RTGS 30 Micro LED String Lights in Warm White Color Review
The RTGS 30 Micro LED String lights in warm white color is perfect for small crafts or projects. It came in a plastic box and this included the black battery compartment box, 30 LED string lights and a remote control.
The RTGS micro LED string lights consist of 30 grain-sized bulbs in warm white color. The bulb are spaced at 4 inches apart and the entire cord has a total of 10 feet length. There is a 12 inch clear cable connecting the string lights to the battery compartment box which gives this a total of 11 feet cable length.
The black battery compartment box is made of a hard plastic case and it locks in firmly. This needs 3 x AA batteries and isn't included. There is a button on the upper left part which is used to turn on the lights and change through the 3 different functions.
Pressing the button once will turn on the lights and stay on timed mode. Pressing it again will change it to continuous on and pressing it the third time will turn off the light. Using the remote control included will also go through the same light modes.
The timed mode lets the string lights stay on for 6 hours and automatically turn off after that. After 18 hours, it'll automatically turn on again. In this mode, the battery life can last up to 14 days. For the continuous on mode, the battery life can only last up to 48 hours.
Since this works on 3 x AA batteries, this is perfect to use for crafts and projects but I wouldn't use it to decorate our home. The bulbs are bright despite their small, grain-like size. I like that all the bulbs are working and that the cable included has a clear, silver-y color.

RTGS 60 LED String Lights in Warm White Color Review

I recently received the 60 LED String Lights in warm white color from RTGS and I looked forward to trying it. I've tried several products from RTGS already and I like their string lights because they are bright despite the small, grain-sized bulbs.
The 60 LED string lights arrived in a plastic box and the description is printed on the front label. This set is nice because it came with a remote control.
The bulbs have a tear drop shape and is as small as a grain of rice. These bulbs are spaced at 4 inches apart and the total length of the cable is 20 feet. The cable/cord has a clear, silver-y color.
This works on 6 x AA batteries which is not included. The battery compartment box has a black color and has a snap on lock which keeps the cover in place. The battery compartment box isn't waterproof and is not submersible in water.
There is a single button on the upper left part of the battery compartment box. When pushed once, this goes into the timed mode of the lights. In this setting, the lights will stay on for 6 hours and then automatically turn off. It'll stay off for 18 hours and then turn on again after 18 hours. For this setting, batteries are expected to last up to 14 days.
Pushing the button again will change the mode to continuous on. In this setting, the batteries are supposed to last for 48 hours.
Pushing the button the third time will turn the lights off. The remote control can be used to change through the light functions but it should be done in a near range. I noticed that from afar, the remote control wouldn't work.
The RTGS 60 LED String Lights in warm white color is perfect for projects and crafts because it's portable and easy to use. For home use, this isn't practical since it uses batteries to power up.

RTGS 100 LED String Lights in Cold White Color Review

I've tried a few products from RTGS before and this time, I was sent a 100 LED String Lights in cold white color. I was excited to try this one because it already has a transformer included because one of the pros is that I can use this for our home without having to use batteries.
The RTGS 100 LED String lights arrived in a plastic box. Here is a quick product description from the company:
100 Super Bright Cold White Color LED Lights on 32 Ft Long Silver Ultra Thin Silver Wire with 4 Inches Distance Between LED Bulbs and 10 Ft Clear Cable Between Wire and Transformer. TOTAL STRING LENGTH OVER 42 FEET !!!
Ultra Thin, Bendable but Sturdy Wire with LED Lights is Totally Submersible but NOT TRANSFORMER !!!
Included Custom Made AC to 7.5V DC Transformer (Size: 2 x 2.5 x 0.75 in) that is Very Small, Lite and Clear. THE SMALLEST AVAILABLE ON THE MARKET !!!

We offer 100% RTGS Products Satisfaction Guarantee and 2 Years Warranty. RTGS Products is Exclusive Designer, Manufacturer and Seller of Our RTGS Lights.
The RTGS 100 LED String Lights have small, tear-drop shaped, grain-sized LED lights which are bright for their size. The silver cord included makes it look nice and not noticeable. The lights have a 4 inch spacing and the entire cord measures 30 feet in length.
The 7.5V mini transformer can be easily plugged in any socket. This includes a 10 feet silver cable connecting to the transformer aside from the 32 feet of silver cable which holds the bulbs. None of the bulbs have worn out yet and I like that the bulbs have over 32,000 hours of life in them.
This is easy to use and perfect to use for decorating around the house since it powers up with the 7.5V transformer included in the box. It's also perfect for projects and crafts if there is a nearby socket available to plug the transformer in. The lights are bright considering their small size and I like that all lights work properly. There are no other light options for this pack aside from turning it on or off. There are also no buttons to turn the lights on or off and can be done by plugging the transformer in.
This works like it should and perfect to use when there is an electrical socket available and needed to be turned on for longer periods of time.

