Coccyx Orthopedic Memory Foam Seat Cushion
This is a very nice cushion. It really does give you that extra bit of comfort but also holds your body in the position it was meant to be in to help relieve the stress we all put on our bodies.
The only problem I have with it is the material on the top of the cushion is a little rough when setting on it in shorts. It is fine when you have pants or a skirt on that covers the cushion but setting bare legged on it kind of digs and is stratchy to my legs. Other then that it is very comfortable to me.
It is very thick unlike some of the other memory foam pads I have seen and used. There is an opening in the center which would be great for hemorrhoids. It is raised in the center front between the leg area and raised also at the back producing almost a bowl like effect for your bottom.
The pad is about 18 inches wide, 15 inches from front to back, and about 5 inches thick at it's thickest point. This is a great cushion for chairs or in cars. This will also lift you up if your chair is too low for your desk. I do spend a lot of time setting at my desk and this cushion as made it more comfortable.

LRKC 100% Cotton Unisex Long Waffle Weave Bathrobe
I have found my new favorite bath robe. This is perfect for after a shower or when I get out of the hot tub.It is absorbent and catches what water the towel missed. It is like a spa robe.
It is thin but not to thin. It is over sized and feels great on me. I did wash mine and added fabric softener to it and it came out of the washer and dryer fine. I did not notice any shrinkage, color bleed or fading.
The robe features large pockets on the front at the waist area. It also has a long belt, that is not attached to the robe. There are loops, one on each side to feed the belt through. I am 5'6 and this goes about mid calf on me. This is a great robe to snuggle into while you finish drying after your shower.
I love lounging in a robe in the mornings when I first get up and in the evenings before bed and this one is perfect for that. It is unisex and looks great on my husband as well. This robe will be nice to take on our weekend getaways and vacations as it is not bulky like my fuzzy bathrobe I have been wearing.

Mosiso Laptop Sleeve, Water-resistant Neoprene Case Bag
Very nice laptop sleeve. I chose the red wine one and love the color. The color is awesome and uniform on both pieces. There was no color variation between the 2 pieces either, they match perfectly. The pouches is lightly padded with a extremely soft blanket like material inside to hug your laptop, It also comes with a nice small pouch for your mouse or power cords.
Both pouches have a very nice zippered closure on them as well. The pouches are made out of a waterproof neoprene material. I was worried they would have that neoprene smell to them but when they arrived happily they did not. I do like knowing that when this gets dirty I can wash it. Being neoprene I can toss it in the washer with no problems.
The pouches do have some give to them so you could add file folders. pens, notepads or other small items into the laptop pouch. I do wish it had handles on it but it is a great pouch and the laptop fits perfectly inside.
I take my laptop with me a lot. My husband and I go on a lot of weekend getaways and vacation. I do have one of the large bulky briefcase styled laptop cases but it can be a pain to drag one more bulky item with me. With this small one I can pack it on the suitcase or have it on the back seat. Sometimes on long car rides I will pull out my laptop and play games or watch a movie while we are riding. This case beig small will make it easier to keep my laptop close at hand int he car.

Aprince 4.72 inches Universal Shower Head 7-Settings
We actually go through a lot of shower heads in my house. We have well water and there is a lot of iron in out water. The iron and calcium deposits tend to clod shower heads. I have tried several cleaners for the iron and while they do let the water spray out of the shower head they really never get all of it and eventually the water pressure gets constricted. So I am always on the look out for a new shower head.
This one was so easy to install, I did it myself with no tools and I have severe carpal tunnel in my wright hand. So if I can do it anyone can. Just screw off the old shower head and screw this one on. Done in about 2 minutes. This shower head is bigger then the one we had, there is a whole extra line of water wholes on this one. There are also 7 settings on this one my old one only had 3, so I was having fun going through all the settings in the shower the other night. My husband and I finally chose the setting we liked best and it just so happens to be the same one, how lucky am I? I really like that there is a small lever to go through the settings, the old one you had to fully turn the shower head. This one is so much easier. I love the feel of the water pressure with this one as well. It seems to really blast out of the head.
This really is a great shower head and I am very happy with it. Being easy to install and easy to use makes it even better.

Occupy Men's Cotton Stretch Ultimate Boxer Brief
I think I like these underwear as much as my husband does. They look great on him. They fit him perfectly and in all the right places as well.
He says they are very comfortable to wear. The do not bunch up or constrict in any way. They elastic waistband is comfortable and does not dig into his skin. He likes the feel of the super soft material. They are made of 95% cotton and 5% spandex.
My husband works in a factory as head of Maintenance and he is sweating all day long even in the winter, these underwear are light but yet absorbent. Yesterday it was 110 in the plant, so absorbency is a great thing. He is crawling in and out of machinery and these underwear move with him without bunching or riding up. They are thin and do not cause him to sweat more then normal either.
I did run these through the washer and dryer and did not notice any shinkage, color bleed, or fading.

LRKC Unisex Classic Long Satin Kimono Sleepwear Robe
I received the pink robe and absolutely love it. The Satin feels very nice against my skin. It is very soft. It is a warm robe as well. I like this so much better then the large thick and bulky robes. I am one of those people who like to put on a robe after my shower to let me skin dry well before getting dressed. This robe is perfect for that with it being light and large.
I am 5'6 and the robe comes to a about mid calf on me . It is large and very roomy. It has a pocket at each hip on the front. There is a sash to tie it closed. I like the that sash is separate and not sewn to the robe. I love the overly large sleeves. They are wide and long enough that I can move my arms anyway I want and the material doesn't strain. I did wash mine in the wash machine and let it hang to dry and it came out fine.
This is such a beautiful and shiny satin material. It would make a great gift as well. The darker colors would also be good for men. I think my husband would look awesome in the black one.

MAGGIE DOVE BOOK TOUR
Maggie Dove
by Susan Breen
Synopsis:
Susan Breen introduces a charming new series heroine in this poignant and absorbing cozy mystery with a bite. Maggie Dove thinks everyone in her small Westchester County community knows everyone else’s secrets. Then murder comes to town.
When Sunday School teacher Maggie Dove finds her hateful next-door neighbor Marcus Bender lying dead under her beloved oak tree—the one he demanded she cut down—she figures the man dropped dead of a mean heart. But Marcus was murdered, and the prime suspect is a young man Maggie loves like a son. Peter Nelson was the worst of Maggie’s Sunday School students; he was also her late daughter’s fiancé, and he’s been a devoted friend to Maggie in the years since her daughter’s death.
Maggie can’t lose Peter, too. So she sets out to find the real murderer. To do that, she must move past the grief that has immobilized her all these years. She must probe the hidden corners of her little village on the Hudson River. And, when another death strikes even closer to home, Maggie must find the courage to defend the people and the town she loves—even if it kills her.
