Kitchen Hearts Non-stick Silicone Baking Mats Work Great


I have had numerous cookie sheets in my time and they have all either started rusting or discolored. So many foods stick to them and other ovenware, even the non-stick ones, that I had started to use parchment paper all the time. Now good parchment paper is not cheap. I was excited to use these Kitchen Hearts Non-stick Silicone Baking Mats. They really do release the food, cookies, and any other item quickly. I think they also help keep the cooked food from burning as much (I'm notorious for burned cookies). The pizza size round mat is perfect for pita pizzas, quesadillas and other small round foods. They clean up easily and are very easy to store, either flat or rolled up. Overall, I definitely recommend Kitchen Hearts Non-Stick Silicone Baking Mats.

The Kuuk Silicone Ice Cube Trays Freeze Square Cubes Fast

These Kuuk Silicone Ice Cube Trays form perfectly square cubes of ice. They are a bit smaller than regular plastic ice cube trays, which is great because the Kuuk cubes now will fit in my stainless steel and insulated beverage containers. The smaller footprint of the Kuuk trays takes up less room in the freezer and you can stack more of them. Even though they are not hard plastic, they do not tip or spill easily. The only slight negative is that each cube is more difficult to remove than with hard plastic trays that you just twist and all the cubes come loose. With the Kuuk tray you loosen the edges, then push the cube out from the bottom. You need to do this with each cube. At least with this method the cubes don't all pop out, like with hard plastic, often ending up on the floor. Cleanup is easy, just put the trays in the top rack of the dishwasher. Overall I recommend these Kuuk Silicone Ice Cube trays for convenience, shape and size.

Ergonomic comfort, smooth stitching


This beautiful set of crochet hooks with smooth bamboo handles are wonderful for crocheting. The handles help keep my hands from getting sore. Small crochet hooks such as these are perfect for crocheting doilies, curtains, amurigami creatures and other small stitch items. Often, using just the metal hook, my hands and fingers tire easily. With the smooth bamboo handle, my hands feel better and the bamboo seems to also keep my hands warm. Switching between needle sizes is easier also because the wooden handle remains the same size no matter what the hook size is. The metal hooks are smooth and do not "catch" in the yarn/thread. I look forward to years of use of these great bamboo handled hooks and I definitely recommend them for all crocheters or even as a gift to your favorite crocheter. I have gotten other crochet supplies from this company and have always found them to be of high quality.

Nutrabear Omega 3 Gummies Are a Better Way to Take My Omega 3


I take Omega 3, Lecithin and Flaxseed Oil capsules daily. Let me tell you, these capsules are HUGE. Sometimes one will go down sideways and get stuck, and I drink tons of water to wash it down. The Nutrabear Omega 3 Gummies are a great way to solve the big capsule problem. These tasty gummies are like candy. I get a full does of Omega 3 with just chewing 1 or 2 Gummies. They are all natural flavor, with no artificial color or sweeteners. I just wish all supplements would come as gummies so I could really start my day with a smile. The Nutrabear Omega 3's have a sweet orange flavor. There is no fishy aftertaste, no fishy flavor or smell, and no fishy burps. These are just great tasting, VEGAN Omega 3's. I definitely recommend this product to everyone, vegan or not, to get your Omega 3's in a pleasant, sweet, chewy way.

Nexium 14 Day Free Trial

I received a free 14 day trial of Nexium 24hr. from Smiley 360. The timing of this free trial was perfect due to it being around the holidays. Whenever I eat a wide variety of foods or certain foods that I might love, like tomato, dairy and carbohydrates I tend to have stomach upset, heartburn and just feel unwell. Using the Nexium 24 I have noticed that my stomach upset is much less. I've finished my 14 day trial and I still seem to be having the benefits. I know it's important to eat a balanced diet, but I do splurge a bit for the holidays. Now I feel confident that I can do that with minimal heartburn or stomach unhappiness. My readers can also participate by saving up to $6 at #FreeSample Sponsored by Nexium http://h5.sml360.com/-/1qtdk

I do recommend Nexium as a first step to controlling that unpleasant feeling with overeating, eating different foods, and just all out splurging on your favorite food.

