Archeer 4.8A Mini Dual USB Car Charger Adapter, 1-Pack

The Archeer 4.8A Mini Dual USB Car Charger Adapter, 1-Pack is a nice little charger. You can hardly see that it is in the charger. We have plenty of cords in our car but not enough placed to plug them in. This has made it that we have a couple more places. It hardly sticks out at all so it fits well in the little compartment that my van has. The directions say to remove it when not in use. Sometimes I forget but when I pull it out it hardly takes up any room in that same little compartment. If you are looking for a great little charger try this one.

TheFitLife trekking pole and like it so I figured I could use another. So I got the TheFitLife Nordic Walking mountaineering Anti Shock Hiking Trekking Walking Trail Poles, 2-pack, Folding Collapsible Alpenstocks, ultralight for travel mountaineering

A couple of years ago I was on chemo and got neuropathy. This really messes with my balance when I am walking on uneven surfaces. I had one TheFitLife trekking pole and like it so I figured I could use another. So I got the TheFitLife Nordic Walking mountaineering Anti Shock Hiking Trekking Walking Trail Poles, 2-pack, Folding Collapsible Alpenstocks, ultralight for travel mountaineering.
The title of this says “folding” which isn't quite right. It telescopes but doesn't fold. I actually like the telescoping better. The folding one sometimes stretches out when it gets stuck in the ground. These don't.
I like how these have a shock absorber. When you push it down it gives a little and then goes back. This is nice for comfort.
The handle is not very cushy so it could get slippery if it is wet. I have not had issue with it though. There is a wrist strap too.
One of the reviews said something about no directions but there were directions in with mine. I included a picture of them.
There are other tips included for if you are on ground that is soft or snow. I have not used these since I did not need them.
I found these easy to make the right size. There are markings so that you can keep track of what length you need. This way you don't have to figure it out each time.
Another thing I really like with this set is the bag for them. It has a strap that you can throw them over your shoulder. It is like the strap on a “bag chair.” This way I don't have to tie up one of my hands. This is important to me if I am going to a picnic or something like that.
These are plenty sturdy to me. I have had no issues.
If you are looking for a two pack of trekking poles, this is a great set.

AquaAudio Cubo – Portable Waterproof Bluetooth Speaker with Suction Cup for Showers, Car, etc. - Pairs with All Bluetooth Devices + Siri Compatible - 10 hours Playtime/ Built-in Mic (Silver)

The AquaAudio Cubo – Portable Waterproof Bluetooth Speaker with Suction Cup for Showers, Car, etc. - Pairs with All Bluetooth Devices + Siri Compatible - 10 hours Playtime/ Built-in Mic (Silver) is a nice little speaker. I won't say it is as great as the expensive fancy ones but for the price this works great.
I love that it has auto off so if I leave, I can come home and not find it dead.
It came charged but I plugged it in to charge just to be sure it is all charged. It is going strong after multiple showers.
It paired easily which is a must for me! I am not very tech savy and need it to be easy.
There is a large suction cup that holds it onto the wall of the shower. It is a strong suction and I have not had it fall off.
The sound is decent. I can't say I would notice if it wasn't perfect quality but it sounds good to me. I did not feel like I was in a tin can. I can answer the phone with it too. Not that I want to do that very often but there are times that I am waiting for a call and need to get in the shower. This is very handy for those times.
I think I will get one for my friend that likes to talk while getting ready. She will love this.

Clear Window Bird Feeder House for outside, X Large 4 Suction Cups, Removable Tray, Drain holes, Easy to Fill and Clean, Top Quality and Strong

I bought the Clear Window Bird Feeder House for outside, X Large 4 Suction Cups, Removable Tray, Drain holes, Easy to Fill and Clean, Top Quality and Strong because I live out in the country and I have always loved feeding the birds. I have gone through so many bird feeders because of the wind dashing my hanging feeders against the tree. I have looked at these often and finally decided to try it.
For starters this is not a birdhouse like the title kind of makes it sound like. This is fine with me since I did not look to buy a house but a feeder.
If you are sending this as a gift, mine did not come in another box so it was obvious what it was. Again not a big deal to me but thought I would mention it.
There are four suction cups to hold it on the window. I like how with four it doesn't move around or shake.
There are drain holes for any rain to run right out. It is open so the rain can get in. There is a spot for water too if you want to do that. The food trays come out so you can fill them without taking the whole thing down.
There is a perch ledge for the birds to stand on.
I am excited to see birds feeding again. I have really missed it. I hope next year if I start right away I will have even more birds hanging out to feed.

TheFitLife Trekking Poles Folding Compact and Ultralight Collapsible Adjustable Perfect for Hiking Walking Backpacking Mountaineering and Climbing Lightweight

I ordered the TheFitLife Trekking Poles Folding Compact and Ultralight Collapsible Adjustable Perfect for Hiking Walking Backpacking Mountaineering and Climbing Lightweight because I have neuropathy from chemotherapy and have some issues with balance. I like to go to a festival which means walking on a lot of grass and uneven soil. This is difficult for me. In the past I took a collapsible cane. My husband thought that it made me look old. When I saw this I figured it would be a good alternative. I was right. It collapses and even has a velcro strap that holds it together when it is folded. There is a pouch too that I can put it in.
I really like the handle and it is very comfortable to hold. There is a nice wrist strap that you can adjust to fit.
I have only used the regular tip and it works well. There are other tips though for snow or rocky ground.
I am so glad to have this so I can feel more secure when walking in the grass or a field.

Family Tree DNA Genetic Ancestry Test Kit


I am so excited to get my results for the Family Tree DNA Genetic Ancestry Test Kit. The directions were clear. You can do this by yourself but if you have someone to help you I would suggest that. This way you will ensure that you don't spill the liquid when trying to put the swap tips in. This was very easy and you put it in the included postage paid envelope. I have not gotten my results but will have to update when they come. I plan to upload the raw data to one of the other sites that evaluate them.

Professional Dog Grooming Scissors from Ryan's Pet Supplies, Two Pairs Stainless Steel Scissor Kit, Thinning Shears for Dogs and Pets, 1x Straight Shear for Body and 1x Curved Shear for Face and Paws

I really like the Professional Dog Grooming Scissors from Ryan's Pet Supplies, Two Pairs Stainless Steel Scissor Kit, Thinning Shears for Dogs and Pets, 1x Straight Shear for Body and 1x Curved Shear for Face and Paws. My favorite thing is that they do not have pointy ends. When I cut the fur I have a really hard time getting the pets to sit still. I hate to admit how many times I have poked a pet trying to give a trim. Not any more! I am glad I will not be scaring them anymore with pokes.
The curved scissors is nice idea. Most every part of the dog is curved so the straight shears is not as good. They have their place but I now prefer the curved one.
The handles are comfortable and easy to hold and control.
I hate paying to have my pets trimmed and now it is even easier to do myself.
