|Review| SelpHbalance Digital pH Meter


-Note: I had a video review of this but after some problems with my laptop, I sadly ended up losing the file. I've had too busy of a schedule to be able to make another one. So for now, until I have the time to remake the video review, I'll be doing this text review instead. - 

 At first this thing was a little tricky to figure out, but after a few tries, I got the hang of it. So far, I haven't had to calibrate it and it seems pretty accurate from what I can tell. I tested it in different solutions and they seemed to register exactly what they should be according to a small chart in the instruction book. (I'm planning on getting another pH meter from another brand sometime soon, and I'll be testing the two pH meters against each other. ) 

It comes the the pH meter, which is in a nice teal, a carrying case, and 6 packets of buffer solution. (there are 3 different types of buffer solution.)You have to have the pH meter sitting in a cup of whatever solution you're testing, or if you're testing pool water you can just stick it in your pool.
 It reads the pH level of the liquid pretty quickly (It never took more than 10 seconds for it to read any of the liquids) and as soon as you took it out of the liquid, it would go back to 0.
You can also use this in soil but I have yet to try that out, but I'll update my review when I do.
All in all I'm pretty satisfied with this product, but I still want to get another pH meter and compare them.

|Review| Powerspa 4-Setting Deluxe Hand Shower, Chrome

This is a really nice handheld shower head for the price. Previously, I only had a regular shower head but found it hard to rinse my hair with it, so I began searching for a shower head that would help me with that. I stumbled upon this shower head and despite it only having 4 settings, (I'm used to ones with 7 or more) I got it. The shower head is nice but the hose was really short and stiff. Luckily I had bought a couple, longer, shower hoses a couple weeks before so I ended up using one of those instead of the one provided. The shower head was quite lightweight and pretty easy to set up. The shower head has 3 water flow settings, regular, power rain, and massage (My favorite setting). It also has a feature I'd never seen in any other shower head, pause mode. Basically, the pause setting means that water flow is reduced to a trickle, so while you're lathering, or shampooing your hair, the water isn't running at full force, wasting water. This feature is pretty nice, but I don't exactly use it too often. The water pressure for this shower head is nice, but I have to admit, it could be a little better. All in all it's not a bad shower head for the price, and it's really helped me when I have to wash my hair.

|Review| Funcake 30 in 1 Cake Decorating Tips W/ Pastry Bags

I love this little set of cake decorating tips! It comes with 30 tips in a container, 2 silicone pastry bags, and 2 coupler rings that have made decorating A LOT easier. The tips are metal and very well made, and the icing comes out with ease. The organizer they come in is nice, but personally I think it's way too big for the tips. You can practically put two tips in each little section, so I guess it might be nice if you already have some tips and you want to add those to this set, or if you're planning on getting more tips in the future and want to store everything together. The silicone pastry bags are really nice, and much better than the plastic one's I used to get in the past. With these pastry bags I don't have to worry about the bag tearing. So far I haven't had any problems with this set, but I'll update my review if I do!

|Review| Keliwa 12 Cup Muffin / Cupcake Baking Pan

I've owned silicone muffin pans before, but they are now getting old and I was looking for a replacement, when I saw this. I was a bit disappointed when I realized that the depth of the cups were BARELY an inch deep, unlike my last pan which 1 1/2 - 2 inches deep. I learned that when using this pan, nothing seemed to rise very high. So if you're making something that doesn't really need to rise, or if you don't care about your cupcakes or muffins rising really high (Like me), then this shouldn't be too much of a problem for you. Also, unless you use a muffin/cupcake liner in this pan, I recommend waiting until the food is warm, or cool before trying to remove it from the pan. All in all it's a pretty okay muffin pan for the price.
