SENDRY Massage Gun - Upgraded Handheld Portable Silent Percussion Massager - with 5 Adjustable Speeds 6 Massage Heads and Portable Bag for Deep Muscle Tissue Massage(Black)






Image provided by JustinTime

This is an amazing message gun. I have a few different cheaper massagers but have never owned a Professional Deep Tissue Massager Gun style one before so this was a little new to me. We had both been having some back issue before this arrived so we were excited to use it as soon as it came. To our surprise it had a partial charge coming right out of the box. After only about 5 minutes the gun had drastically improved the problems! This is not a joke. With all the different options I think this really could be the only message tool you will ever need. It functions well and has a long battery life. We have only needed to use it on the lowest speed but I am sure it would do any job it was asked to do.

It takes a little getting used to the gun style and the added weight compared to the cheap palm style massagers that we have had but we have no need for them anymore. The other point I want to make is that it comes with a molded carry case to keep everything protected and organized.
Although we have only used it a handful of times we love this massagers.

No question this is a 5 star product.

HD Webcam 1080P Auto Focus Streaming Computer Camera for Video Calling, Recording, Conferencing, Gaming, 110-Degree Widescreen Web Camera with 360° Rotation

This is a great working camera. It looks good and functions mostly as expected. The audio seems to work great and the camera gives a good picture. It is fairly small and compact but it seems care might need to be taken if you pack it around like I intend on doing between work and home that you don’t break the ball connection.

Some of the biggest issues is that it does not have a privacy cover on it (not advertised so nothing personal against the product) and that it doesn’t have a spring in the clamp to hold it securely to my monitor. As you can see in the picture the cord on the back pulls it to one side slightly making it off balance. If it had a spring to clamp it to the monitor like any others do, I would hope it wouldn’t have this issue. The camera is adjustable in all directions but it is a pain to have to level it and have it stay put.  The feature I do like about the camera clamp area is that it folds into a sand for setting on your desk or counter it you don’t have a good place to clamp it on to.

Also the other day we set it up to talk to family and the audio from my tablet microphone was a whole lot better that the microphone on the camera. The picture for some reason also didn’t look as good as the tablet camera. It was a lot grainier. I’m not sure if it is Zoom or the camera because the photos I have taken seem to be a descent quality.

Overall I give it 3 stars.

EMBRACE PLAY Slime Kit for Girls and Boys - The Ultimate 56 Piece Slime Kit Slime Supplies Includes Non-Borax Slime Glue, Slime Scents, Slime Add Ins, and Other Slime Ingredients





              

Images by JustinTime


This kits was very fun for my kids. They have made slime before but this kits had all sorts of options to mix and match with. It also came with spoons, spatulas and measuring cups. The only items I had to come up with was the water, a mixing bowl and tablecloth. You will want a tablecloth to protect from the dyes and stickiness.

This arrived just hours before a birthday party so it was a perfect time to try it out with family, cousins and neighbor friends. The instructions are straight forward and easy to understand. The kids ranged from 13 down to 2 so I had to watch the 2 year old a little bit since this is rated for age 6+. The fruit scent is what got her thinking it may be alright to eat. It is not OK to eat but sure smells awesome!

This kit lets you choose your mix-ins from different types of foam beads to power and liquid colors (including glow in the dark), glitter and fun shapes. I realized after emptying the first bottle of glue that it is 10 oz. so we did not have to measure the rest out for the other groups. The dyes are a little staining but with soap and water they com of your hands pretty easily. One of the other great items included in this kits that was well thought out is the zip lock bags that come with it. This allowed us to send the slime home with the neighbor kids so they could continue to enjoy it.

This kit was a great hit for a decent price. My kids love it. 5 stars Embrace Play Slime kit!

Portable CD Player, Searick 1000mAh Compact Personal Rechargeable CD Player with Double 3.5mm Headphone Jack, Anti-Skip/Shockproof Function Music Disc Walkman Player with LCD Display




Here is my review based on my 12 year-old's experience written in her own words. I do this because it gives you a unique perspective of a how a tween thinks about it. She knows how to use technology but sis not grow up using a lot of it.

“It was so easy to know what the buttons are, how to open and close it, and how to know what to do without the instructions. It works really well and is AMAZING! Almost anyone could work it. The buttons are really easy to press and to work. The open button is a little bit hard to find because it blends in, but within 1 to 30 seconds you could probably find it. I like the LCD display because you can know what track number you are on and how long it has played. 

