The tungsten squirrel cage vertical filaments are hand strung dimmable reproductions of the 1906 Thomas Edison light bulb. They give and amber yellow/orange glow that is very easy on the eyes. The glass looks hand blown with a smoky outer finish. When lit the glowing filament gives a unique characteristic to each light fixture. The light bulb fits into normal sockets. I do recommend placing it in fixtures without a shade so that you can enjoy this unique lighting.
Dimmable down to a 25 watt or up to 60 watt.

I have a few watches, but lately I have been getting into the leather
strap type. This is the Topaz Black Face, rose gold frame with a genuine
black leather strap. The watch firstly has the ability to tell time,
seconds, and date. The style fits my teaching attire clothing, and the
large face makes it easy to read. It says that it is water resistant,
but not water-proof - "WATER RESISTANT to 99 feet.(30M). Withstands rain
and splashes of water but not for showering or swimming". I will just
avoid water completely.
Overall it is a nice watch that can be dressed up with a suit, or down with some jeans and a black shirt.

Leisure time is stylish and comfortable in this exquisite robe by
Desak Nyoman Parwati. With wide sleeves, front-wrap styling and a belt,
it reaches to the ankles. Named Baliku, this batik pattern by means
"This is my Bali."
The hand-made NOVICA Women's batik robe in 'Blue Baliku' is absolutely
beautiful! The best way that I can describe the color is: a blue/
indigo, with browns, whites, and grays.
The best way that I can describe
the design is: an Aztec Paradise with the tribal like symbols. I see
suns, snowflakes, flowers, flowers on vines, and different forms of
white (spirit like). I especially like that the robe is painted by
hand using the sun and elements, meaning each one will be unique- almost as if it was made
specifically for me. The material is 100% rayon which makes it
lightweight but not see-through. The piece also came with a story card
from the artist, and a hand made gift bag. Made in Indonesia
I like the way that my husband looks at me when I'm in it.
Product Dimensions: 10.3 x 6.3 x 1.9 inches
100% Rayon
Best single words to describe it: Fresh, Simple, Elegant, BOHO, Tribal

This coloring book is the way to go if you want destress... yes it was even on the news- adult coloring books are the new thing! Coloring kind of takes us back to a time when worries were almost not existent, and creativity was allowed to flow freely. The Mood Enhancing Mandalas have a wide variety of geometric designs that allow you to really lose yourself, or for that matter find yourself for hours at a time. It is a nice quality coloring book that I would recommend. I suggest make a photo copy of each page and working off of the copy to preserve the book.

Smooth natural stone shows its sleek allure in a pyramid by Cesar
Gonzales. Sculpted of a beautiful combination of gemstones, the piece is
designed to attract the positive and repel negativity. Blue-green
chrysocolla, warm brown aragonite and white calcite crown the pyramid
while jasper is the central stone. Beneath, green serpentine, chalcedony
with leopard spots and black onyx complete the sculpture.
NOVICA,
in association with National Geographic, searches the world to work
directly with the finest artisan designers. Cesar Gonzales says, 'I like
stone's naturalness and purity of color.'
The physical appearance is beautiful, but the crystal meanings and meta-physical nature of the combined stones into one pyramid is mind opening..
The stone pyramid comes all the way from Peru, and is made by an artist named Cesar Gonzales. The stones used in the design are Chrysocolla, Aragonite, Calcite, Jasper, Serpentine, Chalcedony and Onyx. I believe that everything in this world resonates at a certain frequency, and that the same can be said about precious stones. The combined stones together not only look nice, but can be a powerful tool in prayer.
I use incense, candles, and psalms from the bible together when I pray. Before, I really didn't know what to believe. I started to really look at things differently when my personal situation had taken a turn for the worse. I began to study the bible and even relating and comparing with Magick and science books. I found that everything really connected. Specifically, when I was taking Physical Science in college- frequencies and energy. I started studying spiritual cleansing, and I was able to connect spiritual with scientific laws.
I now added this 7 stone pyramid rightfully named "Be positive" as a tool when I pray. There may be a better way to use it, but I just put my hands over it, as I focus my thoughts. If you could recommend a better way, please leave a comment below.
Dimensions: 2.8 x 2.8 x 3 inches

