Calphalon Unison Nonstick 12-Inch Round Grill Pan

Well it seems that summer doesn't last long and if you live in a city like mine, you will get lots of rain a great part of the year. I am not complaining though, I like to swim in the streets (lol).

Well something that I wouldn't like to give up because of the city I live on is my Mexican chiles and to have a nice grilled cooked meal. What about some steaks, some salmon or my favorite, some delicious grilled prawns.

I was checking some things online and I came across this Calphalon Unison Nonstick Grill Pan.

This is supposed to be kind of an indoor alternative to grill your meals.It is a nonstick pan, dishwasher safe and you can even put it on the oven to finish up your meals. So apparently you can't go wrong with it.

Like always, I like to check a bit more and learn the facts about the items I find online. You can read more about this sear nonstick pan and check for yourself if this grilled pan might be a good solution for your grilled meals on a rainy day.

So if you are planning to make waffles, not only you might like to have the best ingredients but also, let's face it, you don't want to work hard to make your waffles on Sunday morning, your day off!

LeapFrog LeapPad2 Explorer

Wow! with all the technology available, it is not surprising that the little ones want to take advantage of that as well. I know my little girl (7 yrs old) understands a lot more about my cell phone than my husband does (lol).

LeapFrog has come with a newer version of their learning tablet. The LeapPad2 Explorer.

This device provides entertainment and a learning experience for the youngsters.

Although I definitely do not agree with the idea of allowing your kids to be all day long playing video games, watching TV and things like that, I consider that it is not a bad idea to provide them with cool ways to learn.

Now, like everything else, it is important that you do your due diligence and check out what type of toys and activities you expose your children to.

You can read on my lens some information that could give you a better picture of this learning tablet so you can decide if this is good for you and your kids. (You can check the lens titles below)

Mr Beams Night Light Motion Sensor

It is always nice to be able to see at night without leaving the overhead light on overnight. The night lights have become handy for this purpose, but the question is, what are the best night lights for you?

Well, it is a great option to have lights that are activated by motion detection, so you don't have to turn them on and off. It is also a plus if you don't need to hire an electrician to install them.

The Mr Beams Night Light Motion Sensor, were designed to offer the two features above. So yes there is no wiring required and of course they detect your movement when you enter a room.

I wrote a lens where I go more in detail about these night lights, so you can read the good, the bad and the ugly and see if these could be what you are looking for to illuminate your nights.

Whirlpool Air Purifier AP51030K Review

I was amazed when I read on the internet what the the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency said about how the air we breath inside our home and office could be more a worry than the regular air in the outdoors.

Nowadays, a lot of people suffer from asthma, allergies and other symptoms, which makes important to clean the indoor air we breath which is where we spend a great deal of our time.

For that reason, I made a review of one of the most sold air purifiers in the market, the Whirlpool Air Purifier AP51030K, just to give you some ideas of what you should look for while choosing an air purifier that really cleans the air. I really hope that information helps you in your searching for an air cleaner.

Omega J8004 Nutrition Center Masticating Juicer Review Review

It seems that people are getting more and more conscious of their health, it is amazing how many products you can find about fitness, health and nutrition in general. It is not surprise to see why a lot of people are opting to prepare their own natural juices and foods at home. Not only could it be cheaper but also, you can control the quality of what you are eating.

Well, I found this incredible Omega J8004 Nutrition center Masticating Juicer online. I think it is pretty good if you know for what type of produce is better for it. Now a lot of us are becoming "green"so the green juices have become really popular nowadays due to their nutrition properties and Dr. Oz (lol).

So if you like wheatgrass juice, green leafy vegetables with other vegetables/fruits or if you like to make nutritious foods from scratch, like peanut butter, baby food, frozen fruit sorbets or even to grind coffee, well this J8004 might be a good alternative.

On the other hand, I learned that if what you want is to make fruit juice for all your family, this J8004 won't be a good idea. This processor is not the best to juice fruits and definitely it is not meant to be for juicing carrots. I mean you can juice some carrots as a part of your green juice, but if you are like Bugs Bunny, then this is not the extractor you want.

If you are more for just fruit juices you probably should check the Omega VRT330 Dual-Stage Vertical Single-Auger Low-Speed Juicer. Now keep in mind that this juicer is pretty good for fruits, but you won't be able to do anything other than that.

I wrote a lens if you would like to know a bit more about this Omega J8004 Nutrition Center.

The Shave Well Truly Fog Free Shower Mirror

I made a lens (which is a squidoo page) about a cool product I found online. It is The Shave Well Truly Fog Free Shower Mirror.

I am not sure about you girls, but I like to feel and see a nice smooth skin on my husband's face (lol). His skin irritates a lot when he shaves. So I figured, if he can shave in the shower probably he will protect his skin a bit, since the beard gets softer with the moisture making it easier to cut.

Well, I thought, if he has a mirror that allows him to shave in the shower, maybe that might help with his skin but also to keep the sink clean of his hair. (lol)

So I decided to write a lens about this Fog Free Shower Mirror, so you can see what types of things to look for while buying a shower mirror if you feel that it is a better idea to shave in the shower. I hope it helps!

Welcome To My News Blog

Hey, welcome to my news blog.

My name is Carina. I am using this blog to share with you cool stuff I find online. I really hope you can benefit from this information in some way.

A little bit about myself.

As I mentioned in my profile, I met my husband in a really original way. I met him on the "seabus". I have always been a believer in that weird thing of "follow your guts" (lol) so I did. Now we share our life with our little girl. So yes, you will never be wrong when you follow your instincts, even if sometimes your decisions challenge you more than you expected.

Well thanks for visiting, I hope to see you back soon!
