Product review: Burnshield Premium Sterile Emergency Burn Dressing 4"x4" (10cm x 10cm) "Cools The Burn"

The Amazon stock picture shows a box with several burn dressings, so I was surprised that I got only one 4"x4" burn dressing. Burn dressings need to be changed frequently, so one bandage would not be enough if the injury is significant enough to need a burn dressing. When had I a serious burn the doc told me to change the dressing twice a day.

Amazon has many similar products with a better price.

Product review: IRIS GEMMA Silver Leaf Ear Cuff Crawler Earrings Ear Climber Studs Hypoallergenic Pairs


These silver-colored earrings are 1 1/8" long.  You put them in as any regular earring and then twist them up. It stays in that position by compressing the ear from the front and from the back.  The compression is not painful but I do feel it because my ear is not used to feeling something in that area.

Sometimes it falls out of the position but it looks nice when it hangs down as well so it is not a problem when I can't fix it right away.  Attached photos show it in both position.  I am not sure of the material of the earrings (description says gold plated) but I do know that if they had any nickel my ears would itch and they do not itch, so they are nickel free.

I like the earrings, I did not have anything like them before.

Product reviews: keep&fresh Cool Coolers Blue Lunch Pack Ice Packs




These ice packs are are just over half an inch thick and fit perfectly into my lunch bag.

I can fit one on each side of the lunch bag as I show in the photos.

Each ice pack disk measures 4.75" x 4.75" x 0.55". They keep lunch cool for at least 4 hours. I am very pleased with them.

Product review: C&AHOME 2 Tier Natural Bamboo Shoe Rack Foot Stool with Cushion and Storage Drawer







This shoe rack looks quite nice. It comes with a cushion so you can use it as a stool.  It can support the weight of my husband who is around 200 pounds. I decided I like all wood look better and we are using it without the cushion.  We are using the top as the shelf for purses, gloves and hats.
Each shelf holds 2 pairs of shoes for a total of 4 pairs.  It also has a shallow draw, which is 2" deep.

Assembly took me about 20-30 minutes.  It shelves comes with an Allen wrench. All hardware and holes lined up perfectly, the Allen wrench fit well but is just a  piece of metal without a handle and it was a bit cumbersome to use.  If I could use a screwdriver with a handle I would have put the shoe rack together in 10 minutes, but the little Allen wrench was a bit hard to hold. 

Overall, I am pleased with look and function of this shoe rack.  The only thing that is not working perfectly is the metal piece that is supposed to hold the drawer up. It is too loose and and does not stay stiff. I tried using various tools  but nothing fit it. My best attempt was using a small Allen wrench from my bike tool kit to hold one side of the rivet and then using thin nose pliers to turn the rivet to tighten it. I felt like I was able to turn it but I could not make it tight enough.  So I have to hold it up with a hand, not a big deal.

Product review: SHINE-CO Stickers 100-Pcs PVC Decals Waterproof Sunlight-Proof



This is a set of 100 stickers on a large variety of subjects - some are cute, some are animals, some are various cities, some are rude, some have naked ladies.  There is something for everyone, but probably not all stickers would be usable by one person for the same reason.  Each theme has 6-10 stickers, so if there are stickers that are not a match they would be a small percentage of the overall number of stickers. The stickers stick well and the ones we put on the bike handled the rain fine.

Product review: Gardeneer By Dalen Bird-X Protective Netting 7' x 20'



I purchased this netting in 2013 to protect miniature raspberry bushes from the birds. I have been able to pack it up for the winter and re-use for summers and will be using it again this summer.

The size of the netting openings is just right and it was fairly easy to work with.
I am attaching a photo which shows the netting on my hand so you can see the relative size of the netting grid, as well as over the potted raspberry bush so you see how it looks from a distance.

Overall, it totally lived up to my expectations for protection and longevity.
