I am an office worker, and I sit at least 50-60 hours a week in an office chair.  No matter the quality of the cushioning of the chair, eventually, I get sore and shift a lot.  In 100 dollar chairs, I bottom out quick.  In 1000 dollar chairs, it may take most of the day, but eventually i will get sore. With this Purple Ultimate Seat Cushion, it does not happen.  At the end of the day, i don't have sore spots, and I really dont' feel like I need to get off my butt.  It makes a HUGE difference.  If you suffer from a bad chair, and you can't afford a nice one, this cushion might be all you need.  I also sit crosslegged, and my feet or legs might go numb from pressure points, but with this cushion, my leg just sinks into the cushion, and I never get pressure points.

I recently drove 9 hours to and from a remote town in my Tesla Model 3, and I used this seat, and it was AMAZING.  I felt like i could go days and days with no seat problems.  It does raise you 2 inches, so you have to compensate for that, but since the car does most of the driving, i didn't mind.  The material does seem soft and slightly sticky in there, so don't leave it in your car on a hot day, or there's a possibility of it deforming or melting.

The "rubber" square pattern has a good sense of medium firmness, but it has a good side to side "squishiness" that allows the large seat cushion to form/fit into my current office chair seat as well as the tesla seat.  The size is big, but perfect for me because it is more important it fills the entire seat pan.  I'm 5'7" and med/large when it comes to things like this.  I've tried other foam and memory foam material before, and most might feel soft, but they eventually squish to nothing, but this has a structure to it that never 100% squishes, so it still offers great support, and must like a rubber grid lattice, I don't expect it to lose it's structural integrity over time like foam would.

I do wish they made office chairs with this type of padding, so it's not 2 inches extra of padding I'm sitting on.  I'd buy that chair in a heartbeat.


We bought this for our daughter when she was a newborn.  She has always slept with it and I think part of the reason she is such a good sleeper is because of this!  For the first little bit she was in our room and I have really missed using this at night to sleep!  I almost bought myself one!

Why this is perfect for baby:
-The sound is not recorded so it doesnt repeat the same pattern over and over.

-I love that it just has an on/off switch, I didnt want a sound machine that was going to turn off after my daughter fell asleep

-It helps cover noises in the rest of the house.  My daughter will sleep through the doorbell ringing and the fire alarm going off but as soon as I go into her room and turn off the sound machine she start to stir

-It's pretty portable, we always take it on vacations/ trips to grandmas

-You can change the sound by rotating the top part or the sides, if we know things are going to be a little louder we can adjust the sound conditioner accordingly

Other thoughts:
-I like to sleep with a fan so I found the noise this makes to be very soothing.  If you like to sleep with a fan then you will love this!

-Dont expect this to cover up every noise, thats not really the point, it will help drown out other noises so if you are asleep or working you wont be distracted by them.  I know some people complain about this, but to completely block out all other noises that sound conditioner would have to be really loud and I think that would be worse than the offending noises.  It's sort of like wearing earplugs, you can still sort of hear things but they dont bother you anymore.

-Be to follow the instructions not place the sound conditioner right next to your head (like your nightstand) and it will work better.  This seems counterintuitive, but it works.

Bottom line:  This is worth every penny!  For us, this was a splurge.  We didnt have a lot to spend on baby stuff but this made the cut and was WELL worth it, still in use today (1.5 years later). We are about to have another baby so we just bought another to have in our room when she gets home from the hospital and I am excited to keep it when she shares a room with her sister!  Don't be surprised if you buy this for your kid and end of stealing it from them!


Construction: Bowl: Ceramic, annoyingly heavy and draught hole is bottom center. Takes my thumb, but only to the knuckle, resulting in 45 minute smoke max.  No  capacious 2 hr. Calabash smoke here. It was held in place by tack glue. Removed, underside of bowl is threaded, but soft wood surface does not bode well for repeated removal,sealings. Probably best to clean here quarterly.  There is also a gap the thickness of 2 sheets of newspaper, when bowl is in place.
Pipe Body: This is NOT BRIAR. Unbelieveably  . . . it is made of BALSA WOOD! Top of pipe body is hollowed out with a floor at mid body and a 2nd Draught Hole at the back, 1/4" above the shank.
Stem: The stem, ferrule and screw tenon (in the shank) are hard, plastic, not Vulcanite.  It has a chemical taste to it initially. End of Bit is not round, but somewhat flatted and this makes for an air gap top & bottom when inserted into the ferrule.  After first use, the screw tenon in  the shank came loose. Wood glued it came loose a second time. Will probably need to resort to JB Weld to keep it in place. Gluing the stem to ferrule receiver to cure that air gap, is not an option, as you don't know where the pieces will line up when threaded back on the screw tenon. I subbed a bent Vulcanite stem, but there was still an air gap, but not as bad as the stock unit.
Useability: I gave it 2 stars, as it is smokeable. That overtly top heavy bowl requires some dexterity.  It always wants to fall forward. Hard to light, due to weight, bulk and center draught hole.  Czech Pipe tool handy when loading. Once going, draw is medium tight. This can be improved by opening 2nd draught hole to 5/32nd.
The knock on Ceramic pipes, is the heat they generate.  Here, the light wood body, gives a cooler surface to hold while your tobac burns cleanly in the Ceramic bowl. This is this lowly pipes' saving grace.
I looked for lowest price ($23.90 with Ship)and waited for the leisurely, 3 week, International shipping. Still, I paid too much by half, judging by product received. This pipe made by committee has a goofy charm for those who like to tinker, but I believe it is not worth the money or the aggravation to most pipesters.


Okay, let’s start with a full confession: I knew this bench wasn’t going to fit in my narrow bathtub, but I ordered it for a different use — to be a sturdy, handsome, and modest-priced bamboo accessory for my bedroom. That’s what it’s turned into, and that’s exactly where it sits right now, at the foot of my Tempurpedic. Spoiler alert:  I LOVE IT!

The unit came disassembled but turned out to be a cinch to put together. The instructions are hardly necessary. There were stickers with letter coding on the legs and body that showed what went where, and an Allen wrench for the stainless steel screws. There was even an extra wrench and set of screws included. I think it took me five minutes from start to finish.

There were only two minor imperfections I feel obliged to mention. The first was a rough patch on the bottom of one leg. A little sanding took care of it, but it’s something I think should have been caught in quality control before it left the factory.

The other issue had to do with the soft rubber feet that affix to the bottom of each leg. An improperly pre-drilled hole in one of the legs meant that I ended up stripping the notches in the head trying to get the screw securely seated. Not a huge deal, but still…

For those considering it for bath use, my experience may be instructive. A couple of years ago, I realized I really needed to be able to sit down while showering. I saw (and purchased) the Oasis Space model in the accompanying photo here on Amazon. It’s perfect for my situation. The legs are only 13 inches apart, which means they can sit flat on the bottom of the tub, and the circular seat measures well over 12 inches, which is ample for my gluteus maximus. It also has a number of different height settings.

For my bathtub, this bamboo version is wider where it needs to be narrower and narrower where it needs to be wider. Instead of 13 inches, the legs are 18 inches apart, making it impossible to place it securely on the bottom. And the slatted seat, while comfortable, is over two inches narrower than the diameter of my existing shower seat. Finally, while an application of Tung Oil would probably retard mold, I’ll be much happier using this bench as a bedroom accessory.

I continue to be impressed with the Oasis range of products and the company's excellent customer service.


I wanted to write this review for all those like me who scour reviews before taking the plunge! I do have an advantage regarding this chair over someone looking to buy this chair sight unseen. I have been able to tryout this specific chair for about a month... I work part time in the ER of a hospital and the hospital has this exact chair in the staff lounge.  If you are looking at this chair and wondering if you should purchase is.. I say YES!!
FEATURES:
 Not only is the price very reasonable; this chair had all of the basic functions I felt were necessary in a massage chair. Zero gravity, L track massage, which means this sucker will roll from shoulders, down your back, over your booty and to your thighs(heaven on earth). It also has heat which was very important to me.  Shiatsu, kneading and rolling, air compression for your calves and forearms and 4 preprogrammed settings. I can sit at zero gravity with just heat and foot rollers going or choose preprogrammed relax, recover, extend or refresh. So many options. Other features outside of these would just be bonuses to me but would also push up the price point and I am not interested in paying 3-10k when this chair has what I believe are necessities.
DELIVERY:
I ordered this chair on a Sunday and received it the Friday at noon...5 days!! It would have been 4 but weather delayed the driver. The shipping company was awesome R&L.. I had a tracking number and received a phone call the day before delivery then the day of 30 minutes prior. Couldn't have went more smoothly.
BRINGING IT IN:
 This chair is a beast... very heavy but my son and husband brought it in the house Then down the hall to the den.  To get  it in the den they did take off the door and trim as our door is small and we wanted no dings or scratches . They probably could have laid the chair on its side and pushed it in the door like an "L".. if that makes sense but I'm not sure you want to tip over a 225 -250 pound chair. Once in the den my husband said it was just 2 pieces to put together and it was super quick.. plug and play. This chair is strong and powerful. Start on low.
I have to say that I am thrilled with everything about this purchase another side note... this chair is "big calf friendly".. there are other chairs that have skinny looking calf massagers... you'll have no problem being comfy in this chair if you have wide calves. I hope this review helps someone decide to buy... or not to buy.


