#Review of iPad Pro 12.9 inches Wireless Bluetooth #Keyboard



Again a big thanks to Tomoson and zhiaihuisz for providing this product at a discount cost and for review.

This one I kinda messed up on. I don't know what I was thinking. lol.  Its been a long week.  I thought this was for the normal size iPad not the new giant pro. So although I do not have a pro I think I can still give a really good review of this product.

Ok so as for the case its pretty light weight and seems very sturdy.  The magnetic closer could use a little more power but other than that it closes and works well.

Keyboard.  As for the keyboard its NICE!  For this product being inexpensive vs. other blue tooth keyboards out there this one is great.  It pairs very quickly and even will auto repair if you turn the keyboard off.  It is not attached to the case which I loved that!  So even if you have another case you wish to use this with you CAN!  Most of the other keyboards ive seen do not do that.  So that is a def plus!

If your looking for a nice looking blue tooth keyboard for a little money then you can't go wrong with this one!

#Review of CTA Digital Magnetic Wall Mount for Tablets #CTAPADMWM



Thanks to Tomoson and Gat Accessories the opportunity to review this item! 

I have to say that I really do love this item!  Its going to work out really well in our bedroom where it can be mounted to the wall and we can sit and enjoy movies etc without having to hold the iPad and without it having to be slanted.  I really wish that the padding would have been velcro or if it would have come with extra ones.  But this is a very nice item! And would work well for those who cook as well as those who just need to have their tablet on the wall out of the way while they work. 
I received this item at no charge.  "All opinions are 100% honest and my own."

TMI Tuesday!

Ok so we all do them. Ok some of us do them. Kegels!  If you don't know what they are then you are to young to be reading this post.  

Here is a quick description of what they are. 

pelvic floor exercise, more commonly called a Kegel exercise (named after Dr. Arnold Kegel), consists of repeatedly contracting and relaxing the muscles that form part of the pelvic floor, now sometimes colloquially referred to as the "Kegel muscles".

The reason you do these is as you get older and if you pick up heavy things your muscles in your pelvic region are no longer as tight as they were when you were like 12.  So doing these exercises can help you if you are like me.  

Ive had two kids and now I have a bad bladder. and it really isn't my bladders fault.  Its really those pelvis muscles telling me Jess your getting old.  Deal with it.  Well I'm not going to deal with it.  

On the recommendation of a friend of mine I decided to buy these. 



 Now I know what you are thinking.  Jessica are you CRAZY OUR OF YOUR MIND? Nope I'm not.  So these things have a ball inside of the well balls.  And as you move around all day. Walking and such.  They make your pelvic muscles contract to do better more efficient Kegels.  So how did they work for me?  

I LOVE them.  They were a little weird to use at first especially sitting down.  But after you get used to them. They are great.  I have been using them for a week now and I don't have to pee so much lol.  

So there is my TMI for today! 

So what TMI subject do you want to know about?  Comment below and ill answer one next Tuesday!  

Remember no topic is off limits.  As long as it isn't to far out there.

Soy Candles by Diamond Candles






Ok so these get a C.  The candles are GREAT! They smell really good and they burn for a good while.  Ive been burning my one called Chocolate Truffle for the past three days.

Our Chocolate Truffle is a creamy, sweet blend of chocolate, not over powering or artificial, but will leave your mouth watering and wanting more.




This candle smells so much like chocolate you will start to crave cake! 








The other one I have is called Pumkin something.  They don't have it on their site right now so I can't find it out! But it smell wonderful as well.  


These candles I give an A but the Rings that are in them.  Yep I said RINGS.  In every candle you will get a crapy ring.  Its not gold or silver.  They say on their site that the rings are worth $10-$5,000 but I took both rings to 10 different Pawn shops and jewelry shops and they all said that they were fake and not even worth $2.00.  


I wish they had these candles for sale without the rings in them and they can deduct $10.00 from each candle if you don't want the ring.  I would buy a ton of them. Anyway you can buy one candle for $24.95 plus shipping or you can buy a collection of them which run from $120.00 - $124.75  give or take.

TMI Tuesdays

So I wanted something different and I came up with this last night.  So my TMI for this Tuesday is.  

Being a woman have you ever put on your pad wrong?  

Well yesterday I did.  I had gotten undressed to take a shower then decided to just do it later and put my clothes back on.  Well I did it in the dark. Which was a BIG mistake.  I put my undies on wrong side out so my pad was on the OTHER side and not on me.  So I was really lucky that my cycle this month is almost over.  Or that would have been a REALLY BIG mess.  

So has this happened to anyone else?  

Comment and win 1 FREE box of your choice!  

BTW!  I love these pads. When I put them on right.  They have a scent so thats great.  And it isn't over bearing.  Its just enough to get rid of that iron smell.  

So these are also under the Products I LOVE! 

