Well, I have a few issues with the product listing.

Firstly, it shows them being used on a 3-tier cake and appearing quite large. Nowhere does it state that they’re actually only 2.5″ each. So, not nearly as big as they’ve been photo-shopped to appear.

Secondly, it does not tell you what they’re made out of. I had assumed they’d be sugar, but they actually turned out to be printed on what I assume is a thicker rice paper.

Beyond those two things, they’re not bad for their price. They arrived in a small plastic box, sealed with a sticker. Nothing fancy, but it’s sufficient.

I found that in the 20 butterflies, I received 15 different prints, so a nice variety. I did receive only 1 of most, obviously. Most of my duplicates were in the pale pink prints. I will state that the prints are not perfectly aligned/cut. Each is perfectly SHAPED like a butterfly, but the actual image seems to be askew on about half. Not enough to ruin them, but enough to point out.

Being that they’re are printed on a paper, you’re actually able to fold them up for a more 3D effect, so that’s nice feature of them. I haven’t shown them in use because I’m saving them for a specific person’s birthday. I know that she will particularly enjoy them and am glad to have them on hand.

I would probably give them a 3/5 rating due to misalignment and lack of details in the listing.

 Firstly, I do not understand why this company sent me another oil, after my previous reviews. I was NOT thrilled with the first three they send me. Peppermint, Lavender and Tea Tree. They messed up PEPPERMINT, it was bright yellow and it smelled bad. Not sure how that even happens.

Then the fourth oil, I actually gave a one star, scathing review. It was for their “helichrysum”. It was a toxic green color and smelled AWFUL. It was nowhere near pure and it was painfully obvious. I was not shy about saying this.

Sooooo, did they think a fifth might turn me around? Make me think that their company isn’t mislabeling their oils? Well. I can say it did not have this effect.

They sent me their bergamot oil which, again, is supposed to be 100% pure and natural. I tried to give it the benefit of the doubt and cleared my mind before opening it for testing. As always, the oil is in a brown glass bottle that arrives with a flat cap on, with a dropper wrapped in bubble wrap to the side.

I swapped caps and went to draw some out. Welp, the dropper isn’t quite right. The glass tube was all the way up into the bulb. I wiggled this most of the way down, but it’s certainly not SOLIDLY positioned.

After “fixing this”, I pulled some oil and personally thought that the color was a little light, and again, not right. Bergamot oil should have a green hue ranging from pale to dark. This was more yellow. Just like the others.

When I FIRST opened the bottle it smelled somewhat citrusy, as it should. But after letting it breath and set on my pallet for a minute I could smell other notes in it. Chemical notes. I had my husband check it too. His first statement it that it smells NOTHING like bergamot. Just chemical citrus. Lovely. More oil I don’t trust to come in contact with my family.

 I PERSONALLY will not be buying from this company but I WILL be telling others about my observations. I do not suggest falling for their “BARGAIN” priced oils. You are not going to get what you’re looking for.

Due to the recent changes in Amazon TOS, I will be leaving reviews for ALL of the product I've received but was not able to leave feedback for. Some of these products seem to have become unavailable since, so it may seem a little pointless to leave these reviews. But I do not want to unfairly fail to hold up my half of the original bargain. I WILL review the products and I hope they may be of use to some readers.

Thank you.

This trio of socks arrives in a "frosted" zip-lock bag with the brand clearly visible on it's front.Each pair is kept in a card stock slip, again with the brand stamped on their front.



My first impression is that they're quite soft and pleasant to touch. I like the deeper colors they have. They're not bright and they're not dark, they're just RICH. I enjoy this middle ground and think that they'll fit into many color schemes and outfits because of it.

As soon as I started bunching a pair up to put on, I could tell, they have a narrow tube circumference. They fit more tightly on my calves than I prefer, this is a standard issue I come across with knee high socks. They fit, but I don't like the way the dig in visually, as well as physically. It's just uncomfortable. When I discovered this, I just pushed them down and let them slouch around the top of my boots. They don't have a very dramatic slouch, as again, they're rather narrow. My calves are somewhat meaty though, measuring 16.5" at the widest, which also happens to be where the socks top hits.



