ShuoGe 2 Port Car Charger Review



Happy Sunday! Did anyone watch the “fashion fails” at last nights SAG Awards? Yeah, me neither. But, I couldn’t avoid the play-by-play when I logged on to the computer today. Anyway, moving on to the ShuoGe 2 Port Car Charger Review. Mister Hubs and I spend a lot of time together in the car. We visit family just about every weekend and he prefers to travel by car versus something easy like a plane!

On more than one occasion the issue of who is going to charge their phone or iPad has been … uh … discussed on a road trip. It never occurred to me to get a 2 port charger! This particular one by ShuoGe offers 2.1A / 24W in each port and has a real quick charge even when charging two iPhones at once. The charger has a nice compact design and a sleek look.



ShuoGe 2 Port Car Charger Features:
  • Compatible with iOS and Android
  • Compatible with iPad and Note
  • Fast Charge
  • Intelligent Circuit Design
  • Input: DC 12-24V
  • Output: DC 1A/2.1A

The ShuoGe 2 Port Car Charger sells for $6.99 (a price point worthy of stocking up!) and you can grab yours on Amazon!

Hardwood Home and Studio Guitar Hangers by Ohuhu Review



These guitar hangers by Ohuhu are about the eighth item that I’ve reviewed from this company. And there’s a good reason why I continue to review Ohuhu’s products. Looking at things from an odds point of view, within 8 products there should be at least one that I don’t like. So far, every item that I’ve received has been good!

The Hardwood Home and Studio Guitar Hangers by Ohuhu are a 2-pack. They include all of the hardware that you need – including wall anchors – so when you’re reading to hang your guitars, you don’t have to stop and look for a screw of an anchor! That is a major plus, because there is nothing worse then having to stop a project because you’re missing something!

Hardwood Home and Studio Guitar Hangers by Ohuhu Features:
  • Made Of Real Hardwood
  • Adjustable – Can be used for a multitude of instrument sizes
  • Soft Padding
  • Easy To Assemble
  • Includes All Necessary Hardware

The Hardwood Home and Studio Guitar Hangers by Ohuhu make an amazing gift for any musician and they look really nice! You can grab a set for yourself for $14.99 on Amazon!




Wireless Sporty Bluetooth Headset With Voice Guidance by Proxelle Review



This Wireless Sporty Bluetooth Headset With Voice Guidance by Proxelle is about the seventh pair of wireless headphones that I have ordered and I love them all. Each one I ordered was from a different company and a little bit different style. I really am impressed by this set of wireless headphones. It was very easy to pair and has a comfortable fit. 

The Wireless Sporty Bluetooth Headset With Voice Guidance is a breeze to pair! The button functions are easy to use --The up and down buttons will change the volume up/down, and if the up/down button is pressed and held it will change the song. The buttons feature a 3-second hold power on/off, a short press will pause/play music, 5-7 second hold it to enter pairing mode, short press answers a call or ends a call, and double tap will redial the last number. All very nice features! 

I tested these bad boys out on my iPhone, spending the day using them and found that they surpassed the stated 4-6 hour talk time and listen to Pandora as I worked – the sound was clear with zero background noise to disturb me. As for the noise canceling it worked too well, as Mister Hubs will tell you.


Wireless Sporty Bluetooth Headset With Voice Guidance by Proxelle Features:
  • Voice Prompt
  • 33-Foot Range
  • 3 Pairs of Eargels
  • Lightweight
  • Easy Pairing
  • IOS and Android Compatible
  • Stellar Sound Quality
  • 100% Money Back Guarantee 

Wireless Sporty Bluetooth Headset With Voice Guidance by Proxelle lists for $39.99, but are currently on sale on Amazon for $18.97.

ExfoliMATE Magic Exfoliating Body Cloth by Green Heart Labs Review



There is a lot to love about the ExfoliMATE Magic Exfoliating Body Cloth, and a lot to love about the company behind the product -- Green Heart Labs. But, let’s begin with the packaging. The ExfoliMATE Magic Exfoliating Body Cloth arrived in a biodegradable bag (Yeah!) and enclosed with the Exfoliating Cloth was a recyclable card with an explanation of what the Exfoliating Cloth does and instructions for proper use.

