LEOPHILE EEL Wireless Neckband Headphones Sports IP67 Waterproof, Bluetooth 4.1 Stereo Headset with In-Ear Earbuds Earphones for RUNNING & WORKING

When I look for headphones, I always check that they are Sports, and look comfortable.  That is what I liked when I checked out the LEOPHILE EEL Wireless Headphones, IP67 Waterproof, Bluetooth 4.1 Stereo Headset.

I read the Instruction Manual, but found it simpler to just follow the instructions on the webpage: ‘How to pair: Please hold the middle button for about 7 seconds until you see red & white lights flashes alternately.
Then you turn on Bluetooth on your phone or other devices, search for a device named LEOPHILE EEL and then connect it’.  It worked immediately for me.

I can truly test a product to see how well in performs for comfort, and sweat, as I am at the gym every day.  When I am boxing the sweat pours off of me.  They stood up to the sweat test.  When I was lifting weights, doing lunges, and burpees, I couldn’t feel them, and they didn’t move.  So, yes, they are comfortable.

When spending $50 on headphones, you really need to know the specifications, so again from the website:
Weight: 36 g (1.26 oz)
Bluetooth version: 4.1
Operating range: Up to 10 m/33 ft
Talk/Music time: Up to 10 hours
Standby time: Up to 300 hours/12 days
Charging time: 2 hours.

If you have Siri or Google Now, you don’t even have to use the controls, as you can give commands via the microphone.

The sound quality is excellent for me, a

nd when I spoke to my friend, she said that it was really clear.  I don’t listen to music in the shower, but it says that you can do that.  I am very happy with them, especially the length of time you can use them, when fully charged.  Also you can tuck them in a pocket, as they bend into any shape, and it doesn’t hurt them.

I did receive mine for free, and spent several days testing them, before writing my review.

I try to be the fittest, and healthiest I can be, so workout every day.  Afterwards I have a protein shake.  I am always interested in trying anything new, so wanted to check out the Grass-Fed Collagen Peptides Custom Anti-Aging Hydrolyzed Protein Powder.  It is for healthy hair, skin, joints, and nails.

The price of $15.99 for a large 1.5 pound jar seemed very reasonable.

I opened the jar, and am pleased to say it has little smell to it.  I am glad that I found the scoop right down the bottom, as it is much smaller than other scoops I have.

I had read reviews that people didn’t like the taste, so decided to try it with my usual whey protein chocolate shake powder, and sliced banana.  The taste was really good. I did notice that it didn’t completely dissolve the first time, so had the blender on for

longer the next day.

The serving is 2 scoops, once or twice a day.  I always start off slowly, so have been using half a scoop for the first 3 days, and upped it to a scoop these past couple of days.

It is too soon to say if it is working for me, but I am going to continue taking it, and will get to 2 scoops a day.  I really like this product, and hope that it will improve my health, and well being.

There is a lot more information on the Amazon site, and I have put the link, just below this.

I did receive this product at a discounted price, and wrote a quick review, but will update it, if and when I notice a difference.

Organifi Complete Protein (1215g) – Best Tasting Organic Protein and Vitamin Shake – Vegan, Plant-Based Protein Powder – Nutritious Meal Replacement – Chocolate Flavored – 30 Day Serving

Posted in Fitness and Sports, healthTagged , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , 4 Comments

I have a protein shake most days, after working out.  That is why I couldn’t wait to try the Organifi Complete Protein Organic Protein Vitamin Shake.

I have to be honest, and tend to buy any kind that is on sale, and if not, then Wal-Mart’s own brand.  So I was wanting to know why this organic protein was 4 times the

price of generic brands.

I have to say that it isn’t the taste.  I am not overly keen on the chocolate flavor. That is why I add fat free milk, half a banana, Spirulina, and some cocoa powder to it. This tastes good.

I am lucky as I don’t need a special diet, so the dairy is good for my bones.

From the website: ‘As you know, a high protein meal can boost your metabolism and give you more energy. What’s more, getting your daily vitamins and minerals may strengthen your immune system. Normally, it does take time to make an organic meal with the protein and nutrients you need. Few people want to wake up early to make juices or smoothies day after day. Instead, this simple, five-second-solution is easy to make and EASIER to add to your routine.’

I am very happy using this product, and as it contains 2.68 pounds, it will last me a long time.  It certainly stops my hunger, after boxing and lifting weights, so am pleased that I have it.

I received this product at a discount, and didn’t pay the full price for it.  To me, it is more expensive than I feel comfortable paying.  However, if you are a Vegan, then this is the product for you..

