Review for Northbooks Ruled 5x8 Notebook

7/28/2015

0 Comments

Getting a thin notebook to quickly jot thoughts in is the best. I have notebooks for EVERYTHING. I like to theme them and it's so relaxing to work in them. 
I love this one by Northbrooks because it is a really good size and it is so lightweight. Quality is very good to the pages and it holds up nicely to marker, heavy glueing (I glued GOT themed fabric in it and it held), and all sorts of fun crafting. 
Thinking about getting one? Go ahead! They're fabulous!

Culinary teas makes some delicious blends. I was able to sample their Good Mood tea recently for this review. It was very tasty, first of all. The full, bright taste of the tea was uplifting to me. I had been having a rough emotional time and my mom always used to ask me if I wanted a cup of tea, so I remembered I needed to review this and brewed up a cup for myself. It helped me regroup and refresh. A warm cup of tea in a unique blend was exactly what I needed! I absolutely recommend this loose leaf tea to any aficionado!

Review for US Art Supply 36" Black Steel "Easy-Folding Easel"

There is little to say about this display easel other than it really is  crazy easy! If you need to display art on a sort of impromptu basis, this easel is perfect. I absolutely love it. In less than a minute I had it unboxed, set up, and holding an old painting of mine. 
It also folded back up without any problems for me in about two minutes. Flawless. It folds up like my portable cane, so if you've been around one of those you will know how easy this easel is. Despite all that ease, it's not awkward or flimsy. This gets all the starts from me.

Review for US Art Supply 12ml Acrylic Tube Artist Paint Set

I've been into art for most of my life, so trying this set out was just another new adventure. Acrylics were my first love when it comes to mediums and these held up to my standards. Overall, I'm happy with their performance but I know other artists need details so here are the pros and cons I observed:
Pros-
Beautiful pigments that mix nicely.
The set has all of the colors you need to create an expansive pallet while working.
The texture was as expected for a high quality acrylic set.
Cons-
They smell a bit strong.
Despite "US" being in the name, they are made in China. That isn't a problem for me personally, but I know it might be for others so I am including it.

I did some artwork (to the right) with these paints and was really pleased with the turnout. I was painting an original character I came up with who happens to have vitiligo and also happens to be a super-heroine. I was able to bring her to life with these paints!

Review for Backpack in a Pocket

This is an awesome daypack. I was pleasantly surprised by how much it fits. I had a binder, meds, snacks, etc. all packed up in it with room to spare at one point. It can be very small all zipped up when you need to store it. I also appreciate that it is lightweight and leaves me the option of not  weighing myself down especially since I had a recent back injury that restricted how much weight I could carry. It's a great purchase decision, in my opinion.

Review for FSL Xylem Wooden Earphones

I have so many earphones at home that have something wrong with them. Either they have too much ear discomfort, they break easily, or the sound quality is low. I'm always buying more because they never hold up. I actually thought that was the norm for earphones prior to trying these out. Now I'm realizing that there are great sets like these!
The look of the wood is very pretty and classic looking. The sound quality is probably the best I've ever heard in earphones. It is on par with the quality of my very expensive full headphones. I also am very pleased that they're more well made and durable than most brands.
The microphone works well. I rarely use it, but I like knowing that I can and that everything is nice and clear if I need it.
Overall, these are a really great choice for people who want great sound.
