REVIEW Double Camping Hammock Live Infinitely





DOUBLE LIGHTWEIGHT CAMPING HAMMOCK & TREE STRAPS BY

(LIVE INFINITELY LOGO)

This is an AMAZING hammock. Very well made with high quality materials. Triple stitched seams and weather resistant nylon!

Of course the f
irst thing we wanted to do was determine how easy it would be for one person to set it up, we found two trees about 9 feet apart and I got to work. It was surprisingly easy to do, even being a first timer, and took less than 3.5 minutes to fully set up!

Once we were able to get in it, it was like instant nap time! 

First I got in it to test the strength (125#) then in came my 3 year old daughter (25#) lastly my husband (240#) and it showed no resistance. We were successfully able to fit all three of us (390#) and still be confident that it would last. We all three enjoyed it for about a half hour then it was time to get out or we would be falling  asleep soon!







While it was just my daughter and I the sides kind of wrapped around the top of us like a pea pod, which was nice, buttons would be a great addition :) Super easy to take down and put away.
Light enough that my 3 year old can carry it around (which she does...everywhere!)

This is a fantastic hammock and very affordable, get yours here:

*REVIEW* Permanent Pet Odor Eliminator Spray


I was really excited to get to try this product since it is marketed as an environmentally and pet friendly cleaner but it did not meet expectations.

We have an 8 year old dog that sometimes can't make it outside in time so she has accidents on the carpet. The smell was noticeable and we were seeing stains too. We used this product as directed FOUR times on one 3" spot on the carpet and the stain and smell are still there! I ended up using some pet stain remover that came from Bissel in my shampooer and the stain is mostly gone now. It doesn't look as though everyone had the same results, as their Amazon listing has mixed reviews but I think it really depends on the age of your carpet. We have no idea how long this carpet has been in our current house (we've rented for 2.5 years) as it was here before we moved in (and not in the best condition at that time either).

I really appreciate the idea behind this product and would love to be able to say it worked for me but it just didn't. I did like that it didn't have a heavy chemical smell to the spray itself. If they reformulated and made a working product I would try it again.

If you would like to give it a shot for yourself you can purchase it on Amazon.

Pink Imperial Crown Dust Plug


 This is the cutest little dust plug (aka ear jack cap) that I have ever seen! :) I absolutely love the way it makes my phone look so fancy :) The hardest part of having one is keeping Little Miss from stealing it! LOL

If you've never heard of a dust plug you're probably looking at the screen like "wtf". But I'm telling you they are so cool and aside from the obvious function (keeping the hole free of lint, debris, etc) they are also a great way to accessorize your phone!

The main function of a dust plug is to keep the headphone jack free of debris. I can't tell you how many times I have had to use a sewing pin to get pocket lint or a little piece of paper out of the hole! It's especially useful if you let your phone "roam free" in your purse! No worrying about sand or random broken whatevers floating at the bottom of your bag getting stuck in that hole!

On to more about this specific plug, it seems to be a plastic form that is coated in gold paint with some rhinestones glued on. It is pretty cheaply made (and priced) so the crown got a little smashed in the mail. It did come with all stones in place though, so that it a plus. I do feel that it is a little too flimsy for me to want it in my phone all the time. The shaft that goes into the phone jack is a soft rubbery plastic and it feels a little flimsy, I am worried that it will break off in the hole.

Overall, it is a decent little plug if you want something to accessorize your phone and show a bit of your personality :)


This plug is sold by Niceeshop on Amazon and retails for $2.59, follow this link if you would like to purchase. There are multiple designs available;

Jola Case Test and Review

#jolacases
I am always dropping my phone, to be honest, I'm very hard on my devices all around. So good, durable cases are an ABSOLUTE NECESSITY in my life! Otter boxes are just too expensive though and they don't have a very good warranty if they do break (trust me-they can!)

That is why I was SO happy when I got to test the Jola Case for my Samsung Galaxy S5! On the price scale it is WAY more affordable than other heavy duty cases on the market. Yet it is still very cool looking-it even comes in 6 different colors (black, green, white, orange, blue and red). It would totally be feasible to get one to match every outfit :D

The corners of the case have a rubber padding to help protect your phone if dropped and the front has a lip around it so it is not flush with your screen-which definitely reduces the risk of getting cracks and nicks on your screen!

