Trekz Titanium Headphones Review & Giveaway

August 13, 2016 by Linda @ Linda's Lunacy

*This post contains affiliate links.

My family can go through headphones like you would not believe. Well, if you have kids, then you will believe it! They always some how manage to break the wires and rip the ear piece apart. And then, oh my!, I get “I didn’t hear you” all the time! I was happy to receive AfterShokz Trekz Titanium sport headphones. They do away with all my pet peeves about headphones. And they offer so much more!

AfterShokz

 

Trekz Titanium are wireless, open ear sport headphones that use bone conduction to transmit the audio waves  to the inner ears through the skull, bypassing the eardrums completely. These headphones are placed on your cheekbones, not in the ear canal. That means you can still hear what is going on around you, while you are listening to music, talking on your phone, etc.

Bone conduction is not something we hear about very often. This graphic shows the difference in how the sound waves are transmitted with bone conduction and air conduction.

The Trekz Titanium Bone Conduction Headphones come complete with User Guide,  Warranty Card,  Fitbands to adjust the head size, charging cord, ear plugs, and carrying bag. The ear plugs are for situations where it is safe for you to block out the ambient sound, such as on planes, trains, etc.

 

Trekz headphones

 

The Trekz Titanium headphones are study and well made. The headphones are flexible, so they are easy to put on. These open ear sport headphones were designed with the sports person in mind. Open ear headphones made to ensure safety, perfect for runners, cyclists, hikers and more They are lightweight and sweat resistant. Trekz headphones work via Bluetooth to connect to your cell phone or other devices. No wires to get in your way!

 

Trekz headphones

 

When I first tried them on, they felt a little weird. My family had the same first feelings. After we had them on for a couple of minutes though, we realized how comfortable they are! They fit different than any headphones you have ever tried! The band of the headphones goes behind your head, down towards the neck. Nothing goes in the ear canal. Rather the headphones sit in front of the ear on the cheekbone.

 

trekz headphones

 

The headphones transmit sound perfectly, with no distortion of any kind that I noticed. When I had them paired with my cell phone listening to music, phone calls would ring in the head phones. The headphones have a microphone so you can use them while talking on the phone. The Trekz headphones feature dual noise canceling microphones that exclude surrounding noise, effectively enhancing speech.

Charging the Trekz headphones is easy. Plug the headphones into your computer using the included cord. The headphones charge fully in 1 1/2 hours. A single charge will last for 6 hours of music and calls. You can also do a partial charge if you need the headphones quicker.

AfterShokz Trekz Titanium Headphones retail for $129.99, but right now, until 9/09/2016, select Trekz headphones are on sale for $99.99!

PerfectLinens Toastmaster Flannel Sheets Review & Giveaway

February 26, 2016 by Linda @ Linda's Lunacy

 

I recently received a set of PerfectLinens’ Toastmaster flannel sheets to review. PerfectLinens have 30 years experience supplying sheets to the biggest retailers. They don’t sell any other products. They specialize in sheets.

 

PerfectLinens test for the most comfortable sheets. Using instruments and analysis like Nike and NASA, they are unique with their novel emphasis on objective research.

 

Sheets change with usage so we retest after multiple launderings.  We evaluate how each sheet feels over it’s lifetime, saving money and eliminating shopper frustration.

 

sheets

 

The sheets come in the form of a cube, inside a zippered vinyl bag. That makes it convenient to store the sheets for the summer. Just place in the zippered bag to keep them fresh and dust free until you are ready for them again. The care instructions are on the paper insert, shown above. Easy to keep in the cube to refer to them year after year. The sheets would make a great gift, too!

 

 

sheets

 

The Toastmaster flannel sheets are so soft and warm. I love flannel sheets. I use them at least 3 seasons out of the year. I have been known to use them in the summer, too. That air conditioning can feel a little chilly sometimes! These Toastmaster flannel sheets are literally the softest I have ever used. It’s so warm and comforting to snuggle down into these sheets after a long, tiring day.

 

sheets

 

Toastmaster sheets are available in 14 different colors. I chose Chocolate. The color in my photographs isn’t true to what the color looks like in person. Here is a color sample from the PerfectLinens website. This color is true to what it looks like in person.

 

sheet color sample

 

As everyone knows, sheets change with use. PerfectLinens retests after multiple launderings.  They evaluate how each sheet feels over it’s lifetime, saving money and eliminating shopper frustration. Shoppers select from a curated selection of the most comfortable sheets.  No more searching through hundreds of sheets on multiple websites.

GrubMarket Review & Giveaway

February 5, 2016 by Linda @ Linda's Lunacy

I recently received a GrubMarket regular-size California Fruit Bounty box. It sure was convenient to have fresh, organic fruit delivered right to my door! I had fun unpacking the box. Pulling back the shredded paper to discover what fruit was inside.

 

GrubMarket

 

I received apples, oranges, a grapefruit, a pomegranate,  an avocado, a pineapple, and medjool dates. The fruit was well packed to protect it during shipment. I did email GrubMarket to ask what would happen if the fruit arrived damaged. He said that they would issue a refund for the damaged fruit. So that’s good to know!

 

GrubMarket

 

 

GrubMarket makes fresh and delicious food accessible to all people by keeping their prices consistently lower than all comparable grocers. GrubMarket believes that everyone should have the opportunity to eat well, & that price should never be a barrier between you and fresh, healthy, and delicious food.  They offer free delivery across the U.S. for all orders above $59.GrubMarket works with a variety of farms and artisan producers to bring you high quality foods and other items at prices that are up to 50% OFF what you’d typically find at Whole Foods and other grocers.

