Parchment Paper for Baking and Healthy Cooking and recipes Ebook

The Parchment Paper for Baking and Healthy Cooking and recipes Ebook. Non stick. Thick carton box. Sharp cutter. 15 inch width and 393 inch long. Booklik “EasyRoll” is better than the parchment paper I have been using. The paper I have been using is really hard to cut once you pull it from the box. When I would try to pull it off to cut it I would get a mess of an edge. With this parchment paper I don't have that trouble. It has a nice sharp cutter that does a great job when I pull it. Not that the edge matters so much as to how pretty it is but I feel like when it makes a mess I end up wasting a bit of the paper.
At 15 inches this paper is nice and wide. It works with all of my pans.
With the parchment paper I don't need to use so much cooking spray. I like to think that this makes it healthier too.
I used to use paper shopping bags to put my cookies on when they come our of the oven. Now that I don't get as many paper bags, I rely more on parchment paper. This parchment works comparable to the others I have used for pulling out some of the grease.

Fun Central AT997 Newton's Cradle Physics Science Kit

I got the Fun Central AT997 Newton's Cradle Physics Science Kit because when I was a kid my aunt had one of these and I loved playing with it. I was excited for it to come. I wanted to get it to plat with myself and to show my grandkids. When it came I was a little disappointed that it was so small but after putting it together and seeing that it still works well, I am happy. It is my own fault for not reading the product description better to know the size. The nice thing is, it doesn't take up as much space.
The item is mostly plastic. I believe the balls are metal though. I feel like the plastic will stand up though.
It put together very well. As you can see in the video, You just pull it out of the box, take the plastic apart and put the 2 pieces into the base. Then it is ready to go! I was glad not to have a tangled mess.
The balls swing like they should and keep going for a while. It is a lot of fun playing with them. You can swing as many as you want and watch them go back and forth. I don't sit and think too much about the science/physics part of it. I just like to watch them.
I would recommend this for kids about kindergarten age through adult. These are a lot of fun.

Car Sun Shade for Side Window - Car Sunshade Protector - Protect your kids and pets in the back seat from sun glare and heat. Blocks over 97% of harmful UV Rays - Easy to Install - NO suction cups needed LIFETIME WARRANTY

The Car Sun Shade for Side Window - Car Sunshade Protector - Protect your kids and pets in the back seat from sun glare and heat. Blocks over 97% of harmful UV Rays - Easy to Install - NO suction cups needed LIFETIME WARRANTY is different than any of the others I have seen.  The ones I have had in the past have had suction cups.  This one doesn't.  There is like a rubbery plastic side that sticks to the window. It is kind of like the window clings they sell at Christmas time to decorate your windows.  You just put it on the window and it sticks.
I like that it folds up nicely into a little package.  I did not have any trouble folding it up but I have used things that fold up like that in the past.
This doesn't cover the whole window but it does a good job of blocking the sun if you place it correctly.  In the back of my minivan there are not shades for the windows.  The windows are slightly tinted but I wanted something to really filter the direct sun.  This works well for that.
I would say that if you need something to put on the window to block where the sun is I would recommend this.

Giraffe Neck Pillow/Stuffed Animal Travel Pal by Satellas Perfect Travel Pillow for Any Age - Converts from Neck Pillow to Stuffed Animal

The Giraffe Neck Pillow/Stuffed Animal Travel Pal by Satellas Perfect Travel Pillow for Any Age - Converts from Neck Pillow to Stuffed Animal is a really cute idea. I got it to use for myself and for my grandchildren.
When it it a neck pillow it looks totally normal. You would never know it unfolds into something else. This makes it great for an adult or a child.
I will say that when I got it I noticed it had a bit of an odor but after it aired out for a while the odor went away. Not that the smell was horrible but if you are sensitive to odors be sure to allow time for it to air out.
When it is a giraffe the ears, tail and horns area stiff felt. I am not sure how those parts will hold up.
I found that it goes fairly smoothly back and forth between the pillow and the giraffe. It would be too difficult for a child to do though. The pellets need to be moved around. When I unzipped it I pulled the giraffe out and then had to shake it a bit to get the pellets in the animal so I could tuck the pillow part in so I could zip it. Then I had to do the same to get it back to a pillow. My grandkids were not able to do it.
I have not done it yet but it seems that if I wanted to I could tuck a few things into the zipper pocket if you wanted too. They would have to be small but little treats for the trip would work.
This is a very cute item and I would recommend it if you want a pillow for the trip. Whether it is a neck pillow or just an animal pillow, you should like it.

