I was afforded the opportunity to review KREN’s 3D IMAX VR Virtual Reality Headset Glasses For 4~6 inch Smartphones for 3D Movies and Games with wireless bluetooth remote controller, in exchange for an unbiased and honest review. This product arrives as shown. In your package you will get the headset, the remote, 1 micro USB cord, 1 plastic key, 1 microfiber cleaning cloth, and an instruction pamphlet.

I giggled at the instruction pamphlet. It gives minimal information in some areas. For example, it states to download APP. Does it tell you which, nope, lol. I went to my Google Playstore and downloaded this one: VaR’s VR Video Player. It is free and had 4.2 stars with a lot of downloads. There is the Google Cardboard VR App, but I didn’t want that one. Once you download the app, go ahead and download a bunch of free games from your Playstore. Just do a search for VR, and everything will pop up. We downloaded 7 different themes and games. In one game my son was a dinosaur and went around eating goats, lol. We did an aquarium app and my 70 year old mom was absolutely amazed. We did other apps, like a rollercoaster app, and asteroid game app, a safari app, and a Jurassic world app, and so on. There are just so many, and they are so cool. It is so much fun to watch people with the VR glasses on. The reactions are hilarious. I have a huge phone too. I have a backup phone I may dedicate to this, but for the test I pushed the boundaries and used my huge, Samsung Galaxy Note 5 phone, and it fit, and it worked perfectly in this product. I did have to take my phone out of my Otterbox Defender case though. It is slated to work on phones that are sized from 3.5” to 6”, so I was happy to see that my phone fit in perfectly. The lens cover is magnetic, and easy to put on and off. To open the compartment to put your phone in the phone holder, it’s easiest to use the finger holds on the sides. It opens so easily this way. It also has a strong magnetic closure. The head strap itself is the type that also goes over your head. Both the top strap and the side straps are adjustable via Velcro. The viewing area is also adjustable with both reels on the top of the unit and the sides. We actually never needed to adjust them for ourselves. When you are viewing your app, just don’t look straight ahead, you will need to turn your head from side to side to really see everything going on, it’s amazing. The remote control works via Bluetooth. It came up as MOCUR-039_A31-Bo67, and it paired with my phone right away. The remote takes a little practice. The large white button looking thing is actually a cursor. Just move it to what you want to click on, and then press the select button. You can press X to adjust the volume up, and A to adjust the volume down. There are also separate volume – an + buttons on the backside of the remote as well. The Y button takes you to your phones home screen, so careful, lol. I kept pressing that at first. The remote doesn’t take batteries either. I like that. You just need to remember to throw it on the charger. It charges with the micro USB cord included in the package. Overall I absolutely love, love, love this thing. These VR glasses and remote work really well. They are quite user friendly and afford a lot of entertainment for all ages. It’s a very affordable form of entertainment, and I am very comfortable recommending this product.

I was afforded the opportunity to review this Ozeri 12″ Green Earth Frying Pan, in exchange for an unbiased and honest review. This pan arrives as shown.

I am not new to Ozeri cookware. I love it, so I was excited to test this pan out for my Blog. It has a waffle weave patterned texture to the bottom cooking area of the pan. Yes, that’s my own description, lol. It really works well. The surface is non stick, but it is different from the usual. It is a ceramic non stick coating from Germany. It is PTFE and PTOF free. The coating is safe for you, and is very scratch resistant. You will have no fumes or residue in your foods, like you can with some non stick surfaces. This pan is made out of heavy-gauge die cast aluminum. The handle has a great silicone coating to it. I love the handle. It is attached very firmly, and is real comfortable to hold. You also do not need a pot holder whenever you go to doing some hands on cooking.

It really is non stick. My experience with it though, is that you really need to clean the surface well with a degreaser type of soap. Just because your food didn’t stick, don’t skimp on the cleaning. Otherwise, you can have a residue build up and hurt the non stick factor. The waffle weave texture helps with the heat distribution throughout the pan. The elevated textures creates air pockets that distribute the heat evenly throughout the pan. It really does help. Our stove is no longer fully level since our home is on stilts. There always is a hotter spot in our pans, and I normally have to move food around, so part doesn’t burn, while the other food still needs to cook. In this pan, I have not had this issue. This pan also has a magnetized induction stove safe base for rapid heat transfer. You can use this on your induction stove top if you have one.

