MicroTouch SwitchBlade All in One Groomer Review

Hey there.  Like most men, I have a morning ritual.  I get up, get dressed, brush my teeth, comb my hair, and then I shave.  That shaving one is optional.  I can go a few mornings without shaving and it's mainly because I don't want to take the time to get everything I need for the best possible shave.  And other times, I don't need a full one shave.  I need to touch up on some rouge strands of hair in my 'stache or goatee.  I want to look my best at the office but sometimes I just don't have the time in the mornings.  Enter the MicroTouch SwitchBlade All in One Groomer.  Our good friends at Ideavillage and FuelMyBlog provided me with this great grooming tool to try out and review and let me tell you...  this groomer is absolutely perfect for touch ups.  Before I get into my experience with the MicroTouch SwitchBlade, let's get into some product details.

Anker Bluetooth Sports Foldable Stereo Headphones Review

Oooooo... an awesome new headset to try!  AND IT'S WIRELESS!!!

Hey there.  You know, this year, the wife and I have turned into a couple of regular gym rats.  Actually, I've become more of a gym rat.  I've joined my wife and decided to better take care of myself.  I've done it on and off from time to time on and off for the past year and a half or so but now, I'm in it for the long haul.  So what's one of our essentials while at the gym?  Music.  We must have our music.  Whether it be playing on our iPod or our phones, we need to have our workout tunes while getting our fitness on.  The wife and I have tried many different headphones while at the gym.  We've tried earbuds and we've tried some full on over the ear headphones.  The one problem that we've come across using those kind of headphones is the cord.  Now the cord may not be that big of a deal, since you can easily tuck into your shirt or something but wouldn't it be nice to NOT have the cord dangling from your ear?  Well guess what?!  Anker has your back  Check out the Anker Bluetooth Sports Foldable Stereo Headphones!  Our good friends at Anker have provided me with a set of these headphones and they are exactly what I need when at the gym!  Before I get into my experience with the headphones, let's get some technical details out of the way.

Micro Touch One Razor Review

The Micro Touch One Razor and it's carrying case

Hey there.  How many of you guys have found a razor that gives you a close shave and doesn't hurt?  I'm pretty that's not many of you.  The multi blade razors that are out on the market do a great job at first but after a few shaves, they start to pull on your hair.  And you know what... it SUCKS!  It's one of the main reasons why I hold off to the last possible minute to shave.  Even though I have a great hair softener and shaving gel, if the razor is just not up to par, your shaving experience will not be a pleasant one.  That's why when our good friends at Micro Touch One decided to send me a Micro Touch One Razor to try out and review, I was not too thrilled about having to go through a shaving experience with a new razor.  Especially one that is NOT multi blade.  Even though I came into this experience with a bit of unease, I came out simply loving the Micro Touch One Razor.  Let me tell you why.

Anker Wireless Bluetooth 4.0 Headset with Charging Dock Review

I love the design of the Anker Wireless Bluetooth headset and charging dock.

Hey there. I live in sunny California and I spent a lot of time in traffic.  And I mean A LOT!  If any of you have ever had the experience of driving on the freeways around Los Angeles, you'll know that you could be in for a long car ride.  One of the biggest no nos of the road out here is that you can not be caught with a cell phone in your hand.  It doesn't matter if you were using your phone's GPS system.  If a police officer finds you with a cell phone in your hand, you will be ticketed.  Trust me... I should know.  You could always have your phone in speaker mode or turn on the "car mode" on your phone, but that still means you need to touch it and risk being ticketed.  Well, worry no more, friends!  Our good friends at Anker provided me with an Anker Wireless Bluetooth 4.0 Headset with Charging Dock to try out and review and let me tell you, it's fantastic!  It's small, it's sleek, it's stylish, and IT WORKS BEAUTIFULLY.  Before I get into my experience with this wireless headset, let's get some of the technical details out of the way.

Get An Awesome VISA Debit Card at Card.com

Tough choice... these are all awesome!

