CreaClip will save you money and a trip to the salon

I like to keep my hair short because it’s easier to take care of and I think it looks better that way. Heck, I even loved it when I was bald due to chemo 7 years ago. It was liberating not having to shampoo and blow dry my hair every morning and pay $20 or more every few weeks for a haircut. Not that I want to go to that extreme for hair care convenience now.

To save money and time, I sometimes have Jeanne trim my hair in between haircuts. She does a pretty good job at trimming bangs and around my ears and neck, but I’ve not had her try cutting the rest of my hair because she’s not trained and doesn’t feel confident. I’m thinking that maybe the CreaClip might be just the gadget to turn that around.

The CreaClip will let you cut your own hair or someone else’s hair. It’s a snap together clip with a built-in level that provides a guide so that you can trim bangs and even layer hair. You can check out their video on the CreaProducts website and you can buy a CreaClip set which comes with two sizes of clips for $24.95 on Amazon.

Give Mom everything she needs for a day at work or running errands

Whether you’re at work or out getting groceries and running errands, you need some essentials with you.  You need some reusable shopping bags, an umbrella, water bottle, and other odds and ends.  Kikkerland Design makes it easy for you to give your mother most everything she’ll need in one easy gift for you.

The Mom on the Go! pack has one full-sized Ombre umbrella, which is colored with light hues blending to soft shades of color.  (Color selected at random.)  She’ll also get a glass water bottle to take with her, outfitted with a neoprene sleeve with a galaxy design and a carry strap.  There’s also a reusable shopping bag (color chosen at random) that folds up small enough to easily fit into her gear bag until she needs it.  And finally, the handbag essentials gift set includes a silicone purse light, plaid travel case, and another reusable shopping bag.

The Mom on the Go! gift pack is available for $42.00 ($57.00 for these items individually priced) from Kikkerland Design.

The 3rd gen August Smart Lock keeps your home secure without a complicated install

These days, everywhere I look I see processes and tasks that were once manual, completely automated to meet the needs and demands of today’s technology-driven world. As a techie myself, I usually embrace most of the new and innovative gadgets, but I do hold on to some hesitation when I feel that there may be a measurable security risk. Whether the risk is to personal security or data security, these new gadgets must always consider the reality of our world, and they must include redundant security measures to compensate.

Just the other day, I came across the August Smart Lock that creates a secure keyless entry into your home via an app and also via Bluetooth. Using the app on your phone, you can wirelessly lock and unlock your door. You can also set the app to lock and unlock your door once you are within a predefined proximity. This can be great if your hands are full of groceries or other items, but dangerous if a stranger walks up behind you just as you reach your door.

The capabilities of this lock also allow you to grant temporary access, which would work great for guests or “known” repair people. If you have folks in your home that keep losing their house keys, the August Smart Lock could be a good option. Installation is very easy since it installs right over your existing deadbolt lock. It also works with Alexa for added versatility.

You can purchase the August Smart Lock at Amazon for $148.

The Manfrotto Pro Light Cinematic Backpack Balance can carry it all


So for this episode of “I am still desperately trying to find the right photography gear bag for myself”; I am focusing on a new bag just released by Manfrotto.

Although specifically designed to accommodate a fully set up Ronin M/MX, the Manfrotto Pro Light Cinematic Backpack Balance seems to be a bag that may also work well for my DSLR with the extended battery grip attached, and with either my Sigma 70-200mm or Canon 24-105mm attached. Of course I always walk with additional gear for both photo and video opportunities, so the additional space is great.

This bag is still relatively compact, and is touted to meet most aircraft carry-on requirements. Internally, it is lined with 3D shock absorbing foam and structural reinforcement board. The fabric is soft so that it will not scratch the gear. It is made of “water-repellent ripstop nylon/polyester, with hollowed ITW Nexus buckles and Duraflex hardware”. There are external accessory pockets to hold various accessories, including straps to carry a tripod or monopod. There is also a dedicated compartment for your laptop, and a sun/rain cover is included to “seal” the deal.

The Manfrotto Pro Light Cinematic Backpack Balance can be purchased from B&H Photo Video for $279.99.
