An easy way to organize. – No. 1 Services’ Marvel O Bug Set of 6 Foldable Cloth Storage Cube Basket Bins.

Standard

 

We like using pop up bins like this. They are lightweight, and an easy and affordable way to organize our items. They last a lot longer than I initially thought they would. I’ve personally ordered bins like this online before, and they were thin, flimsy, and cheap. I haven’t ordered bins online since then. So, when I was afforded the opportunity to review them, I was a bit hesitant and a bit curious, lol. Fortunately, the 6 bins in this set are wonderful. They are the thickness I prefer, and are quite sturdy for a collapsible fabric bin. These bins are made out of a nonwoven polypropylene and cardboard. There is one handle sewn onto the front side of each of these. Handle is too strong of a word, because you can lift or carry it by the handle. It is great to grasp and pull it toward you, if it was further back on a shelf. You want to support the bin from the underside when you lift it up. These measure 11” tall and they are 10.5” square in shape. They are made the usual way. You open the bin, and then push the fabric coated cardboard to the bottom, to support it. Mine arrived all in perfect condition. They were all clean. No snags, tears, or stains on them anywhere. They did not have any weird odor to them at all. At my local store, I pay $6.oo per bin of this quality. This set is currently priced at 16.99. Of course, that can change at any time. But, wow, that is an unbelievable price. The types of items I store in my bins are supplements, toys, and more toys, lol. Magazines, papers, review items, and more toys. They are great to place in the trunk to organize your small roadside items. You can pop one in your car during your trip to carry snacks, and papers in. My mom likes to do that. I love being able to store them flat when they are not needed. We have gone to using bins like this as our Easter baskets every year. Then they can store their new toys in the bin, or whatever else they need. If you do not like to use a dresser in your room, you can store socks in one, undershirts in one, underwear in one, and bras in another. These are so useful, and the quality is perfect. I am very comfortable recommending this product.

Grooming time. – Heroic STAR Beard Brush Two Piece Set With Cloth Drawstring Bag Grooming Kit.

Standard

I have always loved natural bristle brushes. Any type of brush too: paint brushes, makeup brushes, house painting brushes, and yes, hair brushes. They are just so great to use, no matter what the application. I really love this set from the Belle Moi Group on Amazon. It’s their Heroic Star Beard Brush, 2 piece set. There is a brush with a handle, and then an oval, handheld brush without a handle. I love the storage bag that they arrive in. It’s washable and reusable. I can see using the bag to keep the travel brush stored in, and keep it clean. Technically, none are designated as a travel brush, but the one with no handle is so easy to pack, because it has no handle. This brush was given to my husband. He doesn’t have a beard since he is Army, but he has short hair, and these brushes are so wonderful on short hair. The brush with the handle has been given to my son, who absolutely loves it. My older son has been using a natural boar bristle brush for a couple years now, on his beard. The bristles are great on his beard. The bristles brush through your hair without pulling on them. You really aren’t going to damage your hair using these brushes, unless you did it on purpose. The wood used for these brushes is Beachwood. It has a nice varnish on them, and are made very well. The bristles are nice and dense. We had some loose bristles in both brushes when they arrived, and that is very normal for natural bristle brushes. There was no odor to the brushes at all. They are very clean, and feel great on your head. The natural bristles leave your hair looking soft. They are great on both wet and dry hair. You can also use it with oils, in case you like to brush a nice beard oil through your beard. You can wash your brush easily too. I just use a little hand soap, and wash it out in the sink. Then just shake the excess water out, and let it air dry. So, it’s really easy to take care of. This will help you keep your hair healthy and manageable. Since it feels so great on your head to use, you will find yourself taking better care of your hair. For example, my younger son hates brushing his care, but he is liking his new brush, and actually enjoys using it.

Veteran Owned and Operated. – American Brass’ 7.62 and .50 Caliber Bullet Bottle Opener Combo Pack.