Hey there. How many of you have a debit or credit card? Just about all of you, right. And I bet it's a standard bank issued card, right? Just the same old standard bank design. If you're lucky, the banks offer debit and credit cards in different colors but that's IF you're lucky. If you're anything like me, you like to express yourself.  Whether it be through the music I listen to, the clothes that I wear, or the tattoos that I sport.  Whatever it is, I want it to show my personality.  So why not do the same with your debit/credit card?  Well guess what?  I DID!  Our good friends at Card.com walked me through the process of getting a a VISA debit card that screams me.  Just look at the some of the card options above.

RAVPower Dynamo On The Go Power Bank Review

Hey there.  Who here has a mobile device?  You know... a tablet or a smart phone.  In this day and age, just about every one and their grandma has one.  I'm guilty of owning several devices!  I have a Kindle Fire, a few iPods, and a few smart phones in our household.  And you know what... it can be a pain to have to charge all the devices at once.  Our "charging station" is full of adapters and chargers that it's not even funny.  Anyways, when your family is as dependant on mobile devices as mine is, the last thing you want to see is "low battery" on any of them.  And you knowwhat... it happens a lot!  The kids are listening to music or watching videos on thier iPods, the wife is pinning away on the Kindle Fire, and I'm checking in on sports on the phone.  With the heavy usage that we put into our devices, it's bound to happen.  But you know what... it sucks when it does.  That usually means you have to stop doing what you are doing and go to the "charging station."  In our family, that means you're stuck in a corner, attached to a wall charger and that's no fun.  But that's about to change now.  Our good friends over at RAVPower provided me with a RAV Power Dynamo on the Go Power Bank to try out and review!  It's an external battery where you can charge your mobile devices without having to be confined to a wall outlet.  I've had the pleasure of trying out and testing the Dynamo on the Go Power Bank for the past week and I am now ready to let you guys know how awesome it is. Let's get to it!

8GB Thor Marvel Avengers USB Drive

THOR USB FLASH DRIVE!!!

Hey there.  I love flash drives.  They have been a life saver to me.  I can easily transfer files from one computer to the next with little to no effort.  I can save computer saving programs on flash drives.  Share pictures with my friends and family with a flash drive.  Because of the sheer usefulness of flash drives, I always carry one with me.  But I've also found myself collecting some awesomely designed flash drives as well.  The latest to join my collection?  This awesome 8GB Thor Marvel Avengers USB Drive!  Our good friends at Tmart provided this Thor flash drive to try out and review.  After spending a week or so giving it a go, I'm ready to give you my thoughts on it.  So let's get to it!

Keep Your Body Dry with Gold Bond No Mess Powder Spray

I participated in a campaign on behalf of Mom Central Consulting for Gold Bond. I received product samples and a promotional item as a thank you for participating. 

Hey there. Summers can be pretty hot here in Southern California. Temperatures regularly hit 90 degrees and that can lead to some pretty sweaty bodies walking around.  Even though many of us can hit the beach or walk around an air conditioned mall, many others are stuff inside offices and being sweaty at the work place is just not recommended.  See, I work in an office and for the most part, the air conditioner keeps us cool.  But there has been times where it breaks down and we are stuck in the sweltering heat.  I've gotten into the habit of sprinkling some Gold Bond foot powder spray in my shoes to keep them dry.  Last thing I want to have is moist feet where fungus and bacteria can grow.  But the problem that I had with the powder is that it's kind of messy.  Sometimes I sprinkle too much and it gets all over the rug.  Sometimes it gets all over the outside of my shoe so I'll have to spend some time cleaning it up.  Well, now I don't have the messy problem anymore.  Our good friends at Dad Central and Gold Bond have provided me with the Gold Bond No Mess Powder Spray to try out and let me tell you, this is replacing the standard powder.

New Trent Dual Port AC Charger Review

Hey there.  I've recently been accepted into the New Trent Beta Tester program.  I'm pretty excited about the opportunity to try out great New Trent products and give out reviews for them.  This is my first review for them so I'm hoping that this is the first of many.  So what was sent my way?  Our good friends at New Trent sent me the New Trent Dual Port AC Charger to try out and review!  Before we get into my experience with the charger, here are some of the specs of the device:

The AVEENO Men's Collection for a Wonderful, Close Shave

I participated in a campaign on behalf of Dad Central Consulting for AVEENO. I received product samples and a promotional item as a thank you for participating.