HBUDS H1 Sport Wireless Bluetooth Headphones w/ True HD Stereo & Mic, IPX7 Waterproof rating for Running, Gym, Working Out, 9 Hours Battery Noise Cancellation Earphones

Posted in Fitness and Sports, gifts, Home and Outdoors, Outdoors activities, technologyTagged , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , 2 Comments

I have several sets of wireless headphones, but I have to say that the sound quality of the HBUDS H1 Sport Wireless Bluetooth Headphones, is far superior to my other ones.

It states that they are ‘True HD Stereo, and Microphone, and that is certainly correct. I was listening to Elvis Presley radio, on Pandora, and put one of the earbuds up to my husband’s ear.  He too was blown away with the sound quality.

They come in a beautiful presentation box, with the User’s Manual, a USB cable, 8 spare earbuds, and the Earphones.  You can check out my video to see all of these items.

I had my smartphone on, and checked that the Bluetooth was on.  Then I pressed the power button for 3 seconds, and it found the HBUDS H1.  I then pressed it on my phone to pair them together.  Once done, my headphones told me “Power On”, and “Connected”.  So simple that anyone can do it.

The rest of the instructions are in the manual, and very easy to understand.

Taken from the website:

  • ‘SUPERIOR TRUE HD SOUND – Hbuds wireless earbuds use Bluetooth 4.1 CSR with aptX technology that enhances the sound quality with deep bass and rich crystal-clear treble and fast pairing with any Bluetooth enable devices.
  • NOISE ISOLATION TECHNOLOGY – CVC noise cancellation 6.0 technology reduces outside noises, ear-tips are design to expand to farther reduce external noise and built-in microphone lets you chat without any interference.’

I wanted the HBUDS H1 Earphones as they are waterproof.  I go to the gym every day, mainly boxing/kick boxing. lifting weights, Zumba, and circuit training.  After a boxing session the sweat is pouring off of me, and I needed a product, that can deal with it.  I also do gardening 3 evenings a week, here in Florida, and again love to listen to my music, take phone calls, and know that they won’t let me down.

I have been testing them in all situations, and can honestly say, that they are a superior product.

I received these for free, and chose to write a review of them.

Viva Naturals Spirulina Powder: California-Grown, Non-GMO, Non-Irradiated and Pesticide-Free — The FINEST Green Superfood for Smoothies and Juices , 8 oz.

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

I have been taking Spirulina powder now for a couple of years, and really think it helps me.  I first found out about it at a seminal at my gym, and tried it straight away.  So when I had a chance to receive the Viva Naturals Spirulina Powder from California I wanted to use it.

I love that it is non-GMO, non-Irradiated, and Pesticide Free.  It comes in a big 8 ounce size jar.

I have a protein shake for lunch each day.  That is after I have done either boxing/kick boxing, and weights, Zumba and machines, or circuit training.  I have 8 ounces of fat free milk, 2 scoops of protein shake, half a banana, and 1 teaspoon of Spirulina in my blender.

The Spirulina does turn the shake green, but that is fine with me.  I can’t taste it at all, so have no idea what it really tastes like.

‘Viva Naturals Spirulina Powder is an all-in-one nutrition powerhouse that adds a boost of antioxidants, protein, iron and vitamin A’.  This with the other supplements my trainer suggests, give me a well balance diet, and I feel the healthiest, and fittest that I have ever been.  Not bad for a 69 year old.

I did receive this product at a discounted price, and am really pleased to write a review, about a product that I truly believe in.

Fitackle Running Belt Waist Pack, Water Resistant Fanny Pack Runners Belt Outdoor Sports Gear for iPhone 6/6S Plus 7/7 Plus Samsung Galaxy S7 S8

Posted in beach, Clothing, Fitness and Sports, Outdoors activities, Phone accessories.Tagged , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , 2 Comments

I have been at the beach for a few days, so decided to test the Fitackle Water Resistant Waist Pack/Fanny Pack.  Usually it would be at the gym, but feel that walking several miles a day, sweating in the sun, carrying lots of items, was a great test for it.

As you can see from my photos, I was only wearing a bikini, so needed to put my Galaxy Samsung J7 phone in it, the keys for the apartment, a Kleenex, lip balm, and a couple of candies.  No problem they all fitted with plenty of room to spare.

It has the main compartment, with 3 sections in it.  Then one at each side.  The left one has a Velcros top to keep items safe, the other side has a slit pocket.  It has plenty of waistband, so will fit the majority of sizes.  The clasp was a little tight to begin with, but that is a good thing.

It is made of Lycra, lightweight, durable, and water resistant.  It also comes with a lifetime warranty, which certainly makes you feel good.