This little light of mine is ...... solar and fabulous


The Bright Outdoors Solar Go Lantern looks very unassuming when you receive it and open it up. It looks like a child's pool toy. That is part of the brilliance of this product. With just a few quick puffs you can blow this up and it becomes a lantern with a solar panel on top. It comes partially charged so you can see the effects immediately. It has a nice steady white light and also, red, greens and blues lights. These lights can be set to steady or to slow flash or rapid flash. This can be controlled on the lantern itself or via a small remote control. While the light is not bright enough to light up a full room brightly, it is certainly bright enough to navigate around a house or yard in the dark. This is great for seniors, kids or anyone who needs just a bit more light than that provided by a night light to get around at night. It is very light weight. It stays inflated. You could even use these as a nightlight by placing it strategically and using the remote. There is a button on top to check the amount of charge still left in it. To recharge, just place it outside in the sun with the solar panels facing up. You may need to move it around some to keep it out of the shade, but only a few (or up to 12) hours is needed to recharge it. Living in Louisiana we are subject to power outages several times a year. This little light is perfect to use while hunting for the candles or flashlight or just to keep a room lit for awhile. You can even deflate it to put it in your purse or backpack. All of us need to do our part ot reduce the use on traditional energy producers. Going solar is one way to help do this. I definitely recommend this product for safety, security, novelty and just plain some light when you need it.

You can purchase this product on Amazon.com. It's actually on sale right now, so go grab it, would make an excellent holiday present for kids, hunters, hikers, seniors or anyone who might need or want a bit of light in the darkness.

Better Brows Done Easily

I was lucky enough to get both the Billion Dollar Brows Best Sellers Kit and the Billion Dollar Brows 60 Seconds to Beautiful Brows Kit. Since having chemotherapy and also over-plucking I barely had anything left that could be considered "brows". Being blonde the few hairs I had left sort of just blended in with my forehead, so I was excited to try out both of these kits.

I started with the Best Sellers Kit. I started with the Universal Brow Pencil. I am blonde so I used a very light touch as I didn't want a dark colored huge brow. I gently penciled in my old brow pattern. I then used the mascara brush end of the Brow Pencil to start blending the lines together. I then used the Smudge Brush to finish blending the Brow Pencil. I realized that I was actually seeing brows on my face for the first time in a long time. Next I used the concealer to blend out any uneven tones. The concealer actually felt like a powder foundation. Finally, I used the highlighter. I was amazed that it actually appeared that I had a real brow bone. The last thing I used was the Brow Gel. It seemed to seal and set the blended brow. While this process did take some time I felt that as I did it more often it would go faster. My brows looked and felt natural and stayed that way all day. At the end of the day I washed my face with my usual cleanser and the brows disappeared.

The next day I was in a rush, so I decided to try the 60 Seconds to Beautiful Brows kit. This had a great dual ended brush and a powdered taupe colored brow color. Again, I was very careful to only use a little, drawing it with the paint brush end of the dual brush. I then used the mascara end of the dual brush to help the powdered cover my full brow area. It looked very natural and real. I think in the future I will use both kits and perhaps switch out the items from the Best Sellers Kit with the 60 Second Kit. I especially plan to use the Brow Gel with both looks as it does a great job of setting the brow and keeping the brow area moisturized. These products also cleansed well with no rubbing or redness of the brow area.

I love both of these kits. They really make the brows look natural and not artificial. While they do take some time, with practice it should be less and less. One great thing about these products is how little you need to use for each successful brow. They are very cost effective. I definitely recommend both Kits.

You can purchase this product on Billion Dollar Brows website.

