Incredibly durable! – Bomber & Company’s Bomber Barrel Duffel Bag and Dopp Kit.

One can really never have enough bags. They wear out, and are always needed. My guys do a lot of on the road work. So, we go through bags. They are tough on them! My husband is also military, so I was intrigued by their military tough claims. I couldn’t wait to play with these bags. This girl loves a challenge. I was also intrigued how they raised over $500,000 in their kickstarter project. That is impressive. You will get the two bags in your set. They arrive in pretty cool packaging as well. The two bags are made out of 100% PU Coated Ripstop Nylon and webbing straps. The hardware is quite impressive. It is solid metal, not cheap at all. The pull cords are made out of Paracord, and not just a piece of it, but an actual braided section of it. The zippers are waterproof zippers as well. These bags truly are rough and tough. It cracks me up, that even the little doodads bag is just as tough. It’s the mini me of the bomber bag. The bomber bag measures out at 16” long x 10” tall, and 10” deep. It has a separate shoulder strap that clips on with the most durable, and cool clips. They are the best I have seen on a shoulder strap. The larger bag has a small zippered pocket on the outside of the bag, and another one on the inside of the bag. It’s amazing how much you can fit in these bags. I fit one of my sons jackets into the smaller bag, and 5 of our jackets into the larger bag. The smaller bag has a great grab handle as well as an exterior zippered pocket. We’ve had a lot of fun testing these bags out. We have been throwing them off our deck, throwing water on them, throwing them around the house, and kicking them around. These babies are truly very durable! After everything I have thrown at them, I still do not have a scratch even on the fabric. This is a great weekender bag, duffle bag, and every day use bag. It’s definitely become a go to bag in our home.

Ties for everyone! – Winnerbuy’s Mens Wholesale Groomsman Solid Color Skinny Ties Lot of 5.

I have to be honest, it has never occurred to me to look for a grouping of ties to order. I didn’t even know that was out there, lol. It’s a great option for group events though, so I’m glad it is an option. Such an easy one too. This set from Winnerbuy is a set of 5 ties. I picked Navy Blue, but you can choose an assortment of colors, or a set of 5 in one of the other 26 color options. They have a lot of color options. That was impressive to me. There are so many crafting projects to be made out of ties as well. I was amazed when I started doing a search. I love the footstool and chair recovering ideas. You can make really cute skirts out of ties as well. These are more of the skinny tie model, but not nearly as skinny as I remember from the past, lol. These ties are 2 ¾ “ at their widest, so not Miami Vice thin. They are also 59” long and are made out of polyester, and well made. They are even lined. The Navy Blue ones are lined with a pretty black fabric. None of my ties have loose stitching, snags or tears. They arrived with no odor to them as well. These would be great and inexpensive for a wedding party. All budgets can afford these, which is great. Right now they are only 20.99 with free shipping. You can order these to unify a group outing, or event. Even for children, like Boy Scouting special events. It would even be fun to show up at a party with a group of people, all wearing the same ties. They sell all colors, including pretty shades of pink. Think of the fun women can have with those at parities. Overall, I am very pleased with this set of ties. I really can’t complain at all.

The best wine glass ever! – The Lone Star Store’s Good Day – Bad Day – Do NOT Ask – Shatterproof – Wine Glass.

I absolutely love this glass. I try to be a positive person, and I don’t label my days as bad days on purpose, but even if I have a fantastic day, this glass will just make it better. Something about it just makes me smile! I love the non-breakable Tritan glasses, like this one. I am not new to them at all. Most of the name brand sports bottles are made out of Tritan material as well. I am famous in my home for breaking glass wine glasses. Not when I’m drinking out of one, but when I wash them. I have no worries about that with this glass. It arrives in a basic brown box. Not really a “Gift Box”, like they stated in their ad, lol. But, it is easily wrapped because of the box it arrives in. So, I actually really like that. This is just like a regular wine glass. The shape is elegant, and it holds like a stemmed glass. But, since they are not real glass, this one is perfect for outside as well. You can use this poolside, patios, picnics, traveling in a RV, and more. This glass is 12oz. There are three markings on it: Good Day, Bad Day, and Do Not Ask!. We all know we are filling it to the top line, which is the Do Not Ask! line. I have a glass similar to this, but stemless. My 21 year old son loves it and immediately stole it from me. He drinks everything out of it but his coffee. My husband took one look at this glass and laughed. He says my son is going to steal this one too. This may be a hazard at your home too. It’s a glass that everyone ends up loving. It’s fun. This glass even fits into my wine glass lawn stakes I have. Since they are just like a wine glass, it fits perfectly. But, I have the added safety of the Tritan security. I can drop it in my sink, or on the ground, and it doesn’t crack at all. I hand wash everything, but this glass can go into the dishwasher as well. It is EA and BPA free. I love that this company donates money to St. Judes. That hospital is amazing! This is from the company’s ad page, “$1 for each item purchased will be donated in honor of Team Samuel at St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital.” This really makes me love everything about this glass.

