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.

Fashion forward with aHook’s 2016 Georgette Chiffon Solid Colors Infinity Scarf.

My mother is a fan of infinity scarves. They are popular all over the world too. I consider these scarves like jewelry. They can really change the look and feel of an outfit. We all have our favorite pieces that we wear to death. Just by adding an infinity scarf, you can change up your usual look. That way you can keep on wearing your favorite pieces, without people realizing, lol. This particular scarf from aHook is lightweight, and well made. Mine arrived in perfect condition. Even with the lightweight, polyester Chiffon fabric, all of the stitching was done tight and on point. The scarf arrived with no odor to it whatsoever, as well. They do have this scarf available in other color choices. This is an extra-long infinity scarf. You can double loop it, wrap it around your waist, shoulders, hair, and more. You can add scarf jewelry, and broaches to achieve your desired look. With a scarf this long, you really have so many design ideas. If you aren’t feeling creative enough, you can find all types of ideas online. You can wash this scarf in a machine on gentle, and alone in a lingerie bag. Then lie flat to dry. Or, just wash it by hand. Another great point about infinity scarves like this one, is that they are great for any occasion. Especially since they are so comfortable on. Overall, I am really happy with this scarf from aHook.

The perfect fishing net. – Quick Fox Unlimited’s Bundle, Catch and Release Fly Fishing Net.

My family likes to fish. It’s an activity that all ages can do together, and is quite enjoyable. This fishing net from Quick Fox Unlimited is gorgeous. It comes with a really strong, magnetic release cord too. My husband was actually surprised at how strong the magnet is. The basket of this fishing net is made out of a rubber mesh. It is gentle on the fish if you are doing catch and release, and if you are fly fishing, will help enable an easy Fly removal as well. You can use this for any type of fishing. It does not have to be fly fishing. The craftsmanship of this net is top notch. I love the wood handle and frame. It has a beautiful two toned design, and is highly varnished to ensure the life of the wood. The basket was sewn on, so it is changeable if you damage it. There are little holes through the wood frame where the basket was attached with string. The hoop, area, or basket measures out at: “25 inches (hoop is 10.75″ x 16.75″ and 8″ deep).” The magnetic clasp clips on easily with a metal clip. It measures at 9″ coiled and 72″ stretched out. We do a lot of pier fishing, and this net will definitely come in handy. Besides the magnetic clip, this net also comes with a clip on stretchable neck lanyard. Both of these are perfect for when you are fishing in the water, and leaning over a pier railing. You can even take this net out when you fish from your kayak. Besides having a great reach, you are ensured not losing it, as long as you take advantage of its features. You don’t have to worry about the net dry rotting either because it’s rubber. This really is a fabulous fishing net. It’s a win, win. We are really happy about it, and are looking forward to a lot of fishing with it.

A very feminine bracelet. – Infinite Charming Jewelry “Pearl Teardrops” Rose Gold Plated Tennis Bracelet.

More beautiful jewelry from Infinite Charming Jewelry, yea! This is a really pretty one too. I love the Rose Gold Plating. It has such a warm glow and shine to it. This beautiful bracelet was inspired by The Little Mermaid. They state that this Pearl Teardrop bracelet symbolizes how she could not bear the sorrow that he did not know her love. So sweet. The links represent the teardrop with the simulated pearl at the end of each one. This pretty bracelet measures out at 6.6” long with a 1.2” extender. It fits beautifully, and flows wonderfully on my wrist. I am not a fan of tight fitting bracelets. I love how they package their jewelry. It is so gift worthy. This bracelet arrived in a velvet jewelry box, which was inside of a beautiful velvet drawstring gift bag. The bag is perfect for storing the bracelet when not in use. I find a microfiber jewelry cleaning cloth to be a great and easy way to keep your jewelry nice and clean. That will help protect the plating on this bracelet. This bracelet was made out of a base metal, with Rose Gold plating. A base metal can be any non-precious metal. Copper, Nickel, and Brass are the common ones used. My bracelet arrived in perfect condition. I have no flaws, chips, or discolorations. All my simulated pearls are set well, and in great shape. I love the story behind the bracelet. It adds a special sentiment to it.

Cupids Arrow. – Infinite Charming Jewelry’s Silver Tone Cupid Arrow Cuff Bracelet.

