I've only been wearing this for 3 days. I've been a clencher for about 7 years now, and it was pretty easily managed with another brand mouth guard up until I had an accident a year and a half ago. Since then, it seems like my clenching got worse or my muscles were different...I don't know, but it caused me near daily headaches and jaw pain. lately, it's been so bad that I use a heat pad daily (multiple times), and was constantly massaging the side of my jaw that I clench on, stretching my jaw, and trying my hardest to lie down with my jaw shifted to the other side to relieve the pain. Nothing worked. I'd reset any food I did whenever I slept because I'd go right back to clenching.  It sucked. An ent (for another unrelated problem) suggested I get an "anti snore" mouthguard, even though I don't snore. He said it would set my lower jaw forward so I couldn't clench...but I wasn't okay with the price, and didn't like the idea of having such a huge contraption in my mouth to sleep, so I started googling. Found this and got it 100% because of the amazing reviews. Day 1, I woke up and didn't need to massage my jaw just so my bite would fit together. Pain returned late at night once I started to get tired. For half the day though, my jaw felt tight, but more normal than it had in awhile. Day two, same thing, but the headache seemed more manageable. I'm now at the end of day 3, and have gone the whole day without feeling the need to massage my jaw or "set" it back into place (I have some BIG strong knots from years of intense clenching). I feel like those knots are starting to give. I am really optimistic this will be a great long term solution...if I'm feeling this much better after 3 days, I can't wait to see what 3 weeks, months, years are like! This is GREAT for clenchers  (I don't grind), and I could see it working well for grinders too because it comfortably holds your back teeth apart, just a little bit. Fits snugly, molding is easy, and hasn't shifted my teeth out of place. WAY better than mouth guards that sit between your back upper and lower teeth because it PREVENTS the ability to grind or clench. 5 stars!!


I bought this for indoor use, as the BBC recommended regular oximeter readings as a way to catch Covid early. It arrived at my doorstep 5 days ago and the packaging made this look like a very sharp, neat, and professional product.

Immediately upon opening the package and observing the device, I noticed that the plastic was severely scuffed on one side, as if someone had dropped it with some significant momentum onto concrete or asphalt. This has lead me to strongly believe that this is NOT a condition-new oximeter. Further review of the product's page here on Amazon shows that there is no guarantee that the product bought would be new. So, I am 99.9% certain that I received a refurbished (and still slightly albeit cosmetically damaged) unit. Either that, or their Quality Control simply doesn't care about superficial damage. Regardless, I am deducting 1 start from my review for this alone.

The other two stars are deducted for a pretty significant issue with the device's function. It straight up does not work outside under moderately-bright sunshine. For the past 5 days, I've been using it indoors with no problem. In fact, when it works, it's great! There's a visual graph showing your pulse along with all the numbers that you would expect from a pulse-oximeter. However, on two separate occasions today (separated by a couple of hours), this device proved to simply not work when exposed to sunlight. I live on the coast of California and it has been somewhat overcast/foggy all day. I tried using it in my local supermarket's parking lot, and the device simply refused to acknowledge that there was even a finger in it, displaying flatline metrics and quickly returning to its powered-down state. Worked fine inside the store. Later, while out for a walk, I tried it again outside and again it failed to register the presence of my finger. And again, after returning home and trying it inside, the thing works fine.
So... if you're looking for a pulse-oximeter for your indoor activities (at home, inside a gym, etc), I'd say that this is a pretty good product. If you're looking for something you expect to use outside, however, this is NOT FOR YOU.

Finally, this product is made in China, which is something I didn't consider when I hit that "Buy Now" button. This alone would have been enough to keep me from buying it if I had realized beforehand. No use crying over spilt milk now; but if you are conscious about that sort of thing, consider seeking out a different brand.


I know what you're thinking. I know EXACTLY what you're thinking. I thought the same thing when my husband told me about this "awesome thing he saw somewhere" that allows you to suck the snot out of your baby's nose with your mouth. Ummm, excuse me? No. Well, it finally happened: my husband was right, and I was wrong.

1 or 2 little "baby colds" later, half a dozen restless if not completely sleepless nights later, I sent him out to purchase this miracle tube. And miracle it is, my friends.

First of all, it's not as disgusting as I first thought. It's not like siphoning gas - the snot isn't going to fly up into your mouth. Check out the picture. The snot is collected into a tube at the baby's nose, and then you blow it back out into a nearby tissue or wipe. And unlike the infamous "bulb syringe", this works.

Picture this: You're up in the middle of the night because baby is snoring and grunting. He can't breathe. Again. You lay him down on the changing table and grab the bulb syringe and depress it, and stick it into his nose. It slooooowly regains its shape and sucks out a bit of snot. You depress it again. By this time your baby is screaming like he's being squashed by an elephant. The problem with the bulb thingy is that it doesn't always "suck" fast enough, leaving you with a screaming baby.  You grab it and place the end of the tube into the baby's nose. You suck quickly. BAM! You can see what's coming out. You see your progress. Within 5 seconds, your baby's airway is clear and you pick him up to comfort him.

It's easy to clean. It's transportable. It's ready whenever you need it. It's fast-acting. This thing ROCKS.

Oh, and don't act like you're grossed out by this review.. If you already have a baby, no doubt you have seen and read things much, much grosser. And if you don't have one yet, well, let's just say that your conversation topics and amazon searches will become totally shameless, and snot is the least disgusting thing you will experience and talk about.

To address other reviewers' germ concerns: I'm just cracking up at the number of 1-star reviews saying, "I GOT THE EXACT SAME COLD AS MY BABY OMG!!" Don't let being afraid of breathing your baby's exhalations that you don't order this. You're going to be all around his sicky germs regardless of what aspirator you use.


Inside the box there is an instruction book(English). I did not read the instruction book, but did my own internet research on where to put the cups to treat different problems. I heard from a friend who grow up with cupping therapy suggest put the cups (the big ones) on the back is the safest place, and put them on the place where there are ""meat"", not bones. I did this for my son (9 year old) who has asthma to clear up debris on the back by putting 6 cups (3 each side) near chest area.

The suction guns are powerful, and just two pumps I see the skin raised almost to the silver point inside the cup. Two pumps are usually enough to get results. I used this for my son who got sick often and even after getting well he would continue to have dry cough that usually drag for weeks. I used the cups 10 min each time before bed time on the back when he was at the dry cough stage. I did my own research what meridian points on the back I should place the cups. The first time I did this I saw good results. He started to cough out phlem instead of dry cough, and after one week he totally stopped coughing and there was no more restriction in breathing. You may see the skin turned red or purple (like a pepperoni) and I read that was normal. That color change was due to ""debris"" and the cups cleaned them out. From my experience, the peppeoni went away in a few days. I used the cups for 7 days and my son's cough was less and less. After 10 days I no longer need the cups. I am sure I will use it again next time he get sick.

The cups does not suck well on elbow joints, knee joints, legs, or ankles. And I do not find much use of the small size cups yet. I read that they are for face, or for babies, and I have been using the big and medium size cups. So far I only use them on the back and only need 5-6 cups, and got good results, and I am happy with them. Also after applying the cup, don't move, or they will fall out. My experience is that you definite need a second person to hold the cup and angle the gun right on top of the cup to suck. After you remove the cup, the skin may feel itchy so have some cream, lotion, or massage oil ready to rub a little bit to make you feel more comfortable.

I dropped the cups a few times on hardwood floor from about 2-3 feet high and luckily they did not break. But it is hard plastic so there is a chance it will break if you drop it on very hard surfaces.


My bald friend once asked me the question, “How do you shave your head?”  I often wondered how others do as well. Some people use razor blades and shaving cream for the closest and smoothest shave possible. I unfortunately can/should not use a blade so electric was the right thing for me.  I struggled with bald clippers for a year or two that hurt and cut my head if nicked at the wrong angle. It was never a close shave either. I tried using my face shaver on my head and that got a close shave and was convenient with cleanup but it burned my head BAD leaving burn streaks and giving me the worst pain with taking a shower right after.  My head would be burning and itching for days leaving me with an awful and uncomfortable feeling.

(Head) So I did some research and voila! I stumbled upon The Bald Eagle!  I read a bunch of reviews and had to go for it.  After the first use my mouth dropped. This thing is INCREDIBLE.  It is a nice smooth, close shave that does not hurt, does not burn and incredibly, does not leave hair clippings anywhere on your head or body.  You can shave your head and not even have to hop in the shower to clean up!  After using it for a month, the shave gets better and closer as I use it.

(Face & Neck) Since I was a teenager, I’m 30 now, I’ve struggled with Pseudofolliculitis Barbae which consists of hair being shaved on my neck, causing the sensitive skin to be irritated which results in hairs curling into my neck creating bumps. I’ve used blades with sensitive gel recommended by doctors but that did nothing and still had this problem. I used my face shaver which, once again, burned and irritated my neck. I've struggled with this for years. Since trying The Bald Eagle on my face and neck, it has been a dream come true.  My neck does not hurt or burn and I have very minimal bumps a couple of days after use.  Such an incredible device that has changed my life forever.

To clean it is simple by putting it into a warm bowl of water right after use and turning it on for 5 seconds.  All of the hair clipping are released and your shaver is clean.  Amazing. Nice comfortable design with an incredibly long battery life! I now enjoy shaving my head knowing that it will be a close shave and it will not hurt upon completion.

I just wanted those who struggle with finding the best and quickest way to shave their head that there is an incredible device out there that smokes the competition.


