ALL NATURAL Mosquito Repellent Bracelets Review

These mosquito repellent bracelets are pretty great. We live in an area that holds a lot of water when it rains. During heated seasons like this, that brings lots of mosquitoes, we live miserably!

These don't use harsh chemicals, so they are safe to wear on your skin. They are small, thin bracelets, and they won't get in the way of your normal activities while wearing them. The scent of them is pretty nice as well, especially if you love the scent of essential oils.

These snap into place when around your wrist, and they fit mine and my children's wrists with ease. Obviously they are a bit bigger on my kids wrists than they are on mine, but they fit, nonetheless.

I am one of those that gets bitten by EVERYTHING. Fleas, Ticks, Ants, Chiggers, but ESPECIALLY mosquitoes! I don't know why, but even just a few minutes of taking the dogs out to pee, I end up with tons of bites on me. For that reason, when I got these I was excited to try!

I started keeping one by the door to wear when I go outside. I don't know if it makes any difference but when I am not wearing it, I put it in a ziplock baggie to hopefully prolong the life of it. Now when I take the dogs out, I don't get bitten nearly as much. I do still get a few bites, but not near as many as before. It's like carrying my own personal citronella candle!

I highly recommend these because they DO WORK! Plus they smell fantastic! I received these for free for the purpose of an honest review. My opinion is my own and is not influenced in any way.

Loyol Snorkeling Mask Snorkel Set Review

So my children have been asking for more pool toys. I decided to let them try this. Especially my youngest son, who wants to go underwater like his big brother, but cannot hold his breath like his siblings. Who knows, maybe someday we will finally get that vacation to the Bahamas we want, and have a REAL reason to use it!

This snorkeling set is very well made and very sturdy, so it seems. I think it will stand the test of time in my family, with lots of use.

The mask seals well to my face and the kids' faces without issue. So far, we've had no leaks when using this. It doesn't seem to fog up easily either, which is great. The straps are thick and wide and adjustable. It has 'catches' on the straps so that they will stay in place when stretched tightly to hold the mask on your face. The mask also covers your nose, so that you don't try to breath through your nose, and only the snorkel

The mouthpiece has a 'case' for when not in use, so that it doesn't get contaminated while you're not using it. The snorkel has a clip on it so that you can clip it to the strap of the facemask, to help hold it in place while using. This helps keep it from falling into the water while you're trying to breath. No one wants to inhale water!

Overall we love this snorkel set and would recommend it to anyone who is looking for one for whatever reason. It works great in our pool!

Attmu Waterproof Anti-fog UV Protection Swim Goggle for Men and Women, Review

These goggles are pretty darned amazing. When I first got them, I was worried that I wouldn't be able to see out of them very well. I was totally wrong. Even though they are mirrored on the outside, when you put them on, you can see out of them perfectly clear!

They have a super long adjustable strap, and they are double strapped. In my opinion, the double strap makes it so they stay on your head better. They 'stick' to your eyes better than any other goggles that I have worn before.

They are anti-fog, which is absolutely great. Especially if the water is a little colder. They also come with 3 nose pieces. You can make them fit pretty well with small simple adjustments. They are very comfortable when wearing them and don't pinch or cause issues.

These are very well made, and even the straps seem to be strong enough to withstand my children's constant use. I would recommend putting these back in the case they came in, when not in use and after they dry. This should help preserve them a little longer.

Overall I love these goggles and would recommend them to anyone. I received these for the purpose of an honest review, my opinions are my own and are not influenced in any way.

Attmu Beach Picnic Outdoor Blanket Mat, Blue Stripe Review

I totally love this picnic blanket, and cannot wait until it's dry outside so I can use it. This blanket is a water resistant mat, so wet grass isn't the problem. Our problem is we have standing water everywhere because of flooding, LOL... While this mat is water resistant, it doesn't float though, LOL.

This is made of Polyester and PVC and is very large (78x59 inches). It's very pretty in color as you can see in the photos. When not in use (and after it dries, if you use it on wet grass), you can fold it up and close it up. It has a velcro tab so that it will hold together when not in use. It also has a handle on the top, so that you can carry it with you as well while it is not in use. It folds up to about 6x12 inches, so it won't take up much space!

You can pretty much use this everywhere.  Picnics, Concerts, Ball Games, in the bleachers, cover your vehicle seats from muddy children or animals... If it gets dirty, you can just hose it off, let it dry, and fold it up. I will never leave home without this blanket again.

Because this is made of Plyester and PVC, it will attract heat in the sunlight, just like any other plastic type material. So if you are using this in a very sunny place, I would suggest tossing a soft blanket, or a couple towels down on top of it so you don't have to deal with the heat.

Overall this is an amazing picnic blanket and I would recommend this to anyone.

Mega Mesh Premium Magnetic Screen Door

My husband and I moved into a new place last year. We didn’t realize when we moved, that we didn’t have screens on the windows, or doors. It’s a trailer house, and anyone who’s ever lived in one, know how the doors fall apart as well. The front door is in shambles, so we use the back door. We also have two very large dogs, so we can’t just open the door or window without screens. They’d be GONE chasing bunnies.
We decided we wanted to give a magnetic door a try. I know that the dogs can push through the bottom of them, but they are well trained, and if we keep them away from the door, or even safety pin the bottom of the door, where they can’t open it, we thought it might work.
I was sadly disappointed. I am sure this door is a great concept. However, for the life of us we COULD NOT get it to stick to the door. If we owned this place, we would have used staples or nails and done so. However, we don’t. Every time we THOUGHT we had it up. It would fall down. Unfortunately, because of this, I couldn’t tell how well it would work for us. I have walked through them at a friends house, so I know how they work.
The ones I have been through (obviously not my own since it wouldn’t stay up), actually work decent. They aren’t perfect. No one expects them to be. They open easy if you have full hands. They KIND OF fall back together like they are supposed to, but it only takes a second to fix it if it doesn’t. This keeps the bugs out while allowing air to come in. If you have animals that you let come in and out of the house, they can go and come as they please, as they can just walk through the door. I really wish ours would stay up.
Overall, the concept is great, and if you can find a door frame that it will stay up in, that’s fantastic, you will love it.
