First I will start with saying that I did not taste it, due to it looking like it was tampered with.

Upon twisting the lid off, I noticed a line of nearly evenly spaced puncture holes running down the center of the seal that in most products is meant to show if the product was tampered with, or not. Usually when I order from Amazon, these seals look like they were not placed well onto the product, or a little damaged from the manufacturing process, and I don't like to, but would normally still consume the product anyway due to it being more often than not that I receive supplements with that seal in questionable condition. I am not doing that this time. This looks too suspicious for me.

As you can see in these photos, the seal was intentionally punctured by either a person, or the manufacturing process itself. I find it strange that the manufacturing process would be designed to intentionally puncture holes into the tamper seal.

I took a picture of the underside of the lid, to show that some of the protein dust did exit the tiny holes, which happened sometime before I took the lid off of it. There was no barrier between the food, and anyone who may have handled it, other than the twist-off lid. A person could have punctured the seal with a syringe filled with something that I am sure I would not want to ingest, for all I know, which I do not know. That's why the "seal" should be a seal.

I took a picture of the protein powder, because if you look closely, you can see brown specs. Those specs look a bit larger in real life, but I lack the HD camera to show them in full detail.I Those are globs that form when the protein powder comes into contact with liquid droplets. Liquid, of some type, clearly dropped through those punctures holes.

I was really looking forward to having a protein shake after doing some pushups earlier. This was the cheapest protein that I could find, and while I was not expecting to enjoy the taste, I was not expecting to receive something that I would suspect might be poisoned, which it might not be. I'm just having a hard time understanding why there are puntures in the seal, and why there are globs that formed with the protein powder, and liquid droplets. I'm not tasting it.

I'm sorry if these people who sell through Amazon send the containers to them without punctures in the seal. If they do, then they need to have a serious talk with Amazon about someone working at a warehouse tampering with food products. I do not like giving bad reviews, especially when I am the first to review a product. But I do not know what I am looking at here. If it is poison, then it might explain why I'm the first to review this, since I'm not even going to taste the stuff.


Prologue:
Contrary to what the photo may indicate, I do not feed this to my plants (though I'd like to if it were cheaper. Do plants need detox foods because of all the tap water I give them??? Pls make cheaper version for plants. I am totally not serious, but maybe)

Useage:
I put ten droppers in about 2oz of water (any more and the misery of dry bitter taste is only prolonged. I found it best to shoot). I do this twice a day. I found shooting it shortly after meals aided in digestion, and I especially noticed benefits taking it at night when my stomach is hard at work from a day of meals.

Effects:
At first there were none.
I was on a cleanse to restore my gut Flora because of some serious indigestion, bloating, and ibs. No poops. Now that we are well acquainted, I was doing *everything* natural and detoxifying. I bought this after doing extensive research (I have some time on my hands as a performer during covid shut down in NYC) on the best detox aiding supplements. According to my findings there were about a million reasons to choose bio active carbon over the likes of charco. (Whyyyy charco is so much cheaper. Why can't the cheap thing be the magic for once. Meow.)

After a three week cleanse, my stomach was calmer and I had energy again (and yes, poops) I celebrated with the most wonderful pizza Brooklyn could provide. gluten and cheese, all the things I cannot digest that are meaningful in the world. Delectable. Divine. All the things these drops are not. That night, plagued with heart burn, gas, and a nasty case of postnasal drip, I went through my entire hollistic medical cabinet in my head in bed.  And then I remembered. Bio active Carbon. Supposedly flushes down the bad stuff while keeping the good stuff. Yes yes. I will try this immediately. Anything to make this pass and allow sleep.

Within ten minutes of the sip of dry bitter misery, the mucus in the back of my throat was gone. Amazing. I slept well, and woke up to no burning stomach acid in the throat.

Magic.

So yes, it works. I was taking so many wonderful holistic things that I couldn't quite pinpoint the cure to my intestinal woes. I suspect now, that it was bioactive carbon all along.

Epilogue:
She is now a trusty member in cabinet, with the honor of a seat in the *front* of the shelf with my regular daily family members such as B and omega.

We are a happy and heart burn free family.


UPDATE: The unit has been working for two weeks, and not only performs as advertised,  it performs better than we expected.  We are sensitive to mold spores and other allergens, to the point that we can begin choking & coughing within 1 minute of walking into any environment with these in the air.  We both stopped coughing and choking within 1 day of installation, and now it only happens when we actually LEAVE the house!  Our inside air is no longer causing us breathing problems.  I'm raising my rating to 5 stars because of this observation.  GREAT PRODUCT!
Original rating - 4 stars:
Bought this to combat COVID. Order fulfillment,, shipping,, delivery, and packaging are outstanding. Installed today on the output duct just above the plenum so it can kill any fungus and bacteria that forms on the exchanger - especially in air conditioning season.
 1st thing I noticed is that the template included in the package is the incorrect size for the unit. If used, the unit will NOT assemble to the furnace.  I made another template, adding only 10 minutes to the installation time. 2nd thing I noticed is that the Phillips head screws included in the package are poor thread quality, and the wrong size.  The heads don't fit into the keyhole because they're too big.  The difference between the thread size and the shank diameter is too small, so once they've gone into the hole, they just spin and won't tighten. I used heavier threaded HVAC hex-head screws I had on hand, and they held just fine.  Third thing I noticed is the electrical plug on the power cord sticks straight out into the walkway. Just a minor irritant for now, but I'll have to cut it off and replace it with a right-angle plug before the wife catches it with the laundry basket and pulls it out of the receptacle!  4th thing I noticed is the two green LEDs are labeled Right and Left, but the lamps are Upper and Lower, not right and left.  Also, there's no way to identify which bulb belongs to which LED - I certainly won't look to see, because it'll burn out my eyeballs!  5th thing I noted is that the lower lamp socket appears to have been assembled upside down.  If the locking mechanism ever fails, the bulb will easily fall into the duct because there is no support for it other than the pin lock.  If the upper one fails, the socket walls look like they'll still hold the bulb in place.
Overall, this unit is SUPER easy to install.  Total time from unboxing to installation completed was less than 45 minutes, including the making of a new template and getting replacement screws.  I'll update this review based on its performance at a later date, probably about 3 - 6 months from now.


I bought two because I have two breasts and not enough time to pump one at a time, and they have been awesome! I bought them in anticipation of my new job and getting back into the office, away from the baby, and with zero interest in bringing the full size pump with all the tubes and bottles and - no thank you! Tried them out a few times at home first and liked them already - just watch out for the suction level! The suction on these is HIGH. The levels do not match levels on your other pumps! On my full size pump, I'm usually at an 8 out of 12 of the suction levels but on these pumps, I use a 3 SOMETIMES a 4 and that's sparingly. Trust me, I tried level 5 one day and ended up with tears on my nipples, which took a few days to heal. Start low, work your way up, use some sort of lubricant if you want.

That said, I pumped at work the first time and leaked out about two ounces all over myself. On my first day. Make absolutely sure, beyond a doubt, that the parts are sealed together very well. It's not hard to put it together, but it's also a little too easy for the seal to become broken at the bottom, allowing your liquid gold to leak all over your clothing. These pumps allow me to pump on my drive to drop the baby off at my mom's, providing him with a fresh bottle when we get there. They are not discreet in profile (the pumps stick up and it's obvious there's something in your shirt) or in noise level - they are appropriately loud, not like jet engine level but also can be heard in a phone call. The batteries last a decent amount of time - almost two hours of pump time. They do take a decent amount of time to charge, but not unreasonable.

Now for the real question - does it compare to a full size pump in how much milk is collected? Almost. This is going to be different for all of us due to many different aspects, but for me, it pumps maybe an ounce or two less per session than my full size pump.

One small thing - if you get two, the pump cycles will never line up. No matter how precise you are at starting them at exactly the same time, they will never sync up. Or they will sync up for a few moments and eventually fall out of sync. This is a tiny thing but if the sound of these pumps can potentially bother you, that's something to keep in mind.

Overall, these are a wonderful option for portable pumps. Get yourself a lunch bag, some ziplock bags; or better yet some wet dry bags, and some good ice packs and you're ready to pump on the go.


Huge thumbs up.  I had owned two pair of these prior to this pair, purchased from Academy - one "medium" and one "large". I lost one of the large ones while hunting, which had fit me but rather tightly, and the pair of mediums was too small - gave them away.  So I ordered these extra large, and they're perfect, and only slightly on the large size for my medium-sized hands.  So like most gloves, and most clothes for that matter, they're not correctly sized (for ya know, human beings - well, Asians maybe).  So if you have small hands, order medium or large, medium hands, order large or x-large, large hands, order x-large, and XL hands - you're screwed.  Postive:  These ARE waterproof, or just nearly so - very close to being waterproof, despite being of a soft & quiet material (for hunting).  You can put your keys or a chemical warmer or whatever in the back zippered pouch - BUT when a warmer goes in there, it's much closer to the surface than to your hands, with the main insulation being between it and your hands, so I don't think it will work well at all - but not to fear - do what I've done several times with these - just shove your chemical warmer up into the mitten part with your fingers, and they work in there, and won't fall out when you flop them open to shoot, etc.  Or I suppose you could put one warmer in the mitten top with your fingers, and one more in the back for good measure, if you're down under 0 F or some such. I've used these with a release/bow, and rifle both.  I will be skiing with them in April of these year, but as mentioned, already tested them for watertightness, so I'm confident. Coupled with a capacitive  stylus pen, I can read books, etc. on my iphone/ipad or android when hunting/fishing.  In fact, that's precisely the best use for that zippered pouch - your collapsible capacitive stylus.  You can cut the thin glove fingers off to use your fingers for a touch screen or to have more feel for a minute task, or you can leave the fingers as is.  I leave them.  This XL is *perfect* for medium hands like mine because there is still room in the fingers to put a thin glove underneath, like a winter golf glove.  If you have large hands and get an XL, or have medium hands and get an L, AND you want to wear a thin glove underneath, you're gonna need to cut the fingers off.  Good hunting.


