Dingrich iPad Air 2 Case Review


I received my new iPad Air 2 case and could not wait to try this one out. My iPad snapped securely with no issues. All the cutouts lined up perfectly with my iPad. The case has a really nice finish, almost like a wood grain kind of finish. The iPad case has 2 grooves so that you can prop your iPad up horizontally. The case is well made and seems to be pretty sturdy. 
 I plan on using this case while on my paralegal internship. Since I’m required to do a ton of typing, I figured I would need something stylish to carry my iPad in. I have a screen protector on my iPad. I think when using any case, you should have some kind of protection on the screen just in case. The inside is soft and has a suede like finish. This will not scratch up the iPad if you do not have any screen protection.



 I think I will be using this case for some time, I normally change cases about every few weeks or so. My daily tasks require me to have a different case, depending on the type of bag that I will be using for the day. But if you are looking to purchase this case then I suggest you do. You will really be getting your money worth with this one. I have mentioned this case to all my friends and hope they plan to purchase one for their iPads as well. I received this item at a great discount in exchange for my honest opinion.

Kiss True Volume Natural Lash Review

I really do enjoy the Kiss brand. They make quality lashes that seem to last well beyond what the recommended wear. I loved these lashes! I love giving the outer lashes volume and fullness. I would cut the ends of the lashes and place them at the ends and it just created a great look. Plus, you get a few pairs out of each lash. The key thing if False lashes are long on you and look like spider legs, you can cut them to the length you want them to be! That's what I did and they look gorgeous!!! I LOVE these lashes and since then I have purchased more! As long as you care for your lashes, then they will last you a good while. I have been using the Kiss brand for a long time. These lashes can be found pretty much anywhere. I normally purchase mine from Target or Walmart. I have tried to wear fake lashes before, but I always had to take them off because I was unable to put them on correctly. Plus it just took too long to put on. When I received the Kiss Ever EZ lashes in my VoxBox, I said to myself let’s try it again. I was amazed at how easy it was to apply. I love the lash applicator it came with. It made it so easy to apply. It only took me 45 seconds to apply and 30 seconds I had to wait for the adhesive to become slightly clear and tacky. The value is excellent too. I received this item complimentary from Influenster for testing and review purposes. All opinions are my own.

Ore-Ida Tots Review

Now who doesn’t love #tots. I literally grew up eating tots. Tots has always been a staple in my family, I ate them at school, home or at a friend’s house. You can top a tot or eat them as is. I always liked my tots with a little ketchup, other times I like them loaded with bacon and cheese. Ore-Ida has been a household name for years and they are still going strong. 

Tots pretty much can go with anything; they are great for parties or small social gatherings or maybe a Super Bowl party. Honestly tots are the best comfort food on the face of this earth. How can you not like tots!! They are easy to make and really require no plate and the clean-up is almost effortless. I received this item complimentary for testing and review purposes from Influenster. All opinions are my own.

Cetaphil Moisturizing Cream Review

My son has dry skin and his pediatrician recommended this. He was using Aquaphor but the results were often temporary, too greasy, and took too long to absorb. This is really a great product for my son, and has eliminated the dry patches. The surprise came when I applied it to my face. I have seborrheic dermatitis, and the treatment is a mild cortizone cream during break outs. My skin is always dry on my face, even when it's not during a break-out. I've tried a lot of expensive moisturizers and serums (Exuvience, H2O, etc), and I haven't gotten the results I did with this Cetaphil. I have to layer the moisturizers and serums to get sufficient moisture. What a find, after spending untold amounts of money looking for the perfect moisturizer(s).



