12 Hole Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time

I am huge Zelda Fan, and this was a must have item when I seen it. This is very well handcrafted and handmade for me it is a perfect representation from one of my favorite games, The design is almost identical to the Ocarina that Link used. This is a collectors item that I am proud to have it also comes with a registration card with information on which website to register on, Once you register your Ocarina with that site you can purchase a ceramic hand stand to display it on. This is quite possible my favorite collectible. I received this product with a discount in exchange for my honest and unbiased review. All my opinions are 100% my own

Kitchen Monster Pizza Cutter

This monster pizza cutter couldn't get any bettter! Its really strong a durable, Made from stainless steel. It had a nice handle on it that is very easy to grip. With my smaller hands I can use this quite well and my husband uses it with his much larger ones. The grip was perfect for the both of us, many others I have owned have had very small handles on them. The wheel is very secure and will last for quite sometime, it wont give out as easily as some other brands. This is dishwasher safe and easy to clean. We put it to the test by cutting frozen pizzas, which the crust on frozen pizzas is much harder than home made, it cut through them without any difficulty.

WonderVeg Spiralizer - Vegetable Spiral Slicer

To put this simply, This thing is amazing! I fell in love with it at first use! For starters I Must say this PLEASE make sure you clean and completely inspect the product before using. I did notice there was some lose metal slivers on the blades, now this is not anything negative towards this product as it was easily removed when we washed it but I would hate to see someone not clean this and it end up in their food. Now as for the product itself. I love it! It works amazingly. I decided to make a spaghetti dinner with a side salad and thought this would be a great opportunity at testing this out! Be careful, the blades are super sharp! I decided to use this to cut some carrots first, that is when I discovered the bigger the vegetable that you use the better results you are going to get, We tested all three blades that come with this on several different vegetables which included, carrots, cucumbers, radishes and onions, oh and just for the heck of it I even tried a head of lettuce, but that did not work lol.We had spirals, spaghetti shaped veggies and sliced, it was fun to see how they all did. The radishes sliced quite well, however with any vegetable you use there is going to be a portion or it left over so with radishes being on the smaller size it only sliced about half of the radish. The cucumber, onions and carrots all worked perfectly, This also pretty much cuts the cores out of all of the veggies you are slicing.
My son wants me to try slicing up some apples and making apple chips next. The machine is very easy to use, just insert the veggie of choice on the spikes attached to the turn wheel, push it up towards the blades and rotate the handle! It has suction cups to hold it in place on your counter top or table when in use. it had storage space on the machine itself to store extra blades when not in use and it is dishwasher safe. I love this thing! Its going to really save my hands from having to slice up veggies in the future since I can use this with very little effort.

Maverick Redi-Chek Direct Connect Roasting Thermometer

This is a pretty handy item to have. It was very simple to set up and use. We installed the RediCheck app onto my husbands Android tablet. There was nothing tricky with the app. Simple enough for anyone to install and use. We connected one end of the heat / cold resistant wire to the thermometer and the other end into the headphone jack of his tablet. I happen to be baking a meatloaf and said to my husband "lets go probe it". We placed the thermometer tip into the meatloaf and it started to read the temperature on his tablet right away. There is also a suction cup on the spool that holds the thermometer and connects to the app device your using which is handy for attaching it to a hard surface so that it does not slip off. . I decided to test it out on some chicken I was grilling only this time I left the thermometer probe inside the chicken and closed the lid of the grill while cooking. I was able to see the temp changes without having to open my grill. When the chicken reached the proper temperature and was ready to come off the grill i removed the probe and there was no damage that was done to it. I think this is a great handy thermometer to have. This thermometer is compatible with IOS and Android smartphones and tablets.
Plus it comes with the bonus free meat forks which is great for lift meat or shredding meat. I used it them to shred some chicken for chicken tacos and it was much quicker than doing it by hand. I was able to shred the chicken while it was still hot instead of having to wait until it had cooled off so that I did not burn myself. These are another great product that I am glad to have around!

Sentey® Headphones Stereo

I have been wanting a good pair of over the ear headphones so when I got the chance to review the Sentey (Warp) headphones this was a chance I just couldn't pass up. The brand I had been wanting was a really high priced well known brand that honestly I could not afford. The price on the Sentey Headphones is much more reasonable and in my opinion well worth it.

I was excited when the package arrived and couldn't wait to check these babies out. These are very well packaged, maybe a little to well since it actually took me a couple of minutes to get the package open, which isnt a bad thing. At least I knew the product was well protected during shipping.




Upon opening the box my very first impression of these was *wow* these are quite big. Meaning they have a lot of padding to them. There is a thick padding on the ears and a thick padding on the headband. I honestly have never seen any other headphones with this much padding to them. Inside the box with the headphones was also the instruction manual, the detachable 3.5mm audio cable and a carrying bag.



After checking out the box contents it was time to check out how well these things worked. So I attached them to my iPod, put them on my head and started playing my music. Now I must say that I have small ears, but when I put these on they completely covered my ears which is a plus for me. I have had others in the past where they didn't cover them completely and that really annoyed me as they was not comfortable. These also extend to fit larger heads, however I did not need to extend them. Later that evening I had my husband try them on and they completely covered his ears as well and he has ears much larger than mine. Not saying that they will fit everyone the same way but that was how it was for us. You can see in the pictures below what the inside of the ear pieces look like.


