I got this mat for my daughter so that she can do yoga with mommy now! She has been known to go get a towel out of the linen closet and lay it out as her own little mat. As you can see, she’s pretty happy and couldn’t wait to use it when I showed her what I got for her. I’m kinda kicking myself in the booty that this one was intended for her…she may have to switch mommy…this is a very nice yoga mat and I think my older body needs the cushioning more than hers HAHA! I can’t wait to see what else FiveFourTen will come up with, all of their products have been amazing!https://www.amazon.com/Professional-Quality-Natural-Rubber-Yoga/dp/B01EQ6F3KU/keywords=yoga+mat+rubber+organic+natural+pilates+professional+premium

Hori Hori Garden Knife - Kitclan Landscaping Digging Tool With Stainless Steel Blade, Garden Digging Knife for Gardeners and Campers, with Free Gift Sharpening Whetstone & Saw-chain by Kitclan
I really like this knife. When I received it I immediately started thinking of all the projects this knife would be awesome for. One side of the blade it nice and sharp. The other side of the blade is serrated. Makes it super handy that it has measurements down the front blade. It feels very strong and quality made. Super nice handle too. It is not like those 1.00 dollar store gardening tools. This is one tool of many multi purpose tools. This tool would be super for other things too. Its not just for the garden. I can honestly say this is the best garden tool I have owned and it looks and feels like it will last a lifetime. If I get the cheapy ones to last years there is no way this beauty won’t last for a super long time. Worth every dime. I have already used it as a trowel, a knife, I dug with it, and pulled weeds with deep roots. We have a lot of clay in the dirt in this area and this works well at digging through it. Thrilled with this knife and it comes with two free gifts included with your knife. You get a sharpening whetstone and saw-chain.
Thank you for taking the time to read my review. I hope I gave you a little info, may be a few ideas, and hopefully I didn’t put you to sleep. If the review helped let me know.
I hope you have a Happy Day, Lora

I really like the color combo the towels come in! The bags are mesh and breathable so if the towel is a little damp when you store it the towels can still get the air it needs to dry. These dry in half the time of a traditional cotton towel. Each towel comes with it's own bag, and they both have a snap loop attached to towel which makes it super easy to hook the towel to a backpack or just hang to dry! This product is well thought out and reasonably priced. I would highly recommend it to others.

