Premium Outdoor Hammock for Hiking, Camping, Backpacking Review



I loved Hammocks as a kid and the feeling of weightlessness they provide. It has been a long time since I have been in a Hammock so I couldn't recall what the material or anything else about the olden days Hammocks. So when I was asked to review this one I jumped at the chance, well I had to wait in line after my youngest daughter at least.



 The package that it comes in is a tiny bag that is smaller than a volleyball and comes with a second package that has the tree straps in them as well. The material is really light weight and is very breathable to help with sweat if you are in a hot area. The best t hing about this is that the stuff bag that you put the Hammock in after you are done...It is actually attached to the Hammock itself. Its like mind blowing that sleeping bag companies haven't thought of this before.




 The hammock is well made and seems very durable. My daughter was so excited she wanted me to hook it up in her room so she could nap in it. I used one of the tree straps to connect one side to my daughters top bunk bed and the other to a sturdy closet rod in her closet. It states that it will hold 400 lbs and it held my 250 lb (ish) frame just fine as well. I would defiantly recommend this Hammock for anyone that is camping, hiking or just plan napping in their room. I revived this item at a discount in exchange for my honest opinion and review.

TECHEF - Frittata and Omelette Pan review



I was not sure about this pan at first because it did not come with any instructions. I tried searching for videos on how to use as well but there are mixed thoughts on how to use it. Some people say to put eggs on both sides and then close it when you are ready to flip it over.  Then others that just put the eggs on one side and then close it and then flip the pan upside down to flip the eggs.  I found it to work better to heat up the pan, put the eggs in and then shut the lid.  That way it is cooking from the top and bottom and then after a few minutes you flip the pan over and finish cooking the top.  I am giving it 4 stars for the lack of any instructions on the pan.  I received this item for free in exchange for my hones opinion and review.

Garden Décor Solar Powered Lights- Set of 10 Review


These are great item to add light walk way or Garden Way. I was a little disappointed that they were plastic and not glass containers. The tops of solar panels covered in stuff that I had to clean off, I would think that all of they would clean all of the manufacturing gunk off of the tops before shipping them out.  I let them charge for a few days before I started to use them. I have also noticed when I get up in the morning the lights are almost dead. They don't seem to hold a charge very long, so you have to make sure the get plenty of sun during the day time. I got this item for free in exchange for my honest opinion and review.


 Sorry the night pictures didn't turn out very well and are a little out of focus.

Gold Cosmetics & Supplies Brand Review



I was surprised to see these show up in a hello kitty bag and not the nice professional bag in the product pictures.  They seem to do fine except the fact that they are not self adhesive and you have to use Vaseline or something like that to get them to stay in place.  Which in itself is not a big deal just a minor annoyance to have to wipe off and make sure you don't get it in the eye.  They do what they are made for and prevent any glue or dye from getting on the skin.  I received these in exchange for my honest opinion and review.

HealthyWiser Digital pH Meter Review



I was not to familiar with what PH level do to water and why or mattered, after some research I found out that if your water is to alkaline or acidic it can through off your bodies phone balance. With this device is was able to see that my water was with in the limits that are allowable.  It is great if you have a pool, aquarium or hydroponics.  It is very user friendly and comes with good instructions on how to calibrate, use and maintain the test unit. I received this item in exchange for my honest opinion and review.


HealthyWiser Digital TDS & EC Meter Water Test Kit Review



There is nothing worse in my opinion than nasty drinking water. well, I guess there is nastier but I hate nasty drinking water with a passion. We have been using the water system in our fridge as drinking water but over the past few months it has started to taste different and not in a good way. I decided to get a water tester to see what my water tested as. My tap water tested at a 300 TDS which is about normal, my filtered fridge water though was 250 TDS which is not a lot better. I would think that going through a $60 filter would get you some clean water. 




I tested bottled water and it was 10-20 TDS depending on the brand. That is more of what I expected to get from a filtered water so we ended up singing up for water service through Costco that is $1 a month to rent the cooler and then $6 for the 5 gallon jugs of water. Their water tested at a 5 TDS which is great and it is some of the best tasting water I have ever drank. I love having this tester to be able to test how clean the water I am drinking. It is very easy to use and user friendly. I did receive this item for free in exchange for my honest opinion and review.

Solar Motion Sensor Light, Fugetek FT-38L Super Bright 38 LED Review



The pictures do not do this light justice to how big it actually is, it is about the size as a standard tissue box. I took it out of the box and let it charge up for most of the day to get a nice full charge out of it and then I set to play with it for the rest of the night. It took me a few minutes to figure out how to get the light to turn on but once I figured it out I was blinded by the light for a few minutes. I wouldn't recommend looking directly into this mini sun when you turn it on and are playing with it.


 I like anything that is wireless and I don't have to pay someone to install. Installation on this is easy, you just screw in 2 screws and then mount the light on the screws and then you are good to go. It is rated to charge in any types of weather and says that it needs to be charge monthly so I would make sure you install it where it will be able to get some sunlight so you don't have to take it down and stick it in the sun. I received this item for free in exchange for my honest opinion and review.
