Minzos 4-In-1 TurboPen for Tablet & SmartPhone Review

I love love love companies with new and innovative products that put the needs of it's customers into every bit of thought that goes into making their products. I was selected to review the Minzos 4-in-1 Turbo pen to be used with tablets and smart phones free of charge in exchange for my honest review. I was so excited to receive this, and luckily it arrived super fast.

The Minzos 4-in-1 Turbo Pen has everything in 1 writing tool that you will need.

1. The LED flashlight, which is a whole lot brighter than you would image something as small as pen would have. I was able to light up my bathroom pretty brightly, this will come in handy during our frequent power outages, for sure.

One of the walls/ceiling in my bathroom, that's pretty bright.

2. The second button located next to the first button for the flashlight, activates your very bright red laser light, that precisely points out anything near or far. This is perfect for presentations, teaching, or preaching. And if you're bored, this could keep your pets busy.

3. The lid on the pen contains a smooth rubber stylus that I was able to work with ease, on my Samsung Galaxy S5 screen, my iPad, my Galaxy Tab, and an extra Iphone I have laying around. There was no sticking, no scratching, and the tip was never pushed in, like some of the cheap styluses out there that tend to get stuck when you use them.

4. The pen... the pen is amazing. The smooth black ink glides across your paper, just as a top of the line pen would. There isn't much one can say about a pen, other than praising if possible it's ability to write well, which this one does. I love it, I really really do. 

This 4-in-1 pen is absolutely handy, it's great for both school/college aged kids, as well adults working any type of job. This pen comes pre-loaded with batteries, so it's good to go right out of the package. One minor thing to note, though is the cap does not stick to the back end of the pen, so be sure not to lose it, because you'll end up losing your stylus. Just keep it secure somewhere, when you're using your pen. 

That's it though, nothing negative to report on this pen, it's lightweight, and very sleek looking. Definitely looks good for any professional. The Minzo pen retails for $13.97 on their website, which I will link down below, as well as on Amazon.com. Please check it out. The Amazon Ratings have it at 4 stars, but I believe it deserves 5.

Power Tek Fire Talon Multi-tool Pocket Knife Review

This has been in my possession, no more than a week, and I can not count how many times I've reached for it to help me out with something. This is THAT product, I never knew I needed, but have always wanted. Does that make sense? This product was sent to me for review purposes, free of charge, and let me tell you, that it's been one of the best little blessings I now proudly own.

The Power Tek Fire Talon Multi-Tool Pocket Knife, is heavy duty, well constructed, and extremely strong. You will immediately notice the weight it has to it. This however, does not affect the performance of the muti-tool. Opening up each of the tools is tricky at first, but they lightly loosen just enough for your to open them up easily after a few uses.

The knife features two LED lights on both ends of the knife that light up brightly, not enough to project at a distance, but enough to shine on to a small task you are performing. The knife is a large 3 inch stainless steal self-locking blade, that cuts through the thickest of materials. My husband was able to cut a thick plastic cup for me.

The multi-tool also has spring-loaded pliers, that are just as strong as the best pliers in my hubby's tool chest, just as the Philips and the flat head screw drivers on the multi-tool are. Along with all these awesome tools, are wire strippers, a can opener, and a set of scissors, that are sharp enough to cut through a lot things.

Honestly, everything on this multi-tool works just as well, as the name brand products my hubsand owns. It has a sleek, and modern design, with rubber grips that make holding on to this tool very easy. One minor draw back is the difficulty I had pulling out can opener/screw driver. I know that after a bit of use it'll get easier to pull it out, but everything else worked like a charm. It also comes with a very sturdy carrying case, you can slide into your belt to carry it around. Hunting, Camping, Fishing, this thing is for you.

If you're in the market for an all in one tool, for yourself, or your spouse, (Valentine's Day is right around the corner) You should definitely consider this one. It retails on Amazon for $39.95, and ships free with Amazon Prime. This company seriously put a lot of thought into this item to create a compact all in one tool. There is not need to carry around a lot of items when you can have it all in one. Click the link below to read the reviews on this item. You will not be dissapointed.

Power Theory Credit Card-Sized External Battery Charger Review

Well, let's get right down to this. I honestly wasn't expecting this tiny little thing to do much for my Samsung Galaxy S5. My phone seems to require so much juice in order to charge. At least this is the impression I get from other chargers I've owned, which can not get my charging percentage too high.

