I absolutely love fairy lights on copper wire. First off, I love, love, love copper. No clue why, but I do. The color is so rich and vibrant. It has always been a favorite of mine. I was thrilled when they first came out with these lights. So, I am not new to them. This set is waterproof, but the waterproofing of the outdoor outlet will be up to you. That part is not waterproof. This particular set from the Gao Ge store on Amazon, is 33 feet long, and has 100 LEDs on it. 100 beautiful, warm white, LEDs. The thin copper wire is surprisingly more durable than you would think, and the LEDs are interwoven into the wire. I think it’s pretty cool how they do this. This particular set is a one mode set. They stay steady on. The cord does separate; in case you have a remote set up. These lights will accept it. Fortunately, the lead line is a good length (18”), which makes setup easier. This wire really stays put too. You can wrap it around almost anything, and it won’t budge. For example, I had a set of solar powered fairy lights, copper ones like these. I wrapped them around the landing banister of the deck. It stayed out for almost a year, before the cord was cut by the edger. We had a hurricane go through, and a ton of storms. They never, ever budged an inch. I just wrapped them around the banister too. I did not use anything at all to keep them in place. I love LEDs, they are so durable, and just keep on going, no matter what. They have a really long life span, thousands of hours. This company did not state the specific amount of hours from what I could find. From my past with this type of light, it’s normally around 50,000 hours.

These lights do not get hot to the touch at all, so little ones won’t hurt themselves if they accidently touch them. These lights use so little energy as well. They only consume 12W of power. You can do almost anything with these, as long as you have a nearby outlet. They have a regular 2 prong plug on them. You can place them inside a bottle. You can decorate your patio like I did, or your bedroom, wreaths, pictures, behind frames, and more. With the holidays coming up, you can decorate around your decorations with these. Since they are so neutral, and offer a warm white light, they can be used year round as well. There is really nothing I do not like about these lights. I am a big, big fan.

I received these for free, in exchange for an unbiased and honest review. – Gao Ges’ LED String Lights -100 Leds, 33 feet Copper Wire, Warm White Outdoor Decor Lighting, Water-Proof.

Gorgeous and therapeutic. – Smarter Lifestyle’s Pure Copper Magnetic Therapy Bracelet. https://cspierdowis.com/gorgeous-and-therapeutic-smarter-lifestyles-pure-copper-magnetic-therapy-bracelet/ https://cspierdowis.com/gorgeous-and-therapeutic-smarter-lifestyles-pure-copper-magnetic-therapy-bracelet/#comments Tue, 21 Jun 2016 21:39:59 +0000 https://cspierdowis.com/?p=4345 copper bracelet 7

I am not new to magnetic therapy jewelry. I find it fun and unique to wear. It does bring a warmth to the area you are wearing it, but increasing the circulation to the area. It’s really marrying the principle of form and function. I am a big copper fan as well. I love the material, and it doesn’t hurt that my husband is an electrician, lol. I get to see a lot of copper wire. I was thrilled to be able to review this bracelet. I received the gorgeous men’s version. They do offer it for women as well. The bracelet arrives very nicely packaged. It arrives fully wrapped to ensure a flawless finish. There is a tiny pull tab, so you know where to start unwrapping it. The wrapped bracelet arrives in a nice gift box. It is also in a velvet drawstring bag for added protection, and then perfect storage when not being worn. Also included with the bracelet is a plastic link removal tool. It’s nice that they include it. It helps hold the bracelet, while pushing the desired link out. Remember to save a pin for when you go to attach the bracelet back together. The bracelet is gorgeous. It is made out of pure copper (99.9%), and then there are 17 strong magnets spaced out throughout the bracelet. You can see them from the underside of the bracelet, not the topside. So, no one but you will know that it is a magnetic bracelet. The magnets are over 3000 Gauss each, which is a magnetic value. That just means it’s a stronger magnet. The bracelet is 8 ¼” long, and 1.2cm in width. I think it’s gorgeous on my husbands’ wrist! It is quite durable. It has to be. My husband is a rough and tough kind of guy, so it wouldn’t last for him if it wasn’t. The clasp is easy to do, and has been very reliable. It clips shut nice and securely, and you shouldn’t have to worry about it opening up on it. I love the unique look of the copper. The sunlight really plays off of it. It’s a stunning look, no matter what your style.

I received this at a reduced cost, in exchange for an unbiased and honest review. – Smarter Lifestyle’s Pure Copper Magnetic Therapy Bracelet.

Loving my Copper Moscow Mule Mugs from Kangaroo! https://cspierdowis.com/3199/ https://cspierdowis.com/3199/#respond Wed, 23 Mar 2016 17:48:18 +0000 https://cspierdowis.com/?p=3199 I love Copper Moscow Mule Mugs. I love the look, and we are copper fans. These are a little different than some on the market. They state 100% Copper in their name, but they are not copper, nope. These are stainless steel mugs, plated with real Copper. The handles are solid brass though, and quite handsome at that. It annoys me when labeling is misleading. Their real product description is on their packaging though. These mugs are 16oz mugs, and are a great size for a traditional Moscow Mule drink, or any other drink you would like. Just remember, with all metal mugs, they pick up the temperature of the drink you put in them. So, unless you like holdingkangaroo Copper Mule 2 hot mugs, like me, I would stick to cold drinks in these mugs. I also recommend hand washing them with a non-abrasive soap and sponge. They do give you the Moscow Mule recipe on the packaging. I tweaked it a bit for what I am used to. They do not give an amount for lime juice, and I stated one. Here is it:

1oz lime juice

Ice

2oz Vodka

4-8oz of Ginger Beer they state 4 – 6, but most recipes say 8.

Then garnish with a lime slice.

These mugs are very handsome. Aesthetically, they are spot on. I do not feel that the metal alters the flavor of my drink at all. I use stainless steel straws all of the time as well. The rim is rounded, and comfortable on the lips. The inside opening of the handle is on the smaller side, but is comfortable to slide your fingers through it, and cradle the mug in your hand. Overall, I like these mugs. There are no chemical worries with these mugs. Copper is actually healthy for you, and is recommended to drink water out of one daily for health benefits. They will need some gentle care to them to make sure the plating doesn’t come off. These style mugs always impress. They are perfect for entertaining.