Construction wise, these socks are well made and seem to be solidly knit. I like that the pattern is decorative and yet not overly feminine. If after a few more wears, I find I am not interested in keeping them in my drawer, due to their tight fit, I'll be able to give them to mu husband. Sure, he won't wear them in a fashion statement manner, but he'll still appreciate their cozy and soft nature.

I would most likely rate these a 3 or a 4 star. I feel that quality wise, they're a 4. But I don't like that they did not list a range for calf sizes in their listing, so that would bump it to a 3. If I had spent $15 on them and found them to be as narrow as they are, I would probably have sent them back regardless of them being so lovely and well made.

When asked to tell me what he thought of these jumper cables, the first thing out of my husband’s mouth was to rave over the 20’ length. He said he really liked that he didn’t have to pull the vehicles very close to each other. This was a particular high point to him because he was testing them on a Jeep G.C. that’s been dead for quite  few months, that we had parked in our side yard. He did not want to pull his family car into the yard that rude neighbors like to throw nails and glass into. SO, being able to jump the Jeep from a nice distance….definitely a good feature.

He also said that that the rubber coatings feel very durable, even in use and being pulled around. They do not appear to have any weak spots or splitting. He likes the body the wrapping adds to the cables.

The clamps have good tension and clip on easily. They stay in place and are easily identified due to coloring. They appear to be well connected to the cables themselves and feel solid.

The were easy to attach and worked immediately. There was no delay or having to adjust the connection. They just did their job. Nice and easy. Just like a nice set of jumper cables should do.

It like that they include the travel bag, as I know my husband would not be concerned with keeping them tidy if they had not. It also feels durable and well made. The brand is clearly visible, so if you like them enough you can easily find your way back to buy more for your other vehicles or as gifts!

I’m very glad to have received these complimentary in exchange for my honest and unbiased review. They add a pleasant feel of security, just knowing that they are in the trunk.

Firstly, a product such as a breast pump is going to be highly subjective. So please take your personal needs into accounts while considering ANY of them. If you read through many of the reviews you’ll see some women say that they think the suction is far too low where others mention that it’s too high and then the rest think it’s right where it should be. There are other details that also fall all across the scale throughout the reviews. This doesn’t make some right and some wrong, this just shows that everyone is different.

I breastfed my first child for two years and am ramping up to feed my second starting in November. I m an On Demand Breast Feeder and did not often pump. Part of this was being O.D. part of it was that in trying three separate high end electric breast pumps, I did not find one that worked well for ME. I hunted down properly sized flanges, I learned the mechanics of the machines, I educated myself and spoke to consultants. Electric breast pumps just are not very effective with my body, and I had a HIGH supply nearly the whole two years, so that was not an issue. I could literally hand express more efficiently than these machines worked.

With this in mind, while I prepare for Baby #2, I wanted to pick up a manual and hope I had better luck with it. This came across my path and I thought I’d check it out. It arrives in a pretty simply box and is what I consider to be rather straight forward. It’s nice that they include a set of breast pads and two bags. I will say the pads are not pretty or heavy. But I did not order this for breast pads. I do not know whether the bags are freezer safe or strictly fridge storage.

I found the pump and bottle to be easily disassembled, which will be nice for cleaning regularly. It was also easy for me to put back together. Everything seems to function smoothly when you’re just testing the construction. I like that it comes with a cap for the funnel. I would probably be keeping this for trips out without my little one, so I like that I won’t have to worry about dust and lint getting in it. Even better is the fact that this cap snaps onto the bottom of the bottle, helping it to stand since it’s unbalanced on it’s own. All of the caps and cap inserts are universal within the product and fit the necks of both the bottle cap and the pump head. I like the included rubber flange insert, as I would not be able to use this with just the hard plastic funnel, it’s neck simply being too large for me. The rubber insert makes it manageable and non-painful.