Standard

I actually already own both the bottle opener and keychain from American Brass. I love them, and use them all of the time. My older son actually confiscated and has kept the bottle opener. The thing is made unbelievably well, and is so durable. It works perfectly, and has a very high cool factor to it as well. The same goes for the keychain. I kept that one though, and never let him touch it, lol. I was thrilled to see them available as a set, and even more thrilled to be able to review the set. This company uses only pre-fired demilitarized, bullet casings, from our US Military. How fantastic is that. I love that! What a story that makes when you present this as a gift. It’s nicely packaged, and ready to go out of the box. The keychain is made out of the 7.62 casing, and the bottle opener is made out of the .50Cal casing. These are brass, thick, and solid. They are not bendy in the least. They are not dirty, or rough to hold. They have a great patina to them as well. The keyring that comes with the 7.62 bottle opener, is a tight and solid key ring. This company is even a “Veteran Owned and Operated company.” It doesn’t get better than that. The surface is smooth. You could have the larger bottle opener engraved on your own as well. Or, you can do it yourself if you are handy. There are no negatives with this set. It’s completely a win, win situation here. You get to open your bottle like a boss, hands down. You’ll even get to carry your keys, like a boss! I most definitely recommend this set.

Swim in comfort. – Qeartex’s NorthPole Mens Swim Trunk With Cargo Pockets.

Standard

I may not be wearing them, but I like it when my husband has pockets in his bathing suit. It makes life easier for him, and I notice that. That’s important. I picked out this bathing suit in grey for him. I love the color grey, and it looks great with pretty much any shirt he chooses to wear with it. The material is really soft. He already had a pair like these in black, so I was happy to be able to review a similar pair in a different color. The style looks pretty nice on, and they function like a pair of shorts. You can wear these fishing, boating, out to an amusement park, swimming at the pool or beach. They are a great overall design; high functionality. There are a total of four pockets on these swim trunks. Two cargo pockets and two traditional pockets. The cargo pockets have two grommeted drain holes, each, and a Velcro closure. These are great to carry your wallet and keys in. I picked grey, but they offer these trunks in 10 different colors and sizes ranging from Men’s Small to Men’s XX Large. The thighs do accommodate muscular thighs, as well as tushies, lol. There is a mesh liner in these trunks, which we just cut out. My husband prefers to wear his own briefs, and this way he can use them as shorts while fishing, etc… It is so fast and simple to cut out the liner with a pair of scissors, in case that is what you prefer too. The waist has both an elastic and drawstring closure. I think that really makes for a more comfortable fit, especially when you are being physically active, like boogie boarding, and fishing, swimming, and the like. They are made out of Polyester, and so are easy to wash and dry. They will not shrink on you, and are pretty durable. We find that they run true to size as well. The length really depends on your height, lol. My husband is 5”11” and they go a little past his knees. So, they are the longer length. The inseam measured out at 9 ½” for the size L we received. Our pair will get a lot of use this summer, for sure.

Just hanging around. – Primode’s Motorized Tie Rack With LED Lights.

Standard

I love these tie organizers. I have been married for years, and ties are always an issue to store. They are delicate, and need to be hung, or properly rolled and stored perfectly. This is such an ingenious way to store many ties in a tight area. I do not live in a mansion, and storage is always an issue. And, not only can you store up to 50 ties on this rack, but it will also hold belts. So perfect for any man, and woman, if you own a lot of belts. This electric tie rack measures out at 12” long x 6 ¼” wide, and 4 ½” thick. So, not a bad size at all. It runs off of 4 C batteries, and unfortunately, they are not included. I didn’t have them handy before my tie rack arrived: insert pout here. That was my fault. It states that in their add, lol. So, be ready, or be ready to pout. It’s actually pretty sleek and modern looking. It will not uglify your closet. I love that it has LED lighting on it. The lighting is on the entire front side of the rack. It is LED lighting, and does not heat up the unit. This unit only uses 5W of power too. The light really lets you know which tie you are picking out. For example, when you have 10 blue ties, lol. It has a great diffuser over the light, and won’t hurt your eyes as well. This rack fits on a closet rod, and has a clamp that tightens to secure it on the rod. If you don’t have a rod in your closet, see if you can add one, to be able to use this rack. The clamp screws up into the middle of the underside of the unit. There are three buttons on the front of the unit. A center power button, and a left and right button, to move and rotate the rack. It’s very simple to use. You press the arrow buttons to turn it on. You can press the power button to stop it from moving, and then to turn it off when you are done with it.  It’s very easy to install as well. There is a black panel on the top of it. It comes off so you can place it on the pole, then just reattach it, and screw in the tightening knob underneath it. That’s all you need to do to attach it. I was happily surprised by how quiet it was. I thought it was going to be a lot louder than it actually is. My husband was actually surprised by the speed of it. Of course, when full of items, it does slow down some. This is definitely a much better to store my son’s ties. It really is a great tool for your closet.