The Best Meal Prep Containers Set- Bento Lunch Boxes/ Restaurant Food Storage- Portion Control-7pk,36oz are really handy. I find they have many uses other than for food. Here are my thoughts on them: They are dishwasher safe which is a must for me. If I have to hand wash something it does to goodwill. After a few washings they still look good. In some of the reviews they talk about the lid cracking but I have not had trouble with that. I can imagine that if I loosened it and then just pulled it back, then it might crack. I just loosen a corner and then run my finger around until it is all loose. This has worked great for me with no cracks. I have put food in it to bring to work with me, snacks for my daughter and when I had to bring some sewing supplies to a friend, I used this. I put it in a drawer for office supplies. I also like it for putting lettuce in the large compartment, croutons in a small one and crackers or bacon bits in the other. This way they stay crispy and not all soggy. I have not used it in the microwave so I cannot really say how well it holds up with that. I have used it in a freezer and that worked well. Everything seems to stay in its own compartment. I was worried but the way the lid is it fits into each compartment. I would recommend this product. Just treat it with care and don't expect to just pull the lid off like it was tupperware.

Wine Opener, Raffite Stainless Steel Red Wine Beer Bottle Opener Wing Corkscrew

The Wine Opener, Raffite Stainless Steel Red Wine Beer Bottle Opener Wing Corkscrew broke the first time I used it.  I don't give something a low rating lightly but I did not even get to use it once.  I had a very cheap corkscrew that I used the last time my daughter was over and we were opening a bottle of wine.  It broke and we had an awful time getting the cork out.  So I needed a new one.  I saw this owe and thought it looked really nice. Well, when it came I still thought it looked really nice but then since I got it as a review item I was taping how it worked the first time we tried to open a bottle of wine.  Well, it broke.  You can see it on the video (it might take a few days for it to come up on here.).  So once a gain we were stuck trying to get the cork out with a screw stuck in it.  I guess we are not meant to drink wine.  I have not yet contacted the seller and will update when I have more information. At this time I cannot recommend this item.

Perfectday 3 Pack No Show Socks Cotton Socks

I got the Perfectday 3 Pack No Show Socks Cotton Socks for myself.  They are men's socks butI still wanted them as a women.  I was wanting black no shows when I saw these.   I wear a women's size 10 and they fit well.  They stretch plenty.  They come nice and low on the ankle.

The material is thinner than I expected.  That actually is ok with me though.  I hate wearing shoes without socks.  I have shoes that I never wear because they feel icky to me without socks.  Since these are thin they fit in these shoes well without making them too tight.

They don't have any cushioning so I would not wear them when I am going to be on my feet a lot.
 
The grippy strips on the heels help to keep the socks from slipping down into my shoe.  This is nice so that the elastic doesn't have to be so tight around the top.

A problem for me is that these are not supposed to go in the dryer.  I know myself too well.  I will end up with them in the dryer.  For now I am putting them into a mesh wash bag when I take them off so I won't forget.  I have it hanging in my closet to throw small items in.

Galaxy S6 Edge Ultra Hybrid Case Crystal Clear

The Galaxy S6 Edge Ultra Hybrid Case Crystal Clear is different than I though it was going to be.  I don't know why but I thought it was going to be a really hard plastic but instead it is a little bit soft, not totally flexible but a little bit.  I actually like this better since it gives it some grippiness.  I don't like my phone cases to be slippery.  This clear case is a bit different than my other cases.  It is very clear so  you can totally see the phone.

There is a protective film for the back that is included.  This film went on the back of my phone to protect it from the little bits that get in between the case and my phone.  This is nice because I was surprised that something did indeed get in there.  I would imagine my other cases let stuff in too but I just don't see it because they are not clear.

I was not planning on trying it out this way but I did drop it by mistake.  It fell onto my wood floor and it did not break.  Whew!  I cannot tell that the case cracked at all either.
The case fit very well.  The cut outs are in the proper spots to make it easy to use.  The buttons work well too.

