18 Piece Paracord Survival Bracelet with Compass

This multi purpose survival bracelet by Tactical Wilderness is the coolest I've ever seen! My son will enjoy this bracelet when he is out camping! Most people when they get this bracelet want to pull it apart, I had to tell my son not to do that because you wouldn't be able to get it back together.  You wear the bracelet to have in case you get lost.  It has everything you need to survive until you can find your way home.

Here are a some stats on it:

  • One Size Fits All - 550 Paracord - 10 inches long
  • Compass, Firesteel and Tinder
  • Whistle, 2 Safety Pins, Alcohol Pad
  • Ceramic Knife, Rubber Band
  • Fishing Gear - Fishing Line, 2 Weights, 2 Floats, 2 Hooks, 2 Swivels


I'm glad my son has this because he likes to explore now I won't worry about him so much.

You can get your own here.





Mini Bluetooth Speaker XSBOOM

I had this speaker in my hands for all of 2 hours before my daughter took it from me!  It was just so cute and really loud.  I was able to listen to the music on my phone with no problems.  I did test it out and the range is great on this speaker.  I had my phone charging so I couldn't take it with me but I needed to take a shower so I just took the speaker with me.  It was still loud and had that boom!





 The box it comes in is is just as cute and it holds a big boom too.  Not only do you get the speaker but you get the charging cable, the cable to connect your speaker to your phone, a bag and instructions.  
  The speaker isn't charged with the normal USB charger, but with a 3.5mm connection.  This is also the same connection you use to connect your phone to it if you need to.  This makes it dual-use unlike other speakers that might have both the charger connection and the phone connection.  It saves room as well.  There's also the button on the end they call the multi-function button.  This button does a few things it turns it on, it syncs it up to bluetooths and a few other things I can't remember.  There's no volume, but that's controlled by the device you have paired to it.

All in all this speaker is awesome...well it was for the little time I had it.  Kids!

You can find it here on Amazon.


Here's a short video I put on Instagram.

Wine Chiller: Kitchen Ezentials 4-in-1 Stainless Steel Wine Chiller Stick with Wine Aerator

I got this neat 4-in-1 Wine Chiller with an Aerator off Amazon.  You can get one here on Amazon if you want.  It really is awesome! 

This Wine Chiller is perfect for those who like their wine chilled. All you do is stick the stainless steel chilling rod in the freezer for a couple of hours and you can keep your wine bottle at the perfect temperature while you sip on your glass of wine. This wine chiller is even better because it has other functions. It's also a topper that pours and closes so that you can keep things from falling in. There is a rubber stopper round the neck to fit snugly in the top of any bottle. The pour spout opens automatically as you go to pour your wine. I love the design of the spout. Its sleek and easy to use. This wine chiller also acts to aerate your wine. By aerating you bring out the flavors in your wine and can savor each taste as you are sipping.
The clean up is quick and easy, just rinse with warm water and a mild soap and put the chiller stick back in the freezer for your next bottle of wine. The recommend it for white wine but it also works on reds.
This really is a neat way to keep your wine chilled and keep it handy. It's also quick and easy pouring.

Car Black Box, ZeroEdge® Windshield/Dashboard Car DVR Camera

The Car Black Box DVR Dashcam is an awesome addition to the car. My daughter is 16 and she hasn't been driving long. She's the one getting the dashcam. She'll be more aware of her driving and I will feel better knowing she is paying attention to her driving.



I got this from Amazon (where I love to get all my stuff!) and you can find it here.

About the camera.
Pros:
- Easy set up. It's a plug n play! How much easier is that?
- Automatically turns on when you start the car.
- It has a sensitivity mode that will turn on if there is movement when the car is off. (So if something hits your car it will start recording)
- You can change the sensitivity. In the menu you can select between High, Medium and Low sensitivity. I set it to high and set it down. I had it unplugged so it uses the battery at this point, when I picked it up it turned on and started recording. That's pretty sensitive if you ask me.
- Easy set up. It's a plug n play! How much easier is that?
- All the things that come with it. In the little box you get the camera, cords, a car USB adapter, a screen cleaning cloth, the stand and a 16GB TF card.
- Small, compact and still powerful.
- Multiple recording functions. You can record with seamless motion or set the cam to record in stop motion every second. Setting it to snap frames every second allows you to have longer record time.
- Light weight! It might be light weight but it's constructed well.
- You can lock videos that you don't want to be recorded over.
- If you run out of room the camera will loop back around, find the earliest recording that isn't locked and will use that space to record over. So you don't have to worry about ever running out of space.

Cons:
- The only thing I can see so far are the instructions. They leave a few questions. But you can figure it out if you start pushing buttons. :)

This is a great little camera and I'm glad I got it. My daughter's not too happy about it because she thinks I'm going to say something about her driving. I've ridden with her before I know how she drives. It's the other people out there not paying attention that worry me, at least now I can "watch" to see what's going on.

Digital Thermometer & Temperature Sensor for Fever Measurement by Generation Guard

I recently ordered this digital thermometer from Amazon as a free promotion for my honest review of it.  If you have little ones this is the thermometer that you are looking for.  You can order yours here.