What this product is supposed to do is plump your skin the get rid of fine lines, wrinkles, and just give your skin an overall better appearance because the hyaluronic acid works to hydrate your skin while vitamin A and E sooth and moisturize. Some things to note about this company is that they guarantee results so if you are not satisfied you can get a refund (big plus on buying any new beauty item!), they are made in the U.S., they use natural and organic ingredients so you are not rubbing harsh chemicals on your face (no alcohol, parabens, or sulfates!), they are cruelty free, and they have some really solid science behind the specific ingredients they use. They are very open about everything that goes into their products and even offer the reasons why each item is there.

Most important ingredients to note:

Hyaluronic acid attracts water from moisturizers and keeps it retained in your skin to plump and hydrate.
Vitamin C is an antioxidant that protects us from our everyday exposure to free radicals that can speed up the effects of aging, it also supports collagen production to help restore elasticity to skin.
Green tea is an antioxidant and has anti-inflammatory properties that helps to combat redness, puffy skin, collagen breakdown, free radicals, and helps reduce the damage done to skin by UV radiation.
Vitamin E is just like the superfood of the skin world, not only does it help heal blemishes and scars through cell regeneration but it also moisturizes the skin by absorbing deep into the epidermis instead of just sitting on the top layer.
I don't mind going out with a "naked" face anymore. Now I know why this company gives out trial test products for free - it sells itself. Results are nearly instantaneous. When I saw my best friend for the first time in two years - the first thing she did was ask about my skin. Then she repeatedly asked me what I did. I had been using the serum for two weeks or so. Full disclosure - I have been improving my lifestyle but it had been a slow process and not with drastic results in my skin. So I knew it was working if a relative noticed. Love this stuff very effective.

[[VIDEOID:cc5c53d69b593e1347ad63d9daf2af07]] Pedicures are my best friend and if I could get one every single week believe me I would. Not only do I not have time for that but it also gets a little pricy to get one all the time. My feet being in flip flops most of the days get dry and callused so I needed something for those between times.

  CONTENTS: One foot file. This also comes with 2 extra files, a charger, cleaning brush and a cover.

  BATTERY TYPE: Rechargeable device.

  PERSONAL EXPERIENCE: My feet are not the worse feet in the world but I defiantly could use some help especially between my pedicures. The weather where I live is dry and really plays a huge part in the way that my feet look. I have a lot of dry skin and there are parts of my feet that are cracking due to them being so dry. One of the things that I liked about this file is that it was nice and easy to use. The foot file takes off dead skin without much effort. To do both feet it took me a maximum of 10 minutes total.

  The machine itself does not make a lot of noise and is sort of a quieter hum. There are a couple of things that I recommend while doing this to your feet. The first one is that don’t put to much pressure down on your feet. This is powerful enough to take off the dry skin with little pressure. Also after you are done with taking off the skin of your feet, wash and dry your feet completely after you are done.

  I love that this machine is rechargeable, this means no buying batteries which is always a pain. I usually charge the foot file an hour before using it and the charge lasts for the whole time that I am using the file. While I do not know how long a full charge lasts I can say for certainty that it lasts long enough for me to smooth both of my pedicure neglected footsies.

  OVERALL: I like that I can keep my feet nice and smooth without having to pay the pedicure prices. I like that its nice and small and rechargeable therefore meaning that I don’t have buy batteries. Good machine to have especially if you are like me and like to do home pedis in between the salon ones.

  I received this product at a discounted rate in exchange for my true and unbiased opinion. The opinions expressed in this review are mine and mine alone. Nobody or nothing has influenced my opinion. I in no way shape or form have a relationship with this dealer.


I am so glad a reviewer of another product explained the many greater health & other benefits of finding a freeze-dried version which resulted in my finding this product as the ones produced by spray-drying require the addition of some maltodextrin to prevent it from caking.  Maltodextrin is made from corn starch & I like many people nowadays are allergic to corn products to varying degrees because they are so over-used in so many products including at low enough levels that they don't always have to be shown in the ingredients list.

I HAD BEEN SCARED TO TRY THIS PRODUCT BECAUSE MANY REVIEWERS SAID it doesn't dissolve easily or can clump or tastes less sweet but none of this has been a problem for me.

IT IS THE FIRST FORM OF VITAMIN C (of many types I've tried over the years including all natural & food-based etc.) THAT I HAVE TAKEN THAT I TRULY LOVE & THAT DOESN'T FEEL ACIDIC OR BAD IN ANY WAY FOR MY TEETH OR MOUTH. With every other form of C I have felt the need to immediately then chew on a piece of xylitol gum ([[ASIN:B00ARABK20 PUR Gum Aspartame Free, Spearmint, 2.8 Ounce]] works great & has the purest ingredients with the least chemicals or additives of any of the many xylitol gums I've looked into) but not with this one.  Instead it feels totally wonderful to drink & I love its slightly tart taste as some fruits have as that makes it feel like eating a piece of fruit or some fruit pudding if I have to rush while mixing the product & end up with a small clump of it in my mouth.

I FIND IT WORKS BEST TO ONLY USE 1/4 teaspoon at a time as then it's easy to sprinkle lightly over some room-temperature water which makes it easy & fast to dissolve simply by stirring with a teaspoon.  C is best absorbed anyway when taken in small doses through the day because your body can't store it & only so much can be used at a time with the rest being excreted in your urine.

CHERRIES BRING SEVERAL KEY NUTRIENTS HELPFUL FOR ONE'S EYES & GENERAL HEALTH SO THIS HAS BEEN AN OUTSTANDING PRODUCT TO DISCOVER IN EVERY WAY INCLUDING BECAUSE good organic cherries are often not available or very pricey.  ALSO, MOST FORMS OF C THESE DAYS ARE SYNTHETIC & THOSE HARM THE BENEFICIAL GUT BACTERIA CRITICAL TO MANY ASPECTS OF OUR HEALTH INCLUDING OUR IMMUNE SYSTEM & ABILITY TO ABSORB NUTRIENTS.


We have a 5-yr old and a 3 week old, so I need a thermometer that is both accurate and quick. I also like our thermometers to be able to take both oral and axillary temps.

PROS:

Consistent reading. I took my temp orally multiple times and all of them were within 0.2 degrees of each other. Having young kids, this is especially important to me. I also took an axillary temp and both methods produced the same temp so it's accurate across different temping methods.

Quick-ish. Depending on how you're taking the temperature, it is close to the 16-second mark. When I took my temp (oral), it took about 16 seconds to get a reading. When I took our 3 week olds temp (axillary), it took almost 30 seconds to get a reading. I then tried an axillary temp on myself with an 18-22 second result. We have not tried a rectal temp.

Quick one-push on/off button. Nothing to fiddle with or hold down.

Automatic shut-off. I'm a sleep deprived parent. I'd like to say that I remember to turn everything that I use off, but I'm sure that's not the case. The GearDistrict thermometer has an auto shut-off after 10 minutes.

Comes with a case. I can disinfect it and then put it back in its case and place it back in our changing table drawer. I don't have to worry about it getting all germy (although we always wipe it down before using it orally anyway) or broken in there.

Flexible tip. Having squirmy children means that the thermometer up doesn't always stay in the same place. I didn't think that I'd like flexible tip when I read about it, but after trying it on my wriggling 3-week old, I'm in love.

CONS:

Inconsistent (and not 10-second) times. The only reason that I'm docking this product 1 star is because the result times were inconsistent and none of them were 10-second times. It is still a fairly quick product at 16 seconds, but 30 seconds with a screaming baby can seem like forever. We have a thermometer that is truly an 8-second thermometer, so if she was really sick, we would reach for that one before this one. For myself and the rest of our family, it's not as big of a deal, but I wish that it were noted in the product description.

Overall, it's a good basic thermometer. I wouldn't necessarily recommend it if you're looking for a super quick thermometer for young children, but aside from that, it's an accurate thermometer that gets the job done and I would recommend.

I did receive this product at a discount in exchange for my honest review.


I purchased the extra-large purple double seat cushion directly from the company. The extra-large version is wider and longer, but is otherwise the same. This is a very good pressure-relieving seat cushion. Anyone who sits for a long time and has noticed numbness or pain spots on their bum would do well to use one of these cushions. The cushion is reversible, with a soft side make with larger squares, and a firmer side made with a more dense pattern of smaller squares. I have been using the cushion for several days and it has definitely eliminated pressure points on my bum. Time will tell how long the cushion will last, but given its construction, I would say likely a long time. It comes with a cover of thin, flexible material for optional use. One side has thicker material with small bumps to reduce slippage, but I have used the cushion on both sides and the material feels fine either way.

