Preparing Cold Brew Coffee
I received this product for review purposes. All opinions are my own.
I prepare cold brew coffee using the Willow & Everett Coffee Maker. This coffee maker contains a mesh filter.
A pitcher of cold brew coffee can be prepared by adding the coffee grounds to the filter, adding water, and letting the coffee sit in the fridge for a day.
I really liked this coffee maker. The design is stylish and modern.
The only problem I found with the coffee maker was that after the coffee is done and the filter is removed, the lid moves around and makes it difficult to pour the coffee.
The solution is just to wash the filter and seal the coffee maker with both the filter and the lid.
The filter has a rubber ring that binds to the glass of the pitcher and the lid sits comfortably on top of the filter.
The only opening left is the v pour.
The walls of the pitcher are also made of thin glass so it is important to be careful of it breaking.

Exercising with Live Infinitely Stability Ball
I received this product for review purposes. All opinions are my own.
I have been exercising with the Live Infinitely stability ball and I must say that I am really enjoying myself.
At first it was very difficult maintaining my balance and getting the hang of it but once I got over that hurdle I have found this new routing an exciting challenge.
When I first received my stability ball I had trouble inflating it to get to size. I recommend checking out this website: http://www.liveinfinitely.com/pages/forever-flex-bonuses
They also have some workout videos that can't hurt to follow along while you adjust and create your new workout routine.
This stability ball comes with an air pump so all you will need to get started is a measuring tape to measure the size of the ball.
The Live Infinitely stability ball is advertised as been burst tested and able to hold 220 lbs. I am nowhere near that size so I cannot attest for these claims but from what I can tell the ball feels sturdy and the air valve securely held.

TweetsTech Tempered Glass For iPhone
I received this product for review purposes. All opinions are my own.
The TweetsTech tempered glass screen protector is made of a thick material that advertises to protect against both scratches and shattering.
The product came alongside a pair of wipes and adhesive stickers to remove oil and dust before applying the screen protector.
The wet wipe I received came dried out so that required me to go out of my way to find another one.
Applying the screen protector was fairly easy. It required a bit of equilibrium to get it just right. One thing I was very happy about was that I did not have to deal with those pesky air bubbles. I think this was because the screen protector is firm solid.
One thing that upsets me is that the product is advertised as being smudge and fingerprint resistant. Which is so not the case.
Overall I liked the TweetsTech screen protector. It was fairly easy to install and it seem to be doing the job protecting against scratches.

ROCK iPhone case Review
I received this product for testing purposes. All opinions are my own.
Based on the box the case came in, this particular style is called the Royce Case by ROCK.
The back of the case is made up of a bendable silicone material.
The sides are made up of a more firm and thin plastic like material.
As you can see in the picture the silicon back cover also extends to the sides.
The case also provides protection for the power and volume buttons.
The product I ordered was described as Navy Blue but the one I received is a metallic gray. I looked at the pictures of other reviewers and it seems like everyone received gray cases.
Overall I liked that the case was bendable and easy to install. I didn't appreciate advertising and shipping a wrongful item and I feel like the material used to cover the sides of the case is somewhat flimsy.
I would recommend this case for style purposes and to protect against mild scratches.
The Royce Case by ROCK can be purchased here.

Making Ball Shaped Ice
I received this product for testing purposes. All opinions are my own.
Wise Palace sent me a silicon mold to create sphere shaped ice. The silicon material was very flexible, which made removing the ice from the mold fairly easy.
The mold consists on 2 components that are snapped together to create the upper and lower portions of the ice ball.
The upper component has a small orifice where water can be purred in. I found that this small opening required a perfect aim to be able to fill the mold with limited spillage.
I also found the hard way that if too much water is filled in the mold will end up pushing it out during freezing and this spillage will create a sort of hook making the removal of the balls from the mold difficult.
The area where the two components snap together also produces a mid-line. So the ice comes out looking like Saturn instead of producing a perfect sphere. This area melts fairly quickly because the ice is so thin around that line so the problem is quickly corrected.
The ice maker kit also comes with a tray of silicon coasters that I found very handy.
Overall I enjoyed drinking my liquids with the ball shaped ice. It was a fun alternative to the boring ice cubes.

AS Natural Vitamin C 20% Serum Review
The AS Naturals Vitamin C 20% serum is an anti-aging formula that promotes the production of new skin cells.
Following the instructions on the bottle, I applied the product after washing and drying my face.
The product was easy to apply and spread. The consistency of the formula was not too thick so it was easier to apply before it dried out.
The serum is clear in color.
After applying a layer, the serum was quickly absorbed into the skin.
I have used this product for approximately 10 days. I noticed that my skin was dry but it did not flake as much.
Overall I liked this product a lot and I would recommend you to try it out.
You can order the AS Naturals Vitamin C 20% serum here for $8.39.
