ClipSee Review


I am a commuter who is in the car many hours each week and recently got a new car that doesn't have Bluetooth.  After having Bluetooth for so long, I was seeking other options to allow me to still have the same convenience. When I saw the ClipSee, I was thrilled to have a hands free option without the need to connect to Bluetooth.


                            ClipSee

The ClipSee speakerphone if iPhone is a new hands-free option that provides secure and convenient positioning for your iPhone 4 or 5. It easily clips onto your shoulder belt and works with most standard sized iPhone cases! 

ClipSee doesn't use:
Bluetooth
headsets
earbuds
batteries
wires

ClipSee
Amplifies speaker sound up to 3X
Positions microphone close to your mouth
holds phone securely in place
has finger guides to easily access functions of phone
easily adjusts to align phone with finger guides
easily clips to shoulder belt
provides secure positioning for your phone

                                                ClipSee

I've been using my ClipSee and have had great results overall with it. I have an older bulkier Otterbox case which made it very tight and hard to remove phone once positioned in place.  It was easy to get my phone into the ClipSee and positioned correctly.  The finger guides worked great, and it had a nice clear sound.  I was able to hear callers easily and they could hear me.  

Overall I would recommend the ClipSee as a great alternative if you don't have Bluetooth capabilities. The ClipSee would make a wonderful gift this holiday season for the techie in your life!  I have been enjoying mine and will continue to use on my daily commutes!

Gurus

I was recently introduced to Gurus sandals and immediately fell in love!  Gurus are a modern twist on a 5,000 year-old Indian classic, inspired by the ancient wooden sandal worn by Mahatma Gandhi.

These sandals are not only comfortable and extremely cute, but they are eco-friendly as well.  They are made from natural sustainably sourced rubber grown right on their families farms where they grew up! 

The run pretty true to size, but I wish i'd gotten mine a size bigger as I like my sandals a bit looser.  The top strap was initially a bit snug, but after wearing them and trying a great suggestion by the founder to twist the strap to make it a little wider I was good to go!




For every pair of shoes sold, they plant a tree!  That is reason enough to go out and buy a pair, or two!!!  They have a variety of beautiful colors and come with an cute dust bag to keep them in when not wearing. You wont be disappointed in these sandals!


These sandals are perfect for the beach, gym, yoga studio, salon to get a pedicure and not worry about smudging your nails, or just out on the town.  


If you haven't tried Gurus sandals yet, I recommend you getting a pair!  I can't wait to get some more in other colors!

For more information, visit their website.  They can also be found on FacebookTwitterInstagramInstagram, and Pinterest.

I sampled the Orange bar and Mandarin liquid soaps, and was very impressed with the quality as well as the scent of the product.  Both have amazing scents that smell like fresh Oranges!  

The Orange bar soap contains Shea Butter so your hands don't feel dried out after using it, and also have Sea Salt to help exfoliate while you wash!  I loved the consistency, smell and everything about their soaps!

I have definitely found my new favorite soaps, and can't wait to purchase their liquid soap to try as well!
