800+ World of Warcraft (WoW) Trading Cards (TCG) + Deck Box from GoldenGroundhog

Good Evening Everyone,

Today I have a review for 800+ WoW TCG cards from Golden Groundhog. The cards can be found by visiting this link: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B01CIT7530   #GoldenGroundhogWOWLot

I was excited to get these cards, as I am an avid collector of WoW memorabilia (including these cards). The promotion stated that I would received 800+ cards plus a deck box. In all, I received a total of 859 cards, the mini card case, and the deck box.  I received 478 cards from the "Illidan" set and 381 cards from the "Drums" set.  In the promotion ad on Amazon, it states "includes rares & foils". I did not receive any rares or foils. All of the cards were green labeled, meaning that they are of common value. Rares are blue, epics are purple, and legendary (foils) are orange in distinction. I am not sure if the reason why there were no rares or foils included was because I received this product in exchange for my honest and unbiased review or not. There are many duplicates among these 859 cards and 4 of them were bent/bowed. After I took out all the cards that I needed to fulfill spaces in my collector sets, I was left with 418 duplicates from the llidan set and 321 duplicates from the Drums set for a total of 739 duplicates. This means that out of the 859 cards, I only used 120. While these are not great ratios, I have purchased other card sets that had a bunch of duplicates in them as well, so this is the risk that you take in trying to complete a collector set. Besides the 4 bowed cards, all others were crisp, clean, and in near mint/mint condition. I am grateful for the cards that I was able to add to my collection, and also for the deck box - which is in great condition as I do not have this particular box design. I do think that the company could inform the customer as to which sets the cards are coming from so that the customer can make an informed choice on whether to risk getting duplicates, or if the number of cards needed outweighs that risk.

The product was undercooked due to an equipment malfunction discovered during routine inspection. Spoilage organisms or pathogens that could lead to life-threatening illness if ingested is the reason for the recall, although no reported illnesses have been made to this date.

Seneo 3.0L Aromatherapy Essential Oil Diffuser, Ultrasonic Aroma Humidifier with Sensor Control

Hello All,

Tonight for review, I also have the Seneo Aromatherapy Essential Oil Diffuser/Aroma Humidifier. This product can be found via the following link: www.amazon.com/dp/B01AJHHECU

I was excited to receive the Seneo Aromatherapy Essential Oil Diffuser and Humidifier, as I have heard a lot of good things about this type of product. The first thing that is noticeable right away is the sheer size of the unit. This is definitely not a tiny little bedside table machine. I think this product would be best suited in a living room, hearth/mantle, or some other "centralized" place where you can get full potential from it. The unit displays 7 different colors (which may appear slightly different from the pictures listed here) : white, yellow, green, light blue, dark blue, purple, and red. You can choose to display one single color, or have the unit alternate between all seven. I was a little disappointed in the brightness of the colors, as they appeared a bit dull/subdued to me (pictures were taken via iPad at close range). It has a timer where you can automatically set it to run for a specific time (up to 8 hrs). There are 3 different mist settings, and you can have the option of having the machine swing left to right or stay stationary. It also has an automatic shut off when the tank is out of water (which holds 3L). When the unit is misting and/or swaying back and forth, it is very quiet. There is also a place to use essential oils, but I have not tried this feature as of the time of the review writing. . Overall, I am fairly pleased with this product, except for the “dull” colors – especially on the lighter spectrum.

SnackCubby Storage Containers

Hello Everyone,

This evening, I have the SnackCubby Storage Containers for review.
They can be found by the following link: https://amzshark.com/r/snackcubby   #snackcubby

This storage container system is pretty neat in how it is made. It is made from Silicone, so it is flexible and conforms to whatever you put in it. It can be used for liquids, solids, snacks, gravies, or what have you. There are two sets of lids. One is the attached clear lid which seals the container. The second set of lids is the purple set, which allows you to place a straw through the top. You could also place a popsicle stick through the hole and make frozen treats. This storage system is very versatile in what you can do with it - given the flexibility (not rigid plastic) and the different lids. Seeing that it is made of silicone, it can be "squished" into various storage spaces, whereas hard plastic would not fit and takes up much less space. I would recommend this product for the many different uses you can do with it.

