#Funcake 30 in 1 Cake Decorating Tip Set Review

<a href="http://www.tomoson.com/?code=TOP6680d30dd6903d51755057cbccf3c13d" rel="nofollow"><img style="display: none" src="http://www.tomoson.com/images/front/pixel.png" /></a>

I am ecstatic to have gotten the opportunity to receive this set at a discount, I just couldn't wait to test out and supply an honest review!
I used this set the other day to make some Halloween/Fall themed cookies... well that is until I realized I had the perfect cut out and color to create the poop emoji. I mean, when do you ever get to say that your poop is kind of cute?!? Mine is!!
So with that out of the way here are my thoughts:
HIGHS
-The bags are durable, silicon type material that I don't feel will have the staining issue I have had with some of the regular reusable bags.
-The coupler fits my wilton and another brand icing tips
-The storage case
-The 24 tip variety
-The price (wilton is like min of .99 a tip if you buy them single)
-The guarantee
-The seller via Amazon was GREAT!!!!!
-The small opening part where the coupler fits is a bit long, meaning you can choose to clip it to fit your needs best based off of if you decided to use your #funcake bags with wilton couplers, etc. Such an interchangeable set!

I used this kit right out of the cake for cookie decorating with royal icing which is a WHOLE other ball game from cake decorating icing. But even then I only found three critical things that I wouldn't consider to be a deal breaker...just the whole truth and nothing but the truth.
-The sturdier bag didn't want to stay twisted close to ensure the runny royal icing from squeezing back out the top. I had an incident or two.
-The tips aren't marked to tell each one apart. It's how I keep all things straight and remember how I created designs.
-The smallest round tip was a 3 or 4 (comparable to Wilton's 3 or 4), and this is only negative because I used for cookie decorating. I use primarily round tips in cookie decorating, so I was only able to try out one of funcake's tips in this set of cookies I decorated.

Overall I think whatever your decorating level or needs are you will find this very price efficient set worth it.

Smarson 3 - LED Wireless Motion Light Review

<a href="http://www.tomoson.com/?code=TOP19362f8f3b72000ca56f0237f53084b0" rel="nofollow"><img style="display: none" src="http://www.tomoson.com/images/front/pixel.png" /></a>
Cool concept! Small light, doesn't take up much space. Great for a not often visited, yet poorly lit area. It can be wall mounted. It's motion sensor takes all the hassle out of power switches and running batteries out of this product.
If this is located in a high traffic area, it must be noted that the light will switch on as soon as motion is detected, even when you don't want it to. This leads to shorter battery life. The light will then in turn switch off when motion has not been detected in about 6-10 seconds.
#smarssen is working to improve the instruction manual, although the light is fairly easy to figure out even for a girl...me. They will also update the incorrect info on Amazon that this light takes 3 AAA batteries when in fact the light takes 3 AA batteries.
I was given the opportunity to experience this item and review in exchange for a product discount.

Stolevar Camping Cookware Set Review

<a href="http://www.tomoson.com/?code=TOP1c172b37e712909a99dbfd68f5dcdc84" rel="nofollow"><img style="display: none" src="http://www.tomoson.com/images/front/pixel.png" /></a>

I love the idea of camping, and have backyard fires often, yet don't actually go camping super often. I couldn't pass up the opportunity to receive this item at a discount and have the chance to review even if I don't get to turn around and go camping tomorrow. This set is so neat! It is a pan and pot, two bowls, a serving spoon, a ladle, a spoon and fork, a sponge and a bag to put it all in. It all stacks together and fits in the bag that is not much bigger than my hand. I bake a lot, so have several wilton cake pans that are super light and durable. These pans remind me of the weight of those. YET.... are you seeing the fold up handles with wooden inlay so that an oven mitt (ok - you're camping... glove) isn't needed to pull the hot pot of the fire. Rough it all you want and still eat hot meals with this i#messkit set. Yet, the weight and size of this set isn't going to take up a lot of room or break a back. Considering prices I have seen in sports stores including coleman, I think Stolevar has it marked at a decent price.

