Pros:
  • .8 MM fine tip glowing neon pens (can really notice the glow with LED lights)
  • Rolls smoothly across surfaces
  • Seems to last longer than some of the other brands I have used
  • Metallic pens glide just as smoothly across paper as the other colors
  • Glitzy Glitter pens with 1MM tip (does not clog up as much as some other brands) and glides across without clumping up
  • Can see how much ink is left in pen
  • Have not experienced any leakages, bleeding or odors when using
  • 1 set of refill inks came with these pens
  • Easy to open and replace inks
  • Bright and vivid colors


Cons:
  • Pens and refills are not labeled so you have to match the inks before replacing


Overall: 
I honestly love these pens. I love all of the colors. I love the way the glitter and the metallic inks flow and look.

Perfect for anywhere! Drive-in must have!



I purchased from seller Alisten E-tRon, portable wireless Bluetooth speaker by Aulker. I was looking for another Bluetooth speaker. I have one that has screw connection on the bottom allowing you to attach to tripod but does not have FM radio or SD card reader. My son has a Beats Pill but it does not have an option to update it and after the 1st year it would not hold a charge and kept (keeps) dropping Bluetooth connections. I liked the fact that this one does have FM radio. I really dislike the fact that you can not see what FM station you have it on and that each time you turn it off and back on it resets the FM station to what is static for us and we have to go up or down to find a channel. I have actually gotten more than 10 hours out of the battery, but that is because we listen to it for an hour or so each morning while getting ready for the day, and sometimes at night in the bath. If I had to give a guess on the total length of time for the last charge, I would have to guess at about 15 hours. We took it to the drive-in, it had much better sound than the portable stereo we always take, except for the extremely loud sound effects, we had some feed back when the volume was up.

Pros:

  • 10 hour play time power (with us, turning it off and on for an hour or so at a time, we got around 15 hours on 1 charge)
  • FM radio (can not see what station it is on and it resets back to original setting every time you power it off)
  • Micro TF/SD Card (have not used this feature yet but am excited to try it)
  • USB import (have not tried this yet but plan to try it soon)
  • Built-in Microphone 
  • 3-4 hours for complete charge
  • AUX cable connection available
  • On/Off switch (like this feature, sometimes with the press button, you have to hold for several seconds to power on/off)
  • Easily connects (quickly reconnects to last devise and easily connects to others)
  • Lightweight (did not notice any extra weight in my purse, thought I had left it at home)
  • Crystal clear, has a nice base sound too (unless you max volume and have loud sound effects going off, then you get a little bit of static feed back)
  • Rubber on bottom to prevent slipping a
  • Loud for its size (sounded much louder than the portable stereo we were using, even at a lower volume)
  • Small enough to carry in my handbag


Cons:
  • Light indicating charge complete is on back under the connection
  • When switching to FM mode it reverts to the same station it came on, which for me is static, wish it would revert to your last used FM station
  • Does not have a display for what FM station you are on

Overall: 
I love it. I love the fact, that if I forgot my electronics downstairs, I can still use the speaker, in FM mode, to listen to music while getting ready. I may have to get another to keep in the home office/study/sewing room. This is perfect for drive-in nights, you don’t have to have batteries for a portable stereo, or have to worry about car battery or having the car running and using gas.

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.

Decorating fun with Wire String Lights!

I purchased from seller Oak Leaf LLC, 2 set of 30 Green wire string lights. I have always liked the lights people put in bowls, bottles, vases, etc., and I have looked for some reasonably priced ones when I had extra money, but had not had any luck. I saw these and thought that they were very reasonably, if they lasted as long as the warranty and even more so if they lasted half as long as their stated lifespan of 26 years. I want to have something different for our party and these were a hit. I put one strand of green in my china cabinet to save using internal lights and one strand one on the bar to offset the white lights.

Easy Snap release battery access
Easy slide power on/off switch
Both Warm White and Green lights
Pros:
  • many colors to choose from – Green, Blue, Purple, Warm White and White
  • battery life of 64 hours of continuous use, using only 2 CR2032 batteries
  • 3 year warranty for any problems
  • 9.8 feet per strand, 2 strands per box
  • easy to turn on and off
  • easy to access batteries and changing them out


Cons:
  • Only con is that they have made me want to get more in all the colors


Overall:   These lights were a hit at the party. Several guests asked me where I had gotten them, as they had only seen Christmas light strings and not the wire string lights like these. Needless to say that more of these are on my want to get for decorating list. I highly recommend.
