Light up any room with the SmartThings smart bulb that's easy to control from your smartphone or tablet. Turn on the living room lamps as you're heading home, dim the lights from movie night, or schedule them to turn off before bed. It's a smarter way to light your house while saving money on energy costs.

I wasn't sure I would like this bulb very much because it does not have a color change option, like other available smart bulbs on the market, and I honestly kinda wanted that option. That aside, I am very pleased with this bulb. I like the dimmer function a lot, sometimes you want full brightness and sometimes you don't. I also love that if I come home late, I can now turn the light on inside from my car, not having to walk into a completely dark home. You will need the smart things hub to operate this bulb however, so be aware before you buy it!

Okay so I will be comparing this soundbar to my JBL, which cost a bit more than this one. The setup was nonexistent, no pairing needed, just simply plug them in and they pair right up, sweet! There are several sound settings you can choose from, I prefer the base blast, especially for listening to music, but also for watching movies. I used the optical connection method, because honestly I didn't have a spare HDMI cord and didn't feel like buying one. Especially when optical works just fine, I use it on my JBL as well. Now to the comparison... the JBL was definitely more costly, and there might be a slight sound difference between the two, but honestly this LG is such a good deal. Its over a hundred cheaper, and the sound is amazing! I also love the sleek design of the soundbar itself, as well as the display on it. Now I can tell what setting its on along with the volume, which is nice since my other soundbar doesn't have that.
*Public service announcement: Don't buy this if you live in an apartment because your neighbors will hate you lol*

I will start off by saying that I got this for one reason, and that was for photo storage. I have 3 old phones I've been saving because I didn't want to lose the photos, and have already put them on a now retired laptop. I realized putting all my photos on my laptops was a bad idea after the last one died and I couldn't recover anything. Thankfully I still have the phones and digital camera. Now I can take the photos from all my devices and put them into one place again. Setup was super easy, you have to download their app and set up an account, no biggie. It also has a desktop app, though I haven't checked that out yet. Uploading the photos was easy as well. There is plenty of storage space at 2TB, so we wont run out anytime soon. You can also share your photos with friends and family if you choose. I took off one star because they unit needs to stay plugged in constantly or it is useless. Other than that I am very happy with this product and cant wait to finish getting all my pics/vids transferred over to it. I can finally free up some memory on my iPad!

Sleep in comfort on this queen-size Sealy mattress. The premium memory foam conforms to individual body shapes, and the inner layer of Bolsa coils powered by Active Support Technology allows for airflow and provides a supportive core. The soft circular knit cover of this Sealy mattress adds an extra touch of luxury.
Posted by: Dawntastic1

Let me start this review by saying that the mattress replaced with this one with is also a Sealy. It also cost me around the same amount for a queen (roughly $700). That mattress has lasted 14 years, and honestly is still very comfortable to sleep on, not lumpy in the slightest or any coil issues. But heck yeah I wanted a new one, and boy did I score big with this Hybrid! It's so comfortable to sleep on, like a cloud, with a firm foundation. I was not expecting this mattress to come compressed and rolled up in a box.. so imagine my surprise when I come home to a long rectangular box behind my porch. The box was quite heavy and not very easy to get up 6 stairs and inside the door. But I managed, all by myself. So just be aware of that if you live alone, or simply with a child too young to help you lol. Once the compression wrapping was off it plumped up very quickly. It said to give it 48 hours to fully decompress, but come on, who's going to wait that long to sleep on their new bed?! It was opened around 9:30am and not slept on until approximately 9:30pm, so 12 hours. It felt completely fine to me and was very comfy. I will say that it had a funky smell, which the instructions said will go away in about 72hrs, and to let it "air out" for that amount of time... once again, who is going to do that?! If I have a new mattress I want to sleep on it ASAP. So I dealt with the smell for a few nights and poof, it was gone. I had honestly forgotten about it before I realized it went away. Definitely not a big deal, just thought I'd mention it! This mattress it also thicker than my previous one, with the added memory foam layer on top. I was a bit worried the fitted sheet wouldn't fit, but it was just fine, no issues at all. Also important to note, I have pretty sever back and neck pain, and though I wasn't expecting much, this mattress has definitely helped! I don't know how, because I didn't change my pillow, but my neck pain is almost non-existent now, after only a week of sleeping on this mattress! My back however is a different story, I have a lower spinal curve with pretty severe lower back pain, which is at its very worst in the mornings. I have noticed a difference in the amount of pain I have when getting out of bed, and in my ability to bend forward. That's a win for me! This mattress cannot solve my back issues, but it has most definitely helped. All in all I absolutely LOVE this mattress and will recommend it to anyone, especially those with neck and back pain!