1) The massage bit does fit a Bauer 20v Hypermax cordless orbital jigsaw from Harbor Freight.
2) The shank on the bit is thick, and it does not fit the chuck easily.  I did not have to grind it down as I've read in other reviews.  Some people will not agree with what I did, but I was able to install the bit by tapping it in with a rubber mallet.  As you can see in the pics, it does fit completely within the chuck, and it is stable and solid.  I may have to use pliers or something to remove it when the time comes, but I bought the jig saw almost exclusively to use with the massage bits.  I have another jig saw for cutting but it's older and doesn't use T-shank bits/blades.
3) The tips themselves are great.  I was a little concerned that they might be harder and smoother than I wanted, but they are perfect.  The surface is rubbery not plasticky, and the material is somewhat soft.  I can squeeze it in my hands.  Firmer than an racquetball or tennis ball, but not as firm as a lacrosse ball.  That's what I wanted.  I didn't want to be beating myself up with the tips.  The texture of the ball is slick enough that it doesn't pull hair out of my skin.  I had read a review that some tip textures have done that to others.
4) I was surprised that I could use it at high speed on the jig saw.  I thought I'd have to take it easy, but the higher speed actually works better I think.  You just have to be aware of how close you hold it to the muscle so the stroke doesn't have the tip hitting deeper than you want.

Overall, I think it's great.  Great value.  6 tips, a bit, and an extension (if you need it) for only a few bucks more than sets with 1, 2, or 3 tips.  You may want to have someone assist with hard to reach areas like triceps or hamstrings.  I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 because of the effort needed to insert the bit into my Bauer jig saw.  I've seen videos of these types of bits popping right into other jig saws with no effort at all, so if you have one of the ones known to be compatible, it'll be an easy install.  And for those of you like me where he bit seems to be too thick, try tapping it in with a rubber mallet.


My daughter broke out horribly with diaper rash whenever we used regular baby wipes on her. So, I went in search of the awesome wipes they had at the hospital, and this was the closest I could get. It is more cloth material than paper, so no leaving paper bits once wet on baby's bottom. I keep a peri bottle filled with water and use it to wet down the wipe for diaper changes. I've used them for a year now, and no complaints. They always ship quickly, and 200 wipes lasts me about 2 to 3 weeks. They're also great to have in the car to clean up after playing outside or anything else as I know I'm not putting chemicals on my daughters hands or near her mouth. My husband loves them because he can use one to apply diaper rash cream after diaper changes keeping the residue off his hands as well as makes things a little more PC now that she's getting older. They're soft, durable, bigger and clean more surface area than regular wipes, and for about the same cost.These clothes are superb to use in place of baby wipes. I first got the idea from the hospital and found them on amazon. They are thick and soft and do not tear or rip. Most newborns do not need any additional chemical on their skin to clean them during diaper changes other than water. In fact, my daughter's skin was really sensitive and I wanted to minimize the recurrence of diaper rash so I stopped with the baby wipes and began using these! Awesome! I find other uses for them as well, such as wiping her face or her body down, etc. Very handy! I was given the opportunity to review this product at a discounted price in exchange for my honest and unbiased review.

I am 21 weeks pregnant with twins. I have a support belt from Motherhood from my 1st (singleton) pregnancy that I found to be uncomfortable and really rather unhelpful. I only tried wearing it 3 times and just gave up. (I did not have back pain with my first pregnancy, and have not had it - yet- my problem is that my belly feels too heavy and I want support holding it up!) The Motherhood belt seems to be just for back support. This one, however, provides both!

I have the same complaints about it that other reviewers have noted - the shoulder straps show above the collar of most shirts (I solve this by safety pinning it to my bra straps - i'd like to attach something like lingere snaps directly to the shoulder straps, so I can just snap it around my bra straps). That helps for the collar problem with most shirts. It is still a problem with lower cut and v-neck shirts.

I do wish there were more eye hooks on the part that supports my belly. I was a size 6 before pregnancy, and at 21 weeks with twins I have a belly about the same size as mine was when I was full term with my singleton 1st baby. I've been switching between the middle and loosest hooks. An option to hook it between those two would probably work better. It does look like it would be easy to add an extra set of eye hooks (and I just might do that), but so far it has been more of a minor irritation. I start most days on the middle hooks, and if/when it starts to feel like it's digging in I just adjust it to the looser option and it's fine for the rest of the day. Slightly less support that way, but still leaps and bounds better than no support.

It is incredibly easy to make all of the adjustments while wearing this product. I can easily and quickly adjust it during one of my frequent trips to the bathroom at work. I wear the style of maternity pants that come up over my belly, so I do need to pull that down in order to adjust the belly support. It is not necessary to take it off or adjust it when going to the bathroom. (I remember the Maternity one being uncomfortable going to the bathroom while wearing). It is flexible enough to adjust well enough that it does not dig in anywhere while sitting.

Although I wasn't experiencing any back pain before wearing this, I'm really loving the excellent back support. It feels great, and I have noticed that it helps me keep better posture, which I'm sure will prevent future back pain.

Highly recommend this product, and also hope the manufacturer works on fixes for the two problems noted above (don't let those two things keep you from purchasing this product, though - they're minor and it's possible to work around them, which is worth it considering the incredible support it provides).


I gave this a 5 star rating considering I purchased it on a deal for $18. Had I paid the full price tag I would have likely reduced the rating to 4 stars purely because I'm anal about the smaller details.

What it gets right - is perhaps the most important element, telling you your weight! I've tested the unit about 18 times on 3 different surfaces around the house. Be aware that the first time you weight yourself (even after moving the scale) the scale seems to calibrate itself. It's off by about 5 lbs the first attempt. Each subsequent attempt (5x on each surface) is within .4 lbs of the other attempts. This accuracy combined with the body measure tape will give you two solid measurements to track your progress. Speaking of the measuring tape, it works well and is a nice added bonus. I opted for the silver edition to match my satin nickel accessorized bathroom, and it goes quite well together. Overall the fit and finish is pretty solid, from afar the unit looks quite appealing.

What it starts to diminish with - is the finer details. My largest gripe is that the base does not sit even with the glass. On the left side the gap is 1/2", but on the right side it's 7/16". Again, this is me being anal. If you're looking at it from far it's hardly noticeable.

Where the glass meets the base the scale has pads that feature a nice chrome mirror finish with concentric circles reminiscent of a vinyl record. However the majority of the base itself is a bland silver-ish color indicative of its price tag. One thing that irks me is the one liner "Max=400lbs D=0.2lbs" below the digital display. I feel it ruins the more expensive vibe it tries to give off, this kind of tag could have just been inserted into an instruction manual or underneath the unit. Also, the box image (4 of 5) is most indicative of the product you will receive. It has a two liner etched into the bottom center of the glass "MOSISO Smart Step On Technology." Again, I feel like it cheapens the unit. It would have been nice if it were just a sticker and removable. Of course the body measure tape includes a MOSISO branding as well. For a freebie I'm not complaining though!

Overall I like the unit a lot, the body measure tape is a freebie I don't often see so it's nice to be able to track two different metrics. At the end of the day it's a scale, and as long as it's repeatably accurate that's all that matters.


So spoilers, this stuff is amazing and every woman should at least have this in their medicine cabinet.

My story:  I’d had a terrible UTI after sex (I know it was sex for sure) in January of this year (2016), was put on nitrofurantoin (macrobid), and it resolved, but I never felt quite right after.  I avoided sex until April, 2016, and I developed another severe UTI.  The day of sex I was normal, next day bloody urine, no gradual build-up of pain or anything.  I’m very lucky I had a wonderful doctor at my local urgent care, because after not having a UTI for the first 6.5 years of my relationship with one person, I’m suddenly getting UTIs immediately after sex, EVERY TIME?  She referred me to a urologist, but in the wait to see him, again, I didn’t feel right, pressure in my bladder that would get painful if jostled too much, like in a car.  Was put on ciprofloxacin because I’d already taken nitrofurantoin, and just in case I had a strain of bacteria that wasn’t able to be cultured, but was there and needed to be killed.

When I finally saw the urologist (June), he put me on trimethoprim at the lowest dose possible, as a preventative while my bladder mucosal lining healed after being DESTROYED by my severe UTIs (which can take 4-6 months, this is also why women have a higher chance of getting a UTI within the first 6mos after a previous UTI.  The bladder hasn’t fully recovered and is more susceptible to infection).  But he also told me that I definitely should get a D-Mannose supplement, because anecdotally his clients have been loving it.  He even printed out an abstract of the most recent clinical trial to back it up, which convinced me to try it.  So I immediately found a bottle and my pain resolved within days.  It basically does what pop culture makes you think cranberry juice is supposed to do.

I prefer the powder format, because the pills are gigantic and you have to take 3-4 of them to get the full effect of a teaspoon of the powder form.  I put the powder in my water bottle before I leave for work/school, and try to drink it within an hour instead of sipping it throughout the day.
Yes it’s a bit expensive, but if you haven’t had a UTI in a long time/ever, but just want a preventative, taking it every few days and before and after sex is good practice.  If you’re like me and had interstitial cystitis that WOULD NOT RESOLVE, this is perfect in combination with prophylactic antibiotics, and life long preventative after the antibiotic course is over.


EDIT: It's been a little over a year since I first bought this bag and I've used it for work (carrying medical equipment, opening, closing, tossing around) probably an average of 4 days a week and it's held up like a dream. The seams are all still good and I can tell it'll be good for years to come. 100% glad I bought this one.

I work as a mobile phlebotomist, meaning I drive house to house, drawing blood specimens, doing point of care testing, taking measurements and medical history. I wanted a professional looking bag that I could keep all of my supplies in and I saw how great the trauma bags were at my local ambulance corps were so I bought this one! I can finally carry just one bag for work.

