Outback Men's Sun Protection Hat from Wallaroo Hat Company (review)

Summer may be gone but the need for sun protection when outdoors certainly isn’t. Especially for fair-skinned folks like my husband.

Despite the inevitable sun damage he’ll incur when out and about, my husband — who not only has fair skin but hails from a family with a history of skin cancer — eschews wearing sun screen of any sort. “Too greasy,” he complains. Which drives me batty.

James reviews the ChordBuddy Guitar Learning System

When I receive a product for review, I don’t typically run out and purchase a duplicate of the product before I’ve even written the review. In fact, I’ve never done that with an item I’m reviewing. Until ChordBuddy.

While Covid-19 and all that goes along with it has had unprecedented negative impact on much of 2020 so far — and seems likely to continue doing so — there are a few positive things to come from the mess and distress. One of those is renewed interest in family game night and board games in general.

That said, as stay-home orders and advice will likely (for good reason) continue for some time to come, the stack of games our grandkids turn to for entertainment are in dire need of refreshing. Goliath Games and Pressman Toy come to the rescue with five new options, all sent to me free for review and to share my thoughts with you.

By the time you get to be a grandma, you’ve put a heckuva lot of miles on your feet. Most of us hope to have many more miles to go, though, and we want that mileage to be racked up in comfort. And style, too.

Which is why Therafit Shoes are perfect for grandmothers. They’re built for comfort yet are fabulously fashionable. I recently received a pair of Therafit Shoes for review and can fully attest to both claims.

Read my review … and don’t miss the 15% discount code!
