Half Dome Sleeping Pad

Half Dome Sleeping Pad

It's been a while!

Today's review is of this awesome Half Dome inflatable sleeping pad.  Thus far, I am pretty happy with it, however I have not had the chance to test it on a camp out yet.

So far, I can say the following:
It is very comfortable, it has a hand / foot pump for inflation, it is very easy to deflate, it seems very puncture resistant, it comes with patches to repair any punctures and it seems to hold air well.  The water resistant bag that it comes with is nice, and it does seem fairly small and light weight, which is great for backpacking. However, it is not particularly easy to inflate.  Inflation is relatively slow, and relatively time consuming.

Thus far, my only complaint is the inflation issue - but even with the issue, it is a good sleeping pad!

Take a look at this video and see what you think for yourself:

HSI Gliding Ceramic Flat Iron

Hi all!  I recently was given the opportunity to receive a gliding ceramic flat iron from HSI Professional for my wife.  

She is a big fan of this flat iron.  It works well, heats quickly and evenly, has a nice little carrying case, and as an added bonus, the edges are beveled and rounded off so that it doesn't leave lines in your hair if you use the iron to curl it.  That's a big bonus, because it means that this flat iron works as both a straightener and a curler if you want it to.

The temperature dial works great and the iron is easy to understand when it is to temperature or not.  My wife also especially likes that the power switch and the temperature dial are on the inside, so she can't accidentally adjust the head or flip it off while she's using it.

Additionally, it came with a nice little bottle of thermal spray, which my wife has been experimenting with a little bit.  It also came with argan leave-in oil treatment and a glove to use to help her avoid burning her hand.

So far, my wife has not found any negatives with this flat iron.  

So far, my wife is happy with this straightener and will continue to use it for the time being.

SWIFTSPIN Fidget Spinner

SWIFTSPIN Fidget Spinner

Hi all!  It's been a long time since I have poster a review on this blog!  Thanks for tuning into this review!  I had the opportunity to receive and review a brand new SWIFTSPIN Fidget Spinner.  

I have really enjoyed this spinner.  It may look just like the cheap spinners you can pick up  in the checkout line at a grocery store, but it is anything but.  The molding of the frame is very nice and clean and looks great and the center bearing is of very high quality.  It is made of high strength steel, which is designed to spin faster and longer than traditional hybrid ceramic bearings.  In a spin test, it lasts around 3.5 minutes!  I have another fidget spinner that has a little bit more sturdy frame that, at best, lasts for 1.5 minutes!  Not enough can be said about the bearing quality, and the effect on the spinning ability of this spinner.

Additionally, the case that it comes in is very nice and comfortable to carry in your pocket, and is a great way to protect it.

All that being said, I ended up getting a couple of these, and there are a few cons.  The first is that the frame is not the most durable I have seen.  The first one I received was damaged in shipping and had three large cracks in it.  SWIFTSPIN was great to work with on getting a new one, but still a con.  Another con, and this is only the case on one of them, is that the covers over the center bearing are a little unbalanced.  After popping off the top part, I noted that the edge was shaved down a little bit on once side, which caused the unbalance.  It could easily be remedied, but it is a downside.

All in all, I still really like this spinner and would recommend it, for the bearing quality alone.

Silicone Egg Poachers

Silicone Egg Poachers

Hi all!  I know it's been a while, but I recently had the opportunity to review these silicone egg poachers.

These are great! They are very easy to use.  They are also easy to clean and prevent me from losing any egg or from making mistakes by just putting them in a boiling pot. It's a four pack, so you can still poach four eggs at a time. They are really nice and I'm a big fan.  No complaints.

If you're interested, you can check these out at this link.  

Until later, take care!

Whiskey Rox Black Whiskey Stones

Whiskey Rox Black Whiskey Stones

Hi all!  It's been a while!  Thanks for tuning into this review!  I had the opportunity to receive and review a set of "Whiskey Rox" Whiskey Stones.  

Let me preface by saying that I do not drink, so for me, these have become soda stones.  That being said, keep in mind that since these are meant to put in a single of whiskey, 3 stones are not sufficient for a glass of soda.  If you use enough stones, they will do a great job of cooling any drink.  

In addition to cooling a drink without watering it down, these stones look really nice and are very smooth and high quality.  They come with a nice bag to place them in while they're in the freezer.  

If you're interested, take a look at the amazon listing for these whiskey stones!

This is a really nice guitar hanger.  It has drywall anchors and screws included.  It is very heavy duty and does well to hold the guitar and looks really nice as a piece for displaying your guitar.  It was super easy to install and it looks great on my wall.  I am happy with it!

