Portable Handheld Garment Steamer, WINSEE Fabric Steamer 25 s Fast Heat-up 1500 W Powerful Garment Steamer with High Capacity for Travel and Home

Posted in Cleaning products, Clothing, Home productsTagged , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , 4 Comments

We have been on vacation this past week, and often clothing gets creased in the suitcase.  That is why I am so happy to have the WINSEE Handheld Garment Steamer.

It comes with a simple to read User’s Manual, that has diagrams as well.

Before plugging in the steamer, remove the water container, fill the measuring cup, and pour the water into the container.  Put this section back into the handle of the steamer.

Now you can plug it in, and turn the product on.  After 25 seconds it is at the correct temperature to use.

Have your clothing on a hanger, and pull it tight.  Allow the steamer to gentle go over areas that are creased.  It has several attachments for putting creases in trousers, fabric, and upholsters, as well as ironing, removing lint, and steaming upholstery.

It also comes with a bag to store it in.

I have used it on a white cotton blouse, and also on older furniture that was looking really sad.  It works great, and lasts for several minutes.  Allow it to cool down before cleaning the head, when using for upholstery.

I am really happy with it, and it has more steam, and stronger than my other handheld steamers.

I did receive mine for free, and have tested it several times, before writing my review.

Mirity Women’s Racerback Sports Bra – High Impact Workout Gym Bra keeps my boobs in place.

Posted in UncategorizedLeave a comment

It is now over a year since I received this sports bra, and it hasn’t stretched at all. It’s kept it’s color too. I still rotate it with my other sports bras, and can honestly say that it has really stood up to every kind of workout I have done.

susiesopinions

With the type of workout I do, I need a bra that is going to hold me in, give me support, and be comfortable.  Also it can’t flatten my boobs too much.  I still want to look girlie, even at 68.

I got the Mirity Racerback High Impact Workout Bra in black, and in the small size.  When I opened it up, the label says S/M, but I can assure you it is a small.  As you can see in the photos it fits me, and I am a 34B.

The bra goes over the head, and pulls down.  The straps are slightly wider than a regular bra, which makes for comfort.  I love that the back is really narrow, so you don’t see it under a racerback top.  It has a nice stretchy band, that doesn’t cut into you.  It has thin foam pads to protect you, and give…

Vitamin C Serum with Hyaluronic Acid and Vitamin E.

Posted in Beauty products, health, toiletriesTagged , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , Leave a comment

I do believe in anti-aging/anti wrinkle products, and use them daily, that it why I wanted to try the Vitamin C Serum Face And Skin Rejuvenation With Hyaluronic Acid And Vitamin E Battles Signs Of Aging By Moisturizing And Boosting Antioxidant Levels For A Wrinkle-Free, Younger, Healthier Look (2oz).

I love that it has Vitamin C and E, as well as Hyaluronic Acid.  All of these help with wrinkles, and aging spots.  If you have seen photos of me, you will see at age 69, I have both, but what I feel this serum does, is to slow down this process.  I know it is not a miracle product, and do not expect to see improvement.  However, anything is better than not using an anti-aging product.

From the Amazon website:

• Vitamin C – This is one of the most essential vitamins to keep the skin protected and healthy. Its main function is to maintain high collagen levels which help to repair damaged skin such as acne scars or sunburn.
• Vitamin E – Aids in the removal of toxins from your skin. It provides advanced environmental protection from damaging free-radicals and repairs the cells to give the skin a healthier look. Vitamin E is a key in keeping your natural glow and to ward off signs of natural aging.
• Hyaluronic Acid – Helps increase firmness and replenish lipids to visibly reduce wrinkles by boosting antioxidants and stimulating the synthesis of collagen production. Collagen helps to keep your skin tight, fights off wrinkles and age spots.’

It comes in a 2 ounce brown bottle with a dropper.  The serum is thicker than water, but a little too runny for my liking. It tends to drip down.  It has a pleasant smell, that disappears quickly.  I use a moisturizer on top of mine.  I am happy with it, and will continue using it.

I did receive mine at a discounted price, and chose to write a review about it.

Solar Light, Post Cap Lights 4 x 4 Plus, Super Bright 10 Lumen LED Sogrand White Vinyl, for Outdoor Areas. 2 Pack

Posted in garden, Home and Outdoors, Lighting, Outdoors activities, Safety productsTagged , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , 4 Comments

I have a wall in my back yard, then goes own in steps, and looks very boring, so I decided to put the Sogrand Solar Post Cap Lights on them.  