Again, I am 33 weeks pregnant. So OBVIOUSLY I’m not going to be sitting down to pump a full 5 ounces. I did try it anyway; to test suction, fit and ease of use. I found the suction to be of medium power and honestly thought it would not be very effective due to it’s lack of power. The angle of use was not uncomfortable for me, but the handle does slip off if you’re not EXACT in your pumping motion. If you change speed or twitch, it may dislodge from the plunging mechanism. It’s easy to put back on, but it is annoying. This makes it not a five star product. I also found the cap over this to wiggle loose, killing the suction, these two things need to be adjusted in production. I WAS surprised to get about .25 oz colostrum in about two to five minutes. Again, I am luck y and have not had issues with production, so I know this is high and fast. But it was still much more than I expected from a product with mid-level suction and a wonky handle. Enough that I would consider this product to be effective and worth keeping, for me personally. I will say, that as some ladies point out, not all of the moisture found it’s way to the bottle. A very small percentage of my very small pump got lost in the works.

Annoying? A little. Functional? Yes.

Firstly, this set is amazing, especially for only costing just under $20.

Secondly, I LOVE gel pens! Always have. When they started going out of “fashion” in the early 2000’s I started stashing them so that I could love them as long as possible. Any I found after that was like finding a gold nugget in a store. So, the fact that they’ve suddenly re-saturated the pen world has me tickled pink. (Thank you adult coloring craze.)

I saw this set and was very excited to try it. I liked it’s variety of hues and “textures.” I was a little skeptical of there being so many for such a low price though.

They arrived, and the thing I like immediately was their packaging. Very simple, but very nice. A classic marker kind of sheath that folds over  on itself and secures with a tab of velcro, so it’s not flapping open or being damaged by getting twisted. The flaps that keep the pens in place are secured with plastic snaps.

The pens themselves are wonderful. I only had about 3 “tricky starters” in the whole batch, 2 of which were the metallic, maybe that ink is just a little thicker or something. Coming from the gel pen hay day, this was not surprising or perturbing to me. I just scribbled it out. (A few tricks for pens that won’t start, even with scribbling, lick the tip and try again or run it over rubber, such as the bottom of your shoe. I’ve never had a pen resist these tactics.)

I decided as a quick way to make it through all 100 pens and check out their qualities I’d just fill in a page of a book I had lying around. For future users, I’d suggest having a scribble pad next to you, as some of the caps are not the most accurate. I found that the pigments cover well and dry quickly. Once the pens are properly started, they dispense very smoothly. I had a lot of fun going down this set and particularly enjoyed the GLITTER selection. (MOST especially the clear with glitter. Yes, a CLEAR color pen that is just silver glitter.) I will be keeping this set up, out of the reach of my toddler, as I enjoy it far too much to have to pillaged by eager, unorganized hands.

List Price atm:  $17.99This is a nice gift to a new mother, or an investment on her own part. I find that reusable nursing pads are infinitely more comfortable than disposables, as well as being more cost effective and eco-conscious. This set is no exception.


The breast pads come in a small, cushioned, drawstring bag with a drool bib folded up in it’s own little package, as well as a thank you card with a discount code for future purchases. The bag is meant for laundering, but I’m really not sure of how effective this would be unless you were only washing one or two sets at a time. So for heavy leakers, you’ll need a bigger bag to wash your full load, because I really feel like the pads would just be compressed together and not get well cleaned at all in this. Again, UNLESS it were one or two sets.

The drool bib is cute and simple. It’s not very thick, it’s a thin, t-shirt like material. So, good if you have a little one that overheats and needs lighter weight items, bad if you have a seriously drooly baby. It has two size settings set by plastic snaps on the back. It’s a nice little bonus for them to throw in, but it’s not of a quality that should be swaying decisions, in my opinion.

The pads themselves are nicely sized at 4” across. The bamboo side is of course delightfully soft and appears to be well woven.  The colored backsides are also well woven and solid. It’s inner linings don’t feel very thick, I don’t know how LONG these would stay comfortable on days where I’m leaking a lot or regularly. I feel like they may need swapped out pretty regularly. The edges are closed with a basic whipstitch. It seems mostly effective, but some spots are roughly done/done  over. I don’t see this as a huge issue, as I’d rather it be doubled up than have a dropped seam.

Overall, this set of reusable breastfeeding set is nice, it’s soft and I will be using it.
