These are so handy whether for in-home use or for your car, these are the best to hold discs from damage yet not taking up so much space leaving them in their original cases. I don’t think one can have enough of these! They’re much better than praying the cases stay intact for years to come & with kids in the house, they often don’t. I can’t get enough of these for DVDs IN the house & CDs in the car! Have to have more and this one is sturdy and ample. #McNeilGraphix #PurchasesMadeSimple #Amazon #AmazonPrime #Remax #Remax128CapacityCDDVDVCDcase Source:  https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0745BQ5NG/ref=cm_cr_ryp_prd_ttl_sol_0

Mom - Were I simply battling swelling, this sock on my left leg might be of aid but I do have another issue and that seems to be exacerbated by the strength of these socks. These would be terrific for flying and pregnancy-related swelling but the problem I have doesn’t seem to be solved by this. I will update this after I’ve spoken with my doctor but in wearing just one sock on the problematic leg, I suffered throbbing throughout the time I had it on. On the other hand, this is an extremely well-made pair of socks and deserve to be spoken of on merit, not on how I am effected. I feel they may be a bit tight but it could be that my problem is the reason for feeling this way. The quality of these are bar-none some of the best I have ever seen and far from what I had and used when I was pregnant and battled swelling due to medications I was on. #McNeilGraphix #PurchasesMadeSimple #Amazon #AmazonPrime  #MubaselGear #CompressionSocks 20-30mmhgforFlight SOURCE:  https://www.amazon.com/dp/B

Neat stand-alone cloning device to clone an SSD or two at a time. You can remove your own and clone it or even clone it to another exterior hard drive, though I haven’t tried that just yet. I will update this as I use it more and learn more about what all it is capable of doing. It works on most Apple computers that take an SSD so it makes it very easy to replace your drive when necessary. I couldn’t believe how simple it is to take one out, clone it, and replace it giving the computer a “new” hard drive on which to run. Note: While you have your Mac open, be sure to use some compressed air to clean out all the debris that easily accumulates over time.  It is supposed to support up to 8 TB but I didn’t need near that much space.  #McNeilGraphix #PurchasesMadeSimple #Amazon #AmazonPrime  #Alxum #AlxumUSB3.0toSATADualBayExternalHardDriveDockingStation SOURCE:  https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01K7GC1VW/ref=cm_cr_ryp_prd_ttl_sol_0

The night cream does not take much to go a long way moisturizing my skin after cleansing. It is not heavy or greasy and a little seems to go a very long way.very moisturizing, This night has ingredients proven successful and widely used in the treatment works against aging, reduction of wrinkles as well as reduction of age spots. So far, I am very pleased with the results of this cream after even such a short time. The nightly use of this night cream has proven effective in providing appropriate moisture for my face and neck and feels so nourishing. #McNeilGraphix #PurchasesMadeSimple #Amazon #AmazonPrime #PureBiology  # PureBiologyAntiAgingNightCream SOURCE:  https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B06XQXS7XC/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I don’t recommend stopping any routine oral or dental care. Simply wet your toothbrush, dip into the charcoal to cover the tops of the brushes and brush as if you’re brushing your teeth. Charcoal is a known brightening agent for teeth. It is recommended to brush for two minutes in small circles. The original ingredient in this is from coconut and all the ingredients are organic, no artificial additives. It does say it can be used in place of toothpaste but I personally would not recommend it. My brother, however, refuses to use fluoride enriched toothpaste so he is using this in its stead. He likes it and says it leaves his teeth clean, his breath fresh and his mouth feeling clean and refreshed. #McNeilGraphix #PurchasesMadeSimple #Amazon #AmazonPrime  #Sagano #SaganoTeethWhiteningCharcoalPowder SOURCE:  https://www.amazon.com/dp/B074H1ZHPL/ref=cm_cr_ryp_prd_ttl_sol_0

Three small collapsible bowls with matching caribiners is MUCH easier to deal with in travelling with Chewy as I ordinarily do not feed him on the short jaunts we make but he does require water. While they don’t hold much, that is better than filling some kitchen bowl or cooking pot and having it get ruined driving around. I simply load up a full water bottle to refill the bowl as needed and these are easily washed. I remove the caribiners and throw them into the dishwasher. I can hang one or two in the car depending on our length of planning to be out and pop one out, fill it. They have never toppled over and hold just enough water not to spill all over and for Chewy to get the refreshment drink he needs. #McNeilGraphix #PurchasesMadeSimple #Amazon #AmazonPrime #OdePetOdePet #OdePetOdePetCollapsibleDogBowlwithCarabiner SOURCE:  https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B073TDLBWD/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