The noise cancelling on this product worked very well for me, so well in fact that I started singing and could barely hear myself and I ended up singing so loudly that my daughter came in from her room to tell me to quiet down lol. Actually, I did not even hear her come in at first. I was having such a great time listening to my music with these things that I honestly did not care how loud I was singing at that time. The volume and clarity on these headphones are awesome! I played some music that had a lot of bass to it and it sounded great! I listened to several different Genres with them and no matter what I was listening to whether it be rock, country, hip hop, rap or R&B it all sounded great. After a couple hours of music I realized my ears was not hurting, the headphones was so light feeling that they sat comfortably on my head and a big plus, my ears were not all hot and sweaty! So I decided to go ahead and hook them up to my laptop. I continued using them to watch videos, and listen to music for a while longer while using them and was still impressed with the quality of sound and how comfortable these things are. For the rest of the night I had them on. When I was finished with them I just folded them up, yes they are fold-able, and put them in the carrying bag that came with them. I can honestly say this is the best pair over over ear headphones I have ever used! If you are looking for a great set of over the ear headphones at an affordable price I highly recommend checking these out.

Silicone Ice Pop Molds and Ice Pop Maker

After receiving the silicone Ice pop molds my kids could not wait for me to try them out. We did a couple of fruit pops with fresh fruit and a couple of flavored drink pops. I let the freeze overnight. The next day they kids was super excited to have home made ice pops. The silicone is so much better than the ice pops on a stick or in paper. Less of a mess! Actually there was no mess afterwards! The pops tasted great and was very easy to get out of the molds. Clean up is easy as well. They are dishwasher safe and that is such a plus! I also loved that they come with a lifetime warranty when you register them and you get free recipes sent after registering the product. I would highly recommend this to anyone with kids young or old and I will certainly be purchasing more of these in the future.

Elivebuy® [Mosaics Series] 13000mAh Dual Smart USB Output Port External Portable Battery Pack Charger Power Bank

When I recieved my package for this item I was extremely please to see how well it was packaged. It was secured in a bubble wrap and in a thick cardboard box which kept it from being damaged during shipping. It arrived quite quickly to my home.

Inside the box was the power bank, a USB charger, A Storage bag and instruction manual.
I took a glance at the instruction manual to get a good understanding of just what to expect when using this power bank.
We had several devices that could use a charging so we decided to test it out. The first thing I noticed was the flashlight! I have had power banks in the past and none of them had the flash light on it, I thought this was just simply one of the best ideas! There have been so many times I have needed a flashlight and didn't have one so I ended up have to use the very dim lighting from my cell phone. To use the flashlight you just need to press the power button twice and you have a pretty bright flashlight that comes on.

It has 4 LED indicator lights to show how charged this power bank is, the more lights lit up the fuller the charge on that power bank is. If it needs recharging that is simple enough, just plug the USB cord into the power bank and then charge through an AC adapter or through a computer USB port. The battery was already charged when it arrived so no need to do that step.

We plugged it into my husbands Samsung Galaxy S4 first, it was recognized as usable charging device right away. It charged quite quickly. We came back about an hour later and it was completely charged. We decided to test it on my sons iPod, my daughters iPad and even my LG phone which isn't even listed and it worked on all of them charging each quite fast. The bank was able to charge all of them and when done the LED indicator lights was only at the halfway point, with more charging power still left. These were not all completely dead batteries we were charging but a couple of them was pretty close to it. You can even charge more than one device at a time with this one.

The USB cord I was very impressed with, I personally like the braided cord over the plastic cords, they are much more durable.

The storage bag comes in handy as a place to store the bank as well as any USB cords to use with it.

I have to say this is a pretty impressive Power Bank and is one that I will be using for a while. I highly recommend this power bank to anyone looking for a way to charge your devices when your out.

Gear District Built-in Bluetooth Extendable Selfie Stick

I have seen a few people using selfie sticks here and there and was curious about them. My daughter is always taking selfies with her friends and family and I have also taken selfies in the past so I was curious about these. So when it arrived I was ready to start taking some selfies and experimenting with this thing.

Its arrived securely packaged. Which is something that I do worry about with having products shipped. There was nothing to worry about with this one. I opened it up and read the manual which was sent to me via email right away. It was simple instructions with photos. Not hard to work with at all. Inside the box there was the Extendable selfie stick, a tripod, a wireless remote, charging cord and a cleaning cloth. I assembled the selfie stick quite quickly. I played with the blue tooth feature to see what I could use the products with and found that the selfie stick and the wireless remote both work with IOS, Android, Windows. The remote will also work with my WiFi / Blue Tooth Camera.

I had a bit of trouble at first with the selfie stick hitting my power button and shutting down my phone, but I easily fixed that problem by turning the phone over to the other side so the power button was upwards. We tested out the stick after connecting it via blue tooth and it was quite simple to use. We had a lot of fun playing with it.

The only other issue I did notice with the selfie stick itself is that if you have a heavier phone, such as my HTC ONE, when you extend the stick all the way out it tends to bow a little. I just adjusted how far I extended it and it was fine.

We used the tripod and attached my phone to it and my camera. Using the wireless remote we was able to take some photos with it as well. The wireless remote also worked on our tablets even though we could not put them on the tripod or selfie stick due to the size of devices. But we could always position those in other ways to use the remote.

With all that being said, this is a fun item to have around and can come in use, its probably not something you would use all the time but certainly is nice to have. We will be using this more in the future. Its something I would tell anyone that is a great fun item to have on hand.
