Zeuste Phone Holder for Dashboard and Windshield

I purchased this from Amazon at a discount. Here is the link if you are interested:



I drive for Uber/Lyft and the phone holder I was previously using has worn completely out to the point where I have to rig it just to get the phone into...too much work. This new and improved phone holder from Zeuste is a great upgrade and even helps my posture a bit. It doesn't sit flush against my window like my old one, which required me to get super close to it to use. The Zeuste allow it to extend out a great deal from the window and pivot like I never could before. It doesn't shake at all when I am driving, which is a great thing. My phone sits snug in the brackets and do not come sliding out. There are feet at the bottom of it that the phone rest on to keep it from sliding up and down, which is a great help when trying to navigate. The quality is great, hard plastic and a smooth surface. Obviously I can't take a photo of it with the phone inside but check out the photos below.

Where in the world were strollers like this when I was growing up? Man!! The most I had was an old umbrella stroller that I ended up flailing around because it was too light and my baby doll wouldn't sit still LOL! Whatever 80s & 90s! I purchased this doll stroller for my niece who just made her first birthday but it getting pretty tall. The quality of this doll stroller is great. Made with hard plastic and very easy to assemble. The way it comes in the box, it is folded and you just unfold and put the wheels on and the tray. Everything just snaps on and there is no need for any tools. I am not sure why it is called a boy doll stroller, as it can be used by any child that just wants to play with a stroller with their toys and dolls. Maybe it's the blue color? Nonetheless, she will have this stroller as well as another one that I got for her. I really hope she likes it and doesn't try to sit in it LOL! She isn't a small one year old so I'm sure she will try...for whatever reason. Kids!

Natalie Styx Purple Flat Iron Hair Straighteners – 1.5 Inch Tourmaline Ceramic PTC Fast Heating Plates and Digital LCD Display

I have been on the hunt for a bigger flat iron that can get as close to my scalp as possible. Imagine my shock when I came across this flat iron. The size of this flat iron is bigger than the average, which is somewhere around half to one full inch. This flat iron is 1.5 inches and covers more hair than any iron I've ever purchased on Amazon. It heats up to around 440 degrees. It comes with it's own carrying bag, two hair clips, a glove, and an instruction booklet. It is a very simple flat iron to use. I love the color, light purple that I purchased. It matches my new blow dryer perfectly. The one thing that I was hoping it had was an auto-shut off option because us women are usually in a rush and running out of the house in the morning and no one wants to worry all day if their house will catch fire because they forgot the flat iron on...right?

                UTILYZE 10-in-1 Professional Electric Manicure & Pedicure Set


Ever since my 32nd birthday when I decided to learn on my own how to do my own nails with acrylic and whatnot, I have been obsessed with nail drills and the like. This nail manicure and pedicure set is just what I wanted and needed to do my own pedicure, mostly. While I already have a nail drill that I've been using, this one's bits are much bigger than my little bits (ha!) and I can dedicate this set to doing pedicures. 

Instead of letting my feet soak first, I take off the nail polish first and then scrub the bottom of my feet with the electric callus remover to get rid of all the dead skin that I can see dry. Then I soak my feet in some tea tree soak that I purchased and let it soak in hot water (not scorching hot but as hot as I can stand it...which is nearing scorching hot lol) for about 15-20 minutes. Then I use a cuticle pusher to push back my cuticles to get the dead skin from under and on top of my toes, rinse, and repeat until I see no more dead skin. I then use a foot scrub with beads and do that for about a minute on each foot then rinse. Next, I use a pumice stone and scrub under my feet for about 2 minutes each foot, rinse, and repeat. Yes, I realize my pedicures are hours long but dammit I like soft, clean feet. 

At this point, I start with this nail drill. I pat dry my feet and begin to use the sapphire callus sander bit on top of my toes to get rid of the ridges on top. I don't do this long but enough to smooth the surface. Once it is to my desired smoothness, I use the felt polishing cone to get that natural shine. I put on a base coat of polish and let that dry for about 5 minutes and then apply lotion to my feet and I am done. I haven't had a use for all the bits just yet but I am sure with time, I will. Check out the pictures below to see what all comes with!

My experience

We are trying to conceive and have been trying to conceive for a while now. While I do have some issues that I need to get straightened out, I do monitor if and when I ovulate each month. The ovulation tests are pretty sensitive and accurate, as I do get the dark line when I have ovulated and a light line when I am nearing or at the end of ovulation as well as no line when I know I am nowhere near ovulation. The pregnancy tests are the same, as I tried one out on a friend who is pregnant and on myself and the line was dark on my pregnant friend. Great quality tests and best to buy in bulk if you are also trying to conceive, as OPK on the shelf cost a fortune in store. These work! Get them!
