#MaxxEliteMaxxDouble Maxx Elite Double Bottle Warmer Review!

One of the things on our registry was a bottle warmer. I plan to breastfeed and pump and use bottles, so storing milk means that it will need to be warmed after it is thawed or placed in the fridge. From what I have read (which could be entirely inaccurate), microwaves heat more unevenly than warm/hot water. In addition to that, microwaves also have been shown to zap the nutrients out of food/water (in one study that I read about plant growth and water that was microwaved vs. not). Whatever the case, I do know that microwaves are hard to get to a precise temperature, if not impossible, and every time I make soup, the heating is NOT even at all.

I was excited to get a bottle warmer so I could see how it worked before baby got here. I'll admit, when it arrived, I was intimidated by it. It looked complicated, had a lot of buttons, and I was afraid I would mess it up. However, once you really look at it and read, it's basically common sense and not hard to use at all!

In the beginning, we'll probably only use one side for the bottle, but when he's eating baby food, being able to heat up two flavors of food at once will be convenient. There's a lot of uses for this bottle warmer outside of baby, as well! I am a film photographer and I will be using this warmer to get the water for my mixtures to an exact temperature. Before, I had to use ice cubes and boiling to get it there.

This bottle warmer is VERY nice, overall. The quality is great. It's nice and hefty and not cheaply made at all. The most impressive thing to me was how the lid (clear plastic top) fits perfectly and securely onto the warmer. There's no slipping and sliding around when trying to get it to attach. The inside of the bottle warmer is very roomy and will literally fit any brand (I use Dr. Brown's). This warmer fits easily on the counter and while larger, it doesn't impose too much on the amount of room that you have. I selected the blue one, and the color is adorable for our little guy. The plastic outside isn't porous (it's very smooth and glossy) and is easily wiped down. The cord for the power is long enough to reach a reasonable distance.

Overall, I'd highly suggest this as a personal purchase for a baby shower gift, animal rescue, or hobby where warmed/heated water is needed. It's a great price for a great quality product that will make your life easier.

#ChiroDoc Orthopedic Memory Foam Pillow Review!

I am coming up on a very painful time in my life: post-delivery. While I'm excited to meet my son, I'm dreading, SO MUCH, the pain that will come with recovering. I'm experiencing a VERY LONG pregnancy (will more than likely go over my due date), so I'm expecting this guy to be BIG. I am NOT excited about him physically coming out. That being said, I'm doing all I can to make this process as easy as possible. Along with a few other measures, I saw this cushion and knew that I needed it.

When it arrived, I was surprised at how big it actually is. This is great for me, as I've kind of expanded in the past couple of months of pregnancy. The seat has plenty of room, so if you're bigger like me, you don't have to worry about it being to small. If you're smaller, you're going to have plenty of space and you can sit on it in any number of positions and still be covered.

The next thing I noticed about this cushion was that the cooling factor is VERY easily felt with just a few seconds of pressing on it. It really does feel nice! While it's not ice cold, I do definitely notice a difference and paired with the fact that it's like memory foam, the cool contours to your body. This is great, because you don't have to fold or force it any certain way to get relief.

The foam in this pillow is firm but not too firm. It's like a nice medium memory foam pillow. It contours, but it also has a bit of a push back. It's not going to go flat on you anytime soon.

Overall, I really like this pillow and know that it's going to help me a LOT as I recover. I'd highly suggest it if you take part in long road trips, have a desk job, or have spine/hip issues.

All Natural Fridge Odor Remover by Sagano Review!

When I ordered this, I had a very specific use in mind. Yes, this is mostly marketed as a freshener for the refrigerator. However, our fridge is BRAND new and we're not at the point of needing anything odor-wise to help with that. The problem that I wanted to address with this charcoal odor absorber was.....*doom music* the CAT LITTER BOX. Yes...with multiple cats, and buying the best of the best litter, we still occasionally have odors. With us JUST having moved, we are keeping the cats hostage so they can "learn" where they live. This means that they're going inside a LOT more.

I did notice a pretty awful smell when our litter box got loaded down (pig, plus 5 cats). Before my husband changed it (I'm pregnant...I can't touch it), I wanted to put this little device to the test. It took a few hours for me to notice any difference, but I did notice one after having it right above the box. I didn't have to do anything to it to get it going...I just took it out of the box, unwrapped the plastic, and laid it out.

This is a nice sizable air purifier. It's easy to hide if you want to, but it's big enough to make a difference. The plastic on the outside is durable and encases the charcoal so that it doesn't come out and make a mess.

Overall, I'm a fan of this purifier and would suggest it for any household odors (closet, fridge, litter box, baby room).

#MAXAM Flask Review!

We're not huge drinkers. In fact, I just don't drink. However, my husband will OCCASIONALLY have a little bottle of Whiskey (the cheap nasty stuff haha!!). When he does, he gets the little plastic bottles, and I've experienced first hand the way those suckers leak when you open them and try to reseal them. On top of that, the bottle just doesn't LOOK great. Sometimes, the label isn't even put on straight!

 For those reasons, I wanted to get my husband this flask. He doesn't ask for/get a whole lot, so when I find something that he can use and might enjoy, I'm excited! I was excited about this flask because I know he enjoys nicer conveniences in life.

When this flask arrived, I was actually surprised at how large it is. It's not too large to carry, but it's one of the bigger ones I've seen (outside of those comically large ones!). I gave it a squeeze as soon as I opened it to see how durable it actually is. I know some of them are super cheaply made and buckle easily. This guy didn't give much at all! It's very nicely weighted and feels great in the hand. The top isn't hard to figure out, either. It's simple to open and close, and it closes very securely. The top is attached so there's no risk of losing it.

 The flask overall is very striking and sophisticated looking. It's got a gleam to it that instantly ups your class, even if you're drinking cheap, nasty whiskey! Hahaha!!

I'd highly suggest this as a gift for the man in your life or as a personal purchase.
