AYL Silicone Heat Resistant Grilling BBQ Gloves Review #SelectCulinary

Disclaimer: I received the product described for free or reduced cost to facilitate this review. All opinions are my own.

I cannot tell you how many times I have been cooking in my over and had a hot pad slip out of my hand or an oven mitt slide right off my hand. There have also been countless times that I have used a hot pad and bumped the top of my hand on an oven rack. OUCH!

When I originally was given the opportunity to try out the silicone heat resistant gloves, I had no expectations. Once I used them, all of my oven mitts went in the trash and all of my hot pads turned into trivets for my table.

I instantly fell in love. They slide on just like a glove and protect your hands from hot objects. No sliding off my hands and no bumping exposed parts of the hands on oven racks with these little babies!

Oh did I forget to mention that these are dishwasher safe? OMG! Heaven! No need to worry about getting greasy goo in your laundry. Rinse them off in your sink and toss them on the top rack of the dish washer and you are good to go. Well, you may want to actually run your dishwasher too.


The only downfalls I could find:
They come in orange
They may not fit really large hands

There you go. If you don't have giant hands and do not care that these amazing gloves are orange, these belong in your kitchen!

Vitamin C Serum Review #vitamincserum

Disclaimer: I received the product described below for a reduced cost or at no cost to facilitate this review. All opinions are my own.


As I get older, the change in my skin scares me. Yes, I said it. The wrinkles, the lines, the dark spots, they are all there.

I have tried many products that claim benefits, most of which I never experience.  So I thought that I would try something new. Why not a Vitamin C serum?

I used the Naturalico Vitamin C serum each morning and night before bed. I made sure to apply a thin layer to a clean dry face and allow the serum to thoroughly dry before going to bed or applying my normal make-up routine.

After two weeks of daily use, here is what I noticed.
  1. More even skin tone. It was Not drastic, but I figured if I continued to use the product, the over evenness would get better.
  2. Healthy glow. My skin no longer had its normal dull appearance. I now have a healthy all over glow to my face. As a younger woman, I would have disliked this look, but as I get older and the natural oils fade, this is a look that I aim for now.
  3.  Minimal reduction in fine lines. Yes, just minimal. In all fairness, this is only after 2 weeks of use and to see real results, the product should be used for 6 to 8 weeks. Maybe with continued use, I can see fewer lines. Wouldn't that be nice?
I did not notice any reduction in the couple of brown spots that I have developed from sun exposure over the years, but again, I remain hopeful that these may fade, even slightly, with continued use.

100 Glow Stick Bracelets Review.


Disclaimer: I received the product described below at no charge, however all opinions are my own and I only recommend products that I feel are suitable for my family and readers.


Who does not love glow sticks? Pull one out, crunch the thin glass layer, and you can have loads of fun.
With this package of 100 glowstick bracelets the fun lasts for days! Each container has five different colors to choose from and each color is super bright!

My kids and I ran around the house for hours shutting off the lights and making colorful trails of light. By the way, I think I had more fun than the kids.

These are also a must for outdoor use. Are you going out on a camping trip soon? Maybe you are going to an outdoor bbq now that the weather is starting to change. Grab your glowsticks! They can help you locate your kids in the dark to ensure that they do not get lost.

Get creative, find a way to use them other than the traditional bracelet or necklace! I promise you will find yourself having just as much fun as your kids.

Deluxe Aneroid Sphygmomanometer Review #AneroidSphygmomanometer

Disclaimer: I received the product below for free or reduced price to facilitate this review. All opinions are my own.



For those of you that do not know, a Sphygmomanometer is more commonly called a blood pressure cuff. They are great to have around the house for those loved ones that need to have their blood pressure checked on a regular basis.

Of course there are the electric blood pressure cuffs out there. But, let me tell you, as a health care provider, I prefer not to use electric cuffs on all of my patients.  Yes, a manual sphygmomanometer takes a little more time, but know that electric blood pressure cuffs can provide inaccurate readings on people with heart abnormalities such as atrial fibrillation. 

TheSantamedical Adult Deluxe Aneroid Sphygmomanometer with black cuff and Carrying case has

1. Precision crafted manometer exceeds industry standards for accuracy
2. Nylon cuff

 Not only is this an easy to use and read sphygmomanometer, but it is more than affordable for those that need to check up on their family members health regularly. If you think that it would be better to spend more money on the electric cuffs, you may be surprised at how much more you will really be paying. 

If you do not know how to take a blood pressure manually, seriously YouTube has a video for everything! Besides practicing is half of the fun.