I give this cushion 4 stars instead of 5 because 1) It is very thick which will change how a chair will fit your body. I had to lower my chair, raise the back and add a lumbar support pillow. Used on my recliner, it raises the seat position high enough that the built-in chair headrest feels a bit too low. 2) The front edge of the cushion, unlike other versions, has no contour, so there is some pressure on the bottom of your thighs at the edge of the cushion. This might be improved by just cutting some of the pad with scissors to create a contoured front, but it would have been better if that was a feature.

Because of the thickness and absence of contouring, I am thinking of getting the Royal purple pad version: less thickness and contoured.

I don't know how this compares with other cushions, but it does do an excellent job of relieving pressure points, and anyone having issues with that should get a pressure-relieving cushion such as this one. I tried a couple of different conventional chair pads with poor results.

11/29/2020: I've increased the rating to 5 stars because this cushion still works so well. One end of the cushion is mildly thinner. I tried this toward the front and the back. I like it towards the front since it eliminates pressure on the bottom of my thighs. I no longer use a lumbar support. I think simply adjusting the back height of my chair fixed any issues there. The cushion hasn't shown any signs of flattening or wear, which is surprising since I use it a LOT. Even the covering, which seems thin and maybe a bit fragile, hasn't failed nor does it look worn. So, I am really glad I bought this extra-large deluxe version and it is holding up amazingly well. It works far better than any other pad I have ever tried.


Sprouts Voice Remedy/Cold Remedy Review

Sprouts Voice Remedy/Cold Remedy Review

©2015 Brent Reece

Okay here is the long awaited eval on the sprouts Cold Remedy/Voice Remedy!!

There was and is a small glitch in the shipping date for Tomoson reviews. So I decided to just get all over it and get it posted. This herbal remedy is specifically tailored towards relief from sore throats and the common cold.

It contains the following herbal ingredients:

Echinacea purpea herb, red root, green tea, elderberry, thyme herb, red clover herb, myrrh gum, mullein leaf, and ginger root. Bound together using natural Glycerin. With Deionized Water. Made from all KOSHER nutrients.

With my acid reflux I get a lot of sore throats and they are also a precursor to me for a bad cold that is trying to get a hold of me! Last week I had a cold coming on and used the drops as described. Within the day I had relief and continued daily treatment for about four more days!

I love holistic medicine when it works!

I had twin premature babies born in 2010. At that time, with the RSV scare and all, I was looking for products that would help keep them safe and sick-free. After a lot of research, and assuming some risk, I bought a bunch of Germ Guardian products, including a GG-1000 air sanitizer. When I got the product in hand, I knew that the application for this neat little thing will be limited and specific. Since I wanted an air purifier in the babies room, I did not choose to use this for the room.

The GG-1000 is a small, great looking product that sanitizes the air in a closed environment using UV-C. Because of its size and airflow it is best suited for small spaces like the bathroom or a small study, or as in my case, in a vehicle. I chose to plug in the GG-1000 in my car, which has a low enough air volume to justify using this small device. Its size and plug-prong configurations make it convenient to use in the limited in-car space too. Since the plug socket in my car is connected to the ignition key, I have left the device in there permanently connected; and it comes on when I start the car and turns off when I shut off the car.

My babies turned 1 a month ago, and the air sanitizer has been with us for the same duration, and its been there since then. It continues to work and continues to have no issues - although my usage pattern is not 24x7, which might be the case if you are plugging it in a room in the house.

Once in a while, the fan does start whining, but this seems to be sporadic and temporary - and seems to happen only as it starts. The whining, when it does come up, does stop within 5-10 minutes of starting and is not loud at all (sounds like a desktop PC when turned on).

On long trips, when the device has had chance to cycle the air in the car atleast once, it did seem to give a "sanitized" smell/feel to the air.

Unfortunately, I have no other way of measuring the sanitizer's effectiveness, except through the perceived comfort to mind it provides. I had purchased the GG-1000 as a refurbished product on clearance directly from Germ Guardian, and the price I paid then (@ less than 20), continues to justify the risk I took of trying an unknown product.

Given my experience with the GG-1000, if I wanted another one for a second vehicle then I would be happy to spend the full price to purchase it again (that is if it were not still available in clearance for the reduced price).


UPDATE!!! (4/5/22)

Okay... I can't believe they actually did this. This seller is sleazy.

Instead of simply increasing the amount of blueberry powder you get -- which would have been the normal and decent thing to do IMO -- or decreasing the number of servings listed on the package (to make it accurate to what you're getting), they instead opted (after I complained in my review below, apparently) to REDUCE the total amount of blueberry powder you get (from 3.5g down to 2.5g) AND cut in HALF the recommended serving size from 2tsp. down to 1tsp., and are now claiming that by reducing the volume of actual blueberry powder you're getting by almost a third, they are MAGICALLY increasing the number of "apparent" servings you are getting by almost 30%, which is now claimed to be 48 servings versus the original 34 claimed servings (which was actually 24 servings). So, basically, by cutting the serving size in half, and reducing the powder weight by 29%, you're now getting 2x the actual previous number of servings (see my original review below).

I cannot believe people are this unethical in business on Amazon! Amazon needs to hold sellers like this accountable for their misleading advertising. Stop playing games and just deliver a good product at a fair and *straightforward* price and quit playing games with your amounts, serving sizes, and number of servings. It's very misleading -- and I believe this has been done very much intentionally.

/rant

------------------

Original review:

The packaging claims there are 34 servings. One serving is shown as being 2 tsp.

It was running out very fast, so I decided to measure how much a serving size weighed.

1 tsp weighs approximately 3.5 grams (averaged across a couple of teaspoons), thus a 2 tsp serving is 7 grams.

There are 6 ounces (allegedly -- I should have weighed it when I received the bag). Thus, the bag provides only 24 servings, not 34. Big difference! So, I was not imagining things. It really did run out fast (30% faster than it should have).

It is mislabeled as providing more servings than it actually does.

I'm annoyed because A) It's expensive, B) It ran out long before all the other smoothie ingredients I bought, which *will* last at least a month, as I expected this to do.

I wish I could get a refund. Not happy when products are mislabeled like this. I don't know if it's careless or deliberate to make it seem like you're getting more servings than you actually are in order to try to compete better with other products, as no, I would *not* have spent that much money for only 24 servings.


I am very excited about this new product I have purchased! Purchasing the product was a breeze, shipping was very quick and at more door step (what feels like) instantly, received package in a well sealed and packaged box, product bottle was also very nicely sealed inside of box with clear plastic around entire bottle and sealed lid inside of cap! I'm confused as to why a lot of the writing and details on the sellers product page is written in Spanish (I think it's Spanish), made me feel a little weirded out at first when deciding if I wanted to go through with the purchase or not but now that the product is here, I can see that the bottle is written fully in English. The bottle describes its purpose, states it's products name, has a long detailed list of all of the ingredients made in the product, cautious problems or issues to look out for / what to do if issues do happen to occur and detailed directions on how to use and apply the product to your body and skin. The provided bottle that the product comes in is very convenient for easy and everyday use, it is in a medium sized white container with a cap and flat lid, squeezable body that sits upside down for always ready product at the spout and ready to use. The smell of this product is strange, but I like it.. almost has a slightly citrus and mint aroma to it. The products cream is more of a clear / beige color with a rich, kind of sticky/goopy texture to it yet slippery enough to easily rub around and into skin evenly and quickly before it begins to work it's magic of fast absorption. A little bit of this cream will take you a long way, you do not need to over apply so this medium sized bottle should last you for a very long time, making the great quality product even more worth the asking price! There is a caution stated on back of bottle for possible redness or irritation when product is used on skin, I personally have not had any problems with breaking out or experiencing my skin to feel different / funny / burn. However, I have noticed a small difference in the tightening of my skin.. I have not been using this cream for very long but for the amount of days that I have, I am extremely pleased with my results and so excited to see what the future holds for this product and myself! Disclaimer: I received this product at a discounted price for my honest opinion and review of this product in return! I am truly happy with this purchase and wouldn’t even hesitate to recommend this product and this seller to a friend or family member in the near or distant future!!


Perhaps my worst purchase yet.  I thought I was careful … I didn’t really know what this product was like, but I was willing to take a chance.  I was almost certain that when I purchased this, it showed 2.5 oz for $6.99; though, now it’s showing 0.25 oz (I think I’ll take a screenshot of my purchases from now on).  It seemed like a decent deal, since other brands were selling for about $8 to $10 per ounce.  As it turned out, when I got the bottle, it was a tiny 0.25 ounce container!  That’s right – a quarter ounce.  If you do the math, this is equivalent to $27.96 per ounce – ouch!

