Great wrist support from this Winmax Gym Elastic Wrist Support.

Standard

I have trouble off and on with my right wrist. I have for years. When I have a flare up, I have to use a brace. I haven’t used one in this style before. I have to get used to the thumb hole. But, after about having it on for 10 minutes or so, I forget about it. The material is Neoprene. There is no steel or foam on this product, like noted on their ad page, lol. It looks exactly like their photos though. Whoever made the ad obviously wrote the wrong information down. You put your thumb through the thumb hole, and then wrap it over the top of your hand, and then around your wrist to your desired fit. It definitely provides great wrist support. It is a compression strap, you can feel it, and it works well. The Velcro is generous, and it provides a secure closure. It is very easy to put on yourself as well. Mine arrived with all the stitching done tight and on point, and there was no odor to it either. Just the usual Neoprene scent. I am very happy with the overall quality. It gives me the support I need without hindering the use of my hand. I am not only happy I found this wrist support for myself, but I am also comfortable recommending this product.

Express your love with Oudin 925 Sterling Silver Cubic Zircon Heart and Bead Lariat Necklace.

Standard

I love changing things up with minimal effort, lol. Being able to add different jewelry, even to your t-shirts, really changes the mood of you look. It’s also a great way to express your mood. This is a really pretty necklace too. I love the lariat style this necklace has, with the chain and silver bead threaded through the heart. This necklace is made out of 925 Sterling Silver. It has a very pretty high polish shine to it. The chain itself is also really pretty. With all of its cuts, it sparkles on its own when the light hits it. The heart is also completely covered with Cubic Zircons. A stone which is harder than Crystal. All of my stones were set well. I have no loose or chipped stones. They offer the bling and sparkle every woman needs. This is an 18 inch necklace as well, and that includes the extension. It closes via a traditional circular spring clasp. It is easy to put on yourself. I like how it lies, and with the way the heart is threaded through, you don’t always have to be fiddling with it, to straighten it out. It is very fashionable, and I think it would make a great gift for any age. I also think this necklace would be very pretty with a t-shirt or a dress. There is something a little more carefree about the lariat style. This particular set up expresses that you’re the one they love, and only you. That’s a priceless sentiment.

Wish upon a star with Oudin 925 Sterling Silver Purple Zircon Star Necklace.

Standard

The easiest way to change up an outfit or express your mood is jewelry. If you like to follow the fashion trends, but want to remain unique, then again, jewelry is the easiest way to do that. I love the purple stars on this necklace. There are 2 different sized purple hearts on this necklace, surrounded by 4 round purple stones, and many clear ones. The stones used on this necklace are Cubic Zircons. They are actually harder than Crystals. All mine are done well. I have no chips or loose settings. The pendant is really sturdy too, not bendy at all. This necklace and pendant are also made out of 925 Sterling Silver. I love the high polished shine it has. This is a shorter style necklace. It is just under 15 inches long, and has a 2 inch extender on in. I personally like the added length from the extender for myself. The pendant is so sparkly and is just over an inch in length. It definitely brings the added sparkle every girl needs in her life. I think it would make a great gift for any age. I also think this necklace would be very pretty with a t-shirt, on up to a dress.

A lot of power in a little speaker. – VicTSing’s Vtin Royaler Premium Stereo Bluetooth 4.0 Speaker 20W.

Standard

I was afforded the opportunity to review VicTSing’s Vtin Royaler Premium Stereo Bluetooth 4.0 Speaker 20W Output with Aluminum Housing, in exchange for an unbiased and honest review. This product arrives as shown. In your package you will get 1 speaker, 1 micro USB cord, and 1 3.5mm to 3.5mm Aux Cable. Mine was sent to me directly from the seller.


