Berry Sleepy 100% Fruit Natural Sleep Aid Review

I naturally fall asleep fast but there are days when I just couldn't sleep. I don't take any habit-forming supplements to help me fall asleep because I don't want to rely on them in the future so I try to relax and take an all-natural sleep aid to help me fall asleep faster.

I was given the chance to try the Berry Sleepy 100% Fruit Sleep Aid Review and looked forward to trying it when I can't fall asleep.

Here's a short product description from the company:

Doctor-recommended Berry Sleepy® is a proprietary blend of three superfruits that are proven to induce sleep. Passion Fruit contains serotonin, a mild sedative perfect for helping you gently drift off. Goji Berries have a blend of magnesium and thiamin, ideal for high-quality rest. Tart Cherries contain optimal levels of melatonin to help you stay asleep.

The Berry Sleepy 100% Fruit Sleep Aid arrived in a plastic bottle with a flip top cap. The capsules are in veggie form and the contents inside has a subtle pink color. The instructions were to take 2 capsules 20-30 minutes before bedtime.

I tried the Berry Sleepy when I felt like I wouldn't fall asleep easily. When I took it, I felt the calming and relaxing effect about 20 minutes after I took 2 capsules. It made me sleepy and I didn't feel any side effect like stomach aches and the likes. When I woke up, I didn't feel any grogginess and felt refreshed.

I like how I didn't feel dependent on Berry Sleepy because more often than not, I can still drift off to sleep on my own. I only take this on days when I can't drift off to sleep and I'm glad that those days aren't increasing. It helps me drift off to sleep during those sleepless nights yet it didn't make me dependent on it.

Brillante Multi-Spectrum Pest Repeller Review

 I've never heard about a multi-spectrum pest repeller before. A few months back, I called pest control because the roaches are getting a bit out of hand (at least for me). The pest control guy told me that the roach infestation is still mild and is likely treatable with the roach paste (looks like peanut butter to me) he applied in cracks and the sides of the cabinet. True to his word, I didn't see any roaches after a few days until just recently, I noticed the roaches are acting up again.

When I received the Brillante Multi-Spectrum Pest Repeller, I decided to give it a try since it's non-toxic. I've never tried anything similar to this before so I looked forward to seeing if it would work.

The Brillante Multi-Spectrum Pest Repeller arrived in a brown box. The pest repeller unit is color white and is a bit heavy and bulky.

The left side of the pest repeller has the Ultrasonic and the Electromagnetic Switches. These work by:

-Ultrasonic sound wave creation (intended to disturb and drive away pests with sounds outside the spectrum audible to humans)
-Electromagnetic field alteration (to repel in-wall insects sensitive to electromagnetic variations)

 The right side of the pest repeller has the O3 and the Negative Ion Switches. These work by:
 -Negative ion generator (to reduce airborne particles, microbes and odors that help attract pests)
-O3 / ozone unit (for reducing indoor bacteria and virus levels)

I plugged the Brillante Multi-Spectrum Pest Repeller in our kitchen wall plug because that's where I regularly see roaches. It took up the whole socket because of its size so I placed it in the socket least used in our kitchen.

I turned all the switches on to see if it works and left it plug in 24 hours a day. Each switch has a corresponding LED light in front of the repeller to indicate that it's working. The LED light color is as follows:
Green: Ultrasonic
Red: Electromagnetic
Blue: O3
Yellow: Negative Ion

The green and the blue light flashes regularly which I think is due to the sound waves emitted by the Ultrasonic and Electromagnetic properties of the pest repeller. I didn't hear any audible sound coming from the Brillante Pest Repeller and we don't have any pets (except for turtles which are far away from the unit) so I don't have an idea if pets are disturbed by these inaudible sound waves.

A few days after installing this, I frequently see a roach on top of the repeller early in the morning when I switch on the lights. I tried to kill it but it just goes at the back of the repeller. It did indicate that the first few days of using the Brillante Pest Repeller, there will be an increase in pests in the home because they will be disturbed by the sound waves.