These will brighten your way. – South Platte Supply’s LED Safety Lights with Clip & Velcro Strap- (2 Pack).

Standard

Whether you have a runner in the family, or just a child that’s not too fond of the dark, these lights can be very helpful. My husband is our runner, and my youngest hates, hates, hates, the dark. Both can fully utilize these. I was intrigued by them, but now that I have them, I really, really like them. These lights are only 2 inches long and 1 inch wide, and they only weigh 2.2oz. You can either clip them on to your laces, belt, pack and more. Or, you can use the included stretchy Velcro straps, and wrap them around your arms, ankle, handlebars. Whatever works best for you. These lights each have a push on/off button on the top side of the light. So, they are easy to operate, and don’t have to be removed to turn them on or off. These are two mode lights. The first press turns them on to solid on, and the second press turns them onto their flashing mode. The third press turns them off. If you are cycling, the flashing mode really helps to get the attention of the cars on the road. You could put one on your outer arm, and one on the back of the bike, like a tail light. It’s weather resistant too, so you don’t have to worry about being caught out in the rain. This is a great set to put in your pack when you head out on a hike. If it starts to get dark, you can pull them out in a flash. It’s a very useful set. It really can be used from anything from fear of the dark to running, and safety.

The perfect Ionic Hair Brush Set. -SySrion’s Ionic Hair Straightener Brush 2.0.

Standard

My hair is a mess, lol. It truly has a mind of its own. I am fond of these Ionic Hair Brushes. I have others, but I was excited to try this set from SySrion. I love this set. It comes with the brush, a storage bag, 2 hair clips, and a glove, for those of you who may burn your hand. I do not need the glove with this brush. But, if you are one to always grab the bristles (plates), then this will be perfect for you. It’s the most complete set I have used, that’s for sure. All my other brushes have just come with the brush. The buttons for this brush are on the back of the handle. They are slightly inset, and are not easy to press by accident. You won’t have to worry about turning it off, or changing your heat setting, with this one. I wrap my hand around the handle when I use it, and I have not accidently pushed the buttons at all. I love the ceramic plates on this brush. They really work through my messy hair without pulling on it, and yanking it out. I can take my messy pony tail down, after being outside and windblown, and it tames and de frizzes my hair easily. I am always really impressed with that too. This brush has 5 heat settings. Just press the power button until you reach your desired setting. This brush moves from 302 degrees Fahrenheit to 446 degrees Fahrenheit. The cooler temps are perfect for fine hair, and the highest temp is perfect for my thick, unmanageable hair. They include a great instruction pamphlet for first time users. This brush does not dry out my hair. It actually looks and feels healthier after using it. The negative ions in this brush is what gets rid of the frizz in your hair. The trick is to move the brush slowly through your hair. It works more efficiently this way. You can even help style your hair with this brush. Work it like you would a regular brush, and the heat will help style your hair in that direction. This brush is really a great tool. I love the bright blue color of my brush, but they also have it available in black and pink; something for everyone. I really can’t say enough positive about it.

A quick and easy way to polish your leather. – Sunshower-US’ Electric Shoe Polisher Leather Sofa Brush.

