Umbrella

Very good quality umbrella. I really like how sturdy it is. It packs quite small and it has a protective carry cover. It opens by pressing a button on the handle, it "shoots" open. I was surprised the same button needs to be pressed to close the umbrella - it closes the top fabric part and then you just push the metal rod back into the handle to make it small again. I tested the umbrella today but surprisingly there was not much wind so right now I cannot attest whether it really holds to the wind speed claimed, but considering how sturdy it is, I would expect it handle at least some good wind.
I absolutely love the pattern, it's fun and stylish at the same time, and it actually felt good to carry this umbrella around the downtown core filled with business people that are always dressed to perfection.

Another thing to mention, the umbrella dries quite fast! I can't say that about every umbrella I ever had that's for sure.
Rating 4 overall, it is a great quality product I just wish it was a little lighter. It's not super heavy, but it's not an umbrella I'd keep in my purse or backpack to carry around "just in case" - but I know people who carry more weight than that in their purse so don't take me too too seriously in this regard.

.....

Today marks the day when I got more birthday wishes from automated systems from companies I am signed up with for "deals" than my friends....

 It's all good, the times when I felt liked and appreciated have been gone for several years now, and truth to be told, I am not putting much effort in changing anything. I am friendly and nice with people, but I gave up on trying to pursue friendship...Living on another continent means my original friends from Europe start to forget all about me and I cannot blame them, they have their own lives and families....a lot of friends I had here moved to different places around North America so again, out of sight, out of mind.....and I am exhausted trying to make new friends.

And this is not my first birthday that kind of sucks - thank goodness I did not have very high expectations anyways.

Now I just have to decide if I make my own cake or go buy it....'cause I really do crave a cake. And some wine.

PURGGO Car Air Freshener - Fragrance & Scent Free - Lasts 365+ Days - Made with 100% Bamboo Charcoal

When I hear air freshener I have this idea of something that actually gives fragrance - usually a chemical one that gives me a migraine. So when I saw something that is scent free, I was pretty excited. I was wondering how big this thing would be and how long it would last - and last but not least, I was curious about how well would it work?
This is basically a fabric package filled with bamboo charcoal which is absolutely natural. There are no added perfumes or scents. There is no gels, nothing artificial in this. I love the idea. The package is fairly big, almost the size of the head rest in my car. You just hang it over the headrest and tighten the straps so it stays in place. Super easy!
Now I am not one to get my car detailed ever, and I use a coin wash for the outside, so sometimes it does get smelly inside, especially if I drive anywhere with my little one - 15 month old in diapers. Murphy's laws never fail and often my LO does #2 while driving somewhere...Getting in a car smelling of a poopy diaper a few hours after this happened is really nothing pleasant. I have to say, this package does help to eliminate odor quite well! I was pretty skeptical but now I am sold now!

I'll just have to update in a year as this product is supposed to last for over a year and my experience has not been that long just yet!

All in all, I give the product five starts. My humble opinion is, however, that it might be more fitting to call it an air neutralizer rather than freshener because it does neutralize smell, I did not feel like the air in my car is "fresher" as per se.

J.Rosée Mother's Day 925 3D Rubik's Cube Pendant Necklace for Women

This necklace is just pure perfection. So so so beautiful!!! It comes in a sealed box, and the necklace itself is sealed in the box as well - that ensures there is no tampering with it along the way, and no scratches etc. as the plastic seal holds the beautiful cube in place.
I could not find any flaws on this necklace. It's beautiful, it's shiny, it's just gorgeous.The pendant is quite big as you can see on the pics of me holding it - it's about the size of my nail. I have really small hands, but you can see how big this beautiful pendant actually is. The silver necklace is easy to fasten yourself, I did not need my hubby to help and I managed to get it on on first attempt. The stones are cubic zirconia and they are gorgeous. The cube has three parts to it that can move which I like.
There is also a cute little tag included that you can use if you are gifting this beautiful piece of jewelry.
Five stars out of five, I am super excited I have something this beautiful to wear. This necklace will go well with formal wear and casual wear alike!
I would not hesitate to give this necklace as a gift to someone close to me - my Mom, my Mother-in-law, my sisters-in-law or my friends.