I would recommend this to anyone looking for a clear case for their Galaxy 6S Edge phone.  It works well and protected my phone when I dropped it.

dB9PRO Best Spy Voice Recorder With USB [Gold] - 8GB / 96 Hrs Capacity Digital Recorder - Secret Audio Recording Equipment With 2 Lanyards and E-book

The dB9PRO Best Spy Voice Recorder With USB [Gold] - 8GB / 96 Hrs Capacity Digital Recorder - Secret Audio Recording Equipment With 2 Lanyards and E-book really works.  I have never used something like this before but I thought I would try it.  I had a class I had to go to for work and I have trouble keeping up with notes sometimes.  I took the recorder with me and then recorded the class.  I could hear it well.  Now, I was sitting in the front since that is where I like to sit so I cannot say how it would work in the back.  I could then listen to the class and get what I missed.  I also played around with it at home to figure out how it works.  I recorded the kids playing and I could hear them from across the room.  I tried when they were all talking at once too and I had trouble hearing them that way.
This also works as a flash drive.  I was not aware of that but it is a nice bonus.
The recorder kept the battery charge well.  I did not have to recharge it at all in the class.
It doesn't begin recording as soon as you push it.  It waits a little less than 10 seconds.
If you go through the instructions you should be happy with this.  It actually makes me a bit uneasy thinking that someone could be recording me and I won't even know it.

4-Outlet Surge Protector Power Strip Portable Outlets with 4 USB Charging Ports for Home Office and Travel, 6ft Cord with 3 International Adaptors

The 4-Outlet Surge Protector Power Strip Portable Outlets with 4 USB Charging Ports for Home Office and Travel, 6ft Cord with 3 International Adaptors is better than I expected.  When I ordered it I thought it was a little thing but it is a regular size one.  I am very happy with that.
I needed a surge protector to plug my laptop in.  I have been using a regular power strip and it was making me nervous.  Now I can relax a little when there are storms or strong wind.
This comes with 4 outlets and 4 USBs.  I have many cords that are USB and now I can plug those right in there too.  I have not had that option before.  Now my phone and kindle plug in right next to my laptop.  They are all protected.
The cord is long enough on here that I don't have to crawl under the desk to plug my devices into it.  My power strip I was using was short and what a pain.  This is so much better.  I feel spoiled now being able to stand up and plug it in.
The outlets on the strip are well spaced so you really can plug in 4 devices.  I hate when you cannot put two devices next to eachother.
I thought it was kind of cool that there are seperate power buttons for the outlets and the USBs.  I am not totally sure why but if I don't use one type I can turn it off.
This also comes with 3 adapters so if you travel internationally you can still plug in your devices.  We might be going to Mexico this year and I am not sure what outlets they have there but I will be prepared.
All in all I love this surge protector!  I might be buying more of them for other rooms.

Natural Flavored Cooking Salt From the Dead Sea From Aromasong (Garlic small jar)

The Natural Flavored Cooking Salt From the Dead Sea From Aromasong (Garlic small jar) is an interesting product.  I was expecting it to be more like the garlic salt you buy but this is much fancier than that.  It is a course salt with pieces of dried garlic in it.  I found it was better for cooking than for putting in a grinder and putting it on the table.  This is because I you don't always get the same ammount of garlic when grinding.  When I cooked with it that was ok becasuse I was grinding more of it.  I used it on garlic bread first and found the bites were inconsistant on the garlic part.  Then I tried putting it in my grean beans and they tasted great.  It was a nice salt taste and a slight garlic on the beans.  I also put it in my noodles when I was making a lo mein and this worked well too.
I think this would be a neat addition to a kitchen gift basket.  It looks fancy and fun.

Deluxe SM-110 Two Way Display Finger Pulse Oximeter with Carry Case and Neck/Wrist Cord

The Deluxe SM-110 Two Way Display Finger Pulse Oximeter with Carry Case and Neck/Wrist Cord is a good product.  I have a few Pulse Oximeters that I could compare this too for acuracy and they all read the same so I believe this to me accurate.  I took it to the doctors office with me too and it read the same as theirs.  I have given these type of oximeters to my mother and mother in law since they both have issues with their lungs and hearts.  This is why I have others to compare to.
This comes with batteries.  That is always a plus for me.  You have to put them in yourself and that can be a little tricky but not a real problem for me.  If you are sending it straight to an elderly person you might see if they can have someone put the batteries in for them.
The case is nice to keep it in so that it doesnt get damaged or lost.
The display is easy to read.  You just push the button to turn it on and then pinch it to put it on the finger.  I have tried it on various size fingers from my 3 year old grandson to an elderly woman to my big fingered husband and it worked well on all of those.
This is a nice product and I would recommend it if you have someone in your life that has trouble with their lungs or heart.