Firefly Craft Reusable And Rewritable Chalkboard Labels Review

Have you ever heard of chalkboard labels? Well, the first time I tried these labels, I was hooked into using them around our home. Why? Because they're easy to use, reusable, rewritable, durable and a lot more. I recently received the Firefly Craft Chalkboard Labels and I looked forward to trying it.
Before I head on over to my review, here is a short product description from the company:
-Reusable decals let you change your mind as often as you want. Simply peel up and stick to a new surface or simply wipe off writing with a wet rag. Use with both regular chalk and chalkboard markers and pens.
-Premium vinyl sticker is top rack dishwasher and freezer safe. Top quality vinyl can withstand heavy use.
-Organize your pantry, toy bins, office supplies, tool storage, craft goods, refrigerator, freezer, etc.
-At parties, use for wedding place markers, on mason jar drinks or as gift tags.
-Decorate your car, walls, doors, mirrors, glass, windows and lockers- virtually any hard smooth surface!
-Elegant border gives your project a unique flair and added depth.
-Variety Pack includes 60 total labels: 20 large rectangular labels (3" x 2"), 20 medium rectangular labels (2.5" x 1.5"), 10 small rectangular labels (1.75" x 1") and 10 round labels (1.5" diameter). A size for every project!
The first thing I liked about these chalkboard labels is that these come in different sizes and shapes. I like the different sizes and shapes included in this pack because I can choose which would be more suitable to use on different things around our home. For example, for smaller containers, I can use the smaller chalkboard labels and for bigger ones, I can use the bigger labels.
Next, I like that I can write and erase writings on the chalkboard labels using a wet cloth or wet wipes.
The chalkboard labels wipe off clean which is nice because I can change the writings on the labels. Once dry, I can write on the chalkboard label again and the quality and surface of the label still stays the same.
The sticky side of the chalkboard labels are smooth and reusable. I like that I can peel it off without leaving any sticky remnants on the container and at the same time, I can stick it again on new container. I've done this a couple of times just to try it and it works.
Other than that, I like that these chalkboard labels are made of vinyl and doesn't tear easily. The writing surface of the chalkboard labels has a rough texture which makes it easier for me to write on it. Using a chalk marker on this, it takes more than 30 seconds for it to dry. Once dry, it doesn't smudge easily when I run my finger on the writings.
I like how versatile these labels are because I can use these to label different things around our home like spice containers, jars, cups, binders, folders, plastic drawers and a lot more. With 5 sheets, each sheet has 11 different shape and sized label, I have more than enough to use around our home.
These are nice chalkboard labels which work as they should. My spice bottles, jars, files, folders, drawers and my daughters' toy drawers are more organized because I was able to label them properly and clearly using these labels.

Toddler Pillow And Pillow Case From Little One's Pillow Review

My 2 daughters LOVE pillows and they have a lot. They got it from me because I can't sleep without at least 2 pillows. When I received the Toddler Pillow and Pillow Case from the Little One's Pillow, I was super excited to show it to my daughters because I know they'll be excited to try it.
Here is a brief description of the Toddler Pillow and Pillow Case from the Little One's Pillow company:
Our toddler pillow is made out of 100% organic cotton and filled with a special polyester fiber. It is very soft, supportive and machine washable. It measures 13 in X 18 in, and is best suited as a first pillow for kids between ages 1.5 and 3 years old. Makes a fantastic travel pillow too!
We will also offer a premium, handcrafted pillowcase, custom made for our pillow. With the certified organic cotton and with a 357 thread count, this pillowcase has not been treated with any chemicals and is ultra soft.
The pillow case from the Little One's Pillow has a super soft feel with a breathable sateen smooth finish. It has a 14 in x 20.5 in dimension and fits the Toddler Pillow from the Little One's Pillow perfectly after the first wash. It shrunk a bit but that just made the pillow case a perfect fit for the toddler pillow.
I wash this pillow case frequently because my 4 year old daughter "drools" in her sleep and I like that this doesn't form any pillings and it becomes softer each wash. The color haven't changed and I like that the fabric didn't shrink any further after the first wash.
The Toddler Pillow measures 13 in. x 18 in and has a height of 3 in. It has a soft, fluffy feel and the height is right for my 4 year old daughter's head. I like that this pillow is washable because as I've said, my daughter "drools" in her sleep so I wash her pillows often as well. This doesn't become lumpy or deform and I've washed this in our washing machine using cold water as well as dried it using our dryer on medium setting.
The size of the toddler pillow from Little One's Pillow is just right for my daughter to carry it around and even bring it when we go on a trip. It's lightweight as well so she doesn't have a hard time carrying it.
I like how this set is perfect for toddlers because the size of the pillow and the pillow case is perfect for their little heads. It's also very suitable for them because I can wash it over and over again without the pillow forming lumps and the pillow case forming pillings.