The one thing I have noticed, is though they recommend just a few drops of essential oil to place in this diffuser, I find that the scent doesn't usually last very long. I find that I like stronger smells and will usually double the amount of essential oils that I place in this diffuser. I have also tried aromatherapy oils with great success.
I also like the lights on this particular model. I have others where the lights are fairly dim, and even though these provide a soft mood-enhancing lighting, I also think they are more vibrant, yet not so bright as to disturb my sleep. Of course, the vibrancy of the lighting is directly impacted by the amount of light already in the room.
The mist that shoots straight up for several inches then swirls at the top is fun. I would caution you to be ware of what it above the diffuser when you turn it on. For instance, I started this in my kitchen after forgetting to add water to my steamed veggies, and burned the pan. I placed this next to the stove and turned it on, but had to quickly move it when I saw the mist reaching up to the underside of my cabinets. There may not have been any worries, but I didn't want to take any chances.
All in all I really like this diffuser. It works great. It shuts off automatically just like it says when the water runs dry. The colored lights are way fun. It's super easy to change out the fragrances and my house smells wonderful.https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01GRL0XMK
I got this specifically for myself for the 4th of July.
The Red, White and Blue Nylon band is beautiful.
The materials used in the making and construction of this watch is impressive.
The clockface is made out of a durable and scratch-resistant mineral crystal.
The watch has a round dial with hour indexes, precise Quartz movement for accurate time keeping and the watch is waterproof.
I fell in love with the overall appearance of this watch.
Sure, it can be a mens watch but It's so beautiful and sleek that it can also be a womens watch as well.
The gold frame around the face of the clock is very delicate and refined.
It doesn't have that ticking seconds hand, which makes this elegant and beautiful.
I know some people who can't stand watches that don't number the dial.
But I think they are so gorgeous.
I see those types of watches being more for style and fashion than telling time, to be completely frank.
Who wants an ugly watch on their wrist? lol
This watch is beyond the definition of beautiful.
It's gorgeous design really blew me away.
It's not too big where it becomes clunky and it's not too small, either.
It's the perfect size for a perfect watch.
5/5https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01GDQ1T7M/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1466149891&sr=8-1&keywords=wrist+watch
PROS:
-VERY BRIGHT for it's size (about the same as a single 60 watt bulb motion light)
-compact size
-I like the angled solar panel on the top and angled LED light facing down. Perfect design
-Quiet simple operation just turn "on" and it's set.
-nice quality unit and materials
-on/off button makes a positive click sound and feel
-no wires easy installation! Love the solar charging part.
CONS:
-the auto sensing feature isn't something I find useful on a sensor light but some may find it helpful
-mounting screws it came with are a bit weak however the unit is very light so they work (i used them)
-the light it put's out is blinding bright and more focused then say a (bulbed motion light)
-blue tint to the LED light it put out. I tried to capture that in the pictures
-instructions are poorly translated but get the point across
Let me tell you that I would buy 5 more of these to put around the property because they work great! Perfect for a security lights in dark areas around your house. They will deter a thief to keep moving forward after being beamed with this thing. I took a bunch of pictures of it mounted on my barn where an old motion light used to be. Seemed like a fitting place to put it. I received this product at a discount in exchange for making an honest review. Hope my review helps you decide. cheers!https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01GC8G4TE
These battery packs are so tiny that I have been able to velcro them to a wider part of the inside wheel of the wheelchair. They do not get in the way. Each takes two small nickel-sized batteries that you can find in the watch department of the big box stores.
I love how they look. I have gotten a ton of compliments, either in the form of people asking me if I'm the one who put the lights on my chair to general "hey, I love your lights!" to people pointing out, "look at the lights on the wheelchair." For someone who is still on the youngish side who's in a wheelchair, it's nice to hear people pointing out the lights on my chair instead of just pointing (hey, it happens).
This was particularly nice this time of year at an event where it's nothing but lights all around the city, so I looked like I was part of it.
I actually intend to keep them on all year for safety purposes, as I have the spare batteries for these. I have already had these on for longer than 30 hours (not consecutively) and the lights have not even dimmed. I know one reviewer said that because you had to unscrew the battery pack to access and change them that these are essentially 'throw away' lights but I don't think they are at all. For me, I had a very specific purpose and for that purpose, these lights ROCK.
I like that they're copper wire. As the wire approaches the battery pack, it's covered in pliable plastic, probably so that the lights don't break with constant bending. It did take some time for me to weave them between my wheelchair spokes, but once they're on, they're set. And for others who want to trick out a chair, they do not get in the way when I roll myself around. I thought I might end up knocking the wire or accidentally grabbing it and not really knowing since I use these wonderful gloves Weight Lifting Gloves with Premium Leather Palm and Adjustable Wrist Support. Ideal for Crossfit, Gym, Fitness and your daily Workout! (Medium). I thought that if I grabbed the copper wire by accident, I would not feel them with these gloves on, but I have no problems with the lights being in my way. They're pliable, but I would not want to bend them back and forth repeatedly. They hold their shape nicely.
I bought these at a discount in exchange for my honest review. I hope you can see from the final shot in my wheelchair that they look really cool. If, for any reason, these fail, I will update my review.http://www.amazon.com/dp/B014QNPM18

As far as installation, the seat top has a velcro seam that open for the headrest. There are 6 elastic straps with metal hooks (front, side, and between seat & seat back) and if there is no space under your seat to fish a strap through or you can't get anything between your seat back and the seat these won't work for you.
I'm glad I bought these and they really do a lot to make your car look nice. The big plus of sheepskin is the fact that it feels cool in summer sun and warm on cold mornings.http://amzn.to/1UlLEDb #Leaderaccessories