Risk Free and FDA Approved - Freezer, Oven and Microwave Safe - Silicone Baby Food Container with Secure Container Lid Included - BPA Free Food Grade

The Risk Free and FDA Approved - Freezer, Oven and Microwave Safe - Silicone Baby Food Container with Secure Container Lid Included - BPA Free Food Grade is good for much more than baby food. I love these silicone things for freezing things.
Now that there are usually only two of us at home I like to make sauces and other stuff and freeze it in smaller ammounts so we don't waste so much.  Each of these pods holds about 1/4 cup.I have frozen mashed potatoes, sweet and sour sauce, gravy, fruit cup stuff, twice baked potato mix and some other things I cannot remember.  All of these worked very well.  After they were frozen I popped them right out and put them in a freezer bag so that I could reuse the silicone container.
I love that this has a lid!  In the past I have used silicone ice trays but this is much better.  I can put it in the freezer and still stack stuff on top of it.  I also do not worry that it will spill before it freezes.  I have had that before and it is not a easy clean up.
My daughter likes to use this to put stuff in for smoothies.  She will freeze yogurt, fruit, juices and what ever else.  Then when we go to make our smoothies we can just decide what to put in according to our mood for the day.  We just grap what we want out of the freezer bag and throw it in the nutribullet.
If you like to freeze food in smaller ammounts this is the thing for you.

Daffodil LEC006Y - 6 Yellow LED Tealights - Flameless Candles with Holders

The Daffodil LEC006Y - 6 Yellow LED Tealights - Flameless Candles with Holders were a little different than I thought but they are still neat.  Here is what I found about them.
One of the reasons I got them is to take to hotels.  You are not supposed to light candles there but I like to have a little romance lighting.  Last week when we went out for a Valentines weekend these worked great!  They give just the right amount of lighting like a canle does.  They give a yellow light and I would prefer a white light but that is ony preference.
The batteries are included so they are ready to go. Ihate when I need to go and find batteries.
These are also safe to us at a family when the grandkids are over.  I alwaysworry about someone getting burned.  Now Idon't need to.
You can put these in another votive holder that is not very see through to hide the fake looking flame.
There is also a "blow out" feature.  It worked most of the time.
I would recommend theseif you are looking for some mood lighting.

SIMIEN Tennis Elbow Brace (2-count) - Pain Relief for Tennis & Golfer's Elbow - Best Forearm Brace & Elbow Support with Compression Pad - One Size Fits Most - Bonus Wrist Sweatband & E-Book

The SIMIEN Tennis Elbow Brace (2-count) - Pain Relief for Tennis & Golfer's Elbow - Best Forearm Brace & Elbow Support with Compression Pad - One Size Fits Most - Bonus Wrist Sweatband & E-Book was purchased for my husband to use.  He has trouble with pain while driving the tractor and also some trouble doing things at home.  In the past he has used a tennis elbow brace that he received from the doctor's office.  It was an air pad one but the air kind of deflated after a while.  He really didn't like it anyways since it was a bit scratchy.  Now, I got 2 different ones to try and I find both of them about the same.  Here are my thoughts on this one.
It fits very well.  You can adjust if from both sides with the velcro straps which made it easy for him to get to the right fit.
The gel pad seems rather nice.  It is so much better than the air one we had before.  The gel should not leak and I believe it will last a nice long time.
The instructions are on the box if you did not get any instructions from a doctor. Play around with the placement until you get it right.
I washed it in the washer in a mesh bag made for small or delicate items.  This worked well and I hung it on a towel rack to dry.  Since there are 2 of them you can even use one while one is washed.
My husband keeps one of these in the tractor so that if he forgets it he still has one to put on when he needs it.
This one worked as well as or better than the air one that the doctor gave him so give it a try.

