Oiamik Blue Light Blocking Women/Men Gaming/Computer Glasses


Oiamik Logo
The Package
     Just in case you are not aware of what blue light is...put plainly it is a type of light that is emitted from various sources that once visually seen tells your brain that it is time to be awake.  A long long time ago the only source of blue light was from the sun.  When the sun was up it meant that you should be awake.  When the sun went down you would no longer be visually exposed to the blue light that was being emitted from the sun and you would begin to go into shut down mode and go to sleep for the night, thus giving you a well rested night of sleep.  When the sun came up in the morning the cycle would begin all over again.

Everything In The Box
   
     Fast forward many years and tons of technology later...we immerse ourselves with television, cell phones, laptops, and the like.  Well those gadgets and gizmos that we find so helpful all emit blue light.  So where these items are helping us be organized, functional, creative, or just an outlet to relax are actually causing our natural cycle to be disrupted.  We go to bed at a normal time playing games or texting or watching a movie and the blue light that comes from these electronic gems are actually reducing our bodies from being able to wind down and get a good full night of sleep.

Elegant & Safely Packaged
     The sad truth is that we should all really just unplug but we either value or depend on our electronics to much.  With these Oiamik Blue Light Blocking Women/Men Gaming/Computer Glasses you can continue to use your devices and limit the amount of blue light exposure you are subjected to.  These lightweight and well constructed blockers are functional and effective.  They are also UV400 rated so you don't have to worry about harmful UV rays while using in the sunlight.  These glasses come stylishly packaged with some temporary tattoos, a couple of cleaning clothes, and also a coupons for additional savings on additional pairs of glasses.  There is also a test card and blue light so you can see for yourself that they do actually work well.

Showing Proof of Blocking The Blue Light
     I personally decided to try these glasses out because I like to play video games in the evening and I also like to watch movies while attempting to go to sleep at night.  For a long time now I have been having dry eyes and it has been shown that a lot of exposure to blue light can cause many side effects suck as dry eyes, headaches, and even depression.  That totally makes since because if you are not getting "good" sleep at night you body will not be able to regulate itself the way it should...which will cause headaches in some and even depression in others.
   
     So if you would like to find out more information about blue light and/or if these Oiamik Blue Light Blocking Women/Men Gaming/Computer Glasses are right for you or not check out the link here and do a bit of research for yourself.  After all you owe it to yourself to be the best "you" you can be.  Oiamik Blue Light Blocking Women/Men Gaming/Computer Glasses

Wundermax Vegan Leather Padfolio Portfolio


Logo
At A Glance
     At 47 years of life I have got to say that being organized is a very important.  Whether you are a student, small business owner, or a home maker being organized can make the difference when it comes to time and task management.  A simple way to get started in getting organized is to take whatever material you have and separate it into groups of similar type or category.  Being organized can also be very helpful when it comes to a hobby also.  I used to collect comic books in the years past and I kept them organized by using the Alphabet by the comic title name.  But I also kept a computer document listing which would show me comics by a particular company manufacturer.


Notebook
Business Card Slots
     To help keep yourself functional in school it is usually a good idea to organize your material by a particular class.  Simply put each of your classes materials into a file folder and you are well on your way to being successful in your scholastic endeavors.




Tablet Pouch / Security Strap
     Even if you don't have a hobby and/or are not a student, I am sure there is some thing in life that if it was more organized would be more functional for your life.  One way you can start to get organized would be to get a Wundermax Vegan Leather Pad-folio Portfolio.  This Wundermax item is a great way to start getting organized.  It has all the features needed to help be functional in your everyday life.  For starters it works well for lefties and righties (which is nice for me since I am a lefty).  It has a lot of pouches and pockets so you can separate and divide your workload so you can go through it in a efficient manner.  


     There is a padded pouch with a velcro enclosure that you can use to bring your tablet along and not have to worry about it getting broken.  In the photos I use my mini tablet, but this will work well with the 10.1 as well.  You can use any of the 3 pen holders to hold pen, pencils, or even styluses.  There are also 5 slots for business cards and also a pouch with a window which is great for ID style cards.  I like that this item comes with a notebook and will work well with your basic yellow legal pads once this one is all used up.


Outter Pouch
     Besides this portfolio being made out of vegan leather as a nice durable material it has a zipper closure to ensure that nothing will fall out.  There is also a zipper pouch which I find works well if you are looking to carry along flash drives and the like.  


