Anguo Portable Battery Charger Power Bank on Amazon Prime

Review for the Portable Charger Power Bank 10000mAh Battery Packs-Ultra High Capacity 3-Port Anguo Portable Battery Charger for iPhone, iPad & Other Smart Devices (Black)

I've been thinking about getting a portable solar power bank for my phone and iPad but decided to get this one instead. It came almost fully charged and was immediately ready to use. It comes with a short USB which can be used to charge the battery pack itself or most Android devices. I had to use a different USB for my Apple devices.

I love this power bank! It's super easy to use. It charges super quick, is pretty lightweight, is less than the size of my palm, and has three USB ports to charge multiple devices at once. For the price and quality of this product, I really think it's amazing! I highly recommend this item.

Nature Restore Organic Maca Powder Review from Amazon Prime

Review: Nature Restore Organic Maca Powder 8 ounces

I've bought from Nature Restore in the past and always really like the items I get. This one is no exception. Of course, I love that it's raw, organic, and non-GMO and also that it's third party tested. I also like that it comes in a thick plastic resealable pouch.

I've used maca powder off and on for a few years now but am starting to use it regularly now for health benefits. If you don't know much about maca, check it out! It's an adaptogen that's high in certain nutrients and thought to regulate hormones and other things.

The taste, to me, is a bit of a malt flavor. I love adding it to smoothies and have put it in hot cereals and other things as well. It can be hard to stir into liquids so it's best whisked in to get rid of the lumps and fully incorporate it, or put it in a blender to get the job done.

---

On Amazon it's described as:

• 100% USDA Certified Organic Raw Maca Powder
• Hint of sweet potato taste, Certified Organic by Control Unions
• 45-60 Servings Per Bag, Recommended Serving Size 1 teaspoon
• 30 Day Money Back GUARANTEED, PACKAGING: Heat-sealed and re-closeable bag to retain its freshness
• Pure Maca Root, no fillers or additives, the ultimate maca superfood

Maca root powder is a fiber so always start with a small amount to test your tolerance. We recommend using half a teaspoon in the beginning. Maca has many benefits, including fertility, stamina, stress resistance and indigestion. Instead of using a maca supplement at added cost, why not go straight to bulk maca powder!

High in Protein, Fiber, Vitamin C, B Vitamins, Calcium, Iron, Potassium, Copper, Manganese and Fatty Acids.

You can get this product on Amazon Prime. You can get it discounted if you choose the Subscribe & Save option, but I think the price is already excellent at less than $10 for this bag, and a little goes a long way even when you use this daily.

CifToys Airplane Review from Amazon

Amazon Prime Product Review for
CifToys Kids Toy Airplane A380 Bump & Go Model Plane with Enchanting Flashing Lights
& Realistic Aircraft Sounds for Boys & Girls 3+

This airplane is a decent size, lightweight, and priced competitively. It has nice detailing on the toy. It requires 3 AA batteries which are not provided with the purchase.

It's really fun for toddlers and younger kids. It has a really catchy tune and lots of lights. It moves around but once it bumps (gently) into something, it changes direction and keeps going. The only thing I'd change is that it should have a way to lower or adjust the volume as it's a bit loud.

It was easy to install but it's also easy for my little one to pull the wings back out again. Something to keep in mind if your child likes to destroy things! LOL

Here's our two minute video review on YouTube with my toddler and I testing it out:

PinkWind Women's Plus Size Batwing Sleeve Crisscross Blouse Review

Available on Amazon Prime

Review for
PinkWind Women's Batwing Sleeve Crisscross Blouse / Top

The material is very comfortable and it's a very nice color. It's available in several colors on Amazon: black, grey, royal blue, and wine red. I chose the royal blue and it's a vibrant and beautiful hue.

I saw other reviewers stating it clung to their tummy and was tight in certain areas, but I didn't have that experience. The blouse is very flowing and not tight anywhere on me. It is stylish and fits very well. I always get compliments whenever I wear this shirt.

It's also constructed well. I noticed no loose threads or imperfections, and it washed well. I meant to hang it to dry but forgot and put it in the dryer, and it was still fine. It doesn't wrinkle easily, either, so that's a big plus for me!

Because of the way the sleeves are, you can't really fit a coat or sweater comfortably overtop as it does have the loose batwing sleeves. The material is warm enough for a cool spring or fall day or even a cooler summer day or evening, but it would likely be too hot to wear on a very warm day.

