Nice pencils with a great case!

I purchased from seller Sketchor, colored pencil set. I am always looking for some good pencils to distress by coloring adult coloring books. I liked that these came in a tube pencil case and that even without names of the colors on them.  

I really like the sturdy container; so many that I have tried come in these flimsy paper/cardboard boxes that fall apart easily. I always have to find a new container for them.

Pros:

• Bright, vibrant colors
• Smooth feeling when used
• Shape makes it easier to grip
• Non toxic
• Hexagon shaped barrel, makes it harder to roll across the table
• 48 different colors, although some are very similar, being a shade or two different
• Standalone storage container

Cons:

• Can not just easily pull out each pencil without almost dumping them out
• Breaks easily when trying to sharpen to a nice point for those tiny areas
• Have to press hard to get a deeper color
• Becomes dull pretty quickly

Overall:   My son loved them and claimed them for his own, saying their container was sturdy enough to survive in his backpack, unlike other pencil cases etc.  He says middle school is tough on everything. We both love these pencils, so I may have to buy another set for myself.

DISCLAIMER:  I received these pencils at a discounted price in exchange for giving my honest opinion. I do not have a relationship with the seller and manufacturer of this product.

Love my new replacement band for my Fitbit Alta

I purchased from seller Amy&csico, replacement band for Fitbit Alta. I wanted to get a different color than the one that came with mine. I really like the color they show.  Upon its arrival, it did not feel as soft and pliable as the ones that came with my Fitbit, it did in fact snap/buckle much easier than the Fitbit brand ones did.

Pros:

• Able to snap/buckle in place much easier than the original
• Band stays secure
• Comes with slide clasp
• Do not notice slide clasp is even there

Cons:

• none

Overall: 

I will definitely be on the look out for more by this seller in a variety of colors. Very easy to clasps the first time. Much easier than the original even after wearing it for the first week or so.

Top 5 Pens for coloring

I purchased from seller ArtPeach, colorful gel ink pen set. I am always looking for a good set of pens for coloring. I love the case these came in. When my pens arrived one of the pens base leaked all over, I contacted the seller and receive another set in about 48 hours, even though it was a Saturday that I emailed them.

Pros:

• Locking case
• Pens lock into place so they do not jiggle around when carrying them
• 3 types of colors – pastels, neon and glitter
• do not bleed
• fine point tips .7 – allows you to into those thin areas on some of the adult coloring books
• 36 different colors

Cons:

• Pastel barrels are not see through like the other colors so you can not see how much ink is left so you can run out when coloring without any warning

Overall: 

I love these pens. I have gotten some gel coloring pens have a medium to large, almost roller and while they give a lot of color, unlike ArtPeach, you could not get into the thin areas on some of the pages without going over the lines. ArtPeach easily allows you to get into those thin areas without going over the lines.

Wallet iPhone 6Plus case

I purchased from seller HiBLInc, iPhone 6Plus Wallet case for my husbands phone. He really liked the idea of having a case for his iPhone that could also replace his wallet. This case only holds 3 cards without problems, so a drivers license, debit card, 1 credit card, but if you need to carry more debit cards, credit cards, insurance card, gift cards, or store reward cards you will not be able get rid of the wallet.

Pros:

• Limits what you carry
• Real leather feel
• Protects phone and screen

Bulges when 5 cards
instead of 3 in slots

Cons:

• Can not hold a lot of cards
• Adding 1 or 2 extra cards makes it bulge and not close properly
• Awkward to hold and use phone as handset

Overall: 

Works great for women, they can put their drivers license, debit card, and work ID to go to lunch and leave their purse locked in their desk with all their other cards. Works for guys who do not have credit cards, they can put their drivers license, debit card and a credit card in it, but if they need other cards, as in insurance cards, additional credit cards, store cards, reward cards etc. they will still have to carry their wallets. Men might use it to for limiting what they can access to spend.
