My Thoughts:

I cannot convey to you how excited my husband was when he discovered that I was going to have the opportunity to test out this drone.  I mean, I'm sure that 99% of the men and teen boys in the US would die to have a Drone.  That's why I decided this would be a great gift for a multiple of categories!  Of course, I'm sure that there are a bunch of women who would enjoy this as well!!

Inside the Box:

Ohuhu QuadCopter: Includes: 2GB SD Card

Remote Controller

                                    

We've truly had the best time playing with this quadcopter!  It's been so much fun!  We've had airplanes & helicopters in the past and had major issues with trying to keep it steady and to balance it but didn't experience any of those issues with this!

The Pros:

• Super fun!
• The quadcopter is extremely stable (more details later)
• It runs extremely smoothly
• Features a camera (2.0) for pictures or video!
• VERY lightweight
• Has shields to protect the wings
• Affordable!!  Under $100 (These things can go into the thousands)
• Can flip mid-air!!

Cons:

Battery Time

There is only one con.  That's the flying time.  The battery only allows for a maximum fly time of 7 minutes.  Charging takes up to 90 - 100 minutes

However, I've been searching for batteries to see if it was possible to purchase a higher battery for the copter and it appears that the ones featured with this Ohuhu Quad is one of the highest mAH that is sold.  The Ohuhu features a 600 mAH and the largest I could find on Amazon was 650.  

The batteries tend to be sold in multi-packs.  So, I asssume that the battery life is a common problem and that's why they sell so many in sets.  The work-around is to make certain to have enough batteries on hand so that you can be prepared if you are planning on spending a large amount of time flying.

Curvassure by Contour Butt Toning System: Video Tutorial Included

Curvassure by Contour

www.contouroutlet.com

The Curvassure by Contour is a butt toning system that helps take your bootie from saggy to firm with little effort from you!

Just The Facts:

The system consists of:

• Form Fitting Shorts (Pretty too!!)
• 4 Electrodes
• Wire System
• (2) Conductive Gel
• Remote Control
• Carrying Case for easy storage

Putting It Together:

It was really simple to put the Curvassure by Contour system together.  It took maybe ten minutes tops to put the electrodes inside and connect the wires and to fire the system up!!

The shorts are a lovely color and fit really well!

My Thoughts:

I'll be honest, I've had so much stuff going on in my personal life, that I've neglected to use the system regularly and so I can't really give you a full review or report on how well the system works in regards to firming your backside...

If you are familiar with "tens" units, then you are pretty familiar with what this system basically is.  The electrodes send little shocks to your backside and I guess stimulate your nerves or muscles...  I guess it's kinda like exercise for the lazy???  I'm sure it probably works better if you use it in conjuction with a workout regimen.

It definitely feels neat though!  It's like a massage for your butt!  The shorts are also so SUPER cute !!  I wouldn't be at all embarassed to go to the gym or walking in these! They are stylish even if you do have four round pads that are poking out of your bootie...  The color is probably one of my favorite parts to the whole thing!!

Your Thoughts

Have you tried anything similar? If you have, what kind of results did you see???

• 2.4 GhZ Wireless Technology
• Comes with Rechargeable Batteries
• Docking Stand Doubles as a Charger and Wireless station
• Connect to any Audio Out Plug
• Transmits up to 100 Ft. away from Stand
• Cushioned Headphones = Comfort
• Easy Access Volume Buttons on Headphones



RiF6 Easy Set-Up

• Fully Charged: Batteries last up to 20 hours

My Thoughts

I am in love with these headphones!  For starters, they were super easy to set-up.  They fit great, the cushions attahed to the ear part, is super cozy and they also feature a cushion along the head portion, which I've never seen before on a set of headphones.  The look of them remind me of the 80's, but the technology makes them a great option for today.

The sound is clear and crisp!  I like that they feature volume controls ON the headphones themselves, so you don't have to go and find your device to turn the volume up or down.  The coolest thing about these, if you have a TV set that features an audio plug for headphones you can connect the base to your TV and use these with your television and if you're like me you have a partner who lives for watching TV!  It can truly keep you from fighting over the volume of the TV, keeping both you and your partner or children happy.

Easy Set-Up

When you first get these headphones, to install the AAA batteries that come WITH the headphones, you simply rotate the left earbud on the headphone where you will find the battery compartment (it literally is a slight turn and you can pop it off).  You plug the transmitter/ or docking stand to a power source and connect the audio plugs into an audio outlet.  They recommend that the first charge, you charge your headphones for 6 hours prior to use.

Once charged, it's really as easy as making sure you've connected the stand to an audio source (TV, iPod, smartphone, etc.) and push the power button on the headphones once the light on your headphones turns from red to green you know your "connected" and you'll be able to enjoy your music wirelessly.

