The Ozeri Prestige Electric Wine Opener makes opening wine bottles easy while entertaining your guests at the same time. Designed for home and restaurant use, its latest generation battery now opens up to 80 wine bottles with the gentle push of a button, all on a single charge. The Ozeri Prestige Electric Wine Opener is completely cordless and includes an elegant recharging base with an LED charging indicator. The Prestige also ships with a free aerating pourer to enhance aromas and a compact foil cutter to remove wine seals. The Ozeri Prestige Electric Wine Opener opens both natural and synthetic corks. It also boasts a new ultra light-weight design, a faster motor and an ergonomic rubberized soft grip for effortless handling. Use it at home or take it with you to impress your hosts and guests before the first sip. If you love kitchen gadgets (and wine!!) as much as I do, then I know you'll love Ozeri's Prestige Electric Wine Bottle Opener. The set also includes an aerator and foil cutter. I charged the unit overnight, so I'm not sure exactly how long it took to charge. However, once the red charging light turned green, I knew we were ready to enjoy some wine! You can also watch my video demonstration below, but this is how I use the full set: Foil Cutter Over the years, I have learned how to MacGyver my way through the foil on a wine bottle, but with the foil cutter it's so easy now! Just place it on top of the foil, press down and squeeze, turn the cutter in a circle, and off pops the top foil. Wine Opener Place the cordless opener on top of your bottle of wine. Make sure it's firmly in place and then press the down button, which electrically spins the corkscrew down into the cork. Once the opener stops lift the unit up and your cork is out! Press the up button and the opener will spin out your cork. Aerator Firmly secure the aerator inside the opening of the wine bottle and pour a glass of wine. The wine gurgles through the spiral bubbler, and out into the glass, softening the tannins of the wine. After aerating, I absolutely notice new flavors, mellowed alcohol, and a more pleasant aroma. See additional details below regarding wine aeration. This is yet another wonderful product made by Ozeri. The opener is simple to use for anyone, the accessories are great and everything worked as claimed. This is a must-have for any wine lover.

All opinions expressed in this review are my own based on my personal observations and experience with the product. For those unfamiliar with aerating, here is some brief information: What is Aeration? Aeration devices mix air into the wine as it flows through or over a bubbler, increasing exposure to oxygen. Exposing wine to oxygen can improve the taste and aroma. Wine has been kept in a relatively oxygen free environment inside its bottle, so the reintroduction of oxygen can greatly enhance it. Is Aerating necessary? Young red wines are typically high in tannins and might require several hours of decanting to release their full bouquet--which opens up their aromas & flavors. By using an aerator, you can skip the wait time. It’s less common to aerate a white wine, however you can often improve the aromatics of a white wine by aerating it a bit.

I have been trying to get a jump start on preventing holiday weight gain. To accomplish this, I have been strict on my workouts and careful with my diet--but needed a little something else. When given the opportunity to try Valens 100% Pure Forskolin in exchange for my honest opinion, I knew that these pills would be that "little something" to help boost my efforts.
Each morning I take the recommended dosage (one pill). The pill is easy to swallow, has no aftertaste, and hasn't ever affected my stomach. After a week's continual use I did see a curb in my appetite. As a result of the combination of diet, exercise, and forskolin I have also seen an increase in energy. I have been taking it now for three weeks and while I haven't seen what I consider a "drastic" change in the scale, I am down almost two pant sizes--so I consider that a win! What you get: • Lunch Bag (9" wide X 5.5" deep x 7" tall) • Extra interior space for snack or ice pack (3.5"w X 7" tall) • Handle on top and adjustable shoulder strap • Thermos/bottle combo that holds up to 16oz (but, in my opinion is best filled to 12oz-14oz) • Two food containers; one plastic & one stainless steel. Each can hold 16oz liquid if filled to the max. (Again, I recommend 12-14oz.) When testing the lunch box and stainless steel container on cold foods, I placed them in my freezer overnight to make sure they started off nice and cold. In the morning I filled the stainless steel container with yogurt parfait with frozen fruit and it stayed nice and chilled when I ate my lunch 4.5 hours later. The plastic food container is microwave safe, so I primarily use that container for any foods that I want to keep warm or reheat. At this point I only have two cons: 1) I wish the shoulder strap was detachable since I don't use it, but that's a personal choice. 2) Since there really is no room for more than one ice pack, I would have liked to see the lid, sides, and/or bottom of the lunch box filled with the liquid gel that can be heated and cooled. (I have something similar in my casserole dish carrier). However, I cannot dock any stars for this because the food did stay cold and warmed up good when used as instructed. I have experienced no leaks with the lunch kit, I do keep it upright with the handle on top.

I have neglected skincare over the years and it's definitely starting to show. One of my friends who is a beauty-fiend said I need to try Hyaluronic Serum. Another one said to lay brewed green tea bags on my face. A third said to take Vitamin C liquid capsules and break them apart and apply as a mask to my face. With the overwhelming and varying opinions I began my search. I settled on Divas Never Age in particular because it is made of all the suggestions I received, and much more! I use this serum after I wash my face each morning and when I go to bed. My once dry face is now radiant and very well moisturized. Fine lines are a lot less obvious too. The dropper is very conveniently shaped in order to get all the serum from the bottom. The fragrance is somewhat strong but nicely scented. I have been very happy with this serum and absolutely recommend it to others. Based on my quality reviews, I did receive this product to try in exchange for my unbiased and honest review.