I went back online to see what it was that I actually purchased.  Let’s assume that I was wrong and my eyesite is just not the same as it used to be, and it really did show 0.25 oz.  Even with this, the webpage is misleading.  Right after the price is shown for $6.99, in parenthesis there is an amount showing $4.37/oz.  At the time, I didn’t pull out my calculator, but it seemed to make sense that the unit cost per ounce would be less (if I was buying 2.5 ounces for $6.99).  But I should have checked this closer ... the two figures are completely contradictory –especially at the 0.25 oz rate.  How can an item cost $6.99 for 0.25 ounces (ie. $27.96 per oz) and at the same time cost $4.37 per ounce?  It just doesn't add up either way.  This is completely misleading, and makes me wonder if I should be checking these discrepancies with other purchases on Amazon.  This is FALSE ADVERTISEMENT.  And to add to this, if you scroll down to the “Product Details”, it shows an item weight of 1.6 ounces.  Granted, this includes the container, but when one looks at a product like this, they are mostly interested in how much liquid it holds.  Again – misleading.

Once I got the spray, I decided I’d still try it, since I was curious about what it would do.  I can honestly say that I would NEVER buy this product again, solely based on the taste and how it’s supposed to help.  I can’t really describe it, other than it being a completely disagreeable taste that seems to scratch my throat more than soothe it.

Do NOT buy this product.  It doesn’t work, and it’s misleadingly EXTREMELY expensive - $27.96 per ounce.  Totally not worth it.


Serious gear for your rear! Sitting on it right now as I write this review.. Epic levels of comfort. If you are at a coffee shop and need to be there for a while to get some work done, this will allow you to sit for hours without discomfort. I think there is an even deeper, cushier version, I am curious to try it out.

The seat works exactly as advertised. Helps a lot with reducing pressure on the thighs where the edge of a wooden seat might dig in. I'm pretty fit, so no extra chub on me for cushioning. I'm also used to the hard seat on my Bianchi road bicycle, so I'm not particularly spoiled when it comes to cush for my tush. But I couldn't resist this seat cushion, even at this steep price.

With that said, there are three things to be concerned about:

1. It weighs a fair amount. I wish I could take it with me to work in my messenger bag, but it is like an anchor. Definitely more than 5 pounds. You won't really be able to take this with you everywhere, so I leave it in the car.

2. It can slide a bit on your seat, despite the grippy mesh underside of the slip cover. So you might readjust it every once in a while, no big deal. That said, with with all the force from sitting and inadvertently sliding on it, the slipcover has shown very little sign of wear and tear. That's a sign of solid quality. WonderGel, please stick with this quality level of slipcover for your seats; it's the small things like this that make for good reviews and recommendations of products to friends!

3. The other thing: I removed the black slip cover once and touched it with my hands. A few minutes later, my fingers and palms were itching quite a bit. I washed may hands very thoroughly and the itching stopped. Not sure what that was about. Hopefully whatever it was didn't get absorbed into my skin, but who knows. Just leave the slipcover on, and maybe don't sit on it with your bare legs (i.e. your shorts/pants/skirt should be between the cushion and your rear) and you will be fine.

Haven't had it make my rear itch, so we should be good! Maybe from the heat exposure when I leave it in my car did something to the cushion? It's still the same shape and size, no warping from heat. I only took off one star for the above issues because they pretty easily mitigated, and the itch thing only happened once.


I received this product as part of a promotion at no cost to myself...and I wish I could continue to! It's fantastic but a bit pricey.
Sunscreen is absolutely necessary year round, even though it’s not commonly thought of during this chilly season. Did you know that the sun is actually closer to the earth during the winter while, at the same time, the ozone layer is actually at it’s thinnest? It’s true! The National Science Foundation Polar Programs UV Monitoring Network will tell you as much- so we’re actually at an increased risk for UV exposure, especially if you’re a winter sports enthusiast. According to skincancer.org, anyone hitting the slopes may want to remember; “Higher altitude means increased risk of sun-induced skin damage, since UV radiation exposure increases 4 to 5 percent with every 1,000 feet above sea level. At an altitude of 9,000 to 10,000 feet, UV radiation may be 35 to 45 percent more intense than at sea level. In addition, snow reflects up to 80 percent of the UV light from the sun, meaning that you are often hit by the same rays twice. This only increases the risk for damage.”
When heading out skiing or beaching, the above pictured is a new favourite for our skincare. The Sun ‘N’ Fun description reads that this;
Chemical free, non toxic, not greasy, no white cast, EWG Rating 1.
Natural with Organic ingredients, Zinc 20%
Contains fresh and inviting (natural) scent of marshmallow & chocolate, that kids love
Can be used by kids and adults alike
moisturizing with antioxidants
suncreen sun protection.
The 1 rating means that this sunscreen has the lowest hazard rating possible, and when seventy-five percent of sunscreens and 90 percent of SPF moisturizers tested in the Environmental Working Group’s “2013 Guide to Safer Sunscreens” were found unsafe or ineffective, that’s a major plus. We typically use my homemade sunscreen for that reason but this one does appear to contain a fairly comprehensive ingredient list. It also includes the antioxidant tocopherol (from soy), which enhances sun damage protection.
When they say that it smells of marshmallow and chocolate, it smells EXACTLY like that and my daughter loved it. My husband loathes sunscreen and hates wearing it but he readily agreed to where this one whenever asked as a result of the scent. He said, “I would be a walking dessert” and then make innuendo regarding as much. Men. Heh.


Disclosure: I've never used these before, and so my review is from the perspective of a first encounter. I wanted to look into these as a backpacking option that would reduce the need for one or two things to pack.

Overall, I'm pleased. They have a scent and flavor I wasn't prepared for, and will take some time getting used to, but it's not revolting. In fact, it has already grown on me a little in a couple uses. It's just unfamiliar to my palate. To my understanding, this is partly because of some bittering compounds in the bark.

A little about miswak for newbies like me: Miswak comes from the Arak tree. It has antibacterial properties, and the bitter compounds stimulate saliva production. The chemical composition of the tree includes a number of natural cavity-fighting compounds. It is purported to strengthen enamel--I have no idea if that claim is accurate. Used properly, however, many peer-reviewed studies suggest this to be equally effective to toothbrushes and toothpaste (select studies suggest possibly more effective). The Arak also has mild analgesic properties.

To use this stick you chew or cut about 1/2 inch of the end off, then chew the inner part until bristles form (it only takes a few seconds), and then brush in an up and down motion on your teeth. Every so often you cut off the bristle portion and slice off a bit more bark, rinse and repeat.

In terms of flavor, I found it a little indescribable. I was trying to find someone else's description online, and someone on reddit said they taste like the crystalline form of the white powder drug. I have zero experience with that and can only take their word for it.

The packaging for these seems to pretty universally involve vacuum packaging. These are no exception. In terms of price, these were much cheaper than the Middle Eastern grocer in my town, and cheaper than a lot of bourgeois rebrands of miswak as a conscientious lifestyle choice for eco-hippies.

As for effectiveness, I've only used it a couple times so far, but it has been shockingly effective at removing the day's tartar from my teeth, and much quicker than my usual (standard nylon bristle) toothbrush. For the first couple uses I ended up with bits of the bark in my mouth that I had cut off improperly, but they're easy to get out and they're soft and not stabby.

In spite of not being accustomed to the flavor, I like it enough that I may even carry one around regularly for on-the-go toothbrushing. If you like clean teeth and also enjoy chewing on toothpicks and straws and such, this may be a great option for you to try out.


I work at a job where I'm on my feet all day and the stress on my feet has caused calluses that just won't heal. I thought these might help, and they seemed as though they had started to help a little. But after only three days the material broke and it could no longer be worn. They are just too expensive to be going through a new pair twice a week.

Anyhow, general notes:

They are made of a thin, cushiony silicone, so when you first put them on they feel kind of similar to how gel shoe inserts would feel if you put them at the front instead of under your heel.
The first day I wore them it felt as though it was hard to stand and they affected my balance (just a little). After only one day though, I got used to it and could forget they were even there.
When putting them on it's a bit of a fuss to get them situated without bunching up or stretching too tight. The silicone tends to stay right where it's placed so you can't slide them on like socks. It takes some time but it's probably a good thing because it also keeps them in place through the day — well, mostly... There's a nasty tendency of the bottom to roll itself up away from the ball of the foot. But you can feel when it does and stop and readjust it.

So, the second day warring them, they did help relieve the discomfort of the calluses.. The downside was that the silicon rubbed against my toes and caused an abrasion on the top of my right middle toe. I didn't yet xx but knew I was going to have to bandage it to prevent it getting worse. At the moment it was just a red, tender patch, but continued use would certainly aggravate it further. But in spite of this I was impressed with the progress in relieving the calluses. I would estimate that wearing these for a month or two would have allowed them to heal completely.
But unfortunately these are too flimsy to be worn anywhere close to that long. On the third day the one on my left foot broke. I didn't notice until I took my sock of at the end of the day, but it is now completely un-useable. So it didn't last long enough to be worth it.

Beating all this in mind I might still day that if you weigh less than 150 lbs and aren't exceptionally active during the day then they might still be okay for you. For me though, far too disposable.


UPDATE: 7 days use. After writing the first use review I was contacted by the seller, They were great! explained that I could do a 5 minute directly applied to teeth with swab. I can do 5 minutes while getting ready in the morning. I did this 3 times with substantial whitening.  They are not hollywood white (I think those teeth are made of porcelain) but they are stain free and look great!

