Aicok Single Serve K-cup Coffee Maker





I ordered the Aicok Single Serve K-cup Coffee Maker the other day and I am really happy that I did.  I guess I'm behind the times and still have used my Mr. Coffee.  I have wanted to get a Keurig for a long time but was waiting for the price to come down more. I also wanted a single serve maker for the mere fact that when I make a pot of coffee for me and my husband, we waste half a pot.  I've tried making 1/2 pot, but for some reason it just never tastes as good.  Another thing is that I stopped making coffee on the weekday mornings, because it's such a hassle and again, I would waste most of it.

Now that I have had the chance to use the Aicok for about 4 days, I am so happy.  Each morning getting ready for work I make my single cup and I'm good to go, no waste, no hassle.  I simply pour the water into the resevoir, place my cup on the holder, pop in a k-cup and within a few minutes I have the hottest, steaming cup of coffee!!

The Aicok Coffee Maker is just so simple.  To place your pod in the machine, you simply turn the dial on the top of the coffee maker and the tip pops up.  You also see the area to add your water.  I use a measuring cup with a lip, so I don't spill water.  If you have a tall coffee mug, you can take out the cup holder to allow more room. **This is not a coffee maker that holds several cups of water for future use.  It is a maker that you add the water per serving. There is also no heat that comes from the holder, the water is heated just like a Keurig does.

I am very happy with my purchase.  It's also small enough for traveling.

LEMFO IW08 Smart Watch

I ordered the LEMFO IW08 Smart Watch because I've never had one and have been wanting one that didn't break the bank. So you could say this is a starter Smart Watch for me. And I'm very happy with it. You could say I'm a little technically challenged so if I can adjust the settings on this watch for my needs, pretty much anyone can.

I really love the face, it is very impressive and you can choose different wallpapers. The face of the watch is large and you can easily see what is on the screen. There is a menu that you can choose the different options for your smart watch, calls, text, settings, alarms, clock, camera. I have not inserted my sims card to make it a stand alone smart watch, because I use my phone so much for other things that the watch would not be able to do, such as writing emails. However, you do get a notification when you receive messages. I have choosen to use this watch with bluetooth connectivity. This smart watch offers alot more than I thought it would and seems to be constructed very well. I love that you can download the BT Notification for the watch and easily make adjustments to settings from your phone.You can also download the fundo companion app for fitness, similar to a fitbit. You scan the Qcode and can easily download these right to your phone and watch.

 I choose this watch because when I'm walking would like to listen to my music and I also think it's great way to rid yourself of your phone in hand. While walking I'm also able to use the FUNDO companion for steps.

Sol Wellness Himalayan Salt Lamp - Premium Quality Natural Pink Salt Glow Light With Bulb And Dimmer

I absolutely LOVE my Sol Wellness Himalayan Salt Lamp! I have heard of them before and I've seen them, but this is my first one to purchase. The product description states that they have healing properties associated with them, such as,"purifying the air, helping to regulate body circulation and PH balances, making you feel healthier while improving your mental state! It naturally clears its surroundings of allergens, including pollen, smoke, dust particles and other air pollutants. It's perfect for allergens, allergies, and asthma sufferers." Well, you don't have to try to sell me....if it does have of that I'm really happy.  I've had my Salt Lamp for a week or more, I haven't noticed the health benefits yet, it may be helping I just haven't noticed yet. I have read reviews of this product also that people have stated it has helped them with different ailments.

What I have noticed, is how beautiful the corner of the room looks when I have this Lamp lit. The gorgeous amber/pink hue is creates a very relaxing and calm mood. The lighting is adjustable so you can dim it if you'd like. I love mine on the highest setting. The lamp will heat, but not at any type of danger point. Besides it's only a 15 watt bulb. Each one is unique, mine was about 10 lbs and is about 11" tall.  Each one is handcrafted and sits on a wooden base.  I love the VERY unique look of my salt lamp. 

I will be getting another one for my bedroom.

