JettMe

JettMe is a website offering a useful service for budding social media influencers. It's an interesting website, for $97 you can get a "shout-out" on their homepage with links to your social media platforms. The "shout-out" they provide is just your Youtube channel name, your Youtube channel profile photo, and link to your Youtube channel, Instagram page, Facebook profile/page, and twitter account. They also have a live subscriber count feature on their page that allows you to enter the name of any Youtube channel and see a live update of the current subscriber count. It's a pretty interesting tool to mess around with and enter the names of channels you follow. I had never heard of this company prior to being offered a free "shout-out" in exchange for posting about their service, which makes me wonder how much benefit it provides. Of course, I don't pay much attention to social media marketing, so I may just be out of the loop. I could also be that the service is new and that's why I haven't heard of it. Either way, I am going to give it a try and after I do I will come back and provide an update about what it did for me. In the meantime, check it out if you're trying to grow you social media reach.

MatchaDNA Certified Organic Matcha Green Tea Powder

I love tea. I love all forms of tea. So whenever I have the opportunity to try a new kind of tea I take it. There are some tea varieties I end up not liking as much (or at all in some cases, I'm looking at you Rooibos!), but usually, I like most teas I try. So when I was given a chance to try this Matcha green tea, of course, I went for it. To me green tea smells like grass hay, I'm not sure if anyone else notices that smell or not, but it is unmistakable to me. That's a bit worrisome because I am allergic to grass hay, but I have never had any trouble drinking green tea so it's okay. Anyway, I was really expecting this to be just a small canister of tea to try out and boy was I surprised when I opened the box! I should have known it was going to be a big canister because it was clearly labeled as one pound of Matcha powder, but my brain didn't register that part until I actually opened the box and saw the canister. After marveling at the giant tub of tea I had just received I proceeded to smell it because I smell everything I get. I'm weird that way. It smelled like all green tea does, so my next step was to go ahead and make a cup of tea. I like Matcha powder for its ease of use. There's no steeping time required, which means it doesn't take as long to get ready, so it's perfect for busy mornings. I like this matcha tea, it's pretty good. I'll be buying more when I use all this up, although that might take a while.

This is a lot of tea, and it pretty good too. Get some at http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B077572GG8

Investing Quick Start Guide

This book is a great read for anyone interested in getting into investing and anyone who is just starting out in investing. The author provides a lot of quality investment advice in easy to understand terms without being condescending. I have read many books on investing in my life time, and they always seem to be written in a manner that is either quite condescending to the reader or in terms that a true beginner may not understand. This book manages to avoid both of those pitfalls and create a useful and helpful tome of investing knowledge and advise in a way that is easliy accessible to people at all levels of their investing journey. I highly recommend this book to anyone looking to get started investing.

Jadience Stress Relief Soak

I received this Jadience Stress Relieving Soak to test and review. Upon receiving the package with this item, the first thing I did was open it up and smell it. I am really sensitive to smells, and some smells make me feel ill (headaches, nausea, etc) so I always worry about new products. Well, I was pleasantly surprised with the smell, it has a nice sort of savory smell that reminds me of autumn and winter cooking. It does require a lot of the product, you are supposed to use about half of the bottle per bath so a bottle of it doesn't last very long. It does seem to help a bit with stress because a nice relaxing bath makes everything better. I think this product is a perfect gift for anyone in your life who has a lot of stress to deal with (so, basically everyone). It's a perfect gift any time of the year. If you through in a nice book and a good bottle of wine you might just become your giftee's new favorite person!

This is nice for a soothing bath. Get it at https://naturalskinrx.com/products/stress-relieving-soak

Dog, Cat, Horse Sore Muscle Pain Relief Spray

This pain relief spray works for cats, dogs, horses, and rabbits. I though my sister's dog and cat could benefit from this product because they are both getting old and having issues with arthritis. There are some ingredients in the spray that worry me as they are not necessarily a good choice for animals. One of those ingredients is "natural lavender scent" which is concerning because lavender is not safe for cats. The other ingredients seem to be mostly okay, though I'm not sure how effective they would be at relieving pain. It isn't really harmful, but there's no proof that it provides any actual benefits. It seems like an okay product to try for your pet if you have a pet experiencing muscle pain. Always speak with your vet before trying any supplements or products on your pet.