The ExfoliMATE Magic Exfoliating Body Cloth is well designed with even stitching and large for full body exfoliation. The material is slightly coarse, but not so much that you feel like you’re using a brillo pad on your skin. Now, as for that actual test I had Austin use this. It was a great litmus test because, let’s face it, guys do not take the time to exfoliate despite that fact that they need to! More men than women suffer from backne and the ExfoliMATE is perfect for all of those hard to reach places on our bodies.


ExfoliMATE Magic Exfoliating Body Cloth by Green Heart Labs Features:
  • Size - 34” L x 12” W
  • Able To Reach Tough Area Like Back, Shoulders and Butt
  • Gentle Exfoliation For Glowing Skin
  • Made From Green Fiber
  • Biodegradable Packaging
  • Loofah Fibers Allow For Less Use Of Product (Cost Effective!)
  • 60 Day Money Back Guarantee

You can check out the video for Austin’s full review. But I can tell you that he was happy with the look and feel of his skin after using the ExfoliMATE Magic Exfoliating Body Cloth. Based upon the feel of the cloth and the size, I am buying one for myself and one for Mister Hubs. The ExfoliMATE Magic Exfoliating Body Cloth that I received was Green Heart Labs Exotic Animal Print, which I love, but Mister Hubs … not so much. Happily the ExfoliMATE Magic Exfoliating Body Cloth is available is Green and Purple!




I mentioned at the beginning of this review that I was impressed with Green Heart Labs and there are several reasons. Included in my package was a card with a direct email if I need to customer support, as well as a sample of the company’s Super Shea Moisturizing Lip Balm Mini in Juicy Apple (On Sale For $3.99)! These are really nice touches, but it is the philosophy of Green Heart Labs that has won me over. On the company’s “About” page, they have a mission statement that is very much inline with my own beliefs.

“We believe that everyone should have access to natural skincare products that really work. We also believe that everyone should feel confident in their own skin from head-to-toe.  We select only ingredients of the highest quality. Our formulas are always free from parabens, phthalates, sulfates, and cruelty. Because we put nature first, we strive to limit our environmental impact and are truly green at heart.”

The ExfoliMATE | Magic body exfoliating cloth, Exotic Animal Print normally sells for $24.99 and is currently on sale for $14.99. You can find the Exfoliating Cloth and all Green Heart Labs Products online at Green Heart Labs!


Bento Lunch Boxes with Locking Lid by Fresh To-Go Review



I was excited to get these lunch boxes from Fresh To-Go, hoping that Mister Hubs and our family (including Austin) would able to use them both for outings and work. The lid is very tight fitting and the portion sizes are great for kids or someone who is looking to control their weight.

I really like these Bento lunch boxes. They fit in the guys’ lunch bags really well! I do a lot of prep for the week ahead. These are perfect to set up in the fridge on a Sunday and know that for the next few days, I have a lunch ready to go in the fridge. I received three and will most likely buy more for freezer storage and for when I send Austin home with leftovers. Check what Austin had to say … and as usual he’s planning on stealing them, so I guess I will be purchasing more!

  • Airtight Lid Locks

Unisex Hanging Toiletry Bag by Jagurds Review



At first glance, I was surprised by the slim size of the Unisex Hanging Toiletry Bag by Jagurds. I’m not a girl who travels light – but I’m working on it. With that said, it occurred to me that when we fly I don’t take my full size toiletries.

The toiletry bag is well made with even stitching throughout and compartments galore so I have plenty of space to organize everything. The Unisex Hanging Toiletry Bag by Jagurds really offers up some ingenuity, as it unfolds to four storage compartments. One of the compartments has a convenient detachable zippered pouch is ideal for taking a few essentials with you on the go! I like the sleekness, as it easily fits into my tote bag.

