Sunfyre Tek Small LED Magnifying Glass - #2017

Do you do any small detail work?  Painting small objects, jewelry inspection?  Or are your eyes aging and getting tired like mine?  This is a super little magnifier!  First, it is only about 7 inches long and 3 inches wide.  Perfect to tuck into a small space or purse.


 You can see the great detail in my very dry and in need of moisturizer hand with the large magnifier.  Then I moved to the super powerful small magnifier...thing almost the size of a loop.  You can easily see that I need to get to a jeweler and get two of the small marcasite stones in my ring replaced.

This would also be great for doing electronic work, painted eggs, detail crafts or anything where your eyes need a boost.  





Morale Patch - #2013


Want to show your support to our men in blue?  What a great and easy way!  This is a really nice, high quality patch.  It has really nice stitching and a thick finished edge.

The best part...it is velcro!!  The velcro is super strong and thick.  So easy to attach to surface and reposition too.  The velcro feature allows you to use the patch on many different items as well.
Here I slapped it easily onto my daughter's arm sling.


My first thought when these arrived was "Good Lord!  These are heavy!"
They come as a two pack and are 14 feet long each.  The nylon straps are thick and will not easily snap or fray.  The straps are attached around each piece with a double set of stitching.  The straps also come with a storage bag to keep everything together and dry.  I will be able to just toss these under the seat of the pick up truck and keep them there.  No need to store them elsewhere in the garage.  


These are really heavy duty ratchet latches.  My dad, who is always a pessimist, couldn't believe how well made and heavy duty the ratchets were.  We don't have to tie things down too frequently but these will be perfect when we buy new furniture or appliances.


Safety Pwease - child proof cabinet locks

My daughter used to get into EVERYTHING when she was little.  While she is a perfect teenager now, she was hell on wheels as a toddler/preschooler.  We had to lock everything around her.  She was very adept at getting things open and she was FAST.  Oh how I wish I had these for the cabinets.  These cabinet locks are so much easier than the old style ones with the straps.  While an adult has the dexterity to open this lock one handed, a smaller child will not.  This would have stopped Natalie in her tracks from getting into the pots and pans cabinet while making it easier for me to still access my pots while I prepared dinner.  There is no need to have the right kind of nobs on the cabinets either.  These stick right onto the cabinets with the included adhesive patches.  Just peel off the backing and apply to the cabinet.  To remove, I was able to use scrapbook adhesive remover called Undu.  It left no residue or marks on the cabinets.

The lock is simple to use.  Just squeeze the center bar to disengage the latch and pivot up to open!

To close, just pivot the lever back down and it snaps closed.

Best part, there are six of them in the package!  

Robin Tech - wireless earbuds - #2010

This is another really cool product!  These earbuds sync up using bluetooth technology to iPods, iPhones, iPads, android, ps4 and windows devices.  They are also sweatproof for those people who are so inclined to use them while exercising...that just won't be me!  They will actively play music for 4-6 hours and recharge in less than 2 hours.  They also have a built in microphone and a strap that secures them together that goes behind your head.

They are fairly small and compact for comfort and will not get in the way.  It takes a few minutes to get used to having the strap behind your head but otherwise these are very comfortable.

Everything fits into this nice little zippered case too.  Spare parts and the charging cord tuck easily into the little mesh pouch.  

The set also comes with two other sets of different sized ear plugs and the USB charging cord too.

The sound quality is great, almost too great.  While using them as a handfree phone option, they do pick up quite a bit of background noise that a regular phone would not.  They created a little bit of an echo but once I turned down the volume, it helped with the background noise.
Multi-Strand Leather Bracelet - #2003


This bracelet is such a treat!  Most of the items that I get to review are household or health related.  This bracelet is just for fun!

The bracelet has four strands.  Two are beaded, one is a flat strap and the last is braided.  The entire bracelet is neutral browns with the exception of one larger colored bead which is a very pretty indigo color.  I would think that it would coordinate nicely with anything in the blue or purple family as well as any browns or blacks.  This is very versatile a great casual piece for everyday.


The strap is completely adjustable too.  Slip the bracelet on and pull the ends to tighten.  Time to take it off?  Gently nudge the straps apart and the bracelet slips over your hand easily too.  This will keep the leather from stretching out or snapping over time.  It seems to be very well made and a nice piece overall.

Dog Harness/Leash Set -



Penny the furball, loves to go for walks but is usually so excited that she pulls and ends up choking herself.  This harness/leash is so awesome that even my five year old can now walk her without worry,

The harness easily slips over her front paws and snaps together on her back.  The leash then attaches with a simple squeeze clip.  The leash is made from a soft material, that while somewhat spongy to be soft to your hand, is also very strong.  There is a nice loop at the end to hold onto as well.

We got the smallest size for Penny (who is a 10 pound yorkie) and it fits perfectly.  There is still room to make adjustments for when she is fluffier and hasn't been groomed and it can also be tightened for when it's summer and she is shaved down without much fuzz.

Compared to her other Martha Stewart harness and leash, I think this one is a much better quality.
