Lutron Caseta Wireless: Lights I Can Control Wirelessly
*Disclaimer: I was not compensated for this post. I received complimentary product for review purposes. All opinions are my own.
I always thought that remote control lighting was something that was only found in huge elaborate mansions but now thanks to Lutron Caseta Wireless, wireless light control is attainable. I decided to try out the Lutron Caseta Wireless Plug-In Lamp Dimmer & Smart Bridge with the lamp we use for our turtle tank. The turtle's lamp is supposed to be on daily for a few hours a day but we often forget to turn it on and off, so I felt that this would be a great option for us and our turtles. I opened the boxes and in less than 10 minutes, everything was installed and set up. The installation was quick, easy and painless: I plugged in the lamp dimmer & smart bridge, installed the Lutron app and aligned the dimmer. Now, we are able to adjust the lights with the remote control or with our mobile devices. We can turn the lamp on, off, dim them and I even scheduled them to turn on/off for a few hours a day. I love the new found convenience I get from Lutron's Caseta Wireless lighting options and am looking forward to trying out more Lutron products to make my home a smart one!

Sprint Sound Session with Harman Kardon & Jermaine Paul
Disclosure: I participated in an Influencer Activation Program on behalf of Mom Central Consulting for Sprint Sound Session. I received a sample of the HTC One to facilitate this review and a promotional item to thank me for participating.
I love my music and the new Sprint Harman Kardon HTC One (M8) phone combines excellent sound quality & a smart phone in a stylish compact HTC phone with crystal clear call quality. The sound quality of the Harman Kardon HTC One is amazing; it’s really like being in the midst of a live personal concert with the artist/artists. You’ll hardly believe what you’re hearing with the patented Clari-Fi™ technology, which analyzes digital audio files in real time and restores what was lost in compression. You'll swear you’re listening live with LiveStage™ on your headphones, and you’ll love the live wallpaper of Sprint Live delivering the hottest tunes to your fingertips. I was introduced to the newest Sprint phone, educated about Harman Kardon and enjoyed a live performance by Jermaine Paul at a #SprintMom #SprintMusic event I attended thanks to MomCentral. Jermaine Paul serenaded us with his soulful voice and guitar amplified by the Harman Kardon speakers transforming the event space into a concert hall.
My favorite features of the phone are the sound quality, of course as well as the camera and its features. I am able to use Sprint Music Plus, Next Radio and Spotify to listen to my music while on the go with remarkable sound quality thanks to the dual front speakers and the 3.5mm Harman/Kardon headphones that it comes with. *Sprint Music Plus- Sprint’s official music store and player for music tracks, albums, ringtones and ring-back tones. *Next Radio- Application for listening to local FM broadcasts on customers’ smartphones. *Spotify- Sprint is giving customers access to Spotify’s catalog of more than 20 million songs FREE. Spotify Premium allows users to play music on demand, create playlists, discover new music, share tracks with their friends, listen to songs offline, and listen to music without ads across multiple devices. Visit Sprint.com/Music to learn more The Harman Kardon HTC One camera features a duo lens camera, one touch refocus, photo filters, Ultra Pixels (twice the average size to capture 300% more light) and the ability to take complete panoramas. I love taking pictures with it and trying out the great photo effects. The Harmon/Kardon Onyx Studio wireless speaker provides the ultimate sound companion to all your Bluetooth devices with room filling sound through its four powered speakers and dual passive radiators, exclusive to Sprint. 5 hours of playback time wirelessly and 8 hours of playback time wired, perfect for outdoor summer get-togethers! -SD |
