I have to start this review with a simple question: Who doesn't want a drone?! It has always been a hope of mine but I never actually thought that I would get one! I've always liked...

Traffic Cones, SYRINX® 2 in 1 Multi-Purpose Handy Collapsible Sport Orange Safety Traffic Cones, Black Base Carrying Case Bag with Reflective Collars 20inches

 

As someone who just bought their own car, I've been looking for anything and everything I can get in order to make it safer. I have a lot of the safety supplies that I need but I didn't have anything to make my car, and not just myself, safer if I were to break down. But, now that I have this traffic cone, my car will be as visible as it's able to be. It's not something that I ever really thought about buying but, when it was offered to me, I just knew that it was a very good idea.

This traffic cone is not hard to use at all. It's as simple as pulling it up out of the area it's in, placing the light on top of it and putting it either in front of or behind your car. It would be even better if you had two, so you could put one in both areas but one will help you. The best part of this traffic cone is that it is reflective. It's just like the cones that you see on the side of the street, just smaller and for personal use. When you shine a light on it in the dark, it will light up and you'll be much more visible. You also have the light on top, which just take two AAA batteries that are included with the product that lights up and flashes in multiple ways.

An unexpected plus of this product is that it has quite a bit of storage too. In the video, I showed how it opens it to where the light is stored along with quite a bit of other storage space that you can put whatever you want too in. I have jumper cables and a med kit that fits in mine perfectly, putting everything that I need together in one, convenient package. All I do is store mine in my trunk where I have it when I need it but it's not in the way. This traffic cone is one product that you definitely won't regret buying! Safety is number one with you and your car so I would highly recommend it!

Angel Crafts 12" by 8' WHITE Self Adhesive Vinyl Roll with THICK CORE for BEST Cutting Memory



I've recently been getting more into crafts so when I was offered this adhesive vinyl, I thought it would be a really good idea. I had been wanting to make a wall puzzle for my nephew using different colored shapes that he can point to and name. That way, he can learn his shapes and we never have to pick up blocks off of the floor… or step on them.

I will say that this vinyl is perfect for that. On top of being easily cut into the shapes that we want, and some that don't have names, they can be colored and they can be written on with liquid chalk markers and easily cleaned off. I know that this isn't the normal use for adhesive vinyl but this vinyl can be used for whatever a person wants to use it for. You don't have to limit yourself to cutting it with a special tool and using transfers on it, though you definitely can!

The hardest part of using this vinyl is simply getting the backer off of it. I'm sure that someone who does it all the time would have no problem but my advice is to go slow and be careful. You can bend the vinyl and if you've put a transfer on it, that can affect the transfer. But, as long as you have fun while following the convenient directions sent with this vinyl, I'm sure that you won't have a problem at all! I highly recommend it!

Elegant Portable Yoga Mat Bag with Quality Zipper & Strap Printed Indian Design

 

Yoga was never really something that I thought I would get in to. I always thought it was, for lack of a better word, hocus pocus. It really is just fancy stretching, I never thought that it was going to help me. But, then I was lucky enough to receive a yoga mat to review and I absolutely fell in love with it. It's not that it helps so much with losing weight but it is very relaxing and can help with muscle aches.

The only problem I had was that I did not have a yoga mat bag! Yes, my yoga mat has a little carrier strap on it but it never worked all that well and usually just ended up slipping. So, I was excited to receive this bag. It would make it a lot easier to carry my yoga mat and I wouldn't have to worry about the strap slipping and dropping it in the middle of the sidewalk or something. When I got it, I was impressed as soon as I opened it! It's very nice and a lot sturdier than I thought it would be.

However, as you can see in one of my pictures, I have an oversized yoga mat so I was worried it simply wasn't going to fit in the bag. But, after some adjusting, I did get it to fit! I even had a little extra room to put my hot yoga towel inside and even with all my pulling and tugging, the bag didn't shown a single sign of letting loose. The zipper is a little hard to pull up and down when you have the bag really full but it didn't seem stressed. It's a nice quality zipper that I'm sure will last a while as long as you don't purposely try to destroy it.