     So if you are ready to help yourself get organized check out the following link to see if this item is right for you: Wundermax Vegan Leather Pad-folio Portfolio.

Charleston Chew Hot Cocoa Review

Tootsie Logo

Graham Crackers
     As a child I used to love spending hours in the deep snow during the winter months.  Making ice forts and even attempting to make an igloo.  At times I would attempt to create figures of animals made out of the snow.  Once time I made a very good version of a dog but unfortunately the snow changed over to a light rain and it melted away.

     No matter what I made in the piles of cold white snow I would always look forward to the delicious treats my mother would provide for me afterward.  She would lovingly give me a cup of hot cocoa and small plate of graham crackers to help take the chill out of my bones from my playtime in the snow.


Ready To Brew
A Nice Dollop Of Whipped Cream
     Now making hot cocoa has always been easy to make,  simply add hot water to hot cocoa mix and you are good to go.  Adding some whipped cream would give the warm beverage a little something special also. Now with K-cup machines we can make hot cocoa even quicker.





Brewing With Whipped Cream In The Cup
       I have been using a new hot cocoa by Tootsie Roll...it is a Charleston Chew flavor hot cocoa.  When I drink this cocoa it takes me back to those years gone by when I would spend hours in the snow just being a creative little boy.  This Charleston Chew flavor hot cocoa has a wonderful taste of the Charleston Chew treats and rich hot cocoa.  What is nice is that it doesn't have an overpowering sweet candy taste.  From playing with the size settings I have found that by selecting a smaller cup size will make the cocoa even richer in taste.  I personally like to add a dollop of whipped cream into my cup prior to brewing.


Easy Access Opening
The Delicious Finished Treat
     The thing I also like about this hot cocoa besides the taste is that they are available in convenient 40 count boxes as shown in photos.  They box even has a nice dispensing area that simply punches out so you can take out K-cups as needed and not have to worry about them making your cabinet all messy.
If you are looking for a easy way to enjoy hot cocoa and maybe even take a trip down your own memory lane Click Here so see if this item may be right for you.  To see more information about this product check them out on Facebook and Twitter.

Junior Mints Hot Cocoa Reivew

Easy Access Opening
40 Count Box
Tootsie Logo
     Coffee, Tea, Hot Cocoa oh my...There are so many choices, what is your get up and go or a soothing way to chill and relax?  With back to school in full swing a lot of people think of something orange that grows in the garden and how they taste with spices added to them to make a warm comforting drink.  Not in this house.  Back to school means time for Hot Cocoa till spring.  


Ready To Brew
     Don't get me wrong I love coffee in the morning to get me up and get me moving around.  But when I want to relax and just feel comforted on a cool fall afternoon...hot cocoa is where it is at.  And, as much as I like it my wife absolutely loves a good hot cocoa.  Of my two children only one really drinks hot cocoa regularly.  This year we had the opportunity to try a new Junior Mints Mint flavored hot cocoa by Tootie Roll.  I received a 40 count box of K-cups in the wonderful Junior Mints flavor.  There are a couple of nice features about this box and the mint flavor of this item that I wanted to tell you about.


     
Brewing
     First of all the box at mentioned is a 40 count box which for me and my family is about a month supply, of course this depends on craving and desire levels for hot cocoa.  The box has a nice punch out area so the box can be displayed on your counter so you can easily grab one and pop into your K-cup machine.  The display style box is nice because you can see how many are remaining in the box so if you have to order more you can before they run out.  Our rule of thumb in our home is if there is one level of K-cups just covering the bottom of the box with no extras piled on top, then it is time to order.  This was a method I discovered worked for me for my coffee K-cups.  However we do it this way because I limited cabinet space in my kitchen.  If you have the available space you may want to keep and extra box in the cabinet and once you pull that one from the cabinet then order another to replace it.  


Finished Product
     The next and best feature of this hot cocoa by Tootsie Roll and the reason you would even want to try it...is the flavor.  This Junior Mints flavored cocoa is not an over-powering mint flavor.  Another words it is not like taking a handful of junior mints and popping them into your mouth.  This cocoa is just the right blend of mint and cocoa. The chocolate taste of the cocoa is dominant with a nice subtle junior mints accent.  This flavor which can easily be sipped all year long in my opinion would be best during the fall.  I can see myself sitting on my front porch watching the leaves fall while sipping a cup of this wonderful Tootie Roll Junior Mints Mint Hot Cocoa.