Viggle

Ok so you have probably noticed the above symbol on my side bar. With the other social links.  And you are trying to figure out what it is??

Well Its an app for your iPhone. If you watch tv you should use this app.  You check into your shows and get points for watching them.  Then you can redeem those points for nice things like a MacBook Air.  (Which is what I'm saving for)!!

If you sign up by clicking that button.  I will get extra points for referring you as a friend.  So PLEASE join!

Mongolian Grill



Grade- B
Mongolian Grill
1474 Town Center Dr. 
Lakeland, Fl 33803
(863) 688-3777

This place is also near the movie theater. And if you love stir-fry then
this place is for you! The only issue I have had with them and why they
get a B is because Ive had issues with price changes and bowl sizes for
the kids. But, other than that the food is great! 


Pizza Valdiano







Grade- A
Pizza Valdiano 
Lakeside Village
1610 Towne Center Drive
Lakeland, Fl 33803
(863) 686-3730


This place is a wonder pizza place to eat. With it right next door to the
Cobb Theater. It makes it a great place to grab a bit to eat before a movie.  

The Indigo Crescent


Grade- F


The Indigo Crescent 
600 s. Combee rd. 
Lakeland, FL 33801
(863) 412-6587

So there are not many pagan stores in Polk County, Florida.  But we do
 have one and it gets an F for my rating.  

The Indigo Crescent inside of what was once called the Second Hand Rose.
Is a failure for a store.  There is no one there if you need help and they have
 a sign that says no on under the age of 18 is allowed in that area, yet they
hide it where no one will see it.  (good way to get around the rule) 

Book Bazaar




Grade- D

Book Bazaar
2120 S. Combee Rd. 
Lakeland, Fl 33801

Ok so the issue with this place is that they sell some books for CASH ONLY.
 Which is really fine.  BUT, when I take in a book to sell for trade and they
will be marking it for CASH ONLY I expect to be able to get a CASH ONLY
book in return.  Yet, you can't do that. So right now at this moment I have
around $80.00 in trade that I have to wait around for books to not be cash
only. So I can use it. 


Book Traders and More, INC.




Update- July 28th
Well I went in to the store after not going anywhere for almost two weeks due to a cold.  And I found out that the store was sold once again.  It is now owed by a husband and wife team.  They seem to be a little over whelmed. But I think they can handle it.  They have some really great ideas on how to make our local used bookstore even better!  I cant wait to see what they have in store for this shop.


Grade A


Book Traders and More, INC.
41  3rd st. NW
Winter Haven, Fl 33881

This bookstore was just sold to a sister duo. And well although they
are just starting out with a bookstore. They have done an AMAZING JOB
 on getting this store to look so much better than those who had it before.
 With books on everything you could think of they are wonderful people
who will help you find what you are looking for.  And when you trade a
book to them you can get ANY book you want in return.

Say YES!






So first off I am NOT being paid to say this.  I wanted to make sure that you guys knew that.  
Ok so I have tried everything I could think of.  



Proactiv just broke my skin out more and made my face all red.  I was told when I took it back that I was more than likely allergic to it. So my search went on.










St. Ives apricot scrub was even worse.  It broke me out so bad and not just my face.  Anywhere it touched me I broke out. When I found out I was pregnant with Anarece the doctor tested me for Murser (so not spelled right).  But its a bacteria that lives on the skin.  I was like great ill have that use some special soap and all the acne will go away.  Ya not so much! I was just WAY allergic to this.  :((







So next was some of the stuff from Neutrogena.  This first one just didn't work and left my face oily even though it says oil free.














Then I decided to try this one. Also from Neutrogena. And well it did around the same as the above. It left my face oily after I washed it. And just didn't work.













So on a trip to Target I found this.  I first tried the face washes which I'm always on the look out for good ones that don't smell bad and really clean my face of sweat instead of always being to remove makeup.  Well after falling in love with the washes which are also for acne.  I decided to try this.  And I've been using it for almost a week and just had to tell you guys about it.  My acne is way down now and really almost gone!  Cant beat that!  Even Proactiv says its take a full two months for good results. 


My face feels clean instead of oily and well I love the smell of all this stuff.  They have body scrub that I'm going to try once I can buy it.  Target didn't have it so ill have to order it.  This system is $19.99 from Target and the washes are $7.99 so around the same cost as everything else.  The nice thing about this company is that EVERYTHING is Crunch Free which means is Cruelty Free. 











So say YES I did and now my skin has never felt better!!


PS. Make sure you check reviews on Amazon or some other place.  Because I posted a bad review of the Blueberry facial towels and this is what I got back.

I had posted that I puchsased them from Target since they were on sale and they didnt have the Tomato ones.  Well they all went back to the store shortly afterwards.  As the smell was so bad it gave us all headaches.
