For Inquiring Minds...

I feel like it's been half past FOREVER now since the last time I made a "personal" post, so what better time than now, right??

Part of the reason for my lack of personal posts would be the fact that it's summer vacation, and my kids have been keeping me busy & on my toes! Like right NOW, for example. It's shortly after 3:00 a.m., and my sweet toddler has had me awake since around about midnight. Granted, SHE has not been awake the entire time. Once she woke me up, however, the act of me being able to fall asleep again went completely out the window. Thank goodness for COFFEE.

Those who follow the blog regularly know that I've spent the summer testing and reviewing products. It's been a great way to keep from feeling stressed! This week I've got some campaigns I'm working on that are all about #HairLove. I'm really excited about them!

Those who follow the blog regularly also know that I haven't posted the Houston Chronicle inserts for the majority of the summer. I will be starting to post them again once the new school year rolls around. The reason? On mornings when I type up the HC coupons, I wake at 3:00 a.m. to grab my paper and get started. During vacation time, this generally leaves me grumpy, and not fun to be around. So I made the decision to get proper amounts of rest while my girls are home for summer. They're my top priority, and I want them to enjoy the HAPPY me.

While I may not post many personal posts on this blog very often, you can still keep up with me on different social channels! (I'm always posting SOMEWHERE). I'll leave the links below:

• Twitter
• Instagram
• Pinterest
• YouTube
• Tumblr
• Google+

One of these days, I'll get around to making a FB page! I've got some other adventures I'm about to embark on, and some new survey sites that I'm adding to my personal list of favorite sites. I'll post more on that later!

For now, I'm going to log off and finish my coffee. I just wanted to give everyone some explanations, and let y'all know why my posting habits have changed. I promise this is only temporary!

#DOKOIN Mop and Broom Holder Review

This week, I've been introduced to a product that has genuinely helped with my OCD!! I'm the type of person who has a serious need for things to be organized. If things aren't organized, to the point where the term "clutter" comes into play? Well, I get irritated and grumpy. Anyone who really knows me can vouch for this.

See the picture? It has driven me absolutely crazy to know that this use to be the resting spot for my floor cleaning supplies. It was a complete waste of floor space, an eye sore, and in my own opinion? CLUTTER.

My Review of the Areta Fingertip Pulse Oximeter

Holan Aromatherapy Essential Oil Diffuser

It's me again!!! I've spent the last week or so testing a product that I'm actually super glad I found....and I love the way it works!

The Holan Aromatherapy Essential Oil Diffuser (Which I received for free, in exchange for my honest review) is pretty nifty!

This diffuser has multiple light settings. You can set it to be a single solid color (of your choice, of course), or you can set it to rainbow mode, where it gradually changes to each color of the spectrum. The colors are bright enough to be seen, but at the same time they're dim(ish) to give the room a relaxed feel.

The Holan also has two mist settings. You can set the mist to spritz sporadically, or you can set it to a continuous mist.

If you're looking for a diffuser for the purpose of using oil blends that help with sleep, this one has an automatic shutoff function once all the water's gone, so you can fall asleep even easier with that knowledge! (My husband and I use sleep blends to help with insomnia).

#Jackyled Universal 3 in 1 Travel Plug Adapter

***This is a sponsored post. I received a 2-pack of Jackyled Universal 3 in 1 Travel Adapters for free, in exchange for my review. All opinions are genuinely my own.***

So this week I had the opportunity to test these Jackyled travel adapters, which can be purchased on Amazon here.

This adapter is made for travel in the UK and Hong Kong, and can fit virtually any plug (It does state in the Amazon product description it is NOT compatible with the large South African plug).

As you can see from the pictures, I tested the product with my cell phone charger, and my laptop charger (the FIRST 2 things I'd pack to bring with me!).