#JazzyBruno Snout Balm softens and heals noses, paws, feet and elbows


Just as our hands and feet get dry and can crack, our four-footed friends have the same issues. Enter Jazzy Bruno's Snout Balm. This is a great product for them, and actually for us too. I wanted to make sure it was not too greasy, didn't have a scent, and actually softened the skin, so I put some on my elbow. The next day the skin was definitely softer and smoother with no irritation or greasiness. On the dog's nose it also softens and seems to heal the dry patches. It works wonders on paws, they just soak this balm in and the paw is much less dry and doesn't look like it is cracked. It really softens and heals. The ingredients are non-toxic to humans and pets. As you can see from my pictures, this isn't just for dogs, it's for kitties too. Both SweetPea and Kitt'N give their seal of approval. Kitt'N says it provides so much relief that he can snooze with soft paws now. I recommend this product for them and for us.

You can purchase this product on Amazon.com #JazzyBruno Don't forget your 4 footed friends when giving for the Holidays.

Great, elegant soap dispenser


I was very impressed with the All That's Original S3 Soap Dispenser. It actually looks great next to the bathroom sink. It is a stylish design. Even those it is a brushed stainless finish it still looks good next to a shiney stainless faucet. The pump action is easy to use with just one hand as the palm catches the soap when the thumb dispenses the soap. I also like that it is easy to see how much soap is left so it can be refilled before it runs out. I believe it will last a long time as it is sturdy construction. The only small thing that was a negative is that the logo of the brand is right on the front at the bottom in rather large letters. I think it would be better if it was in the back. This way it looks like the soap itself is from the brand. Overall I would recommend this Soap Dispenser to add style to the bathroom counter or in the kitchen.

Gives your "behind" time to heal

This inflatable donut cushion from Comfort Cushion is a very useful item to have. I broke my coccyx awhile ago and sitting can be painful. It is also difficult to get it to heal when I am sitting on the broken part. This cushion comes with it's own little pump that pumps it up quickly. I do recommend that you not fill it all the way up because that can make it a bit too stiff to sit on for long periods of time. Also, it's good to sit a bit forward on the cushion so your rear end is actually over the empty hole part. If you are using this on your desk chair you also might want to lower your chair a bit as this will cause you to sit higher in your chair. This is well made and seems like it would last a long time. It is not the flimsy pool donut type. This one really supports you. Another nice thing is that when you do not need to use it, you can easily deflate it by squeezing the valve and compressing the cushion to get the air out. This way you can store it or take it with you on a plane or at work. I've found that this even helps me to sit up straight in my chair. Overall, I do recommend the Comfort Cushion donut to give your "behind" a break and time to heal.

The Ozeri 8" Green Earth Frying Pan is the best frying pan and safest coated pan that I've used


I've had an excellent experience with the Ozeri 8" Green Earth Frying Pan. I needed to retire my teflon pans, cookware and bakeware because the teflon does not belong in my diet, so I was happy to receive this 8" ceramic pan to use and review. I've been using this pan almost daily since I received it and it has held up very well. I did "season" it, as was recommended on the instructions. Even cooking heavy "sticking" foods, like scrambled eggs, the pan cleans up effortlessly with dishwashing soap and water. I do not put this pan into the dishwasher as I know the awful effects of those dishwasher detergents that can strip even the glass off of drinking glasses. It cooks evenly at a lower heat than my other pans. The "waffle" pattern on the bottom of the pan seems to focus the heat better and my foods cook quicker. I only use bamboo or plastic utensils on it to avoid even a chance of scratching. On the few occasions when something did burn in the pan, it was quickly cleaned and still looks like the day I received it. I would recommend this pan to those seeking PTFE and PFOA-free pans. It cooks well and cleans up well and no more teflon in my diet.