To me the "sheepskin" doesn't look or feel like it's real. It feels like it's several pieces of faux fur sewn together. There are gaps between the pieces where you see the stitching very clearly. I tried to fluff it to cover these gaps and they are still visible. The fur on each of the pieces go different directions too so it doesn't look like a solid cover. I installed it in my 2015 Honda Pilot and the cover goes down the middle of the seat and there are 3-4 inches on each side that are covered. It fit to the end of the seat and moves a bit when getting in and out of the car. The headrest cover is snug but fits. Everything went on pretty easily despite no directions. It's been comfortable so far and I haven't had any issues with them. It looks OK on the seat but it could look better if it blended better together. http://amzn.to/1U8CC09 #Leadeaccessories
UPdate 4/6-> When watering my roses tonight, I noticed that there were 3 leaks in the hose. I dont know how they got there as for the only thing I use it for is watering roses at night (it is put away from animals when not in use). I noticed a dampness on the hose last week but thought it was from the ground. Then tonight I found the two holes. Im trying to figure out how to repair it since it expands and contracts. Im still giving it 3 stars because its still functional and just a small leak.
With spring right around the corner and it already being in the 80s here in Texas, we are ahead of our game this year with planting all our vegetables and sodding our new yard. I have in the past used nothing but the traditional garden hoses that you can buy at Walmart. The problem with those is that they kink up bad and then you use them the water comes out in squirts cause it has sharp kinks in it. I was so happy when I was offered to review the Expandable Garden Hose that is 50ft by RY.
When you get this hose, it comes in a box that clearly states what it is. Taking it out of the box was easy and no instructions were needed even though they were provided. The hose is 50ft fully expanded (you can watch video provided at end of post).
Going into some of the important details-On each end of the hose are brass ends so its not going to rust or break off the way others might. An 8 mode hose attachment is provided. The 8 modes are cone, flat, soaker, stream, full, angle, shower, and mist. The handle does not have a on/off switch but if you want to take off the handle while water is going that it easy enough! Unlike other hoses I have seen and used in the past, this one has an on/off switch on the brass part of the attachment on the hose. This means that once you flip that switch, you can easily take off the sprayer part of it without getting soaked! http://www.amazon.com/Expandable-RY-Gardener-Stronger-Reliable/dp/B016P008V4/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8 #RY_GARDENER

These lights are amazing for outdoor and indoor decorations for holidays and parties. Their lights are small and they produce a bright and warm white color light. The design of these lights is very nice. They are gorgeous and I enjoy using them so much for my living room decoration.
In addition, I love that it comes with a remote control and I can change the brightness level, speed and modes. It is so easy to turn it off/on with remote control. Overall, I am so satisfied with my order and I 100% recommend these beautiful lights to anyone who wants to create a magical romantic decoration.

There is one flaw I found in this product and thus I removed 1 star. The tip of the corkscrew is not sharp like others I have purchased, it is more flat and appears to be a molding error. You can see this in my pictures. I will have to grind this down a little to make cork removal an easier process.
**UPDATE** Once my original review was posted, I was contacted by Smooth Dragon via email and since the piece I received had a flaw with the cork screw piece, they send me another one at no charge which has a perfectly sharp cork screw tip and glides easily through a cork. Smooth Dragon obviously takes pride in their product and their customers happiness and are willing to correct this to make sure the customer is happy. Because of this, I changed my review from 4 stars to 5 stars.
Nothing worse than being at a party of friends enjoying a nice night outside...than having to spray yourself with repellant that stinks and leaves your skin all wet and shiny.
This pack is a great solution.
I gave it a 4 star because overall the patches worked great. Adults will need 2 patches to really protect yourself . I like to put by my lower leg ankle area. Seems that's where I get bit the most.
My kids I was able to use one patch. You scratch the tissue of the patvh..remove the card backing and just apply. I didn't notice any reaction to my very sensitive skin...or the kids.
Essentials oils are the new way to go...no more chemicals. Go all natural. I bought this product at a discounted price for my honest and unbiased review.
Like yourself...I read reviews before I buy products..and this is a great alternative to chemical based and stinky repellents.