 I read other reviews that said they had adverse effects with sensitivity and burning/white gums. I did not.
I thoroughly read the lengthy instructions. They are step by step and easy. My kit did not come with Desensitizer so I skipped the first step. I boiled water and put the mouth guards in while holding on to the handles, the instructions said no more than 3 seconds and they are not kidding, I went 7 seconds and they were very shrunk, but I have a small jaw so it worked for me. I would suggest doing one piece at a time as they do melt/stick together in the hot water and in the mouth once you bite down. The instructions talked about Vit E to rub on the gums so the whitening doesn't whiten your gums, my kit did not come with it but it did come with 2 swabs, I guess to apply Vit E. I broke a fish capsule and rubbed that on my gums, seems to have worked. The light you use a bright blue color, standard whitening light, I will say after you have the
mouth pieces and light in your mouth it is awkward and I drooled a lot. I did the process as instructed for 15 minutes. The kit comes with 3 vials of whitening gel. I used a small amount to test sensitivity and so that it wouldn't squeeze out of the trays, at the rate I used the product I will have 36 applications/whitenings. So for $12 it is a fantastic deal. Now to the results after 1 use, I saw no significant difference. I will continue to use the product daily for 7 days and do an update. I also want to mention that this company has a great program for reorder, lifetime free gel just pay shipping $7.99 and new mouthguards were $1.50. I did get this entire kit for free via AMzRC

When I ordered this I had no idea what to expect as I have never had a need for one, so had nothing to compare it to. My Father-In-Law needs the help of a walker to get around so decided to give this a try. He has been using one of those walkers with 2 wheels up front and you just drag the back legs. He didn't do a lot of walking with it. Once we gave this to him he has been out and about every day, even in the rain!! The seat is so hndy as he does get tired during his walkabouts. This is so easy for him to use that he has started investigating a lot more of the neighborhood. And... best of all, he is meeting the neighbors and making new friends.

It comes in a tripple boxed state. Yep, 3 sturdy boxes which actuall are heavier than the walker itself. The walker is very light but is strong and very well made. It includes the walker which folds down for transporting in a small space. There is a drink cup which slides right into the supplied bracket. A small cup snaps in place and one can take their cane along while walking. The wheels are large 10 inchers up front with smaller trailing wheels. Tires are rubber and mounted on some snazzy looking wheels. There is a black bag that hangs up front and zips open or closed. It also has a larger bag so that you can fold the walker up and slip it into the bag for traveling. They have thought of everything on this one. We are now calling my Father-In-Law Hot Rod.

Assembly was easy as it was already assembled with the exception of the cup holder, the cane holder and the bag. Everythng was in perfect working order with one exception. The zipper on the hanging bag has 2 zipper heads. One of the zipper head pulls broke off when I tried to zip it shut. I am going to remove the broken one as well as the second and install a small rope type pull that would be easier for some people with hand issues to operate. The maker of this might want to do the same. The pull will hang down about 2 inches and is easier to handle and will be a contrasting colour for easy visibility. I had considered a 4 star rating because of this zipper issue but it is such a sweet walker that I just cannot bring myself to downrating it for the zipper pull. Yes, it is that nice!!

If you are looking for something like this and want the best, you might do yourself a favour and get one of these.. This is going to last for a very long time.


I am 56 years old in very good health. The idea behind my purchase was as an option for my parents who are in there 80's with health conditions of arthritis and severe inflammation. So i am trying it out on myself first to see how it affects my body prior to offering it to them. I have taken about 3 cups of this per day, split up throughout the day and at this review writing I am going into my 5th day of taking it. The first day, after the first half a cup, within minutes you could tell that the water was different and perked me up. The first day, I felt great. The second day, I still felt great but you could feel a slight detox going on in your system. I was not sick or anything like that, but you could tell that things were moving more throughout your body and I was urinating more than usual, my stomach was roaring at times. But I was never sick, just felt a little different than normal.  I find that usually by 10:00 p.m, I have had it for the day and need to retire for the evening. Last night (4th day), I looked at the clock and it was midnight and I felt like it was 4:00 in the afternoon and I was still watching TV. The time had gotten by me, as I did not feel tired whatsoever and it was like I was forced myself to go to bed as it was late for me. So I think I am not going to drink it after maybe 7 p.m. this evening as I did have difficulty falling asleep last night because I was so awake. Needless to say, this water is not just plain water, something is going on with it...expensive yes. But the way I look at it it will take me about 3-4 days to go through one bottle and you do not drink just this water. You drink regular water as well. So this is not your only water source. Needless to say, I have ordered some for my parents to try and it will arriving for them. I am going to purchase some for them so that they can take it for a month and see how it goes for them. I want to add that I am not affiliated with this company, this is not a paid review or anything like that. I am just a person who found out about this water on youtube and researched it out and bought some of it. I have tried other waters in the past few years and truthfully, they did tasted smoother than normal bottled water but I did not really feel different from there use. So whether this Kaqun water is helping me or not...at 4 days you don't know, but I do know that I am more alert not that dragging feeling and I do feel better in 4 days. And I do know that I look forward to drinking the water.


UPDATED REVIEW (changed 3*'s to 5*'s):

You need this item in your life. One day you too will eat some sketchy gas station bbq, and you will be sitting on the toilet, crying, praying, and probably wishing you'd just go ahead and die and get it over with. Even the good toilet tissue will feel like rough-grain sandpaper. At some point you will stop caring if you're actually clean or not, you'll just want to go back to bed, to die in peace. And then you'll remember that you bought this item, pull it out from under the sink, knock the cobwebs off, and use it. And you too will cry in relief. Pro tip: warm water to get you clean, then cool/cold water for relief. You're welcome.

---

Ok, I'm not sure how to write a review about an item that sprays water up your butt, and not be totally gross, but I'm going to try.

First of all, the big question: DOES IT WORK? Answer? Eh... Ish. If you lived through the great toilet tissue shortage of 2020, and you were hoping for an item that would completely replace the need for toilet tissue, you're going to be sorely disappointed. HOWEVER! It does greatly reduce the amount of toilet tissue that you'll need. Also, if you think that one bottle will be enough, you're going to be even more disappointed.

I read a lot of reviews of people complaining about the air-hole at the bottom leaking. Either those people got defective bottles, or they've improved the design, because I don't even put a finger over the hole, and mine has never leaked a single drop of water. I did once accidentally knock the arm (with the sprayer head), back into the bottle, and ended up with water EVERYWHERE... soaked my shirt, the floor, pants, everything. At least it was warm water!

My main issue is that it doesn't spray hard enough to actually get you clean. What I end up doing is use the bidet, then wipe, and repeat about 3 times, until the tissue is clean. I get pretty much the same results from using wet wipes, but at least the bidet is cheaper than wipes and tissue, and  doesn't clog the pipes like wipes do.

Because of damaged nerves in my back, the motion of twisting around to wipe is incredibly painful for me, so I appreciate that I don't have to wipe as much. And it's convenient for me to use multiple times, because the sink is right next to me. So it works for what I need. Whether it works for you or not, you'll have to decide. Hope this was helpful. Y'all be blessed.


I had a bit of an unusual purchase experience. A couple of weeks after purchasing the products, I received a letter in the mail saying that the product shipment had been delayed due to some production issues that they were experiencing. With the letter, they included 2 additional free rollers to apologize for the inconvenience, which I appreciated. I patiently waited, and waited, and waited.. And finally after about another month to a month and a half, I finally received the product. So after receiving the product I had already waited nearly 2 months. I know that this was not a typical experience for most buyers and I don't want to judge too harshly because the seller was friendly, apologetic, and offered the free rollers. However I did mention this because it's important to know that this item is shipping from another country and will take a couple of weeks (minimum) to arrive. I just wanted to mention that and now I will continue with my product review:

Pros:
- Comes with 2 "extra coarse" rolling heads, which are very easy to clean and replace
- Comes with a traveling pouch to carry your items in, if desired
- Comfortable design to hold and very easy to use
- Roller is not too harsh on your skin. When rolling over your skin, it feels nice and smooth almost as if you are getting a foot massage.

Cons:
- Slow shipping due to international shipment
- Unit contains no battery at all and will only work when plugged up. It is not a unit that can be charged up and used as needed. The unit is advertised correctly, I just wanted to mention this in case someone missed it in the item description.
- For tough calluses, this unit doesn't quite do the job. I have a few tough calluses on my feet and you can smooth them out, but you have to roll over the area many times to smooth it out because either the unit doesn't spin fast enough or the included rollers are not coarse enough to handle tough calluses. I plan to purchase the higher grade coarse roller heads in the future to see if those help.

Though the price was little high for my taste, all in all, I like this device and it is probably one of the best options for removing calluses painlessly and effortlessly. Before purchasing this device, I used a PedEgg for smoothing out my calluses, but decided to buy this before the PedEgg is just awful. The PedEgg blades dull out quickly, it hurt my feet when trying to remove tough callus marks, required a lot of manual effort, and just did an all around worse job than this device does.


Works great, but use as directed!

I’m an oily monster with giant pores.  It’s sad, but true.  I decided to finally try out a face vacuum and see if it did anything for me.  It did, it really did!  But I have learned I need to follow directions.

The first time I used it, I was a bit skeptical and thinking it might work like those nose peel strips, you know, where it pulls up the gunk so it’s sticking out all over and your nose looks like a hedgehog?  Yeah, that.  So I casually reviewed the instructions, set them aside, and went to town sucking face.