PROS:
-Fits all the stuff I need for work, including the small floor scale I use to weigh patients (it even fits with a bit of wiggle room!) Extra needles, urine cups, extra blood tubes, a small sharps box, alcohol swabs, BP cuff, trauma supplies (band aids, gauze, tape, dressing etc), it fits oral airways on the loops that you see on the pictures on the main flap, penlight, ring cutters, CPR mask, and a folder with everybody's paperwork. It even fits extra lab kits in the side pockets.
-And with the dividers it comes with, it all fits *neatly*, too.
-The material is tough, so I'm pretty sure it'll last a long time.

CONS
-The loops I put the airways in are all the same sized loop. They're just a little too big for the small airways and they fit the big airways very tightly. The penlight is a bit loose on the loop (just hanging onto that loop by the clip)
-On the front side there you see a big star of life but on the back side, there's a big "LIGHTNING X PRODUCTS" logo. I personally think it's kinda tacky to put big logos on stuff, especially medical/trauma bags. But at least the logo doesn't look bad.

All in all, I'm very glad I bought this. For all you mobile phlebotomists or mobile medical examiners, this is a great bag. *especially* for the price. For all you EMT's out there, this would definitely make a good jump bag for your car.


When I bought this product I was a week into this chalazion or stye being formed and it had grown to the size of pea, maybe a bit larger on my upper eyelid. I'm still not sure what I had exactly, whether it be a chalazion or stye, but it was swollen, red, painful, and got to the point where it was hindering my vision. It also did not have a visible head to it except for bit of redness right under my eye lid.  I read online, that at the point it got to I should of gone to the doctor, but there were plenty of people who said they went and surgery was the only option for relief. I did not want to have surgery done on my eyelid especially if there was a way I can resolve this issue at home. I did my fair share of research for home remedies, at first I tried just a hot compresses when I noticed a small bump higher up on my eyelid start forming since at this point it was only swollen once I woke up and only painful if put a bit of pressure on it. A few days later it was even more swollen and larger so I tried ACV. This didn't seam to help at all, and I think it was because there was no visible head to it. I ended up getting TRP Stye Relief at the store which helped with the pain. By then it was larger but stopped causing swelling to the entire eye.

I was like you probably scoping the Internet to try and find some answers and way to get rid of this thing. There were a lot of good reviews on this product so I thought why not and gave it a shot. After using it for a couple days my bump has gone done by 50% and there is no more pain. It is also really soothing since using the hot compresses, ACV, and washing it made my eye area tender. The oil is really thick and a little goes a long way too. I wake up, wash it, put a hot compress for 20 minutes then then I just rub the oil on the bump, under my lash line and I also pick up my eyelid and apply a bit under as well. Then before bed I wash it, do the hot compress and then apply the oil again.  It is still on its way to healing but I just wanted to say that it is working. So far it has helped tremendously, since I thought I was never going to get rid of this thing it the slightest way. I know that this review is long but since everyone is slightly different I assumed the more details the better. The pictures are after and before.....


Great book.Must read (hoping to translate to english).the autor is well known about Quran and it's contratictions.daring question islam.Refusing to live any longer in that box..
According to Islam.Jihad "fighting unbelievers for the cause of God",Muhammed is messenger of God,those who are with him are fierce to the unbelievers,merciful to one another. is must by any muslim ,for islam to overshadow the world till everyone convert to Islam."Muhammed's God "in Quran loves to shed blood.blessing and watching .and even recruit angles to fight by Muhammed {messenger of mercy}..Was he the same the mighty God the one create human and loves him?
But what Jihad promising?
Spoils,women,properties even slaves and certianly superieity.
But what if killed?
things getting better here....voluptuous virgins are awaiting for muslims only in Muhammed imaginary promising paradise.Gardens with rivers of wine and honey flowing under them ,endless of pleasure..
Extremists and fundamentals Islam are everywhere and around you.are the one behind brain washing ideology..
But what is the source?
Quran is the source.urges muslims for Jihad against unbelievers{subhuman and failth}whenever you found them.this is the simple concept of Jihad..
Quran starts with hatred and finishes with killing others.and between, as author Hamed abdel shmed said is Supermarket( everything)..and to give Jihad a wider view ,Islamics commentators and scolars have let their fantasies run free...
Isis are true muslims .who is fellowing their prophet's steps .1400 years back,Muhammed left arabia{christians/jews}free.imposing Islam and it's Sharia..
1400 years apart,but still connected,because Islam simply is not willing to adapt today's life,refusing to modernize ,believing Quran is God's words.can't be change or modified ,therefore is for anytime and anywhere.
In fact.everytime muslims insist of imposing Quran as the one souce and solution to their society.their society,human rights,moral,modernity, will fall downdeep ,
Muslim has always been a slave to Islam own birth,while the world moved rapidly with the current ,the Islamic world preferred to have one more nap.
the big question I always asked.what Islam could bring to western or Japenise societies to make and create a better person??????


7/30/13 update:

Last Thursday, July 25, the light failed to come on, and I called Verilux. Theresa explained that the first step in warranty service is to send the customer a replacement bulb. If that doesn't solve the problem, the next step is to send the customer a replacement ballast. The bulb arrived four days later, i.e., Monday, July 29. That was all it took. Kudos to Verilux for speedy, cheerful and efficient warranty service. Why a 10,000 hour bulb failed after 7.5 months of normal use is another matter.

(end of update)

This floor lamp looks mighty handsome next to our recliner chair, puts out more than enough illumination in three strengths, and adjusts many ways to throw the light where you want it. Despite all the adjustability, I was surprised to find that the angle and rotation setting of the head aren't that critical. The lamp generates a very wide beam - more like a blanket - that bathes my entire lap in light. The light is very white without being overly cool (i.e., blueish) and is very easy on the eyes. The base is quite heavy and the two sections of the pole screw on solid with no wobble. Unlike another reviewer's experience, the model I received has enough of a machined screw-type head protruding from the base to support the lamp.

The high-medium-low-off rotary switch is reachable from your chair - just lift your arm to turn the lamp on or off. The height adjustment, alas, is not very convenient. You raise or lower the lamp head by first loosening the height adjusting collar (visible on the product illustration). You then pull the head up or push it down. To do this, though, you must either feed in extra cord or pull out the excess. For other than the smallest adjustment, you can't do this from your chair.

It is also worth noting that the first unit I received flickered at the lowest setting until it warmed up. I called Verilux, who told me that this was not normal behavior, and that the reason for the flicker might be other than a defective bulb. Thanks to Amazon's super return policy, I had a replacement unit that worked properly within days. Be aware that once you're beyond Amazon's return period, the true cost of warranty service from Verilux (1 year limited) is substantial. The reason is that you must pay to ship this heavy object to Verilux, and Verilux currently charges over $20 to ship it back to you after servicing it.

All in all, the Verilux Heritage Lamp eliminates eyestrain while adding warmth to our home. I'm very satisfied with this product.


About four months ago, I was offered a free Antrolife Blood Pressure Monitor for review via the Amazon Vine Program, and I accepted.

My blood pressure (BP) has always been a little high.  It's great to be able to track it at home with a straightforward, compact, lightweight, easy-to-read, easy-to-use device like this.  It is SUPER easy to use.  The most difficult part is putting the arm cuff on, and that's easy!  Once you have the arm cuff in the correct position, slightly above the elbow, attach the hose to the main unit and press start.  The built in voice guidance is fairly good and understandable.  The cuff will inflate and your BP will register on the bright, crystal clear screen.  When the reading is all done, the unit will read the results aloud and give you a prognosis.  Depending on what you're shooting for, your interpretation of the numbers may be a little different than what it says though.

The unit itself is lightweight, but feels like it's well made.  I like the clean design a lot, too.  The edges are all rouned so it's easy to handle and hold.  The LED screen is super crystal clear and easy to read... in fact, I'm not 100% certain, but I think it may be OLED.  There are four rubber feet on the bottom along with the the speaker.  The cuff is easy to insert and remove.  The design is great.

It comes with a nice little carry case that fits the main unit, the arm cuff and a USB-A to USB-C cable for using it without batteries (and it includes 4xAAA batteries).

Overall, it is an excellent quality device at an incredible price point.  I gotta say that at this price, everyone should have one of these along with a fingertip blood oxygen monitor and maybe even one of the new ECG (EKG) readers.  Take charge of your health.  The first step is knowing your readings.  Highly recommended.

Just a little side note:  One of the most important things in taking an accurate BP reading is to be relaxed.  If you look up info on the proper procedure, you're really not supposed to be doing any activity for at least 10 to 15 minutes prior to the reading and certainly you wouldn't take a BP reading for hours after any strenuous excercise.  BP is very sensitive to both physical activity and stress.  IMO the best time to do it is when you're relaxing at home, maybe even just prior to going to bed.  When you put the cuff on, try to stay calm and let it do it's thing.  You can throw off a reading by a lot just by being tense.


About two weeks ago, I was offered a free Antrolife's Blood Pressure Monitor for review via the Amazon Vine Program, and I accepted.

My blood pressure (BP) has always been a little high.  It's great to be able to track it at home with a straightforward, compact, lightweight, easy-to-read, easy-to-use device like this.  It is SUPER easy to use.  The most difficult part is putting the arm cuff on, and that's easy!