The only issue I can see with this bag is that it doesn't really have any ventilation. For regular yoga, that's not such a big deal. But, if you're someone like me who tries to do hot yoga, it can end up with a very stinky bag. Even if that does happen, though, the bag is washable! Now, I would suggest being a little careful, use cold water and hang to dry so it doesn't shrink but it will be as good as new after that! I would definitely give this bag five stars! It's very sturdy, easy to clean and can even hold an oversized yoga mat! On top of that, it also has a very cute design that anyone would enjoy! It definitely gets my recommendation!

Recently, I was approached by a seller, Lightning Knight, on Amazon about reviewing their phone cases. I've reviewed a lot of phone cases but, I looked at them and thought that they looked very nice so I agreed. However, I had no idea which ones I wanted to review. So, when they asked me, I said I would be willing to review whatever cases they needed review. Imagine my surprise when they sent me the entire list of cases they told me to choose from! It was a little overwhelming at first but I'm very glad that I did it! But, now, I'll let the reviews speak for themselves! They're posted in groups because they're on the same listing on Amazon so I wrote the reviews together!

S6 Edge Case, Galaxy S6 Edge Case, LK [Stand Feature] Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge Wallet Case [Wallet Function] Flip Cover Leather Case for Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge with Stylus Pen [Leather Wallet Series] Brown , S6 Edge Case, Galaxy S6 Edge TPU Case,LK [Ultra Slim] [Perfect Fit] [Scratch Resistant] Jelly Series TPU Gel Rubber Soft Skin Silicone Protective Case Cover for Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge + Stylus Pen (Jelly Series - Black ) and S6 Edge Case, LK Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge Case [Drop Protection] [Shock-Absorption] [Impact Resistant] Hybrid Dual Layer Armor Defender Protective Case Cover for Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge (HY Series - Black)

I was recently lucky enough to be given the chance to test some phone cases for this company. I was very happy to do so because I have many friends with phones that need cases. Unfortunately, I don't own these type of phones so I couldn't do it myself. I could only observe. However, my friends were more than happy to help me with it!

The first case I have is the brown [Leather Wallet Series] for the Galaxy S6 Edge.

My friend was very pleased with it! He loves the way it looks on his phone and was very worried that he'd have to give it back when he was done testing it! After I assured him that he wouldn't, he took it for a couple days and really put it to the test. He works at a construction job where he always has to keep his phone on him and he needed something that would protect it but also wouldn't leave him having more bulk in his pockets.

The fact that this case doubles as a wallet was just perfect for him! Like me, he's prone to loosing things and not having two things to lose was very good for him! He told me his phone fits perfectly in
the case. He would have preferred the part of the case that held the
phone being a harder substance but he's still happy with it. It keeps his phone protected and stops him from losing it! On top of all of that, the case is very well made. He admits that he's dropped it already and gotten it stuck inside his pants pocket. Even after that, it's still in very good condition and he plans to use it for as long as possible!

The second case I have is the Jelly Series TPU Gel Rubber Soft Skin Silicone Protective Case Cover for Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge.

As much as the same friend wanted it, I gave it to a different one. She is much more careful with her phone and just wanted a case that would protect it from scratches but not necessarily from being hit with a hammer or something. She keeps her phone in a special pocket in her purse so she doesn't so much have to worry about protecting the screen, she just wants to make sure to keep scratches off the back of it because they drive her insane.

She was very happy when she got this case and put it on her phone. It fits perfectly and does exactly what she wants it too! It's also none slip so she can leave her phone on the desk and text without worrying about it trying to slide when she taps the screen! She does warn that it's not a safety case, however. It's not going to protect your phone from falls or bumps. It's simply gel rubber to help with scratches. However, as long as you treat it well, it will last you quite a while!

The last case I received from this listing was the Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge Case [Drop Protection] [Shock-Absorption] [Impact Resistant] Hybrid Dual Layer Armor Defender Protective Case Cover.

