#Cube Product Review & Discount Code

I was so excited to be selected to review the Hashtag #Cube free, in exchange for honest review. #Cube is a digital picture frame, that streams your Instagram feed at more than 3x the size it does on your phone. I had heard about this product before, and was extremely intrigued by what it said it would do. I am an Instagram lover, I'm on it multiple times a day so having a digital like frame to display large images in my home would be just as lovely as it sounds.

I received my #Cube a few days ago, and have had enough time to play around with it quite a bit. This gadget, is beautifully put together, and resembles the Instagram Icon Logo you find on your phone. It's so beautiful, and so sleek looking, I really love it.

Top Buttons on the #Cube



The #Cube features a touch screen, which I found to be very good at responding to my touch. I was able to start it up right away, get it connected to my wifi, and log into my Instagram account, in under 3 minutes. Set up, is very easy, which is a huge plus in my opinion, as you can be sure that if you give this as a gift to anyone, young or old, they'll be able to get it set up in no time.





I loved that I could stream my feed, and had the ability to like any pictures or videos that popped up,using the heart button on top of the #Cube. I also loved that I could search hashtags, look up what is popular, and even look for certain Instagram users and see their feed. I did read somewhere that someone said you could not watch videos. This is absolutely false. You can definitely see, and hear videos. You can even connect your earbuds to the Audio Out on the back of the #Cube. The #Cube also has a rechargeable battery, so that you can take your cube, wherever wifi is available.

The creators of this product definitely didn't leave anything out, when designing the cube. It's a beautiful device that matches any decor imaginable. It comes in 3 different colors. Classic, White, and Black, and retails for $149.00. I will leave the link below to their website so you can look up more information.

This product is absolutely fantastic. It would make a wonderful gift for any Instagram addict like myself. Definitely check them out.

The Extremer Pathbrite Headlamp Review

Every weekend, we drive out to my parents ranch, to spend our Saturday Nights out in the country. My dad often has a BB Gun on him, or a pellet gun. Something to keep us all safe, should a coyote come creeping into the yard, or a Javelina. At times you can even see the grass rustling, and find there's a Rattle Snake lurking. It can be scary at times, but for the most part, it's the most amazing of times any of us in my family will ever have.



Along with his BB Gun, my dad usually has a flashlight on him. A Heavy Duty Mag-Lite, that he carry's in his pocket, and thought it's a pretty nice flashlight, the weight he has to carry in his pockets is a bit much, for wanting to sit and relax out there.

I was selected to review The Extremer PathBrite headlamp. I was super excited, because I thought this could be something we could use out at the ranch, and had hoped that it'd be better, than carrying a heavy flashlight around.




I received the Pathbrite on a Friday, and was so thrilled to get to take it out on Saturday. Let me tell you, this light lit across the ranch so much better than any other flashlight we have out there. It's so bright, and powerful, that my dad asked if he could keep it.






Now the battle between my husband wanting to use it for work on his hard hat, or my dad wanting it to use out at the ranch begins. I'll tell you one thing. I think my dad could get more use out of something this awesome. He'll probably win.




The Extremer PathBrite Head Lamp Features:

Three white light settings 9m, 65m, or 110m far.
This headlamp features SOS White bright flashing light for emergencies.
Red LED light for night vision
Red LED flashing light to be seen from a distance
High quality construction
120 hours of lighting with 3 AAA batteries (included)
Waterproof
2 Easy to use buttons.

The pathbrite cover color comes in black or white, and retails on Amazon for $35.97 and ships free using Amazon Prime. I will leave the links down below to their website, and their Amazon Page so you can check out the awesome reviews and get one for yourself. I can not tell you just how amazing this headlamp is, you really need to see for yourself.

Sacko Large Insulated Lunch Bag Review

Beach, Parks, and Ranch Days... all very much a part of my outdoorsy life. Things I love doing with my friends and my family. We all love getting together and hanging out, for hours on end. I received the Sacko Large Insulated Lunch Bag, free, in exchange for my honest review. This was perfect for me and my family, as when we're out and about during family outings, bringing enough food for us all is definitely a must.


The Sacko Lunch Bag is massive, it holds so much food. It measures 12.25"h x 10.25'w x 8.75"d. It has an adjustable shoulder strap, large main insulated compartment, multiple pockets, and elastic rope on it's side to hold beverages.

The bag is extremely sturdy, and the construction is top notch. No rips or tears in any of the polyester material. It looks like it's going to hold up for years to come. I did experience one minor issue, The elastic on the side of the bag was brittle. I believe it's from the bag being stored in temperatures too warm for the elastic to keeps it's stretch. I did contact the seller, who was quick to send me a replacement, although I wasn't able to claim the replacement in at timely manner. This was entirely my fault, but the sellers willingness to fix the issue immediately gave me a great impression about the company as well as the products they're selling.




Overall, this bag is pretty great. I was able to hold enough food for 4 people, and some utensils and napkins in the front pouch. Oh, one more thing, the outer pouch isn't insulated. So I didn't want to hold any foods that would spoil quickly. That's where I placed the napkins and spoons and forks. Worked out perfectly.

The bag sells on Amazon.com for $19.61 and comes in 3 colors black, blue, and red. The red I received was absolutely beautiful and vibrant. I definitely recommend this product to anyone going on a hike, to the beach, a picnic, etc. Click the link below for more info, and to read the amazing reviews.

