Firmoo Sunglasses- A Review

Firmoo sunglasses

A few weeks ago I received pair of sunglasses from Firmoo for review. I have been looking around for another pair of sunglasses and their offer really was timely. I have perfect vision and have no need for prescription sunglasses so I requested for a pair of sunglasses which design caught my fancy.

It was the first time that I was ordering a pair of sunglasses online and I was skeptical about the quality of the product and whether the sunglasses would require adjusting when I receive it. I know that sometimes what I see on screen may not be the product which I will receive on hand as I have experienced discrepancies in my previous online orders.

I was pleasantly surprised by the pair of sunglasses which I received. Not only were they  well manufactured and light weight, they also fit like a glove. The pair of sunglasses came with both a hard cover casing and a soft cover case. There was also a cleaning cloth and screwdriver kit.

The sunglasses were shipped over within a week of me placing my order and  I like the fact that there is this feature called the “virtual try on” where one can upload your own photo to get a better idea of how your chosen pair of  sunglasses would fit.

Don’t the sunglasses look cool on me?

The only qualm I have with the sunglasses is that it would be great if the tint were a tad darker  or have an indication of the level of UV protection which the sunglasses had. The sun can sometimes get really strong  here living in the tropics and 100% UV protection is a must.  I couldn’t find any information about the level of UV protection that the pair of sunglasses could provide me.

Firmoo is offering all first-time buyers a pair of Free glasses. You just have to pay for shipping and they will ship out to you within a week. They ship internationally to many countries around the world and it’s certainly an enticing offer if you are thinking about getting new prescription glasses or sunglasses.

Wikki Stix- A Review

Wikki stix

 

A few weeks ago I received a packet of Wikki sticks or the kids to try out.  For those who haven’t heard about them they are from the USA and basically  flexible  sticky sticks, which you can twist, bend, and join together to create your  own unique piece of art. They feel extremely sticky to the touch when I initially handle it but after some time the stickiness didn’t bother me too much. It was also relatively easy to clean up any impressions left on furniture using a damp cloth.

The stixs came with a instruction sheet with examples of types of designs that you can create with the sticks.  After reading through the instructions I demonstrated  to the kids how to create a stick man using two different coloured Wikki stixs.

Tiger girl wanted to get her hands on some sticks and was eagerly  watching to see how her brothers were making their masterpieces with it so she could follow suit.

their creations

The boys created  Airplanes with their Wikki Stixs.  I love how they added on the details like the engines and tail with using different colours.  It’s amazing what the kids can come up with the stixs in their hands.

Wikki Stixs are certainly mess free and much more friendly to use then traditional playdough.  They really make good filler activities for the kids on a rainy day.