My primary concern with any blood pressure measuring device is that it be accurate. Convenience is nice, but if it's inaccurate then it's not very useful, and could even be dangerous if relied upon.
I was convinced to try this wrist monitor. I had been put off non-armcuff models after having tried the older Omron finger blood pressure monitor (as described above). While convenience isn't paramount to me, I wanted something that was less obtrusive and less noisy that I could use at work; but again, only if it were accurate.
The device is well made and convenient to use. It makes some noise, but nothing too crazy. Very accurate and these are some tips that help me to have great accuracy.
* Sit upright without straining. Try not to slouch too much or sit bolt upright.
* Keep your feet on the floor not on the footstool.
* Don't take your blood pressure reading after eating, smoking, or drinking alcohol. Wait at least 30-45 minutes.
* Don't talk while you're taking your blood pressure; it drives it up.
* Don't hold your breath or breath shallowly while taking your blood pressure thinking that if you stay completely still you'd get a better reading. Holding your breath or breathing very shallowly will deprive your blood of some oxygen and trigger the brain's response to increase your heart rate and thus, your blood pressure. You can breath regularly without negatively affecting your blood pressure.
* If you decide to buy a cuff-type monitor make sure that the cuff is around your heart level, too. If it's lower the blood pressure readings will be slightly elevated, and if it's too high the readings will be slightly too low. This advice is not meant to be taken too rigidly. Just don't have the cuff at head level or around your waist and you'll be fine.
* Don't walk around and then sit down and then immediately take your blood pressure. Wait a while for your body to acclimate to sitting and then take the reading.http://www.amazon.com/Easy-Home-Digital-Pressure-Function/dp/B00WTIDY8Q/ref=sr_1_31_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1462382636&sr=8-31&keywords=wrist+blood+pressure+monitor

I hope that I will never need to use this 2-pack Car Hammer Auto Safety Seatbelt Cutter Glass Window Punch Breaker Emergency Kit Rescue Disaster Escape Tool Must-Have Life Saving Survival Kit Seat Belt but I do believe on being prepared for any situation whenever possible. I like that this product comes in a two pack, so I can keep one car hammer in the car and the other in the house for emergencies. I have not broken any windows in order to test this, nor have I cut my seat belts with it, but it does appear to be of good quality. It seems very sturdy and is not wobbly. I like that the seat belt cutting blade is not exposed, making it safer to have around. I have been trapped in a seat belt before, and although I was not in a life threatening situation at he time, it was still scary not being able to free myself. I was not able to get out of the seat belt on my own, and needed assistance. I think about this from time to time when the roads are bad. Just having this in the car provides a bit of reassurance, and although I hope to never have to use it, I feel better just knowing it is there. Although I was offered this product at a discount or received a complimentary sample in exchange for my fair and honest review, all thoughts and opinions on the products I review are always my own and have not been influenced by any discounts or samples which may have been provided to me for testing purposes. Questions and comments are welcomed.http://www.amazon.com/dp/B01DCFYA8W

