Mamaway Postpartum Belly Band Review

 I had both my daughters through C-Section and afterwards, I wore a belly band to help with the incision and on a side note, lessen the belly pouch, tighten stomach muscles and support my back. When I received the Mamaway postpartum belly band, I looked forward to trying it even though I'm not pregnant. It's nice to see if this is different from the ones I used before. Before I head on over to my review, here is a short description of the product from the company:

- 12% Polyester, 48% Nylon, 20% Bamboo Charcoal, 20% Rubber
- Wear right after birth. Can be used straight after birth to first help with uterus and pelvis recovery, then used to tighten the abdominal area as well as back support, as you will be bending down constantly to pick up your baby. Perfectly safe for both natural and c-section. Wide enough to be a corset, soft enough to be a wrap and strong enough to give you back support.
- Triple Compression. Easy to use 3 step fastening feels secure and comfortably tight. Two extra compression belts to reinforce key recovery areas, giving you an immediate waist line.
- Comfortably tight. You can wear it all day, everyday, even during sleep. Designed to bend, twist and move with your body and won't ride up, ever.
- Incredibly stretchy. Breathable Bamboo fibres form a rigid yet flexible material enabling easy, natural movements. Accelerate recovery with added infer-red to improve blood circulation.
- High quality, durable construction that will maintain its shape, wash after wash.

The Mamaway Postpartum Belly Band arrived neatly packed in a plastic casing. I would say that this product is much better than the one I've used 4 years ago because the material used is soft and smooth and yet it provides a lot of support on the belly. I noticed that it has an extra layer of band that adds more compression and helps the band to stay in place. This belly band from Mamaway provides double support not only to the belly but also my back. It is easy to wear and stretchy and can be adjusted for comfort. The material is hypoallergenic and does not irritate the skin. It can easily be washed with no worries about the material because it maintains its shape and not easily wear off. I am so keeping this for my next baby.

Mivi Collection Set of 2 DVD Storage Bags Review

My 2 daughters have a collection of DVD's and it has been a problem where to store them. I usually just put them under the TV rack but since they have accumulated not only in number but also dust, and most of which they don't watch anymore, I was glad to have the Set of 2 DVD Storage Bags by Mivi Collection. Before I head on over to my review, here is a short product description of the product from the company:

Our DVD storage case organizes and protects your favorite movies, concerts and documentaries. Durable clear PVC vinyl plastic DVD storage case lets you see your favorite titles at a glance. Zippered top and webbed nylon handles make this DVD storage the perfect solution for toting movies from house to camper or cottage. Set of two (2) bags holds 80 DVDs total.

Each bag measures 24 x 8½ x 5½ inches and can hold 40 DVDs each , with a total of up to 80 DVDs because there are 2 bags in this set. Our DVDs can now be packed and organized which is absolutely great. I like that the bag is made of durable clear plastic so I can easily see which DVDs are in the bag. I also like that it has a sturdy handle that makes it easy to carry the DVD's. I like that the bag has dividers so that I can arrange and sort out the DVD's accordingly. And I like how they can be stacked on top of each other so as not to take up a lot of space. This DVD storage bag is a big help to protect our DVD's and at the same time de-clutter my TV stand.

Amazapens 24 Gel Ink Pens Review

I like to collect different types of pens with different colored inks. Back when I was still studying, I had a drawer full of pens because I would buy pens just as long as the ink writes smoothly and the ink doesn't blot. When I was asked to do a review of the AmazaPens, I was super excited to try it. Before I head on over to my review, here is a short product description from the company:

GREAT VARIETY! 24 colors include 12 Glitter, 6 Neon, 6 Pastel. Non toxic and Acid Free. Perfect for keeping busy with art projects or relaxing with a coloring book!
LONGER LASTING! Are you tired of your pens drying out just as you are in the middle of a project? Well, Amazapens have 40% extra ink than most other pens so they LAST LONGER and won't run out just as you're getting inspired!
COMFORT - Soft rubber grip feels great to hold and will let you draw, write, journal or just scribble for hours on end!
FANTASTIC VALUE - Glitter pens have 1mm ballpoint tips, neon & pastel have 0.8mm tips. Great for Mind Mapping, Writing, Adult coloring books, scrapbooking and all other artistic creations!
RELAX AND GET CREATIVE - Silky smooth application with easy flowing tip. Buy these for handcrafted gift cards, invitations, zentangle or simply give the kids some paper, grab yourself a coffee and kick back while they color!

The AmazaPens came in a plastic case which is nice because I can store the pens again once I'm done using them.

