TL;DR Premium feel, no leaks, laser etched logos!

ShikShook premium cocktail shaker set has a very premium feel to it. While the box it comes in is a little underwhelming once you get it out and store it in it's little premium velvet bag it looks very nice and feels just as nice. It has a heftier feel then some of the cocktail shakers I have used before and the seal on all the metal connections is very strong. I shook it fairly vicious while testing it out making a Pina Colada creamer and it stuck together flawlessly with zero leaks.

The Shaker itself is make up of the 3 standard pieces, the lid, the top strainer piece and actually cup portion. The name of the brand 'ShikShook' is nicely etched onto the strainer piece and their logo is on the lid piece. It has a quality look to it. It comes with a single ounce and half ounce Duble Jigger. I found it very helpful for measuring out ingredients quickly and in single mixes. I also like that it has laser etched their logo into it so it is easy to tell it is part of the set. It also comes with a couple Liquor Pourers & even an ebook: 100 Cocktail Drinks Recipes.

 Overall, I believe this is an awesome product, super quality and would purchase again if my mocktail business takes off. :p

Three Star Lions Salt and Pepper Grinder Review

The Three Star Lions Salt and Pepper Grinder set is great. They have an excellent look which is very modern. The glass seems quite thick and I believe could probably be dropped and the stainless steel toppers have seem to be able to stand up to some beating. I love the caps on top, they really tiddy up the look.

The finest setting of the pepper and salt is a very nice light flake and if you turn it up to the largest setting is a very coarse. For these price, these guys light up a table at dinner time, I highly recommend.

Swim Goggles #Glise

I am in no rites a professional (or even amateur) swimmer but these are the best pair of fitting goggles I have had and they seem very high quality. The adjustable nose pieces make it so you can find the right distance for the space between your eyes. It came with a small on it which I had to move to the medium piece for comfort. The nose piece comes right (not in a way that would ever fall out, but something that is not very difficult to do) and you just slide in one of the other ones. The straps are very easy to adjust the sizing and have a little mechanism that keeps them in place. To re-adjust it is very easy. The reflective nature of the front is very cool, it looks like a nice set of sunglasses where you cannot see into it when someone is wearing them.

The cushion around the eye is very soft but holds a good seal against water. When I went to test it I jumped off of a 12 foot platform and the goggles had no problem sticking to my face. They have anti-fog properties and didn't fog up one time while I was swimming and playing around.

 Good or bad (I'll let you decide) the goggles are very very tinted. They make everything a lot bluer. I was testing in an indoor pool but it made it a little difficult to walk around with them on. If you go outside it is not a problem at all, but inside it was a little dark in my opinion. The accessories are nice, and I am sure if you were an avid swimmer, it would save you from having to buy these as extras. With that said, I have a medium to large nose and the nose plugs definitely did not fit, the ear plugs seemed to be a little large (even though they were made from a nice silicone). The swim cap was perfect though, and seemed very nice (thick rubber) and fit quite nicely.


Overall. I think this is a solid buy for around $15, I think as a swimmer, I would use these while doing laps in or outdoors. As a explore-able set, I would probably try to find something that didn't have such a deep tint to them. Check them out!
