Review: Extended Battery Case for Samsung Galaxy S4 by USEE





I work two full time jobs and I’m also a product review blogger so I am constantly on my cell phone throughout the day hoping that I don’t miss anything so as you can imagine my phone dies about 3 times a day. This can be very stressful because you never know when you may need to reach someone so I resort to portable battery packs for my phone. These work great, but I always seem to forget a portable battery pack at least once a week which makes my day extremely stressful. With the Extended Battery Case by Usee, my phone charger is already attached to my phone so I don’t have to worry about forgetting it!

What are the features?
·         Smart cover available with a stylish slim decent & practical backup shell
·         Kickstand ideal for watching videos, reading, browsing the web
·         The flip cover protects your screen against scratches, dust, and dirt
·         Perfect design enables you to control all of the buttons easily no need to remove the case
·         3200mAh capacity battery can provide a long uninterrupted usage


This battery case comes in a multitude of colors so it’s sure to match anyone’s personal style, I got mine in pink and I absolutely love it. This case is not only functional it’s also stylish which I can appreciate. My case came half way charged so I could use it right out of the packaging if I wanted to, but I popped it on the charger and let it go!

I love the fact that this battery case has a flip cover so that it will protect my screen from the contents of my purse, and the kick stand makes watching videos way easier! The battery case itself is very easy to use all you do is press a button to turn on the charging feature. LED light will indicate how much battery is left in the case so you never have to guess how much juice you have left. When you want to charge this case you simply plug it in just like your cell phone, super simple!

The only downside to this case is the fact that it doesn’t have cross through technology, meaning when you plug in the case to charge it doesn’t charge the case then switch and start charging your cell phone. You have to charge both individually at night which can be a hassle to some, but it’s not  a huge deal to me.



I absolutely love this case! The fact that I can charge my phone while on the go without having to dig through my purse to find another gadget. If you’re looking to keep your phone charged while on the go you need the case by USEE. Get yours below:

Review: iPhone 6 Case by Ra-Bou





Our cell phones are possibly one of the most valuable devices we will come across because they contain access into our entire lives. I have lost quite a few cell phones because they were not properly protected by a case, so I've been on a mission to find a case that will protect my phone but still look stylish. The iPhone 6 Case by Ra-Bou is absolutely great, high quality, and doesn't bulk up your phone.



What are the features?

  • protects your phone from shock, scratches, abrasions, and other sorts of damage
  • 360 degrees of protection
  • absorbs the shock from dropping your phone
  • easily operate all of the buttons without needing to remove the case
  • tpu and polycarbonate case means for dual layered protection for your investment
My Opinions:

This case does exactly what it claims it will do. I tested this case out for quite some time and I am a very clumsy person, I drop my phone quite often and it hasn't even incurred a single scratch since I've been using this case. I appreciate the fact that they took their time making this case and got all of the button placements exact. There is nothing I hate more than a case that has the button placements off so I have to remove the case to use my phone.

I only wish this case came in brighter colors for us women out there!

Review: Makeup Train Case



I am a licensed Esthetician and Makeup Artist so as you can imagine I have TONS of beauty and makeup products. I also often travel to do people's makeup so having a great quality makeup train case has been one thing I've wanted for quite some time. I've tried plenty of other ones and the quality just isn't very good, or they are way too small for what I need. This Glenor Beauty Makeup Train Case is very high quality, large enough to fit any products that I need, has a lock, and also comes with a shoulder strap.

                                      




What are the features?
  • High quality aluminum frame with reinforced steel corners
  • 2 extendable trays with removable dividers
  • Spacious lower compartment with adjustable dividers
  • Secure easy close latches with locks
  • XL dimensions to fit all of your products
  • Shoulder strap




My Opinions:

I absolutely love this train case. I appreciate the fact that it is such a sturdy train case, there is nothing worse than a low quality train case that feels flimsy and cheap, this one feels very high quality. I also enjoy the fact that this one comes in pink, it may seem silly but sometimes it's little touches that I appreciate. The adjustable compartments are also a life saver for me. Since I am a professional Makeup Artist I carry around a large variety of makeup, and depending on the job the items can change so I like the fact that I can change my case based on my need that day.