Real talk, I was going to post some gunk pics, but they were just too funky.  But trust me when I say I ended up with about half a pea sized pile of nose goo.  It wasn’t pretty, but it was pretty satisfying.  Also a bit horrifying- that was in my face?!  Gross.

It worked so well that I decided to try it out again the next day.  This is where I should have read the directions, which clearly state that you shouldn’t really do that.  The vacuum worked, it sucked out some more blackheads, but not nearly as much as before, hallelujah.  Buuuuut.  My nose felt a little sting afterwards, like it was lightly sunburned.  I figured no big deal, it will go away.  It did go away, but you know when you get a little sunburned your skin gets rough and then peeely?  Yeah, that happened.  I got a bit of flaky-nose.

To be clear, this was MY FAULT, I should have followed instructions!  So I’m just saying, when you get this, you should follow the instructions, okay?  Learn from my mistake.  I also gave myself a little accidental face hickey, because I didn’t pay attention when the instructions say to keep moving.  Lesson learned, no more flaky nose or face hickeys!

I found the best way to clean the cones is with a qtip to get the gunk, and some rubbing alcohol for an all over wipe down.

This little machine really sucks, no pun intended, and it does a great job.  The price is very reasonable, and as of now, there’s a discount you can click on, so it’s even more value for money, woot!  I really like this, and I’ve already recommended it to my friend.

Bottom Line - two gunk-free thumbs up, read the directions, recommend buy


I first got this exact same model number EZ Access Walker Bag in January when I went to a medical supply store in Manhattan located near my doctor's office to buy an immediately needed walker. The bag cost me $59.95. It turned out to be much more useful than I thought it would be, particularly at my job. With the bag on the side of the walker, and with the zipper on the large pocket open, I am able to put a ream of paper in the bag to carry it  to our copier. I am able to put a gallon size bottle of water in the same large pocket to carry it from the refrigerator to my office. Tonight we had a lecture presentation and I was able to fill the large pockets (having bought a 2nd bag thru Amazon.com which arrived yesterday) with spoons, a container of milk, a bottle of Coffee Mate, Sugar, foam cups, all to bring to the refreshment table in the room for the presentation. It feels good to be able to do these relatively simple chores again, and not depend upon others to do them,  as I have had to do since 9 months ago when i first came down with a series of physical injuries which coincidentally led to a relapse of a plasma cell cancer which had been in remission for 14 years. I do only use the pockets for carrying items at work and at home. I use the walker outdoors only to walk from my house or from my office, or from one of my many medical appointments, to a waiting car service. The bag's zippered pocket stays closed and flat while outside, keeping the bag nice and flat and unobtrusive, as I feel I must be while outdoors. At 4'6", having lost over 5 inches in the past decade due to my illness, it had become very hard walking around the city's sidewalks filled with people so much taller, who it seemed were always walking into me, having not noticed me down there while talking on their cellphone. At home I add a removable tray to the walker, and now with two pockets, it has become so easy to transport things all over my house. So, I really love this walker bag for helping me feel so much less helpless than I did 2 months ago. And, as I stated up above, the 2nd bag that I bought thru amazon.com was 19.99, whereas the 1st bag cost me $59.95, which is a whopping $40 more, from a medical supply store in Manhattan. Oh, and I should mention how much less I saw the exact same Drive folding walker model on amazon.com selling for, than what I paid for it in the same medical supply store. Too upsetting, so I remind myself that I had no choice as I needed the walker immediately, and that was the price I paid for immediate.


Background: I have been using Rebecca 17.1 for many months and am quite happy with it!  IT WORKS GREAT!! Then came along some new hardware, and Mint is very accommodating to it, so the next pc was with this newer recently released Rosa 17.3 version.  I am primarily using Mint for LibreOffice which is included, or free elsewhere, and the internet.  This version has proved to be even better than 17.1. Open source means its made by us, and this version seems to be perfected, intuitive, and easy to use to me.

Disk Use: As soon as you begin to boot up change the boot device to cd-rom in your bios, this is started with pressing the F2 and/or Delete key on some MBs.  Next it will boot directly from this disc.  Test and play with the program while it is held in RAM memory.  Install it to your drive from an icon on the home screen. It will erase the drive disk first & install, OR install alongside your current op-sys which I would recommend you may want to do (if your current op-sys is working ok) at first.

Why pay $11 for this disk?:  Because thats peanuts compared to around $100, and it will boot right up without errors in my experience.  I tried downloading my own as I have done before, and it did not want to boot for some reason.  I wanted a "perfect" copy like this disc that I can use again whenever I want, and I hope to, a few times!

Conclusion:  It may not need all the extra security & drive conditioning attention "Smoke & Mirrors" does, or run games, or S&M Office, but I have one version of that old system still around, which I think will get used for Turbo Tax again.  And don't blame me for the name either, I did not tell them to put both of those things on the first screen!  Does anyone remember the older sky-blue "chemtrail" screen with the sun hazed out, and the white lines all over on it?  Hummm?  I haven't been on the "other system" for months, believe it or not.  Some programs I use my phone for, where Android is powered by.....Linux.

I cannot recommend this op-sys more highly.  It works for all my daily needs, and I have been puttering around with hardware & software for some time.  Its pretty easy to learn, you probably wont ever need to use the command line, as I dont.


UPDATE 4/4/17:  This Key Chain has been hanging on the outside of my purse/bag every day since I purchased it back in August 2015! (It currently holds 7-2ml and 2-1ml bottles.  See pics of well-loved pouch.)  I still absolutely love it. It has held up well, no busted seams or over-stretched elastic.

I see where some reviewers are not happy.  I wonder if this is due to a product change or purchased from a different seller than I did. Mine came from Everything Essential [[ASIN:B013GKMF7G Stylish Essential Oil Key Chain with 8 5/8 Dram (2 ml) Vials and Blank Labels - Fits Easily in a Purse or Makeup Bag - Carry Your Favorite Essential Oils Everywhere You Go! (Black/White Windsor)]]

Of note, my order contained only the case and eight 2ml brown bottles.  No pipettes, labels, or removal tool...  AND YET!  I would buy it again for the current $12.95 price.  I am in no way related to the seller - I just love this product.

ORIGINAL:  Dang, I love this thing!
It comes with eight amber 2ml (5/8ths) dram glass bottles with black lids.  Each with a small white lid label that can be applied.

Outside:
The outside is made of cloth and has a soft canvas feel.  I received the blue/white windsor colored case.  It is a very dark blue, nearly black.
A smooth-gliding black zipper wraps around three sides.  It is attached to an approx 2" silver carabiner hook.  The set up feels very sturdy.

Inside:
The inside has a dark blue background with white polka dots.  Very cute!  This is where there is eight black elastic loops for securing oil vials.  Each 3/4" width elastic loop easily holds from 1ml (1/4 dram, 7/8") bottles *up to* 5ml (1.5"), too!
(Dram = 3.7ml, but a dram bottle is often called a 5ml.)
Further, the vials are protected from the zipper with a piece of soft piping that runs the full zipper length!  This is a really nice extra feature!

I currently have this stocked with my favorite go-to oils and have it clipped to my bag.  It is lightweight and much easier to haul around than a baggie or small satchel.  I love that my bottles are secured, but still easy to access.

***Note:  One trick I have found is to slide the bottles into the case elastic lid first.  This prevents the elastic from hanging on the bottle lid.***

It is made in China.


I have used this supplement before with amazing  results and this time...I really didn't notice anything that amazing.  Now that could be because I am on a new prescription and I am not feeling the effects because the prescription  is counteracting it.  Which is what I  believe to be the case.
Now I  do have to manage acute pain every single day.  I had forgot why I was taking the Hyaluronic Acid for until now it is begining to make sense.  I had been using this every single day until about a two weeks ago and ever since then I have had so MUCH joint pain and muscle pain I almost made another appointment with the Orthopaedic Specialist that has been relieving my pain  with injections.  Now I know why I started to get these pains out of nowhere two weeks ago.  I cannot go without this supplement.  I HAVE BEEN  IN SO MUCH PAIN FROM MY KNEES because I didn't take this.  It really works.  I do like larger doses than what this Pure Science Hyaluronic Acid With MSM has.  At least 100 mg of H.A. and 500  mg min of MSM.
I have Osteoarthritis in my spine and in my knees and that is why a lot of people take H.A.
People take MSM by mouth or apply it to the skin, mostly using it to lessen inflammation.

They take MSM to try to relieve pain or swelling from:

Osteoarthritis or rheumatoid arthritis
Bursitis, tendinitis, or tenosynovitis
Osteoporosis
Muscle cramps
Scleroderma
Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders
Headaches or hangover
Premenstrual syndrome
Inflammation in eyes or mucous membranes
People also apply MSM to the skin to try to treat problems such as:

Scar tissue or stretch marks
Wrinkles
Wind or sun burn
Wounds, cuts, or abrasions
Or they may take it to try to treat gastrointestinal problems such as:

Chronic constipation
Ulcers
Diverticulosis (a bowel disease)
There is a whole range of other reasons people take MSM. This includes obesity and liver problems, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, gum disease, snoring, infections, lung problems, Alzheimer's, HIV, and cancer.

