PALADA Men's Digital Analog Wrist Watch

7/7/2017

This heavyweight man's digital watch by Palada is everything you would want in a rugged analog watch. I purchased this watch for my husband who is an outdoorsman and not very tech savvy. I am the one who always has to figure out how to set his watches. Analog watches which are good quality are not easy to find in local jewelry stores. The ones that I do find are not very stylish and look cheap. My first impression of this watch was how attractive it looked. When I got the actual product, I was very impressed with the quality. It has a large face and is a rugged heavy weight manly mans watch. It was exactly what I was looking for to give to my technically challenged husband.

The watch comes in a nice tin with clear window at the top to see the watch. It is very nicely presented for gifting and also comes with a 2 year warranty. After trying it out myself for the purpose of my review, I gave the watch to my husband. His reaction was priceless. Finally, a watch that excited him!

This watch is every bit like a more expensive counter part. The band alone is worth more than the price of the watch. I would say that this watch would easily sell for about $85 USD or more, however it is currently on sale for much less at Amazon.com. I highly recommend it for yourself or as a gift.

AnSun Flameless Candle

4/2/2017

This lovely candle light from Ansun gives the glow of a real candle without the flame. No batteries are required as it charges via the included usb cable. Blow on it to turn it on or off. The charge lasts all night which makes it a perfect night light for a bathroom or babys room.

Specs
Input voltage: DC5V
Charging Time: 2hrs
Power: 1.7W
Brightness Runtime:
High - 9 hours
Mid - 18 hours
Low - 40 hours
Material: The candle is quite durable for children’s safety, providing an absolute safe environment for kids with PP plastic body, ABS material lampshade

I have been using this candle for a few weeks and it is very well made. The usb charging port was tricky at first because the cable had to be put in upside down but once I knew that, it was not an issue. I keep it in the bathroom as you can see in my video. When visiting in the middle of the night, there is just enough light to see without being blinding. I would definitely recommend this product. You can't beat the price either.

K2 Rollerblades

3/10/2017

We've come a long way baby! Apparently the K2 brand of roller blades is the Rolls Royce of skates. My 16 year old grandson recently decided that he wanted to learn how to ice skate. I know, I know. Most kids this age already know how to skate, but I think today's kids are more into other things so never partook in the simple pleasures. This new found interest and talent made him want to excel so he is taking lessons. I have to admit that he is a quick learner when it is something that he really wants. So, just how did ice skating translate into roller blading?

Chris's skating progress. Before he got his new skates.

As he gained more confidence in ice skating, which you can see in this video after lesson 3, he decided to try roller skating....again. I know more than anyone that those wheels are much more challenging than blades, but much more convenient to grab your skates and go outside to skate in the road and pavement.
Well, It was his 16th Birthday and this is what he wanted. What he wants, he gets. Hey, you are only 16 once in a lifetime.

Nothing can slow you down with theK2 F I T Pro 84 Inline Skate Its built around a D C Aluminum frame that is responsive and lets you get the most out of the 84mm wheels while still being light and paired with a Stability Plus Cuff for control and comfort The Original K2 Softboot has integrated arch and lateral support making it easier to keep the skates on longer and the Speed Lace system makes it easy to take off once youre ready to stop skating.

I Love You to the Moon and Back

2/15/2017

The sentiment says it all. I tell my kids this all the time as do many parents and lovers. This necklace, a full and quarter moon with the loving words stamped on the silver.

The necklace is made of an inexpensive metal alloy and polished to a high gloss making it look like expensive silver. The box chain, also silver tone is elegant and functional. This is the kind of necklace that can be worn dressed up or down with jeans. I have gotten many compliments on this one which I purchased around Valentines day and fully intended to give to one of my girls. The only problem, is that I have three daughters and love each one equally so I kept it for myself.

Laurel Burch Totes

2/9/2017

Sleek design - Funky print

OMG! Laurel Burch bags are cute, wild, artsy and functional! I love these bags. The only problem that I have is trying to decide which one to buy. Not to worry though because there are all sizes and styles equally adorable and whimsical. Although she seems to favor Cats, you can find her designs with dogs, horses or other creatures, great and small.
My daughter Crissy is a self proclaimed "cat lady" . She has two very different yet equally lovable tabbies, an orange and a silver. It is her birthday this month so I thought I would treat her to a Laurel Burch bag. I decided on the black medium tote because it is slightly more conservative than some of the others and it depicts two cats, just like hers.

The bag is larger than expected, about the size of a duffel bag which makes this tote the perfect size for the gym, knitting or crafts or even as an overnight or carry on bag. It can be used as a pocketbook however the durable canvas fabric is well suited for a utility bag. The top has a zipper closure and there is a small zipper compartment inside. The print is on both sides of the bag. All of Laurel Burch's bags have a bag charm hanging from the handles. I know that my cat loving daughter will love it!

Doggles?

2/8/2017

There was a time that I would never imagine putting glasses on my dog, but really why not? Their eyes need to be protected just like ours. Not only does sun and glare hurt their eyes but so does wind, sand and flying debris. If you have the kind of dog that loves to hang his head out the car window, having eye protection is a must.
These doggie goggles are fully adjustable with soft memory foam around the eyes. Marco doesn't seem to mind wearing them but it did take some getting used to them.

The dog goggles by Qumy is our first pair. I was reluctant but the pricing was very reasonable so I decided to try them. I am glad that I did because he has gotten some use out of them, even though it is winter, that snow can get bright! Oh, and did I mention that they are so darn cute! He looks so bad ass, doesn't he?

The Home Gym Hero

1/22/2017

Home Gym Hero is a series of massage balls which help ease sore muscles during recovery. My favorite one is the green spiky one. I use that on on my legs and feet. It helps get the blood circulating and also relieves tight sore muscles.
The single ball is easy to use on your arms, neck and shoulders. I just roll it over my tight stressed muscles relieving all the tensions.

The double black which resembles a dumbbell is great for the back. Put it up against the wall with one ball on each side of your spine and move up and down to apply even pressure on both sides which help your back muscles keep your spine straight and aligned.

The Home Hero comes with everything you see here. This Portable and lightweight massage kit in a carrying bag is backed by a 30-day money back guarantee policy!

LUNATIK EPIK Polycarbonate Watch Case and Strap for Apple iWatch

1/2/2017

I purchased this heavy duty watch case as one of my grandson's Christmas gifts. He is a watch junkie at 15 and has an iWatch along with several G-shock watches. When he opened the box and saw this, he was very excited, stating that his iWatch is now a g-shock.
Don't get me wrong, the iWatch was way more expensive than the g-watches but also much more fragile. This case takes the worry out ot banging it around. He can now wear his favorite watch everyday. It is like having a Lifeproof or Otterbox for your watch.

I was a little worried after reading some of the reviews regarding the difficulty level of putting the tiny screws in and the warning about having it on correctly or the crown would not rotate but my grandson had it on his list so I purchased it anyway. Much to my surprise and relief, he loved it and got it on his watch in 5 minutes.
I paid full price for this watchband case but it is now on sale on Amazon for a great price. I definately would recommend it.