AncordWorks Water Resistant Bluetooth Speaker


What's In The Box
     It is so nice to be able to listen to your favorite music just about anywhere.  And it is also nice that our technology now allows us to do so.  I can travel down the road of my memory and remember carrying around a big ol boom box for portable music.  Carrying that boom box around sure was cumbersome and expensive to operate especially with 8 "D" size batteries in it that needed to be changed every couple hours.  Well gone are those days and now we can enjoy our favorite music selections easily with our phones, mp3 players, and a speaker like this AncordWorks Water Resistant Bluetooth Speaker.  This speaker charges in a couple of hours and has an approximate 12 hours playtime that varies depending on volume level while listening.
Control Panel, Ports, & Mounting Hole
   
     This little speaker which is just under 4 inches by 4 inches by approx 2 inches thick and a bit over a half a pounds can really be used just about anywhere.  Besides the terrific sound I like a the many features this little speaker has packed into it.  It has two silicone rails on the underside to help keep it from sliding around on a surface.  It also has a four button control panel that is great for easy operation of the speaker.  It has a simple port for charging and a 3.5 aux output if you choose not to use wirelessly.  What is real nice is that it comes with not only the USB to Micro USB charging cord, but also a 3.5 aux cable just in case you need one.  As shown in photos besides the ports and control panel you will notice a small hole in the bottom.  This hole is actually a tripod mounting hole.

Front & Back On Tripod
   
     Here is a photo of the front and back on a tripod.  A couple of other nice features I like about this speaker by AncordWorks is that it has a carrying strap and that it is constructed out of a very durable impact resistant material.  It is a combination of hard body plastic and what feels like silicone.  I saved one of the best feature for last and as the title gives away this speaker is water resistant.   It is certified IPX7 rated (can be submerged in 1 meter of depth in water up to 30 minutes).  So this means you don't have to worry about the speaker getting wet whether pool-side or in the shower.
   
     If interested in this item and want to check out more information about it, I have included a few minute video review below and providing you with a link here to help you decide if this item may be right for you.  AncordWorks Water Resistant Bluetooth Speaker.

WenTop LED Light Strip

WenTop Logo
     LED Light Strips are a great and fun way to add an accent or even flair to any particular setting.  And these LED Light Strips by WenTop are no exception.  They are fun and easy to use and set up almost anywhere.  One of the very trendy way these lights are being used is behind television sets to not only add a visually appealing look but also to help reduce eye strain from watching television in the complete darkness. 

Everything You Get
     This LED Light Strip by WenTop has 300 LEDs and is 10 meters long, which is 32.8 feet.  In my opinion this is a nice long set of strips.  But alas if you find they are to long that is all right as the total length is separated into two 5 meter long strips.  So if 10 meters is to long you only need to use one of the 5 meter long strips.  Also these strips are able to be trimmed.  There are spots every few inches that you can simply use a pair of scissors to cut to your specific length. 

Able To Trim At These Spots
     When and if you do decide you need to cut your strip proceed slowly and I would recommend not including the length of the connector cord in the calculations of the length of the strip that you may need otherwise you may end up with a gap in your lighting sequence.  If is best to try and overlap by one or two LEDs to help avoid a gap.

App Name & Image
     This light strip set comes with everything you need to put it together and an flair to that special space in your home.  When using this light strip you can either use the 24 key remote that comes with it or operate via WiFi connection with an app called Magic Home Pro which is free to download from your particular device download stores.  This lighting strip is versatile as is works with Android, IOS, IFTTT, Alexa, and Google Assistant.  Also these light are powered by a safe and reliable DC12v power source.

3 Various Colors
     The remote offered may preset color variations and this is great for setting the certain mood you may be looking for.  The app offers may other great features for this item as you can also use other preset options as well as utilize the microphone option so your lights can bounce to music that you may be jamming too.

     I have included my unboxing video review below which shows a bit of me using some of the presets on the App. and there are several photos here showing some of its varying color patterns.  I mostly wanted to introduce this item to my followers as this is the first time I have seen one of these LED Light Strips that can be operated via a smart device and thought that this is just neat.  If you think it is neat also and would like to see if this item is right for you or if you would just like more information about the item check out the link here: WenTop LED Light Strip

RoomyRoc True Wireless Stereo Earbuds LE-702


RoomyRoc LE-702
What's Inside The Box
     I have done several reviews in the past for audio and electronic equipment and at times it can be hard to say something unique that sets one item apart from another. That is not the case with this pair of RoomyRoc True Wireless Stereo Earbuds LE-702. If you are looking for a pair standard earbuds, then you may want to look somewhere else as these earbuds are anything but standard primarily because they are packed with so many features. And, these features are not just "ear" candy, as they are what really give these earbuds their overall quality and performance.


