Leather Travel Backgammon Set


     At our home we like to have "game night", where we put away the cell phones and tablets and other electronic items and sit down as a family and play board games (Full Disclosure: we may or may not enjoy a movie while playing).  We at the time of writing this usually have a game night once every two weeks.  We are trying to get back to doing this one a week as we used to do about a year or so ago.  This is a great way to be able to socialize with individual family members and really get to know each other.
In Package & Out
     There are four of us in the household and there are a lot of games that are made for a minimum of four people, so it is nice to be able to bring this item to your attention.  This is a Leather Travel Backgammon Set which really only needs two players to play.  This is nice and small and doesn't have tons of pieces so it is easy to set up and also put away when done playing.
     The thing that is really nice is that the portability of this item is great to be able to take on the road and also share when you visit friends or relatives.  Although it is not required as a reader of this blog I would encourage everyone to "unplug" and "connect" with the family and friends over a board game and have your own game night. 
Unrolled Showing Features
     This backgammon set is nice and compact and all the pieces store in the zipper pouch so you don't have to worry about losing any pieces during the travel.  The zipper pouch also is removable via three snaps, so you can utilize the full game board.  The board being made out of leather makes it so you know it will last a long time.  The classic black color of the leather is pleasing as well.  It may be hard to tell from the photos but it is black leather.  The way it was photographed is has a brownish look, but to the naked eye it is a nice deep black color.
     Unfortunately this game dosen't come with instructions, but if you watch the video review below I have included to links to learn how to play.  One is text based and the other is in video format.  I would recommend you print out directions and then you can roll them up into the game till you get familiar with how to play the game.

Hapree 48 Jar Nail Art Decoration Set


Package
     As a man with a house full of women...my wife and two daughters, I find a common question they seem to always be asking me is "can you paint my nails"?  I guess even though I have big hands they are steady and this is just what is needed for good nail painting.  There are probably over 50 bottles of various nail polishes spread around our home and at different times they are all wonderful for helping make one of my princesses nails look pretty.
Close Up Of Jars
   
     With this 48 Jar Nail Decoration Set by Hapree I have now have the ability to take a pretty nail painting job and really make it pop.  Of course by decorating nails with this item it will require a little more time than your standard nail painting job, but if you are looking for something special it is worth it.  By taking the extra time doing your own nails you can save a bunch of money compared to going to the nail salon as well.
Size Comparison
   
     What is really nice about this 48 jar nail decorating set is that you are not limited to using it just for nails.  You can use it for crafting and scrap-booking or even for facial decorating.  As a warning, if you are using on the face caution needs to be used to ensure you don't get anything in your eyes and end up with a eye infection.
Note:  Even though each jar is approx. 1" x 3/8" in size the items within are small and compact so there is a good amount to be able to do a set of nails at least once and maybe twice or more depending on how much is used.

Photo Steps



These are the simple steps I took to give my daughters nails a special look:

  1. Pick out the color(s) that you want
  2. Pick out decorations that go with the colors chosen
  3. Paint the base color
  4. Use clear nail polish to add shine and give something for the glitters to stick to
  5. Use a half a drop of crazy glue and glue base flower petals to nail
  6. Use a half a drop of crazy glue and glue ball bead to center of flower petal.
  7. Let dry
  8. Show off !

Maginon 8-24x50 Zoom Binoculars With Case

   
   

The Package
Unboxed
     Maginon not only makes great items to help keep you connected to the world, but they make an item to help you zoom in and see it a bit closer.  I am talking about the Maginon 8-24x50 Zoom Binoculars With Case.  If you are into sports, hunting, boating, bird watching, or even sight seeing this pair of binoculars might be just the item for you.
      Out of they box you get a warranty card, a neck strap, a lens cleaning cloth, and the binoculars themselves in a case with a
carrying strap.
 
50mm Lens


     The optics of these binoculars are coated for crisp and sharp images as well as increased brightness.  This is a great plus when you are at the ball field watching your favorite team with the family and you don't have front row seats.  These binoculars have a durable rubber armoring to aid in handling as well as help them last a long long time.  The eye-cups fold down and there are caps to protect the optics and lens when not being used.  The carrying case with velcro enclosure and shoulder strap are nice so if you see a need you have it ready to go in a moments notice.
Great Binoculars

The Optics

     Overall these binoculars by Maginon are of great value and quality and one that you could appreciate that you have in your backpack.  If you would like to see if this item is right for you check out the following link: Maginon 8-24x50 Zoom Binoculars With Case.

Maginon Dual Band WiFi Range Extender



Contents Of Box

Extended Coverage Example
     WiFi is in my opinion one of the best inventions ever created.  I know it doesn't compare to medical inventions
and the like but WiFi has clearly made it possible for people to be more interactive and on the move compared to being tied down by a coaxial cable.
     With WiFi virtually everywhere in the world you will still find dead spots or at least spots that don't have the most reliable signal to be able to use your device(s) in the manner you would like to.

Ethernet Ports
   
Directional Antennas
 Even though I don't have complete dead spots in my home I do have some areas which the WiFi has less than optimal signal to be able to used to it full potential.  My primary internet router which I got from my internet service provider is located on the one side of my home and the signal from time to time has difficultly reaching my daughters rooms so they can stay online.  From time to time they get freeze ups during video streaming and dropped connections.
     With this dual band WiFi range extender by Maginon I was able to eliminate the weak spots in my WiFi in my daughters rooms.  Now I have overlapping coverage because this device takes the signal from my current router and amplifies it and rebroadcasts it out to fill in the weak spots in the WiFi.  The image from the back of the box gives a almost duplicate representation of how it worked for me even though my home is not multi-level.

On/Off & Reset Buttons
Ways To Use
Standard AC Plug
Product Package
     This device from Maginon was very easy to set up and connect to my current WiFi as it comes with easy to follow instructions.  I used my laptop to set it up and I also downloaded and used their app from Google Play (available @ the Apple Store also) as I wanted to see to be able to see if there were any benefits on my mobile device compared to my laptop and they were equally beneficial.
 
Front Of Unit
     There are a few other great features of this range extender by Maginon  besides the obvious wider WiFi signal coverage.  One is that it can not only extend your existing WiFi, but it can be used to create a new access point.  Also this device has a WPS button for easy connectivity.  There are also two ethernet ports so you can connect wired devices such as a smart TV and/or gaming consoles.  This item plugs into a standard AC wall unit and has three directional antennas.  There is a simple reset button and multiple lights to show the use of the ethernet port as well as the signal strength.  This product comes with a warranty card, instructions, a RJ45 LAN Cable, and the WLR-753 AC Dual Band WiFi Range Extender.  If you would like to see if this item is right for you click the link here: Maginon Dual Band WiFi Range Extender.