This case is the most perfect size for me. I can fit all of my beauty and skincare products in this case and not have to pick and choose what to bring and what to leave out, everything goes in this case with room to spare!

Another great feature of this case is the removable shoulder strap. I always have my hands full so it's great that this train case comes with a shoulder strap to throw on and go!

If you're looking for a large high quality train case you need this one! Get yours below:

Review: Kiloline 3-in-1 Portable Hair Straightener, Crimping Iron and Hair Curler with Comb






I have very frizzy, unruly hair so styling it can be a major chore. I find that I have to straighten my hair almost every day just to be able to somewhat manage it, but all of my tools take up tons of space. With the Kiloline 3-in-1 Portable Hair Straightener, Crimping Iron, Hair Curler with comb I can straighten and style my hair all with the same tool!

What are the features?
·         Control dial with variable heat settings, rapid heating
·         Heats up to 400 degrees
·         Ceramic coated plate protects the hair from damage
·         Half an hour automatic shut off
·         Cool touch nylon ionic Bristles



My Opinions:

This 3 in 1 device by Kiloline works very well, I have very hard to straighten and hard to curl hair but this one works perfectly and leaves my hair shiny and beautiful.  My favorite part about this device is the fact that I can essentially straighten and curl my hair at the same time which is great since that eliminates the frizz and leave my hair with a beautiful smooth curl. To straighten and curl I wrap my hair around the iron and twist as I pull down. This gives me a beautiful spiral curl.

This iron reaches 400 degrees which is perfect for my hair. I do have unruly frizzy hair so the higher temperatures are exactly what I need, and I am very impressed that this one works so well and I am very happy that it heats up so quickly.

Review: Vapolli Hair Clips




I have very crazy, curly, unruly hair so I need to straighten it almost daily to make it even a little bit manageable. I section my hair down to make it easier to work with, and to get a beautiful sleek look but since I have such frizzy hair most duck bill clips either can't hold all of my hair or the hair falls right back down. These Vapolli Hair Clips stick in my hair and keep it perfectly sectioned until I'm ready to let it down. These clips have a rubber elastic inside to help aid in holding the hair.

What are the features?

  • 5 pack of hair clips 
  • built in silicone band to hold hair even better
  • holds hair tight without damaging it
  • anti-slip and anti-breakage
  • reusable bag for travel

These duck bill clips from Vapolli have really impressed me! They are lightweight yet made well, you can tell they won't just snap in two the first time you go to use them. I appreciate the Silicone band on the inside of these clips the most. These are the first brand of clip that I have seen that use that method, and I have to say it works beautifully. My hair is held perfectly with these clips and it doesn't slip out or fall down, best of all when I'm ready to take my hair down it doesn't pull or get caught!



If you're looking for great clips for your hair that won't break or fall right out of your hair check out these ones by Vapolli. Get yours below:

Review: VonHaus Gooseneck Tablet Mount



I have severe insomnia to the point that I only get 3 hours of sleep a night, so to help myself fall asleep I watch ASMR videos on YouTube using my tabletwhile in bed. Unfortunately, I have to admit when I start falling asleep while watching those videos I constantly drop the tablet on my face because I have no way of getting it to stand on it’s own.

When I get in bed at night I secure my tablet in this mount and watch my videos to my heart’s content. I can’t explain how much this has changed my sleeping patterns.

Review: Tagital 7'' Quad Core Android 4.4 KitKat Phone Tablet





Tablets are one of my favorite tech gadgets at the moment and they keep getting better and better, now there are phone and tablet hybrids. These devices combine the functionality of a tablet with the calling features of a phone and morph them in to one. The Tagital 7'' Phone Tablet is a great Phablet with plenty of features at a great price!

