Leader Accessories Australian Sheepskin Wool Shoulder Strap Covers




Link to Strap covers in Amazon
Strap Covers

This is a set of 2 car seat belt straps or shoulder pads. These are made from real Australian Sheepskin Wool. The material feels so nice and soft. This really helps keep the seat belt from digging into my neck. Makes it so much more comfortable. The pads close over the seat belt easily with velcro. These are well sewn with padded rounded borders. I am very happy with the design and the quality of these strap covers. Please see my video for more details and a closer look.

Gem Stone King Simulated Opal Gold Plated Ring







Link to Opal Ring in Amazon
Opal Ring

This ring is very beautiful. It is actually Sterling Silver underneath with an 18K Yellow Gold plating on top. I did see the 925 stamp on the inside of the band. This is great because it is not just some base metal underneath. The plating is well done and the Yellow is a nice tone. 

The main stone is a wonderful 8 X 10 mm oval cut Simulated White Opal. The one I received is more milky cream colored than white. I see mostly Red and Orange flashes with a little Green here and there. All around the Opal in 2 circles are little clear Cubic Zirconia. One circle is a little higher that the other one. Those add some nice shine and sparkle to the ring. 

This ring is comfortable to wear and looks amazing. The stone is in a raised setting so it does stick up off the finger a bit. Just use caution so it doesn't snag on anything. The ring came in a nice gift box also. Please see my video for a closer look.

Anseahawk Digital Battery Tester



Link to Battery Tester on Amazon
Battery Tester

This is a great quick battery checker for a nice low price. This device will check AA, AAA, C, D, 9V, and mini button cell batteries. The read out is digital and very easy to read. You get results quickly and easily. The device doesn't require extra batteries to run because it uses the voltage from the battery your testing. I though that was really neat. The back of the device has a little reference chart to tell you what voltage reading are low but still good and when the reading is just too low. When you are testing a battery and it doesn't even turn on that means that the battery is dead. The front panel of the device also has info telling you which way to correctly put each kind of battery to get a reading. Sometimes it can be tricky getting the battery to be touching both metal strips when you are trying to get a reading. Especially with the button mini cells and the AAA. Sometimes I have to use both hands and position the battery carefully. With some practice you just get better at it. This device is light in weight and made from plastic.

This is such a useful gadget for me. I have this container in my home with a bunch of new and used batteries all jumbled up together. This device is great for finally going through that and getting rid of the bad batteries. Sometimes I have remotes that are not working right. Testing the batteries will let me know if my batteries are just getting low or my remote needs replacing.
Very useful device to have in your home. I highly recommend it.

HOLDPEAK 866B Digital Anemometer



Link to Anemometer on Amazon
Anemometer

Very happy with this Anemometer from HoldPeak. It has a well built design that makes it comfortable to grip in your hand. The construction is lightweight plastic but a very sturdy plastic. Not heavy at all and easy to carry around with you. The unit runs on 2 included AAA batteries. The screws on the battery cover ensure they will stay in place.
It also has a battery level indicator on the display.

Very easy to use. You just press the red power button to turn it on. You can toggle the temperature reading between Fahrenheit or Celsius with the touch of a button. There are 5 different units of measurement for your wind readings. Meters/Seconds, Kilometers/hour, Feet/Minute, Knots, and Miles per Hour. There are Max/Min and Average reading buttons also. I really like that this includes a backlight option. You press the button and a pale blue light brightens up the display. Great for when it is getting dark or you just need to see the display better.

My husband is going to use this to check all the A/C units and make sure they are still efficiently pumping out the right amount of air. Great tool for tons of outdoors activities too. I highly recommend this Anemometer.

Caperci Lucky Cat necklace





Link to Necklace on Amazon:
Caperci Cat Necklace

I love this cute kitty cat pendant from Caperci. I am very into cats. I am the proud mommie of several wonderful cats. This is the "Lucky Cat" design that is said to bring good luck to the wearer. I love the little smile the cat has and the black ears. It is covered in little clear crystals. That makes it really shine and sparkle. Especially when it catches the light and reflects it. The bigger crystal in the middle is a very nice Light Blue color. This is made from a nickel free alloy plated with white gold. The metal really does shine. Nickel Free is great for people with metal allergies.

The actual pendant is a little over an inch tall (1.38 inches to be exact). This is a good size that really stands out nicely on your chest. Not like other pendants that are too small to be appreciated. The loop on top and the pendant bail are both closed so your pendant won't get lost or fall off. The pendant has a good weigh too, not too heavy.

