Living in an apartment sucks! At least the ones we`re at (yes, a very long review to come soon!). Of all the things that go wrong with apartment living and annoyances, one thing that sucks, but is apart of the apartment life is the no hanging things or putting nails and such in the wall. So how are you able to display photos on your wall? And what about the convenience of hanging a key holder by the front door? Yup, that`s out of the question too! Well, for all of you stuck in the apartment living situation and those who just want something cool without damaging your walls, I found something cool! It`s called UM! Brands!
UM! Brands sent me a couple of adhesive hooks to try out! They sent me their Stick UM! and the Hook UM! The Stick UM! is a simple adhesive pad that you can attach to any flat surface which has a reusable sticky surface on both sides. One side to stick to the surface and the other side is to hold your belongings on. The Hook UM! is an adhesive hook which can be placed on any flat surface to hold your belongings.

UM!
Ever had an "UM!" moment? Seemingly simple problems such as: "Um... Where do I put my oven mitts?" or "Um... How do I put this picture on my wall?" may often require much more complex solutions. The same "UM!" is also the first sound uttered before an epiphany: A sound that precedes genius ideas as our minds organize floating thoughts into coherent sentences. Here at UM! Brands, we strive to create a simple yet genius solution for each UM! moment, using our revolutionary material called EverSTIK which uses nano-suction technology instead of old fashioned glue and tape to adhere securely to any non-porous surfaces without leaving a mark.
WE LIVE IN AN INCREDIBLE AGE.
With instant ramen, buttonless phones and wireless technology that allows information to be transferred instantaneously across the planet. Yet, here in the 21st century, if we want to hang something on a wall, we have to trudge into the garage, find nails and a hammer and bludgeon a stake into the wall. If we decide that we don`t want it there anymore, we are left with an unsightly hole.
ISN`T IT ABOUT TIME OUR DOMESTIC LIVES CAUGHT UP WITH THE REST OF TECHNOLOGY?Â
Well, with our everSTIKâ„¢ technology, you can now mount up to 10 pounds of anything on to any surface without ever reaching for a hammer; then you can remove it whenever you like, leaving behind no mark, over and over again.
It’s the most practical technology of the modern age. The applications are endless. From hooks to organizers to whiteboards and decorations, the possibilities are mind-blowing.

IMAGINE THAT: ANY PLACE, ANY TIME, YOU CAN JUST HOOK UM!, STICK UM!, NOTE UM! AND DO TONS OF OTHER AMAZING THINGS WITH UM!
It`s funny how we take it for granted that we can go to space, yet we can`t imagine something so simple as sticking things onto a wall without destroying it.
WELL DEAR,
Now you can. And it`s about time.
When I received these items I have to admit I was quite skeptical. I mean, a sticky pad that can actually hold things? Yea, right! Much to my surprise though they work! The sticky pad would be perfect to hold some pictures on the wall, cd, or anything under 3 pounds. At first we tried a cell phone, but that fell off in about a minute, so I`m guessing it was a slight bit too heavy. Next we tested a music CD and it stuck to it like nothing was going on! The adhesive hook we received also stuck to the wall and to my surprise held a nice bit of wait as well! It held up with my purse at least which said enough for me!

So overall what do I think? I think these were some awesome products and well worth the investment. I`m currently in an apartment where you can`t put nails in the wall and these make such a difference. I can now stick a photo on the wall to give it more of a home feel and hang my keys or my purse or pretty much anything on the wall now also! These are perfect for anyone in the same living situation, especially college students! Would I recommend these? HIGHLY!
***UPDATE SINCE ORIGINAL REVIEW - these do not hold up well after being moved around and also they don`t hold the items up for a long period of time, making them pretty useless.
