Poweradd 10000mAh Portable Charger Power Bank Battery Pack for iPhone, iPad, Samsung Galaxy Note, and More - Blue Edition
🌟🌟🌟🌟
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01L6PKM8M/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
This is a fast charging powerbank. It takes very little time compared to other banks I've had to charge to full, and I'm amazed at how many devices I can charge off of it. I can get my phone to max, my mp3 player to max and a large tablet a little over halfway charged using this. It's possible it charges better than that, I was using the phone at the time it was charging so may have shaved off some of idea of it's refill ability.
It' fairly compact for a charger of this capacity, I can manage to stuff it in a pocket or corner of my purse.
The only drawback I possibly found is the casing is pretty sturdy if you are going to be just setting it down and letting it charge on a table or something, but if you are someone who is up and going and doing stuff and carrying it with you, I'm not sure how well it would handle being dropped. I play a lot of pokemon go and this was fantastic for that, but I had some worry that I might kill it if it got dropped. (solution was to just put a little bubble pack around it!)
All around best little charger I've picked up so far, I may be giving away some of my smaller chargers and get a second of these. I'm glad I got a special deal on this item and a chance to try it out.

sportlian defense flashlight
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01M7PQ0ZM/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o06_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
not sure if the video will load, it initally said the file was too big.
This flashlight is a great little defense flashlight. If you rotate the dial near the lens of the flashlight some seriously sharp little spikes come out around the lens. It would take very little effort to embed those spikes in someone and rake them with it causing some painful nasty damage.
As a lightsource it works really well too. with the defense spikes dialed out the light has a narrow high power beam that is good for lighting up detailed work, like if you are working on your car. with a tap of the power button you can also get a lower level beam and a strobing beam. If you dial the spikes back you get a good wide spread strong light that also can be altered to strobing and a lower level beam.
The flashlight can take 3 AAA batteries or you can buy a single rechargable battery (if you look at the link it tells you what kind) and recharge it using a charger through a port in the body of the flashlight.
you can see the video at my facebook https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=1536225386393749&id=100000189087667

leather notebook
leather notebook
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01EYOYBO8/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
This is a very nice journal notebook. The leather cover is very neat and well stitched and sealed. A nice pen comes with the notebook and there is a place to store it along the inside spine. The pages are very smooth and even, and in the back is an address book section. It also has a nice ribbon and brass attached bookmark to help you keep track of where you left off. I will probably buy more of these in the future, they will be excellent for keeping track of some of the tea and crochet exchanges I participate in it.

This is a very simple one button device. It's lightweight but quite solid in construction, the end of the thermometer is not overly sharp and doesn't poke. It takes roughly 30 seconds from start until it signals temperature taken. It has automatic shut off feature so it doesn't run the battery down. It reads temperature in Celsius.

rechargable LED book Light
rechargeable LED hands free light
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01L6OHWDQ/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
I often find myself having to dig around in storage containers in the garage or look for things that have drifted somewhere in my car and I really need both hands free, I hate juggling a flashlight while trying to move things around. I picked up this light hoping it might help with this.
It's a quite adaptable light set. You can recharge it through a USB Port, and there is a lamp on each end. Each lamp has two lights in it. You can set it for one or the other of the two bulbs to be lit or for both bulbs to be lit on each end. It projects quite a bit of light. I wouldn't try going out in the woods hunting with it, but it's completely adequate for digging through boxes in a dark garage or for sitting and reading in a dark car with the lights trained down so that they don't interfere with the drivers night vision. The battery lasts for a good long time between charges. You can also easily twist and wind it around a something nearby and angle the light to exactly where you want it, great for working on an auto.

Make up and complexion sponges
makeup blender and konjac sponge
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01ET6G7WK/ref=cfb_at_prodpg
I am not a daily makeup wearer and have only recently started using brushes and sponges in application. This set is a pink sponge that is used for makeup application, and a white sponge like (konjac) material that you use during your skin care routine.
The Konjac sponge is really nice. It's hard when dry, but you can put some of your toner or cleanser on it and it softens. It works as an exfoliating agent as you sweep it across your face. Due to some health issues I have what I call "sand acne" tiny little grains in my pores that while not particularly visible, are there nevertheless and sometimes can be itchy. Using the konjac sponge has done a great deal to eliminate this condition.
The pink sponge is a great applicator for primer and base and for some blending. Its very soft and it cleans up quite easily with a drop or two of cleanser and rolled back and forth between my palms under running water. I've heard of these type of sponges shredding easily, this one seems to be fairly sturdy.
I'm glad I added these to my skin care and make up kit.

spot rearview mirror
spot rearview mirrors
I get very nervous driving highways because of how much and how fast traffic is and trying to see into your blind spot going at high speeds in heavy traffic can be tricky.
These mirrors help a great deal. They come with a small black pedestal type thing that mounts on your mirror, then the actual small round mirror is mounted on a ball socket on the pedestal. You can swivel and adjust these to meet your need for the field of vision. The adhesive is very strong, they stick on really well. The only problem I had installing them was the instructions are in I believe chinese but honestly? It's very simple and quite easy to figure out. I can easily see across the next lane if need be as well as well into my blind spot. I'm very glad I got these, well worth it.

