Barbecue Skewers Set - LIFETIME GUARANTEE - Stainless Steel Wide BBQ Kabob Sticks - 10 Inch Flat Metal Shish Kabab with Food Remover Disc for Grilling - Brazilian Kebab Rotisserie Maker by Cave Tools

Summer time... the time when the grill comes out and the smell of barbecuing is in the air. Everything goes on to the grill, from steak, seafood, chicken, veggies and more! From every flavor of spice to every sauce, the food is great!


One of the funnest foods to barbecue is shish kabobs! Where anything goes while you mix and match. Kabobs are famous around the world.


As Wikipedia puts it: 

Kebab (also American kabob) is a term in English for several types of food. The word originated in the Middle East and is also common in other languages worldwide, with numerous spellings and variants. It has different definitions in different varieties of English, and in different cultures.

In contemporary American and British English, a kebab is a common dish, consisting of a skewer with small pieces of meat or seafood, together with vegetables such as onions, tomatoes, and bell peppers. Also known as shish kebab or sometimes shashlik, kebabs are customarily prepared in homes and restaurants, and are usually cooked on a grill or barbeque. The word kebab may also be used as a general term in English to describe any similar-looking skewered food, such as brochette, satay, souvlaki, yakitori, or numerous small chunks of any type of food served on a stick. This is different from its use in the Middle East, where shish (Turkish: şiş) is the word for skewer, while kebab comes from the Persian word for grilling.


The most common tools for skewers for the kabob is bamboo or wood, these have to be soaked in water before use so they do not burn or catch fire, and they have to be replaced each time. But you can prevent this hassle by using 10" Stainless Steel Wide BBQ Kabob Sticks by Cave Tools to place your favorite mix of food pieces on.

Cave tools offers these 10" metal skewers that are flat so that your food doesn't slide around. They are dishwasher safe and easy to use. I love the food removal ring!! This ring is placed at the top so that when your food is done you can push it down and it slides your food down without ruining it. Especially great for veggies. Beats the normal fork or finger routine. The metal on these skewers does get hot so you will need tongs, gloves, or hot pads to remove the skewers from the grill.

They are a bit flexible but strong and will hold your food well. They wash up and store easily.

I used these with a variety of veggies and steak. The food cooked well and it all come off easily. I have to say we really enjoyed it. The great thing about kabobs is that you can build them to your liking. The kids love to add what they want. We just cut up a variety of veggies, fruit, and meats and they build away with their own designs and combinations.

So if you are tired of the regular burgers and hot dogs, step it up a bit with shish kabobs skewered onto Cave Tools Metal skewers.

Thanks to all who participated!    Keep following and watch for our future giveaways! 

MOTHERS' DAY GIVEAWAY!!

MOTHERS' DAY GIVEAWAY!!

By most dictionaries Mother means someone who gives birth, but I believe there is more to being a mother.  A Mother is someone who loves you, who nourishes, disciplines, nurtures, educates, encourages, and gives unconditional love.  She is selfless, sacrifices, and protects.  She is wisdom, she is a listener, and a giver.  

A Mother is not always one who gives birth to you, she may be the one who chose to raise you through adoption or fostering.  She could be someone you look up to and helps talk you through the hard times.

As a single mother, myself, I know that a mother can also be a coach, a father, and a friend.   A Mother goes through a lot of pain and fear for their children and they say a lot of prayers to keep their children safe.    A Mother also has to let go, and let their children grow up and learn things on their own when they get to the right age.  As painful as it can be watching your children grow up, a Mother has pride and joy in the accomplishments of their children.  

Mothers often second guess themselves and wonder if they did right by their kids.  When we see our teachings show through our children it can overwhelm our hearts, after all we did do something right!

Even though we should appreciate and celebrate our mothers daily, one day a year has been put aside to show our mothers how much we are grateful for what they have sacrificed and taught us.

In celebration of Mothers' Day on Sunday May 8, 2016 we are having a giveaway.  This rose and Cubic Zirconia heart ring will help us remember the beauty of our mothers and the heart they willingly gave to us through their love and kindness.   This ring comes in a choice of:
1:  White gold plated with blue heart in size 7 or 8
2:  Rose gold plated with red heart in sizes 7 or 8
3:  24k gold plated with red heart in sizes 7 or 8

There will be three winners.  The giveaway will go from April 28th to May 4, 2016 @ midnight MDT.  Prizes will be shipped priority so that you can receive your ring by Mothers' Day.   The ring will be shipped with a heart ring box and organza bag.   Enter and share!