Hey there.  I have a love/hate relationship with shaving.  I love that I can snuggle close to my wife after a good, close shave, but I hate the nicks, cuts, and razor burn that sometimes comes with shaving.   I wouldn't say that I have sensitive skin, but if I go about a week without shaving, I can almost guarantee myself that my shaving experience won't be a good one.  Sometimes, it would get to a point where I would try to avoid shaving!  lol  But as most men would tell you, going that long without shaving will leave your face very prickly and snuggle time with the wife will go down to zero... Nobody wants thier face scratched by stubble!  I've tried to switch up my razor and that didn't help.  I even switched from shaving gel to foam to back again.  I just couldn't find a good enough product that will leave my skin feeling good and provided me with a close, comfortable shave.  That is, until I was introduced to the AVEENO Men's Collection.  Our good friends at AVEENO and Dad's Central provided me with a set of the AVEENO Men's Collection, which consisted of a face wash, shaving gel, and aftershave.  After more than a few shaving sessions, I'm ready to give my thoughts and insights on the AVEENO Men's Collection.  Let's get to it.

Flips HD Headphones by Flips Audio Review

Hey there.  I love music and movies.  Even though my favorite genre of music is hard rock, I listen to all kinds of tunes.  Same deal with movies.  I'm a huge fan of the Asian Horror flicks but that doesn't mean I won't sit and enjoy a good chick flick with the wife.  But just because I love it doesn't mean that the rest of the family does.  Because of it, I depend on my headphones to keep the tunes going or the movie playing when I'm watching something or listening to something the family is not all that interested in.  Recently, my good friends at Flips Audio provided me a set of Flips HD Headphones to try out.  Now, I have my fair share of headphones but let me tell you, these Flips HD headphones are freakin' awesome!  Let me tell you all about them.

BassBoomz Provides Exceptional Sound in a Small Speaker

Hey there.  I love me a good set of earbuds.  When I go to the gym, I take none other than my silver BassBuds.  If you don't have a clue what BassBuds are, you need to read this post.  In short, they are an awesome set of headphones.  So awesome, in fact, that I just recently received a second set of BassBuds.  I receive a blue set from the Fashion Collection.  If you are in need of some headphones that will provide you an exceptional listening experience, you should definitely check out some BassBuds!  Now, BassBuds are awesome for an individual listening experience.  They are perfect for the single listener, but what if you have a group with you and you want to share in on the listening experience?  Enter, the BassBoomz speaker!

Anker 4 Port USB 3.0 Hub Review

Hey there. Speed, speed, speed. Now a days, everything needs to be fast. Our computers need to be fast, our internet connection needs to be fast, and our data transfers need to be fast. Computer processors are now smaller and faster, fiber optic internet cables are bring the online world at blazing fast speed, and the USB 3.0 (SuperSpeed) ports is the top of the line for faster data transfer speeds.

What I'm Playing... Kersploosh!

Hey there.  Do you member a time when it fun to toss a rock?  Whether it be trying to knock over a tin can or trying to get it to skip across water, as a child, the most mundane of objects could become an afternoon of fun.  That is the first thought that came to my head to moment I started playing Kersploosh!, on the Nintendo 3DS.  The good people at Nintendo provided me a copy of the game and I am thankful that they did.  The family and I have been taking turns trying to 1 up each others times, and even though there are many big name downloads on the Nintendo eShop, Kersploosh! is one of those rare gems that the whole family can enjoy together.  Well, let's get into it, shall we?