I also like how the CD player can shuffle, repeat 1, or repeat all tracks. In the instructions it tells you how to wok the CD player and what all the buttons do. I like that. 

Lastly, a BONUS, is that is comes with a pair of earbuds with extra earbud tips! Other BONUS’s are an LCD display, it is battery powered, has various sound effects, a dual headphone hole, and a USB interface! This portable CD player is GREAT and AWESOME! Anyone would love to have one”

I do want to mention a few things myself. The CD player does not use batteries. It is build in just like any device these days and charged off a micro USB. The headphones are good and comfortable but misleading. They function like a headphone/Mic combination we are used to but the buttons don’t do anything when connected to the CD player. They do not change tracks or adjust the volume like I expected they would but like I said they are very comfortable. This set also comes with a aux audio cable so you can plug it into a speaker or your car radio is you wanted to.


My kids love it and besides the minor detail about the headphones it work as expected. Overall I give it 5 stars.

CifToys Dinosaur Race Track Cars Toy Set



Image provided by JustinTime
Image provided by JustinTime
This is a great toy especially for those that both love dinosaurs and car tracks. The following are reasons I love this toy:

*It is fairly simple and straightforward to set up and play with once you understand how the pieces lock together. It gives kids the opportunity to be creative. My hope was that this could be used in my kids' city adventure play where they set up cities and drive their cars around pretending to run errand and do different task including getting traffic violations :)
*The tracks look pretty standard so more length possible could be added from other track of this type you may already have.
*The cars are really cool! With a few AAA batteries it will drive on its own with flashing lights at the touch of a button on the top.
*There are cogs and grips to help it go around the loops on its own without falling off the track.

After testing this myself I am concerned that they will not like it as much as I hoped it would be a good addition to the many other things they are using for this kind of play. My reason for giving this only a 3 star rating are as follows:

*The loops on the track and the bases that go with them are flimsy. The loops themselves are also flimsy and break if you try to separate them. I only set up one loop and 2 out of 5 now have a broken tab on them. I was trying to be careful in separating them but unfortunately kids in general probably won't be as careful as I was. If the intention is to set it up once and leave it then the broken tabs would not be an issue but in our case we do not have a dedicated play room and take things apart and put them away when they are not being played with.
*The bases won't stay planted on the ground and move as the car go around the loop. I think this would be even more of a problem on regular carpet instead of the concrete floor with a thin rug like the way I had them.
*The cars are cool and exciting but with full batteries they skip off the track especially at turns. That will be very frustration for my kids. If I use half-dead batteries the power is lower for the car and they seem to stay on the track better but can't make it around the loops very well if at all.

Overall this is a fun toy but only 3 stars until improvements are made.

LED Garage Lights, 2 Pack LED Garage Ceiling Lights 6000LM




Standard 65 Watt bulb
  
Images provided by JustinTime

I have been needing to change the lighting in my garage for the past 4 years. The old style 60-75 watt bulbs (first picture) did an OK job but switching to these lights is a huge improvement (second and third picture). When I switch on the lights it takes a second or so for them to come on but once on the whole garage is bright. No more straining my eyes at night.
I love that they use a standard E26 socket so they were just as easy to install as a regular light bulb. One of then nice features is the 3 wings to the light can be pushed up to help direct the light towards the wall instead of directing the light straight down. Having the three wings allow you to customize and point the light where you need it. I would suggest doing this once and then leaving it since they could get hot during extended periods of use.
They seem to be well built and solid. With 50,000 hours of use I won’t have to replace these light again for more than 5.5 years if I was to run them 24 hours a day which will never happen.


5 stars for a great product.

CifToys 3D Magnetic Building Blocks 106 Piece Set Playboards for Kids Creative Play



Video provided by JustinTime

This is an awesome set. My kids love all the ClifToys we have reviewed. My kids will especially love these magnets. We have a few smaller sets but not of this quality or variety of shape which means they cannot be as creative as they would like to be. This set comes with multiple colors including one color on one side of the shape and a different color on the other. The digit and letter cards are a great addition to the set. One thing to keep in mind is that if you want to use these tiles they need to be inserted into the square before you use the square to build with. They only mount from the back. This set has so many possibilities for creativity, shape and color recognition and letter and number learning.

5 Stars for another fun toy!