CushionCare Keyboard Wrist Pad & Mouse Pad (Combo Set)

Hello Everyone,

Here is a review on CushionCare's Keyboard Wrist Pad & Mouse Pad (Combo Set).

This product can be found by visiting: http://www.amazon.com/CushionCare-Keyboard-Wrist-Rest-Pad/dp/B013PAXASA   #CusionCare

I was excited to receive this product, as it is a combo. wrist and mouse pad set! I was also looking forward to trying out the memory foam. I have had other gel and memory foam wrist & mouse pad products that weren't too good. I was pleasantly surprised by the comfort level of these pads. Both the wrist and mouse pad have great memory foam cushioning and comfort. I have arthritis and the start of carpal tunnel in my wrists, and these pads were very comfortable even with these issues. At first, I thought the mouse pad might be a little small, but looks are definitely deceiving. There is plenty of room to rest your hand/wrist and use the mouse pad comfortably. I believe the circular/arc design aids this function. The only down side on the mouse pad is that it seems to be a bit thin/flimsy. The wrist pad is very comfortable and is long enough to where you can type normally. The set is also visually appealing and would fit in with almost any decor. I would recommend this product as it is comfortable, functional, and a combo. set! The product also comes with a 3 year warranty!

3M Mouse Pad w/Gel Wrist Rest (Model MW85B)

Hello Everyone,

Tonight I have a review on 3M's Mouse Pad w/Gel Wrist Rest (Model MW85B)

I was excited to receive the 3M Mouse Pad w/Gel Wrist Rest, as I have always had quality products from 3M. Unfortunately, I was left dissatisfied with this product, for the most part. On the box, it states that the mouse pad has a battery saving design - but I have not seen any results that either confirm or deny this claim. In regards to the gel technology for the wrist pad, the product states: "Firm enough to provide the support you need, yet soft enough for optimal comfort." Unfortunately, I have to disagree with the second part of the statement. My wrist was not very comfortable when using the product, and I do not feel that the gel is soft enough to provide comfort. To be fair and honest, I do have that start of Carpal Tunnel in my wrists, as well as arthritis - so I'm not sure to what extent each of these factors weighs in on my comfort level. My other point of dissatisfaction was the length of the pad itself. I feel that 3M could have made the pad a little bit longer, as depending on where you place your wrist on the gel pad and how big your hand is, you quickly run out of room at the top of the pad. I did not have any problems with the width of the pad. On a positive note, the surface of the pad is made very well, and the mouse tracks/glides with ease. Overall, the pad is visually appealing. It also has a nice weight to it, to where it is not flimsy/doesn't wobble like most mouse pads do. Due to the pros and cons that I experienced, I rated this product 3/5 stars. I do like that the product is made from a well known brand, but I feel that they could have made the pad longer and the gel wrist area more comfortable.

US Art Supply 7-Piece Long Handle Nylon Brush Set

Hello Everyone,

Here is a review for US Art Supply's 7-Piece Long Handle Nylon Brush Set.  

The product link can be found by visiting: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00VN13O7G   #usartsupply.

I was looking forward to receiving this set, as I had planned on giving them as a gift. I was disappointed when I received the product for the following reasons: 1) The plastic on the top part of the packaging had a tear in it, and the top cardboard backing was crinkled up. 2) Upon closer inspection, I noticed the the middle "#10" brush appeared to have been used as the bristles were stuck together and not brand new looking. 3) This brush was sitting outside of the "loop holders" that keep them all in place inside the package, thus suggesting that the product had been opened and used. 4) I removed this brush in question (#10), and felt the bristles and proceeded to wash the brush - and it appeared as if the brush was used on an oily substance, as it took several minutes to detangle the brushes and remove the substance. All of the other brushes appeared to be in new condition and not tampered with, as the bristles were clean and the brushes were in the "place holders".

