AUINCUEY Hair Straightener Brush Reviewed By Jamie

As most of you know I have thick  finely textured, long wavy hair and I live in the hot, humid state of Florida so I am constantly battling frizzy, unruly hair. I've tried lots of products with varying degrees of success but I'm simply not willing to spend the amount of time it would take to flat iron my hair on an everyday basis besides I honestly don't like the way my hair looks flat ironed. I want my hair straight and frizz free but I also want it to have body and I don't feel like it has that after flat ironing. I had tried straightener brushes a few years ago when they first started becoming popular but I found them somewhat clunky and hard to handle and discontinued their use even though for the most part I liked the look they gave my hair. Recently I had an opportunity to try this straightener brush from AUINCUEY and decided to give straightener brushes another chance.

This brush comes beautifully packaged with a velvet bag for storing the brush in between uses and it includes a heat resistant glove to protect your hands.  It is not nearly as large and heavy as the first one I had, nor is it clunky or hard to use. The brush is much lighter, and it goes through my thick head of hair easily. It has a swivel cord which makes it much easier to use without getting tangled up. It comes with clear instructions which tell you based on your hair type the correct temperature to use it on in order to avoid damaging your hair.

I have been sick with an end of summer cold for almost 2 weeks now and have not felt like doing much but I had a wedding to attend yesterday and needed to look my best so I thought it would be a great day to try out this brush and I am so happy I did. It went through my hair smoothly and without tangling and it left my hair frizz free and straight but full of body and despite the threat of rain we had all day yesterday my hair stayed that way until I washed it.

If you thought straightener brushes were awkward and hard to use this brush will change your mind. For those of you who are interested in trying it out, you  can purchase it on Amazon at the following link: Auincuey Hair Straightener Brush.

ETEREAUTY 4 IN 1 FACIAL BRUSH REVIEWED BY JAMIE

I have been using my Etereauty face brush for a few months now and I absolutely love it. It may come as a surprise to some but I use it more than my clarisonic mia which cost me nearly 10 times as much and here is why:

1.  It includes multiple brush options and has 2 speeds.

2.  The size of the brush head is much smaller which allows me to clean smaller areas of my face such as around my eyes, nose, and lips with more precision. 

3.  After having had over 10 skin graft surgeries on my face after getting burned a few years ago my facial skin is much more delicate than it used to be and the soft brushes included with this set are perfect for cleaning my face without damaging my skin or causing pain.

4.  The silicone brush works well for gentle cleansing and applying creams and serums to my face.

5.  The transparent and bristle brush is soft and gentle enough for daily cleansing while the firmer pink and white brush head is excellent for exfoliating and deep cleaning my skin.

6.  The pumice stone pad does an excellent job at smoothing away rough skin on my heels and elbows. 

7.  It is quiet and discreet.

8.  It cost a fraction of what my clarisonic mia did and works just as well if not better.

I wanted to use this product for a few months first before I shared my review of it here in order to give it time to see how well it worked and if I liked it. I would definitely recommend it to anyone who wants an ultrasonic face cleaning brush that does a great job, without spending $125.00 or more. The only thing I wish this brush had that it doesn't is a rechargeable battery. Instead it does take 2 AA batteries, so I purchased rechargeable ones to use in mine.

WEE DEE Water Bottle Pump Review

I recently ordered this water bottle pump from Wee Dee to have on hand for the upcoming hurricane season. I usually purchase a number of the large 5 gallon bottles of water to have on hand in case of an emergency like a hurricane or some other natural disaster, but they are extremely heavy and difficult to pour from unless you have one of those expensive automatic water cooler dispensers to use them with. I don't have one of those and I'm not really interested in getting one for emergency use only, so this pump seemed like an inexpensive and compact solution that I could easily store away inside my  hurricane/emergency tote box. I generally keep a large plastic tote box packed year round with supplies that would be useful in an emergency like batteries, flashlights, first aid kit,  a radio,  and now this water bottle pump. It comes with the pump itself, a food grade silicone tube which you connect to the bottom of the pump and drop down into the bottle of water and a stainless steel tube which dispenses the water that you connect to the top of the pump. Wee Dee Water Bottle Pump

The best part is that this is not a manual water pump it has a rechargeable battery inside which powers the pump. The also include a USB charging cable which you simply connect to any USB wall or car charger to recharge. It will fully charge in 3 - 4 hours and one charge generally lasts about 30 days and will fully pump 4-5 5 gallon bottles of water before it requires recharging. Simply press the button on the top to dispense the water. If you press once and release it will dispense .16 of a gallon and if you hold the button for 3 seconds and release it will dispense water continuously until you press the button again to stop it.

It's completely portable and easy enough for children and the elderly to operate. Despite having purchased it for use during an emergency I can see it coming in handy at large family picnics or reunions. If you would like to purchase one for your family it is currently only $12.79 on Amazon and can be found at the following link:  Wee Dee Water Bottle Pump
