The first product I will be talking about is my dog and I’s friendship collars.
FriendshipCollar
Pros
- comes with a matching bracelet for pet owner
- all kinds of design choices
- weather resistant
- multiple sizes for different sized animals (small cats to large dogs)
- made of leather (very strong)
- fast shipping
Cons
- expensive for a collar
- one size fits all bracelet may still be too small or too big for some people
- hard to decide on a design
FriendshipCollar is a business that makes collars for pets and their owners. The owners don’t wear their collar around their neck like the animals do. The owners get a one size fits all bracelet to match their dogs collar print. The idea for the matching collars and bracelets is to have a “friendship” bracelet with your pet like you would with a friend using leather instead of string. I bought this friendship collar for my dog because I thought it would be a cute way for my dog and I to match. The collar and the bracelet look really nice on my dog and I and we’ve gotten plenty of complements. Of course, my dog had no idea what I was doing when I took off her old, worn collar, but so far, she really likes her new collar. It was a pricey purchase, but these collars have been known to last a pretty long time and my bracelet is also in great shape. I would definitely recommend buying one if you consider your pet your best friend and want to have something cute with them.
The next product I will be talking about is my Dell computer.
Dell Computer
Pros
- converts into a tablet
- lightweight/portable
- don’t take up a lot of space
- face ID to unlock (as well as a password if you don’t want to use face ID)
- affordable
Cons
- battery doesn’t last all day
- hard to figure out
- frustrating
- can be dropped easily due to its matte finish
The only reason I have my Dell computer is because it is a requirement for my major. I’m more of an Apple Mac person myself and making the switch is not the easiest transition or very exciting. Luckily, the computer wasn’t too pricey and met the requirements of the laptop needed for interior design software. I’ve become very frustrated with this computer over the course I have had it (about 2 weeks) since it decides to open things if I lightly graze my cursor over them. It absolutely hates Canvas (a way for Eastern Michigan University students to look at the criteria of their assignments and grades for those of you who don’t know what Canvas is) because every time I try to read the requirements of an assignment, it always loads back to the top of the page when I’m in the middle of reading the criteria. I have to slide all the way down and find where I was over and over again and it gets very old very fast. The computer doesn’t do this with any other website, just Canvas. My Dell computer is very lightweight, which makes it easier on my back to take to school and not feel pain as I’m walking to class. I would suggest getting this computer to someone who doesn’t use/like Apple products and needs to have a computer that can run multiple things at once.
The last product for my product review is the Hydroflask water bottle.
Hydroflask
Pros
- inexpensive
- can carry up to 40 ounces of water at a time
- keeps water cold
- ice doesn’t melt quickly
- bottle doesn’t sweat
- don’t have to refill as often
Cons
- very big
- heavy when full
- doesn’t fit well in my backpack side pockets
- takes forever to fill completely
I got my Hydroflask as a graduation gift and I absolutely love it. Having it around reminds me to stay hydrated throughout the day and I love the ombre in the colors. I would definitely recommend getting a Hydroflask water bottle because it keeps your water at the temperature you want and it doesn’t sweat, keeping your things around it dry. It can be time-consuming to fill the bottle (depending on what size Hydroflask you pick), but you don’t have to refill it as often if you get a bigger size. Most thermal water bottles cost a LOT of money but Hydroflask has sales all the time! It also helps prevent using plastic water bottles and creating more plastic pollution in the oceans. We don’t need to add any more waste to Trash Island. I got mine as a gift like I said before, so it didn’t cost anything to me, but when I was looking for the one I wanted on the website, it was only $30! $30 for 40 ounces of water? I think that’s a pretty good deal. Hydroflask has become very popular recently and I’ve heard nothing but good things when I ask people about their Hydroflask. If you need to buy a new water bottle, I would suggest buying a Hydroflask!