Colored Pencils: Artist-72 Premium Art Pencils by Flat Water Products

Colored Pencils for Any Artist-72 Premium Art Pencils-Best Smoothest Pencils for Adult Coloring Books-Coloring Pencils Great Wet or Dry-Free Tools and Accessories-Unconditional Manufacturers Guarantee by Flat Water Products

When I first learned they had come out with Adult coloring books I thought it was kind of a cray idea.  I wondered how coloring could ease stress and how could an adult really enjoy it? As I saw some of the pictures that my other friends were coloring, and of course the commercials on TV,  I liked what I saw.  These weren't just easy pictures with simple colors, these were intricate designs and vibrant colors.  I loved the look and decided to try it as I am always on the lookout for new stress relieving techniques.  

Books were simple enough to find, they were everywhere and pages were available in so many places.  So my next task was to find those vibrant colors!!   The regular coloring pencils just didn't cut it.  I wanted better, brighter, and bigger selection!  I tried some different kits but it still wasn't enough.   Until I found Flat Waters colored pencil kit.  

The one color I had a hard time finding was some true reds....this had them!  Selection was a big issue, but with 72 choices to choose from this kit had it!  Storage was another thing I needed and Flat Water provided that with their pencils, they came in their own storage bag that rolls up and keeps them safe!  

For most people some see colored pencils as, well, just that ....colored pencils.  But there is a huge difference between regular colored pencils and Premium soft core colored pencils.  Let me explain:

• These colored pencils go on really smooth, it is easy to get the whole area colored with and even color compared to regular coloring pencils. 
• 
  
• These pencils intensify vibrancy with layers.  They go on light and if you want a more intense color you simply color the spot again with the another layer and repeat until you get the deep color you want.  The more layers the more intense your color will be. 
• 
  
• They don't just stop there.  You can get just the colored look when using them dry, or you can apply water to your painting and get a watercolored blended look which gives your drawing a new level to its look.  This also helps in shading and achieving that perfect shading outward look. 
• 
  
• This kit offers even more than just the pencils and storage, It includes a quality eraser, sharpener, pencil extender, and 2 Free Blending Brushes.  All you need to make you drawing look like a real work of art. 
• 
  
• The Storage bag holds all 72 pencils and your extra items.  It is easy to carry and folds down to a small enough size that you could fit it in a larger purse.  Great for taking with you wherever you may go.  

Oh, and did I mention that it really does help stress.  It was amazing just coloring my first picture has me hooked.  I loved how I could change a black and white drawing to a vibrant colored one. I loved trying to figure out the colors to use and what colors worked next to others, or if I was going to color each small area differently or not.  You get to concentrating on the small spaces and the colors you want to use that it passes the time (perfect for those long wait times) and it helps focus your energies elsewhere.  You do have to have those perfect coloring pencils to really enjoy the art, after all , this isn't your child's art anymore this is the adult section!  You will find there is much more to coloring than just keeping in the lines! 

So want to reduce your stress?  Start with the right tools and order your coloring pencils by Flat Water Products today!

Froggy Tots Digital Baby Thermometer

Froggy Tots Digital Baby Thermometer - Best for Babies - Accurate, Easy Read - Celsius and Fahrenheit - Underarm & Ora​l - Waterproof, Easy to Clean - Flexible, Soft Tip - Perfect Baby Shower Gift

When you have children the worst thing is when they get sick.  Not only do we feel bad for them and their little bodies and minds trying to comprehend why they are sick, but also the fact that they have to deal with yucky medicines and getting poked or prodded so we can see how sick they are.   The one thing I hated the most when I was sick was fevers.  Not only did my mom make me go without a blanket and let me shiver the fever out of me, which did work, but the thermometers that was stuck in our mouths or that other place!  I hated having to hold those cold glass things in my mouth and was always afraid if they were put rectally that they would break you know where.  

Thank goodness times have changed.  The strip thermometer was invented, and then the ear thermometer, another form of the forehead thermometer, and yes, they even (thankfully) redesigned the oral and rectal thermometers.  They made them plastic, flexible, safe, and digital. 

Froggy tots took it one step further and designed a thermometer that looks like a cute frog!  Now your kids will not shirk to stick this in their mouth, and this can be used rectally, or even in their armpit (most kids favorite way).

The Froggy tots digital thermometer is:

• FAST, ACCURATE, SAFE & RELIABLE - Quick read. Results in 25 seconds. FDA and CE listed. Fever alarm. Clear, easy reading. Centigrade and Fahrenheit.
• SOFT FLEXIBLE TIP - No further distress to your baby. Soft, flexible tip for wriggling infants. Comfortable under the arm, under the tongue or rectally.
• EASY TO USE & CLEAN - Instruction leaflet. One button with beep function when reading complete. Easy change battery. Waterproof for easy cleaning.
• 100% SATISFACTION- 1 year product warranty. 100% satisfaction, money back guarantee. 

So I run fevers often still, just not as high as when I was a kid, so I tested this on myself...orally.

