ReCap lids review and giveaway

ReCAP sent me three lids to review with my own opinion. This was by far one of my favorite products because of the sheer usefullness! I received one wide mouth lid and 2 regular. There are some items that NEED a pour lid on it (chocolate chips). This helps the chocolate chips from falling on your face as you eat them from the jar (just kidding… sort of). This lid could also be of great help so those chocolate chips or bulk yogurt raisins from falling on the floor as they all pile into your hand while you try to shove a bunch quietly into your mouth when your children arent looking. No, I have not done this. EVER. 

 

 I use mason jars for pretty much EVERYTHING in my house.

 

Organizing the pantry, the laundry cabinet, Hiding the sundrops (similar to M&M’s), Storing Cupcake wrappers, Coconut oil in the bathroom for oil pulling, Pen holder, Organizing small linen closet essentials, and trying to keep the fridge organized. The recap lid is great to use on a mason jar when I make juice also! One of my favorites is carrot, apple, cucumber, celery and beet. YUM! This is my favorite way to clean out the fridge.

So many uses so little time. How do you reCAP?

Masterlock 5900D Space Safe review

Masterlock sent me this handy contraption to review with my honest opinion.

A trip to the beach recently made me realize we had no safe place for our things. If we wanted to lock something up it could easily be stolen. I then saw this product. It can hold cell phone and keys and wind the cord through the zipper pulls of a backpack. We usually position ourselves near the swings mid beach so we could actually attach this to the swing set itself. I don’t think we would ever leave our bags by themselves, but this would be great if we ever needed to.

 

 

When you set the lock to the combination the cable disengages and allows it to be free on one side. Then push it back into the slot and mess up the combo. This could also be useful for a teenagers locker, a desk drawer at work, bike, etc. The cord isn’t extremely long, but long enough it can be attached to a backpack and wrapped around a bleacher leg for school events etc. It is lightweight and has shock absorbing foam inside. SO Cool.

 

Clearly Filtered Pitcher review and giveaway

 Clearly Filtered sent me a water pitcher to review. I apologize for the compressed pictures. Apparently my phones settings got messed with.

 

This is a very sturdy water pitcher. The filter is easier to prep than the Brita. No soaking of the filter and no running through a pitcher or two of water before use.

 

The filter lasts 5 times longer than Brita.  This filtesr 200 gallons.  Brita filter 40 gallons

The cost of the filter is comparable to the other brands. However this one you use one filter vs multiple for the other brands.

 

The MAJOR DIFFERENCE:  Clearly Filtered removes impurities while Brita reduces.  

Brita does not remove fluoride.  

 

This pitcher makes water taste BETTER than bottled.  There is no regulation on bottled water so it can be taken from one source and bottled with no filtration whatsoever.  Brita makes no claim for many of the contaminates that Clearly Filter removes.

 

Easy website to maneuver through, the product is well packaged, and the instructions are easy.

The videos on website are great and they have great option for portable filtering (ie sports bottles for school)!

The down side is you cannot  buy filter locally.  However, with free shipping not that big of a deal

I also see no way to know when the filter needs replaced.  Maybe just have a location on the pitcher designed to write the replace date?

The good ones shirt reveiw and giveaway

 

 

The good ones

 

“Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, put your hands together for Stuart, Adrian, Franklin and Bullfrog...THE FINAL HURRAHS!” Find out who they are.

 

 

WOW, these shirts are amazingly soft!! Mr CL put them on was so impressed at the fit and quality. He gave them an A with the caveat that they would have been an a+ had they been tagless. We received the anything ever adult tee and the stage stack tee.

Both are extremely awesome. The Stage stack tea came in a cool mesh bag. How is that for cool packaging?

 

Check out their gallery and find out more information about the band here. The great thing about these clothes is you don't have to know about the band to really enjoy them. The styles and prints are nice and not overbearing.

 

They have kids sizes as well! I would like to see more girly items since my little CL would never wear these styles (erhaps some cute skorts for girls). Little CL loves the drums, but is very girly.

persnickety boutique tea party dress and giveaway

 

Persnickety Clothing sent me this AMAZING Tea party dress for my honest review.

 

I am completely amazed at the quality of this dress. I received it in a waterproof mailer and when I opened it I wished it was in my size.  It was a button up back which I was not aware of so for little crazy life it might be a special occasion dress. She is fairly particular about how dresses fasten. ;)

 

 Everything about this dress is stunning. From the print right, to the gently scalloped neckline, to the ruffles on the sleeves, and down to the buttons cascading down the back of the dress. There is not a single detail overlooked on this beautiful dress.

 

 

“Persnickety Clothing offers only the best in girls' boutique clothing. Our unique designs are enchanting and playful, perfect for the little girl in your life. From humble beginnings – selling boutique clothing for girls at Utah fairs and farmers markets – Persnickety has grown to offer our fancy little frocks and accessories to girls everywhere. Our girls boutique clothing designs are sure to charm you.”

 

Isnt that the truth!! This dress is AMAZING and so soft yet very sturdy. The customer service is also outstanding. I was torn between two dresses (tea party and birdie) so I emailed with a couple questions. They answered promptly and were so incredibly nice.

  

They even have an outlet tab as well as accessories! Nearly one stop shopping! :

 

Check out their “Buying is Giving” program.  This is fantastic and a great way to give back to others. Their story gave me goose bumps.

 

I have never seen quality like this at a brick and mortar store before. With the quality being established I would have loved to see a tag or a name ironed on somewhere inside the dress. This dress will last after multiple hand me downs people are going to want to know who made this stunning dress. J
