 Me and my husband are constantly working outside doing projects on the weekend and we just have to have music while we do stuff. We live in a small town and the local radio stations only play country music from the 60's. I mean seriously, who even listens to some of that stuff anymore? It can be horrible and we end up just turning off the radio and working in silence rather than listen to some of that stuff. Don't get me wrong, we love country music- just not the slow big band opera song type they always play. Sometimes we just need to jam out to get the job done if you know what I mean.  iClever makes a portable waterproof speaker that easily connects to our phones with Bluetooth and we can finally jam out!

  The iClever portable bluetooth speaker is  one powerful little speaker! It's very small and compact, measuring only 3.9 x 2 x 3.5 inches and comes with a handy silicone wristlet to easily take wherever you may need it. It comes with a USB charging cable and an aux jack as well. When you first plug it in to charge, there's a small light that is red. Whenever it is fully charged, the light turns green. It didn't take very long for me to charge it fully, only about an hour or so. The speaker can give you up to 10 hours of continuous play time! On top of the speaker is an on/off button, volume buttons and a play/pause button.

  Connecting to my phone was very easy! I simply turned my bluetooth on and then turned the speaker on. When the speaker turned on, it actually surprised me when it talked and said "Power on"! It easily connected and I was able to play music in seconds. The speaker gets surprisingly loud and has incredibly great sound! This really is one powerful speaker! When you turn it off, it says "Power off" as well. This speaker is also waterproof, and while I wasn't brave enough to throw it in a bucket of water, I believe that it is fully capable of surviving if it got sprinkled on while we are working outside. i love the colors and the quality of this incredible speaker!

 I've been doing a lot of reviews lately and some of them need videos for. My husband was getting pretty tired of always being coerced into recording me doing mundane seeming things. A wonderful solution that helps me record myself is the Maan Cell Phone Holder! I can now shoot perfect videos with my phone all by myself!

 The Maan cell phone holder is incredibly versatile. The gooseneck is made of aluminum magnesium alloy, which will never rust, and is fully flexible to any angle you may dream up. It easily clamps onto a table or other surface with a liftable bracket brace that is lined with non-slip silicone. It can grasp anything from a thickness of .2 to 2.8 inches without causing any scratches or damages. A universal cell phone holder at the other end can fit most cell phones up to 6" and is silicone lined on each claw to help protect your phone. The holder is on a ball joint swivel base that gives you a full 360 degrees rotation. 
  I absolutely love the cell phone holder and am using it almost every day now! I really can find any angle I can possibly dream of to suite my current needs. I can easily video tape myself while the holder supports my phone steadily and without shaking! I absolutely love how flexible it is and my husband loves how he doesn't have to hold my phone all the time now! This is one of the most useful phone accessories that I have!

 I do a lot of typing every day- heck, I spend most of the day on my computer. I'm used to holding my keyboard in my lap, which is more comfortable, but bad for my posture. I was delighted to try out this Cushioncare Keyboard wrist rest and bonus mousepad!

  The keyboard wrist rest pad and mousepad are both made of premium lightweight memory foam. It's in a nice neutral black color with cute little sheep in the corner of both. The mousepad has a nice wrist rest on it as well. Both are super comfortable and molded to my wrists comfortably! With non-skid backing, they stay in place even throughout the most rigorous of movements. I was forced to actually sit at my desk right to use these, and they helped improve my posture by 1000x! They are so comfortable, I can easily type for hours without feeling any discomfort. I absolutely love this set!

​ Ear infections are pretty common in my household. However, we don't always like to for to the doctor for every slight irritation as the doctor usually won't do anything significant for us. Having our own otoscope will greatly help us with self-diagnosis of small problems and help us determine if we really do need to go to a doctor or not. ​

 The Gurin Otoscope comes in a nice little zippered leather case with a sleeve for the otoscope and a sleeve for the specula. Eight specula tips are included so you can easily switch them out between people. They're reusable, so you just need to disinfect them and store them back in the clear plastic tube they store in. The otoscope takes two 'C' batteries which are inserted in the base. The otoscope is made of chrome plated brass that is very durable and actually somewhat heavy. The handle is texturized and provides a nice, sturdy grip without slipping. The lens is 5X and made of specially coated glass to resist scratches. A swivel on the otoscope easily moves the lens on or off. The light is a 3.2V halogen that is very bright, though it also includes an all metal insufflator outlet to facilitate the use of an insufflation bulb if you choose.
   Me and the whole family tested this out on each other and checked all of our ears easily. With a little bit of angling, I was able to see very clearly into the insides of my husband's and son's ears. It's grossly fascinating what you may find in there! From hairs to little flakes of earwax, it was quite interesting! I could even see some scarring in my husband's ear from  a previous infection. I can't wait to try this out the next time one of us gets an infection to examine the inflammation and any other side effects.

