Storage Box Organizers for Drawers by HomePro Goods

Sometimes it’s hard to keep your drawers organized, especially when you happen to store multiple types of clothing in them. I usually like storing my delicates in one drawer while keeping the shirts in another and then a separate one for socks. However, the inside of my drawers usually end up becoming messy half way through the week.

These Drawer Organizers/Storage Boxes by HomePro Goods make organizing your drawers amazingly easy and simple while looking great and stylish. My drawers have never looked better. Every time I open my drawers now, I breathe a sigh of relief rather than having to spend time to rearrange my mess again. I received these Drawer Organizer Storage Boxes for testing purposes and this is my honest and unbiased review.
The product comes with three organizer boxes, each with different sized built-in compartments to store larger and smaller items. I like using the 18 compartment box to store socks, the larger 8 compartments to store underwear, and the largest 6 compartments to store various shirts and bras.

The storage organizer boxes arrive flat. They are extremely simple to assemble and disassemble– just unfold! There is an ingenious zippered back that you can zip up to complete the box. Each box has a flap on top so you can cover the compartments and a Velcro closure which are great if you want to leave the organizers outside of your drawer to be used as storage boxes instead. These boxes have a great design to make storing and organizing easy and simple.

They are made of a durable Oxford canvas material and are simple to wipe down and clean if need be. These make great organizers and storage containers for your bedroom and closet. The sides of the boxes have a cute flower pattern and come in three colors depending on your choice. The flap on top as well as the zippered bottom is an off-white beige color and the inside is off-white as well. I really like these organizer storage boxes, and am considering purchasing more so I can reorganize all the drawers in my house. This is a great tool for anyone who wants to keep their house and drawers neat and arranged.

Attmu Silicone Travel Bottles

My family and I do a lot of traveling. We didn’t have any silicone bottles like these to carry our lotions and face creams, etc., and we would have to make do with whatever shampoos the hotel or place we were staying out would supply us with. We’d usually just used small plastic containers to store a small our lotions and creams. I received this 3 piece silicone bottle set by Attmu for testing purposes and this is my honest and unbiased review.

These silicone travel bottles by Attmu have an ingenious design. Molded of soft silicone, the bottles are easy to squeeze. There is a suction cup on each bottle so you can stick them on your bathroom stall or the mirror above the sink for super easy access. There’s also a rotating label head around the bottle opening so you can differentiate what you put inside the bottles, whether it’s a shampoo, a lotion, or a conditioner. The cap has a leak-safe design so the product only comes out when you squeeze. The silicone squirt design allows the product to stay in the bottle without leaking into the cap.
The three bottles are all different colors and different sizes, with the largest blue bottle having a capacity of 3 oz and the smallest pink one with a capacity of 1.25 oz. All the bottles arrived in a resealable zip vinyl bag so you don’t even need to put these in another toiletry bag.

I really like the design of these silicone bottles and am considering purchasing more for all my various creams, shampoos, serums, conditioners, etc. They’re really useful for organizing your bathroom and regular toiletry items even if you don’t travel. And if you happen to be traveling, you can throw these into your toiletry bag quickly and not worry about them bursting, exploding or squirting out or make a mess in your bag.
I highly recommend getting these Silicone Travel Bottles by Attmu. 5/5 Stars

Astronomy with a Home Telescope: The Top 50 Celestial Bodies to Discover in the Night Sky by Seth Penricke

Good book aimed at beginners of astronomy but needs a bit more information and guides
This guidebook is helpful for those just getting into astronomy with a telescope. The book has a list of 50 top celestial bodies and objects to view with a telescope and the information it includes does a good job of introducing those objects. With details of visibility, descriptions, directions to find them, significance, origin, and some pop trivia, it’s a concise and not too wordy summary to get one interested without being overwhelmed. If your interest is piqued for more in-depth information and knowledge, you can always do additional research on your own at your local library or online.

20150919_120222 20150919_120239
While being aimed at those new to the world of astronomy and telescope viewing, this book falls short in the area of directions and guiding readers in finding the celestial objects. The book uses constellations as the point of reference in it’s directions. A chapter introducing all the constellations referenced in the directions with additional pictures and diagrams of the constellations would be extremely beneficial to the reader. Coordinates and more detailed directions would be helpful as well in assisting or training the new astronomer.
20150919_120258 20150919_120338
The book includes some stunning color pictures and I feel it would definitely benefit from more pictures of the celestial bodies being included in correspondence with the related chapter. Don’t get me wrong, this is a good introductory book and it gets a solid 4 stars from me, but with additional diagrams, pictures, and with more fleshed out instructions I would give this book 5 stars(Sol, Betelgeuse, Rigel, Sirius, Arcturus).

Focused: ADHD & ADD Parenting Strategies for Children with Attention Deficit Disorder by Blythe Grossberg

Great Resource About ADHD– Straightforward and Easy to Understand
This is a really informative and straightforward book that addresses the truths of ADHD and ADD. After reading through the book, I’ve learned a lot about the condition ADHD that I didn’t know before. I seriously feel that Dr. Blythe Grossberg really knows what she’s talking about from experience.
I know several people who have ADHD, but never really knew the specifics of what they go through. This book is extremely useful for any adult who deals with children and teenagers with ADHD, either as a parent, a teacher, or a child caretaker of any kind.

LOUIS MAELYS Black with Red Highlights Hair Extension

Hair extensions and wigs are pretty popular right now. They’re an inexpensive way to provide new and unique looks and give you a lot of flexibility to change your style. These particular long straight hair extensions by LOUIS MAELYS are inexpensive, fun to style, and are of decent quality. I received the long black hair that with bright red highlights(Black Highlight Red 3) for testing purposes and this is my honest and unbiased review after use.

The synthetic hair is very fine and blends quite flawlessly with natural hair (if it’s jet black to begin with). The red highlights don’t look unnatural. Rather they give your hair a unique and bright flair that is stylish yet different.

The headpiece has a line of five clips so you can attach them to your head with ease. The clips are flexible so they can sit flat on your head with no issues. With a little combing and blending, it’s not difficult to make it look like the hair is entirely your own. The transition of the black to red is pretty subtle and the extension is just short of 2 feet in length.

One thing I did notice is that the synthetic wig does get a little hot after lengthy periods. Because the hair is so fine, it gets tangled pretty easily. I suggest that you delicately comb through the hair from the bottom up to free up some of the tangles for easier styling.

The hairpiece is not uncomfortable to wear. After a while, you don’t really feel the clips against your head anymore.

I wore this extension to a casual party once and I was complimented profusely for it. No one was aware that the hair wasn’t real, and I didn’t inform them otherwise. This is a fun extension that you can use regularly or for special occasions/events. The price point is not too bad either for the quality.
