My review:
I got this set for my niece and nephew because they like to color along side me. I enjoy coloring for stress relief and have a set that I use exclusively for myself. I wanted to give the kids access to a set that is more suited for them and they were thrilled to receive it and to have so many colors. There is such a nice assortment of colors and they complement each other great. You get 50 different colors in this set, all pencils came pre-sharpened. None of the colors are duplicates, but there are a few colors that are really close, but not identical. The lead on these pencils seems to be pretty strong- I put a fair amount of pressure on them and they did not break. They've also held up to my niece and nephew very well, which is not an easy thing to do do. Most colored pencils would snap under the pressure and these did not. I'm very pleased with them as they are still intact and working well. The pencils are easy to sharpen and seem like they'll last a fair amount of time. The case isn't the best, but I would expect to pay a lot more for a nicer case. Each pencil has it's own individual slot allowing you to view all the colors lined up next to each other and keeps things nice and tidy. At this price point ($6.96) this set is a good value. However, this set isn't as pigmented and doesn't provide as smooth of an application as the more expensive brands do. Generally because these pencils have a harder core, the color output is a bit on the lighter side so additional passes are usually necessary. All in all, this is a great starter set for my niece and nephew. The beautiful variety of colors makes coloring so much fun for them.

My review:
This is a nice digital thermometer for the price. It is a replacement for my old one that stopped working. I needed a reliable thermometer for cooking/grilling meats and this item does the job very well. It's so much faster than the dial thermometers. Everything comes out perfectly delicious with no guesswork needed. It's very accurate and easy to read.The probe is easy to position and is very sharp and thin so the meat isn't left with a large noticeable puncture hole. This also comes with the battery already installed in it, which is nice so it is ready to go right out of the package. It also has an auto shut-off feature which is nice to conserve battery life. All in all it's a very nice addition to my kitchen. I have no complaints this does everything I needed it to do.

My review:
I absolutely love this fruit infusion pitcher. I bought it a few weeks ago and use it every day. It has been a great addition to our kitchen.This is a great way to encourage the whole family to drink more water without having to worry about sugars, calories, and artificial flavors. It is attractive, functional, and  is so easy to use. You just put the fruit in the rod, screw it on to the lid, fill the pitcher up with water and put the lid on. The taste of the water is perfect, I infused strawberry + lime + cucumber + mint and wow! The flavor is great. It's fun to figure out new variations of fruits, herbs and vegetables to put in the infuser. Its also a nice gift idea for any occasion. The only downside is that it isn't completely airtight. The lip is always open, so if you like things airtight when in the fridge, you might want to cover it with a piece of plastic wrap. Overall, I'm very please with my purchase. This a healthy and inexpensive way to add some life to water.

XL Microfiber Travel Towel by Mondo







Product description:
  • HIGHEST QUALITY: Extra large Red 27.5" X 51" bath size towel perfect for everyday use while traveling or visiting the beach. Perfect to throw in your gym, golf or day bag.
  • SUPER COMPACT: Every towel comes with a compact mesh carrying case.
  • ULTRA ABSORBENT: This towel can hold 3-4x its weight in water which is perfect for washing, drying and cleaning. Drys 10x faster than any cotton towel.
  • MICROFIBER, gentle on the skin, feels comfortably soft on the face, hair and skin.
  • QUICK DRY: Fast drying technology for all sorts of use. Made completely of microfiber technology.

You're traveling the world, you're off to work, you're heading to the beach, the last thing you need is a bulky cotton towel that takes up half your space and stays soaked for hours. Lucky for you, Mondo has the solution. Absorbent, Soft, Compact, and Baywatch Red. Mondo presents you with the towel you'll be bringing everywhere with you. Super smooth, super thin, The large 51"x27" design completely covers your body. Mondo provides a drawstring bag that compresses into less than a 1 L bottle making it perfect for any day pack.

My review:
I had never used this kind of towel before but I was pleasantly surprised by its versatility and how quickly it dries. The material is deceptive, you don't expect it to absorb as much as it does. These towels are a great quick drying alternative to cotton towels that tend to take a fair amount of time to get dry. It absorbs water from my skin on the first pass. I have used it at the gym and at home as my regular bath towel and in both situations it worked great. It is about the same width as and length as my regular bath towel, but it's a fraction of the bulk and weight. The surface is smooth and feels kind of like suede/velvet, so it does take some time to get used to it if you're used to traditional fluffy bath towels, but it's not too bad. All in all, I am very satisfied and I am thinking about getting another one.