The Allreli Gaming Mouse is For More Than Just Games


I had a high resolution gaming mouse, but thought I would give this a try because it was an even higher resolution. I could immediately tell the difference, even when functioning at the same resolution as my old mouse. This mouse is much more sensitive, flows smoothly, and is very responsive. This mouse, Model M811Lu comes with a detailed instruction manual and a mini-disk with driver. Of course, Windows 7 did it's usual plug and play and I was off to test out all the resolutions and buttons. While I set it at the same resolution as my old mouse it was so responsive that I thought I might have to set it lower. Within 2 days I was used to this mouse flying across the screen but stopping on a dime with a single click. With the software that is included on the mini-disk you can set a variety of parameters. I tend to not set up fine details of a mouse as I want all around functionality, in and out of games. With the Macro Manager you can set up specific button macros. You are also able to set up to 5 profiles, for when you want different functionality or perhaps for other members of the family. And finally, the lights, I love the various colors of the lights on this mouse, they are a soft glow. Overall, I definitely recommend this mouse, for gaming, repetitive work or just browsing. It is responsive, quick and programmable, all at a reasonable price.

It magically works to hold mops, brooms, even hanging items


There are some products that I just don't know how they work, and this is one of them. The Home IT Mop and Broom Holder looks pretty unassuming when you take it out of the package. It's called a Track Organizer. I pressed on the little balls that hold the handles of whatever you want to hang and I thought there was no way this would work. But once installed, sure enough, it held mop handles, broom handles, any handles for products that have handles similar in size to mop handles. The handles can be wood, plastic or metal and they all hang perfectly. Also, it has the additional hooks to hang items without handles or even to dry swimsuits or other hand washed items. It does come with mounting screws, however we were mounting it onto a wood brace in our laundry room, so we didn't need the plastic part that you insert before you insert your screws. My husband did recommend that if you are going to be screwing into regular wood that you use actual wood screws to hold this more firmly. I love when things work right out of the box, and this sure does. We did have some big hooks in our laundry room and this replaced one of them. Now I have room for 5 mop/broom/etc. items and 6 hooks for more items. This more than doubled our hanging capacity. I definitely recommend the Home IT Track Organizer Mop and Broom Holder for ease of installation and pure functionality.

Great scented organic facial oil that revives tired skin

Sweetsation Orchidee Vitae has a beautiful scent that lingers but does not over-power. I blends easily, quickly and completely. It immediately starts to soften and revive my skin, making it look dewy and fresh. I mainly use it as a nighttime oil. Even though it is an oil, it is a dry oil, meaning it doesn't become oily, sticky or stay on the top of the skin, but it blends and is absorbed by the skin. It maintains the skin softness even after cleansing. It even seems to make my pores look minimized and to even out my skintone. I find that it definitely reduces my fine lines, especially around the eyes. I especially like that it is organic and free from damaging chemicals and toxins. I have used other products by Sweetsation and have found all of them, including Orchidee Vitae, to be of very high quality at a reasonable price. While I can't promise that your results will be identical to mine, I definitely recommend Orchidee Vitae as a great way to look better.

UpNature Neem Oil Works Great to Keep Pests Away


Living in Louisiana, we get crawly pests year round. One of the hardest to get rid of and keep gone are ants. We have big ants, little ants, fire ants, sugar ants, you name it, we have ants. We also hate chemicals. I was so glad to get this Neem Oil to try out on our ant population. I first made an insect repellant, because we also have gnats, mosquitos and no see'ums. I made this with the UpNature Neem Oil, Tea Tree Oil, Aloe Vera, vegetable glycerin, and essential oils (most insects are drawn to geranium oil or mint oils). The Aloe Vera liquid (or you can use witch hazel, or distilled water) is easy to shake up and blends the Neem Oil perfectly. Applied to the skin it worked perfectly, avoiding bites, nibbles and annoyances from pests. It worked so well that I thought I would make a pesticide to spray outside. I made this up with the UpNature Neem Oil, honey, borax, dishwashing liquid, tea tree oil, lemon oil and warm water. We sprayed it all around the foundation of our house. It was terrific. It works rapidly and is safe for family and pets. I strongly recommend UpNature Neem Oil for all your pest problems. The great thing is that Neem Oil has many other benefits and "The Google" will tell you all about them. This is a quality product that is economical and toxin/chemical free. Get it now while it's on sale!