Sadly, after getting these I realized that the audio plug on our TV was messed up and so I'll be getting a new TV so that I can fully enjoy the capabilities that these headphones will give us.  They still are great for moving around freely to clean house and listen to music and not drive my kids crazy with the music I love and that they thing is "Old".

I definitely recommend these for those of you who are looking for headphones to use while playing video games or watching TV while not disturbing others.  They are a great pair of headphones for those uses as well as listening to music!  

If your from my generation, it'll definitely take you back to the days of Culture Club, Michael Jackson, Madonna, where neon colors were cool, shoulder pads were a fashion statement and teased hair was the "Cool" thing.  Yet, with it's technology it's something your kids will enjoy using as well!  They definitely are a great alternative to some of those higher priced headphones (That don't even have the wireless capability!).

Liztek PSS-100 Portable Wireless Bluetooth Speaker

on Amazon 

Just The Facts:

• 4 Hour Charge Time
• Up to 8 - 10 hours of Play Time
• SUPER lightweight
• Easy Access Buttons
• Doubles as a Speakerphone

My Take:

It seems only yesterday I was doing a review on a portable speaker....  There are a couple of things I really enjoy about this particular speaker.  For starters, it is SUPER lightweight, so if you are carrying it in a backpack, etc it's not going to put any strain on you.  It's also fairly small and so it will fit well in a purse or backpack, the size makes it really easy to find storage options.

Probably the thing I like the most though, are the volume buttons.  This speaker has buttons just for the volume and so you don't have to worry about pressing the button and skipping a song when all you want to do is change the volume.

The sound is pretty sweet too.  It's not as powerful as another speaker I recently reviewed, however, it's a great sounding speaker for the price!  This is the speaker my husband uses and he loves it.  One night we actually had both of our speakers going at the same time in what I guess you could call "Battle of the Sound", we kept waiting for my daughter to come busting in asking what in the world we were doing (However, she was asleep).

While it isn't my favorite speaker I've had the opportunity to review, it is a good device.  This speaker may fit better with your budget compared to other speakers and for the price range it's definitely a great purchase!

Bluetooth EXO Portable Wireless Speaker

The Soundtrack of Your Life

Music is possibly one of the most overlooked, what I'm going to call a "Necessity".  Music can help to make you feel a range of emotions, it can take you to another time and another place.  Just a few notes can instantly transport you to a forgotten memory and with it recapture all the emotions and feelings that surround the memory.

Music is truly a powerful tool.  Not too long ago, after I had received this speaker, I played some music and it literally brought out so many emotions and it changed the rest of my day.  Listening to the right music has even been linked to increased intelligence.  Children who have studeied music in early childhood have in some studies shown increased scores in various testing.

Bottomline is music is important.  I don't know anyone in this world that I've ever met that said, MUSIC?  nah, I can't stand it.  Music is a universally loved pastime.  The only ways we may differ is in our own unique personalities and which genres we prefer.

So, with music being such an important part of our lives, the way we listen to our music is certainly important!  There are probably a million different portals or speakers in which you can purchase to listen to your music.

• Built-In Mic (Speakerphone)

Now Playing:

Over the past few months I have honestly tried out so many speakers, that they all just about run together.  This, however, stands out above all the others that I've tested.  I try extremely hard to not compare products and to just test individual products on their own merits, but in the case with the EXO speaker, I found myself unable to not make comparisons to the other speakers 

Tech Talk:  Breaking it down

Ok, so let's for a moment just talk about the technical specs on this.  For starters NFC, ok so I'll be really honest I had to google this to find out what the crap it meant.  Basically, if you are like me and have no CLUE what this is, just means that you can connect your devices without having to have a passcode like other Bluetooth devices.  So, having the NFC technology makes it extremely simple to plug & play!

3 Easy Access Buttons

The 2000 mAh battery: With a charge time of just 3 hours and a playing time of up to 10 hours, this truly makes it easy to charge and use your speaker on the go!  I despise when it takes forever to charge a device and yet the run down time is super fast!  I've experienced this with a lot of other wireless devices and it makes it where I don't even want to fool with them!

Indicator Lights:  Blue: Bluetooth is engaged    Red: Power Indicator

3 Easy Access Buttons: (The Buttons have double uses)

1.  Play/ Power
2.  Rewind / Volume Down 
3.  Fast Forward / Volume Up

What about the Sound??

EXO Speaker: Features a Flat Side for Lying it on it's side

 Ok, so hands down this is truly the loudest speaker that I've yet to try out!  The sound is absolutely incredible.  I am so super impressed by how clear it sounds.  Imagine if you will, that there is HD for sound, that's what I would use to describe this speaker, it's so crisp and clear.  You know how some speakers will get a distorted sound if you have it up too loud??  This does not, you can jam away as loud as you want this thing to go and the quality of the sound isn't going to diminish AT ALL!

