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.

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.

Sweetsation's iLight Reduces Signs of Aging


It is hard to believe that such a small tube could have such lasting benefits. Sweetsation's iLight Treatment packs so many ingredients into a small space, but each ingredient has it's purpose. The first thing I loved was the unique tube and applicator. It allows me to gently dispense the cream and lightly massage it around my eye area. Of course, you can also use your finger to gently pat the cream around your eye. Only a small amount is needed, however I found that even if too much was applied the extra could be patted along the smile lines or anywhere that skin needed an extra boost of health. The first thing I noticed was that the skin around my eyes became much softer and smoother. It reduced the look of fine lines and wrinkles. As I continued to use the cream I noticed that the dark circles under my eyes seemed to lighten and fade. Also, the puffiness that I occasionally have around my eyes and brow area seemed to disappear. I had not fully read the description of the package, but after these changes I did. I found that specific ingredient groups worked on specific functions, such as puffiness, lines and wrinkles, and dark circles. The combination of these ingredients provided visible changes to the whole eye and brow area. Continued use increased these positive changes. I definitely recommend this cream to improve and remove changes around the eyes that occur from age, pollution, and the day-to-day stresses.

Lil Leona’s I am Happy Baby Shampoo Is For Babies, Kids and Adults


I love Lil Leona’s I am Happy Baby Shampoo. It has many organic ingredients and none of the harmful chemicals that are present in many bath products. Go and read the ingredient list of the most popular baby shampoo that has been around for over 40 years and you will shudder. Other than water, the rest of the ingredients read like a chemistry textbook. Lil Leona’s I am Happy Baby Shampoo contains healing natural and organic ingredients with no parabens, phosphates or sulfates. Lil Leona’s I am Happy Baby Shampoo works very well as a bubble bath, body wash and shampoo. It leaves the skin and hair soft and smooth. I was very impressed with how well it cleans the hair. Even a small amount quickly lathers into almost a foam. It removes any trace of other hair products, leaving the hair clean, soft and fresh smelling. The scent is a light floral, but does not linger after rinsing. As a bubble bath and body wash it effectively removes dirt and grime, rinses clean and leaves the skin hydrated and soft. I definitely recommend Lil Leona’s I am Happy Baby Shampoo for babies, kids and adults. Get clean without chemicals and you will feel and look your best.

Vita Sciences Joint Right Pain Relieving Cream Helps Keep Pain Under Control


The Vita Sciences Joint Right Pain Relieving Cream is easy to use. Take 2 pumps from the bottle into your palm and massage over the painful area. It absorbs quickly and seems to immediately start loosening the tension around the painful area. There is a slight feeling of warmth. I did notice a reduction in pain that lasted several hours and even after that the pain that remained did not feel as strong. It can be applied up to 6 times per day. It is important to wash the hands right after application so the product is removed from the hands. One of the great things about using this product is that you are not taking prescription pain pills that can be addicting or products with acetaminophen in them that can cause damage to internal organs. I did not experience any side effects while using this cream. One of the active ingredients in this cream is Capsaicin, which is often found in pain patches that are OTC. I have used other products from Vita Sciences and have found them to be of high quality. This is a good product for occasional muscle and joint pain. It can be used in addition to pain pills, if necessary. Overall, I do recommend it to help get that pain under control.

You can purchase this product on Amazon.com.

14 Peaks Copper Elbow Compression Sleeves for Exercise and Health


Compression sleeves are great to support joints during exercise. They are also useful to provide compression to swollen joints or lymphatic swelling. These 14 Peaks Copper Elbow Compression Sleeves do both in comfort. They are easy to put on, pull up easily and are easily removed. They do not tightly bind the arm at all. The elastic band at the top holds the sleeves on and keeps them from sliding during elbow motion. I do recommend that you order the larger size if you are between sizes. While you don't want them so loose that they will fall off, you also do not want the top elastic to be so tight that it restricts lymphatic flow or constricts the arm too much. The copper nylon and spandex sleeve seems to almost add power to the elbow joint, which is very useful during exercise. While it says it can be machine washed I only hand wash compression garments, especially if they have an extra component such as silver or copper. Machine washing can also stretch them out too much. I recommend the 14 Peaks Copper Elbow Compression sleeves for exercise and as a lightweight compression garment for mild lymphatic swelling.