4-Pack LINKYO Gold & Silver Chalk Ink Marker Pens - Erasable Artist-Quality Drawing Ink - Glass, Bistro, Windows, Whiteboard, Expo Meetings

Before I got the 4-Pack LINKYO Gold & Silver Chalk Ink Marker Pens - Erasable Artist-Quality Drawing Ink - Glass, Bistro, Windows, Whiteboard, Expo Meetings I did not even know they made theese in gold and silver!!  This is so cool!
I work at a hotel and sometimes we make signs for an event going on in the party room or just for a greeting as then enter the lobby.  We have lots of other colors but did not have any gold or silver.  We played around with them a bit and we found that they will work great for what we need.
We tried them on a white board and a black board.  We also tried it on a little chalkboard sign.  Oops.  I forgot that chalk markers are not chalk and you do NOT want to use them on a chalkboard.  Lesson learned.  It does say this in the directions and I knew it but forgot.  (I would like to say it is my chemo brain but I think it is just forgetfulness lol) Anyways, they worked very well as expected on the regular boards.  These will be great when we have someone come in celebrating and 25th or 50th anniversary or birthday.  The colors are perfect.
The tips are reversable from chisel to bullet tip.  Since there are 2 of each color I suggest doing what I did and make one of each for each color.  That way you don't have to get your fingers messed up switching them around.
The markers clean up well off of the board when you want to change the message.
These are just as expected in a couple of colors I did not know existed.  I recommend trying the gold and silver to add a special touch to your project.

Crochet Hooks Classy Catz Ergonomic. Padded TPR Soft Handle. Break Resistant Aluminum Hook Sizes 2 to 6 mm. Small, Grey Canvas Oganizer/travel case. 21 piece accessories. Lifetime guarantee

The Crochet Hooks Classy Catz Ergonomic. Padded TPR Soft Handle. Break Resistant Aluminum Hook Sizes 2 to 6 mm. Small, Grey Canvas Oganizer/travel case. 21 piece accessories. Lifetime guarantee. is a decent set.  I have never had a whole set before so this is really cool for me.
For starters it has lots of choices for hook sizes.  I won't need to go to the store to find the size I want like I have done in the past.
The metal part of the hook is not totally smooth but it doesn't snag for me either.  It isn't exactly bumpy but it is hard to describe.  I don't see this as a problem for me but if you want it to be totally smooth, it isn't.
The colored part of the hook is the best part for me!  I have neuropathy due to chemo and I have a hard time hanging onto things.  I drop my hooks a lot.  These handles (may be silicone) are nice and grippy.  They are thicker also so I have more to hold onto and it isn't slipery.  No more dropping my hooks.  The first time I used them my hands did not feel sore from gripping the hook so hard to not drop it.
This set also includes a little scissors.  When I got the set I did not know what that black thing was that was in the pictures.  It is a scissors that has a cover to keep it from poking.  I would love to have another one of these to put in my purse.  It would be really handy for when you have a thread hanging on your clothes or to cut a coupon or something.
I also like having the hooks in a case. The case is attractive and made of like a canvas material.  The hooks fit in their slots nice and thightly.  Now, if I can put them away when I am finished I should always know where they are.  I have found that a hook can hide really well so the case should help.
It also came with some plastic pin markers.  I don't really use those so I can't say much about how they work.
I made a scarf with these and I had no trouble with them snagging and without droppping them often.  For this reason I would recommend this set.

Premium Easy Grip Jar Opener Fits Most Jar Sizes Supporting Those with Limited Hand Movement with Extra Leverage for Easy Opening

The Premium Easy Grip Jar Opener Fits Most Jar Sizes Supporting Those with Limited Hand Movement with Extra Leverage for Easy Opening works pretty well.
I have neuropathy from chemo and have trouble sometimes gripping things, especially first thing in the morning. I like to have some diet cola first thing in the morning too.  Well, if the soda bottle has not been opened before, it can be very difficult for me to open it in the morning.  I have a different jare opener but it doesn't have a way to do small lids.  This one does!  It actually have 4 different size spots to figure out which will work for the lids you have.
This is made of plastic and silicone.  The silicone isn't as grippy as I would like it to be but it does work.  I just find it can slip a little.
This allows you to get a good grip and get some leverage to open your jar.
If lays nice and flat so it fits in my drawer really well.
If you want a jar oppener that will do various sizes and work pretty well, this one should work for you.