Unisex Hanging Toiletry Bag by Jagurds Features:
  • Carry & Hanging Toiletry Bag
  • Size - 11" x 7.5" x 3"
  • Multiple Compartments

The Unisex Hanging Toiletry Bag by Jagurds lists for $59.00 and is currently on sale for $27.00 on Amazon


Xbox One Rechargeable Battery Play and Charge Pack by TNT Interactive Review



Although your Xbox One controller runs on AA batteries, it's so much nicer to have the Xbox One Rechargeable Battery Play and Charge Pack by TNT Interactive rather than burning through costly AA batteries. Even rechargeable AA batteries aren't as good, they don't last quite as long per discharge, and you have to remove them to recharge them. It's much easier to just plug in the charging cable when your juice is low. Words that any wife or mom wants to hear “Do we have any AA batteries”?

The charging cable is sufficiently long to play from our couch (8 feet away from the TV). It takes about an hour for the initial charging to finish from whatever capacity percentage these come from the factory. The charge cable is just a basic micro USB and interchangeable – bonus! The cable itself seems pretty high quality too and it snaps in with a very solid connection, which Mister Hubs likes.



Xbox One Rechargeable Battery Play and Charge Pack by TNT Interactive Features:
  • Eco-Friendly
  • Cost Effective
  • Over 9ft Long Cable
  • USB To Micro USB Power & Play Cable
  • 1200mah Battery
  • Controller Core Fits All Official Microsoft Xbox One Wireless Controllers

The Xbox One Rechargeable Battery Play and Charge Pack by TNT Interactive lists for $24.95 on Amazon and is currently on sale for $15.95.

Zipper Vintage Leather Long Wallet Card Holder By Secret Felicity



When it comes to wallets of this type, I am very familiar with what’s good quality and what’s not. I used to sell them! The flawless Zipper Vintage Leather Long Wallet Card Holder By Secret Felicity surprised me. I realize that this is a men’s wallet, but with so much room and the classic style I may have a really difficult time not keeping this for myself!

First, the wallet looks gorgeous and then there is its high functionality. There is room for credit cards, ID, money and all of the essentials – plus some. The wallet features three zippers – two external (one for each compartment) and an external zipper. All of the zippers worked well. The wallet comes with a dust bag, which is a really nice touch. I just can’t get over that this wallet is such good quality and so inexpensive! Stellar quality at an unbelievable price!

Zipper Vintage Leather Long Wallet Card Holder By Secret Felicity Features:
  • Brass Zippers
  • 100% Cowhide
  • Leather Hand Band For Easy Carry
  • Perfect Stitching All Around
  • Dust Bag
  • Measures: 8.3"×4.7"×1.4"

The Zipper Vintage Leather Long Wallet Card Holder By Secret Felicity retails for $39.95 on Amazon and is in limited supply.

LIANSING Universal Magnetic Air Vent Car Mount Review



The LIANSING Universal Magnetic Air Vent Car Mount is absolutely impressive. It is very simple to install in your car with padded grips and it holds a mobile phone securely. It is strong and has a nice quick release feature. The same has a padded and cushioned side and grip arms to hold the phone properly.
                   
I live pretty close to the state line and it is illegal not to have a hands free device while driving in the state next to mine. The LIANSING Universal Magnetic Air Vent Car Mount is perfect for me. Again, it was easy to install and it’s easy to take from one car to the next.



LIANSING Universal Magnetic Air Vent Car Mount Features:
  • Quick Install
  • Durable

Bintiva Stainless Steel Insulated Water Bottle Review



The Bintiva Stainless Steel Insulated Water Bottle is made of high quality stainless steel and has a generous 25 oz capacity. Bonus is that the Bintiva Stainless Steel Insulated Water Bottle comes in two sizes, 17 oz and 25 oz, as well as two colors – Brushed Stainless Steel and Blue.

The bottle can withstand both hot and cold beverages, keeping cold beverages cold for 24 hours and hot beverages hot for approximately 12 hours. Now that we’re in colder months, the fact the Bintiva Stainless Steel Insulated Water Bottle can keep hot beverages hot for up to 12 hours is just another bonus of the amazing water bottle. Think about all that time you’ll be spending on the slopes and having a nice hot beverage to sip on throughout the day or in the case of Mister Hubby, working outside in the frigid temperatures.

RFID Blocking Passport Sleeve Combo Pack by BLOCKIT Review



If you’re looking for RFID protector, this is a really good deal! My husband bought a RFID blocking wallet a few weeks ago and it’s already broken. The RFID Blocking Passport/Sleeve Combo Packs are a smarter way to go. All you have to do is place your credit card or passport inside the sleeve and then place those items in your existing wallet or purse.

