Surpahs 5L Non-Slip Salad Spinner

If there is one thing that is a must have in the kitchen, its a salad spinner. Most people would think yeah right. Whats so special about a salad spinner that I need one? Well it saves time and saves you the headache of having wet food all over your plate (I hate when the water mixes with the rest of my dry food!). I have used a couple in the past but recently I got Surpahs 5L Non-Slip Salad Spinner and Im in love!




One would think that all salad spinners are the same-so not true. This salad spinner is amazing for a couple different reasons. First off this is the first salad spinner that I have ever owned that has a stop button on it. The stop button is for when its in a spin and say you forgot to add something to the mix. You can simple press the stop button and it stops the spinner in mid spin so you dont have to wait.
The next thing about this that I like is the handle. The handle is very easy to grasp. It also has a lock and unlock button on it so that you can lay down the handle to get a better grip on it to actually use it. I leave mine unlocked when I stick it in the fridge cause it just fits better. As for how well its spins, its great! The inside basket has a snap lid on it so the lid wont fly off the top in mid spin. This is also nice because you can snap on the lid and shake excess water off after you run it under water (then of course use spinner to get all water off!).




The spinner does a fantastic job getting all the water off and keeping your salad crisp (over saturated lettuce gets mushy). If you want to buy this wonderful salad spinner at a great price click here! I would never recommend a product that I didnt thoroughly test and try out myself. I did get this at a full promotional discount for my unbias review in return.

Surpahs Manual Swing Mini Blender, Spice Chopper, Food Processor

I love to cook and I love my kitchen appliances just as much as I love cooking! There are a couple things that I am actually missing from my appliance list and a food chopper just happens to be one. I normally would chop my stuff by hand but it becomes alot work when you have alot of chopping to do. I was very appeased when I was offered Surpahs Manual Swing Mini Blender, Spice Chopper, Food Processor for review!

First off this is a mini chopper that is a manual one. No batteries are required-just the force of a hand. It is really easy to use ( I will show how to in video down the page). It claims that it chops garlic, ginger, nuts, fruits and veggies. The chopper has 2 little stainless steel blades in it that twirl as you move the green handle on the top back and forth creating a have circle chop. There is a nice little finger groove that you can place your fingers to rest when your other hand is moving the green handle piece back and forth.



So like I mentioned earlier, it states it chops nuts. I decided to start off with jalapenos since they were getting too soft and I needed salsa. The first pepper I tried, I didnt cut into smaller pieces (I just cut it in half and threw it in there). That didnt work out so well on my end. The second pepper I had prepped by chopping it into 1 inch pieces. While this did better it, it didnt chop the pepper up the way I expected it. I was quite disappointed. I tried a garlic clove after my video. It also didnt chop up at all.


While this chopper looks cute and is mini for space storage, I cant recommend it at this time. It couldnt even chop a jalapeno pepper that I had pre-cut. At that point I should have just finished chopping it myself. So as for rating for this- I give it maybe 2 stars out of 5. If you want to chance your luck (some reviews have had great success with it but I didnt), you can click here to buy it.



I dont recommend things that I havent tried and loved myself.

Surpahs X-CUT 4 In 1 Multifunction Vegetable & Fruit Chopper, Slicer, Dicer

Normally when I cook I use my knives to do my chopping, dicing and slicing. Too many times, I have almost cut off my fingers and one time I actually cut off my knuckle! I needed a safer way to do this. I have had other choppers but they only used 1 head so I wasnt able to do much with them (they ended up in trash). Surpahs X-CUT 4 In 1 Multifunction Vegetable & Fruit Chopper, Slicer, Dicer has been an absolute life saver!

So first off, it does come with instructions but I have included a video at the bottom of this article to show how it works from start to finish and how all the different blades cut. There are 4 different types of blades that give you 4 different cuts along with 2 different push down guides (the grey blocks). 



The different types of cuts that you can achieve are a thicker cut for things like french fries. A medium block cut for smaller square cuts. A small block for cube shaped cuts. Finally a wedge cutter for all your fruits. The wedge cutter does have a specific grey block that goes with it so that you get the perfect cut every time. 



Taking this apart is super easy and it can go in the dishwasher with no problems. Each blade is stainless steel so it wont rust over time and become useless. I have included a short video of how to use each blade and the types of cuts it uses. So when you are ready to buy this, you can click here! I would never recommend a product that I havent tested and loved!  I did receive this at a promotional discount for my unbias review.

Set of 3 Tall Amber Glass Hurricane Candle Holders, Decorative Sphere Ball for Wedding Centerpiece and Home Decor, White Ball Candles Included

I had gotten these hurricane lights to review. First off they are absolutely gorgeous! They are alot heavier than expected and really well made.

The tallest one stands at 16 inches, then 14 inches and then 12 inches. I know in my video you really cant tell but thats cause of my fireplace and the angle its at. Each glass is made from a hearty glass which is what gives it the weight. The opening of the glass is approximately 5 inches across so you can definitely fit your hand in there to be able to interchange out candles.



 There are bulb candles that come with it but after they melt down you can put others in there. As for the melting down of these candles, I didnt notice any major dripping with them meaning they wont create a huge mess.

The stems of the glasses are sprayed with a gold glitter spray paint. The paint however doesnt chip off when scratched. These would look great on a table as a center piece or in a fireplace like I placed them. They are well worth the price that they are selling for.



If you are wanting to buy them, just click here. If you want to see them in real time, please feel free to watch my video below.

