The safe way to have candle light. – Top Race’s LED Color Changing Real Wax Candles, Flameless Weatherproof Candle Lights with Remote & Timer.

Candles, candles, candles! I love them. These real wax, battery operated candles are fun to use. You have no fire worries, or burn worries around your children and pets. You can fall asleep with them on, or walk out of the room, and not have to worry. A great piece of mind while enjoying a candle like experience. My youngest is currently afraid of real candles. It’s not even worth lighting one, because he freaks out, and it’s no longer relaxing to have going. Another plus side of battery operated candles, is that you don’t have to worry about what’s burning from the candle into your air. This set from Top Race is pretty nice. You get three candles and 1 remote control in your package. Each candle requires 3 AAA batteries that you have to supply. No screwdriver is needed to access the compartment. The battery for the remote is included. Just pull out the plastic from the battery compartment before use. On the bottom of each candle is also an on/off switch. You need to turn them on here to use them. You can leave that in the on position and turn them off with the remote. Remote controls make everything better. The candles are different sizes, which makes for a nice trio: 4”, 5”, and 6”. These are pillar candle style, and are approx.. 3” across. Each candle has LEDs in it, and afford 12 different colors. With the remote you have the choice of twelve different colors. You can have them rotate through the colors, or stay on a solid color of your choice. You can also have them be solid on, or in a simulated flickering mode. The flickering mode is actually very enjoyable. The white LED and the yellow LED makes these look realistic while on. I love that the exterior is done in a real wax. They are fragrant free, but you can smell the wax when you first open them up. One of my candles had some cracks in it upon arrival. I received them to review, so I did not return them. You can obviously exchange them if that happened to you. When on, these do not put off an odor. The do not even get warm to the touch. If you use rechargeable batteries, then you really have an eco-friendly product here. These are great for relaxing evenings, romantic evenings, power outages, by your bathtub, outside on your patio, and more. They are weather friendly, so you can use them outside. You can even set these on a 4 or 8 hour timer. You are really going to find these enjoyable. I know I have.

Always be prepared with Wotech’s 8000mAh 2-Output Fast Charging Power Bank.

I believe that you should have at least one power bank per person in your home for an emergency. In most homes nowadays, for example, the home telephone is a cell phone. If your power is out for the day, and your phone goes dead, that could be serious in an emergency. Almost everyone has flashlights, phones, tablets, and more that have internal batteries that need to be charged. This way, you will always have back up power in an emergency. Power banks, like this 8000mAh power bank from Wotech, can be used when you are out and about, or on the road for work, and more. My husband uses a power bank daily. They really come in handy. This particular one is well made, and highly portable. It measures out at only 5” long x 2 ¾” wide, and ½” thick. It does come with a micro USB cord to charge it with. It does not get hot to the touch while charging. I love the denim look, as they call it. It’s a very sleek and sporty power bank. When fully charged it will display 4 little blue LEDs. Each LED represents 25% of its power level, so it’s easy to see when your power level is down, and you need to recharge it. There is a power button on this unit. It’s located on the face plate where the ports are. If this gets pressed by accident, it will shut off after being on for a minute without anything plugged into the USB port. The two ports are different. The one closest to the power button is the 2.4A max output port. The other port is the 1A max output port. It has over-charge protection, over-discharged protection, over-voltage protection, over-current protection, and short circuit protection. This power bank even charges my son’s highly finicky Samsung 3 tablet. It is really picky on what it will charge with. I have never had an electronic device like that one before, lol. I can easily charge his pad from empty, as well as my Galaxy Note 5 from empty on this power bank. I even have some left over. Overall, I am very happy with this power bank. It works very well and is highly portable.

Power on the go.-Wotech’s 10000mAh Two-Output Fast Charging Power Bank.

