Pickpocket Proof Accessories: Oscaurt Anti-Theft Laptop Backpack

November 14, 2017 · 4 Comments

We often carry valuable gear to work and school, and even on vacation. And when we travel, we generally tend to carry our tablet, laptop, camera gear and other expenses wares. But not just any laptop backpack will keep your valuables safely concealed and protected while in transit. And it is not just the cost of the gear, it’s also your work product and photos at risk. To keep these valuables safely concealed with the Oscaurt Anti-theft Travel Backpack Laptop Bag with USB Charging Port, a bag that is stylish enough to look professional but safe enough to carry your most valuable laptops.

The stylish Oscaurt Anti-theft Travel Backpack Laptop Bag with USB Charging Port holds my iMac, tablet, wallet and drawing tablet safely while I walk around campus and work. And it’s silver/black color scheme looks great

OVERVIEW

The Oscaurt Anti-Theft Laptop Backpack is a stylish and ergonomically built, well padded and sturdy backpack that safely holds a concealed laptop and wares in padded inner pockets, as well as multiple internal hidden zipper pockets and sleeves for concealing valuables like cash, passports, phones, tablets, credit cards, as well as work accessories including space for paper presentations, USBs, glasses, pens, paperwork, and even jewelry. With its’ accessible water bottle compartment and built-in USB charger port, it is ideal for the fashionable overnight traveler who carries expensive laptops, cameras, drawing tablets and other equipment around campus or work, or for those who commute or walk through crowded areas with valuable items they wish to keep safe.

Deep inside pockets and zippered pockets can keep cash, phones, passports and other items handy yet safe

INTENDED USE

This bag is intended for the needs of an adult professional, traveler or student who carries their laptop with them for professional, academic or personal use. Whereas junior high school style bags have large capacity single space compartments to accommodate textbooks and a lunchbox, that style backpack can’t protect valuable electronics. The Oscaurt Anti-Theft backpack is geared for adults who carry a laptop to work or school, and it is ideal for someone who likes to work remotely at a coffee shop because they can carry their laptop and all their supplies neatly in all the pockets, it’s like having a portable office stored safely within a convenient backpack!

Carry everything you need to work away from the office

DESIGN AESTHETIC

The Oscaurt Anti-Theft laptop backpack is made with a color scheme of black and metallic silver with a light sheen that matches nicely with many colors, such as this icy pink, platinum, and purple variegated blouse.  The colors are neutral and work for both males and females.

It looks like a regular stylish backpack so it does not alert thieves or pickpockets to the fact that it holds valuable electronics

No need to worry about laptops slipping out of the secure padded cases

Even when overstuffed, the backpack’s waterproof material is highly durable and retains its’ shape

THE BAG IN ACTION: DESIGN FEATURES

  • WIDE PADDED SHOULDER STRAPS: The shoulder straps are wide so the weight is evenly distributed and does not strain the shoulders or back, the straps are also padded so it does not leave marks or wrinkles on work clothing

Wide, comfortably padded shoulder straps make the bag ergonomically friendly to carry

Thick Padding on Shoulder Straps

Underside of padded shoulder straps

The side view of the padded shoulder straps:

COMFORT PADDING: The shoulder straps and inside back of the backpack have a quilted impact cushion back for maximum comfort and ergonomic carrying of heavy items.

Quilted impact absorbing padding that lays against the upper back when worn

  • WATER BOTTLE SIDE POCKETS: Side pockets can hold a water bottle safely away from electronics and valuables within an accessible but deep and wide pocket

Overhead view of deep side pockets

Two side pockets to hold water bottles or coffee thermoses

  • PICKPOCKET-PROOF ANTI-THEFT CONCEALED ZIPPER: Deter pickpockets and thieves from identifying access to your bag contents with the hidden zipper. The zipper of the main pocket is fully hidden in the back of this bag, no theft will easily open your backpack.