Keep Your Tub Free From Toys With The Bubble Baby Bath Toy Organizer Review

My 2 daughters love playing when they're taking a bath. They have bath toys in the bathroom to play with and every time they finish playing with them, I would have to get the toys, let them air dry outside and then put them in a pail outside the bathroom. Honestly, this is a bit of a hassle specially when I'm in a hurry.
When I received the Bubble Baby Bath Toy Organizer, I was quite excited to see if this is effective enough to keep my daughters' bath toys organized.
The Bubble Baby Bath Toy Organizer's bag is made out of a mesh fabric. According to the company, this is mildew resistant and washable.
I like the fabric mesh material because this helps to let air circulate inside the bag and the toys. This is convenient for me because I don't have to gather their toys and let it dry outside the bathroom anymore. With this, I just place their toys inside the Baby Bath Toy Organizer and let it dry from there.
The Baby Bath Toy Organizer also includes 2 green suction cups with a spring to further help with the strength of the suction to cup to stay in place. This has a rubber-like material which looks really cute.
The Bubble Bath Toy Organizer's description says it can effectively hold up to 20 lbs. of toys but all of my daughters' bath toys weigh only about 8 lbs. This is effective enough to hold my daughters' bath toys and doesn't come off the wall. I followed the directions and extra measures from the company like cleaning the wall first and adding oil on the center of the suction cup to further strengthen their hold.
I like how our bathroom looks much more in order and organized because of the Bubble Baby Bath Toy Organizer.

Sleep Comfortably With The Shredded Memory Foam Pillow By Xtreme Comforts Review

I can't sleep without a pillow. Hubby sleeps without a pillow so he always asks me why I need so much pillow. Maybe because when I was younger, I always had at least 3 pillows (2 for my head and a body pillow) when I sleep. Anything less than 3 would cause me to toss and turn at night.
When I received the Shredded Memory Foam Pillow by Xtreme Comforts, I was super excited to try it because some of my pillows are already in bad shape.
The Shredded Memory Foam Pillow by Xtreme Comforts arrived rolled up in an air-tight plastic. I bought a memory foam topper online before and arrived in the same condition as the Shredded Memory Foam pillow so I quite knew that this would fluff up once I remove it from the packaging.
Here is a quick product description from the company:
Xtreme Comforts Shredded Memory Foam Pillow and Kool-Flow(tm) Bamboo Cover can help eliminate these problems!
Everyone is different and likes their pillow shaped to their individual preference. Our pillow comfortably shapes to your head & neck in any position while maintaining proper support all night long ensuring you a better nights sleep. It will be the most comfortable pillow that you will ever own.
Our Kool-Flow(tm) Bamboo Cover keeps your pillow cool all night long.
As I unrolled the Shredded Memory Foam Pillow,it started fluffing up.
When I opened the plastic, the pillow continue to fluff up by itself.
When fully fluffed, which took about 2 hours, the Shredded Memory Foam Pillow in Standard Size measured 21.5 x 17.5 x 3 inches.
The cover of the Shredded Memory Foam Pillow has a nice, textured design with small, diamond-like grooves with little holes.
The Shredded Memory Foam Pillow by Xtreme Comforts has a soft feel. It's different compared to my current pillows because instead of the pillow being too stiff or too soft, this cradles my head and contours to the shape of my head and neck. Thinking of how my 6 year old daughter described it when she tried the pillow, she said it felt like she's on the clouds, I can't help but agree to what she said. She couldn't have described it better.
The Shredded Memory Foam Pillow also felt cool even with the weather becoming warmer already. I noticed how I slept peacefully and comfortably as well as felt well rested after using this for a couple of nights. The tension on my neck and shoulders are gone already and I love how it springs back up (this has no spring by the way). By the time I use it at night again, the pillow has fluffed back up to its original shape.
