Lifewit Giraffe Dog Toys, Cotton Dental Teaser Rope Chew Teeth Cleanning Toy for aggressive chewers Large

In our house, we have Labrador Retrievers. Yes, plural. Not only do we have 2, my daughter has 1 and my brother has a German Shepherd. Besides a lot of fur balls all over the house, what does this mean? Well, every family get together, we host the dogs. They play and they play hard. Finding a toy that 4 very large dogs don't destroy in a matter of moments is near impossible. Until we found this Lifewit Giraffe Rope Chew.

I was skeptical when I ordered after seeing carnage of past "indestructable" toys all over my yard constantly and spending lots of money trying to find something that would get through an afternoon of play time. I opened my package and pulled out this very solid, large sized (13.8 inches long) very well constructed giraffe. It's made of pure non-toxic cotton and is super cute. I could barely get it out the box before my girls grabbed it.

Now, it's been a solid week and I can tell you that it is still intact with the exception of a few tufts of string and that to me is amazing. It's easy for them to carry and taunt each other with a game of tug-o-war and whoever has the giraffe is definitely queen for the moment. Finally, a toy that has lasted those two and their crazy chewing. The other dogs come over this weekend so will update if something changes but I have found the best stocking stuffers for them now and am thrilled.

At $14.99 and free ship with Prime, this is an awesome buy.

Bepei Women Sweatheart V Neck Fit and Flare Long Sleeve Fall Tunic Peplum Tops

Since the weather has turned and I seem to never have enough warm clothes so I started looking for cute items to wear with leggings when I found this top by Bepei. First, the fabric at 95% Rayon and 5% Spandex is incredibly soft and comfortable. It fits nicely and flows around your body flattering it with style. 

The length for me at 5'8 is a bit short for my age (hee hee) so it works great with leggings and adds a trendy look. I purchased this in the gorgeous blue color and it looks every bit as bright as the picture. The sleeves are long and even are a bit long on my arm but I like it that way to cover my wrists a bit. All the seams are sewn nicely and had no loose threads or over sews. The quality is excellent and you cannot beat the price. I ordered an XXL and typically wear a 12-14 so make sure you order accordingly.

I hand washed mine and hung to dry as per the directions and it came out great. Wash it alone just in case the colors bleed, too. I didn't notice it did, but I wouldn't take the chance.

Overall, I am very happy with this purchase and am considering ordering it in other colors.

Simplicity Warm Infinity Scarf in Knitted Styles

Winter is here and scarves are a huge part of my wardrobe this time of year to keep my neck warm. This crochet woven acrylic infinity scarf sold by PDS Online on Amazon comes in about 20 different colors to fit any wardrobe. It measures about 11.5 inches wide by 80 inches long. It looks super cute on and the tassels on the ends give it a different flair to other scarves. 

My purchase of this particular scarf was for a gift but after it arrived and I was able to feel the quality and see how well it's made, I have decided to purchase more as gifts and even a few for myself. The color choices allow me to match everything I own and it comes in different styles as well. Starting at $9.99 for these scarves, you can't go wrong.

Black Laundry Hamper 20 x 13.5 inch DIY Collapsible Laundry Basket Organizer with Handles for Bedrooms, Dorm Rooms, Nurseries, Classrooms, Closets & More with Two Laundry Bags for Delicates Washing

This laundry hamper sold by TGS Gems is absolutely one of the better made hampers I have purchased. At 20 inches tall by 13.5 inches in diameter, it is compact enough to fit under my bathroom sink. The woven Teslin material is strong and durable but lightweight giving the versatility I need in bring able to carry  all my items out to the garage with ease. 

The hamper arrives unassembled and it includes a picture that shows how to put the hamper together, but it also includes a link to go online for more instructions. I put together the clear sheets first, then attached the zippered bottom. I then ran the wire through the top to keep the shape and added the clear sheets in the bottom of the hamper and voila. All stable, sturdy and ready to go. The top of the basket even has a great drawstring to keep your clothes in the basket. The handles on the basket are a solid rope that is secured to the basket with knots through metal holes. Very nicely constructed and super cute to look at. You can store anything in this hamper and not just use if for laundry so multi-functional.

