Helping Hand Review



Helping Hand 


Product Description

The Helping Hand will hold your phone or tablet securely on your desk, kitchen counter or in your car, truck or boat without moving or breakable parts! It's made of heavy duty ABS plastic and comes with a washable sticky pad. Use it also to hold your phone while making a video by simply turning the HH on it's side and sticking the phone to the sticky pad. Available in black or white.



Depending on which color you choose this is how they come. One stand and one sticky pad.


This is the picture that got me interested in the Helping Hand. I tried this and it works just like the picture shows. I didn't really understand what to do with the big bulky plastic piece besides put it on my desk so I could type faster from information I have for my blog. It said it was good for use in a vehicle and I just could not figure out how to do so until it dawned on me that the round bulky thing can fit into a cup holder in my vehicle, then everything clicked. I thought I had to rip the pad off of the stand every time I wanted to use it in our vehicle. Being blonde is not always fun, OK fun for everyone else just not us. So laughing aside I took it for a whirl.



As you ca see it looks really nice in my cup holder and I can easily see my Smart phone from where I sit while driving. Although we don't use our smartphone in the car unless there is a passenger that can take the call, or message. Most of the time our smartphone just sits on the stand in our house. 

The only time our phone was inseparable from us was when my mom was terminal and when my oldest daughter was at the end of both of her pregnancies, other then that it hasn't been very important to keep it with us. 

I spend most of my online time on my laptop which is where I found the Helping Hand most useful.



I can now type more quickly by bringing up what I need for information for my blogging on my smartphone or tablet then typing from that information onto my laptop, and the Helping Hand keeps it at the right angle to do so, no more changing from screen to screen, or picking up my tablet to see what I should type next. It has been a lifesaver.


You can also lay it down to record things with video 
or


place it this way 
and


watch a video without having to hold onto your tablet or smartphone.

So from that big bulky thing I didn't know what to do with, I found out that the Helping Hand is very useful indeed and I hope you will too.

You can purchase the Helping Hand at Amazon.

MarksvilleandMe reviews Garcinia Cambogia Supreme 80% HCA 

I do not like to put to many things into my body that I do not know much about, but decided to try this for a while to see what happens. I haven't had any adverse effects and I am down 6 pounds on the scale, plus we found out it has 99mg of Potassium so this may be a good thing for my husband to take instead of worrying about his potassium levels all of the time, we will check with our Dr. next time we have an appointment. 

This product promises many things and I would have to take it a lot longer to give my absolute opinion on it but so far so good. Will update everyone on how I am doing over on my site. Pam's Fight to Lose Weight  if you would like to keep tabs on my weight loss.

MarksvilleandMe reviews 3-in-1 Coloring Book - Meet Lulu: Activity Book & Kids Stylus & Coloring App

First of all besides using the computer I don't really use Apps, so I had to teach myself how to download and use one. My husband and children are quite comfortable engaging in Apps but I am a bit late in learning. Once I figured out my tablet which is brand new could  not support that App (time for an upgrade) and that my much older smartphone could, I was ready to let my 6 year old daughter take the reins and give Painting Lulu a go.


The 32 page coloring book can be used as is or digitally uploaded through a scan code unto your compatible smartphone or tablet. Also included is a crayon stylus, very kid friendly.

The Painting Lulu App comes with one picture and is free* so you can try it without buying anything else you would just have to use your finger to color with instead of the stylus that comes with the coloring book. I did find two other coloring books you can download and they are .99 *. 


This kept my 6 year old daughter very occupied for a long time, will be downloading the other two coloring books soon. I know this will be great for my grand daughter who also loves to color, but often colors on the walls instead, no mess this way, which means no more lost crayons, markers, or pencils in my vehicle either. My 11 year old was happy that both her and my younger daughter can color the same pages, and then either share them with family on facebook, or print them out. Sure hope Painting Lulu comes out with more coloring books.

MarksvilleandMe Reviews 2 Ozeri WeightMaster 400 lbs Digital Bath Scale 

As most of my readers know I have been fighting to lose weight. My husband and two oldest daughters joined the fight with me. We support each other and that is what has made the big difference for all of us. 
I was happy to get the 2 Ozeri WeightMaster 400 lbs Digital Bath Scale so that we have more then one in our home, as we have two floors. I like to check my weight daily as it tends to fluctuate severely through out the month.  With being a women I am sure other women can understand. 


For my husband it was a big thing for him to finally abe able to get on a scale in our home. He had an accident at work almost two years ago now that caused him to be off of his leg for quite a long time causing more weight gain, then on top of that he got edema from the weight gain which added even more weight so his weight was through the roof and could not be monitored from our home. Just a few weeks ago he was finally able to register on this scale, and he felt so good. The medicine the Dr. put him on and our lower calorie intake was working. It is much easier to take care of your weight if you know what it is. 


This Digital Scale is nice because it can do up to 5 people which happens to be the right amount for those who live in our home. The Ozeri Scale also does BMI for those who are watching those numbers. This scale has been very helpful towards our weight loss, and something I recommend for anyone watching the numbers on the scale. 

You can purchase this Scale in White or Black on Amazon
