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:

This travel neck pillow is unlike any other with a revolutionary new design that provides cushy support to the head and neck. The pillow is perfect for travel and home - such as watching television, resting, meditating or reading. The flat-back head support allows the user's head to rest most comfortably and does not force the user's head into a forward leaning postion. The pillow compresses beautifully into its own attached bag so you can have comfort and convenience! The pillow retails for $39.99 on Amazon. Features include:

• Super plush polyester fill; exterior polyester & cotton
  Superior design that cradle head and neck in plush support

  Compresses into attached bag for easy travel
  Ultra-light & washable
  Perfect gift for traveler
  Made in USA!
  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.

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. 

- Leak Proof Technology - 3 leak-proof cap wall and no dip valve to prevent leaks and spills

- 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.  

- Large Bottle Opening for fast, drip free fills. 

- Built-In Suction Cup -Temporarily attach to smooth surfaces such as hotel tiles for easy reach in the shower. Moisten suction cup for better holding power.

 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.

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:

I like how I can use the Sacko Reusable Tote Bag in a variety of ways. When not in use, I can fold and roll it so that I can easily store it. 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. I like how versatile and handy this tote bag is and I like that I can reuse it over and over again.

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.

  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.

Beige Tote Bag With Front Pocket By Sacko Review

 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.

Here is a quick product description from the company:

• Go Green with this Sacko (TM) Tough 600 Denier Color Polyester Shopping Tote Bag. 
• This bag features Ample Room for your shopping essentials, a Snap Closure, Front Pocket for Extra Space, Reinforced Straps and Inner Bottom Board that Prevents wear and tear.
• Great for Shopping, Everyday Errands, School, Trips to the Park and even the Beach.

The Sacko Tote Bag with Front Pocket has a nice beige color. The bag measures 16.25" x 12.125" x 4.875" so there's room to put 4 towels here and a bit more extra space for other things like and extra set of clothes or some snacks.

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.

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.

Blue Sacko Insulated Lunch Bag Review

The Sacko Insulated Lunch Bag comes in 4 colors and I chose the blue one to review. It arrived in a plastic bag and flattened so the exterior material of the bag looked a bit crumpled. It went away after my daughter used the bag a few times. The bag has a very nice and vibrant blue color. The carrying strap is adjustable which is nice so that my 1st grader can use it for school.

When fully expanded, the bag measures 7 1/4"(W) x 10"(H) x 7"(G).

The Sacko Insulated Lunch Bag is made of 70DNylon. The inside has a white color and it has a thick, soft feel. The bag is well made and the stitches are clean.

The inside of the bag has a durable, easy-to-open zipper and is a bit small. It didn't fit hubby's Rubbermaid Lunch Blox but, it can, however, fit smaller containers and snack packs which I think is nice. I usually put my daughter's cold water in here to keep it cold the whole days she's in school. I just wrap the cold water with a cloth to absorb the moisture from the cold bottle.

The front of the bag has a smaller, zippered pocket which is perfect for a travel pack wet wipe or tissue. The sides of the bag has 2 mesh pockets which has enough room for a 500 ml. plastic bottle, or a similar size.

I like this sacko insulated lunch bag because it keeps my daughter's food cold or warm at school. It has enough room for her snacks and bottle water and I like the carrying strap because she can just hang it over her shoulder. This looks durable and the materials used are thick so I think that this would last.
