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.

Tsumbay 8GB Digital Voice Recorder Wristband Audio Recorder Wrist Watch USB Rechargeable Sound Recording Bracelet Dictaphone for Lecture Meeting Interview Classes

Posted in gifts, Office Products, technologyTagged , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , 3 Comments

I had never seen the Tsumbay Digital Voice Recorder Watch before, and am so delighted to have it.  It is 8 G.B. that gives approximately 140 hours of recording time, when fully charged.

It comes in 4, 8, and 16 gigs.  The center easily comes out, so that it can be charged in a USB port.  This I did, and then put it back into the watch strap.  There are plenty of holes in the strap so it fits from small to large wrists.

It has one button recording, which makes it so easy to use.  I pushed the silver button forward to the ON position, and said ‘Testing, testing’.  I then pushed it to the off position.

Next I

took it out of the watch strap, and inserted the USB end into my laptop, and the other end into the recorder.  Up came a screen on my laptop allowing me to listen to it.

I am on a timeshare board, and have done Secretary four times this year, so when this happens again, I can just switch on my watch, and have the meeting recorded.

It comes in several colors: black, blue, yellow, green, purple, and rosy.

From the webpage:

‘Long Recording Time. Powered by 3.7V 110mAh rechargeable Polymer battery, it can work up to about 20 hours after being fully charged by USB charging cable which is provided.

Easy Operation. With only one on&off button to operate, you just need to push the button to ¡°on¡± position, and the indicator light will change from red to white to show the recording is in process.’

I did receive this at a discount, and am so glad that I was able to test it, and will be using it often.

Nelly Aura Mock Neck Tunic Fashion Shirt Dress Long Sleeveless Swing Top – MADE IN USA – All Sizes + Colors

Posted in Clothing, dressesTagged , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , 10 Comments

The day I received this dress, I knew that I wanted to wear it dancing, and so I did.  The Nelly Aura Mock Neck Tunic Shirt Dress was exactly what I was looking for.

It comes in 4 colors Marsala, Black, Sage, and Denim Blue.  I chose the Marsala in small.  It goes up to a 3 X Plus.  The fabric is 95% Rayon and 5% Spandex, and is made in the U.S.A.  It should be a cold hand wash, and hang, or line dry.

First off, this is the softest material I have worn.  It was to comfortable to dance in.  It has a slight flair, that showed when I was doing the swing, and twisting.

The neck is so pretty, with the choker going around the neck, then the open space to show off your neck, and finally the flowing dress.

From the webpage: ‘MADE IN USA PREMIUM FABRICS: Made with our signature 95% Rayon and 5% Spandex. When we manufacture plus size tunic dresses we have a reputable brand of quality to maintain. We never settle for anything but the best. Premium quality fabrics is what our customers recognize us for and therefore, keep coming back. Be sure to know that all womens plus size fashion dresses manufactured in our USA factory, are handmade to perfection, no loose threads, just perfect and ready to look great.’

I haven’t washed it yet, but really want to take care of this beautiful dress.  I did receive it at a discounted price, and wanted to share with you,

how gorgeous it is.

For Severe Dry Cracked Heels Urea Cream 20% – Intensive Fast Healing -Safe For Diabetics – Exfoliates Thick Dead Skin On Heels, Feet, Hands & Elbows Too – Soothes, Softens, Hydrates, Renews 3.6 oz

Posted in healthTagged , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , 2 Comments

My husband has been a diabetic for 43 years, and has neuropathy of the feet.  This causes pain, numbness, tingling, cracking, and sometimes open sores.  That is why I keep trying new creams for him.

The day we received this cream I passed it over to him.  He had a couple of sores on the bottom of one foot, and both of them look cracked.  As you can see in the photos, there has been much improvement.

The cream is fairly thick, and a small amount is plenty for each foot.  It rubs in easily, and isn’t greasy.  Hubby wears socks 24/7 as his feet have

little circulation, and this keeps them warm.

He has tried R/x medications, and they don’t help his feet.  I am pleased that the Foot Finish Ultra Moisturizing Cream with Urea, has at least helped with the cracking, and sores.

I did receive this item at a discount, and chose to write a review about it.

Solar Lights, Sogrand Outdoor Garden Path Light,Warm White LED Pathway Lighting for Patio Yard Walkway Pack of 4

Posted in Christmas, garden, holidays, Home and Outdoors, Lighting, Outdoors activities, Safety productsTagged , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , 11 Comments

When we were staying at the shelter, as Hurricane Irma came across Florida, is was nice to know that the Sogrand Outdoor Solar Lights were protecting our property. I know that they were, because the night of our return, they lit up.

Solar lights are amazing, and these are no exception.  They come complete in the box.  The 4 bulbs with the solar panels on the top, the center poles, and the stakes.

I put these along the patio a couple of days before the hurricane hit, so they had received plenty of sunshine to charge the solar panels.  All I had to do was turn the switch under the panel, to the On position.

These are a warm LED white, which gives an almost yellow glow to them.

The bulb area is plastic, and I can tell you that they withheld hurricane winds, so when they say that they are:

  • ‘ALL WEATHER DURABILITY :These heavy duty solar pathway lights can withstand a wide range of weather conditions, including rain,

    snow, wind, and hot or cold temperatures.’

I can honestly say that they do.

