Hokonui Fitness Tracker, Activity Tracker with so much more, at a great price.

Posted in Fitness and Sports, gym, Outdoors activities, SportsTagged , , , , , , , , , , , 5 Comments

As I can average anywhere from 10,000 to 20,000 steps a day, I always wear a fitness tracker.  The latest one is the Hokonui Fitness Tracker, that tracks running, distance, calories, steps, heart rate, blood pressure, and sleep.

It comes with the instruction manual, which allows for an easy setup.  Just download the app on your phone, go to setting to make sure Bluetooth is on, and pair it.  You are all set to go.

I have been wearing mine for a few days now, and love that I can see all these features, as well as the time, day of the week, month, and year.  It looks smart, and has plenty of holes on the bracelet for any size wrist.  It is waterproof, and has a touch screen.  The fitness tracker can be used with either IOS or android.

There is so much information, and more to this product, that I am sharing this from the Amazon web-page:

  • ‘Multifunctional：24 hours Real-time Heart Rate Monitor, Blood Pressure Monitor, Step Pedometer, Calorie Burnt, Distance, Automatic Sleep Monitoring, Call Alert, Message Alert, Alarm Clock Alert, Goal Complete Alert, Sedentary Alert, Remote Camera Control, Activity Data Sharing and so on, help you adjust yourself for a healthier lifestyle.
  • Smart Reminder: Drink water, take medicine, study, appointments, walk the dogs, all the anniversaries and birthdays, currency conversions, and other high-frequency event tags. More effective than mobile phones, more intimate than the ordinary wristband.
  • Life Companion: IP67 Waterproof resistant, you can wear the fitness tracker when swimming and taking a shower. Receive call, calendar, SMS and SNS (Facebook, WhatsApp, LinkedIn, Instagram, and Twitter) notifications on display, never miss the messages that matter.
  • 10-Days Standby Time: Built-in 155mAh high-capacity battery, adopts the latest energy-saving technology, which can last for 15 days and 7-10 days of working time, 2 times longer than other fitness trackers. Compatible with Android 4.4 & iOS 8.0 or a higher OS based supports Bluetooth 4.0.
  • 1 Year Time Warranty: 12 months quality assurance, New Replacement or Refund without Return in 30 days. We are committed to improving product quality and reducing product defects. If there is any quality problem, please feel free to contact us, we will do our best to providing you a pleasant shopping experience.’

This fitness tracker has so much more to offer than many ones of similar price.  This is a must if you are on a budget, at only $35.99.  I was fortunate enough to receive mine for free, but have been totally honest in my review of it.

Once a year bloom.

Posted in garden, Outdoors activities, Writing9 Comments

Gardening in Florida isn’t easy, because the earth is sand. I use a lot of topsoil, and feed the plants often. All for a day like today. They bloomed.

Most likely they will droop by tomorrow, but then another plant will flower. Hopefully the rest will come out over the next couple of weeks.

I do miss my English garden, where I had crocus, daffodils, tulips, roses, pansies, and so many more.

However, I am happy to give up my garden, to live in the sunshine state.

What is gardening like where you live?

The Wisremt Women’s Short Sleeved Top is perfect for all occasions.

The WISREMT Women’s Short Sleeve Top Casual Striped T Shirt Tunic Blouse, is a great all round T – Shirt.  Yesterday I got to wear it to our local Eagle’s Club.  I wore it with smart leggings, and it looked great.

Then today I went to the Mall with my girlfriend.  We did a little walking, as my left leg is healing well, and then stopped off for a coffee.  She said to me, that she loved the top, and I told her that it comes in black, and gray too.  The sizes go from a small to an XX large.  This means it is great for anyone.

The top is a cotton/polyester material, so can be washed by hand, or a delicate cycle.  Once done I put it on a hanger, and when completely dry, it is ready to wear again.

This will be great for a weekend at the beach.  I will roll it up in the case, and then hang it up when I get there.  I can then wear it, and look great.

I did receive this top for free, and as you can see in my photos, have worn it, and tested it.  I am always honest in my reviews of products.

A walk in the Preserve.

Posted in Fitness and Sports, health, Outdoors activities, WritingTagged , , , , , , , 13 Comments

Today was a lazy day for us.  Yes, I do have them occasionally.  There were 2 excellent Premier League football matches on, so we stayed in.

This afternoon, I needed to get out of the house, and we decided on James E Grey Preserve, which is located in New Port Richey.  My girlfriend and I often walk it.  We do the whole walk 3 times, which takes around an hour.  With my husband having neuropathy of the feet, I figured we would do just the boardwalk, and back.

Although the temperature was 81 degrees, there were plenty of trees, and a good breeze.  A perfect day to walk.

I was happy that my husband managed to walk to the end, where it is covered with seating.  He rested for a few minutes, and chatted to a fellow Veteran, and then strolled back.

We didn’t get

to the dock area, as that was enough walking for him.  Hope you love the photos I took.

Beautiful Treasure Island beach.

I have really enjoyed our short stay at the beach.  If you are not aware of Treasure Island beach, it is between Clearwater, and St. Petersburg, on the west coast of Florida.

Both my husband and I are on the board of our timeshare, and had a meeting this morning.  I have been enjoying walking the beach, stretching, and doing some exercise while here.  I also love to walk in the water’s edge.

I got to wear a new bikini, that looks and feels really comfortable.  My husband took a couple of photos, of me, so wanted to share them with you.

