Moscow Mule Copper Mugs and Straws, Gift Set, 100% Pure Copper Cups, Free Ice Ball Maker- Limited 2 Weeks Edition



 
If you love copper or you love the look of hammered metals like I do, you are going to love these mugs. They are 100% REAL COPPER. They are hammered to give that contemporary feel and have a nice smooth contemporary handle on them.
These are the larger mugs then the ones you will find around. These hold 16 oz of liquid in them and are sealed so you wont get any rust or leaks.
 
I do recommend hand washing them as drying them as I did. With any copper, you don't want to let it drip dry or air dry. You want to hand wash with mild soap and water and towel dry immediately.
When using these cups versus other cups I have in my home I noticed how much colder it kept my drinks. This is because the cup is 100% pure copper.  The imitation copper mugs you can find wont hold the temperature in them like these will. You know when purchasing these that you are getting the real deal. These mugs also come with PURE copper straws. Wow do they get cold fast with a cold drink in them.
 
 A huge PRO I want to point out in this review is the smoothness of the edges of the straws. So many times you will get copper or stainless steel straws and they will have a rough edge where they were cut from the factory. These have been cut and smoothed down to guarantee your enjoyment when using them. The packaging of these mugs is perfect! They come wrapped very well in tissue paper, covered in a plastic bag and then braced with cardboard inside a VERY sturdy cardboard box. I could almost guarantee that you wont have any damage during shipping when these arrive on your doorstep.
 
The only CON I have with this product, is the change in color of copper for the handle. It makes the handle look slightly out of place on the mug. Keep in mind though, that this is my personal opinion and taste and beauty is in the eye of the beholder. The color change of the handle has nothing to do with the quality of the mug. The mugs come with a free E book which I did not receive but when I contacted the seller, It was sent over ASAP!!! So not only are the mugs great quality, so is the customer service, and that's not something you find much anymore. I can defiantly say, when buying this item, you can buy with confidence that you are getting a good product.
 
I gave this item a full 5 stars!

Ugee UG1910 19 Inches Digital Pen Display Drawing Monitor with 2 Original Rechargeable Pens, 2 Charging Lines,1 Drawing Glove and 1 Screen Protector

What a great monitor to have!

We connected this monitor to our laptop as soon as it arrived.

 It as very well packed for shipment insuring that it would not be damaged upon arrival. It came in a hard, sturdy cardboard box with a lot of padding and the monitor itself arrived with a protective plastic cover on it to keep it from being scratched.
Along with the monitor, we received the display drawing pens (two of them), 2 different charging lines, a drawing glove (to keep your hand off the screen when writing on it) and a screen protector which is very essential to using the monitor.

The monitor itself is a 19" LED display with 1440x900 resolution. In my honest opinion, I think the resolution of the screen could be a bit better and this is what was holding me back from giving it a full 5 stars. With the low resolution, you can see what appears to be the screen "moving". I think when updating the monitor, I would suggest getting a higher resolution.


The system drivers are some what limited when using multiple screens with the touch monitor.
The two pens which are included with the package are great! They work very well and can even sense being on the monitor when it is near and not touching the monitor.

 The two pens are completely rechargeable which is great because you are not contently replacing batteries. Please note that on this touch screen, you MUST use the pens when writing on the monitor.

There are several programs you can use with this monitor and computer so that isn't limited at all.
Overall, its a good product, and has the potential to be a great one! I would recommend this to others looking for a drawing monitor.

Creative Minds Need Creative Expressions

It is a fact that many with Anxiety come from a creative background.
 We contain certain traits that you will have a hard time finding in those who do not possess natural creativity.
Creative people tend to see the world differently through their eyes. We all see mostly the same things, but it is the way that creative people interpret them, in their minds, that is so fascinating.
They tend to see things as more complex, more possibilities, more unanswered questions.
Creative people tend to be inspired more often, and at unexpected moments. This is also due to the way they see the world.

Creative minds get bored easily. A lot of creative minds can easily be associated with ADD or ADHD (Attention Deficit Disorder/Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder).
ADHD stands for attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, a condition with symptoms such as inattentiveness, impulsivity, and hyperactivity. The symptoms differ from person to person. ADHD was formerly called ADD, or attention deficit disorder. Both children and adults can have ADHD, but the symptoms always begin in childhood. Adults with ADHD may have trouble managing time, being organized, setting goals, and holding down a job.

There article, http://www.inc.com/jessica-stillman/the-7-characteristics-of-highly-creative-people.html, explains some of the traits of naturally creative people. It also explains how some of these qualities are effected in the workforce.

Here are the Seven Personality Traits of Creative People sourced from the article lined above.

Associative orientation: Imaginative, playful, have a wealth of ideas, ability to be committed, sliding transitions between fact and fiction.
Need for originality: Resists rules and conventions. Have a rebellious attitude because of a need to do things no one else does.
Motivation: Have a need to perform, goal oriented, innovative attitude, stamina to tackle difficult issues.

Creativity is all what you make of it. It just comes naturally to some, more then others.

PandaHall Elite 6x1mm Close but Unsoldered Oval Brass Jump Rings Rose Gold about 50g

You really cant go wrong with purchasing these jump rings for your jewelry making. If you are looking for something HIGH QUALITY to make your artisan handmade jewelry stand out, this is a must have in your findings and supply drawer.

These rose gold jump rings are 6x1MM in size and SUPER STRONG. They are closed jump rings but they are not soldered so you are still able to open then and apply them to jewelry or charms etc.

These are nice, thick, strong jump rings. I have used them to attach charms, add extenders to necklaces and much more. They DO NOT BUDGE once you have them in place.
 
These are NOT like the flimsy jump rings you can buy at your craft store down the street.
I would also recommend these jump rings for people who make chainmail. It is a strong jump ring and perfect for those who are using them for that purpose.


I would highly recommend this product to any fellow jewelry maker or crafter. It is a must have!
I gave this product a full FIVE STARS.

SONGMICS Black 12 Leather Mens Watch Box Glass Top Watch Display Case Organizer UJWB12B

 
Wow! These is one nice watch box. It is made of high quality materials and is truly a nice find!

This 12 slot watch display case is very nice, and super sturdy. It comes with a clear top (a nice glass top) which is great so you can see though the top of the box to choose which watch you would like to wear that day.
 
Each of the 12 slots has a removable velvet pillow which you will put the watch on to keep the shape of the watch in good condition and keep any leather watch band in the right shape.

You could easily remove the pillows in each slot and use the slots for something different such as a necklace or a pair of cufflinks.

Please note that while the description says men's watch box, it would be perfect for any gender. A nice gift for a man or a woman.

If you are looking for a hard to shop for person for the holidays, this would be at the top of my list!
I gave this product a full FIVE STARS.

Several of these reviews will be part of this blog.

I hope some of my reviews will help you to find new products, and high quality products!
 

Hello, My name is Andrea, and I have Anxiety

Welcome again.
I have had anxiety since as long as I can remember. Its biggest impact on me was in 2015 when I was actually medically diagnosed with it.
You will learn more of my journey as the blog goes along.
I am very open about my Anxiety and think its best to be shared with others who are having similar experiences.
Everyone needs to know, you are NOT alone.
And any mental illness is NOTHING TO BE SHAMED OF.
