Guitar Capo

This is a neat little item and something new to me but something my daughter had wanted for her guitar. She is all into music and this is nice add on item that makes playing a guitar really nice.

Currently she uses a string but this will be sent to her so she can use this to make music the like she would like to.

Easy to use just squeeze and place smaller part on the bottom of your guitar neck and the longer part across your strings where needed.

I think my father would have enjoyed using this on his guitar. I loved hearing him play.



This Capo can be found on Amazon.

Old becomes New

I have always wanted a portable record player. I remember my friends having theirs and being able to move it around from room to room, outside, or even bring it to another friend's house.

I had a record player and it was really nice it had disco lights on the bottom of it and it lasted me until I was a teen and I passed it on when I turned to cassette tapes. Wish I had help onto it but hey luck would have it that I would end up with my dream record player.

I love being able to listen to my old records from when I was little and a teenager. My middle daughter received one as a gift for Christmas as she is into the Beatles and pretty much all kinds of music from the 60's, so she wanted a record player to play all of the records we had bought her over the last few years.

Sometime old becomes new all over again, these are popping up all over the place. I love that this can also hook up to our iPods etc so we can also listen to the music we have in digital format, but nothing beats the sound of records. This even comes with a spacer for 45 records as well. Love this turntable and it would make a great gift for those going old again or for those who think this is new and have no clue.

This Portable turntable can be found on Amazon.

Proxelle

We have seen an increase in headphones like this that are both bluetooth and considered wireless. My husband says they aren't wireless until there is nothing connection one to the other ear, but he does like these more for doing things without getting caught up on something with a cord.

Easy to hookup to electronic items with the blue tooth. They come with several ear pieces so you can find the right fit for your body.

I love how small these are so that they can be stored away quickly. No more cords getting caught in your bookbag zipper or getting caught on something. Great for running, exercising, etc. The best part is the charge time only 2 hours for a full charge.

Calming Ocean Waves

I have never personally been to the ocean and it is on my bucket list to do so sometime before I leave this earth, but until then my sister send me pictures when she visits the ocean and I can listen to Calming Ocean Waves when I am feeling stressed out.

I can listen to this while I am doing yoga, meditating, and even trying to get to sleep. Very soothing. This would even be great for children having a hard time getting to sleep. This is 60 minutes long which means it is long enough for pretty much anyone to fall asleep too. A new favorite to my relaxation CD's.

You can find Calming Ocean Waves on Amazon.



REST AND RELAX TO THE SOUND OF SOOTHING OCEAN WAVES Do you love the sound of the ocean? Do you feel calmed by hearing waves gently break on the shoreline? This CD will allow you to bring these soothing sounds and their relaxing effects into your home. 

Whether you are unwinding after a stressful day or needing assistance falling asleep at night, this CD can help.

Enjoy this hour-long ocean track without the distraction of big crashing waves and squawking seagulls. All you will hear is ocean waves breaking gently onto a sandy beach.

This CD is 60-minutes of continuous, relaxing ocean waves that will help you relax and sleep.
