Mirror On A Rope ReflectX is a portable acrylic mirror designed for fog
free shower shaving. Just hold the mirror under the warm stream of water
from your shower for a few seconds to keep the mirror from fogging. The
550 para-cord resists mildewing. The mirror itself is nearly
unbreakable and the durability and beauty of the mirror is enhanced by
the addition of the printed back. Mounting the mirror on the wall
typically means that the bathroom light is behind you. Just face the
area that you need to see and shave towards the light in your bathroom
and hold the mirror in your hand to see the area and to eliminate
shadows. ReflectX is made in the U.S.A. with cutting edge materials and
technologies. Some components are imported. U.S. Patent Pending.
The mirror itself is kind of small, fits in my hand. But it's really convenient to hold then so that's great!
My boyfriend usually shaves out of the shower but with this mirror he's loving shaving in the shower, it saves him time in the morning. The mirror does not fog if you follow the directions to warm the mirror before use. If you forget the warming step, it will fog but it's easy to correct. Just warm it under the water.
The mirror is on a rope (as described) so I have ours hanging from the shower head in the shower. The rope is high strength para-cord so I have no fear of it breaking.
I expected the mirror to develop film or spots from our hard water but cleaning it was easy! It didn't scratch at all.

HemisFares™ Dry Pasta Review
HemisFares™ Dry Pasta Facts
All of the HemisFares™ dry pastas are made by local, artisanal producers in Italy using traditional Gragnano style methods — the highest quality production process for pasta. The machines they use cannot produce more than a few hundred pounds of pasta an hour (compared to tons of pasta at industrial companies). The pasta is then dried for 12–14 hours (compared to 4–6 hours) at a lower temperature to preserve the authentic flavor and natural nutritional value of the wheat used. Each of the imported dry pastas from the NEW HemisFares™ line are as follows:- Fusilli Bucati Lunghi - 16 oz. for $3.99 - From Campania, Italy, this long pasta was first made by twisting a pasta thread around a fuse or a spindle.
- Orecchiette - 12 oz. for $2.99 - The distinctive rounded shape of this imported pasta was inspired by the roofs of ancient Apulian houses, called trulli. It comes from the Puglia region and its name is translated as “little ear.”
- Rigatoni - 12 oz. for $2.99 - Hailing from the Lazio region of Italy, this tubular pasta comes from the Italian word “rigati,” which means ridged.
- Tagliatelle - 9 oz. for $3.99 - From the Marché region, this egg-based pasta was originally crafted by generations of local women from Campofilone (and is produced there to this day!). It’s made from durum wheat and over 35% eggs, then worked by hand without the addition of any water.
- Anelli Giganti - 12 oz. for $2.99 - This authentic pasta shape originated in Southern Italy; it’s produced with the highest quality ingredients before being bronze cut, leaving it with rough, porous edges to better catch and hold sauces.
- Chifferini - 12 oz. for $2.99 - Originally from the southern island of Sicily, this half-moon-shaped, ridged pasta has a very long drying process — resulting in a strong color and a rich, hearty flavor.

At first, before I received the package, I was skeptical. It's just dry pasta to be honest, I wasn't ready to be this surprised. First off, I loved the packaging, it looks like something very expensive and like something you would see in a fancy gift basket. Luckily, the price for this pasta is NOT expensive. Check out those prices above! Not to mention, I also received coupons to share with friends, $1.50 off a package.
The pasta itself was quite unique too; look at these long curly noodles! The noodles are folded in the middle as if they came right off a drying rack.And the flavor was like fresh, homemade noodles too!
The noodles are hollow too which wasn't expected so be careful with hot (temperature) sauces. I burned my mouth trying to slurp the noodles up because some of the sauce I made came up through the noodle.

This specific pasta was difficult to remove from the bag without using the whole package as it doesn't easily reseal. We wound up using the whole package and leaving more than half as leftovers. I loved everything about this pasta line other than that the package doesn't reseal.