I made my homemade spaghetti sauce in this pan last night. Something I never make in a pan, because tomato sauce likes to splatter. First I did my ground meat, which cooked evenly. Then I added my tomato puree and seasonings, etc.. I was able to summer my sauce with absolutely no splattering. I am still in disbelief over it. I have never been able to make a sauce without any splattering. I was able to keep the heat lower, and even with no lid, nothing splattered and my sauce was perfect. I am really happy with how well everything cooks in this pan. I love this one, like I love my other ones. The quality is top notch, and cooking on it is a breeze. Remember to take care of your Ozeri pan at clean up time, and will continue to take care of you. I am very comfortable recommending this product.

I was afforded the opportunity to review Booms Fishing Omani Spinning Reel 2000, in exchange for an unbiased and honest review. This product arrives as shown.

Lol, when the reel arrived, my older son who is 21, went over the reel. When I told him the cost, he about died, said I was lying. That cracked me up. My son, who is single, spends a fortune on top of the line fishing equipment, and that is all he will use. So, we have a lot of high end equipment to compare it too. This reel reminds me of some of his Shimano reels. This reel has 10 +1 Stainless Steel Ball Bearings, which makes for smooth action. It is also equipped with Equipped with a front drag system, anti-reverse roller bearing and anti-tangling line roller. You can use it both left and right handed with the left/right retrieve. With this reel we experienced that the ball spring works as smoothly as most reels when flipping it over. The handle travels back very little and is pretty tight. Our reverse lever is working as it should. The drag increases and decreases smoothly. There is a slight flex in the frame and handle, but is expected from Carbon Fiber. My son thinks the collapse mechanism for the handle is a little on the weaker side though. With the weather we have been having, we haven’t been able to give it solid fishing time, unfortunately. This reel can easily handle the salt water though. It has a Carbon Fiber body and double-anodized aluminum spool. The salt won’t effect this reel. As usual though, make sure you clean your gear down after use.  The handle has the usual EVA cushioned handle, so it’s comfortable to operate. The price point it’s at is unreal. If you are looking for a solid fishing reel, I definitely recommend this one. It’s perfect for anyone’s price range.

I do not sell these reels, and I do not benefit in any way from sales.

I was afforded the opportunity to review EZ Pro Gear’s Audio 2000s AWP6406-L Dual Channel Wireless Microphone Portable PA System with 1 Handheld & 1 Body-Pack, at a reduced cost, in exchange for an unbiased and honest review. This product arrives as shown. In your package you will get 1 AC power cord, 1 body pack with headphone and clip on mic, 1 PA system, 1 wireless mic, 1 9V battery, and 2 AA batteries. This package has everything you need to get started.

This portable PA system is pretty impressive. It has an internal 2200mAH battery, and can hold a good charge. You do not need access to electricity to use this at your events. Just charge it up beforehand and head out. There is a carry handle on it, and it’s not heavy to carry. It is made out of very thick and durable plastic, and metal. This PA system also has the ability to run two mics at the same time, too. Even on DC power, this PA system only uses 30W of power. That is have of a 60W bulb. The wireless mike is so easy to use, as is the body pack. Just turn it on, and make sure the coordinating volume knob is on the unit. That’s it for what you have to do. You can get up to 100ft away from it. You just can’t go around corners or walls. I noticed, that with the body pac, you need to have the foam mike really close to your mic. From past experience, that is not uncommon. You also have as an option, with the body pack, a clip on mic. This way, you don’t have to wear a headset. It’s a great option for a lady who has an expensive hairstyle, or a man or woman if they are wearing glasses. You can wear the headset with glasses though. With this PA system you have a guitar input, a wired mic port, and Aux input, individual volume settings for 2 mics, wired and wireless. There is an option for power when plugged in, and when on battery power. This system is set up in such an easy way, that you don’t even need to read the instructions. I love things as user friendly as this.

A portable PA system can be a great asset for meetings, presentations, family events, PTA meetings, Scout meetings, and so much more. I was teasing my son that when he wouldn’t listen, I would start talking to him through this PA system. I received the look for that comment, lol. But, hey, it’s an idea. I am really impressed with both the quality and ease of use of this package. I am very comfortable recommending it.