It all started about 10 years back, around the time I started dating my girlfriend, she made me take her for coffee. First it was Starbucks, then it was a local coffee shop named Jitters, followed by Moon Beans. I was never really a coffee drinker.
About 3 years back, I was well into couponing, and reward apps that scored me enough gift cards that allowed me sample several different types of coffees and teas at Starbucks and become a Gold Card holder.
About 1.5 years back, I heard about "Bullet Proof Coffee". There was lots of hype about it, but it was super expensive.. Then I saw a post by Refinery 29, talking about Death Wish Coffee and how it was the most caffeinated coffee in the world. I had been saving for the Bullet Proof coffee, but researching and comparing the "organic" Bullet Proof Coffee, I figured they were close enough in quality, reviews, Caffeine for my needs.
Making the coffee wasn't as simple as I thought it was going to be. I grew up watching my grandparents get a few spoons of coffee (Nescafe) put it on the stove, milk , sugar, and serve. I put a pot on the stove put coffee grounds into the water, and set the water to boil, and tried to strain out the grains.. lets just call that a failure. I purchased a $10 clearance single cup coffee maker a few months back- I said, "that will work". The coffee still tasted bad. Then when I thought all was lost, came the french press. I now own several french presses and for the most part they are all similar in design, and use. You have two choices in the french press world Glass or Stainless Steel. Glass is usually nicer to look at, less expensive, but much more fragile.
I am using the BYZOU French Press Coffee Maker 34 Ounce(Oz)/8 Cup(4 Mug). It seems to be similar to other presses that I have used in the past but a few slight differences. The heat resistant handle for one doesn't fully come back into the design like a "D" it comes outward to start the"D" but stays open. The plungers that I am used seeing are full metal meshes. This one has Silicone which is a 2015 design.. I have actually seen so many new silicone products come to market, and it is for good reason to- silicone works and is simple to clean. I like that I didn't have to clean grounds out of a mesh because of this new design concept. The stainless steel frame that is chromed out is a similar look that you will find in most french presses on the market, but I am glad its there- very 1950's. The other thing to look at is the lid. I thought it was also stainless steel, but it is a plastic material. The good thing about plastic is that it wont rust. I still would have rather had a stainless steel top.
Overall its a great press that is easy to use, and even comes with a plastic scoop. I do wish it also came with a wooden spoon- but I am just nit-picking now.
In case your wondering my method-
I usually put some water to boil.
Pour some of the hot water into the Press, and let set for 20-30secs to heat up the glass, then pour it out. Pour about a cup more hot water into the press, and add the desired amount of coffee grounds. Stir with a wooden spoon (never metal because you can break the glass) (let stand for 30seconds) Then pour the rest of the desired water quantity in the press. (let stand about 3.5 minutes more), then slowly press the plunger down with the sout facing away from you.
The longer the beans touch the heat I believe make it more bitter.
This is what works for me. If you have any recommendations or a better way to do it, please leave me a comment.

I now own two Boyon desk lamps, and for the most part I really like them. I think a 4.6 star rating on a 5.0 scale is fair. Lets go through the good and the needs improvement break down. The lamp is very light-weight, the base is sturdy, and the neck is flexible in all 360 degrees.
The neck will remain in any position you place it, and you can even hang from the neck when it is in a curved position. Yes, I hung it by the neck on a piece of wood while I was checking on the dogs outside. I was impressed. A long push will dim it/ brighten it, while a tap will turn it on or off. The little sphere button, will flash when it is taking charge, and turn off when the rechargeable battery is full.
Now, what needs it improvement? The charging port. I contacted the seller, who in turn said thankyou for the recommendation and that they would talk to the manufacture about charging the charging port. I suggested micro-usb. It is currently a small thin connector that sometimes comes loose on its own.. This is why I docked some points.
Overall it is a nice desklamp that would even be good for camping. LED is known for saving on electric- so yes it is my light source of choice. Dont ever look directly into the light.

The Inspired basics 100% Cylinder Moscow Mule Mug is a hand crafted work of art. The copper is hammered by hand in India. Although you may see another copper mug that may look similar, no two are exactly alike. The mug is great for just about any cold beverage, but perfect when paired with ice and a cold ginger beer. I love the delicate color of the copper and its reflective properties.