My family loves to listen to music and audio books. We listen to both over Bluetooth speakers. This speaker has to be the most powerful of the smaller Bluetooth speakers, that I have seen. The closest, and it was a little longer, was 16W. This one is a large 20W, which is impressive for a speaker like this. You can feel it when you hold it. It weighs more than most. It is also less likely to get knocked around because of the higher weight. It  has 2 long silicone bars underneath of it to keep it in place. The housing is a thick and sturdy aluminum. This is really nice in person. You can tell the quality upon holding it. This also has a pretty large internal battery, 5000mAh. That is also not common. It can get up to 8 hours of continuous talk/play time, unless you blast your music, and then it will be shorter. It takes more juice to run the 20W drivers, so even if you have a smaller internal battery on a speaker, it may go as long as this one. This speaker, I am very happy to tell you, operates while charging. So, you can leave it plugged in and play it for as long as you want to. This is a great home speaker because of this, and it’s smaller size, makes it great even for small spaces. It is 8 inches long, 2 ½ inches tall and just under 2 ½ inches wide. The controls are on top. There is a power button, call button, and + and – button on this unit. The Aux port and micro USB port is on the back. The sound quality is absolutely wonderful. It is clear and crisp. The bass and instrumental sound wonderful. Do not freak out, if it sounds quiet but when you press the volume on the speaker, and it says it’s already the highest it can go. Adjust the volume from your phone or tablet, and it does go much higher! You can go up to around 33 feet away from the speaker, but not through walls or doors, it will drop the signal. This unit has Bluetooth V4.0 in it. It paired immediately with my Note 5 phone, and Galaxy tablet. It comes up as VTIN Royaler, and no code was needed to pair. Press and hold the power button to turn it on, and then go into pairing mode. You have to hold it for about 5 seconds. It will talk to you and state that it has entered pairing mode. It tells you powered on and powered off too. It only rings when a phone call is calling. My calls were also very clear through the speaker, and I have had no lag. It will go right back to playing your music too, when you hang up. I love everything about this speaker. It looks minimal in design, but it is far from minimal. It is the best little Bluetooth speaker I have come across. It is a little powerhouse, and I am very comfortable recommending it.

A beast of a power station. – ISELECTOR’s 21A 10-Port USB Charger Stand Charging Dock Station with 1700J 2 Outlet Power Strip Surge Protector.

Standard

This ISelector Power Unit is a one piece unit, plug and play. There is a power button on the top of the unit. This is a beast of a power station/surge protector. It offers a lot of power, and you can hear the internal fan, keeping it cool. It doesn’t get hot to the touch while in use. There is an area on the underside that does get warm to the touch though. The fan opening is on the right side, so make sure you keep that clear. It has 2, 3 prong outlets and 10 USB ports. It also has 10 slots on top to stack your charging phones and tablets. I love the power in this unit. For the specs, this unit has 10 USB ports, that can all charge at 2.4A 5V. This is a 5V 21A 105W unit. It’s a beast, and I love it, lol. We all have higher powered phones and tablets. We also have a lot of other items that charge via USB. It has built in surge protection. Its Peak current is 15000A, and its response time is 1NS, Surge energy 1700J. It has the Smartflow IC Technology in it, so it can detect what your particular item needs, and delivers it up to 2.4A. For example, a basic IPhone can charge on 1A. My phone only trickle charges, unless it gets at least 2A. That’s a good difference. I love how you can charge a ton of items at one time, and it doesn’t slow down your charging. My other chargers are going to annoy me now, lol. You get instantly spoiled by the power in this unit. I love how well my unit is working. I’ve had no issues with mine. I am comfortable recommending it.

An essential oil diffuser that can run all day.

Standard

I was afforded the opportunity to review Deckey’s 500ml 7 Colors Changing Ultrasonic Humidifier, in exchange for an unbiased and honest review. This product arrives as shown. In your package you will receive 1 diffuser, 1 AC power cord, and 1 water pitcher.