Iphone screen shield protector
Iphone7 screen protector shield
I was given this as a gift, however I don't have an Iphone. I do have a friend that would get good use of it and will be passing it on. I compared this to the shield I had bought for my own phone and am going to look into if this company designs shields for my phone. This shield is fairly thick yet when I held it against my tablet there did not seem to be any problems with the screen detecting my directions. It seems somewhat resistant to skin oils and fingerprints and it cleaned up very easily with a microfiber cloth. it comes with special wipes to clean your phone before applying.

Bath Mat
bath mat
🌟🌟🌟🌟
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01M1E1SF3
I received this bath mat as a sample to try. It has excellent non slip backing that holds very well to my floor. The top part of the mat is a very absorbent foam fabric that conforms so comfortably to your feet. actually i wouldn't mind having one of these to stand on at the sink while doing dishes. it would catch any slosh from the sink or drips and be comfy to stand on. Its a very good sized mat also, you can move around a bit while drying off and dressing. It takes a while to dry, I found it dries faster if I drape it over my towel rack in the tub. my cat has also developed a fondness for lounging on it because its cushy.
It's well constructed with good solid stitching I have no worries about it fraying. I suspect it can be washed in the machine on gentle cycle and hung to dry quite safely.

Bicycle Lights
bicycle lights
🌟🌟🌟🌟
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01MA3AWAV
I received these bicycle lights as a gift and have a friend for whom they will be perfect for. They are very lightweight and come with hardware for mounting the battery box on your bicycle. they are amazingly bright for such tiny lights. They run on two AA batteries and are designed to light up when vibration is detected, so if your bike is sitting still they shut down after minute but as soon as you start moving again they flash. the wire is quite flexible so you can weave it very tightly around spokes in whatever pattern you like. I sprinkled a little water over a section and they still work even when wet. I will worry much less for my friend riding after dark with these on her bicycle.

I picked these up for a friend who rides quite a bit. These are light weight and very colorful and bright. With some trial and error we got them affixed to the bike quite securely, my friend was very visible even on a dark somewhat rainy night. Puddles did not seem to affect these lights at all, they continued to glow even though they got drenched. We haven't timed the battery life with them, but so far they've run for about 14 hours without dimming. These are fun little safety feature I'm glad I could pass on to my friend.

Review of stainless steel water bottle and brushes
stainless steel sports bottle and brushes
🌟🌟🌟🌟
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01I3CCKRW/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
This bottle is made of a heavy duty aluminium, it is lightweight but not flimsy or easily dented and scratched. It comes with two caps. One with a mouthpiece and straw access and another that is the simple screw on or off cap. It came in a selection of colors, I liked the dark blue.
Along with the bottle and two caps came a set of three brushes. One is a large full bodied round brush good for general scrubbing inside any water battle, the second brush is smaller and well suited for getting to nooks and crannies. The last brush is small and perfect of cleaning around seals and intricate areas in lids and edges. They are slightly flexible but still stiff enough you can scrub with them. They clean up easily.

Calf compression sleeves
calf compression sleeves
🌟🌟🌟
These compression sleeves are of a more lightweight material than most of the sleeves I have tried. They are far less itchy than other pairs I have worn, but have a slightly less restrictive level of compression to reduce shin splints or keep swelling to a minimum. Despite that they worked really well on my bad leg, I think they would be ideal for summer. Seams and stitching are secure and solid, no raveling or weak spots. They don't make my legs sweat like some other leg sleeves have in the past. Rather easy to get on and off, the taper level from knee to ankle is a good ratio.

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01IVYFV3W/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
This organic matcha tea powder came in a resealable foil pouch. It has a bright green color and a rich herbal aroma. It is finely ground with no lumping or caking. In comparison to o ther matcha powders I have tried I found it to be really excellent quality. Some powders are exceedingly bitter or sometimes have a strong wood like flavor (from stems being ground in) this powder has a strong green tea flavor with the intense herbal like flavor I associate with good green tea. I tried this mixed in ice cream and in a banana and almond milk smoothie, it lent a nice rich green tea flavor to both. This can be used sparingly as it has a strong flavor, a little goes a long way. I would purchase this product again.
