Fuego Elite Performance Unisex Athletic Crew Socks Review + #Giveaway 6/15 US

I use good, quality athletic socks when we go biking or when I workout because first of all, my feet sweats more so I need something that wouldn't cause my feet to be smelly afterwards. Second, it stays on securely and wouldn't slide down even when I move a lot. When I was chosen to try the Fuego Elite Performance Unisex Athletic Crew Socks, I was quite excited because this is the first time I've heard about this brand and I like trying out products from new brands.

The Fuego Elite Performance Unisex Athletic Crew Socks arrived in a nice black box. It has 2 colors available which are white/blue and white/grey. There are also several sizes available from Small to Extra Large.

I was quite impressed on the quality of the Fuego Elite Performance Unisex athletic Crew Socks. It has a thick and soft material. It is also a bit stretchy and I like how nice it looked. From the company, some features of the Fuego Socks are:

- "Y" shaped deep heel pocket and elastic bands the socks do not slide down
- socks have silver content which eliminates feet odor, conduct sweat and keep feet dry. 
- Seamless toe closure secures maximum softness and eliminates abrasion

Each Fuego sock is also labeled with an L and an R so that the socks wouldn't be interchanged. I think this is unique because I've never really had a socks with a left and right label.

True to the product's description, the Y shaped deep heel pocket makes these socks more secure. It doesn't slide down even with the more extreme movements in my workout. These also helped with my sweaty feet during workout and I noticed that my feet aren't as sweaty as my regular socks. I also like that my feet is odorless after a workout.

The socks are comfortable to wear and I like how it doesn't force my toes to pool in the middle. These socks gives me the comfort of my big toe, the side close to my smaller toe, not hurting after an intensive workout. I also like how durable these socks are and I like that these retained their original form and look after washing and drying a couple of times.

I love these high quality elite performance athletic crew socks and I recommend this to those who play sports or are active.

Wholesale, Quality Clothing From Apparel N Bags Review

I have a lot of plain shirts at home because as a stay-at-home mom, I prefer to wear quality, comfortable shirts over the stylish ones most of the time. How can I move around the house when my clothes aren't comfortable right? So, I stock up on comfortable, quality but affordable shirts since they're my go-to clothes most of the time.

Apparel N Bags offers quality clothes and accessories in low, wholesale prices. I chose this District DT270 Juniors Textured Girly Crew Tee from them and I love the quality of this shirt.

It has a nice, red color with some darker spots of black/blue.

The red color isn't the bright red but it has a subtle hint of maroon in it. I really like the color and the fit is also very nice. The fabric used is soft and the thickness is perfect for the warmer weather but not too thin to make the shirt see-through.

Aside from shirts, Apparel N Bags offers different brands of clothes for men, women and kids as well as accessories like bags, headwear and outerwear. I like that I can find shirts as low as $2.31 which for me is a nice price. I also like how buying in bulk makes the price even lower on most of their products. Shipping is super fast as well which I think is great.

Men's Bodega 8 Pc. Men's Tie Bar Tie Clip Set Review

A tie clip isn't just a fancy accessory but it helps keep the tie in place. Who would want a tie accidentally swinging or drooping to a bowl of fruit punch right? Well, fortunately, that haven't happened to hubby yet so before it happens, he always puts on a tie clip.

Men's Bodega offers a variety of men's accessory and I was lucky enough to be sent their 8-pc. Men's Tie Bar Clip Set.

 The 8-pc. Men's Tie Bar Tie Clip Set I received arrived in a fancy black box, which made me think that this would be a perfect gift for dads, grandfathers, uncles, or anyone who loves tie clips. The box contained 8 different tie clips which are 2 1/4 inch in length and 1/4 inch in width.

There are 6 silver colored tie clips, 2 of them with a black accent, and 2 gold tie clips. I like the variety and the colors included because the colors are neutral which makes them easy to pair up with almost any color of tie. They are also heavy duty and pretty well made.

These tie clips look classy and sophisticated and I like how they come in a set of different styles because these can be mixed and matched. The variety of tie clips included in this set gives hubby the option to choose which clip he prefer depending on his mood.

SKORCH Waterproof Backpack Review

A few months back, hubby and his biking friends still went out for their biking session even if it was raining. He said that they all agreed to brave the rain and still go biking. When he got home, he was wet as well as his backpack, clothes, shoes and, well, everything. The Skorch Waterproof Backpack came a bit too late but I couldn't contain my excitement because I can try this out when we go to the beach OR when hubby decides to go biking in the rain again. LOL.

