Product review: Magtoe Women's Knitted High Density Foam Clog Slippers

These slippers are cute and warm. They have man-made plastic sole, they are lined with high density foam.  The HD foam is a little harder than memory foam which give my foot  a little more support while still being soft. HD foam is washable and breathable. The sole has no arch support, they are totally flat.  They are warm and comfortable to sit in behind the desk as I work, but because of the lack of arch support I don't do a lot of walking in them.

I normally wear size 7.5 and selected size 8 slipper. They are a very good fit, the sizing is true to size.

Product review: Anti-Aging, Anti-puffiness, Soothing, Firming, Moisturizing, 24K GOLD COLLAGEN Eye Treatment Mask by Deluxe Angel

I have tried a number of eye masks and mud preparations, this eye treatment is different because this preparation is not a cream or a mask but instead it consists of indivdual pouches that stick to your skin.  There is no mess or fuss, they are easy to put on and remove.  I keep them for 20 minutes (per instructions on the box) after I take a shower.  For the 15 minutes the pouches are on my face I can continue to do regular activities, they mask pouches not fall off.  Once I remove them I see noticeable skin smoothness and reduced puffiness. Of course, this is not magic, and the effect is temporary. After the treatment my face skin refreshed and cooled, so it is quite pleasant.

Product review: FAVOLCANO® 20000mAh High Capacity Ultra-thin Dual USB Port External Battery Charger Power Bank

Initially I liked this battery because of slim form factor.  However after one months of use I became disappointed with it as it seem to run out of juice faster than expected. I believe the capacity is overstated.

For reference here are the readings I got with a current monitor:
IpadMini draws 1.63A one the 2A port which is good for the iPadMini. It draw 0.93A on 1A port which is typical for iPadMini on 1A port.

It under performed for Nexus phone (drawing 0.43A on one port and 0.87A on another) where 0.43A is USB rate and 0.87 AC rate but below optimal.

The battery is very slim 6" x 3" x 3/8". It has two USB outlets and one (fairly dim) flashlight.

Product review: Skyhawk Acrylic Quilting Ruler Combo Pack of 2 Quilters Rulers

I am experienced quilter and I like working with these rulers.

* The rulers has a lot of lines and the lines are in yellow and black so it works well on dark and light fabrics. In my photos I show it on black and white fabric so you can see how well the lines show up.

* The numbers appears on all four sides of the ruler so I can tell at a glace if my fabric is lined up correctly

* Has lines for 30, 45, and 60 degree angles

* Has a hole for hanging, so I can store it on my craft pegboard

This is a simple product but it is well made with attention to details.

Product review: Gardena 8943-U Garden Hand Weeder

 I learned about this garden gadget from my neighbor. She has a beautiful garden and when asked her how she keeps her garden so weed free she showed me this tool. It is very sharp and narrow, so it work well in rock garden as well as a flower bed. It even works in removing weeds in driveway cracks. The sharp blade has a cover for when you store it. The handle is very comfortable. I just started my spring garden cleaning and this weeder made this chore much easier. I am using it in combination with Nejiri Gama Hoe weeder, which is wider and I use it when I need to deal with big patches of weeds.

Product review: CN65 Vintage Inspired Horned Rim Metal Bridge P3 UV400 Clear Lens Glasses

These glasses look pretty good on me! They fit well - both the width and the nose piece. The nose piece has movable arms so it adjusted to my nose shape and it feels very comfortable. The lenses are plain plastic - good as fashion statement or protection from wind. The frames are light and some what thin. The finish is shiny. They are a fashion accessory not a heavy duty frame you would expect for vision correction.

Product review: CHHUI E26 E27 3 in 1 Light Socket Adapter Splitter

I got this splitter for the basement. The splitter is rated for bulbs with the maximum of 60W for each outlet. The outlets are well spaced out and providing me more light then the old two way splitter. I am using the splitter with 8W LED bulbs. I also tested it with fluorescent bulbs all three outlets worked fine with both bulb types. 

The splitter is made out of light weight plastic, my old two way splitter feels a bit more solid but I had no problems using it.  The splitter has no switch or pull string, so this splitter is designed for an outlet with a switch.