Travel Shoe Bags 16"x12" w/ Drawstring (Black) (4-Pack) Soft Nylon Shoe Tote Bags

The Travel Shoe Bags 16"x12" w/ Drawstring (Black) (4-Pack) Soft Nylon Shoe Tote Bags, suitcase dress travel are a nice set.  You can use these for other things too.
As for the shoe bags, I was using shower caps for my shoes before this.  I will say that these work much better.
Since it comes in a pack of 4 there are plenty for my shoes. I usually don't need more than 2 pairs of shoes when I travel.
I wear and size 10 1/2 women's shoe and these fit with plenty of room.
I washed them before I used them so that if there would be no bleeding of dye on my clothes if my shoes were at all wet.  It was just a precaution I took. I don't know if it was necessary.  I washed them in the washer and hung them to dry.  they looked great when I was done so if you need to wash them don't be afraid.  There were not any loose threads when I was finished either.  Everything seemed to be sewn well.
The material is a silky type fabric.  It doesn't matter that much to me but they do look nice.
As for the extra bags.  I use them for dirty undergarments.  I really don't like them floating around in my suitcase with my other clothes so this works well.  There are plenty of other things you could put in them too.  If I had these when I was raiding my children I would put a clean set of clothes in a bag for each child and keep it in the van.  You never know when you need them and this was they would have stayed in one place.
It is a nice product if you are looking for something like this.

2-Pack Tennis Elbow Brace with Compression Pad by PlayActive Sports - Best Tennis & Golfer's Elbow Strap Band - Relieves Tendonitis and Forearm Pain - Includes Two Elbow Support Braces and E-Guide

I got the 2-Pack Tennis Elbow Brace with Compression Pad by PlayActive Sports - Best Tennis & Golfer's Elbow Strap Band - Relieves Tendonitis and Forearm Pain - Includes Two Elbow Support Braces and E-Guide for my husband who has trouble with tennis elbow when he is driving the tractor.  It bothers him other times too. The doctor gave him a air pad thing that he never really liked that much so I thought I would try this one.  He has said that it feels better and that it has given as much relief as the one that the doctor gave him.  Here are some of the things I noticed.
It is hand washable.  The one he had was not very washable.  This one washes up pretty well.  And since it is a two pack there is another one to wear while one dries.
Since it is a two pack he also has one to keep in the tractor and one in the house.  He never remembers to put it on in the morning so having the extra in the tractor is great.
There were not instructions in the box but we knew how to use it because of the doctor's instructions.
There is velcro straps on both sides of the pad so it is easier to adjust to the right fit depending on it being on the right or left side.
The pad is a gel rather than air like the one we had before.  The air one got where it wasn't working well because it seemed to have lost air.  I figure this one will do much better because I don't expect the gel to leak.
This pad seems well made and like it will hold up to lots of wearing.  Listen to what your doctor says about how to wear it and you should be good.

Silicandy 2 Pc. Pack Non Stick Silicone Baking Mats with Fiberglass for Cooking and Baking / Non-skid Sticks to Counter / Rolling Dough / Printed Measurements / Conversions / Recipes on Mat (Green)

The Silicandy 2 Pc. Pack Non Stick Silicone Baking Mats with Fiberglass for Cooking and Baking / Non-skid Sticks to Counter / Rolling Dough / Printed Measurements / Conversions / Recipes on Mat (Green) did not dissappoint me.
I love my silicone mats and I needed one a little larger than the ones I have.  This one fit the bill.  I wanted one that I could use for rolling out dough.  This one is the right size and works great!  It has the circles on it so I know if my pie dough is the correct size.  I also always have trouble with my dough sticking so this works great.  I just flip it over on the pan once it is the correct size and then it flops right off the silicone matt into the pie pan.  This works for the bottom and the top crusts.
It also works for cut out cookie dough.  My husband loves cut out cookies but I hate rolling it and trying to get it off the table.  This works great for the cookies.
You can also bake the cookies on this.  The cookies do not burn so quickly and they come right off of the pan.
It has circles to show you where to put drop cookies but I don't use those.
If you ever make goodies that need to dry like dipped chocolates, these are indespensable.
I rinse this off when I am finished and then put it over the top rack of the dishwasher and it comes out good as new.  Just roll it up and put it in the cupboard until next time.
If you have never used a silicone pan I would recommend that you try it.  You will never regret it.I received this product at a discounted price in exchange for an honest and unbiased review.