What I like about this particular brand of protein powder, is that it can operate as more than just a post workout recovery drink, and do double duty as a meal replacement as well. A couple of years back, I had some surgical procedures in my mouth as a result of some receding gum lines, that required gum grafts. That really is as unpleasant as it sounds. I mentioned that, because at the time it was difficult to eat solid foods for a while, so I was more or less on a liquid diet. I would very much like to have had this protein at that time, as a meal replacement because I feel it would have done a very good job of offering a good overall nutritional value. In this case, I have been using it as a post workout recovery drink. For that purpose, it works very well too. I do fairly high impact resistance training, so by the end of it I'm spent. My muscles certainly benefit from post workout recovery drinks that are protein rich, and will encourage muscle regeneration and synthesis. I found that this protein did nicely at helping me recover from my workouts. I have had the opportunity of trying the vanilla flavored one as well, and I think I actually prefer that one to the chocolate. My wife on the other hand, very much prefers the chocolate. So, I guess you can see that it's obviously going to be subjective. I personally found the chocolate to be a little sweet for my taste. So it's no surprise that my wife liked it, because she has quite the sweet tooth. I did find it to have just a touch of a grainy texture, but certainly nowhere near as bad as others that I have tried. I use a ninja blender that has a smoothie attachment, and that thing does a pretty incredible job of pulverizing the powder. I make my shakes very simply by just adding ice and water, with a couple scoops of this protein powder. As far as the ratios of how much water to powder I use, I usually experiment with that and don't pay much attention to the recommendations by the manufacturer. Personally, I prefer to dilute it a little bit in more water, as I find that makes for a more pleasant drink. All in all, I do like the fact that it has a good nutritional balance of fibers, vitamins, and minerals, as well as the protein content. Like I mentioned, when I had my surgery, it would have been nice to have had this as an option as well as the Ensure drinks that I was always having. I think it's a fine option, and I would recommend it.


I absolutely love this product so far! I have tasted my fair share of pre-workouts that were so artificial that they were almost unbearable to drink. HOWEVER, Unaltered does an amazing job with the flavor and it not tasting too artificial/ super sweet. I was expecting the color to be bright for some reason, however it was a darker color and the components started to set after a while (I accidentally left it in the car for 30 minutes) it’s not big deal though, a nice thorough whisk and they remixed back with the water and the rest of the dissolved supplement. I usually start my warm up right before the 30 minutes window is up before it starts to kick in and I feel like it’s beneficial for me and helps get my head in the game than waiting for it to completely kick in first.

All of my workouts have been done at home with various dumbbell, kettlebell and banded exercise moves. So for the first week I took half scoop each session since it has been a few months since I’ve taken a pre-workout. I am on day two of taking full scoops and let me tell you, I love how this product makes my body feel- so much stronger  and more of a sustained focus on my workout without being over bearing. The difference between last week and this week has been so great for me- I am able to use heavier weights for some of my reps, more reps and sets, and my workouts are lasting longer. After my workouts I do not feel as exhausted and my body has adjusted to how it feels Post-workout too. I am not as sore after my workouts, and I don’t feel too fatigued that I don’t want to continue the upcoming workouts. I use my Apple Watch to monitor my heart rate during my workouts and is used to increase rapidly during each rep and slow back down rapidly, with the pre-work out I noticed that my heart rate steadily climbs during each rep AND STAYS elevated even during my rest periods between my reps and set unlike without it. I feel like I am having really positive effects while using this pre-workout, and cannot wait to see more results!The pictures are 6 days apart- the progress is starting to become more noticeable in muscle definition, although I still have a long way to go I’m proud of how far I have come. I cannot wait to see what goals I can accomplish using the unaltered products!

Love this product! And highly recommend it!


I figured as I was about to purchase my 4th bottle of this, I may as well leave a review. I have an old grumpy cat who has taken to soiling anywhere she happens to be if I don't pick her up and carry her to the litter box in time. Needless to say I haven't been around to do that or I haven't picked up on her kitty cues exactly when she's wanting to go 100% of the time and thus she's soiled a lot of fabric-covered things in my home over the past two years!

I've taken to using waterproof mats (like you might put in a crib, etc) on my chairs, sofa, bed, etc. However, as I don't want my apartment just looking like a giant wee wee pad, I've been covering them with multiple colorful 100% cotton throws that I can also toss into the wash.

Let me tell you, cat piss stinks, female, male, it all stinks!!! I've tried a lot of things and no matter how quickly you get a soiled item into the wash, most of those products don't fully get the stink out. I gave Skout's Honor Laundry Booster a try last year and it is now my go-to product. I don't even follow the directions. I just get the wash started with Persil detergent (because it also had great reviews for getting the stink out) and squirt a very generous amount of the Skout's Honor in with it, like maybe 1/2-3/4 cup depending how bad I think the situation is. I let it agitate just a bit to be sure all the laundry is covered with liquid and to give it all a better chance to mix in. Then I stop it for an hour and just let it soak (have old school upright coin-operated machine in our laundry room, so that means I just lift the lid and it stops:).

After that I let the whole wash, rinse, spin cycle continue and dry it as usual in the dryer. I always give it the sniff test when all is finished and I have not been disappointed yet! I have some other products in the laundry room that are meant to do the same thing, but I can't bring myself to try them now, because I've been disappointed before-- nothing like a failed sniff test--yuck!

Skout's Honor just works for me. So those other bottles will continue to sit on the shelf while I place an order for my 4th bottle of Skout's Honor Laundry Booster! And no I have not received any free product for my review, although I would love some:)!


I have been using this product for a long time - probably 11 years. I love how it helps me to not have pain and be able to move.  I have a bad scoliatic back, bad hips ( I have had one hip joint replacement several years ago but not the other), and bad knees (I have had lateral releases and arthoscopic on both my knees and have deep crevices under both knee caps where the cartilage is gone) plus I have arthritis. Only pain I sometimes get now is a little in my lower back if I walk a long way without my cane ( I am also about 40 lbs overweight and nearly 70 yrs old). If I am just doing my normal activities including a day of shopping and errands, I have no pain because of flexicose plus. I can tell how much the flexicose plus helps as on rare occasions I run out of the product or forget to take it and within 24 hours I am in hurt city - bad. My dog (a lab) is 11 yrs old and was starting to walk slow, limp badly, and seemed to be in a lot of pain. He would even chew on his wrists until they bleed. After taking Xrays, the vet said he was very arthritic, I started giving him my flexicose plus a few months ago and within a couple of weeks he was running and acting like a much much younger dog. He is 75 lbs and I give him a teaspoon each day in the morning. I pour it on his food and then add a little roast beef to disguise the taste and smell of the flexicose plus. He hasn't chewed on this front paws since (after a couple of weeks of taking it). If you start taking this, give it a few weeks to take effect before you judge it's effectiveness. Also it has a slight taste that at first may seem a little unpleasant - sort of a slight fishy smell. After a couple of times you won't even notice that. I highly recommend this product. Of all the things I have tried, this works the best. I tried Move Free and other products but they didn't help.  I read that you only get about 10% absorption from them as they are pills. Flexicose is a liquid so you get 100% of the value.  I take it straight from a spoon first thing in the morning. I take a tablespoon each morning. I store it in the refrigerator.


I have ulcerative colitis and I am doing a major year long detox with Ann Boroch - (look her up she is and amazing nutritionist in California, been on TV, has an awesome book) - anyway she put me on a system that she has designed and taking repairvite was part of that system and my colon felt amazing after taking this product upon rising and before bed every day.  I had to use 2 tubs in one month and she only had me on it for one month but the results were great.  The burning in my colon went down and my digestive system as a whole feels a lot more smooth and healthy.

The repairvite helps with "leaky gut" - an issue many people have but don't realize.  Both men and women have yeast and bacteria overgrowth in their digestive systems, especially if you have ever taken antibiotics - antibiotics throw your yeast balance out of whack.  Most men think yeast imbalances are for women but they are not.  Anyway if you have an overgrowth of yeast and bacteria in your gut, over time it turns into a fungus and burrows through the lining of your colon - then it leaks out into the rest of your body.  This can cause you to become toxic and over-produce mucus.  I'm not a super science person so I advise you to look it up for yourself, ha but all I can say is that with my ulcerative colitis my other organs filtering organs have had to compensate for my colon's lack and for filtering my leaky gut (which I never knew I had) and so after having my organs scanned by Ann, I found out that my gallbladder, liver, kidneys, lungs, colon, and adrenal glands were like "sludge" I am unable to digest food and filter out toxins.  Taking this repairvite dramatically changed that, after 1 month I had my body scanned again and there was drastic improvement.  My colon is still toxic so I am still on the system and she has me on some other supplements (we are working on a set of organs at a time each month so I don't overload my body with too much detoxing).

I am feeling MUCH better - which is saying a lot because for over 10 years I have tried so many detox programs to alleviate the agony of my colon.

The only downside is that it has really scratchy pieces of some sort of fiber or herb that they use.  I got used to the taste mixing it with water after a few days and it tasted better than any other drinkable supplement that I have taken.  I also mixed it with coconut milk on a few occasions and it tasted awesome like an actual caramel shake!

If your digestive system could use some healing, I would highly recommend this!


I've had the [[ASIN:B002JE2PSA Withings WiFi Body Scale, Black]] for several years and wanted to try the Aria scale because I'd used the Fitbit tracker for some time.

THE SETUP
I was able to setup the scale for myself fairly easily, but there's another in my house and inviting his email always failed. We just got an error message that said he couldn't be added. I contacted support and they literally didn't have clue. I've developed enough Web sites in my time to know that it's fairly easy to set up error and exception logging, so I'm not sure why they were so slow to help. Finally, after a week of weighing myself, support suggested I delete my account (the primary) and try to add my friend as the primary and then reinvite myself since it seemed my address had already gone through once. I immediately questioned if they were sure about this advice, because I'd lose my data and a weeks worth of measurements. I heard back 24 hours later from someone else saying that was the wrong advice, and I never should been told to do that.  Thankfully, I was smart enough to know and hadn't. Another week went by and the invite just started working magically.

