Storage Solutions for your home

I received this product in exchange for my honest review.

You can never have enough storage in your home!   I am always buying more baskets and bins to store toys, towels, and just everyday items.   I found a solution to my storage problems.  The Songmics 3 Tier Cube Organizer is the answer.

The storage organizer comes ready to assemble. Even a novice DIY person like myself had no problems putting it together.  It was easy to put together and the directions were clear and concise.   It even had extra parts!  I thought that was great, in case something goes awry, you have extra.

You can build the unit to include all tiers and cubbyholes or you can configure the design to suit your needs.  We all need more storage, so I decided to use all 9 cubes.

Now, I have storage for the things I need.  And, it looks cool too.  What do you think?



I really like that I have the panels for this storage unit.  You can  close them or you can take the panel off This is great, especially if you have things you would like to display.  I have had this unit for about two months and it has held together very well.  I have had many compliments on it , as it is very stylish.

I think this storage unit would be great for any household or apartment.  If you are looking for a  storage solution  for your home, check out the Songmics 3 Tier Cube Organizer.

My Vacuum Sucks ( and yours should, too)

Disclosure: I received this product in exchange for my honest opinion. 

My vacuum sucks!  You know why?  Because I have the  BEST vacuum on this earth!  

The Shark® APEX™ DuoClean™ Powered Lift-Away®Vacuum  amazed me the first time I used  it.  I was going to vacuum my floor real quick to see how it worked.  Boy, was I surprised at how dirty my carpet was.  This baby really sucks up dirt I did not know I had.  This only made me want to vacuum my whole house.  When I was done, it looked as though my carpets had been cleaned!   I thought my daily vacuuming with another brand was cleaning my floors until I got this Shark.  IT SUCKS!  And I mean it sucks all the dirt out of your carpets and floors.  Talk about a clean sweep,  the   Shark® APEX™ DuoClean™ Powered Lift-Away®Vacuum cleans like no other.  The suction power is better than any brand I have tried in my life. And,I have have tried quite a few.

Wait, this vacuum does more than just vacuum your floors. It has a deep cleaning motorized pet tool, an anti-allergen dusting brush, pet multi-tool, duster crevice tool,and comes with an accessory bag.  It has a 7 YEAR WARRANTY!   What more could you ask for in a vacuum?

Reviewz & Newz is happy to feature this in our Holiday Gift Guide.

SKINCARE 101: BAD HABITS YOU NEED TO QUIT

Image source

To get all scientifical for a second, your skin is your biggest and most exposed organ, which should be enough to convince you that taking care of it is pretty essential (read: of the utmost importance). However, way too many people fall short in the skin care arena. You would think taking care of your skin would be easy and revered, yet so many people a) don’t realize what they are doing is wrong or b) don’t even know what they need to be doing to their skin.

That is why we have pulled together what experts are calling The Ultimate Skincare Guide. Okay, so that’s not exactly true, but these top tips on how to look after your epidermis are.

Baz Luhrmann Was Right: Wear Sunscreen

How many times do you need to hear people tell you to wear sunscreen before it will eventually sink in? The sun is great, don’t get us wrong, but too much of a good thing can be bad, which is why you need to be generous with the amount of sunscreen you wear. If you don’t, well, you are playing a pretty dicey game where the jackpot prize will either be skin cancer, actinic keratosis, hyperpigmentation and skin so leathery it sags.

Your Deodorant Is Making Your Skin Irritable

News flash: not all deodorant is born equal. We know this may be a hard pill to swallow, but if you are using just any old deodorant then you may well be using a deodorant that harbors aluminum. Stop doing this right away and go get yourself the best aluminum free deodorant money can by. Why? Simple. Aluminium has been linked to some pretty severe conditions, like breast cancer, bone disorders, kidney issues and even Alzheimer's. Point made.

Why Are You Still Sleeping In Your Makeup?

It doesn’t matter how tired you are, how many glasses of wine you sipped on what time it is when you finally get back from work, it is not okay to sleep in your makeup. Even if it is that nice mineral makeup the lady over the counter sold you. While you are catching up on your sleep, your skin needs to be breathing in air and releasing toxins, which it can’t-do when covered in makeup. So, before your eyes close for the night, grab a wipe and cleanse well.

Moisturizing Really Does Matter
It doesn’t matter where you live, your skin will find a way to dry out if possible, which is bad. It is also why your skin needs humectants, which it can find quite hard to get naturally a lot of the time. If the air outside is dry, then you are in trouble. If you use air conditioning inside, then you are in trouble. If you use the heaters in your car, then you are in trouble. That is why you need to make sure you are always moisturizing. It doesn’t matter whether you have oily skin or what doctors would call “normal skin”, moisturizer will help keep your skin in balance.
