SIMPLUX Dripping Free-Flowing 3D Fireless Flame LED Pillar Candle

Published by

I have a thing for candles. The whole idea of lighting the house with candle intrigues me. Few years back, every evening,  I would light up my house with scented candles that would create a beautiful ambience with the divine fragrance all over the place..Perfect for us love birds to romance!…lol. But, sadly this has become a dream now. With a toddler running around the house 24×7, I cannot even think of lightning up a candle. I do have few LED candles that I light up, just to make me happy, but those candles are no where near the real once, which is off putting for me. When I stumbled upon Simplux Dripping Free-Flowing 3D Fireless Flame LED Pillar Candle, I was attracted to the bright red color, upon reading the product description and realizing that its made up real wax, I just couldn’t stop myself from buying it. The pillar candle around in a simple plain white box, with remote control. There was nothing attractive about the packaging, just simple, but good enough to …

Winters in Saskatchewan are very harsh. The temperature goes down as low as -45 degrees and in this dreadful tempertature, car engine fails to start and needs a boost. Everyday is the same story throughout winters, and this whole daunting experience scares a hell out of me. A real saviour in such situations is a good and powerful enough jumpstarter that would bring the battery back to life. BESTEK 600A Peak Current Portable Car Jump Starter is one such product!

9.7 Inch Oak-Technology Android Tablet – A budget friendly alternative

Published by

My 3 years old daughter is tech-freak. She watches videos, plays educational games and what not on iPad! Recently, my iPad slipped off her hands and the screen cracked. Thanks to God, the crack is superficial and the iPad is still fully functioning. This incident prompted me to look for alternative tablet that is not costly, yet can effectively replace the need of iPad for her and tolerate the abuse well. I was hunting for something with similar features to iPad. Obviously, I did not expect a lower end tablet to offer lot of memory, or great screen resolution, but at least a flexibility of adding more memory and the option to download apps or ebooks as per the need was something that I could not compromise.  Right at the time, I got an offer to review 9.7 Inch  Android Tablet by Oak-Technology. What more could I have asked for! I was really excited to test and review the tablet to see if it had everything I was looking for, apart from being budget friendly, which obviously it is! …

Every since I moved to Canada, I have realized the importance of family and relationship! It is heart breaking to be staying away from your loved ones. The only thing that gives you some relief is travelling to India and seeing them once in a while. Sadly, it cannot happen whenever I wish to! Travelling needs a lot of planning, from applying for leave, booking tickets, shopping for gifts and above all PACKING! The worst part of travelling is PACKING luggage and distributing the load evenly in all the suitcases to ensure that you don’t have to pay over-weight fees. Last year, when I travelled to India, I had to pay over-weight fee just because my baggage weighed around 700 gms more than the weight limit. And, this happened just because my scale did not give me accurate weight reading. Oh, I felt like screaming! Recently, I was sent Esky Electronic Scale to test and review. I was really happy to get the opportunity as this was something I expected would made my trip to …

Recently, I enrolled for few courses in Special Education to upgrade my degree so that I become eligible to work as Learning Resource Teacher in any school. Now, I must say, getting back to University is not easy, especially if you have kid to take care of! Anyways, I have been trying to maintain a balance and make the best out of the opportunity. Everyday, I need to carefully plan and organize everything, from household work, to assignments, to taking care of my toddler to ensure that I do not lack in any of the area. The life of a student is not easy today. There is so much to focus on and learn in just one semester. Its almost like squeezing out the educational juice from the course and for that one needs to work harder. The very first day I attended university, I realized that I did not had a good quality messenger bag (I prefer messenger over backpack) to carry all the essentials, like MacBook, stationery, notebook etc. So I started looking for …

Published by

I love baking! It has a sort of therapeutic effect on me! Whenever I bake, I feel so chilled and relaxed, with all the tension and stress gone! Apart from baking, I am also into making chocolates and candies, which my daughter is fond of. Making chocolates and candies at home can be tricky due to the precision in temperature that needs to monitored at every step (especially during candy making). To ensure that I use candy thermometer, but sadly my candy thermometer broke last month. I have been on a hunt for new one every since, until recently I came across Etekcity Infrared Thermometer. I loved the plastic clamshell style packaging! It was so simple, yet keep the thermometer secured to ensure its safety. Upon opening the clamshell, I found the user manual and the thermometer gun (which obviously was visible through the packing). The 9V battery need to operate the thermometer was securely held inside the battery compartment. So, all I had to do was take off the plastic cover and insert the …

iTeacherBook iPhone App Review #iTeacherBook

Published by

Being a Teacher myself, I am fully aware of the struggles a teacher has to go through everyday to keep everything organized. Keeping all the information about your students, tracking their progress and academic development is not anything that can be easily handled. On top, catching up with the lesson plans, managing the daily schedules, planning activities for students, keeping track of assignments leaves you exhausted. I keep things organized and keep track of everything by maintaining a planner. Apart from the planner, I always have to keep my grading book and assignment book with me to keep upgrading the record, With so many planners, and notebooks to carry I always wished for something that would spare me of the weight of notebooks and was not so complicated to maintain. When iStudiez Team gave me the opportunity to review their new iTeacherbook App, designed specifically as a tool to be used by teachers to help them ease the burden and keep things organized, I was on cloud9. This app is available for download in Apple Store and can …