What are the features?

  • Equipped with a high speed processing platform 
  • No lag on games, web browsing, or videos
  • High quality graphics that allow for better visuals in videos and games
  • Ultra fast web browsing with built in Wi-Fi
  • Dual front and back cameras
  • Built in Bluetooth

The Set Up:

The set up of the Tagital 7'' Phone Tablet was extremely easy, anyone could do it! First, I connected the device to my Wi-Fi and it connected immediately with no problems whatsoever. Next, I connected my Google account which gives you access to your email, play store apps etc. To set up the calling features you simply insert your SIM card in the labeled slot and it's ready to use. It will work perfectly just as your normal cell phone does, but best of all this device will give the functionality of a tablet. 

My Opinions:

This Tagital Phone Tablet is outstanding for the price. I appreciate the quick touch response times, there is no lag between when you touch an icon and when the page loads. I also appreciate that I can surf the web and stream videos at lightening speed. The graphics are outstanding as well thanks to the operating system. The dual cameras are a great added feature that work for casual pictures here and there, but don't expect professional quality. 

The Google play store comes pre-installed so it's super simple to install any apps and games that you wish.



I love streaming videos to my tablet, the video quality is excellent and the speakers have nice sound quality as well. Overall, this tablet is excellent for the price point that it is offered. If you are looking for a phablet give this one a try!

Review: Elivebuy Powerbus 20000mAh Portable Charger



My phone and tablet have quickly become irreplaceable in my life, and when one of them dies while I’m out and about there is nothing that stresses me out more. I hate having to frantically search high and low for a wall outlet, and, even worse is when there are no outlets available. With the PowerBus Elivebuy 20000mAh 4 Independent USB output Portable Charger, I can charge all of my USB powered devices while on the go without needing to find a wall outlet.

What are the features?
·         4 Independent USB output ports
·         Charges the iPhone 6 over 8 times, iPhone 6 Plus or Samsung Galaxy S5 over 5 times, and the iPad air over 1 and a half times
·         Recharges in 12-14 hours with a 2 AMP Adapter
·         Perfect for long traveling
·         4 LED indicator lights display how much charge is left on the device
·         Allows for simultaneous charging of your devices at a suitable current


My Opinions:

This PowerBus charger is absolutely amazing, and has become my favorite portable charger in no time. I love the fact that it can charge 4 devices simultaneously if you so wish. It charges my phone VERY quickly which I can appreciate, and furthermore charges my phone so that I can actually disconnect it from this charger and use it on its own. There’s nothing that I hate more than a portable charger that just gives your phone enough juice to stay alive but not to actually disconnect and use it on its own again.

I tested this charger out on my Samsung Galaxy S4, my brother’s iPhone 6 plus, 4 different Android tablets, 2 Kindles, Bluetooth headphones, a GPS, and another portable charger, and this device charged them all perfectly! I enjoy the LED indicator lights on the side that way you know how much charge you have left on this device itself.

This charger fits easily into my purse with no issue whatsoever. It’s relatively thin for how powerful it is, so it slips in to my purse and it’s ready to go at a moment’s notice! This has become the only charger I take with me when I go out simply because it charges my devices at top speed, and it seems to hold a charge FOREVER. I normally only need to charge this device once a week after using it every day, sometimes multiple times a day.

I charge this PowerBus on Sunday nights, when I’m settling down for the night to watch T.V. I throw this on the charger and when I get up in the morning it’s fully charged and ready to go for the entire rest of the week!

I use them for everything including putting them in diffusers, using them as perfumes, and even mixing them in oils when doing a service at my spa. The Premium Thieves Oil from Essence of Cleopatra is a wonderfully scented essential oil made from Clove, Eucalyptus Radiata, Cinnamon, Rosemary, and Lemon.

It is also believed that Thieves Oil can boost your immune system.  I use this in my diffuser at home, and it is also said that Thieves oil can reduce airborne bacteria so putting it in a diffuser will be great for cleansing the air that you breathe while providing a beautiful scent.



