Mama’s Tub Time

categories: Reviews

MamatheFox is going to feature a fun and exciting bath or spa product each month!

As a mom I don’t get much alone time. Like ever. The time I do get alone is special and actually very cherished to me. I try to take 1 or 2 hours per week to myself. My children don’t sleep much (can I get an amen?!) so trying to take a moment to unwind is very important for my mental health. I know a few people who find things like these CBN Gummies Wholesale really help them feel calm and relaxed, but I’m not sure that they’re really my thing. And that’s the thing about relaxing – what works for one person won’t necessarily work for another. For me, personally, I know I need to turn off my screens, take a breath and remember to enjoy this moment that God has blessed me with. In order for me to fully scale back and turn off my constant running brain, I choose to take a bath. I don’t have a super fancy tub (thought I dream of having one…one day…). But you don’t need a fancy tub to have a spa experience. You only need a fun product or two to change the atmosphere. A bath bomb, some bubbles, a handful of salts can transform your average bathtub into a well-needed getaway. If you are a retailer then you know how easy it is to sell bath bombs. Many small businesses are starting to order wholesale bath bombs to keep prices down and provide more options for customers.

Each month on the right side bar (or bottom of the page for mobile readers) there will be a button with a promoted bath/spa product. This product will be reviewed by MamatheFox and the image will link back to the article. Most of the time there will be special discounts and offers available only to readers of MamatheFox. If you love to relax in the tub, or are looking for a fun way to unwind and indulge in some well deserved ‘me time’, this is going to be the place you want to keep checking back.

If you are a business and would like more information on being a featured product please contact Danielle at mamathefox at gmail dot com

1byone Outdoor Sport & Shower Speaker Review

categories: Reviews

1byone Outdoor Sport & Shower Speaker Review

1byone makes top of the line electronics for everyday people. Everyone I know loves music. I mean how can you not? Everyone has their genres, bands and melodies that resonate in their soul. In my house we constantly have music playing. We love to listen to the best playlists from sites like Mozaart.com. Its always in the background. In the summertime, my kids and I are outside most of the day. Last year we missed the music we love to listen to. I would try to have it come out of my cell phone but being knee-deep in their pool, working in the garden or by their water table – it was never a cell phone or electronic friendly environment. On top of that, we love going on walks and hikes in the summer and it was always hard to get the music loud enough where everyone could hear it. We went hiking with our friends and they had the soundboks 2 speaker which was just amazing. The sound quality was so clear that I needed to find a speaker like that but was a little smaller and more easily portable. This is what has spawned the emerging trend of devices designed for use in the great outdoors like the outdoor empire radios.

This summer and for now on, I am so excited to have a 1byone Outdoor Sport & Shower Speaker. There are a TON of speakers on the market. I see them online and in stores all the time. But what makes a speaker stand out? What makes you want to buy a particular one? Here are a few reasons why this 1byone speaker is the choice for you.

You Can Use it By Water

This speaker is waterproof and can be used in showers or by bathtubs and pools. Having electronic by water can be a scarey thing. I am constantly scared of electric shock. You should NEVER submerge an electronic in water. However, there are products that can survive some splashing and water condensation – the 1byone Outdoor Speaker is one of them. This speaker can be placed by a shower, tub or pool and can handle some splashing. No more fear of destruction of the device when your kids splash around like you know they are going to do. Looking to lounge in your tub and unwind to some soothing tunes? Planning a romantic getaway with your significant other? Going to the pool this summer? All these situations which you will inevitably incur, you will want a 1byone Speaker.

You Can Use it in Dusty Areas

Do you or someone you know work in a dirty/dusty environment? Construction, warehouses, factories? All these places have dust and other materials flying around. All those foreign objects can harm your technology, including your music speaker. Now you can use a 1byone speaker. No worries about it dying due to exposure to dust.

by the pool

Smartphone to Bluetooth Capable

This 1byone Speaker can hold music that you load onto a TF slot card or can play music off a Smart device using Bluetooth. Most the time I am listening to Pandora or I Heart Radio. Now I can stream my music stations from my phone to the Speaker. This makes it easy to use and gives me to variety and kinds of music I want to hear. If you are going camping and know that you will not have access to cell phone signal you can easily store music to the speaker itself with the TF card slot.

The Bluetooth capabilities makes this great for walks through a forest, or around the park. Take it on picnics, family vacations or to the gym. In fact, this speaker is the perfect size to take to the gym in your tracksuit pocket, meaning you don’t have to worry about storage. The speaker has been trialled by holding it in the gym throughout a workout in womens tracksuits and it proved light, loud and to have a strong battery!