This includes a very nice chain. The chain is a good thickness. Not too thin and it does not get knotted up easily. The chain I received is about 16 inches long. It comes with a secure lobster clasp. Also included is a 2 inch extender chain in case you need more length on your necklace. Everything comes beautifully presented in a Black Gift Box and a pretty Black Velvet Lined Gift Pouch inside.

I have already gotten so many compliments about it. This is a great gift for any cat lover or collector. Great for adults or teens alike. Very well made and looks amazing and super cute.

Gem Stone King Peridot Sterling Silver Ring




Link to Ring on Amazon:
Peridot Ring

This ring is very beautiful. It features a Genuine Oval Peridot that measures about 8 X 6 mm. It is a wonderful light Green color. I love how this ring has a swirl design around the main stone. This makes it special and unique. Not just your common round or square ring. There are also little clear Cubic Zirconia. Those add shine to the ring.

This ring is Sterling Silver and it does have the 925 stamp on the inner band. The band is not too wide or thick so the ring is comfortable to wear.

I am very happy with the quality and design of this ring. I can easily recommend it. Please see my video for more details and a closer look.

Paper Pert Handmade Leather Journal






Link to Journal on Amazon:
Paper Pret Journal

I am very impressed with the quality of this leather journal from Paper Pret. The leather is real Water Buffalo Leather. It has that wonderful genuine leather smell. The stitching is well done also around the edges. I love that leather cord wrap. It gives this journal an excellent vintage look and feel. The flaps have pockets underneath for storing small items. The flap on the right even has loops to hold pencils or pens.

The sheets in this journal are plain white and not lined. The paper is medium thickness I would say. Not too thin or thick. it is also acid free paper which is great. I did actually write on some of the sheets to test them out. I removed those sheets for the video because the info was personal so I didn't want to share that :)

Also included as a bonus was a small picture holder with a button closure. That is a nice little extra. 

This journal is well made with quality materials. It is beautiful. I can definitely recommend it. Take a look at it on amazon for more details.

ETVR 3D VR Headset With Remote Controller



Link to Headset on Amazon:
ETVR VR Headset

I am very happy with this ETCR VR Headset. This is way better than the google cardboard. This headset has wonderful padding. I can press it against my face comfortably and get the best viewing experience. The back straps and the top straps have velcro so they are easily adjustable to fit different sized heads. Both my husband and I can wear this comfortably. It is not too heavy either. On the sides are knobs to adjust for focus also.

I have an HTC One android phone and it fit inside perfectly. I even have a cover on the phone and I didn't have to remove it. I do suggest closing the front slowly and carefully. This is made of plastic so any agressiveness may break that clip. The remote that comes with this has a nice shape and is easy to use. You do have to add 2 AAA batteries that are not included. For some reason it took 3 tries to connect the remote via Bluetooth to my phone. Now it connects just fine.

To test this out I downloaded several free apps from the Google Play Store. I recommend the Cedar Point VR app. It is a Roller Coaster ride. Those drops and loops were amazing! I felt like I was moving. You definitely need to be sitting safely when you do this! This VR headset performed perfectly.

Yes, I can definitely recommend this ETVR VR Headset. Well made and designed. Comfortable to wear. Great lenses and VR experience.

** Yes I had to splice in the quick clip of the roller coaster ride. I was holding the headset at a bad angle the first time around. All video is from this headset though. I am just not an expert on video yet. Thanks for your understanding.

Langria Contoured Natural Latex Pillow Review




Link to pillow on amazon:
Langria Pillow

Here I have the Langria Contoured Latex Pillow. I am very happy with this pillow. The best part for me is that it is not too high or thick. I like my head supported but not lifted too high when I sleep. This pillow has just the right amount of contouring to cradle my neck. One side is a little higher than the other side so you have a choice which you prefer. I would say this latex material gives a medium firmness support. It is not hard or stiff at all. 

This pillow comes with a very soft and nice cover. It has a zipper so it can easily be removed for washing. There is another thin cover over the actual pillow but that one is not removeable. When I first got this pillow it did have a slight rubber latex smell. I just left it out a couple of days to air out. That smell is basically gone now. It never really bothered me but I mention it for people who are sensitive to some scents. 

So yes I can highly recommend this pillow. It is definitely comfortable and pleasant to sleep on. It really helps me not wake up with a stiff neck. I use this pillow when I sleep on my back or my side. Either way it supports my neck very well.