I tested the goggles on my daily ocean and pool swims for one week. I am pleased with the results.
The goggles are exactly as depicted in the sales promo. The thick polycarbonate protective lenses are anti-fog and UV protected, with a light reflective olive tint. Visibility is clear and unimpeded.The soft silicone gasket created a waterproof seal while fitting comfortably around my face. The sturdy strap stretches comfortably, is easy to adjust at the buckles on the side.
The set includes user instructions and a stylish hard plastic protective case with drainage holes at each end; to unlock the case simply twist the front tip (with a hole) anti-clockwise.
In my opinion, the Aegend Racing Swimming Goggles, have been, so far, one the best that I have tried. I plan to purchase a few more for my family. I really like the goggles. Value priced and affordable.
I update and revise reviews if I discover defects or problems after using the product for a while.
I purchased this item with a discount coupon. It did not influence my opinion or rating. I have no obligation to write a review. This is not a barter deal. I have no financial or personal connection with the manufacturer, seller or their employees.http://www.amazon.com/dp/B01EL9TYMU
RIM Sports Weightlifting Gloves are tailored to a woman’s smaller hand. Since I have very small hands, I ordered the extra small size of the RIM Sports Weightlifting Gloves. The RIM Sports Weightlifting Gloves fit and form to my hands perfectly, not too small and definitely not too large like the extra small in the men’s gloves. RIM Sports Weightlifting Gloves are really true to size.
I ordered the RIM Sports Weightlifting Gloves in the color of Turquoise. The color on Amazon looks a bit different than the gloves I received. The color is somewhere between the Turquoise and the Blue colors. The black is a true dark black color. The contrast between the color and the black is still nice making this a good-looking glove. The color is still acceptable but if you purchase the RIM Sports Weightlifting Gloves, expect a possible slight difference than pictured on the internet.
The RIM Sports Weightlifting Gloves are made of 100% leather and spandex and feel like they are made of quality material. There are nice Velcro wraps on the wrist for support of your wrist. The padding is not excessive, just enough to protect your hands and still feel comfortable while still being very flexible so you are able to grip properly and not slip.
Workout gloves are a personal choice and can be difficult for woman with small hands to find. I am happy to have found RIM Sports Weightlifting Gloves, as they are perfect for the petite-handed woman. These are a great glove that performs and protects. Although the color is not true to the picture on Amazon, I still love the color and contrast between the blue and black colors. The RIM Sports Weightlifting Gloves have just enough padding and protect my hands and wrists, which is why I purchased these gloves.
The RIM Sports Weightlifting Gloves are a nice looking and great fitting women’s weightlifting glove that perform the function that I purchased them for, I will be giving RIM Sports Weightlifting Gloves a five star review. The RIM Sports Weightlifting Gloves are a nice quality, great protection and a good value for the price. If you are a woman that has difficulty finding a weightlifting glove that fits your smaller hands, I recommend the RIM Sports Weightlifting Gloves as they fit like a glove (no pun intended). http://amzn-re.direct/Gloves

http://www.amazon.com/dp/B01EN3ZHOI This 2 pack of Waterproof Pouches by Treecoo are a great idea to protect your devices and valuables from water, dirt, and dust. The pouches are 8.5"x 6.2" and are made of a durable, soft pvc material (I compare it to the material of an inflatable intertube). The pouches have strong zip locks that creates a secure closure making them 100% waterproof. They are large enough to fit most devices, along with other valuables depending on the size of your device. The pouches not only protect from water, dirt, and dust; they can even protect your devices and documents from water vapor damage as well. There is an extra long, adjustable waist belt so the pouch can fit comfortably around your waist while you're on the go. There are two different colors of pouches in this set. One is blue and is somewhat transparent and a black one that isn't transparent at all. The blue pouch allows you the option of using your device while it's inside the bag. I personally put my phone in the pouch and tried this feature out. After doing so, I found that the touchscreen was very responsive through the pouch and when my screen brightness was turned up high enough I could easily scroll through my phone and was able to read it really well. The purpose behind the black pouch is to give you a way to protect your personal privacy. I put my phone in the black one as well and I could not see anything through it at all. I really like the idea behind these pouches and how well the idea was executed. The pouches feel sturdy and durable. I was impressed with how well the pouches are sealed. Once the zip locks are closed, you have to roll the top part down and then secure it with a Velcro closure. I think the company did a really good job at taking extra steps to make sure they are completely sealed. Overall, I think these pouches are well made and are a great way to protect your devices and valuables while you're outdoors! I would definitely recommend to others who are looking for a waterproof pouch. I received these products for free inexchange for a review, but all opinions are completely my own.
