Olight Warrior Mini 2 flashlight review

olight warrior mini 2 4

REVIEW – A reliable flashlight is an important part of everyone’s EDC. But the downside of most flashlights is that their batteries always seem to be dead just when you need to use one. The Olight Warrior Mini 2 flashlight solve this problem because you can recharge the battery while it’s still inside the flashlight. […]

Govee Glide Wall Lights review – easy, bright, and neat!

govee lightbar 11

REVIEW – I’ve long wanted to add some kind of wall lighting in my basement office (which due to a single tiny window seems to always feel dark). I’ve considered purchasing much more expensive wall lighting solutions but hadn’t pulled the trigger yet so I was excited when Govee sent over their upcoming Govee Glide

Honeydew Sleep Scrumptious Side Sleeper Pillow review – A pillow that’s infused with copper!

honeydew pillow 1

REVIEW – Most of us spend 7 or more hours a night sleeping so it’s obvious that a pillow is an important “tool” that can positively or negatively affect our sleep. When it comes to pillows, I’m incredibly picky. I’ve reviewed quite a few pillows over the years only to stow them in the closet

GEFT Stand Mixer review – low price, hopefully not low lifespan

geft mixer 5

REVIEW – I was introduced to stand mixers over 17 years ago while creating a wedding registry at Target.  The eye-watering price of the brands available back then was a shock, and many of the units on the market still cost a small fortune. However, our wedding-gift stand mixer has lasted all these years, lending

RapidX MyCharging Station review – Charge all your gear from one outlet

MyChargingStation 16

REVIEW – Over the past few years, my family (and there are just two of us!) has accumulated a wealth of devices that need charging.  We have charging stands located throughout the house and they are all sorts of different configurations.  One thing in common that they all have is that they take up counter

Bolstr Small Carry 3.0 and Aux Pocket gear bags review – EDC bags for minimalists

bolster bags 17

REVIEW – I just returned from my first “away” vacation since May 2019! To say that it was a long time coming is an understatement. Before we left, I had to deal with the age-old question – which bag do I take on the trip? As luck would have it, I had an easy answer

Acebeam PT40 Multipurpose Work Flashlight review

AceBeam Rev 045

REVIEW – An integral part of any Everyday Carry (EDC) is a dependable flashlight. After all, if you can’t see what you’re doing the rest of your gear is pretty much useless. Over the years I’ve accumulated a good number of flashlights, most of them practically bombproof and reliable, some of them not so much.

BTR Bar review – Delicious plant-based protein bars that are keto friendly

btr bars 5

REVIEW – I guess you could say that I’m obsessed with meal replacement bars. Let me preface that by saying that I’m obsessed with low-carb keto-friendly meal replacement bars. Why? Because they are an easy option for a quick breakfast, or lunch when you don’t feel like taking the time to cook and for me,

ANYCUBIC Vyper Auto-Leveling 3D Printer review – beginner friendly but not basic

anycubic vyper 36

REVIEW – I’ve never dabbled in 3d printing before, one big reason being that it seemed to be a complex hobby with a steep learning curve. I’ve eyeballed some cheaper 3d printers in the past but never pulled the trigger after reading reviews where they were either limited in functionality, or not as beginner-friendly as

Simplehuman rechargeable liquid soap dispenser review

simplehuman soap 7

REVIEW – Germs and bacteria are everywhere. They are even on one thing that can kill them – a soap dispenser. We find hands-free soap dispensers in many public restrooms, but I’ve only recently had one in my home. It’s the Simplehuman rechargeable liquid soap dispenser. Let’s check it out. What is it?