After about 2 weeks of continuously using the Brillante Multi-Spectrum Pest Repeller, I didn't see the roach on top of the Brillante Pest Repeller anymore. I also notice a decrease in instances when I see roaches in our kitchen counter top. I think this really works because the roach sightings aren't as frequent as before I plugged in the Brillante Multi-Spectrum Pest Repellent.

I couldn't say if this works on other pests such as mice, rodents, ants, etc. because thankfully, we don't have that problem in our home.

Scarinex Advanced Scar Gel Formula Review

My 2 daughters were born via C-Section and when I was pregnant with my 1st daughter, I had a tube on my tummy because I had an impacted gallbladder. I have so many small scars on my stomach as well as a C-Section (vertical and horizontal) scar and a diagonal scar due to my gallbladder removal.

The scars have healed but there is one scar which has darker sides. The middle part of the scar has lightened already but the parts where the stitches are look darker..

When I received the Scarinex Advanced Scar Gel Formula, I knew where to apply it.

Here is a quick product description of the Scarinex:
Scarinex™ is the most comprehensive scar removal system available. Scarinex™ is a breakthrough solution that successfully combines two highly effective forms of scar management into one system that works in conjunction with each other. You will not find a more complete or effective solution for your scars anywhere.
Scarinex™ Skin Rejuvenator is a scar removal cream that contains an unique proprietary blend of ingredients formulated to help with cell and tissue regeneration while fading the scar. And Scarinex™ Scar Gel uses only 100% medical grade silicone - the same as those highly used by doctors and plastic surgeons. Backed by over 50 medical studies proving the efficacy of its ingredients, Scarinex™ is the gold standard for scar removal. 

The Scarinex Advanced Scar Gel Formula arrived in a bottle with a blue label. It came with a built-in pump to dispense the gel from the bottle.

The Scarinex Advanced Scar Gel formula has a thick, oily consistency. It has a clear color and is unscented. It feels slightly oily and heavy and it absorbs a bit longer. It doesn't irritate my skin in any way and the oily feeling fades away after a few minutes.

I applied and massaged this to my stubborn scar 3 times a day. I only need a drop since my scar is just about an inch long. I apply it in a circular motion until the Scarinex spreads evenly on my scar.

After about 3 weeks of using the Scarinex, I saw an improvement on my scar. Since I got this scar almost 7 years ago, I didn't think it would lighten anymore. I was glad that the Scarinex worked even though it took about 3 weeks before I saw an improvement.

My scar didn't fade away permanently but I'm glad that it appears lighter. It's less noticeable so I'm really happy with using the Scarinex.

Sweetsation Therapy Lumi*Essence Organic Advanced Skin Brightening Repair Treatment with Kojic Acid, Arbutin & Vitamin C Review

Ever since I've hit puberty, I've had problems with acne. Recently, I've noticed that my acne scars takes a lot longer to lighten compared to when I was in my early 20's. I also noticed that my skin appears a bit dull at times so I use products to help my skin to appear brighter.

I've never tried a product from Sweetsation Therapy before so I looked forward to trying their product.

I received the Sweetsation Therapy's Lumi*Essence Organic Advanced Skin Brightening Repair Treatment. Here is a quick product description from the company:

Lumi*Essence Treatment is an Anti-Dark Spot Concentrate recommended for:

• Dark spots / Sun spots / Age spots / Freckles
  Uneven skin, Melazma
  Skin discolorations related to excessive sun exposure
  General skin luminocity

The Lumi*Essence Organic Advnced Skin Brightening Repair Treatment with Kojic Acid, Arbutin & Vitamin C from Sweetsation Therapy arrived in a white bottle with a cute label. The bottle came with a built-in pump to dispense the cream inside.

The cream has a white color, a creamy texture and is not-greasy. It absorbs very quickly and it doesn't feel heavy on my skin. I apply this twice a day and only need a smaller than pea-size amount for my entire face. The cream has a natural, fresh scent which is subtle and not irritating.