I was disappointed I couldn't use this for my phone because it is a very nice protective case. It's not the most protective case you can buy but it's up there with them! This case is the type that you can't bend. A lot of protective cases are still pliable and I don't like that. I used one of my friends phones to make sure this fits, which it does, very well! But I'm not letting them keep it. I'm getting a new phone soon and I believe I know what case I'm going to use for it now!

This case has a hard backing and a more pliable plastic that holds the phone it. However, that plastic does hold the phone in a way that, if it falls face down, it wouldn't hit the floor because there's a little bit of clearance from the plastic. I really do hope to use it in the future, it's really very nice! As another upside, two of these three cases also comes with stylus'! I hate using my finger on my screen so stylus' are something I always need! Overall, I, and my friends, would recommend these cases!
S6 Case, LK Samsung Galaxy S6 Case [Heavy Duty] [Shock Absorption] High Impact Resistant Black Dual Layer Armor Holster Defender Full Body Protective Hybrid Case Cover with Built-in Rotating Kickstand Belt Swivel Clip + Free Stylus for Samsung Galaxy S6 , S6 Case, Galaxy S6 TPU Case,LK [Ultra Slim] [Perfect Fit] [Scratch Resistant] Jelly Series TPU Gel Rubber Soft Skin Silicone Protective Case Cover for Samsung Galaxy S6 + Stylus Pen (Jelly Series - Clear) and S6 Case, LK [Stand Feature] Samsung Galaxy S6 Wallet Case Premium [Wallet Function] Flip Cover Leather Case for Samsung Galaxy S6 + Stylus Pen Black

I was recently given the opportunity to test a few phone cases for
this company, Lightening Knight. This is the second listing that I was given multiple cases from so, in order to review each case, I need to do them together. So, that's what I'm going to do. Unfortunately, I don't actually own any of the phones would fit in these cases yet so they were tested by my friends, the same friends that helped me test before. 

The first case I received from this listing was the Samsung Galaxy S6 Case [Heavy Duty] [Shock Absorption] High Impact Resistant Black Dual Layer Armor Holster Defender Full Body Protective Hybrid Case Cover with Built-in Rotating Kickstand Belt Swivel
Clip.

 I will admit, out of all the cases I received from Lightening Knight, this probably my favorite. I love cases that protect my electronics, even if they are a bit more bulky or heavy. If I pay that much for something, I definitely want to keep it safe! My construction worker friends thinks the same way. 

Even though he loves the leather case I already gave him, he asked to test this one while he's working in more dangerous areas. Having this case is like having two cases in one! He can take off the
protective outer case when he's relaxing and still have the phone in a nice case. But, when he is working, the protection is really worth the bulk! The first time you have a hammer fall against your phone, you'll be glad it still comes out functional! This case is extremely well made and perfect for the person who needs full protection for their phone! 

The second case I received was the Galaxy S6 TPU Case,LK [Ultra Slim] [Perfect Fit] [Scratch Resistant] Jelly Series TPU Gel Rubber Soft Skin Silicone Protective Case Cover. 

This case was not given to the construction worker. It was, instead, claimed by my female friend. She does have another jelly case but she wanted this one simply so she could switch her case whenever she had a whim. Using the same case all the time is boring, after all. This case is clear so she can see her phone through it, which makes it a lot easier to show off, as she says. The case fits perfectly and doesn't add much bulk at all to the phone! 

But, this isn't a protective case. It will protect against scratches and things like that but it is not drop or shock proof. This seller has a myriad of amazing cases if you need one for something like that! If you're looking just to cover your phone, we would recommend this case! 

The last case I received was the Samsung Galaxy S6 Wallet Case Premium.

 As with the last review I did, I actually kept one of the cases. I don't have a galaxy phone yet but I am planning on it and I just love these case! I have a weakness for wallet cases, especially ones that are constructed as well as this one is. There's not a single missed or crooked stitch and the leather is very nice! 