RIOGOO Pet Dog Waterproof Electric Heating Mat Thermal Cat Warming Pad

If you are anything like me, my pets are my babies.  I have a 70lb part  Shepherd and a Torti Cat, both were adopted rescues  We pretty much spoil both of them. I originally ordered the RIOGOO Pet Electric Heating Mat for my dog Riley, however, I soon realized after ordering it, that his butt would be the only thing on the mat ;-)  So I decided to get it for my Cat.

It was perfect for her.  I don't know why I thought otherwise, all cats like to snuggle in a warm spot and with the winter coming soon, I knew she would love it.  Needless to say I have found her curled up in my grand daughters play pen every night.  So I put the Heating mat in the play pen and Yep!  She loved it!  I love that it is waterproof, which makes it so easy to clean.

The controller has two settings on it, low and high.  With our temps in Texas being in the lows of 50 and 60's I only have it set on low right now. The mat also has an anti bite cord, not that my cat would, but my dog might.  I really like this mat and I know it will get plenty of use this winter.  My only suggestion would be to have a mat cover.  I intend to place a small baby blanket ontop of the mat, but I think it would be cool if the maker of this mat added that, it would be a nice addition to a good product.

I did receive this item in a promotion however, I was under no obligation to review this product.

Guard Dog Security Electra Concealed Lipstick Stun Gun with 100-Lumen Flashlight

For your daughters, your wives, girlfriends, Moms...I LOVE the thought that I am helping my daughter protect herself if the need arises by getting her this Guard Dog Concealed Lipstick Stun Gun.

My daughter works for the local police department.  She worked as a jailer for over a year and is now in 911/Emergency and Police Dispatch.  Although she has had physical training on how to deal with people of an aggressive behavior, especially when she was a Jailer...I worry about her well being.  With the way some of the people in our communities have bad feelings towards anyone associated with Police Departments, I worry even more.  So when I had the opportunity to order her the Stun Gun, I jumped at the chance to help give her just one more piece of protection that she can carry.  But you don't have to work in law enforcement to want added security.

The Stun Gun is discretely concealed in a tube.  The product description states "lipstick"  although it is larger than most lipstick cases I have.  It is more of the size of an atomizer.  It's very pretty and has rhinestones on it as well.  You can clip this to your key ring and no one would think twice about it.

The Stun Gun sound is alarming...so even if you are in close enough proximatey, the sound alone would deter someone.  You also have a button for a 100-Lumen Flashlight, that you can also use to blind an aggressive person.  It is so bright.  Both of these are enough for you to use and give you more time to escape the situation.  Or if need be...you can actually Stun the person.  You will actually need to touch them with the stun gun.  They would basically be an idiot if you send the warning of the stun sound or flashlight, but if they are, they would definitely deserve a good shock :-)

I don't think you can put a price on peace of mind.  But this Stun Gun is completely affordable for anyone.  I think this would make a great gift for someone you love.  I did a video of the stun gun, it's not a great video, but you'll get the idea of the sound and flashlight.  Also, I saw on a previous review someone did that the cap was too loose and did not fit correctly.  I had absolutely no problem with mine and if you see in the video, I took the cap off with one hand and struggled a bit with just one hand.  However, not enough that it would be an issue to remove the cap.



I did receive this product in a promotion, however the review is solely my own and I was not under any obligation to place a positive or negative review.

Scratch Travel Map Classics-Such A Valuable Teaching Tool

Education!  I am so excited to review this awesome Scratch Travel Map...One of the best ways to teach in my opinion is hands on.  This awesome map is all hands on.  You could purchase this map to track your travels, but even more valuable ...a teaching tool.

This is a very large world map 35X21"  It comes with pages of stickers to apply to the map from everything from animals of the world, to flags, to destination spots of travels.  The map also comes with it's on scratch off coin.  I was pleased to see that the map comes shipped in a cylinder tube and is protected by tissue so that the area of the map is protected against areas being scratched off in shipment.