I've seen some other reviewers claiming the shirt is not cut as pictured, but everything looks the same on the one I got.

The blouse states it is plus size, but I got the regular X-Large size and it fit me well. I don't typically take size XL as I am usually in a size 6-8. For reference, I am about 5'4" and 135 pounds, so these shirts seem to run a bit small rather than being true to size. The sizes available are currently XL through 4X.

The Amazon description from the seller is:

• Material: 94% Viscose+6% Spandex.
• Sexy loose style, draped batwing sleeve, relaxed fit.
• Deep V neck bandage crisscross style.
• All-Match. Pair with your favorite leggings, skinny pants, shorts in spring, summer and autumn.
• Never Out of Fashion. Perfect for any casual occasion, school, office, party and club.
• This Style is New and Slimming! It will Make Your Tummy Look Flatter.
• Plus Size Design, Custom Made Item,True to US Size.

I did receive this item at a discount, but these are my honest opinions and I receive no incentive or compensation for writing my review.

SERENITA Big Paisley Pashmina Evening Shawl Review (Purchased on Amazon)

Review for Amazon Product: SERENITA Big Paisley Pashmina Evening Shawl

Available on Amazon Prime

This pashmina is much nicer than I anticipated. It’s super soft and a bit heavier than I expected, but incredibly beautiful, durable, and well-made. Another person said the pictures online don’t do it justice, and I agree.
It’s slightly larger than other pashminas I’ve gotten, but I like that because it covers better and is easier to create different custom wraps, shawls, or scarves. I plan to mainly wear as a shawl or shrug on the rare occasion I wear a dress or tank top.
It is fancy enough to wear to work, a nice dinner, or even the opera, yet it fits casual settings nicely as well.
Can be worn on either side/is reversible for a different pattern. One side has more of the lovely magenta and the other side is lighter with more of a tan color.
The current price as this review is being written is $10.00, which is very fair and comparable for its high quality and larger size.
Very highly recommended!

Seller description:

• 55% Acrylic, 45% Viscose
• Free Shipping (and some are available through Amazon Prime)
• Double Layer Woven Jacquard Thicker Pashmina
• Multiple Color Varieties Available
• Clean folded and wrapped in Plastic bag
• Size 70" X 28" inches with twist fringes

DANIU Dog Food Activity Bowl for Dogs Who Eat Too Fast

Amazon Review for
DANIU Dog Food Bowl Dish Stop Eating Too Fast
Slow Eat Choke Feeder 3 Colors

I wasn't sure how I felt about this dog food activity bowl at first. I wasn't sure if the grooves were too deep to be effective or if the design was really that great. It's designed to slow down how quickly a dog eats. After I tested it with my dog, how good is this bowl in my opinion?

My Review

After letting my dog eat from this bowl, it actually works really well. My dog is small, and the size is good for him. If you have a larger dog, you may need a larger bowl simply because the volume of food may be more than what my dog requires. For reference, my dog eats twice a day and weighs only about twenty pounds.

Because my dog usually inhales his food then starts coughing or wheezing, I knew it would be a good idea to look for a solution, and I found it in this activity bowl designed to slow down how fast a dog (or other pet) eats their food. At less than $10 and several colors and designs available on Amazon Prime, this was a good deal.

It is well constructed of what seems to be hard plastic. The bowl itself is durable and not flimsy, but there are four rubber pieces on the bottom to keep the bowl from moving. One of them did come out and that's the only issue I have with this bowl... The pieces on the bottom could be attached or adhered a bit better. Overall, however, this is a quality dog food dish and I would recommend it as well as purchase again knowing what I know now as far as performance, price, etc.

CifToys Bubble Blowing Toy Train Review (Purchased on Amazon)

Review for Amazon Item:
CifToys Bubble Blowing Toy Train - Battery Powered Steam Bubbles

My daughter loves trains, but I think even if she didn't, she'd still enjoy this toy. She LOVES bubbles! If you have a kid in your life (your child, niece/nephew, grandchild, cousin, sibling, etc) who loves either trains, or bubbles, OR BOTH, they will get quite a kick out of this toy.

The price is very comparable to similar toys on Amazon and I can vouch for the quality of this toy after trying it out. You can buy it here on Amazon. (*this IS NOT an affiliate link)

WHAT MY DAUGHTER LOVED MOST:

My daughter loved the bubbles, of course. She also really liked the way the train moved around in different directions and had fun "chasing" it around the kitchen. It has lots of lights and a fun tune, so it holds a child's attention for more than a few seconds (at least in my experience). She always asks to play with the bubble train.