Matcha Green Tea Scrub

So, when I first opened the box this Matcha Green Tea Scrub I wasn't sure what to expect. The outer packaging is really nice and pretty with a vibrantly colored butterfly on it. It's definitely a good package design that will draw your eye to it on a store shelf. That outer butterfly canister removes to show a simple clear container full of almost sparkly green scrub. The outer canister is cardboard so it is biodegradable, always a nice bonus! There is a tamper-proof seal on the inner canister, which was a bit difficult to remove. The scrub itself has a slightly floral smell to it, but it's not to strong. It isn't goopy or wet, it's pretty much dry like a big tub of salt. It's easy to use, you just scoop a little out and rub it on your skin. It's not too gritty, so it doesn't cause irritation, but it is gritty enough to gently exfoliate your skin and leave it feeling soft and fresh. It's a nice product, great for aynone looking for a body scrub.

A rather interesting green tea body scrub. Get it at https://amzn.to/2Jf1HJg #MatchaScrub #Fleurdextase #MatchaScrubFleurdextase

White House in a Gray City

White House in a Gray City is the story of a boy who was sent by his overwhelmed mother to live in an orphanage in Pre-War Poland. The orphanage was the run by the famous Janusz Korczak (real name Henryk Goldszmit), a children's author and educator. The author of White House in a Gray City is Itzchak Belfer, who also has a children's book about his Janusz Korczak. This book is the story of Itzchak Belfer's life in pre-war Poland, including his time in the orphanage. The book follows the journey of Itzchak Belfer from his early days in an orphanage, through his travels to escape Nazi forces during the war, to his attempt to find his home. The story is full of sorrow and suffering but ends on a happier note. The book includes mention of the early days of the founding of the state of Israel, though it does seem to leave out or gloss over some of the more unpleasant facts of that era.

LEKEYE Bathtub Drain Hair Catcher

Everyone knows the woes of a clogged drain. It can totally ruin what should have been a perfectly pleasant shower. There's nothing worse than having filthy water back up on you while you are trying to get clean. One of the major causes of clogged drains, in my house anyway, is hair. I have long, thick, coarse hair that seems to get left behind everywhere I go in vast quantities. So we often have to unclog our bathtub drain because of the massive balls of hair that build up surprisingly often. So we are always on the lookout for new devices to catch the hair before it gets down into the drain and clogs up the system. This drain catcher looks like a great device for that purpose. Unfortunately, it won't fit our bathtub drain. I thought this one would be the right size, but I was sadly mistaken. So now I'm going to pass it off to my sister to see if anyone in the family could use it.

This little contraption catches hair so it doesn't plug up your pipes. Get one at http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07FQ8P63T

Stackable Shoe Storage Box

You can never have too many storage boxes. I keep these on hand for storing my jewelry making supplies in and my other craft stuff or any thing I don't want to get dusty. One thing I like about the shoe boxes is they are stack able but at the same time small enough to fit little places that other wise are no good for storing things in. I gave some of these to my dad. He's a gun smith and likes reloading his own ammo and these are perfect for storing brass and gun parts in, as well as some of his key chain collection, and they help him to be better organized. Some thing he really needed since he had things pilled and stuffed under tables in such a way he could not see what he had. These are also great for small kids toys like legos, cars, or other small toys kids like to scatter all over the floor. Good for holding small items while traveling too, and keeping pet food in when your on the go. I like these ones better then some I have bought in the past because they are a bit thicker plastic and don't crack and break as easily as some others do. I also like that the lids fit good, snap down tight and stay on. Get a set here https://www.groupon.com/deals/gg-cm-stackable-shoe-storage-box-or-storage-bins-6-quart-12-pack

Tibetan Singing Bowl Set

Tibetan singing bowls are a great meditation tool and they're also a fun little instrument to play around with. They sound really nice and the sound lasts for a while as it slowly fades out in a nice, soothing manner. I don't do a lot of meditation because I get bored and distracted so it's hard to focus and my mind always wanders. Everyone says that having a mantra can help, but for me it really doesn't work. This bowl does help me keep focused though, because the sound is nice and soothing and very easy to focus on allowing me, and maybe other easily distractable people, to easily hone in on it and remain focused on the sounds. It's also a pretty and interesting piece of decor for your home, so there's no need to try and find somewhere to store it when not in use.

