The professional way. – Sohosparks’ Leather Journal, Lined, Extra Refill, Writer’s Notebook.

Standard

semper explorans journal set 1

My older son loves to keep a journal in his truck for work, and plans. He loves using journals like this. He may be young, but he has old fashioned tastes. He much rather use a notebook like this over regular, disposable ones. It definitely has a more professional appeal and look to it. It makes you stand out a bit in the crowd, as well. This journal has lined pages in it, and a red ribbon as a page keeper. Even the refill notebook has a red ribbon page keeper. I think that is a really nice touch. It definitely beats a book mark, which can fall out, or bending the page over, which starts to be an issue after numerous pages have been marked in this way.

The Journal is indeed 8.5” long and 6 inches wide. It is almost an inch thick too. Which, is a very convenient size to carry. It is so easy to change out the internal notebook. The front and back cover just slide into coordinating pockets, that’s it. No skill required. I really like the embossed design on the Journal. The back is plain, and the front has a Latin saying,” Semper Explorans”. Meaning, always exploring. Then, they top it off with the compass design. It was nicely done. My journal arrived in perfect condition. It had no odor to it. The notebooks were in solid shape. I am loving the fact that they included the refill. It really is handy to have. No worries about ordering any, any time soon. They state the size of the refill is A5. The books have 120 pages in each one. The book has a leather look, but is made out of pleather. All of the stitching on the book was well done. There is no odor to it whatsoever. It should definitely last awhile. They did a great job with this product. My husband actually claimed this set for his work. Overall, this is a well-made professional product. It would definitely make for a great gift.

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.

For the director in you. – Quintumnia’s JoyPlus 360 Degree Spherical Panorama Action Camera.

Standard

If you are looking to take fun photos and videos, then you are going to love this camera. It is a blast. I was so intrigued by it, that I am thrilled I was able to test it out. It is unlike any other camera I have tried. I have the Polaroid cube, and a couple Go Pro copy cats, as well as other cameras. I even recently tested the new Polaroid snap. So, this camera was still like no other. It is a lot of fun. The clarity is fantastic and the audio pick up on it is pretty strong as well. This sphere has its own Wi-Fi and its own app. The best part is, is that it works. It works well too, and with no hitches, lol. Don’t even try to scan the QR scan printed in the direction pamphlet. They did it in a yellow ink, and neither my phone or my husband’s phone, could pick it up. Just go to your Google Playstore and look for DETU Camera. It comes up right away, and it’s free to Download for Android. I do not know about IOS. I only tested this camera out with Android. You can operate the camera without the app, but you are restricted and can’t see what you are taping or taking pictures of, until you check the micro SD card.

In your camera kit you will get: 1 camera, 1 instruction booklet, 1 micro USB charging cord, 1 velvet drawstring storage bag, and 1 16gb micro SD card.

I love how they include the micro SD card. This camera will accept a micro SD card up to 32gb. Only use a micro SD card that is a class 10 or higher. Otherwise the movie quality will not be there. On the underside of the camera you will find the port for the micro SD card and micro USB cord. There is also a port for a small HDMI cord. Also on the back is the port to attach your own tripod; it’s nicely threaded. On the top side of the camera you will find the Power button, Wi-Fi button, Shutter button, and the Mode button. Fun fact, you can play with the camera while it’s plugged in charging. They do highly suggest charging this camera in a 1A port, or use what I did, a Smart Charger. It has an internal 1000mAh battery. The charge lasted for about 30 min. of video recording time before it started to let us know, low battery, on our app. Since it has a Wi-FI button, and you can connect it to your tablet and phone, it’s easy to share your fun memories to social media. To connect to the Wi-Fi, you will need to insert a code the first time out. It is 12345678. This camera has so many wild modes: Fish Eye, Panorama, Planet, Hemisphere, or VR mode. Yes, it even has VR mode. How wild is that!!!!! I am so glad I have a pair of VR glasses too. I was like a little kid in a candy store when I saw that. You can take photos in all these modes as well. It doesn’t have to just be videos. You can do all of this from the app. It’s so easy to do. You can even play with your screen on your phone. It doesn’t get incorporated into what you are filming though. You can twist and turn it, and make it spin. It’s fun to do. My youngest son was having a lot of fun with that. This camera is 1.69” wide x 1.97” tall x 1.97” long. It’s a very user friendly size. It only weighs 2.7oz as well. This would be a fun camera to go hiking with. We love everything about this camera. The modes are fun to use, and the clarity is great. The app actually works very well, and it is so responsive and easy to use at any skill level.