An overflap, seen here flipped up, normally folds down and completely conceals this zipper, keeping the contens hidden and safe

  • HANDLE: Secure, easy to carry, ergonomic handle of ease of hand carrying

The handle is padded, secure, and ergonomically easy to carry without chafing the skin

HIDDEN LAPTOP COMPARTMENT: Spacious enough to hold a 15.6″ laptop without appearing like a laptop case

Internal laptop sleeve can hold laptops, drawing tablets and devices

Thick and well-stitched velcro adhered strap keeps valuable electronics safe

Sturdy velcro strap keeps laptops in place

  • NIGHT SAFETY REFLECTIVE TAPE: This is a feature I have never seen in an adult laptop case before and it is an excellent idea: there’s reflective tape on the front of the bag to make the bag conspicuous at night, making it safer to walk at night. If you take night classes, this is very worthwhile for walking home or to your car. Most professionals dressed for work would not be wearing any reflective clothing, so this makes night time classes so much safer. This also makes the bag very useful for those who work the night shift or late hours, such as in a hospital.

INSIDE POCKET FEATURES

The inside of the backpack has a padded laptop sleeve that holds laptops up to 15″ and if the laptop is slim, up to 15.6″. There are also multiple hidden open and zippered pockets for storing valuables

  • USB CHARGE PORT CABLE: External USB with built-in charging cable offers a convenient charging of your electronic device on the go, such as phones or tablets.

USB

  • CONVENIENT SIZE AND CAPACITY: Not too big to carry yet large enough to hold all your in-transit computer needs. The size is 11.02″ x 4.92″x 16.93″ inches.
  • MULTI-COMPARTMENT: for holding a computer mouse, earbuds, headphones, VR equipment

Deep pockets to hold notebooks, gear, wallets, glasses, camera cases, etc.

  • ZIPPERED POCKETS: to hold small items such as keys, pens, wallets, cellphones, books, credit or gift cards, etc. SO MANY POCKETS!

Pen loops, deep pocket for hand sanitizer and lip gloss, zippered pocket for cash, passport, phone

Hidden pockets everywhere!

Hidden wallet compartment is completed concealed but easily accessible

MY EXPERIENCE USING THE BAG

The bag is sturdy and holds my laptop safely as well as all my gear including a sketchbook, notepad, my tablet, scarf, my bento lunch box, my computer glasses and sunglasses, my phone and other gear. There is room to store my drawing tablet in addition to my laptop. The laptop compartment is padded and safe.

The material holds up well, it is a high-quality EVA. I like this because if I overpack the bag, it will not damage it or stretch it out.

Even when I overpack my scarf, laptop, tablet, bento box, snack, wares and other items, it zips closed and retains its’ shape

It is comfortable carrying it both by the shoulder straps and by the handle. I really like that the back of the case has a special padded material that both creates a cushion and reduces heat conduction so that it is comfortable to carry the backpack even in hot weather.

Full view of the padding on the inside back of the backpack

The hidden zipper is easy to access if you know where it is, and the side pockets are deep enough to accommodate my oversized water bottle without tipping over.

The USB Port cable is very useful when using my laptop at a coffee shop and I want to charge my phone while I work.

MAKES FOR A GREAT GIFT

Are you looking to buy a gift? The Oscaurt Anti-Theft Laptop Backpack makes for a great gift for either a man or woman, especially a student, a commuter, a traveler, a website designer, artist, computer programmer, techie, consultant, photographer, writer, blogger, teacher or any professional who carries a laptop with them and wishes to keep the laptop concealed. Know someone who likes to take their laptop to do their work at a coffee shop? This laptop case is ideal for them, there is even a pocket to stash away a Starbucks gift card for a coffee emergency!

CONCLUSION

A sturdy, stylish laptop backpack with enhanced security features, water bottle pocket, and numerous storage options makes an ideal travel laptop case for professionals and students. With unique features like waterproof material, USB port charging cable and safety night light reflector tape, the Oscaurt Anti-Theft Laptop Backpack creates a portable office on the go to work while traveling, consulting at a clients’ office, taking night classes and working from a coffeehouse or any other remote location, while keeping your laptop and gear securely held in a theft-proof designed encasement.

