Natrol Melatonin Review

#MomBuzz #SleepTight Not familiar with Natrol Melatonin well then take a few moments and read this helpful information below. I tried the fast dissolve strawberry flavor and they are not bad tasting! The instructions states to take one tablet 20 minutes before bedtime. For Best results make sure it is completely dissolved before swallowing. This is meant to help you if you are having trouble falling asleep but it will not knock you out to where you feel groggy the next day. This is not something that can become habit forming it is a Drug- Free and Non-Habit Forming tablet.

This is my first time trying something like this and I have to say I am very pleased. I have trouble falling sleep for many reason such as Insomnia, Restlessness, and I just can not stop thinking about what needs to be done. If any of this sounds familiar to you than I would give this a shot.

Kuuk Onion Chopper Review

<a href="http://www.tomoson.com/?code=TOP447af75435ad607a8e998a8a81f375b6" rel="nofollow"><img style="display: none" src="http://www.tomoson.com/images/front/pixel.png" /></a>

I have worked with Kuuk before and the products are outstanding. The second thing in my review queue is the Kuuk onion chopper. Again, this is an item that doesn't use electricity, making it very efficient. You just pop it over your veggie, i.e. and onion, and pump the handle up and down. It turns on the inside, chopping the veggies as it goes. In no time at all, you have perfectly chopped veggies! The cleanup is just as simple with this item, as well. Just use soap and water and it will be clean in no time. I received this product for free in exchange for an honest review and all opinions are my own.

Barbecue Grill Brush Review

I got this barbecue grill brush from VeeSap Lifestyle just in time for our annual 4th of July cookout! My husband has been bedridden after having an accident, so my brother did the cooking for me. He came in and asked for a grill brush to clean the grill, so I handed him this one to test out! He loved it! The three row design on the brush really captured the cooked on stuff and cleaned the grill very nicely. It is easy to handle and grip onto. Very nice!

Kuuk Potato Chipper Review

We've all seen the old fashioned, metal french fry slicers, right? I've always wanted one, but they aren't that easy to find. I had the opportunity to try this potato chipper by Kuuk, and it is great! It comes with two different size fry cutters, so you can have thick fries or thin fries. There is a storage space on the bottom to hold the second cutting blade when not in use. The great thing about this is that you don't have to use it for just potatoes. You can pretty much do any veggie that you want with it. It's very sturdy, so it isn't going to break the first time you use it, or even the 50th time you use it. This is very high quality and Kuuk has proven over and over that they make good products. This is no exception to that!

Kuuk Mini Pull Chopper Review

<a href="http://www.tomoson.com/?code=TOP168c84b3299c53369fa003906a0b1a79" rel="nofollow"><img style="display: none" src="http://www.tomoson.com/images/front/pixel.png" /></a>

Another great Kuuk product! I used this mini pull chopper to make my potato salad and slaw for our cookout. It is so easy and fun to use. I just chopped the onions into quarters and put them in the little bowl, put the lid on and pulled the handle a few times. It chopped them better than an electric food processor!! My youngest doesn't like it when I use the electric ones because they are so noisy, but with the Kuuk mini pull chopper, there is no noise. It is super quiet and Austin even wanted to help! I chopped onions and eggs in it, and they were perfectly chopped into small pieces. Cleanup was super easy, just soap and water. The blades are very sharp, so be careful not to cut yourself on them. They are small blades, but they are mighty! I received this product for free in exchange for an honest review and all opinions are my own.

Infrared Knee Sleeve by Tayere Therapeutics Review

The infrared knee sleeve by Tayere Therapeutics is a must have for sore, stiff muscles. It is made of breathable fabric, so that your knee won't sweat while it is on. It is infused with tourmaline and has some magnetic properties. It is antibacterial and has moisture wicking technology. One size will fit most, from small to extra large. It is designed to help sooth sore, stiff knees and help you do more. You really should give it a try! My hubby has knee problems, so I got this for him. He said it is very comfortable and stays put. It doesn't make his knee all sweaty like his other sleeve does. He feels that it moves with him more, which leaves him feeling less restricted.