I was initially excited to receive this camera. We have a newer version of a polaroid camera already, that also only has small photos. We got that one about 5 years ago. However, we stopped using it because of the high cost of the film. The Canon - IVY Cliq+ Instant Film Camera also has pretty expensive film, with it costing around .50 cents per photo. So if you're looking to take and/or print a lot of pictures, be ready to drop some $$$. That being said, the app was super easy to use and connect the camera/printer to. I was able to print photos I had saved in my phone, but you can also use several other social media apps. Now on to the quality of the photos... this was also a disappointment. The photo that I took with the camera, was fairly bright and well lit, probably due to the added lighting ring on the front. However, the photos I printed from my phone were very dark in comparison to what the photos look like in my phone. I know that the printer is small, but with the price they're charging for this thing I assumed the pic quality would be a little better. I will say the photos were decently clear with the detail, just washed out and darkened from the original. If they lower the price of not only the camera, but the film, I would say this would be a good gift for a teen, as you can peel and stick the photos to anything you like. But as it stands now, I wont be purchasing more film once we run out. The camera (we got rose gold) is very appealing to look at, and feels sleek, but its more of a novelty, IMHO.

I'll start by saying that when I realized these headphones were wired I was not exactly thrilled. We play Xbox in the bedroom, with the Xbox on the tv stand and us sitting on the bed. There's quite a distance between the two. However, the wires are plenty long enough to reach. Setup was super easy, the instructions are idiot proof, pictures and all. The sound is great, crisp and clear, and loud if desired. We mainly use these for the Friday the 13th game and I can always hear everything perfectly. The microphone is very flexible and moves in every direction, which is perfect for kids who like to move stuff around, making it very hard to break I imagine. It is also detachable, it comes detached and you just snap it in. The headphones are very comfortable, even while wearing my glasses. There is an app to customize the sound to your liking, however we haven't felt the need to use it because we can hear everything perfectly. You can easily mute/unmute the microphone by sliding the switch on the wire, which then changes the color on the amp from green to red. I've never had a person not be able to hear me perfectly, and vice versa. You can also use these headphones to plug into anything with a headphone jack: computer, iPad, phone, ect. Which will come in handy if you have kids and they want to watch something on the tablet while in the car or same room as you. So far I am very happy with these headphones, fingers crossed they last for years to come.

The Dyson Pure Cool Me Air Purifier - Dyson's first personal purifying fan. Delivers a focused stream of purified air to cool you with Core Flow technology. Includes a fully-sealed HEPA filter and activated carbon filter to capture 99.97% of allergens and pollutants, including pollen, bacteria and pet dander.
Posted by: Dawntastic1

This Pure Cool Me is yet another awesome Dyson product added to our home. The fan is surprisingly strong for the size, even more so than the blue & gray heat/cool fan we currently use in our bedroom. This new one is a bit quieter, and also an air purifier, which is a great addition. It has an LED screen that lets you see when the filter needs to be replaced (see attached photo) simply by pressing the " i " button on the remote. The LED also dims in dark rooms, which is awesome! I currently use a scrunchy to block the bright blue light our other Dyson fan omits into the bedroom. I am very sensitive to any kind of lights while trying to sleep, so this feature is going to save me the headache of trying to cover it without also covering the sensor for the remote to work. The remote is almost identical to our older model, which still has the original battery btw, but this one is magnetized and sticks to the front of the unit. The fan has a very nice range for osculation, and unlike our previous model, you can tell where the center is, for better positioning. To change the direction of airflow vertically you simply slide the middle sphere up or down. You can set a timer for it to go off in: 30mins, 1hr, 2hrs, 4hrs & 8hrs. I will probably never use it however, as I need white noise while sleeping, so the fan stays on ALL night, year round! I cannot wait to see how well this fan cools our bedroom once the hot weather arrives here in Michigan.
Sidenote: Our Dyson heat/cool fan was bought in early 2012, 7 years ago, it has been used EVERYDAY during that time, and is still going strong, with the original battery that came in the remote! That says a lot about the longevity of their products.

