I have had neck surgery and lower back surgery, so I have lots of pain after 12 hours on the floor at the hospital. I sleep most nights on a heat pad to get some relief. I purchased the Gideon Shiatsu Deep Kneading Massage Pillow with Eight Rollers and Heat / Massage to see if it would give me some relief.
I am giving this product four stars because the roller balls are very hard, and the heat just doesn't get very warm. I probably should give it 3 stars. The massage does feel good, once you find the right spot to put it in. I have to put a pillow behind my back, and then the massager. Otherwise, it just doesn't seem to massage where I want it to. The unit is big, and kind of bulky, but I knew that before ordering it. I wish that the heat could be adjusted and maybe the depth of the massage, also.
As for massaging my neck, I snuggle the massager into my pillow, then lay a towel across it, so that it is not as hard on my neck. I do get a good massage this way. Maybe if the front had more cushioning to it, it would be better.
I do like the way that the massager changes directions every few minutes. I feel like I get a better massage this way. It will turn itself off after 15 minutes, so if I go to sleep on it, I don't have to worry about it.

beegod Mini Diamond Bluetooth Wireless Stereo Speaker with Mic For Phone and AUX Line In (Red)
https://www.amazon.com/beegod-Diamond-Bluetooth-Wireless-Speaker/dp/B01MYQDB38/ref=cm_cr-mr-title
I have purchased several hands-free speakers in the past, but they all seem to have disappeared when the grown kids come around!
When I saw the beegod Mini Diamond Bluetooth Wireless Stereo Speaker with Mic For Phone, I loved the design and the size, so I purchased it for me. Maybe I bought the gorgeous red because I think this is a color the kids won't take!
The speaker arrived quickly and was packaged in a box that could easily be used to gift this speaker. Included were the speaker, USB charger, and instructions. I took it out of the box, plugged it in, and let it charge for a bit. Then I turned the Bluetooth on my phone on, turned the speaker on, and they paired in seconds.
The speaker controls are located on the bottom of the speaker, as is the pause/play button. To answer the phone while using the speaker, just push down the level in the center of the top of the speaker. But you need to also pick up the speaker, as the mic is on the bottom of the speaker.
Good quality sound, unless you have it blasting, then it's a little brassy. All in all, a great little portable speaker. I'm gonna hide my jewel when the kids come over!

ZizHome Universal Electric Outlet Cover - Self Closing Baby Proofing Kit - Tamper Proof Child Safety Wall Socket Plug
https://www.amazon.com/ZizHome-Universal-Electric-Outlet-Cover/dp/B01FX8836G/ref=cm_cr-mr-title
My daughter has a 5-month old son. He's not crawling yet, but it won't be long. Then we will be worried about him putting his fingers in places they don't belong. Plugs are always intriguing to small children. I purchased the ZizHome Universal Electric Self Closing Baby Proof, Tamper Proof Child Safety Wall Socket Plug covers so that she could cover the plugs in his room.
The covers were very easy to install,. only requiring a screwdriver. I removed the outlet covers by taking out the screw that held them in place, replaced them with these covers, put the screw back in, and the plug covers were in place. Maybe 5 minutes per plug to install.
To use the plug outlet, simply put the plug in the the outlet, slide it over a bit, and the plug will then enter the outlet. When you pull the plug out, the cover slides back over, blocking the outlet from little fingers.
These outlet covers came in a set of 2. I need to order several more sets, so that we can finish babyproofing the rest of the outlets in the house. I recommend them for anyone with small children that like to explore.

Bath Bombs (Set of 6) by Calily
https://www.amazon.com/Bath-Bombs-Set-Calily-Gluten-Free/dp/B01G45HX18/ref=cm_cr-mr-title
I love Calily essential oils, and have purchased them many times in the past. Unfortunately, I don't think the bath bombs live up to their oils. The Natural Bath Bombs by Calily have a very nice fragrance when I open the package, and I was expecting that same nice fragrance in the tub. I didn't get it. There is only a scant amount, if any, of fragrance after the bath bomb dissolves. The fizz is good. Do be warned that some of these bombs have bits of flowers in them, so you will see this floating in your tub. No big deal to me, just didn't expect it. I was looking forward to the nice, scented smell to still be on me, as well as a silky feeling from the oil, when I exited the tub. Didn't happen.
I think that I will take another bath bomb and open it, place it in a cute little bowl, and just let the fragrance make my bathroom smell really good, or maybe try a foot soak with one.

High Bounce Balance Bike
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00VETQ46A/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
I have not removed the high bounce balance bike from the box yet, as I plan to give it to my grandson for his birthday in February. Therefore, I am not able to actually review the product yet.
I will state that it arrived very quickly, packaged well.
I have read through the reviews, and there seems to be lots of pros and cons. When we open the box and assemble the bike, I will update my review. That review will be based on how easy the bike is to put together, and how easy it is for a 4-year old to operate.

Hoont Indoor Powerful Plug-in Spider and Bed Bug Pest Repeller with Night Light
Hoont Indoor Powerful Plug-in Spider and Bed Bug Pest Repeller with Night Light
I don't have bedbugs, so I can't tell you how the Hoont Indoor Powerful Plug-in Spider and Bed Bug Pest Repeller with Night Light works on them, but I do have spiders! I can't STAND spiders! The ones that we have are called Jumping, or Wolf spiders. Big, black, furry, nasty- looking things. And guess what?? They DO bite. I received a nasty bite on my arm, and had to be on antibiotics from it.
I purchased the Hoont spider and pest repeller to rid my home of spiders. I don't mind the tiny ones that hang around way up in the corners, and they don't seem to mind the repeller, but so far, I haven't seen another Wolf spider. I've only had the repeller for a week, so this may change, but I really hope not! If I start seeing spiders again, I will update my review, as it really is too early to give a good review.
I simply plugged it in, and it started working. It does make a nice little night light, also. I put it in the hall, outside my room, so it will keep the spiders out of my room, and I have a bit of light when I get up during the night to go to the restroom.

PestZilla Handheld Dog Repellent and Trainer + LED Flashlight / Ultrasonic Dog Deterrent and Bark Stopper + Dog Trainer Device
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01MDSA7J9/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
I have four Chihuahuas that like to run the fence with the neighbor's bigger dog. FIVE dogs barking can drive a person crazy. I yell at them all the time, but as soon as I go back in the house, it starts again. I end up having to bring my dogs in to get the noise to stop.
When I saw a chance to purchase the PestZilla handheld dog repellent and trainer, I figured I didn't have much to lose. The repeller arrived quickly, and was packaged well. I did have to put a 9-volt battery in it before I could use it. The flashlight is pretty bright on the repeller, but that's not what I bought it for anyways.
The first time I stepped out and used it, my dogs stopped and shook their heads, and looked around, trying to figure out what they were hearing. I could not hear the high-pitched pulse, but they could. Even the neighbor's dog stopped and looked at me. Went back in the house, and the barking started again! Stepped back out, pushed the button again, and they stopped and looked around again. It took me about four times to get my dogs to stop barking. Unfortunately, it didn't seem to work as well on the neighbor's dog, but that could be due to the fact that he is bigger, and wasn't as close to me.
The next day, I had the same problem when I first let my dogs out, so I stepped out the door, pushed the button, and they all ran from the fence. Had to do it twice.
After several days, I think they have figured out that I am going to make that nasty sound again if they start barking. Now, if I could just get close enough to be as effective on the neighbor's dog. He takes off to the far side of his yard as soon as I come out.
All in all, I am happy with the repeller's results.