We are big power bank users in our home. My husband especially uses them all of the time. Even when he goes to bed, and uses his phone as his alarm clock. He doesn’t have an open outlet by his side of the bed, so a power bank is his only option. We have our cable phone and router system tied into that outlet. This power bank by Wotech is a fantastic size at 10,000mAh. That is a great and very convenient size battery. This power bank is white in color. It is lightweight, and a great size at 5 ½” long by 2 ¾” wide and approx. ½” thick. It charges via the included micro USB cord. There are 2 USB out ports on it, so you can charge two items at the same time. It even has auto shut off. So, if you accidently press the power button, and turn it on, it will shut off after about a minute without anything plugged into it. This power bank also has over charge protection, over current and short circuit protection, over voltage protection, over discharged protection. In other words, you can feel good about using this power bank with your expensive tablets, phones, and more. You can charge anything that charges via a USB cord. There are dedicated USB ports on this unit. They are only labeled out though. The one closest to the power button is the 2A out port, and the one furthest from the power button is the 1A out port. IPhones charge well on the 1A. My larger Note 5 Android phone, needs the 2A port to charge. It does charge well on this unit. I topped off the charge on my phone, and this power bank still had 4 blue LEDs lit up on it. I like power banks with these lights. It’s easier to see when your power bank needs to be recharged. Each bar represents 25% of its power level. I can charge my phone twice and my tablet once on this power bank, easily. It has not become hot to the touch while charging either. It’s definitely a keeper. We rely on them daily. They are great when you are out and about with work, and travel. They are also imperative to have in the home, in case of a power outage.

An incredible power station. – Ocean Technology’s UNITEK 10-Port(with 1 Port QC 2.0) USB Charger Charging Station for Multiple Device with SmartIC Tech.

If you have a family of electronics, you need this charging station. It is powerful, and oh so handy to have and use! There are a total of 10 USB ports on this charging station from Unitek, sold by Ocean Technologies. Each port can deliver a charge up to 2.4A, and 1 port is a QC 2.0A port. This is a 60W unit. This port has a different color inside of it, so easy to see. It is the port all the way on the right. All the ports offer a nice snug fit. The power cord comes in 2 pieces and attaches into the left side of this stand. This is the coolest stand too. It comes with 10 plastic dividers, that push into the grooves on top of the unit. You can set them up any way you want, or leave the off all together. With them on, you can stand your charging items between those dividers. I put several on, in a wider configuration, and was able to stand my power banks up between them, while charging them. I love how organized that is. It takes up so much less space this way as well. Since each port delivers so much power, you can actually charge a lot of items at one time. Most of my items require the larger amps, so this is perfect for me. I can charge phones, tablets, batteries, and power banks, all at one time. This is what they said about the QC port: “The 1 charging port with Qualcomm Quick Charge 2.0, which allow certain Qualcomm Snapdragon based devices charge up to 75% faster than devices that use conventional charging methods.” I think that’s pretty impressive, myself. This unit is larger, but does not have a built in fan. Even so, it only gets a little warm to the touch while charging. It comes with a US plug, but can accept voltage worldwide: 100-240V input. So, if you do a lot of traveling, just bring a plug adapter with you, and you are good. This charging station is even energy efficient. It received the highest rating from the U.S. Department of Energy of DOE 6. I like knowing that. It’s a smart charger, and supplies what you need to your unit, as well as, it won’t over charge your item. That is an important feature as well. So far so good for me with this charger. It is performing perfectly, and I am loving it.

Perfect to hang your stage lighting. – D.L. Life’s Truss Hook Clamps.

I’ve reviewed my share of stage lighting, so I was quite pleased to finally get my hands on some of the clamps. Even though I knew these D.L. Life Truss Hook Clamps were 2 inch clamps, they are very impressive in person. These are metal, thick, and made well. They arrive with a high polished aluminum finish. They are made out of Aluminum. They are easy to operate, and securely attach your lighting. All the hardware is included with the clamps. That includes the bolt to attach it to the light itself. The top of the clamp operates on a hinge system. Unscrew the wingnut, about half way, and the bolt mechanism slides out of the way for you to open up the clamp. It makes it so fast and easy to do, since you do not need to remove the wing nut to open the clamp. These will fit a 2” pipe perfectly. They are 1 ¼” wide. Since most lights ae positioned above your head, it’s great to have such an easy system to operate. All of my clamps I received in this set of 4 are in great working order. They should last for years.