We go through a lot of baseball caps in my household. My guys wear them all the time. They get really dirty and sweaty too. Using a Cap Washer like this one from JHeath on Amazon, can really help expand the life of your baseball cap. They let you really clean your caps, while maintaining their shape and integrity. It is so easy to use as well. You can place this in a washing machine that doesn’t have the tall agitator. They recommend the top rack of the dishwasher, on the normal cycle, the most though. Just place your hat into the unit. Then clip it shut, and place it on the top rack. Make sure the agitator on the top of the washing machine isn’t going to hit it. I didn’t think of that at first, but then moved it to the corner of the top rack, and it worked perfectly this way for me. I did have a hard time opening mine the first time. One of my clips did not want to slide through to open. I removed the cardboard from the packaging, and then I was able to work it easier. Place your dish detergent into the machine like usual, and wash it on the normal cycle. Then, leave your hat in the cap washer until it is dry. The same goes for the washing machine. I cheated, because I wanted to check on my hat, lol. Then I had to place the whole thing outside to dry, since I stopped the heat cycle. They also suggest using a mild detergent with the cap. I used one of those detergent pods, and it worked great! The cap washer is very gently on your cap. It is made out of plastic, and doesn’t affect your hat in any negative way. It’s such a simple design, but I am so glad someone invented one. It is the perfect answer for washing your hats.

A great knife for your car. – Outdoor Games’ WHX Outdoor Camping Survival Folding Knife.

I live in a house with a lot of guys, and guys like knives. Well, mine do anyhow. I have been converted, and get just as excited about them. Not only are they great tools to have, but the can help you save your life in an emergency. This knife from Outdoor Games can do just that too. It is a great tool to keep in your vehicle. This folding knife has a built in seatbelt cutter as well as a glass breaker on it. It does not come with a sheath, but it does have a metal pocket clip on it. It’s a long metal pocket clip, and sturdy. The blade is a Tanto blade and was made out of 440C Stainless Steel. Overall this knife measures out at 8 ¼” long when opened. The blade measures out at 3.5” to the tip. They state 2.9”, so I would check my state laws before ordering it. We can have up to a 4” blade on us, here in NC. This is a heaver blade with the built in car safety features. It weighs out at 7.3oz with my scale. My knife arrived in perfect condition. It arrived with the usual factory edge, and in my opinion needs to be sharpened. If I want my knife to be able to be fully utilized, it needs to have a sharp edge on it, capable of shaving those hairs, lol. The blade test we always do. Even though it’s a larger knife for me, I can still do the one handed open and close. I’m not great at flicking it open yet, since it’s larger. It is also a little tight when it first arrives, which is normal. There is no play in the blade. When it is opened, it is well locked in. To close it, you just need to press your thumb against the liner lock and push the blade shut with your other fingers. The blade has a camo like finish done on it. It’s pretty sharp looking. The handle is metal with a black, plastic insert which has ridges on it. It helps with the grip, and the aesthetics. There is a lanyard whole already there for you as well. This is a great tool to keep in a vehicle. It would be great camping or hiking as well. In a pinch you can cut your Paracord, or anything else you need. It’s thick and solid, and a great price for such a useful tool.

A highly effective way to sharpen your knife. – Sgot’s Obecome Deluxe 5-Stone Sharpening System Kit.

I had always been fascinated by this type of knife sharpener. I am in a house of pro knife people, lol, and we have an array of sharpening devices. My older son, this year, bought himself a system like this, but with a large incorporated stand. This type of system really works a lot better than other sharpening systems. It takes a bit to get used to it, but once you do, you will like how well it works on your blades. This is a system that you glide across your knife’s edge. After you set the angle with the grit stone you choose, it’s just a natural movement across the blade. It is so simple to do. They give you 5 different options to choose from. Included in the kit are:

1 – 70 Extra Course Stone (black)

1 – 120 Course Stone (red)

1 – 280 Medium Stone (green)

1 – 500 Fine Stone (blue)

1 – 1000 Ultra Fine Stone (yellow)