I had a break-out, and I didn't want the cortizone cream interact with my moisturizer, so decided to use the #Cetaphil after washing. I was amazed that after a day or so, the results were beyond what I've ever achieved with the serums, moisturizers, and hydrating (everything) I'd purchased. The moisture IS long-lasting and if it continues in this vein, I'll have found my miracle moisturizer and at a fraction of the price I've paid in the past. I'll update in a little while and see if the results are long-lasting and don't develop in break-outs (which they haven't after two weeks). Also, the fact that it has no parabens is definitely a plus! I received this item complimentary for testing and review purposes from @Influenster, but all opinions are my own. @Cetaphil #sponsored

IMKEY iPhone Cable Apple MFi Certified Review



Once this cable arrived in the mail I quickly replaced the stock cable that came with my iPad Air 2. So far rhis cable is pretty great, I have not had to retuurn to the stock cable since I have switched to this one. I tried another brand and for some odd reason it would not charge my device, or I was not seein that my device was charged. may have been a bad cable. Since using this cable I have not experienced any issues at all. The longer cable is really a plus plus for me. I use my iPad quite a lot and having a short cable really makes using my iPad really limited. The longer cable Im able to use my iPad as I please. The flat design really keeps the cable from being tangled ao you do not have to worry about messing it up. I will not be using the stock cable that came with my iPad. I wonder why Apple makes their cables so small, knowing people are going to use their device in the bed or on the couch, the short cable mean you have to wait until the charge is done before you can really use your device. If you are an iPad user and need a longer cable, I really do reccommend this brand. You will def not regret it. I received this item at a great discount in exchange for my honest opinion.


IMKEY Premium 10ft Extra Long Cable Review


This cable is beyond awesome. Lately I have been only using "wrapped cables" these cables seem to last way longer then the standard cables. This cable here has replaced another wrapped cable that I was using. The length works out great for me, the longer the better. The micro part fits snug into my phone, and the braided thick cable makes it feel like it will last through a tornado. The color stands out also. I like that the cable came with a tie. If you are not using the full 10ft then you can wrap up the rest to prevent twisting or having the cable get causght up with other cables that you may have. I will continue to use this cable until it goes out, which I doubt. Im using this cable with the Motorola Droid Turbo. The Turbo comes with the Turbo charger and this works well with it. The phone charges just the same as if you were using the cable that came standard with the phone. I received this item at a great discount in exchange for my hones opinion.


Stalion Selfie Stick Review


This selfie stick is pretty durable, The handle really makes it easy to use. Big hands or small hands, you will not lose your grip on this one. The setup is pretty easy and pretty much works with any smart phone. The selfie stick comes with easy to follow instructions so you can begin setup and take pictures in no time. The wristlet makes using the selfie stick pretty safe and easy. Im able to really get a good grip and know that I will not drop the stick or device with the built in wrislet. My seflsie stick hase been used with a ipod 5th gen, Motorola Turbo, iPhone 6s Plus and Note 5 and experienced no issues. I received this item at a great discount in exchange for my honest opinion.

Silicone Cooking Utensils Starter Set Review



These are actually a little better than I thought. I think the only issue that I have with the silicone utensils is when I use them with a colored sauce. I made chili beans and I think the spoon had almost a brown look to it, even after soaking in hot water. Maybe it was just me, but when I use it with a red or brown sauce it seems to tint the spoon a bit. I tried a soak in bleach water to see if that would help. I believe it did,  I will no longer use these when mixing sauces. Overall the utensils are really duarable and feel like they will last a good long while. You do not have to worry about the silicone melting. These utensils can stand up to pretty high heat. I received this item at a great discount in exchange for my honest opinion.

Womens Silicone Wedding Ring 5 Pack Review


The silicone rings arrived neatly packed and come in a pretty sturdy box. The colors pictured are what I received. I ordered a size 7 ring and they fit a bit snug, but overall they are a perfect fit. Im able to shower in them, wash dishes and wash my hands. The rings do not change color, nor do they lose their shape. I like to wear them daily and these bands will not cut off circulation. I can say try to order a size bigger. Because they are silicon they will fit perfectly if you order just one size bigger. I normally wear a size 7 and these fit a little snug on me. Not really a issue, but I would feel better if I would have ordered this item just one size bigger. I received this item at a great discount in exchange for my honest opinion.