I was selected to receive this product free, in exchange for my honest review. Like I said, my expectations weren't too high, but I was still trying to be optimistic. Upon reviewing the contents of the package, I found, the ever so thin power card, a charge cord, and an apple adapter, (for use with iPhones 6, 5s, 5c, 5, and iPad Mini.) I put my power card to charge, and used up my phones battery, so that when the power card was ready, I'd charge up my phone with it.

My phone was down to 10% The power card was fully charged, so I gave it a try. In about an hour or so, the light on the power card had started blinking, indicating the charger was about to die. I checked my phone not expecting to see much of a change, but surprisingly, my phone made it all the way up to 82%. I honestly couldn't believe that such a small, little thing, so slim in size, actually powered up my device more than enough to use for the rest of the day. I looked over at my husband, who wasn't expecting me to give him the results I did. I told him, I was at 82%, and he was just as surprised as I was.

I can not say enough about how neat this charger is. If you're looking for a charger, that will not take up too much room in your purse, or something you can throw in your back pocket, then you're in luck with this thing. There is no need to carry around extra cables, or wires. This thing is ready to go with the built in micro-USB cable, and the apple adapter (if necessary.) Funny, I just had a thought. For ladies who love carrying around a small clutch, this is perfect for you. It's so light and slim, that you can stick it in your small bag, or wallet, and recharge your phone when necessary. Absolutely neat if you ask me.

You can find the Power Theory Power Card on Amazon.com, it retails for $16.95, and can definitely get you a good charge. Click the link down below, and check out the reviews. Hubby and I both recommend it.

Smooth Viking Beard Grooming Products Review

I have an extremely low maintenance husband. He's a shower, deodorize, dress, and go kinda guy. Very rarely will he use colognes, and lotions have to be a very basic, non scented product.  His job used to require that he shave any facial hair completely, but in the last year or so, they've been more lenient, and have allowed employees to grow out their beards if they wish too.

I wasn't a fan of the new trend in our home, I hated the beard. It was in MY way. I never understood, how it was comfortable for him either, but whatever. If he wants a beard, he can have one, it's like him telling me I can't have long nails, or long hair.

I was fortunate enough to receive a few beard maintenance grooming products, for free, in exchange for my honest review. I was really excited to show my husband since his beard is pretty long now. I'll admit, he thought I was crazy, this was something he did not want to use, and told me he would not try it. When the products arrived, I told him I wanted him to try 3 different products. He looked at me funny, but decided to give in.

We are now 10 days into using the products. There is a significant reduction in the amount of itch that my husband was experiencing, which is one of the biggest concerns he was having. His beard has seen a big improvement in the texture and feel of his beard too. It isn't as brittle feeling, or as coarse as it used to be, and we're both loving that.

The beard conditioner has helped nourish his beard, and added to the softness he is feeling in it. The beard oil has helped to reduce the itching he was experiencing for the past few months. I even notice that he doesn't scratch it as much as he used to in the past. Now growing his beard is a more comfortable feel for him. The beard balm is helping tame the long strands my husbands beard has. It feels thicker, and more lush, while still feeling extremely soft because of the 3 products he is using. We're both extremely impressed, and looking forward to getting his beard trimmed, to allow a fuller growth with the help of Smooth Viking Beard Grooming Products.

There is no fowl, or strong smell coming from the product, the 100% Natural ingredients,  make the scent a very soft a subtle smell. The ingredients contained in these products are Mango Butter, Argan Oil, Almond Oil, Beeswax, Avocado Oil, Shea Butter, and Castor Oil. This stuff is truly amazing, and there's no need to worry about harsh chemicals being so close to your mouth or on your face, and even better, the products are sure to last a long time, because you do not need to use a lot of product.

All 3 products are listed on Amazon.com, for a great price. I'll leave the links down below for you to check them out. My husband has highly recommended these products, and has even passed the word along to my dad, my brother, his dad, and his brother as well.

Take a look at the reviews on Amazon. These are 5 star products, and so very well deserved. They all come with a no questions asked money back guarantee.