 

I love diffusers, and use them all of the time. I suffer from numerous anaphylactic reactions due to insane life threatening allergies. So, essential oils are in our daily lives, and they really help. Using a diffuser is the only healthy way to diffuse essential oils throughout the home. They use ionization to break up the particles of oil and water, and spread them into the air. The particles are small enough to inhale. Heating up essential oils is actually unhealthy. It changes their chemical makeup. This unit, even with the lights on, never gets hot to the touch. It remains cool to the touch. The power cord plugs in underneath. The top half lifts off to fill the reservoir with your water, and essential oil of choice. Start with about 7-9 drops of oil, and increase from there. It depends on the size of your room, and the strength of your oil. I love using Eucalyptus oil in mine. It really helps to open the airways, and sinuses, while smelling wonderful too. This particular diffuser has timed settings, as well as a stay on function. You can run it with or without the LEDs, and you can run it on low mist, or high mist. I love all of the options. You press the mist button to turn on the mist, and press it over and over until you get to your desired time setting, or full on. There is a little green LED that moves through the time settings and to full on. There is a separate button for the mist level, and there is a button for the lights. Press it once and they will go on and slowly roll through an array of colors. If you continue to press the light button, it will go through each color individually, so you can choose which color you want on. You can even use the lights, without the diffuser running. This diffuser even runs very quietly. Just remember to clean it out and add fresh water daily. My unit is running flawlessly. I can run it all night with the large reservoir. If it was to run out and I wasn’t paying attention, no worries, it has an automatic shut off when the water runs out. This feature works very well. I am very comfortable recommending this product.

Style & Comfort. – Yacun’s Women’s Off Shoulder Short Casual Tunic Dress Shirt.

Standard

I was afforded the opportunity to review Yacun’s Women’s Off Shoulder Short Mini Casual Tunic Dress Shirt, at a reduced cost, in exchange for an unbiased and honest review. This product arrives as shown.

I love being comfy. But, I really do not like looking like a slob. So, shirts like this are a real gem. This shirt is t-shirt soft, but can be worn out for an evening of fun. You can wear it to hang for the day, or you can use it as a really cute beach cover up. it is light and airy. Because the sleeve cut outs were done so well, you can still wear a full bra for support. My shirt arrived in perfect condition. All of the stitching was done perfectly. I didn’t even have any loose threads to trim off. My shirt also arrived with no weird odor to it; for those of you who are sensitive to that, as I am. I am 5’3″ and I could wear it as a little dress. I would have to be careful of what I wore underneath it though, it is short. It is not see through at all. I find it to run true to size per their size chart. For those of you who are taller, it is tunic length at 31 inches, and looks really cute with a belt as well. This is a pretty carefree shirt. It is really easy to wash and dry. There was no tag in the shirt though, stating the exact material it is made out of. It feels like a cotton blend, but that is just a guess. At it’s price point it is currently at, it’s a fun shirt for those warmer months.

Soft, sumptuous leather. – DR Leather’s Weekender, Shoulder Handbag.

Standard

I was afforded the opportunity to review DR Leather’s Weekender Crossbody Messenger Shoulder Handbag Tote Bag, in exchange for an unbiased and honest review. This product arrives as shown.


I love leather. Years ago I owned a horse, and did showing and training. Ever since then, I have loved quality leather items; the look, feel and smell of it. This bag’s leather is absolutely sumptuous. My mom, who is 70, took one look at it, and said, “Now that’s a purse to fight over”, lol. My bag arrived in perfect condition. The stitching was done tight an on point. The leather smelled like beautiful leather, no chemical smell whatsoever. The texture of the leather is soft and supple. Words can’t express enough how wonderful it is. On the outside of this purse, is a large zippered compartment. This is perfect to store your quick, grab items, like your wallet and I.D. Anything, that you just want to grab. The main compartment of this purse can be opened two different ways. There is a long zipper that runs across one side of the bag, or you can undo the belt strap on the top of the bag. This bag is so versatile with these openings. You can use this as a tote bag and carry large items, or a weekend’s worth of clothes, with the larger opening. Or, you can use it as a regular purse with the zippered opening. Inside the purse. Most of it is unlined. You can see more of the rich, wonderful leather. There is a large, open pocket in the bag too. The area where your belongings would lie on, while you carry it, will lie on top of the rest of the lined area. This bag is made very well. The zippers work smoothly. The zipper pulls are leather, and large in size. The hardware is metal. The shoulder/carry strap is adjustable, and leather also. This bag offers a new hip, modern look. It’s fun, functional and ready to meet your needs. I just love it, and I am very comfortable recommending it.