I am a huge fan of this Thieves Oil, it is so multifunctional that anyone would greatly benefit from having this in their home. Get yours below:

Review: Tagital T7X 7'' Android Tablet



Tablets have quickly become one of the hottest tech gadgets out on the market and the prices can range from a few dollars all the way up to thousands and the quality of these tablets will range as well. The Tagital T7X 7'' Quad Core Android Kit Kat Tablet PC is a wonderful quality tablet at a budget price. This tablet has a very quick response, and would be ideal for beginner to moderate users.

What are the features?

  • The newest Tagital tablet is equipped with ARM A33 Cortex A-7 Quad Core high speed processing. 
  • No lag with apps or the internet
  • Faster browsing speeds
  • Android 4.4 the industry standard for high performance graphics
  • Built in Wi Fi 
  • Plug in keyboard case, which means you can use this tablet as your computer!
  • 2.0MP front facing camera, and a 2.0MP rear facing camera


The Set Up:

Setting up this tablet is very quick and easy. Just power on the device, click and go. This tablet comes with a keyboard case that you simply plug in to the micro USB slot and it's ready to use. This makes setting up your tablet extremely simple because you don't have to worry about typing on a touch screen, which never gets any easier! I immediately connected my tablet to my Wi-Fi and it connected in under 10 seconds. After that I connected my Google accounts, and from there I could download apps and games to my heart's content. You also have the ability to use the integrated browser to search the web.



My Opinions:

For the price this tablet is outstanding! I love the fact that this case can be used as a keyboard case, or as a simple kick stand case to make watching movies or tv shows super easy and comfortable. The tablet itself has a very quick touch response, I never have any lag time and all of my games work seamlessly as well, no lag time there either.

The tablet comes partially charged, but to charge it you can use the included charger or use the micro USB slot as well. That is a really key feature for me since almost all of my electronic devices charge through a micro USB it makes things much easier, I don't have to hunt all over my house for the right charging cable. 

The screen resolution is nice on this Tagital tablet also. I find that with some of the tablets at the lower price range you get a fuzzy picture quality, but that is not the case with this Tagital tablet. The picture is crisp and clear and all of my T.V. shows are high def looking. 

My favorite thing to do with this tablet is watch my shows from Hulu, Netflix, Amazon, YouTube, or online in general. I appreciate the fact that I can watch shows right from the internet, with my Kindle I can't do that. All of my apps downloaded, launch, and work perfectly with this tablet, I have never had an issue. 



This Tagital T7X tablet is perfect for the price point and would even make a great gift! Get yours below:

Review: Dishwasher Safe Cutting Board Set



I love cooking, and find myself to be a big kitchen gadget connoisseur. One thing that I have quickly learned is that you need to have a range of different cutting boards for different needs. You should never use the same cutting board for fruits and veggies that you use for raw meat because of the possibility of cross contamination, so this plastic cutting board set is great! There are three different sized cutting boards to fit each and every need.



What are the features?
·         Dishwasher safe for easy cleaning
·         Will not warp or degrade
·         Rubber feet so they don’t slip and slide around your counter
·         Large size: 16’’x10’’ Medium: 13’’x8’’ Small: 10’’x6’’ each board is 1/3’’ thick
·         Large handle which means it’s easy to transport your cutting board anywhere you need to go
·         Each board has a groove on one side to collect juice from meat, fruit, veggies etc

My Opinions:

I really enjoy these cutting boards because they are so versatile, the finish is very smooth so it doesn't feel like it’s dulling your knife down. You will start to see knife marks but that’s no big deal seeing as it is after all a cutting board.  I have been using these cutting boards for quite some time and they are still looking as good as they ever did, no knife marks have shown themselves as of now!

I also appreciate how easy these cutting boards are to clean, all you need to do is hand wash or throw them in the dishwasher and forget about them. This cutting board set also resists scents and stains, and they are very durable!
