Comfy Commuter Travel Pillow Review

When I ride on the passenger seat of our car, I would always get car sickness after a while. Even when I was younger, I would need to close my eyes or sleep or I'll get car sickness. When I received the Comfy Commuter Travel Pillow, I looked forward to trying it. Before I head on over to my review, here is a quick product description from the company:

The pillow is perfect for travel and home - such as watching television, resting, meditating or reading.

  Positive review from Wall Street Journal article "Desperately Seeking Slumber" 

First of all, I like the color of this pillow. It has a baby pink/black color combination which is really pretty. I like how handy and ultralight this neck pillow is because it's easy to bring on the go. I usually have to keep my neck straight when I'm the passenger because I get car sick easily. Using the Comfy Commuter during long drives provided me with great head and neck support.

The neck pillow is very soft and smooth and comfortable to wear. It has an attached chin velcro strap to keep it in place. It also has a built in sack to squeeze the pillow in for easy carrying and storage. The pillow does not deform and just bounces back to its original shape and form.

I like how this also keeps my head from getting a stiff neck when I fell asleep during our long drive. It supported my neck properly and kept it from dropping down to one side when I fell asleep. Even my 7 year old daughter loves it. I am so excited and would definitely bring this on our 13 hour flight soon.

Sacko Reusable Tote Bag Review

I always bring one or two tote bags with me when we go on trips so that our things will be organized. When we go to the beach, I use a tote bag for our towels, sunscreen and beach toys. I also like to bring a tote bag when we go to the grocery store so that I can minimize the plastic bags I'll bring home. When I received the Sacko Reusable Tote Bag, I looked forward t trying it.

There are 3 available colors for the Sacko Tote Bag and I chose the red/black/gray colored one. Here is a quick product description from the company:

This tote bag has a zipper closure to keep contents inside the bag.

The inside of the Sacko Reusable Tote Bag is very spacious. The inner bottom board makes it easy for this bag to stand up by itself as well as prevent easy wear and tear of the bag.

It is lightweight and has a simple design which I really like. This tote bag is durable and I like that the stitches around the bag haven't started to break apart even when I've used this for a couple of times already.

I've used this to hold toys for my daughters when we go to the park, place about 10 children's books when we borrowed books from the library (some are hardbound) and used this for my grocery shopping, to name a few.

Large Insulated Lunch Bag With Shoulder Strap From Sacko Review

I bring hubby's food everyday and every Wednesday, he needs more snacks and food because he goes biking after work. When I received the Large Insulated Lunch Bag from Sacko, I knew this would be useful every Wednesday since this is much bigger compared to his lunch bag right now.

The Sacko Large Insulated Lunch Bag measures 12.25" in height, 10.25" in width and 8.75" in diameter. His current lunch bag is only half the height of this bag from Sacko so before, I had to place his snacks on a separate plastic bag.

Here is a quick product description from the company:

- Save Money by Packing your Lunch with the Sacko Insulated Lunch Bag.
- With Convenient Features and Contemporary Designs this Polyester Lunch Tote Bag is ideal for those on the go.
- It's got and Adjustable Shoulder Strap, Multiple Pockets and a Large Main Compartment area. It also Features
  an Elastic Rope on it's side to Hold Beverages and also includes a Side Handle.

The Sacko Large Insulated Lunch Bag has an elastic, adjustable rope on one side to hold drinks. It holds drinks properly when tightened but it would be nice if there's a support pouch at the bottom.

It also has a side carrying handle which helps me hold the bag in place.

The front has a zippered pocket perfect for condiments or smaller pouches of snacks as well as another pocket perfect for napkins.

The shoulder strap is adjustable up to approximately 35 inches in length.

The inside of the lunch bag has a white lining which according to the company is made of 600d Polyester Material. The zippered top opening flaps open which makes it easy to take out food and snacks.

The Sacko Large Insulated Lunch Bag is tall enough to accomodate a 24 oz. insulated bottle when I pack soup for hubby. Aside from that, this can hold hubby's 2 lunch boxes with a lot more space for snacks like pastry or bread.

This lunch bag is durable and perfect to use when we go on a short trip because it can hold snacks for my daughters. It keeps fruit cups cool and I like that I can fold it flat for easy storage.

TSA Approved Luggage Combination Lock From Alaska Bear Review

When traveling, I make sure to keep our luggage safe and secured. I make sure to use a sturdy and durable lock to make me more at ease. For me, it makes me more at ease when I use a lock for our checked-in luggage.

When I received the TSA luggage combination lock from Alaska Bear, I looked forward to seeing its features.

Here is a quick product description from the company:

1. No need to keep an extra key.
2. Set your own personalized combination convenience.
3. Steel shackle for strong cut resistance.
4. A unique pole on top of the lock will let you know if a TSA inspector opens the lock.
5. The TSA inspectors never leave your bags unlocked after Inspections because they cannot remove their key without relocking It. So you can keep belongings safe from being stolen.

The TSA Approved Luggage Combination Lock arrived in a simple, sealed, plastic packaging. It measures 5 x 3.2 x 0.7 inches and weighs approximately 2.4 ounces.

The combination lock is pre-set to 0-0-0 but can easily be set by following the simple directions on the packaging.

There is a red TSA logo which is nice because TSA officers can examine and inspect your luggage without having to destroy the lock if you're not present.

There is a red indicator on the top of the luggage combination lock which pops out when TSA officers opened the lock (haven't tried this before but it's indicated on the packaging), and can only be reset or pushed back if I opened the lock using my correct combination code. I like this feature since I would know if a TSA officer opened the lock without me being present.

The TSA approved luggage combination lock from Alaska Bear looks durable and has a sturdy look and feel to it. I like how easy it is to use and that I am more at ease that the content inside my luggage is more safe from theft.