A survival tool for your car. -BlizeTec’s Survival Knife: Best 5-in-1 Tactical Pocket Folding Knife with LED Light, Seatbelt Cutter, Glass Breaker & Magnesium Fire Starter.

Standard

I was afforded the opportunity to review BlizeTec’s Survival Knife: Best 5-in-1 Tactical Pocket Folding Knife with LED Light, Seatbelt Cutter, Glass Breaker & Magnesium Fire Starter, at a reduced cost, in exchange for an unbiased and honest review. This package arrives very nicely packaged, as shown. The presentation makes it a great gift.

We, as a family believe in being prepared. This is one way to make sure you are prepared in your car. So many people think of their homes, but then forget to prepare their cars. We all have a multi-safety tool in our vehicle, but this one beats them all. Ours do not have a knife and fire starter built into them. I do have a separate knife and fire starter though. I love having it all together like this. This one can stay in either the center consul or glove compartment. It takes up like no room at all too. I love, love, love that they included the Nylon Sheath too. It has a belt loop sewn onto it too, in case you want to carry it on you. Check your state for laws regarding blade length. The front part of the knife is done in the drop point style, and the material used to make this unit is Stainless Steel with an anodized aluminum handle. We are allowed to carry a 4 inch blade and less, here in NC. The blade is a basic partially serrated blade. The blade on this knife is a 3.5 inch blade, and the whole unit is 5 inches long. You can also carry it on you with the attached belt clip. The belt clip is screwed on, and pretty strong. The other tools built into the unit are the seat belt cutter, and the glass breaker hammer. These are two essentials that all cars should always have in them. Located up by the seatbelt cutter, which is pretty sharp, is the magnesium fire starter. Just pull it out and use your knife as the scraper. That could save your life if your car broke down in the middle of nowhere. Last but not least is the LED flashlight. It comes with button batteries already installed. They are replaceable, and the instructions are included. This can be easy to accidently turn on. When you put it in the holster, place it in seatbelt cutter side down. If you turn the flashlight clockwise, it turns on, counter clockwise turns it off. The flashlight comes out, so careful you do not lose it. It is always a great thing to have a backup lighting source, even if it’s small. The LED isn’t replaceable, but LEDs last so long, and are quite durable. The knife is a liner lock knife. It opens with your thumb, and then to shut it, you need to use your thumb to push aside the liner bar, while pushing it closed with your other fingers. It can be done one handed easily with this knife. The overall quality of this product is solid. It works as described, and quite well too. I am amazed at how handy this product is. It is making my son’s car safer now. So I am obviously very comfortable in recommending this product.

Perfect for home or office. – Poweradd’s 6-Outlet Home/Office 1625W/13A Power Strip with 6 USB Charging Ports.

Standard

I was afforded the opportunity to review Poweradd’s 6-Outlet Home/Office 1625W/13A Power Strip with 6 USB Charging Ports (5V/2.4A*2 and 5V/1A*4), I exchange for an unbiased and honest review. This product arrives nicely packaged as shown.

I am really happy with this power strip. Not only can you plug in 6 three prong plugs, but you can also plug in 6 USB’s as well. There are 4 1A ports, and 2 2.4A ports. I personally do not have much stuff that charges off of 1A, but I know a lot of IPhone people do. My Note 5 and tablets like 2.4A. I have had no charging issues with their USB ports. They are functioning perfectly. The three prong plug ports are very snug. Your item will not just unplug on you because you accidently tripped over the cord. I have run many electronics, including laptops, on this strip, and it has been perfect. The construction is solid. It’s a very well made unit. Since it is a 1625W/13A unit, it can handle the load. This power strip even has an on/off switch which is great for when you go out of town, or use it at work, and don’t want to leave everything running when you leave for the night. My unit has not become hot during use either. The cord appears very sturdy and well made, as well as the unit. The USBs fit into the ports snugly. I have no complaints about this power strip, and I most definitely recommend it.
