Review: Tibetan Singing Bowl Set by Geshe's Dharma, Daily Meditation for Healing Relaxation Therapy ~ Reduce Stress, Resonance Music help how to Meditate for a Transcendental Peaceful Mind, Hand Painted 4".

#geshesdharma

I have been wanting a singing bowl for a long time and finally have one! This one is superb, the tone of it is amazing! I have included a video of me using it, keep in mind that it was the very first time I have ever tried one myself, but it was so easy to get a great sound. I know that the sound will get even better the more I practice and get better at it. It resonates for a long time after I quit playing, and it sounded amazing both on the cloth and just in my hand. The tone is rich and went through a variety of frequencies. This is great for meditating. We live in such a fast paced world, that it is great to get a few moments for ourselves.

The beauty of the singing bowl rivals the sound. It is hand painted on brass and is a pleasure to look at. I am keeping it on display in our family room which is decorated in old world style and it fits in perfectly! Overall I am extremely pleased with the Tibetan Singing Bowl and recommend it to anyone who wants a functional piece of art that can help them to clear their mind and relax!

Review: Meterteck Digital Multimeter (DMM) - Voltmeter, Ohmmeter, Ammeter - 1 Year Guarantee

#Meterteck

I have owned many multimeters over my lifetime and still have a couple but they are both the dial type. While they work, I love the ease of reading with this one. The digital display is much easier on my eyes! As soon as it arrived I tested the voltage, current and resistance features. I used a AA battery and everything read exactly as it should have! I appreciate that this multimeter comes with a nine volt battery and two sets of cables! That is a feature I have not seen with any other company and I am very impressed. The cables are always the first thing to wear out, besides the battery and having an extra set included is great! I have been known, to accidentally close them into car doors when I am installing electronics in a vehicle and it is great to know that I have an extra set.

According to the instruction manual the specs are as follows:
DC Voltage: 200mV/2V/20V/200V/500V ±0.8%
AC Voltage: 200mV/2/20/200/500V ±(0.5%+5)
DC Current: 2mA/20mA/200mA/10A ±1.4%
Resistance: 200/2k/20k/200k/2M ±0.8%

Two extra features that I am really glad it has is a hold button and a light button. When I am in a hard to reach area, it is much easier to hit the hold button until I get up to read the meter than to try to turn my head and get into position to read it. Also the backlight is a wonderful feature especially when working with cars, as something usually goes wrong at night.

Overall this is my favorite multimeter and the only one I will be using. I recommend this multimeter as it is high quality at a great price!

Review: Premium Stainless Steel Salt and Pepper Grinder Mill Set- High Quality Lead Free Round Glass Body with Adjustable All Ceramic Rotor

We love these grinders! They are beautiful and very high end. They will fit perfectly in any kitchen. They are large and fit perfect in my hand. I think I used the 9 ounce  size peppercorns and sea salt and they fit perfectly. It is the large ones at the store.
The quality of the grinders is amazing. They are stainless steel and glass. They have a great look to them and all of the pieces fit together perfectly. No worries about the tops falling off of these.
I have used many grinders from the plastic ones that come pre-loaded in the store, to the large wooden ones that my family had. These are the best ones I have used. The biggest problems I have had with other grinders are that they are not uniform, you would get anything from pepper dust to half of a peppercorn coming out. That is not the case with these. As you can see from the photos I have included all the pepper and salt are uniform. It grinds to about the size of the pre-ground that you get from salt and pepper shakers, except you get the wonderful fresh flavor and punch that you can only get from fresh ground ingredients. I highly recommend these to anyone looking for dependable, even ground high end salt and pepper grinder.

I received the salt and pepper grinders at a discount price in exchange for an honest review.

I love this watch, it has the look and feel of a much more expensive watch. I have already gotten several compliments about it! I am a large guy, 6'4, 230 lbs and it fits my wrist perfect. There are enough adjustments that I can tell it will fit a large range of wrists. I have had it for a little while and can tell you it keeps great time. I set it with the World Clock and a week later it is still second for second with the World Clock, so I think it does a great job keeping accurate time.

It was simple to set. Simply remove the small plastic piece keeping the winder out (So that the battery won't run down before you get it). You then turn the dial to change the time, click it in one position to change the date, then click it all the way in to start it.
I like the subdial for seconds right above the 6. It gives the watch a touch of elegance and is very useful.

I like the fact that it is water resistant, one of the things I hate is having to remove my watch to wash my hands, with this watch, that doesn't happen. I can leave it on without fear of water damaging it.
It has a thick bezel and really looks like a much more expensive watch than it is. I would recommend this watch to anyone. It is easy to set, very nice looking and fits well.

Review: Back Seat Organizer Car Kick Mat - Seat Belt Pillow - Cling Sun Shade Giraffe Set


My children love Gerry the Giraffe!!!

We had never seen him before but my son is three and he was so excited when I opened the box, First off the contents. 1 Adjustable Gerry Kick Mat with 5 pockets, 2 Static Cling Gerry Sun Shades, they spring open and fold close to put up with ease, and 1 Plush Gerry Seatbelt Pillow with a zipper pocket!

Let me start with the mat. I have two little children and older ones, with the little ones, one is 3 years and the other is 11 months, they have a lot of stuff that goes into the car. The mat, is a cinch to put in the car. There are two plastic buckles with size adjustments. Once you adjust them for the size of the seat, you simply un-clip them to take them out and clip them back to put it back in. This is great because I can fill it with bottles, sippy cups, diapers, snacks, and toys in the house, walk out to the car, clip it in and we are ready to go. It can also be used to hold a multitude of toys to keep the little ones busy on road trips. It also has a pocket to hold a tablet, I have a Samsung Tab 8 and it fits perfect. The clear plastic also allows you to still use the touchscreen after it is put in the pocket. This is great because the little ones can play games without getting sticky fingers all over the screen.

The next item is the Gerry pillow. It is wonderful, It is hard to tell from the picture how big he actually is, so I included some photos of my three year old with him. This is not one of the small generic seat belt toys that others sell. He is a big and soft pillow. My son was able to use him to sleep on while we were driving. He is a big stuff animal that will keep the seat belt where it should be and provide ample cushion for little ones. He has two places of Velcro that make taking him in and out of the car a breeze. This serves two purposes, first it is easy to switch him from car to car, but even more, he can become a companion for the little ones while you are in a store, visiting relatives, etc. He has a little zipper pocket that my son can keep his "treasures" in.

The sun screens are great. They fold up small as you can see in the pictures but open up to 13x18 inches. They almost cover my entire back window. They stick easy and thanks to our crazy weather, I can attest that they remained stuck to the window from temperatures between 29 and 72 degrees, with humidity all over the place. You can see in the picture that even though they block the light and have a cute designs on them the children can still see through them. So they won't miss the sights of the drive.

This is a great high quality set, not the cheap stuff that you find in the big box store. I would recommend these to anyone with children, they really exceeded my expectations!!
