Review: The Botvac D3 Connected Robot Vacuum (@NeatoRobotics)

This review is sponsored by Neato Robotics. They were kind enough to send out the Botvac D3 Connected Robot Vacuum for me to review. All opinions are my own and were in no way influenced. About 2 months ago, I received a Botvac D3 Connected Robot Vacuum from Neato Robotics. While I've become more familiar with Robotic Vacuums, this was only the second one I've used in my home. I've previously reviewed the Shark Ion Robot and loved it. I was anxious to see how the Botvac D3 Connected would stack up against it. One of the first things I noticed about the Botvac D3 is that it's built like a tank. I don't think durable does this thing justice. I'm a stickler when it comes to build quality of…

Review: Is the Shark Ion Robot Vacuum worth the money? (@sharkcleaning)

This review is sponsored by Shark. They sent me the new Shark Ion Robot Vacuum to review. The review contains my own opinions and thoughts as to the Shark Ion Robot Vacuum. I was not influenced by anyone or anything. Please help me share this review. Shortly before the recent holidays, I received a large box from Shark. If you're not familiar with the company, they make some pretty amazing vacuums and steam mops among other things. Inside this box was the brand new Shark Ion Robot Vacuum. Having never used one of these things before and only ever seeing one in the store, I had no idea what to expect. Below are my thoughts, personal experience and whether or not I would recommend this product to anyone. [foogallery id="68376"]…

Review: The Guardian Helmet for #Seizures, #Autism and #Epilepsy

This review is sponsored by Guardian Helmets. They were kind enough to send over a Guardian Helmet for me to check out, write about, and hopefully raise some awareness. ☺ The purpose of this post is to bring a product to your attention that may be of benefit to some of my readers. This was a bit more difficult to review because this isn't something that my kids require. As a result, I've decided to simply present you with the information, give my thoughts on the build quality, discuss the potential use scenarios and leave it up to you, as to whether or not it's something that will benefit your family. Guardian Helmets produces a protective helmet for kids and adults that helps protect them from traumatic brain injury. There…

Review: Is the Anker Power Core II 10000 worth your money? (@AnkerOfficial)

This review is sponsored by Anker. They were kind enough to send me some goodies to review and use to help raise some Autism Awareness. The opinions on these products are my own and in no way influenced by anyone or anything. A few weeks ago, I received a box from Anker. Anker is the top maker of portable chargers, USB cables as well as other tech we use every day. This particular box contained their brand new PowerCore II 10000 portable charger. They also included two charging cables as well. The first cable was USB C (most commonly used with new Android devices) and the second was a Lightening Cable (exclusive to Apple). While I'm not going into to detail about the cables themselves, they are top notch and…

Review: Bit Charge Stereo earbuds (@RowkinInc)

This post is sponsored by Rowkin. They were generous enough to send over a Bit Charge Stereo to unbox, review and help generate some Autism Awareness. The opinions in my review are my own and were no way influenced by anyone or anything other than my experience with the product. The Unboxing https://youtu.be/w239BMxQl7A The Full Review A couple weeks ago, Rowkin, maker of the world's smallest, truly wireless earbuds, sent me over a Bit Charge Stereo to unbox. Having unboxed some really expensive truly wireless earbuds already, I would be lying if I told you I wasn't skeptical of the Rowkin Bit Charge Stereo. After all, they're in many cases, less than half the price of more well-known brands and I've always been of the opinion that you get what…

Unboxing and Review of U-Lace No-Tie-Shoelaces

It's not very often that I become aware of a product or service that I absolutely love. In the past, it's really only been Vivint Home and Project Lifesaver. Having said that, I was recently introduced to a company called U-Lace. They may sound familiar and that's because you probably saw them on Shark Tank. As for myself, I missed that episode and so I'm learning about them now. Before I get into my brief review, I want to show you the unboxing video for U-Lace, so you can see for yourself what they're all about. :-) https://youtu.be/vfbX5UnGvSw As the above video demonstrated, U-Lace helps people gain independence by transforming tie shoes into slip-ons. This can be of enormous benefit to people with Autism, fine motor issues, arthritis or even cognitive…

Taking the @WithingsEN Steel Activity and Sleep Watch on my weight-loss journey

After my doctor's appointment yesterday, I'm motivated to continue moving in the right direction in regards to my health. The biggest thing I have to work on is my weight and blood pressure. These can be overwhelming to work on, but there are tools available to help keep people motivated. These tools come in the form of apps and activity trackers. While they aren't required to lose weight, they do make things a bit more fun and efficient. I've used many different activity trackers from Jawbone up, FitBit, Basis and the entire Samsung Gear series. Most do pretty much the same thing. The main difference is the device's corresponding app and how the app integrates or shares data with other third party apps like myfitnesspal. Recently, Nokia sent me the…

Review: How the Thermo Smart Thermometer made our lives easier (@WithingsEN)

A couple months ago, I received a Thermo Smart Thermometer from Nokia. The idea was to put it through the ringer and see how it works. Our case is a bit unusual because Emmett, our youngest, has a rare fever disorder. Tracking his temperature throughout the day has been a nightmare. https://youtu.be/5Wtgn7mfZvU When the Thermo arrived, I was really excited because I'm a techie, but mostly I was desperately hoping that it would make life a bit easier. You don't realize how complicated something as simple as tracking fevers can be when you have to do several times a day, every single day. [foogallery id="64700"] You can see in the above gallery, the Thermo is a relatively small device that fits very comfortably in your hand. There's only one button…