About the Product

  • RAPID 15 second oral reading with CLINICAL accuracy Digital Thermometer by Generation Guard to help with quick assessment of temperature for the concerned parent or relative
  • PREMIUM packaging and customer support. Delivered by Amazon for your convenience
  • SAFE and COMFORTABLE featuring flexible tip and waterproof design with the comfort and safety of children and infants in mind
  • SUPERIOR microchip and raw materials ensure the best build quality and reliability for temperature sensing allowing readings in Celsius & Fahrenheit with the press of a button






The tip on the thermometer bends and is made of a strong material, I think it's silicone.  I know when I tested it I bit down to hold the thermometer in place and it didn't hurt my teeth or leave a mark on the thermometer.  Although you shouldn't be chewing on it...lol.

They recommend taking your temperature either orally or rectally because you don't always get an accurate reading under your armpit.  This is true with all thermometers though, not just this one.  I did test to see the difference in degrees and it read 97.1 under my arm and then 97.9 orally.  Just take the difference of the two and you can use it under your arm just remember to add the difference in the 2.  So I would add .8 to my underarm readings in order to get my correct temperature.  

This thermometer is also waterproof for the little ones in your life who like to make a mess of things. Of course you don't want to soak it but it can be washed.  The battery compartment is even sealed so water can't get in it and ruin the batteries.

This little digital Thermometer is a great one to have around if you have children young or old.

These 6 Pack Juniors Slim Cut Lace Bikini Panties are so cute!

My daughter loved them but was upset because they didn't fit, now I have to order her some that fit.
They do run small, even for Juniors so make sure you get a size or two bigger. 

They come in 4 different patterns.  I got the Rosette.  They also have Hearts, Floral and Flowers. All of the designs are cute. My favorite is the Hearts.

Here are a few stats on them:

Material: 90% Polyamide, 10% Spandex

  • Hearts: Black, White, Lavender, Yellow, Blue, Red
  • Floral: Lavender, White, Black, Red, Yellow, Blue

Shed Ninja

I have found the best dog grooming tools.

Shed Ninja Best Slicker Brush
Shed Ninja Double Sided Comb


Shed Ninja Best Slicker Brush

This is the best slicker brush! The bristles are just strong enough to get under the dogs top coat and get to the bottom coat. I like that this has bristles on both sides. The bristles are on "flaps" that will follow the dogs body instead of the solid plastic that these brushes usually come in. This makes it a lot less stressful on the dog or cat. I even went against the grain on him and he didn't even flinch, the regular solid brushes he can't stand for me to go against the grain. He'll growl and snap most of the time if I do. He had no problem with me going against the grain on this one.

I like the feel of the silicone handle and the weight of the brush is great. It is a comfort grip and I could have continued to brush him without any problem.

You can see in my pictures that my dog was in desperate need of a brushing. The after picture you can see how much of a difference even 3 mins made. I show you the brush with just a few passes on his hip, this was the third time I cleaned out the brush and I could have continued to brush him but it was starting to rain.

Here's a few facts about it.


  • GENTLE BRISTLES - The Special Bristles Are Comfortable For Your Dog or Cat Yet Firm Enough to Get Out the Toughest Mats and Tangles.
  • COMFORTABLE CONTROL AND LESS FATIGUE due to Shed Ninja's Flexible double side slicker brush with Comfort Grip Handle.
  • LEAVES A SHINY AND HEALTY TOPCOAT. Great for use on all size Dogs and Cats (two sizes available) that have short, medium and long hair. Gentle on your dog or Cat.
  • A LOT LESS PET HAIR ON FURNITURE AND CLOTHES By getting rid of a large amount of the loose undercoat. Eliminate Shedding Problems for all breeds of dogs and cats and all types of fur!
  • YOUR SATISFACTION GUARANTEED with our 100% Money-Back Guarantee.

Shed Ninja Double Sided Comb

I bought this Shed Ninja Double Sided Comb for Tank and Mack who both shed all the time. They were in eating and I wanted to try it out so I called Belle, my short haired dog. I couldn't believe the hair it got off her. This comb really does work! There are 2 size bristles that are metal and are sturdy. The handle is comfortable to use. I like the fill of the handle, it feels like a soft silicone.

Here's a little about this comb.

  • SHINIER, HEALTHIER FUR IN JUST 15 MINUTES A DAY Removes tangled, matted, loose hair and dirt and reduces shedding. Rounded pins rotate 360 degrees to remove mats with little tugging
  • A LOT LESS PET HAIR ON FURNITURE AND CLOTHES say Shed Ninja Double-Sided Comb Owners. Dense and Sparse double-sided pins for all breeds of dogs and cats and all types of fur!
  • COMFORTABLE CONTROL AND LESS FATIGUE due to Shed Ninja's Comfort Grip Handle.
  • SOOTHING AND COMFORTING MASSAGE provided by the stainless steel teeth for long, short, thick, straight or curly hair.
  • YOUR SATISFACTION GUARANTEED with our 100% Money-Back Guarantee. 

Having 4 dogs we have a lot of hair, with this cutting down on shedding hopefully we'll see a lot less hair around the house. Now if I can get the kids to help brush I'll be set!
