Therapeutic Foot Soak Review


After I had my daughter two years ago I started taking more natural approaches to my health and the care of my body. One of those natural approaches was the use of essential oils to help with illness or skin issues, specifically lavender and tea tree oils. So when I was given the opportunity to review this therapeutic foot soak with tea tree oil from Oleavine Health I was pretty excited. 

The foot soak contains the following ingredients:
  • epsom salt
  • sea salt
  • tea tree oil
  • peppermint oil
  • other essential oils
  • Himalayan salt
  • MSM
  • Neem oil
  • Plant extracts
This foot soak is great for the following:
  • foot odor eliminator
  • fungus fighter
  • soothing itchy, dry, and inflamed skin
The next time I use this product I would like to try it with an actual foot spa I have because I think that would be a nice added touch to the soak.

If you are interested in purchasing and trying this soak for yourself it is available on Amazon for $11.90

SelpHbalance pH strips Review


I was given the opportunity to test and review SelpHbalance pH strips this past month. For the purposes of this blog I used it to test the pH levels in my body via my saliva. You can also use urine but since I needed to do a video review and post photos I thought saliva would be my best bet. Ha!


My pH level came out to be around 7-7.25 (hard to tell which is truly is) which is in the normal range for acidity and alkalinity. I had to spit in a spoon, dip the strip, then wait about 15 seconds for the results. You also have to do this 2 hours after eating otherwise you can skew the results.

In addition to using this to test body pH levels you can also use it to test the soil and your pool water so this product has many functions around your home! If you would like to purchase your own then they have a pack of 100 at Amazon for $9.95

Natural Insect Killer Review


Last week my kitchen was taken over by gnats. Why? I have NO idea! But they came out of the wood works and it was AWFUL! So what do you do when your kitchen is taken over but you don't want to use harsh chemicals where you cook? You try a non toxic spray, that's what. 

My dad used this and he said he has never seen anything work quite like it. In fact, when he saw just how well it worked he didn't believe me that it was non toxic and natural. He said there is no way something natural works SO WELL! Ha!

According to their Amazon page it works by breaking down their exoskeleton with a proprietary formula that breaks down their exoskeleton until the bugs liquify and die. It does not kill on contact but will kill after a few minutes. It kills larvae, eggs, an adult insects.

I haven't tried this on any other type of bugs but if it works on them as well as it works on gnats then I am sold! I found a really gross large spider in my bathroom the other day that I wish I could have used this on so I think I may put some in a smaller bottle so I can keep it in different rooms of the house that way I don't have to go searching for it and risk losing the bug in the process.

If you want to get your own bottle (I seriously recommend you do) then you can purchase it on Amazon for $19.97

Gurin Dehumidifier Review

My master bath retains an excessive amount of moisture. The only thing I can figure is that it is due to the shower being separate from the tub. Whatever is causing this though makes it so that I have to keep my bathroom door open at all times to allow it to air out and dry. Otherwise the walls end up with mildew and moisture and then I'm in there having to clean that.


This Gurin dehumidifier is perfect for my bathroom and helps with the excess moisture issue I have been experiencing over the years. I really don't know why I didn't think of trying one of these out in the bathroom sooner to help with my issue. That would have helped me out tremendously! This is small enough and compact so I can use it in the bathroom without it taking up too much space but it still gets the job done. 

I also did a video showing it:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9G7TBuNFa3Q

If you are interested in purchasing your own (I highly recommend it!) then you can purchase it on Amazon for $44.95

SalsaCrazy Mango Salsa Review


I love mango. I love pineapple. And I love salsa. So I decided, why not try tropical mango salsa from SalsaCrazy?! Yum! It's just the right amount of sweet and spicy for me (rated 3/10 for spicy) because I'm that person who doesn't like their mouth to feel like it is burning off. 

Want to know what else is great about this jar of salsa? Look at the side...."Learn how to salsa dance for free!!!" YESSS! That's an awesome perk to have in addition to the jar of salsa. Other perks of this salsa is that it is gluten free and dairy free.

If you aren't big on tropical fruits (pineapple, mango, or coconut) then this is not the salsa for you. But if you are...then go for it. This is great for chips but I really want to try it on my crock pot salsa chicken tacos. I think that would be absolutely delicious. Maybe we can try that this weekend....