1 Metal Stand

1 Empty squirt bottle for water or oil of your choice

1 Instruction Pamphlet

1 Storage Case

The stand is interesting. It is metal and lightweight. You really need to hold it when in use. I will probably have my husband make a wood base for it. It is not necessary at all. It’s just for comfort, lol. On the handles, are 4 holes. You choose your angle by inserting your chosen stone into one of them. Your blade gets clamped into this handle, so it doesn’t move on you at all while being sharpened. Both of these tasks are accomplished by screwing the knobs attached to both pieces. It is a no brainer to do. The four holes are on each side, so it doesn’t matter if you are right handed or left handed. You just flip it over to sharpen the other side as well. This method really does create a great edge on your blade. The stone literally follows the edge of your blade. I am really happy with it, as well as my husband. He has a knife that he has been using and abusing. His first time out with this sharpener, and he brought the life back into his blade with just using the extra course stone. My husband was quite happy indeed.

A beautiful message. – Parati’s Genuine 925 Sterling Silver Weight Lifting Fitness Bodybuilding Charm Pendant Necklace.

I really like the message this necklace states. It states that ”Strong is Beautiful”. Yes, there is a weight charm, but that is an obvious symbol of strength. I believe this necklace can be worn by any woman or girl who is strong. Although, commitment to physical health is also a great attribute! Females can be strong in any way. There is strength in being true to yourself, not bowing down to peer pressure. You can be strong in dealing with illness, and struggle. Keeping your head up high in times of diversity. A survivor of domestic abuse, and more, as well. Strength in women should be a loud and proud characteristic. Somehow, a lot of girls and women, are afraid to be strong in a more male dominant world. They are under some perception that men won’t find them attractive if they show their strength. I believe strong women are beautiful.

This necklace is so pretty in person. It is more demure than the pictures show on the ad page. It is a very feminine looking necklace, while proudly stating who you are. The two charms are separate from each other on the chain. The wording is very clear on the charm, and the weight is really nice looking. The necklace and charms are made out of 925 Sterling Silver. They have a beautiful polished look and shine to them as well. The chain closes vis a traditional circular spring clasp. Mine was done perfectly, and performs flawlessly. This is a great length to wear with a v-neck shirt, 18 inches. It would be great with any neckline, really. Nothing was cheaply made on this necklace. It is so pretty in person. It would make a great gift. Besides being very affordable for 925 Sterling Silver, it arrives in a really pretty velvet jewelry gift box, with a microfiber jewelry silver cleaning cloth. What a statement you would be giving the woman in your life. You really can’t go wrong with this beautiful necklace from Parati.

Stepping out in style. – Best Envision Store’s Men’s Fashion Sunglasses Sport Outdoor Polarized Eyewear.

My husband loves glasses in the aviator style. It seems to be his go to style. So, these fit the bill, and are for him. I love the modern twist on these frames from the Best Envision Store on Amazon. Besides being polarized, which is all I will wear, they have a really nice design added to the arms. Part of each arm is a long, black, metal cylinder with holes cut out. Love the design. The frame itself is also black and silver tone metal. They are very sharp looking. The lenses are black, not mirrored. The polarization works well. These glasses arrive with a little test picture. When you look at the picture with the glasses on, you can see the fish jumping out of the water. You can’t wee it without the glasses on. They also include a generously sized microfiber cleaning cloth with the glasses. It really is the perfect cloth to clean the lenses with. That’s pretty much all we use on our lenses. These lenses are made out of Polycarbonate material. A common lens material. It is lightweight and pretty durable. They state it is more scratch resistant than optical glass. We like the size of these glasses. They are made for the average sized face and nose. They fit my husband very well, and do not slide at all on his nose. There are also nose pads on these sunglasses. They are clear, and really help the fit and comfort of these sunglasses. They even include a great storage case. It is a what I call, a soft sided firm case, lol. It’s very sporty, and has an attached carabineer clip. That always makes carrying them with you anywhere, much easier. The black case, is designed with a thin, metal strip that wraps around the center of the case. The silver metal has the Eyemate name written on it, and really stands out on the black case. The lenses also offer a higher impact resistance than optical glass, as well. Overall, the fit and make are pretty nice. We really can’t find any negatives with these glasses at all. The price point these are at for a pair of aviators that are polarized is fantastic. They even offer UV400 protection for full protection when you are out an about. I am comfortable recommending these sunglasses.

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.

Cotton comfort. – Dimore’s Men’s Full Cut Briefs Cotton Underwear Briefs Elastic Waistband 5 Pack.

So many are being made without nowadays. The colors in this pack are Navy Blue, White, Black, Grey, and Denim Blue. These are not your regular tighty whities, lol. They actually have some life and design to them. We find them to run true to size, which is always a relief.