Safety locks

I have been looking for some unconventional locks for a while. I have a 15 month old who recently started getting into places she should not, and we have some cabinets and drawers that don't allow for the use of the usual child locks that you can get at toys'r'us. These magnetic locks are very handy and a lot more discrete!!! The locks has a catch that is installed above and/or inside the drawer or cupboard; a barb with magnet that is installed on the inside the drawer or cupboard door; and magnet that is used as a key. The key has a holder that you place somewhere where your kid cannot reach - in my case it was the kitchen fan above the oven.
The packaging has simple to use instructions which helps to position all parts of the lock properly. The locks are really easy to install and stick nicely.
I have not tried to remove any of these yet but other reviews suggest it's pretty easy so when the time comes, I will use their tips and tricks.
I am super happy with this product and would recommend it. A friend of mine had similar ones installed in her home and the price was significantly higher while they did the same job as these ones!

Whisks Set

This is a lovely set with three different sizes of whisks. Up until now I used to have one metal and one silicone whisk, and the metal one broke down on me recently - it was time to look for a replacement! There whisks definitely have a professional and sturdy look to them. They are stainless steel so they won't rust and they won't keep food stuck to them. I love the small whisk, it's super useful to mix stuff in small bowl or even in a mug. I use these to mix eggs and baking batter and I find these whisks are strong enough to handle pretty thick batter which is awesome. And they are pretty lightweight which is nice if you have to mix something rigorously for a while, you won't get as tired as you would with a heavy whisk.
And the price for the set is great, definitely a good deal!

Orblue Rotary Cheese Grater

I always wanted one of these! I cook pasta quite often and i make other dishes that require grating so this is a perfect kitchen gadget for me :) This is yet another Orblue product of very high quality. The drum is metal, and the casing is made of good quality plastic. You just open the top, put the cheese in, close up and turn the handle. So easy to operate, really like some of the big rotary graters they use in italian restaurants :) And not having to worry about scraping my knuckles is a nice bonus! Beware this grater is not to grate mozzarella or any other soft cheese, it really is meant for hard cheese like parmesan and you can even grate stuff like chocolate in it. For the hard stuff it works like magic! I am quite impressed with this product.

J.Rosée Sterling Silver Cubic Zirconia Heart Shape Pendant Necklace for Women with Box Chain (Purple )

I could not find any flaws on this necklace. It's beautiful, it's shiny, it's just gorgeous. I was actually quite surprise by its size, I expected the little heart and the stone in it to be a lot smaller than it actually is. I am attaching a pic of me holding the pendant, and I have really small hands, so you can see how big this thing actually is. The silver necklace is easy to fasten yourself, I did not need my hubby to help and I managed to get it on on first attempt - not always the case with some of my other chains! The stones are cubic zirconia and they are flawless.
There is also a cute little tag included that you can use if you are gifting this beautiful piece of jewelry.
Five stars out of five, I did not get any jewelry in a while and I am super excited I have something this beautiful to wear.

Chalkboard Labels Stickers GikBay, 48 Premium Chalk Board Peel Stick 6 Sets with 3Pcs Chalk Marker Home Office Kitchen Stickers , 3.5 X 2 Inches, Black

Neat little product for sure. Easy to use and they can be use on so many things - coffee or tea tins, mason jars, cookie jars, glasses, canning jars, jelly jars, spice jars, scrapbooking tins or containers, water bottles...literally on anything that you want to tag! They can be used with liquid chalk (three provided in the package) or regular chalk. I find the liquid ones look a lot better! :) The labels are smooth and thin. There are four different shapes of stickers in the package. The writing is easy to wipe off.
And the best thing is - they can be reused!
They should also be dishwasher safe but I have not really tried that yet so cannot comment.

Purchase yours here.