I love the variety of colors included in this pack because I am able to find the color I need when writing or taking down lists. I also like how the ink doesn't blot when I write. The pens write and glide smoothly and for me, that is a plus since it's much easier to write.

I also like how these pens dry quickly. In approximately 5 seconds after writing, the ink on the paper is dry already so I like that these prevent smudges. They don't bleed onto the other side of the paper as well. The rubber grips make it easy for me to get a proper non-slip grip on the pens.

These is a nice set of different colored gel pens and since these are non-toxic, I let my 4 and 7 year old daughter use these and they love it too.

I fill the tank with 3/4 water and then add 1/4 mouthwash for fresher feeling in between the gums. This flosser is effective and can definitely clean the in between teeth. It does not really hurt the gums, I would like to use the word "startled" because of the pressure from the water. I think this is a more subtle way of flossing because my gums sometimes bleed when I use regular floss. I like how easy I can now clean the hard to reach areas. The powerful Gurin flosser makes my teeth and gums breathe and feel like I had just been to the dentist for cleaning.. only that I did it in my own home.

ACT! Acne Treatment Gel Review

I don't have much outbreaks, just 1 or maybe 2 zits but, they are big and cystic in nature. They stay  reddish and inflamed for days and don't actually really subside or go away because I can still feel the bump inside. And most of the time, the zit comes back and on the same spot as the one before. I've tried different acne gels and treatments and most doesn't work effectively. Recently, I was given the chance to try the ACT! Acne and blemish treatment gel. Before I head on over to my review, here is a short product description from the company:

Your search for the best Acne Treatment is over. When you purchase ACT! today, here are some things to look forward to...

- Fast results
- Treats infected acne without leaving a scar
- Reduces redness and blemishes immediately
- Treats sensitive skin
- Non-comedogenic, so it won't clog your pores
- Mattifying effect: controls the production of oil, so your skin doesn't look oily or shiny
- 98% Natural & 72% Organic ingredients, with 2% Salicylic Acid
- Gentle treatment, perfect for sensitive skin

The ACT! Acne Spot Treatment gel arrived in a plastic bottle with a built-in pump.The directions and ingredients were listen on the label. It is made of 98% Natural & 72% Organic ingredients plus 2% Salicylic Acid.

I followed the directions and applied it in the morning and evening after I wash my face. It is a light yellowish gel that smells earthy and is cool when applied to the skin. It didn't irritate my skin and is neither oily nor made my skin look shiny. I like that when applied, it dries up fast and leaves the skin feeling tight. I don't know if my bottle pump is defective but it squirts and sometimes some of the gel are wasted. It helped subside my acne in about 4 days, which is quicker compared to when I leave my zit alone.

This helps lessen the redness and the size of my acne and pimples but didn't make my skin flawless and acne-free.

Gurin Electric Compact Dehumidifier Review

When I take a bath, our bathroom would become foggy, specially the mirror, even when I turn on the exhaust fan. I have to open the door to clear the foggy mirror and now that the weather is colder, opening the door brings in a blast of coldness inside the bathroom. So, when I received the Gurin Dehumidifier, I was excited to try it. Before I head on over to my review, here is a short product description from the company:

The Gurin Electric Compact Dehumidifier uses Peltier Technology (no compressor) which makes it light and quiet. It is perfect for bathrooms, and small to mid-sized rooms where dampness and humidity are a problem. This unit is small enough to easily fit on your desk or workbench. It extracts the moisture from the air and stores it in a spill-proof reservoir. Just plug it in and it quietly dries the air. Features an automatic shut off switch to shut the unit off when the water reservoir is full. When this occurs a"full" indicator light will alert you when the reservoir needs to be emptied. Holds up to 16 oz. CE and UL Approved.

The Gurin DHMD-210 Electric Compact Dehumidifier in a box that included an AC/DC Power Adaptor and an instruction manual. It is small and compact measuring 8.5(H) x 6(W) x 5(D) inches and weighing about 2 lbs. It is so easy to use, just plug it and press the On Button (Green Light). I decided to set it up in our bathroom because it's foggy after I take a warm shower.

Specially now that it's getting colder, the mirror would fog up even if I turn on the exhaust fan in our bathroom. I have to wait a couple of minutes and open the door in order to lift the fog from the mirror. When I received the Gurin dehumidifier, I was excited to try it to see if it would help lessen the fogginess inside the bathroom. The Gurin dehumidifier is so quiet and doesn't consume much space. Since our bathroom countertop isn't that big, I like that I can fit it there without having to compromise space. It is quiet, barely a whisper, when working so it's nice. I have to empty the tray every 3 to 4 days because water collects at the plastic bin. I like that it's easy to use and works as it should.
