5 Stars: Dimore Large Tartan Checked Plaid Scarf Shawl for Womens (A-khaki)

Recently I've joined the fad of wearing scarves all day, even if it's not cold out.  I bought this scarf because I loved the pattern and the versatility in the pictures and description on amazon.  It was listed at $12.99 but was on sale for $3.99 so I figured I'd give it a try.  I don't have a really good full-length mirror so this was the best I could do. :)


The scarf is super soft.  It felt like petting a rabbit.  There isn't a tag with what material it is made of, but another reviewer said they thought it was acrylic.  That would make sense for the price and the softness. According to the package, it is hand wash only.


 It has a fashionable tartan pattern of red, black, white, tan and green so it will match most anything.  Because of the weaving method, the scarf can be worn with either side out.

The scarf is really large (the pic below is it handing on the back of my husband's recliner).  Because of it's size, it can be worn many different ways and can even serve as a lap blanket.


The scarf is very warm.  Since I live in central Texas, this scarf is a bit warm for here.  In our coldest years, we only have 10 to 15 days a year that are below freezing.  This scarf would be better fitted for someplace much colder.  I'll probably give this to one of the local nursing homes for someone to use as a lap blanket because it is too warm for me.

4 Stars: Clinical Basal Thermometer - BBT-113Ai by iProvèn - ACCURATE 1/100th Degree, Highly SENSITIVE, Perfect Companion for Family Planning

Image
My husband and I are trying to conceive so the doctor asked me to start tracking my BBT (Basal Body Temperature). This thermometer from iProven reads to the hundreds of a degree (out to 2 decimal points). This thermometer worked great for me. It takes a little longer than a regular thermometer (about 2 minutes as compared to 1 minute) but this is so that here is a more accurate reading. Another reviewer complained that it took a long time, but the company mentions that and the reasoning in the listing.  The thermometer comes with a case. The one thing I would change is to make the screen back-lit. To get the most accurate reading, you are supposed take your temperature before getting out of bed. This means its dark in my room when I take my temp. It makes it very difficult to read the thermometer without the back light. It does remember the last temperature taken so I can come back later and record the temp when I have the light on. I received this product at a discoun

5 Stars: Boomile Solar String Lights 8 Modes 100LED 33ft Copper Wire Lights Waterproof Starry Fairy String Lights Ambiance Lighting for Outdoor Landscape Patio Garden Christmas Wedding (warm white)

Image
I bought these lights to put in my yard so that there was light, but I didn't want extension cords across the yard.  These lights are about 30 feet long.  They are $10.99 on Amazon . The unlighted part of the power cord is about 80 inches long or almost 7 feet long.  This made is easy to run the lights up the tree trunk.   The lights have 8 different modes.  My favorite is the slow fade one.  Another nice feature is that the lights have a sensor to turn on when it gets dark and turn off when it gets light.  I don't have to go turn them on or off all the time.   These would also work great in the fairy light jars that are so popular right now and since they don't require being plugged in, the jar can sit anywhere there is ambient light to charge them. I received this product for free for my honest opinion.

4 Stars: Dermatique Purifying Black Mask - Peel-Off Mask - Activated Charcoal, Deep Pore Cleanse for Acne, Oil Control, and Anti-Aging Wrinkle Reduction

Image
After watching a lot of videos about how great the black mask is, I thought I'd give it a try.  I found this one from Dermatique on Amazon and it was listed at a best seller.   It was very easy to apply.  The consistency is like white school glue.   I didn't put on as a thick a layer as many of the videos I watched because the instructions said a thin layer.   My skin felt so soft afterwards.  I know some people have reported that it hurt to remove the mask, but I didn't find it horrible.  It hurt a lot less than waxing. I have sensitive skin.  As you can see in my pictures, my face was red in the areas where the mask was.  It wasn't itching, swollen and I didn't get hives so I'm assuming that it was red because of the pulling off process.  Since it does pull, I would suggest avoiding areas with thin skin (especially in us ladies over 30) like around the eyes.  Also, try to avoid getting in your hair.  I got some in my eyebrows and it was diffi