IceCubby - Large Ice Storage and Ice Holder - Holds and Stores 2.5 Inch Ice Spheres or 2.25 Inch Ice Cubes

IceCubby Ice Storage

 

I recently reviewed a large ice cube tray from Practico Kitchen.  This ice holder, also from Practico, is designed to be able to fit those large ice cubes.  It can also fit standard ice cubes.  It is easy to use and looks great. It is very easy to wash since it is a soft rubbery silicone. This is great to move ice cubes to and to cover them so that they do not get the scent/flavor of anything strange in the freezer. The seal between the case and lid works great!

If you're interested, take a look at the Amazon listing for this ice holder below:

Police Grade Double Locking Handcuffs

Police Grade Double Locking Handcuffs

I recently had the opportunity to receive a this pair of police grade handcuffs at little or no cost in exchange for my honest, unbiased review.

These handcuffs are really great. They work well and are very durable. Using something long and thin, the cuffs can be released without a key as long as the second lock pin has not been pushed. However, when the cuffs are locked and the pin is pushed, it would be very difficult or impossible to release the cuffs without the keys. I highly recommend these if you need good handcuffs.

Sleep Soundly Guitar Music by Ryan Judd Review

Sleep CD for Insomnia Relief - Guitar Music for Relaxation - HELPS YOU FALL ASLEEP AND STAY ASLEEP - Music for Deep Sleep

Hi friends!  I recently had the opportunity to receive "Sleep Soundly: Guitar Music for Insomnia" by Ryan Judd at little or no cost in exchange for my honest, unbiased review.

I do not have insomnia, but I do like acoustic guitar and I do sometimes want a little extra help getting to sleep.  This CD is awesome! It is perfect for those that have trouble getting to sleep. The first track has very soothing music as well as a woman's voice giving directions on how to breath and what to do to fall asleep. The remaining tracks are full of soothing acoustic guitar and waves, which do an awesome job of helping you to stay asleep once you're already there. Ryan Judd is a certified music therapist and even sends out a document describing what to do to get the most out of the CD and program. I was very pleased with this CD and would recommend it to anyone who has a hard time getting to sleep at night.

If you're interested in checking out this CD or have trouble sleeping, please take a look and consider purchasing it on Amazon.

aLLreLi 3.3 ft 3.5 mm Audio Stereo Cable

aLLreLi 3.3 ft 3.5 mm Audio Stereo Cable

Hi all!  I received an 3.5mm audio cable from aLLreLi at little or no cost in exchange for my honest, unbiased review.

This cable is actually very nice.  It is a little bit more heavy duty than a lot of other 3.5mm cables that I have bought, so I am very happy with it.  I had an older one in my car that was wearing at the connector and sometimes cut out because of it.  I don't anticipate the same issues with this cable.  It is quite sturdy and the connectors are very nice.  It also looks really nice!  In addition, its connectors are gold-plated, which provides better audio transmission than other materials.

All in all, this is a great cable and I am really happy with it.  It sounds great, it looks great, and it feels very durable.  I don't know what more I could ask for in a cable of this type!

CacheAlaska Air Vent Cell Phone Holder

CacheAlaska Air Vent Cell Phone Holder

Hi all! I recently had the opportunity to receive this air  vent cell phone holder from CacheAlaska at little or no cost in exchange for my honest, unbiased review!  
This thing is awesome!  It is small, compact, and works super well!  It is actually a lot sturdier than I initially expected and it to be a little flimsy, since it is so low priced, but I am pleasantly surprised to have been proved wrong!  
Traditionally I have used a suction cup phone holder that attaches to my windshield, but sometimes when the sun gets really hot it messes up the suction cup and ruins the entire mount.  This doesn't have the same issue, so it is a great alternative!  It also puts my phone in a great place to see and use!

FitInfuser 32 oz Sports Fruit Infuser Water Bottle

FitInfuser 32 oz Sports Fruit Infuser Water Bottle

Hi all!  I recently received this awesome fruit infuser from FitInfuser at little or no cost in exchange for my honest, unbiased review!

I love this bottle!  I have been looking into getting an infuser for quite a while now, and I am so glad that I ended up wit this one!  It works super well and is well constructed too!  It is super heavy duty, has a nice sturdy cage for the fruit, a good spout, and the system to open/close the top is great.  In addition, it is spill proof, so the seal is very tight.

When I use this, I like to cut up a bunch of fruit and freeze it.  Then I fill up the cage, put in some water, and let it sit in the fridge for a few hours.  It works great and is a cheap alternative to juice/soda/whatever else.

If you're interested in a fruit infuser, this may just be the one for you.  Check out the Amazon listing at:

Aennon LED Motion Sensor Night Light Review

Motion Sensor Night Light for Hallway, Stairs, Closet, Bedroom, Kitchen & More! LED Wall Light Fixture w/ *FREE* Mounting Items To Stick-It-Anywhere - Buy One For Each Dark Corner! (Silver)

Hi everyone!  A few months ago I had the opportunity to review an awesome work lamp flood light made by Aennon.  Well, now I've had the opportunity to receive this super great motion control light from them at little or no cost in exchange for my honest, unbiased review.  If I liked the other light that I reviewed from Aennon, I love this one!  It is amazing!