This is the real deal. Authentic wild harvested sea moss as described by Dr Sebi. It is golden in color (not pale), the stems were thin (not thick), it smelled like the ocean (not chlorine), had no salt on them was completely dry (not moist) when received, and was crunchy but not brittle when squeezed and stretched.

I used the soaked method to keep it raw as I’m not a fan of the boil method. Heating sea moss unless adding it to meals is counter productive to me. It started coming right back to life during the first rinse. After you’ve rinsed the sea moss in running water, soak it in spring/distilled water this rinse it in running water again, soak it in spring/distilled water for 24-72 hrs in covered glass bowl or jar. Blend it in the same water it soaked in for the 24+ hrs to maintain the minerals released into the water by the sea moss. It gels great.

The 16oz bag yields four to five batches that went into 9x9 glass baking container with a top. I cut it into 16 pieces with one piece as one serving. It lasts my family a week and is a great deal for $35 every 5weeks. It delivers fast. The ad for the  8oz says it comes from St Lucia but the 16oz bag says it comes from Jamaica. Both locations are great to harvest sea moss.

Please keep this great quality Red Kitchen Sink and you will always have a customer in us.

I bought another brand called Mr Seamoss, in case Red’s Kitchen Sink wasn’t the real deal, and it was horrible. First it comes from Vietnam and not the Caribbean, even though he says he’s from Trinidad. It yields no way near as much a Red’s Kitchen Sink as comes moist (not dry), full of sand, salt and debris. The debris was pieces of plastic and a long strand of hair. It looks like it’s starting to mold with very dark soft spots akin to mold. He has no social media that I could find to comment directly on his product which is suspicious too. We will use it as a topical only since he charges $15 in shipping we won’t get back plus we’d have to pay to return it to him. I’m not trying to down the brother but his business is not up to par and should not be supported until it meets the quality standards set by Dr Sebi and the rest of the sea moss community.


If you’ve done any amount of research on BCAAs, then you know they are great for increasing your fitness level whether you are wanting to build muscle, cut fat and/or increase endurance. BCAA stands for Branch Chain Amino Acids are known throughout the fitness world as the “building blocks” of the body.

BCAAs can be beneficial to any fitness program. They make up a large portion of muscle mass and are important to any supplement program. Basically, there are 8 amino acids that are considered essential, meaning your body cannot manufacture them and you must get them in your diet. The rest of the amino acids are non-essential, meaning that your body can make them with proper diet.

This particular product has Leucine 3,000mg, Isoleucine 1500mg and Valine 1500mg in each scoop. This is the recommended 2:1:1 ratio of BCAAS. The bottle provides 40 of these servings. One thing about powder amino acids is they don’t taste very good but you can always mix it with something if you don’t like the taste. I’ve taken the pill form of BCAAs for years and it’s quite a bit of pills to take. For example, you would have to take roughly 2 servings of the pill form to equal one scoop of NutraFx BCAAs which makes this a very good product for those who don’t like to take pills.

This product also came with an awesome shaker cup! It’s probably the best one I’ve ever had. It has a cone inside to help break up the protein and a container that screws into the bottom where you can store an extra serving of protein or to put extra supplements in. Pretty sturdy build also.

There are a lot of different ways to take BCAAs, but the preferred method for powders are during a workout. My supplement stack consists of a pre-workout consisting of Creatine, an energy blend that has caffeine, a “pump” blend that has various versions of L-Arginine and vitamins. During workout, I take BCAAs and if I’m using a powder, I sip it during the workout. Post workout is always followed by a protein shake of at least 25 grams of protein with 3-5 more grams of Creatine. I always try to eat a high protein snack within an hour or so of training.

Add a good BCAA product like this one to your supplements and you will be able to do more work in the gym and build muscle faster than ever. I received a reduced price for this product in exchange for an honest review. As always, if you have any questions about this product or training in general feel free to ask!


I have a new Toyota Tundra TRD, that I purchased in May, 2021. It is now August. I have been taking it to a state-of-the art touchless car wash to be sure that I don't get swirl marks from dirty cloth car washes. I just used the product the day before yesterday. The directions state that I don't need to wash the vehicle. I trust only in my own judgement on that one. I don't want to grind in road debris with my towel. I went to the car wash, sprayed tar and bug remover on the front of the vehicle as always, pulled in, had the pre rinse, then had the foam soak, power wash and rinse, let their power drier blow it off, drove home and began applying the wax. My garage is a side facing garage, that I make a 90 degree turn into. I parked in the morning shade of it, while the temperature was cool. I sprayed Fukken wax on, one panel at a time. I lightly spread it around with the nappy side of the cloth then let it dry to a haze. I went on to the next panel and repeated those two steps as the first panel was drying. I flipped my cloth over to the micro fiber side and polished the first panel. I had a nice shine. Then I polished the second panel with the micro fiber side. When I completed the vehicle, there was still a bit of tar and bug type debris stuck to the front area of the truck. This was expected because the truck had never been waxed. I sprayed more wax on and lightly spread it around. I let it soak for three minutes. Then I polished it off, using a bit of elbow grease with the micro fiber side. It removed most of the persistent debris. I used the side of the cloth that was soaked with the wax and gave it more elbow grease. The debris came off. I let it dry to a haze. I polished it with the micro fiber side of the towel. I let everything stand for about fifteen minutes. Then I pulled out a clean towel and buffed the entire truck to a brilliant shine. I followed up and did the windows. This product works by following the directions, regarding application, and following up with a final buffing with a clean towel, using the micro fiber side. Remember, when you first spray it on, shake it up and just lightly spread it around so that it can soak in and lift remaining dirt or grime. Then let it dry to a haze. Then polish with the clean side of your towel or with a fresh micro fiber towel. Let it stand for a while. Then polish the whole vehicle with a clean micro fiber towel. You will be pleased with the results. I have never used Fukken wax before and it works very well.


But get the website version because THIS PRODUCT IS DA SHIZNIT!  I was taking the product tonylgue and cheek with no set daily amount just a oh I forgot and I'd take 2 pills. Anyway, after about a month of taking 2 pills randomly I noticed that I have no more hot &cold sensitivity which I was about to go-to the dentist to have my tooth pulled. Plus, on the other side of my jaw's upper molars were getting really, really sensitive to my horrible ice chewing & sunflower seed habits--HOWEVER after taking this product (of course the product I took a picture of and attached to this review) my tooth pain and sensitivity is gone! Also, I've been cleaning my teeth with the metal dental scrapping hooked pick tool and my gums don't bleed even after poking them with this tool.
I bought the "dentitox" product and nothing. It did seem to dissolve any food pieces that were still stuck in my teeth but other than that I'm sticking with Steel Bite Pro out of 37 Inverness Drive East, Ste 100, Englewood, CO

So thanks to Me first for listening to the infomercial that I never listen to, but the "ditch your dentist" comment from these folks was like, "yeah right whatever and die of rotten mouth, no thanks!" BUT IM HERE TO SAY THIS STUFF WORKS! Finally an actual product that does rebuild your teeth and strengthens weak sensitive teeth. Granted I have only had to pull 2 teeth now and I'm almost 50 so this product is a little late, but well worth ANY money spent on it and I would easily spend 100 bucks to get my hands on this product. I haven't seen or noticed any side effects either, of course I read directions and always take pills with food on, in or going in my stomach at the time I take these pills. Also, note I take a chewable multivitamin every morning with my 97 year young Uncle so YES, there is something to be said about taking a daily multivitamin and it's because I don't eat a piece of fruit everyday like we are supposed to which is why the daily multivitamin.  Oh, and I love Pepsi way, way too much which is apparently the worst thing (high fructose corn syrup) for our teeth and heart muscles or sumthin like dat!  Alllllrighty then, bite ya later!

Ehh, ehh did you see what I did with the ending... Ehh, bite you later... Steel "bite" pro ya later, yeah ok I know, I know... Shuuuut up already...


NAC, or N-Acetyl Cysteine is commonly used to treat acetaminophen overdose by binding to the acetaminophen molecules and preventing it from reacting with hepatic enzymes, which will damage liver.  In addition, it can be used to prevent cancer due to its antioxidant GSH or treat collapsed lungs caused by mucus blockage.  There are more benefits that NAC has to offer, so if you want to know whether or not it is a good fit for you, I think you would want to read the information on Wikipedia or WebMD.
I got acetaminophen overdosed 2 months ago due to the migraine, which lasted for three days.  It was a painful experience that I would never want to go through again.  I definitely will always remind myself to eat before taking the medicine and follow the direction.  I took the NAC for about a month and I did notice some improvement and the pain intensity started to diminish.  I did feel like vomiting sometimes, but I don’t know whether it is the acetaminophen or the side of effect of NAC.  Still, I am glad that I received this bottle for free to do the product evaluation.  I made a list of pros and cons while taking the NAC, and I hope everything I mentioned below will be helpful for your purchase decision.
Pros:
- The NAC product is made by a company that strictly follows FDA and cGMP (current Good Manufacture Produce), which ensures that the products are safe, pure, and effective.  I personally would not use anything that has no FDA or cGMP label on the package.
- It is organic.  According to the seller’s answer to one of the question posted on Amazon, synthetic NAC will be really expensive
- NAC can be taken with or without food.  Sometimes I find it is very inconvenient that I must eat before I can take pill, especially when I am in a hurry.
- Good price for 6-month supply, and it only requires you to take one pill a day (180 capsules total)
Cons:
- The smell is horrible.  There wasn’t a day that I didn’t want to throw up when I tried to swallow it, but I understand that is how it is supposed to smell like.
- The capsule size is big and it is hard to swallow sometimes.
Overall, I think this is a good product that can be taken over a long period of time for different benefits.  Even though my symptoms for acetaminophen overdose already went away, I still continue to take it every day so that I have a steady supplement of antioxidant GSH and glutathione.  For a good price and an effective supplement like NAC, I would recommend it to other people.


