Protect Your Hands While Working

    Years ago I worked at Procter & Gamble making baby diapers. One of the first things they made us all get, were a pair of mechanics gloves. We weren't allowed to handle any tools without them. It was awkward at first, but once I got used to them, I never went without them at work or at home, when using tools. To this day, I still use gloves to get jobs done!


Protect Your Hands While Working 

    We use our hands a lot. Which makes them prone to cuts, scrapes, bruises and more. I can't seem to help my son tighten his bike chain without gouging up my knuckles. However, that doesn't have to be the case. All you need are a good pair of mechanics gloves. I personally love StrongSuit Mechanics Gloves. First of all, they're comfortable and not at all bulky, so they feel like a second skin. Which is perfect, since they actually feature Second Skin Technology. This tech makes the gloves fit perfectly so they aren't in your way while you're trying to get stuff done.


Snags Make Me Gag

    I have a severe sensory aversion to snags. Just thinking of them gives me goosebumps. When I am unfortunate enough to snag clothing onto something it literally makes me gag. I don't have to worry about that with my StrongSuit Mechanics Gloves. The stretchable webbing keeps them comfy, as well as from snagging on wood or metal.


Not Just for Work

    Take it from me, if you have to repairs to make in your home or on your car, you want to protect your hands. StrongSuit Mechanics Gloves will do just that. However, they're not just good for working or doing repairs in the home. These gloves are perfect for riding bikes or motorcycles. They're also perfect as tactical gloves for the military and more. My husband wears his when he goes hunting. He reports that they keep his hands warm, and help him grip his rifle better too!

Stay Cool Wherever You Go

    Here comes the heat wave! At least here in NEPA. They're calling for 100° or higher. Thanks to my new little desk fan from Trustech, I will be keeping cooler.


Stay Cool Wherever You Go

    Even with the air conditioners running, I still get hot flashes. (Thanks so much Mother Nature!) So I was looking for a smaller fan. One I could use on my end table, but one that wouldn't take up a ton of room. I stumbled across the Trustech USB Desk Fan. It's perfect!

    It's small in size, but mighty in power, and really helps me through those dreaded hot flashes. Because it runs off of a USB cord, you can plug it into your computer, laptop, and more. This is super handy because that means you can use it at work. You could take it camping as well.


Sturdy Design

    The Trustech USB Desk Fan is sturdy in design. Both the frame, and the fan blades are made of lightweight metal. So you don't have to worry about it becoming dented or cracking. This fan only weighs fourteen ounces, so it's lightweight and easily goes wherever you do. 

360° Cooling

    You can position your Trustech USB Desk Fan a full 360° for optimal cooling. You can set it on any flat surface, or you can even hang it over something thanks to base. And don't worry that the metal will scratch up your surfaces. It comes with rubber covers to place on the bottom to save your table tops.


Power Saving

    The Trustech USB Desk Fan only uses five watts of power per hour. So you don't have to worry about it running up your electric bill. It also has an on and off switch so you don't have to unplug it to turn it off.

Wrist Pain? Wrap it Up!


     I'm always in pain thanks to Fibromyalgia. However, lately my wrists have been giving me a ton of problems. Seems I have tendinitis, from typing and crocheting. Yes, from crocheting. According to my doctor it comes from repetitive movements. She suggested I wrap up my wrists.


Wrist Pain? Wrap it Up!

    I've come to realize that something as simple as doing dishes can be a real chore when my tendinitis is flaring up. My doctor suggested wrist wraps to help when I'm working or crocheting. With so many on the market, I wasn't sure which to choose. I actually decided on Obliviscar's Wrist Wraps.



    These are actually geared towards those that work out or lift a lot of weight. However, they do work for tendinitis. They are stiff, so they keep my wrists supported, keeping them flaring up. By supporting your wrists, they are supporting your tendons, which in turn, keeps them from over stretching and causing pain. 


You Don't Have to Life Weights to Benefit from These Wraps


    Though I don't actually lift weights, I do a lot of other lifting in my day to day life. I wear my Obliviscar Wrist Wraps to work, crochet, push mow the lawn, carry groceries, laundry, and more. I love how these wraps don't cover most of my short forearm like many other ones do. They cover my wrists, and a strap goes over my thumb. I even wear them to bed in the event that my wrists are hurting because they keep me from bending my hands in my sleep.


If You Do Lift, Then You Definitely Want Wrist Wraps

    My sister lift weights competitively. She always wears wrist wraps. I showed her the ones I got from Obliviscar, and now she's off to order herself a pair. My sis agrees that the firmness is what a lifter wants, and says that having your wrists supported, actually helps you to be able to lift more. 

    When you order the Obliviscar Wrist Wraps, you'll get two wraps, a carrying bag, and a cooling towel. So whether you lift weights for fun, competition, or do a lot of lifting at work, these wrist wraps are for you!
