Review: CPR Call Blocker



For whatever reason, my cell phone doesn't get very good signal in my home so I had to switch back to using a land line while I’m home. This has unleashed a load of crap, solicitor, telemarketer, robo calls and it drives me absolutely nuts every single day. I find that even when I explicitly tell these people to stop calling me, they don’t listen and continue to call. The final straw was on Christmas day actually, a company called my home 4 times on Christmas day and it drove me up the wall since I had company. With the CPR Call Blocker I can now easily and effectively block these unwanted calls and not worry about them not taking me off of their list.



What are the features?
·         3’’ Caller display screen
·         Block area codes, international, private, unavailable, or masked calls
·         Has the ability to block nuisance callers by pressing #2 on DECT extension handsets
·         1200 number capacity
·         Line powered (no external power or batteries needed)
·         Block unwanted callers at the touch of a button
Set up:
This device is very easy to set up, all you do is hook it to your already existing phone line and it’s ready to go. Once it’s hooked up you can go in to the menu and look at the different features, and if a call comes through that you want to block, simply press the big button that says block now!



My Opinions:
This Call Blocker is an absolute life saver! I love the fact that I can block these unwanted calls without having to speak to these people. I can’t stand when I tell them to stop calling and take me off of their list and they don’t do it, so the fact that I have the option to do it myself is worth it’s weight in gold! The CallBlocker works perfectly! Get yours below:

Review: Duxtop Portable Induction Cooktop

Induction Cooktops are the new hottest thing out there right now, and I have never gotten the pleasure of owning one until I received this one by Duxtop. This burner is completely induction so you do need special pots and pans, but it is well worth it! Induction cooktops cook your food much faster, more evenly, and without emitting tons of heat into your home.

What are the features?

·         Uses 120 Volts, 15 Amps of electricity
·         Lightweight and compact for easy travel
·         Digital control panel makes for no guesswork
·         Built in count down digital timer for up to 170 minutes
·         10 temperature ranges from 140 degrees to 460 degrees Fahrenheit
·         6 foot cord
·         Auto pan detection will automatically shut the unit down after 60 seconds if no cookware is detected on the burner


My opinions on the product:

I am an avid cook, and I would consider myself to be a very good cook as well. I am very used to using my electric stove, which admittedly isn't very fast when it comes to boiling water for example. This Induction cooktop by Duxtop was so fast at boiling water I couldn't even believe it! This cooktop boiled water in well under three minutes  and was super easy to use. I appreciate the fact that this cooktop has a timer built right in, I’m used to having a timer on my oven but not my stove, I find this a very handy feature. I use this mainly when making things like rice or boiling eggs where timing is key.

The digital controls are very user friendly and make using this cooktop a breeze. There is no guesswork at all. With my traditional electric stove there are 6 temperature settings, but I never know exactly what temperature they are set at, with this induction cooktop I don’t have to worry about that.

I am so sold on this cooktop I want to recommend it to everyone in my family. I think I will buy a (super) early Christmas present for my mom and get her one! I believe I will now be using this more than my traditional stove. Get yours below:

Review: Adir Corp Mesh Desk Organizer



I am a full time blogger so I’m always working at my desk, and it tends to get very disorganized throughout my day. I find that when my desk is a mess it distracts me from the work that I should be doing, and I wind up cleaning the entire house and going back to my work after that. With the Adir Corp. Mesh Desk Organizer I can keep everything nice and neat, and stay on task with my work.


What are the features?
·         Six 2 inch wide sections for binders and folders
·         Two Horizontal letter-sized trays
·         Great for desk storage
·         Steel Mesh Construction

Opinions:

This Desk Organizer is made of steel mesh so it’s very high quality and durable it doesn't feel flimsy at all whatsoever, it’s actually quite heavy which I can appreciate. I also enjoy the fact that this organizer has so many compartments that are extra wide because I do use different binders and I enjoy being able to keep them in this organizer for easy reach. I also do like the fact that this organizer has a little weight to it, this keeps the organizer from slipping and sliding around my desk leaving scratches in it’s wake. The Adir Desk Organizer is an open faced design, meaning both sides of this organizer are open, great for keeping on the desk and having access from both sides, a great added feature for busy offices.


