REVIEW – When it comes to my phone, I don’t really like to use a case with it, but I also don’t want to accidentally drop it and scratch my stupidly expensive phone. So I use a case. I’m picky when it comes to cases. They have to provide some grip without being ugly or […]

REVIEW – Almost everybody knows what an iPad is. It’s become ubiquitous in our tech-centered lives. What almost everybody does not know is that there are tablets out there artists use that aren’t iPads at all. In fact, these tablets need to be hard-wired to a computer just to work. A company called XP-Pen makes
REVIEW – I am an insanely hot sleeper. No matter what I do I always wake up soaked in sweat in the middle of the night. Normally one would use a fan to keep cool but my husband is a cold sleeper and I can’t stand having a fan blow directly on me so I’ve

REVIEW – We have carpeted bedrooms in our home. Beyond that, all of the other flooring in the home is LVP (luxury vinyl plank) which is all the rage these days. What does that mean in terms of cleaning? It means that vacuuming simply isn’t enough. The floor needs to be wet-cleaned as well, and

REVIEW: The CAT S22 Flip phone from T-Mobile is a hunky half-pounder, but not as old-school as you might expect at first glance.

I do have the Chefwave Milkmade non-dairy milk

REVIEW – I have barely taken advantage of the wireless charging trend, the exception being in the car, but recently I picked up my third wireless device; the AirPods Pro. Shortly after, the Acefast E3 Fast wireless charging desktop holder came along, and it was perfect for my trio of wireless devices. What is it?
REVIEW – In late 2020, I switched from disposable multi-blade razors to traditional safety razors in search of a more consistent shave and because I was tired of running out of razors.

REVIEW – I make no secret about how much I like Totallee’s iPhone cases. In fact, the first thing I did after buying my iPhone 13 Pro Max was to order a case from Totallee to protect my new investment. So when Totallee offered me the opportunity to review one of their newest cases, I

REVIEW: This is the third Wuben flashlight I’ve reviewed and the company continues to impress with their quality products. The Wuben D1 EDC flashlight uses a pretty big battery. It has a 3.6V, 18650 size battery and is the smallest flashlight I’ve seen that uses that size battery. Subtract an inch off of any of
