    Date Night? Power Outage? This 60-Hour Candle Has Got Your Back (And Will Probably Outlast Your Netflix Binge)

    Review: "Beeswax is great since it has no smoke and a pleasant mild fragrance. I have been using coil candles for several years and they are neat to use because you can reel out the amount you want to burn and regulate the time it burns by doing so. It puts itself out and you don't have to worry about it. They last a long time, too." - Fuzzolina

Maybe a little too strong for my liking, but you can adjust it and you'll definitely get wet. It did a good job of keeping the water cold the entire day though and the bottle looks nice. Overall, a great arsenal to have with you on hikes on a hot day." - T. T.

    Review: "There’s no point in other mandolins. You will get cut. This is so fast and easy and a safe it’s unbelievable. Kids can get involved with helping but also no more cuts for adults is a win. If you clean it right away, most food rinses right off but if you let it sit with the food it can get a little tricky to get dried food off of crevices. I’ve mostly used it on cucumbers and potatoes- both fabulous experiences" - Avi Goldstein