  Since I wasn't quite sure if it was working or not I did not submit my review in the 14 days I was asked.  However,  I cannot just spit out a review when I'm not finished with it yet.  Now that I am I do recommend this supplement to anyone that is diagnosed with any of the disordered listed in this review.


Amazing how this thing actually works! But let me start by telling you why I purchased it.... I installed security cameras inside my house a couple months ago and from the very first night they were online they began capturing strange objects flying around my house. And they are absolutely not bugs or dust. I guess you can call them orbs.  Lots of orbs and very consistant. But they can only be seen on the cameras at night when they are in night vision mode. Can't see them during the day or with the naked eye. And it has been driving me crazy trying to figure out what they are and if they have some intelligence. So I decided to purchase this pendulum board after reading all the positive reviews about it. I was going to get a Ouija board but I was worned by some not to. Ouija boards are supposed to open doors for all spirits even evil ones. That spooked me so I decided to get a pendulum because they are supposed to be the safer option. Although I must admit I really didn't think it was going to work despite the reviews. But it does! And perfectly too! I ask all yes and no questions and the crystal swings perfectly in line with Yes or No on the board. Never Maybe. I first asked if there are spirits here with me and it immediately started swinging back and forth in a perfect line with Yes. And not just short little movements either. I mean eal long steady swinging back and forth from one Yes to the other on opposite sides of the board. And my hand, arm, and body was absolutley still as could be. Next I asked if the spirits are good and it continued to swing back and forth in a perfect line with Yes on the board. Then I asked if any of the spirits here are bad and the crystal began to move in a different direction immediately until it swung in a perfect line with the words No on the board. Which made me happy. Then I asked if my sister who passed away 3 years ago was with the spirits and immediately it began to change direction again until it was swinging in a perfect line with Yes on the board. I am completely blown away by the experience and overwhelmed by the feelings this pendulum board gave me. I know most of you who are reading this doubt my word and don't believe it. If I were you I wouldn't believe it either. But for the few bucks it cost anyone can easily afford to try it out for themselves if they want. It is amazing!

Mexican is one of my favorite foods and smothering a bean burrito with red sauce and onions is one of my quick, stand-by dinner options.  With such a simple meal, it is imperative to have fresh and tasty ingredients.  I've tried many red sauces and some were quite good.  According to my husband this has been the best sauce.  He says it beats the enchilada sauces he has had in most Mexican restaurants.

Unfortunately, I cannot offer my own taste appraisal because this product is not vegetarian.  Frontera makes two red sauces -- one that is in a pouch [[ASIN:B0048IFVCM Frontera Pouch, Enchilada Skillet Red Chile, 8-Ounce (Pack of 6)]]and this product that comes in a jar.  The product in the pouch is vegetarian.  The product in the jar is not.  After examining the ingredients on the pouch, I had made the assumption both products were equal and purchased the jar (because it was a better price) without rechecking the ingredients. The sauce in the jar has chicken in it.  If you are vegetarian, don't purchase the jar option unless it is for family/friends.

My husband's rave reviews of this sauce have led me to order [[ASIN:B0048IFVCM Frontera Pouch, Enchilada Skillet Red Chile, 8-Ounce (Pack of 6)]].  My husband says that the product has a rich tomato taste and the roasted garlic inside the sauce complements the sauce well.  The sauce spreads easily and is not thin or tomato paste thick.  The 16 oz. jar was perfect for covering eight burritos (using six inch tortillas).

I purchased my Frontera enchilada sauce in the 16 ounce jar from my local co-op for about four and a half dollars.  The price on the vegetarian/pouch version on Amazon is cheaper than my co-ops (which was charging about three dollars for the eight oz. pouch).

Ingredients:  Water, Tomato (fresh tomato, tomato juice, calcium chloride, citric acid), roasted tomato, New Mexico Chile Pepper, Apple Cider Vinegar, Salt, roasted onion, roasted red bell pepper, roasted garlic, sugar, chicken base (cooked chicken and chicken juices, salt, sugar, maltodextrin, chicken fat, dehydrated onions, citric acid, turmeric, natural flavors), vegetable oil, xanthan gum, and spices.

What I say:

I work third shifts. I have a dark colored bedroom and even darker window blinds. Yet still too much light gets into the room for me to sleep without a "blackout" mask.

I do not want any pressure on my eyeball. I just do not see how that would be good/healthy for anyone. I also like to open my eyes if I hear something strange. Masks that touch the eyelids keep me from easily opening my eyes. (I do not mind the dark as long as I can open my eyes.)

This mask is dented AND PADDED within so I can open my eyes fully. It is like waking up to a dark room.

Even if you have a LARGE nose, little-to-no light will get through. Neither I, nor my husband, saw any light, no matter if we slept on our backs or sides.

I tested it out by washing it 4 times in the washing machine and even tossed it into the dryer. There was no shrinking, the elastic was still like new, and the material was soft.

Of course, I will come back and edit this review should anything change within the next year or so. Masks, no matter how well made, do not last forever; however, I feel that I should get at least a year of rest out of them.


I love, love, love rechargeable water flossers and have tested out several. This one ranks near the top in performance and value.

Some things to look for:
Tank size. This one is 300ml which is not uncommon, but some are smaller. For me, bigger is better as it means less refills.
Recharging. All are pretty much the same here. Some use USB-C and some are Micro USB. I prefer the USB-C, because its faster and easier to insert into the port. This flosser has a micro usb port.
Tips. These are about average and work as expected. Expect each tip to last about 6 months with regular use.
Modes. Several modes are offered with pulse and low and high pressure most common. I like the high pressure this offers to really get in the tight spots and loosen up food particles.

Some say it’s “messy” and it is I guess. You have to sort of bend over the sink and water and gunk will run out of your mouth, over the flosser and your hand into the sink. I actually like seeing what is being removed, so for me it’s OK and a whole lot easier than flossing with dental floss. I just keep going around and around until no more particles are coming out. Sometimes it’s two tanks, sometimes it’s three. I’ve learned to use warm water as my teeth are cold sensitive.

I have one larger space between to bottom molars that always bleeds a bit from this, but its still OK to use it in that situation. You could lower the power, if needed.

If you haven’t used one of these before, you’ll be pleasantly surprised at how good it works to remove bits of food. Also, it really refreshes your mouth too.  I always do a quick run around the top and bottom of the jaw/cheek juncture where food can collect. You can hit your tongue if you want to, say if you use this first thing in the morning. It’ll tingle a bit and you could use a lower setting or pulse, just for fun! I also go around the gum line. It’s very effective for me and I’d say it takes about 95% out, which is terrific. I do notice that if I go back in with dental floss, I sometimes find some that this missed.

I like to brush every so often too and as mentioned, I also use an Oral B dental flosser from time to time, so I can best maintain my teeth and gums. I think this combination works well for preserving and maintaining my dental and oral health.

Recommended and would buy it again


At first I wasn't too sure if this was going to work for me needless to say I was a bit skeptical. Lately I have found myself trying out more of the natural and organic way of doing things. I like the fact that this supplements can be used as a pain reliever, mood enhancer, as well as an anti-inflammatory to help relieve joint pain and to help sharpen your mind. I just love the fact that I can come by true natural organic supplements with very few ingredients. The product is gluten, dairy, and soy free, just to name a few, which is another great factor for this wonderful product. It does have a light scent to it that is very earthy with a hint of ginger smell. It makes me feel better about what I am putting in my body. There are so many supplements out there that have way too many ingredients that it takes away from the main product that you are after. My husband has often told me my memory has always been very good but lately I have noticed myself having scatterbrain. I also suffer from joint pain. After taking the Turmeric Boost pills for a week, I find myself bending and stretching a little bit more without the aching feeling that I normally have. I have also been feeling better with my mind sharpened. Having depression I also have seen my mood be uplifting a bit. A good alternative for someone like me. Again a natural and organic way of doing things.

After trying out this supplements, I absolutely love turmeric and this one has proven easy to take with no stomach after effects, though I've only been using it for a few days, I think it's a fair amount of time to state that I do feel my intended results, which is a lessening of pain associated with joint issues I've had for a long time. There are some benefits other than that which I will discuss, but I will say it is a good anti-inflammatory agent, thus relieves my inflammatory pain and discomfort. I also love the fact that this supplement is organic. It's gluten free (something we need to be careful with). It is effective in reducing or relieving pain associated with inflammation, which is what I take the supplement for, however, I will say that I really appreciate the other things I've read about related to turmeric. There have been studies that turmeric is effective in depression and mood elevations, and helps with prevention of certain kinds of cancers. Turmeric is a powerful antioxidant, and that is also very good to take!

I received the product for free in exchange of my review.


These are the tastiest protein bars I have tasted so far. They are not dry and hard like other protein bars on the market. I've tried Alani Nu and Quest Bars (plus others brands) and these by far taste the best. I bought the variety pack to try out all the flavors and all of them tasted very delicious. Like a candy bar. The box that it came in was a bit damaged, maybe from transit? But the bars were fine.

For those who are interested to know about taste/flavor
My favorites were:
Dark Chocolate Raspberry: Tastes just like the flavor name. Dark chocolate and raspberries.
Peanut nutter: Tastes like chocolate and peanut butter. Kind of like a Little Debbie Nutty Bar.
Salted Peanut: White chocolate. This one tasted like a softer version of a PayDay bar.
Chocolate Chip Salted Caramel: I didn't notice any chocolate chip but it did have caramel in it. Tastes like salted caramel.

