Flexible Polar Blue LED Rope



I received the 5 Foot Flexible Polar Blue LED Rope through a promotion.

Product Info:
  • 5 feet long 
  • Includes 3 mounting rails & 6 screws 
  • Voltage: 120V
The Flexible Polar Blue LED Rope light is a nice ambient background light. 

The light is heavier than I had expected it to be. I expected something of lesser quality. I'm very pleased to see how heavy duty and well made the LED rope light is. The pvc material the rope light is made out of is thick and sturdy. The cord of the light is also thick and durable. It's not something that will easily break. The cords are well protected.

The entire light lite up. There was no spot with any issues. The light is a sky blue that's very bright. It's not a light that I'd have sitting out in sight because of how bright it is. It made my eyes hurt, even with the other lights in the room on. 

It is a great light to have under or behind furniture, such as a bed, bar, desk, etc. Some place where it can be hidden, yet still be bright enough to help light up an area of the room, to create a mood or setting, or just for decor. 

The only thing I wish that was different with this light is that there'd be an on/off switch. Unplugging the light and plugging it back in can be a pain if the light is plugged into a difficult to reach location. 

Pros:
- Bright 
- Durable
- Long cord

Cons:
- No on/off switch

Speed Jump Rope



I received the Speed Jump Rope from Bella Naturals through a promotion.

Product Info:
  • Lightweight
  • Helps with speed
  • Allows you to burn more calories with increased speed
  • Can help improve cardiovascular health (Jump rope exercises
  • Made with ball bearings that connect handle to rope (Helps increase revolutions per minute)
  • 4 high-grade metal ball bearings (handle to rope)
  • Cable is 10ft long and can be adjusted. 
  • Comes with nylon bag for storage 
The first thing I noticed about the jump rope is that it was very light weight. The cable feels like you're just picking up a string. It's smaller and lighter than my dogs' dog leashes. 

The ball bearings in the handles that help connect it to the rope do help make it move quickly. It allows the handle to spin with the rope without having it twist or turn in your hands. 

I love how easy this cable can be adjusted. With being 5'4", the 10 foot cable is too long for me. At first, I wondered what the circle part with the screw was for at the end of the rope. I tried spinning the screw and realized that it was to help hold the handle where you wanted it. It was very quick and easy to adjust. 

With adjusted the cable to my height or desired length, there was excess cable that stuck out past the handles. That wire kept butting me, so I decided to pull on the end pieces to see if they came off. They did! It made it easy to cut the cable and put those end pieces back on. No more annoying excess cables for me!
There was only one thing that bothered me about this jump rope. I didn't like the handles. They are small and help keep the rope lightweight, but the handles are uncomfortable to hold for long periods of time. They started to make my hands cramp due to their size and lack of cushion. Plus, the sweatier you are, the harder it is to hold.

Boson Sport - Jumpe Rope



I received the Boson Sport Jumpe Rope through a promotion. 

Product Info:
  • Can be adjusted to height
  • Lightweight 
  • Soft-grip handles
  • Rope length of 8' 2.45" 
  • Handles are 0.46' 
  • Designed for someone 5'9" or shorter 
I was surprised at how lightweight this jump rope was. I was expecting something heavier. The lightweight makes it easier to jump rope for longer and faster without the weight of the rope slowing you down. 

When I first got out the rope, it was a little too long for me. It didn't work well for jumping. It was very easy to adjust based on the directions that came with the jump rope inside the box. They were easy to follow. 

The soft-grip handles were very nice to hold onto. The handles also fit comfortably in my hands.

My favorite part about this jump rope was that it didn't tangle! I didn't have to wait and untangle the rope like I do with some jump ropes. I also didn't have to worry about it getting tangled up together or on something while I was jumping.