I don’t think I could go back to not having this desk organizer in my life, it has made everything so much easier. I can keep my to do work in one slot, bills to be paid in another and so on and so forth. If you’re looking for a  very high quality and durable desk organizer you need this one by Adir Corp.

Review: Homeleader Infrared Quartz Heater



My home gets extremely cold in the winter because it has lots of floor to ceiling windows that let all of the cool air radiate in. I find myself having to use portable heaters, my standard heater, and heated blankets, but I find I’m still cold because my portable heaters don’t do enough for me. This Homeleader Digital Infrared Quartz Heater has been absolutely great. It heats up any room in my home quickly, and it comes with a remote for easy use.

 

What are the features?

·         3400 BTUs, 1000 watts, 120 volts A.C., 60HZ, 12.5 amps

·         Can translate from Fahrenheit and Celsius temperature measurements

·         12 hour timer function, comes with a remote control for easy use

·         Backlit LED display

·         Washable lifetime air filter

·         Stay cool exterior

·         Overheat or tip over cut off switch

·         Comes with wheels for easy transport


First off, let me say that this is by far the quietest heater that I have ever owned, and it’s also the largest which makes it perfect for heating up my rooms. This heater came completely assembled so it would be great for those people that don’t find themselves very mechanically inclined. It has wheels attached to the bottom so that you can slide it across any flooring surface including carpet with ease.

 

I plugged this heater in and switched it on, it was warm and heating my room in under two minutes! I also appreciate the fact that it has a temperature dial on the front where you can actually choose what temperature you want your room to be, the maximum temperature is 86 degrees Fahrenheit. I turned it all the way up to the max just to see how loud it was, and how fast it would heat my home. This heater is whisper quiet where other heaters I’ve owned, even tiny ones are loud and sound like a roar. The Homeleader heater had my room comfortably warm within 30 minutes, I was extremely impressed.

 

Another thing I appreciate about this Homeleader heater is it’s design. It is all black and very square so it’s perfect for me to set off in the corner of my room and angle it perfectly so that it’s not in the middle of things yet it doesn't take away from the design of my room. If you’re looking for a high capacity heater at a great price you should check out this one by Homeleader.

Review: Foxwill Desk Organizer



I am a full time blogger so I’m always sitting at my desk working, and I find it tends to get very disheveled and unorganized throughout the day. I am slightly OCD, so that wears on my mind and I can’t get anything done until I clean and organize my whole home, which as you can imagine doesn't do much for my productivity at my desk. With this Foxwill Desk Organizer I now have a place for all of my most used desk items, best of all it looks stylish while sitting on my desk.


What are the features?

·         Sturdy and durable
·         Wooden structure covered by high quality PU faux leather
·         Interior and bottom are made of soft leather so it won’t scratch anything
·         Stylish Design 5 compartments can hold different office supplies (remote controls, cell phone, pens, pencils, note paper, sticky notes, name cards, and any other desk material
·         Measurements: 9/45 inches long by 5.31 inches wide by 4,72 inches high

My Opinions:

I am unbelievably thrilled with this desk organizer by Foxwill. I no longer have the crazy desk clutter that would stress me out and distract me from my work. This desk organizer is extremely well made and doesn't feel flimsy at all, I love that it’s covered in faux leather that way it looks even nicer than those acrylic organizers. I keep my note pad, sticky notes, pens and highlighters, check book, cell phone, and charging cables in this organizer while I’m working during the day. I appreciate knowing exactly where everything is and I don’t have to hunt for it whenever I do need it.



