The AYL 3-in-1 LED Vehicle Emergency Flashlight goes above and beyond my expectations. It is solidly built and a well design product. All functions on this flashlight work exceptionally well.

Organic Ceremonial Grade Matcha is a fine powdered form of shade grown green tea leaves. I love Green Tea and have known about Matcha for a while, but didn’t try until recently; this is my first time trying the ceremonial grade and I am very pleased with it.

Matcha is Continue reading →
