Belt




This is an elastic women's belt with a cure silver closure. The belt band is black elastic (or whatever color you picked) and is about 3 inches high. You can choose the length of the belt in the size options and you have a bit of leeway as it's stretchy. I ordered size S (normally wear size 5 women's pants) and it fits as expected (around my waist, not hips).

The closure has 4 metal ovals and 4 metal hoops that you can interlock easily and they won't come undone on accident. This is a nice, simple accent to your outfit. It looks really cute! I received this item for free in exchange for my honest review. #bellepoquedress

Scissors




I like this pack of scissors. The handles look nice with their bright white color and their colored bits inside the handles. I like that they are each a different color so you can divide them among your children without fighting or you can just know the blue pair is the kitchen pair and the orange pair is the office pair etc. There are three large scissors and one small pair of scissors, so you can have a pair on hand for any occasion.

They open and close easily without being loose. They line up perfectly and cut easily. I cut through 8 sheets of paper at once with no problem. We also use these to cut our homemade pizza. They come in a nice box as well in case you want to give them as a wedding gift or something. I received this item for free in exchange for my honest review. #zitriom

Onesie




This is an adorable baby onesie. It's grey cotton and nice and thick. It has a blue screen print of a whale shape with a smile and waves underneath on it that says "I speak whale," which is a reference to Finding Nemo. The neck has those flaps on the shoulders in case you need to take the onesie off by pulling it down baby's body. The bottom has three metal snaps to keep it on baby and also provide you with easy diaper access. The seams/hems are nice and thick as well. The stitching and fabric are good quality.

The ad doesn't let you choose a size and it doesn't mention what size the onesie is, but the tagless tag says 0-3 months. It's machine wash- and dryable. Your baby will look adorable in this gender neutral shirt. I received this item for free in exchange for my honest review. #DSOnsie

Wedges




This is a pair of beige/sand colored wedge sandals. They are surprisingly comfortable. The strap over the toes is wide enough that it doesn't dig into the side of your pinky toe like some other sandals I've tried. The ankle strap is adjustable and comfortable. The wedge is high, but not so high you lose your balance (I normally wear flat shoes) and it's not heavy.

I normally wear US women's size 9 or 9.5 shoes and have wide feet. I ordered size 9 in these and they fit very well. They would fit a thinner foot with no problem also. They look very cute and go with all kinds of outfits. I received this item at a discounted rate in exchange for my honest review. #zooshoo

Salt & Pepper Grinder


This is a unique salt and pepper grinder. It looks really cool and does save counter and table space to have it all in one. It's easy to use once full. You twist in one direction for salt and the opposite direction for pepper (the lid tells you which way to twist). There is no lid for the bottom, so you might get some leftover granules on your counter while it's resting. You can also adjust the coarseness of the grinders easily. For filling: You unscrew the top metal piece and pull the lid off. You are left with two smallish holes to fill. I was able to make a funnel out of my hand to get the salt and pepper to go in, but I did end up with some on the counter as some spilled out and some overflowed once full. Because you've got both in one, you also have less space in each, so you will need to refill more often than the larger individual grinders. I received this item for free in exchange for my honest review. #firaaworld

Meat Thermometer



This is a unique meat thermometer. It not only measures the actual temperature of your food, you can also preset it to sound an alarm when the food reaches a certain temperature or level of "doneness." Additionally, it's wireless, so you can put the probe in and just carry around the screen/remote (includes belt clip) and it will let you know what's happening with your food from the other room! It can work up to 65 feet, so you can be getting other things done rather than trying to sit and watch your food cook or forgetting about it and burning it.

It's pretty simple to use. The menus and buttons are clearly labeled. It included instructions for how to set it to your preferences. You will need to buy four AAA batteries to make it work (two for the remote and two for the base). The screen is backlit and easy to read as long as you hold it at the right angle. I received this item for free in exchange for my honest review. #Hosezzle

Action Camera




This is a sports action camera with a wide angle lens. It's nice and small and will fit easily into a pocket. It measures just over 2.25 inches wide, just over 1.5 inches tall, and just under an inch thick. It's waterproof and this set actually includes a ton of accessories including a case. The only thing it doesn't include is an SD card. You can charge it via USB (or plug it into an adaptor for the wall).

The camera takes great pictures. It's pretty easy to use; there are just 4 buttons (on/back, take photo/select, up, and down arrows). You can connect it to your phone or tablet to take photos remotely and do other cool things with them. You can take video, photos, timed delay photos, and multiple shots. The thing I like most about this camera over some others I have seen is that it has an LCD display on it, so I can scroll through my pics then and there without having to wait to connect my device as well as see what I'm taking a picture of while taking the pic. I received this item at a discounted rate in exchange for my honest review. #smarssen