The Lumi*Essence Organic Advanced Skin Brightening Repair Treatment is gentle yet effective. I started to see some lightening on my acne scars about a month after I started using the Lumi*Essence. I like how it gently lightened my acne scars without the side effects like peeling, redness and irritation.

It also helped in brightening my skin complexion after about 2 weeks of using this diligently.

I like how this is gentle yet effective. The results aren't instant but I'm glad that in the long run, I saw some improvement on my dark acne scars.

Dot & Dot 4-Piece Silicone Travel Bottles Review

When we were younger, my mom used to pack full-sized personal products when we go on trips. One time, the toothpaste tube accidentally got opened inside our luggage and some of our clothes were soiled with toothpaste. Luckily, we brought extra clothes so we still had something to change into the next day.

When I received the Dot & Dot 4-pc. Silicone Travel Bottles, I immediately remembered that time when our clothes were soiled by the toothpaste because if we had these, maybe that accident could've been prevented. Why? Let me share with you why.

The Dot & Dot 4-pc. Silicone Travel Bottles arrived in a multicolored pack of 4 - 1.25 fl.oz. (37 ml) bottles. The bottles are pastel colored and very cute. Each bottle has a flip-top cap, are refillable and reusable.

The squeezing mechanism of the bottles are similar to a ketchup bottle. If I don't squeeze the bottle, the contents inside the bottles wouldn't go out. They have a small suction pad at the back but this can only hold the bottle for a short time in the bathroom. It doesn't matter for me since the bottles can stand up on its cover. :)

The bottles are in different colors so that I wouldn't switch the contents inside. This is also money-saving because I can just refill it every time we go on a trip. Trial-sized products are more expensive than full-sized ones so I think it's nice that I also save money.

Because these bottles can only hold up to 1.25 fl.oz. of products, each filled bottle can only last up to 3 days at the most for my family (we are a family of 4).

I can refill this with shampoo, conditioner, toothpaste, body wash, lotion or any other liquid which is thicker than water. These can be washed in the dishwasher after use so cleaning them is easy too.

The Dot & Dot Silicone Travel Bottles looks and feels durable and they're stylish. I love how they look and I love how they work.

SantaMedical Finger Pulse Oximeter Review

I like monitoring my heart rate and SpO2 level when I workout to see how effective my workout is. I do this during the short breaks in between workouts so, aside from my fitness tracker watch, I also use a pulse oximeter to check that both measure my heart rate similarly.

The SanteMedical Finger Pulse Oximeter arrived in a small blue box. Here is a quick product description from the company:

1.    FDA Approved. Measures quickly and accurately pulse rate and SpO2 blood oxygen saturation of arterial hemoglobin levels.
2.    Bright LED display shows real time Pulse Rate, Pulse Rate Bar and SpO2 level.
3.    Long battery life of thousands of readings plus automatic power off.
4.    Light and compact. Accommodates wide range of finger sizes. Not a medical device.
5.    You Get: Fingertip Pulse Oximeter, Neck/Wrist Cord, Case, User Manual, 2-AAA Batteries, plus our no-hassle 1 year warranty and friendly customer service.

The SantaMedical Pulse Oximeter has a white and blue color. It came with a carrying case and a lanyard to easily bring the pulse oximeter on the go. The 2xAAA batteries needed to power the pulse oximeter is already included in the box so that's a plus for me.

The pulse oximeter is small, light and portable. It works by inserting my finger in the middle of the pulse oximeter and within seconds, my SpO2 level and pulse rate is displayed on the screen.

Now the thing I noticed is that the red LED display is readable but it turns a bit blurry and sometimes shaky.  It feels like I'm having a bit of a double vision when I look at the screen BUT it's accurate and readable so it's fine with me.

The SantaMedical Finger Pulse Oximeter has an automatic shut off function which is nice because it automatically shut offs after a few seconds when no finger is detected.