 

I placed all the beautiful fruit I received on a tray with a little of the shredded paper from the shipping box and used it as a dining room table centerpiece. I have found that my family eats more fruit if I leave it out in the open for all to see.  Sometimes I place fruit in a bowl. but this time I wanted to be sure we could all see the beautiful fruit. If they see it, they will eat it!

 

GrubMarket Centerpiece

 

My family loved everything in the box. After seeing the fruit, my teenage son announced, “I claim all the apples!” lol

Faith of Our Fathers DVD Review & Giveaway

November 5, 2015 by Linda @ Linda's Lunacy

 

 

Faith of Our Fathers tells the story of John Paul and Wayne, two young men in search of their fathers. There is one problem, though, their fathers have been dead for 25 years.  It also tells the story of Eddie and Steven, two young men in search of their sons, whom they’ve never met.

 

 

 Faith of Our Fathers

 

 

In 1969, Eddie and Steven are with their squad deep in the jungle of Vietnam on a five-day mission to retrieve fallen comrades.  They write letters to their wives, often mentioning their love for their sons, one, who is an infant and one yet to be born.

 

 

In 1994, John Paul and Wayne go on a five day road trip to the Vietnam Wall in Washington DC to see their fathers’ names.  Along the way, reading those letters, they begin to get an understanding of who their fathers were and how they died.

 

 

Trials and mishaps, both funny and sad, complicate the road trip for the boys.  The horrors of war and the testing of faith manifest themselves for the young men in Vietnam.  Ultimately, in parallel stories – 25 years apart – the fathers and sons are bound together forever. The writers do an amazing job of blending the father’s story into their son’s stories.

 

 

Faith of Our Fathers  stars Stephen Baldwin, Kevin Downes, David A.R. White, Rebecca St. James, Si Robertson, Candace Cameron Bure, Scott Whyte, and Sean McGowan. That is one star studded cast! They all portray their parts great, too. By far, the stand out in Faith of Our Fathers is David A.R. White. He does an awesome job with his character. I have seen many of David A.R. White’s movies. I won’t go as far as saying that I have seen them all. But I have watched his movies all the way back to his early movies that he made with the Christiano brothers. Faith of Our Fathers, from Pure Flix Entertainment, is my new favorite movie of his.

 

 

Faith of Our Fathers is a 96 minute drama that is rated PG-13. It has that rating because of war violence. I think this movie is suitable for the whole family. If you have young children that are bothered by explosions, and the sounds of gunfire, however, you may want to watch without them. Or be ready to distract them during those scenes.

 

Faith of Our Fathers

 

 

 

I watched this for the first time with my 15 year old son. We both loved it. He is already saying quotes from the movie. lol My husband and 29 year old son watched it tonight. They were laughing so hard I heard them in another room. I had to go in and rewatch parts of it. I didn’t want to miss out on any of the laughter. lol

 

There are several Special Features on the Faith of Our Fathers DVD:

  • The Heart of Faith of Our Fathers
  • Honoring Father’s Day
  • Commemorating Memorial Day
  • Si Robertson Interview
  • Stephen Baldwin Interview

Chops in the Crock Recipe & Fix It And Forget It Slow Cooker Magic Cookbook

October 21, 2015 by Linda @ Linda's Lunacy

*This post contains an affiliate link.

 

I love using my slow cooker! It’s perfect for cooking on hot summer days when the last thing you want to do is turn on the stove. A slow cooker is great for any day you are short on time. I love being able to put supper in my slow cooker, then spend the day homeschooling the kids, going on field trips, running errands, or visiting family & friends. It’s so nice to have supper waiting for you at the end of a long day!

 

Fix It And Forget It Slow Cooker Magic

 

In fact, I love my slow cooker so much I own three! The new Fix-It and Forget-It Slow Cooker Magic cookbook is a great addition to any kitchen. This new cookbook has 550 recipes perfect for every season and occasion, and feature more than just the usual soup, stews, and casseroles.  Highlights include Thai veggie curry, slow cooker pizza, black bean burritos, chile rellenos casserole, banana chocolate chip bars, cornbread, and expanded vegan offerings.

 

There are several full page color photos of some of the recipes.

Fix It And Forget It Slow Cooker Magic

The author, Phyllis Good, did not create all of the recipes; rather, recipes are submitted by and tested by a select group of home cooks known as “Team Fix-It” – real women cooking in Chicago, Kansas City, Washington, DC, Indianapolis, Louisville, Brooklyn, and across the country.

 

“Good cooks love to share their recipes rather than possess them,” Ms. Good says. “Readers feel surrounded by a community when they cook from Fix-It cookbooks. They take comfort in knowing that these recipes come from other people who are also working and feeding their families.” Ms. Good is propelled by the belief that slow cookers make it easy to cultivate quality time with loved ones

 

Fix It And Forget It Slow Cooker Magic

 

I have tried a few recipes from this cookbook so far, and have more on this weeks menu. Here are pictures of a couple that I tried. This first dish is Butter Chicken. It has a wide variety of spices and seasonings. I served it with rice and green beans.

 

Butter Chicken

 

This dish, Chops in the Crock, is my favorite recipe in the cookbook. So far! With tomatoes, green peppers, and onions, it’s very flavorful. I served it over rice, like the recipe says.
