Hi everyone! It's after Thanksgiving and I have so much to be thankful for. I really wish I could post daily but life gets so crazy sometimes...So I do what I can! Here are a few items I've recently tried and can't wait to talk about.

The first item is the BrytonPick tooth floss. I loved this handy little floss pick! It is made of flexible stainless steel so it is reusable. It is also germ resistant and portable (it comes in a little sleeve) so you can carry it in your purse or wallet. You can get 3-5 uses out of one pick before the pick starts to get folds (which prevent it from gliding easily between teeth.)

I was a little afraid to use it at first because I thought it might hurt my gums. Well, I was pleasantly surprised! It slides easily between my teeth as long as I start at the top (like you would with thread floss) and is very gentle. It is so convenient to use! I use it in my bathroom, then rinse it, pop it in it's sleeve and take it with me in my purse. No wooden toothpick necessary after a big lunch!

I was given two picks to review so I gave one to my boyfriend who is always looking for stuff to pick his teeth with. He loved it as much as I did.

These picks cost a little more than thread floss but are definitely worth it since they are reusable. Also, I like that they don't shred like traditional floss.

Next is a coupon cutter I found extremely useful: Anyone who knows me knows I am a coupon fanatic. The Slice Safety Cutter is a wonderful little tool. No need for scissors so these are great for people with arthritis or other hand problems.

The Slice Safety Cutter makes straight neat slices in half the time it takes to cut or trim something with regular scissors. Much safer for children, too (though supervision is always suggested.) The only thing I would recommend while using this great little tool is that one is careful not to press too hard. Just a slight pressure gets the job done since it glides easily and cuts all the way through. I also suggest using a newspaper or magazine under whatever you are cutting so as not to scratch your desk or table.

I used this nifty cutter to cut school pictures, coupons, recipes and gift wrap. It will be a life saver during the Holidays! I highly recommend getting one of these!

I love my bi-colored hair! Black on top with cherry-red underneath. I dye my own hair about once a month because my gray starts to show. That's why I thought it was great to try out this next product. Roots Only Hair Root Touch up is supposed to help you color your roots easily so that you distribute the product more evenly.

How this item works is, you mix the color as directed and carefully pour the contents into the the Roots Only bottle and attach the comb-like top. (This was a messy process but the comb-like top would not work on the product's original bottle.) The comb-like top is hollow and the product dispenses from the ends. Then it works like other squeeze bottles, except that the product can be combed through hair, depositing the color between strands of hair. I used it for the black portion of my hair. It does keep the color next to the scalp but I found that the hairline was tough for me (personally) to color. It was easy to use and dispensed the color evenly, which I really liked. This design eliminates parting and sectioning hair since it just combs through.

The bottle can be rinsed and reused. I will definitely use it again. I think, with some practice, I will be able to color my hairline more easily. This bottle is effective for getting color evenly distributed along the scalp and I would recommend this to anyone who dyes their own hair frequently.