WHAT I LOVED MOST (and LEAST):

The CifToys Bubble Blowing Toy Train came with free shipping with my Amazon Prime membership and arrived very quickly, as expected. The train is incredibly gentle when it "bumps" into items. I was really shocked at how delicately it operates then backs away to steer into another direction. It will not damage even the most fragile items because it is super light and does not crash into things, but merely slides very lightly into something then changes course quickly and gently.

The train is very detailed in its design and construction. It comes with a funnel to make pouring the bubbles into it easier and it fits perfectly! I only wish there were a little compartment on the train itself (or even a hook to hang it on) to put the funnel so it doesn't get lost. It comes with the train, bubbles, and the funnel. It does require batteries that are not supplied as part of the purchase.

There is an ON/OFF switch on the bottom of the train. It is a bit tricky for my almost-three-year-old to operate, but it's not too bad...

I LOVE the catchy party tune music that the train has! It really makes me want to get up and dance, and the song sticks in my mind for awhile. That's not a bad thing - it's really cute and fun. It really does literally make me think: PARTY! Many reviewers on Amazon commented that the volume was a bit too loud. It is not blaring, but it would be nice to have some kind of volume control, although I don't personally think it's too loud. Any louder, though, and it would be!

It can be hard to determine how much of the bubble solution to pour into the train because there is no gauge to show how full the compartment is and it isn't see-through so it can be easy to overfill. It would be much better if there were some kind of indicator or fill line of some sort on the train rather than blindly pouring bubbles into the train. If you pour too little, the bubbles won't flow out. If you pour too much, it will obviously overflow and spill out. Also, the bubbles seem to get clogged every now and then, but I'm not sure why or how that could be easily improved.

Overall this is a really fun toy and well made. I would give it four stars out of five on Amazon and 'd feel comfortable recommending it for friends, family, and anyone else to purchase.

CifToys Cashier Toy Cash Register Playset REVIEW, Available on Amazon

REVIEW: CifToys Cashier Toy Cash Register Playset
Pretend Play Set For Kids

Purchased on Amazon.com

My daughter will be three in May and she's very smart, so I knew she'd love this fun play cashier set toy that comes with a cash register, grocery scanner, play money, a microphone, and several play groceries as well as a cute little shopping basket in the set! When I saw the promotion to review this item and receive it at a discount, I couldn't wait to apply.

The package came with plenty of air pockets to pad it and arrived undamaged in just two days with Amazon Prime. The set normally costs $24.99 (at the time of this review being written). The price is very competitive (and cheaper in most cases) compared to similar items. It needs two AA batteries which do not come included. The set is labeled for ages 3 and up. It does contain some small pieces.

Set is available here: amazon.com/gp/product/B0723FCB21 (NOT an affiliate link)

My Daughter's Favorite Features

My daughter LOVES singing into the microphone and making funny noises into it. She asks Mommy and Daddy to join in for some family fun with the microphone.

She also really is getting a kick out of the play money and loves playing with the [plastic] coins.

Pros and Cons

This set really is fun and can be educational for kids if they use the calculator function of the cash register. The best type of toys are the ones where kids can have lots of fun for many hours while they learn, so this set is really ideal for young children and toddlers.

The scanner was a bit difficult to pull off it's cradle at first, but it was easier after the first few times and now there is no issue with this, just something to be aware of at first use. It's really fun and you can press a button and hear a "beep" and a red light will shine as if it were a real grocery scanner.

The microphone is super fun, as I mentioned, but it has a lot of feedback so it makes a very loud noise. It's also a bit loud when talking into it, but that's what you want in a microphone I suppose, right?! LOL ... It is able to be swiveled but the microphone is really short. Perfect for kids, though!

The largest plastic coin that the set contains is too big to fit in the cash register drawer, so I just gave my daughter the smaller ones to play with because I didn't want her to try to jam it in or get it stuck somehow. The coins come attached together in plastic and need to be pulled off the plastic, so make sure there are no sharp edges after removing them and giving them to children to play with.

Overall the set is well made and a ton of fun for young kids. My daughter enjoys playing with it and I enjoy playing with her with the toy as well. I highly recommend this play cashier set for young children.