The first thing I did was read the instructions.  They were a bit vague.  There was not a time alotted for temperature taking and it didn't explain how to change the temp from Celsius, which it is set at, to Fahrenheit.  The beeps it is supposed to give off are so low I can't even hear them.  

So to address these I had to go to the Amazon page.  

1:  You should have temperature results in 25 seconds.

2:  To change the temp from Celsius to Fahrenheit you hold the power button about 4 sec. 

I have asked about making the beeps louder and have yet to see this question addressed. 

I did find that the thermometer was flexible and comfortable in my mouth, and the temperature was accurate (just a degree over normal for me....I am just hot that way LOL).  It is really easy to clean and there is a storage case to keep over the thermometer tip to protect. 

All in all I think this is a really cute way to get your kids temperature when they are sick or feel hot.  It is safe, sturdy, and effective.

ACEVIVI Professional-Quality Flat Iron Hair Straightener

ACEVIVI Professional-Quality Flat Iron Hair Straightener with Temperature Control, Ceramic Tourmaline Plates, Ionic Anti-Static (Black) from ACEVIVI

As a kid I had the straightest hair, and I mean the straightest, and in the time when curly hair was in style.   Isn't that the way hair goes...it's own way!  So I permed and permed my hair.  As I got older I learned techniques, like the Aqua Net overload and the aerosol can wings!  That was until I put myself through cosmetology school, and learned the "right" techniques.

I still permed and I added color throughout the years.  Over time my hair started to go wavy and then even more curly, without the perm.  Problem is that now days the style is straight hair, which my hair has decided is not it's style, now that it is curly!  

Thank goodness someone made straight (flat) irons!!  The one technique I never learned, and will never use, is taking the clothes iron to your hair on the ironing board.  Not happening! The flat irons made for hair is a total life saver.  

I have tried several flat irons and I haven't had many that I didn't like but I have had those that seem to miraculously turn off on their own while I am straightening my hair.  If it wasn't turning off the temp would lower.  Come to find out where the buttons were my fingers kept hitting and that caused it to take longer doing my hair. 

I think that is why I love the Acevivi Flat Iron, the on/off is a switch that is on the inside of the handles.  The temp control is also on the inside and is easy to adjust.  My fingers will not be able to trick the temp or turn off the iron on me again!  When you turn on the iron there is a little red light that goes on and when the iron reaches the temp you have set the light turns green letting you know the iron is ready.  This iron heats up to 230 C (450 F) which is great because for my hair the hotter the better to keep it straight.  

I also love the fact that there is a cross hatch pattern on the handles, it adds a grip for easier holding.   Considering I have Fibromyalgia, Seizures, and Carapal tunnel (yeah I am a mess LOL), some days holding a flat iron can be a task and I have had many days where I have dropped my smooth handled ones.  I find that this cross hatch pattern it gives me a better grip and helps me from dropping the iron so bad.   The iron is well balanced in weight and is light, this too helps.  

The tourmaline plates create a really smooth and silky look that I have to admit looks good on my hair!  The cord doesn't get tangled up while using making greater ease in usage.  I really enjoy using this iron and highly recommend it if you are looking for a nice smooth look for your hair.

Professional Tattoo Gun and Tattoo Kit

Professional Tattoo Gun Tattoo Kit Tattoo Power Supply/ Colors Tattoo Ink Tattoo Needles Tattoo Supplies MGT-27 from Dragon Hawk

I am a fan of tattoos, I admire the art and talent that goes into them.  I myself have two tattoos.  My oldest son, Mitch, has a few tattoos and my youngest, Austin, wants a tattoo.   Mitch has learned to do tattoos and has some really good talent.  We keep bugging him by telling him that he needs to get into the business, and while he refuses, well.. we can reap the rewards with just the cost of supplies.  

As a product reviewer I often find the best way to get something you want or need is to gain it to review.  Considering I need my tats refreshed and Austin (no worries he is 19yrs!) wants one this kit came at the perfect time!  It is the perfect way to pay Mitch back for his tattoo work.  

When the tattoo kit came in we sat down with Mitch and he went through the box seeing what was in the kit and explaining what each piece does.  He was quite impressed that it had so many items.  

The first thing was putting together the two cylinders guns, this consists of putting together the needle, grip and a barrel.  Then you add this to the gun with the nipple/grommet, o rings and an elastic band.   Next connect the clip cord prongs to your needle.   We did find some glue residue on one of the cylinders, which should be able to be cleaned off. 

At this time you can hook up the foot pedal to the power box, which is usually the inside aux. The clip cord attached to your needle goes into the outer aux.   At this time you can adjust the front spring by adjusting the contact screw.  This can sometimes help adjust the vibration and then you can adjust the speed on your control box to how you are comfortable using your gun.  We did find out that if you adjusted the contact screw too much on these they won't work.  So it is trial and error on adjusting to where you like it. 

