5 Stars: ORBLUE Fine Mesh Nut Milk Food Strainer Bag

I bought the ORBLUE Fine Mesh Nut Milk Food Strainer Bag from Amazon to use in cheese making.  I received this bag at a discount for my honest review.  I am under no obligation to review this product positively or negatively.

I started making cheeses of all sorts about 3 years ago.  I have always loved cheese and figured why not try to make my own.  It fit in well with my goal of living a DIY life.  My favorite cheeses to make are cheddar and cream cheese.  I bought this strainer back to drain the whey from my cheese during the first steps on the making process.  Before this bag, I used cheese cloth.  Cheese cloth worked okay, but it was just a large rectangle of fabric with large holes.  I had to fold the cloth over twice and be very careful about tying it up so the cheese wouldn't fall out into the sink when I left it to drain overnight.  

 This bag is a perfect replacement and works so much better.  The bag has a much finer mesh than cheese cloth, but not so fine that the whey can't drain out.  


The bag is double-stitched so it can take the weight of the over 2 pounds of mixture that gets put in when I'm draining whey.  There is a drawstring on the top, so I can ensure that the bag is closed securely.


Like I said before, the bag holds a lot.  The bag measures 12 inches by 12 inches.

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)

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.

5 Stars: Ovulation Test Strips and Pregnancy Test Kit - 50 LH and 20 HCG - OPK Ovulation Predictor Kit iProven FK-127

Image
My husband and I have been trying to conceive (TTC) for over a year now.  This kit by iProven is a great "starter kit" for those trying to conceive.  Buying the tests at the store can start to get really expensive.  This kit is is $21.20 on Amazon right now.   This one has 50 ovulation prediction tests (OPKs) which can last a couple of months.  I usually use somewhere between 8 and 10 a month.  It also has 20 pregnancy tests which again should last a couple of month.  My usually on these is about 5 a month.   The pregnancy tests are blue dye tests which my doctor told me seem to be more accurate with less false positives than pink dye tests.  (This refers to the color of the dye that makes the lines on the test.)  It all also comes in a nice box to keep them organized.  Other brands I have bought came in envelopes of plastic bags. I have to say the best feature of this kit is the literature that is included. ...

5 Stars: Aya Natural Shaving Soap & After Shave Cream Set - Premium Natural Vegan Shave Soap 3.4 oz & Skin Relaxation Creme 1.7 oz - Shea, Olive, Jojoba, Avocado and Almond Oils Blend Kit

Since I've started going all-natural, shaving is one of the areas that I've been exploring.  When I have the time, I sugar my legs, but sometimes I'm too busy or tired to sugar.  On these days, I shave using a traditional razor and shave gel.  I hate using the aerosols because the aren't recyclable and they are full of crazy chemicals.  I saw this shave soap set and thought, why not?  It was a good chance to take. I have used Aya Naturals lotions before and loved it.  This soap set was no exception.  The soap smells like olive oil.  It suds up very easily and felt silky and luxurious on my skin.  My razor glided smoothly over my legs and helped me get a really close shave. The after shave lotion had a smooth consistency and a delicate scent.  I used it on my bikini area where I get razor burn frequently.  This lotion soothed the area and soaked in quickly.  It didn't feel greasy or oily and the scent...