3-in-1 Cree LED Flashlight with Magnetized Base Review

You should really check my nightstands. I'm a flashlight hoarder. My husband who works out of town overnight, thinks it's pretty funny that I can not be without my flashlights. I have a small one in my purse, a key chain, a couple in my truck, and of course the ones in my nightstand. I kid you not, there are about 10 in my house.

I was selected to review the AYL 3-in-1 Cree LED Flashlight, and was super excited about it. I wanted to compare it to the ones I have in my home, including the ones that are a bit pricier than your average flashlight. I wasn't expecting much from it. I mean, the concept seemed cool, it looked like a nice little gadget, but I wasn't expecting it to be as neat as it turned out to be.

I put in 3 Triple A Duracell batteries (not included) as soon as I opened up the package. With one press of the button the Cree light turned on. It was very bright, and the beam extended very far. The second click of the button activated the 18 LED lights, that cast a very wide bright light. In the dark, it lit up my entire living room, which was absolutely neat. By pressing the button a third time, the 11 Red LED lights are turned on, which can be used in emergency situations.

The base of the flashlight, where you twist to insert the batteries, is a magnet. This magnet is quite strong, as it held the flashlight in a horizontal position without it sliding and falling. The flashlight is lightweight, but it's made of a military-grade metal, that is designed to be durable, and versatile.

This flashlight quickly because my favorite. I think the company definitely thought of everything when constructing this flashlight. The ability to stick the it on a metal surface while you work under the 18 LED lights, is pretty cutting edge. Such a simple idea, that I've never seen on any other products.

This flashlight retails for only $19.99 on Amazon.com and ships free with Amazon Prime. The price is definitely worth it, and I highly recommend this product to anyone, and everyone. It can be used for scaredy-cats like me who hate staying home alone, for folks in the emergency field, for construction workers, oil field workers, truck drivers, ANYONE. I'm torn between leaving this in my truck, or by my bedside. I guess this means, I need a second one.

Check out their product page on Amazon.com, I'll have the link down below. It's a 5 star product, which deserves all the positive reviews it has. I'm in love with this flashlight, and think you would be too.

100 Glow Sticks Bracelets Review

In my attempt to keep one of the littles in my family occupied, or a little quieter when they're being too loud, crying, etc. I brought out my large tube of Glow Stick Bracelets. I received this tube for free, in exchange for my honest review, and couldn't have been more excited.

As I was saying, in my attempt to keep the kids occupied, I brought out the glow sticks tube, and showed them to the kids. I shut the lights off and bent a glow stick in half, allowing the chemicals to react and create the instant beautiful bright glow. The kids were excited. Not sure if they were more excited or if I was. I quickly assembled some bracelets, and had them running around swinging their arms around showing off the glow.

We love glow bracelets in our household. They're something we like to keep for any ocassion that may arise. Never though, have I had such a large amount at once so this was amazing to have on hand.

The tube of glow sticks come in an array of colors. 100 8" Non-toxic sticks in green, yellow, orange, pink, blue, and a few reddish colored sticks. They also come with 100 connectors, to make bracelets, and necklaces. The girls of course, went for the pinks and blues, while the boys, went for the orange and greens. These glow sticks glow brighter than most I've previously owned. Although they do feel slightly thinner, so do not bend them more than you need to, to avoid them breaking. I had one break on my nephew when he tried to thread it around his shoe laces to make his shoes glow as he ran. It caused a bit of a mess, but nothing we couldn't clean up right away. 

One other thing I did notice, was that the sticks that look like they're completely full from tip to tip, do not glow. This might be because they've been activated during transit, or while being packaged. For some reason though, it seemed like only the yellow glow sticks were the ones that didn't glow. This was a very rare occurrence though. So far only about 5 have been tossed due to this, and as I look through all the sticks, there doesn't seem to be too many left that look completely full. 

For $12.95 on Amazon.com (free shipping with Amazon Prime) this is an excellent value. Buying this amount in stores such as Dollar Tree, or Walmart can run out anywhere between $30.00 to $50.00. Not only that, but having a strong cardboard container to store them in is a huge plus. Buying in bulk in stores would create such a mess with all the separate packages, whereas these are stored in one place. 

Take a look on Amazon, to see what others are saying. If you want some crazy colors that glow extra bright, and last super long. These are the glow sticks you want, just click the link below to find out. They're an excellent value.
