External drives

Sometimes your DVD drive will break down in your computer and you want a quick fix sot that you can get on with what you are trying to get done. This is where the External Drive comes in. I won't kid you this is mainly my husbands field but I have to say that external drives come in handy.

My daughter was gifted a used computer for Christmas and soon after the drive stopped working so we were able to replace it with an external drive and keep her up and going. Mainly so she didn't have to use our computers.

My husband worked off an external drive when he was going to college for his classes and he really saw a big use for them even in our regular lives at home. Very easy to set up and use. I am very glad for the people who come up with these items so you can continue to use your computer's long after some parts have stopped working.

These will even burn disc so you can make family picture discs for your family, back up your files, and even store pictures of all of the school art that you just don't have enough room to actually keep. They will preserved for all to see as long as there is a live disc somewhere.

The Novapolt External Drives can be found on Amazon.

Lighted Leash

Walking your pet in the evening, late night, or early morning can be really dangerous if you are not wearing clothing that other can see. With the lighted leash available in several colors you can be sure that you and your pet are seen when it is dark outside.

This is a nice size leash and one you can mix and match with the lighted collar which is sold separately. You can read about my review for the lighted collar here. They make a great pair and are great all on their own. Our Saint loves her jewelry which includes her leash and collars. I love that both the collar and leash both are rechargeable so that you don't have to worry about replacing the batteries everytime they die out.

The length is nice and works well with both small and larger dogs. We are very happy and so is our Saint.

The Shine For Dogs Leash can be found on Amazon.

Portion Paw®

Looking for a pet food scoop that also measures for you? You might want to check out the Portion Paw® which does both for you.

None of our animals are overweight but I have still taught our children to measure out the animals food so that they are fed well but not too much.

This scoop does it all from our kittens to our Saint Bernard. It has 1 cup 1/2 cup and 1/3 cup measurement. Very happy with this scoop. The best part is what it has a clip so you can keep it attached to your pet food bag, We added a magnet on the back of ours so it would stick to our cabinet for easy grabbing when needed.

Beauty Lally

Beauty Lally has a nice set of synthetic brushes that comes with a really nice case that can be closed for travel or left open on your vanity.

It also includes a nice compact mirror as well as a pamphlet that lets you know what each brush is used for.

I really like how each brush has writing on it to tell you which brush you are using, which is great for newbies to makeup or those who haven't used makeup brushes for a while.

The case that you get is really nice, much better then putting your brushes into a cup from the kitchen.
