The CDs allow people to learn spanish by repetition versus traditional methods of paper and pencil. I wanted to review the cds to improve my spanish. I have not taken spanish since high school. I struggled more in spanish 2 and 3. The lessons completed so far have been fun. I have learned new words, in addition to learning to conjugate, which I struggled with in high school.The lessons focus on repetition. When you are ready to move to the next lesson, pop in the next CD.

What I did was burn the first few CDs to the computer. When I master those, I will burn the next few.

Nail Cones Product and Video Review (Tomoson)

I received Nail Cones In exchange for honest review from Tomoson. Nail Cones helps protect the sides of nails when polishing them. The cones come in three sizes. For me, the nail cones were easy to apply on some nails and harder on others. You do have to discern which size to put on each nail. Check out the official nail cones tutorial, in addition to my video applying nail cones for the first time. I still had a little polish on the side because I struggled with positioning the nails.

I wanted to review the cones because I struggle with polishing nails without making too many smudges or paint on the sides. I have invested in ta da drops from Julep to dry nails quicker because I am impatient (more smudges), start over again.

In the video, I did one hand with nail cones and one without. I also polished my nails to determine if there is a difference between using the cones or not using the cones.

The nail cones are 5.99, sold through paypal. You get four sheets of 15 for a total of 60 nail cones.

Argan Oil: Quick Guide to the best uses of Argan Oil by Ana Valeri (Tomoson)

This post contains Amazon Affiliate Links.


I received Argan Oil: Quick Guide to Best Uses of Argan Oil for Hair, Skin and Nails, in exchange for honest review from Tomoson. The book was written by Ana Valeri.


A few weeks ago, I was asked to do a review of Argan Oil. I never heard of Argan oil before and I said yes to the review. I didn't know Argan oil had so many uses: Hair, Skin, and Nails for example.

I learned that Argan Oil comes from a tree, instead of a plant or bush. Argan Oil comes from pressing and grinding the tree's nuts. Pressing and grinding the nuts/kernels is an intensive process. Then, the oil needs filtering. Of course, some countries have technology to press the oil faster.

The book also teaches about the differences between pure Argan oil versus something, which claims to be Argan oil.

Next, the book discusses the benefits of Argan Oil, such as heals scars; moisturizes skin; treats sunburn; and helps with skin inflammation. Argan Oil can heal hair from heat damage and frizzies. The oil can also strengthen nails.

Then, the book provides recipes, you can make using Argan oil, such as a facial mask.

I have been using Argan Oil in my scalp to help moisturize; on my nails to help soften my cuticles, and on my skin as a moisturizer.

Catchy Clips Review (Tomoson)

 I received Catchy Clips in exchange for honest review.

I wanted to review Catchy Clips because I keep losing my keys. Sometimes, the boys lose the keys because they like the noise. I also have to hide my keys but forget where I put them up at. I only have one key, the mail box key. My mother told me years ago, since I receive the brunt of the mail, then I should be entrusted with the mail box key. Then, she lost hers, so for the longest, I had the sole mail box key in the house.

The clip comes in two parts: a clip, which goes inside your purse, pocket, bag, backpack, wallet, etc. Then, the keyring part, which goes on your keys or store cards, with the hole in them. Each piece has a magnet attached.

Instead of digging through my purse or looking on the bookshelf or in the closet for my keys, I can attach them to the clip. I liked the Catchy Clips. I haven't had any issues with the clip since it arrived.

 Product Review

I received a copy of Pearl Mountain Technology's Publisher Plus software. The software is available for Mac OS. The software has similarities to Microsoft Publisher or the templates in Microsoft Word. The software allows you to create flyers, brochures, and other documents. I saw some new templates such as a child care flyer or a job posting, which was very neat :-).

The software was easy to use. You just have to play around it with. Some features were a little harder to find and adjust, but I figured it out. Add your own images. Adjust the backgrounds, colors, and clip art. I created a birthday card for my great-niece, who turns 2 this weekend.







Video Review (Editing Phase. Will provide once finished). Show the process I used to create the birthday card.

Solid Cordz Premium HDMI Cords Review (Tomoson)

Disclosure: I got this product as part of an advertorial. This post contains Amazon Affiliate Links

I reviewed the HDMI 2 Pack - PREMIUM SERIES GOLD Plated 6 ft High Speed HDMI® Cable with Ethernet (latest Edition) 4K Support - 3D Gaming Support - Xbox & PS3 Compatible by Solid Cordz®, in exchange for honest review from Tomoson.

I wanted to review the cords because of my family. Ever since my mother bought her first HD TV, she has gone through HDMI cord after HDMI cord. From a simple fray to a more complex connectors coming off. I have no idea how much she paid for them, but they was not worth it.

I just found one the other day, tangled up in laundry. I knew I would have me a HD, Flat Screen TV, with a Roku or Chrome Cast or even a DVD player and I needed quality HDMI cords. This is why I wanted to review these cords.

The cords was easy to hook up for someone, who is a non-techie. I swapped out my niece's cords on her tv with the solid cordz. Everything was set up within minutes. Now that I have my flat screen TV, I can go buy the DVD player for all these movies, so Brad doesn't have to use the PC to watch his movies all of the time. The cordz are sold on Amazon. They are prime-eligible.