Each and every other speaker that has come in my home for testing or review purposes, I have given to others.  NOT this!  My husband upon learning that I was getting this speaker had "Laid Claim", however once it was in my possession and I had tested this out, it wasn't going ANYWHERE!  I hadn't really been listening to music or anything until I got this speaker and so now I'm listening to music as often as possible!

One thing this doesn't have that some of the other speakers had that this speaker doesn't, is a place for your SD card.  However, that doesn't really bother me because I found the other speakers that did have it, it was hard to get the cards out and if you have a device, it seems that you probably won't need it very often.  It also bothered me at first that there wasn't stand alone Volume buttons.  However, I have since discovered the "Secret" to it (I'm dreadful at reading directions) you simply hold down the desired Volume button instead of "pressing" it to adjust the volume.

Overall:

I am thoroughly impressed by this speaker.  The price tag might have you scratching your head, but I'm telling you it is TRULY worth it!  It's higher priced than some speakers, yet for the quality speaker you are getting it's a lot less expensive than comparable speakers in it's class!  This is one of my favorite electronic items that I've received so far and I wouldn't give it to ANYONE and trust me, I gift a lot of the items that I review!

Hearing is Believing!  If you are in the market for a good wireless speaker, I would urge you to consider purchasing this speaker!  I can't imagine anyone not being happy with the sound this speaker puts out!

There's An App For That?!?

These days, it's hard to imagine a life "Pre-Apps".  Apps have become a way of life for many of us.  There are many apps that have been designed to make our lives easier.  Now there is an app for keeping up with your weight that helps you to calculate your BMI and other health items affiliated with your weight.

Find The App on Google Play Store & Apple's iTunes:
EasyHomeScale on iOS
EasyHomeScale on Play Store

Set-Up is SIMPLE and done from you Phone or Tablet!

 Unlike a lot of digital scales where you have to program the actual scale, this scale you can program your profile from your connected device (must first download the app!).  After you've installed the app onto your device it's super easy to upload your profile.

The app will ask you for your name, gender, which unit of measurement to use, birthday, height and also your level of fitness activity!

As you can see from my own profile, I am no extremely active (I probably needed a less than ordinary option, however that wasn't an option).

 Syncing...

Once you have your app opened and are standing on the device it gets to work!  Now, when I was trying to connect my device from the Bluetooth menu, it said that my app wasn't compatible.  However, upon opening the app and also standing on my scale, it go to working immediately!  I didn't have to hit a sync button or anything!

 Once it's finished syncing with your device, it will prompt you to accept the incoming data.

As you can see to the right side, this is what the app calculated based on the information I provided during the set up and after weighing!

Now, I'll be REAL honest here, I have NO CLUE what half of these items mean..  That's ok, because your app can help you understand all these things also!!

I LOVE that this app has "Dummy" instructions for someone like myself, who has no clue what half of these things mean!
But, hopefully, now that I have this app and scale I can actually learn more about what these things mean and try to get myself healthier!

Overall Thoughts

I have had quite a few scales I've had the privlege to try this year.  And while, each have had their own unqiue benefits, I have to say that this particular scale has far exceeded any expectations I have had.

It's been the most easy to set up and use! It goes above and beyond providing the extra information about your BMR, BMI and Bone and all the other information this app provides.  It truly is by far the easiest to work! Other scales I've wanted to beat my head against the wall trying to get it to know the difference between myself and my daughter.  Now, all we have to do is set up profiles for each of us and have the app open to our own profiles when we use the scale!

I like that I can have multiple profiles on my app and just change it with a couple clicks!  In order to add multiple users to your app, 1) Click on Settings 2) Click on your name 3) Click on the Plus sign to add a new profile / user

Easy@Home Digitial Thermometer

amzn.to/1v6dBBY on Amazon 

The Easy@Home Thermometer, is so much more than just a regular thermometer!  With three different modes, this thermometer can give you the current temp in your home, as well as taking your child's temperature!

Unfortunately, just today I had to use this.  Every year for the passed three years my daughter has come down with the flu or something each Christmas.  This Christmas we were so hoping it would not come back to haunt her, but we weren't quite so lucky.

I woke up to a sick child and upon franticly running around to try to find a thermometer, I finally remembered this little gadget being on my Review Shelf.  Thank GOD!  Unfortunately, it only confirmed what I already knew, that she DID in fact have a fever.

NO TOUCH

You know, when your sick and you have a sore throat, the last thing you want to do is stick a thermometer under your tongue for any length of time.  So, the fact that we now have this handy gadget in which we can take temps without touching the "Sick" person, really does help out!

All I did was pick the Mode: Body and then hit the scan button and I was quickly and painlessly able to get my daughter's temperature.  Nothing could have been easier!

Had I needed to see the temperature in the room , I would have simply chosen the Room Mode instead!  It really is a handy little gadget to have!
