Works not just for robes, but towels too!

Robe Hook

Let’s just say, if it involves making life more convenient in my house, and it is of a good value, I am all for it. This time, I needed something for the main bathroom. There are two towel racks, but no hooks to put any other towels or clothes on. That meant sitting on the counter, and I don’t like taking that chance, especially when it’s so near the sink.

The hook works as simple as it is to set it up. I didn’t want to put it on the back of the bathroom door. I didn’t want to take the chance of it hitting the wall when someone opened the door, especially if there was something hanging from it. I put it on the wall and high enough to where you can put a full-length robe and still have room. 

The bracket was a simple 2-screw into the wall set-up. I didn’t use the provided anchors – there was no need to, especially when I screwed it into a support beam. I snapped the hook into place, and locked it into place with the provided wrench. There is no way it is coming loose or moving, and even if I moved it, it would be a simple movement as well.

It's like putting silver paint on your face - but it works!

Activated Charcoal Creme Facial Mask

I have heard of the new hype about activated charcoal. All I could picture was the charcoal briquettes one uses for a grill to cook with, not anything for health purposes. I recently purchased activated charcoal for my teeth. I was impressed on what it could do and benefit from.

When I first opened the container, I noticed that it closely resembled silver paint in a small sample container. It is activated charcoal crème, not powder. When you first go to apply it to your face, you can’t really see it on your skin. 

 It is almost a light transparency when you apply the thin coat to your face. It is meant to remove dead skin cells, dirt, and toxins, which is a plus in today’s world. I also found out that it has vitamins in it, to also keep your skin looking youthful and healthy. 

It says to leave on from anywhere from 5-20 minutes, depending on how quick it dries. I apply a thin coat, but it isn’t like usual face masks. This isn’t one that dries and peels off – this is one that you wait to dry then you wash off. I like that because when I used the peeling face mask, it never came off all at once, and had to peel section by section. I leave mine on for 20 minutes, then rinse. I like the way it tingles while waiting to rinse. Skin feels extremely smooth and soft when all is done with. I am glad I got this for myself.

Extremely attracted to each other! Great for wire jewelry!

Bronze Smooth Magnetic clasp

Being one for collecting items to start making her own crafting and jewelry, I needed something that I could use on the ends of certain items, to form a connection, so to speak. For my rope products, I would just melt together the ends, or tie it into a decorative knot, then burn the ends, so it didn’t fray. I didn’t have anything for the ends of my wire jewelry.

I like that the magnetic ends come in bronze, which to me is a neutral color. I am all about neutral colors, because I am not really into color coordination, but I like wearing jewelry that went with just about everything, and these connectors seem to fit the bill. I really like the fact that they are REALLY magnetic. You can’t get them within an inch of each other before they snap together. 

They seem to withstand a lot of pressure as well. They are perfect for 0.4 wire threading, along with a little clamping and twisting, the wire will stay secure on the magnet end. I haven’t had any issues with these yet, and I don’t think I will. I am glad I got these, because I really didn’t have any other option for ending my wire jewelry!

Great for crafting, bracelet making, and various uses!

Braided Genuine Leather Cords (Brown)

So, if people don’t know me: I have been recently getting involved with arts and crafts. I have slowly been building my collections, as well as my daughter’s, who has a set of pink camo beads, as well as the tiny rubber bands to make up bracelets. We had those and we had 3 types of wire, what I needed now was some type of rope. 

I chose brown over black, because it is more of a neutral color, better that tan, white, or black rope. I have black chokers, which I like, but that is a different cut of leather, not braided. 

One of the things that I do like about this rope is the fact that it is braided, and not just a flat rope. You can interweave beads throughout the design you had in mind, or you can just simply put beads on the rope and go from there.

Of course, like most ropes, they tend to fray on the ends when you cut them. I happen to keep a lighter in my small kit to burn the ends. I make it to where it goes to the way I want, blow it out, and then press it against itself, to melt the ends. What’s off is I never really thought of doing that, until a few years ago, when I watched my son work on paracord, and that is how he got his to stay together.

My daughter even noticed that it can be used as shoelaces, if worse came too worse, - just cut specific length, melt ends, and lace up your shoes! We haven’t had to do that yet, but at least I know if I ever need to, I can!

Shampoo that is great for adults, too!!

Best Baby Shampoo and Conditioner by Lil Leona

Well, for starters, I do not have any little ones around the house that can benefit from Lil Leona Baby Wash/Shampoo/Bubble Bath and the Conditioning Detangler. To be honest, I got this for myself. I have gone through a lot of hair products, and my hair has frizzed, dried out, or has been too dry. I decided to go another route.

I ordered this because baby wash products have minimal ingredients and plus, they are always gentle, without the chemicals. What I really like is that the 3-in-1 is basically all you need to get by in the shower. I have used it for the past 4 nights to wash either my hair or my body and I rather enjoy it. When I use it in my hair, it has a quite pleasant fragrance – you can say it is quite gentle! It leaves my hair smooth and easy to manage, and I love what it does for my hair.

The conditioner is another great hair item. I put it in after I towel-dry my hair. I work it through with my fingers, then use my brush to move it to the ends. It doesn’t have a greasy feeling to it, and doesn’t give your hair that greasy look either. It makes dealing with my naturally curly hair that much easier to manage!

Various Color (Earth Tone colors) Jewelry Beads

Various Color (Earth Tone colors) Jewelry Beads

I needed something to go along with other items around the house in order to make some quick jewelry for my daughter and myself. I had the wiring, the end pieces, and other beads, but they were just solid colors from my daughter’s pink camo collection. I wanted something that was more adult, and I went looking.

I like these beads, not just because of their name, but because of what they resemble to me: Earth. Even our teenage son, whose sometimes in his own world, quickly glanced over and said that they looked like the planet Earth. They came in a strand of 100, looped like a necklace. They are 8 mm in size, with a 1 mm opening, which means that you can only fit wiring through the opening. They look better when they are set end to end, which resembles the Earth if split from North to South. My daughter made a bracelet with this, and I think it turned out great.

These are great beads for craft involving wire work, so I assume the possibilities can be endless, even with earrings. Good purchase and now looking for the next thing to make with them!

Wire for all experiments!

Navifoce Bare Copper Wire Tarnish Resistant Jewelry Wire

I have a daughter who is into arts and crafts, mainly into making jewelry. I also have a son who’s into repairing and tweaking electronics, which calls for intricate work, and school work, mainly science. As of a few weeks ago, I have been in the mood to make something with my hands, that didn’t involve cooking in the kitchen. 

I wanted to make something that would last more from plate to mouth, so to speak – something tangible and can be seen by others, and possibly appreciated.

 

The wire comes in 3 different colors and I like this: copper, silver and gold. They are extremely thin: about .4 mm, and it is easy to manipulate to go your way. 

I know the size to be .4, because of the 4 that is has stamped on the front of the reel, so no guessing involved. My daughter and I have used the copper wire to make a simple bracelet last night to see how it would hold up. I used some beads and a clasp, and she tried it on, and it fit. 

Mind you, it isn’t the greatest bracelet, but it was just a test to see how the wiring would hold up. I must say, I like it and can’t wait to use it again for other crafts. Not to mention, what my son will be using it for in his experiments!