Here is a quick product description from the company:

Dry Bag Backpack - Waterproof Durable Black with White SKORCH Branding and Black Padded Shoulder Straps | Kayaking, Canoeing, Hiking, Skiing, Jet Skiing, Swimming, Paddleboarding, Boating, Cycling Dry Sack. Exciting Product Successfully Funded Through Kickstarter. Size 10x16 inches (1220 Cubic inches | 20 Liter)

The SKORCH Waterproof Backpack arrived quickly. It is a bit heavy and has that tarpaulin feel which makes it really waterproof. The inside of the bag only has 1 compartment but I like that I can put a small backpack/bag inside to keep the contents more organized and of course waterproof.

The instructions were printed on the bag itself on how to use the backpack and it is easy to understand. I like how comfortable the straps are. They are adjustable and that's nice because either me or hubby can use it.

The SKORCH Waterproof Backpack isn't as stylish as other bags but I honestly like it because I'm assured that our things would be protected from water (even big splashes of water) if we use this bag.

Non-Skid Socks From Pembrook Review

My feet get cold easily during winter or whenever the weather becomes colder. So, I always wear socks 24 hours a day during winter time to keep my feet warm.

When I received the Non-Skid Socks from Pembrook, my initial reaction was they are really soft and fuzzy. I like the colors I received specially the pink one because it's so pretty.

The Pembrook Non-Skid Socks is made of Chenille Material (Cotton, Polyester and Spandex Blend). They are stretchy and as I've previously said, super soft. They keep my feet warm and yet it's breathable.

There are rubber strips at the bottom of the socks so that it helps prevent my feet from slipping in our
hardwood floor and bathroom. I also like that I don't have to wear slippers anymore when I'm at home when I'm using the Pembrook Non-skid Socks.

I like how comfortable the Pembrook Non-Skid Socks area and I love how they keep my feet warm. I've washed them a couple of times already and the material is still the same way as when I first received the socks.

Valhalla SkinSafe Undercover Holster Wallet Review

When we're traveling or when hubby and I goes biking, we both like to be secured with our belongings specially our wallet, passport, cellphone, cards and cash.

When I received the Valhalla SkinSafe Undercover Holster Wallet, I immediately thought that I can use this when we're biking.

The Valhalla SkinSafe Undercover Wallet arrived very quickly. It has a gray color with 2 zippered pockets in front. It has two straps, one which goes over the neck and one that goes around my waist.

The material of the Valhalla SkinSafe Undercover Holster is lightweight and thin yet it is durable and can hold my valuables. The zippered pockets are nice because they keep my valuables inside without the worry of them slipping out of the holster. I like that there are 2 zippers to keep my valuables in different pockets (e.g. cash in 1 pocket and cards in the other one).

The straps are soft, stretchy and they are adjustable. I like that it's adjustable because hubby or me can use it. Wearing the Valhalla SkinSafe Undercover is comfortable which again is nice.

I like that we can use this when traveling or in outdoor activities such as biking. It keeps our valuables safe and it's easy and comfortable to use.

iGotTech Texting Gloves For Smartphones And Tablets Review

During the winter months, I use gloves to keep my hands and fingers warm. But, the only problem is, when I need to use my phone, I have to remove my gloves in order to use my phone because my gloves wouldn't make the touchscreen work.

When I received the iGotTech Texting Gloves, I was happy to see if it would work so that I can use it during the colder months.

There are 2 colors available and I chose the light grey and pink option. The iGotTech Texting Gloves arrived quickly. The gloves feel soft and there are light pink details on the thumb and first two fingers.

There is a label on the wrist part of the gloves which I think is okay.

The first three fingers on the iGotTech gloves has a different, lighter colored finger tip and a light pink line. These are the 3 fingers which can be used for the touchscreen of my phone.

The last 2 fingers which has a similar color to the rest of the gloves can't be used for the touchscreen of my phone and tablet.

The iGotTech Texting Gloves is a one size fit all but it fits my hands perfectly. I have small hands and find that most one size fit all gloves is almost always too big for me.

The gloves are soft and stretchy. It neither feels uncomfortable nor weird when I wear them. I like how I can still move my fingers freely without any restrictions. It's effective in keeping my hands warm and I like how I can use my smartphone without having to remove the gloves anymore.

For every pair we ship, we also donate a pair to a child in need.

I like companies who give back to charities or to those in need. When I heard about Sharing Small, I was quite happy when I learned about their sock subscription wherein they donate a pair of socks to a child in need for every pair they ship.

I received 2 pairs of socks from Sharing Small and I was quite impressed at how soft the socks were. The color combination, which is sky blue and yellow, is really cute. There is an image of 2 stick persons on a parachute which I think is really cute. The package also came with a matching postcard and a sticker telling about the adventure printed on the socks.

The socks from Sharing Small are made of:

Material Blend: 75% Combed Cotton, 23% Spandex, 2% Elastic