This is easy to use and great to use to monitor SpO2 and pulse rate.

System Sharpener Knife Sharpener Review + Giveaway 4/3 US

I have several knives at home and the problem is, they get dull overtime. The only solution I had before was to buy knew knives because dull knives are a bit dangerous to use. Why? They're prone to slipping because they're not that sharp anymore so there's a bigger chance of me getting cut from a knife when I slice meat and certain fruits and vegetables like apples, chayote, etc.

Now, I found the perfect solution to prolong the life of my knives. How? Aside from proper care, a knife sharpener helps to sharpen dull knives.

I received the System Sharpener and although I already have a knife sharpener, I looked forward to trying this out because it has an extra feature: the large suction pad at the bottom.

The System Sharpener arrived in a plastic packaging. The System Sharpener has a green color and has 2 slits for sharpening knives. The slit with a label 1 is for coarse sharpening while the slit with a label 2 is for fine honing.

The Coarse Sharpening is used for blunt knives while the Fine Honing is used to eliminate burrs on the knife and polish it.

Both coarse sharpening and fine honing is done similarly. I made a quick video which you can find below to show you how to use the System Sharpener.

The System Sharpener effectively sharpened our dull knives. It can also be used on ceramic blades but since our ceramic knife is still new, I haven't tried to sharpen it on this knife sharpener yet. This isn't suitable for serrated blades/knives and scissors.

The large suction cup at the bottom of the knife sharpener helps keep the knife sharpener in place. I think this is nice because I wouldn't worry about the knife sharpening slipping from our kitchen counter. It makes it much safer to use the knife sharpener.

Cleaning the knife sharpener is also easy since I only have to wipe the inside of the slit with a damp cloth. 

I like how easy it is to use the System Sharpener Knife Sharpener and how it can prolong the life of our knives.

MY REVIEW:

We love to broil our meat and fish because it's super easy to do. When I received the Kiva Hot and Sweet Smoked Spanish Paprika, I looked forward to try it because this is actually the first time I had a Paprika powder at home.

I tried this on our broiled salmon and chicken. I mixed it with our Montreal Steak seasoning and sprinkled it on top of the salmon and chicken.

The Kiva Sweet Smoked Spanish Paprika gave the broiled salmon and chicken a smokey taste with a mild hint of spiciness and sweetness. It tasted great and I really liked it.

The Kiva Hot Smoked Spanish Paprika tasted a bit spicier with a smokey taste. I have a low tolerance to spiciness so coming from me, the Hot Smoked Spanish Paprika has the right spiciness for me. It does have a spicy kick at the end but not enough for me to not like it. :)

I like how these 2 seasoning tasted and I like how easy they are to use.

18 Inch Microfiber Mop Pads By Turkey Creek Essentials Review

Our kitchen floor is always sticky and full of I-dunno-what-stuff-are-there thingy because of my 2 daughters who are 4 and 7. No matter how many times I clean our kitchen floor, it always comes back to the state where there are patches of sticky spots all over the place. I have a handy velcro mop head at home and some sanitary wipes to clean the floor up but I go through a lot each week.

When I received the 18 Inch Microfiber Mop Pads by Turkey Creek Essentials, the first thing I noticed was the thickness and quality of the mop pads. The mop pads are 18 inches in length and 5.5 inches in width.

Although our velcro mop head is a bit smaller than the microfiber mop pad from Turkey Creek Essentials, it still worked fine. Our velcro mop head attached to the microfiber mop pad without problems and I was able to use it with no problems.

I like that the mop pads came in a set of two because I can use 1 mop pad for dry cleaning while the other one for damp cleaning. The mop pad easily picks up dirt and is effective to remove those sticky residues on our kitchen floor.

The microfiber mop pads are also washable and I've placed them inside the washing machine for a couple of times now, of course by themselves. They clean up nicely so I can reuse them again and again.

This is easy to use and I like that they're reusable so I don't have to buy mop refills regularly.