This one even came with a screen protector! The best part is it comes with a ONE YEAR WARRANTY! So if something does happen you can get it replaced!

If you would like to give it a shot for yourself you can pick one up for $7.99 on Amazon :) Just follow this link:

I can not tell you how excited I was to get this review! I have been dying to get a mandoline slicer for ages!!!! They are just sooo expensive! This model here goes for $59.99 on Amazon (link to purchase at bottom) Okay, so let's get started!!

First off I love the box, not too small, not too big. Sturdy and great quality.

Contents:
 1 mandoline slicer


4 blades (6x6mm juliene, 3x3mm juliene, 1.5mm slices, 3.5mm slices)
1 storage box that holds 3 blades
1 finger guard

It was snack time so we got started right away with an apple! My daughter loves apples! We decided to use the 3.5mm slice blade to get started, we didn't want them too thin.



The finger guard perfectly fits an apple! It slices so easy you'd think that it was butter! The plunger on the top of the finger guard helps to ensure you slice the whole apple and not your fingers :)
 
  As you can see, Little Miss thoroughly enjoys it! 
Next we wanted to try the juliene blades, we were making  fajitas for supper that night so it worked perfectly to cut up our onion and green pepper. AMAZING! I dread cutting onions-most people do- I've tried all the tricks, use a super sharp knife, put a match stick between your lips, etc. Nothing helped with the tears, until I used this! Not a single tear! 


Still not sold on this item?

There's more to love! Cleanup is a breeze! Just take the blade off and wash! No tiny nooks or crannies for food to get stuck in! Very light weight and has silicone feet so it doesn't slide on the counter top. I lay mine across a mixing bowl so I don't make a huge mess.

Come check it out :) You're going to love it!

You can purchase it here on Amazon:

Drip Drop


Drip Drop hydration powder

Smiley360 
Mission 2

Drip drop hydration powders were created by doctors to help prevent dehydration. They come in two tasty flavors; Berry and Lemon. We weren't huge fans of the aftertaste of the Lemon, but the Berry was delicious! Little A loved it! They come in a box of 8, and it is recommended that you can have one powder in an 8oz glass of water every 1-2 hours until re-hydrated!

Adults are able to consume up to 16 per day and children are recommended  no more than 8. They are not very cheaply priced so it is not something that I would buy on a regular basis but they are good to have for when we go into the mountains or are going to be outdoors during the summer heat!

Head to Walgreens or CVS and try them for yourself today! Let me know what YOU think :)


Cheers

Cami oh Cami


My husband spoils me so much! This year for my birthday he got me the Silhouette Cameo that I have been eyeballing for months!! Now that I have had a bit to work with "her" and see what all "she" can do, I have fallen HEAD OVER HEELS :) 


I couldn't wait to get started making a bunch of cute shirts and signs for little A!! He got the heat vinyl kit so it came with some vinyl for shirts :) and it also came with a $25 card for use in the Silhouette Store, which is where you can buy icons and designs to cut :)

For my first project I was a little intimidated so I didn't want to ruin a perfectly good shirt... So off to Dollar Tree we went :) 




We found an adorable blue and white striped tank top that is 100% cotton :) Very nautical! We decided on pink for the design and cut out a cute little anchor :) I'm proud to say it has held up through many many washes :)The best part is that Little A loves it :D


"Cami" is also very useful when making cards for my pen pal letters!! This design is from the Silhouette Store :) only 99 cents!



Many Many more projects to come :)


Cheers :)

So I've recently started doing some product testing/reviewing work! I'm super excited to start this new endeavor and have my opinions read :) With the help of my amazing husband and our Panda Princess, we will be discussing the products we receive and posting our conclusions on here :) 

Our first mission with Smiley360 was to go check out the Sleep Number Dual Temp Layer at our local Sleep Number store in Glendale, AZ! We were greeted by a fantastic sleep specialist named Jennifer. She answered all my crazy questions and let me lay down in an extremely comfortable bed! I was in heaven!!!!!! 
The Dual Temp Layer is like a foam layer that goes on top of your existing mattress. It can cool or heat depending on what you want the temperature to be, and it doesn't have to be the second on both sides of the bed! It was like having your own personal air conditiner built into your mattress!