HELP DRY HAIR ORGANICALLY: Royal Formula Argan Oil Hair Mask

October 29, 2017 · 7 Comments

We’ve long said goodbye to summer, but the sun, saltwater sea waves, and breezy wind stay with us. Not metaphorically, but literary by how they dry and damage the hair, especially delicate curly hair. If you have any texture or curl to your hair, summer can really do a number on you, causing unruly frizz and brittle, dryness to your locks, and a loss of curl manageability. Yearning for sleek, shiny smooth Veronica Lake hairstyles to go with your my autumn and fall wardrobe? Then it’s time for a hair intervention. We tried Royal Formula Deep Conditioning Argan Oil Hair Mask, an organic formula of luxe ingredients that smoothes the frizzies, make hair feel thicker, strong, soft, shiny and manageable again.

Royal Formula Argan Oil Hair Mask

WHAT IS ALL THE FUSS ABOUT ARGAN OIL?

Argan Oil is very popular for topical skin care, but how do you use it to revitalize hair? Argan Oils’ claim to fame is promoting hair strength and hair growth, which means application directly at the scalp level and massaging it in well. The problem is straight Argan Oil is difficult to wash off, and it can suffocate the scalp, trapping oils and dry skin, which causes more dry hair problems. Argan Oil also works on the hair body itself, by coating the hair shaft, which is a boost for curly hair that has been damaged and is extra porous. The result is it adds a glossy, natural shine and gives a smoother appearance to split ends and lifeless hair. While Argan Oil is highly effective, it works best when paired with other key ingredients, such as within a hair mask.

Argan Oil works best when combined with other ingredients in a hair mask like the Royal Formula Argan Oil Hair Mask

ABOUT ROYAL FORMULA DEEP CONDITIONING ARGAN OIL HAIR MASK

Royal Formula Deep Conditioning Argan Oil Hair Mask is a luxurious, creamy-textured hair conditioning mask gives more manageable, silky-smooth, healthier looking hair. The smell is pleasant and clean. The combination of ingredients makes for an all-in-one conditioning formula that addresses whatever is making your hair lifeless, whether it is too much sun, pool chlorine, or over-use of hot styling tools, overprocessed hair coloring, too much processing, or a combination of any of the above.

Royal Formula Argan Oil Hair Mask comes in an 8-ounce container, but you only need a dollop even for very long, thick hair

WHAT ROYAL FORMULA ARGAN OIL HAIR MASK CAN DO FOR HAIR

  • Add Shine without being greasy
  • Make hair feel soft and touchable
  • Promote New Hair Follicle Growth
  • Improve Scalp health
  • Restore and Strengthens Hair
  • Improve Manageability

Royal Formula Argan Oil Hair Mask is a luxe, creamy formula that restores strength, adds shine, makes hair resilient and so soft

WHAT KIND OF HAIR CAN ROYAL FORMULA ARGAN OIL HAIR MASK HELP?

All hair types can benefit from the shiny imparting restoration of this hair mask, especially hair that is dry, damaged, Color-Treated, Bleached or chemically processed. If you use hot styling tools, Argan Oil can do wonders for the hair.  Not only will hair be more manageable and sleek after conditioning, but the Argan Oil helps the hair withstand the heat of a flat iron. Hot tools dry out the hair and rough up the hair shaft. Royal Formula Argan Oil Hair Mask restores moisture into the hair shaft.

INGREDIENTS:

Made of high quality, organic ingredients, Royal Formula Argan Oil Hair Mask contains:

  • Pure Argan Oil: coats the hair shaft to condition, nourish, soften and smooth the hair, imparting a healthy shine. This formulation uses the Highest Quality Cosmetic Grade Pure Argan Oil.
  • Almond Oil contains Omega-3 fatty acids, phospholipids, vitamin E, and magnesium. It nourishes and strengthens damaged hair, making it silky and shiny again. It also reduces hair loss and makes hair more elastic. Almond Oil is also a carrier oil, meaning it helps other oils and ingredients penetrate and absorb. Almond Oil is excellent for brittle hair, damaged hair, dry and over processed hair.
  • Hydrolyzed Silk: works for stressed, depleted hair by reducing hair breakage by building protein bonds in the hair to make it strong and shiny again. It is “Hydrolyzed”, or broken down in water, from pure silk fibers into silk amino acids which are small enough to penetrate the hair follicle and scalp.
  • Pro-Vitamin B-5 or Pantothenic acid helps hair grow and improves the appearance, volume, and elasticity of hair.