First off, I need to say that I am a very proud supporter of my man BERNIE.  I am from a small town in northern Illinois, and have always been used to people being open minded, and for the most part, on the liberal end of the political spectrum.  I moved down to southwestern Missouri about 6 years ago, and am still not used to the change of mind-set of most of the people down here.  It blows my mind how closed-minded and stuck in the past some people are.  Now, I can't judge anyone for who they are voting for, because well, especially being a Bernie supporter, that's kind of hypocritical of what he believes in.  The freedom for people to choose.  Now, when I first received this shirt in the mail, I was SO PUMPED.  I put it on pretty much right away, and when I was about to leave for work, my boyfriend stopped me and asked me if I was sure I wanted to wear this shirt in to work.  (Like I said, I live in a overall conservative part of the world, bible belt country, and a lot of my upper management would not approve!) Well, needless to say, I responded to my boyfriend with "I absolutely want to wear this shirt to work"... All of my co-workers are aware of my views and opinions, as many of us have had debates, (while a few are on my side!) Anyway, This shirt is fantastic, I love showing off that I am a Bernie supporter, especially where I live.  It almost makes it even better to me.  I ordered the navy blue colored shirt with the NOT ME US logo.  Now, I read a review that said their shirt was made in china... I will say that my tag does not say China, but the Dominican Republic.  While that is a little unfortunate, since Bernie is a believer in USA made product, I do have to say that I'd rather buy from the DR than china!  But that's just my opinion.  I received this shirt at a discount in exchange for an honest review.  I do NOT give false-positive reviews.  I stay very open and honest about the products I review, and have reviewed everything from clothing, to kitchen gadgets, to vitamins and supplements.  Just because a company sells me something at a discount won't sway me into lying to people.  Overall, GET THIS SHIRT!!! FEEL THE BERN! bernie2016


All new tires come with a coating which has to be removed in order to allow you to use tire dressings to make the tire look blacker.  TUF SHINE is great at cleaning off these silicone coatings and leaving a clean surface to be "dressed".  You need to also buy the Tuf Shine Brush which works perfectly with the cleaner - buy them together.  To use simply spray on a dry tire , let it dwell 30 seconds and then start brushing with medium pressure working your way around the tire.  I start with about 12 sprays on the tire.  You notice a brown mess coming off the tire - spray it away with a hose and start again with a few less sprays of the product - brush vigorously and rinse.  Repeat four or five times per tire until the mixture become white throughout the brushing - this tells you that you got the gunk off.  Make sure to also rinse the brush when you rinse the tire to avoid putting the crap back onto the face of the tire.  You only need to clean the sidewalls and just part of the first tread block - not all of the treads.  To make sure you have enough product to get around all wheels I would apply and rinse each tire 3 times then move on, then go back to the first tire and treat it again...this way you make sure that you have enough product to do 4 to 5 applications to each tire.  Go ahead and use the product up as it having a little left over does you no good.  Then use a good dressing to make your tire blacker and glossier - I like CarPro Perl, easy to apply, not too greasy, and no slinging of product to your paint when you drive your car - some of the greasier products may do this.  Perl is applied with a cheap foam wax applicator - throw them away when you're done.  Two coats of Perl leaves a darker and glossier looking tire and will protect the tire from the suns rays and keep it from turning brown.  You can then maintain once a month by spraying the tires with a very light dish soap solution in a spray bottle, scrubbing lightly with a softer brush, and then rinsing.  Re-apply  two coats of Perl again.  Also, make sure to review Sonax Wheel Cleaner Full Effect which will clean away the iron build up on your brake rotors and calipers and rims.  This will not adversly affect Perl.  Use Sonax first on dry / cool rims and rotors, let turn red (tells you the brake dust has dissolved) then rinse well.  Wipe down rims and apply a good rim sealer - try Poor Boys Rim cleaner - cheap and it works well and lasts.  Then finish off by cleaning the tires and applying Perl.  Your "ride" will look great.  Bon Chance!


I bought this because I was tired of using my ghetto tupperware foot soaker which was always cold and too small. I have a slight toe issue, some missing cartilage on my large toe which causes it to swell whenever I walk for a long time (2+ hours), run, or play tennis. I needed a warm tub that keeps water warm and where I can salt a foot bath. For the price, this works pretty well.  Water never spills out of it.  There is an easy hole in the top front to be able to easily pour out water.  It feels solidly made and like it will last a long time, so far I have had it a few months and am happy with it. I would not say it is the best footbath, but for a middle price, you should be pretty happy with how it works. The Brookstone version of a foot salon is higher quality, but double the price, and this one is just fine. The biggest difference between the Brookstone one and this one is that the Brookstone one heats up a lot faster and better. However.. workarounds to save you about $50...

If the water is already hot, it will keep it warm for you. So just start out with hot water and you're golden. Water is still hot after an hour of use as long as heat setting is put on as soon as you put the hot water in.

If the water is cold and you are heating it.. it will take 40-50 mins to heat it up. Probably don't reuse the water and just start with hot, or if you really want to reuse then take some boiling water and carefully mix it into the cold water first to get it started.

Weird thing-- can't heat it without the bubbles or the vibrating setting (one or both have to be on).  Also, the 3 little attachments cause SUCH a rattle. If you just take those out, use vibration with heat mode, you're golden and you can barely hear it. You marginally may need to turn up the sound of a TV or game but not by much. I don't know why they made a place to hold the 3 attachment pieces if it was going to make it absurdly annoyingly loud.

I am not sure if the little spiky roller are any good, they don't really help me at all. Can't say those are massagers, just spiky things.  If I could change something, I would ask for the heat setting to be better and for the heat to be able to be on without the bubbles or vibration mode. All I really wanted was the heat setting. All in all, it does everything I need and is a great price so I say 5 stars.


[[VIDEOID:d4499f3e829a46b3dc199b53a3da79d0]] Design:  The design of this is perfect for self pleasure.  The silicone is soft, but firm enough to provide pleasure.  The amount of settings is the real kicker with this product.  You can utilize it with vibration, with the stroke mechanism, or as a combo.  Regardless, the user can pick and choose what is best for them.  The ribs on the inside are very satisfying, which definitely add to the whole package.  The only complaint is that the silicone is difficult to clean.  The sleeve is easy to remove once you twist off the top, however, there is a solid plastic insert that is integral to the sleeve itself to provide stability during the stroke mechanism.  This make is such that it is not possible to easily turn the sleeve inside out for cleaning, just a forewarning.

Pleasure:  This toy was quite enjoyable.  It was very intense when I originally recognized its capacity.  There are multiple different stroke settings and vibration settings as well as intensities, so you can dive into what feels best.  I was not expecting to have so much packed into one toy.  The battery life is actually quite good with this toy.  This toy is quite large and relatively heavy, so it is necessary to hold the toy or wedge it into a cushion to be able to utilize it properly.

Quality: Since I am just reviewing this after a couple uses, the quality of the material is solid and the toy seems to be built well for all of the different capabilities it has.  The sleeve material is well built and the solid plastic insert allows the toy to have more resiliency with the amount of strokes for a session!

Packaging:  The packaging for this toy is very discreet.  It comes shrink wrapped in a nice black box and is well packed such that it is delivered to the owner safely.  In the box, you receive the toy, an instruction manual, lube and a charging cable!

Value: For the listed $74.69, this toy is definitely on the higher end of most toys. However, there are many toys out there that do similar roles for the same price, but do not have any stroking nor vibration mechanisms.  As such, I believe this is a pretty high quality toy for the capacities it has, and is similarly priced to more stationary toys on the market.

Overall, this receives a Happytobehere 5 stars.


Ok so yea this doest
Come with instruction but ladies YouTube has SO many educational DIY videos. This stuff is amazing balls as long as you apply the product right. I seen some negative comments about it but I think it's because they didn't do their research and weren't applying the product correctly. The way I went about it was first making sure my eyelashes were super clean. I preferred to use the pink silicone so I got the glue it came with and glued the back of the silicone left it on for about 35 to 45 seconds making sure it became tacky so it stays on the eyelid during the procedure. Once I lined it close to the eye lid on both eyes I put glue on the silicone where the actual eyelashes get glued on and with my y-comb(bought separately) I brushed back the eyelashes.  After all eyelashes where glued back I proceeded with bottle A and used one of the green spoolies with the cotton on top to apply it. The way I learned that you apply it is is by not coving all the lashes with it completely but mostly by the root.  I left that on for about 13 min and then wiped it off with a Cotton swap from root to top. When I did that for each eye I got a clean cotton swap dipped it in jar c and wiped each eye from root to top. After I got jar B and applied it the same way as jar A on both eyes I let it sit for about 10 min and after 10 min i removed it from both eyes with clean cotton swabs from root to top
Then again with a new cotton swap I dipped in jar C and when went over them again from root to top. Once that was done I got a new cotton swap and
Dipped into jar D and proceeded
To removed the eyelashes from silicone pads by rubbing the cotton swap gently side to side until they lift. I used that same cotton swap to remove the actual silicone pad from the skin. When both pads are removed you will find that your lashes and eyelid have glue on them. I used coconut oil to remove the excess glue and one of the black mascara brush provided In the kit to brush the eyelashes out. The eyelashes may look partially clumped together but this is normal but make sure not to wet them within the first 24 hours but once you do wet them after that time the eyelashes will separate. As far as clean up I used the coconut oil
The clean the silicone pad and of course the cotton swaps and green spoolies where disposed of .  Attached is my final results


As a portable noise generator for taking on vacation or to put pretty much anywhere, this is a great little device. But it's not perfect. First, some background:

So, I use a noise generator to sleep every night. Right now, I have an older gen 4 iPad running a noise gen app (in the background with a full screen clock app in the foreground, since it's useful). This iPad is then plugged into a small sound system via the headphone jack so it sounds better then coming out the tiny iPad speakers.