I would absolutely recommend this Foxwill desk organizer to anyone. I actually would love to have one of these for my work desk at my other full time job, this would save me a lot of stress searching for things there as well. Get your own Foxwill Desk Organizer below:

Review: Woder Survival Water Filter Bottle



Water bottles and mugs are two of my favorite things to collect, but I've never had the opportunity to own a water bottle that filters it’s own water. The Woder Survival Water Filter Bottle uses Ionic technology to filter every sip of water that you take. This gives better tasting water every time.

What are the features?
·         Drop in survival water filter-filters water from most common outdoor water sources such as lakes, rivers, streams, wells, or ponds
·         Removes 99.9% of toxic chemicals, heavy metals, unpleasant tastes and odors, and microbiological threats.
·         Tested to the EPA protocol for microbiological purifiers by the University of Arizona
·         Great for emergency use as well as every day use
·         Saves money and is green


This water bottle has really changed my mind about drinking water straight out of the tap. I have realized since using this bottle how much better my water can taste just by having it filtered. I appreciate the fact that such a high capacity water filter can be integrated into this water bottle, and there is a lid to protect the included straw so that won’t be contaminated by the elements.  This  water bottle is great not only for every day use, but it is intended to be used in emergency situations as well.

In an emergency situation if you find yourself hiking and realize you have no clean water, with this water bottle you can take water straight from a lake or stream, and drink it with confidence. This filter will draw out all of the toxins, microbiological nasties, and bad tastes so that you water will be safe.


I would recommend this water bottle to anyone, weather you’re an outdoorsy person or just a water bottle aficionado. Get yours below:

Review: Dr. Soooothe Shoulder and Neck Heat Wrap




I work 3 jobs and I blog full time as well, so I’m almost always stressed and I find I can tell the most in my neck and shoulders. I get regular massages, but in the time between massages I need to ease a little extra tension, so I use the Dr. Soooothe Shoulder and Neck Gel Heating Pad Wrap. This heating pad wrap comes with Quartz inside to help disperse the heat more evenly, and to keep the heat longer.

What are the features?

·         Comes with Quartz inside the gel! Quarts offers numerous advantages including keeping the pad hot longer.
·         Get soothing relief for neck pain and soreness with this easy to use heat therapy pad.
·         For best results flex the metal disc between your thumb and forefinger until it “clicks”, you should then see white crystallization rapidly appear.
·         This wrap quickly reaches temperatures up to 130 degrees Fahrenheit and can maintain that heat for up to 2.5 hours.
·         Can be used for cold therapy as well.
·         This long lasting wrap can be used hundreds of times, simply boil to reuse



This wrap by Dr. Soooothe absolutely amazed me. I will admit it took me a minute to realize how it worked, but once I figured it out I was very shocked. I simply flexed the metal disc inside the wrap just as the directions explained, and within a second crystals were beginning to form and I could feel this wrap heating up in my hands.

I gently dispersed the crystals around and within a minute the entire wrap was filled with warm crystals and it was very warm. I placed this wrap on my neck and shoulders on top of my clothing, because it was almost too hot to stand at first. I immediately felt a very soothing relaxing warmth that did help ease some of my neck and shoulder tension. I was so impressed with how easy this wrap was to use!

Once all of the heat wore off which was hours after first use, I read the instructions on how to prepare this wrap for re-use. I boiled some water in a large pot, placed a dish cloth at the bottom and placed this wrap inside the boiling water. I let that boil for about 5 minutes until the crystals were all dissipated. I let it cool and checked to be sure no more crystals were forming. I was very happy that on my first go I did it properly and there were no more crystals which meant this was ready to be used again any time I wish!

This wrap by Dr. Soooothe is so multi-functional that anyone could benefit from having this in their home. I was thinking about all of the things this could be used for, neck and shoulder therapy, low back therapy, stomach relief, ache and pain relief, this would even be great just if you were cold and wanted to heat this up and put it in your bed!



If you’re looking for a great portable heating pad you should get this one by Dr. Soooothe. Get yours below:

Review: Collapsible Cat Tunnel



My Cat loves all sorts of toys, but the one thing she has never had is a tunnel. As soon as I opened the Pet Magasin Collapsible Cat Tunnel  she ran right up to it and looked it over. She has been hooked ever since!

