Kivino Z100



The Kinivo ZX100 is a compact wired speaker that packs a big sound. The speaker comes in a variety of colors and can be found on Kinivo’s website or on Amazon. The product retails for around $20 (price subject to change). The ZX100 was sent out for review.



The speaker come with a soft cloth carrying pouch and a micro USB charging cable with a 3.5 mm jack attached to it. This allows users to charge the speaker with a laptop and play sound from the laptop through the speaker by plugging the 3.5mm cable into the laptop’s audio port. This is a nice add- on but I do not use it at all. The speaker has a battery life of up to 6 hours, which is plenty of time for me to use in my daily life. When charging, the LED on the side of the speaker is a solid red. Once the speaker is at full battery life, the LED will turn off.
The build of the speaker is good. It is made of plastic but still seems durable and like it can take a bit of damage. There are no scratches on it or fingerprints due to its matte finish. The buttons are all physical and include the on/off, volume up, and volume down buttons. There is a 3.5mm cable located on the bottom of the speaker that one can use to plug an audio device into the speaker. The 3.5mm cable is not retractable so one has to manually replace the cord back into its housing in the speaker (see photos or video for more information), which is less than desirable. The cord is short and seems fragile so I do not use it. Instead, I plug my own audio cable, which is a longer as well as better built cord, into the speaker.
The speaker has a few features that makes it stand out. The speaker part of the speaker can pop out away from the body of the speaker to help resonate the sound and bass (shown in the video). This enhances the sound greatly and provides rich sound quality as well as deeper bass. After one is finished using the speaker, the speaker portion of the speaker can retract back into the body of the speaker for portability. Another feature is the ability to purchase multiple ZX100s and daisy chain them together to increase theplayback sound. I have not tested this feature but with the affordable price range, one can pick up a few of these to use.
The sound on the speaker is good for the price range. The volume buttons are independent of one’s audio device so increasing the sound of the ZX100 increases the sound heard even if the audio device is maxedout. The bass is present especially when the speaker is opened. For a small speaker, it packs a loud sound with some good bass included.
Overall, the ZX100 wired speaker is compact and affordable. It packs some nice sound and nice bass. I would recommend this speaker to those in the market for a portable speaker but do not mind that it is wired.

Kat's Naturals Pure CBD Oil Review

Image
Kat's Naturals sent me over bottles of their CBD oils to try out. I want to disclose that I personally did not use the oils. This review is based from my grandpa. My Grandpa suffers with severe pain all the time from arthritis, not sleeping due to pain, and many other things. He recently started using CBD oil and immediately noticed a HUGE difference in pain and his sleeping patterns. Once Kat's Naturals said they would work with me, I knew I had to give them to him to try.                                                                             The 2 oils they sent me were Heal and Relax. Heal is flavored with peppermint and Relax with orange.  This the Heal oil. It is 1500mg CBD per ounce which is the strongest my grandpa had ever used. He had only used 300mg before. My grandpa was so cute, he called me to tell me how he liked it, he even offered to type something up for me. He really is the cutest! He told me "I have used 3 other companies CBD oil

QALO rings

Image
QALO was very kind and sent me 2 of their rings to review. I received one female and one male ring in the color slate. QALOs rings are very unique, they are a silicone band that comes in so many colors. QALO is perfect for anyone, especially those who are active.                                                      QALO even offers personalization! If you and your significant other have pet names or a special date that's important to you; you can pick out your favorite QAO ring and they will engrave the inside of it for you.                                       QALO offers so many options, and colors. They even sell a line of rings that donates part of the money made from sales to different law enforcement, firefighters, etc. My favorite thing about QALO is how comfortable their rings are. You don't have to worry about working hard and losing a diamond, or scratching the gold. Its silicone, super budget friendly, and the variety means everyone can find something they l

It's time for another  Nadine West review.                                                                         This 3 quarter length shirt is so cute. I love the details on the front. This pairs with leggings and jeans which is perfect. The picture of this doesn't do it justice. This wine colored top has peek-a-boo shoulders. It has ruffles around the chest . Its fitted at the bottom which lays beautifully on your waist. This is my favorite top I received this month. This grey sweater was a close 2nd for me. The back has this adorable crisscross pattern that adds the perfect touch. This is also the softest sweater this month. This short sleeve shirt is so cute for not only the winter, but year round. I love the slits on top of the sleeves. It adds some simple details that takes it from a plain t-shirt to a cute one. My husband is a HUGE space buff. I showed him these and he said these are his favorite leggings I own now. LOL As always, the