Very nice singing bowl set. Get one here https://www.amazon.com/TANTRA-SOUNDS-Tibetan-Singing-Bowl-Set/dp/B074H9M63J/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1537447192&sr=8-1&keywords=tantra+sound+bowl&dpID=51zUnmjJxJL&preST=_SY300_QL70_&dpSrc=srch

TANTRA SOUNDS Zafu Yoga Meditation Bolster Pillow Cushion

This meditation pillow is perfect for anybody who enjoys meditation or anybody who is trying to get into meditation. It can also be used during yoga or other methods of exercise. Plus, it makes a nice cat bed! My cat loves it, she has officially declared it as her new sleeping spot and gets somewhat grumpy when she is removed from the pillow. It is a nice, comfortable pillow. It is also pretty small and compact, so it does not take up too much room, which is really important if you live in a small place like I do. I have found a lot of interesting things you can do with this cushion, as well. It is helpful for doing elevated push ups, you can put it behind your back when leaning on a solid or otherwise unpleasant surface. It is, all in all, a great little cushion for all of your yoga and meditation needs!

This meditation pillow also makes a good cat bed. Get one here http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B076CHQ4KP

Posture Corrector

Good posture is really important. Maintaining good posture can help prevent back pain, and can also make you look taller and slimmer. Maintaining good posture can be difficult, especially in modern society where we often spend a lot of time sitting in front of computers or staring down at cell phones. All of that sitting and neck craning can have a terrible affect on your posture. This posture corrector is great for helping correct that. It is easy to put on and comfortable to wear. It can be adjusted to fit most sizes of people. Anyone who needs a little help improving their posture should consider getting one of these.

This little device is great for improving your posture.

HyperPaws Floating Dog Ball Set

Tippy, our Australian Shepherd/Labrador mix, is a very big, very energetic fluff ball. Tippy really loves playing with balls, but many balls are easily damaged or destroyed, leaving poor puppers with a deflated ball that isn't as fun to chase. These dog balls, however, are made of a much sturdier plastic that holds up better to the strong chewing powers of puppers like Tippy. The balls also roll in wild random directions because of the bumpy texture on them. Also, that bumpy texture makes the ball easier to hold by some dogs with smaller mouths. The set includes three balls, one red, one blue, and one green. I plan to give one ball to Tippy, one ball to my sister's dog, Anubis, and one ball my kids are enjoying playing with so I'll keep the third ball. Our new kitten, Ski, also likes these balls because of the weird and random rolling patterns, though she is way to tiny to move the ball on her own, so I have to roll it for her. All in all, these balls really are great for dogs, cats, and kids. The fact that they float is also a great feature, because that makes them suitable toys for use in the pool or at the lake or river.

Cicloop Reflex Ball Headband

Recently I have been trying to get back in shape, and as a result, I have been looking for new workout routines. And since boxing is a pretty good workout, I thought this boxing training headband would be a good thing to try out. Except that I forgot how completely uncoordinated I am and my lack of eye-hand coordination. After about two weeks of practice with this headband, I still have a lot of trouble successfully keeping the ball going. In fact, in many instances when I hit it, it simply flies back and hits me in the face or chest. It doesn't hurt, so at least there's that. It really is a cool and useful tool, I will say. But if, like me, you lack eye-hand coordination it may take you quite a while to get the hang of it. I tried using both the lightweight and heavier weight ball and I find that, personally, the heavier ball work better for me. The lightweight ball seems to fly more "out of control" when I try using it. The headband is easy to set up, it velcros onto your head, and the elastic that holds the ball can easily be shortened to accommodate short-armed people like me.



This is such a cool product, it's a great way to improve your hand-eye coordination. Get one at http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07DQMT3YD

LEA & KEN Men's Tie

I got this tie for Zachary to wear for picture day at school, though I'm sure I will find it to be useful in other situations. I think it would be adorable for Zachary to wear a tie and a nice shirt for his school pictures. Ties are an important part any man's (or boy's) wardrobe. Some women and girls also wear ties, I know I had to wear one when I was in flight school because it was part of the uniform. Side note, I look terrible in a tie. Anyway, back onto the subject: I got this tie for Zachary and I think it will be a perfect accessory to his picture day outfit. The tie is solid black, a perfect match for any outfit. It is a slim style, which is popular now though I think the wider ties look better for the most part but this slim tie looks good on Zachary with his nice shirt. This tie would also be great for anyone attending any kind of formal events, such as a wedding, funeral, dance, or other event where you want to look just a little more put together. It is also perfect for daily waer if you wear a suit for work.