Myllow is a Unique Product, With Perfected Design and Many Uses


This is one of those products that are of genius conception. The Myllow Travel Pillow is much more than just a travel pillow. It is so adjustable that it can be used around the house, in the car and even taken with you to work. At first I missed even seeing the second pillow form (the square one). I use the product for my neck and love how customizable it is. I use it while watching tv as it cushions and supports my neck. By adjusting the drawcords I can adjust the softness and support. Some days when my neck hurts I pull them tighter to get firmer support, other days I leave them looser. When my back is bothering me, I pull out the square pillow, send all the little support beads into that form, put the neck pillow fabric in and I have a perfect lumbar support pillow. I highly recommend this Myllow Pillow for your travel, and health needs. Great for you and also a wonderful gift.

Great fit, Wonderful Sound, Noise Cancelling

I am fussy when it comes to my earbuds or headphones. They have to allow for custom fit, be comfortable for long periods of time, be well built, produce great sound across multiple medias, block out noise and be easily portable. The Defway Rovking V Sports headphones tick all those boxes, and they look great to boot. Once I opened the box I removed the little additional packet inside. There were 8, yes EIGHT additional ear pads. My ear canals are tiny, so I always need a smaller than standard size. I picked out the smallest and they were perfect. Next, I tried using the over the ear, in the ear, fitted to the ear shaped plugs. The over the ear wire was soft, gentle and held the earbud in place without my noticing it was there. The actual bud fit in my ear perfectly. The molded holder for the ear bud fit well into my ear. While I assume there is some standard size and shape for this, I think it would fit for most people. The great thing about the over the ear cable and the in-ear holder is that these earbuds stay in place. There is no danger of them falling out while at rest, walking or running. I keep earbuds in for 5-8 hours each day, and I found that for these Rovking earbuds/headphones I forgot they were even there. I just had perfect sound from any device I tried with them. The Noise Cancelling worked even when I was listening to one thing and others were watching tv in the same room. A great thing is that the volume control worked across all my devices, even my computer. I stream video clips, tv shows, MP3s, even CSPAN and the sound was perfect, all with controllable volume. There is even a shirt clip, which will also clip to a wrist rest when you are on the computer. These earbuds really worked for me. I definitely recommend them for young and old. Also, they are perfect Christmas presents for family, friends, even yourself.

Sentey Phaint, a workhorse of a headphone

Once again Sentey does not disappoint. I have used some of their other products, including headphones and found all of them to be exceptional. While I am not an audiophile, I usually have my headphones on for 5-8 hours a day, listening to audio presentations, music, tv shows, movies, cspan (no headphone can make that sound great), and communication calls. First, these come in a firm shell case. This is perfect for putting in your luggage or carrying in a backpack. It has a zipper and encloses the headphones completely. These headphones are a bit unique in that the earpads swivel. This is great in 2 ways, it allows use as a studio headphone and one side can be swiveled while keeping the other on, so conversation can be listened to without removing the whole headset. I was so glad to find a wonderful pair of headphones that are adjustable to my head size (it's actually normal sized, but some just don't seem to fit). They can extend approximately 1 inch on each side. The part that goes over the head is cushioned so you can barely feel it. The earpads themselves are well cushioned which does a great job blocking sound from intruding into whatever I'm listening to. There is a braided cord that will hold up well, instead of those thin plastic threads that only last a month. And finally, the sound! It is great, I love bass and the Sentey Phaint headphones let me have it without distortion. The sound was great for all my listening types. MP3s were clear and crisp, the audio in streaming video was sharp, with good balance, no highs or lows. Even listening to extended reports and hearing on C-SPAN was tolerable allowing me to hear exactly what was being said. I definitely recommend these headphones for you or for a gift, in fact, buy 2, one for each. It is great to find headphones at a reasonable price that sound as good to me as those truly expensive headphones. Another fine product from Sentey.

