Yoga Socks Review

Image
FUN TOES Toe Socks for Men - Barefoot Running Socks Made for Toe Shoes - Keep Feet Dry, Reduce Risk of Blisters - Value Pack of 6 Pairs - Sock Size 10 Sold by:  Arg group After reviewing these socks, I have determined that they are more appropriately sized for my wife.  We both tried them to see who they would be more suited for. My wife has the following to say about them, "Yoga socks great for yoga.  Better traction than sweaty feet or regular socks."  "They are a little tight around the toes." I found them to be tight around the toes.  In the images you can see that they caused indentations in my two smallest toes on each foot. I wear size 11 men's shoe My wife wears size 9.5 women's shoe. I received this product for free in-exchange for a fair and honest review. When they originally arrived one pair was missing and the supplier sent me another pair.  Great customer service.

Delusion

I often wonder what to Do, when I am here. After many years of Hearing answers Of how great this place is. For most here they think hours of driving is close And that other place's attractions are theirs. Last of all, I Long to live in the other places that this place claims So that I can find fun, without delusion (c) Brady L.B. 2015

Levels of Guitar Review

Image
Levels of Guitar has two levels of monthly member ship.  If you find that you are above that of beginner then go for intermediate.  Intermediate level has everything in beginner level plus more lessons at intermediate level. This online lesson program is in depth and has helped me learn more than by books alone.  I have always had a problem with how to hold a guitar and I tried my best to follow what the books told me on how to hold it, but was always tiring.  The beginning lesson tells you what to do and why and how to prevent fatigue. I really like this program and am glad that I got it. I received this product for free in-exchange for a fair and honest review. https://www.levelsforguitar.com/#choose-level/ #Levelsforguitar

GoPro Selfie Stick Review

Image
NEW HD GoPro Selfie Stick & Tripod: Professional Quality, #1 Rated Selfie Stick Package with 2-in-1 Action Tripod Attachment and Bluetooth Remote | He Sold by:  Lifestyle Designs Inc With so many selfie sticks out there you have to wonder which one to buy.  The truth that you have to look at the qualities that you want in the selfie stick and which quality that you want the most.  Some of the main qualities that I look at are: price; sturdiness; versatility; and free add-ons such as tripod stand, phone holder, GoPro attachments, shutter controls, regular camera attachments. This selfie stick sits on the expensive side, but it is sturdy and has many components that come with it.  The tripod and the selfie stick has the standard screw that is used in the bottom of many regular cameras.  The tripod attaches to the bottom of the selfie stick with that standard screw.  The tripod is also stiff in its rotation ball, so it will allow a DSLR camera on top of the selfi

Superb Wood Chess Set by Chess Armory

I really like playing chess with my kids and when I got this chess set they only wanted to play with this set. I received this product for a reduced price in-exchange for a fair and honest review.

FlipStir Puzzle Review

Image
FlipStir Puzzle - Solar System sold by: Enlivenze I received this great puzzle and it took me a little time to figure out how to play.  Once I figured out how to play I was able to solve the puzzle in 3-10 minutes depending on how easily the pieces moved. Enlivenze ask that I answer some questions ( Enlivenze's question : My answer) Play Patter : repeat movement and time ... easier than a Rubix cube Interest for different ages :  People of all ages would be interested in this game/puzzle.  But to solve it you must have enough hand eye coordination to move the blocks. Family Toy : yes Would I use it in the following places : travel - fun for a few minutes, but can be too noisy in the car school - too noisy office - can be too noisy for the office home - fun little toy to pick up and use for a few minutes Value for money : a little expensive when compared to a cheap Rubix cube.  Similar in price to more expensive Rubix cubes.

Stainless Steel Steamer Review

Image
Sunsella 100% Stainless Steel Vegetable Steamer Sold by:  Sunsella This vegetable steamer works great for steaming small amount of vegetables.  It is made of stainless steel.  When you open and close this product you need to be careful so you don't damage the steamer (The hinges on the product are stiff and the metal leafs are thin). After you steam your vegetables the metal steamer is going to be hot, so before you start make sure that you have access to the ring in the center for removal from the pot/pan.  After the steamer has had some time to cool, it can also be used as a small plate.

Kuuk Garlic Press Review

Image
Kuuk Stainless Steel Garlic Press, Mincer - Silver Sold by:  iHeadphones_Inc This garlic press works better than other garlic presses I have tried in the past.  It provides a better mincing capability and leaves less in the screen.  This allows you to better utilize your fresh garlic in your meals vs. just flushing some or most of your garlic down the drain/garbage. This Garlic Press has three parts that rotate around connection pin.  Because all three parts rotate around the connection pin and cannot be removed, it makes it harder to clean when compared to other models where the screen piece can be removed.

Small Practico cutting board review

Image
Small Premium Bamboo Cutting Board and Serving Tray with Juice Groove - 8 x 6 inches Sold by:  Pratico Goods I like this cutting board. It is made of nice strong bamboo and is very sturdy. The bamboo cutting surface protects the cutting edge of your knife. The size of the cutting board helps during the cutting process in the following ways: • The weight prevents the cutting board from moving around • It has a small cutting surface so you don't have to worry about space when cutting small items • It has a grove around the edge that will catch small amounts of juice run off from your cutting event.