I was eager to give the Renpho Noise Machine a go, since I know my current solution's days are numbered (the apps are starting to crash regularly and can't update anymore due to how old the device is, etc).

Hence the Renpho device. And it works fine. Up to a point.

The first thing I noticed is that while you can have a single color and adjust the brightness to whatever level you like which is good, if you turn on color cycling it jumps back to full brightness and you can't adjust the brightness in that mode. If you try to, it switches back to single color mode. So, that's a bummer as I like to have my glowy things always cycling through their colors, but don't want to have this thing searing my retinas every night.

The next issue I found is when trying to plug in my sound system to the headphone jack of the Renpho. The sound level coming out of the device is maybe 30-40% the volume of the iPad's headphone output. Even with the Renpho noise gen at max volume and the stereo at max volume (25 according to the stereo's display), it's not even half as loud as my iPad's headphone output at 100% and stereo at med volume (15 on the stereo's display, for reference). That's a non-trivial difference, and kinda makes it unusable for that specific use case. Granted it's a very specific use case most people won't care about, but still...

I could always use the built in speaker, but like all tiny speakers the sound is tinny and lacks the depth of a proper sound system. I really like to hear the boom of those thunderstorms, ya know?

I'm hopeful that at least the lighting issue can be fixed via a firmware update, but ideally both could, depending on how they implemented the headphone interface. So, if things change, I'll update the review to reflect it.

Note:

Updated to 4 stars since I was contacted by the makers saying they would take my critiques under advisement. So, that's a star just for response time. And if they actually release some kind of firmware update to fix any of my issues, that's star number 5...

Cheers,

I heard about this supplement on the Alex Jones show as a UK listener. I'm sceptical of American infomercials in general (sorry, US readers -- I just find them overly enthused) but have been supplementing for years for chronic fatigue and concentration issues, so I tried out a couple of trial packs of this. I'm now ordering a canister of it.

There is something in this that helps my symptoms somewhat, but I don't know what it is. I have tried most supplements out there, and prefer liquids, as capsules and powders don't tend to work for me. I have paid more in the past for superfood green powders. BTT is expensive, so if you don't like the sound of it, Source of Life Gold by Nature's Plus would be my recommendation -- it gave me a short-term energy boost and gave my skin a nice glow. I'm just throwing that out there, as SOLG and BTT are the only supplements I've tried that have given me an effect.

BTT comes in a granulated form that dissolves in water (sometimes it can clump slightly though when mixing, and bits will need a good stir). It is sweet enough to drink in water, but it also tastes good in orange juice.

In terms of the ingredients, I don't see a lot in BTT that you can't get from other supplements, but I do know the effect I get from it isn't placebo, as most multivitamins do nothing for me. I also know of the criticisms made of BTT in terms of trace metals -- I am not a doctor or a nutritionist, so I don't know enough to comment. I am very sceptical of claims made that trace amounts of substances such as arsenic are good or even necessary for health. I think that the manufacturer should back up claims of necessity with peer-reviewed evidence. Some of the feedback online does seem to be distributor hyperbole -- treat this as a good multivitamin/multimineral, and try to eliminate gluten from your diet if you're sensitive, but don't expect miracles.

For me personally, this is a multivitamin that has a pretty strong effect. I'll update my review in another month once I've gone through a full canister. In short, it's not miraculous, but it is pretty good. If you can try a trial pack or two (five sachets apiece) before splurging on a canister, I would try that beforehand.


200 hundred dollar of awesomeness. The bag is tuff and durable. This is my 7th purchase from this company and I haven't had any complaints. I bought this bag because it had the top flip clip thats can be used in my car. In my last picture I'm pointing it out. If you take that over your headrest and put the clip through the middle of the two bars, then tighten it will hold it perfectly against your seat.Perfect for traveling. I'd recommend also getting the bags as well. My set up is the main zip that lays flat has all my trauma gear. The second zip has my BP cuff, stethoscope, splints, wraps. The smaller zip were the velcro is perfect for storing gloves. The smaller molle zip has my pen lights, extra shears(2), and extra pads and rolls so I don't have to open the main compartment., also have my 2 of the folling pens, permanent markers, and note pads. The bags I call my fast bags, the blue one has all my burn gels, ice packs, and burn bandages. The yellow one is my ouch pouch basic first aid kit with Aspirin for hose headaches and MIs, also have band aids, wound cleaners, and glucose. The red bag has my cat tourniquets(3) ,Israeli bandages(2), bleed stop spray(1) and guazes(4), krinkle guaze(1), and chest seals (3). My green bag is all my airway, it has OPAs (6), NPAs(6), and has 02 tubing.  I DO NOT carry O2 with me but when in traveling I know that the EMS does carry so I also have a Non rebreather mask Regular O2 mask and nasal cannula.
****** Sone of the items I listed came from my other pack I have I do believe that was refill kit R. But from all my other purchases I have had all the following refill kits
Kit R,J,X,P,L,B, and this kit from this purchase. I only have my three bags one for the car, my household one. And now a tactical bag that's smaller and less a pain to carry. I hope this review helped someone make this purchase or inspired you to follow this company and find a fit for you. I would like to say that I am not affiliated with this company in any way only as a satisfied customer and the main reason I keep purchasing from them.


I first learned about the Bodybugg while looking at the Costco website.  I wondered what in the world it was and after I read a few reviews, I knew I wanted it! I read several reviews on the Costco website and tried to compare best as I could to the other GoWear Fit System by reading different internet reviews.

I think each item has as many positive as it does "doesn't work" reviews so I was confused which item to purchase so I decided to buy both.

Costco sent the Bodybugg in 2 days.  I'm still waiting on Amazon's GoWearFit product so I can only review this Bodybugg.  That said,the packaging was very simple to remove the device and the start up directions very straight-forward.  It took about 10 minutes for me to find the usb port, hint!  the black body snaps out of the arm band! And once I found the usb port, it took another hour or so to set up my profile.  The website was easy enough to navigate for set up and my Bodybugg worked fine.

It takes 3 hours to fully charge.  I love popping over to the computer and doing a quick synch to see where I am at the moment.  This whole process takes about 3 minutes.  I am able to record my food intake.  The caloric intake is limited in that it is divided into a 6 meals, so if I have had my 6 meals, but decide to have a glass of milk before bed, I have to go back in and edit my 6th meal to add that milk. This is a slight extra step beyond the weightwatcher's website, but not a dealbreaker.

I have only done one workout while wearing this and it was spinning.  I have read that the BB does not do a great job of tracking burned calories for cyclists, but I can't comment on that just yet.

There is a coaching session that comes with this item and my "coach" has been very diligent in trying to contact me to set up a time for us to have our 45 minute phone chat.  I think I'd like to wear this for another few days before I chat with her so as to get to figure it out best I can on my own and then ask questions about things I don't understand.

I have not had any skin irritations and it is not a bother at all under long-sleeved shirts.

I have only used this for two days so it's silly to comment on my 2 pound weight loss, but I am optimistic that this is going to be a wonderful tool to take away that emotional aspect to eating.  It really reduces weight-loss to a more clinical level of calories in vs. calories burned and I am hoping that will help me fight different cravings and binges!
Hope this helps!


I’m going to try to make this brief. I have struggled from chronic ill health for a long time. I won’t go into all the details here except to say I’ve tried many modalities, all kinds of supplements and herbs, and a great deal of mental, emotional and spiritual prescriptions. My recent epiphany is that the fundamental  component of my ill health and constitutional weakness is actually rooted in a long term deficiency of magnesium. I learned this by my own trial and error and by finding something that made a difference in such a big way on so many levels that I cannot deny its significance.

That “Something” is ReMag.
From the moment I started taking it my most dominant symptoms began to abate, my vital energy increased and I became more hopeful about the prospects of my health.

WE ARE ALL MAGNESIUM DEFICIENT - 80% of the population is!  Please do yourself a favor and make yourself available to Dr. Dean’s huge database of content. She is truly a Doctor who cares and offers straightforward solutions:
-Re-mineralize and strengthen the body.
-Then use that strength towards natural detoxification as you continue to build.

Her content offers the most direct GPS towards health that I have experienced, and as I’ve stated, I’ve tried many routes.  Her freely offered knowledge and support are the keys...and her products are the ignition. Tune into her radio show, subscribe to her emails and order and get started on ReMag.

Initially I only went to her site for information and was treating myself with various  self-directed forms of magnesium.  This convinced me of the efficacy of magnesium therapy. Because her information and approach was so solid and given so generously I decided I had to try ReMag to see for myself. Within a week I was so happy with the results that I added ReMyte and Re-Aline to my care. That was six weeks ago and now I am on her Total Body Reset (all products), excluding the protein powder (I don’t eat whey).