 It's already summer and every year, we go to the beach and/or go pier fishing. When I received the Tote Bag by Sacko, I was happy to try it because I know I can use this when we go on our trip this summer.

The inner bag has a board at the bottom to make the bag stand up sturdier by itself. It also has a snap button so that the tote bag can be closed.

The front pocket is great to hold sunblock/sunscreen.

Aside from using this as a beach tote bag, this is also great to use for snacks if we're going on a long trip. It can also be used as a grocery shopping tote bag which is nice.

I like the versatility of this bag and I like that it's durable as well.

Forever Fused Fruit Infuser Water Bottle Review

I've been trying to have a healthier food lifestyle and one of the things that I incorporated is drinking more water and eating more fruits and vegetables. A fruit infuser bottle was perfect for my lifestyle because aside from drinking water, I can add fresh fruits in it so that I can infuse it with a bit of flavor and the nutrients of the fruits.

When I was offered the Fruit Infuser Water Bottle by Forever Fused, I was quite excited to try it. Although I already have a fruit infuser bottle, I wanted my family to have one as well so that they can use it as well.

Here is a quick product description from the company:
❖ Our fruit infused water bottle is made of high quality Eastman Tritan Copolyester, which is eco-friendly, BPA free, dishwasher safe and leak proof.
❖ All of our water bottles are backed with our 100% money back guarantee
❖ FREE sports backpack and fitness eBook with every infuser water bottle as our way to say THANK YOU!

 The Forever Fused Infuser Bottle has a blue fruit infuser basket which holds 4 to 5 whole frozen strawberries. It has several horizontal holes on each side to make it possible to make a fruit infused water.

The white twist cover keeps the fruits inside the fruit basket and although bits and pieces of fruit may escape the holes, the bulk of the fruit stays inside the fruit basket.

 The white lid of the fruit basket holds it on top of the water bottle. After closing the lid, to infuse the water with the fruit, I shook the bottle for 10 seconds and then left it for about 10 minutes.

The result is a pinkish-colored water with bits of strawberries floating on the water. The cover/lid has a handle so that I can carry this bottle on the go.

I also like putting this in the freezer for about 30 minutes so that I'll have ice cold, fruit infused water.

The taste of the fruit infused water has a slight sweetness to it because of the strawberries. I like how easy this is to use and I also like the durable material used for the bottle. I like how this can hold 24 oz. of liquid and that this is easy to clean as well.

The only thing I noticed is that I can't use this water bottle while I'm doing certain activities like biking. Why? Because I have to fully open the cover of the water bottle so that I can drink. Comparing this to a water bottle with a spout, I have to stop biking in order to drink from this bottle. However, when I'm working out at home, the wide mouth opening is perfect so that I can gulp a larger amount of water per drink.

I like this bottle because I can drink fruit infused water using natural and fresh fruits. I also like how I can mix and match fruits to place inside the fruit basket of this water bottle.

No More Excess Baggage Fees With Gear District Luggage Scale Review

One time when we traveled, we were charged extra baggage fees because our luggage was 8 lbs overweight. Well, extra baggage fees are expensive but we still paid for it. After that incidence, we always make sure to underestimate the weight of our luggage so that we wouldn't have to pay any extra baggage fee.

When I received the Gear District's Luggage Scale, I looked forward to it because this would be useful so that we wouldn't have any extra baggage fees anymore.

The Gear District's Luggage Scale is small, light, portable and easy to use. The LCD display is big and has a blue back light which makes it easy to read the weight displayed. There is a single button which is used as the power button and to change through the different weight measurement display: kg, lb, oz, gr and a Tare function.

This also came with a free combination lock which I think is nice. The strap which is used to hold the luggage is strong and durable. This can weigh up to 110 lbs. of luggage/baggage.

The Gear District's Luggage Scale is easy to use and is accurate. The weight of my sister's luggage measured by the Gear District's Luggage scale only has less than a lb difference compared to the weight measured in the airport.

The only thing I noticed was that for small luggages, this can be used by standing and pulling the luggage up. However, for bigger luggages, hubby has to stand on a chair in order to lift the big luggage and weigh it properly.

I like that this is portable and light so that we can bring it when we travel as well. We don't have to worry about excess baggage weight because we have this already.

Softy Individually Wrapped Hand Sanitizing Wipes Review

One of the things that you'll always find inside my bag, in our car, and around the house are wet wipes because my daughters, who are 4 and 6, often have dirty hands and faces. Now, if we're inside the house, washing their hands and their faces is my first choice but when we're out of our home and there are no faucets nearby, then that's when wipes come in.

When I received the Soft Individually Wrapped Hand Sanitizing Wipes, I was so happy because I've already tried Softy's All Purpose Sanitizing Wipes and I love them.

Each box of Softy Individually Wrapped Hand Sanitizing Wipes contains 100 individually wrapped wipes which for me is great because I often use them. The wipes are moist and they smell really good. Each wipe is 7 x 8 inches in size which is perfect to clean messy hands and faces.

The wipes are soft and very smooth and yet they're durable and doesn't tear easily. The wipes have a light citrus scent which smells really nice. The anti-bacterial formula of these wipes kills 99.9% of germs in less than 5 seconds.

Each individually wrapped hand sanitizing wipes are labeled. I like that these are alcohol-free and has Vitamin E and Aloe to prevent drying of skin. My daughters love using this and I love how these wipes don't irritate my daughters' skin as well as my skin.

I love how I can place a couple of these individually wrapped hand sanitizing wipes by Softy inside my bag without weighing my bag down. It's perfect to bring when we're out doing groceries as well as for longer trips.
