The Speedy Cube #Getchildish

I am terrible at my classic Rubiks Cube. I've always been highly impressed with those that can solve them in record time. I am not, and will never be one of those people. That being said, I still play with mine and pretend I have skills. This version of the cube, the "Speed Cube" seems to be a great alternative to the original. It slides/rotates/whatever it's called very easily while my original takes a little bit more energy to rotate. I can see the slight ease of movement here helping speed up the the solving process for those who care about that kind of thing. Now, I did have one piece pop out on my as I was "inspecting" it, but that was wholly my fault. I popped it back in and it started to work perfectly well again. In all I do like this Speed Cube and would recommend it to people who want one.

So these LNKOO bluetooth headset work pretty well! They are touch activated for the answer hangup for calls, which is neat I guess. They paired relatively quickly and I've had no problems using them thus far. In general, this is your standard single ear (or both if you use the accessory) bluetooth headset. Somewhat outdated design, but it works! I like them enough overall I would say!

Bicycle Pack Supplies Bundle by Jumaxis

I love riding my bike. It’s my primary form of cardio these days. I was excited when I opened my Bicycle Pack Supplies Bundle by Jumaxis to see how they improved how functional I could be with my bike. I really only used a few of the included pieces. PROS – • Setting up the pack on the bike frame was simple. • The pack added storage and transport for my wallet, phone, and keys. I previously had to carry them in my pockets. • My belongings stayed very secure and nothing fell out (yes, this was a concern of mine). • I also like the included light, and it installs just like any other bike light and works just as well! CONS – • None at this point. These supplies are a great addition to anyone with “just a bike”. Having storage and lights are almost essential, so I don’t know how I survived this long without them. I did receive this free for an honest review. Thank you.

TripWorthy Hammock

I don’t get out as much as I used to, but I love hiking and camping all the same. I’ve always preferred to hang over to sleep on the ground on a tent, so using this TripWorthy hammock was awesome. PROS – • Easy to set up • Packs tightly into its attached case • Super comfortable • Supports my weight and a whole lot more! • Well stitched (doesn’t look or feel cheap) CONS – • Included carabineers snagged the rope on the tree straps

Overall, this hammock is just as good as any brand I’ve used before. I am highly pleased with it. While I only get to test it out at home, it definitely has found a spot in my pack for my next trip out.

ThermoFuture Wireless Meat Thermometer

I love the idea behind this bit of tech. I am always a bit paranoid when grilling a good steak so I was very excited to give this wireless meat thermometer a shot. So far I've used it three times and it does seem to work fairly well. Seeing so many other non-optimal reviews gave me a bit of concern that the readings would be inconsistent so I have been monitoring my meats a bit more as I get used to this thermometer. I compared against a traditional stick thermometer and the readings appeared consistent enough. I will definitely update this review if the device fails on me as it seems to have for others, but for now it works well. I am happy with it so far.

Shikshook Cocktail Shaker

I’ve been out of my college era for a few years now and my liquor consumption has severely dropped off. One thing I’ve really noticed is that I’m far more inclined to take some extra time to make a nicer drink than just quickly pour a bunch of things into a glass and down it. Making a good cocktail can take time and I was looking forward to seeing how this Shikshook cocktail shaker worked for me. PROS: * Nice sized stainless steel shaker * Comes with two pourers for whatever bottles you prefer * Nice velvety pouch (I guess that’s nice. I think it’s a nice touch but also a terrible idea. If you don’t 100% clean the shaker and dry it, this pouch will turn gross quick) CONS: * Some other cocktail shaker sets include more accessories (such as a separate strainer not part of the lid)

Overall, I do like this cocktail shaker set by Shikshook. I’ll be keeping it handy for any get-togethers I host.

Maxam 8oz Stainless Steel Flask

So this is pretty much your standard budget stainless steel flask. It has a brushed steel finish, though the one I received had some scratches / imperfections to the finish that showed it really is just the finish. It is your standard flask and works perfectly well. I have no complaints on the functional usage of it. The finish could use a little extra care and attention, but beyond that, it is fine. Pros: • It’s a flask • It holds your beverages • Has a cap that seals off well Cons: • Disappointing finish As a product, it does exactly what it needs to, its just the finish and appearance that are lacking. https://www.amazon.com/USA-Wholesaler-KTFLASK8-Maxam-Stainless/dp/B00G4O3IHI/ref=sr_1_165?m=A2D4DW0NZBLRX4&s=merchant-items&ie=UTF8&qid=1470165702&sr=1-165&refinements=p_4%3AMaxam #MAXAM

Nellu Weightlifting Gloves

I thoroughly enjoy working out. Finding new and improved gloves that are better than my prior pair is always a challenge and a joy. These Nellu gloves are fantastic and have taken place as my primary pair after only a week of using them.

Pros: • Very comfortable • Lengthy wrist strap provides excellent stability and support • High quality construction (no loose thread or poor stitching • Decent padding • AMAZING LITTLE FABRIC PIECES TO ASSIST IN PULLING THEM OFF OF MY HANDS Cons: • I really like the foam/gel padding, but I have my reservations about how long it will hold up due to the knurling on my bars. Overall, these gloves rock. If they last, all the more better. I would absolutely recommend these to anyone looking for workout gloves with wrist support.