I was afforded the opportunity to review William Wang Design’s Birthstone Color Pendant Necklace with Two Swarovski Crystals Set in Platinum, at a reduced cost, in exchange for an unbiased and honest review. This product arrives as shown. In your package you will get 1 gift box with elastic ribbon, 1 velvet jewelry bag, 1 necklace and 1 info card from the designer. The presentation makes a great gift.

I love crystals. The way they shine and glimmer with light is always beautiful. This designer cuts his crystals in such an artistic way. The large Swarovski crystal was cut in a shape that reminds me of a sunburst. All of these cuts pick up light and reflect it with so much color and sparkle. It’s really unbelievable and so impressive. Each Swarovski Crystal is hand set by the designer William Wang. The Marquis cut crystal at the top is gorgeous as well. They are flawless, and so pretty. I can’t express enough how beautiful these stones are in person. They have a Platinum finish on the necklace and settings. The high polished shine should last a long time. I love this style chain. It is really durable, and comfortable against the skin. This chain closes via a Lobster Claw clasp. It is an 18 ½ inch chain and offers a 3 inch extender. So, it will fit a variety of sized women beautifully. This necklace is even made here in the USA. It really doesn’t get any better than that. There are even two small clear crystals on this necklace. They frame up the larger stone on this necklace. This necklace is full of the much needed bling that all of us women need in our lives. It’s a special, artistic necklace, and a beautiful piece.

I am so pleased that I was afforded the opportunity to review Polaroid’s Snap Instant Digital Camera (White) with ZINK Zero Ink Printing Technology, in exchange for an unbiased and honest review. This product arrives as shown. In your package You will receive 1 camera, 1 wrist strap, and 1 micro USB cord. You can go to their website and download the full user instructions for this camera. I received it in white, but it is available in three other colors.

This camera has a lot of features, and is actually fun to use. It is more like a toy, but with the added fun of photos as a result. It makes you think creatively, which is great. You even have a photo booth mode. I am thrilled by that. If you hold the shutter button for 3 seconds, it will take 6 consecutive shots in 10 seconds. This camera doesn’t even take batteries. It charges via a micro USB cable. Which is so easy to do now that there are adapters and USB ports everywhere. The way it prints is fascinating too. It uses a new inkless technology, called ZINK technology. You need to order your own film, known come with the camera. Make sure you order Polaroid 2”x3” Premium Zink Paper Film. The packs inside the box are actually sealed and separated into packs of 10. There is also a card inside the box, it is blue and has barcodes on it. Place the entire film pack and the card into the camera. The card goes in first, barcodes down, so the camera can read them. Then close the hatch. Do not open it again, until the 10 sheets of film have been used. Don’t overexpose the film to light before putting them into the camera too, like I did. I figured out that’s what happened with my first batch of pictures, lol. Put your paper in the camera in a darker room. Another fun feature you can add to your pictures is a photo frame. It will have the white frame like the older instant polaroid pictures had. I love it.  This film paper is also a sticker if you want it to be. The back peels off, and it holds really, really well. The paper is smudge proof, and hard to tear. It’s actually a great quality photo paper. You can do all kinds of crafts, parties, and quick memory moments with this camera. It is a 10 megapixel camera. The photos are actually pretty clear, but I think that’s because of the size of the photos. You can choose from three different color schemes of your photos too, and all with a simple press of a button. You can choose from sepia, black and white and full color. The black and white is really nice. I’m surprised how much I love it, but I do. There is a port on the underside of the camera for a tripod, and there is even a self-timer button to take advantage of that. Everything on this camera is so easy to operate. They really simplified this for everyone’s skill factors. The lens cap is even simple. It’s magnetic. You can’t accidently take a picture and waste your pictures when the lens cap is on. I like that feature. It’s a great camera, I love it. It’s for fun, and it is fun. It is definitely the camera to take to events, and parties. It’s the camera to take out when friends are over, or to make your child smile. I am very comfortable recommending this camera.

I was afforded the opportunity to review Artic Pole’s Mens Lounge Pants Soft Jersey Cotton, at a reduced cost, in exchange for an unbiased and honest review. This product arrives as shown.