Sprucebay Insulated Picnic Carrier Review

<a href="http://www.tomoson.com/?code=TOP2bd9fbb25f982f393f94694826488559" rel="nofollow"><img style="display: none" src="http://www.tomoson.com/images/front/pixel.png" /></a>
I have been eyeing something like this for quite some time, so I squealed at the opportunity from Aspenbox to receive this Sprucebay #picnicbasket at a discount! My research included insulated casserole carriers and such but never thought of a picnic basket! Even then, I am sometimes hesitant to purchase things "i think" will work online, (generally to receive and find out the material or dimensions were not what you thought) but I have been coming up short for months by looking in the stores as well! I have been wanting something to gift my BFF so she can take her many hot or cold breakfast items she takes to her class on Sundays, but something also for myself to either travel with large dishes to share at events or my little ones on a picnic! This basket fits both needs. It is water proof, leak proof, wipeable and well insulated. It has sturdy handles that are attached to a frame built right into the top part of the basket, which means if you put really really heavy
casseroles in there the handles aren't going to fly off and shatter your hard work. I show the basket in the pics below with my 9x13 metal pan that has a lid. I had to turn it a bit sideways to move past the metal frame but after that it fits completely flat in the bottom! Look at all the room on top of that pan as well! There are wire supports to allow you to push down to support the basket from folding in. Just as it states in the heading, it is collapsible so you can save on storage space. It doesn't take up much more space than my 9x13 pan as pictured. Because of the lid's rounded shape and the way the fabric seam of the insulation meets the zipper, it makes the zipper a bit tougher to zip. For me I had to get out of my head that I could close with one hand and use the other to guide the inside seam from getting in the way of the zipper. NOT a deal breaker here. Just the only somewhat critical thing I could find to say. Curved zippers are usually always tricky, even on sturdy suitcases. Super excited to embroider a personalized patch to go on the front for my dear friend (which I will glue on...not going to poke through that insulation..no thank you!), and can't wait to hear how much she loves it! Then will be finding the cushion space in the budget for extras to get myself one!

#ExtraFitBody Detox Digestive Health Supplement Review

<a href="http://www.tomoson.com/?code=TOP9ead23fc7d7b9f223b9af6bc8933a0d3" rel="nofollow"><img style="display: none" src="http://www.tomoson.com/images/front/pixel.png" /></a>
Review overload here but wanted to let you know the health benefits and uses of all the ingredients found in your bottle of #ExtraFitBody Detox supplement. I like to say I'm conscientious of the foods and products I put in my body, but then what about the mindless eating of the oreos that I had this weekend? Some of the ingredients I HAVE NO IDEA the benefit, because well there isn't! So yes we need to stay aware and not take things that will harm our bodies and I know people who are extremely leery of using any product that hasn't been evaluated by the FDA (but please see the note below why supplements do not need to have approval from the FDA unless they have a "new dietary supplement")
-
NOTE ON FDA APPROVAL
In October 1994, the Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act (DSHEA) was signed into law by President Clinton. Before this time, dietary supplements were subject to the same regulatory requirements as were other foods. This new law, which amended the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act, created a new regulatory framework for the safety and labeling of dietary supplements.Under DSHEA, a firm is responsible for determining that the dietary supplements it manufactures or distributes are safe and that any representations or claims made about them are substantiated by adequate evidence to show that they are not false or misleading. This means that dietary supplements do not need approval from FDA before they are marketed. Except in the case of a new dietary ingredient, where pre-market review for safety data and other information is required by law, a firm does not have to provide FDA with the evidence it relies on to substantiate safety or effectiveness before or after it markets its products. Also, manufacturers need to register themselves pursuant to the Bioterrorism Act with FDA before producing or selling supplements. June, 2007, FDA published comprehensive regulations for Current Good Manufacturing Practices for those who manufacture, package or hold dietary supplement products. These regulations focus on practices that ensure the identity, purity, quality, strength and composition of dietary supplements.