 When we go on car trips, I always use one of our phones for maps to help us easily find the best route. Usually, I end up just holding the phone or setting it on the dash where it tends to slide around since I usually let my husband drive. I was thrilled to try out this long arm car mount by Liansing!

The Liansing Universal car mount came in a small box that is perfect for gifting. It consists of two pieces that you need to put together. To install, you simply unscrew a round gear on the base of the clip and place the ball of the arm inside ans then tighten. The arm is very flexible and can really be adjusted to absolutely any angle you may desire. The suction cup has a pressure lever on it and is really strong. It held my phone with no problem for a long 3 hour car trip without moving at all. The clamps were very strong and rubberized on the corners so it didn't damage my phone at all. I have a Moto G phone with a thick case on it and it fit perfectly in the grips. The swivel ball on the grip helped me move my phone around to even more angles. I was always able to have my phone perfectly positioned for the whole trip and was able to easily re-adjust it whenever I needed to. I absolutely love this mount! I'm never taking a long trip without it!

Having our own otoscope will greatly help us with self-diagnosis of small problems and help us determine if we really do need to go to a doctor or not. 

 The SantaMedical Otoscope comes with a hard plastic carrying case with molded spots for the included pieces. It includes the otoscope, 3 different sized specula and a spare 2.5V halogen lamp. The otocope takes two "C" batteries to power it which you install through the base. Different specula tips attach by a pin swivel into a groove at the tip of the otoscope. The magnifying lens swivels to suit your current need. The lamp is very bright and fully illuminates inside of the orifice you may be examining. With a grooved handle, it was very easy to hold onto without slipping around.
   Me and the whole family tested this out on each other and checked all of our ears easily. The tips do not have disposible covers, so you need to clean them with an alcohol wipe between people to reduce spreading of bacteria.

  My family loves to go camping. A true must have item is a lantern, otherwise you're outta luck after dark! The LED lantern by Vodiy covers all of our basic needs and is safer than our other kerosene lanterns. I have a six year old son and he's forbidden from touching our glass-domed kerosene lanterns. However, this lantern seems completely safe for him to use- even unsupervised!
   Made of a durable military grade materials, the triple sealed base makes it rain, moisture and condensation proof. The rubberized coating on the top and bottom is meant to withstand even the most drastic of dropping. There's even a removable outer globe that is of a soft plastic type material guaranteed not to break. The lantern is very small and easy to use with a convenient carrying handle as well. Overall, this lantern is very safe for kids to use by themselves and can withstand habitual clumsiness.

 The lantern also has six lighting modes to suit all your different needs. There's 4 white light modes- high, med, low and SOS flashing. Then there's also two red light modes- red light still and flashing. Each can be cycled through by pressing the lit green button. To turn off, you just press and hold the button for 2 seconds. The lantern runs off of 3 D batteries and can last up to 6 days of solid lighting.
  I absolutely love this lantern and my six year old has officially made it "his". I feel completely safe letting him run around on his own with this lantern! There's no risk of broken glass or getting burned!!

 Selfie sticks are all the rage right now! Everywhere you look on social media, people are using them everyday. There's even silly cases of people posing with fake selfie sticks, using broom handles and pipes and other random objects. I'm not huge on taking photos of myself, but I was thrilled when I was offered to review this bluetooth selfie stick by Liansing. I'm starting to do a lot of reviews lately, and this is definitely going to make my photo shoots a lot easier from now on!

 The selfie stick is very small and compact, measuring only 7.2" folded. It can easily fit in a purse, fanny pack or even your pocket if you wear cargo pants or have deep pockets without taking up too much room. When needed, it can extend up to 31.5 inches and you can get some really far shots with it! The stick came with a USB charging cable, a waterproof storage bag, a wrist strap and a very simple, easy to follow instruction manual.
   To charge, you simply plug the USB cord into the base of your selfie stick and then plug the USB end into your computer or any other USB charging station. While charging, a red light comes on. I was also able to plug it into my phone charger and it fit perfect as well, which is awesome for when you're not near a computer but still have your phone charger! The selfie stick charged very quickly, it seemed fully charged in less than 15 minutes. 

