K2R-803 Cell Phone Portable Charger

The K2R-803 cell phone portable charger has a LED micro usb cable, a LED iPhone 5 usb cable and lights to indicate what it is doing. It has a monitoring system with over charge, over discharge, over current, over voltage, short circuit, over load safety with dual output AND it charges two devices at once.

The portable charger must be charged before use. When you plug it into the outlet to charge, the cable port will turn red indicating it is charging. There are 4 lights located on the side of the device that will flash as it is charging. A full charge is when all blue lights are lit up INCLUDING the cable port. It takes about 8-10 hours to charge completely.

This is indicating that the portable charger is being charged

My personal experience:

I read the little instruction paper that came with it and it was very straight forward. I plugged the charger in for about 8 hours and then proceeded to plug my phone's cable into the device. At first I was a little confused because it came with two cables, one for the iPhone and then one for any other device. So at first, I plugged it in using one of the lightning cables it came with and it was not indicating that my phone was charging. I then just figured I could use my phones lightning cable. I plugged it in and BAM, my phone was charging. 

This is showing that the device is charging. The blue lights 

show how much of the device has been charged

It takes a little while for it to charge, but I am thinking it is because I use my phone so much while it is charging that it just continues to suck the battery. If you placed it aside and did not touch it, it probably would charge faster. Then what is the point of that? Seeing as it is a portable charger and all!

I love how convenient it is though. While out and about, doing my errands, I can simply plug my phone into the portable charger and know for a fact that my phone will not die.

Peppermint Oil

Peppermint oil is therapeutic and has many aromatherapy benefits for your skin, hair, general well being and breathing. Along with these benefits, peppermint oil is also a natural insect and rodent repellent. You can also keep your kitchen, office and entire home clean and fresh because peppermint oil is anti bacterial, anti viral, anti fungal and anti parasitic. This means you can use the peppermint oil as a natural disinfectant.
Here are just a few benefits of peppermint oil:

• To sooth indigestion, flatulence or abdominal pain, massage several drops onto you abdomen, place a couple drops on your wrist or inhale to sooth general nausea.

• To sooth nasal congestion, the common cold and cough. message 2-3 drops along with a carrier oil onto the chest or drop peppermint oil into a humidifier to help clear sinus and lung congestion.

• To sooth a headache, use a small amount of almond or any other carrier oil and a drop of peppermint oil, rub on your temples, forehead, over the sinuses (avoid eye contact) and the back of the neck. 

• For stress relief, add peppermint oil, lavender and geranium to a warm bath.

• To improve energy and alertness, rub a drop of oil under the nose to help improve concentration and alertness.

The list goes on!

Now onto my personal experience:
I opened this and took a little sniff of it and you can smell the strong menthol. It is actually very strong to the point where it woke me up and cleared my nose. I applied a couple drops to my shampoo for the soothing feeling and the aromatherapy aspect of it. It was wonderful. It had a cooling sensation and made me feel refreshed. There was no burning sensation at all.

Now my mother on the other hand, she has been having some chest congestion and issues with her sinuses. Please do not do this without a carrier oil. We made this mistake. We tried just a SMALL amount onto a cotton swab and applied it to her temples to help relieve her headache. Within seconds, her eyes started to burn and water. She literally had to keep her eyes closed because the menthol was so strong. Within seconds, her nose felt better though. She did apply some to her chest and she mentioned it was rather soothing. After about 15 minutes of watery eyes and burning sensation, the feeling went away. She said she could breathe through her nose again.

About 2-3 hours later I asked if she was feeling better, she mentioned that she still felt sick and refused to apply more of the peppermint oil. 

All in all, the oil should be used with a carrier oil in most situations and needs to be applied through out the day. It is not something to use to get rid of it instantly nor is it a medication.

Lather & Wood After-shave Balm/Lotion - Unscented

The Lather & Wood aftershave balm/lotion calms irritation and eliminates razor burn. The balm is cooling and offers a refreshing finish to your shave. It is alcohol free, therefor it does not sting or burn. This is a great aftershave lotion for sensitive skin.

The Lather & Wood is a non greasy, hydrating formula that absorbs into the skin. Which will then leave your face feeling smooth. A little dab goes a long way.

Personal experience:
I did not use this or attempt to use it on my legs or bikini area. I had my husband apply it almost every other day for a little over a week. These are his opinions on the product.

He shaves in the shower in the mornings before work. He really enjoyed how refreshing it felt. He felt that it was best to use right after a shower as it helped him wake up and feel a bit more ready for the day.

The look and feel is just like an unscented lotion. Although he felt like he was applying make up initially and it was slightly oily and messy. After it was rubbed in and dried, is when he felt like it felt the best. It states that it is unscented, although it smells like a regular hand lotion and he felt like it would have been nicer if it had a masculine scent to it. (Lather & Woods does sale a scented aftershave balm)

After it has dried and the lotion has abosorbed, it definetly felt smooth. He could tell the difference where he applied the balm and where he did not. There is a big difference between using this and an alcohol based product. His cheeks were soft and smooth, but his forhead was dry.

All in all, he said he would continue using this product as he loves the fact there is no alcohol in it.

As far as my thoughts on it, I agree that there is no masculine smell to it. I would feel his face through the day and it felt very smooth. I could tell he was using it because you can really see the hydration of the aftershave lotion. His hair grows in pretty fast and thick so to see this working after he shaves nearly every other day was great.

RFID Blocking Sleeves BLOCKIT Credit Card Review

The RFID blocking sleeve is designed to keep your credit/debit cards protected. In this day and age, an estimated one third of individuals that have Visa, MasterCard and American Express cards have an embedded radio frequency identification chip that carries your financial and personal data. Within seconds, a thief can steal it using a digital reader that they can simply buy off the Internet. Without even touching you, then can steal your name, account number, cards expiration date and any other information off your card. Even while it is tucked away in your wallet and your purse.

The BLOCKIT Anti-Theft RFID protection sleeve is approved by the US Government and comes in six different designs:

• Haymarket Check
• Purple Argyle
• Moroccan Green
• Fleur De Lis
• Black Wallpaper
• Houndstooth

Each sleeve is engineered using three performance layers. One layer is of aluminum that blocks 13.56MHz frequencies. Another layer is a copper substrate that blocks all 125Khz. The outer layer is a glossy paper with full color design. Below is the Houndstooth design that I picked.

My personal experience:

There wasn't really a way for my to actually try this out to see if it works. I placed my debit card into it and it fit very snug. It looks nice, like a single card holder. I placed it inside my wallet and left the house. My husband on the other hand, had told me that his work badge has the RFID magnetic strip that allows him to scan it in order to get into his office. Below is a picture he took that shows he placed his security badge behind the BLOCKIT sleeve and the light appears to be red. Denying him access.

He also placed the security badge inside of the BLOCKIT sleeve and it too denied him access.

The following photo is him showing that the light turns green when it allows access. Notice that he is not using the BLOCKIT sleeve.

My husband did tell me that he normally has his badge inside a clear plastic badge holder and he can still gain access when his security badge is inside the badge holder. This goes to show that the BLOCKIT sleeve does work and protect your card. My husband approved it, and enjoyed trying it out. I loved the design and the sleek look of it.
