Handmade Wooden Music Box

9/18/2018

Hand cranked unique wooden music boxes by Feriwola are both charming, and enchanting. Each one is hand crafted so no two are the same. I purchased the Game of Thrones box. I love the tune and also the fact that there is a dragons head under the top cover. The craftsmanship is superb from the wood carvings to the musical mechanism.

I have been using this candle for a few weeks and it is very well made.

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.

SoundPEATS Bluetooth Sports Headphones

9/15/2016

I have had the opportunity to review many headsets and SoundPeats is by far one of my favorites. They have different styles and features from neckband, over the ear and sports models. The Q22 is an excellent choice for active lifestyles. They are lightweight and moisture resistant which is important if you wear them while jogging or at the gym. Comfort is important to SoundPeats. The ergonomically designed earbuds and provided various size ear tips and hooks, guarantee a custom fit that will stay securely in your ear.

These well forged audio earbuds are as sharp and intact as the other SoundPeat models. The Q22 avoid the use of the wide neckband by placing the electronics in the buds themselves. The Q22 are compact and last an estimated 6 hour battery life which in itself is impressive. The most important factor when choosing a headset is sound quality, of course and the Q22 delivers The Q22 raises the bar for mid priced sports headsets with it's solid dynamic range and well balanced crystal clear sound signature rooted with adequate bass. Not only does the bass, mid-range and tremble mesh together snugly and audibly but the the call quality on both ends is superb. The noise cancelling feature envelopes you in your own audio world. For added cool factor, there are magnets on the backs of the buds for securing them together.

Magnifying Makeup Mirror

9/13/2016

The 7X magnification mirror from Charmax is perfect for makeup application, plucking, blemish removal and examination. I recently used it to remove an eyelash that had folded over in my eye. The mirror itself has a bright light ring as does the suction base. You can adhere it to any smooth surface such as a tile wall, mirror or vanity top. It is very versatile and useful for everyone in the family. It has an extendable arm and swivels 360 degrees. You can instantly lock the base to the surface with a quick twist. What is really nice about this mirror is that it is wireless and runs off of 3AA batteries.

The Charmax makeup mirror is also perfect for travel since it does take up little space in your suitcase or carry-on bag and you will always have it to insure you always look your best. I like everything about this mirror, except one thing........I find myself obsessing over all the little imperfections in my skin. Geez, I never knew that I had so many pores! All the better to help me cover them all up!

Although I received the Charmax makeup mirror at a discount in exchange for testing, evaluation and unbiased review, I would purchase this product at the full price. I feel that it is a value at 22.99. It would make a great Christmas gift for anyone but especially a teen or young woman who is into makeup.. I give it 5 stars for value, functionality and appearance.

The Cat's Meow

8/26/2016

The leather cat purse byCY US Trading is so adorable. I especially think so since I happen to have a black kitty. The purse is constructed of soft genuine leather with a metallic kissing lock. The perky ears give the purse it's character.
The long strap is detachable as well as adjustable so the purse can be worn as a shoulder bag, cross-body or as a clutch. It is suitable for tall or short girls, young or old alike. The bag is very appealing. I really like this type of clasp because it closes securely. Hard for a pick pocket to

open without being noticed. I have daughters and granddaughters who would fall in love with this purse, my only dilemma is who will get this one. Perhaps I shall keep it for myself!

Although it is compact, it is designed in such a way that there is plenty of room for your essentials/ You can fit your phone, wallet, keys and small makeup bag' The purse is fully lined in a silky material. It is whimsical and sophisticated at the same time. It is definitely a must have for the discerning cat lover or Crazy Cat Ladies.

I purchased this Leather Cat purse at a discount in exchange for testing, evaluation and unbiased review, which I have provided.

This is a great price for genuine leather. If you would like to purchase one as well, just click on the link.

Angel of the Sea or Siren?

8/24/2016

Pendant Size: 23*12.5mm, Chain Length about 18". Material: 925 Silver, Stone Type: Pearl

For centuries, Mermaids have been the subject of myths, fairy tales and legends. Some say that they are good and help sailors lost at sea to find their way home while others think they are evil and cause ships to crash and sink never to be found again. Whatever you believe, you have to admit that most of us are fascinated with Mermaids. This is a beautiful sterling silver Mermaid pendant with silver box chain from Castoy. Her tail wrapped around a genuine cultured pearl. It is simply exquisite. Accompanying this stunning necklace is a black velvet pouch for storing or as a nice presentation as a gift.;

This Mermaid Sand Sculpture was found while walking on the beach in Ocean City, NJ. The artist was nowhere to be found but everyone stopped to admire her. Mermaids are mystical creatures. When you wear the Mermaid necklace, it will be admired as well giving the wearer an air of mystery and intrigue.

