VeeSap LifeStyle Grill Brush Review


Grilling season is in full swing!  If your family is anything like ours then most of our meals are now being cooked on the grill.  With that increased use comes increased dirt.  We have purchased many grill brushes over the years and have never really been satisfied.  We were either scared of bristles coming out into our food or it just never really scrubbed enough.  I was contacted to review The VeeSap LifeStyle Grill brush and it has been a real hit with hubby!

The VeeSap LifeStyle Grill brush has a durable and twisted wire surface that will help you to quickly remove the burnt on residue, making cleaning your grill as easy as it has ever been. The spiral bristles penetrate between and through the grill grates, leaving your grill clean and unscratched without having to burn your hands.  With the new and improved woven wire design, worry no more about bristles landing in your food.

This brush can be used on all grill makes including Weber, Broil King, Brinkman, Broil-Mate, Napoleon Gourmet Grills and ALL Grill Types, especially Porcelain, Stainless steel, Infrared, charbroil gas and charcoal grills.  With the easy to clean brush, you will be able to scrape that stubborn grease off of your grill without scratching it.
The brush came in a storage bag and was well wrapped before opening it.  It worked very well on our Weber grill.  This is my husband's baby so he is very careful about what touches it but he was impressed with the awesome handle length and comfort of use.

The handle is 18'' inches long, and had an ergonomic weather resistant handle design. The handle is long enough to be used by both hands. The VeeSap LifeStyle Grill brush is designed to clean all the accumulated grease in all those tough areas without adding strain or pressure on your wrists or burning you knuckles!

 Another great thing about this grill brush is that it is easy to clean and can fit easily in your dishwasher.  You can sit down sooner to eat with your family knowing that it took you less time to clean the grill with 3 times the scrubbing power.

The sturdy handle and innovative bristle design will extend the life-time of your grill and save you the hassle of buying a new one.  They even have a 100% money back guarantee + 5 year warranty + free replacement guarantee.

Blockit RFID Blocking Sleeves Review

If you have a credit or debit card, there is a new digital security threat you need to be aware of.  An estimated one-third of all existing Visa, MasterCard and American Express cards have an embedded radio frequency identification (RFID Chip) that carries financial and personal data- which digital thieves can steal in seconds. It's called DIGITAL PICKPOCKETING!  Using digital readers they buy off the Internet for about $100, unscrupulous people- without ever touching you- can steal your name, account number, card expiration date and other information off your card, while it's tucked away safely in your wallet.

I received the purple and white card holders.  They are slim and not bulky in my wallet.  My wallet's card pockets are too tight for them to fit in but I have a pocket on the side under them that they fit in.  I have had my information stolen 2x and my parents have once so these are a must!!
  • Protect your family and Friends from Credit Card Fraud, Identity Theft and Digital Pickpocketing.
  • 6 fashionable designs are Color Coded Making it Easy to Locate the Right Card, Every Time.
  • Fits in your wallet:  Your Cards Fit Snuggly Inside Plus They Fit Easily in all Wallet Card Slots.
  • Exclusive technology:  BLOCKIT 3-Layer Construction for Maximum Protection
Secure your financial and personal data now!

Glow2Go Self Tanning Towelettes Review


I was contact my Thermalabs to review their new innovative tanning towelettes.  I have tried SO MANY different kinds of tanning products but never towelettes.  I am so glad I did!  I really like these so far.

The actual towelette is nice and big and had plenty of product on it for 1 leg.
Below on the left is the first day.  I used 1 towelette on 1 leg.  There is a slight difference and as you can see I'm starting out pretty pale!  I wanted it to be darker so you can see below on the right that by using another towelette the following day gave me a really nice tan color.

It has a slight self tanner smell but not overly strong.  I made sure to thoroughly exfoliate before using the product the first day but the second day I did not for fear of rubbing off what was already there.  I also did not shave 24 hours before using the product.  In the past I have used self tanners right after shaving and the product seems to stick in my hair follicles leaving me with tiny dots, not cool.  By holding off on shaving this helped that issue a lot.

This box of Glow2Go comes with 20  individually wrapped premium towelettes which are perfect for sunless tanning at home or on the go.  Take the towelettes with you on the road and when you travel and you don’t have to carry a big self-tanning lotion bottle.

They even created this special box to also help with storage! The super-saver box comes with a special ‘press to open’ area that will enable easy pulling of one towelette at a time – WITHOUT opening the entire box! This will enable you to keep it in your closet under other products and stay organized. (I realized this AFTER I had already popped the top open...) Yes, they really do try to think about EVERYTHING…

Each towelette is concentrated with their innovative self-tan formula that will produce:
• Quick
• Even
• Streak free
• Natural looking tan in less then 4 hours

To make sure you get the best out of your tanning experience, they will also send you their best selling guide “Self Tan Secrets” that is packed with all the facts and secrets you need to know about the wonderful world of self-tanning! This 50 page guide was researched and written by Thermalabs formula technicians.

They also give you 100% money back guarantee!  They know you’ll never need it, but if for some reason you’re not 1000% amazed by the results – send them the box back and get a full refund!

Right now you can grab a box of Glow2Go towelettes for 50% off, only $16.99 on Amazon with FREE Prime shipping!  Get your tan on now!

Even though I received this product heavily discounted my opinions are my own and I will always be honest good or bad.