It’s Small and Easy to Store

No one needs large and bulky items to store and carry around. This 1byone Speaker is easy to carry and store! It’s lightweight making it not a burden when its in your purse, diaper bag, camping bag, luggage or in your hall closet. If you are a minimalist, then this is the speaker for you

Long Battery Life

The 1byone Outdoor Speaker can hold up to 7 hours of uninterrupted sound before you need to recharge. The 1400 mAh battery is easy to recharge and holds the perfect amount of playtime you need. You can also keep it plugged in and use it while it charges if you choose it.

Whether you have never touched an espresso machine before or worked at a coffee shop for years, you will be able to use and instantly fall in love with a Capresso product.

The Cafe PRO is the perfect machine for any mother this Mother’s Day. So often we give flowers and chocolates as a gift, but wouldn’t you like to make a more lasting impression on the Mother in your life? This year choose to get her a stunning Capresso Cafe PRO. The Cafe PRO makes both cappuccinos and espresso, giving her caffeine kick she craves. Don’t let another Mother’s Day go by without stepping out of the box and going beyond expectations. Make her heart melt (and beat a tad faster!) with the Cafe PRO.

How to Use a Cafe PRO

The Cafe PRO may look intimidating but it can easily be mastered. You need to use caution and should read the owners manual in it’s entirety before using this magnificent machine. I will highlight some basics here, but please read that manual!

It is best to grind your beans just before brewing, or as close to brewing as possible. When you grind use the espresso setting so that they are the correct texture. It should look like sugar granules when ground properly.

Capresso Cafe PRO
comes with a double spout portafilter and a bottomless portafilter. If you are a beginner and don’t know what those words mean, then you want to start with the double spout portafilter. Capresso Cafe PRO
features a state-of-the-art boiler to keep the water piping hot and ready for action on a moments notice. Due to this feature the cord on this machine is shorter than other electronics. This is because we do not want someone tripping over a boiling hot water holding device. Epic bad image. **shutters** The water is stored in a 42 oz removable water container. This makes filling it super easy.

Use the bottom end of the scoop that is included with the machine to press down on the grounds you put in the portafilter of your choice. This makes the grounds more compact and will brew more effectively and give you the bold flavor you desire. Then you need to attach it to the machine. This is a very easy set. Simply place the filter into the circular connector on the machine itself. The machine clearly reads ‘insert’ and ‘lock’. Have the handle on the left and rotate the handle toward the right until it hits the center of the machine. You can feel it lock into place. Once it is locked in place you can follow the instruction manual on how to brew a shot of espresso.

I love the 15 bar pump feature – which allows you to get that super lovely top foamy goodness that is the iconic look of a classic cup of espresso. 15 bar simply put means it has a greater force of atmospheric pressure, which results in better pressure when the water is pressing the grinds – making you that silky cup of espresso. You can see below the beginning to end results of a simple shot of espresso. It comes out a light coffee color, but as it sets for a moment the separation occurs giving you a classic espresso.

In order to make a cappuccino you only need to add frothy milk to your espresso. Using the Best Milk Frother ensures that the milk will be as frothy as can be which will make the coffee taste even better. The Cafe PRO comes with a frothing wand, allowing you to make not only your espresso but a cappuccino as well. For a beginner making the froth is easy as making the espresso itself. Doing the fun cappuccino art you can find throughout Pinterest and at hip cafe spots it a real talent and takes loads of practice, as well as a gift for art in my opinion. To make the froth add cold milk to a cold metal pitcher. Click here to see more of these milk froth pitcher‘s. Add around 4 or more ounces of milk to the pitcher. On your machine you need to purge the frothing wand. This is basically a special word for saying clean out the old milk and air out of it. You let it run into the metal catch tray (or a thick towel) for 10 seconds. This steam is HOT and will burn you, I am not brave enough to use a towel and I choose to use the tray to catch the steam. Be sure to use care & safety when using the froth wand. After it is purged you place the tip 1/3 of an inch into the milk. Tilt the pitcher so that you have it at an angle up to 45 degrees. Turn on the froth wand and let it push the steam into the milk for 2-4 seconds to the top, then push the tip a little bit more into the milk to create a whirlpool effect. Let froth for around 10-12 seconds total. Any longer may scorch the milk. Once you take the wand out you will see some bubbles at the top. Tap the cup on your counter and softly twirl the cup so that the foam on top mixes with the milk. Then slowly pour the milk into your espresso. Voila! A homemade cappuccino.

