The JBL Clip 2 provides 8 hours of playtime, allowing you to take your music wherever you go, be it land or water.

Use the speakerphone to make clear, noise and echo free phone calls. The JBL Clip 2 is covered with durable waterproof fabric, and earns its name with its upgraded carabiner, clipping to your clothes or backpack to take on any adventure.

Celebrate Father's Day with Glen Grant Whisky

A product was given for review for my honest opinion. No other compensation was given.

Got a whiskey-lovin' Dad on your gift list this Father's Day?

Then give them the gift of Glen Grant 15 Year Old single malt Scotch Whisky! This is the third new aged variant from Glen Grant to reach the states, joining the 12 and 18 year old expressions, which launched last year.

Distilled in 2002 and bottled in 2017, Glen Grant 15 is the creation of Dennis Malcom, Glen Grant’s
legendary Master Distiller and one of the longest tenured master distillers in Scotland. He crafted this 15 year old whisky at 50% ABV batch strength to bring an intensified expression to the signature Glen Grant style, noted for its brilliant golden colour and elegant yet complex taste profile.

The liquid is matured in hand selected, first-fill ex-bourbon casks, imparting a beautifully complex flavour, further enhanced by non-chill filtering for a fuller mouthfeel. The final product offers aromas of citrus fruit and toffee, accompanied by a rich palate of spiced pears, tangerines and vanilla. It leaves a nutty finish with delicate notes of soft fruit.

Founded in 1840 by brothers John and James Grant in Rothes, in Speyside, Scotland, Glen Grant boasts a remarkable, double distillation and unique purification process, which sets its award-winning single malts apart from the competition. Tall slender stills and distinctive purifiers, introduced over a century ago by the ingenious James ‘The Major’ Grant and still used to this day, capture only the finest vapors, producing the refined and seductively smooth taste for which Glen Grant is renowned.

Buy It:

You can purchase Glen Grant 15 Year Old for a suggested retail price of the 750ML is $76.99, though exact product availability and pricing may vary depending on region.

A product was given for review for my honest opinion. No other compensation was given.

I bet everyone is loving the warmer weather, the abundant sunshine and the beautiful flowers and trees everywhere! But nothing can be more of a downer than mosquitoes appearing, buzzing and biting! It can definitely ruin a beautiful day outside, a weekend at the cabin or vacation!

Well, don't let the mosquitoes win this year! Make sure you have your Thermacell repellents with you at all times like we do!!

Plus, Thermacell is changing the repellent landscape with the first rechargeable mosquito solution, the Radius. Just the touch of a button provides hours of comfort and it’s air travel friendly! No more sticky sprays and lotions or dousing yourself in DEET.

Radius features:

o Rechargeable USB Lithium-ion battery

o Cordless, lightweight, minimalist design

o Automatic shut off timer

o Long-life refills available, up to 40 hours each

o No sticky sprays, oily lotions, or active ingredients that can damage gear

A Lithium Ion battery enables a single refill system, using a lone repellent refill. Long-life Radius refills are available with up to 40 hours of repellent action, and can be started and stopped as often as needed. The lithium-ion battery is USB rechargeable, allowing for up to six hours of run time per charge, and even features an automatic shut off timer.

We are a natural-living family so we use no DEET or harmful bug repellents and Thermacell has been A LIFESAVER for us! It really, really works and we have loved every single one they have! We just used the new Radius at the cabin this last weekend and the mosquitoes WERE. SO. BAD! Once we turned on the Radius, they were gone and we could work, play and fish in peace outside! I love the Radius for the rechargeable battery and the ease of use! 

And if you are looking for the perfect Dad’s Day gift, then impress Dad with the Thermacell Radius and never again will he be bugged by mosquitoes!

The Perfect Father's Day Gift for Any Man: The @brobasket!

A product was given for review for my honest opinion. No other compensation was given.