The ALLreLi K6 Bluetooth 4.0 Wireless Headset is comfortable, convenient and provides excellent sound and control


This headset is well-made, it is really more of a "earset" than a headset since it fits in one ear. It is very easy to use. It does require a charge when initially received, but I found it did a great job at holding it's charge. My desk is cluttered with long recharging cables for different electronics, so I like that the recharging cable for this headset is short, coming in at about 11". I actually have a little depression on the top of my computer so that I can place this headset right there to charge and there are no droopy cables to trip over. The sound quality is excellent, very clear and crisp. The controls are intuitive and easy to reach and use. No one has complained about the clarity of my voice over the microphone. It is comfortable on the ear and the microphone can be moved above the ear for those times when it is not needed. Overall, I definitely recommend this headset for work, home and play.

Can't get it to close after filling


Fuzzy Green Refillable Atomizer looks great, but I must say I was unable to use it. I had to search the net to find out even how I should start. After taking off the cap, I filled the inner plastic area with my favorite perfume. I think tried to fit the sprayer with it's tube back onto the inner plastic area. It would not fit, it would not close at all. I either had a choice of spilling all my perfume or pouring it back into the bottle. I think the problem is that there are 2 plastic tubes, one attached to the sprayer and one attached to the bottom of the atomizer. Apparently, the one attached to the bottom of the atomizer is to be inserted into spray perfumes so they can be transferred from the spray perfume into this tiny atomizer. I am just glad I didn't put my spray perfume in there or I would not have been able to use it other than to let it spill or evaporate. This is a very cute atomizer, a great small size and would easily fit in a small purse or pocket. But if I can't fill it and reclose it without leaks it just isn't for me. I got the purple color, which I can't find under this seller on Amazon. Perhaps there was a bad batch of plastic tubes and liners for this color.

Chrislie.com Measurabledifference.com Lashem.com - When a contest is not a contest and a winner is not a winner

Recently I "won" a prize in a contest I entered. I got the notification, went to claim the prize, entered my information and Whoa!!!What????Really????? It appears that my big win and my super prize were mine if (following a tiny asterix * to fine print at the bottom) I paid shipping and handling. I call foul. This "contest" and "prize" and "gift" were obviously attempts to harvest names, addresses and other information for the company. This was run by chrislie.com and measurabledifference.com. They sell makeup. Apparently, even with their "contests" they sell makeup. The shipping and handling were more than the product is worth, more than it would cost me to go buy a similar product at Walmart. Not only would I never purchase their products, I would recommend that all my followers go elsewhere for your beauty products. Most companies want to get their products out, especially to bloggers. They even ask us to run contests and giveaways for them. But websites like measurabledifference.com and chrislie.com do a disservice to the consumer and to the marketing community of which they are a part. Save your time and money, protect your information, stay away from fake contests and giveaways, especially any from these two sites.

Kukpo Stainless Steel Colander Works for Large and Small Draining


I had wanted a colander that had drain holes from the bottom to the top, one that would fit in my sink and one that could handle large and small draining needs. I had actually bought and tried one from a different brand, bought at a high priced kitchen store, but the holes seemed to just be punched through and they were all sharp to the point that I could get cut on them. I was nervous that all colanders would be like that. But I was so happy when I got my Kukpo Colander to see (and feel) that the holes were nicely polished and not sharp. I love that it fits in my sink and can strain large batches of pasta or other food items. The base is high enough that what I am draining doesn't come into contact with the sink or the drained water. It is a sturdy stainless steel without being too heavy. The handles make it easy to carry and hold. It does fast, effective draining. It even fits in my dishwasher. I definitely recommend this Kukpo Colander and plan to keep it for a lifetime.