I love bracelets. I have a thing for them. Bracelets are so easy to wear, and can express your mood, and change up an outfit. I am loving this beautiful Cupids Arrow bracelet from Infinite Charming Jewelry. It’s beautiful, and well made. It arrives in a velvet gift box, inside of a velvet drawstring bag. You can use the box or bag to store your bracelet in as well. It will help you maintain its beauty. This bracelet was done in a Silver Tone on a base metal. A base metal can be any non-precious metal. Copper, Nickel, and Brass are the common ones used. This particular bracelet has a high polished chrome shine, and is so pretty. The sparkly stones used are Cubic Zirconia. A stone which is actually harder than Crystal. A fun fact I learned recently. Cupid’s Arrow; this is something we fantasize about when we are young. The dreams of Cupids Arrow finding the one that is meant for you, your soulmate. The sentiment behind this bracelet is beautiful, and would make such a loving gift. The large Cubic Zircon makes up the arrow, and the smaller ones make up the fletches. All of my stones were set well. I had no loose, chipped, or missing ones. Oooh, do they sparkle in the sun. This bracelet’s interior dimensions are 2 ½ inches wide, and 2” tall. I normally wear a sz.7 women’s bracelet, and this bracelet fits perfectly. It flows beautifully on my wrist. It’s the perfect summer essential.

A twist on the conventional Rigger’s Belt. – JasGood’s Men’s Nyon Outdoor Tactical Webbing Buckle Belt.

Belts, don’t you wish you could carry extra with you for all of those “people” who walk around with their pants below their butts, lol. We own a few Riggers belts in our home. They are a great belt/tool to have. This belt was made in that style. It arrived as shown, in simple packaging, like most mail order belts. All of the stitching was done well. There was no odor to the product upon arrival. The belt buckle is made out of metal. The belt itself is made out of Nylon webbing. This belt is rated at being able to handle the load of 500kg which is equal to 1102lbs. I do not have the means to test that weight limit. Riggers belts can be used in an emergency as a means to lower yourself, or lift yourself, and items, due to their high weight tolerance. This belt has a unique belt loop. They used a black Neoprene piece of material instead of Nylon webbing. It by no means affects the function of this belt, just the aesthetics. The Neoprene used is black in color. I have not seen that before. This Nylon belt can handle the weather very well. It dries faster, and is more durable than leather or pleather, especially with weather extremes. It won’t get brittle or crack on you like those other materials. My belt measures at 50” including the belt buckle. It’s a one size thing. This is a 1 ½ inch wide belt. You can cut the belt down, and then burn the edges to seal them, like they did. We carry, and this belt can tolerate a holster. It’s softer than some Riggers belts, but if holstered over the pants also, does just fine. I do that with any belt I wear anyhow. This is definitely an affordable option for a Riggers belt.

The easy way to straighten your hair. – Simply Straight Ceramic Hair Straightening Brush.

I personally think that ceramic hair straightening brushes are a brilliant invention. I love them. This one, by Simply Straight, arrives with a great instructional book. So, if you have never used one before, or even if you have, I recommend perusing it before you use it. This one has its controls on the back of the handle. They are semi inserted into the handle, and are impossible to accidently hit while using the brush. That is a great feature. I have a couple brushes, where it’s easy to change the settings, accidently. It is so annoying. I have thick, wavy hair, and need the higher setting. I hate when I keep lowering the heat on myself, lol. There is no worry of this on this brush. You can easily straighten and de-frizz yourself with this brush. You can even style your hair, with practice, with this brush. There are three main settings on this brush: Low, Medium, and High. Low is 365 degrees Fahrenheit and for delicate, fine, or colored hair. Medium is 410 degrees Fahrenheit and is for natural hair. High, which is what I use, is 450 degrees Fahrenheit, and is for thick or curly hair. It doesn’t but a couple minutes to heat up, and then you want to section of your hair as you brush. To straighten, they suggest in the pamphlet, to brush slowly from underneath the section of hair. This keeps the bristles off of your scalp, as well as giving you more control getting the brush through your hair. Just slowly move the brush through your hair. You will be so pleased at how well it works. It helps to calm your hair. I live by the coast, and in seconds, my hair can get so frizzy and wild. Even though these still get very hot, they are still a lot safer and use then regular straight irons. There is an LCD screen on the handle which lets you know the temperature. The automatic shut off on this unit is 60 minutes, if not used. It’s nice to know there’s a built in safety feature, but I think the time frame should be much less. Remember to let it cool off before storing it. Never rinse this unit off to clean it either. Use a cloth to clean it off, when it’s cool. The cord has the 360 swivel built into it, so it’s easy to use. The handle is comfortable to hold. Overall, it’s a great working ceramic straightening brush.