USE
Compared to the Withings scale, the measurement and display seems clunky. I can never quite tell what it's doing and if you're not careful about moving around, you'll get duplicate measures. It does vary a lot. You can step on it a minute later get entirely different readings. To be fair, the same is true of the Withings scale, and I think digital scales in general. The Aria though, weighed me consistently 2 pounds heavier than the Withing scale. My body fat percentage was always about 2 - 3 points less though.

DATA
The Withings Website beats Fitbit's far and away when it comes to tracking and visualizing weight and body fat data. Afterall, weight and BMI are pretty much meaningless numbers if lean mass aren't taken into account. But I could never figure out how to get the Fitbit website to actually tell me how many pounds of body fat it registered, as opposed to just the percentage. Withings does that quite nicely and it also has a beautiful mobile app that I like even more than the Web site. I could've sworn hovering over the measures showed actual pounds of body fat, not just percents, but that seemed to stop a few days in. Withings will also show you lean mass, which the Aria doesn't seem to do.

I might've kept the scale had it not been for the technical problems inviting other users, the clunky display and the poor use of data on their web site.


I want to first say that I'm not a paid reviewer but I am a diehard fan and local customer of A&M and this Relief roller is one of my absolute favs that I don't go a single day without! I use it on the back of mine and my kids necks when we have colds and it instantly allows air through congested nostrils and lungs. It works wonders and truly does provide instant relief to headaches when applied to the temples. And my daily place I use it is on any knots I may have in my neck and shoulders and I can't say how much the menthol relieves pain and tension!!

Absolutely obsessed with literally *every* magnificent concoction I've tried! I always get more when I run out and I will continue to do so☺ I started shopping here locally when I got pregnant with my second child. Wanted to use more organic and once I started trying a bit here and there I became addicted lol I noticed everything I got WORKED more than a million other chemically filled and pricey products.. I love buying from places where the products actually do *exactly* what they claim, so if you feel the same, believe me, you NEED to try A&M!

Since converting to these specific amazing natural products I am legit hooked🙌 Their deodorants work wonders and are literally the first/only natural deodorant I have found to finally WORK😀👍 Their anti aging products make a noticeable difference even in the first week of use(two of my favs are the Vitamin C Facial Moisturizer and the Liquid Gold AntiAging Serum)..

 The rollers and sprays actually add peace and joy to my days, totally help aching muscles and relieve anxiety, etc.(I suffer from OCD and PTSD as well as awful knots in my neck and shoulders and the Relief Roller and Relief(as well as the Peace) CBD salve- and even more products, have literally been such a blessing to me for relieving stress and physical pain- GRATEFUL)! Everyone I've gifted these products to totally love them just as much and get hooked too. You *can't help* but feel relaxed and refreshed with the blends/scents/oils used in these wondrous creations; Don't know how I lived without Annabell's creations for the last 33 years.. I'm so excited for other people to try Auntie and Me products now that they're on Amazon, you will not regret it☺ So happy I found her and Brenda and their products!!❤


I've recently received this "Posture Corrector".  I've only had a short time wearing it, but so far its pretty good and I  like it very much.  Just note, like with any corrector your body will have to adjust to wearing it over time.  A few years ago, I had a single back strap style bought it from a brick and mortar store.  After putting it on over a hoodie twice while trying it out to keep it very clean, I felt nothing different, and I wasn't sure what it was trying to do so I returned it. However, for this style I have now, I do feel my shoulders being pulled back, nothing else though.  Truthfully..., I really don't know what exactly you are suppose to feel straightening up, since I only feel my shoulders being squeezed together.  I guess, it's doing something!  LOL! But time will tell when if my neck is able to hold my head up higher without constantly dropping it back down.  Hopefully! After time it won't say, "Nope! I still can't do it, now go find something else😄!"  Well, I ordered the full upper back covering style pictured. Here are my photos, so check them out because one thing for sure this corrector is made, and stitched extremely well.  Look at the nice zip lock storage packaging, along with the colorful detailed instructions card to hang up on the frig.  Well... that's where I put it as a reminder to don't take another snack, and put it on.  Also, the comfort wraps, those square things are nice and thick, plus also made very well. The weather is hot, so I do think after many hand washing cycles, all three items will hold up for a very long time. LOL! Of course I can't forget to mention the disappointing cons, well its only one. The wrap around pull straps are too short.  Yet, on Amazon they appear much longer, but they are little wee bit difficult to grap to pull, and if someone with a much wider upper back, the straps may end up fastening slightly under their armpits instead of closer to their shoulders as pictured.  But if it does, I guess you could try giving the comfort wraps a go under the armpits.  So would I recommend this style of "Posture Corrector" to friends.  ABSOLUTELY☺!!!  It's made very well.  It is a short time wearing it, so once I start to see changes within my posture, I will give a final update.


I received my new bottle of Epo - Support (Advanced Formula) from Biopharm Nutraceuticals Inc. in the mail awhile ago and decided it was about time for me to write my review. Quick overview for those of you who are new to the health benefits associated with this product; ViMulti uses all natural products like Guarana and Green Tea extract to supercharge your body with controlled levels of energy throughout your extraciricular activities (mine being basketball). ViMulti differs from energy drinks or shots in that the body absorbs capsules at a slower and more consistent pace as opposed to energy drinks that give you a quick energy peak followed by a crash. Green Tea and Vitamin C found in ViMulti are also powerful antioxidants which help to eliminate fatigue causing free radicals in the body.

Overall Opinion: If you live an active lifestyle BUY THIS PRODUCT from hiking to kayaking to basketball EPO-Support will help keep you going. I suffered from chronic pains post a vehicle accident which prevented me from maintaining my active lifestyle for roughly a year now; I have since tried to return to the activities I love though routinely experienced a lack of energy and debilitating cramping in my legs (hiking/ basketball). However, since I have added EPO - Support  on a routine basis I have seen a dramatic improvement in both aspects. ViMulti has aided me greatly in restoring my life and has gained a loyal customer in the process. Thank you....

This organic cotton is absolutly great. It's one long 13 ft. sliver of cotton all wound up and packaged in a zip lock bag. This cotton is probably the best wick I've ever tried. It's clean, has no chemical taste, no dyes added, nothing. U will find a black specks here and there but those are just lil pieces from the actual cotton plant, and it just tells u that it's true, unprocessed, organic cotton. This stuff wicks SOO good, once u finally find the end of the cotton sliver, u just cut a small length off, and then that can actually peel it in half or in 3rds, or even 4ths depending on ur wicking preferences. One 13 ft. Bag can last u a long time if ur good at only cutting off wut u need and not wasting the rest that u've peeled off. Honestly I say less, is more when it comes to wicking my coils. I can pull a single piece apart multiple times and save it for later. But once u have ur preferd piece of cotton cut, it passes thru ur coils really smoothly, it doesn't fall apart or get stray threads caught up on a sharp edges or wutever, or loose it's integrity. And this stuff is so light and fluffy, once ur coils are all wicked up and u start adding juice, u will be amazed by how much this stuff will absorb, it sucks the juice up super fast and holds soo much. I've wicked multiple builds in the 2 1/2 weeks that I've had this cotton, and vaped the begeezuz out of them with no problems, hit after hit, day after day, chain vaping, wutrver and I haven't gotten one single dry hit and it doesn't get burn either, this stuff wicks great, last long, and the flavor and clouds it produces is insane, obviously a lot of that has to due with the coil ur vaping to, but this cotton, compared to others is all around much much better. I've tried tons of other wicks, cotton bacon, native wicks, organic pads, those crappy shoelace style wicks, and plenty others, and I have to say this is probably hands down the BEST wick I've ever tried. The only one con I had was that shipping did take a little while, but that was expected. If ur looking for a great wick and have come across this stuff, I would highly recommend u purchase this stuff and try it out, u won't be disappointed.


I had been using Manduka's mat wash, but the idea of using something more natural appealed to me. I purchased the 6 bottle deal because it was the best value, and I wanted to try a few scents. Although not all of the scents deserve a 5 star rating (in my opinion), their cleaning ability, natural ingredients, and the included microfiber towel make up for a couple of misses in the fragrances.

Obviously, the appeal of a scent is very subjective, but this is what worked for me and what did not.

5 Stars: Soothing Sweet Rose
I normally hate floral scents. In fact perfume gives me migraines. This has none of the typical cloying smells that are generally found in floral-scented products. The rose smells like what you would find in a garden, not on a store shelf. The scent is not overpowering, but it is strong enough to be enjoyed while using the mat. This quickly became my favorite out of all of the bottles, and I wish I could buy just this scent in a 6 pack.

5 Stars: Energizing Peppermint
This is a close second to the rose scent. It is refreshing but not overwhelming; in fact, the scent is fairly faint, even while being applied. It is just enough to notice during savasana.

4 Stars: Uplifting Eucalyptus
I HATED this scent when I first tried it. My first thought was that I had just coated my mat with the equivalent of Vicks VapoRub. I was wondering how to get the stench off of the mat before I began my practice, and the only positive I could come up with was that it might be nice if I used it when I had a cold. Surprisingly, once it dried, the scent was really pleasant. The medicine smell dissipated, and what was left was enjoyable even through extended Child's Pose.