I did receive mine for free, and as said above, these have really been put to the test, and passed with glowing colors.

Moreslan USB Audio Adapter, External USB Stereo Sound Card with 3.5mm Speaker/Headphone and Microphone for Windows, Mac, Linux, Chrome, Plug and Play, No External Drivers

Posted in Office Products, technologyTagged , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , 10 Comments

We love to watch our English programs on Amazon’s Britbox, and sometimes the sound isn’t as good as we would like.  I figured that the Moreslan USB Audio Plug and Play Adapter, with speaker may give me better sound performance.

The answer is ‘Yes’.  I plugged it into my Windows 10 laptop, found one of my English soaps, and Eastenders came blaring into my headphones.  I then tried another favorite program, Coronation Street, and couldn’t believe the quality of the opening music.  When the program continued I could even hear the rustle of clothing, when someone was walking.  Just amazing.

There are several programs my husband doesn’t like watching, so I plan on using this little gem often with my headphones

.

For those that like more technical information, this is from the Amazon webpage:

‘Convert a USB port into two 3.5 mm audio ports – Audio input (microphone) + audio output (speakers or headphones)

USB 2.0 Hi-Speed specification; No drivers required and no complicated setup, just plug it in compact, portable adapter can be used anywhere 

USB External Stereo Sound Adapter has a flexible audio interface, which can be used with either computer or laptop system.

Compatible with Win7, Win8, Win XP, Vista, Mac, Linux.’

I will use it with my new microphone as well, and then plan on updating this review. Right now I am trying to catch up after Hurricane Irma, but am really missing my writing.

I did receive this item at a discount, and wanted to share how much I am loving it.

Zida Women’s Workout Wirefree Racerback with Removable Cup Yoga Sports Bra

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

I have a whole bunch of sports bras, and most of them feel uncomfortable, after a few hours.  I have to say that the Zida workout racerback bra is cooler, and more comfortable than others. 

I love the narrow straps, that don’t show under my racer-back tops, especially at the back.  It is made of 73% polyester, and 27% spandex, that allows for a good stretch. It easily goes over my head, and pulls over my boobs.  It is a more lightweight than my others, but holds me in well.

I tend to sweat a lot when boxing/kick boxing, and lifting weights, but as the Zida bra is: ‘ Four way stretch professional sportswear fabric with moisture-wicking, and quick-dry performance always ensure you perfect fit. Inner cotton with Lyrca fabric gives you ultra comfort feeling, second-skin fit’.

I so agree that this is a perfect bra that allows for movement, but doesn’t completely confine you.  It has mesh fabric at the back under the strap, that helps to keep you dry.  There are no wires, but does have cups.  The inside is a nice soft cotton. It comes in 2 different designs.

As you can tell, I really like this bra, and am delighted to have received it for free.

Heading off to a shelter to get away from Hurricane Irma, but taking the Moreslan Mini Portable Microphone, Condenser Stereo Microphone for iPhone, iPad Tablet and Android with me.

We had planned to go to the shelter today, but I will be driving us up to the Medical Needs shelter, first thing tomorrow morning.  As  well as linens, toiletries, and change of clothing, they suggest taking something to keep you occupied.

That’s why I am taking the Moreslan Mini Portable Microphone, with me.  It has a 90 degree swivel so that you can have it directly to your lips.  It is so easy, you just plug in and play.  I am taking my headphones with me as it has a  Y Splitter Cable, which can be used for inserting headphones for monitoring.

From the webpage:

  • ‘Great compatibility: Suitable for your devices like smartphone with Android and IOS system, Apple iPad, iPhone, Macbook etc.
  • Innovative Design: this product is made of aluminium alloy materials. It has an exquisite and fashionable appearance.’

I have tested it out already, but will enjoy it more, once I can relax at the shelter, and have fun with fellow evacuees.

I did receive this at a discounted price, and chose to write a review about it.  So far I am very happy with it.  Love how small it is.

SUIEK Minimalist Slim Wallet RFID Leather Front Pocket Wallet Thin Credit Card Holder

Posted in Christmas, Father's day, gifts, holidays, Men's accessories, RFID Wallets and Cards, Safety productsTagged , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , 2 Comments

Keeping safe is so important nowadays, and especially here in Florida, with the hurricane close by.  Therefore it is great that my husband has the SUIEK Minimalist Slim Wallet RFID Leather Front Pocket Wallet/Thin Credit Card Holder.

We have our names down for a Medical Special Needs Shelter, and I would be very reluctant to have all our paperwork, green cards, social security cards, as well as the main ones we keep in our wallets not secure.

This wallet, like the kinzd ones, will protect our identity, and credit card numbers.

From the Amazon website:

  • Crazy Horse Full Grain Leather
  • Credit Holder Size Approximately: 4.4″ x 3.15″ x 0.12″
  • 6 card slots, 1 ID window, 1 money/receipt pocket
  • RFID Shielding – Blocking will be effective for contactless new Credit/Debit Cards as well as HID i Class newer cards. Does Block 13.56 MHz Frequency (Does NOT Block 125 KHz frequency)

It is really thin, but roomy enough to get several cards in, money, and also a driver’s license.

It comes in a beautiful presentation box, and is a perfect gift for that man in your life.  Actually for the lady too as these fit so well in fanny packs, waist bags, and purses.

I did receive mine for free, and have been totally honest in my review.