This lighter is flameless as it uses a unique double arc technology to light, is very elegant, runs a good week on one charge via USB, for me, at least, and will keep me from spending who knows how much on disposable or reloadable lighters ever again. This would make a very tasteful gift as everyone who has seen my new lighter has immediately wanted one. It is small, easily fits in the palm of my hand and lights instantly with the press of a button to a flameless, wind-proof arc that lights a cigarette, candle or whatever instantly. A very tasteful gift for someone needing a lighter, this one offers 100% satisfaction guaranteed and so far, I am very impressed. If I could give it more than five stars, I would. #McNeilGraphix #PurchasesMadeSimple #Amazon #AmazonPrime #XBULL#ArcLighter SOURCE:  https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B074D71VBZ/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o08_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I never knew they actually made all these hygiene products using Himalayan Salts. It makes sense given the salts are known to have so many nourishing, detoxifying attributes. This shampoo has no colorant, no alcohols & is GMO-free but does detoxifies your hair when using. This includes both Himalayan salt and lavender so it is a natural cleanser that is moisturizing, anti-microbial, and wonderful during the winter when humidity is low and weather is particularly hard and drying on my hair. Very concentrated, it is a deep cleansing shampoo that makes my hair feel amazing after each use.  #McNeilGraphix #PurchasesMadeSimple #Amazon #FreeShipping #HimalayanChef #NaturalSolutionHimalayanPinkSaltShampoo SOURCE:  https://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/B076CS45KZ/ref=dp_olp_new_mbc?ie=UTF8&condition=new

Made of a black faux leather that feels nearly real, I really like this vehicle data holder that comes with a pen that has a mesh tip to use on a touch screen device. I can keep my mileage document in this along with my registration and insurance forms but there is room for much more. In fact is a little larger than I wish it were as I initially wanted it for Mom’s car but it won’t fit in her glove box and the console container is missing its top. Were that repaired, this would be fine but I don’t like the idea of storing such a nice item on the floor under the seat or in the console without its top where this can get dirty as we often travel with the dogs, one or both, in the car with us. It is nice having all my documents in one place easy to grab and offer if needed or to record my mileage each day. #McNeilGraphix #PurchasesMadeSimple #Amazon #AmazonPrime #SHIMDU #SHIMDUCarRegistrationAndInsuranceHolder SOURCE:  https://www.amazon.com/dp/B074W7W5R7/ref=cm_cr_ryp_prd_ttl_sol_0

With 30 of these, I am only to personally use 5 or 6 of them as they only fit on metal house-type keys so I plan to give each of my siblings a few each as a little stocking stuffer tied to a larger gift at Christmas time. Someone with a ring full of keys could really use these to color coordinate the doors or locks over which they have control. But fir me, this is a deal to give friends & family each a few as a small gift. For the money I spent, these are helpful in remembering which is the house key, the garage key, the shop key and so on.  #McNeilGraphix #PurchasesMadeSimple #Amazon #AmazonPrime  #FiveofFive #KeyCapsTagsHousekeyLabels SOURCE:  https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01IHE41NM/ref=cm_cr_ryp_prd_ttl_sol_0

When working in front of her computer some times as many as 16-18 hours per day, it is beginning to show by the building of muscles in the wrong places that her posture is far from erect. This posture corrector is not the torture device it looks like. It is actually very comfortable and does straighten one’s posture without discomfort. She has been wearing it since I got it and actually can tell a difference in the stiffness of her neck and shoulders from doing so. I recommend it for anyone but especially anyone who sits and works on a computer hour after hour. #McNeilGraphix #PurchasesMadeSimple #Amazon #AmazonPrime #Honter #BackPostureCorrectorHonterClavicleBrace SOURCE:  https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07584NS7K/ref=cm_cr_ryp_prd_ttl_sol_0

