Jimmy's Sticky Jerky

   This week I received some Jimmy's Sticky Jerky to try and review. I love beef jerky so I thought this would be a great product for me to try. I was able to pick two flavors and I chose Beef Sweet and Beef Heat. I chose the sweet one because I enjoy sweet flavored jerky and choose the hot for my friend to try with me.  The name Jimmy's Sticky Jerky certainly fits the product, it was sticky without leaving your fingers coated. It was moist and very flavorful, I really loved the flavoring. It was chewy without making your jaw hurt from chewing. 
   I have to say I was pleasantly surprised by the flavor, usually jerky doesn't have a strong flavor.   This jerky has a great flavor that stays with you as you chew. The flavor seems to have really permeated the meat through and through. It was sweet and very tasty. My friend that tried the heat said the name certainly fit it (Beef Heat). It was very spicy, but she enjoys spicy things. She described it as being very spicy with a sweet aftertaste and chewy yet tender.    
  I would recommend Jimmy's Sticky Jerky to anyone who enjoys beef jerky. It has a wonderful flavor that I think would be enjoyable to anyone who likes jerky.  You should definitely give it a try, I was very happy that I did.
  These are all the many flavors that they offer: Turkey Sweet, Beef Sweet, Beef Black Pepper, Beef Cilantro & Lime, Turkey Heat, Beef Heat and Sweet Heat.

Party 'Tizers Dippin' Chips

      Recently, I tried the Party 'Tizers Dippin' Chips, distributed by, That's how we roll. I tried five different flavors of the chips: Potato (sea salt), Potato (sour cream and onion), Three bean (black bean, red bean and adzuki bean), Super Grains (quinoa, amaranth, and black sesame) and the Veggie (kale, carrot and spinach). The texture of all of them was good and they were shaped great for dipping, they hold as much or as little of the dip as you like. I have to say I was very surprised at the order in which I ended up liking the flavors. I picked the two I thought I would like the best as the two Potato ones (sea salt & sour cream and onion). After tasting them all, with and without dip, my favorite was the Veggie (kale, carrot and spinach). Second I would have to say was the Potato (sour cream and onion). That is not to say that I didn't enjoy the others but those two were my favorite. I really enjoyed the flavor of the Veggie one, the combination of the kale, carrot and spinach surprised me. It tasted great on its own as just a chip to munch on and tasted good with some salsa on it. The Potato (sour cream and onion) I enjoyed because of the saltiness that the sour cream and onion flavoring gave the chip. It was great alone and okay with the salsa as well. My least favorite out of the five was the Three Bean one. It wasn't bad by any means but just tasted like a regular tortilla. It was good with the dip but kind of bland without it. The Super Grain was pretty tasty by itself but not my favorite flavor with and without the dip. I was very surprised that the Potato (Sea Salt) was not my top pick. I love salty chips but to me it just tasted like a regular tortilla and didn't seem to have much salty taste to it. It was okay with the salsa but just very bland without.  
I invited my friend over to try them with me.  She enjoyed the Super Grain one most. She likes sesame seeds and said that she could really taste it in the chip, she enjoyed it with and without the salsa. Her second pick was the Potato (sour cream and onion). She said it had great flavor for a flavored chip, very salty. She enjoyed it by itself most but said it was good with the salsa too. Her least favorite was the Three Bean, not that it was bad, just that it tasted like a regular tortilla chip. Good with dip but kind of bland without.
I would recommend these to anyone who enjoys chips and dip. I think they would be great for any type of get together or just for munching. Great for dipping and good taste overall. A definite must try in my book.

Thera Pearl Neck Wrap

The neck wrap from Thera Pearl, (http://www.therapearl.com/products/neck-wrap/), worked wonders when I used it on my neck and upper shoulders. I warmed it up in the microwave to help relieve some of the sore muscle aches that I have in my shoulders and neck. I heated the neck wrap in the microwave for about 30 seconds and sat with it on for between 10 to 15 minutes. After the first 5 to 7 minutes I felt the muscle tension seem to lessen some. I sat back with my feet up, eyes closed and just relaxed with the heat. It did wonders for my shoulders and neck. I use the computer a lot and because I do, I tend to have some muscle soreness in that area. 
      I would definitely recommend using any of the products from Thera Pearl after using the neck wrap. In fact, I did just that, I brought it over to my friends house for her mother to use. She has a pinched nerve in her upper back. The pinched nerve in her back causes the muscles in her neck and shoulders to ache and feel tight most of the time. I warmed it up for her and put it on her back for 10 minutes. She said it eased the pain that she had been having all day. Later that evening before I left I warmed it up for her again and she put with it on for about 15 minutes. The next day, her daughter (my friend), told me that she slept better that night than she had in awhile. Her shoulders and neck didn't make her twist and turn as much and she didn't remember waking up once because of it.  
This is a great product that I think many people could benefit from for aches and pains of any kind. I would definitely recommend the neck wrap for anyone with neck and upper shoulder aches and pains.

Logitech digital speakers for desktop

The Logitech digital speakers work great for my desktop. When my speakers went out a few months ago I searched for a decent priced set of speakers that worked well.  I found these during my search and thought they were the best price for what I wanted and needed.  The sound is really good, there is no static no matter how loud my kids play their music lol.  Overall it was a really great price for a good set of speakers.  I am very happy with them and would recommend anyone looking for a set of speakers to check these out.  They are truly worth every penny spent lol even though it wasn't a bunch of pennies spent.

Epson Workforce 545 a 4 in 1 Printer

Epson Workforce 545 a 4 in 1 Printer.  (print, copy, fax and scan)  I have had this Epson for two years.  It works great, I love that I can fax from home.  It saves me from having to run around trying to find a place to fax.  It prints, copies, faxes and scans with absolutely no problems.  My family and I use it quite often to print anything from pictures to book reports.  The color is great when using color.  It scans pictures and papers clearly, it is never fuzzy or illegible.  I would and have recommend this printer to anyone that is in the market for one.

Vtech cordless house phone

I bought this Vtech cordless house phone about 6 months ago. It is everything that I want in a phone. It has a clear sound, speaker phone and caller ID display. It is a 2 handset combo. We can spend hours on the phone and the battery holds up very well. It is inexpensive and it gets the job done with extras. I would definitely recommend this phone. Thank you for reading my review,

I bought this Dell, Inspiron 570 desktop about 4 years ago and I have been very satisfied with it. It has never let me down. I do alot surfing on the web, play games, facebook, email and save pictures on it. I have overloaded this computer and have never had a problem with it. It still runs just as fast as it did when I first bought it. Thank you for reading my review,