I was very happy to see that this pack comes with two passport size sleeves and eight credit card sleeves. The credit cards sleeves have for vertical holders and 4 horizontal holders. Very cleverly designed! One item to note is that in pictures the sleeves look like they are made out of clothe, but they are actually paper.


The 2 RFID Blocking Passport Sleeve Combo Pack by BLOCKIT lists for $29.99, is currently on sale for $9.99, and has a 90 Day Money Back Guarantee. You can find this product by BLOCKIT on Amazon.


FiveJoy Skidless Yoga Towel with Yoga Sandbag Review



I love my yoga and I am not a happy camper when I don’t have an opportunity to do it. I have received other yoga towels, but none of them where quite right. Now I know why. The people at FiveJoy actually do yoga! And that is what sets the FiveJoy Yoga Towel apart from others. With smart detailing like a non-slip backing, pockets to fit over the mat, and a bag with a heavy-duty rope handle this is hands down the best yoga towel I have seen yet!

FiveJoy Skidless Yoga Towel with Yoga Sandbag Features:
  • Super Soft 100% microfiber
  • Size: 72" (L) X 25" (W)

Twist-n-Lock Telescoping Snow Shovel Roof Rake by Ohuhu



I believe that the Twist-n-Lock Telescoping Snow Shovel Roof Rake by Ohuhu is the fifth item that I have gotten from Ohuhu and this company does a really good job with its home goods. Digressing for a moment, I received a set of Ohuhu Ice Hot and Cold ReusablePacks that came in extremely handy over this past weekend.

Anyone on the East Coast knows how horrific Storm Jonas was; dumping almost three feet of snow, and the packs came in really handy when Mister injured himself shoveling the snow. Yes, I am finally going to get a snow blower! However that decision didn’t help for the two-day snow clean up. As for the Twist-n-Lock Telescoping Snow Shovel Roof Rake by Ohuhu this too did not arrive in time for the snowpocolypse. The late arrival was of NO fault on the part of Ohuhu; it was due completely to the storm. For the first time in my life, we didn’t get mail delivery. The roads were simply that bad and only emergency personnel were allowed on them. Oh my would this rake come in so handy!

Twist-n-Lock Telescoping Snow Shovel Roof Rake by Ohuhu Features:
  • 6” by 25” Poly Blade
  • Extends To 21’
  • Durable Aluminum Pole
  • Lightweight

The Twist-n-Lock Telescoping Snow Shovel Roof Rake by Ohuhu lists for $70.00 and is currently on sale for $39.99 on Amazon. Grab one before the next snowstorm!


Got Me Tipsy Glassware & Gifts New Collection Review


The glassware items from Got Me Tipsy are the second set of items that I have reviewed. The first was a hilarious mug, which you can check out here. Moving on to the NEW collection. When I was asked to do this review for the company, I had no idea that they offered such a variety of glassware. I honestly believed that the clear coffee mug was it! I’m happy to be wrong … wait until hubby reads that line …


Okay, let’s get to the review. First up is the “Definitely Not Vodka Funny Coffee Mug” ($24.55). Unlike the “Favorite Child Coffee Mug” that I’d previously review, this one is ceramic with the slogan on the front. The mug is a nice sized 11 ounces and is both microwave and dishwasher safe. This is the perfect mug for any one of your partying friends or coworkers!



Next up is the “What Night?” 13 ounce wine glass, which sells for $23.55. Aside from the hilariousness of this wine glass, it is sturdy. I love my expensive stemware, but I don’t want to use it all of time because of the fact that it’s fragile. This wine glass has a bit of weight behind it and I don’t have to worry about it getting broken during one of my infamous “girl’s night” parties!



Rounding out this review is the “My Therapy Funny Wine Glass” ($23.55), which is precisely how I feel by the time Friday rolls around! And how I felt during the recent Storm Jonas!


There is such a wide selection of glass where offered by #GotMeTipsy and each item that I received was superiorly packaged. Got Me Tipsy Glassware & Gifts offers a satisfaction guarantee and if you peruse their page, you are absolutely bound to find the perfect gift!
