Posted in Fitness and Sports, healthTagged , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , 3 Comments

The Pathway Fitness Glute – Hip Circle Band, resistance, stretching band for Squats and Lunges is a perfect fitness band, for when I am on vacation.  It folds so small that I can take it anyway with me.

Initially I wasn’t too sure how it worked, so read the details on the Amazon page, which describes it better than I would:

I have tried the band, and it fits me really tight.  I have the small, and weigh 110 lbs.  It is really well made, and stays in place.  I have used the instruction sheet that came with it, to try different exercises.

I did receive mine at a discounted price, and know that I will get lots of use out of it.

Posted in Christmas, garden, holidays, Lighting, Safety products, solar lights.Tagged , , , , , , , , , , , 7 Comments

My front and back gardens are like a fairyland with the pretty solar lights I have. The Sogrand White and Blue Dual Color LED lights, just make my collection even prettier.

There are 4 solar lights, that come extremely well packaged.  To use them, all you have to do is push them together.  Put the top into the tube, and the stake in the other end.  Set them in the ground where there is a lot of sunshine.
Before it gets dark, pull out the tab, and the lights are ready to use.  Some may be on white, and others on blue.  You can choose all blue, all white, or whatever combination you like.
The colors are bright, and beautiful, as you can see in my photos, and video.

Now you can just enjoy them, and there is nothing else to do.  The sun with shine on the solar panel during the day, and they will light up your yard/garden/walkway/driveway/patio at night.  You are not only saving money on electricity, but also helping the environment.
I know that they help to secure my property, and I feel much safer, knowing that they are keeping my home well lit at night.
I received these lights for free, but they are on promotion right now at just $11.99, so now is the time to buy them.

I love color in my front yard, so was happy to receive a package with the Sogrand Outdoor Pathway 4 Color LED Bright Stainless Steel Solar lights.

If you want lights that your neighbors will ask you where you got them, then why not check these out.  They have a stainless steel top, skirt under the bulb, and rod.  The bulb area is cut like diamonds.  On the top is the solar panel, so have it in a sunny place.  As the sun shines on the lights they glisten.  Then at night, they come to life, and you get the pretty colors of red, blue, yellow, and green.
They are so easy to install as there are no wires, leads, plugs, etc.  Just push the rods into the spike, and top, place in the ground, and you are all set.
These are great for walkways, patio areas, yard, landscaping, and anywhere you want to look beautiful, and also for safety.

 

 

On promotion at just $11.99, and free 2 day shipping if you have Amazon Prime, these are a perfect gift to enjoy for yourself.  Check out last years lights, and if you want to upgrade, do it now ready for the next Holiday Season.

I did receive mine for free, and have fully tested them, as you can see in my photos and video.

Can’t get my new photos in the Windows 10 laptop

Posted in WritingTagged , , , 12 Comments

I love new things, but hate new technology.  I have set up the laptop, and seen lots of tutorials.  I am gradually putting in the 100 or more links that I use.  However, here on WordPress, I am still using my older Windows 10.

The reason being, my photos don’t automatically come up on the new one.  I have gone into the help support area, and everyone that asked the question didn’t get an answer.  So I finally clicked on phone support.  They said it would be 10 minutes, and they would call me back.  They did call back after 10 minutes, but I am still on hold after another 20 minutes.  As we are going out this afternoon, I am going to have to end the call.

Anyone have any ideas for me?  You know I am technically challenged.  If not I will call them again tonight, and continue waiting.

Thanks in advance to anyone that can help me.

I love the Chef Remi line of kitchen products.  Back in August, 2015 I bought a thermometer from them, and recently it kept showing an error.  They immediately sent me the Chef Remi Latest Instant Red Digital Cooking Thermometer, that comes with a lifetime replacement warranty.  You certainly can’t beat that.

As with all their products, it works perfectly, and easy to use.  Today I was making a pork loin casserole, and I got an instant reading from the thermometer.

I can certainly recommend all the Chef Remi products, and their customer service.  There was no hesitation, they sent it out to me, free of charge.

I can’t go out in case my new laptop gets stolen.

Posted in WritingTagged , , , , , , 11 Comments

I ordered a new laptop on Amazon Tuesday.  It is being delivered today.  If it had come via the U.S.P.S. it would have been here this morning.  However, it is coming via UPS, and they usually come between 7 p.m. and 9 p.m.

We have friends moving back up north, and were planning on going to the F.O.E. tonight.  The problem is, that too many parcels get stolen nowadays.  We pretty much see it on the news every day.

It will be dark, when they leave it, so have no option but to stay home.  Excited about the laptop, but disappointed that we can’t say ‘Goodbye’ to friends of more than 12 years.

Do you have these parcel thieves that come right up to your door?  What has this world come too, when we can’t trust people to be honest.

Sport2People No Tie Elastic Shoelaces (2 PAIRS) – Reflective Running Gear – Shoe Laces for Sneakers With a Strong Lock Button

Posted in ClothingTagged , , , , , , , , , 3 Comments

I was lucky enough to receive another pack of 2 sets of No Tie Reflective Laces this week. My new ones are the gray shoes with the blue laces. Again they came at a discounted price.

susiesopinions

I have a couple of pairs of the No Tie Elastic Shoelaces, and have them in my sneakers.  I have 2 new pairs of sneakers, so was happy to get the Sport2People No Tie Elastic Shoelaces.  There are 2 sets of laces, making them inexpensive to buy.