Led Hat, Easily Adjustable Light Up Baseball Cap Flashing Bright Women/ Men Sport Hat

Posted in Clothing, Halloween, Lighting, Outdoors activities, Safety productsTagged , , , , , , , 2 Comments

I do a lot of walking, as well as working out, so was really interested in the LED Hat.  I figured it is a fun product, as well as being a safety product, if I am walking when it is dark.

It is black, and comes with blue, red, or green lights.  You can have them off, on, and flashing, slow or fast.  There is a more expensive version that can be charged up.  This one has a

CR2016 lithium battery in the brim of the hat.  You know where it is by the blue dot on the side.

The hat is suitable for older children, and adults, as it is adjustable at the back.

I like it, as I have long hair, and usually have it up.  My ponytail goes through the hole at the back.

I chose to write a review on this hat, and was not asked to do so, as per Amazon’s TOS.  I am not writing it on Amazon, but on my blog that I personally pay for, and do not have any paid advertisements on it.  The reason I am writing this is that, I do not want Amazon to close my account again, and say that I have violated their terms.

Noopel Personal Alarm 130DB with Keychain and LED Flashlight for Elderly/ Kids Tracker, Safety/Attack/Protection/ Panic/Self Defense Device, Bag Decoration

Posted in Flashlights, Outdoors activities, Safety productsTagged , , , , , , , , , , , , , , 2 Comments

My girlfriend and I go walking one morning a week, and often it is a nature trail.  Her husband is concerned about our safety, but she always says Sue is a boxer, and really strong, we will be fine.

I got the Noopel Personal Alarm 130DB with LED Flashlight, and panic alarm to make him happy.

So we went walking, and I put it on the side of my fanny-pack.  This is a perfect length for my hand, if I needed to press the alarm button, or pull up the top of it.  If you press the button, it only sounds while you are pushing it, but if you pull the pin/keychain out, it stays on until you put it back in.  On the opposite side of the alarm button, is the flashlight button.  This gives out a good light, when needed.

I like the design of the product, and it is loud.  However in an emergency I am not sure if it is loud enough to be heard a distance away.  If we were in the middle of the nature trail, I am sure that unless someone was close by, it wouldn’t help.

It is a deterrent, if someone was getting too close to you.  I do think they would make a quick exit, but I would rather have 911 on speed dial, if my life was threatened.

I did receive this personal alarm at a discounted price, and was not asked to write a review about it.

eSamcore Rechargeable LED Tactical Flashlight, eSamcore Water Resistant Flashlight with Safety Hammer and 18650 Battery & Charger [Zoomable] [1000 Lumens] [5 Modes] For Camping Outdoor Emergency

Posted in Car products, Father's day, Flashlights, Home and Outdoors, Lighting, Outdoors activities, Safety productsTagged , , , , , , , , , , , , , , 2 Comments

The more flashlights we have the better I like it, as I have one in the vehicle, and take one when I am on my own. Therefore I was pleased to receive the eSamcore Rechargeable Tactical LED Flashlight, which is a regular sized torch.

As with most good quality flashlights it is super bright with 1,000 lumens, is water-resistant, and has a safety hammer for breaking glass.

This flashlight allows you to have a bright light up close, and also at a distance. The modes are High, Low, Strobe, and SOS. You need to use a long press for the SOS mode.
This LED flashlight is tough, durable, and water resistant. Can be used with 1×18650 (included) battery or you can use 3 batteries (not included).

Having the tactical end allows me to walk when dark, and feel safe, having a weapon with me.  Love the hammer feature, as you never know when that might be needed.

All in all, this is a multipurpose flashlight, and everything you need comes in the carrying box.

I was extremely fortunate to get it at a discounted price, and am delighted with it.

Posted in Christmas, Easter, Lighting, Outdoors activities, Safety products, solar lights.Tagged , , , , , , , , , , , 1 Comment

The Sogrand 30 bulb Fairy Solar String Lights are perfect for the outside of a home.  These are 2 inch x 1 inch lights, are clear, and have a warm white/yellow color to them. The lights are commercial quality,
Being solar, all you do is put the stake in the ground, or they can be attached to a wall, and allow the sun to power them. Once done, flip the switch on the back of the solar panel to either Flashing, or ON. You can see in my video how pretty they look.

There are no plugs, wires, etc., and no further cost to you after buying them. That is what I love so much about solar lights. They help the environment too.
Thinking about the holiday season, you can never have too many lights, and I plan on having my front garden ablaze with Christmas lighting this year.

I love the Sogrand Crackle Glass Globe lights, and this set of 3 are no exception.  The glass is just beautiful, and all you have to do is push the stainless steel tube into the bulb, and the stake at the other end.

Put them in a sunny spot, and allow the free sunshine to save you energy costs.  Remove the isolator tab under the cap, and you are all set.

The colors are just gorgeous, and they change from red, orange, green, blue, rose, purple, etc.  All the photos I took at night, the flash came on, and so you can’t see them, but they do show up in the video.  My husband took the one from a distance, so managed one with color.

I can’t imagine anyone not wanting these dazzling lights, that really are magical.  Right now they are a promotional price of only $11.99, so it would be a perfect time to stock up.

I feel that they are a security product, as well as environmental friendly.  The lights are also an all weather product too.

I did receive mine for free, but am thinking of buying some for gifts.