Hot Logic Mini Review

About Hot Logic Mini

No access to a microwave? Too busy at your desk? Kids running around you in circles? Working out at the gym all afternoon? In your call all day making sales calls or making deliveries? This is no longer an excuse as to why you are not eating hot, delicious meals. I am so excited to tell you about the coolest new product I know of, the Hot Logic Mini. Before become a blogger I was in sales. I worked from my car all day long. I had to resort to cold packed lunches (that were no longer cold on those horribly hot days) or fast food. My husband is still in sales and he is often in his car all day with little time to eat. Sometimes even going through a drive thru is too time consuming. We are so geeked about the Hot Logic Mini. This exciting new product is so amazing I cannot believe I have been going through life without it.

The Hot Logic Mini is a portable oven that not only warms up your food, but it can cook it too! This oven is dummy proof, you cannot burn your food! You simply place your glass dish in the Hot Logic Mini and plug it in. After 1 hour your food will be ready to eat at the perfect serving temperature. When cooking from raw form just plug in when you get the the office and my lunch time you will have a fresh cooked meal. You will instantly be the envy of the office. Whether fresh, frozen or raw the Hot Logic Mini will cook your meal all without the use of buttons and dials. These are perfect for college students who are burning the midnight oil while cramming for exams. The elderly who cannot stand in front of an oven or stove like they used to.

No matter who you are and what type of life you lead, you know that somehow the Hot Logic Mini can make you life, or someone you know, easier.

Mama’s Experience

I love how easy the Hot Logic Mini is to use. You all you is place your food (raw, frozen or cooked) in a Pyrex container. Place the Pyrex container in your Hot Logic Mini and zip it up. Plug in the Hot Logic Mini and it will be ready when you are hungry. Typically it takes 1 hour to fully warm, but sometimes it can be faster. The most interesting part about the Hot Logic Mini is that it won’t overcook or burn your food. I can plug it in when I get up in the morning and by noon my lunch is not overcooked or burnt. This makes it great as I never have to watch over the cooking like I would with other products. Some sous vide machines for the home chef have this feature, however, they normally need constant watching over. deadlines to meet My husband works a high demanding job and often cannot get away from his desk. When he does the microwave may already be claimed by other workers. Being in sales, half the time he is in his car driving all over the place and if he had an accident I don’t know what I’d do. I hear that a lawyer could provide insight into what to do. My friend told me to check out www.attorneync.com/car-accidents-lawyer/what-to-do-after-an-accident/ for more. I just want my husband to be safe obviously. Driving can be dangerous, and I really don’t want him to end up in an accident. I’m tempted to get him to take a defensive driving course, just to be extra safe (you can read more about that here). Having said that though, his driving is fine, and since he hasn’t had an accident yet I’m sure he’ll be fine. He always seems to make it to an appointment on time and he always comes home after an appointment. When appointments run over and time is limited even a quick trip through a drive-thru is out of the question. Now he can easily and safely have a warm lunch without any stress. No more hangry afternoons due to lack of a meal. I made some Kale and Mushroom Lasagna (it was awesome), but like all lasagna’s there was a ton of leftovers. My husband plugged in the Hot Logic Mini that was packed with his leftovers about 45 minutes before he planned on eating lunch. When he had the time to eat he told me it was not only warmed throughout this thick delicious lasagna, but the noodles did not get dried out. I am sure that was due to my ample offering of homemade sauce it was cooked in. I have been told that noodles without sufficient sauce can dry out in a Hot Logic Mini if left in for a long amount of time, so please keep this in mind when warming pastas. The next day I had left over Black Bean and Corn Quesadillas. I knew it was going to be a hectic day. I had to drop my daughter off at school then run a few errands with my 2 year old. Odd’s were he would get too hungry and I would end up going through a drive-thru for some nuggets for him. I have been trying so hard to eat low calorie foods and as organic as possible. That is pretty hard with a drive-thru menu offerings. plug tucks away Most recently I have tried to cook fresh, raw fish in my Hot Logic Mini. I placed my fish along with some veggies and spices in the Hot Logic. After about 3 hours it was fully cooked and ready to eat. There are many reasons why microwaves are really not the best idea, in my non medical professional mind. When your food is wrapped in plastic and warmed in a microwave it can add carcinogens in the food! If that isn’t scary I don’t know what is… Avoid the risk and try a Hot Logic Mini today.

The salmon was super moist. No more worrying about dry or overcooked fish.
