Knowing how to jumpstart a dead battery is one of those life skills you may one day be really glad to have; after all, dead batteries leave millions of people stranded every single year. If you know how to breathe new life into a dead battery, you could truly be someone’s hero.

I see people around town going for evening strolls and jogs throughout the year, rain or a clear night. But you have no idea how many of these people wear dark clothing and no type of reflective gear or lights. Staying on the pathways is fine at night but not every street has a sidewalk/pathway and you have no choice but to use the road. And at some point, you also have to cross the road or cross the intersection. It’s a potential disaster waiting to happen but thankfully there is an affordable option like the Million Mile Light.

When it comes to power tools and cutting utensils such as kitchen knives and machetes, some people just don’t a good relationship with said items. I’ve cut my fingers countless times and it totally sucks. Even the most careful person has at some point cut their finger in the kitchen. For such moment when you let your guard down, the G&F CUTShield Classic Kitchen cut resistant gloves will be there to protect your fingers and hands.

With everything going “smart”, why not the doors of your home or garage as well? The Samsung SHS-2920 Digital Door Lock is a smart lock that looks absolutely sexy and sleek. The digital lock features a hybrid aluminum and plastic case which comes decked out in black and silver which should have no problem complementing any door regardless of the door color. The Samsung digital door lock is small and will easily mount on most doors even if you have no carpentry skills.

This product may look funny and seem silly but it’s not joke to pet owners who have to be cautious of predators that are looking for an easy meal. When I leave for work (4:30am), I see the occasional coyote running across the road in my neighborhood. There’s a good reason why coyotes hangout in suburban areas close to forests, lots of small dogs and cats around.  The CoyoteZapper works in conjunction with the CoyoteVest and is designed to protect your dog from coyotes as well as larger dogs that may pick on your little precious pet.  The main goal of the CoyoteZapper is to prevent a coyote from picking up your dog and running off with it.

If you happen to live in the ever expanding cities of America and Canada, you know very well how difficult it is to acquire a detached home with a little front and backyard where you can do some gardening. The prices are just staggering so the majority of us have no choice but to live in apartments, condos, and town homes with a tiny cubical sized yard or patio. Despite these challenges, a good number of people still enjoy what we can refer to as urban gardening. If you are interested in gardening despite space constraints then check out the Garden Tower 2.

I recently came back from Australia just as their summer season was coming to an end. I miss the great food, great views, and amazing coffee but there is one thing I didn’t miss. And you already know what that is…bug bites. Despite all the crazy things you hear about massive Australian insects, the only annoying encounter I had was with the bloody mosquitoes. One of the many mosquito bites was pretty bad and when I have a mosquito bite, I naturally want to squeeze the bump area. With the Bug Bite Thing, the device will apparently suck the poison right out.

Okay I’ve never personally had any issues with wind noise during my outdoor conversations on my cellphone but apparently it must be a thing for a company to come out with the Windblocker. Yep, the Windblocker is intended to reduce wind noise when in windy conditions. This is a cell phone attachment and it is supposed to go over the microphone portion of your phone letting you still speak and be clearly heard but cutting out the windy background noise.

I don’t mind doing the chores around the house and sweeping the floor is one of the easier ones for me. Of course I’d rather not have to clean the floor at all but that’s not realistic. I enjoy seeing the transformation as the dusty floor transitions into a dust-free floor where a baby can crawl around without having to worry about anything. My least favorite part of sweeping the floor of course is the final line of dust and dirt that is a complete pain to sweep into the dustpan. I usually end up hiding it under the dishwasher or refrigerator. The Eye-Vac Professional Touchless Stationary Vacuum makes that issue a thing of the past!