Whether you’re a guy or a gal this Father's Day buying for your father, grandfather, brother or life partner, choosing a gift can be a stressful…even a painful process! Men are notoriously hard to buy for, no matter what the occasion.

Thankfully, there’s now a real solution designed to make it virtually impossible to mess up your loved one’s gift. TheBroBasket.com offers the coolest choices of custom baskets that scream masculine... delivered right to his door.

Unlike anything out there,TheBroBasket’s gifts include craft beer, fine wines and spirits along with their favorite brand name gear and goodies. All baskets are 100% customizable and come in non-alcoholic versions too!

For my husband this Father's Day (shhh....don't tell him - it is a surprise!), I picked out The Ultimate Gift for Men basket! I had such a hard time deciding on just one basket because all the baskets from TheBroBasket were awesome and something I thought my husband would love!!

But, alas, I decided on The Ultimate Gift for Men because he is a big fan of craft beers....and because what man doesn’t want a BIG bucket of beer?

If your guy like buckets of beer, then they sure are going to LOVE this Ultimate Gift for Men! This thing is loaded with 12 of their favorite beers, two coasters, a bottle opener (we don’t want to leave them hanging), and most importantly it comes in a cool reusable tub, on ice!

The coolest thing about this BroBasket is that if the guy you’re buying this for enjoys more than one kind of beer then you can give them 12 beers from multiple breweries; leading to the ultimate beer tourist experience.

I love that TheBroBasket is not the typical Father's Day gift but one my husband will definitely use! :) Guys are bored of getting the same ol’ socks, ties, and gift cards. Hopefully, this Father's Day, my husband will get something he really wants thanks to TheBroBasket! :) And maybe let me drink some of those tasty cold beers with him! :)

Celebrate Dads and Martinis with Ketel One Vodka!

A product was given for review for my honest opinion. No other compensation was given.

Not only is it Father's Day this Sunday but did you know it is also National Martini Day??? I think that is a great match of holidays! :) I know my husband sure enjoys a good martini!

And, it is just another reason to get that hard to buy for Dad a good ‘ol bottle of Ketel One Vodka! You hit two birds with one stone and it’s the perfect way to enjoy the dual holiday in style. Celebrate his hard work with a Ketel One Vodka martini, of course, rich in heritage.

From father-to-son for 11 generations, the Nolet Family has embraced an unwavering commitment to excellence in distilling the world’s finest spirits, and 2016 marked the 325th anniversary of the Nolet Family Distillery, the makers of Ketel One Vodka. In 1983, Carl Nolet Sr., 10th Generation, created Ketel One Vodka, a vodka crafted with the perfect martini in mind.

They offer three flavors of vodka - classic vodka, Citroen (lemon tasting), and Oranje (orange flavored). I really enjoyed all three but the flavored ones give extra great flavor in a classic martini or mixed drink!

In honor of this joint holiday, Ketel One Vodka serves up a classic recipe for the Ketel One Ultimate Martini. Check out the recipe for the Ketel One Ultimate Martini below!

Simple and refreshing, the Ketel One Ultimate Martini highlights the base vodka liquid bartenders worldwide have come to know and love since its introduction to the market in 1983. Lightly combined with ice to chill, stir your cocktail before straining over a rocks glass and garnish with your choice of Olive brine or lemon twist.

Ketel One Ultimate Martini

INGREDIENTS
· 1.25 oz Ketel One® Vodka
· .25 oz of Vermouth

METHOD
Stir with ice in a mixing glass and strain into a rocks glass over one large ice cube or a martini glass. Garnish with a lemon twist.
Note: Can be tailored to personal taste with the addition of olive brine or specialty olives

Sure, you could just pick Dad up another tie or “World’s Best Dad” coffee mug for Father's Day this year  – he probably wouldn’t make a fuss. But why not get him something that he’ll truly use and appreciate this year? He helped become the person you are today. You owe the guy; get him something that he’ll really love – Ketel One Vodka.

Buy It:

You can purchase Ketel One Vodka at a local spirits retailer near you.