His phone was recently stolen but he was fortunate enough to find a very good deal on a Samsung Galaxy S7Edge for which he would need all the protective add-ons including a good, sturdy protective case. This is an elegant case but since he is a plumber by trade, well also be looking for a hardier case for use while he works. This he can use all other times. #McNeilGraphix #PurchasesMadeSimple #Amazon #AmazonPrime  #CROSYMX #GalaxyS7EdgeCaseBack Cover SOURCE:  https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07539XQV2/ref=cm_cr_ryp_prd_ttl_sol_0

I got this neat little  lavalier (clip-on) microphone that attaches to my cell phone or hers, in this instance as I got it for my sister who teaches jewelry making classes. She and Mom can share it since Mom does some videos that often require voicing over the images. It picks up my voice easily and clearly and cuts out the majority of the background noise unless it is excessive. My sis can talk throughout her class addressing each participant and Mom can do a hands-free audio file for a video she is editing.

Whether for decor or hygiene, Mom has a passion for Himalayan Salts and says these bath salts are unlike anything she has ever used to soak in the tub. She uses them not just for relaxation but all the added benefits of using them such as they are said to detoxify your body during a bath. She says it is so incredibly softening and far better than using regular Epsom salts for a relaxing soak. The salts are also healing - her problem is time and taking time out to more frequently enjoy these benefits. I hope she will soon be able to do so, she seems to so enjoy a good, relaxing bath. #McNeilGraphix #PurchasesMadeSimple #Amazon #AmazonPrime #HimalayanChef #WBMNaturalSolutionHimalayanPinkSaltBath https://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/B076BYT8HS/ref=dp_olp_new_mbc?ie=UTF8&condition=new

Everyone probably needs to drink more water and I know I am guilty I really like this bottle as it is set up to time myself, almost a  to consume at least 32 oz. of water per day. If I didn’t like the taste of water, which I don’t mind, I could add fruit, herbs or healthy teas in order to get the allotted amount of water into my system each day. In addition to the timing feature and the infuser, what else is really neat is the way it is made I do not have to even tilt my head to take a sip of water. The water comes up the built-in straw without causation of movement of the bottle. It comes in both pink and black and would make a terrific gift for someone you know who needs encouragement to drink more water. Both shatter-proof and leak-proof, the bottle comes apart for ease in thoroughly cleaning.  #McNeilGraphix #PurchasesMadeSimple #Amazon #AmazonPrime #Slomg #32ozStrawWaterBottles Most Unique Water Bottle I’ve Ever Used

This testosterone booster is a supplement I got to increase my energy level and improve stamina as I have not felt I’ve had much energy no matter my diet or workout routine. Having turned 30 in June, statistically, testosterone is shown to begin quickly declining and I first thought it was a “mind-over-matter” issue but having taken these for this amount of time, I can see now I needed the supplement to improve my energy, boost my stamina, and improve my overall attitude and though I needed weight gain, this has improved my appetite which was desperately in need. These are wholly natural which improved my outlook in taking these and giving them a try. Overall, I am fairly happy with the results of taking this supplement. #McNeilGraphix #PurchasesMadeSimple #Amazon #AmazonPrime # TGENIX #TGENIXFreeTestosteroneBoosterSupplement https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0747SRBK9/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I have wanted some lights in my dining room window around the arch I have hanging there. I only have a lace valance and a large spider plant and thought a set of lights would be pretty around the arch. I think they are even during the day. I run them all the time even though they do take batteries. There are 6 1/2 ft. of lights with 20 LED globes that are about an inch in diameter. I thought these would be unique as I’ve had many of the tiny fairy lights and like only clear lights. I don’t use colored lights even at Christmas time so these will stay up year round. I think they’ve really added a lot of beauty to the dining room window. #McNeilGraphix #PurchasesMadeSimple #Amazon #AmazonPrime #CFTech #GlobeStringLightsCFTech6.5 ft20LEDFairyLights #RankBoosterReviewii. #Sponsorediii #CFTech https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B074YK6CLK/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o09_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I’ve always kept myself in good shape and I enjoy weight lifting but not to any extent of body building. I do it just to work in rotation of various routines I’ve had to improvise as I get more and more equipment. I thought this would be a neat addition and even though I don’t have free weights with which to use it, it is very easy to improvise something to lift, as you can see. It is so simple to put together workout equipment but this is a neat addition that aids me in using various items to vary the weight I lift until I can begin building on the purchase of various other equipment. Between the arm blaster and the stretch band that came with another item I bought, I am able to put together an excellent workout routine. (FYI: The dog weighs 70 lbs. I had to work my way up to lifting her. It isn’t always easy as she wiggles but gallon jugs can be filled with water, 2 ltr. bottles, also - there are many ways I’ve been able to enjoy this instrument.) #McNeilGraphix #PurchasesMadeSimpl