The grip is rubberized and spring loaded and stretched to accommodate pretty much any phone size. It's actually a little strong and takes a little bit of practice to get your phone in there. Once your phones in though, it's very secure and in no danger of falling out while you're moving around. The grip also swivels to any direction you may need it and locks in that position with a screw type locking mechanism. You can pretty much get any angle you desire with this selfie stick!  
   Connecting my phone to it was a breeze! I simply pressed the button to turn the stick on. It blinked while it was searching for my phone. On my phone, I did a device search in my bluetooth menu, and it found it within just a few seconds and had no problems connecting. I put my phone in the clamp and simply pressed the camera button on the stick to start taking pictures! It was so easy!!The grip is slightly rubberized and easily stays in your grasp without getting sweaty and slipping. This stick is very sturdy and easy to take steady pictures without shaking or blurring.
  I am very impressed with how versatile this stick is, you can get pretty much any angle or distance you may desire while still staying nice and compact. It's so easy to use that I got how to use it within seconds even though I don't have much practice with selfie sticks!

AYL makes a portable waterproof speaker that easily connects to our phones with Bluetooth and we can finally jam out!

​ 

 They AYL portable speaker is very small and compact and well....cute! It only measures 3.5" x 3.5" x 1.5" and comes with a nice mesh type carrying bag. It can very easily fir into a purse or other bag so you can take it with you anywhere without it taking up too much space. It also has a nice silicone handle that you can use to easily carry it around or to hang somewhere. The speaker is very cute and attractive and I absolutely love the blue color that it came in. Also included with the speaker was a USB charging cable, and aux in cable and a short instruction manual. This powerful little speaker easily charges off a USB cable and I even plugged it into my phone charger and it charged just fine. No more worrying about changing out expensive batteries! You can listen up to 12 hours off of one charge! I simply plugged the USB cable into my computer and in less than an hour it was fully charged. While it's charging, a small orange light came on. The speaker easily paired with my phone in just a few seconds, it came up under "SoundFit".  It makes a cute little chime when it connects and it's ready to go. 
   When I played my first song on it, I was surprised with how great the sound quality was! It sounded just as good as my 60" soundbar that I have and actually played bass really good. On top of the speaker is volume buttons, a power button and a play/pause button so you can control it from there or though your phone. It has a very versatile range of up to 33 feet, so you can put it somewhere and be pretty far away with your phone and still control it easily. I'm very happy that it's waterproof as well just in case it starts raining while we're outside I don't have to have a heart attack if it gets a little wet. I wasn't actually brave enough to throw it in a bucket of water, but the instructions suggest to let it drain fully if it gets wet. The speaker itself seems very durable and can definitely be dropped and roughed up a bit without any damage occurring. This speaker is absolutely awesome with incredible sound quality! I can't wait to take it camping!

My husband recently had his credit card stolen without it even leaving his wallet! It's amazing how advanced thieves are getting nowadays. Somehow, they can steal your entire identity just by walking past you. It's extremely frustrating to cancel all your cards and then having to use cash for everything for two weeks until your new cards come in. You never realize how much you use your cards until it's time to pay all your bills, get gas,, or simply go grocery shopping! But, with thieves getting more advanced, ways of fighting them are getting more advanced too.  
​  While there are RFID blocking sleeves, they can be troublesome to fumble with them trying to get your card out at the register and they can get quite bulky if you need quite a few of them. RF Shield has come up with a perfect way of fighting those annoyingly advanced thieves! They produce a whole RFID blocking wallet. 

RF Shield's RFID blocking wallet came nicely gift wrapped, and perfect for gifting to any man in your life. The wallet itself is made of genuine leather with a cowhide layer on top that is very sleek and soft to the touch. The wallet is very nicely made, with fine stitching along the edges. The leather seems very durable and can withstand quite a bit of battering. The RFID blocking material is built into the inside of the wallet, you don't even see it, it looks just like a normal wallet.
  The wallet is very easily accessible with a see thru mesh ID pocket and three credit card slots that perfectly accommodate your cards. It also has two nice big cash compartments as well, perfect for keeping cash and receipts. The wallet is very easy to use, and very convenient to get to your cards whenever you need quick access. It's nice and slim, not bulky and bulging like some other wallets, perfect for slipping in your back pocket without feeling like you're sitting on a phonebook! 
   This wallet really works!! Usually, when my husband gets to work, he just passes his whole wallet underneath the time clock and it scans his time card. Well, yesterday morning, it couldn't scan it, and he had to go take his card out of the wallet before it would scan. It's a little inconvenient, but at least we know it really works! He'd rather do that than have to go through canceling cards and getting new ones which is a nightmare! My husband feels so much more secure going places with this wallet now!
