Pyrex Storage 10-Piece Set, Clear with Blue Lids Review

The NEW Tupperware

It has finally come. An alternative to that melty, smelly, plastic Tupperware we are all unfortunately used too. Now, don’t get me wrong i love Tupperware as much as the next guy but i feel that it’s time for an upgrade.

My plastic Tupperware can be compared to a war zone. Sometimes i think my forks, plates and bowls just gang up on it while it’s being washed in the dishwasher. Every single time i remove it from the dishwasher it looks like a Brooklyn post modern art-exhibit.

I realize the analogies are very colorful, but this is the reason I’ve decided to invest into the Pyrex Storage 10-peice set and replace my plastic containers.

Pyrex Storage 10-Piece Set, Clear with Blue Lids

The Pryex Storage Set includes:

  • 2 round containers that can hold 2 cups each.
  • 3 rectangular containers that can hold half a cup.
  • 4 round containers that can hold 4 cups each
  • 6 rectangular containers that hold 6 cups each.

That makes for a total of 10 pieces of Pyrex Storage container. You won’t need more then 10 containers though, because the stability and integrity of Pyrex is far superior to plastic.

The Pryex Storage Set is made of non-porous glass that won’t warp, stain or absorb odors. Every single piece of this set comes with a seal-tight plastic lids for secure food storage. Making sure no liquids, or foods will escape.

This makes it possible to take your Pyrex Storage Set on the road with you to wherever; picnics, family reunions, weddings, and family road trips.

Are you beginning to understand why i got rid of the old, and brought in the new?

The Pyrex Storage 10-Piece Set is oven, microwave, refrigerator, freezer, and dishwasher safe. You can feel as comfortable as i do, no matter where you store this set.

It’s not going to be dissolve away like the plastic Tupperware you’re used to.

Now, because it is a type of plastic i was a bit weary at first about dropping it and having it shatter all over my floor. The type of glass that is used, is almost indestructible. I’m almost positive i could run it over with my car, pick it up and use it.

You will never feel more confident in your food storage again

Right now you can get this whole 10 peice set for only $18.95 on amazon.com.

The Pyrex Storage Set comes with a 2 year warranty, in case something unexpected does happen.

But believe me, you’re not going to have to worry about a warranty.

InStyle (1-year) [MAGAZINE SUBSCRIPTION] Review

For the daughters

My daughter is currently in the transition from tweens to teen and I don’t like to control the kind of media she listens to, reads, or watches. I do, however, like to help her out in transitioning as easily as possible. I still remember how difficult the transition was when i was growing up.

She, as in my daughter has always been interested in magazines. I remember a few years ago purchasing her a subscription to Tiger beat, teen beat and she absolutely loved it.

As she grows up though she becomes less interested in these forms of media, which is completely understandable. She mentioned to me that she wanted to get a different kind of magazine subscription, but i was weary of what was acceptable for girl’s her age.

A friend of mine who was facing a similar dilemma recommended the magazine “InStyle”. He said his daughter had been reading it for years and it was one of her favorite magazines.

InStyle (1-year) [MAGAZINE SUBSCRIPTION]

He told me that for transitioning it was perfect because it introduces fashion, and popular products in the marketplace today. This recommendation sounded perfect for what i was looking for.

When i sat her down to talk about Instyle, she said she was already familiar with but she had never actually taken the time to read through it. As a father we’re always looking for ways to gain our childrens approval, not to mention be a part of their lives.

I decided to research it further because i don’t like jumping into things blind. I found that the best place to order the 1 year subscription was amazon.com

It was very affordable as well, at only $23.88 for a years subscription.

I placed the order on amazon and the next step was waiting for the first one to show up at my doorstep. The wait was pretty long, it took 7 weeks from time of purchase to receive the latest copy of Instyle. I was familiar with this process though from previous subscriptions i had placed in the past. So it didn’t bother me very much.

When it the first issue of Instyle showed up i flipped through the pages to see what it had to offer my daughter. I was still a bit paranoid.

Oddly enough, i found it very useful. I recommended a Neutrogena concealer advertised in the magazine, that she later purchased.

It actually worked!

She ended up being very grateful, and i felt good, knowing that i was doing the little bit i could to help her into adulthood.

I know that she is going to grow up to be an educated woman, but because of Instyle i know that she will be fashion friendly as well.