This is a total of ten dog toys bought individually elsewhere would easily add up to far additional expense. I’ve bought many that haven’t even lasted a day with these two dogs. These are made of good quality para-cord and difficult for even my destructive dogs to chew through. They did destroy one in minutes but I think it was one meant for a smaller dog. The only other is the giraffe and my youngest is a ferocious chewer! The giraffe is her favorite and now she has two...only in halves! She shreds everything but has yet to do any more damage than tearing it in two. The others I can hardly tell have been played with and I can see little wear regardless of how quickly they seem to destroy everything. That tells me these are well made and meant for abuse. This was a good investment and so glad I bought them. The dogs love them; they keep them occupied, and they are meant to last!  #McNeilGraphix #PurchasesMadeSimple #Amazon #AmazonPrime #AIZARA #RopeDogToysDurableDogChewToysRopes http

It does fit nicely and is comfortable to carry a weapon around my waist. It is made to simply conceal a weapon on your person under a shirt or jacket. It is made of a comfortable stretch fiber that is wholly adjustable up to 45”. I am fairly small so it is plenty large for me. It conceals a weapon and having shown the large pistol you can see (photos), practically any sized handgun will fit in this band. The button unsnaps easily and the flap is made of elastic and leather with a buttonhole for unsnapping the weapon. It doesn’t slide around one me and doesn’t cause me to sweat under it. I don’t know how often I will need to carry this but I know when I do, I will do so comfortably. #McNeilGraphix #PurchasesMadeSimple #Amazon #AmazonPrime #BlackStars #ConcealedCarryHolster SOURCE:  https://www.amazon.com/dp/B071S4DY33/ref=cm_cr_ryp_prd_ttl_sol_0

I was skeptical about this - wasn’t sure what good it would do but once fitted onto my neck, it offers a great deal of relief. From my mother to all my siblings, we tend to keep our stress in our necks and shoulders. Doctors are amazed when they feel how tight our muscles are from tension as to how we stand the discomfort. This is helping by wearing it at night while doing nothing else. I did pump it too high at first and it scared me as it will continue to grow so I quickly learned to only pump it to the point I need for relief. Mom has a back injury in addition to degenerative disc disease so she uses this also and finds she gets relief from wearing it, as well. I totally recommend it to anyone with these problems or perhaps someone that has had surgery on their neck or spine. I believe removing the weight of my head and placing it onto the pillow (device) provides a lot of relief as our heads are the heaviest parts of our bodies. It inflates and deflates in seconds so it’s simple to

My garden hose had just snapped in two and I had to buy a garden hose. This one comes compact in a small box but stretches out to beyond 50’ and though many of those I’ve seen are not sturdy, this one seems to be. It comes equipped with a spray nozzle that has 8 different settings. I have photos (shown) of it at the relaxed position and stretched almost all the way taut showing how long this hose is. It has brass connectors and is multi-cored for extra stability. The others I’ve seen and some I’ve tried have broken in no time. I think this one will last for a very long time and it has a 1 yr. warranty. I may not use it much going into fall but in the spring, it will really be put to the test. It doesn’t leak and connections are easily made with this hose plus water temperatures are not an issue with this hose. Very happy with this so far.  #McNeilGraphix #PurchasesMadeSimple #Amazon #AmazonPrime #FarSmart #GARDEN HOSEGARDEN HOSE50 FTPREMIUM QUALITY SOURCE:  https://www.amazon.com/dp/