As a bonus, it includes 2 zippered laundry bags for delicate washing. Very happy with this basket and highly recommend. I received this hamper at a discount but the review is of my own opinion and free will. My purpose is to help others in making their own decisions regarding purchasing items.

Advanced Night Repair Cream and Best Retinol Moisturizer 1.7 fl. oz. with Chronocyclin, Retinol & Echinacea Stem Cells - An Anti Aging Treatment and Daily Moisturizer Cream for Men and Women by First Botany Cosmeceuticals

As someone who constantly is searching for the miracle cream that will make me look 20 again, I love trying new products and this First Botany Night Cream with Chronocyclin is definitely one I am in awe of. 

Sure, it has Retinol, plant stem cells, adaptonyl (promotes and regens cells) and shea butter and coconut water but the Chronocyclin is new to me and I was curious to see how my skin reacted. So, what is the Chronocyclin? I looked it up and it's an anti-aging peptide that provides your skin with protection during the day and regenerates your skin cells at night. Does it work, though?

Well, I have been using this for 7 nights straight. I have sun spots, acne scars, wrinkles around and between my eyes and other facial items I wish would disappear. Are they still there, yes. A week is not long enough to see full results. But are they better. Uh...YES! My skin is super soft and has had no irritation at all. The puffiness I experience in the morning is gone for sure. The wrinkles, they are there but much less noticable. My skin looks and feels better. 

It takes around 3 months for a cream like this to show full effects so I will update if things change but for now. Amazing. I love the product, how my skin looks and feels and the fact that I have had no irritation is great for my normally sensitive skin. For $15.95, I have not found a product at that price for something this good.

AcuDrip100 Digital Coffee Drip Scale and Timer by Somerset

This compact coffee scale has great features. The set comes with a tray, a rubber mat to stabilize the tray and a wall mount in case you prefer to do that. Unfortunately, the mat and tray are separate from the scale so hanging the set is impossible and you would still have to store the other items elsewhere. 

The unit itself is easy to calibrate (directions included) once you insert the included AAA batteries. I also like that it has a protective coating to guard against liquids and the measurements can be grams, ml or ounces. The LCD screen is bright and easy to read as well.

I used it for measuring out food - not coffee - and it was very accurate once calibrated. Very easy to use and small enough to store away (instead of hanging) without any problems. 

Very nice scale and I definitely recommend it for others.

Qedertek Battery Operated Christmas String Lights, 50ft 200 LED 8 Mode with Timer Fairy Lights for Indoor/Outdoor, Home, Garden, Patio, Lawn and Party Decorations, Waterproof (Cool White)

LED lights are amazing and if you haven't tried them as a decorating option, you are missing out. These Qedertek battery operated lights are awesome. With over 50 feet of string, 200 LED lights that are waterproof and battery operated so they can go ANYWHERE, the look of these lights when lit is gorgeous. I have the bright white ones and they look so cool in my entryway on my plants and since my entry is covered, solar lighting is not an option. I also have no outlet so plugging in a string is impossible so truly I was resigned to never having cute lighting in the entry until I got these! You can use them inside the house or out and the lights have modes you can choose for different effects like combination, slow, flash, fade, twinkle, steady, sequential  or waves. Simple to choose and gives so many options!

I think the biggest draw for me was the auto timer. No one wants to turn their lights off/on all the time and having to go out in the cold late at night is a buzzkill so being able to have them cycle for 6 hours and shut off saving battery life. AMAZING!! No more extension cords run all over, just a clean set of great lights. Make sure you have some D sized batteries on hand since this takes 3 of them and read through the included manual a bit to familiarize yourself with the different buttons and modes.

Overall, great light set - easy to use, beautiful to look at, and an excellent price.