If you want your own jar then head on over to Amazon where it is available for $12.95

"My Therapy" Wine Glass Review


I have ordered a few products from Got Me Tipsy and I highly recommend their products. They come well packaged so you don't have to worry about the glass breaking or cracking during transit. In fact, the packaging is so great that you could immediately take from the Amazon box and wrap for a gift. 

I'm big on wine in my home and love collecting different and fun wine glasses. This one was no different. "My Therapy" is a great addition to my wine glass collection and I love this glass. I'm not scared of breaking this glass like I am other glass items I have received in the past because I can tell it is well made and they put a lot into their products.

I recommend you head on over to Amazon to purchase one for yourself and any other wine drinker in your life because they will love to receive this as a gift. It is currently on sale at Amazon for $14.95 and can be purchased here.

"Favorite Child" Glass Coffee Mug Review


I have posted reviews on products from Got Me Tipsy previously and I am still impressed with the quality of what I receive so I'm excited to continue to write good reviews about their glass products!

I have never owned or used a glass coffee mug before receiving two from them and I usually use ceramic mugs or Starbucks type cups. I was concerned the glass would become hot after putting my coffee in it but that was not the case. It became slightly warm but no more than any ceramic mug would so my hands were safe!

I'm an only child so I feel like the phrase is even funnier for me because clearly I AM their favorite child. There is no competition for me..Ha!

Got Me Tipsy's products are well made and high quality so I definitely recommend this for the coffee drinker in your life. If it's not you then it would be a great gift for a family member or friend. It's available on Amazon for $16.95

Angel Crafts Vinyl Review

My best friend is a crafter who lives out in the country with the closest Wal-Mart 45 minutes away. What does that mean? She needs to keep crafts supplies on hand at all times because she hardly ever makes it to the store to "just grab something" she needs spur of the moment especially with two toddlers. 

Because of everything I listed above I decided I would order these vinyl sheets for her to use because she has started different vinyl crafts and wants to play around. What does this mean for me? I get free home-made items because I sent the vinyl to her and she loves me! It's a win-win, guys! 

She LOVES the colors supplied and said they are very vibrant and this vinyl is sturdy and well made. It cuts smoothly and does not end up with frayed edges. I've received only products from Angel Direct which were baby related so I wasn't sure how they would be with crafts also but it seems they are doing well in all they create thus far!

If you are interested in purchasing some for your craft room (which we both definitely recommend you do) then head on over to Amazon where they have them on sale for $28.95 for a 35 pack of multi-colors.

Shower Bouquet Pouf Review

Ignore the toddler piggies in the photo above! HA
I was given the option to receive and review these lace sponge poufs just in time for my cheap dollar store loofah to fall apart on me. I received four extra large poufs in four different fun and vibrant colors. These are high quality and well made. I love the lace in them and how well they are put together. They seem to be holding up very well and I don't anticipate them falling apart like my dollar store loofahs have in the past. The ribbon to hang them from is very thick as well.

 These lather very well with my body wash which is a big deal for me because I want a little bit of body wash to go a long way so that I am not being wasteful and using too much. These poufs are absolutely perfect for me and also for my family. With the holidays coming up these would be great stocking stuffers or perfect for adding to gift baskets filled with body products.

These are available for purchase on Amazon for $15.95 here.

Air Vent Phone Mount Review


CacheAlaska's air vent cell phone mount is perfect to make your cell phone hands free when you are using it as a GPS to get around town. I am notorious for holding my cell phone in my hand while driving in order to use it as a GPS which honestly just is not safe! This allows me to use both hands on the wheel and I'm still able to glance at the screen to see what the GPS is telling me and I can also hear it clearly since the phone is closer to my face. 

The mount stretches so it can fit different cell phone sizes up to 8.4 cm.

If you are in the market for a cell phone mount in your vehicle then I definitely recommend this product to you because it works wonderfully. This mount is available for purchase on their website for $14.97

GxPRO Car Charger Review

Gx-Pro offered me a 3 port car charger and magnetic cell phone holder mount in exchange for my review. According to their Amazon page it works well for iPhones (including 6 and 6 plus), iPods, etc.