Spirograph

When I ordered this I expected it to be more like the one I had growing up in the 60s.  I was wrong.  The set was much smaller than mine was but I guess there is a larger set I should have ordered instead so that is just my fault.  Now, I don't know how they made them in later years but mine had a cardboard piece that you put the circle on and then put pins through the circle to hold it in place.  It wasn't perfect but it seemed to me it worked better than the sticky stuff they include now to hold the circle in place.  This did not work very well and we had to try to hold it in place.
On a good note, my grand kids liked it and had some fun using it so even though it was not the same as my memories, it served the purpose of fun for the kids.  I also enjoyed telling them about how mine worked differently.

ChoiceMMed Home Use Pulse Oximeter Measures Oxygen Saturation, Pulse Rate ,4 Directions Display

The ChoiceMMed Home Use Pulse Oximeter Measures Oxygen Saturation, Pulse Rate ,4 Directions Display is a nice product.  My mother has trouble with pneumonia and her oxygen drops and she gets a bit confused.  We have found that when seh refuses to go to the doctor we can convince her to go by showing her that he oxygen level is low.  She  has a monitor and I have one here for when she visits.  My mother in law has been having some sort of episodes and I got this one to keep at her home.  We are not sure what is going on with her but this is one thing we can check at home.  I compared the 2 monitors and they give the same readings so I figure they are both good.
This monitor comes with 2 AAA batteries.  I love when things have the batteries included.
There is a velcro pouch that comes with this to keep it in.  It has a lanyard too but I won't be using that.  Someone else might though.
It clips on the finger and it is comfortable.  It does not pinch too hard but it won't just come loose either.  I think it is just right.
It has an auto shut down.  This is improtant to me since I always forget to turn things like this off.
A cool feature is that you can push a button and the display turns 4 different ways.  That way depending on where you are sitting or whoever is reading it, they will be able to see it.  I find that neat.
I recommend this if you are wanting to monitor your pulse or oxygen level at home.  I received this product for free in exchange for an honest and unbiased review.

MNXO VGA to HDMI Adapter Supports 1080p and Audio

The MNXO VGA to HDMI Adapter Supports 1080p and Audio seems to do as it promises.  I can hook up my older devices to my newer TV HDMI port.  One of the items is my older laptop.  I hooked it all up and it worked great.  The picture was the same quality and so was the sound.  I am pleased with this item and don't have anything negative to say.  It does what it says.

4 pcs Brick Building Base Plate - Secret Life® Large Multi Color 10"x10" Plaste , Fit Lego Tight (Green,Grey,Blue,Orange)

The 4 pcs Brick Building Base Plate - Secret Life® Large Multi Color 10"x10" Plaste , Fit Lego Tight (Green,Grey,Blue,Orange) is a nice set.  My grandkids love to play with legos and I have a big box of them but only one base plate.  Now I have these and love them!   Now, the grands don't need to fight over who gets to use the plate when they are over and playing Legos.
They work just as well as the Lego brand one that I have.  My Lego bricks fit on the base plate and stick well.  They stay in place.  And you can even use the bricks to link them together if you wish.
I originally ordered them to glue them on a piece of wood to make a larger lego table but decided to leave them apart.  They would work for that though if you wished.
They are sturdy enough that you can carry your creation on it without it breaking.
If they get dirty you can just throw them in the dishwasher and they will be good as new!
I would highly recommend these since they work just as well as the Lego brand ones without the price. I received this product for free in exchange for an honest and unbiased review.

Scourer Pads-Stainless Steel Sponges Scrubbers, (Pack of 12), Multi Purpose Scrubbing Pads, High Quality Scourer Pads (Value Pack)

The Scourer Pads-Stainless Steel Sponges Scrubbers, (Pack of 12), Multi Purpose Scrubbing Pads, High Quality Scourer Pads (Value Pack) are ok.  When I ordered them I thought that a pack of 12 would last me for my lifetime.  I don't think that will be true.  The first thing that surprised me was that they were all individually packed ready for resale.  Here are the things I noticed when using them.
They were smaller than I thought they would be but that wasn't too much of a problem for me.  I just knew it would not last as long for me.
I too an old cookie sheet an put some dish detergent on it and started scrubbing.  I found that they were not as tight as my former ones.  Again, not a big deal but I had to bunch it together a bit more to get  what I wanted to scrub with.  It seemed like they were giving off a little.  I am not sure though.  They did clean the pan well.  It looked much better after I was finished.
My biggest problem was that they rusted a little overnight.  I don't want that sitting on my couner or sink and rusting.  Fortunately I have a dish that my scouring pads sit in.
These would be best for a one time use.  I reccomend them if that is what you are looking for.  I received this product at a discounted price in exchange for an honest and unbiased review.

