Designer Scarf from Lily Park

4/30/2016

0 Comments

 
​The designer scarf fromLily Park exudes femininity. The soft sheer buttery fabric has a golden metallic design woven into it with a metallic thread.   It adds a touch of class to the already beautiful fabric.    The scarf is 28” long and 67” wide.   There is plenty of fabric to wear it a number of ways.    I especially like wearing it over my shoulder as a shawl on a cool spring night.   It can be worn as an infinity scarf, a head covering or as a flowing accessory or even a belt.   It is very versatile and really dresses up a plain dress.   The soft yellow goes with any color.    I have not washed it, but because it is delicate, it must be hand washed.   I don’t have any garments made out of Viscose so am not familiar with it but 70% is Polyester which I know all too well.   
Picture
I purchased the scarf at little or no cost in exchange for testing, evaluation and unbiased review.  Based on my experience with the scarf, it is a thumbs up for me.
​The scarf comes in a reusable nylon draw string bag and would make a wonderful gift to any woman of any age.   Mother’s Day is near and I am sure Mom would love this!   It is reasonably priced and so versatile.  I have no hesitation recommending this well-made scarf.

Glowing Heart Purse Light

4/30/2016

​Love is in the air with this pretty littleglowing heart.   The purse light is absolutely adorable.   It has a sensor on it so that when you open your purse, which in my case is a dark deep abyss, the heart glows and I can easily find my way around even the darkest corners.   It comes in a crystal clear box, surrounded by paper hearts.   There is an attached clip on the back which makes it easy to clip onto a side pouch or you can hang it from the included lanyard.   Either way, it lights up.    The clerk at my local grocery store was impressed when I opened my bag to pay.   She wanted to know where I got such a clever little gadget.  Of course I told her!
Picture
​This little heart would make an awesome gift and I fully intend to pick up a few for my daughters and friends.   I believe it runs off of button batteries because you will have to pull the tab to activate.   I hope they last because it doesn’t look easy to change them.    Other than that, I am very pleased with my purchase.

The Roaring Twenties Flapper Dress

​Love, love, love The PrettyGuide Women 1920's Vintage Beads Sequin Art Deco Paisley Flapper Party Dress!   This dress has hundreds of sequins and beads sewn all over it.   It is very fragile, yet gorgeous.   From the moment I put this dress on it made me feel like I went back in time to the Roaring Twenties when life was simple but so much fun.     This dress is perfect for a night out at the club or even at a costume party.   I guarantee you will get lots of complements.    
Picture
Picture
​This style is very slenderizing.   This dress comes in small, medium, large and extra-large.   I wasn’t quite sure what size to get and used the sizing guide.       The Large size fit my daughter who is a size 8 or medium perfectly.  The actual fabric of the dress is sheer but there is a lining.   As previously stated, it is fragile so special care must be taken when cleaning.   Considering how many beads are on this dress it is remarkably lightweight.   The front has a scoop neckline and the back is a scoop as well.      The listed price is great.  I would have expected a dress with this much detail to cost much more.   
I purchased this dress at little or no cost in exchange for testing, evaluation and unbiased review which I have provided.    I have no affiliation with this company.   All opinions expressed are my own.

"As Long As Love" Cuff Bracelet

4/29/2016

0 Comments

 
The rose gold cuff bracelet by Oudin is unique and exquisitely designed.   The bracelet is made of strong titanium and plated with 18K rose gold.   The cuff is solid and there is a delicate chain with a heart shaped clasp.   Dangling from the end of the chain is another solid heart with a dazzling rhinestone in the center.
Picture
The box and presentation of the bracelet is almost as nice as the piece itself.   It comes in a velvet lined box with butter colored fabric covering the box and then topped off with a perfect bow.   This would make a much appreciated gift to any woman.   With Mothers day around the corner, it would be very thoughtful.   The two hearts could signify Mom and child or husband and wife.   It is symbolic of shared love.
Picture
This is a quality piece of costume jewelry which is reasonably priced and well made.  You will not be disappointed in this piece.   It is pretty and feminine and carries the message of love.   
Disclosure:  I received the Oudin cuff bracelet for evaluation and review. Based on my observations it is definitely a thumbs up for me!