I received this gorgeous necklace at little or no cost in exchange for my unbiased review, based on my observations, it is a beautiful piece of jewelry with a genuine cultured pearl and sterling silver setting. It comes at a great price and I would definitely recommend it.

Vintage Airplane Clock

8/23/2016

Off we go into the wild blue yonder. This beautifully made vintage clock makes me want to sing. My father, a WWII veteran would have gotten a real kick out of the whimsical Lares Domi antiqued finish Airplane style shelf clock.
The expert craftsmanship of the quartz movement clock is evident in the design as well as the quiet movement and preciseness of this magnificent timepiece.

The decorative clock, sold on Amazon by Lishing, arrived quickly and it was well packaged. All parts meticulously wrapped. The propellers and landing gear (stand) have to be put on and the button battery tab removed but other than those few little details, the clock is assembled. It comes with a manual with instructions about set up as well as all hardware needed..

The Lares Domi airplane desk clock is worth much more than the Amazon cost. It is made well and it a great decorative and conversational piece. My college bound grandson aspires to be a Naval pilot. I think this clock would make an excellent gift.

The "Very Cool" Banana Boat

8/19/2016

These awesome inflatables are taking the internet by storm! I have seen them everywhere and wanted one. The yellow one fromQmagic was my choice of color and when inflated, reminds me of a banana. This is a very cool concept but design may need a little tweaking.
The idea is to have an instant lounger, or couch which, when deflated can fit in a small sack and is light enough to carry anywhere. No pumps or compressors needed to inflate as you use people power and wind power, which is where the issues arise.
There are two chambers, each having a very wide mouth through which the air enters.

In order to fully inflate the chambers, you will need a strong breeze. If the air is still as it was the day I tried this out, then you have to create it by running or spinning really fast. The video that I took was our first attempt at filling this thing up with air. Now that I can see the dynamic of the thing, I think a fan, vacuum cleaner or leaf blower would have made it easier. That being said, the beauty of this is that you don't need any of the modern conveniences to blow it up. If you are at a beach, you wouldn't have a leaf blower, would you? So it is fully intended to be wind powered.

The bag folds so compactly that it fits in this small shoulder bag. It is lightweight and easy to carry, yet when inflated, it is quite large.

Although it is designed to be light, the parachute type material is very strong. People use these as extra seating in a family room or outdoors, a float in a pool or a lounge by the pool or on the beach. It is very versatile and comfortable.. I look forward to new versions of this coming on the market. In the meantime, we shall practice our technique which I am sure we will be experts in no time.

Disclosure: I received the inflatable lounger from Qmagic for little or no cost in exchange for testing, evaluation and review.

Pabojoe Mens Bifold Wallet

8/10/2016

The genuine imported leather men's wallet from Cy US Trading Company. is very elegant and spacious. The bifold wallet has 9 card slots, 3 bill compartments, an ID card window and 2 sim card holders. It is a lot of wallet.

ThePabojoe wallet is larger than most bi folds. It has more compartments as well. These days we have so many cards, credit cards, ID cards, access cards, club cards, discount cards, debit cards. It is handy to keep them all in one place. Especially nice to have an attractive wallet to keep them organized. The smooth leather has a deep rich color and that wonderful new leather smell. It is fully lined with a silky material. You can tell by the superb workmanship and stitching that the craftsmen who make this wallet takes pride in their work. There are a couple of things that I personally didn't care for which was the fact that there is no coin purse, however most people do use debit cards, If you should put any coins in the billfold section, they will fall out because there is a cut out which is there to enable easy folding. The second thing I want to mention is the two sd slot holders. I tried putting a standard camera sd card in it but it did not fit. Now maybe I could pull and stretch the leather but I did not want to damage it, so I used it for a key. It makes a great key holder!

As you can see from my pictures and video that this is a quality wallet that I have no hesitation recommending. When I give gift cards as gifts, I like to put them in a wallet and wrap it up so that they have something nice to open with a surprise inside. This wallet is perfect because it comes in a nice gift box,has a designer emblem and logo and also included is a really nice key chain, also leather.

Although I received a discount on the wallet, so that I can review it, I would purchase it again.