I don’t generally make reviews because I consider them a karmic responsibility and I wouldn’t want anyone to ever be harmed by something I encouraged.  But, I am so certain of the the necessity of:
-treating magnesium deficiency,
-realizing its universality as a problem, and
-the superiority of ReMag, as the first solution
...that I would suffer from Karmic selfishness if I were not to share.

We all deserve to feel the best we can and to realize that our bodies have the innate intelligence of the Divine for proper restoration and balance.  If we give our bodies the intended building blocks (minerals) to be strong resilient plants while here on our mother earth, we can contribute the best that we have to offer this life.

I am very grateful to Dr. Dean and her team for these products and their continuing support.

May we all be free from disease of body, mind and spirit.
Aloha!


So, this is my first use of Vitargo so I am not giving it 5 stars yet. I use it as a post-workout recovery supplement. Decided to give it a try after investigating the product from various sources such as Bodybuilding.com. The premise behind this product is that it is suppose to help rapidly restore the body's skeletal muscle glycogen levels that were depleted during vigorous exercise. Per the advertisement, it can also be used pre and intra workout but I find with a proper diet I can push hard in the weight room without it. I would rather use something like C4 or Jacked3D as a pre-workout. So what did I think?

I was a little concerned at first about bloating. After mixing it per the instructions and adding a scoop of BSN Clean Whey, this was a lot of liquid to consume (somewhere around 28 oz.) I am happy to report that my fear was unfounded and the claim of no bloating is true. I can also report that I did not experience any gas as reported by a few others. However, as with any other product, your results will most likely vary from mine. My body sucked it right in and my stomach fullness was gone in minutes. Almost all of it was pulled directly into my muscles and I experienced less post-workout fatigue immediately and the following day. So far I give it a thumbs up.

I found the product mixes well with water (I use a shaker cup). It does froth up which gives the appearance of there being more liquid than there actually is. If you follow the instructions, mixing should not be an issue. I use the tropical fruit flavor. The taste is tolerable which is a nice way of saying I would not drink it by choice but it is worth it for the benefits. This is of course personal preference and you might love or completely hate the flavor, texture, etc.. Stay Strong and Fight On.

Update 1: So...after about a month I can say I am sold on Vitargo and use it religiously three times a week post workout. All else being equal in my diet and workouts, I am seeing a noticeable improvement in my physique. They do recommend that you take a second serving after intense exercise of over 1.5 hours. I have not tried that yet but might as my recovery time has slowed down slightly. In the end, I think if you are serious into weight training and gaining muscularity you should consider adding this to your stack. If your goal is just to stay fit you could probably find better places to spend your money.


From [...]
"1900 - 1910 Invented and perfected the steel alkaline storage battery and made it a commercial success."

I wonder if the other reviewer even owed one of these rechargers. I have owned and used one for 6 months and I am buying another. Yes, some cells leak on recharging. As other writers have mentioned, the  batteries that leaked were Rayovacs. I also had new, never regenerated, Rayovacs leak in my equipment so I don't use them anymore. I have had no trouble with others so far. I also drastically cut down on my battery bill.

Originally, I did measure the battery voltage before and after regenerating. I have had batteries as low as 0.81 volts regenerate to 1.6 volts. Yes, that is higher than the 1.5 volts they measure when they are new but that is what my voltmeters read, They work fine. I use them in LED flashlights, portable CD players, and my grandson regenerates the same battery for his cheap MP3 player. He has been using the same battery for over a month. I have one set of three in an LED flashlight that I left on for a week. I regenerated them and they are back in the flashlight and still working after several weeks. NOTE: LED flashlights will not drain the batteries to zero as an standard bulb will. A standard flashlight bulb might kill the batteries. I don't know. I don't use standard bulbs any more.

Actually, any application that takes the battery voltage to almost zero such as an R/C car, a toy, or a standard flashlight bulb, may kill a battery permanently. My electronics and LED lights all shut down before the battery is fully drained so the batteries have a better chance of recovering.

If you are concerned about Alkaline battery leakage (read the Wikipedia entry on them to see what it looks like), cut a small piece of plastic wrap and line the regenerator chamber leaving just the contacts exposed. If a battery leaks, you can contain it and throw it out before it damages your unit.

Considering that the reviewer's first "Fact Check" was wrong, and that my experiences have been completely different than the reviewer's opinions, you might want to be skeptical.

Remember, a completely depleted (0.8 volts or less) battery may take 3 days to regenerate but my grandson has found that he can "top" his off overnight if it has had light use. Also, batteries, even new ones, can leak, it is wise to take precautions.


Since I was 17, I’ve been prone to getting frequent UTI’s. And yes, trust me, the doctors have given me the pamphlets on how they’re caused and how to prevent. Before you dismiss this review—
I wasn’t sexually active at the time, I’m a very hygienic person, and so help me Allah, if one more 65+ year old male doctor whispers all-knowingly  “you have to wipe front to back”— the depths of Mordor will hear my screams of frustration.

My story took a turn for the better with a doctor at a minute clinic where I worked. Lovely Linda- told me a story about her mother who had chronic UTIs up until the end of her life— where they had gotten so bad, the medical field had run out of effective/strong enough antibiotics for how intense these bacteria had gotten. She told me about taking a supplement called D-mannose- a simple sugar that helps coat the walls of the bladder to inhibit bacteria from sticking... and it was from that point on, where I started my once naive journey of exploring what would keep me healthy and away from unnecessary antibiotics that would over time leave me only with the gladiator bacteria I was ever so afraid of as the cause of my eventual demise.

I tried many different types of D-mannose supplements but ultimately found that this one has helped the most. I went from having at least 6-7 UTI’s a year- some so excruciating where I wouldn’t be able to make it the 20 minute drive to work without stopping multiple times, or one that was so bad in college where never since my Elmo-on-the-potty days had I lost control of my bladder as such in the dressing room right before a dance recital. I was 21.

And now? Nothing. No I’m serious.
I don’t take them everyday. Only 2-3 times a month, or sure I’ll make a point of taking them before/after I do end up having “relations with that woman” or even having a weekend to Vegas with my ladies guiltily knowing my rum-water ratio will be skewed (maybe someday I’ll learn).

Anyway, point is. These helped me get my life back. I have enough anxiety without having to worry if even the slightest mishap in my regimen will ruin my next few days or worse- the inability to cure my body when modern medicine can’t keep up with our increasingly longer life expectancies.

Best wishes,
Mai Thai in one hand, coffee in the other.


Went on Fitbit's website after receiving a "Charge" for my birthday. Decided that the "Aria" scale would be the perfect companion to track all of my progress. Through Fitbit's website there was a 6-8 week back order. Decided to shop Amazon.com and I was pleasantly surprised to see several sellers with the item I wanted in stock and about $25 cheaper than what Fitbit had it for. It was a no brainer.

The item arrived neatly and professionally packaged. Relatively easy to set up and I had it working and synced within 10 minutes or so of opening the package. I was really pleased and the product appeared to be well put together. After using the product for 3 days I went out of town for 5 days on business and came back, got on the scale and got a repeated error message. I spent 2 days trying to trouble shoot the issue using Fitbit's online forums and contacting customer support. Based on what I can see on the forums/community help page at Fitbit.com this is a fairly common error and there are many frustrated users. It seems that many, too many in my opinion, were experiencing this malfunction for a scale of this price.

After none of the online recommendations seemed to help, I contacted Fitbit's customer service folks who are located in Guatemala. While both representatives were extremely nice and very helpful in the end, English was a secondary language, and the delay in the phone lines did make it somewhat difficult to understand. The Fitbit representative stood by the product though. They told me it must be an internal hardware error and that if for any reason the seller through Amazon.com would not take it back (I don't know why they wouldn't) they would take the product back and ship me a new one, albeit, with a 6-8 week back order as mentioned previously.

I have requested a replacement and not a refund. I really want to use the Charge and the Aria together for maximum effectiveness, but after my own experiences and reading all the others with similar issues, I fear that this is not an anomaly and may be an inherent problem. I'm willing to give it one more try. Kudos to Fitbit for standing by their product regardless. Quality appearance and feel, but ultimately it was defective and I'm not alone. Two stars for now. Will update when new scale is received. I would say buyer beware at this time.


I bought one of these off of a co-worker this morning after he posted a picture of a can on social media last night. Something about the words "very strong stimulants" got my immediate and undivided attention. To be perfectly fair, my first experience with this was not exactly a fair one as I had drunk a Monster before coming into work. Something about ingesting 480mg of caffeine seemed like a great idea at the time. I'll try to do a timeline as best I can remember.

T-00:00 - I open Spike Shooter and take a sip. It actually tastes pretty good. I can't remember what it tastes like now because that feels like a lifetime ago but I remember it being pleasant.

T+00:30 - I definitely feel some jitters and the urge to talk more. Usually I'm a pretty succinct person but at this point I feel the need to pack conversation with additional words I usually deem unnecessary. I start using a manual surface grinder and notice that my rhythm and reflexes are much improved.

T+01:00 HOLY COW I'M TOTALLY GOING SO FAST I CAN GET ALL THE GRINDING DONE FOR TODAY AND THEN I CAN DO EVERYONE ELSE'S TOO. My left bicep is starting to crank up because of working the handle so fast but I ignore it. I get a notification I'm doing a tour for a bunch of high school students in half an hour.