Charging Area
Onboard Sports Fit
     To start with these earbuds operate on Bluetooth 5.0 and use a lithium-polymer batter to maintain its quality performance and 6 hours continuous playtime depending on the type of music and volume operating it at. When fully charged you will get approximately 120 hours of standby time as well. The case that houses the earbuds is actually a charging device for the earbuds (plus more, read on). So you will charge the case which in turn charges the earbuds. On average you can get 16-18 charges from the case before you have to recharge the case. There is also power level indicator lights on the side of the case to let you know approximately how much power is remaining so you know when it is time to recharge.

On/Off & Charging Area Ports
     The thing that sets this earbud charge case apart from all the others on the market; at the time of writing this blog, is that the case is also a 2000 mAh power bank. Of course if you use as a power bank this will affect the amount of charges your earbuds will receive on a full charge and you may find it necessary to charge the case more often.  Also if you are using the power bank you will need a charging cable if the device you are charging needs something other than USB-C.  The earbud case charges via the charging port using a standard USB-C charging cable which is great so you don't have to fight with which way the cord goes in. If you are not familiar with USB-C charging cables they are similar to IOS charging cables in that they go in either way (see photo for visual clarity). As a basic charging tip it is always good to fully charge prior to use. When charging the case the indicator lights will blink so when the indicator light are all lit up and no longer blinking you know you are good to go.

Touch Sensitive Area
Eartip &Charging Area
     As I mentioned before these earbuds have quality performance and this is achieved with the various comfort and automatic features. The earbuds utilize touch sensitive controls on the earbuds to control various activities such as the selecting one of the 5 various EQ presets and/or the voice assist activation. You can use the earbuds both together or independently to listen to your music or converse via a phone call. Each earbud not only has its touch sensitive area, but they also have an indicator light and mic built in. Along with the EQ presets to help customize your sound choices these earbuds produce 6d quality surround sound with low bass and crisp treble. Prior to writing this blog I was unaware what 6d sound even was. The best way to explain it would be to say that the sound quality is overall more rich in that the sound can be perceived as coming from different areas. Similar to the old quadraphonic sound that you can get from an home stereo system that has speakers in all four corners of a room and you hear different sound out of each. With 6d you can perceive sound coming from left moving towards the right and also towards the back and front. If you were to picture sitting in a chair with your eyes closed you could be listening to a performer sing to "you" as the song progresses you can picture the singer walking around you while singing...overall it is more immersive, but of course you will only hear 6d quality if what you are listening to is recorded in 6d sound. Even if you are not listening to 6d sound recordings these earbuds are able to produce great sound with their extra large graphene sound drivers.
3 Different Ways To Wear
Customize Your Comfort
     To further customize your comfort level while using these earbuds you can wear them one of three ways. You can wear them either lite fit, secure fit, or sport fit. Lite fit is simply as is placed into your ear canal and that is it. Secure fit is for those that want a bit more security, by utilizing the included wing tips the buds go into the ear canal but the wing tip will also fill in part of your ears natural curves to hold earbuds more securely. Lastly with the sports fit the earbuds go into your ear canal and they also have sports hook that wrap around the top of your ear. With the sports fit in mind these earbuds are IPX5 waterproof so you don't have to worry about getting perspiration on your buds. Whatever way you like to wear your earbud you can also select from one of three different size ear tips because all ears are not the same and there are small, medium, and large ear tips the help fill in the space of the actual ear canal itself.


Features From The Box
     These earbuds also come with instructions to help with operation and troubleshooting and a little cloth to help wipe down and keep your case free of fingerprints. As a great incentive the company that makes these earbuds really stands by their product as it comes with a little business card that includes information about their free 1 year hassle free warranty. All you do is simply contact the company via a provided email address and within a short time they will respond and instruct you to mail defective earbuds to a specific address. It even states that the shipping fee will be refunded...WOW.

     So overall as you can see I feel that these RoomyRoc True Wireless Stereo Earbuds LE-702 are a great pair of earbuds. I tried to provide as much information about this quality item as I could but if you feel I may have missed something or you are looking to see if this item is totally right for you, check out this link or any within this blog.