I was so happy when they arrived as shown, and as promised. The condition was perfect. There was absolutely no odor to the clothing at all. I didn’t even have any loose threads to cut off. All the stitching was done tight and on point. I ordered the black, but they have them available in other colors. They fit true to size. And, they are not sheer thin at all. People will not see through them, and see your underwear, lol. These pants are 100% cotton. They are so comfortable on. My son loves them, and wears them all of the time. Cotton is so much healthier for your skin. I don’t understand the thought process about polyester in clothing. Cotton allows your skin to breathe, which is so much healthier for you and your skin. The inseam on these is approx. 30inches, which seems to be the average for men’s pajama pants, in my experience. We have washed these pants numerous times on cold and dry them in the dryer. We didn’t experience much shrinkage, and they are still looking great. They have a drawstring and elastic, so they stay on well. They also have 2 pockets in them. There is a fly, and it is buttoned. They have become my son’s favorite lounge pants/pj’s. They are beautiful quality, and I am comfortable recommending them.

I was afforded the opportunity to review iDeaUSA’s Pico Projector, LED Projector, Wireless Projector Support Online Play, Mini Pocket Projector, 120 inch Display, 5 Hours Battery Life, Compatible with DLNA, Airplay Mirroring, in exchange for an unbiased and honest review. In your package you will get 1 storage case, 1 tripos, 1 USB car adapter, 1 AC USB adapter, 1 micro USB cable, 1 carabineer clip on the storage bag, 1 remote control, and 1 instruction book.

This projector is so tiny, it’s too cute, lol. Besides that, it is so portable. My husband is excited about the size. He says it’s perfect for work presentations. I love the storage case included. It’s thick and durable. Everything has a slot in the dense foam, and it holds it well too. There is an open, mesh pocket to store your paper work in it too. The buttons are clear and labeled on this projector. Both the aux port, micro SD port, and the Mirco USB port are on the back of the projector. You need to supply your own Aux cable if needed. Go ahead and plug the projector to charge when it arrives. My projector would not turn on at first. I contacted the company. It turns out that I just had to reset it. Underneath the Micro SD card slot, you will see a tiny pinhole. Take a pin, and press through there. You will feel it click the reset button. I’ve had no issues since then. I do think that they should include a pin key with the projector. I had one from my solar lights. Most arrive with a tiny pin key. It has about a 5 hour run time on a full charge, and you can use it while it is plugged in too. To turn on your projector, press and hold the power button, on the side of the projector for around 4 seconds. You do the same to power it off too. Once it is on, it takes an additional 4 seconds for the projector to project, so to speak. Now, you cannot turn the projector on with the remote, but you can turn it off with the remote. The IR to aim your remote at is also on the back of the projector. It runs fairly quiet too. The image this projector has is amazing for something so small, lol. I know it said that the screen it projects is large, at 55-120 inches, but I really didn’t believe it at all. They so proved me wrong. I was able to view a much smaller screen size, at close range, perfectly clear too. The screen was actually only around a foot wide. I played with it in a very bright room, and displayed it against a pleather footrest. It was very, very clear.  The dial to focus your projector is on the right side of the projector, from the back end of the projector. It’s the only thing on that side. It is really easy to focus this projector too. I did many different functions through here to test it out. Movies, photos, Word Docs, Excel Docs, Miracast, Micro SD card. I was able to focus everything in clearly. I could only test the Miracast from my Android phone. My new computer has Windows 10, and they haven’t added the Miracast capability yet, but they are working on it fortunately. They state that the technology used, to have such great focus capability, is “DLP Technology which features advanced Multi-Color processing, producing exceptional contrast ratios”. It is stated to have a life span of 25,000 hours. The internal battery is a 5000mAh battery, that’s why it has such a long run time on one charge. The lumen count is 80 lumens, but it really is amazingly bright and clear. The lumen count surprises me. It has 1080p resolution. This projector is only 3 inches square, and is 1 ¼ inches tall. It has a red LED light on when charging, and a blue LED light on when it’s turned on. When the projector first turns on, it turns on in its menu mode. Just scroll through and pick which option you want. The options are clearly labeled: iso/Mac, Android, DLNA, Connect Pico to Wi-Fi, Setting and Micro SD. To do the ios, Android, Mac and Windows features, you need to download the Miracast app. It came right up in the Google Playstore, and was free to download. When I opened my app, the phone started looking forward and hooked up to the Pico without me doing anything. I love, love, love how easy that was. I have Microsoft Word and Excel on my phone and more, it’s a Note 5, and I was able to do my forms and see what I was doing through the projector on a very large scale. This is great when you and your partner have to go over home related projects, budgets and more, and especially handy with work related activities. My husband does Energy Management Training Classes, and he will be able to use this projector now. I had no trouble viewing content from my Micro SD cards. I tried different brands, but all were class 10s. That is the best for photo and video quality. It played my Minions movie I had downloaded on a card, but the volume was very low for some reason, through the projector. With my phone playing through the projector, the volume was much louder. You can plug in an external speaker and play through it if you need it louder. The DLNA is easy to use, and it also functions well. You can link your camera to your phone, and then with Miracast, view on the screen, what’s coming into it from your camera. I hope that explains the gist of DLNA. It’s pretty straight forward and easy to do. This is good if you took a lot of photos, but your phone doesn’t have Bluetooth, and you want to view them in large format. The only things I would change would be the audio volume and to add a key pin, in case of need to reset.