Heavy Bass Earbuds Review

These heavy bass earbuds are really great quality. I had my teenage son test them out, and he said that they work really well. He is rather picky with his earbuds and won't use just any. He said that these deliver with the bass, and that is very important to him. The cords are good quality and don't show any signs of the wires coming loose or anything, which is rare nowadays. The earbuds came with different size covers to work with any ear size. The sound is clear and crisp, without any fuzzy noises or anything. Overall, these are a great product.

Self Coiling Bike Lock Review

This is just what my son needed! This bike lock is very high quality, and will last for years. It is thick, so it won't snap in half after a little use. The combination is able to be set to a number of your choosing, so you can choose something you will remember. The numbers are a good size, so you won't have to squint to see them. I like that it came with an anchor to attach it to the bike, so that you don't have to worry about it flipping around while you are riding. It is self coiling, so you don't have to wrestle with it to wind it up. Definitely a great value for the money!

Argan Oil Review

Argan Oil has to be the most versatile oil. I have used it on my hair, since I bleach it. It helps "heal" my hair and make it softer and more manageable. I have used it on my son for his dry skin. He gets really dry on his arms and legs, and regular lotion just doesn't help, so I rubbed some of this oil on him and it really helps to soften his skin and take care of the dry skin. Another fantastic use? Nails!!! I have worn acrylic nails for years. I recently, in the past few months, decided to go back to natural nails. When I removed the acrylics, my nails were disgusting! They were cracked, peeling, splitting, sore and just downright gross. I wash my hands a million times a day, so that didn't help either. I started using the argan oil as a cuticle oil, but then I started rubbing it on my nail beds, too. What a difference! It really is a miracle oil! There is not horrid scent, or residue, so it is easy on the allergies. This is important to me because I have miserable allergies and get migraines. I am definitely glad that I got the opportunity to add this to my essential oil collection! I received this product for free in exchange for an honest review and all opinions are my own.

Hudson Cast Iron Cleaner Review

This cast iron cleaner by Hudson Essentials is AMAZING!! I cook almost exclusively with cast iron, and I have a hectic life, so I don't always get my skillets cleaned right after use. Well, even though it is seasoned, things stick. You get crunchies in the bottom of the skillets from frying meats and such. So, I usually end up either putting water in it and boiling it on the stove to remove the stuck on crud, or I use a scratcher pad to loosen it. Then, I have to replace the scratcher pads every couple of weeks, and that is a pain. With this cleaner, it is made from stainless steel, which means no rust. It will literally last you forever! It gets the stuck on crud off of my skillets in record time, and is super easy to clean up after! I usually just put a drop of dish soap on it and rub it under water to clean, and viola! It has a handy ring on it, so you can hang it up in between uses to avoid having it laying around on the sink or counter. This thing is the bomb diggity!

Light Up Cable Review

This light up iPhone cable is so cool! It is see through, so you can see the lights very well. I absolutely love that it changes colors while charging. It is a really fun cord. It is perfect for teenagers, or adults. Who am I kidding? I am still a kid at heart :) I love that it works perfectly with my iPhone, without any issues. So many cords don't work with the newer iPhones, but this definitely does! I had to fight my kids over it, and you better believe that I won! It is super fun and works great!

Touchless Soap Dispenser by Simple One review

I am a person that will refill the same soap pump over and over, even the throwaway ones. I am cheap..lol. What I have found over the years is that the soap dispensers get gummy and gross, and dirty. Then, when I refill them, I have to wash them, too. With this soap dispenser by SimpleOne, I don't have to worry about gunk and messy stuff. It is touchless! I simply fill it, set it on my sink and wave my hand under it. It is motion activated. I have found, while using this, that it is very hard to accidentally dispense soap. It isn't "touchy" and you won't dispense soap just by moving in front of it. It has a cute blue light on the front of it that flashes when it is dispensing. This same blue light will flash repeatedly when it is time to refill the dispenser. The design is sleek and modern, with a nice silver finish. It works with any decor.

