Freewise 5 Port USB Charger

I have been using the 5 port USB charger by Freewise these past few weeks. It is so convenient! I had been having trouble with needing to charge multiple items at once and now my problem is solved! It is easy to use and doesn't take up too much room. I currently have my laptop, phone, tablet and bedside lamp plugged in and still have one port open if I need it. I would recommend this charger to anyone.

Nutrivee Advanced Prebiotics and Probiotics

I have been taking Nutrivee's probiotic and prebiotic together for the past few weeks. I haven't really noticed any differences in how I feel, however that is not necessarily a bad thing.
Some probiotics I have taken in the past have made me sick so I am very happy I feel fine taking these.
The probiotics are in a tablet form, delayed release so it travels down to your lower intestine without being destroyed by stomach acid. The prebiotics are in a tiny vegetarian capsule and help to make "food" for the good bacteria to eat so they can colonize your gut more readily.

I have been pleased with taking these products and would recommend them, especially taken together. I received this product at a discount in exchange for an honest unbiased review. #nutrivee

Shadibody Hand Grip Strengthener Set

I have been happy with my Shadibody hand grip strengthener set.
It is good quality and easy to use. The wrist straps are an added bonus. I like how convenient the grip is to use and small enough to store away. I usually use it when I am taking a break from work or while watching a show or youtube video.
I hope to see more improvement in my grip strength as in the past few years I've felt it decline a bit.

Baflan Kitchen Food Scale (or for Postal Shipping!)

I have only been able to use this scale a few times before it stopped working correctly. I hope in the future to be able to exchange the product I received and revise my review.

The Baflan kitchen scale has a sleek modern look that I really like. I was excited to receive the scale and used it a few times for shipping purposes. It easily weighed my packages and I was happy.

Then the "unst" and "out2" messages started coming up on the display. At first one or the other would come up, but then go back to 000 and I was still able to use the scale. After using it a few times more it will now only show the "unst" or "out2" messages and not go back to 000 to be able to weigh something at all.

When using the scale it is on a flat surface and nothing is on the scale so there is no reason these messages should come up on the screen.

So at first I liked the scale very much. When the unit is working correctly it is great. It has a nice slim form factor, attractive design and is easy to use. I hope to be able to exchange this product and update when I receive a properly functioning product.

Moody Zook Activated Charcoal

I have recently been trying out another brand of activated charcoal. Moody Zook Activated Charcoal. Moody Zook? what a fun name!

I was interested in this activated bamboo charcoal powder particularly because it has sage added to it. I love sage, and the scent as well, so I was a bit disappointed that this is pretty much scent/tasteless the sage was not detectable to me.

The Moody Zook Activated Charcoal Powder comes convenient plastic container that can last a very long time depending on how you're using it. If you are using it primarily for teeth detox/whitening it will last a VERY long time. Do note it charcoal powder can be a bit messy and stain, so it's best to use a very small amount at a time. I like using a 1/4 teaspoon to scoop mine out.

Sagano Activated Charcoal Powder

Activated charcoal has so many uses. I have used mine for a gentle teeth whitener, a facial mask, & body scrub. Internally it's great for upset stomach & digestion issues. You can add some to a bit of water and drink it (pretty much tasteless) or put some powder into some capsules and swallow them.

The Sagano Activated Charcoal Powder comes in a large 1lb bag that can last a very long time depending on how you're using it. If you are using it primarily for teeth detox/whitening it will last a VERY long time. It has a zip seal closure to keep the powder fresh and from spilling out. Do note it charcoal powder can be a bit messy and stain, so it's best to use a very small amount at a time.

I like using a 1/4 teaspoon to scoop mine out. It can also be helpful to transfer to a smaller container, like a 1 or 2 oz jar and reseal and stow the bag away until you need to refill.

Icosa Living Eco- Smart Glass Straws Set

I love this glass straws set!