The Quad Kit from Globalstore come with everything required to assemble the frame and landing gear of this Quadcopter.   The material used in the manufacturing is super strong and smooth.  Included is a bag of screws which have a hex head and will require a small alen wrench.  

This is a great kit for an avid hobbyist or for a beginner.
Picture

2. Diagonal Wheelbase 330mm 
3. Takeoff weight (g): 600 - 1200

Picture
This is a great project for a Dad and Son or brothers.   Assembly is basic and easy.  In fact, there are no written instructions included but parts are self explanatory and you could easily figure it out by looking at the pictures online.   I like the fact that they recommend the motor,battery and propellers because I would have no idea what I needed to make this baby fly.   My Grandson just got a GoPro and is hoping to figure out a way to mount it on the quad once it is completed.

Adorable Fox Bag Charm

Isn't  this fox charm the cutest thing you ever saw? This little charm is not so little but I must say it is very charming.   It is full of bling, encrusted with crystals and a little tuft of white faux fur.  The deep black eyes and mane are enameled.  The chain, key ring and lobster clasp clip are a gold plate over a zinc metal base.  

This charm is a nice size, measuring 5.5" in height.  The clip is very easy to clip onto a handbag or backpack.   Also in addition to the clip, is a circular key ring to hold your keys.    

This little charm shows your unique style. It goes with just about any color and is an ageless beauty.  Charms are jewelry for your accessories.  I love them. 

Included with the cute fox charm clip is a black velvet bag which makes this an exquisite  and unique gift.
Did I mention the little red nose and jointed tail?   The tail sways as you move and the red nose is the perfect focal point.   Everyone who sees my Roxy Foxy (as I named her), wants one.  Of course they do!  How can you resist?

I was sent this cute little fox bag charm from Pardao to evaluate and review.  Based on my personal observations, this is definitely a keeper.  At under $10 it would make a fun Mother's Day Gift!

Even the box is very rich and luxurious with black velvet lining and hinged lid.
These earrings from Lanfeny are absolutely gorgeous.   The picture does not do them any justice.   They really sparkle when the light hits them.   Inside the little open filigree globe are multifaceted Cubic Zirconias.   The metal is sterling silver with gold overlay
Picture
The clasp on these danglers are very comfortable and sturdy.   These clasps will not come undone by themselves so you don't have to worry about loosing an earring.  
These earrings look delicate and feminine yet have a bold substantial look and feel.   The exquisite design speaks volumes.   I was given a set of the earrings for evaluation.  Based on my observations, the earrings are a high quality costume jewelry which is reasonably priced.   Any woman would love these earrings and they would make the perfect Mothers Day Gift.

Number-One LED Lighted 2.3X 4X                       Magnifier

4/24/2016

0 Comments

 
​Wow!  This magnifier is very powerful and useful.   It is a hybrid between a large magnifier desk lamp and a handheld magnifier.   With this magnifier, you get the best of both worlds.    It has a weighted, wide base so that it sits on a tabletop giving stable hands free operation and has an adjustable neck.   It is also compact and light enough to take with you.    It runs on 4 LR1130 batteries which are included.   These batteries are pretty common and can be found anywhere that batteries are sold.   I use them for my calculator.   
Picture
The main lens of the magnifier is a 2.3X which is perfect for reading, jewelry repair and craftwork.  The auxiliary lens is 4X magnification which is great for coins and jewelry inspection, as well as removing splinters.  My eyesight is not what it used to be and even with glasses it is sometimes hard to read the small print on contracts or containers.   This magnifier has been coming in handy for such things.  
 When my husband saw it, he remarked at how nice it is and he can use it also.   The lamp also comes with a soft felt lens cover to keep the lens protected when not in use.

Super Food For total Wellness

The Slim Blend PRO with 50+ Organic Super foods from Delgado is a healthy meal replacement formula which actually tastes good.   I have been drinking this in place of lunch.   I make it up in the morning in a shaker bottle and take it to work with me.   I put it in skim milk; however it can also be used in water or juice as specified.    The product itself is vegan and dairy free, so I guess by using milk, I am defeating my purpose in that respect but I am not lactose intolerant nor am I a vegan but I do appreciate the purity of this product for those who are or have allergies.