What it does NOT contain: No sodium, parabens or sulfates.

Royal Formula Argan Oil Hair Mask is a thick luxe formulation that contains high-quality natural ingredients to restore hair inside and out

MY RESULTS:

My hair is about mid-back length, a bit past my bra strap. It is naturally dry and I frequently style with hairdryer and hot rollers, so it requires regular conditioning to stay in shape. Lately, my ends are looking dry, thinner and straggly. It also doesn’t have much movement, it just sort of sits there, somewhat lifeless. So it is time for a bigger trim if I can’t get my hair conditioned back into shape. Recently I have been doing blowouts, and it has taken a toll on my hair as it is more hot styling tool use than I usually tend to use.

FIRST IMPRESSIONS:

Royal Formula Argan Oil Hair Mask is creamy and thick with a very luxe feel. The scent is pleasant and clean. It rinses out easily. I could feel my hair felt stronger even in the shower during my final rinse.

TO USE: Emulsify the conditioner in your hand and apply it to the scalp and hair length. Comb it through with a wide tooth comb.

Royal Formula is a thick, creamy formula that is not greasy. A dollop covered my mid-back length hair

FIRST USE

After one five minute treatment, my hair has less frizz, feels stronger and thicker and was easier to style. My curls no longer felt “crunchy”. I am very pleased with how it “plumped up” my fragile hair ends look and the appearance of split ends is minimized, as my hair appears less porous on the whole.

Wind in my hair on an autumnal afternoon, but my curls stayed frizz free and so soft all day after one Royal Formula Argan Oil Hair Mask treatment

It conditions hair without leaving a residue, which I like.

SECOND USE

I did a second treatment a few days later, where I left the hair mask conditioner in for about an hour and the second time my hair gained back movement and swing, even after blow drying and hot roller styling, it looked and felt so healthy and strong. It doesn’t take much product to coat and treat the hair.

I plan on using it about once a week and after coloring my hair or after heavy hot styling tool use to keep my hair looking healthy and feeling so soft and touchable. It can be used up to three times a week. While it does a very good job in five minutes, I like using it as a leave-in mask for about an hour for intensive conditioning.

Royal Formula Argan Oil Hair Mask restores vibrancy, bounce, and shine

CONCLUSION

Royal Formula Argan Oil Hair Mask is a luxe formulation of vital hair replenishing ingredients, this hair mask is ideal for hair that needs to recover from over-processing, coloring, hot styling tools, or too much summer sun. While I am still doing a hair trim, it will be more of a dusting than cutting off a few inches. Yay, Royal Formula Argan Oil Hair Mask! I am very pleased to be able to keep as much hair length because the mask brought my hair back to life. I like the organic formula that contains a cosmetic grade Argan combined with Almond Oil, B5, and Silk Proteins to make my hair look so much healthier and feel so very soft.

Why Bombozi Organic Bath Bombs are a Perfect Handmade Gift

October 24, 2017 · 12 Comments

Nothing beats a relaxing soak in the tub, which is in part, why Bath Bombs, A.K.A. “Fizzies”, are so popular. A great gift for moms, sisters, friends, and yourself, Bath Bombs are delightful to receive. There are three problems with bath bombs, however, some contain harsh chemicals you may not wish to bathe in, bath bombs can be pricey and they often come at the price of lots of post-bath clean-up. None of these is an issue with the organic Bath Bombs by Bombozi. Enriched with essential oils and softening Shea Butter, you will feel safe using or giving Bombozi Bath Bombs as you’ll recognize every ingredient listed on the gift box.