Ooh Lala! – Dimore’s Men’s Cotton Underwear Boxer Briefs.

Underwear is fun to wear, and you know it’s true. This set of 5 boxer briefs from Dimore is no exception. I mean, ooh lala, there’s no fly in these babies. Talk about fashion forward. I know that’s what all men think about when they are out underwear shopping. Ok, I know I’m being silly, but these are pretty sharp looking. Not only are they modern and sporty, but they are made out of the softest material: 95% Cotton and 5% Spandex. They are breathable, and soft on your tushy. The fit makes them great for all day wear, and for sports related activities. You have great freedom of movement in these. They do run true to size as well. Our set arrived in perfect condition. One pair has some frayed threads that needed to be trimmed off. It didn’t affect the pair at all. I couldn’t even see how the color thread was related to the pair of underwear. I thought it was funny and odd all at the same time. There was no odor to the undies upon arrival either. They used a Flatlock stitching to reduce any chance of chaffing or irritation. My husband says thy are very comfortable on. The waistband is a nice smooth, and wide elastic at 1 3/8^th inches. It lies nice and flat, even with movement. I love cotton underwear like this. It washes well, and only becomes softer with washing. They designed the front of the boxer briefs well, so even without the fly, you will not feel bound up. You should feel comfortable even after a long day of working. My husband says they do. Overall, he likes them. They are well made, and made out of quality of material.

Increase the value of your home, and make your life better at the same time, with Topgreener’s 24W Ultra-High Speed Dual USB Smart Charging Receptacle, 15A TR.

We are ruled by our electronics nowadays. Ok, it might not be that bad, but our home wiring does need to be updated to meet our modern day needs. I hate looking for adapters. That, and they tend to be bulky, and easily knocked out of the socket. It’s been more than once, where I thought my tablet or phone was charging, to find out that the adapter, had been pulled slightly out of the socket. No charging had taken place. We have other Topgreener outlets, and we love them. I was thrilled to be able to review their 24W high speed dual USB charging receptacle. It is a tamper resistant outlet as well, which is great if you have little kids. They won’t be able to put tiny things into the outlet, shocking themselves. There are 2 high speed USB outlets as well as 1 3-prong plug, in this unit. The 2 USB ports were done well. Your USBs will have a nice, snug fit, with perfect charging. They are 4.8A total output between the 2. These ports are smart ports as well. They recognize your device, and deliver the power it needs to charge it, and nothing more. For example, an IPhone uses around 1A to charge, whereas my Note 5 likes 2A. It installs easily. You do need to provide your own wall plate. The USB modules are even replaceable. The top of the unit lifts off if you use a flat head screw driver to pry it up from the side of it. The instruction sheet that comes with this unit is really easy to understand and follow. With the wires the white is the neutral, the black is the hot, and the green is the ground. Like I said, easy to install. Lol, make sure you turn the power off before switching out your outlet. They even provide a 2 year warranty with this product.

It’s so nice to not have to use adapters. It makes for a cleaner look as well. Outlets like this one just make it better. Especially if you have a counter top area where you always charge your items. Or bedside, at each side of the bed, for the two of you to charge your phones and tablets, while you sleep. You really can’t get more convenient. With a little investment, you really do up the value of your home as well.

One yummy MRE. – Western Frontier’s ULTIMATE MRE.

