Yolev Double Layer Sports Bras

#Yolev #mimismarks #ad #spon
 
These are a great set of sports bras in very popular colors.  I purchased these knowing that if I didn’t wear them, that my oldest daughter would. She’s very fond of wearing sports bras on a daily basis - she swears they are more comfortable than a traditional bra.

The colors are very cute, and the double layer razor back design makes them look even more contemporary.  I was impressed at the quality also.  Some are very stiff and hard to get into.  These are soft and stretchy, yet still give adequate support.  
 
I’ll probably give them to her, but only because she will wear them nearly every day!

4D Blocks

#4DBlocks #Mimismarks #KarmasMarketing
 
Like me, you might think that your kids are too old for these … and like me, you might be wrong.  I got these with the intention of saving them for my grandsons.  They arrived the same weekend my 20 year old was home from college.  He and his 23 year old sister decided to talk me into letting them open them and check them out.  
If you have any doubts that your kids will be still enough of a kid at heart to play with these, then check out the video below.  This was taken AFTER these two big kids had played with them for over a half hour.  And - they are begging me to buy more of them so that they can build all of the fun stuff that comes in the instruction book!

Zeagoo Women's Boat Neck & Flared Lacy Tunic Dress

#Zeagoo #Mimismarks
If you are looking for a sweater to wear with a pair of leggings or yoga pants to make a dressy outfit, you will love this one.  The lacy front is a little different from anything I’ve worn before, but by the end of the day I had fell in love with it. The sleeves are the new batwing style, but more tastefully made than some I’ve seen.  
 
I paired it with a pair of black leggings and black booties - and then put a wool scarf over it for a little more warmth (I am always cold!).  Younger wearers might wear it as a dress, but that’s a pretty far stretch for me.  
 
It does run just a tad big, so order the size you would purchase in your local store.  I ordered a Large on this one, but could have easily worn a Medium.

#HealthyWiser #waterteststrips #tomoson #ad #spon
I was super happy to get these HealthyWiser Test Strips.  Even though it past the season that I use them regularly, I will be able to keep them fresh in the airtight container they come in.  The first thing I noticed is that there are separate foil sealed packages INSIDE the bottle.  They will stay much more accurate and there is less chance of getting the unused strips wet or them falling out of the bottle. There are 100 total strips - enough to last all summer!

Keeping our pool water in balance is important to prolong the life of the liner, pump and all the piping, as well as making it a healthier environment for swimming in.  These 9-in-1 water test strips test for total alkalinity, free chlorine, pH, total hardness, total chlorine, cyanuric acid, nitrite, nitrate, and bromine.  

Just dip a strip in the water, hold it level for 30 seconds and then compare it against the bottle or the chart included.  

I got these as a complimentary sample for testing purposes, but you can get yours here:   http://amzn.to/2dnqwy0

Pine Brothers Softish Throat Drops

#PineBrothers #Softish #MimisMarks
As an allergy/asthma sufferer, I can tell you that sometimes, the right throat drop can mean the difference between coughing all afternoon, and being able to soothe that tickle or sore throat quickly.  

I used to use a couple of well known brand name throat drops, but always hated to buy them, because they take so long to suck them down to nothing.  And if you chew them, well, that kinds defeats the purpose of using them.  With these Pine Brothers Softish drops I can suck on them, bite them a little off and on, and sooth my throat in a matter of minutes, instead of taking much longer to suck on a hard throat lozenge.

We got to try the new flavors - Sugar-Free Wild Cherry and Vitamin C Orange.  I still haven’t been able to decide which is my favorite, because I like them both.  I use them at work when my throat starts getting too dry from running my heater constantly, and from the effects of all of the allergy meds I take.  I also keep a bag in the car, and by my chair at home.  

They are called Softish Throat Drops, because they are just that - softish.  They are not soft enough to just chew, but they are not hard either.  The gum arabic and plant glycerin combine to make a drop that coats your throat to soothe and heal it.  I didn’t expect them to work as well as they do, especially since they do not have all the additional additives and artificial ingredients.  They are gummy and yummy and work really well.

The flavors are great - I usually gravitate to Cherry and Orange flavors anyway, so these would have been my first choices on the store shelf.  Another plus is the fact that they are gluten free (and vegan also).  Gluten seems to be one of the ingredients that several members of my family have an intolerance for.  
 
You can only find these in a few select locations. The Sugar Free Cherry can be purchased at Harris Teeter, Harmon, and ShopRite.  The Vitamin C Orange is available at Kinney Drug.  And you can, of course, find them on their website.  
 
I got my Pine Brothers Softish Throat Drops for free, and my throat is very thankful!

Zeagoo Women's Casual Long Sleeve Solid Shirring Drape Jersey Dolman Tops

#Zeagoo #mimismarks #style #soft

I fell in love with this shirt as soon as I put it on.  The style is one I haven’t tried before, but it works very well.  The waist is gathered and draped, and makes your waist look slimmer.  The sleeves and bodice are sized just right to allow for just the right fit for a variety of body types.
It’s stretchy, but not overly so.  The stitching is well done, and I could not find any dings or skipped places.  The material is soft and feels wonderful against your skin.