T+01:30 Okay I'm here in the meeting room, ready to give a tour. There are twenty people in this room, the average number of hairs on their head is 3,562. Why is everyone else taking so long? I'm pretty sure if I stop moving I'm going to die. I'm gonna teach the SHIT out of these kids about everything.

T+01:40-05:00 - Who knows? I'm sure I acted perfectly normal and and in a calm and professional manner.

T+05:30 - Definitely crashing. Not sure if I'm going to throw up or shit my pants, maybe both. I've been sweating so much over the past few hours it smells like I took a swim in malt vinegar.

T+11:00 (now) - After almost falling asleep and crashing on the way home, I managed to convince myself to take a shower and stumble into bed. I'm physically exhausted but wide awake and know I probably won't be getting any sleep tonight.

10/10 will definitely try again.


Ok so as other commented, the suction cups did not stick. Plain and simple, suction cups generally never work on anything correctly. That was a given, I expected that. Don't get me wrong, if the suction cups worked it would probably be even better.
But, I was amazed at how powerful that pump was. Someone mentioned that if they put the connector part down by their feet the bubbles did not reach their back, or vise versa. So I tried it first coming from my feet. Yes the mat floats all over. But, the issue with the bubbles not reaching all the way through is the positioning of the connector, if the tube is pointed one way the bubbles will only go so far, but if moved a different way it will shoot bubbles all through the mat. It's all about the positioning. I then switched the mat to have the connector by my head. Same thing, if positioned differently the results are different. Although some people may not like that, I found it relaxing. I was able to manipulate the mat with me feet or back or knees to have the bubbles shoot out in one local area, or flowing perfectly through the entire mat. I have bad knees and bad back, and if I let the mat float up against my knees most the bubbles came full force out where my knees were. That felt great on them. I did the same to my back. This mat is all about positioning it correctly for what you want out of it.
As some said, the pump is loud. But, what pump isn't? If your in a hot tub, is that not loud? If your in a jet bathtub, is that not loud? I have a tiny bathroom, so of course it was decently loud. If it bothers you, put in some ear plugs or maybe some noise canceling head phones. Either way it was relaxing.
Now it's supposed to heat your water to help maintain the temperature. I can't say it did that. But it could have, I really don't know. My baths are already hot, and not to mention I have the window open (and it's 30 degrees out), so that could affect that part, I can't really say.
I did read someone say it smelled funny when it arrived. It's plastic, most every new thing that is plastic smells at first. But goes away.
When I bought the mat, I knew it wouldn't stick to the bottom, I knew that it had a pump which is going to make noise. But honestly, it was well worth it. It was relaxing, kind of fun just to manipulate it to bubble more in one spot than another. Made me feel great and relaxed. I would recommend it. Can't wait to take another bath and use it.


I wish I would have reviewed Godzilla Returns way back when I recieved that one. Now I have a chance to talk about both, sort of.
  This is a direct to Japan version of this movie, with no English track or titles. Fortunately there is an option for English subtitles. And for me, that's really enough. This is a well done movie and now that I look at it, one of the best from the Heisei Godzilla series. It has great elements of classic sci-fi as well as a very sincere feel, similar to the origional 1954 Gojira. The scientist father character is compelling with his duel wreckless and wise natures. He's a character who learns from his mistakes, and actually lives long enough to pass this wisdom to others. His is a great, tragic character arc. This is the first movie to use Godzilla's standard Heisei look, and I think it's pulled off quite well here. He's a slow, lumbering character, but the point is, it doesn't matter how slow he is or if you can spot him. Because you can't stop him! Te close ups of his face are fantastic. I really like the detail on the fleshy tongue. And Biolante is one of the great classic, tragic monsters. She's dangerious, deadly, devious, but has the trapped soul of a lovely girl.
  As for the DVD itelf, it's pretty basic. There are vew special fetures or options, but as this is the only official DVD release for this film, that automatically makes it the best. The video quality is somewhat lacking too, but nothing you're not used to if you grew up watching these movies on TV as a kid. But I can see this being somewhat of a dissapointment for many, as there is no English dub. Again, that's fine by me, but it is a little harder trying to watch this with friends who refuse to watch a movie with subtitles. But to be honest, the 80s/90s series had some pretty weak English voice talent, and hearing the origional actors is kind of nice. Also there's a bonus special feature at the end, after credits. It's about a 40 minute behind the scenes spot, that shows quite a bit of detail on making the film. This is a rare thing for 80s films in general, so it's kind of nice. Again, it's a little tough going with no English to stand on, but the behind the scenes visuals themselves are nice! I still with whatever studio holds the American distribution rights would hurry up and for this thing over already! Or better yt, give it to Classic Media so they can do what they did with the Godzilla movies they release!


NingXia Red is named after Wolfberry outsourced from NingXia province in China. It grows there plenty and not so expensive. It contains other berry juices and other fruit juices. And their claims are not evaluated by any regulatory authority. Also 6 to 7 essential oils are added to it.  Now regarding essential oils, Young living essentials oils are very expensive because there overhead cost is high and profit margin is very high more than 200%. There are equally and some even better 100% pure organic essential oils supplier in U.S.A. , U.K., Thialand and other countries and their essential oils are half the price or even less the Young living essential oils. Young living systematically brainwashing consumers in believing consumers about the magical benefits of their oils and as they say "if a lie repeated by 100 persons, people believe it".  Ask any professional or go to any other web sites of reputed supplier of 100% pure organic essential oils, first thing they will advise you is do not use neat - always dilute - recommendation 1.5% to 2% oil for message and 5% concentration and (under certain circumstances 10%). for tropical application and they warn and also knowledgeable people, do not take internally unless prescribed by professional. These essential oils are very complicated mixture of natural biochemicals so your body is also. Once you take essential oils internally for a long time, THE BIOCHEMICAL FUNCTIONS OF YOUR BODY GETS DEPENDENT ON IT. If you stop taking, your body's function will miss it and get crippled.  Now you go to Young living web site. They ask you to apply neat and ask you to take neat in a capsule 3 or 4 types a day.  This may help your body or may not but your body's biological function is getting dependent on it and the consumption of their oil will increase. They are systematically brainwashing consumers and looting them
Now Ningxia Red contains 5 to 6 essential oils- so you know what will happen if you take for a long time.  Better take fresh juices of all the berry's and fruits and drink it. Mix other vitamins or other ingredients(consult your doctor or pharmacist)if you wish. You save money as well as improve your health. Of course there would not be psychological benefits of repeated good, good, excellent , marvelous, magical hype repeated by producer and their distributors.
You should always consult medical professional if you ever want to consume essential oils internally for what so ever reason for a long time. My advice "trust Young Living with respect to everything but your money and health"


Review

As body builder and medical student, I understand the benefits of N- acetyl- L- Cysteine. Even though livers are able to regenerate, one should take the appropriate steps to protect it. My knowledge about vitamins and supplements are fairly detailed, Hence why I decided on ordering this product.

I'm always amazed at how people can throw out statements without any facts to back them up. Please don't listen to these people who are stating their 'opinions' that this has the same nutrition info as a snickers bar! It does not! Being a scientist and a bariatric patient I have to be very careful what I eat and the means to monitor intake properly. So when my surgeon told me I needed to increase my protein I immediately thought of the Tiger Milk Protein Rich Bars that I grew up with. I too was taken back by the claims that these are just candy bars, but don't be fooled by false statements. After doing the research I found that the reviewers who claimed this couldn't be further from the truth.

Snickers Bar: 2oz size: 271 Calories; 14g Fat; 5g Sat. Fat; 7mg Cholesterol; 140mg Sodium; 0mg Potassium; 35g Total Carbs; 1g Fiber; 29g Sugars; 4g Protein; 2% Vit. A; 0% Vit. C; 5% Calcium; 2% Iron

Where as a comparible King Size Tiger Milk Bar; approx. 2oz size: 220 Calories; 8g Fat; 3g Sat. Fat; 0mg Cholesterol; 95mg Sodium; 230mg Potassium; 28g Total Carbs; 2g Fiber; 21g Sugars; 9g Protein; 25% Vit. A; 15% Vit. C; 25% Calcium; 30% Iron.

True that the sugar for these bars is a bit high. However, it is still less than a candy bar and has almost half the fat, twice the fiber, and over twice the protein of the snikers bar. Not to mention it is considerably higher in potassium, vitamins A & C, Calcium, and Iron. HENCE IT IS A NUTRITION BAR. Also please take into account that the King Size version is more than I could or should eat. The actual 1.23oz original size is better formulated for nutrition (140 calories; 5g fat; 2g sat. fat; 60mg sodium; 140mg potassium; 18g carbs; 1g fiber; 14g sugars; 6g protein)which just further proves the point (not to mention that is the actual product we are reviewing here) that it is no where near the sugar and fat intake of a candy bar.

I hope my ranting has better informed those who are looking for a good tasting nutrition bar. Personally, I would recommend this to anyone who needs to get more protein in their diet ... and actually do.


I normally weigh between 222-224, and my brand new 'high accuracy' scale put me at around 292.  I thought my girlfriend was at about 135, but on the scale, she weighed in at around 200.  After I fat shamed her, which led to a screaming argument, our relationship ended and--as a result of the fight--we got kicked out of our apartment and fired from my job (there was a lot of throwing and breaking things and crying on both our parts, as well as incriminating video of the altercation that led to my termination).

