Occasionally a product comes along that is so exciting you can’t wait to share it with all your friends or for that matter people you have never even met. One such product I was introduced to recently is chicboom, a key chain speaker system by .
Coming in three styles, an animal print cube, accented with pink or blue heart speaker heads or my favorite, the round trendy art designed pink ball, these hip sound makers are irresistibly fun yet have amazingly high quality sound. Chicboom has the ability to be connected to any electronic listening device currently on the market that has a standard 3.5mm stereo jack.
With a built-in rechargeable battery, the chicboom provides up to four hours of clear, loud distortion-free sound. Once I tried this device my mind was racing with all the “where I could use it” options.
Perfect for any outdoor activity where you want to share your favorite tunes, I immediately thought of a day at the beach, floating on a boat or lounging by the pool.
A day at the park or having a picnic will be a lot more enjoyable with a little background music and you won’t even have to lug along a clunky boom-box.
The hours spent waiting at all those sport team practices suddenly will sound a whole lot more fun. With the chicboom, you can even provide the halftime entertainment during junior’s soccer match!
Speaking of junior, can you imagine a long car ride without the constant complaints of not being able to hear the movie on the DVD player? Simply connect the DVD player to the chicboom and the problem is solved. That is certainly sweet music to my ears.
Any traveler to knows that guests wanting a great seat for the parades need to stake out their territory long before the show starts. Download your favorite Disney tunes or some current hits from pop stars and the wait will fly by. For that matter waiting in line for your favorite ride listening to your favorite tunes won’t seem like a wait at all and who knows you may even make some new friends.
Gentlemen, while chicBuds are made for chics, there is no need to feel left out as RockBuds is there for you with styles just right for the manly man. Something so tiny it fits on your keyring, yet is so powerful and fun is a definite must-have for anyone on-the-go!

OK, I’ll admit it. My husband and I are snowbirds — that’s what year-round Floridians call us northerners who flock to their sunny coasts in the winter. Because most of us want to take a break from cooking as well as the blizzards up north, restaurants in southwest Florida can get mighty...
