REVIEW – I have been searching for the perfect case since getting my new iPhone 14 Pro in October.  I used a Noreve Wallet Case I reviewed here on my iPhone 11 Pro last July.  I love having my wallet and phone all in a single carry item.  I was intrigued when the Geometric Goods […]

GOOLOO GTX300 Power Station review – convenient power in a tidy package

gooloo gtx300 5

REVIEW – Portable power stations are becoming increasingly popular because they are incredibly useful.  Now they are available in a number of different sizes, to meet varying needs.  Some of the larger ones are upwards of 2000 Wh, but that’s definitely not something you’d want to carry with you.  Those typically have wheels built in!

Jiccoda LE-1 Laser Engraver review – Also on the cutting edge

jiccoda le1 5

REVIEW – Laser engravers/cutters are everywhere these days.  Seems like a lot of people discovered during COVID that making unique, personalized, and custom gifts is a great way to cut costs and even, perhaps, develop a side hustle.  Like with any hobby, though, having the right tools is the difference between great gifts and owning a

EliAndElm SideSleeperPillow 9

REVIEW – I’m trying to get used to side sleeping, but it’s not easy to get into that habit! So I’ve got this fancy Eli & Elm Side Sleeper pillow to see if it helps. It’s designed to position you — and keep you — on your side at night. It’s also a premium pillow

BougeRV 100W CIGS Flexible Solar Panel review

BougeRV 100W CIGS Flexible Solar Panel 8

REVIEW – The BougeRV 100W CIGS Flexible Solar Panel is an extremely light, thin and flexible solar panel. Can a solar panel that can be fitted to curved surfaces actually continue to work? Does this very thin, less than a sixteenth of an inch thick solar panel convert sunlight to electricity as advertised?  Let’s find

noreve cover 4

REVIEW – Last month, my husband and I finally upgraded our iPhone 11 Pro phones to iPhone 14 Pro.  Since July of last year, my case of choice for my old phone was my Noreve iPhone 11 Pro Leather Wallet that I reviewed here.  So I readily volunteered when Noreve asked if anyone wanted to

AeroPress Stainless Steel Reusable Coffee Filter review – Simple, reusable, and durable

AeroPressFilter 14 1

REVIEW – When I reviewed the AeroPress and AeroPress Go coffee makers back in 2019, I was impressed with both products.  But in the back of my mind, there was one feature that I thought would have made both products just a bit better: a reusable filter.  AeroPress must have finally read my mind, because

Tronsmart Bang Mini Portable Party Speaker review – She may be mini, but she be fierce

TronAmart Bang Mini 3

REVIEW – As the holidays approach, you may be thinking of either giving—or getting—a Bluetooth speaker as a gift. Unfortunately (or fortunately), there are so many to choose from, I almost feel sorry for the person who has to choose. I pay close attention to what’s available and I’m overwhelmed. Besides the big players in

Fiido L3 Commuter eBike review – Go the distance and then some

fiido l3ebike 1

REVIEW – Back in the eighties there was a movie call American Flyers.  The movie had the distinction of introducing Kevin Costner’s mustache as a costar, but for me it rekindled my love of cycling.  Flash forward 40 some odd years and Father Time has been anything but kind.  I still love to get out

EPOSGTW270Hybrid 01

REVIEW – In May 2021 I reviewed the EPOS GTW 270 Hybrid Wireless Earbuds, and overall, I was quite impressed.  However, I thought they lacked two critical features.  EPOS recently updated these earbuds, but did they add the critical features I thought were missing?  Read on to find out!

Logi MX Mac 7

REVIEW – Like many of us these days, I work at my computer a lot.  I have a laptop, but that spends most of its life plugged into a docking station, so a good external keyboard and mouse are critical components.   The Logitech MX Master series have emerged as go-to products for professionals across many

REVIEW – The Skilhunt EC300 Multicolor LED Flashlight has 15 light modes. It took lots of practice to figure out the modes but I got ‘em now, and this flashlight became one of my favorites thanks to all it can do. It has a 0.5 lumen light that is great if you need a tiny