After a few days of living on the streets, now without a job, girlfriend, or home, I came to a startling realization:  what if the scale had just been off?  Impossible, I thought.  It said it right there...high accuracy digital bathroom scale.  I definitely weigh almost 300 pounds, and I was dating a girl who had been lying to me all along by around 70 pounds!  I felt like such a fool to have been duped.  Yet, the doubt still kept creeping in...what if it was wrong?  There was only one way to know.

I went to a drugstore where they had a scale where you could test your height, weight, blood pressure, and all that stuff.  I got on the scale and waited....for what seemed like an eternity.  When the digital display finally stopped moving, it read:  223.  TWO TWENTY-THREE!  No, that can't be right.  After all, the scale I purchased said 'high accuracy.'  I mean, if it had just been called 'Ballpark Digital Bathroom Scale' or 'Drunk Guesstimate Digital Bathroom Scale,' I wouldn't have let it get to me.  It said High Accuracy.  Not just moderate accuracy.  HIGH Accuracy.

I went to another store....223.  Another:  224.  ANOTHER:.........223!  Holy Jesus, I've made a terrible mistake!

My girlfriend of 4 years still won't speak to me--too much damage had been done, and too many hurtful things were said that fateful day.  My landlord won't let me explain the situation to him.  My work heard all about the outburst and won't offer any sympathy.

If you want to lose everything you hold dear to you....go ahead.  Buy the scale.

....For real though, I got the scale and it was like 70 pounds off.  Doesn't matter what surface I set it on, batteries out and back in, etc.


Am amazed at how well this works for falling, and staying, asleep!  I bought it for me, frankly not expecting to like it nearly as much as I do.  I was really only looking for an eye mask that would stay put overnight, through tossing and turning, without shifting or feeling tight.  I was a bit worried about the pillow aspect of this product, but, desperate for a good night's sleep ( am in a certain amount of pain whenever I am lying down or sitting, the after-effect of multiple spinal fractures from a nasty car wreck years ago) I decided to order one.

What a great decision: this mask/pillow blocks out all light completely, and is so soft and gentle that it's immediately soothing.  I am now getting to sleep more quickly than I have in years, and wake with no neck pains or headache. I was a bit worried that the wrap-around-the-head styling would make it uncomfortable for use in bed with a pillow, thinking that it would probably tilt my neck too much by lifting my head off the pillow, but not a bit so.

This is simply a terrific product!  I've used many different brands and styles of eye masks over the last 5 years, but they either slide down on my face, baring my eyes, or slide up and off my head, when I turn over in bed.  The only way to keep the others on is to make the band(s) so tight that they are uncomfortable--but even then, they still shift around and some have even gotten caught in my hair.  This one stays put without any noticeable pressure on either my face, eyelids, or back of the skull.  Don't know how it works so well, but it works.  And talk about soft and cuddly!

Unexpected bonus: I live in the countryside, in a very quiet location, but if ambient noise in an issue for anyone, this design covers the ears so softly and totally that any such noise would fade away.  I had company in the guest rooms on the same floor as my mine over Christmas, and I didn't hear anything!  (Last year I heard various noises from these couples in the same guestrooms: low-volume TV chatter, one of their dogs coming and going, at least 2 people snoring, and various dressing/bathing sounds early in the morning.)
I am immediately ordering 2 more Wrap-a-Naps, to send to my husband and my brother, as gifts. They both travel worldwide, almost continually, and have the usual hotel-based issues with getting to sleep: too much light, too many strange pillows and varied mattresses, and noise of all sorts. They will love these!  (I am going to be quite popular. Thank you, Wrap-a-Nap!)


I received my Amazon.com order of three containers of Gundry MD Vital Reds.  The manufacture date (not to be confused with a "sell-by date") of all three containers indicated that the product was 196-days-old upon arrival.  This is more than half the 365-day shelf life of a typical consumable product.  Since I already planned to fully consume all of this product within less than 169 days (365 days of assumed freshness - 196 already aged upon arrival = 169 days of assumed freshness remaining), this excessive age upon arrival was not actually a problem for me.  I am mentioning it only as an objective observation.  The false advertising about product volume is mildly concerning.  Each container contains 3.984 ounces (not 4.0) = 112.95 grams of product.  The complementary "scoop" included inside each container measures 5.0 cubic centimeters (cc) dry = 5.0 milliliters (ml) dry = 1.0 teaspoon (tsp) dry = 4.26 grams (g) dry.  One "scoop" is falsely advertised as 3.765 grams, which would neatly equal 30 days of supply, if it were actually true (112.95 grams/container ÷ 3.765 grams/day = 30 days/container, as FALSELY advertised).  Assuming I use exactly one level "scoop" per day, I will truly get 26.51 (not 30) "scoops" (i.e., days) per container.  This is 3.49 "scoops" (i.e., days) less than the 30 "scoops" falsely advertised, but it is close enough for my needs.  With 26.51 days of product in each container • 3 containers, I will have enough product for 79.53 (not 90) days total.  90 days falsely advertised - 79.53 days of actual product = 10.47 days short of the falsely advertised amount.  Again, this 10.47-day shortage is acceptable by my very forgiving and tolerant standards.  Although the blatant fakery of product measurements is not necessarily a deal-breaker for me, it would be helpful if the product measurements advertised were to actually be congruent with reality.  At this very high (but well worth every penny) price-point, many other consumers might not be as forgiving as I am.  The product itself is worthy of five stars!  The obvious lack of truth-in-advertising regarding product measurements is worth removing one star.  Thus, I gave four stars overall.


So I only got this today but I'm going to share some things I've already noticed about my infected fish.

I have a 5.5 gallon tank with 7 fish. 3 guppies, 1 adult swordtail, and 3 juvinile swordtails. They are going to be moved to a 15 gallon tank this weekend hopefully with their trapdoor snail friend.

Just 3 days ago I noticed camallanus worms from my smallest guppy. He had been skittish more then usual but I thought that may be due to the juvinile swordtails being about his size and more active then as fry. I noticed the worms later in the evening and acted quick to do a water change and gravel vaccum of the tank as well as changing the filter. The sick guppy hadn't eaten anything for 3 days nor has he had bowel movements. Pretty soon 2 of my other fish showed worms, a medium guppy, and a juvenile swordtail. Luckily they were both still eating even by today.

So by following another review I did 5ml per gallon of medicine after disolving it in 1/2 cup of water. So about 25ml for my tank. Before adding the medicine, I did to a water change of about 50% to also vaccum up old feces so I can monitor the water condition before and after putting the medicine in. The two more infected fish who hadn't had bowel movements FINALY had some a few hours after I put the medication in. The worms are still visible but I can see some in the droppings as well meaning that they are being pushed along through the fish. The small guppy also has his appetite returning and is returning to swimming around the tank with his guppy friends. My juvinile is having more active bowel movements like before for a fry and is acting energetic again. Before I put the medicine in, I did remove my snail and put him in a seperate containment away from the fish and medicine so that he would be safe.

Make sure to remove your carbon filter when administering the medication or it'll all get sucked up into the filter. And remove any shrimp, crabs, or snails from the tank. Don't overdose the tank but also don't underdose. Thank you to the kind fellows who figured out the ratio as it seems to be working out in my tank.

If anything goes drastically wrong I may update this but it looks super promising!


We all know how important Biotin is however a lot of people don't consider all the factors that transport and implement it.

I can truly welcome this gives not just cardiovascular medical advantages, joint and Vision bolster additionally it fortifies your resistance and assists with mind and subjective wellbeing. I have seen an enormous change in the wake of taking this supplement for a few weeks.. My nails and hair are developing so quick and feel so much more grounded. I don't know whether I have seen a lot of a change with regards to my skin however I'm certain that after some time it will begin to give all that it states on the grounds that a companion of mine has been taking this supplement for six months now and she doesn't have anything yet great things to say and genuine results from it! Furnishing you with vitamin C, B3, B6, biotin, zinc and much a great deal more.. You take 3 cases a day and this arrives in a 30 day supply. I generally take my supplements including this one around 30 minutes 2 a hour before eating my morning feast. I haven't saw any awful symptoms at all from this item and that is stating a great deal since I have a tendency to be exceptionally delicate with regards to things I ingest or put topically on my skin. Things are progressing pretty well and I am exceptionally content with my request!