As I have used them before they are simple for me to set them up.  Obviously I take out the other laces, and start at the toe end.  I loop them through the holes, and bring them down to the ankle end.  Then thread them through the round lock, cut off a few inches, leaving enough to lay down the shoe.  Finally clip the laces into the long lock, and press hard to secure.

Now you have your laces done.  No more tying them each time you go out, or undoing them.  I use a shoehorn to get them on, making sure…

Enjoy Holiday® 2 Packs Soft Lightweight Infinity Scarf For Women – 2018 New Fashion Design Printed For Spring Summer, High Color Fastness Reach CP65 Standard

Posted in Clothing, giftsTagged , , , , , , , , , 6 Comments

I have several scarves, stoles, wraps, etc., and use them on many occasions.  I thought that the Enjoy Holiday 2 pack soft lightweight infinity scarves were perfect to compliment my collection.

They are a long circle of 100% SOFT BALI POLYESTER material.  There are many designs, and I decided on one plain one, and a floral/leaf patterned one.  As you can see in my photos, they go around the neck twice, and are certainly a fashion statement.

I will keep the plain black one as a scarf, and have the colorful one to show off clothing, that is one color.

These are washable in cold water, and hang/drip dry.

The price is certainly right at $7.99 to $12.99 for the double pack.

I did buy mine at a discounted price, but think they are certainly worth the $7.99 price.

Diffuserlove 220ML Essential Oil Diffuser Aromatherapy Diffuser Humidifiers with 7 LED Color Choice with waterless Auto Shut-off.

Posted in Bathroom, Beauty products, Essential Oils, Mother's day, Valentine's DayTagged , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , 7 Comments

I do have one 220 ml Essential Oil Diffuser, and find it perfect for my bathroom.  I have several larger ones, but was so happy to get the Diffuserlove 220 ml. Essential Oil Diffuser, for my other bathroom.

These are great for any smaller rooms, and I would certainly recommend it.  So simple to use, as you can see in my video.  I did this in our office/bedroom, and apologize for the messiness of my desk.  If I put everything away, I don’t get to it.

There are only 2 buttons for the light/color, and the mist, so the simplest of products to use.  Mine is going to be running whenever I am home, so love the auto shut-off.  That’s saved all my diffusers over the years.

This one is a perfect price, at just $14.99 with Amazon Prime, so an inexpensive gift for that lady in your life.  Also great for gym rats like me.  I would hate for anyone to come  in my home, and it not smell wonderful.

I did receive my diffuser for free, and have been totally honest in my review of it.

HAIRESSENCE All Natural Hair Growth Biotin Vitamin Formula – Stronger Healthier Hair Supplement.

Posted in Beauty products, Hair products, healthTagged , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , 2 Comments

I am a firm believer in biotin supplements, so wanted to try the HAIRESSENCE All Natural Hair Growth Biotin Vitamin Formula Supplement.

First off I have to say, when opening the bottle, it was barely half full.  Why can’t companies use bottles, the correct size, for the enclosed product.  There are 60 capsules, and the directions are to take 2 a day.  Thus a 30 day supply.

If I hadn’t already been taking biotin, it would be hard to be honest, on a product that really takes around 30 days to start working.  However, these are similar to the ones I have been taking, so continue to make my hair soft, and shiny.  I still loose hair when I comb in, but it doesn’t brake

This is the product description from  the Amazon webpage:

‘Looking for a premium vitamin that is scientifically proven? HAIRESSENCE! BIOTIN prevents hair loss breakage promotes overall healthy hair & growth of your existing hair as well as new growth. MILLET EXTRACT contains linoleic acid miliacin & other plant sterols that are crucial for sustaining hair growth. It increases cell metabolism & stimulates cell proliferation and tissue regeneration – exactly what you want for restoring healthy hair. MCT POWDER provides a healthy fat source- With ZERO grams of carbs ZERO grams sugar MCT oil powder is the perfect way to add healthy fats to your diet to boost your nutrition. VITAMIN C is an antioxidant that enhances immune function at a cellular level to promote healthy hair skin. HAIRESSENCE also contains FOLATE NOT FOLIC ACID as used in other vitamins to promote the development of healthy DNA which controls healthy tissue growth & cell activity. VITAMIN B6 plays an important role in the absorption of sulphurated amino acids the building blocks of healthy hair. VITAMIN B12 is essential for red blood cell formation which carries oxygen to scalp & hair follicles. VITAMIN A is an antioxidant that promotes the formation and maintenance of healthy cells. VITAMIN D3 promotes the creation of new hair follicles and may “wake up” dormant follicles providing fuller more voluminous hair. THIAMIN VITAMIN E promotes lush strong hair. This supplement is great for all hair types. All of the ingredients, biotin, millet extract, MCT, Vitamin B6 and others have been carefully combined to make sure that you are getting appropriate amounts of vitamins that will enhance your health and not deficient of vitamins and minerals that are essential for hair growth.’

I do take Vitamin C, Folic Acid, Vitamin B Complex,

Vitamin D3 separately from this capsule, and notice that my nails are also in excellent condition.  Overall, I think the combination is  great for a healthy body too.

At age 70, I have to say that my hair looks good.  It has always been baby thin, and nothing can be done about that.  I don’t seem to have hair loss, apart from the few strands I have always lost each day.

I did receive this supplement at a discounted price, and am pleased with it.