My favorite thing about this set is the 3 port car charger. I cannot tell you how awesome that is to have in our technologically driven world. I am always charging AT LEAST one item if not two while driving (phone, bluetooth, or daughter's tablet) and I also have a car diffuser for my esential oils in my car. This allows me to to charge 2 items and plug my diffuser in all at the same time. There's no more fighting over what is more important and needs to be charged first because now everything can be charged if needed. 

I am not able to use the mount for my phone because it is what most consider a "phablet" and it's far too heavy. A lighter phone that is as large as mine would be fine but mine is actually really heavy (I have dropped it on my foot before...that hurt. A LOT).

This product is available for purchase on Amazon for $9.99 and would make a great Christmas gift or stocking stuffer.

Loop6ix Jitterbuds Review

I have received a few different wireless Bluetooth headphones to review in the past month and decided I would let my father try the Loop6ix Jitterbuds because he was begging me to use them. 

They synced with his phone effortlessly. He uses them to listen to music, watch videos, and talk to family on the phone since all of his family lives in other states. They don't even realize they are on a Bluetooth and can hear him with no issues. The sound coming through the headphones are crystal clear as well. 

His favorite thing about these is that they are mold-able so they can be adjusted to fit your ears. He cannot sing enough praises for these headphones. They also come with multiple pairs of earbuds all in different sizes so they can changed to comfortably fit just about anyone's ears

His exact words are "These headphones are bad ass and you should be jealous you gave them to me!" so he definitely recommends them if you are in the market for a pair of Bluetooth headphones. They are currently on sale on Amazon for $42.97

"Go Away" Glass Coffee Mug Review

I have posted reviews on products from Got Me Tipsy previously and I am still impressed with the quality of what I receive so I'm excited to continue to write good reviews about their glass products!

I have never owned or used a glass coffee mug before and I usually use ceramic mugs or Starbucks type cups. I was concerned the glass would become hot after putting my coffee in it but that was not the case. It became slightly warm but no more than any ceramic mug would. 

I really like the saying on it as I am typically grumpy and mean prior to having my daily dose of coffee in the morning. I have actually taken this mug to work and made jokes when people speak to me..I just point at the mug and make eye contact. They get what I'm saying...it's just not time yet for me to answer their question! Haha



Got Me Tipsy's products are well made and high quality so I definitely recommend this for the coffee drinker in your life. If it's not you then it would be a great gift for a family member or friend. It's available on Amazon for $16.95

Double Edge Safety Razor Review

My father has been begging me to get him a badger shaving brush for months. So I finally did and he was so excited when he saw this sitting on the table set up today! I received this Magnus Shaving Kit and it comes with the following items:

  • 100% Pure Badger Hair Brush
  • Chrome finished double edge safety razor with 2 blades
  • Chrome Stand 




This kit is great. The brush is 100% pure badger which was a major factor when choosing what to get him (he had specifications...go figure!). It lathers amazingly! This is very well made and I can tell it will last him years to come. 

I love the holder so it can sit on the vanity area when not in use and be easily accessible when it is time for him shave. I definitely recommend this if you have a man in your life looking for a new shaving kit...he won't look back and will thank you! The shaving kit is available on Amazon for $34.99

Stainless Steel Dual Julienne Vegetable Peeler Review

My dad makes my two year old daughter oatmeal every morning and she likes it made with apples and cinnamon. Due to her age she doesn't do well with the apple peel. Often it gets stuck in her throat and she doesn't quite grasp the concept of drinking water or coughing to help loosen it up and work it down. Because of this we decided peeling the apples is best but sometimes it's just a pain to use a knife to do the peeling. 

Lucky for me I was given the opportunity to receive and review a vegetable peeler by X-Chef. My dad said this peeler worked wonderfully and peeled the apple with ease. It was also super easy to clean as well. I love that it comes with the little brush also so you can easily clean between the pieces of the peeler. 

We highly recommend this if you are in the market for a new peeler for your fruit and veggies! If you are interested in purchasing one for yourself then you can find them at Amazon where they are on sale for $6.95!! That's an AWESOME price!