Easy@Home No Contact Thermometer Review

The Easy@Home thermometer is very nice. It can take the temperature on foreheads, without having to actually touch the forehead. This means that you won't have to wake your little ones to take a temperature! Yay!! It will also tell you the temperature of a room or a surface. For me, the biggest advantage is the fact that it is no contact. I have a son who has autism and sensory processing disorder. He does not like to be touched. At all. This thermometer means no more fighting him to take his temperature when he isn't feeling well! I also used this on my husband after his accident, to make sure he wasn't developing a fever, which would be a sign of infection in his foot. I was able to sneak in and take his temperature without waking him when he was resting. I also tried this on my house, to make sure the temperature was accurate after putting in a new thermostat. It works wonderfully!! It literally will give you an almost instant read! No waiting for 2 or three minutes for it to read, or having to hold a thermometer under the tongue. It is actually fun to use, as I have been going around taking everyone's temperature and testing the surface temperature of my counters and such. I even tried to take my cat's temperature...haha!! It really is a great product! I received this product for free in exchange for an honest review and all opinions are my own.

Fascinomas by Clifton Meador

I was worried that I wouldn't be able to "get into" this book. I thought it would end up being boring and just full of medical jargon. Boy, was I mistaken! Fascinomas by Clifton Meador is a very interesting, captivating book! It is chock full of short stories of medical nature. The stories are true stories about medical afflictions that seem completely baffling at first, then some obvious reason comes to light. The book is very well written, and I couldn't put it down. In fact, I read it all in one sitting! I like that after each story, it tells the name of the doctor who witnessed and/or treated the affliction. It really adds to the authenticity. I am impatiently awaiting the next book from him! I received this book for free in exchange for an honest review and all opinions are my own.

Silicone Lids by Pratico

These silicone lids by Pratico are a life safer! This past weekend when we had a cookout for our July 4th celebration, our garage was full of flies! I hate flies!!! I was able to use these fantastic lids to cover some dishes for which I didn't have a lid. They provide a wonderful seal, preventing bugs and such from getting in. I even used the small one as a sink stopper to soak some corn before grilling. My sink stopper is old and probably needs replaced, so it won't hold water. I just placed the small lid over the drain and filled the sink. It worked very well! These lids are silicone, you can use them on a hot dish or a cold dish, and not have any worries of warping or melting. They have a great grip to them, so you could even use them as a jar gripper! Very versatile! I will definitely be using these a lot :) I received this product for free in exchange for an honest review and all opinions are my own.

Kuuk Food Processor Review

So, I have had experience with Kuuk before and as before, they did not disappoint. The first thing up for review is a hand powered food processor. This is a great power saver product, as you don't use electricity to power it. Instead you use a crank handle. Before you start groaning, let me assure you that it is not a hard handle to crank. It is designed to run smoothly efficiently. Literally just a few cranks and you have some nicely chopped veggies! Since there is no electricity involved, the clean up is simple: soap and water. No cords to worry about at all! It is light weight, and small for easy storage. There is a mixing paddle in it, as well as the chopper blade. To provide additional safety, the chopper blade has a heavy duty cover on it. This is very high quality, without the high price!

Kuuk Salad Spinner

I have never owned a salad spinner before. Ever. I have never used one, either. This was definitely a first for me, and I love it! It is so great! You just rinse your lettuce after you put it in the basket, drain it well and put the basket in the spinner. Crank the handle a few times and it dries your lettuce. Then you can add your other veggies and it will mix them together. Where has this been all of my life??? As with the other products, since there are no electrical parts, you can wash the entire thing in soap and water.

Kuuk Drum Grater Review

The last item by Kuuk that I am reviewing is the drum grater. This is so much better than one of the stand alone metal graters that you have to run the cheese/veggies up and down on. With those old metal graters, you are bound to get some skin mixed in with those veggies and cheese..haha! I've cut myself on them many times. With this drum grater, you have two different drums that are different shred sizes. It sits in the stand, which suctions to the counter top to prevent movement. You put your cheese/veggies in the top and use the gadget that is provided to push the food down. Definitely a skin saver! This is very high quality, and will shred a lot of food!