I had been gifted a glass straw years ago and only used it a few times. It was too difficult to keep clean, so it got lost somewhere in the bottom of the silverware drawer. Now years later I had the chance to try glass straws again, and this time it comes in a cute kit AND with a straw cleaner! Yes! I can finally use glass straws and feel confident that I am able to get them totally cleaned out. The Eco-Smart Glass Straws Set comes with 6 clear 9" glass straws, and a cleaner brush, all packaged in a nice black gift box. These really are eco-friendly as all the product & packaging is recyclable. The box is made of nice sturdy cardboard. The glass straws themselves are nice quality with no air bubbles and for the most part uniform shape around the lip of the straw.

The box this set comes in is very nice, with a slot for each straw and brush to sit in. The box is not the most convenient for long term storage though, it is certainly possible, but I find it a little difficult to get the straws in and out of the slots. I really wish this kit came with a cardboard or bamboo box where you could just sit/lay the straws with out the slots. However, that is just a suggestion to make the product even better. Having some other sizes of straws in the kit might be nice too.

This straw set is a great buy for yourself, or to give as a gift. It's a gift that lasts a lifetime, and anyone who likes to drink from straws would appreciate it.

Also wanted to note, that these are thick sturdy glass straws and I would even feel comfortable letting children use them.

Lift Care Vitamin C Serum Review

I have been using the Lift Care Super C vitamin c serum for about a week. It has nice natural ingredients and I love the scent. (the scent is a blend of vanilla, citrus, lavender, sandalwood, rose, & jasmine essential oils)

The first few days using this serum I used too much of it and I experienced a small breakout above my lip. I then started using a smaller amount (about 3 drops) and have had no issues since. I feel like this serum brightens and moisturizes my skin and I have not even needed to use any other moisturizer with it. (although this could be different in dry winter months, that is yet to be seen)

I also think that the fact that this serum contains 3 different types of vitamin c does make a difference. I was using a 20% vit c serum previously with only one form of vitamin c and I did not experience any real difference in my skin. I have only been using this product a short time and already am noticing my skin looking brighter. I have now made Lift Care's Vitamin C serum part of my daily skincare routine.

Organic 101 Cedarwood Spice Deodorant

Organic 101 Cedarwood Spice Deodorant
I just got the chance to try out a new deodorant that I am pretty stoked about!
It's by Organic 101 and in the Cedarwood Spice scent.

It has a light yummy spice scent that reminds me a bit of chai tea.
The product goes on easily and you don't need to use a lot for it to be effective.
I love the consistency, not sticky or tacky, and doesn't melt in 90 degree weather.
The product is a little on the heavy side so it might not be your first choice to toss in your bag or for travel.

I am someone who is really sensitive to deodorants.
I only use natural deodorants, and most of them break me out due to baking soda or too much essential oils, etc.
I can't say how pleased and surprised I am to be able to use this deodorant, have it work really well & not get a rash from it.
I really appreciate that this deodorant is certified organic as it is very important to me that the products I use have quality healthy ingredients.

I love this deodorant and would purchase in the future. I hope to see other scents and maybe a smaller travel size available.
I do find the $15 price to be a little high, but you do get a lot of product for the price.

I received this product at a discount in exchange for an honest unbiased review.  I am so grateful to have discovered this product. I highly recommend it to others, and especially those with sensitive skin.

Please note that this product is not suitable for vegans as it does contain beeswax*

VItaPura Tea Infusers Set of 2

VitaPura Tea Infusers set of 2

These are lovely tea infusers! I love that they come in a set of 2. My mum also consumes a lot of tea so I was able to gift one to her.

 The infusers are made from quality stainless steel. The strainer holes are very small and uniform so none of your loose tea gets into your tea cup. The lid easily clicks on and off and stays sealed whilst submerged in the water. There is also a convenient chain with hook to attach around the lip of your tea cup for easy infuser insertion & removal.

 The VitaPura tea infusers suit my needs perfectly, and are of good quality. I have a handful of different tea strainers and these are in my top few favorites and get a lot of use.

 The only thing I would note as that these infusers are on the smaller size so if you are making a larger amount of tea or using jasmine pearls for example (they expand a lot), it might be a tight fit for those uses. All in all I am very pleased that I discovered this product and do recommend it to others.

I did receive this item at a discount in exchange for an honest unbiased review. I value reading opinions to help me decide in my own purchases and will only write reviews that are honest and hopefully help someone else. Thank You.