I can't wait to see the mind of my grandson expand as he learns about our world and different countries.  Such a valuable interactive teaching tool.  I wished we had something similar when my children were small.





I did receive this map at a discount.  I was under no obligation to review the product, however I have given a review because I loved it!  You can find this map at https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01M03P8M3/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o08_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Icicle Crystal Solar String Lights, 20ft 30 LED Waterproof Outdoor Globe Fairy Lighting




Lights!!!!! Who doesn't love Christmas lights?  I had no idea that when I ordered these Icicle Crystal Solar lights they would be as cool as they are.  Pictures do not does these lights justice.  There are 8 different settings that automatically change to the next lighting mode.  From fading, to flashing to 2 color fade.  The colors of the lights are beautiful, purple, gold, red, green.

I love that these are Waterproof.  My lights have been hanging on my backyard doorway for over a week.  The rain, cool nights, hot days, moisture in the air...NOTHING has affected the performance of the lights.  They continue to work fantastic!

Because they are solar powered, I am not using any electricity at all, which is a huge issue of lighting up our house during the holidays (Electric Bill)  I am trying to have at least 80% of our lighting be from solar power.  With lights like these it will not only be beautiful, but cost effective for me. Speaking about cost effective...have you priced lights yet???  Home Depot, Walmart...they get so expensive...At the price that Amazon is listing them for you have nothing but a Win Win if you get them from Amazon.

I did receive these lights at a discount.  Please note I was not requested, required or expected to place a review.  I review items that I love!!!

F. Steen Japan Quartz Analog Watch with Genuine Leather Band (3)

I have some amazing watches to talk about.  They are the 3 F. Steen Japan Quartz Watches, each with Genuine Leather Bands.  Talk about beautiful, each has an awesome style! All F. Steen watches were created by a French Canadian designer.  Each watch has such a unique design and special touches that make them attractive to wear.  You can dress it up or dress it down!   All of the watches come in a sleeved gift box and when you open the top of the box the first word is Wow! Beautiful!

First, the Men's FS2C3 - It is a Gorgeous Round Silver Watch with Roman Numerals and a Black Leather Band.  The band is a buckle type closure with 2 straps to secure the end.  This watch is fantastic and could honestly be a Unisex watch.  It's face of the watch is slightly larger than the womens watches but I don't honestly think there is a rule on fashion when it comes to watches.https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B019HKHGRS/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o09_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1#technicalSpecifications_feature_div

Second, the Women's Blossom FS2A2 - I am in LOVE with this beautiful watch.  The face is round with Rhinestones and Roman Numerals.  It is so classy, but yet can be worn even with jeans.  This neutral colored watch goes with everything.  It has a tan leather band with a buckle clasp.  The Rhinestones surrounding the face shine and glisten as your wrist moves.  BEAUTIFUL!
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0195LLN6E/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1


Lastly, the  Women's FS2B2- This Classy round faced watch is surrounded by beautiful Rhinestones.  And has an analog display.  I love the fact that the base of the face is black, then you have the silver which is always a gorgeous play of two colors, then you have the genuine leather band, with a buckle clasp. Just as the "F.Steen Blossom" the Rhinestones glisten as you move.
 https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B019HIU3RA/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 

If you are wondering why I am reviewing 3 watches....I just couldn't pick one.  I wanted the tan to go with my wardrobe that has tans, browns, jean.  I got the black, because they go with everything; one I wanted the classy look of rhinestones and the other I wanted a more classic down to earth look.   I did receive these watches with a discount however, by no means did a discount influence my reviews.  Nor was I requested or required to place a review.

Slim Mens Genuine Leather Durable Wallet Bifold Extra Capacity 12 Card Slots Pabojoe

This is absolutely a GORGEOUS wallet!  My husband recently and accidently washed his wallet.  Needless to say, after it dried...looked pretty pathetic; plus he has had it for years.  I was so happy to get this wallet for him.  It makes almost every wallet he has had in the past look cheap compared to this one.