I don't have the phone yet but the area where the phone should be is actually a great size for a little pad of paper. So, I will use it until I get a phone! It holds everything I need it too perfectly and doesn't add a lot of bulk! As for fitting the phone, of course it does. The phones feels very safe inside of it and I would definitely recommend this cases and all the cases from Lightening Knight!


Out of all the cases I recently received from this seller, this one is actually one that I can use! Because of its size, it can be used for more than just the S6! I actually have an iPod that I intend to use in it. It's a little smaller than a Galaxy phone but, with its protective
case on, it slips right into this arm band! I've been wanting to exercise more but I simply can't without some type of distraction. If I think too much, I think of what else I could be doing with my time and it all goes down the tubes. But, with this case, I can keep my music on me at all times and not worry about getting distracted. It's really great!

As for fitting a galaxy S6 or S6 edge, it's good for both of those! I have friends with both phones and they put them in this case with absolutely no problem. You just have to remember that this case is made to hold your phone while it's in its normal case! It will seem too big if you put your phone in it, for lack of a better word, naked. So, unless you use this armband all the time, I would recommend just putting your phone in it with it's case still on it!

This case also comes with a place to put your key! So, if you put your phone in it then head out for a run, you'll have somewhere to keep your key so you won't risk getting locked out of your house. Overall, it's a very nice case and I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking to buy one!


S6 Screen Protector, LK Samsung Galaxy S6 [3 Pack] Premium HD Clear Screen Protector Ultra Clear & Anti Scratch & Reduce Fingerprint & Bubble Free Screen Protector [PET Film Made in Japan] Easy install with [Lifetime Replacement Warranty] for Samsung Galaxy S6

With all the cases I recently received from this company, I was very happy to also receive some screen protectors. One of the biggest complaints I hear is phones screens being damaged because they're not protected. I put screen protectors on everything that I own with a touch screen. On top of protecting the screen, they are also a lot easier to keep dust and fingerprints off of. I try to use a stylus but it doesn't always happen!

I've noticed in the reviews of these screen protectors that some people are having issues with putting them on. When I first started using screen protectors, I had the same problems with them having dust particles under the protector and bubbles. The thing with screen protectors is that you really have to take your time. Don't peel it off the protective backing all at once! You need to peel it off slowly as you put it onto the phone, otherwise you're bound to get dust under it. Another big issue I've seen is that people don't clean their phone screen first. You have to do that! Otherwise everything on your screen is going to get caught under your screen protector.

Overall, I think that these are very nice screen protectors. They fit the phone well and, as long you go slow, they can be put on without any bubbles or dust particles. Just take your time and you'll have a crystal clear screen protector too!
S6 Screen Protector, LK [Anti Scratch] Samsung Galaxy S6 Tempered Glass Premium 0.33 mm 2.5D Rounded Edge 9H [Bubble-Free] High Definition Ultra Clear Tempered Glass Screen Protector for Samsung Galaxy S6 [Retail Package]

If I was given the choice between a normal screen protector and a tempered glass screen protector, I would choose tempered glass every time! I have used tempered glass screen protectors on more than one of my phones and I have learned through personal experience that they are far superior to normal screen protectors. Yes, I will use normal ones if I have too but I would rather have tempered glass. I've seen more than one phone dropped with a tempered glass screen protector that only survived because of it. Otherwise, the screen would have been completely destroyed!

This tempered glass screen protector is perfect for your phone! It comes in a very attractive package which also protected it while it was being shipped. It also comes with everything you'll need to put it on without having dust particles or bubbles under it. I've noticed that tempered glass screen protectors don't have as much an issue with bubbles but I would still suggest going slow. Take your time and you should be able to get it to go on perfect!

I will leave this warning, though. As much as people say tempered glass screen protectors are flexible, don't try to bend them in half. They are tempered glass, they will break. I really do recommend this screen protector, however! It will fit your phone perfectly and protect your screen against accidents. You won't regret it! 

And there you have it. The AMAZING items that Lightning Knight sent me! My friends and I just LOVE them. You should have seen them, it was like Christmas! I figured this blog post was long enough. So, if you want to see my pictures of these, please take a look at my Lightning Knight Photo Album post!
