Lenovo speaker M0620 Deal!

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Lenovo. All opinions are 100% mine.

Lenovo speaker is a set of external speakers for your computer, though you can use them for more than that!!!  These speakers can be hooked up to not only your computer, but also your laptop, smartphone, or MP3/MP4 player!  On top of all of that these speakers are nice and small which is a perk since the old speakers that I have are really big and bulky and I know how nice it would be to have something nice and small and compact design with great sound quality.

The speakers come with built in amplifliers and a sub-speaker.  having all that is great if you are watching movies, tv shows, or listening to music through these speakers.  I love all of these features because they are of great quality and Lenovo is a well knwn brand that can be trusted as well.

Thes speakers also feature:

• 4 watts of power for high-quality full sound
• A convenient USB-powered connection with energy saving function
• Speaker wire spools for convenient storage
• Elegant yet substantial presentation

You can see why I think that these speakers are something that I want to get for myself.  On top of everything that I have already mentioned these speakers are also on sale!  Isn't that great?  You can get these speakers for $11.99 from 5/15-5/21!  If you are looking for speakers than now is the best time to get some.

What do you think of these speakers?  Do they sound like they are something that you would buy for yourself?  

Litter-Robot Review

Now, I was given the opportunity to review the Litter Robot.  I was more than excited to review this.  I knew what I was getting.  I had read their website and looking over the dimensions and everything, but when I saw the UPS man walking up with this box, mind you it is almost as tall as my recliner, I was like WOW!  This box was HUGE.


My boyfriend was leery.  He kept asking me, "what did you get us!?" I was like don't worry it's not as big as the box, and it's not, but it is still big.   So we unpacked the box and pulled it out.  This was really easy to put together.  You have the base that has the drawer in it, step, and buttons to run the Litter Robot.  You take the top portion and line it up so the lip is in the center on the track which again wasn't hard.

I followed the directions and made sure it was turned off then plugged it in.  Once that was done I had two options I could either pour the cat litter in through the front or turn it on and push the fill button and it would put the waste doors up top for me.  I poured it in through the front and still do even though i did try through those holes.  I just find it easier to do it through the front.  Once that is done you run the cycle which takes approximately 3 minutes.   This lets the machine run and even out the cat litter so that it is nice and flat and even.

The Litter-Robot II Bubble Unit in Beige is the exact model that I was sent and I love it.  The bubble is nice for cats that are bigger or do not like confined spaces.  Neither of my cats seem to care either way. They do their business and are off on their way.

They suggest you do not change the type of cat litter on your cats when you are switching to this litter box.  However you cannot use the pellet litters because they will not sift through.  One of the brands they suggest is World's Best which I had already been using.  So, when I set it up I poured in a new bag and then once I saw my cats in the room I made it spin both were weary.

Deimos, my black cat, tried to stalk it.  He walked really low his eyes slits as he slowly moved toward it while Gonzo my grey striped cat hide beneath a stool in the room.  They quickly adjusted.  I left it off as they started to use it and cleaned it by running it only when they were in the room.  After a week I left it on and I noticed they HAD to watch it clean it.  Then after week two I completely threw out their old litter box.

It didn't take long for my cats to adjust, but then only one of my cats is picky and I think they love how it is always clean.  Now, the only thing I need to tackle is how to teach them to NOT get cat litter all over my house!!! Lol.

I really recommend this litter box in despite of it's price.  The reason I say go spend the $360 on it is because I have been using less cat litter than I was before and it makes a huge difference in cleanliness and over all smell from the cat box.  

Phone Fetcher Review!

I was given the opportunity to review the Phone Fetcher.  This device is a cord that is attached to a clip and has an adapter that plugs into your audio jack in your phone.  It's purpose to create ease in finding your phone without having to dig through a purse, or bag for your phone.

You take the little attachment on the ring and plug it into your headset jack on your cell phone.  This can be annoying if you use a wired headset however most people now are using blue tooth ones that do not need the use of the headset jack anymore.  I don't use either so that wasn't a problem for me.  I just plugged it in.  It slide in real nice and easily and I tugged on it a little and nothing happened.  I also swung it around to see if it would fly off which it didn't.  I thought that the hold was really good.

I really, really loved the idea of this however I did feel like the clip is bulky and seemed like something that wouldn't last over time.  With my hands I found it a little tough to pull open as well.  I know my hands are weaker than others so I wasn't too surprised by this.  I do however also realize the clip was probably chosen to be larger so that the product name could be written on the clip.

Overall I think it is handy however the look of the item is not something that I particularly like.  So, if you are looking for something functional and not looking for trendy then this will work great for you!