Overall, I find this projector easy to use. It has been holding its charge very well, and the picture is really bright, and clear. I am having no issues with its functions. I can’t wait for Windows 10 to catch up so I can use my computer through the projector. I am really enjoying this projector, and I am comfortable recommending it.

I am quite pleased that I was afforded the opportunity to review Deal Chaser’s Pyle PTCD56UBGR Vintage Retro Classic Style Bluetooth Turntable System with Vinyl/MP3 Recording, at a discount, in exchange for an unbiased and honest review. In your package you will receive 1 retro audio component, 1 remote control, and 1 instruction booklet.  You will need to supply the 2 AAA batteries for the remote. No tool is necessary to access the battery compartment.

This unit is a one piece unit. There is nothing to put together, but a lot of pieces of tape and Styrofoam to remove, lol. They went out of their way to make sure the turn table and the whole unit was protected during shipment. There is a little white plastic piece that slides off the head of the needle. Don’t forget to remove it. The antennae is a wire cord off of the back of the unit. You will need to tape that up somewhere so you can get the FM and AM channels. Also on the back are RCA inputs and outputs, as well as the power cord. This stereo system has so much it can do. Besides being able to play all 3 sizes of LPs, it has Bluetooth, a cassette player, a CD player, headphone and AUX ports, a USB port, and a FM and AM radio. It can also do Vinyl recording if you have the equipment. That is the one thing I could not test. You can control the CD player and record through the remote control unit. All of the controls are well labeled. It came up immediately to pair with it, and came up as Pyle Audio to pair. No code was needed to pair either.  This Bluetooth will do anything your regular Bluetooth can do. Mine has been working flawlessly. I have forgotten how albums sounded. This one brought back so many memories. It sounds as good as any of our players ever did. Who can ever forget that little underlying static. Aaahhh, memories. The CD player works perfectly, and I love how I can operate it with the remote from across the room. If you are a lover of audio books, you will definitely appreciate this system. The sound quality is pretty darn good for an all in one unit. It’s clear, and the instrumental and bass sounds are enjoyable. Is it the loudest system you will ever hear, definitely not. But it is still quite enjoyable. I was even able to get both AM and FM radio stations clear and loud. I have mixed reception in home with radio. So, with their built in antennae, I had no issues to deal with. The cassette player is on the right side of the unit. It has no pop out door. It’s the push in style. I had to search high and low for a cassette, but it is also working as it should, lol. I love how there is everything in this unit. There is something for everyone.

Aesthetically, I love the dark grey look. It brings a more modern edge to the unit. The only thing I had wrong with the cabinet is on the lower left hand side, toward the front, part of the veneer has come up a smidge, and there is a tiny bump up in the pressboard there. It’s not that noticeable, unless you are looking for it, but I know it’s there. It is also available in the traditional brown cabinet too. It is 18 inches long, 14 1/2 inches deep, and 9 1/4 inches tall, and these are my measurements. I am really enjoying this audio unit, and I am definitely comfortable recommending it.
