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.


DISCLAIMER:  I received these pens 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.

One of my favorite charging cases!

I purchased from seller BSWHW, battery charger iphone case. I like to change my case, and it is always helpful to have a charging case when your in school and not always able to be near an electrical outlet.

  • Pros:
  • Available in Bright Red, Blue, Purple, Golden, and Carbon Black
  • Has a side kickstand
  • 4 indicator lights on front bottom next to power on charge button
  • Provides 1 ½ to 2 full charges of your phone before you need to charge it
  • Protects phone
  • Able to use the lightning cable to charge both the battery and the phone.


Cons:
  • Adds about ½ pound weight to phone
  • Takes about 5 hours to charge
  • Need adapter to be able to plug in headphones (but that seems to be the case with most charging cases now)


Overall: 
This provides a good protection, but I would still recommend a Tempered Glass Screen Protection just in case. I got the Red color because I know my son & husband would prefer that to the purple when they borrow my phone. It is not a slick feeling case. I would definitely recommend this case to anyone, especially those who are playing Pokeman or other apps that are always running and draining your battery.


DISCLAIMER:  I received this case for free in exchange for giving my honest opinion. I do not have a relationship with the seller and manufacturer of this product.

Biggest little lunch box


I purchased from seller Aosbos, Lunch box tote. I am always on the lookout for large insolated lunch bags. My son has always had a healthy appetite and I want to make sure his lunch stays cold. I do not like my drinks warm and I will not make him have his warm either. In Kindergarten, my son would take grapes, apples, bananas, yogurt (both spoon and drinkables), bottle of juice, jelly sandwich, peanut butter sandwich (he did not want PB&J, he wanted them separate), a couple of cookies, or a small brownie.
When we would put them in separate containers so nothing would get squished it would take a hardsided, 12+ can cooler to fit everything. He would rarely have leftovers and if he did have any, it was his after school snack before we would pick him up in after school care. Now that he is going into 8th grade, he still has a healthy appetite. It is cheaper to send in food than have him buy, because he ends up paying for 2 meals sometimes at $2.25 per meal. Now instead of PB or J he wants turkey on white bread. Instead of drinkable yogurt he wants a soda or juice. Standard size lunch boxes just will not hold everything and let you put ice packs to insure it stays cold.

Pros:
  • Available in feminine designs
  • The red with white dots is not too feminine for men
  • Large 9.5x7x6
  • Large openings for good containers, do not have to put them on their sides to get them in
  • Can fit 5 16.9 oz bottles with loose ice or 8 12oz cans with ice packs (I use some medical ice packs, and some that came with food items delivered by FedEx/UPS)
  • Perfect for taking a few soft drinks to the drive-inPerfect for anyone’s lunch appeCompact, able to fold up, if empty, after lunch or outing
  • Stitching seems to be sturdy and tight with no stray strings
  • Easy to zip and unzip with a nice rubber pull tab
  • Washes easily when needed


Cons:
  •  Will leak as ice melts unless you put it in baggies taking up room
  • Short handles
  • no shoulder strap


Overall: 
Great size for carrying lunch in for a healthy appetite.  Collapsible once empty making it easy to slip in purse/backpack or back of seat in car to carry home. Easy to clean. Keeps things cold. Unless you want to make sure the men/boys in your life, can take anything their co-workers/classmates/friends may dish out, stick with the red with white polka dots, or you want to make sure they leave it alone for you. Sometimes the feminine deterrent will let you be able to keep something to yourself, and 
know exactly how clean it is because you were the last to use it.