You can wear this top in cooler weather either alone or with a sweater, or as I chose the day I took the pictures, with a scarf or shawl. It would fit well with a long sleeve sweater or poncho also.  It was very hard to choose between the colors offered, but since I am on a tight budget, I chose blue as it will work with a variety of outfits, from jeans to slacks or skirts.  I’m going to be looking for other items from them - I’m sure they will fit just as nicely.

Animal Onesie - Bunny Fleece Hood

Cute as a bunny!  This fleece hat is not only warm and cozy, but it’s fun to wear.  I was going to give it to my granddaughter, but I think my daughter would be a little upset with me.  She fell in love with this hat.  In fact - she posted one of the pictures to her friends right after we took them and they wanted to know where she got it!  
 
It’s fuzzy, warm, and just plain fun.  The picture says it all.  
 
I got a discount - and they have more than just bunnies.  Check it out here:  http://amzn.to/2g4Kqo5

Hiperspeed Pokemon Throwing Ball - with Pikachu

This is a fun Pokemon toy. The ball has to be held just right to close it up around the Pikachu, and then once you have Pikachu inside, you close the little latch down.
 
But be careful, if you drop the ball (or throw it), the ball opens and Pikachu pops out.  The ball is really cool.  It folds up into a square on it’s own when it is opened (it’s inside out).  My grown up Pokemon boy is going to be surprised when he finds this one!  He may be grown, but he still likes to catch Pokemon!  
I got mine free - Get yours here:  http://amzn.to/2eRAxnH

Vorfreude Rabbit White Cable Clips

#Vorfreude #Mimismarks #rabbits #cableclips
 
We always seem to have cables everywhere.  And it’s a real pain to have your phone charger cable slide down off the back of a table when you don’t have it plugged in.  So what do you do?  Well, we solved that problem with these great Vorfreude® Rabbit White Cable Clips.  
 
The package comes with 10 cute little white rabbit ear cable clips.  The detail on the ears was surprising.  In fact, when I suggested that you could color the inside of the ears pink, my daughter took hers and colored all the ears.  I left mine all white.  
 
They have double sided tape already applied to the bottoms, so all you have to do is peel the backing off the tape, and stick them wherever you need them.
I will be taking a few of mine to work, and leaving the rest at home to use with my phone cord at home.


Opulent Luxury Cashmere Shawl with Swarovski Crystal

I have never owned a Cashmere shawl before.  This one is extremely soft, and I wouldn’t have ever imagined that wool of any kind could be both lightweight, yet warm.  I wore this to work one day this week with a thin sweater, and it was exactly what I needed to make the outfit warmer, more comfortable and just added an extra pizzazz.  
I chose the Plum With Swarovski Crystal shawl.  I’ve been wearing it like a scarf, but may try wearing it like a shawl the way the model on Amazon wears it.  It’s 100% Cashmere Wool and the Swarovski Crystal in the logo on the lower corner is very cute.  You can wear it with the jewel showing, or if you choose, you can wear it with the jewel hidden.  The fringe is only 4 inches, and the way it’s woven and tied, you don’t have the tangled mess some fringes get.
 
I love my new scarf/shawl and will be wearing it often.

Sifan Stainless Steel Bathroom Hook

When I ordered this, I was intending to attach it to my bathroom cabinet to hand my curling iron, flat iron, hair dryer, etc. on.  Before it arrived, my hubby fixed the ones that were already there for me (yay!).  

This is really nice, heavy duty, and attractive too.  I wouldn’t think twice about mounting it to hang towels from if I needed it for that.  Even guest towels.  

I had debated what to do with this, and where I wanted to put it.  I finally decided that it was going to be mounted on the wall, and I’m going to hang my granddaughters potty chair seat from it.  She is at our house every few weeks, and we’ll get good use from it until she doesn’t need the seat anymore.  

After that?  I think I’ll hang one of those scented wreath like decorations from it or use it for other decorations.  I can’t show you pictures installed yet, because we had to rip out the tile last night for a broken wax ring in our bathroom toilet.  I can’t wait until this is fixed and I can finish it up.   - My Mr. Fixit has a deadline on this one :)

Nopnog Scented Device Holder


Everyone likes their car to smell good, and almost everyone I know uses a cellphone or GPS also.  This is a great way to make your car smell good, and keep your phone or GPS where you can safely see it while you are driving.

There are these little compartments at the top & bottom where you put the rods with the smelly stuff on them.  You attach it to a vent and the air flow scents your vehicle.

For me, the rods were a little too much like teenager perfume or body spray. I have asthma that is triggered by scents, and  I wasn’t able to find replacement rods, BUT I was able to make a work around.  

I took regular round toothpicks, cut off the ends to fit the holder, then soaked them in a votive candle holder with just enough Cinnamon Stick Essential Oil to barely cover them.  I let them sit that way for about a week until they had absorbed all the essential oil (or it evaporated?).  Then I put them in my holder and attached it to the vent in my car.  

Now my car smells like my favorite scent.  I’m going to make different ones scented with my favorite oils to have on hand.
