What I say:

When they first started making silicone baking items I was not convinced, wouldn't buy them, didn't believe they would hold up in the oven.  I never actually tried any silicone baking items until I started doing reviews, and when this came up it sounded so cool and I don't have a baking mat! I had some blueberry muffins to make and another review for some silicone baking cups so I combined the two. I sat it on my cookie sheet, even though you CAN put this mat right on the oven rack, microwave, dishwasher - whatever you want it holds up.  But I knew with the baking cups I would drop them so I used the cookie sheet.

I put the cups on the little circles on the baking mat - it's great because they are perfectly sized to help you make cookies and know exactly where to put them so they don't run together and how far apart they will be.  The mat also has a ruler that runs around the entire edge, so you can use that for different things as well.  We got the baking cups on the mat and stuck it in the preheated oven.  This item DOES recommend that you only put it in a preheated oven.  Now I am one of those people who gets batter all over the pan and normally with the cookie sheets and cupcake pans it takes a lot of scraping to get that burned batter off of the sheet.  After the timer went off, we got them out of the oven and I took all the cups off the mat and there was my "leftover burned batter".  I thought "Oh great, this is going to stick."  Nope. I literally slid it right off of the mat. I was amazed.  There were no burn marks on it like you get on metal sheets, and it was in perfect condition.  I let it cool, ran it under the water to wash it off and dried it.

There is absolutely nothing that is not great about this mat, and if you have not tried something like this you NEED to because it will change the way you bake.

The Simple Baker Silicone Baking Cups | Review

What they say:

SAFE & EASY TO USE! The Simple Baker Silicone Baking Cup set of 24 pieces fits perfectly into existing cupcake baking pans or you can simply place them directly onto a baking pan. There is no need for using greasy cooking sprays or wasting paper wrappers - just place them on the tray and they are ready to go! Your baked good will remove easily from these BPA free silicone baking cups!

MAKE BAKING FUN! The set comes with 6 vibrant colors - pink, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple - 4 cups of each color (24 total!). These cups are heat resistant to 475°. Each cup measures 2-5/8 inch diameter x 1.25 inch tall and holds 2.5 fluid ounces.

ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY! Our reusable silicone baking cups are BPA Free and made with eco-friendly silicone. You will no longer have to waste paper wrappers and you can save money as well!

What I say:

We were sent these cups for review. To test them, we mixed up a batch of muffin batter and baked a third of the batter in the silicone cups (half sitting in a muffin tin, half set on a baking sheet), a third in paper cups and a third in a muffin tin sprayed with nonstick cooking spray. The differences in the muffins were small but significant.

Muffins baked without any liners had nicely browned sides and undersides.

Muffins baked with paper liners were similarly browned, but much of the brown crust was lost when the paper was peeled away.

Muffins baked in the silicone cups were the least browned and crusty. Muffins in the silicone cups on the baking sheet took as long as the others to bake through. In the muffin tins, the muffins in silicone cups took a minute or two longer than the muffins in paper liners and the muffins without liners, presumably because of the insulating effect of the silicone.

Pros: The cups are cute and colorful. The muffins popped right out, quickly and cleanly, leaving just a few crumbs behind. The ridged sides give muffins and cupcakes a classic look, but these ridges aren’t too deep, making the cups easy to clean. Stacked in a clear container, they take up less space than a 12-cup muffin tin and can be used on a baking sheet without a muffin pan, saving space in small kitchens.

Kitchen Grinder Set by bobu cuisine | Review

One of the staples you must  have in your kitchen is the salt and pepper shaker.  I mean, what kitchen doesn't have at least one set.  You may be surprised, but all I had in my kitchen was a salt shaker (very small glass one) and a pepper that you buy from the store...in it's original box.  I know, pitiful, but I was so thrilled when I was chosen by Webgage Commerce to receive this awesome Kitchen Grinder Set by bobu cuisine. This awesome grinder set is actually bigger than what the photo shows, which made me even happier to receive this.  This grinder set holds peppercorns and sea salt, that you can actually grind to get fresh pepper and salt.  The Kitchen Grinder set is 8x8x12.5cm and displays glass sphere shakers with a black and white theme.  The set has a built in ceramic grinder mechanism that allows you to control the coarseness of the salt and pepper.

What I love about these shakers, are that they are so unique and cute looking!  I love the round sphere look and these would make an EXCELLENT gift!  After receiving these and using them, I am now thinking about ordering another set as a gift.