I personally feel that it looks smart, is a quality product, and can be worn almost anywhere.  I will be using it at the gym, and it has a hole to put a cable through, if you are using earphones.

I did receive this item at a discount, and have really tested it, before writing my review.

TNT Pro Ignite Stomach Fat Burner Body Slimming Cream With HEAT Sweat Technology – Thermogenic

Posted in Beauty products, Fitness and Sports, healthTagged , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , 12 Comments

I love working out, and have a great back, shoulders, and muscles in my arms, and legs.  However, I still have a small stomach, and don’t have a 6, 4, or 2 pack.

I had a chance to try the TNT Pro Ignite Stomach Fat Burner Body Slimming Cream.  It has heat sweat technology, and I had nothing to loose trying it.

So this past week, I have been applying a good amount on my stomach, just before working out.  I sweat when I am boxing, and kick boxing, but not normally with other exercise.  So before Zumba, lifting weights, circuit training, and walking at the beach, I put a generous amount on my stomach.  It has a mint smell, which disappears fairly quickly.  It doesn’t have any color to it, and won’t stain clothing.

I find that I sweat more on my stomach now, and am hoping that in a month’s time, I can update this review with my results.  The first week has been good, but I can’t possibly be 100% positive, until I see physical results.  Either in photos, or with a tape measure.

This is so easy to use, and I am delighted to test it, and come back to you, with my results.

I did receive this product for free, and as you can see from my review, I always give an honest review.  I will be added to this one.

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

Posted in Clothing, Fitness and SportsTagged , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , 4 Comments

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 I hold the tongue of the shoe up.  They are really comfortable, and look great.

I did receive the 2 pairs of laces at a discount, but would happily have paid the $9.97 with Amazon Prime

 

, as you can pay that for 1 pair.

Shakecy Protein Shaker Bottle 20 oz with Protein Powder Storage – 16,000 RPM High Torque Blender Bottle and Rechargeable USB Battery.

Posted in Fitness and Sports, Home productsTagged , , , , , , , , , , 11 Comments

I used to be really happy with my individual size blender, that I plugged into an outlet, and made my protein shakes.  Now I am delighted with the Shakecy Protein Shaker Bottle Blender, that you recharge every so often via the USB cable.

I chose the red, and as you can see in my photos, it looks elegant, and has everything I could possibly need.  As well as the bottle, you also have a great top that seals well. Then there is a little clear container that sits in the bottle.  This is where you can put your protein powder until you want to make your shake.

On the front it has the logo, and at the back it has the liquid measurements.  On the red part at the bottom, you have the on switch, and at the back is where you charge it up.

As I workout 7 days a week, I make a shake most days.  I always have whey protein in it, and I like bananas or strawberries.  Sometimes I add decaffeinated coffee, and fat free milk.  Whatever combination I make, I have found it really easy to make with this fast, efficient shaker/blender.

It also comes in silver, and is a higher price than a small blender, but you get the 16,000 rpm motor that is far better than the average blender.

I did receive mine for free, and have been using it every day since receiving it.  It works with everything I have added to my shakes.

Tiagogear Tennis Elbow Brace with Compression Pad (2-Pack) – Perfect Band for Tennis & Golfer’s Elbow Pain / Tendonitis Relief – Bonus Sweat Wristband Included

Posted in Fitness and Sports, health, Outdoors activitiesTagged , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , 6 Comments

Even when I have pain, I will not miss my time working out.  Therefore I have all kinds of braces to ensure I don’t injure myself, or make my pain worse.  This is why I wanted the Tiagogear Tennis Elbow Brace with Compression pad.

There are 2 in the pack, and they really have

a good firm compression pad, that you can make as tight as you wish.  When you first try it, it is on a large setting, but I opened up the Velcros, and pulled it tight, and the closure fitting great.

I only need it for my left arm, so have a spare one.  It is so nice to get two.  It also comes with a sweat wristband that matches.

From the Amazon website: ‘HIGH QUALITY MADE TO LAST: 65% Neoprene / 35% Nylon. Neoprene reinforcement prevents Velcro from rubbing or cutting into skin. Extra durable design made to LAST & WORK!  

RELIEVES & PREVENTS THAT NAGGING TENNIS OR GOLFER’S ELBOW PAIN: Tennis elbow brace / band helps prevent the strain of an overloaded tendon (tendinitis) in your elbow. It also relieves the pain of an already strained muscle by applying targeted compression.’

I love prevention, so when my elbow starts to nag me, out comes the compression pad/brace.

This has a lifetime guarantee, so this is a win, win, product for a sport’s person.

I did receive this at a discounted price, and as I have used it, wanted to write a review.