1 Star: Calming Citrus
This was one of the scents that I expected to like the most, and the scent literally made me feel nauseous. It smelled like I had doused my mat in 409. Despite the natural ingredients (and yes, I double checked that nothing artificial had been slipped into this bottle), it was overpowering and artificial smelling. I think this could be salvaged with the addition of a ginger scent, but as it is, it is unbearable.

I didn't try the lavender since I purchased that for my daughter, but it seems like enough other reviews have covered that anyway. I haven't tried the unscented either since I enjoy the other scents too much to take a break from them for now.


I recently finished my first ever bottle of this product. This is a good option to ease into using Serrapeptase if you have never used it before. It’s also a good option for those who cannot tolerate the capsules. Serrapeptase is powerful stuff and and the capsules can cause very unpleasant side effects like nausea, headaches, and dizziness in first-time users. It’s best to start slow and in small doses. Although this product claims to have the same effectiveness as 120,000 SU capsules, that is simply not true, but it does have an effect. It’s just a mild one, and that makes it a great way to ease into using Serrapeptase.  When I started using this, I had never used Serrapeptase in any form before. I wanted to heal my painful fibrocystic breasts and as a side bonus clear up my allergy-induced sinus issues. I tried the recommended dose (two pumps a day)with no effect whatsoever. I increased to a second dose per day then a third dose—taking a dose (two pumps) roughly every 8 hours. Still no noticeable effects. But the bottle says each dose gives only 3500SU and so 3 doses was still only about 10,000SU per day. So I began taking a double dose (4 pumps) 3 times a day to get 20,000SU. At that dose my sinus issues were about 75% improved, but no effect on breast pain. Still no side effects, however, the taste is not pleasant and when you use that much a day the taste becomes overwhelming! I realized I needed something stronger for my breast pain, so I began using 45,000SU capsules. The first time I took one (on an empty stomach) I knew they were much stronger than this spray. Within 30 minutes the Serrapeptase hit my blood stream and I felt woozy and had a slight headache for several hours. At that point I was very grateful to this sublingual product for helping me work up a tolerance for Serrapeptase very gradually. I’m sure that if I had started with the capsules first, my side effects would have been much worse. I was able to adjust to the capsules by taking one every other day and using this product on the days I didn’t use the capsules until the side effects of the capsules lessened. The capsules do a better job of completely clearing my sinuses and also lessening breast pain. I hope eventually the fibrocystic breast disease will heal thanks to Serrapeptase. I did recently try some 120,000SU capsules and that dose causes my to get a bad headache and feel dizzy for hours. There’s no way that two pumps of this stuff is that strong! However, I am glad this stuff is not that strong or I couldn’t use it!


I bought three different kinds of 7 day / 4 times of day med organizers for my folks, and this was one of them. We kept this one, but I'm still not certain it's the best one for my folks' situation. (If I'd been able to find the EZY-Dose 4 a day / Weekly in Large, which NOW Amazon has, that would have been a serious contender. We'd found the medium but its compartments were too small.)

Pros:

- The pill compartments are good-sized and can hold Dad's two "horse pills" in one slot. The dividers can be rearranged, too, to make bigger slots (leaving fewer times per day).

- You can take out the pill bays to take with you if you won't be home when it's time for pills, and you're not stuck carrying the whole shebang.

- It has an attractive design that doesn't scream "pills!"

- It is so much easier to fill than the kind with individually hinged lids. Take off their lids, and plop plop plop!

Cons:

- The lid of the carrier case that holds the 7 individual pill bays is colored plastic, as are the lids of the individual pill bays. That means if you have the case closed, you're looking through two layers of colored plastic to see if you've taken your pills. If you order online where you're taking a chance on the color you get, you risk getting the smokey grey. With that color, it's going to be harder to see whether the pills were taken without lifting the carrier case lid, because the two layers of colored plastic are hard to see through. (Having just had it fall out of the cabinet, I'm glad the lid was there -- the bays would have popped open if they hadn't been in a case.) The picture shown for the product on Amazon showing the aqua one shows aqua's sheerness pretty accurately. I've seen aqua, fluorescent yellow, and smokey grey in person, and the first two are very easy to see through.

- If you're buying this product for a senior or someone with less manual dexterity, it may be too easy to accidentally uncover too much of a slot and dump out pills from another time frame. I told my mom to try to uncover only half the slot she needed so she wouldn't accidentally get pills from the next time slot.

- If you're buying this for a senior or someone with less mental dexterity, the lack of labelling may be confusing. I wish they'd provided labels to stick in the bays to help with when pills get taken. I lined the bottoms of the bays with strips of papers on which I'd written the times each set gets taken.


It's ok.

Honestly, this is not what I was expecting or hoping for.  The size is fine.  It's states that thes7e are 24cm long up to size 6 shoe, which would be a 7-8 woman's shoe when you jump from kids/mens sizing over to woman's/

I bought this pair more for our 14yo daughter who wears a 6-7 woman's shoe, or if she didn't like it or ift her, out youngest wears a kids 2, so I knew I oculd cut it down for him.

So, really the size is fine.  But, I think MOST poeple looking for a kid's insole probably want the small or med and probably want to err more on the smaller side -ordering smaller not bigger in THIS item for kids near the line of 2 sizes.

ok, so, I'm disappointed because it's listed as an "Orthtotic Sports Insole Arch and Comfort Support".  Two works stook out to me when chooising what to buy.  ORTHOTIC and ARCH Support.  My kids all have very flat feet, with ankle pronation and other effects from the lack of internal arch support.  I do try to buy them shoes with support, and like to have inserts to help, especially with shoes that are severly lacking.

The Arch support in these insoles is frankly pathetic.  The blue you see in the pucture is what provides the "Arch support" it's a very thin, very light plactic that doesvnot hold shape with any reasonalble pressure.

The create a real arch support you have to have a firm, relentless plactic that doens't give in to pressure, otherwise, why waste plactic there, other than to look like it's doing something.

I gave them to my daughter to try and she said the insoles are too think, don't really add much for her shoes.

I do like the grippy material on the bottom - wish other insoles had that.

They would work fine in a shoe that is missing it's insoles or really only has a flat piece of thin foam - they are better than that.  But, these are NOT an orthotic and do not have any real arch support.  A shame really.

I'm not sure if these will get used at all.  I don't think my daughter wants to bother with them, and I won't use them for our younger son unless they replace something that provides less support.

[[VIDEOID:686bdd359d47437f7536bdecb1c738b0]] When I see a new product that I have not already investigated, I research it for myself. Years ago, that was difficult if you didn't have a bunch of books on hand already. It meant checking out books from the Library and studying things out. We acquired many books and much study material on Health. Presently, it is so much easier to look things up online. It has been said; Ignorance is a choice in the age of the internet.
This brings us to the topic at hand literally, Haha. It is Beta Sitosterol by Spectra Essentials.
I was offered the chance to check out this great supplement at a reduced price and agreed to give an honest review. Well, I already knew of the benefits of taking Bata Sitosterol from listening to Dr. Asa on the radio and from other sources, so I didn't think I needed to research this one.
I already knew it is good for the Prostate and lowering Cholesterol. But what I didn't know is HOW it works. So to the internet I went. I saw all the information on what it does for example; it works as part of a cholesterol-lowering diet. It is good for preventing heart disease and a host of other things. The federal Food and Drug Administration even allows manufacturers to claim that foods containing plant sterol esters, such as beta-sitosterol are good for reducing the risk of coronary heart disease (CHD). This is based on the FDA’s conclusion that plant sterol esters may reduce the risk of CHD by lowering blood cholesterol levels.
So how then, does it work?
Beta-sitosterol is a plant substance similar to cholesterol. It might help reduce cholesterol levels by limiting the amount of cholesterol that is able to enter the body. It can also bind to the prostate to help reduce swelling (inflammation). Now I know that inflammation is a major cause of all manner of illness, so I am all about reducing inflammation. We already don't eat white flour and white sugar products just to prevent disease. My wife and I are in good health. No real health problems. We take no prescription meds. We have always been about prevention.
It is for this reason I will take Beta Sitosterol, to keep from having issues.
Thanks for letting me try this; I have already started on it this morning and feel good about doing good things for the body.


I take a variety of medicines, and I was a bit embarrassed to always carry around my pill bottles everywhere. I take 6 daily meds, various sizes. These have 7 compartments, 3 larger, 4 smaller. One of my pills is longer and bigger around than a Tylenol 500mg gelcap. One larger compartment holds exactly 8, oriented sideways. All my other pills are much smaller, so I can easily fit 8 or more in the other compartments. I use the 7th for Tylenol. I get to be the hero when I pull some out of my pink pill case for a coworker suffering a headache. I don’t know how many times it’s come in handy, just for that alone.

The container for the pills comes out of the carry case, so it’s easier to clean. The fact that you get two is also a nice bonus. You can still use one while you’re waiting on one to dry after washing.

I love(!) that it latches shut. I don’t have to worry about it coming open in my purse. (Meds are expensive, don’t want to lose any...) That was one reason I didn’t want the regular kind you find at drug stores, since they don’t seem secure.

I don’t notice any kind of odor, other than a faint plastic smell, but that’s everything when it’s new. There’s absolutely nothing flimsy about this. Even the inner pill holder feels tougher than I was expecting. Everything latches with a nice, audible “snap,” but they aren’t hard to open, which is a wonder.

My only “complaint” (if you can even call it that), is that the compartment on the far right is sliiiiightly smaller than the other two larger compartments. I think it’s because the edges are rounded. This would only be a problem if you needed to stuff all three with an exact number of larger pills, though. When I was trying to fit 8 of my largest pills, the lid to the inner compartment wouldn’t close, so I moved them to the middle larger compartment and that solved that.

