Stainless Steel Kitchen Knife Set

    Stainless Steel Kitchen Knife Set by Lucentee

 The stainless steel knife set by Lucentee is incredibly sharp and colorful. I’ve used an old dull set for so long that it’s amazing how much easier and enjoyable sharp knives make cooking. Chopping is still a chore, but not one that stops me from cooking any longer; sorry Burger King. This set comes with six colorful knives and each knife comes…

Two Meows Cat Litter Mat

  What it is:

A cute paw print shaped kitty mat.

The 10 main advantages to this product are (per manufacturer):

1. It significantly reduces litter scatter around the litter box area. 2. It reduces litter being tracked throughout your home in the carpet and furniture. 3. It’s easy cleaning. The mat can be folded to shake litter back into the box. 4. It can be rinsed. 5. It’s soft on your cat’s paws (beware, there are other mats that look similar but “not” soft like ours is). 6. We utilize more premium material so it’s long lasting. 7. It’s a non-slip grip on the back so it stays in place. 8. It’s Fun. 9. It doesn’t trap odors like cloth mats. 10. We offer a 100% satisfaction guarantee.

Price:

The current price for the Two Meows Cat Litter Mat, as of this writing, is $19.97.

My Experience/Review:

This is a really nice mat. My cat is “special” to say the least, and he still hasn’t figured out this whole kitty box/litter thing. He’s 15, I don’t think he’s ever going to figure it out. He manages to get litter everywhere, and has to scratch every surrounding wall before he starts kicking litter out of the box. Because of this we’ve had to put the pan in a cardboard box to help contain the litter. This has helped with three of the sides, but that left the front open and he still manages to get the litter everywhere. It’s an ongoing battle.

When I saw this mat, I was super excited. It’s so cute! The texture is a spongy feeling texture, not rough at all, which is very important with my fur ball. The bottom is made from some type of material that doesn’t allow the mat to slide easily. It does well at catching most of the litter and keeping it contained.

My special little (not so little) kitty (old fart) has what can only be described as kitty OCD and he’s very territorial about his litter box and what he leaves in it. Litter box cleaning day is traumatic for him. I only mention this because after sniffing the mat a while he deemed it not important and allowed it to stay near his special place without any trauma. I guess it’s a kitty, whatever, which is a thumbs up in kittyville. My only wish for the mat would be for it to be a little bit bigger for my extra large cat and his extra litter box.

    Samsung Galaxy Note 4 Folio Wallet Case

What it is:

Samsung Galaxy Note 4 Folio Wallet Case with Hard Flip Cover, Adjustable Stand & Slots for ID & Payment / Credit Cards.

What it does:

Protective case, designed with flexibility in mind. Serves as a case, a wallet & a stand for your Galaxy Note 4.

Price:

The current price for the Note 4 Folio Wallet Case by Abacusink, as of this writing, is $9.45.

My Experience/Review:

I have limited experience purchasing items from ebay and purchasing items using PayPal. Put them both together and you have disaster. Well, I recently moved and I thought unchecking the box in PayPal that said to use this address would not use my old address on my order, but the address I had manually entered. Apparently, this is not the case.

Abacusink had said the item would arrive USPS so I though no problem. I have forwarding and the Post Office will forward the case. Well, it turns out it was shipped DHL, no forwarding. We tried going to the old place, but the elderly lady who lives there now doesn’t speak English and either she or we are not good at charades, so that was a lose too.

I contacted Abacusink through ebay and their response was to file a claim with USPS. Unfortunately, per USPS that item does not qualify for a claim, so I was out there. I contacted them through Tomoson and they finally responded that they would send another case. This was on 06/23/15, so I waited until 07/01/15 to contact them again. Plenty enough time for the case to arrive. I was a bit panicky because my review with Tomoson was due in 7 days. I had never missed a deadline and didn’t want to start now. So, I contacted Abacusink again. They responded on 07/03/15 with the tracking information. Tracking that had not yet reached USPS because the order hadn’t shipped yet. Well, are you doing the math on that little number? I was! Time is almost up for my review!

***

Finally, this morning, I checked the mail and walla! My new phone case. One day left until my review is due. So, this is a first impression. I obviously have not had any time using this case, but it seems really nice.

The case has three slots. One being a picture window for your ID. It also has a larger section to hold some cash. I currently have it stuffed to the brim with cards and coupons. No cash :( But the case is closing fine stuffed as it is. However, it’s at its limit for sure; at least if I still want it to close.

The phone fits securely in the cradle and the ports and buttons are easily accessible. The case closes with a magnetic flap that seems pretty strong. It’s made of a pleather of some sort that is pretty stiff. It seems like it would protect my phone pretty well. At least as well as any wallet case.

I only use wallet cases, I love them! I really don’t like carrying purses most of the time, but I love to buy purses (go figure). This seems to be a really well made case that fits all my requirements for a good phone case. It holds a decent amount of items. It has a section for cash and more than 2 card slots. Overall, I think I will be really happy with this case.