Fashion and Style with Ecowish’s UK Amazon Store front.

It can be hard ordering clothing online. You always question quality, comfort, and size. I was asked to test a few pieces of clothing for the Ecowish store on Amazon. I was sent a really pretty shirt, a jacket, and a zip up sweatshirt, in a fun style. My clothes arrived quickly, and in great condition.

I really love the style of the shirt. It is a lot of fun with the open shoulder design. The shirt runs true to their size chart. I washed it in cold water, and dried it in the dryer. It washed and dried very well. My shirt arrived with all of its stitching done tight and on point. I had no tears, stains, or discolorations. It has such a feminine look to it. I love how it hangs. It has a flowy look it. You can easily dress this shirt up, or wear it more casually. You can change it up with jewelry and a different bottom choice. The material is soft to the touch. It is made out of 65% Polyester and 35% Cotton. I ordered mine in a pretty light grey, but they also have it available in black and white. It’s definitely a shirt that gets a lot of compliments.

The jacket I received to review is so fun. It’s hard to find bomber jackets for women where I live. I love the green color. The contrast with the black cuffs, waistband, and collar is striking. The material this jacket is made out of is a mixture of cotton, polyester, and satin. It is quite smooth and cool against your skin. The jacket is fully lined as well. There are no interior pockets. On the outside of the jacket you will find 1 zippered pocket on the left arm. This pocket is small, but could easily fit some cash, or that important number you don’t want to lose. There are also two regular, open pockets on this jacket. The pockets are also lined. This jacket was made to go to the waist. All the stitching on my jacket was done well. The zipper is not the strongest, but it works well. I have to hold down the jacket by the waist, while I zip it up with the other hand. This jacket is great for cool days. It’s a fun, lightweight jacket.

I love soft and comfortable clothing, I’m not going to lie, lol. This sweatshirt is fluffy, and soft, and feels like a warm cloud wrapped around you. I love the fun twist on the design of a zip up hoody. I washed this sweat shirt in cold after it arrived, and then ran it through the drier. It definitely is made out of cotton, lol, because it shrank a little. The great thing about all cotton with soft material, is that you can stretch it back in shape when washed again. If this happens to you, you can pull on the length and arms when it’s wet, and then hang dry it. I love the dark grey color I received. It has some brown patch accents on it as well. They do offer it in 5 other colors though. This sweatshirt washed beautifully. All of the stitching was done tight and on point. My zipper is working well and the string ties for the hood, are thick and soft white in color. It’s another fun twist from the boring cord like pulls. The collar area is my favorite part. It’s off center, so the way it flaps over is a lot of fun. This sweatshirt hangs at your upper hip line. If you are long waisted, it will be higher on you. I am 5’3” and short waisted. Read their size chart carefully, and remember you will be wearing this over clothing, lol. I suggest you order up in size. It does run small. It is a more fitted look for a sweat shirt. But, it definitely is a fun look, and it’s sooooooo soft.

Boss of a keychain/bottle opener. – American Brass’ 7.62mm Bullet Bottle Opener Keychain.

I am an avid 2^nd Amendment supporter. I personally think most pro-gun people would just love this key chain. It wouldn’t even have to have the bottle opener in it for me to love it. I think it’s awesome. My bullet keychain arrived in perfect condition. It is a recycled piece of ammunition proudly used by our US military, prior to being born again as a keychain/bottle opener. I just love, love, love that! To top off the awesomeness of this key chain, the company that makes these keychains is veteran owned an operated. This keychain is lightweight, and a great size at 3 3/8^th inches long. The key ring is metal and was done in the brass tone as well. It matches perfectly. As far as a bottle opener. This one works like a boss! It’s cut out of the bullet casing, so you know it’s tough and can handle the job easily, and over and over, too. It’s one bad ass keychain!
