thing for me was the petals but that might not be an issue for you. Please feel free to check out my video for a more comprehensive look at the purse. If you would like to purchase this on amazon, please click here.

NOHOO Toddler Kids Cute Cartoon Backpack Animal Shaped Shoulder Book Bag Gift

First off this is a toddler backpack. This is not meant to be used for heavy textbooks or school aged children-its just not made for that. So with that being said its the perfect size as an over night bag for a child, or as a cute purse for gals (or guys!) that want to be fashionable in some sort of sense.

So when you get the bag, the first thing you might notice is how incredibly soft and plush it is. It is made from a padded foam that gives it that squishy feeling. I got the dinosaur bag. It is approximately 10.5 inches wide by 11.5 inches tall. On the front of the bag, it does have a clear zipper pouch. The fire breathing dinosaur is attached to the backpack and not the clear lining so when you put something in there, it will cover him up. Going to the inside of the bag, it has 2 compartments. These are open spaces that are just separated by a foam insert that is sown in. The inside of the bag is a vinyl feeling material so it is easy to wipe down if something spills or it gets dirty. One last thing. The straps on the back of the bag are adjustable to make it the right length for your child.

Overall its really cute! It would be a great day bag or overnight bag for a youngin. Its well made-well sown together. Please feel free to check out my video. If you would like to purchase it on amazon right now, click here!

Big Heart Pendant Necklace with Swarovski Crystal Set in Platinum. MADE IN USA

Im not a huge fan of flowers and chocolates for Valentines Day. I like things that are going to last a lot longer and things that are more meaning full ie jewelry. This Big Heart Pendant Necklace with Swarovski Crystals is perfect! I ended up getting the Purple Heart and trust me you wont be disappointed!!!!

The necklace comes in a nice little gift box so it can be given directly as a gift rather than you trying to hunt down something to put it in. The pendent (the heart) on the necklace will be the first thing that captures the eye!

The heart weighs about grams. It is a little under 2 inches long and about 1 inch wide. The main piece of it (the heart) is the color that you chose. Then there is a small round stone that is placed inside the heart on the top right hand side that is a few shades lighter than the color you picked. Surrounding the heart is about 25 smaller clear cubic zirconias. This really reflects nicely in the light and gives it the right amount of sparkle. 

When it comes to the chain it is about 18.5 inches long but it does have an extender to make it 21.5 inches long. This works really well especially for gals that have larger necks. If for some reason it doesnt fit, the back side of the necklace has a hoop that the chain can easily be replaced. 

Overall its an exceptional piece. Its one that will last a lifetime over flowers or chocolates. This doesnt just have to be for Valentines Day! It would make a beautiful birthday present or mothers day gift! If you are wanting to buy this now, please click here. It comes in the colors-red, purple, violet, astral pink, and rosaline. Please feel free to check out my video for a more in detailed look!

Sapphyra® Women's Plus V Neck Half Sleeve Ruffled Formal Maxi Dress Size 1X-5X

From time to time I like to go salsa dancing. It is extremely popular down here in Texas and its super fun. With this type of dancing, you have to wear clothing that isnt restrictive in your movements. This is the perfect dress for it!

First off the dress is 85% polyester and 15% spandex. It has a little cling to it but it I love its poly. With this type of material it makes it breathable and after so many washes it wont shrink the way cotton does. So as for the dress makeup. It is a basic wrap dress with ruffles on all the edges. The top is a criss cross that comfortably fits any size breasted woman. the sleeves are about 3/4 down your arms so it covers your elbows. The bottom is wear I find it fun loving! It reminds me of a wrap but its sown together. What I mean by this is that it looks like they took one side-wrapped it across your body and sown it to the hip. Then they took a 2nd piece and crossed it over the other side of your body. With this criss cross it does create a slit that might make some uncomfortable. When you sit or cross your legs, it does NOT slit all the way up. You can still be very modest when sitting down wearing this dress.

I absolutely love this dress for my dancing nights. Its easy to move in and it flows gorgeous. Oh one quit last thing. I am 6'3 and the back of the dress hit me at my ankles. In the front it hit me about mid shin. It may fit longer on shorter people. Please feel free to watch my video. If you would like to buy this dress, just simply click here.
