Pitaka MagEZ, MagEZ Pro and Air iPhone 13 cases review

pitaka iphone13 cases 20

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 […]

XP Pen Artist Pro 16 17

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

Embr Labs Wave 2 review – a wearable heater or cooling device on your wrist

EmbrLabs Wave2 8

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

JackWolfskin DynamicM 3

REVIEW – In the late summer and early fall, the temperature differences call for clothing layers that are versatile and adaptable.

LunaGlow Nano cordless vacuum/mop review – one-pass cleaning

lunaglow nano 22

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

CAT S22 Flip smartphone review – Chunky but not clunky

CAT S22 12

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. The ‘top half’ of the phone is a very functional smartphone, but through a fairly small screen. I’ll describe how I put it through its paces, and if it’s capable enough to

REVIEW – When it comes to my kitchen countertops. I like them to be clutter-free. That includes appliances and their cords. I keep the toaster in the cabinet along with other appliances like the Cuisinart GR-5B Series Griddler FIVE tabletop grill and panini press that I reviewed. 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.

Henson Shaving AL13 Mild Safety Razor review

HensonShaving AL13 Mild 01 1

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. I tried razors from many well-known brands and selected a daily-driver (well, every-few-days-driver) razor that I’ve been using for the past six months.

Wuben D1 EDC flashlight review – small but bright!

WUBEN D1 20

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