Picture
Picture
After several weeks of drinking this shake for lunch 5 days a week and skipping weekends, I have felt a renewed energy and have actually lost a couple of pounds.   I do not feel sluggish and bloated.   I have to admit that I was chalking up those feelings to age.   In addition to the protein, there is also a probiotic which regulates the digestive system keeping all of your inner works running smoothly.   Considering, that this is good for you, it tastes pretty good and I actually look forward to enjoying my liquid lunch.  ​
Picture
I am all into the science of metabolism, weight loss and nutrition and have found this product to be superior to anything on the market today.  I won’t go into details and molecular make-up because you can do this research on Delgado Natural’s website but what I will tell you is that it is the most complete food which gives your body the fuel to function at your peak and nourish without excess to be stored.   There is no guessing here.   I am also considering doing a liquid diet one day per week.   It is tough, especially for a rotund Italian woman who loves her pasta, wine and bread but this diet has been the most sustainable I have found.
The product comes in a large canister with measuring scoop.   There are 60 servings, so this jar is very economical.   I usually spend 5-10 dollars for lunch each day so considering that this will give me two months’ worth of lunches, it is a bargain, not to mention the health benefits that I am reaping!  Accompanying the supplement is a colorful booklet for you to get the most out of your product. In addition to the Slim Blend, there is a wide array of other blends tailored for individual needs.   The booklet features those products as well, so that you can choose the right combination for your individual need. ​
Picture
​I have received two products from this company to test, evaluate and review.    The second product is Stem Cell Strong Super food which is a combination of herbs and super foods like Spirlulina.   Spirluina is an algae which NASA actually considered using as a food source for Astronauts in a space station because it is one of the most complete food sources on earth.   

​This product is also gluten free, dairy free, cholesterol free, soy free, wheat free, low fat, zero sugar and *Chocolate Flavor*, yum…It complements the Slim Blend and can be added to the shake or on its own.   The Stem Cell Strong has many health benefits.  It boosts your immune system, synchronizes hormones, increases libido, supports healthy acid-alkaline balance, helps with joint health and inflammation, not to mention that it is also gluten free, dairy free, cholesterol and soy free, wheat free and has 0 fat and cholesterol!  Wow, it really is a super food!   Did I mention that it tastes great too!   Ok, maybe that is going a little too far but it doesn’t taste horrible.  It does have a vitamin taste to it.   The chocolate flavoring does help to disguise it though.  
Bottom line:  Good Stuff for Good Health!

Bluetooth Stereo Headset by                               Pianogic

4/20/2016

0 Comments

 
Picture
I am not a jogger but I do power walk and also enjoy listening to music while walking or exercising.  It sort of gives me some momentum and inspiration.   This headset hangs comfortably around my neck and the earbuds stay put, which is important.   They create a secure seal which keeps the external noise out.
The Bluetooth was very easy to pair and charging was quick.   I believe it may have arrived charged or at least partially charged.  This is the second headset of this type and price range.  Compared to the last ones which have made their way into the trash, these are exceptionally good.   There is no static and sound is crystal clear.   I particularly like the  bass which resonates and in conjunction with the noise cancelling feature, puts you in your own private concert hall.   You can answer your phone with the touch of a button.   The quality of sound on the phone is good for the wearer, however the caller may have issues hearing you if you are running or outdoors.   I also like the way the earbuds fit inside the neckband when not in use.   They are magnetic and uniquely shaped so that they stay put.

I don't really have anything negative to say about this set.  I do wish that it came with a case for storage.  ​You also have to be cautious when wearing them because you are so immersed in your music that you aren't aware of your surroundings.   
Overall, if you are looking for a neckband headset that will enhance your listening experience, the Pianogic Stereo headset does this admirably at a very reasonable price.   
Disclosure:  I received the Pianogic headset in exchange for my unbiased review.
