Razor Red Knife Sharpener Review

Disclosure: I got this product as part of an advertorial.

It can be hard to decide on the best knife sharpener when you are looking at all of the options. How do you choose?  You need to think about price, durability and how easy it is to use to start with. Then don't forget storage.  Small and compact is always better for me...I am running out of space. Those are key elements and I know because I have purchased a few kitchen tools here and there (LOL) over the years. My husband and I both cook and we are very particular about our tools such as knives. We only buy very high quality knives. It really makes a difference in how easy it is to prep a meal. You do need to keep those knives sharp and to do that you need a decent sharpener. The prices vary a lot though so you have to consider a variety of factors like I just mentioned. Price does not always equal quality. You can get a really good knife sharpener like the Razor Red for a reasonable price.

I recently received the Razor Red to try out in my own home and I wanted to share my experience.  First off I was so surprised how small it is. It can fit right in the palm of your hand. Perfect for holding and storage. Right out of the box it was simple to use. There were no complicated instructions and my tween daughter was excited that this was another tool that she could use with a little supervision.  We believe it is important for kids to learn how to cook and taking care of their cooking tools (with adult supervision!!) is part of the learning process.  The Razor Red sharpened several of our knives very quickly and I liked that I could secure it during operation with the suction cup.  The price is right and it does the job that a much pricier sharpener does with a huge cost savings!

Features of the Razor Red kitchen knife sharpener

• Works in seconds and so Easy even a Child can use it Safely
• Sharpens any knife with Diamond Precision Quickly and Easily
• Strong Suction Cup Mount for Safe Bench Use - Great for Seniors
• Changes Blunt Old Knives into Just Like New - No Need to Buy New Knives
• Use on Kitchen Cutlery, Gardening Shears and even Lawnmower Blades!

You can buy it right on Amazon too and by going to the Razor Red website and taking a peek at their video you can take advantage of a nice little coupon to save a few dollars as well.  Let me know your thoughts and share any good recipes like this yummy fast quesadilla one I recently made!

I received one or more of the products mentioned above for free using Tomoson.com. Regardless, I only recommend products or services I use personally and believe will be good for my readers.

Drink Duets Bottle Tags and Glass Skirts Perfect for the next party or BBQ: a review #drinkduets

Disclosure: I got this product as part of an advertorial.

Summer is the time for parties, barbeques and get togethers. Well, I don't know about you but we really entertain all year long but summer is something else. Between our house and the beach house it is non-stop visitors on the weekends. Nothing gets me nuttier than half finished drinks because people are mixing up the beverages.  Those cute little wine tags help but I never have enough. Besides, some people, who will remain nameless, forget what their little character or tag is. I recently heard about a great way to solve that problem simply and in a cute way that fits with my entertaining style too.

Drink Duets are a fun and functional way to tag those bottles of water or soda or any other bottled beverage in a colorful way.   Bottle Tags are colorful, soft, reusable tags which you slip over the neck of a bottled beverage.  They come in 12 different colors and can also be written on with a sharpie or stick on initials if having different colors isn't enough to differentiate (we won't say names, will we).  The end result:  saving money on drinks (water, beer soda, sport drinks), saving time and trips to the grocery store, and no more spreading of germs by accidentally sharing bottles. It also is greener and better for the environment because you are not wasting and throwing away so much. This is totally great for the drink cooler too at the beach, picnic or sports field! The kids can easily identify their drinks.

The creator of Drink Duets also has an elegant option that is so much better than your traditional wine glass tag. Those wine charms are so last year and at this point seem so dated.  Here is the perfect hostess gift to bring...you can attach it to a lovely bottle of wine and add it to your gift. They are called Glass Skirts and are perfect for any kind of formal or informal event.  Glass Skirts come 8 to a package so you want to get a bunch and stock up for all your summer parties. They are made of the same material  as the Drink Duets and spiral around the stem of a wine glass. They are the perfect complement to the bottle tags at your next party, BBQ or gathering.  Pretty and very practical. They are so much more modern than those traditional wine charms.

Available on the Drink Duets website by the pack or you can inquire about custom or bulk ordering for weddings or corporate events. It will be the talk of your next party too.They are available at select retailers which are listed on the site as well.

Drink Duets has a special promotion just for my readers too:  Mention Glamamamas Goodies and use Promo Code GMG when you buy 2 packages of Bottle Tags you will get a 3rd pack of Bottle Tags free!
