For frequent readers of my blog, you might already know that I’m a Certified Occupational Therapy Assistant at a trauma hospital as my day job.  What does my job entail?  The shortest version is that I work with people after an accident or illness to get them back to being as independent as possible with things they do in a normal day.  That would include functional tasks like: brushing their teeth, getting dressed, getting out of bed, getting into the bathroom, or cooking as examples.  To a lot of us those all seem simple but for someone who just had a stroke, or has several broken limbs after an accident these tasks can be frustrating and even difficult.

As any work department does, we have budgets.  They try to get us the equipment we need but in a decent size hospital, equipment sometimes grows legs.  Canes seem to be a hot item and we do use them with our patients often.  I received the Sabi Sport All Terrain Cane.  It is light weight cane with a comfortable handle and air cushioned rubber based tip.

 

You can see they come in several different colors.  I’m going to quote a line from Sabi here because I like it: “SPORT takes its inspiration from those differently-abled athletes out there who take adversity in stride. For them, we designed an all-terrain, lightweight cane for those times when you need a little boost to hike that extra mile; climb that higher mountain; or camp that extra night.”  I think this cane would also be a good option for the small framed elderly patient since it is light weight but sturdy.

These canes are not adjustable and need to be bought to fit you.  Sabi has a helpful sizing chart available to help you pick the right cane for you or your loved one.

To measure for a cane you should have your arm at your side.  Have someone measure from your wrist to the floor  and this will give you the appropriate measurement. You want to be able to stand tall while using the cane and not hunched over.  You also don’t want it to high or it may not give you the support needed.

I’m 5’4″ so the small cane was the right choice for me.  I received the Sabi SPORT All-Terrain Cane in the olive color.  I plan on donating the cane to my hospital so it can be used with our patients.  It will get plenty of use there.  I liked the comfort of holding onto the cane. I tried walking around with it.  The air cushioned tip worked well to cushion when setting the cane down.  The cane is very light weight but sturdy.  For those that are concerned about BPA, this cane is BPA free.  They also have custom size available for an additional cost if your height doesn’t fit into the standard options available.  The cane tip is replaceable so if you end up wearing your tip out you can get another one.

Majestical Jewelry is a boutique jewelry store that’s available online.  They sell premium jewelry at 20-90% off retail prices.  That sounds good to me.  They advertise that the charms they offer are compatible with many other big name brands like Pandora, Troll, and other notable names.  If an item states it’s silver it is 925 sterling silver, no plating here.  Even the pearls are guaranteed authentic.  That being said you can find a piece of jewelry on their site to fit your budget anywhere from just a few dollars to a couple hundred.

Besides the affordable prices I like that they offer unique looking jewelry that I don’t see everywhere else.  I love the Rice Freshwater Pearl bracelet on their site and it’s only $30 right now!  I received a random piece of jewelry from their site to review.  I had no idea what I would be getting.  I received the earrings pictured below.  They came in a classy jewelry box with a jewelry bag to keep them in.

 

 

These earrings are listed under the fashion jewelry section.  And their called “What an Earring” which is appropriate.  These earrings are meant to be seen and make a statement.  They are quite long measuring from the top of the actual earring to the bottom of the longest feather extension they measure about 3.5 inches long.

 

Big bold earrings aren’t typically my personality but I can appreciate the quality of these earrings.  I’m not sure what type of metal these are made, it’s light weight but not flimsy.  So even though they are large to pick them up they hardly have any weight to them.  There are many details in this pair of earrings from the raised design on the tear drop shaped part a the top to the details in the feather extensions.

If you are looking for real pearls, amethysts, turquoise, and other precious stones, you can also find pieces on Majestical Jewelry.  As I said, something for every budget. Even with that the prices on the semi-precious and precious stones are still a good deal when you compare them to other sites.

There are so many gorgeous pieces on www.majestical.com. I encourage you to check them out.  I’d love to know what you’re favorite piece is.

I love my tech devices, my iphone, my Kindle Fire, my digital camera, etc.  My kids love their tech too. There are certain prime charging outlets in our house.  The ones that keep our devices up off the ground, out of reach of the baby, and so you don’t forget about them charging.  Probably the favorite charging place is the outlet right by my computer . We’ll all charge your devices there because they can sit on top of the printer and are convenient to get at.  The problem is everyone wants to use that outlet and of course it can take a few hours to charge some of the devices.  My boys have been known to unplug each others devices to charge their own, then arguments start.

RAVPower has the perfect solution for my family. RAVPower® Bolt 30W/6A 4-Port Rapid Charging Station   This chargers only uses one outlet but can charge up to 4 devices at a time. It can charge anything from our Kindle Fires, our iphones, the travel chargers I have, and more.  Pretty much if the charger you have has a usb plug on the other end you can charge it with this.

This is one of our typical charging sessions lol.  2 Kindles, my iphone, and the travel charger (also a RAVPower product).  The RAVPower Bolt did a great job of charging all our devices.  It did not seem to effect the charging time of the devices at all.  I know I’m loving it because it’s definitely cut down on the arguments over “who unplugged my Kindle!” and “You can’t sit there and play on it while you’re charging it that’s not fair!”  Yep one happy mom here. The fact that this charger is available on Amazon right now for only $19.99 make it an even better deal!

RAVPower also sent me the RAVPower® Luster Cube 6000mAh Backup External Battery Pack Power Bank Charger  I love having these for the kids on road trips. They can take their kindles and rechargeable hand held gaming devices and use this to help extend the life of their battery.  I’ve seen and even used a number of power bank type devices but I honestly think this is one of the nicer looking ones I’ve seen.

This back up power bank comes in 4 different colors.  When you received it, you also get a bag to store it in and of course an instruction booklet.  You can charge charge this device several different ways either through an outlet with an AC adapter, through a PC USB port, or of course like I did with the use of the RAVPower Bolt.

 

I have the AC Adapter plugged in on the left but you can see there is also a USB plug for this device too. So pretty much, a lot of charging cords you have at home from a camera, tablet, smartphone, etc can work with this device to charge it.  Another feature that makes this power bank better than others is ….you see that little clear circle in the picture above between the charging ports?  That’s actually an LED flashlight.  If the device is fully charged it says the flashlight can remain lit for up to 250 hours!! That’s another great reason to take this with you when you travel.  Duel purpose, battery life extender and a flashlight in one!

The RAVPower Luster Cube is normally $79.99 but it’s on sale on Amazon right now for only $29.99.  If you’re looking for a travel battery life extender, I would definitely recommend this one.  Both of these electronics chargers worked well for my family and have been getting daily use in the 2 weeks I’ve been testing them.
