Secure Cabinets, Toilet Seats, & More #MommyTLC.






 


These are just what I've been looking for.
by MommyTLC 
Not only are these great for child proofing but
for pet proofing too! 
                             
I've been looking for a way to secure my under
the sink cabinet from my nosy trash getting dog.
~ The culprit ~
Don't let that smile fool you!
I've tried a multitude of things to keep her out
 (rubber bands, rope, other kid locks, a chair, a tall trash
can that she just knocks over, etc.) I hate coming home to what looks like a trash heap after she's dragged it all out.
We currently keep our trash bag in the sink, yeh,
not the most convenient or sanitary place.
I'm excited to say, so far so good!!
No trash drug out, yippee!!

Built in adhesive makes installation
and removal easy, no tools needed.
 
Be sure to thoroughly clean the area
 and let dry thoroughly,
 so you can get the best adhesion possible.
I'm keeping the other one for my granddaughter
for when she gets older and mobile.
I plan on purchasing more.
These work on cabinets, drawers, appliances,
 even corner cabinets, fridge
and toilet seat with their bendable strap.

 
They have a simple flip and click technology that 
opens on either end for your convenience.
Easy operation for adults but not for children. 
Multi Purpose Safety Latches are
available on Amazon.
 I received one or more of the products mentioned above for free or a
discounted  price from Mommy TLC . 
Regardless, I only recommend products or services I use personally
 and believe will be good for my readers.

Beautiful Teardrop Aromatherapy Diffuser Locket #TeardropNecklace



by Cornucopia Brands
First I must say I love the antique teardrop design necklace.
Very feminine.
I love filigree so this was right up my alley.
The locket acts as a regular locket,
open it, place an absorbent diffuser ball inside,
then add a few drops of your favorite essential oils or blends.
Several diffuser balls are included in different colors so you can wear different oils without mixing up the fragrances!
Such a great idea!

An attractive way to wear your healing and
fragrances of essential oils anywhere you go.
It's even charming as is, without any oils.

I only added a few drops of Lavender Essential Oil to try it out
and was pleasantly surprised at how long the fragrance lasted.
The diffuser ball soaked the oil right in, very absorbent.


This kit comes with pipettes for your essential oils
in case your bottles do not have droppers. 
The chain is high quality and very attractive.
It doesn't kink as some lesser quality ones do.
It's slinky on your skin and conforms easily to your contours.
The  Teardrop Aromatherapy Diffuser Locket kit
comes with:
 1 complete aromatherapy diffuser necklace,
chain, 
4 pipettes,  
4 extra diffuser locket balls,
(as to allow for the option for a different interior color, while also adding different oils without unintentional mixing.)   
  
Teardrop Aromatherapy Diffuser Locket kit is
available on Amazon.

8 Laundry Hacks to Make Life Easier

If there’s one task in this world that everyone loves to hate, it’s laundry. There’s simply no escaping it. Or is there? Check out these 8 easy ways to put an end to the never-ending cycle of, well, never-ending cycles.
 
1. Presort by Color and Material - Why dig through dirty hampers to find like colors when you can just do the work right from the get-go? Buy an extra hamper or two for easy sorting and save those few precious minutes for something more enjoyable.



 2. Wash Items Faster – If you’ve ever wondered what the
Quick Wash setting on your washer was for, you’re overthinking it. It does exactly what it sounds like. Assuming your clothes aren’t caked in dirt, try the Quick Wash option and you can cut your time by as much as half.

3. Dry Items Faster – Turns out there’s a trick for this one as well. Next time you throw a load in the dryer, add in a nice, dry,
fluffy towel and watch it do what a towel does best.


 
4. Eliminate Lint Balls – Is your sweater suffering from a lint-festation? No worries. Just use a
pumice stone to rub them loose, then let a lint roller pick ‘em right up. 



 5. Work out the Wrinkles – You know what makes a great iron? A dryer. Just throw in a small, wet towel with your dry, wrinkled item and it should be wrinkle-free in no more than a few minutes.

6. Ironing Pleats – Have some nice, pleated slacks that are not-so-nice to iron? Try using
bobby pins to hold the pleats in place. Talk about simplicity!

7. Un-shrink Clothes – It may sound like magic, but we assure you this one’s for real. Just fill up a sink of lukewarm water, pour in a capful of baby shampoo and let the garment soak it in for about five minutes. After removing, squeeze out the excess water but do NOT rinse it. Next, lay out the garment on a dry beach towel and roll it up inside to soak up even more. Then, on a new towel, lay the garment out once again, but this time, stretch the loose fibers until they’re officially back to their
original size and shape.