Joyal Beauty Super Brightening Vitamin C Serum Review
Applying vitamin C serum to the skin can be 20 times more effective than taking it orally for anti-wrinkles and diminish age spots on your skin. This Vitamin C serum is natural and 72% organic. It is safe for all skin types and conditions including dry or irritated skin, wrinkles, fine lines, dull complexion, acne, and eczema.
Directions for Use
- After cleaning and toning, hold the bottle close to your palm and press 1-3 pumps to your palm of hands.
- Apply to your face and neck with your fingers. You can apply it once in morning or twice daily (morning and night). You can apply this product around your eyes but avoid direct contact with your eyes.
- When applying the serum, you may pat dry or slightly massage your face using circular motion with fingers for 1-3 minutes. The act of massaging will stimulate blood circulation and new cell generation and also the nutrition ingredients present in the serum will be able to penetrate deeper inside the skin.
- Follow the Vitamin C Serum with your regular moisturizer. The Vitamin C Serum is NOT a moisturizer.
My Review
This product is easy to use and all you have to do is massage a very small amount into your face once or twice a day. The pump bottle makes it simple though I do find the pump may not be the best since the serum is so watery. I have mad a mess or two with the pump. The Vitamin C serum is not at all greasy and it absorbs into your skin quickly. It is important that you use a moisturizer on your face and neck after using this Vitamin C serum though as it is not a moisturizer. I'm very sensitive to scent and the smell of this Vitamin C serum isn't the most pleasant. I have used other Vitamin C serums that smelled fresh and fruity but this one has a more chemical scent. It took a bit of getting use to. It really isn't a horrible scent but it certainly isn't my favorite. The scent, luckily does not transfer to how it affects my skin. I've had no issues with it. |

Premium Cocktail Shaker Set Review
Do you want to offer your guests something other than milk, beer, or water? Want to really impress your friends with your drink making skills? All you need are these tools from Mixologist World! You really need three things: a shaker, a jigger, and a cocktail recipe book. If there is one tool that is absolutely essential for making cocktails, that’s the Cocktail Shaker. Whether you’re shaking up a Martini or an Aviation, a cocktail shaker is certain to be the most used piece of your bar equipment. This cocktail shaker consists of a mixing tin, a lid with a built-in strainer and a second small lid that goes over the strainer. No further tools are required to make the drink, and the shaker is easy to assemble and to use. |
This shaker set is made of high quality stainless steel and seals quite well. That means no leaks or spills when shaking! The double sided jigger allows you to measure one or one half ounces of liquid which makes following the recipes in the FREE recipe book easy!
The shaker also has a built in strainer which allows you to mix up drinks with fruit chunks or ice in them without adding them to the glass. All the flavor, non of the chunks! This is awesome when you want a cold drink without the ice, like a martini, or the fruit flavor without the pieces.
This stainless steel shaker does have a polished finish so it does show finger prints and should be washed and wiped clean before putting it out for display.

Snuggle Scent Boosters Review
My Instagram |
When I first received my package, I could smell the product through the box. At first, I thought that something was broken and I would be opening up a messy box but it wasn't. This product smells amazing, sweet and floral. I couldn't believe how strong the scent is but it makes your laundry smell amazing too!
As soon as I opened the box, I ran to go do my first load of laundry. After loading my towels, sheets, clothing, everything needing to be washed was loaded into the washer. Twenty minutes later when I opened the washer I could smell the scent booster strongly. The scent was a bit overwhelming. I threw my clothes into the dryer non-the-less and went about packing for my move. When I removed the laundry from the dryer the scent wasn't as strong. If you take a deep breath into something you can smell it but it's not making me nauseous with its strength.
The scent doesn't just go away either! I used these scent boosters a week ago and my clothing still smells amazing! The scent lingers on unworn clothing for about a week, and once worn, it still maintains the freshness all day long.
The small packs are convenient and better than the liquid scent boosters because I don't need to clean out my fabric softener dispenser with these. Just throw the little pack in the washer, add your items to be laundered and start the cycle, no spilling, build up etc.
I am member of the Snuggle Bear Den, and received this product to try for free but the opinions are my own.

Dot&Dot 15" and 18" Packing Sleeve Review
My Instagram - 15" |

Small size dimensions 15" x 10", Medium size dimensions 18" x 12". These packing sleeves minimize wrinkles and keeps your clothes in place during travel. They maximize luggage space by compressing your clothes. Each packing sleeve includes a folding board which ha instruction on how to fold your shirts.
I didn't have a specific use for this packing sleeve when I was asked to review it and ordered it but now I'm moving and this packing sleeve has been extremely helpful! I was able to pack 12 blouses in the Dot&Dot 18" Packing Sleeve and 6 pairs of slacks in the 15" sleeve! That's about half of my closet!
The best feature of this packing sleeve is the ability to adjust its size. You can adjust the size to fit exactly according to the amount of clothing that you have stored within the packing sleeve. So even if you remove one item from the packing sleeve you can adjust it to securely hold everything remaining.
My Instagram |
The folding board is printed with instruction on how to fold shirts but no directions on folding pants. I was able to figure out a way to fold them but those instructions would be nice.
This sleeve was a great way for me to reduce the size of my closet during the move without worrying about wrinkles but it is also great for packing for vacations. I highly recommend this product for both uses! The Dot&Dot 18" Packing Sleeve allows you to cut down on the volume of your pack and stay presentable in appearance.