Aposon Men's Digital Watch

Good Evening All,

Here is a review on the Aposon Men's Digital Watch. The link for this product can be found at:
http://www.amztk.com/1068   # Aposon

I received this watch in order to give to a friend. I like that the watch is simple, has high visibility, and displays all of the common features of sport watches (calendar, date, week, month, alarm, stop watch, LED display, and backlighting). What I am curious about is the statement on the Amazon link that describes the product, as it states: "WATERPROOF FUNCTION: 164 ft waterproof (50 M) - 5ATM. NOTE: please DO NOT press any buttons in the water" If the watch is supposed to be waterproof, why do they advise not to press any buttons?! Even though men's watches have a bigger face, I think that the face on this watch may be a bit too big - as it does seem overpowering even for the "average" size hand/wrist of a man. There is definitely no problem seeing the display due to the big face, clear digital readout, and a backlight. The watch is very simple to set/program. If you know someone who likes big digital sports watches, or has a vision impairment, I would recommend this product.

WyldLife Pets Bully Stick & Tendon Combo. Pack (6 Count)

Hello Everyone,

Tonight I have the WyldLife Pets Bully Stick & Tendon Combo. Pack (6 count) review.

This product can be found via the following link: http://wyldlifepets.com/

or: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B018F0S1EI/ref=twister_B018F0S1AM?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1
The hashtag for the company is: #WyldLifePets

My German Shepherd/Border Collie mix, Shadow loves these treats! I like the fact that it is a bully stick & tendon combination. There are a lot of bully stick sellers, but not a lot that has a combination of different products. The combo. pack offers different textural experiences for dogs. The bully sticks can be chewed/gnawed on, while the tendons offer a more crunchy/cracking experience. I also like that this product is 100% all natural beef with no chemicals or preservatives. The customer service of this company is top-notch!! They are very rapid at answering communications and very professional/helpful!

Here are some facts and information about WyldLifePets:

WyldLifePets offers a 6-count pack as well as a 15-count pack! The 6-count has 3 bully sticks and 3 tendons, while the 15-count pack has 8 bully sticks and 7 tendons. Depending on the size and chewing habits of your dog, will determine how long these products last. Shadow can eat through a bully stick or tendon in under 10 minutes. 

Here is a quick (under a minute) video of Shadow enjoying a beef tendon from WyldLifePets:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LhYi8D3CVn4

As I mentioned earlier, customer service is top notch:

 I would definitely recommend this product due to the variety (tendon & stick combo), quality, and customer service!

WyldLifePets did not pay me to write this review. They did send me heavily discounted products to sample and review.  This review is in no way biased, and all of the statements are 100% my own.

FamFave Digital Thermometer w/Jumbo Lighted LCD Display

Good evening everyone,

 Tonight I would like to review "FamFave" Digital Thermometer w/Jumbo Lighted LCD Display.

• FAST results - average 10 to 25 seconds - proven accurate in extensive tests - beeps when done
• LARGE lighted LCD Display - visible in dark room
• FLEXIBLE Tip - Safe and painless for babies and all ages
• WATERPROOF - Automatic turn off - battery included - memory display of latest reading.

This thermometer is very simple and easy to use. It comes with a battery, so all you need to do is turn it on and it's ready to take a reading. The LCD display is super easy to see, and it has a great backlighting!  Here are a couple of FAQs just in case:

#1 FAQ - What does "L" mean? Is the battery low?

The battery is OK. "L" means low temperature. It is normal because room temperature is usually below 89.6 F, the minimum measurable. So "L" means it is ready to use.

When you turn on the thermometer, you'll see 188.8, E, battery symbol, and M. Then the last temp taken (or 105.8 F the first time), then "L" after the screen darkens. Just take your temperature when you see the "L". When it beeps, the reading is done. When the beeping stops the screen will brighten and the temperature will be displayed.

#2 FAQ - Why do I see the battery symbol when I turn it on?

It's just a test. During the power-on display (about 3 seconds) you will see 188.8, E, battery symbol, and M. Then the last temp taken (or 105.8 F the first time), then "L" after the screen darkens.
That a test of all the parts of possible display characters in those positions. It does not mean the battery is low. If the battery is low, the symbol will appear and stay on continually until you push the power button.