As you can see in the daytime photos, they are white, and blend in well with the surroundings.  At night they give off this brilliant light, that looks like ‘ice’.

These are the simplest lights to use.  Just put them on a post, wall, fence, or anywhere you have a post, or a surface that needs lighting.  Before it gets dark, lift of the top, where the solar panel is, and put the switch over to the ON position.

Your lights will look fantastic.  I know mine do.  They sit at the ends of my wall ledges, and light up the middle of my back garden.

So there are no wires or leads, no cost once purchased, and no maintenance to worry about.  Just have them in a sunny place, and they will come on at dusk, and go off at dawn.  You are helping the environment, and saving energy costs.

These are all weather lights, so it doesn’t matter where you live.

From the Amazon webpage:

  • SUPER BRIGHT:10 LUMEN LED for Home Outdoor Safety & Convenience – The high lumen output deck solar post lights outdoor keep residents safer while walking or working outside and offers better home security all throughout the night. This set is great for solar post cap lights 4 x 4 and above.’

I was fortunate to get mine for free, and also love sharing my views with you.

At the beach and using the MerceHygea Icy Freeze Evaporative Cooling Towel Stay Cool for Gym, Outdoor Sports etc.

Posted in beach, Fitness and SportsTagged , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , 9 Comments

Right now I am staying at Treasure Island beach, Florida, and the temperatures are hitting 90 degrees.  Therefore I was pleased to receive the MerceHygea Icy Freeze Cooling Towel.

I walk the beach for hours a day, and have been known to walk 19 and a half miles, 42,500 steps in one day.  During the afternoon the sun really beats down, so the Cooling Towel has really helped me.

All I do is soak it in cold water, wring it out as much as possible, and the snap it.  I have had it around my neck, on my head, and across my shoulders.  It keeps them cool for the couple of hours, that I stay each time I go down.  Of course I always take plenty of water to drink too.

When I am not on vacation I go to the gym every day, do boxing, kick boxing, Zumba, and circuit training.  Again this towel has come in really handy for me, as the sweat is pouring off of me after my boxing training.  Some of my friends are interested in it, after seeing me using it.

The price is only $9.99, and it comes in Bright Green, Deep Blue, Orange Yellow, and Rose Red.  The leaflet that comes with it is in Chinese, and not English, so my one suggestion, would be to have a translation on it.  Otherwise you need to come to the Amazon webpage to read about it.

I did receive mine for free, and chose to write a review about it.

MasBekTe Wireless Door Open Chime Door Window Security Alarm-Operating Range – 182M/600FT/up to 50 Chime Tunes/LED Indicators ,1 Magnetic Door Chime Sensor & 1 Plugin Receiver

Posted in Father's day, Home products, Safety productsTagged , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , Leave a comment

My next-door neighbor has a chime on her integral garage door, and I always thought what a great idea.  When I had the chance to receive the MasBekTe Wireless Door Open Chime, I couldn’t wait to get it.

My husband opened it up, and had it all set up before I had a chance to see what came in the box.  That’s how easy it is to install.  In the box were: ‘One receiver and one magnetic door sensor transmitter, adhesive tapes on backside of 2 parts and batteries.’

He put the plugin receiver in the outlet within a foot of the door.  Then one piece of the sensor on the opening side of the door, and the other on the frame.  He matched them up so that they were the same height.

As soon as he opened the door, the chime went off, and lasted for a few seconds.  You can change the chimes as there are 50 different ones, and also the volume on the plugin receiver.

Being white it is the same color as this door.  Our front door, and patio doors are always locked, but we come in the garage, and tend to have that one unlocked.  I really like that I now have added security on this door..

A little from the Amazon webpage:

  • Magnetic Door Sensor

    & Unique Ringtones :The magnetic door sensor activates when the magnetic stripe is separated. The plug-in portable receiver will alert and notice you with a ringtone when the door is opened. Perfect for stores to keep security

  • Wireless Plug-in Receiver & Built-in LED Indicator :The portable wireless plug-in receiver plugs into any standard outlet. And its LED indicator can create visual alert for the hearing impaired.
  • Maximum of 600 ft/ 182 m operating range.:Magnetic door sensor alerts whenever the magnetic stripe is separated.Modern and contemporary design gives flexibility to install anywhere in your home, business space, retail stores, and more places.

I am really happy with the wireless doorbell chime, and am thinking about buying some for the men, that I buy gifts for.  I never know what to get them, and I think this is a perfect solution.  No work involved, and a happy wife.