The Pabomoe Italian Leather Wallet is beautiful and classy looking.  The emblem on the outer side of the wallet is a plus.  Once you open up the wallet you'll notice more credit card slots than most wallets.  On the right side of the wallet you have a secure credit card slot because there is a snap closure keeping that side of the wallet completely closed unless you unsnap it.  Once you do you'll also notice that the unique thing about this wallet, it has SD card slots.  A truly unique surprise.  Thre are two cash slots as well.

This Italian Leather smells wonderful!  The quality of the Pabojoe Wallet is top notch.  I just wish I would have ordered this for my hubby long ago, but I can tell you with this type of quality, I know he will have this beautiful wallet for many years to come.  Now to order one for my son :-)

I did receive this product at a discount but I was not influence or obligated to leave a review.  I left a review on this wallet because it truly is absolutely wonderful!

Bluetooth Earbud, FKANT V4.1 Wireless Headset Headphone Invisible Ultra Small Mini Earphone Earpiece with MIC

Wow! Just Wow!  I could not believe this little earbud could possibly do everything the product page said it would do, but it does and more!   The FKANT Wireless Headset is the coolest thing and incredibly powerful.  I don't know exactly how they can make just an earbud have the sound quality both for music and phone, but they do and at an awesome price as well.  I would have thought that the price point on this earbud would be twice the amount.

The earbud fits nicely in your ear and it's very comfortable as well.  In order to answer a call you simply touch the side of the earbud and the same to end the call.  I have not had any issues with draining the charge at all since I only use this earbud while driving to and from work and errands, so I can't personally say how long the charge last, but it does exactly what I need it for.

If you are looking into buying a headset to be hands free this is it!  I did order this headset at a discount and I was under no obligation to review this item.  #discountrocks #reddirtreviews

Fiream Girls Crewneck Cartoon Long Sleeve Hoodie Sweatshirt

I have been blessed by adding grand children to my family by the gift of marriage.  I have 5 grand children and my husband has 7.  So together we have 12.  YEP 12!  LOL

One of my gifted grand daughters who is 2 is such a delight and beautiful.  I saw this Fiream Girls Crewneck Hoodie Sweatshirt and had to buy it for her.  It is so cute!!! I am buying her some black leggings to wear with it.  The sweatshirt is made so well and I love that it has snaps on the shoulder area...we all know what it's like to pull a sweatshirt over a 2 year olds head.  The cartoon design on the front of the shirt is so cool!  The bunny ears have a silk stitching and the rest of the design is made to grab your little girls heart.

The only confusing thing about this product name is that this is not a hoodie sweatshirt.  There is no hood.  That did not keep me from just loving this shirt for my grand daughter ...but the Seller needs to change the product name to match what this product is....a sweatshirt.  Other than that....AWESOME

I did receive this sweatshirt at a discount.  I was under no obligation to review this item, I did because it is too cute and I know she will love it!

PoshPeanut Mermaid Blanket Softest Minky Comfy Cozy Blankie for Kids Ages 3-13 with FREE Toy Doll Blanket Included Aqua and Pink

OMG, this is about the cutest thing you've ever seen!!!!  I ordered this cool Posh Mermaid Blanket for my "gifted by marriage" grand daughter who is 6.  She's such a girly girl and when I saw this Mermaid Blanket I just had to get her one.  The bonus is that it also comes with a Mermaid Blanket for her teddy bear or doll; for free.

I wish the internet had touch and feel, because these blankets are sooo soft.  It has puffed minky on one side and and the softest solid side on the back. The colors are so sweet as well.  Perfect for a 6 year old little girl.  I can't wait to see her in this Mermaid blanket on Christmas day and I wish I could take a picture of her in it now, but then it would spoil the surprise.  So I took pictures of just her Mermaid blanket with the doll Mermaid blanket.

I did receive this Mermaid blanket at a discount and I was under no obligation to review it, however, it is so awesome I felt I wanted to.