I sleep well at night knowing that my daughter reads Instyle, and I took the chance on giving her the only information i know about the female transition.

One that is written by another female.

Columbia Cougar Flats II 8 Person 2 Room Family Cabin Dome Tent Review

Columbia Cougar Flats II 15-Foot by 10-Foot 8 Person 2 Room Family Cabin Dome Tent Review

House for sale

Summer’s approaching at an alarming rate, i hope you’re all ready for it. Ready for cooking out, swimming in an outdoor pool, playing badminton, and one of the best summer activities camping.

Camping, is one of the most relaxing, and family oriented summer activities out there. Camping is not only a way of life like it used to be, but a great hobby.

If you have a big family or even a small family, and are like me and don’t own an R.V then you probably have a pop tent. Or even several. Depending on the size of your family.

The most important thing to bring while out camping is a reliable tent. This is your shelter, your home for the time you are away from your actual home. When we buy our houses we buy the best possible house within our means, so shouldn’t well do the same when it comes to purchasing a tent?

Columbia Cougar Flats II 15-Foot by 10-Foot 8

The Columbia Cougar Flats II 8 Person Tent is in the category of mansion when it comes to tents. It accommodates for just as the name suggests; 8 people.

The Columbia Cougar Flats Tent features an astronomical 2 room’s. Now don’t get confused as easy as it will be and assume one of those rooms is the bathroom. Your guests aren’t going to be happy with that decision, believe me.

The Cougar Flats II 8 Person Tent is spacious, and 8 adults can sleep in it comfortably.

You’re never going to want to leave!

The Columbia Cougar Flats Tent is top of line with it’s cyclone venting system; which increases air circulation throughout the entire tent. This is great for those really warm days because it helps cool down the entire tent environment. Better then that though is how the cyclone venting system helps keep it dry after a nasty rainstorm.

Built in air-conditioning!

The Cougar Flats Tent features something i personally find exceptional. The Gobe dry system ensures that if you accouter a nasty rainstorm it’s all going to stay outside of the tent. None of that nasty water, is going to seep in and ruin your day.

No need for flood insurance!

The Cougar also has a ton of internal pockets for safe storage of your items, pockets made for harsh weather conditions. The tent also has cup holders that are suitable for coffee, or any other kind of beverage.

This is probably the cheapest house on the market, and you don’t even need a real estate agent.

You can actually get this 2 bedroom home for only $279.99 on amazon.com

Watch out when the people that own R.V’s walk over to your tent and ask if they can hang out.

The R.V just isn’t cutting it.

Managers High Back Luxury Fabric Chair with High Headrest Pillow Review

Office Space

As someone that sits at a computer desk all day there is one thing that is necessary to keep consistently working. I need an ergonomic, comfortable, and relaxing office chair with lumbar support.

The Managers High Back Luxury manufactured by Chair Barn, is the chair i recently purchased.

It has all of the above!

Managers High Back Luxury Fabric Chair with High Headrest Pillow

The first key item i want to mention about the Managers High Back Luxury Chair is its high headrest pillow, which couldn’t be more comfortable. It’s not overly comfortable to get you tired, it’s in between to keep your head elevated at an ergonomic work position. The pillow reduces head and neck strain, so no need for expensive massages.

Still very comfortable though.

The Managers High Back Luxury has more luxuries then any other chair that I’ve ever sat in. Its pneumatic gas lift allows for being able to change how you sit through your work day. This is great, because sometimes I’ll feel to elevated, or to low to the ground. I’ll have the freedom to change it and keep it where i want.

The built in lumbar support is my favorite aspect of the Managers High Back Luxury Fabric Chair, it is so well developed i could literally sit it in it all day without any complaints.

The arms of the Managers Luxury Chair are ergonomically padded for continued support. I rest my arms on it when i need to take a break, and it’s the best feeling in the world.

The reclining rocking tilt mechanism with upright locking control is great to. I like to be able to flex and move around while working sometimes, and have the freedom to not feel trapped. This mechanism allows for that.

There are a lot of office chairs out there, i mean A LOT.

I’ve tried out a lot of them, but I’m really very happy with the Managers High Back Luxury Fabric Chair. It offers comfort for all day sitting, as well as being ergonomic. This is important to me because i don’t want long term damage from sitting at a computer all day, i assume most of you don’t either.

This chair was very affordable for how amazing it is, on amazon.com you can get one shipped to you for only $159.99.