ECigaretteReviewed.com for the Best and Unbiased Reviews of Electronic Cigarettes (E Cigs)

Hey there.  Smoking is bad habit.  Personally, I do not smoke.  I've always thought it was a bad habit and something that I didn't need in my life.  But you know what...  it is in my life.  Many of my friends and family members smoke.  They made a decision some point in their lives to take up smoking and now they are addicted to the nicotine in cigarettes.  Just like drinking, smoking is socially acceptable and many people take up smoking socially.  But what if you are addicted?  What if you really are not choosing to smoke because your addiction to nicotine and tobacco is tough to break?  I've seen it first hand.  I've seen more than a few family members try to quit, but they just couldn't break the habit.  They tried the patches and they tried the chewing gums but they just don't seem to work.  If this sounds familiar to you, then maybe you might want to consider Electronic cigarettes (E Cigs).  Not only are they better for those around those who smoke, they may also be the key to breaking the habit.

Thoughts on... Pester (XBLA Game) by Flump Studios

Hey there.  Our good friends over at Flump Studios are at it again and have released another GREAT XBLA game!  Super Killer Hornet (SKH) was pretty cool and now they have released Pester, another great shooter that takes me back to the days of Gradius and Galaga.  Pester is currently available at the Xbox Live Marketplace for a mere 80 MS!  Before we get into the game itself, I want to give a little info on Flump Studios.  Flump Studios is an up and coming small indie game developer and they are based in the UK.  They have been working on games for about a year now and have developed a few mobile games before their SKH release on Xbox Live Arcade. Pester is their second game into the marketplace and I believe they are already working on thier next title.  I respect all game developers but it's something about the indie titles that I feel more drawn too.  I feel as if they are living their dream and it's pretty cool to see thier hard work finally pay off.  That's a big reason why I enjoyed Indie Game: The Movie... but that's for another post.  Now... my thoughts on....  Pester!

Thoughts On... The Anker High Precision Laser Gaming Mouse with 8000 DPI

Oh yeah!  Time to get my gaming on!

Hey there.  What's in a computer mouse?  It's just a thing to click on stuff, right?  WRONG!  A great mouse is everything when it comes to gaming.  It needs to have precision, it needs to be responsive, it needs to have buttons that are fully customizable, and it needs to be easy to use.  It sounds like a lot is going on in that sentence, doesn't it?  Well, our good friends at Anker provided me with the Anker High Precision Laser Gaming Mouse with 8000 DPI and it is EXACTLY what you are looking for in a high quality gaming mouse.  After more than a week of trying out this mouse, I can honestly say that it's the best mouse that I have every used.  Not just for gaming but for every day use as well.  Let's get to it, shall we?

So let's get to it, friends!

Wanderer Thoughts Vol. 1 Poetry Book Review

Hey there.  Do you know why poetry is so awesome?  I'm certain that the question may be answered with many different responses.  And that, my friends, is the reason why poetry is so awesome.  Poetry is art as words.  The same way a painting can have different meanings to different people, a poem can convey that same effect.  Words can be a powerful medium.  The author can use a set of words to not only create a meaningful composition but use those words in such a way that the meaning can be whatever you interpret it to be.  That's pretty awesome, if you ask me.  But what if the author is restricted by certain words?  Can you imagine an artist creating a beautiful visual using only a set amount of colors?  Justin Germino, the author of Wanderer Thoughts Vol. 1 did the equivalent of that.

Justin collects words given to him by his Twitter followers to create poetry.  Twitter users provide Justin with words during his daily Random Twitter Poetry Game and he creates a daily poem using those words.  He has amassed quite a few words and has created well over 600 poems.  Vol. 1 takes some of those poems and gives us a glimpse into some of the poetry that Justin has created.  Some of the poems may be whimsical while others are more dark.  Personally, I love the first poem in this volume, The Lust Queen.  It flows seamlessly and paints a clear picture.  It's exactly what I would expect from a well versed poet.  But don't take it from me, go and check it out!  If you have a buck to spend, go ahead and get the book and check it out.  If you are part of Amazon Prime, go ahead and borrow the book.  It's a great read and something that every poetry enthusiast will enjoy!  If you are interested in checking out some of Justin's this and other poetry, make sure to check out his site of poetry, Wanderer Thoughts.  Later!
