OZN Commerce - Bluetooth Selfie Stick Review




This is a pretty nice little selfie stick. It has a decent reach, far greater than what your arm can do by itself. It also doesn't need any other buttons or gizmos or timers to get the perfect picture. With the press of a button on the handle, your snapping selfies like a pro! This is a pretty durable selfie stick, but my favorite thing about this particular one is the fact that the head, the part that holds your phone, is designed in such a way that it tucks back onto the handle for a very streamlined look. It also comes with a wrist strap already attached, so you don't have to worry about carrying it or losing it. I have loved using it, but the look on my parents' faces when they used it for the first time was just priceless. Now, my parents can snap selfies, together, while riding their bikes, something they didn't ever think was possible to do while riding side-by-side. I have loved using it, and so have they. It pairs nicely, no matter to Android or Apple (haven't tested Windows, but don't have a Windows phone). I highly recommend this.

Oakleaf LED Light (Green) Review





These lights will knock you off your feet, so be prepared to have a chair around when you turn these on for the first time. I turned them on sitting down the first time (thank goodness). The brightness on these little lights is amazing, and it is very visible even from a distance. There are two strands of LED lights make for a very sizable distance that can be covered. Each one has its own little switch to turn the lights on and off. I love using this, and it's perfect for wearing LED lights in say a Halloween costume (tis the season!). I have loved these, and have had no problems whatsoever so far. Truly love them!

"My twins are very much in the interested in electronics phase, so I decided to let them have a go at a kid friendly app. I do surprise, and prompt and guide, but they have had a blast figuring out everything with this app. Little fingers click thing with a purpose, the colors are bright, and overall this app has their attention like none other.

Solar Eclipse Folding Concealed Scissor Key Review



This is such a neat idea! I can't remember how many times I have wanted scissors while I'm out and about (and yes, mostly for coupons). I didn't want to carry scissors everywhere though, because who wants those sharp things potentially poking you? I sure didn't. So when I was given the chance to test this out, I leapt at it. This works so well! It has a nice swivel to it, the blades stay covered, and the best part is it resembles a (somewhat thick) key. The scissor part is really easy to use, I have had nothing but good come from putting this on my key ring. 

You can check out this pair of scissors on Amazon HERE.

TensUnit Pulse Massager Review



This feels amazing. There are 6 different settings that you can do, varying from sensations of rolling to short little jabs. The intensity (at least for me) is at a nice level on the second, any higher and it starts to hurt. However after using it for a while I was able to use the third level, which was uncomfortable at first, but then felt really nice, relaxing, and soothing. My assistant in the video is my husband, who helped me figure out things at first. Placing the pads on his back were easy enough, you just peel off the plastic film, and place the sticky parts where you want to put them. This doesn't allow for much distance between them, but it is really effective, and can be moved around as need be. It really felt nice, it did take quite a while to read all the warnings, but make sure you do. There are a lot of things in there and some might not have been something you thought of right away. Overall I love it, and I love that I can apply this to myself, like my shoulder, and give myself a massage, even in the middle of the day.

You can check out this pulse massager on Amazon HERE.

Go Away Mug Review





I love the message behind this mug. I know some people (myself included) can be a bear sometimes if I do not get my daily dose of caffeine. This is a nice little way to show people if you're ready to deal with them yet (or more accurately in my case if I'm more tolerable enough to be around yet). The print is really crystal clear on this, and you can see if from either side of the mug since it is printed twice. It holds a good amount of coffee, I have loved using it, and I love the meaning behind it. This is perfect for the grouchy before coffee drinker, and I highly recommend it. Elegant, classy, yet still has a fun side to it. Can't go wrong!

Favorite Child Mug Review



This is perfect for me, since I am always kidding my parents that my sister is actually the favorite child, and they're always saying they don't have a favorite. So I flipped it on them, I gave this to them, winked and said I was the favorite. Of course, they howled with laughter, and they love the mug (although, once again they tried to tell me they don't have a favorite). The mug itself is really solid feeling, and the handle is firmly connected to the mug. The lettering is bright, bold, and visible from both sides since you can see with the picture that it has the same phrase printed twice. This is perfect for my parents, who are not the same dominant hand. Either way, when my mom drinks with her right hand, or my dad with his left, everyone can see the mug. It always bring a smile to my face when I see them use it, and it's almost like an inside joke. I loved giving it, and I know they love using it. And that makes it the best mug I could have gotten them, that works for both.

Reusable Food Pouches - Planes Edition Review



With twins, snack time can be quite the chore. It is a delicate art of keeping them both fed, while still giving attention to both to make sure they're actually swallowing their bites. This allows me to fill up the pouches, hand it to them, and let them go to town with their own individual pouches (no waiting between bites this way). The instructions on the side of the box are very adorable, I got a big grin the first time I read them. The pouches themselves are really easy to clean, so I have one less thing I have to worry about filling my already overflowing plate (four little hands adding to it does enough damage on their own!). My twins love applesauce, especially homemade, so this makes it so easy to give them their favorite snack, and allow them to be independent. I've enjoyed watching my twins use them, and I've been known to even eat a pouch or two just because of how convenient it is to get a tasty (and healthy) snack.