My family is used to MRE meals. Between military, and camping, my guys have been exposed to a lot. One of my sons used to love eating them. He was my Guinea Pig for this MRE from Western Frontier. The packaging on this MRE cracked me up. It states not for resale, property of the US Government. This is a complete meal. It harbors more food than you can eat at one sitting. If you were carrying a 75lb pack and on your feet all day, you would need to eat all of the calories this provides in one meal. Since everything is individually wrapped, just save wheat you can’t eat for a later time. Everything you can think of is included in this set, except for water to activate the heater. You need to provide your own water. They have a 5 and ½ year shelf life, and the date is clearly labeled on the packaging. The shelf life requires that they are stored at 71 degrees Fahrenheit or under. You will receive a random meal in your order. We received Chicken with Tomato and Feta. My son said the chicken was really good, and he wasn’t expecting it to be as tasty as it was. He was very happy with this meal. In your meal you will get the heater bag with clearly labeled instructions, your main meal, matches, a napkin, sugar, vegetable crackers, peanut M&M’s, raisons, an energy bar, 2 chicklet pieces of gum, a fruit punch beverage, cheese spread with jalapenos, instant coffee, coffee powdered creamer, salt, a plastic spoon, and a moist towelette. My son said the cheese spread was quite yummy, and he loved the fruit punch powder. You need to provide your own water for all of the beverages as well, as well as a cup. Having bottles water on you or a canteen full of water would be highly beneficial. You will need to keep a knife on you, or scissors to open the packages. You can eat directly out of the packaging, but it might be awkward and a little difficult. The heater bag gets very hot when activated with water, so if you are in the field, use your gloves to handle the packaging when heated. Each meal may contain different items in it. You are guaranteed a beverage, treat, main course, etc.. totaling 1250 calories. Overall, compared to others my family has eaten, this one stands up well. The flavor was very good, and the chicken itself was actually moist and flavorful. There is a lot of food in one MRE. I am comfortable recommending this product.

Fashion forward with aHook’s 2016 Georgette Chiffon Solid Colors Infinity Scarf.

My mother is a fan of infinity scarves. They are popular all over the world too. I consider these scarves like jewelry. They can really change the look and feel of an outfit. We all have our favorite pieces that we wear to death. Just by adding an infinity scarf, you can change up your usual look. That way you can keep on wearing your favorite pieces, without people realizing, lol. This particular scarf from aHook is lightweight, and well made. Mine arrived in perfect condition. Even with the lightweight, polyester Chiffon fabric, all of the stitching was done tight and on point. The scarf arrived with no odor to it whatsoever, as well. They do have this scarf available in other color choices. This is an extra-long infinity scarf. You can double loop it, wrap it around your waist, shoulders, hair, and more. You can add scarf jewelry, and broaches to achieve your desired look. With a scarf this long, you really have so many design ideas. If you aren’t feeling creative enough, you can find all types of ideas online. You can wash this scarf in a machine on gentle, and alone in a lingerie bag. Then lie flat to dry. Or, just wash it by hand. Another great point about infinity scarves like this one, is that they are great for any occasion. Especially since they are so comfortable on. Overall, I am really happy with this scarf from aHook.

Meet the Dragon from Vomach.

I live in a home of gamers, lol. Especially computer gaming. These headphones are definitely getting some use. The have two 3.5mm cables and one USB cable attached to it. The USB is to power the green LED lighting throughout the headphones. I love the green LED lighting on these Vomach Dragon headphones. It really adds to the gaming environment. The mic on these actually lights up green as well. You do not have to use the LED lighting in order to use the headphones. My younger son’s computer isn’t set up for him to use the LEDs while using the headphones, unfortunately. My computer is, as well as my older son’s. One Aux cable powers the mic and headphones, and one just does the headphones, and no mic. No, they are not labeled, lol. My younger son always speaks to his friend while they play games, and the mic has been very clear for him. There is a mic off switch and a volume control bar, part way down the 2meter cable, and they are very easy to operate. It’s pretty generous in size, which is good for him, because he can’t sit still. The mic is clear on both ends too. You will not have to yell and keep repeating yourself with this one. I listened to videos and the sound is very clear. Both the bass and instrumental were pretty level. No weird pitches, no static, or lag. My son says they are perfect. And he is not a fan of headphones. He’d rather scream into the computer. It’s a lot of fun, lol. The ends of the Aux cables are gold plated for enhanced performance. The headband itself has a spring loaded adjustment to fit your head, and allow for comfortable movement and fit. The ear padding is very soft on the ears as well. On the inside of the ear cups you will see a screen printed Dragon; a nice touch if I do say so myself. Overall, we are very pleased with the Dragon from Vomach.