I am very happy with this notebook. EXCEPT for it not having any USB ports, that is my only gripe so far. The notebook is very lightweight and sleek. The size is much smaller than a standard laptop, yet bigger than my ipad (see pics), pretty perfect actually. Setup was a breeze, connected to wifi in a snap. The display is lovely and movies look great on it. The speakers are very loud for the size of this notebook, don't expect any base though, as with most all devices not designed for that purpose. The included pen is a nice addition, for those who fancy them. My daughter found it fun for drawing pictures, though I personally find no other use for it, to each their own. The battery on this thing is amazing! It outlasts my laptop by about double the time, as well as the battery not draining while the notebook isn't being used. If I don't fully shutdown my laptop, the battery will slowly drain and die (even without use), not this guy! It sat untouched for several days and the battery was unaffected. When you do turn it off entirely, all you have to do is open it an it wakes up. Its nice to have a laptop/tablet in one. It has a very nice touchscreen, and when you rotate the keyboard it either becomes a stand for tablet mode, or fold all the way to get more of a tablet feel. The mousepad is very responsive and easy to use, still not as good as having an actual mouse, though that is personal preference. It has a lighted keyboard option, which is great when you're ruining your eyes in a dark room at night. The size of this notebook is also much better for my young daughter to use. She doesn't like my laptop because its too big and heavy on her lap, she does however love this notebook! It really is the perfect size for her. I am also a fan of how much lighter it is than my laptop, so easy to carry from room to room. The surface is a tad slippery though, so be careful, we almost had drop! Might look into getting a cover to avoid slips. I would say with battery life and size in mind, this Notebook 9 Pro would be perfect for college students on the go, that are not looking to lug around some heavy laptop with a short battery life... but also younger kids just learning how to use and operate computers. Its very versatile honestly.

Fancy machine for those into the coffee arts

Posted by: Dawntastic1
from Michigan, USA
Okay so I am not THAT into coffee, I drink it at work, or if I stop by Dunkin to grab breakfast, but that's about it. I was hoping this espresso machine was going to change that, but not so much. This machine is a BEAST. It's huge, heavy, well built, and very fancy in appearance. I like that is has a water filter because our water here is gross and I have to use a Brita for drinking water. I like that you can just make a regular cup of joe, or go with a fancy option you would spend $8 on at Starbucks. I like that you can adjust the strength between 1-5, I like my coffee at a 3 because I am sensitive to caffeine. I love the fresh brewed beans aspect, and the hot water dispenser option for brewing tea faster. What I don't like is how long it seems to take for one cup. The regular coffee machine seems to take about the same time to brew a whole pot, or maybe its just me being impatient? Also I am not a fan of all the "upkeep/maintenance" for this device. The water drip tray has to be emptied quite frequently as well as cleaning the inside. Not a huge deal, but definitely more work than a regular coffee maker.
I would say if you are really into coffee/espresso and all the fancy options they offer at the high end shops then this machine is for you! Why not invest in this and save money in the long run? Or be able to stay home in a snow storm and still enjoy your frothy espresso.
However for myself, this would not be a good investment as I am a simple gal who enjoys an ocassional cup of joe with flavored cream and sugar.

This shaver is replacing my 6 year old pink shaver, specifically for women. I must say this one is much nicer, even than when my pink one was brand new. This one glides so smoothly over skin, I don't have a problem around the curves of my legs. My last shaver, although designed for women, would nick me here and there, not this one. I even tried it on my daughter's legs, she's half Italian and very hairy for a girl, and her age. Her hair was quite long and this shaver worked like a charm. I had to empty it after one leg, and go over everything several times, but that's to be expected with the amount of hair we were working with lol! She said it felt nice and smooth, no nicks or skin irritation at all. It also charges super fast, which is awesome in pinch! It has a symbol that lights up when you're done shaving to remind you to clean/empty it. It will also tell you when it is time to replace the blades. I know this shaver is designed for men, but if you're a woman give it a try. Or guys, don't be surprised if your GF/wife steals this thing if they ever get a chance to use it!

The only real draw back was the fact that we had to take every HDMI cable out of our tv and put it into the sound bar which required additional set up in our tv functions. The sound quality is great! We use it in a large living room and we live on a busy main street. The use of the Bluetooth set up for our apple ipod and cellphones is awesome. The sound quality while using these devices is awesome!! All in all we love this sound bar and would not only recommend it but buy it again.

I thought the same thing until reading the directions. I have a 60" Samsung smart tv that is only a year old & all I used was the small thin wire that came with this system. So if you have a newer tv then all you would have to connect it that wire from the soundbar to the tv & you can leave all your HDMI cords hooked up as they were. Thats what I did & everything works great! Just a tip =]

The case is a pretty color but I was only able to see a pic of the back of the case & misunderstood what I was getting. I didnt want a case with the flap cover on the front so my mistake for not fully reading the description. For those looking for something like that, you would probably love it!