Trust me , if you also sit at a computer all day get the best chair out there.

Get the Managers High Back Luxury Fabric Chair.

Genuine Issue Magnesium Survival Fire Starter Review

Rubbing 2 sticks together

Allow me to paint you a story.

Imagine that you are out with a group of individuals, some that you know, others you don’t. Running through the woods, up a man-made trail. Your destination is a cavern, in the west indies. You’re unfamiliar with the territory but this is a trip that you’ve been planning for a very long time.

Your heart begins to beat faster, as you approach a clearing. Birds flutter away, and you can hear insects discussing politics. The sun has never shined brighter. The smile on your face could be seen from a satellite high above. Everyone’s yelling, and cheering because you’re all almost there. It’s been a long trip, but with your eye on the prize you’re going to make it.

You stop to catch your breath, looking down for a second to grab a canteen of fresh water from your pack. You quickly gulp it down, the cold water running down your throat. Refreshing you for what’s about to come.

Little do you know that the group of individuals that you were with were no longer there. There were just footprints, that you could see were in a rush. You don’t understand how this could happen, you were only looking away for 30 seconds at the most.

How could this happen?

Without thinking you decided to just keep on the trail, unfortunately it forked to the left and right. The left side going up a series of rocks, and into the mountains. The right side, descending down deeper into a lush forest.

You choose to go up the mountains, feeling that if you’re going to visit a cavern they’re more then likely going to be in the mountains. You stay at a constant jog, to conserve energy but you see no one. The trail gets rougher, and rain starts to fall. This is not good. You reach the top of a plateau and you take your sight to look down to see if you can see any signs of your group.

There are none.

Rain is falling harder, and you are soaking wet. You quickly realize that you need to get a fire started. There are no, matches in your pack, and you left your lighter back at base camp.

Luckily attached to your key chain is your Genuine Issue Magnesium Survival Fire Starter.

Genuine Issue Magnesium Survival Fire Starter

Finally some luck.

You reach for it, and even though it’s soaking wet you still start a fire in a little cavern with ease. The smoke rises into the air, and a passing plane see’s it and thinks it’s an S.O.S.

They pick you up and take you back to your camp.

Amazon.com can save your life for only $7.95

Bring this everywhere you go, because you never know the outcome of your actions.

Better to be safe then sorry.

PC Table Tabletote Review

Set it up anywhere

My job requires me to travel a lot. My second home is the airport, i honestly feel like i owe them a rent check. I have spent more hours in the airport then probably anywhere else this year.

Due to this situation i spend a lot of time on my laptop. Browsing websites, writing reviews, doing business before i travel. The most annoying thing to me is having to put my laptop on my lap. I know the name, indicates that it should be on your lap but it’s not comfortable, safe or ergonomically correct.

While sitting in the airport waiting on a layover i was checking out amazon.com. Just looking at random stuff that they were offering, no big deal. Nothing exciting, but as i was doing this my lap was starting to get warm, and my back was hurting from having to lean in to type accurately.

I couldn’t take it anymore, so i thought hard about a possible solution. I checked amazon.com’s furniture and décor section.

I actually found something worth looking more into!

Tabletote

The PC Table Tabletote.

It was absolutely perfect for my situation.

Reading the reviews before actually deciding to buy it helped with my decision a lot. It seemed that a lot of traveling business people all over the world were experiencing the same problems as me. Living in the airport, and getting fed up with back problems, and warm legs.

The Tabletote was genius, and i couldn’t believe that i had never heard of it before.

Looking more into it i found that it was only 3 lbs, and had the ability to extend up to 29 inches tall. I wouldn’t need anything more then 2 feet for what i was doing.

Collapsed Tabletote

What amazed me even more is that it was fully collapsible. Making it portable, and able to be used anywhere. It could fit into a small bag, or briefcase so easily. The weight allowed it to be carried with no problems.

You could pop this thing out in a matter of second, have it set up, have an ergonomic workspace for your laptop, and put it back in your bag as fast as you took it out.

Incredible!

Tabletote in Bag

If you’re not happy with the Tabletote you can return it within 30 days for a full refund.

However, i seriously doubt that anyone is going to be unhappy with this product. It has completely changed my life, i use it in airports, hotel rooms and my own home.

I bought mine on amazon.com for only $39.99, and i take it everywhere.