I did receive mine for free, and have tested it these last few days, and really appreciate that I have it.

Dickens style Sogrand Solar Outdoor Garden Lanterns, LED Pathway Lighting for Yard Patio Walkway Landscape

Posted in Christmas, garden, holidays, Lighting, Safety productsTagged , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , Leave a comment

The Sogrand 2 piece Lantern LED Solar Lights remind me of Dickens, and when I used to live in England, just 8 miles from Rochester, where they have the Dickens festival.

They are really ornate, and create a pretty entrance to a walkway, pathway, or anywhere that 2 lights will work.

As they are solar, there is no work involved with them, apart from putting the stakes together, and then finding the right place to put them outside.  A spot in bright sunshine is perfect.

You take the top off, where the solar panel is, and underneath is a switch.  Just push it over to the ON position.  Now your lights will look beautiful during the day, and light up at night.

You are saving energy costs, and also helping the environment as well.  I can certainly imagine these at Christmas time, taking you back to far away days.  They can sustain all kinds of weather, but the more sun you have, the better they perform.

I did receive mine for free, and tested them in my garden.  They work great, and my only problem,

is to decide where I am placing them permanently.

Cnfio Women’s Sexy Fit Slim Casual Stretchy Long Sleeve Dress Tunic Top

Posted in Clothing, dressesTagged , , , , , , , , , , , , , 8 Comments

I had the pleasure of wearing the Cnfio Women’s Sexy Fit Slim Long Sleeve Dress Tunic Top last night.

We were going dancing, and so I put it on, and as I like to do swing, and twisting, figured I needed to wear leggings with it.  I have some really tight black ones, and the outfit was outstanding.  I had so many compliments.

The dress is made of polyester and cotton.  The color I chose was the Wine Red, but it also comes in black, and off white.

I love the long sleeves with the rousing on them, and also at the bottom of the dress/top.  It makes for a really feminine outfit.  At the front and back it comes around 5 inches above my knees, and at the sides 7-8.

The fabric isn’t thick, which made it perfect for dancing.  It is very figure flattering, and the small fitted me perfectly.

My husband said that I looked really sexy it in, and it is a totally different design to any tops/dresses that I have in my wardrobe.

I am on vacation at the beach right now, and brought it with me.  If we

go our for dinner, it will be very comfortable, and I know that I will look good.

The dress should either be hand washed, or on a delicate cycle.  I always dry my dresses on a hanger.

I did receive this item for free, and as you can see, really tested it.

Boxing on an upside down Bosu Ball

Posted in Uncategorized12 Comments

Added a video from my YouTube account that I personally did. Not as good as the Professional one, but those that aren’t on Facebook can check it out.

susiesopinions

This was me today.

https://www.facebook.com/susie.34668#

My trainer tells me that there are only a couple of videos of Advanced fight training on a BOSU ball, so wanted to prove to you all that it can be done.  This is my first attempt, and I can only get better, and faster.  Also planning on doing more moves too.  I have always loved doing squats on it, while lifting weights.

I was asked it I had another other videos for people not on Facebook.  This is one I took as a selfie.

Get relief from the HOT & COLD THERAPY GEL PACK – Reusable Freezable Microwavable by Foxxgel

Posted in Fitness and Sports, healthTagged , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , 2 Comments

If you are a regular reader of my blog, you will know that I am a fitness fanatic, and often that causes pain.  I do have a heat pad, and also freezer bags to use, but neither work that good.  Therefore I wanted to try the Foxxgel Hot & Cold Therapy Gel Pack.

For hot relief it goes in the microwave for 30 seconds, and then le

t it cool for 30 seconds before applying it to the area.  Depending on the power of the microwave you might need to do it for a few seconds more.  Mine is 1,100 watts, and that works out good for me.

From the website: ‘HOT & COLD THERAPY GEL PACK – Reusable Freezable Microwavable for Injuries and Pain Relief – Adjustable Elastic Velcro Strap for Neck Shoulder Back Arm Wrist Hand Thigh Knee Calf Ankle Foot’.

My pain is usually in my left shoulder from boxing.  It feels really good with the heat. I find it difficult to apply a heat pad to it.  The Gel Pack has straps with Velcros, so you can adjust it as you need to.

For cold therapy it goes in the freezer for a minimum of 2 hours, and can stay in as long as you wish.  Before use, wrap it in a towel, and then apply it to the area that needs relief.

I have tried both, and they work great.

I did receive this product at a discounted price, and wanted to share my experience with you.