Bath Bombs by Bombozi have all natural ingredients like Olive Oil, Baking Soda, Shea Butter, Honey, Epsom Salts, Marigold, Essential Oils and Citric Acid to soften skin safely and naturally

  • “Hand Grenade” – Mandarin scent, I especially liked this one, it smelled very authentic without being too sweet

Mandarin

  • “Drop Bear” – Vanilla scented

Vanilla

  • “Monster Bomb” – Coconut scented

Coconut

QUALITY

Despite the affordable price point, these are luxury quality bath bombs, I find them comparable to those sold at $10+ per bomb at specialty shops, but they do not contain ingredients that can stain the tub or leave a residue on the skin.

Note the subtle natural shimmer and texture of the bomb, but it does not stain the tub or leave a ring of residue

CRUELTY-FREE

The bath-bombs are cruelty-free. Bombozi does not test on animals, and each bomb is produced without exploitation of people or planet. You can, however, be comfortable using them, as the ingredients are clearly listed on the packaging and are known to be safe even for sensitive skin.

HOW TO USE THE BATH BOMBS BY BOMBOZI

  1. Fill the bathtub at least halfway with warm running water. Add one bath bomb into the running water.
  2. Let it dissolve in water. Crumble it by hand if you wish to make it dissolve faster, or watch it spin around the tub creating fuzzy foam!
  3. Get in and relax!
  4. Each bath bomb will last for about 10-20 before maximum moisturizing benefits are derived.
  5. Towel dry and massage in the moisturizing effects left on the skin.

Add one bath bomb to warm running water, let it dissolve and then soak in the tub for 10 – 20 minutes for maximum skin-softening

PUTTING THE BATH BOMBS BY BOMBOZI TO THE TEST: MY EXPERIENCE

I must say, these Bath Bombs really bring it! While I prefer all natural, organic Bath Bombs, realistically, many of them just don’t have the fizzy, colorful “bomb” capabilities that bath bombs with chemicals can create. But these bombs put on a show! I dropped it in the water and it fizzed and spun around for a good 7-8 minutes, and the water had a beautiful color, foam, and scent! See the video at the end of this post to watch a Bath Bomb by Bombozi in action!

Lovely swirls of foam and fizz!

The end of the Bomb and it is still going strong and fizzy with swirling lace patterns of colorful foam

I found the bath bombs to be highly moisturizing to my skin, even the rough dry skin on the cuticles, feet, knees, and elbows, but I did not feel greasy and the tub was not left slippery or with a residue. The ingredients were all gentle but effective.

Each bomb has a scent that lasts through the bath experience without being hit-you-in-the-face overpowering, it is scented just enough. although I did not find that it lingered on my skin afterward, which I prefer.

While you can use more than one bath bomb if you desire, there really is no need as one gets the job done to leave skin smooth and soft and to give the water that relaxing fizzy feeling. Some potential combinations might be combining the Vanilla with the Lavender, Coconut, Mandarin or Sandalwood, for example.

An enjoyable indulgence that helps me unwind before bed, I really like that there is no need to scrub away a post-bath bomb debris film off the tub after use like many bath bombs tends to leave. For me, having to scrub out the tub after a bath takes away all the relaxation.

I also like that I can identify every ingredient in the bath bomb so it feels safe to soak in and not expose my skin to unnecessary chemicals when all natural organic ingredients can safely make my skin soft and be just as relaxing.

All natural ingredients you can trust for using on yourself or as a gift

CONCLUSION

A universally appreciated gift by women of all ages, this gift box is ready for gift giving for yourself or a friend to reinvigorate, cleanse, moisturize and rejuvenate skin, leaving it naturally soft and smooth with no post-bath clean up to ruin the relaxing effects. Each scented, organic, handmade bath bomb is cruelty-free. Don’t feel guilty treating yourself to a DIY spa night to recharge and reset, as these bath bombs come at an excellent price point, making them a no guilt in an indulgence that won’t break the bank.

