Bowflex Dumbbell Stand Fits Perfectly With The 552 Or 1090 Dumbbells
October 9th, 2017
If you are building a home gym, there are few items that should be considered a must have. For fans of the Bowflex line of weight training equipment, the Bowflex SelectTech Dumbbell Stand is one of the essentials that belong in every home gym. The Bowflex Dumbbell Stand is designed specifically for use with Bowflex SelectTech 552 and 1090 dumbbells. The system was designed with safety and style in mind. Now those who have Bowflex SeletTech 552/1090 dumbbell sets don’t have to bend down to lift their weights from the floor; instead they are now at waist level, saving stress on your back.
Additionally, the system fits nicely in any corner of the house and with built in wheels on the bottom, making it easy to move the unit around at a moments notice. There is literally nothing like this on the market, especially not for use with Bowflex SelectTech dumbbells. Other dumbbell stands available for other weight systems lack the innovative design of the Bowflex dumbbell rack and are stationary, staying where you place them. While many online reviewers were impressed with the style and sturdy construction of the Bowflex weight stand, not everyone was in love with them. A handful of reviewers were very upset by the lack of easy to follow instructions for set up, leading to concerns with the set up of their unit.

If you suffer from muscle pain on a regular basis, then the Elasto-gel Cervical Collar is a great way to help you find some much needed relief without having to take a trip to the therapist. Designed to fit around your neck to treat your upper back, the collar is quick to heat and releases that heat into your muscles, providing increased circulation to help relax your muscles and remove built up toxins. The color heats in the microwave for easy use. It is designed as a quick treatment to be used in place of longer lasting, more expensive heated pads. Many of the reviews I researched showed that the Elasto collar fits well.
That leads one to believe that it is designed to fit snuggly on a variety of different body types and sizes, which is a plus. You can also order the same Elasto gel pack in different “configurations” meaning that if you need something like this for your knee or elbow, you could get that, instead. It doesn’t stay hot very long. If you are looking for a quick heat treatment, then the Elasto collar is a good choice. But you are going to have to run back and forth to the microwave every 15 minutes or so, according to one review I read online. Many of the other reviews pointed out the additional flaw that you will need to spend some time experimenting with your microwave to find the right time to heat the gel pad. If you leave it in too long it could burn you, and taking it out too quickly won’t provide the relief that you need.

The Melissa And Doug Dollhouse Is A High Quality Victorian Doll House
September 30th, 2017
The Melissa and Doug Classic Heirloom Victorian Dollhouse is a high quality wooden dollhouse offered at a great value. With highly decorative details embellishing both the interior as well as the exterior, this gorgeous Victorian style dollhouse can easily become a family heirloom. The attention to the smallest detail is what truly sets this Melissa and Doug Dollhouse apart from others. Room furnishing sets and accessories are sold separately, allowing parents and children to slowly add to the collection of furniture. The smaller size of the individual rooms in the dollhouse prohibit the use of some dolls for play.
However, parents have recommended that the Polly Pocket series of dolls fit very nicely into the dollhouse. Some reviews mention that when filled with all of the recommended furniture, the rooms become overcrowded, making it difficult for little hands to maneuver dolls and engage in creative play. The house and its furnishings are designed at a 1:12 scale, with the finished size being 26.5 x 28 x 18 when fully assembled. The manufacturer recommends this dollhouse as being suitable for ages 6 and up. It would be easy to imagine this dollhouse being treasured well into a child’s teens and beyond.
