Takeaway: Nice quality, fresh scented, smooth textured bees wax. Easy to work with.

The bees wax is shipped as a 1 lb block in a vacuum sealed bag. The block measures about 5" square and 1.25" thick. Upon weighing it I found it was actually a bit over 17 oz. It has the same deep yellow color as in the product photos and a sweet natural honey aroma to it. I did not notice any off smells from my block. It has a dry, dense texture. I use it primarily for coating tools like leather punches and making the occasional lip balm. The lip balm recipe I use is one part bees wax to two parts coconut oil. The block is a bit tough to cut but I use a sharp heavy cleaver which works well. It also helps to heat a metal knife for cutting. The wax melts readily over medium heat in a double boiler setup. It also cools and solidifies quickly once removed from the heat, so I use a trivet and keep a heat gun nearby if it starts to harden too fast. The final texture is smooth and buttery and helps keeps my lips hydrated and protected from the elements.

Vava Egg Shaped Kids Baby Night Light Review Buy it at Amazon: Vava Egg Shaped Kids Baby Night Light [Affiliate Link] Takeaway: Cute nightlight, several modes, good range of brightness level/color temps, long run-time. You'll receive the light, a microUSB charging cable, a small metal carabiner, and an instruction manual. This light is cutely egg-shaped and is made of plastic with a solid white base and a translucent white top. On the front you have the Vava logo and a small indicator LED and on the back you have the charging port hidden behind a rubber door. The unit takes about 5 hours to fully charge and the LED blinks blue quickly while charging. Once fully charged can last for up to 80 hours or about 10 consecutive nights at 8 hours each. What's nice about this night light is that once it is charged, it is portable and can be placed in different rooms and doesn't need to be near an outlet. It's also IP65 water resistant rated and is able to get wet. On the bottom

Silkworld Ice Silk Briefs Review

Silkworld Ice Silk Briefs Review Buy it at Amazon: Silkworld Ice Silk Briefs [Affiliate Link] Takeaway: Sheer, revealing, soft and comfortable, very low profile and lightweight with enhancement bands in front. You'll receive 8 pairs of underwear in different colors: blue, orange, yellow, red, hot pink, black, white and cyan. The underwear is made from a sheer nylon spandex blend with a mesh weave. The front pouch is framed by elastic bands and stretches to accommodate larger endowments, but does require some adjustments and manual finagling; it could use some more room in general. However, the bands lift and accentuate your package for a fuller look. While there's a seam down the middle of the pouch, it's smooth and you can barely feel it. The waist band is 1" wide and stretches quite a bit. Note that the more the material stretches, the more transparent it becomes. In back, you'll get full coverage for your backside, and it will stretch to accommodate your curve