OFFICE-LIGHTING PROOF YOUR MAKEUP: Ambertronix LED Desk Lamp

October 17, 2017 · 2 Comments

We’ve all done it: your makeup looks perfect at home, but when you get to the office it looks cakey, harsh and pale. In a sea of makeup tutorials, there are few geared toward office makeup. This is unfortunate since you want to look your best for presentations, sales pitches or job interviews, but there is a high risk of looking either completely washed out or overly made-up or even garish in that weird office lighting. This is especially the case with mineral makeup, foundation, contour, and eyeshadow blending. Fortunately, with the proper lighting, you don’t have to forgo foundation and reasonable contouring in the office.

The Ambertronix LED Desk Lamp is ideal for applying makeup for the office

Why the right lighting is crucial to office-ready makeup

There are plenty of makeup blending tools, but this is only half the battle. The real secret to getting your makeup right for the office is to apply your makeup with the right lighting. The lighting in your bathroom or bedroom is likely too dim and too yellow, which will lead to makeup being too heavy.

Brushes and sponges can blend makeup flawlessly, but only when the right lighting is used

Natural sunlight is not right either, as it is too warm, imparting extra pink and gold to your skin when you’ll have to over-compensate for the grayish cast of harsh office lighting by adding in these tones.

Applying your makeup by bedroom or bath lighting can lead to too cakey foundation or overly harsh contouring

For these reasons, we recommend the Ambertronix LED Desk Lamp for optimal even light when applying makeup. It is bright enough to leave you shadow free during makeup application without washing you out, and it does not deceptively add a warm tone that can sabotage your office makeup. The lighting is bright but not harsh or eye-irritating, it does not flicker and tire out the eyes while being used, even for extended periods of time.

Ambertronix LEd desk lamp Features

  • USB PORT/CELL PHONE CHARGER There is a USB port on the side of the lamp and a tray large enough to hold and charge your phone while you are putting on your makeup in the morning, or for leaving it to charge overnight and will not forget it. I also like that it can charge and hold my phone or device if I feel like trying out a YouTube makeup tutorial on my phone in front of a mirror and good lighting.

    Convenient USB port to charge your phone while doing your makeup

  • It has Multi-mode lighting and brightness comes in five levels and four different lighting modes with a touch-sensitive dimmer on an intuitive option menu pad. Offices are quite bright with their overhead LED panels, so applying makeup with a bright light is a must.
  • The bulbs last for 25 years, so the lamp may even outlast how long you choose to stay at your office job! It is energy efficient with a power consumption rated at 14W.
  • AUTO-OFF TIMER: Have Your Smart Phone Close By And Charging At The Same Time. A USB Charging Port Is On The Lamp For Easy Charging. Also, Have The Ability To Turn Light Off Automatically With 1 Hour Auto-Off Timer. Perfect For When Dozing Off.
  • DESIGN: Slimline and sleek, it is 16.5″ high and 12.5″ long. The light arm easily bends to any position. Modern and stylish and with a small footprint it can be fit easily on tables, bedside, countertops and computer desks. Also ideal for a dorm or small studio apartment.
  • EASY TO STORE: Just fold it and store away easy with only a little space.

MY EXPERIENCE:

It was easy to assemble, it comes with directions but I didn’t need them. It is well packaged and has a plastic peel-off wrap that keeps it free of debris and scratches while in the box. It assembled quickly, I plugged it in and turned it on. No annoying flicker and the light is bright but not irritating to the eyes.

  • THE CONTROL INTERFACE
    The control interface is very intuitive, the top has plus and minus buttons to dim or increase the lighting. Four lighting options are available, for makeup, we recommend the brightest option.

    Choose the READ option for the best lighting for office makeup

  • AUTO SHUT OFF: The one-hour shut off mode is useful so you do not accidentally leave the light on all day while you are away.
  • ADJUSTABLE
    The light arm is fully adjustable to position for use applying makeup at a vanity table, desk, or using your bathroom mirror or even just a compact mirror.

CONCLUSION

Avoid makeup surprises at the office or anywhere with harsh, bright lighting by investing in a bright natural LED light such as the Ambertronix LED Desk Lamp. It simulates natural light so your makeup will not seem strange either inside or outside. It is flicker-free, which also makes it great for reading, studying, and office work. The auto shut-off in one hour feature is also very useful at bedtime to limit oneself to only one hour of reading or Netflix watching before lights out!