Murad 90-Day Rapid Lightening Regimen

Most people wouldnt be able to tell that I am a natural light blonde with fair skin by looking at me. While I havent seen that hair color in years, I still have the fair skin. With the fair skin, I get tons of freckles and red spots on my body because I dont have the ability to tan like others-I turn lobster! No matter how much I try the spots would never go away even with makeup! When I was asked to review Murads 90 Day Rapid Lightening Regimen, I jumped on it!

So when I got the kit, it explained everything to me and how it was supposed to work. I got this at the beginning of February so I have been using it for a little over 30 days. Results may vary from person to person so what I experience, you may or may not have same reaction! 

The first thing that you are going to do is cleanse. You dont need to precleanse your face because the cleanser comes in the kit! You are going to start with the Essential C Cleaner. Simply get a pearl sized drop over a damp face, rub it in really good. Then rinse with warm water and pat dry. A little bit of this goes a long way! Next you are going to get the Rapid Age and Spot Pigment Lightning Serum. You will only need one pump to do this step. Simply rub all over your face, neck and chest twice a day.
                                                                                                                                                                    

The third step (and final step) is hydration. In this step you are going to to use the Essential C Day Moisture Broad Spectrum SPF 30. You just need to apply it to your face, neck and chest. I love that this has SPF 30 in it because being fair skinned, I burn easily. Having this I know that it really is going to help protect me! Thats is it! Simple right?! So you are probably wondering-well I got 2 other bottles, what are those for? Well The Advanced Active Radiance serum is used in place of the Rapid Age Spot serum. You will only need a pea sized dot. The Radiance Peel is just meant to be used 1-2 times a week. You are going to put it on for about 10minutes then rinse. Dont do it more than twice a week because you can cause burns!!!!

So all this is lovely but how does it really work? Well like I said Ive been using it for about a month now. Being that I am fair skinned and burn easily, my freckles are so dark as if I were out in the sun all the time and able to tan. I have noticed a small difference but not a huge one. I think if I give it a little more time, it will definitely help especially with summer coming up and the times that I do forget to put on my sunscreen and I get my face burnt. Pic on the left is before and pic on right is after a month. 

 


















Overall I am pleased with some of the results for the amount of time that I have used it. I am sure that it will work on people with darker spots than I have (see pics). If you would like to purchase this $219 value kit at a great price right now(its $100 off!), click here! Trust me its well worth the money!

I would never recommend something that I didnt try out and love myself!

Yacun Women's Flame Design Halter Sexy Maxi Dress Evening Gown Plus Size

This dress is really up my alley style wise. I was so happy to see that they had plus sizes because I am 6'3 and plus sized. I did order up 2 sizes from my normal size because I was worried about these being Asian sizes. They are NOT Asian sizes but American sizes so you can order true to your size. The dress is long for most (not for me!) but I rather have it too long than not long enough!



So the dress is 95% Polyester and 5% spandex. It is to be washed separate and dry cleaned only (the tag is on the inside of the dress at the bottom). With this type of material t is meant to keep you feeling cool when it is hot and it also doesnt show any sweat spots. I ordered a 5x and the measurements are as follows- From top of dress to bottom it is 59 inches. From top of the back to bottom of dress it is 48 inches. From top of the back to the top of the neck ties it is 9 inches. From side to side it is 14.5 inches. It has alot of stretch to it so it is forgiving in the right areas.


There is one con to the dress and one opinion of mine that could be a could (its personal so I didnt count it against seller). The first con that is my own opinion is the breast size. Being that I ordered a 5X, I would hope that the breast size would be a little bit bigger. I wear a size K bra so I figured from the get go before ordering this that I might have some issues. After seeing some other reviews, I can see that it doesnt matter what bra size you are, it is a little revealing. The other con is the breast pads. These are white can easily be seen through the dress. They also are no set in place so they shift. I simply cut them out by making small cut on inside of breast and put few stitches in it to close hole back up.




Overall I still really like the dress. It is definitely me! I plan on wearing this as more of a pool dress with my bathing suit under it since it is so revealing in the boobie area.

Meaneor Women Autumn Casual Long Sleeve Colorblock Baseball T-Shirt Blouse Tops

First off I ordered a medium because thats the size shirt that is normally worn however I wish they sold a small because that woulda been a better fit. With that being said, I still gave it 5 stars because I really do believe it is a great product. So on to the review!



The shirt is 95% Rayon and 5% Spandex. This is not a cotton based shirt so it will not shrink in the dryer no matter how many times you wash and dry it. It will also not fade over times. I find it super soft where as others might not be the same as myself. With this kind of material it also helps with sweat spots meaning they wont show up nearly as bad as cotton tees would. This will keep you cooler in the hot weather and warmer in the cold because it is a retaining material.

I ordered a medium and the sizing is as follows. From the collar to end of the sleeve (the entire black part) it is 28 inches long. From one edge of the collar to the other edge of the collar it is 11 inches. From the highest point (top of shoulder) to bottom of shirt it is 24 inches. From the lowest point (lowest point on collar) to bottom of shirt it is 21 inches. The collar is a bit baggie yet there is still room to grow into it (I got for a preteen). Its not clingy or overly dramatic. The seams on it are amazing hidden well meaning that you cant really see where one starts and then other ends like other tees.


Overall even with the sizing issue, its a fantastic made shirt that is made to last for many years. Its definitely not flimsy or cheap see through material. I did get this at a full promotional discount for my unbias review in return.