I know what you are thinking...they're only salt and pepper shakers.  But they are so CUTE! And, I love the idea of having fresh salt and pepper that you grind yourself.  And let me tell you, these grinder sets were very easy to fill, operate and grind.  They seem very sturdy and not like some cheap grinder sets that you may have purchased in the past.

Magnetic Screen Door | Review

Bugs are a huge part of life in Central Florida and we are always looking for ways to win the war against them. This is a winner! We have 2 indoor cats that are allowed outside. On pretty days we like to leave the door open so they can go in and out as they please. (Which is often, trust me!) The only drawback was the insects that took that open door as an invitation and were constantly invading our space! I swear for every fly I swatted, 3 more appeared! It was a never ending battle and the bugs were winning….not anymore! Every since we installed this amazing screen door from I Got Tech we have hardly seen an insect inside. Sure there are still a few that magically sneak in when we are going in and out through another door but they are few and far between now. This screen is fantastic and it has plenty of magnets so it closes very quickly and very tightly! Installation was super easy. The whole thing took less than 10 minutes and  it was a breeze to put up.

The finished product looks great and works even better!  The cats took a little bit of time to get used to it but within a few minutes they had it figured out. One of them will just run through it as fast as he can and the other uses his paw to open it and then just walks through.  It was actually sort of cute to watch them figure it out and they love it now. I’m sure it’s nice for them to be able to come and go as they please now instead of having to get our attention and let them out. The only issue we had was that our doors are painted metal not wood,  so when coming back inside the magnets on the screen tend to stick to the door itself instead of joining together. No big deal though as long as we watch for it.  It only take a simple push to get it right back where it needs to be.  I am now planning on getting one for the front door too.  I think it would be nice to have one in front and one in back so we could really get some air flow.  Now that bugs are not an issue that is.

Adeline Hyaluronic Acid Serum | Review

I love using this Hyaluronic Acid on my skin, I am a believer & will never go back to not using it. The dramatic changes in my skin are amazing. I have recommended this Adeline Hyaluronic Acid to my friends. 

The gel has a lovely cool feeling and a mild scent.One drops goes a long way, so pump out a little at a time. It absorbs fast and leaves my skin hydrated, soft and glowing. Hyaluronic Acid is amazing at healing & reversing damage of skin, even sun spots & discoloration. The results are amazing. I use the Adeline Eye Serum right after using this, then the moisturizer cream on my face after they dry into my skin for a great combo.

Easy@Home 50 Ovulation (LH) and 20 Pregnancy (HCG) Tests product | Review

My husband and I have three kids but it wasn’t always easy for us to conceive. It took 9 years to conceive after our second child. After our third child was born, I got pregnant twice, both ending in miscarriage and now desperate for just one more, we are having a little difficulty trying to get pregnant again. It's just not happening. So we tried using ovulation tests to help us figure out the best times to try to get pregnant.

Ovulation tests are a wonderful resource that women have to determine what days of the month are the optimal times to attempt to get pregnant. They give women a better chance of predicting their fertile days. The Easy @Home Ovulation kit comes with 50 Ovulation tests that help detect the LH surge. They are the blue strips inside the box. Simple dip into a sterile cup of urine for 3 seconds then wait 3-5 minutes for your results.

This kit also comes with 20 Pregnancy Tests that detect the levels of hCG that occur when your pregnant.  These tests are 99.8% accurate and are simple to use. They can detect pregnancy sooner than a missed period. The pink strips inside the box are the pregnancy tests. The directions for using the pregnancy tests are the same as the ovulation tests. Simply dip the test into a cup of urine for 3 seconds, then place the test on a flat counter and wait 3-5 minutes.  The instructions to both types of strips are in the box and easy to understand.

This kit gives any couple peace of mind. It’s there for you to use but at the same time not dwell on trying to get pregnant so much. It’s basically a guide to increase your chances. If you focus on nothing else but getting pregnant, it’s just not going to happen. It will happen when the time is right.I really love how this box give you many strips because you probably won't get pregnant on the first try and buying tests individually can get pretty pricey. I’ve tested both strips and they quickly and easy gave me my results with no problems. And the company offers a 100% Satisfaction guarantee. I think this is a great first step for any couple that is finding themselves having a hard time trying to conceive.