Vellostar Review



I want to apologize to Vellostar for my video, I realized afterwards that I misspelled "Vellostar" in the mirror, I only had one L instead of two. That out of the way, I love using this markers. They are a little exhausting to use though, as are all chalk markers. It takes a lot of shaking to get them to write well. In the video I had shaken each marker for 5 minutes, and still the colors faded a bit more than I would have liked. The colors themselves are pretty strong and vibrant though, it just takes a little bit of effort to get them onto the glass. These write really smoothly, and they are comparable to other markers I've tried in the past with how much effort they take to get them to write. I do like the colors on these though, they really are vibrant and very bold. I love using them!

Gurin Dehumidifier Review




This is really small. it says compact, and they mean it. It also weighs a ton, so if you are wanting something lightweight, this is not the dehumidifier for you. This thing is heavy duty! I have been really impressed with it, I didn't realize the air was so humid but it sucked the moisture right out of it, and I felt like I was constantly dumping the reservoir. It doesn't do the speedy job of a full on sized dehumidifier, but it comes pretty darn close in my opinion. I have loved using it, and I have it at the ready for use if the basement starts feeling a little more humid than it needs to be.

TracKey Review



I want to start by saying what app you need to use, so you don't have to wonder. It took me 5-10 minutes to figure which app I actually needed. It's called iTracing. After the app is installed, this is a really nice little tracking device. It picks up wherever my keys might be hidden. It also helps me take pictures without my phone or using a selfie stick (which my phone is too big for most of those anyway). I've been really pleased with this, and the beeping is just loud and annoying enough that once you here it, you'll know exactly where it is (getting to it is another matter, like when your keys get swallowed by the couch). For around ten bucks though, being able to find your keys quickly is a life saver (how well I know that, after spending hours hunting for keys when I had an appointment to keep... which I missed).

FSL Speaker Review



This speaker is incredibly loud. The sound, even though loud, is very clear. What honestly shocked me the most however, was the weight of this thing. It is definitely, certifiably (not really, but sure feels like it) a brick. I actually have lifted bricks that are lighter in weight than this speaker. That being said, I know it's pretty heavy duty because of that. I've loved using it, and it's something that won't fly off the table if one of my twins happens to bump into it (something other speakers I've used just couldn't do). It lasts a pretty decent amount of time too between charges, I have had hours and hours of enjoyment from using this already!

You can check out this speaker on Amazon HERE.

YuGiOh Hero Lot Review



I had to laugh, the token card is bigger than the rest of the cards. That being said, you won't ever lose them in your deck. Every single card is in mint condition, and a lot of them are very eye catching. I wanted to do a comparison below on this lot versus the individual cards so you know you're getting your money's worth. The grand total value (when I checked) for the cards I received is $18.98. With the current price of the lot being $7.49, each card comes out to being around $0.38 a card, whereas the average value of the cards if you take the actual value is $0.95.

$0.52 A Hero Emerges
$0.50 Contrast Hero Chaos
$2.33 Destiny End Dragoon
$1.49 Elemental Hero Lady Heat
$0.68 Elemental Hero Neos Alius
$0.65 Elemental Hero Poison Rose (X2)
$0.97 Elemental Hero The Shining
$2.48 Elemental Hero Shadow Mist
$1.71 Elemental Hero Stratos
$1.49 Evil Hero Inferno Sniper
$0.60 Evil Hero Malicious Edge (X2)
$0.64 Hero Flash!!! (X2)
$0.58 Hero Signal
$0.95 Hero Spirit
$0.50 Masked Hero Divine Wind
$0.50 Masked Hero Koga (X2)

Halloween Spookymon Pokemon Lot Review




I love the fact that there are 10, yes 10 energies in this lot. The sleeves are also pretty nice, there are 50 individual sleeves, one side clear, the other a solid orange. The damage and poison counters also were a nice touch, especially with Psychic and Dark type Pokemon being the theme of this lot. I was a little disappointed in the selection on this, but the promo rare card itself made up for half the cost of the lot. The foils are something I've always been drawn to, they are really nice, and I like the fact that I got a couple of duplicates that were foil (I am very much the "oh shiny, it means so much more to me now!". Between the energies, the sleeves, the rare and foils, this definitely is worth it, I just want to caution that there are quite a bit of duplicates in this.

Tidy Tiger Silicone Baby Bib Review




This is a lot smaller bib than I was expecting. Most bibs that I see are several inches wider at the base, but being smaller means that it will fit even the smaller babies. I've been using this for a while now, and it's perfect for my boy who loves to carry around his cheerios in this. It holds food (and toys) quite well, it's got a decently stiff mouth. It is a pain in the butt though unfastening and refastening this the first 100 or so times, but after that it seems like the silicone allows more a little easier movement while still being toddler proof. It was a bit frustrating putting it on the first time, but as often as he wants to wear it, I got quite good at taking it on and off quite quickly. I love how this just needs to be wiped down, it doesn't have to go in the washing machine to become clean, just a little soapy water and some rubbing (depending on how long it's been sitting, which for me usually isn't very long), and it's good as new and ready to go for the next go-round.