This light works just as well or better than the ones you find in the hardware store and is much less expensive.  It is bright and the motion sensor works great - in fact, it is especially designed to only detect motion when it is dark, so you don't risk wasting the batteries when the light is not needed.  It is very easy to adjust the direction that the light is pointing and change batteries.  Additionally, apart from being automatic, it has an on/off switch so that it can be removed from the mount and used handheld as a flashlight.  A wall anchor/screw set is included with the light as well as a heavy duty 3M double sided adhesive for mounting to the wall.

I would definitely recommend this light to anyone in search of an automatic light of this class.  If you are interested, please take a look at the Amazon listing for this light.

Pencham Wireless Headset Review

Pencham Wireless Headset Review Hello my dear friends!  I recently had the opportunity to review the Penchan E915 wireless headset at little or no cost in exchange for my honest, unbiased review.  This is the third wireless headset I have reviewed in recent months, also having reviewed the Symaxio MWF-150 and the Eino E2.  
Compared to the Eino E2 headset, the two are almost identical.  The only real difference I could see was the logo.  Compared to the Symaxio MWF-150, there are some slight differences.  These are smaller and more sleek.  It is also easier to connect the charging cable tot his set.  I would, however, say that the Symaxio set is slightly more comfortable.  Still, for the price, this headset is awesome!  It looks great and performs on par with wireless sets of much greater prices.
All in all, I would recommend this headset to anyone.

Hello readers!  I recently had the opportunity to receive a JClaw LED Headlamp at little or no cost in exchange for my honest, unbiased review.
I have actually been in the market for a good LED headlamp for a while now.  This one is great!  It is durable, the head strap is easy to adjust and very comfortable.  The lamp is extremely bright and the red lights are bright and nice as well.  This headlamp does everything that is expected and everything that it advertises.  Please note that this lamp does not come with batteries and takes 3 AAA batteries, so purchase them separately in order to be able to use the lamp.
I am very pleased with this headlamp and would recommend it to anyone that is interested in obtaining one.

Sunsella Mighty Pops Silicone Popsicle Molds Review

Sunsella Mighty Pops Silicone Popsicle Molds Review

Hi everyone!  I recently had the opportunity to receive a set of silicone popsicle molds from Sunsella at little or no cost in exchange for my honest, unbiased review.
I have always been a fan of making homemade popsicles in the freezer, so the opportunity to get nice molds to make them was awesome, and these molds are great!  They are made of a nice, flexible silicone so they are easy to work with.  It is also easy to remove the popsicles from the molds and they are easy to clean.  I also really like how colorful they are.  The caps also stay on very well when they're supposed to, and are easy to remove when you're ready to eat them.
These are great molds and I really recommend them if you're into making popsicles.  Also, Sunsella provides a ebook with popsicle recipes!

Pervinco Premium Tie Bar Review

Pervinco Premium Tie Bar Review









Hey everyone! I recently had the opportunity to receive sleek, quality tie bar from Pervinco at little or no cost in exchange for my honest and unbiased review.

As a Mormon, I make it a habit to wear a tie at least once a week.  I have used a great deal of tie maintenance accessories, including pins, tacks, "tie-savers", etc.  I have wanted a tie bar for a long time, and this one is really awesome.  There are two types of tie bars: the clip, and the slider.  This is of the clip variety.  The clip on this bar is super strong and nice.  It is easy to attach and holds your tie firmly in place.  In addition, it looks great.  They also send a nice soft bag to keep it in when not in use to assure that it doesn't get scratched or damaged.  This tie bar is so great, I ended up getting 2 of them!  They even send you a few articles with instructions on how to wear them to make them look best!  I definitely recommend it to any tie enthusiast. 

Below is a link to Pervinco's listing on Amazon for this awesome tie bar.  If you wear a tie as much as I do and want a little extra something to give your look a nice pop, while holding your tie in place, look at this!

Sleep Mask / Ear Plugs Review

Sleep Mask with FREE Ear Plugs Review

Hey everyone! I recently had the opportunity to receive this Sleep Mask / Ear Plugs Combo from Aries Collection at little or no cost in exchange for my honest and unbiased review.

I had never tried using a sleep mask before I received this and I didn't think it could make a difference, but I was wrong.  It works great for blocking the sun, but additionally, it generates a great environment for sleeping.  It makes you feel isolated (in the best way).  The ear plugs are comfortable and work great for blocking sound as well.  This mask is soft, comfortable, and durable.  It is nicely padded and has a nice carrying case, as do the ear plugs.  I would definitely recommend this sleep mask, especially for anyone trying to sleep during the day.

Below is a link to Aries Collection's listing for this mask.  If you have a hard time sleeping with the lights on and need something to isolate you and help you take naps, please take a look at this mask!
