Masks are a part of our daily reality now - if you had a mask before, you were all set! But if you didn't you probably found yourself scrambling and buying and trying and possibly regretting your mask decisions. I was lucky enough to have a mask from before the pandemic, one that I used for woodworking, that has served me well on a daily basis. However, it wasn't always the most comfortable, so I tried out a 'gaiter'-type mask. However, it didn't seem as effective, so I found another 'gaiter' mask with a filter. In the event you're still shopping or curious, I hope you find this video helpful and informative.

I own a few wireless chargers and a few power banks, but this is my first wireless power bank. Overall, this is an excellent product and it takes away some of the main annoyances I have with my power banks - namely, having a cord sticking out of my pocket attached to my phone. I already had a MAGQI magnet on my phone from my MAGQI car mount, so I was able to use this immediately. The magnetic pad is a little too thick for some cases, so keep than in mind if you use a case. I don't, so this fits my needs perfectly. The magnet attaches to the wireless charger firmly, as long as you have taken extra care to affix the magnetic pad to your phone with better double-sided tape that what it comes with. My only oddity with this unit is the way it turns on/off - On makes sense, but to turn it off you have to double-click the button. It's not a bad thing by any means, but it just feels odd to double-click a soft button in the age of long presses. Overall, another great product from MAGQI - they continue to solve my phone charging conundrums. Get your own at http://a.co/5oUma9J

We were visited by a circling helicopter and garbage truck this morning. Leighton and Zayla run to the door to watch the "copper/plane" and truck.

Many organizations are currently wrestling with the decision - and pushback - of bringing workers who were remote back into the office. While there are many positions which work better in-office, there are many which are completely functional working remote. The largest battle facing companies is not a generational battle of "young professionals" vs "old school ways", not is it as simple as working from home vs working remote. Rather, it's a battle of company culture and the definition of "perks" in a perk-free landscape. ------------------------------- |communicate |relate |innovate |create |connect linkedin.com/company/zhem facebook.com/communiZate ------------------------------- #leadership #management #workfromhome #business #culture music credit: StreamBeats -- www.streambeats.com

Leighton gets excited about her new Ikea table and chairs

Get your own! https://amzn.com/B01IBCVUGG This little motion-detecting LED light has already impressed me a lot. It has a good range of motion detection, and the size makes it super portable and easy to carry in one hand. The little cradle is awesome - you can hang the loop on something or use the included magnet to stick it somewhere useful. This light takes three AAA batteries (not included of course). It comes with the cradle and three options on how you want to hang it. The first is screw-on with the included screws and drywall mounts, then there is double-sided tape, then a magnet. I chose the magnet because of the location of our refrigerator in the entryway. Last night, we had a large storm resulting in a power outage. I walked in late at night, this was the only light that came on and I proceeded to grab it and use it as a flashlight throughout the house. Perfect use case and I am really happy I had this light last night. The motion detection on this light is very sensitive and detects from quite a good range. I am more impressed with this light than I have been with lights triple this price. I received this product at a discount in exchange for my honest review.

Get your own! https://amzn.com/B018EAGOFM I'm impressed with the quality of this product. It has a good weight and multiple functions. This deserves a place in your drawer! The wood inlay is a nice touch and is good quality - it's not just a "painted on" type of effect. The metal is solid, the entire corkscrew has a good weight to it and feels good in your hands.

The ZNE AirFits are an excellent alternative to other extremely expensive offeings. Great sound, great fit (and I typically don't like earbuds), and super compact design. The case acts as a charging base and battery pack for the AirFits, so you can get a lot of hours out of these. To turn them on, just pick them up. If they aren't already paired with a device, the right earbud will automatically connect to the left earbud, which will go in to pairing mode. Connect to ZNT AirFits on your device and you're good to go! There is a single button on each ear bud that offers all the control you will need. Single press to answer a call, single press to hang up, double press to ignore a call. When listening to music, single press to play, single press to pause, and double tap to go to the next track. Pressing and holding the button on the left earbud for 1 second will open up your voice assistant on your phone (be it Siri or Google or other). Get your own! | http://a.co/dl3b3PO

Gary thought he could take a quick walk before the storm got too bad. However, it looks like his walk will have to end sooner than expected. Watch until the end!

Whenever I hear someone say this is a "gaming" mouse or a "gaming" keyboard or a "gaming" mouse pad, I get a little nervous that the term "gaming" is merely being tacked on to the product to appeal to a certain cross-section of consumers. I'm very pleased that's not the case with the Rottay Gaming Mouse Pad, as this thing is the real deal. Super tight responsiveness, great feel, non-slip, and waterproof so it'll wash right off after you knock over your Mountain Dew. I may not be using this for gaming, but I noticed a difference right away. It also comes with a nice little carrying pouch if you need to transport your mouse pad.

The box was not easy to open - I almost had to rip off the box around these since the silicone is a bit sticky. Looking forward to using these.

When Daddy has a PokeBall, chaos ensues.

Get your own! https://amzn.com/B017UEHTNO This is very solid - has a lot of weight to it, which is good for squeezing lemons. It's not so good for your fingers if you happen to get skin caught between the handles - so watch out for that. If I had lemons, I'd make lemonade. I received this product in exchange for my honest review.

If you work at a company with an IT department, you're likely familiar with dealing with "the help desk" in one way or another. I have taught, coached, and managed IT workers on how to handle customers for years, but another thing I like to do is teach customers - and end users - how best to interact with your IT department and what you can do to NOT drive your IT people crazy. music credit: StreamBeats

2-year-old Leighton makes plans for spending her two crisp new $1 bills

These cables work just as good as the other SANGUY USB-C cables I have. I like having the 90-degree end because it allows me to prop up my phone in landscape/horizontal orientation while it's fast-charging. This is great for watching videos (if needed). I always test my USB cables with fast chargers and these cables work great on my Samsung Galaxy S9 with the fast charger. The boot on the 90 degree end is solid and hasn't bent or cracked at all, so I don't feel like I'm stressing it too much when using it as a stand. The length is excellent - 6 feet works great and most of the cables I receive with devices are just too short - 3-5 feet never seems like enough, but 6 to 9 feet always feels more usable and versatile.

I'm not a fan of phone mounts in my car and even less a fan of vent mounts. I have used several mounts over the years for several types of phones and I have only had one or two that worked well and held the phone in a location that was visible while driving. I've been wanting to try a magnetic mount since I saw a review of one a few months ago, so I was happy when Acepro contacted me and asked if I would give an honest review of this product.
