Zoku stainless steel bottle keeps fluids at the right temperature
Water bottles. I’ve an affinity with them since I was a child. Plastic, glass, metal, hybrid, you name it, I’ve got it. In fact, the reason I have so many is because I have the tendency to lose them while young. Some were lost when I left them behind in a football field or volleyball…

Wonderboom: Small body, big sound
How many speakers does a person need? How about one more? With a couple of Google Home speakers in my home, I wasn’t really in need of another speaker but the Wonderboom changed my mind.

Feiyu SPG gimbal: Takes some practise
One of the biggest problems with taking video clips on smartphones is stability, especially when capturing clips while on the move.

2-minute facial
I’m not the kind of guy who goes for facials. And I’ve not had one in my life because I don’t feel that I need it. A week ago, my wife bought me an ageLOC LumiSpa system for our upcoming anniversary. I was tickled because I had wanted to get one for her instead —…
