The Best Grilling Tools As Per My Grill Master



My husband, the household Grill Master, absolutely raves about this set.  Take that will a grain of salt, as he burns everything he cooks (ssshhhh).   The comes with four incredibly well-made utensils and a nylon carrying case that makes storage a breeze.



The first utensil is one that has come in very handy for our grilled BBQ chicken--a black silicone basting brush. It is nicely weighted, easy to grasp and stands up to the dishwasher. The rubber end bristles are soft and pliable and grab the sauce. Finally, the handle boasts a hole for easy hanging if you choose to do so.

The other items, tongs, a grilling fork and a large grilling spatula, are all a polished stainless steel and feature sleek handles. The fork and spatula also have easy-hang rings built in. The tongs offer the perfect resistance for lifting even heavy items, the fork features piercing times, and the spatula has a nice, beveled edge for getting under things that might stick.

The entire set is packaged in a black nylon zippered case. Inside the case, all the stainless utensils are velcroed in place. The zipper moves effortlessly, and the two nylon-webbing handles are reinforced for durability.

Overall, great grilling set that would make the perfect gift for the grill master in your home.

Note: I received a discount on this set in exchange for an honest review.

Makeup Brushes That Will Wow You!




Once you use these makeup brushes, you will wonder how you ever applied cosmetics without them. I received the set yesterday and used them immediately. I was actually excited this morning to apply my makeup and again put these to work.
The first thing you will notice when you receive them is the awesome case. It's a black, leather-look unit that snaps on either side to hold the top on securely. Inside, the brushes are enclosed in a cellophane bag. Inside the bag, each brush is again wrapped. These are very well protected!

The brushes themselves are well done--all natural hair and shed-free, they are uber soft and feel good against the skin. The handles are all wood and are easy to grasp. The ferrules are copper and are crimped tightly to ensure the hairs are secure.

The variety of brushes in the set is large--from foundation to eyeshadow, you will be covered. The fact that they are protected from dust and very portable when in the case is also a huge bonus, as I frequently travel.

Overall, I am happy to give them five gold stars for quality and functionality.

Another Bluetooth Speaker For Tunes On The Go!






The cliche that big things come in small packages is most certainly true in the case of this wireless Bluetooth speaker/mic combination. First, I love the size of this unit. It's small enough to tuck into my bag for use at the beach or in the break room at work. The portability was a huge factor in my decision to purchase. It's also lightweight, so no burdensome paperweight to lug. The fact that this is also a microphone is the third bonus here--I've used it to Skype AND to conference call and in both cases, the sound transmitted and received was equally incredible. It has button controls for volume and track choosing, and it has an on/off button to conserve the battery. It is completely plug and play and paired easily with my iPad Air 2.

The aesthetic of this speaker/mic is sleek and modern. The contrast between the copper casing and the black trim is at once elegant and sophisticated. It's perfect for more professional use, where neons and plastic of other brands can be a distraction.

Five big gold stars for a first rate speaker that goes everywhere with me! Highly recommended.
