I really do not like cold weather, lol. I cannot express that enough. I also despise having to de-ice my car during the winter time. I have Raynauds, and my hands just freeze up, and get so painful. A lot of times, I will just turn my car on and let it heat up while I stay in my warm house. I let the defrost run, as well, to help out with the windows. I waste a lot of gas, but, with my Raynauds, it’s worth it. I still however, have to clean off all the ice and snow off of my car, so it doesn’t fly into others. We do not have much snow here, fortunately, but we do get a lot of ice. I have regular ice scrapers, as does the rest of my family. I, however, have never owned one like this before. I love the mitt design. The mitt is quite long, and fully covers your hand and wrist. The inside is lined with a warm, thick, black fleece. It’s not flat fleece, but a little shaggy, like faux fur. The material on the outside is quilted, and looks just like the ad, which I was glad to see. There is elastic on the mitt, which hits at the wrist area. This helps keep the cold air out. The thick plastic scraper just slides into the mitt, and out the opening of the top. Just hold onto it, and then do your scraping. I compared it to my regular scraper, and it is made just as well; no deficiencies. It even comes with a storage bag. I love simple things like that. The mitt material is pretty durable, and will help to keep your sleeve nice and dry while scraping, which is a great benefit. I used to live around the Boston area, and have vivid memories, of the ice and snow falling into my sleeve. Can you say, freezing!!!!!!!!!!!! It actually stung, lol. I really wish I had this mitt back then. Overall, this ice scraper mitt is well made, very affordable, and will be very beneficial on icy days.

The best storage solution for my SUV. – Kodiak Autos’ 2 in 1 Backseat Car Trunk Organizer. https://cspierdowis.com/the-best-storage-solution-for-my-suv-kodiak-autos-2-in-1-backseat-car-trunk-organizer/ https://cspierdowis.com/the-best-storage-solution-for-my-suv-kodiak-autos-2-in-1-backseat-car-trunk-organizer/#comments Mon, 07 Nov 2016 00:09:29 +0000 https://cspierdowis.com/?p=6581 trunk-organizer-2

I drive an SUV. I love this type of car, but I have never loved how cluttered the back of the car can get. Everything just slides around, and containers can topple over, spilling their contents. Unless you leave the back of your SUV empty, it always looks messy, too. I own and use car organizers, but they never keep things handy or neat. Until this one, that is. I really love this car organizer. We always have extra tissues and movies in or car. My son has a constant runny nose, and hates being in a car. So, we always play a movie, or have him on his tablet. Our lives are better this way, lol. This organizer is the first I have personally seen that not only spans the back seat, but has actual deep pockets, not just flat expandable pockets. My husband has used the flat style before, in his pickup, to organize work papers, but even he really likes this design a lot better. In this organizer from Kodiak Auto, there are 3 pockets with Velcro closures, and one open pocket. The open pocket can fit a large sized water bottle, if needed, and that includes a 2L bottle of soda, lol. Two of the pockets with the flap closure are the same size, and can actually fit a large sized tissue box. The other pocket is much larger, and about double the size of the other two pockets. We fit a ton of movies into this pocket. It is so nice that my son can lean over a pick a new movie out, when we are parked. I don’t have to get out and go to the back of the car anymore! I am loving that. The same thing for tissues, when he runs out. He also never reminds me that he is running out of tissues until we are driving down the road, lol. Now, I always carry an extra full box with me. You can so much into these pockets, and keep your vehicle more organized and cleaner looking. I’s a wonderful thing for both Trucks and SUVs. It can also be used in cars too, though.

The organizer is 36” long, 10” all, and the pockets are 4 ½” deep. It has two nylon webbing straps with plastic buckle closures. They are easily adjustable, like backpack straps. Just place each end around your headrest, and tighten them in place. So, easy and quick to install. It doesn’t bounce around against your seat either. There is a Velcro strip that runs along the back of it. This helps keep the bag still on most seats, anyhow. The bag is constructed out of a thick and durable 600D polyester material. It is just like thick backpack material. Mine arrived with no odor to it. It was in perfect condition, and the stitching was all done very well. This should last for a long while. I am truly very thrilled with this organizer. It pretty much is the answer to my car organizing dreams.