This is a fun and affordable set of dinosaur figures. The set offers great variety in dinosaur species, colors, textures, poses, and additional details elaborated below.
The recommended range is for 3 and up, in my opinion primarily because a few of the dinosaurs have sharper textures (e.g. the Euoplocephalus). The dinosaurs included are: Stegosaurus, Triceratops, Apatosaurus, Ceratosaurus, Spinosaurus, Tyrannosaurus, Pachycephalosaurus, Parasaurolophus, Brachiosaurus, Styracosaurus, Velociraptor, and Euoplocephalus. The dinosaurs feature great variety in textures, features, colors, etc., which help make them look realistic. I wouldn't consider these "jumbo" sized dinosaurs, but they are large. The scaling isn't accurate since T-Rex and the Velociraptor are the same size, but nonetheless they are all good sized. I do wish they would have the names of each dinosaur printed on the bottom for easy reference. Especially since it's common to mix up Triceratops and Styracosaurus. Also, with the detailed coloring, gradients, etc I would have liked to see white teeth, but for the amount and quality you already get for this price I honestly can't complain. As a teacher, I like that they have shaped feet vs the typical column legs/circular feet that inexpensive sets typically have. It's fun for kids to play with shaped animal feet in play dough or dip in paint to see footprints. All 12 of our dinosaurs stood up on their own. I especially like the various poses the dinosaurs each have. The Velociraptor has some of its claws flared, the Styracosaurus is in a walking pose with one foot forward, etc. They are made of a lightweight, yet a durable, pliable plastic. The paint is very detailed and hasn't chipped or faded off during play or sanitizing. The dinosaurs come in a wide array of gorgeous colors, I especially like the pink Velociraptor, the red dotted Parasaurolophus, and the green/orange/red gradient on the Brachiosaurus.

This is a high quality exercise ball by Live Infinitely. I especially like the non-slip surface and grips it features. It's almost a shimmery/metallic dark gray; very attractive. My previous ball was a smooth surface and I only had spandex yoga pants at the time, so I often had a problem securing a balance on the ball due to the two slippery materials working against each other.
Definitely make sure you are using the correct ball size for your height. In the past I used 75cm because I assumed "the bigger, the better", but you get a much more effective workout if you find the size made for your height (for me it was 65cm being 5'6). You know it fits right if your thighs are parallel to the floor when laying your back on the ball and bending your legs. However, please note that if you intend to use this in place of a ball go with the largest sizes, either the 75 or 85cm. The ball comes with an air pump and an extra plug. Even thought I have an electric air pump, I wanted to see how long it would take me to inflate the 65cm ball with the included hand pump. I was impressed it only took about three minutes. It is recommended you partially inflate the ball (80%) and let is sit for 24 hours in order to let the material stretch out, after that you can fully inflate. You know it's fully inflated by putting the ball against a wall and using measuring tape, measure the distance from the wall to the furthest edge of the ball. It should equal the size of your specific ball. It's really nice that it come with an extra plug. I have lost them in the past after deflating for a move and was bummed to have to replace the ball. My favorite exercises with the ball are laying on the ground with the ball between my feet and leaning my legs side to side without my hips leaving the floor. I also get into a push up position with my shins in the ball, I roll up on the ball to a tucked position and then roll back down--both are awesome ab workouts. In addition, I roll up and down a wall doing squats with the ball, and use it in place of a weight bench for my arm workouts. Outside of my workouts, I bounce on it in our bathroom during my kids' bath time, it's much more comfy that than sitting on the counter with the added bonus of a glutes workout! If you're looking for a quality, durable, and burst-free workout ball then look no further!

Just like other Limm products, these Resistance Bands are top quality. They come with a lot of information and tips so you get the most out of your workout, and include a convenient mesh carrying bag. The lightest band (yellow/x-light) feels like a latex ballon & the heaviest (black/x-heavy) feels like a bike tire.
Resistance Guide: • Yellow/X-Light = Rehab, Senior Training • Green/Light = Beginners, untrained • Blue/Medium = Average Fitness Level • Red/Heavy = Average Fitness Level • Black/X-Heavy = Already Fit Level On average I use the blue/medium band, but vary between the others depending on the mobility if the body part I'm working. No matter what resistance I use, I slowly perform each motion with the band to ensure I'm fully working each muscle properly.

The aLLreLi 8GB voice recorder is a perfectly hand-sized, portable voice recorder that offers clarity, quality, and plenty of storage. The interface isn't the most user friendly at first, but after playing with it for awhile you get the hang of it. The battery power has been impressive as well. The recorder comes with a lot of accessories for recording phone calls, audio from other decides, straight into the recorder, and a microphone.
This recorder has far exceeded my dictation needs. I would have loved to see it come with a little bag so that the screen doesn't get scratched, but for now I will keep the screen protector on.

I suffer from arthritis in my wrist so I've been slowly working my way up the resistance. I take my time carefully squeezing the grip, holding for 5 seconds and then I release slowly as well. I am starting to notice an improvement in my wrist's mobility.
The orange handle grips offering both a grippy material and horizontal bumps for better stability. Turning the front dial counter clockwise lightens the resistance down to 20lbs and turning the dial clockwise increases it up to 90lbs. It took me about 24 rotations on the dial to change resistances. I like to position the FitQuip in a variety of ways. For me, positioning the grip with the dial facing me is most comfortable for my wrist, so I typically start my routine in that position. During my 'workout' I vary the hold (as pictured) to make sure I'm fully strengthening my wrist. The #FitQuip is nicely made, the dark gray and orange colors are very attractive. The dial is easy to adjust for resistance and there are countless ways to use this for strengthening.