Fish Oil Supplement

Fish oil contains a lot of omega 3 fatty acids, which are an important part of a healthy diet. Fish is the best source of omega 3s, and fish oil is a great alternative for people who don't like fish. Fish oil supplements often have a nasty, fishy smell or taste to them, but these ones don't have any strong flavor or odor to them. These capsules are nice because they are mild in odor and flavor, but also because they are easy to swallow. The capsules are pretty good sized, not huge but pretty big, but they are really quite easy to swallow. They did not leave any kind of aftertaste in my mouth after I took them. I would recommend these fish oil supplements to anyone looking to boost their daily intake of omega 3 fatty acids.

Earth's Daughter Organic Aloe Vera Gel

Aloe vera has a lot of different uses. Most commonly it is used for treating burns, but it can also be used on other types of wounds, as a moisturizer, and apparently even as conditioner for your hair. That's a new one on me, but I suppose it is a valid possibility. I tend to use aloe vera to treat burns myself, not for any other uses, and since I get burns pretty often I figured this product would be a good investment for me. What is interesting to me is that the product I ordered does not match the product I received. The labeling/packaging is different and I didn't even notice this until I was preparing my video on the product so that is interesting. I'm not sure what happened there, I assume there was an error in the Amazon warehouse. But anyway, aloe is aloe, right? So I haven't used this product yet as I haven't had any need for it and had never considered useing aloe vera as moisturizer but I think I will try it out.

Superior Labs Magnesium Citrate Supplement

Magnesium citrate is commonly used to treat constipation. It's not a laxative, but it draws water into the intestines to help speed the digestive flow along. It works similar to Miralax. Now, with that out of the way, onto the product at hand. This product is marketed to help improve energy and boost bone and muscle health. I don't know how much truth there is to magnesium citrate improving energy, but I do know that having enough magnesium is an important part of maintaining healthy bones and muscles. This supplement, like many others, come in the form of powder inside of a gelatin capsule. The capsules are quite large but can be broken open if needed and the contents added to food or drink to make more palatable. The supplement doesn't have any foul odors, it has only a mild wheat like smell.

Magnesium citrate is good for bone and muscle health and can be used to treat constipation. Always consult your physician before using any supplement. Get this at https://superiorlabs.com/products/magnesium-citrate

BB Medium Gym Duffle Bag

We do a lot of traveling in my family, usually for appointments and such, but occasionally we try to take trips just for fun. Granted, it rarely ends well but we like to try. Because we have two kids taking trips for fun can be difficult, and there is a lot of packing that must be done. We have little baby Scotty and all of his gear, which takes up a lot of space of course. And we have Zach and all of his gear, which takes up even more space. So we're always on the lookout for new bags to use for taking our gear and supplies with us on the go. This duffle bag is the perfect duffle bag for anyone who likes to have plenty of packing room but doesn't want a bunch of duffle bags cluttering up the house, because not only does this bag hold a lot of gear, it also folds up into a nice, compact little square that is easy to store out of the way and takes up very little space.

Youphoria Microfiber Quick Dry Travel Towel

I got this towel because I thought it would be perfect for use washing the cars. It is a soft microfiber towel and it would work well for polishing a car. It dries quickly and is pretty small, so it is also an ideal towel for taking with you while traveling or going on camping trips. I think this towel will probably most get used, in my family that is, being taken on fishing and camping trips as it is small, light, and easy to pack and will quickly dry after being used. The towel has a weird texture to it that I don't like, but that is true of most microfiber items I have owned. It is soft, but it just feels a little weird to me and I don't like it touching my palms. That said, though, it is a good towel for many different uses. If you are in the market for a towel that dries quickly, you should check this one out. It would also be great for trips to the beach or river or any other swimming trip. The towel is small, so it is easy to pack and store, and it dries fast so it won't stink up your bag.
