Mellanni Thermal Insulated Blackout Curtains Review

I have been wanting to try some blackout energy saving curtains for a while and was excited to be able to test these and do a review on them.  I sometimes work at night and use a mask to sleep during the day to help block out the light so my brain thinks it is night time.  The only draw back to these is that they let some light in where the curtains meet together in the center.  I don't think it is the just these curtains though, most all curtains that I have ever used has the same issue.  There is some light on the side that bleeds out a little as well but that can be fixed by installing the curtains out on the side further than I have them.

The Curtains are very soft and almost a silky feeling.  They are 100% Polyester and are well made, the stitching looks sold and not cheap.  They are a durable fabric that is easy to hang as well, they are not stiff and look very nice.  I would recommend these drapes if you need to block out light, noise or the heat and cold.

Nunet 2-in-1 Multifunctional Adjustable Cellphone Holder, Wireless Charger Nucharger Snap200 Review

I have been wanting to get a wireless Charger for my Samsung Galaxy S7 for awhile now so when NuCharger approached me to test one of theirs I jumped at the chance.  What could be better than not having to connect your phone to a cable to charge it...right.

I already have a holder in my truck but was looking for something to charge my phone that would not leave my phone just sitting on my desk.  I decided to mount this on the wall next to my laptop at work.  I was pushing the base to help the stick adhere to the wall when I had a thought that this might actually be better in my truck.  I decided to try to pull it off before the sticky tape had a chance but I didn't know they used stuff that could hold up an elephant.  I was tugging on this thing and would not come off, so be sure of your decision when you finally place it.  Needless to say it is staying by my desk and I am ok with that, I will just order another one for the truck.

The unit itself is well made and seems very sturdy and I can tell that it was not just slapped together to try to sell a product.  Like I said above, the adhesive on the bottom of the mount is stronger than any other that I have dealt with.  The part that you set your phone on is a sticky surface and not magnetic.  This is the only issue that I have with the item because you will need to replace this part after it looses its stickiness.  The company was nice and gave you an extra of each of the top and bottom adhesive sections so you will have a spare.  I am not sure where to get them after that and not sure how long they last.

I charged my phone 20% to get it to 100% with this to test the charging and it took about 30 minutes to charge that 20%.  It is not a fast charger by any means but it gets the job done instead of just sitting on my desk not doing anything I can now have it maintain a full charge while I am at work and not have to worry about how much juice I use in the evening. 

Overall I am pleased with this item and would give it 4 out of 5 stars just for the fact that in the future where do I get extra replacement sticky parts.  Would recommend this for anyone looking for a good wireless charger.   

Product Description

Nanometer Suction Technology
Compared to the conventional magnets which might affect the wireless charging efficiency, the nanometer suction pad is made up of numerous invisible nanometer scale suction cups that take hold of your phone or cellphone case firmly like super glue. In case the sticky pad gets dirty, clean it up with water then it becomes usable again.

Safe Driving & Flexible Placement
360° rotatable pivot lets you adjust the charging pad to your optimal viewing angle and snap your phone onto the nano-suction pad easily. The base can also be adhered firmly to any position of your dashboard with the included 3M self adhesive sticker and alcohol pad.
WARNING: -Make sure the texture of your dash board is flat and works well with 3M tape.
-Use alcohol pad to clean the surface first. If not working, you might need to find another texture place to attach this product or apply adhesive activator etc.
-Check the back of your phone or your cellphone case to make sure it is smooth, flat and clean so that it can be secured to the suction surface.
- Please keep in mind that the sticky suction pad could be very strong. Leaving some area covered by the sticker will help reduce the suction strength.

3.RX Output: DC 5V/ 1.0A Max

Solar Powered Security Floodlights - Motion Activated Lights- Wireless Outdoor Light- 80 Lumen Ultra Bright LEDs Review!

I have been a gatherer of anything solar for a few years now just for the fact that I like the peace of mind to be able to have light or power or anything else that is powered by the sun.  The light was a little smaller than I had thought it was going to be but puts out a fair amount of light for its size.  The light is made of a very light weight plastic but doesn't feel cheap at all.  I like the feature of the motion sensing that way you do not have to worry about it being on full bright at all times. It is also a nice feature that it is on a very dim setting all the time to make it as a sort of night light, would be great for a deck or on posts for a walkway. 

 I haven't decided if I am going to actually mount this or leave it charged in the house and use it as an indoor nightlight and just take it out to charge it when needed.  The feature to be able to shut it completely off with the supplied tool or a paperclip is nice, that way if you wanted to store it through winter or something you could do that with out having to worry if you where killing the battery.

Eternity Buttonless Flameless Lighter, USB Rechargeable Electric Battery Powered Review

I have been wanting to try out one of these lighters for a long time now.  I think it is a great idea that you can have a rechargeable lighter with you and always have a way to make fire.  With all of the Solar options for charging packs these days you can have limitless charges.  I was very pleased with the packaging on this item.  For those that have read some of my past posts you will know that I love it when companies put some effort into the packaging of their product.  It shows that they care about their product and actually want to show it off and not just throw it into some cheesy cardboard box.

The lighter itself is well made and is very well built and you can tell by holding it that it is a nice sold piece of equipment.  it has a nice smooth finish and the lid is easy to flip open and closed.  It even comes with a nice little felt bag for a carrying case.  

I decided to test this on some paper since I am not a smoker.  when you open the lid of the lighter a little green light comes on letting you know that you are good  to go.  once you stick something in between the points it emits a noise and starts to burn what ever is between the points.  If you have sensitive ears then it can be a little harsh.  It was able to start the paper on fire with in a few seconds.

I was pleased at how fast it worked and just the ingenuity of it all.

If interested you can buy it here and I might receive a few pennies.

Safety iQ - Saver Emergency Breath System Review

We have a bedroom in our basement that does't have windows large enough to escape from if we ever had a fire in our house.  That is not a fun thing to think about if you are sleeping in that room or have someone you love sleeping in that room.  It is on our list of things to do in our home renovations is to eventually add in the big windows to make it safe, but in the mean time what happens if there is ever a fire and the person in the basement has to escape.  I got offered to test this product a few weeks a go so I jumped at the chance to test it out and see what it or other products like it could do. 

This is a great idea, to be able to have something that is light weight and easy to use in case of fire.  You basically pop out the orange cap in the back to activate the filter, put the nose plug on and then bite down on the mouth guard and breath through it.  Sounds like a great system if you can remember to do that when things get tense in an actual fire.  The major draw back to this system is that it only lasts for 5 min.  If it takes you longer than 5 min to get out of your house you could be in trouble.  I would think that having a longer or bigger unit that would give you more breathing time would be worth the added bulk.  

After researching this product and others like it I found that this is a great product if you don't need more than 5 min of air and like how compact it is.  If you do happen to think you will need more than 5 min and are not to concerned about extra bulk there are others on amazon for less money that look to be great products with good reviews on them as well.  I plan on putting this item in my basement bedroom to be used in case of fire along with some heat resistant gloves and googles that would protect eyes as well.  I received this item for free in exchange for my honest opinion and review.