After we got the machine and guns assembled we tested it by tattooing a simple line on Austin's leg so he could get a taste of what it feels like.   Austin is funny when he is unsure of something because he freaks out, won't stop talking, and laughs uncontrollably.  But he dealt with it just fine. 

This kit comes with ink, it is not a high value ink so it may wear off considerably fast.  You will receive different shaders and liner needles, a stand for your ink cups, gloves, tips, and more.  

Since the ink is not the best Mitch decided to toss it out and we will resume tat work when I can acquire some high quality ink!   Only the best to last!

For a stater kit this is great to practice with and learn.  It will help you get the hang of putting your guns together and more.   For the cost it may be worth it to start with.

iRULU eXpro X1a 9 Inch Quad Core Tablet

iRULU eXpro X1a 9 Inch Quad Core Tablet PC, Google Android 4.4 Kitkat, 1024*600 Resolution, 8GB Nand Flash(Black)

 In this age of technology there is an ever growing advancement of tablet, phones, laptops, PC's, and so much more.  Along with the growth there are many different prices, models, and specs that can really get confusing.  We want the best for our money, but where do we start and are we really getting what we pay for?  Should we pay higher prices for trusted name brands, or should we try some new names out there and lower priced items?  Are they worth it?

We have a plethora of questions and doubts.  That is where product reviews really come in handy.  Reviewers have tried and tested the items and put them through whatever tests they can think of to see how well they work. 

I have had one such opportunity lately with the iRulu eXpro X1a 9" Tablet.   Long name but low price.   I have tried several tablets over the past few years and have found that some only last a short time, while others last longer.  I have learned other essential information such as which DC connection lasts longer and the difference between dual and quad core.  Now that is not saying that I know everything.  I am far from that kind of knowledge, but if you are not a techy kind of person then hopefully the things I do know will help.  

The eXpro Tablet is 9" of really nice color and screen that shows your videos and movies really clear. We did find that we needed to tip the screen just a little away from us, not straight up and down (yeah that is how I watched it first),  to get the ultimate picture.  It almost has a 3d effect, I am not sure if that is meant to be or not but sometimes it is kind of cool.   Our Screen felt a little rougher than other screens and it did scratch easy, so please get a screen protector for the screen.  This did not mar the picture or how well the tablet worked, but just something I noticed.  

The tablet is a good weight, like some of the really good tablets out there.  The case is sturdy and protects the sensitive technology inside well.  I have had some cases that have felt like really cheap plastic, not this one!  

On the outside you will find the power button on the top right side of the tablet ( the narrow side). You will also find on this side the aux plug in,  the micro sd card slot, a micro usb slot, and a dc input.  

 Now this tablet come with a micro usb cord, but not a power adapter, although it is very compatible with many other micro to usb cords you could have to other technology.  This does not come with a DC cord and I highly recommend that you do not use that method to charge.  The DC cords are round and are the cheaper forms of charging but are the ones that seem to break inside the tablet the easiest due to a prong that connects to the cord.   Use the micro USB and your power supply will hold up longer for your tablet.  You can also use this to transfer information from your tablet to your PC via the USB.  

To turn on your tablet hold the power button for a few seconds, to turn it off you do the same and then choose from the options that pop up.  If your tablet goes into sleep mode just click your power button once. 

The tablet has 8GB of memory, minus some for the apps already downloaded on the app, and you can add a micro SD card up to 32GB for more memory.  This is highly recommended so you can enjoy the full use of your tablet and apps. 

On the wide end of the tablet you will find a long button that controls the volume and a shorter button that is a "home" button.  The volume button is self explanatory but you need to push on the right side to lower the volume and the left side to raise the volume.  For me this is backwards as on my phone it is the opposite way.   The home button will take you out of any app you may be in and back to the home page of the tablet. 

The sound is not very high on tablets so I do recommend to use headphones for best sound quality of this tablet.   

This tablet has a front and back camera.  With the camera you can do video on front camera and picture.  On the back camera you can take pictures with better resolution, and you can also do panoramic pictures.  The panoramic is a fun way of taking pictures that do not fit all in the screen. You move the camera VERY slowly from one side to the other and the camera will put it all in one picture.  It is almost a fisheye view but fun none the less.  There are other options and settings that I suggest you just play with and see what you like and to get the hang of it.  

We did have some problems with downloading from Google Play, but my son was testing this first and I believe he may have downloaded something that messed it up.  We were able to fix it by resetting the setting back to factory setting and this has improved the speed and we are also able to download the apps without a problem.  How to do this is explained in the users guide that this comes with.  

On one last note, I have found that this seller is really great to work with.  If you have questions they will answer and help in anyway they can.   With every product you look into please make sure you check out the seller feedback, the reviews, and the warranty to make sure you are getting the best deal out there.  I have been quite impressed with this tablet and company and look forward to using this for my movie and gaming fun.  I hope you will too!