Over all, these are fantastic for carrying around your pills without rattling every time you move, and I could see how they’d be great for traveling, though I haven’t taken them on a plane yet (I fully intend to!). I cut the amount of space taken up by pills in my purse waaaaay down. No more pill bottles!


I have very thick hair. It has some wave to it and It is sometimes frizzy. The Apalus Hair Straightening Brush made straightening it quick and easy. I absolutely love using this brush!

It has a nice long cord so I don't feel like I'm tied to the wall when I'm using it. A push of the power button and it powers on and quickly starts heating up. The buttons lock after 5 seconds, so if you miss setting your temperature at first, you can either hold down the power button to shut it off and restart it, or double press it to unclock the keys and adjust the temperature from there. It goes up to 450 degrees and only takes 3 minutes to get to that temperature. I set mine to 400 and it took around 2 minutes to get there. If you prefer to view centigrade temperatures, you can press both temperature control buttons "+" and "-" at the same time.

The brush also came with a couple of plastic to help separate your hair. I also really appreciate that it came with a glove as well to help you from getting burned which gave me peace of mind while I was using the brush knowing that I didn't have to focus on not getting my fingers too close to the bristles, but instead just getting my hair right. There are a good amount of bristles and they are spread over the brush in a manner that is helpful to really get into my hair, but also not put too much tension on my hair and the bristles don't snag my hair.

I like that it is offered in 2 color choices, I chose the black and blue one, but appreciate that others may prefer pink. The LCD screen displays the temperature. The handle stays cool to the touch. If for some reason, you forgot to turn off the brush, it should auto-shutoff after 1 hour. Although, I always unplug mine and let it cool off after I am done using it.

Included in my picture, the left side gives you an idea of what my hair looked like before using this brush, and on the right side is after using it.

I think this brush is a great value and I would highly recommend it to anyone who would use a straightener!!!

I have a bad back and use this every time I go to a restaurant or other public event, as it guarantees I will not be sitting on a hard surface. The cushioning is VERY high quality gel and adjusts to my sitting position. However, it is a surprisingly heavy item, so if you have a bad back, the weight is something to consider if you are going to be toting it around.

In order to be sure I don't leave this expensive cushion in a restaurant or lose it, I took some precautions. First, I left it in the decent-quality plastic carrying case which came the cusion (makes for easy cleaning). I put my name/phone/e-mail on a piece of paper and put it inside the clear plastic cover. If I leave it some place, the finder can reach me.

In order to ensure I don't leave the cusion behind in a restaurant/theater, etc., I created a way to clip it to my belt loop when I sit down. Here's how:

Get a 2' length of bungie cord from Orchard Supply Hardware (about 1/3 as thick as regular bungie cord - no hooks on ends). Attach it to the carrying cord of the plastic cushion-cover with a key ring by doing the following:

Attach the bungie cord to the key ring by leading the bungie cord through the "whole" in the key ring and doubling it back. Then attach the doubled-back part (about 1") to the rest of the 2' length bungie cord using a zip-tie. Singe the ends to prevent running.

Next, secure a D-ring (spring-loaded clip) on the other end of the 2' cord the same way (lead cord through ring, double back and secure with zip-tie).

So now you have a 2' bungie cord with a key ring on one end and a D-ring on the other.

Attach the key ring to the plastic cushion-cover by threading the key ring onto the carrying handle of the plastic cover (like putting a key on the ring). The other end of the bungie cord still has the D-ring attached.

When I go to a restaurant/movie/ball game, etc., I just clip the D-ring to the belt loop on my pants when I sit down (the other end is attached to the cusion's carrying cord). If I try to leave w/o the cushion, the cord attached to my belt loop will remind me to grab it.

I know it sounds goofy, but it has saved me many times from forgetting the cushion at a restaurant or at other event.

Hope this helps!


I am an EMT.  When I am working at the fire department, I have a spacious, generously-garnished jump bag supplied to me by the station.  Off duty, however, I am left to my own devices.  This bag is perfect to keep in my car, take with me when staying with friends and family, and of course, when my younger and more reckless friends invite me to their college parties.

Most reviews complain of how small the bag is.  However, it is exactly the size listed in the product description.  In case you have trouble reading the product description, it is a little less than a foot wide.  It has an adjustable divider in the center compartment (attached via velcro) to better accommodate each individual's organization methods.

To give you an accurate gauge of its spaciousness, I'll list everything that comfortably fits in my bag.

Left side compartment:
-a copious supply of nitrile gloves

Right side compartment:
-trauma shears
-mini note pad + pen for impromptu patient assessment, notes, and Hx
-pen light
-aspirin
-small bottle of hydrogen peroxide
-several packets of ketchup (great substitute for oral glucose in a pinch for someone with low blood sugar!)

Center compartment:
-alcohol pads x 6
-antiseptic wipes x 5
-lidocaine insect sting wipes x 3
-burn cream
-antibiotic ointment
-cotton swabs and cotton balls
-4x4 gauze pads x 2
-2x2 gauze pads x 5
-3-inch rolled gauze x 2
-eye pads x 2
-many assorted bandages
-1-inch tape
-2-inch self-adhesive bandage wrap (honestly my favorite stuff in my bag)
-instant cold compress
-tongue depressors
-adult CPR pocket mask
-pediatric CPR pocket mask
-6 different-sized oropharyngeal airway adjuncts

Perhaps an exhausting list to read through, but I hope that gives a future potential buyer a good depiction of this bag's storage abilities.  I grew up playing Tetris, so I've more or less mastered the art of optimally fitting as many things as possible into a small space.

The only downside I have found is that I really would have liked to see a shoulder strap.  It's not a big deal though, seeing as I have many extra straps from old computer bags.

Including this bag, my entire emergency kit has cost me only around 60 dollars.  I am seriously considering buying another to stock up and keep as a backup.  Great product!


I bought this Cupping Therapy Set for my mom. We already had one that she bought from our local Chinatown, but we didn't have enough cups to do her entire back in one sessions which is why I decided to buy more.

Pros: It is really easy to using the pumping handle to take out the air from the cups. Most of the time, I use 2-3 pumps and it's sticking on my mom's back, and it will stay on the entire 15 minute session. On the originally cupping set, there were times I had to pump 8-10 times, even when it was new. The largest cups are huge. Bigger than my other cupping set so it covers more area. I usually use this for the lower back/hip area.

Cons: I mainly use cupping therapy on my mom's entire back so the smaller cups are not very useful for us. I think there's way more smaller cups than needed. This cupping set has twice as much as my old one. However, maybe others will disagree because of their own needs. Also, all the cups and handles are laid out on styrofoam so every time I had to take something out, it will make that horrible screeching sound. For those of you, who uses this for work, it might be easy for you to carry around if you have to walk around. My old set had a handle and you can carry it around like a briefcase but this one is just a box.

As a disclaimer, I did not try using the pump handle with the long tube. I am unsure how much it can help out in hard to reach places. I did test put a cup on my back by myself. Let me tell you, that's not going to work. First of all, not going to be long enough to reach the lower back, only upper back. Second of all, it's hard to keep it flat on your back unless someone does it for you so that defeats the purpose. Maybe it can be used on the shoulders.

Warnings: I normally perform the cupping therapy on my mom for 10 minutes. However, I read the instruction manual and it says it's possible to go up to 15 minutes. We did that, and my mom had a whole bunch of blisters on her back. I know this can happen if the skin is thin or the cupping therapy last too long. Therefore, be careful on the time especially if your patient is more sensitive to this. I know now to just keep the sessions to 10 minutes.


I have a chronic pain condition & Parkinson's.  Because of these medical problems & side effects of medication, mainly dizziness, there are times that it is not safe to shower.  The portable bidet seemed to be an inexpensive and effective choice for the solution to this little problem.

The Palm arrived today and the directions could be a little more detailed (especially for those who are direction challanged - like me). After figuring it out (didn't take long) I did a test run.  It was easy to use and now I feel that I can always be clean and fresh.  This definitely gives me peace of mind.  It will be much better than the "sponge bath" at the sink.  Instead of trying to rinse with a wet washcloth, the Palm gives you a nice stream of fresh clean water.  The water pressure is good - on a scale of 1 to 10, I would give it a 7.5. For a portable device, I think the pressure is really good. Just make sure that the nozzle is pointed in the right direction or you might be cleaning the wall or floor tile.  I tried it at the sink first and almost sprayed it in my face.

The Palm is small which makes it easy to take it with you when traveling - it would fit easily into a large purse or carried discreetly in the travel pouch provided.  You might have to refill it once to clean front & tushie but that's a small price to pay for cleanliness.

It's battery operated and does make some noise.  If you're using it in a public restroom, someone might wonder what type of device you are using - maybe a vibrator rather than a portable bidet.  Who cares, it's better to be clean than worry what someone else might be thinking.  Just smile at the person if they're at the sink next to you when you're washing your hands.  Thinking about using it in a public restroom, you should probably take a few paper towels into the stall with you so you can dry the small drops of water on the outside of the bidet.

I deliberated for a while trying to decide which portable bidet to purchase as I looked at the array offered on Amazon. It is well made and worth the price.  I think I made an excellent choice.

I used it again and it I am impressed with the quality of the Bio-Bidet and I don't get impressed easily!  I highly recommend this product!!!!!


First of all- my husband is a dentist and has chronic neck and back pain. He’s always wanted a massage chair, but the prices always seemed too high. We took a chance on this chair as a Christmas gift, and months later he still thanks me for making the purchase. He sits in it daily and has had a tremendous amount of relief as a result.