This trunk organizer is the ideal size for virtually any trunk but you can see (in photos) I still have room after the addition of the organizer. No more do I have groceries rolling all over or have to worry about my battery cables tangling or clutter piling up. I usually have stuff just thrown into my trunk and this forces me to keep things a bit more organized. It has multiple pockets and folds completely flat when not in use. It is heavier than I though but that is due to its build which is very sturdy. It came with a bonus back of the seat organizer which is great for the dog items I carry as well as the items I have in the car for my nephew. I am so happy I got this! I advise everyone who wants to keep things neat in their vehicle to get this trunk organizer. It’s the most well made one I’ve ever come across and am so happy I finally got one.  #McNeilGraphix #PurchasesMadeSimple #Amazon #AmazonPrime #Point1 #Point1AutoTrunkOrganizer SOURCE:  https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B

When I saw how small this is, I wasn’t sure it would do the trick but after running it for over 2 weeks, I’m a believer that this will cleanse the air and help with my nephew’s allergies. We smoke but he’s only here 6 nights a mo. so we try to be as cautious as possible not smoking around him. This advertised it would eliminate smoke smell and it does help. He seemed to sleep much better and cough far less with this plugged into my room. I don’t even wake as stopped up as I used to. It is so quiet I can barely hear it and only know it is running when I can see the blue light it emits. It plugs directly into the wall and I like best that I don’t have to constantly replace the filters, only clean them. Thought I’d give this a try since he’s been tried on nothing but medications and I’m so glad I did. It really works. #McNeilGraphix #PurchasesMadeSimple #Amazon #AmazonPrime #Gideon #GideonElectronicPlug-inAirPurifierwithUVAirSanitizer SOURCE:  https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01F7TRMG

I grew up using the absolute best pencil sharpener ever made - the old-fashioned crank-type that was attached to the wall but those now are nearly impossible to find. While I’d prefer an electric as opposed to a battery-operated sharpener, I still like this better than the little hand-held kind made and often included in back-to-school kits. This one takes 4 AAA batteries and my only complaint is unless they’re new or freshly charged, the sharpener will not work at all. When working, though, it does a terrific job of bringing a brand new pencil to the sharpest of points and being as finicky as I am, I sharpen often! I like my lines clear and even I am shading, I’ll continue to sharpen to get the longest point to achieve the most coverage with each stroke of the pencil.  #McNeilGraphix #PurchasesMadeSimple #Amazon #AmazonPrime #CYPERTOP #CYPERTOPHeavyDutyElectricPencilSharpenerSmartSharpening SOURCE:  https://www.amazon.com/dp/B071NHS2Q6/ref=cm_cr_ryp_prd_ttl_sol_0

Anyone following my reviews knows I’ve been trying to build a nice collection of knives. In order to do so, I’d definitely need a decent sharpener, which this is. It has and anti-slip cushioned bottom making it so easy to sharpen my knives and this sharpens straight as well as serrated knives. No more need to purchase more knives or pay someone to sharpen them for them. #McNeilGraphix #PurchasesMadeSimple #Amazon #AmazonPrime #Damad #KitchenKnifeSharpener2StageSharpeningForLinearAndSerratedKnives SOURCE:  https://www.amazon.com/dp/B074SWB8NB/ref=cm_cr_ryp_prd_ttl_sol_0

This one is so thick and soft and can have other uses than just blush. I have a decent blush brush but this one will work beautifully for blending, adding contour and high-lights as well as an all-over finish if cleaned in between. I don’t wear make-up daily but when I have or even just used this brush as a highlighter for sunscreen, the hairs have not fallen out at all. I’ve spent thousands of dollars on make-up brushes over the years and nearly all shed to some extent. The true test will be cleaning the brush but so far, I am very happy with the brush. All natural hair, it isn’t uncommon for brushes to shed but this one hasn’t lost a single fiber! I am very likely to purchase more.  #McNeilGraphix #PurchasesMadeSimple #Amazon #AmazonPrime #DUcare #BlushBrushBlendingBrushbyDUcare SOURCE:  https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01EFOUPJ2/ref=cm_cr_ryp_prd_ttl_sol_0

This one is right for the right price. It reads various types of cards  - the only bad part for me is it doesn’t read the card from my camera (XS) but little does any longer as the camera is old and the cards aren’t very popular today. Nonetheless, it reads all the important cards most commonly used such as the Micro SD, SD, and several others. Easy to transfer all my photos from my phone, if necessary, is lightweight but sturdy and also has 3 USB hubs for use in charging so no need to every unplug.