8. Comforter Cleaning – Most comforters are WAY too big to fit in your washer or dryer. Fortunately, you can always head to a Laundromat, the dry cleaner, or simply air it out on a clothing line.
 

  While none of these tips will get you completely out of laundry duty, they sure can come in handy. Give ‘em a try this week and start freeing up time to enjoy the better things in life – like just about anything else.

Keeping Your Stroller Organized! #savvybaby




 There never seems to be a way to juggle everything
you need when going out with the baby.
SavvyBaby Stroller Organizer is ingenious!

I wish this was around when my kiddos were little.
I'm just glad it's here for my children to use. 
It is available in black or zig zag and fits most strollers.
We have the black which is pretty sleek looking.
Being made of soft neoprene fabric means
it's easy to wipe clean and folds with the stroller.

The main storage compartment is deep and
divided nicely into 3 sections,
2 of which can be used as drink holders.
The organizer is well insulted keeping
drinks and/or bottles cold or warm.
Lots of room to hold plenty of needfuls -
keys, toys, snacks, whatever. 

 There is a zip off wallet/cell phone pouch
for any valuables you may need.
In case you need to park your stroller,
zipping off the pouch allows you to easily and
quickly bring valuables with you.




It even has a small opening you can thread
your earbuds through and a  
convenient wrist strap.

The cute polka dot toy/snack/drink leash that
is included is so cute.
Very handy to have the current favorite toy
tethered to the stroller so it won't get lost.
Awesome for pacifiers!

 This organizer was packaged pleasingly and
I was very impressed at how well it is made.
I feel there was a lot of thought and effort put into
 the making and designing of this organizer.  



SavvyBaby Stroller Organizer is
available on Amazon.

I received one or more of the products mentioned above for free or a discounted  price from La Lune Naturals
 Regardless, I only recommend products or services I use personally and believe will be good for my readers.

Whiten Your Teeth Professionally at Home #smartsmile



It seems everyone is seeking bright white teeth to achieve that gleaming Hollywood smile. So many things we eat and drink can stain our teeth. Expensive toothpastes and polishes, which in some cases actually erode and damage the enamel surface of the teeth can do more harm than good. Expensive bleach kits, not to mention professional dentists using powerful ultraviolet light is costly and time consuming. 

  
I have used teeth whitening strips.
I didn't notice that much of a difference and the slime they left wasn't the most pleasant.
I haven't tried any "tray kits" 
Not that I haven't been intrigued, but concerned regarding whether they actually worked or not for their price. I have sensitive teeth, and although the strips didn't bother me it seems the trays would be stronger, which made me nervous to try them.


 I was asked to review
 and I have to admit I was excited to try them. 


This kit comes with whitening gel, applicator syringes and mouth trays to whiten your teeth. Simply apply the included gel to the mouth trays and apply to your teeth for between 5 and 15 minutes each day.

You need to fit the trays to your specific teeth,
 you do so by placing them in very hot water for several seconds then place in mouth. It was not uncomfortable, I sucked out the extra water and air and they formed to my teeth with no problems. The directions are easy to follow.
Each tray has a tab, I was concerned with getting
 them mixed up so I marked them by putting
 a T on the top one and a B on the bottom.


The only thing I had difficulty with was
 the amount to put in the tray.
The directions say to add .05cc to the tray.
The syringes have ml measurements.
With Math not being my strong suit
I looked up the conversion on the net.
Well, the egg in on my face, they equal the same.

I feel they need to have the same measurements
on the syringes as in the directions.
It would certainly avoid any confusion.


I left them in for 15 minutes while I checked my email,
with no ill effects. I could feel the gel bubbling,
 I suspect it was the peroxide.

After taking them out, I rinsed my mouth
and it was left feeling fresh. 

I did the treatment for 3 days in a row.
I noticed some sensitivity on my gums,
so I took a few days off.


You can see they have whitened.
I plan to continue using them after my gums feel better.
 


Key features include:
-Uses dentist-grade professional whitening gel.
-Includes applicator syringes, top and bottom mouth trays, and whitening gel.
-Thermoform trays are adaptable to fit a range of mouth sizes; simply submerge in warm water and fit to your teeth.
-Easy to use; simply apply gel to trays and insert for between 5 and 15 minutes each day.
-Contains 35% carbamide peroxide gel for fast whitening.
-Begins whitening from first treatment, and whitens a few shades within days.
-No sour after taste
-30-day money back guarantee no questions asked