Standard

Let me tell you, my husband loves to polish his shoes. He finds it relaxing. He was also very happy to see this shoe polisher, when it arrived. With the cost of real leather shoes nowadays, you really need to take care of them too. It’s pretty wild having an electric shoe polisher. Before, it was all up to your muscle. It takes longer to do it by hand as well. This particular shoe polisher comes with 1 battery, a battery charging station, and 3 heads. The heads include the Shoe Oil Brush, the Polish Brush, and the Microfiber Brush. You need to use them in that order, as well. The battery drops into the handle easily. Then you just push the battery cover back on, and you are ready to go. This entire unit is rubber coated, so it has a great grip. There is one button inside of the handle, which is both the on and off button. It has the one speed only. The head attachments just push on, and pull off. So, these are also easy to change out and use. The only thing you need to supply is the polishing oil/conditioner. It is a noisy machine, but it has decent power to it. Definitely enough to polish shoes and boots. There is not a lot of hand vibration, in case that is any issue for you. The surface coverage is pretty large too.  The heads measure in size from 2 ¾” to 3” in size. Not too shabby, if you ask me. You can use these on anything leather, really. You can use this brush to polish and condition your car seats, couch, chair, and more. It is so quick and easy to use. It makes doing a quick but effective polish a breeze.

Helps keep your health on track. – Jarv’s Advantage IPX7 Water Resistant Smart Watch.

Standard

My husband recently got back from Kuwait. His activity has completely changed, so I thought he would really appreciate this watch. It’s important to keep on top of your health. Using a smart watch like this one, really helps you to keep on top of it, while you are busy during your work day. It comes with a free app to really help you track yourself: I-GotU Life from the Google Playstore. This watch is compatible with phones that have Android 4.3 or higher and IOS 7.0 or later. We have only used it with Android devices. It connected immediately with my husband’s Galaxy Note 5 phone. This watch has Bluetooth 4.0 technology in it. My husband leaves it on 24/7. It is comfortable to wear. We love the regular round watch face, with the traditional watch strap style. The strap it comes with is a TPU band. It is interchangeable though. So, you could put on any watch band you want. My husband finds it very comfortable and has left it as is so far.

This watch will track you 24/7. The battery life lasts up to 10 days on a full charge as well. On day 2 ½, my husband’s watch still had a full battery. I was not expecting the battery life to really last like they said. I was quite pleased to be proved wrong. The display is an OLED display and is quite clear. It was quick and easy for my husband to set up. It tracks his activities, sleep, calories burned, steps taken, distance traveled, and the goals you had set up for yourself. It synced up with his fitness app he had on his phone already, and carried over the steps he had already taken for the day, the first day he turned it on. It also carried over the amount of steps that he had set up for his daily goal. Now, that’s impressive. It really syncs up to. When I send him a text, it pops on his watch screen. The same goes if he’s getting a call. Now, you have to remember to turn on notifications for your calls, texts, calendar, emails, and social media. It has a solid waterproof rating of IPX7. You can wear it in the shower with you, while washing dishes, and bathing your kids. It can go into the water up to 1M for up to 30 minutes. So everyday water activities are fine. It has more features too. It gives you the current UV warning index so you can further protect your health. It has a timer, and a sports setting. You turn on the sports activity setting when you start out for a run, a game of basketball, etc.., and it will give you the steps, calories burned, for that specific activity. My husband has been loving his watch. He is highly impressed with the long charge life. It really is a 10 day life on a full charge. We have no complaints on this watch. It’s working better for us than most smart watches we have tried. My son even stated that this watch does more than his fitbit does.

Hot coffee to go. -HappyGo’s Stainless Steel Thermos.

Standard

My guys live and breathe on the road for work. Coffee is most definitely one of their staples. This thermos is so cool too. We are thrilled with how HappyGo set up their thermos. It not only is a thermos, but it is also your travel mug. The lid is a little different to open. It looks like you would press a button, and it would pop up, but it doesn’t. There’s a little lever you have to move out of the way, and then you can press and open the lid. So, on the positive side, you will not accidently open this up and spill it. The seal is pretty good as well. It was well done overall. This is a 16oz thermos travel mug. We bought it in black, but they also have it in white, which is a refreshing color. There is a great mouthpiece on this for easy drinking. I really appreciate it because I tend to dribble on myself, lol. The mouthpiece on this is pretty large and deep, so that shouldn’t be an issue for you with this one. My husband has used it for his coffee on the road with great success. There is no glass lining in this thermos. It is 18/8 stainless steel double walled and durable. The lid is made from BPA free Silicone, food grade. There are no toxin worries with this thermos. It doesn’t affect the flavor of your drinks at all either. It just helps to keep your coffee fresh and hot longer and your cold drinks to stay cold, much longer, as well. It’s definitely a keeper for us. It’s a great quality product.