My least favorite:
Caramel chaos: had no caramel and it tasted like a chocolate protein bar just not as dry as the usual protein bars you get. Really confused on the name and flavor. If I had purchased this flavor alone instead of the variety pack, I would have been disappointed.
Chocolate chip cookie dough: tasted like cookie dough (you wouldn't be able to tell the flavor without reading the name) with some bits and pieces of chocolate chips. Not bad but I personally wouldn't go out of my way to purchase this flavor.

I would repurchase the variety pack again since I really enjoyed 4/6 of the flavors. Do read the instructions on the box regarding ingredients, allergies, and storage conditions.

EDIT:
So I'm finishing up the rest of the bars and I noticed that the last caramel chaos bar is completely different from the first bar I tried from the pack. The first bar was completely chocolate inside with no caramel and the last bar had a very thin layer of caramel on top with a peanut butter like filling with bits and pieces of chocolate chip. Did they mispackage some bars into the wrong wrapper?? Were any of these bars the actual caramel chaos because neither of them tasted anything like caramel.

Finished my second box and I have come to the conclusion that some of these bars are PACKAGED INCORRECTLY. Caramel Chaos and Salted Caramel have been different bars... Caramel Chaos has been packaged with a Salted Caramel bar, Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough bar, a plain chocolate bar, and an unknown one (which I'm guessing may be the real identity). The last Salted Caramel bar I had was a plain chocolate one, similar to the first Caramel Chaos bar I had. No caramel, just chocolate like a Tootsie Roll. The bars are delicious but I'm not really happy to find my bars being packaged incorrectly.


I'm really glad I selected the leaf motive with its variegated pattern.  The SoClean container has rounded corners. The decals were really well thought out to match up the flat pieces without gaps that were not planned for.  I recommend planning out your project steps before beginning.  I was unsure which side was considered left and which one was considered right.  By starting with a piece that was was symmetrical, it made for an enjoyable and quick project.  I started with the piece labeled Front.  It had a notched out space for the control panel.  After attaching it, I continued with another piece that was not questionable:  the top.  I made sure the decal was aligned with the edge and well centered.  The print of the decal reminded me of wallpaper.  The alignment is especially important anywhere there will be an adjacent piece.  The right side and the left side were those adjacent pieces.  In the end, my idea of right & left was not what the manufacturer had intended.  Starting with front and top kept my misconception from becoming a mistake.  The decals come off well, and remained intact, not tearing or peeling.  Like wallpaper and large decals, air gets trapped underneath.  To avoid that, I aligned an edge, then pushed outward from the middle of the decal and smoothing outward pushing out air along the way.  The 5 main pieces were easy to apply and only a little air was trapped.  It came out easily by either pushing the bubble toward the closest edge, or lifting the decal and smoothing it again.

The last of the pieces to apply were the small strips around the sides of the lid, the skinny strips.  To my delight, the print matched up really well.  It was not perfect, but it didn't matter.  I only had one spot that ended up with a little bit of wrinkles.  It didn't bother me becuase of the busy pattern, and the fact that the SoClean has a rounded body being wrapped in a flat decal.  It was bound to happen.  I call that a WIN!

The leaf print is a nice crisp green leafy pattern over a stark white background.  It dresses up the bedside "equipment" and makes it look like a decorative item.  And with the green and white, it should be extremely versatile, just like a plant in a white container would be.  I know I made the perfect choice for me.  I highly recommend it!


[[VIDEOID:60113d9fe849cfe6248fa74dfed0bdc1]] Summary: As a person who bites their nails, plays with knives, and regularly cuts their toenails too short these are a game changer. They keep a bandaid on easily, keep water out, and reduce pain from an injured finger.

Background: I cut off a chunk of my middle finger two days ago at work, and they gave me a bandaid and a blue "finger condom" as they called it. It immediately made my life easier. I had painful cuts on two other fingers from a woodworking project and cut one of my toenails too short (causing slight pain to walk lol), so I figured these would come in handy.

Shipping: I ordered them at around 3 am on nov 9 with 2 day shipping, they came nov 10 (1 day early. That was nice!) They came in a white box (pictured) sealed in plastic.

Sizing: they are a little over two inches long, so they don't make it all the way to the base of my longest finger but do on the others. They snugly fit on all my fingers and toes, but are a bit tight on my thumb and big toe. At work I use medium sized vinyl glove. For further size reference, I am female with average sized hands and abnormally long toes. I cut one of the cots shorter for my thumb (see last photo) and it is no longer too tight.

Material/durability: these are made of latex, and seem to be about as thick as a typical latex glove. They seem pretty durable. I tested it by both slicing and poking it with a knife (seen in video). It is obviously not cut proof but it took a fair amount of pressure with a knife to slice through it, and I dragged it across the serrated edge and it did not break. It took a relatively hard poke to make a hole. For the price, they are much more durable than I expected. The latex has a pretty good grip on everything, but that may go down with longer use. They do not roll up my finger at all. Even the one I cut short is staying on my thumb with no problem. With no bandaid they work with a touch screen, but with a band aid on underneath it it is harder to use the touch screen.

All in all, pretty amazing for the price. If you are bigger than a size medium in gloves/id you are a grown man I'd recommend getting these ones in a larger size.


The automatic logging of daily weight on the Fitbit site is a real convenience. Yes, I know you can remember or write down the number and enter is manually, but what gets put off often doesn't get done, so I can't complain about the convenience. The weight also seems to be pretty accurate if you keep the scale in the same place on a hard surface and step on it the same way each time. Different foot placement or leaning a bit can give inconsistent weight, but that's true for an extent on any digital scale so you just do it the same way each time and i doesn't vary more than one would expect from normal daily weight fluctuations.

The body fat % is not an exact science on these monitors regardless of brand. It only measures the path up and down your legs and through your hips and not your entire body. Legs tends to have more lean mass (bones, connective tissue, etc...) so the formulas have to make some assumptions based on height and weight to extrapolate that measurement. The sales are also very prone to hydration and how well your feet conduct electrically, but that's the nature of the beast. Most people have different body fat percentages on different parts of their bodies, so it's all just an average estimate anyway. Compared to skin fold calipers, the scale reads mine as a few percent higher than the calipers. As with most things, the truth is somewhere in the middle  and based on comparisons to photos of people at different body fat percentages, the calipers seem more accurate, so the scale is measuring mine a couple percent too high. Your mileage may vary.

What's been frustrating lately is that because I've been gaining muscle mostly in my upper body, the scale is correctly measuring as weight gain, but since it's using the same amount of lean mass in my legs which hasn't changed much at all, it seems to be calculating the extra weight as fat so my body fat % number is increasing, but I know visually and from clothes being looser that I'm getting leaner. I tried setting the scale to the "lean" setting, but that reading is way off the other way being far too low.

I wish there was some way to enter in your own personal adjustment somewhere in between lean and regular or at least have Fitbit do the adjustment after the fact based on your profile, but there isn't. If there was, I'd give it five stars. I'm giving it four because its a great product within the limitation of what it does. Digital scales do need flat hard surfaces and standing the same way and electrical body fat measurements are estimates based on lots of varying factors. It doers what it does well. WIFI uploads are fast and trouble free and the batteries last at least six months, so it's pretty much a set and forget device which is what I wanted.

I have been in the hobby for 20+ yrs. After reading all the reviews I elected to purchase the product and edit the product to suit my needs, as I do ALL my products in this hobby! If you have boxed products for your tank that you’ve never had to alter in some way, give it time! You’ll certainly find different uses and ways to use the same products. I would recommend this product because the suction power is good as long as your water level is high enough for the tub to catch enough water to pump. I use this for emptying this nano tank of 12” high sitting on my nightstand, and a few 3.5g nano tanks in high places, and several others at different levels. I have a sump under my 200g and it fits under there well! I have to take off the extra tubs and tilt the device so the water can catch (suck) after the water gets too low. DO NOT SUBMERGE ENTIRE PRODUCT! But the product WORKS WELL! I purchased TWO! I have a lot of tanks. I do not know how long the batteries last, because I have not had to change the batteries after I changed my sump (3 tubs at the bottom of my tank with about a 10” clearing to get inside the tubs, at least 25g each) and all my nano tanks (4). It cleans well, but the sock it comes with is EXTREMELY small! It would be more helpful if it were longer. It is. Not like the filtration sock on my sump, and it gets dirty FAST! It’s safe to use with all sorts of fish because the bag can catch and release anything you accidentally catch (ie fry you didn’t notice were there), because the bag is easy to manually dislodge without accidentally coming off during use. I use a hose in the sock position (it is an interchangeable part that comes with the product) to do quick changes to expel waste really fast without a long drawn out water change, and a fast refill from a lower bucket to a higher sitting tank to slow the water flow back into the tank without a lot of pressure, or stress to the fry/fish. The water level never gets up to the battery, so hopefully this product will never fail me! The best part was the price! $8.89 was in my budget. When a product is priced to move, its a good product and the company knows people will buy more of them. Priced with the hobbyist in mind! Get 2!
