Golden Spoon Silicone Ice Molds Review

I purchased these because I am trying to eat healthy. I thought that it would be a good idea to turn my protein shakes and smoothies into a frozen treat. These are perfect for the job, I just make my smoothie as usual and fill these with it. After a few hours its frozen and I can eat it like a popsicle - it kind of tricks me into thinking I am getting a treat. They are much bigger than I thought and easy to clean with my stainless steel bottle cleaning brush. Otherwise, you can throw them in some hot soapy water and everything just slides off. They've got a nice thick opening that makes them easy to fill and nothing leaks out with the cap on. For the pops in the photo I blended up watermelon, strawberries, banana, and greek yogurt and they were DELICIOUS! You should definitely give them a try!

Villain 20000mAh Power Bank Review

Wow...I am so impressed with this power bank! It is definitely the most heavy duty bank I've owned. I am a medical student from Canada - I spent my first two years in the Caribbean and now am doing clinical rotations all over the USA. Needless to say, I do a ton of traveling. I am also very outdoorsy and love taking camping and mountain biking trips! There is nothing worse than being stuck with dead devices on these trips and this power bank will definitely solve all of my problems that way. When I received the bank, it was charged to 90%. I plugged two cellphones into that were at 10% and 15%. They both charged up to 100% in about an hour and 10 minutes, and 
the power in the bank only went down to 74%!!

This will just be so great to have in my bag and charge my devices over and over with it! I really appreciate that it has a power switch. This is one feature that other power banks I have owned doesn't have. This is beneficial because I can charge it up and turn it off and then always have it for emergency - I won't have to worry about whether or not it is still charged when I am ready to use it. It has a nice big display that tells you how much of the charge is remaining as well. It came in a nice mesh carrying bag too, so I can toss it in my bag and not worry about it getting scratched up and such. One last awesome feature is that it has two LED lights built right into it. This is another feature my other banks have not had and will be great in the case of an emergency or power outage! I got lost in the woods on my mountain bike during the summer time and the sun set - it made it extremely difficult to find my way out of the bush and if I had had this bank with me, it would have been a great help. I'm extremely happy with this bank and would absolutely recommend it!!

Bepei Tunic Hoodie

I am really happy with this sweater. I am a big Indiana University fan and bought this in Maroon so I could sport their colors because I go to their games often! I am 30 years old, 5'5, 125 lbs. I wear a 34B bra, and have a 26 inch waist. I ordered this in a medium since that was the smallest size offered and assumed it would run small. After receiving it, I would say that it fits true to size as it is a little loose on me. I still love the way it looks and it is super comfortable, and since it is a little bigger I can wear it over other clothing if I want to. The sweater is a thinner, lightweight material that is great for layering or wearing on it's own. The sweater is really well made and the stitching is great. There were no tugs or holes anywhere. The color was exactly what is shown on the site. I washed this in my regular load of laundry with cold water and dried it normally and it didn't shrink and it washed up great. I can't wait to cheer on my team wearing this cute sweater. I am a very happy customer and would definitely recommend this product!

FSP-502 Mountain Bike Hydraulic Dropper Seat

I recently purchased this dropper seatpost to replace a used KS Dropzone i900r that I had for 2 weeks before returning it. These are the first two dropper posts I have owned and only after a few days of riding on it, I am absolutely in love with this FPS-502 and much like all the pro riders say, you may not think you need one but once you have one you’ll never go back. Ok, so the pros and the cons. I was between this and the “upgraded” 180 dollar version of the DNM dropper. I should also mention I'm 6'7 230# and ride really hard.

I chose this over the DNM for several reasons:

1. Same price, but DNM was not Prime eligible, this one was.
2. The cable connects much lower on this one, down at the base of the seat post not up under your seat like most other externally linked brands, including KS. This allows for more of an “internally routed” feel and look without actually internally routing.
3. As I stated, I don’t have much experience with droppers but in my extensive online research, the biggest complaint across the board, especially with regard to KS and DNM posts is that the remote is simply uncomfortable, breaks easily or both. This one is plastic, versus the KS being metal but man is this one SO MUCH easier to engage. You have to push it “all the way” down for it to work flawlessly but I’d rather it be loose and easy to engage than have my left thumb hurting after a short ride, which the KS lever definitely did.

Here are a few more positives, not compared to the DNM:

1. There honestly weren’t that many 31.6 mm droppers with 125 mm travel for under the 300$. I did an expansive search and came across this one, which had a few recent and decent reviews, another plus in my book.
2. It comes with PLENTY of cable length which allows you to mess up a few times and still be able to cut it shorter if need be.
3. I have made it a point to push this thing the last few days and it has not backed down one bit. Still quickly extends all the way up and smoothly goes all the way down. Will update here in a few months.
4. Full year warranty and although I haven’t had to use it yet and hopefully never will, another reviewer said they were great to work with, responded quickly and sent him a new post so that's promising.

Cons: Some will surely consider these nitpicking but they’re worth mentioning.

1. Aside from the amazon reviews there is literally no information about these products anywhere. I looked all over the web, on MTBR (which I’m going to try and change) and anywhere else I could think of and I couldn’t even find info on FastAce let alone a legit review of this thing, and that’s really too bad.
2. The screw that tightens down the lever clamp is a small allen key and its really a pain in the ass to get in and easily adjust/tighten.
3. Same goes for the mechanism up top involving 2/3mm allen keys and in my case some prayers and loctite to get it to stick correctly, and I’m still not convinced it’ll hold through my rough riding this winter but we’ll see.
4. The directions are poorly printed and even more poorly understood but I’ve worked with enough bike stuff to get it figured out. Just remember, measure twice, cut once.
5. The cable adjuster is simply a nut on the lever, yes it works but it would be nice to have a true barrel adjuster like the KS because the post itself slows down a bit in the cold and it would be nice to adjust on the fly.
6. Finally, there is just a tiny little bit of side to side play in the saddle and I have it tightened as tight as I feel comfortable but its nothing that will stop me from riding it or even buying another.
