This really steps up my dessert game. I love to have people over to entertain. It does not matter if it's our friends, my kids friends, or having the neighbors over I love to have snacks and sweets for my guests. Well with this set of 24 clear plastic dessert cups with lids allow me to make individual desserts. I like that I can wash them and reuse them, they do need to be hand washed. I would not suggest putting them in the dishwasher. I have not had any break on me but if they do I like that I can recycle them.
I really like that these cups can be easily filled and layered. The presentation is very nice. I also think it is super cool that the top can be taken off and used as almost a pedestal for the cup. The cups also stack very nicely on top of each other in the fridge. There is a even a small clear plastic spoon included in the set.
I like to make pudding or yogurt parfaits in them . I really think the layering looks so nice and appetizing. This are great to use for a get together or just to have a much nicer presentation for my family. I personally do think that these are bit pricey but since they are reusable I know I will get my moneys worth.

Our aquarium is in our living-room and is seen by everyone who enters our home. I like to keep it clean and have and have different fish and different spots for the fish to hide and feel safe. It always makes it fun to look around for the different fish. I think this is a very nice addition to out fish tank.
I do think it is a bit smaller than what the picture represents but it is still a ok size for smaller fish in our aquarium. This is the only reason I am giving it 4 stars instead of 5. I really thought my medium size fish would be able to explore this hut to. But I still think it looks nice and it will be great for the smaller fish.
I do like that there are no sharp or rough edges on the coco hut. It is actually carved by hand. I also really like having a natural habitat for my fish instead of plastic one that can have chemical and toxic paint. I really believe that only natural items should be in my fish tank. I am not sure how the algae is going to make this look but I hoping the fish will take care of that.

Honestly I am usually a white sheet and comforter kind of lady, but my husband wanted something with a little more color and that I didn't have to worry about getting the white dirty. I am loving all shade of greys right now so I figured I would love this too and I was right. I use my duvet on the reverse side instead of the floral side. I love the darker grey color. It looks very sophisticated. There is a beige floral almost damasks looking type print on the grey background and I am really loving it. I don't think this is overly feminine or girly at all.
I really like that this is 100% cotton. The feel of cotton is my favorite. I order the full/queen size and it fits my queen size comforter perfectly. There are ties at each corner of this duvet cover. I prefer the zippered closure that this duvet has because it looks very clean and neat. I also like that there are 2 matching pillow shams. The pillow shams fit a standard size pillow.
I had no problems with my comforter shifting inside the duvet cover. I also experienced no problems with lose threads or stains. This was brand new and perfect. I did wash like I do all my sheets in comforters in my washing machine and dried it in the dryer. I did not have to iron any of this set becasue I grabbed it out of the dryer before it had a chance to wrinkle. I would think becasue it is 100% cotton that the shams might need a quick iron if left in the dryer and allowed to wrinkle

I have always wanted to make poached eggs but have been very intimidated to do so the traditional way. I have honestly only had poached eggs at restaurants before. Well now I can make perfect poached eggs.
I did have to google how to use silicone egg poaching cups to figure it out, but it was honestly easy once I knew how. First started to boiled a pot of water and then put the cups in with a little bit of butter, once the water reached a boil I put an egg in each cup and seasoned it with salt and pepper. I then placed a top on the pot and waited about 4 minutes I them used a pair of tongs to get the cup out, this didn't work so well for me becasue I ended up dunking the egg in the water. So I grabbed my spider strainer and was able to scoop the cups out much better. To get the eggs out I just used a spoon. The eggs were done just how I like them.
These are able to me washed in the dish washer or by hand. I do have to warn not to just grab the cup out of the boiling water with a finger cause the cups are hot. Also I found it best to not over crowd the pot, so I used two pots and had two cups in each. And if the top is not on the pot it takes the eggs forever. These are all thing I found out while testing these cups.

This is such a neat set of sunglasses. It comes with 5 interchangeable lenses. I have never seen sunglasses that offer interchangeable lenses, I think this is such a great idea. There are the rainbow mirrored finish, a classic black, yellow tinted, clear safety, and a clear blue tint. Each of these were delivered in a plastic wrap so there are no scratches on any of them. The lenses are easy to change. I like that these are made of unbreakable polycarbonate .
Also included in this is a very nice hard case that zips closed, a cleaning cloth, a sports strap that can be connected to the arms of the glasses, a rope that can me attached (this is not as thick or tight as the sports strap), a bag to place the glasses or spare lenses in, and a nest frame insert that I think prescription lenses can be placed in. I am honestly impressed all that is included in this sunglasses set. The price point is great an I have not seen anything like this anywhere else.
I have nothing negative to say about these. My husband likes them and uses them on a daily basis. They are comfortable for him, very light weight and becasue the case is so sturdy and fits everything in it he just keep it in his work truck.

I love this cute bumble bee canvas bin. I have to admit I have a small obsession with bins and baskets, they are such an easy way to stay organized and make it look like I have it all together. This storage bin does not disappoint. The bright yellow bumble bee decal is very eye catching, even adds a bit of whimsy. The bin is trimmed in grey fabric at the top and the bin it's self is a very light and neutral color of canvas. There are even handles on the sides for easy carrying. This measures 16" tall and is 11" wide. I would consider this a medium size bin.
I wanted this for my sun room so I can put our pool towels in there, so we can just grab a towel and head to the pool. I have them rolled up as you can see from picture. I think it looks great. I have to say I really like the happy bumble bee. This bin can be used for so many things like storage for toys, stuffed animals, blankets, or to use as a hamper. I am very happy with this bin. The only down side to this bin is I wish there was other sizes available. I would love a larger size.

I love these over sized round black sunglasses. I have an obsession with sunglasses and own many pairs I am always wearing a different pair to match my outfit and mood. These are a great fun pair. They came in a very neat triangle shaped case along with a cleaning cloth and a small screw driver tool to tighten the screws if needed.
These sunglasses are very comfortable and do not pinch my head. I an wear them all day. Sometimes with oversized sunglasses the frames end up resting on my cheeks and that drives me nuts. These frames do not do that. I can even smile and they still don't touch my cheeks The arm of these glasses have a nice little sparkle to them, but nothing gaudy or over the top. I like the retro design and that I have not seen this style affordable in stores. I really like the simple design and how well they fit. They are not to heavy that they leave marks on the bridge of my nose either.