PROS:
-Works extremely well for back, legs, feet, and forearms.

-Comparable to more expensive chairs we’ve tried at Brookstone.

-Allows for custom settings to either provide full or concentrated spot massaging focus with kneading, shiatsu, or simple vibration.

-Customizable in how far back you can recline.

-The benefits of the legs and feet massagers were a huge added bonus, and helped some pain that my husband didn’t realize he had.

-Rollers are strong and can be adjusted for narrow or wide reach.

-Setup was easy and took 15 minutes or so.

-The seller and delivery folks were wonderful. They actually called to notify us that our original chair had been damaged in transit. Instead of giving us the damaged chair, they ordered and delivered a new one so we wouldn’t have to deal with setting up and then returning a faulty chair. Their customer service, honesty, and integrity was very much appreciated.

NEUTRAL:
- the heat works but not well enough to really comment on it being a PRO. We didn’t purchase this chair for that reason, however.

CONS:
- Like many chairs, this isn’t the best for neck. It’ll reach your neck and provide some comfort, but some of the other neck specific massagers do a better job.

-The remote beep is loud when you’re moving the manual settings to spot adjust or decline the chair. We haven’t found a way to lower the volume, but it’s only a minor nuisance until you reach your desired spot.

-The massagers get louder if you use the chair for extended periods of time (1+ hour). This isn’t an issue necessarily, but we were worried we had damaged the chair. That wasn’t case, however. It’s still working perfectly. Just be aware that it may happen.

OVERALL:

We felt like we were taking a gamble on this chair, given that we hadn’t tried it, and we were nervous about such an expensive purchase. But nearly two months later, we absolutely love this chair, and our family may actually be purchasing another one.

Highly recommend this for anyone looking for a comparable chair at an affordable price!


While the product itself does a very good job of cleaning, the manufacturer should be on notice that it needs to do a better job of distinguishing its product from the typical all-in-one lens cleaners and warning newcomers to its product of the potential dangers of assuming it is the same, unless it is fine with injuring new customers.

For a start, the bottle and box it comes in should be a different size and shape, just to get the message across, this is a DIFFERENT product that yoru typical lens cleaner and the instructions MUST be followed or severe eye injury may occur.  If packaged the same as the others, the manufacturer can assume that the customer will not read the instructions, because who knows, the person using the product might be extremely exhausted or drunk or whatever, and not think twice about popping the lenses with this solution in the old case.  For myself, I had originally opted to use my old case, because the case that came with it requires much more solution, and it seemed like a such a waste.  When I took out the second lens, I must have had a tiny bit of solution on my fingers because it burned -- I instantly knew it wasn't the same product, thankfully without causing damage.  I then read up on the product online, and about cases of new users who didn't read the label and ended up hurt.

The first sentence on the label warns not to put it directly in your eye, or burning will occur; a similar sentence appears on the ordinary, much milder solution.  While the warning is in red, it would do nothing for those with red-green colorblindness -- additional signals are required.  The second sentence warns to use the product only with the special case provided.  That really should be the very first sentence and in huge, capital letters, explaining why this step is absolutely necessary.  The idea that the solution needs to be neutralized,and that the case must interact with the solution to neutralize it would be counter-intuitive to most new customers.  The majority of new users switching to this product from Complete or Renu, etc. will automatically assume that it can used the same way.

While this product works very well, I am giving it one star to signal to the manufacturer that they need to do a much better job of warning new users and distinguishing their product.  The potential for injury for those who aren't vigilant is too great.

UPDATE:  This morning, the hydrogen peroxide on the right contact lens did not neutralize properly, and it hurt badly.  I'm wearing glasses today as a precaution.  Usually when I open the case, the lens is on the convex bit of the case -- but this morning it was lodged on the concave portion.  Don't know if that makes a difference, but perhaps it was situatied in a way that made it less accessible to getting neutralized.  Guess that must have been it since the left lens was fine.


[[VIDEOID:187157bb478d88678cfebe2fd954a3a8]] [[ASIN:B0015TGAMW Life/Form CPR Prompt BLUE Single Infant Manikin w/10 Lung Bags & Tool - LF06002U by Life/Form]]

I purchased 4 of these infant manikins to help with teacher CPR.  I saw the price was quite a bit less than the others so I went with it knowing going the look and feel of them which are less quality.

It's weird, but I was actually excited opening up the boxes.  I read the instructions and looked over all the items included.  I placed a lung in the manikin which is kind of cumbersome compared to other manikins I've used but that's okay.  As mentioned in another review, being able to see the chest rise can be difficult sometimes and requires a little practice which is fine.

Then I noticed by accident that when I picked up one belly facing the ground, the head came forward and popped off also taking the chest piece off.  I put it back together as instructed using the bottom and top tabs of the chest, making sure the head was in correctly and the neck piece was in correctly.  I lightly tapped it on the back and pop goes the head and chest again.

Thinking that this was just one defective manikin I opened up the other ones as they were indiviually boxed (packaged quite well actually) and tried the other ones.  All of them have their head and chest pop off with very little effort.  I tried to take a video showing how little force it actually takes.  I know for certain my students whether they are adult or teens would easily and often pop these things apart which would make me look like a cheap instructor.

I called Nasco customer support as listed on the enclosed papers.  The lady wasn't even sure what item I was talking about and then she finally figured it out and seemed confused. (I don't think they know their products very well). All she said is, "uh, I don't think they're supposed to do that" which I won't write what my reply was in my head.  She suggested I return them to Amazon which is what I am doing.  Thankfully Amazon has really good customer service.

I will be ordering different manikins and not only will I not order these again, I will be very vocal with anyone I know in my CPR circle that they should stay far, far away from these.

You get what you pay for I guess applies here.  Buyer Beware.


This is a great product. It performed better than I expected. The only thing I was not pleased with is that the cord kept coming out of the plug. You can push it all the way in really hard, but it still finds it way of coming out. So don't be moving the cord around so much or else you'll be stopping all of the time just to put the plug back in. But other than that, it worked exceptionally well. The packaged arrived on the date of the expected delivery. I had an appointment that morning and when I returned at 12 noon, the package was left at my door on the stoop. That, I didn't like because anyone could have walked by and taken it. As soon as I opened it, I started using it. It took me 4 hours to do bother feet. I'm assuming 2 hours on each foot. My feet were baby soft and smooth. There's no way to contain all the dust on some newspaper like someone else had said. A big damp towel worked better for me. Of course, you're gonna have to sweep up afterwards. And, you're gonna have to get in the shower, as well. The product came with 2 blue rollers, but I had also ordered the green rollers. At first, I started using the blue rollers, but after a while I switched over to using the green rollers. The green rollers are better. They are more coarser than the blue ones and they work much deeper on the hard skin. Another thing, don't stay too long on one area of the foot, you don't want to make the area tender. Move the roller around as you go back and forth on the foot; but, add a little pressure as you roll it along. The more pressure you add, the deeper the roller will lift up the dead skin. Also, it's a good idea to knock some of that dust off of the roller as it can clog it up and it may slow up on you, which is what it did with me a couple of times. The product came with a little brush to clean the dust off, but I just rinsed mine off with some water on the non-electrical end, dried it off; and, then let it sit out to air dry for a few hours. Two other things I wanted to mention that was not described in the product description, is that, I was able to file down flat the thick toenails on each foot of my big toe. And an added bonus is that after you finish, your feet are gonna feel wonderful. Your feet will feel like you just had a foot massage. It's because of the vibration of the motor on your foot. You will feel a very tingling and warm sensation on the soles of your feet once you get up and start to walk.


I bought Inositol from Lift Mode not because I suffer from depression or anything like that. But figured after studying that Inositol can help sensitize the 5ht serotonin receptors and promote serotonin production. Which in any case would be great for people with Depression. I have read about lots of people taking Inositol after taking SSRI's for so long that they feared caused toxicity because while Re-uptaking can be good if you have too little serotonin it also prevents concentration. Taking Inositol seemed to have a beyond subtle effect on these people judging anecdotally.

But that's just the cherry on the icing of the cake as far as Inositol's far reaching benefits. Treating ailments involved with diabetes, Alzheimer's, Depression, OCD, Schizophrenia, ADHD, Autism are some it's other forays by balancing serotonin and other neurochemicals responsible for running amuck and causing things like Anxiety, panic attack. Inositol also causes hair growth and mental concentration.

In My Experience I have noted the subjective effects from doses ranging between 1,000 mg to 12 grams:
I received the package at my door rather quickly, it came equipped with a measuring spoon, and a COA proving it's level of purity. I added the powder to some water which made it taste really sweet so it goes down really smoothly. After anywhere between 30 minutes to an hour I felt distinctly myself if not moreso. I noticed little the first night until standing in front of my shower I felt awkward just having a nice shower and getting out like it was nothing... I realized about myself suddenly that I trapped myself in a maze of all these rituals such as drying off my body, and it felt impersonal. Oddly I stood there and as I did I felt like something was surrounding me and within seconds I felt this indescribable feeling like as if I was biologically apart of something unimaginably.

Ever since then every night I have been taking I have noticed I get along easier with people. One night while painting at a park at night where they have all these Christmas light props some girls came by and I was like a seething social butterfly, showing them some of my favorite blues musician's like old Howlin' Wolf, they liked my painting and soon all her friends came, and I noticed talking for me was much easier even around girls enough that one of them gave me her number.

On Inositol I've also noticed writing for me comes much more fluidly. Otherwise I haven't been let down since.
Only side effect noted was bruxism otherwise Inositol as with everything affects everyone differently. Thank you for reading
