Aleratec Multi-Tier Configurable TV Swivel Stand



We were thinking about getting the girls their own TV separate from ours for the other room so they can play games on the Wii, watch Netflix, Amazon Prime, etc. We didn't want to buy a big piece of furniture so this was just the ticket in making a room for them to have when they have friends over.

My husband has his own gaming set up and doesn't like anyone to play with his games, systems, controllers, etc, so we needed to make it so there was a set up the kids could use. This Stand is configurable so that it can be different heights depending on your needs.

A Reminder to take a little time for yourself







My oldest daughter is always running on empty so I thought since this hourglass iPhone6 case came in her favorite color blue I would get this for her to remind her to slow down and take a few moments for herself.

She may read this so one of her gifts she will know about sooner than later but I wanted her to know that time goes by so quickly you need to slow down and enjoy life sometimes.

This case is a clear case with an hourglass filled with colored sand, there are many colors to choose from, and it looks great on the phone as well.



You can find this hourglass case on Amazon in several colors.

4.8A 24W Dual USB Travel Wall Charger







One thing we never seem to have enough of mainly because I am still waiting for my husband to build a charging station for everyone's electronics. I have the design in my head just can't physically build it. So here we are with cord and plugs in every room but no one can find theirs.

The first one that disappears is mine even though I  only charge mine in the car or by my computer but mine goes missing. Yes we know it is one of the kids who takes it but you wouldn't know because they can never find mine or theirs. I think it is like the socks twin going missing they never are to be found again.

I really like this iClever charger because it plugs into the wall and can charge two devices at one time. Now I can charge my iPad and my daughters iPad all at the same time. Saves a little insanity from trying to find a wall charger, at least until this one disappears.

Aleratec 2-in-1 Tablet Stand/Hand Strap Holder

















I have a case I really like but it is getting worn out fast from constant use. I have been eyeing a new case I hope to get soon, but a nice alternative until my case comes in is the Aleratec 2-in-1 Tablet Stand/Hand Strap Holder. This is really nice.

I love how versatile this is, works for both people who are left handed as well as right handed which is really important since my husband is left handed and we have one child that is ambidextrous.

Once I get my new case this will still be used for when I need my ipad mini to be standing up or when I am reading a book online. This is a perfect way to read online books, magazines, and even video tape events around you.

Very easy to install, sturdy, comfortable fit for hand, and leaves the camera unblocked for use when ever you need it. Different elastics are included to get the right fit on your tablet from 7 to 10 inches.

Wireless Bluetooth headphones and armband combo


This is an awesome set for your teenage athlete, runner, trainer. Great for both teens and adults. Fit my daughters iPod with her case on it inside with no problems. Being able to keep her case on is a big thing so when she takes it out of the armband she is ready to go about her day instead of having to take extra time to put her case on again. 

She is able to use her iPod just fine inside the armband which is nice because there are other armband on the market that are near impossible to use. The headphones we love Aleratec makes a great product that my husband really enjoys reviewing. Well made products that stand up to the test of time and use, even by our children and that is a lot said because with these headphones at least they lose them before they break and don't work any longer. Now if only I can get them to stop losing the headphones I will be all set. 

The headphones are easy to set up with your blue tooth, no guessing. Life is easier when you have products that work well and do what they say they will.

Pink Perfume Lightning to USB Cable


How can a lightning cord be any better? I am glad you asked. How about one that scents the air as it is used? That is what I said. Scents the air as it is used. When this came in my 18 year old told me she wanted this when I was done with the review.

My daughter is all about scents, mediation (which I got her into), and lots of color so this cord was perfect for her. It has mild scent, not too overpowering. I thought the cord might be sticky but it isn't so that was a welcome surprise. If you have ever had to clean perfume off of jewelry then you understand the sticky part.

I am not sure how long the scent will last but it has lasted over 30 days so far from almost daily use.


You can find this pink perfume cord on Amazon.