Coosh 10000mAh External Battery Portable Dual USB Charger Review

I'm still on my quest to find the perfect battery charger, and let me tell you, the Coosh brand portable battery charger is one of the best I've owned. I was so excited to be selected to review this product for free, in exchange for my honest review. I'm constantly on my phone, and both my tablets, taking tons of pictures, and draining my battery.

I always hated having to carry around my wall charger, but what else was I going to do. More than hating to carry my wall charger, I hated not knowing if I'd find a wall outlet to plug into if my battery got low.

The Coosh Brand battery, is 10000 mAh, meaning it's one of the most powerful on the market. Actually, it's the most powerful portable battery I've owned. So far, I've been able to get my phone and my Samsung Galaxy Tab to charge up, and pretty quickly too.I've also tested it on my Ipad, and it gives it a full charge, with juice to spare.  I did notice that it takes quite a while to charge up the portable charger. I leave it over night to make sure it's charged up for the morning, when I leave. So far, it's worked well enough to not die on me, and keep my devices charged up, especially my phone, which I tend to lose battery power on multiple times a day.




You can also use the two USB ports to charge two devices at a time. I was able to charge my phone and tablet, as well as my tablet and iPad at the same time. Pretty neat, when you're juggling devices, and draining the juice from their batteries. 




Overall, the power this charger has, it's ability to power up your devices, and still have juice left over, is just fantastic. I am 100% satisfied with this charger, and can't express how much I absolutely recommend it to any and everyone. Although it isn't currently in stock, I do want to leave you with the link to their Amazon Page, so that you can keep checking back for it. It's totally worth it. TRUST ME!!!

Longest Lasting Super Bright Rim Lights Review

Living out in the country, The road being quite a distance from the house, it makes it difficult to allow my girl to go out on her bike when we go for our evening walks. I don't like her riding too far ahead of me, so she usually has to walk instead of bike.

I was selected to review the Longest Lasting Super Bright LED Lights, for free in exchange for my honest review. My girl was definitely more excited than I was.




Now, I was asked if I could review them on a stroller, which I did/tried. You'll see what happened there. I also wanted to use them on a bike which is what they're primarily for, unfortunately, my girls bike had a flat, so we couldn't take it out. I did get to attach the lights to the air valve, which it went on tight, and felt very secure, they truly are easy to install and remove.





My favorite feature of these lights, is that they turn off when they're not in motion. If your bike, or stroller stops, the light stops too, however, any bit of motion will set them right off so I'm not sure how long the batteries last. I did unscrew the battery compartment and flip one of the batteries upside down, just so that when we didn't need the lights they wouldn't go off, this is for battery saving purposes.

Since I wasn't able to take the bike out for picture or video purposes, I did attach the lights to the side of my niece's stroller. Now the wheels don't have valves so the next best thing was attaching them to the side of the stroller on one of the clips, which worked wonderfully. I was able to take my niece out on the road, and snap a few pictures. Not the best pictures but decent ones.





Overall, I think these lights are a great product. They're definitely fun, but even better, they make a great safety feature. For $12.95 on Amazon.com, I think it's a great deal. Anything that keeps our children safe, is definitely worth the money in my opinion. Check the link below for the Amazon page, and purchase yours today.

Quality Source Blue Landscape Laser Light Review

Never thought I'd be so amazed by such a beautiful light. I am beyond thrilled that I was selected to review the Quality Source Blue Landscape Laser Light, for free, in exchange for my honest review. I live in town, with too many city lights around here, so naturally my favorite place to be is out in the country, at my parents ranch. They have a small home out there, and a lot of land. Lots of family parties happen out there, and that is exactly why I was excited to review this light, because I knew that it would be a product that I could bring out anytime we were out there under the South Texas Sky.





The Blue Landscape Laser Light come in a box, with foam padding for protection.  It has the light, a stake to put into the ground, and the wall plug with about 3-4 ft of cord to plug in. It has heavy Duty Aluminum housing around the light, and the connectors are weather proof. I plugged it in inside my house, just to test it out, and it was absolutely stunning. The entire room lit up with the most beautiful of blue lights, and they seemed to twinkle all around me. I loved how the light cascaded from floor to ceiling, and from wall to wall. They weren't just shining in one direction, they were all around. It was almost magical.





I took the light out to my parents ranch, and turned it on facing their home. I was at least half a football field away from the house, and the light was just beautiful, all over the house, up on the trees, and even on the ground. The kids absolutely loved it.





I was happy to see that the laser lights use very little energy, so leaving it on for a long period of time, will not run your electric bill up. It's very energy efficient, so do not let the price tag on Amazon.com fool you.

I do think that this light will be used for many different occasions. Parties, weddings, and any other family celebrations out at my parents house. I can not wait to bring it out for all in my family to see.

Check out the light on Amazon.com,where it's currently selling for $99.88. One other thing I forgot to mention, is the instructions that come with the light, are basic instructions for all of the models this company sells. The instructions call for a remote, which isn't provide, to use different modes on the laser light. This light, is a standard light with no extra features so do not be confused about purchasing the remote. I do believe the seller is trying to get this cleared up. Click the link down below for more information. You will not be disappointed.