Package Contains
One(1) Xbox One Controller Skin(Sticker)
Actual controller not included.
Install
1) Clean your Xbox One Wireless Controller surface as thoroughly as possible. Use rubbing alcohol on a lint-free cloth to remove any grease or other contaminates. Most issues of non-sticking are due to some type of oil or grease that is on the unit PRIOR to installation.
2) Peel one piece of the Skin from the paper liner. NOT to let the adhesive side touch anything.
3) Determine the placement, apply the Skin to the surface using your fingers or the side of your thumb, starting from one corner and working your way across the surface.
4) If a decal sticker piece is not going on straight, you can gently lift the sticker back up. Do not stretch it from its original size.
5) If installed slowly and carefully, there should be NO air bubbles left under the sticker skin. Any air that may become trapped under the sticker skin during installation will go away in time. You can also use a pin to break it.
6) During the cold weather or for a better result, apply hot air to the decal surface to activate chemical agent after putting the sticker skin on your Controller. Especially heat up the edge surface. Allow at least 3 hours for cool down before touching the decal sticker skin. Using a hair dryer or hot air gun is fine.


My review:
This decal was fairly easy to install. Ensure your surface is clean before application for best results. The quality of the paper and printing seems to be pretty good.  It takes a little patience to line it up perfectly and put it on the controller. If you mess up it can easily be removed and re-positioned. The adhesive is good, I was able to take the skin on and off until it looked perfect without it losing stickiness or tearing. I really don't have any idea how long it's going to last, but so far I've had it for a little over a week and haven't had any problems with it peeling or coming off at any point. My only dislike is that there were no instructions included. Overall its a good skin, it goes on easy, looks good, and fits perfectly.

My review:
I love this product, knowing it is good for the health of my mouth. I started having dry mouth after taking a new medication a couple months ago.I needed something to use in between brush times to help get rid of the nasty taste and dryness in my mouth throughout the day.This helps a lot. I think this product works great when you're on the go It helps eliminate the odors, and it leaves my mouth feeling fresh and clean. It doesn't exactly taste like cranberry but it's a  nice change from the usual mint flavors that one has in tooth products. On the downside I'm not noticing a difference in regards to whitening or my teeth being less sensitive.

My review:
This toy is great to nurture creativity and imagination. I bought this toy for my niece. I like to have toys available for her when she visits that can be used as learning tools or for fun, and this toy does that. It gives her endless hours of creative play, which I love. It comes with everything you need, right out of the box! You get three pieces of colored chalk, dry erase marker, two sided eraser, and lots of cute and colorful animal magnets and landscapes that can be arranged in different ways. My niece enjoys recreating the images in the booklet, as well as putting the different magnet pieces together to create her own animals. The magnets that came with it work fine, they stuck easy and they stayed firmly in place until I moved them. Keep in mind if you have small children some of the magnet pieces are pretty small, so I honestly would take them out of the box until your child is old enough to where they don't put things in their mouth.The easel itself feels sturdy but the wood is rough and unfinished. I was concerned that it may be prone to splinters, so I treated it with food safe walnut oil and that has left a nice semi-gloss finish. I can really appreciate the thought that went into this item, but there are things that could be better. The easel has a compact and portable design which makes it convenient to play with it anywhere you like. However, the cover doesn't stay securely attached, once tipped it's really easy for the top to fall off and the magnetic pieces will fall out. I was a bit surprised that the packaging and booklet was written in Chinese. The booklet written in a different language wasn't that big of a deal for me though. It's mostly pictures that show different ways to arrange the magnets to make different animals and landscapes. I know most toys in this price point are made in Asia and do not expect anything more than should be expected from an inexpensive toy. All in all, My niece has lot of fun with it and it's rewarding watching her use her imagination.

Product description:

  • The perfect GIFT for that Surfer, Paddleboarder, Kayaker or anyone that spends time in and out of the water.

COR Surf makes the highest quality accessories for the hard "COR" Water Man. We were tired of freezing our **** off on cold winter mornings, so we designed the COR Microfiber Changing Poncho.
The COR Surf Changing Poncho makes changing in and out of your wetsuit so nice and comfortable!. The thick micro fiber fabric will absorb moisture and help dry you quickly so you can get dressed discretely. Over 40 inches long so will work fine for people over 6ft. Models in photos are 5"8 and girl is 5'6". The PERFECT GIFT for that hard-to-please surfer. Whether it's Christmas, a birthday, graduation, or "just because", your surfer will be stoked to receive the COR poncho!
Trust the family owned brand that has brought you quality surf and paddleboard products for over 14 years now.

My review:
This is a versatile beach accessory that not only works but also looks great! I bought this robe for my 14 year old son. The robe fits all his criteria: comfortable, warm and a solid color. This robe makes changing at the beach much easier and it's perfect for drying off and warming up while changing after water activities. There is plenty of room to change underneath, and it provides good coverage in an environment where there is inadequate privacy. The micro fiber material absorbs water, so there's really no need to towel off. Construction of the robe seems solid and it washes easily, I've had no problems so far with pilling. It folds up to about the size of a bath towel so it doesn't take up too much room. My son says he likes everything about his new robe except it needs a larger opening to fit the head through. Other than that it works as advertised.