I truly cherish the fixings in this item. It assists with cardiovascular wellbeing, circulatory wellbeing, cerebrum and psychological wellbeing, safety upgrade, vision backing, and joint


I received these earplugs a few days ago. I wanted to give them each a try for a couple necessary occasions so I could leave a completely honest and open review. First, no, they do not cancel out 100% of all noises. However, for those who need to wake up in the morning to an alarm it’s quite appreciated that a SLIGHT amount of noise can still get thru. I mean, who wants to have the inability to hear EVERYTHING? What if the fire alarm goes off(GOD FORBID) and you can’t hear it due to your earplugs being TOO sound proof. Lol idk maybe it’s just me. Anyway! Due to the extreme generosity that this package contains(6 sets of plugs/4 diff styles), I decided to share with my Mother who is an avid user of earplugs due to my Fathers inhumane storing. She normally uses the plain ol, regular ol, orange foam-like ones. She tried the blue pair as well as a pair of silicone ones. She found them both to be much more comfortable than her usuals. She said she could not hear my fathers wailing, I mean storing. Yet, she could perfectly hear her alarm when it was time for her to wake up. My 5yr old daughter HAS to be involved in anything I do. She’s my little mini-me/side kick. So when she begged to try a pair herself, I allowed her to use a pair of the silicone ones during a baby bath to test out how successfully the plugs are at keeping water out of your ears when submerged(she is a fish and MUST dunk her head as much as possible). She didn’t budge when I was placing them into her ears. I even pushed firmly to ensure a solid form and fit into her ear. It didn’t cause her a bit of discomfort while I was inserting them nor while they were in place and she was splashing in the tub. They stayed in place despite her wild bath time. The floor was drenched but her ear canals were indeed as dry as a whistle. These plugs seem to have a definite use for many different occasions. I feel if fitted into your ear 100% as properly as possible, perhaps they could indeed be 100% noise proof. I also feel that depends on each individual person and the sound they’re attempting to mute. Overall though, for the insanely good price and crazy amount of different ear plugs they provided within this ONE package, you really can’t go wrong. They’re 100% worth the money and I plan on continuing use of them as do my family members. :) sorry for the novel.


tremendously fragrant and extremely thick/rich/stable tallow-based croap.  I consumed 3.05g of the soap in one session using a large 25mm Rein Dachs Silbespitz brush, for net cost 2.64% of net product for 1 lathering!  If lather can get much more costly per use, I doubt I've met it, and I've got a hard milled Creed Vetiver soap.  Hopefully less extravagant brushes do not burn through 3.05g/use and I'll try to curtail the burn rate...[UPDATE 02.05.2019; have used 4x w/ 'Reine Borste' (= small German 19.5mm boar brush) aiming for frugality.  Consumed in 4 sessions 1.09 grams (= $0.23 based on price paid), 1.51g (= $0.32), 1.80g (= $0.38), & 2.50g (= $0.53)...over five uses 8.7% of the net product was used, or roughly 57 sessions in the tub...wow!]

The oud fragrance has depth and amplitude and is for my nose to the muskier side of the oud spectrum; there's some black pepper and patchouli with strong arriving tones of oud, sandalwood, and amber.

This soap makes it a cinch to get rich stable lather.  Wetness is very good indeed; not world-beating, but still excellent.  Volume's not on par with some old English creams (especially the Vulfix) but those are loaded with the 'bad stuff' to make them do that trick, this stuff eschews stabilizers/parabens.  Also this WK does have lanolin, which usually sets me alight, and I could feel no signature lanolin tinge...poison's all about the dosage and all of that.

Slickness cannot compete Bourbonnaise but it is still quite slick indeed and slicker than pretty much any shaving cream with water.  And of course it is easy to use, so that's a huge plus.

Cushioning is spectacular.

Soap's absolutely loaded in heavy fats to produce richness and post-shave euphoria, and it delivers.  It does not make moisture that I feel 'within rather than upon me' as the Ziegen Bart, but the ease of use and high fragrance quotient will make up for that for many if not most.  Due to all the heavy fats it is simply not possible to have a poor face feel unless you've an allergic issue (fragrance oils, donkey milk, etc).

A happy coda; over an hour later, the powerful oud scent of the shaving soap can still be detected by my nose!


I recently moved to Alaska, and decided to get a sunrise-type alarm clock to make getting up on these dark mornings a little easier.  After researching several that are available, I decided to try this one because of the features available and the fact that I can change the bulb myself (I had read in reviews of other brands that the bulbs burn out quickly and then people have trouble getting it repaired).  I've had this alarm clock for a little more than a month, and while it's not perfect, it's very very nice.

Here's what I like about it: I like being able to set the brightness of the light, but it did take a little trial and error to figure out the best setting for me.  It's nice to be able to set so many features, like how loud the volume will be, which nature sound to wake up to, and to be able to have preset radio stations to choose from.  After some time, I got comfortable with how to change the settings (it did take a little practice, though), and I learned that you don't have to step through every option just to change the alarm time.  After choosing the alarm time, just hit the "mode" button 2 or 3 more times to get out of the "change settings" mode.  I also like how not only does the light gradually get brighter before your set alarm time, but the volume also starts quietly and gradually increases to the selected volume.

What I don't like (these are admittedly picky, but I feel they're worth mentioning):  I wish I had more options for how long before my alarm time the light begins getting brighter.  The only option is 15 minutes.  It seems sufficient, and isn't a big deal, but more options would be nice.  Also, I like having the screen illuminated all the time, but it seems that if you use the dimming feature when going to sleep, it will turn that screen off.  Since I don't usually have trouble falling asleep, I just don't use that feature so that the screen will stay illuminated.

After looking at the features that the other "sunrise" alarm clocks have, it seems like this one has the most features for the money.  I don't think I've had it long enough to know if I really feel more rested when I wake up, but regardless, it's so nice to wake up already used to the light and to wake up gradually rather than by the sudden beeping of an alarm clock.  I would recommend setting a backup alarm for the first little bit until you get used to the settings and being sure the alarm is actually turned on (watch for the little bell symbol).  It seems to be very reliable when I properly set it.


I love this voice-activated clock!  It's extremely easy to use, and lets me record daily or one-time reminders for absolutely everything (time to leave for an appointment, time to take medicine, time to turn off cooling fans after they've run for 30 minutes, etc.).  It speaks with a pleasing, polite female voice, and easily understands both male and female voice commands.  If there is moderate background noise, it may not understand some spoken commands, but muting the TV took care of this for me.

The clock is very easy to set up.  You insert batteries (to hold your custom settings during power outages); plug the clock in; and use the manual setup ONCE to set the month, day, and year.  After that, you simply say "Reminder assistant".  The clock will respond, "What can I do for you?", and wait for you to answer with one of the 12 standard commands (for example, "What time is it?", "What day is it?", "Record reminder", "Play reminder", "Set alarm", "Snooze").  If you can't remember a phrase, you say "Help", and the clock will explain all of the commands.  To perform any function, all you need to do is follow the clock's voice prompts.

You do have to use exact command phrases (which is why my clock is named "Jo", after the strict, do-it-by-the-book cop in the SyFy series "Eureka").  I would like to be able to record my own command phrases, but of course that would make the clock harder to set up, and would probably make it cost more, too.  You record reminder messages--anything that fits into six seconds--in your own voice, tell the clock the time for the reminder, and whether or not it is a one-time or recurring reminder.  At the assigned time, the clock plays your message, and repeats it until you say "Reminder off". Reminders apparently do not turn off until you issue a command--I tested one reminder for 10 minutes, and it did NOT turn off automatically.

The clock's big, blue, digital display is very bright, even when set to "dim".  All of the clock functions can be performed manually, using buttons on the clock back--but it is rarely necessary to use manual commands.  There is an on/off switch on the clock back that controls the daily alarm clock, which I have set to permanent "off", because I use the clock for short-term reminders, and to keep track of the day of the week (it's easy to forget the day, when you work from home).

For short-term reminders, I much prefer to use this clock instead of my Talking Timer ([[ASIN:B002VSZP18 Tel Timer Talking Countdown Timer]]), because the Talking Timer has a distracting vocal minute-by-minute countdown for the last ten minutes (useful for cooking), and is a single-event timer.  The iTalk Reminder Assistant Voice-Activated Clock allows you to record up to ten reminders, which run simultaneously, and it simply plays your recorded reminder when "Time's Up!" (without any countdown).


Not my first "real silk" sleep mask. In short: Light, breathable, not hot, blocks light, good adjustable fit, super silky, doesn't dehydrate skin, is gentle on skin- no rubbing, dragging. Cozy plush feel. Good stitching, nicely packaged.

I rate this primarily on my experience. I dont factor price in. Prices fluctuate, there are coupons, everyone has different budgets, preferences, and so on. You decide if it is worth it. This is actual silk and there is a price tag that goes with it. Not everyone wants a polyester dupe. Not everyone wants low level silk (that feels like polyester). If you have no preference, then there are some lovely low level momme silk options, as well as some nice polyester satin options for fraction of price. This is for those that want actual silk (RIP silkworms).  That being said, I have used a wide variety of eye masks of different materials and styles. Here is my take on this:

It feels light and lush. Very soft and silky. I am privvy to the look, feel, performance of various textiles including various silk levels. This is 25 momm and feels like it. I dont question that at all.

Silk is nice for any skin, but is particularly gentle on delicate skin or skin easily irritated. It is breathable, and it doesnt dehydrate already dry skin. I notice that my skin is less parched when I use silk versus low end polyester. That is material that is smashed up against my skin for 8 hours each night. I would prefer to not have material that is rough and drags against my skin. Same can be said for pillow cases and my hair. Though I do keep other styles at my bedside, I always come back to silk.  I happened to be in need of another real silk mask because I accidentally washed and dried my trusty silk mask and it shrunk significantly (note to self: hand wash, air dry.).

The fit is good for me. Generous size which is nice for my wide face and big nose. Plenty of elastic and the adjustment option allows it to be as loose or snug as I desire. I find that it blocks light from every angle. I normally dont mind a little light to seep through so long as I dont notice while my eyes are closed. But this blocks it all out for me. I had to lift an edge to see if the tv was still on (my hubs will watch tv in bed with sound off/captions on). I couldnt tell. Come morning, I pushed the mask up a little so as not to accidentally sleep all day.

Not hot. Some masks really trap heat. This is breathable. Again, function of the material used. Of course any material can block light. So it comes down to your needs and preferences.

Nicely packaged

At time of review, this was $35 with 30% coupon. While I dont rate on price (except for in the rate features section, which I give 3 stars), I will comment that $35 is the ceiling for nearly all 22-25 momme silk eye masks. If you can get it in the 20 something range, then that is reasonable.
