Loot Crate is a monthly subscription box of geek and gamer gear.  The cost for a monthly subscription is $13.95 + $6 Shipping.

This month's theme is Out of Time.  I seriously love the fact that my box arrived on  October 21, 2015 when everybody was celebrating Back To The Future Day.  I received several Back to The Future items which is just too awesome!

Here are the items in the box:



The box contains a total of 6 items (monthly pin not in photo). All items are Loot Crate exclusives - that is why I would have to base the value of each item on how much it is being sold on Ebay.


In celebration of Back To The Future Day, Loot Crate came out with these goodies:


Back To The Future Hover Board 1.5 Scale Replica
Value: $15 on Ebay




 Dr. Emmett Brown Pop Vinyl Figure 
Value: $20 on Ebay 


Other Loot Crate exclusive items in the box includes:


 Dr. Who Sonic Spork
Value: $10 on Ebay 





Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure T-Shirt
Value: $13 on Ebay 

Here is a sneak peak of the monthly magazine:






The box can also be folded inside out - here is how it looks:

I love gulping down ounces and ounces of good old agua but I know that a lot of people find it too boring and end up not drinking the recommended amount of water needed for the day. Thank goodness that there is a way to give water a little bit of pop by infusing it with some yummy flavor without adding boatloads of calories.

Live Infinitely Infusion Water Bottle
So I guess, anything blended and pureed are out of fad already and fruit/herb infused water is the new thing.  I was given an opportunity to try and test Live Live Infusion Water Bottle.  What I noticed about this bottle is that unlike other models, this one has a unique bottom infuser basket.  Most bottles in the market has a top basket and when the water decreases, all the yummy flavors are just stuck hanging in the bottle.  With the bottom basket, the water and the fruits/herb will always be in contact with each other. Thus, more flavor and less waste. This bottle is also BPA free shatterproof and leak proof.




 



Here are some popular recipe ideas for fruit/herb infused water:
•  Watermelon
•  Cucumber
•  Lemon
•  Cantaloupe
•  Orange
•  Cherries
•  Lime
•  Grapefruit
•  Basil
•  Mint
•  Grapes
•  Blood orange
•  Rosemary
•  Lavender
•  Strawberries
•  Blackberries
•  Raspberries
•  Pineapple
•  Kiwi
•  Papaya
•  Honeydew melon
•  Fresh ginger root
•  Mango                                                                                                                                      
•  Watermelon and mint
•  Cucumber and mint
•  Lemon and mint
•  Cherry and lime
•  Watermelon and cucumber
•  Ginger and lemon
•  Orange and pineapple
•  Lemon and lavender
•  Lime and mint
•  Cucumber and lime
•  Lemon and basil

There are some things in life that we think we do not need, however; once we have it, we suddenly feel like this ‘thing’ is definitely a must have item!

I have a Four year old daughter who is in to coloring – we have tons of coloring materials including colored pencils. We use a cute regular sharpener to sharpen the pencils – it does the work and I have no complaints until one day when I sharpened the entire box of more than 50 pencils! Boy, my hands were tired and I ended up with a sore and blistered thumb. I then remembered my good –ole Elementary days when I was sharpening my million and one pencils at the Library’s electric sharpener. Snap! That’s what I need! I need an electric sharpener!

Electric Sharpener by Imikas




I am very fortunate to be given an opportunity to try and test an electric sharpener right at the moment when I was contemplating on buying one. This electric sharpener by Imikas is seriously one of the best that I have seen in the market. The design is pretty sleek and lightweight.  There are three sharpness settings for the graphite point - blunt, medium and sharp.  This is important if you are not comfortable handing very sharp pencils to kids. It also accepts multi power sources such as batteries, AC power and USB cord. The blade is made of stainless steel and it also has a power cut-off safety feature that prevents operation when the tray is removed.

I am very happy with this sharpener.  Very easy to use and very easy to clean too!



This electric sharpener is great gift idea for kids, students, artists and coloring book fanatics!

Imikas Electric Sharpener is available on Amazon for $26.99 and it offers free shipping for Prime members.

Do you know anyone who loves make up? Any make up addicts in the family? Then this Miss Landson Make-Up Remover is definitely the best gift to give!

I love make-up and I wear it every day. Primer, foundation, eyeliner, blush, bronzer, highlighter, eyebrow pomade, mascara and eye shadow are my usual everyday product. Now, at the end of the day, it is important for me to remove every single bit of make up on my face. Why? Because these products can block pores.  Also, sleeping with make-up on can cause pimples and eye infection.

I am not going to say that taking off make up is a struggle – it is pretty easy if you use the right product. Right now, I am using an oil based make up remover which works very well in removing eye make-up. Sometimes, I use those make-up remover towelletes when I am traveling and on-the-go.








I really thought that the oil cleanser is good enough to do the job and that is until I was given an opportunity to try and test Miss Landson Make-Up Remover Towel.  This pink, fluffy and uber soft facial towel is simply the best way to remove make-up. Why? Because it only uses water as the dissolving agent.  I was pretty amazed when I first used it. Everything – including my stubborn mascara and eyeliner – was removed. No sting, no raw-skin feeling right after using it.





The towel is 100% made of soft microfiber material and it can be used up to 1000 times. It is machine washable and also chemical free.

MissLandson Make Up Remover Towel is available on Amazon for $19.99 (Currently on sale for $13.99).  Free shipping is offered for Prime members.

I always receive products for free or on a discount in exchange for an honest review. This gift idea that I am about to tell you is no different. 


Portable Outdoor and Shower Bluetooth 4.0 Speaker byAYL 


 
This awesome small compact speaker is very easy to use. The style is very modern and not dated. I personally do not like the color that I was given – but there are also other color options.  Here are the awesome features of this speaker:
  • Shower & outdoor Bluetooth speakers feature 5-watt audio for stronger bass and higher quality sound.
  • Perfect for Outdoor Sports and travel.
  • Very easy to pair with your device.
  • Range of the sound is 33 feet.
  • High capacity battery that can provide up to 12 hours of continuous play. Can be recharged in just 3 hours with the included Micro USB cable.
  • Universal compatibility. 
  • Waterproof - but not submersible. 


All seven features are present in the device that I tested. In fact I was very impressed with the quality of the sound – very crisp and clear.  The bass is also pretty good.

This Bluetooth speaker will be a great gift to music lovers and to shower singers! :)

 AYL Bluetooth Speaker is priced at $29.99 + free shipping on Amazon