BlackBerry Storm 9530 Phone, Black Review

BlackBerry Storm 9530 Phone, Black Review

There’s a storm brewing

Every phone, or gadget this day and age is becoming touch screen. The touch screen technology is so sophisticated and widely used now. This trend began when Apple released the Iphone. Sure there were other devices that were touch screen, but no body started paying attention to the technology until apple’s Iphone.

There are a huge variety of phone’s to choose from with touch screen technology now. One of my favorite phone companies is Blackberry, BlackBerry phones are reliable and use the same frequency that government officials use. So if the United States is shaken to it’s core, the only phone’s that will work are Blackberry’s.

BlackBerry recently released it’s first Touch screen phone. The BlackBerry Storm 9530 is one of the most highly credited phones on the market today.

It took BlackBerry a very long time to get the technology perfect before they agreed to release it onto the market. Many prototypes were made in the factory.

Now it’s seen the light of day!

BlackBerry Storm 9530 Phone, Black

The BlackBerry storm came out with force, people lined up around stores to get the first one. There’s no reason why to me after actually playing with one.

This phone has everything you would need a smart phone.

Forget the Iphone, the BlackBerry Storm 9530 is by far more advanced.

BlackBerry is a name that is typically associated with business. Most every big executive carries a BlackBerry around the office, and home.

The BlackBerry Storm features the world’s first clickable touchscreen keyboard. This is great for single touch, and multi-touch application navigation.

If you’re traveling around a lot you definitely want to consider getting the Blackberry Storm because of it’s reliable global connectivity with it’s high speed 3G CDMA.

The BlackBerry Storm 9530 is compatible V cast music with rhapsody services. You are free to stream video and music at the highest quality. Unlike any other phone I’ve experienced.

The BlackBerry Storm has an incredible battery life, you can talk for over 6 hours straight and still have battery.

Communications are what makes the BlackBerry Storm so great. There are 10 different personal or email accounts available. All of the major instant messengers are included.

There is an amazing camera, and camcorder attachment on the BlackBerry Storm. Truly a see for yourself device.

The Blackberry Storm box includes a handset, removable battery, charger, USB cable, 8 GB MicroSd card and user manual.

Pick up the best touch screen phone in the galaxy for $99.99 with a new contract on amazon.com

Delphi SA10315-11B1 XpressRC Plug and Play XM Satellite Radio Review

Delphi SA10315-11B1 XpressRC Plug and Play XM Satellite Radio with Color Display Review

Galileo

It all began a long time ago with an astronomer. His name was Galileo. He dedicated his entire life to studying the night sky, discovering planets, stars, and consolations.

Good thing!

Without him we wouldn’t have satellites, and without satellites we wouldn’t have this next gadget i want to unveil.

Delphi SA10315-11B1 XpressRC Plug and Play XM Satellite Radio

The Delphi XpressRC Plug and Play XM Satellite Radio is one of the most advanced and highest reviewed satellite radio’s on the market right now. This specific radio has more features, and more detail than any of it’s competitors.

It’s no wonder why it’s a 4 out of 5 star product on amazon.com

One of the best things about having a satellite radio subscription is having the ability to choose from hundreds of different types of programming, and most of them are commercial free. Even better then that is the stations you’re listening to won’t fade like commercial radio when you travel to different regions.

The Delphi XpressRC Plug and Play XM Satellite Radio offers more features then any standard radio to enhance your listening and operational pleasures.

The most obvious new improvement is it’s new color screen which makes tuning in a more enjoyable experience.

The Delphi XpressRC is ahead of it’s time as the industry’s first plug-and-play satellite with a full color-split screen display and 60 minute pause and replay. This will simply allow you to channel surf then, if you want to hear something you heard earlier go back and rewind it. You can also save 10 of your favorite songs to your radio, so you can listen to them at your convenience later.

The display is a lot easier to read, you can now view content you want when you want.

The Plug and Play features is really nice, because you can remove the unit from your car, and then plug it in later without having to set anything up. This is not very known in other Satellite Radios on the market.

The Delphi XpressRC Plug and Play XM Satellite Radio is one of the best radios out there right now. If you’re shopping around for a great, almost perfect Satellite Radio i fully recommend this unit.

The only complaint that i can honestly say about it is the size of the buttons. It sometimes gets difficult to drive and utilize the radio.

I recommend getting yours off amazon.com like i got mine, it’s only $110.00

Well worth the money

If you’re bold enough, you’ll soon find out.