500 Sheet Orchid Origami Paper Is Perfect For All Your Folding


I love origami and love to learn new folds and designs. I have been using the Orchid Origami Paper for my current folding projects. The colors are bright and solid. The paper is thin enough to fold easily yet sturdy enough to support your project. The sheets in this package are 6"X6". Of course, they can be cut for smaller projects. In the Christmas Tree project I had to cut the top branch sheet. I just guesstimated the size I would want. So I used the full sheet for the red base and a full sheet for the first branch, then the cut sheet for the second branch. I really like the feel of this paper. While it is not shiny or slippery in any way, it seems to glide through my fingers easily and allow me to make sharp, tight folds. You can also adorn the sheets with gel pens, stickers, or markers for added detail. I definitely recommend the Orchid Origami Paper for your folding pleasure.

You can purchase this paper on Amazon.com.

Thank you to Rob's World on YouTube for the detailed directions on how to fold this lovely tree.

HotelSpa Chrome Showerhead With Handheld Shower Combo Provides A Spa-like Experience

A shower is just a shower, right? Nope, a shower can be an Experience. The HotelSpa Showerhead with an added Handheld Shower provides your basic shower, but also a changeable dual shower experience. Each showerhead has 6 settings, so there is a potential for 36 different shower experiences. My favorite setting is the Hydrating Mist. I can imagine myself in the Amazon rain forest with a light mist enveloping my body. The pulsating massage is great for my neck and shoulders and even my sore back. There is also an Economy Rain setting for instances such as when you are washing the dog and need to lather. The diverter allows to you use the main showerhead, or the handheld showerhead or both showerheads at one time. The handheld shower also has a pause setting.

The installation literally took 10 minutes and was basically remove the old showerhead, screw on the diverter, screw on the main showerhead, screw on the sturdy 5 foot stainless steel hose, attach the handheld showerhead and place it in the slot on the diverter and you are done! Everything is included, including teflon plumbers tape to wrap the threads if needed. The only negative is that the showerheads and diverter are mainly plastic, which is good and bad. Spots are easy to remove by just wiping, but I am not sure how well the plastic will hold up over the years. There is a lifetime warranty, which is amazing. I do recommend this Showerhead combo to turn your shower into an experience.

Design Geeks Earbuds Have An Unusual Earpiece for Improved Comfort


I thought most earbuds were the same, however the unique design of this earbud helps it to be more comfortable. This allows longer term use with no irritation or pain. Rather than being a flat metal bud with a foam covering, this earbud is shaped with a small point as the speaker. It is then covered with a soft silicon that is molded to fit the speaker. This speaker point is placed in the ear to focus sound directly into the ear canal. This allows improved sound that covers all frequencies. It also is much softer and comfortable in the ear. The one suggestion I would have is to make this unique earbud in several sizes. I have a small ear canal, so while it worked generally, it didn't fit tightly enough to provide true external noise suppression. It definitely was more comfortable than other earbuds I have used. It has an inline microphone and volume control. The sound quality was very balanced with clear high notes and good bass. I definitely recommend this earbud for comfort and great sound over long periods of time.

CushionCare Keyboard Wrist Rest Pad and Mouse Wrist Rest Pad Help Me Avoid Carpal Tunnel Syndrome


I am, and have been for years, on my computer for many hours a day. I have never had the symptoms of carpal tunnel and I believe that is due to always using a wrist rest pad, both for my keyboard and my mouse. That is why I love this combination of the CushionCare Keyboard Wrist Rest Pad and Mouse Wrist Rest Pad. The keyboard wrist rest is soft and supportive of my wrists, keeping me from bending my wrists at a bad angle. The wrist rest mouse pad keeps my wrist elevated while using my mouse. The foam pads both "bounce back" after use so that they do not remain deflated by the pressure of my arms and wrists. The keyboard rest is almost the same length as my keyboard, so no matter where I type, I have the wrist rest under my arm. The mouse pad has a large circular area for the mouse to travel over and my wrist can comfortably rest on the foam pad no matter what direction I need to move my mouse. It is plenty big enough for even my oversized mouse to move with ease and not go beyond the pad area. I definitely recommend the CushionCare Keyboard Wrist Rest Pad and Mouse Wrist Rest Pad to help your wrists stay aligned in comfort and protected from stress and potential injury.
