I've been seeing these everywhere lately, and decided it was time to try one out.
What you need to know -
This will not charge just any phone. Your phone must be Qi enabled in order for it to charge your phone. To find out if yours works, you can either contact your wireless company, or you can do a search on the internet. Make sure you find out first, you don't want to order this, and not be able to use it. Some phones can use a special case to work with the Qi enabled chargers. You'd have to talk to your service provider or do some research to see if yours would.
This is so easy to use. You just plug it in. When you want to charge your phone, you set your phone on top of it. There is a certain way your phone has to sit, so make sure to read the instructions. When you're done charging, or need to use your phone for a bit, just pick it up. NO more messing with cords when charging your phone. That's the big bonus for me!
This charges pretty quick as well. I would say as fast as my quick charge cable.
Overall it's a great charger, and I do recommend it! If you have a Qi enabled phone that is!
I received this for free for the purpose of an honest review. My opinion is my own and is not influenced in any way.

This comes with a carabiner ring, USB charging cable and an AUX cable. This means you DO NOT have to connect it via bluetooth! For those of you who use ancient phones, you can just plug it in to the headphone jack on your phone, and still be able to use it.
To use this, you simply remove the back flap (toward the top), and slide the switch to the 'on' position. It will be ready to pair to whatever device (if you are using the bluetooth mode that is). It's easy to pair. Once paired, just start playing your music. You can turn the volume up on your device, or on the speaker. To do so on the speaker, you hold the button down for turning it up or down. If you simply press the button, but not hold, you're going to skip to the next (or last) song.
There is also a handy flashlight on the side of this. If you press and hold the button that looks like a light bulb, you will turn it on. Do the same to turn it off. It's a pretty bright LED flashlight. I love it!
The carabiner clip will clip into the loop on the end of the speaker. This way, if you wish to clip it to your bag, belt loop etc, you can do so with ease.
Last but not least, this has a MicroSD port. Meaning you could put some music on a MicroSD card, and insert it in the port, and this speaker will be a stand-alone stereo! You won't have to bluetooth or AUX it to your device and all your music will be right there at the touch of the button. This does have Play/Pause Skip Forward and Backward as well as the volume. So everything you need right here in this little box of dynamite! Score!
Overall this is a high quality speaker that packs a punch of sound. I highly recommend this to anyone looking for a great bluetooth portable speaker! I received this speaker for free for the purpose of an honest review. My opinion listed above is my own and is not influenced in any way.

I am completely satisfied with these Dry Erase Sheets. They are better than I imagined when I ordered them. There are four in the pack, and also a marker to use on them. The marker even has an eraser on the lid, and a holder to stick it on the wall (or whatever surface) next to the sheets)
The absolute first thing I noticed, is that the paper backing, around the dry erase sheets, was larger than the actual dry erase sheet itself. I'm sorry, but this is my favorite feature. I cannot count the number of times I have bought stickers or vinyls etc, where the backing was the same size/shape as the sticker. I have shaky hands and this is a witch to get apart when they do that! Thank you for saving me that trouble! Seriously! You saved me hours of frustration!
The next thing I noticed is how thick they were. They aren't flimsy sticky paper (trust me, there ARE some out there like that). They will stick and last quite a while.
My only complaint is that the post office crumpled them up, to cram them into my mailbox. I wish that they would have had a piece of cardboard or something inside, to keep them from being able to be folded. However, that doesn't change my opinion that I do love these dry erase sheets.
Before putting them on the wall, I suggest you clean your wall, and make sure it is completely dry. Obviously these won't stick really well to porous surfaces like brick, or tile with lots of grout lines. I tried one (I would have tried more, but I have decided to give them to my daughter for her birthday next week). I cleaned the wall and allowed it to dry. I then found a piece of board to help me with applying. I started at the top and peeled back the backing (like you would a band-aid wrapper without peeling it off). I then stuck the exposed area to the wall, and placed the board against it with slight pressure. I didn't want to add too much pressure for fear of ruining the surface. After that I just guided the back off while sliding the board down the dry erase sheet. Once the whole sheet was stuck to the wall, I ran my hand over it to smooth it out. Worked like a charm. I was even able to remove it and put it back on the paper without issue (although I wouldn't recommend doing this a lot, as it would probably eventually lose it's stickiness).
These work really well and I highly suggest them to anyone looking for dry erase 'boards' without having to put holes in the wall, or have something bulky hanging there. As an added bonus the seller included some vinyl labels as well, which I love!

Please forgive the video being on it's side. My camera was indisposed and my phone was not allowing me to flip the video as it should.
Laugh it up. I was one of those who rolled her eyes at the all famous selfie stick hype. When I was offered one for review I figured 'why not?'.
This is actually more interesting than I thought it would be. They send you the selfie stick, the bracket for your phone, cord for charging said selfie stick, and a case to carry it in. The stick is metal with a plastic handle. There is the plug on the bottom of the handle for charging, as well as an on/off switch. Up further on the handle is the button you push to take a picture. At the top is the bolt, which screws into the phone bracket. It's easy to put together, and I had no issues.
I charged it for one hour as suggested. Then I turned it on. The bluetooth light on the bottom is VERY tiny. It didn't take long for my phone to discover it, and connect. I then placed my phone in the bracket and turned on the camera. The top is adjustable for different angles. I adjusted it to where I thought we needed it, and extended the arm.
My only complaint so far is that extending the arm is a pain in the rear. It's metal, and new, so it is very stiff, and hard for me to extend and compact. Other than that. It really is a handy tool. I would use it if I had a large group of people, and no one to take a photo. A couple years ago there was a group of us who were attending concerts. We had to ask people to take our pic, because we couldn't get into a selfie together. This would have been super handy then, as drunk people at a concert, take really crappy pics, lol.
All in all, I won't be using this a lot. However I will be using it, as I said, when we go to family/friend events where there will be a lot of us in a group that we want in a picture. I do recommend it. Teens I am sure will love it.