I received one or more of the products mentioned above for free using Tomoson.com. Regardless, I only recommend products or services I use personally and believe will be good for my readers.

Safely Clean All Your Gadget Screens Review!

I was given the opportunity to review Clean Screen!! I will admit this up front I am VERY picky when it comes to glass cleaners and cleaners for my electronics.  I want something safe and streak and scratch free!!! So I was nervous, but excited to try this product out.


This product is amazing!  It is streak free, the cloth is soft and it did what it was supposed to.  I had to use some extra sprays on the cloth to clean my whole 47" TV.  It worked wonders on the big 47" TV, the LCD Computer monitor, my laptop screen, the Kindle Fire, and my cell phone screen.  I am really glad that I got to try it out.


I believe however I would prefer the wipes for my smaller screens.  They do have other products available for cleaning your electronics.

"Little" Clean Screen is their wipes for smaller electronics.  I think that these are handy and easy to bring a long and would be something that I would use.  I know that they are made with the same cleaning products so I don' doubt that they would be just ass efficient in cleaning the screens and keeping them streak free!

You can find this product on their Facebook, Twitter, and their Website!  Check them out and let me know what you like the most about this cleaner!

I received one or more of the products mentioned above for free using Tomoson.com. Regardless, I only recommend products or services I use personally and believe will be good for my readers.

Video Games, Movies, and Myth Busters!? Really!?

I was thinking today wondering what you guys all don't know about me.  I realized I have not talked about video games or anything much on here.  I admit I love video games (even if I suck at many of them) and so does my boyfriend.  I am eagerly waiting for Diablo III and Torchlight II to come out!  Well, maybe I should say impatiently waiting.  Lol.  I am constantly watching the media on these two games.  Diablo III is finally coming out in May!!! WooHoo!!!

Anyway, I thought I would share with you my FAVORITE gaming news website out there.  I have been to many and I used to go to Gamespot before my favorite writers and podcasters were fired or quit.  That was back in 2007 since then I have been an avid fan of Giantbomb.  My favorite guys all work here and they have an awesome site!  The guys' are hilarious and they love their fans!  I admit I am constantly at their website watching videos and reading content!


They recently got bought out my ironically Gamestop!!! Lol.  They are staying the same content and such.  I need to tell you that some of the videos are not suited for kids.  These guys do like to curse.  These guys were and are still linked to some of these other websites that I enjoy!

Screened.com is a great movie and television show reference website.  I have enjoyed adding content to the wiki on the website and like it's layout a lot more than IMDB.

Additionally, there is another website that was recently bought out.  Most of you have heard of Myth Busters, tight!?  Well, the two Myth Busters guys just bought this AMAZING website!!  They bought Tested.  If you like electronics then this is perfect for you!!! I LOVE their videos.  They are hilarious and they really are testing out products though not always in the best way. Lol.


I would love to hear what you ALL like about any of these websites.  I wanted to share a little bit of what I enjoy on the internet.  what do you enjoy!?

Outburst Energy Bites Review

Outburst Energy Bites is sponsoring this giveaway!  They provided me with a box of each of their flavors for review.  

I need to start this review by saying that I drink a lot of energy drinks.  I really like how they taste and sometimes I just need a pick me up.  The downfall to energy drinks is that you can't easily just have a couple of sips.  You need to drink it all because they are in cans.

On top of that I have tried the energy shots and to me those taste like cough syrup, not exactly something I want to drink as a pick me up.

Outburst Energy Bites are awesome because they taste like candy and you only eat a couple to be the same value as a full sized energy drink.  

The three flavors that they have are chocolate mint, chocolate, and chocolate peanut.  What I love is that these taste like candy and have no bad after taste like some energy products have.  The candy shell on the outside tastes good and reminds me of other chocolate candies.  

The chocolate peanut ones have a nice sized peanut in the center.  The chocolate mint was very tasty because the mint was not over powering.  I went through the chocolate mint bites first because I liked them so much.  I am a huge mint chocolate fan and these are the ones  that I will be having in the future.  

The other two types were just as good and I went through them all.  I have to admit that these were really nice to have early in the morning and late at night.  I have a tendency to stay up for really long times and then only sleep a couple of hours before I have to be at work the next day.

Overall I have to say that I really love Outburst Energy Bites.  They are much more handy than than energy drinks and shots because you can toss the little box into your purse and just go.  It is also helpful since you can eat as much as you need to use as a pick me up.  I often ate less than one serving in one sitting.

You can find Outburst Energy Bites on their website, Facebook, Twitter, and Google+ pages!
