Craft Skill - Liquid Chalk Markers

These chalk markers are great! There are so many different colors for any occasion. They can be used on glass or any non-porous surface. They wipe off fairly easily, a damp cloth works best. They would not be weather proof, so if yoy want to use them on car windows check the forecast first.

They come with 6 extra tips, as these types of tips tend to fray over time. The tips can also be reversed to be used as a chiseled point for more of a calligraphy look.

I really like these, I want to draw on everything now!

I received this product at a discount in exchange for my honest review. 

CMS 500DL Generation 2 Fingertip Pulse Oximeter Oximetry Blood Oxygen Saturation Monitor

I received the CMS 500DL Generation 2 Fingertip Pulse Oximeter Oximetry Blood Oxygen Saturation Monitor for FREE! (Regular price $18.49) I'm not really sure why I need this...but why not? Maybe I'll see if it works on animals at work, who knows. 

It seems to work very well. It gets my heart rate and SPO2 (oxygen saturation) within a few seconds. It's accurate on the heart rate, so I assume the SPO2 is also accurate. It came with 2 AAA batteries which is nice because nothing comes with batteries anymore. It also came with a silicon cover which doesn't really serve much purpose. This would be a good product for anyone with heart or lung problems to test their values throughout the day. 

The regular price seems fair for a monitor that seems accurate (The reading matched my pulse) If I needed one of these I would probably pay full price for it. For free it was definitely a good deal!

DBPOWER 720p Wireless Network IP Camera Smart Cam

Out of all the deals so far I was most excited about this one. Because I go away most weekends I like to check in on my cats. I used to do that with auto-answer on Skype and my webcam, but now that I live in a bigger place my computer doesn't have a view of my entire apartment...so that doesn't work. 

I received the DBPOWER 720p Wireless Network IP Camera Smart Cam for FREE! (Regular price $59.98) Perfect! I won't go into major details here, but it's a pretty decent little cam. It doesn't need to be wired to my computer, it connects to my network wirelessly. It just needs to be plugged in to power. I can monitor it from an app on my phone or tablet and I can see/hear everything in my entire living room. I can even turn on the microphone and talk to my kitties while I'm away (this scared the crap out of them....maybe I won't) It has pretty decent video quality as well as very good night-vision. The cam comes with everything you need, including screws to mount it to the wall if you want (I did) It does not come with an SD card, but that is not required.

The downfall to this cam is the instructions. They suck. It's clearly an Asian product with the instructions translated....very poorly. So not only are they limited, the English is very broken. Luckily I was able to figure most of it out, I'm not sure everyone would be able to though.

IP cameras can get pretty pricey. I think for the quality and functionality of this one the $60 price tag is not unreasonable. I would probably purchase this for that price. This was a great deal!

Strong Elastic Bed Sheet Fasteners Grippers Suspenders

I have a fairly thick mattress. Even my fitted sheets that are made for thick mattresses have trouble staying put. Perhaps it's the extra 3" memory foam topper...so comfy! I had looked in stores for a product similar to this and they were $10+ and looked cheap and flimsy. So when I saw the Strong Elastic Bed Sheet Fasteners Grippers Suspenders for $1 I had to give them a try. (Regular price $6.99) These fasteners are made with nice and thick elastic. The gripping part is very strong, but won't damage your sheets. They keep the sheets nicely in place. I would buy these for regular price, compared to others I've seen it is a fair price. Definitely a good deal. 

Art Naturals® Dead Sea Mud Mask

I received the Art Naturals® Dead Sea Mud Mask for $1 (Regular price $14.45) My only complaint with this product is the smell. It's fairly "perfumey". I would prefer a more natural scent. I wasn't able to leave it on my face because the scent was bugging my nose and it's still longering about an hour later. It's not a bad smell, just my personal preference. It did make my skin feel nice and soft and didn't irritate my skin at all. It takes some work to wash it off because it dries on and is quite thick. The tub is pretty big and a little goes a long way. The regular price seems fair considering how long it will last. Not sure if I can get over the scent though...so, an ok deal.

RFID Blocking Sleeve Set

I received the RFID Blocking Sleeve Set for $0.51 (Regular price $12.95) With a lot of cards now having the "tap to pay" feature, it is easier for a theif to gain access to your info just by standing near you. These sleeves block the radio frequency signal and keep your info safe. Any card that has the tap logo (below) should be kept in a sleeve like these. Passports also now use RFID and contain a LOT of sensitive info, so you should definitely use one of these for your passport! You can probably find these for cheaper than $12.95, but for me these were a good deal.

ArtNaturals Peppermint Oil

I received ArtNaturals Peppermint Oil for $1 (Regular price $10.95) This oil smells so good! It's not an offensive strong peppermint smell, its more of a sweet peppermint or spearamint. I'm very sensitive to strong odors and this does not get me sneezing at all! It will work well in my humidifier/diffuser I got earlier (hadn't planned to use it with oil but this smells so nice!) and I plan to use it in cold processed soap making. The bottle is huge and it came with both a regular lid and a nice glass dropper. The regular price is a good price for such a large bottle of oil, I would purchase it for full price. This was a great deal!
