IceCubby Large Ice Storage Holder By Pratico Kitchen Review

We make our own ice at home using an ice mold because first, a 7 lb. bag ice doesn't have a space on our freezer and second, we don't have a refrigerator which dispenses ice cubes. One thing I noticed was that sometimes, the ice would taste weird because it would take up the odor of something in our freezer. When I received the Pratico Kitchen IceCubby, I looked forward to trying this because this has a cover which will help keep our ice from absorbing certain odors from our freezer.

The Pratico Kitchen IceCubby arrived in a neat packaging. It has a lavender cover and a white, opaque base. Here is a quick product description from the company:

✔ STORE LARGE ICE SPHERES OR CUBES - Holds up to 4 - 2.5 in ice spheres or 4 - 2.25 in ice cubes - works with ice made from popular brands of ice sphere molds and trays (like the Praticube Ice Tray)
✔ QUICK & EASY ACCESS TO ICE - No need to fumble around with ice cube trays and molds to get to your ice, just grab a sphere or cube from the Cubby when you want it
✔ PREVENT UNWANTED FREEZER ODORS - East to remove cover lid keeps unwanted odors and smells from being asorbed into your large ice spheres and cubes
✔ DISHWASHER SAFE & PRACTICAL SHAPE - IceCubby is easy to clean, maintains the sphere shape of ice, and fits most freezers at 10.0 x 3.8 x 3.5 inches in size

The IceCubby looks durable and the plastic used is sturdy.

Ts can store 4-2.5 ice spheres or 4-2.25 inch ice cubes. For me, I also like using it to store smaller ice cubes and I like how it keeps the ice cubes frozen and tasting fresh. It helps keep the ice cubes in absorbing fish-y or other odors in our freezer.

This is easy to clean and I like that we always have spare ice cubes in the freezer. Now, we never run out of ice cubes because we know that it's time to pop out and make new ice cubes when the IceCubby is empty.

Organic Home Pest Control Spray From Eco Defense Review

Recently, I've noticed an increased number of roaches in our kitchen specially early in the morning. I would often kill them with a paper towel but still, my goal is to first try to lessen their numbers and in time, eradicate all of them. I am not at ease to use the popular roach killers in store which are toxic because I have 2 girls who are 4 and 7. When I received the Home Pest Control Spray from Eco Defense, I looked forward to trying it because it's all natural.

Here is a short product description from the company:

Organic All Natural Pest Control Spray

I received the Eco Defense Organic Home Pest Control Spray in a white plastic bottle. The spray cover is included separately.

The spray option has a stream, spray and off. I can change the spray option by rotating the small plastic on the tip of the sprayer.

When I started spraying this on the cracks between the wall and the cabinet, a few roaches started to come out of the cracks. I further sprayed the organic home pest control spray directly on them and then they crawled off to hide. The scent of this pest control spray is really nice, similar to lychees (I love lychees!) and doesn't have any chemical or toxic scent. After a few minutes, the scent completely disappears which is nice.

Fast forward a week later, I've noticed that the number of roaches I see in the morning have lessened, which in my conclusion is that this organic home pest spray works. I also tried spraying this around our door and window frame to keep other bugs like spiders out.

I love how I don't have to worry about this pest control spray being toxic and harmful since it's organic and all-natural. The scent is a plus and I like that it works as it should.

4 Pack Silicone Squeezable Bottles From Bocco Review

When we travel, I prefer to bring travel-sized products to save space in our bag and luggage. Yes, travel size products are more convenient to bring but compared to the full-sized products, they're more expensive. When I discovered the reusable silicone bottles, I loved them because they're the perfect size to bring when traveling as well as using them saves me money.

I was sent the Bocco 4 Pack Silicone Squeezable Bottles and I looked forward to trying it. Here is a quick product description from the company:

Bocco Squeezable Travel Bottles are designed to give you a peace of mind when traveling:

- Food Grade Squeezable Silicone - Soft yet durable silicone construction helps avoid wasting product, allowing you to get every last drop. Squeeze and release to get exactly how much you want without globs of excess oozing out.

- ID Window - Adjustable, labeled rim identifies product contents. Conveniently labeled Shampoo, Conditioner, Lotion, Soap, and Sunscreen. 3 blank labels for you to write product contents.

 The Bocco 4-Pack Silicon Squeezable Bottles arrived in a zippered plastic container. There were several sets available with different colors and I was able to choose the set I wanted. I chose the one with the colors blue, orange, green and purple.

Each silicone bottle has a 3 oz. capacity and each have a smooth, silicone, rubbery feel. The twist cover of each bottle seals the bottles effectively so that it's leak-proof.

 Each bottle also has a small suction cup at the back which effectively holds the bottles on tiled surfaces or mirrors. The suction cup doesn't hold the bottle for a long time but at least if I'm using it, I can just use the suction cup to keep it upright.

The opening of each bottle is designed to be leak-proof as well. It doesn't dispense liquid unless I squeeze the main body of the bottle. I love this feature because I don't have to worry about products like shampoo, toothpaste, conditioner, etc. to leak while the bottle is inverted.

I also like that these bottles came in a set of 4 because I am able to refill it with different products. They are reusable as well which is great because I am able to save money as well. I can just buy full-sized products and refill these bottles instead of buying the travel-size ones.

These silicone bottles are also durable and doesn't break easily. The silicone material makes the bottles a bit floppy when empty but when there's products inside, the bottle stand upright with no problems. I love these bottles and works as they should.

6 Pack Glass And Hard Surface Cleaner By Greenwald's Review

I often use a glass cleaner to clean our mirrors, windows and glass doors because they often get dirty with smudges and hand prints from my daughters' hands. When I received the Glass and Hard Surface Cleaner by Greenwald's, I looked forward to trying it.

The Glass and Hard Surface Cleaner by Greenwald's arrived in a pack of 6 concentrated soluble packets. It is available in a kit which includes the soluble packs and a plastic spray bottle as well as just the soluble packets by itself.

I was sent the pack of 6 soluble packets of the Greenwald's Glass and Hard Surface Cleaner. I have a spare 32. oz. reusable spray bottle at home so I was able to try this out when I received these soluble packs. The instructions were printed on the back label of the packs. It is clear and easy to follow. :)

1. Drop one packet into a 32 ounce spray bottle. Do not cut the packet, it completely dissolves.
2. Fill with warm water.
3. Let sit for 60 seconds.
4. Gently shake.
5. It's cleaning attack time.

The Greenwald's Glass and Hard Surface Cleaner has a very subtle, light chlorine-like scent which is nice because I don't like cleaners with a harsh scent. After following the instructions on how to prepare the Greenwald's Glass and Hard Surface Cleaner, I tested it out on our sliding door, mirrors and windows.

The Greenwald's Glass and Hard Surface Cleaner is effective in removing smudges and hand prints on our sliding door, mirrors and windows.

I like that I didn't see any streaking when I used the Greenwald's Glass and Hard Surface Cleaner.

One of the things I love about the Greenwald's Glass and Hard Surface Cleaner is that because they come in a small concentrated soluble pack, I can easily store them. They don't take up too much space which is important because we only live in an apartment and space is limited. Unlike prepared cleaners in a bottle which would take too much space, I can store the Greenwald's Glass and Hard Surface Cleaner in a safe drawer.

I also like how easy it is to prepare the Greenwald's Cleaner because it easily and quickly the soluble pack dissolves. There are no harsh chemical scents which can be harmful to my family and is an effective glass cleaner which doesn't leave any streaks.
