Stadium Chair




This is a little chair you can use to made sitting on stadium benches more comfortable, but you can use it for other seating options as well. It's black in color and has a sturdy steel frame. The frame has a handle for carrying when folded. Stretched between the frame are two pieces of black cloth that make a seat cushion and back rest. You can adjust the under seat if needed and the back rest cloth can come completely off if you don't want it.

The cloth is nylon and the chair can hold up to 400 lbs. Underneath the frame has rubber pads to keep the chair from sliding around. It also has a hook type piece you can put under the bench to keep the chair from tipping backward, but even without using that, it's supportive and sturdy. It's pretty comfortable; definitely more so than hard benches. I received this item for free in exchange for my honest review. #StadiumChairs

Sippy Cup Lids




This is a set of 6 sippy cup lids. They are made of silicone and are deep blue. The lids have a sippy mouth with a tiny slit in it as well as an air hole with a tiny slit. This means when it's on a cup, it doesn't leak much (I turned it upside down and shook and only got one drop out). It's easy to drink out of as long as there's liquid. If you suck air, it will not let more air in, but if you're drinking liquid, air will come in to replace it with no problem. They do taste a bit like silicone sometimes does, but it's not gross or too strong.

The lids are stretchy and have a large base to attach around a cup. It's easy to put them on and take them off as long as the cup isn't super tiny or super huge. If you want to store them, you can fold the base under and stack them pretty well. They are easy to clean and dishwasher safe. This is a super easy way to convert average cups into sippy cups. The lids are small and easy to transport. I received this item at a discounted rate in exchange for my honest review. #SipTopia

Car Seat Travel Bag




This is a car seat travel bag, especially meant to protect your car seat while flying. It will help keep your car seat clean and prevent scratches etc, when it has to be gate checked. It has a hand carrying strap and backpack straps to make it easier to carry around the airport. It also includes a little pocket for your name and address in case it gets lost.

The fabric is deep gray and is very thick/sturdy. The edges and corners are reinforced and it even has nice padding on the bottom square. The zipper at the top is nice and thick. It stores slightly larger than other car seat travel bags because of the padding, so if you're super limited on space, take that into consideration. It does fold up (easily) on itself into a little pouch for easy storage. Folded up, it measures almost 19 inches long, 6.5 inches tall, and just under 3 inches thick.

The bag says "stroller" on it instead of "car seat" and the seller included a little apology card explaining the printing error. I received this item for free in exchange for my honest review.

Sleep Bra




This is a nursing bra with some neat features. It's very light pink in color and the fabric is soft, silky, and stretchy. It overlaps in the front and you open the cups by pulling one across and under the breast (very easy to access). The shoulder straps are wide (3 fingers!) and very comfortable. They are not adjustable. The rib strap is comfy as well and has three rows of hooks in the back for adjustable closing.

The fabric is infrared. I'm not sure how it works, but I think it's supposed to reflect your body heat back to keep you nice and warm and circulating well. The inside of the cups just feels like soft cotton. There's also a little slit at the top of the cups in case you want to stick a pad in there.

I normally wear size 34D and ordered a size M. The rib strap was almost too large. It fit on the smallest hook. The cups fit also, with tons of room to grow. I think it's not a tight-fitting bra, and it's meant to have room to grow, but even though it wasn't tight, it wasn't really too big either. I think I ordered the right size for me. It is very comfy, also supportive, and I do think I will sleep great in it. I received this item for free in exchange for my honest review. #Mamaway

Lahtak Inflatable Furniture




This is a neat blow-up couch reclining chair thing. You can use it in water or on land (at home), although they give a warning that the opening end might not be waterproof (I'm sure it would be fine). It's shaped like a folded over tube and you rest between the two sides putting your head at the fold, but really, you can sit/lay in it however you like. Make sure it's not upside down or you will slide in between the tubes (crack!). The fabric feels durable and smooth like a tent. It's waterproof. It does collect static and attract some pet hair/human hair etc.

It's not too hard to blow up once you get the hang of it. It took me less than 5 minutes to figure out. You basically open one tube and pull it across in front of you to get air in and then close the end really quickly. Then you repeat with the other side. You might have to do several sweeps to get it full enough. Then you roll the ends up really tightly and buckle closed. This keeps the air in. If you don't inflate it enough or roll it tight enough, you will end up sitting on the floor with the tubes on either side of you. If you do it well enough, it's nice and comfy. As you lay on it, it will deflate, but very slowly. So you can get several hours out of one fill before you might want to top it off again.

I ordered the red color and it looks like a bright reddish orange. Almost like clown red. I think the sofa is comfortable enough to sit and lay on. It kind of feels like laying in a hammock and kind of feels like a bouncy house. My husband finds it less comfortable than I do, and he prefers to lay with his head at the "feet" of the sofa. We keep ours to use as extra seating for movie night at home. It can hold up to 450 lbs, so my husband and I can sit on it together. It stores very small in a little bag and is very lightweight, so it's easy to carry with you and store. I received this item at a discounted rate in exchange for my honest review.

Conditioner




This is an 8oz bottle of natural botanical conditioner for hair. The bottle is white plastic with a silver and grey push down to pop the other side open lid. The conditioner is easy to get out of the bottle. The conditioner is white and thick/creamy. It smells like flowers with a hint of sweet peppermint. It smooths into your hair easily and rinses out easily. It leaves your hair soft and smooth. I had no tangles and no trouble combing it. It rinses out very cleanly and doesn't weigh my hair down at all. This means some of my hair is a little more flighty than with my previous conditioner, but it's not frizzy.

I love that the ingredients are natural. It's just things like plant oils and extracts. There are no parabens. I am a huge fan of staying away from chemicals and this conditioner is natural, healthy, and works well as conditioner! I received this item at a discounted rate in exchange for my honest review. #Skin2spiritNaturaConditioner

Fish Oil




This is a bottle of fish oil pills. The bottle contains 180 softgels. The serving size is two per day, so this bottle will last you 3 months. They are normal size for fish oil pills and are easy to swallow. They are yellow in color and smell slightly lemony. They do contain lemon oil to help with flavor. They mostly don't taste like anything, but there is a bit of lemon aftertaste. The oil is purified and mercury free. It comes from Icelandic fish. It doesn't say what type. I did not have any burps with these. I received this item for free in exchange for my honest review. #omega3
