High Pulse No Tie Elastic Shoelaces (for Running, Triathlon, Fitness, Hiking) #highpulse #fitfam





I bought these to try our on my hiking boots which I also use for mowing and other yard and ladder work.  I have having to take my shoes off when going into the house to us the bathroom or get a drink but if I don’t then there is a trail of cut grass or dirt that follows me.

The no tie elastic laces allow me to take my boots of fairly easily and put them back on again without much effort.  You will notice that the top two levels have hooks. At first I thought that would make it so they would not work but I realized that I just keep the laces as tight as I want them to be and I just stretch the laces to catch the hooks. Very simple and easy.

These laces are a good size even for my boots. The ends are hard so that they push through the holes without fraying and then are cut off to make the correct length without too much extra and snapped into the little black piece which keeps them from pulling through the tightener button/spring lock.

An added feature is the fact that they include a reflective strip int hem so if you are using them after dark you have a little added visibility.

I love these and am getting another set of No Tie Elastic Shoelaces for my sneakers I wear everyday to work.


5 out of 5 stars for a great helpful product.

Back Posture Corrector Brace by TOWISH




I like the posture brace a whole lot better than my previous one. This has nice padded straps with velcro that make adjustments easy and comfortable. This design is much more superior to the traditional figure 8 style which also helps with no more chaffing on my armpits. Take the recommendation to only wear this for 15-20minutes to start out and work your way up incrementally to not more than 6 hours over time. Believe me 8 hours straight after only a week or two is NOT a good idea. This makes a huge difference you can feel right away but you have to give your body time to get the muscle memory. 5 out of 5 stars for quality materials and comfortable fit.

I love that I can pair them together or separately to two devices but the drawback is that the charging case it come in uses a proprietary connection. NOT a micro USB like I expected. Now I am stuck with neither one working until I can go home.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good for the price., October 18, 2017
I have wanted a fitness tracker for a number of years now. This is not a well known brand but it seems to do the job fairly well. I say fairly well because I am not sure how accurate the step counts are. I wear a clip on one on the pocket of my pants and I wear this one on on my writst. Few weeks back I wore both while mowing the lawn. The clip on one counted 3,000 steps more than this did on my wrist. I tell you this so that you are aware that certain tasks won’t be counted.

The sleep feature on this is cool but I am not really too sure how it knows whether I am awake or a sleep or how it knows if the quality of sleep is light, heavy or REM.

I love the simple wristband but it is challenging to get it tight enough sometimes (in the dark) for the pulse to be able to work right. Speaking of the pulse feature. This is really cool and fairly accurate. The other day I have my pulse checkded as part of the screening process for donating plasma. Once it came up on their equipment I checked my fitness tracker and sure enough they both had the same number.

One more feature that is really handy to have is the notifications that pop up from my iPod. Since I have it connected it letts me know when I get a new email or message. It also reminds me to to take a break of an activity or that I have been not moving enough. The app that you are told to download is fairly basic and simple to use. It not only tells you your stats fro the day but you can look at your heistory as well.

As far as battery life goes, on a full charge I can wear this for a full week before I have to charge it if the pulse sensor is not acctive. If it is on constantly then the battery life is shortened by a few days.

One thing that I would most like to change is the charger. My preference would be to be able to use a micro USB to connect to it instead of the cheaply made clamshell style charger that is uses. It feels like ti will break in half at the hinge after too many times being opened and shut.

I give this a 4 out of 5 stars since it is good overall but needs some improvements.

CifToys Triceratops Toy #ciftoystriceratopstoy



This is another great dinosaur for our toy collection. This is not just a jun toy for boys like some may think but my little 20 month old girl likes to play with them as well. due to the sounds and light it is a great toy for a wide range of ages as well. My 12 year old would play with this all day if I let him.

Like the other dinosaur we have from this same company, we had to use a screwdriver to remove a screw to insert 3 AA batteries and snap the tail on to make this toy complete.

It has spikes and a tongue light up as well as makes roaring noises and has a walking movement.  Since we also have the t-rex my little one already knew how to turn it on. This does not have wheels on the feet like the t-rex does so it walks well on the carpet as well as hard surfaces.

If I could make one improvement to this toy it would be to have a volume control that would allow for the volume to be turned down or off as desired. After just a few minutes of this noise it could get annoying depending on your tolerance level. If you add more than one dinosaur to the mix then this could be even more of an issue. We knew it made lots of sound when we bought it so that is not an issue for us but a volume control would still be nice.

4.0 out of 5 stars Fun for a wide range of young ages., October 17, 2017
Verified Purchase(What's this?)
See video on Amazon.com  I gave this to my 20 month old to play with for the first time and she wasn't sure what to do with it. It is rated on the box for mo.12 m+. I assume it means 12 months and older.

having said that i still really like this toy. Others I have seen have two spheres that just snap together which makes it easy to open and take apart but also means that it may open if dropped spilling out all the pieces. I look at that as both a positive and negative. This sorter ball has a track on it so you have to twist it to open and separate it and also to put it back together. Again this feature is both a positive and negative.

It is a positive because it keep the pieces from spilling out if dropped or if too much pressure is put on the two sides but is a negative because a child this young can't get it opened.

personally I like the twisting to keep it together. To remedy the issue of my little one not being able to open it i just took the two sides apart and put them on the floor for her to explore how to put the right shapes in their holes.

I really like the many different shapes and colors but some of the shapes are harder then others to put in. This again changes as the child grows. They may not have the dexterity to get the stars or odd shaped parallelograms in the the hole but with time they will develop that skill which will keep this toy more interesting to them longer but may cause some frustration in the beginning.

Putting the two spheres like a bowl will allow them to sort by similar colors or just picking them up and putting them in which is what my little one likes to do at this stage.

As pointed out in the video one parallelogram in particular goes in with the hollow side up instead of the flat colored "top" of the piece. I would like to see this changed.

I give this a 4 out of 5 because it doesn't function as a complete toy for the age group it advertises but is still a great toy.