Jewelry Travel Organizer Case Zips for Security Keep Woman's Jewelry Accessories Safe for Travel with This Jewelry Organizer Four Zippered Areas Ring and Earrings Storage (Black)

Have you ever packed up your jewelry and headed out on a vacation only to get to your destination and your necklaces are all tangled up and your earings are mixed up with them? Well, I have. So when I saw the Jewelry Travel Organizer Case Zips for Security Keep Woman's Jewelry Accessories Safe for Travel with This Jewelry Organizer Four Zippered Areas Ring and Earrings Storage (Black) I was rather excited. I did not know they had things like this. So I ordered it and when it came I was still impressed. It is a very nice case. I have not gone on a vacation yet but I can tell that this will work great. Here are my thoughts on it.
For starters I like that the case zips so if something did get loose in the case, it would stay in it and not get lost.
The case seems very sturdy. The stitching is tight and should stand up to use.
There are straps the snap down with holes in them. These can be used to put your rings on and you can put your earings through the holes to keep them in place. Everything is easy to see to find the items you want.
There are smaller straps on the other side that are good for holding your necklaces. You wrap your necklace between two of the straps and then snap them down so they cannot slide around. The snaps are nice and strong so they will not come loose. You could use these for a bracelet too.
There are also many zippered pockets to hold whatever esle you want to put in there.

This is an impressive case that holds a lot of jewelry. I would recommend it to anyone that travels and takes jewelry along. I received this product for free in exchange for an honest and unbiased review.  

Royal 6 PACK Classic Kitchen Towels

The Royal 6 PACK Classic Kitchen Towels, 100% Natural Cotton, 14 x 25, Commercial Restaurant Grade, Herringbone Weave Dish Cloth, Absorbent and Lint-Free, Machine Washable, White with Blue Stripe is not exactly a commercial grade I would say. It isn't bad but they are rather thin and don't wash up the best.
No, I don't mind a thin towel for the kitchen but I know most of my friends do so that is why I thought I should mention that. One of my friends was over at my kitchen and they thought they were rather thin.
The other thing is that they washed up a bit poorly. I like to use hot water on my kitchen towels to be sure and kill germs. Then I dry them in the dryer. They shrunk quite a bit. I don't have a problem with that either but you might so beware of that.
After I washed them I thought they seemed to absorb a bit better. I was pleased with them. They wiped things up well and I could dry my hands on them too.
The blue stripe looks nice and gives it something other than just plain white.

I recommend these as long as the things I mentioned don't bother you. I received this product for free in exchange for an honest and unbiased review.

Colore 26 piece Drawing Pencils Set

The Colore 26 piece Drawing Pencils Set is a nice set. Now, I have to say right off that this is NOT a colored pencil set. I only say that because when I ordered it, I thought it was a colored pencil set. I know, I need to read better. May be it is my chemo brain. I just thought I would put that here in case anyone else is not reading it right like I did. Now, with that being said I will review this the best I can without knowing too much about how these are used.
The pencils are of different hardness. What I found in my experimenting is that the harder the lead, the lighter it drew; and the softer the lead, the darker it drew. The pencils are marked with the hardness. The higher the “H” number the harder it is and the higher the “B” number the darker it will draw. Now, to be honest I never knew that there were different hardnesses except that when we took the standardized tests at school we needed a number 2 pencil.
There are also 3 charcoal and 3 graphite sticks. They are of different hardnesses. These made some of the filling in and shading easier.
There are also erasers and sharpeners for each kind of pencil, graphite and charcoal. They worked well. One of the erasers is a putty and it worked well for tiny erasers.
As I experimented with these, the lead never broke. I would say that they are of really good quality and will last a long time. The softer leads needed to be sharpened more often but I think that is because they just use more of the lead.
I would conclude that these are very high quality. If you are an avid drawer, these would be great for you.