Here is a breakdown of what all the benefits from each ingredient:
Aloe vera is generally known for its soothing, skin healing properties. However, aloe can also be be used in a myriad of other ways. Health benefits include: Soothes and helps reduce irritation in the digestive tract. Cascara sagrada is a natural laxative made from the reddish-brown bark of a tree (Rhamnus purshiana) native to western North America. Apple fruit pectin is a complex carbohydrate, a soluble fiber found in the walls of plant cells. People take slippery elm for coughs, sore throat, colic, diarrhea, constipation, hemorrhoids, irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), bladder and urinary tract infections, syphilis, herpes, and for expelling tapeworms. Fennel has long been used as a remedy for flatulence and indigestion in traditional medicines. Cayenne Pepper helps digestion, provides detox support, supports weight loss, boosts metabolism and works as an anti-irritant. Garlic also has anti-inflammatory benefits. Additionally, garlic is an excellent source of manganese and vitamin B6 and a very good source of vitamin C and copper. Barberry root contains many health benefits for antifungal, antibacterial, antioxidant activity and more to treat internal and external conditions. The benefits of wormwood are not limited to its efficacy against harmful organisms.The proven basis for the beneficial effects of artichoke leaf extract on the gastrointestinal system is the promotion of bile flow. Traditionally, yellow dock root has been thought to be a blood purifier and general detoxifier, especially for the liver. It also stimulates bile production, which helps digestion, particularly of fats. Ginger has a long history of use for relieving digestive problems such as nausea, loss of appetite, motion sickness and pain. Magnesium stearate has natural lubricant properties, something very important to the quality in how vitamins are produced. Silicon dioxide (SiO2) in food is very important for normal development of bones. Silicon dioxide, also referred as silica, is necessary to maintain healthy skin, hair, and nails. Rice flour is an insoluble fiber, the substance that helps waste material move through the intestines, and is gluten free. Gelatin benefits include improvement of gut health and digestion.
No one can eat healthy 100 % of the time and feeling "weighted" down by what we eat and poor digestion can cause us to feel sluggish and bloated. No crazy smells or indigestion from taking. I felt like the this product worked efficiently (no TMI here) without any digestion pains or discomfort. Works best if used with lots of water. Thank you to #ExtraFitBody for giving me the opportunity to receive this product at a discount in exchange for my honest unbiased review.

IPhone 6s/6 Plus 5.5 Inch Waterproof drop case by #aowoto Review

<a href="http://www.tomoson.com/?code=TOPb7b9893dc6572cb14d3ac8f9ec8edfaa" rel="nofollow"><img style="display: none" src="http://www.tomoson.com/images/front/pixel.png" /></a>
GREAT kid proof protection!!!! Yes drop in the toilet-proof, spill-proof, i found your phone and touched buttons with my peanut butter covered hands-proof, and now need to be wiped down with a clorax wipe and 409 proof. Of course it's handiness doesn't stop there with all of life's other adventures  being able to protect your phone from liquid and shattering are two VERY important qualities with everyone on the go! My phone goes everywhere I go, so of course I want to be able to use the data, camera, and video on it for all of life's special moments. Yet it only takes a second for a drop in the water, a spill, a knock down to shatter the glass and then it's too late to think about protecting it. With this #AOWOTO case being under $20 I, or anyone else for that matter, have no excuse if I put my phone in a situation for it to get damaged. I have never used an otter box so can not give a side by side comparison but think the protection of this case to that one must be pretty close....
It's sturdy. It stays put once installed. (It takes a few minutes the first time with following the instructions closely and patient hands to install and then remove if need be.) It's not overly large, only a tad bit bigger than a normal snap on case for the iphone 6s plus, or adding a lot of extra bulk to your phone. It comes in a variety of bold colors (we're a bold generation and want choices). The only negative thing I can say about this case is that the non apple charging cable I am currently using doesn't fit into the charger through the case. I had to switch back to the original charging cable that came with the iphone. Not really a deal-breaker I would say. So whatever you have in your life that you need to protect your phone from - dirt, to water to cleaners to dropping, this case is pretty great! I was given the opportunity to receive this product at a discount in exchange for my honest unbiased review.

#TeethingDroolPadsandBib for ErgoBaby 360 Review

<a href="http://www.tomoson.com/?code=TOPad8c647a5eeb56782a4bbe3f6569f7a2" rel="nofollow"><img style="display: none" src="http://www.tomoson.com/images/front/pixel.png" /></a>
What an amazing idea! I personally purchased to give these #TeethingDroolPadsandBib to give a close friend who purchased an Ergo because I couldn't dream of having a kid and living without mine!!! I raved how having a baby and a toddler is possible because of an Ergo...lol. (I know it was done before, but not this comfortably) Yet now there is an Ergo 360 carrier!!! Go ERGOBABY! Thank you! Even with the traditional Ergo I felt like I was ALWAYS washing and having to wait for it to dry because of constant spit up, drool or the occasional blow out. These, made-for-Ergo drool pads and bib, button right on to your ergo! The print is super cute and would look adorable with any of the color options available in the 360. They are super soft and won't peel (you know like a fleece blanket) plus are very absorbent. Check out the close up's below. I love the two elastic bands so that a toy ring and toy (think stroller toy) attached. I was given the opportunity to receive at a discount in exchange for my honest unbiased opinion.