Nice Beginners Art Set Review

Image
US Art Supply Wood Easel Box Set with 12 Colors, Canvas, 2-Brushes, Plastic Palette & Palette Knives (Acrylic Paint Kit) Sold by: TCP Global Corp This is a really nice paint set.  It comes with a nice variety of materials and has what you need as a starter painting kit.  I used this kit to paint "Life in the Green" as seen in the image. Highlights: *The easel has many cross bracings to allow for small canvas to be painted on it. *The easel does not have a lip on the shelf.  I find lips on the easel shelves can cause restrictions in painting the bottom of the canvases. *The brushes have nice bristles, long handles for distant painting, and natural wood color handles *Paints are vibrant in color *The perfect size of draw to store your painting supplies. Problems I have had with this set: *The paint draw was too tight, it required some sanding to allow the drawer to move in and out easily *All the paints have a metallic/heavy metal/iron

Essential table top easel review

Image
US Art Supply Table Top Aluminum Artist & Display Easel (Large - Single Arm) Sold by: TCP Global Corp This product is light and made of strong aluminum.  The tray is 1 inch deep by 16 inches long and has a 1/4 inch front lip running the whole length of the tray.  The lip does not cause any problems unless you have a canvas that greater than 3/4 inch in depth.  3/4 inch to 1 inch in depth it hinders the ability to paint to the bottom of the canvas.  The one I got measured 22 inches from the center of the tray to the tip of the arm.  Due to the A frame type back I would not use it on a canvas that is much smaller than a 8 x 10 inch. This easel holds my canvases nicely and the covered feet prevent it from slipping while I am painting on it.  I like how it is light and compact.  It allows me to be able to sit down at a table to not worry about if I am going to hit the legs of the easel, because it is sitting on top of my table. I received this product for free in-exc

Black Civil War Cavalry Western Style Cowboy Hat Review

Image
Black Civil War Cavalry Western Style Cowboy Hat Sold by:  SSAA Accessories  I normally were a 7 5/8 (3X Beaver) hat.  This hat is slightly tight on my head.  That being said, the soft elastic on the inside of the hat allows it to be worn as different hat sizes.  It fits nicely on my kids heads because of the elastic.  In my opinion this hat is made for those that need a hat size 7 5/8 (3X Beaver) or smaller.  If you are towards the 7 5/8 (3X Beaver) expect it to be tight. The hat is made from a thick soft black material.  The hat appears to be of good quality material. As you can see form my images that the hat does not exactly match the images provided by the seller.  It did not come with vent holes, the tassels are different, and the crown is shaped differently.

Superb collection of canvas boards review

Image
US Art Supply® Professional Quality Medium Canvas Panel Assortment Pack - Great for Students and Professional Artists (24 Total Panels) - 6 each 5"x7" Sold by: TCP Global Corp This very nice canvas set give you a great variety of canvas to draw or paint on.  These canvas boards lay flat and have been nicely primed. The back of the canvas boards have a label that is easy to write on.  The back label provides space for the following 5 items: title, artist, medium, signature, and date.  I find this useful, because sometimes I forget to include the medium indication when I have finished my art. The thickness of the canvas boards measure at 5/32 inch based on my calipers. This set comes with: 6 - 5"x7" 6 - 8"x10" 6 - 9"x12" 6 - 11"x14" I received this product for free in-exchange for a fair and honest review.

The must have ice cream spoon review

Image
Long Handle Bistro Style Stainless Steel Ice Cream and Milkshake Spoon (8 Pack) Sold by:  ClockworkCornucopia These spoons measure about 8 and 3/4" in length.  This is the perfect length to reach into those deep cups without getting your hands messy.  The small spoon head allows for better reach into the corners of the cup, while still allowing for a spooning ability.  I think the spoon head is the perfect size for eating ice-cream. When eating ice-cream you don't want too big of a spoon for the following reasons: -you go through your ice-cream too fast (smaller head slows you down) -eating ice-cream too fast causes brain freeze I received this product for free in-exchange for a fair and honest review.

Fine art paint brush review

Image
US Art Supply Golden Taklon 7-Piece Nylon Hair Artist Paint Brush Set Sold by: TCP Global Corp This paintbrush set comes with 7 soft nylon bristles. The nylon bristles provide nice smooth distribution of paint. The handles are just the right size to hold in one hand without too much handle hanging out either side of your hand. I find that these shorter handles provide better control when you want to hold the paintbrush close to the head. The handle is painted with a deep red. I personally like wood colored paint brush handles, but colored handles work just fine. The brushes contained in the packet did not match what was indicated as coming in the packet (two of the brushes were different). Size of paint brushes indicated that comes in the packet: flat shader size #2,flat shader size #6, round size #2,round size #4 ,liner size #2/0,flat angular shader 1/4",wash 3/4" Size of paint brushes that came in my packet (based on the number on the paintbrush and

Essential Microfiber Hair Towel Review

Image
Luxe Beauty Essentials Plush Microfiber Hair Towel 19 X 39 Inches in White. Sold by:  Healthy Life Essentials I like microfiber towel because they provide great cleaning/drying abilities while providing minimal weight for the towel. I measured the dimensions of the towel that I received and got: 19 inches by 38.5 inches. I gave this product to my wife to try out and this is what she has to say about it: "This towel is handy cute device.  It dries my hair just about the same as a regular bath towel worn turban style without all the extra bulk and need for balance on one's head.  Just so you know my hair is considered both fine and medium length." "This towel would not work very well for those with long hair." The towel came with a card that indicated that I could get a free hand towel if I followed its instruction.  I followed the instructions and have not received the hand towel.  It has been two week from the time I completed the inst
