No more ear pain

This post may contain affiliate links. Read my disclosure policy here. 

 Honestly, I hate in-the-ear headphones and have only been able to use over-the-ear headphones until my husband told me about bone-conduction headphones. I was intrigued and wanted to try them out. Luckily I was sent a pair of bone-conduction headphones by Wigfar to review and I am in love. 

I like over-the-ear headphones but they always leave my delicate ears in pain which I think is from the headphones pushing on my ears on top of where my glasses are. With these bone-conduction headphones, I don't deal with this. They run behind the back of my head so I can comfortably wear my hair up or down it doesn't matter. They are lightweight, pair up easily by Bluetooth and sit gently on the Tragus by your ear. I can also wear my glasses with them and haven't had any pain. That was the big seller for me. 

Now for a few reasons why I love these. A few of my girls are runners and I was constantly telling them to leave one headphone out of their ear so they could hear their surroundings while they were running so they would be more aware of nearby danger. With that being said depending on how loud you have the volume set others may hear what you are listening to but I find that I can have these set at a much lower volume because the sound is so clear. Again when my children have headphones on in the house, they often can not hear when someone is calling them so these are able to be used and you are still aware of everything around you. 

These would be great for exercise, relaxing, while cleaning your home, watching your favorite show, or even taking phone calls. 

If you are looking for noise-canceling headphones these are not for you. These are headphones where you can listen to your favorite music, podcasts, etc, and not have to worry about missing out on anything that is going on around you. Check them out below.

Electronic Needs for Back to School

With back to school it is time to make sure everyone has everything they need. This year is a bit harder with our current situation but we have made do and gotten most of what we need. With that being said I wanted to make sure the girls had headphones and chargers for their electronics so I also made sure I had a nice long cord for myself. 

This cord from PowerUp is great because it is apple certified, is 6 ft long, and has a braided cord which I think holds up much longer then the unbraided cords out there. This particular cord is in Pink and is apple certified for with iPhone 7 Plus / 7 / 6s Plus / 6s / 6 Plus / 6 / 5s / 5c / 5 / iPad Pro / iPad Air / Air 2 / iPad mini / mini 2 / mini 4 / iPad 4th gen / iPod Touch 5th gen / iPod nano 7th gen. This one cord covers many ios operating models.

Sterline Counter Top Water Flosser

This was an item that I was told by my dentist to get because my teeth are so close together. Regular floss gets stuck and we either have to pull it out when possible or even cut it out of my mouth. I have used dental sticks with little or no results. In steps a water flosser and my life is changed as was the cleanliness of my mouth. I am looking forward to a shorter cleaning time at my next dentist check up. 

This is awesome as it holds 600 ml of water, comes with a 3 standard nozzles ,1 tongue scraper, 1 Orthodontic Tip  head, and one pocket head. This also comes with a 2 year warranty.

Sterline Sonic Pulse Electric Rechargeable Toothbrush

A manual toothbrush has been part of my life from the very beginning. Then when I became and adult I started hearing about rechargeable toothbrushes, then sonic toothbrushes. I asked my dentist and he suggested that I get one because of the iron supplements I have been on I have damage to my teeth from when they were forming under my baby teeth. Even with regular checkups a regular toothbrush just can't do for my teeth what a sonic toothbrush can. 

I already have a Sterline sonic toothbrush but added this one to my collection because it has the UV clean technology my primary physician suggested. I have a weak immune system and have to keep my toothbrushes clean and away from everyone else in the family. It has helped a lot in catching illness from their toothbrushes but this added security just may make an even bigger change in my quality of life. 

I suggest this for anyone who has immune problems or for anyone who just wants to make sure their toothbrush is clean. Before this I had to soak my toothbrush in bleach and then into boiling water to make sure it was clean. I also did everyone else in my families this way too but no more. This is so easy and it doesn't take any time out of my day to do it. I can brush, detach the head place it in the UV slot shut the door and go about my daily business knowing it will be clean for my next use.

This was our first time having a wand so there is a learning curve and I highly suggest heat proof gloves when you are using these. Once we were able to get the hang of using the wand we have been making some great curls. I like the definition I get from the use of the wand, no bend tips like a regular curling iron. this I love the most.

Love working with a company that listens to it's reviewers and customers. I love the short version of this and use it everyday but my only complaint is that it was too short when I need to come my laptop around from place to place. They listened and put out this cord which does just what I need it to do with length so that I don't have to worry about dangling products.

This 4 in 1, 3.3 foot multi USB charging cable has type c, 2/8 pin lighting, and micro USB love the length of cord it is perfect for my needs.