REV cars in action. – Avalanche Brands’ Rev (2 Cars Included). https://cspierdowis.com/rev-cars-in-action-avalanche-brands-rev-2-cars-included/ https://cspierdowis.com/rev-cars-in-action-avalanche-brands-rev-2-cars-included/#respond Tue, 28 Jun 2016 04:52:40 +0000 https://cspierdowis.com/?p=4407

I have a now, 9 year old son, who loves toys like this one. So, I was thrilled to be able to review this with him. He is a big critic too. If he does not like something, he points out all the things he hates, lol. I do have to say, these cars arrive very well packaged, and arrive with an easy to follow instruction booklet. They stress in this booklet to be gentle with the cars, and advise that they be used indoors only. Keep that in mind. They also require that you have a smart phone or tablet where you can download the necessary app to utilize them. There are two Rev cars in the set, and each car requires 4 AA batteries, which are not included. You will need a Philips Head screwdriver to access the battery compartments. I have Android devices, and you can find the REV app in your Google Play Store, for free. It comes up as REV Robotic Enhance Vehicles by WowWee Group. It even has 4.2 stars, which is pretty good for a toy app. The app let’s your smart phone or tablet connect to the cars. It connects fast too. I was very impressed with it. You have to have a tablet or smartphone, there is no separate controller to operate these cars. These cars are operating off our Galaxy Note 5 phones, and Samsung tablets perfectly. You can just drive it around or battle them. I love the shooting sounds. They sound more futuristic, and not like real active guns. I am amazed at how fast the card actually go. The controls to make the cars move are finger controlled from you screen. Your right hand does the direction, and the left hand does the acceleration. There is actually reverse with the car too.  The screen on the app is easy to follow, and if you choose the wrong option, it’s easy to redo. My son loves the campaign mode. He was so excited once he beat it the first time. With the campaign mode the cars shoot lasers at each other, and score points, until one of them wins. He is such a computer kid, I am happy to see him up and at least playing with this toy. It’s great because he can play with someone else, as well as me or his dad. It’s fun for all ages. You don’t have to play with anyone either, My son even did the campaign mode as one person. So, this is a great set for an only child as well. I am very impressed at how responsive this toy is to the app. It’s really well done. And, the speed of the cars is so impressive. It’s a great set overall.

You can never go wrong with The Punisher Skull by K9Kings. https://cspierdowis.com/you-can-never-go-wrong-with-the-punisher-skull-by-k9kings/ https://cspierdowis.com/you-can-never-go-wrong-with-the-punisher-skull-by-k9kings/#respond Fri, 01 Apr 2016 01:28:44 +0000 https://cspierdowis.com/?p=3328 My husband loves the Punisher symbol. It is a pretty cool symbol after all. This particular vinyl has an added touch to it, the thin blue line. With all the unthinkable violence towards our police nowadays, it’s nice to be able to show them a little support. And this is such an easy way to do it too. We like the colors in this Punisher symbol. The grey stripes are actually reflective as well. This is an added safety touch, and adds to the coolness factor at night. This Punisher Skull measures out at 5 ¾ “ x 4 ¼ “ with my ruler, so it’s a tad larger than the measurements given. This is rated for outdoors, so it is weatherproof. Make sure your smooth flat surface is clean before you adhere it. You can place it on anything you want to that has a smooth surface, not just your car. We also put vinyls on our laptops. It is a 3M decal, and a nice quality. Mine arrived in perfect condition, nice and flat with no wrinkles. It lives up to what I am used to, and what I was expecting. To top it off, this Punisher sticker is sold by a Veteran and Family run business. Overall, I am really happy with this product, and so is my husband.

I was afforded the opportunity to review K9King’s Punisher Skull 5.5 x 4 Inch Tattered Subdued Us Flag Reflective Decal with Thin Blue Line, in exchange for an unbiased and honest review.
