Product review: OImaster Teal Laptop Stand for Desk Laptop Holder Riser

 

The OImaster Stand is well-designed for travel. It is lightweight and works for laptops, tablets, and phones.

The stand is made of plastic parts that fold and turn to make different configurations. It does not have industrial strength, but it is sufficient to hold a light laptop and any type of tablet or smartphone.

It fits laptops and tables of 10 to 17 inches and any size smartphone. In my photos, you see Pixel 6Pro, a relatively large phone.

The stand is 10.3 X 2.8 X 1.7 inches, weighing 10.6 oz.

Product review: Durelife Monk Fruit Sweetener

 

 

Durelife Monk Fruit Sweetener is a zero-calorie alternative to traditional sugar, allowing me to enjoy sweetness and feeling good that I am consuming less sugar.

Monk Fruit sweetener is my favorite cane sugar substitute. It has the most "natural" flavor and does not cause me any digestive discomfort. It also has no after-taste.

However, you should know that it is less sweet than regular cane sugar. To my tastebuds, one teaspoon of Monk fruit sweetener is slightly less sweet than one teaspoon of sugar. The other obvious negative is that it is much more expensive than cane sugar.

For my morning coffee, I mix natural sugar cane and Monk Fruit sweeter to lower the sugar level and decrease the price of the sweetener I use for each cup.

Review of  Durelife Golden Monk Fruit Sweetener

Very good flavor, but not 1 to 1 with sugar cane.

Disclosure: I fully paid for the purchase of the Monk Fruit sweetener, however if you follow my recommendation and use the link above I will receive a comission on the sale.

Product review: BAKKO Purse Strap Replacement 2" Wide Shoulder Strap for Crossbody Bags

BAKKO strap is a high-quality strap, substantial, 2" wide. The color is golden and black with some moss green. One side is predominantly black; the other side is predominantly golden. I am using it with a brown purse, and it looks nice.

Product review: Monitor Stand Riser, Klearlook Foldable Computer Monitor Riser

 

The Klearlook stand feels very solid. The neat thing about the stand is that it can be reconfigured in several ways depending on how wide you want to make it. The feet can be totally folded down, totally opened, or one can be folded and another extended. These folding positions give me three options for the width of the riser. The riser has two small draws: one becomes a stand for the phone, and another can be used to store small items such as a YUBI security key or some memory sticks.

The stand is rated to support weight up to 55 pounds.
The stand's size: 16.5"wide x 7.8" back to front x 3.1" high

Overall, nice stand - sturdy and stable.

Product review: ASUS ROG STRIX Arion Aluminum Alloy M.2 NVMe SSD External Portable Enclosure Case Adapter

 

 This is a good-quality aluminum enclosure. It looks and feels solid. Because the case is metal, it cools well. I use it to store a large SSD card as an external backup of my critical data. Since it stores critical files, I wanted to use a well-cooling case, and this enclosure fits the bill. It came with type-C to type-C cable, as well as type-C to type-A cable. It also comes with a bumper case and Velcro hook. The Velcro hook turned out to be very helpful, as I use it to hang it on the computer rack when I am making a backup.

Product review: SmartHeart Automatic Digital Blood Pressure Arm Monitor (video review)

 

 The blood pressure monitor fits arms from 8.6" to 16.5". The latching mechanism works well; latching the cuff with one hand is easy. I find it easier to work than Omitron. The results seem to match close the results that my doctor gets in the office. The measurements are not exactly the same, but they are close enough. If I take multiple measurements one after another, the measurements stay within 10 points of each other. This is not perfect, but not too bad.

Food review: HelloFresh food service review

 

HelloFresh delivers a box with all ingredients needed to cook the recipe. You still need to cook, but I don't need to shop. You don't get to pick the ingredients, but the ingredients I received were of good quality. I selected three dishes for 2 (a total of 6 servings). Without a promotion, your cost is $70 and $6 shipping. Too much for what you get, in my opinion. However, with various promotions, you can get the price to be reasonable. I consider $5 per serving to be reasonable.

I was impressed with the packaging. HelloFresh was brought to me by a local delivery (not one of the big guys), they followed my instructions, and the package arrived on time. The box was insulated, and the bottom had a block of large ice covering the entire bottom of the box.

I ordered three proteins beef, pork, and chicken. Each came as a 4 oz package. The vegetable was fresh. The sauces were flavorful. Each meal came with a detailed recipe that was fairly easy to follow.

So the bottom line is that this approach is more expensive than shopping yourself; you still do the cooking. However, it is more convenient, especially for the less confident cooks.