What are the features?
·         Package includes two cat tunnels 1 long (L 35’’ D 10”) 1 short (L 18” D10”)
·         Collapsible to store easily, or take with you when you travel
·         Peep hole to watch your cat play
·         2 year warranty and 100% money back guarantee

My cat was a little hesitant when I first opened these cat tunnels, she played with the fun toys at the ends of the opening, but she didn’t go in right away. Once I showed her that she can run through and hide she was good to go! She loves running through the tunnels I think it makes her feel like a kitten, she goes crazy!

Lately she has even decided that these tunnels (specifically the long one for whatever reason) should be her full time home. Whenever I can’t find her she’s normally sleeping inside the tunnel. I am very happy she is pleased with these toys!


The overall quality of the tunnels is excellent.  My cat has all of her claws, and this tunnel has withstood her wrath without showing any signs of wear and tear, and as I said she even likes it so much she sleeps in it! I would recommend this to anyone with cats! Get yours below:

Review: Omaker M4 Portable Bluetooth 4.0 Speaker



I love listening to music when in the shower or taking a relaxing bath, but I always find that I am afraid to get them wet, so I wind up playing music from the other room. With the Omaker Bluetooth Speaker, I don’t have to worry about getting it wet, and I can have it right next to my shower with no worries. This ruggedly designed speaker is splash proof!

What are the features?

·         Latest Bluetooth 4.0 Technology connect your device in 3 seconds.
·         33 foot connection range
·         Full high def sound

·         Recharge takes just 3 hours!
·         Designed as an Outdoor or Shower speaker
·         NFC Technology tap to pair


This speaker paired instantly with all of the devices I tested with it; Samsung Galaxy S4, two different Android tablets, iPad, and Kindle. I had no problems with connectivity at all. The sound quality of this speaker far surpasses other Bluetooth speakers of the same size that I’ve tested. I find that this speaker sounds great with any music genre. I have tried the speaker at full volume, and at that level the sound quality is minimally compromised, but nothing that can’t be dealt with.

The Omaker Portable Bluetooth Speaker would be a great speaker for people that do lots of camping or outdoorsy things. Simply charge this device and you’re good to go for the whole weekend if you wish. I can’t wait to try it out while camping once the weather warms up. Get yours below:

Review: Only Commercial 2 1/2 Inch Ice Ball Maker on Amazon



 I have been trying to drink more water lately because it’s so much more healthy than drinking sodas, but I need to have my water ice cold in order to drink it. With traditional ice I find it only keeps my water cold for a few minutes before it’s completely melted and I need to add more, which is a htassel With the Only Commercial 2 ½ Inch Ice Ball Maker on Amazon I am able to have ice cold water for over an hour with just one ice cube!

What are the features?
·         Time tested for 6 months to ensure the highest quality before being put on the market
·         10 year money back gagranteelus shipping costs if any
·         Each ice ball lasts over an hour at room temperature
·         Easily fits into small freezer spaces
·         Made of non stick Silicone so that the ice won’t stick to the mold. The ice ball releases easily every time
This Ice Ball Maker has been absolutely wonderful to have in my home. I find that even though the ice ball is so large it doesn’t take too long to freeze with my particular freezer model, normally two hours is all I need.

I have used these in so many ways, I mainly use them for water, but since I am so hooked on them now I have started using them with other beverages as well. I froze orange juice to add to my morning cup of orange juice without watering it down. Because these ice balls are so large you can also make flavored ice cubes very easily! I chopped up some mint and added it to my standard water ice cube as well and that was absolutely wonderful. As the ice melted it slowly infused a slight mint taste to my water which I loved. Have fun with these the options are endless!
I appreciate the fact that the Ice Ball Maker is made of Silicone, I’ve never had a problem with ice sticking to this mold, they pop out easily every single time. If you are tired of your beverages only being cold for a few minutes, you need the Only Commercial 2 ½ Inch Ice Ball Maker on Amazon. Get yours below:
