Alartec 3-Tier Swivel Base Rack Review

I received my Aleratec 3-Tier Swivel Stand Entertainment Rack complete with all the parts that was neatly packed and in plastic and was in excellent form and condition.

 It consist of the 3 racks ( base, middle and top) that was kind of heavy and looked very sturdy and durable. There were 8 short legs that measures 3.75in/95mm, 8 long legs that measures 5.85in/148mm and 8 pcs of screws.

There was an instruction/guide and I would say that it was very easy to assemble the rack. It took us less than 5 minutes to build and set it all up. We chose to use the long legs both at the top and bottom to have more space. We just kept the 8 short legs. But what is nice about this rack is that we could just change the legs super fast if we wanted a shorter stand or use the bigger leg at the bottom and the smaller leg at the top depending on what we want to put in the rack. I love how the swivel base rotates 360 degrees. It is about 16 inches tall and about 20 inches wide. It claims it can carry up to 132 lbs but since our TV is wider, we set it up next to it and used it for our game consoles and other stuffs. I think this rack is also great for computers and monitors.

SafeBest Bike Lock Review

I have a bike that I seldom use now so I park it in our front porch. My husband's bike got stolen at the parking lot of our apartment complex so, for security reasons and for my peace of mind, I wanted to lock my bike even though it's parked in our front porch. That's why I was excited to try the SafeBest Bike Lock.

It is 6 ft long, lightweight but is made of 1/4" Steel Braided Cable with a 3/8" Coated Sleeve around it to prevent the bike from being scratched. It includes a Bike lock holder for easy storage while riding.

The lock is preset to 0-0-0-0 but I was able to reset it according to my preferred combination. The instructions on how to set the bike lock combination was easy to understand and is similar to other combination locks I've had before: set combination to 0-0-0-0, remove cable lock, turn knob at 90 degrees in a clockwise manner to the designated position, reset number combination to desired numbers (don't forget to make sure that the numbers are lined up along the marks on the case), the turn the knob back in its original position in a counterclockwise direction and it's done.

In my opinion, this is okay to use during the day or in a short period of time. For example, when I ride my bike to the grocery store and buy something quickly, then this bike lock is safe to use and will prevent my bike from being stolen. During the night, it's a different story because hubby used his similar sized bike cable one time (he has a thicker metal chain) before and his bike was gone the next day. Overall, this bike lock looks sturdy and durable and perfect to bring when we ride our bikes to the grocery store since it's lightweight but not enough for night time use.

Period Starter Kit From Be Prepared.Period Review

This Period Starter Kit is one product that is very useful for girls who are close to starting their first period as well as for older women. I received the menstruation kit all bundled up in a cute wrapper. It contained 1 Cute Pink Sequined Travel Bag, 2 Natural Pads, 1 Natural Panty Liner, 2 Scensibles Personal Disposal Bags and 1 Feminine Wipe. It also included some brochures about websites for more information specially for the teens who are just starting to have their period.

I wanted to keep this for my daughter but she is just 7 so I just bring this in my bag for my use. It makes me feel more secure that I am prepared whenever, wherever. The sequined bag is so cute and girlish. It is so handy because it is small and lightweight so I can just put it in my bag. I barely know its in my bag until there's a need for it.

Stainless Steel Herb Scissors By X-Chef Review

If you love to cook, then the Herb Scissors from X-Chef is of great help in the kitchen but, if you love veggies and salads, then this product is a must have in the kitchen. Ever since I became a little bit health conscious, I try to eat and serve as much veggies, green salads or use herbs when cooking. Before the X-Chef scissors, I just use an ordinary knife to make my salad so that's why I was so excited to try this product.

I received the scissors neatly packed in a box. It came with a protective plate cover and a service zone manual. Just be careful when sliding the scissors in the case.

 The scissors have 5 blades included. I like this specific design because it cuts and saves time cutting leafy veggies and herbs.

Sometimes, 1 of the outer blade doesn't go in the case and it can hurt your fingers. So be sure that all 5 blades are in before pushing the scissors inward. The culinary scissors are made from food-grade stainless steel so they're always safe to use with veggies/herbs and heavy-duty steel rivets that hold scissor blades together securely so they always perform consistently. The handle looks durable and has a non slip grip for easy and fast cutting. It has 5 sharp blades that make it easy to cut large quantity efficiently. Now I can cut and produce chopped herbs directly as I put it in my dish or plate. I can cut, chop, mince, trim, snip, and shear my salad with just the X-Chef scissors. It makes preparing the salad specially for parties more convenient and less straining. I definitely love this in my kitchen.

AYL Portable Wireless Bluetooth Speaker Review

I bring a portable wireless speaker when we go swimming or when we used to go pier fishing so that we can listen to music while I keep my phone safe in my bag. That's why, when I received the AYL portable bluetooth wireless speaker, I looked forward to trying it. Before I head on over to my review, here's a quick product description from the company:

MORE POWERFUL THAN THE COMPETITION - Most Bluetooth speakers designed for use as shower speakers and outdoor speakers have 3-watt audio drivers. AYL SoundFit shower & outdoor Bluetooth speakers feature 5-watt audio for stronger bass and higher quality sound.  Perfect for Outdoor Sports, Travel, Bicycle/Bike, Cycling, Climbing, Camping, Hiking, Running, Fishing Use.

LISTEN ON & ON - Our wireless shower speaker has a high capacity battery that can provide up to 12 hours of endless music, even at 80% volume! The Bluetooth speakers outdoor model can be recharged in just 3 hours with the included Micro USB cable! That's much faster than other outdoor wireless speakers.

QUICK & EASY TO PAIR - AYL SoundFit Bluetooth shower speaker & outdoor speaker uses Bluetooth 4.0 technology, so it pairs with portable devices much more quickly than other portable Bluetooth speakers. The wireless speakers outdoor & shower range is 33 feet, so you can listen to your device even when it's far away.

READY FOR ANY TYPES OF CONDITIONS - AYL SoundFit Bluetooth Speakers Waterproof level IPX5- Protected against low pressure water stream from any angle. Not submersible, but should withstand accidental drop in water. Guarantees that it will stay safe in the shower, in the rain, by the pool or on a boat (Just make sure if water gets in the speaker, to let it dry out right after)! We build our water-resistant speaker extra tough to ensure that it can be safely carried anywhere life's adventures take you!

The AYL portable bluetooth speaker arrived in a nice box. Inside the box were the following: green AYL SoundFit Bluetooth Speaker, USB Charging Cable, AUX 3.5 mm Audio Cable, a black pouch and a user manual.

The speaker looks very durable and heavy duty. It measures 3.6 x 2 x 3.9 inches and weighs 9.4 oz. The manual is easy to understand.

There are 4 specially marked control buttons located on the top area which is clearly labeled. One button is used to turn the speaker on/off. The next button is used to lower the volume of the speaker, next one is used to play or pause music and is also used to answer or end calls. The last button is used to turn the volume up.

 The micro-USB slot and the 3.5 mm AUX jack is located on the side of the speaker.

The micro-USB and 3.5 mm AUX jack has a cover which is nice because it covers the ports when not in use. I also like that there's a 3.5 mm AUX jack and a 3.5 mm AUX audio cable because I can also connect my MP3 cable which doesn't have any blue tooth capabilities.

It was easy to pair the wireless speaker with my phone and has a range of 33 ft. The batteries are rechargeable and since the speaker came with a little charge, I was able to try it immediately.  The charging time is about 4 hours and the batteries can last up to 10 hours. I would say that the quality of the sound is great because of the powerful 5-watt audio driver. I can hear every note of the music loud and clear and unlike some cheaper speakers, The AYL speaker have bass.

The compact speaker is waterproof level IPX5 protected so I can bring it in the shower, use it beside the pool or even in the rain. But, even  though it says in the product description that it can withstand accidental drop in water, I didn't try submerging it on water. The description says to just let it dry out before using it again.

I like how the casing is somewhat rubberized and has notches all around that makes it withstand occasional bumps. Overall, The AYL speaker is impressive.

Nerdwax Glasses Wax Review

 I have 2 glasses, my prescription glasses and my Sunglasses. I don't need it in my sunglasses because it fits perfectly well. I use this product on my prescription glasses. I love the frame that's why I still wear it even if it doesn't fit well.

The Nerdwax is a great help for making my glasses stay where they should be. If your glasses is constantly slipping down your nose and you have to keep pushing them back but you have to wear your glasses at work the whole day, then this beeswax can help. It is made of natural ingredients so I don't have to worry about it getting in contact with my skin. I have a sensitive skin and I almost always have breakouts in most cosmetics, not to mention even facial wash. I was a bit hesitant to try this product but I, too was amazed that it did not irritate my skin. I usually apply this to my glasses only once every morning after I wipe my glasses with wet cloth. But when It is really hot or humid or when I exercise and I sweat a lot, I need to wipe my glasses and re apply every now and then. Just be careful not to get it on the glasses because it is hard to get it off. And don't forget to wipe it off your nose when you remove your glasses as I always do because it is a bit shiny/oily. Great remedy for sliding eyeglasses.

Elba Naturals N.2 Anti-Acne Treatment Gel Review

I get these big, cystic acne approximately on the same spot when "that time of the month" comes closer and I noticed that the current acne cream I'm using isn't helping at all. The big, acne cysts, usually 2 to 3 BIG ones, become red and painful and would last for a couple of days. After that, the redness and bump subsides a bit but it doesn't completely go away. When I was given the chance to try the Elba Naturals N.2 Anti-Acne Treatment Gel, I looked forward to trying it. Before I head on over to my review, here is a quick product description from the company:

QUICKLY TREATS INFECTED ACNE WITHOUT SCARING - You'll be amazed by the fast results.
REDUCES REDNESS AND BLEMISHES IMMEDIATELY - Penetrates the skin to magically heal and cleanse, and has a wonderful matifying effect.
NATURAL & ORGANIC - Gentle treatment, great for sensitive skin. Perfect blend of non-comedogenic, relaxing and highly detoxifying ingredients.
CRUELTY FREE: NOT TESTED ON ANIMALS - It goes without saying, this is certainly our #1 priority!
MADE IN USA, 100% MONEY BACK GUARANTEED - Comes in a 1 oz bottle, with an airless pump to protect the gel from contamination. You'll LOVE this gel... but if you don't, no problem, we'll return your money!

The Elba Naturals N.2 Anti-Acne Treatment Gel arrived in an amber bottle with a built-in pump included. It is clear and colorless and has a jelly-like consistency. It doesn't smell nice but it doesn't smell bad either. It has a sightly cooling feeling and it's nice that the scent slowly dissipates as the product dries up.

I use this twice a day and haven't experience any skin irritations, excessive peeling or dryness. I only dab the product directly on my acne and massage it in a circular motion. I like that it absorbs quickly and neither feels greasy nor heavy on my skin.

My acne has subsided and instead of being there for sometimes a week, the redness and bump subsides faster. It didn't clear up my skin completely though, but I like that it helps with the redness and helps my acne become smaller quicker.

Salsa Crazy Tropical Mango Salsa Review

I have recently been craving for chips and salsa. I have already tried Salsa Crazy's Burn the Dance Floor Serrano Salsa and it was delicious! It's just a little bit hot for me because I have a low tolerance to food that are spicy but I still like it anyways as long as there's a pitcher of cold water nearby..

 When I saw the SalsaCrazy Tropical Mango Hot Sauce Salsa, I was excited to try it because I so love mangoes! And I really loved the taste. It is not too sweet and not that spicy too.

I love how the sweetness, sourness and hotness were combined. I love how there are bits and pieces of mangoes, corn, pineapple, bell peppers, onion, coconut and also the taste of lime in it. No wonder it taste so great! This is a very delicious deviation from the normal salsa that is made from tomatoes, though I like tomatoes too.

Sport Armband for Galaxy S6 With Pink Reflector Review

I love to exercise and go for walks. However, doing this things alone is not as fun as having someone with you. Since I have my own running belt and the sport armband I recently received doesn't fit my Huawei Ascend Mate 2 phone, I was excited to give the Galaxy S6 Running & Exercise Armband for my mom.

I love that although this product was designed for Galaxy S6, it is also compatible with a lot of other cellphone brands. We tried an HTC desire phone and it fit nicely but, even though the holes doens't match the jacks and ports on the phone, it's no problem because my mom uses a wireless in-ear headphones.

The armband looks really nice and pretty with the pink reflector that allows additional visibility and safety at night. Although it is lightweight, it is made of durable nylon, velcro and neoprene materials. I can also say the this armband from i2 Gear was perfectly made and neatly sewn. The arm pad is thick yet it is soft and comfortable to wear and can easily be adjusted to fit snugly. It can be worn for arms measuring from 9.5 to 15 inches.

I love that there's a slot for cards, id's, cash and also keys. You can easily access music and phone's buttons through the plastic cover. It keeps the phone safe and also sweat-free while exercising, biking or just simply walking. It can easily be cleaned or washed manually with little detergent and can just hang overnight to dry. Very useful and very stylish at the same time.

Zim's Max Crack Creme Review

All throughout the year, more so during winter, I experience dryness of the skin. I always apply lotion everyday but there are just some parts of my body particularly my legs, hands and feet that still feels dry even with lotion. I carry lotion in my bag because I feel the need to reapply it couple of times during the day. I have sensitive skin and get skin allergy to many products so, I was eager to try the Zim's Max Crack Creme. The Zim's Crack Creme came in a nice box and the product is in a plastic bottle.

 

Here are some important information from the manufacture:

Indications - Dry Skin

Ingredients - Glycerine, SD alcohol 3-C purified water, arnicaextract, and myrcia oil.

Directions - Gently massage a small amount where needed several times daily. Continue to use periodically to keep skin soft and smooth. 

The product is colorless, consistency is a little bit thicker than water but more diluted than oil. It is not fragrant like most lotions but it has a subtle herbal-menthol-like scent. I remember the scent of some mosquito repellants that my grandpa used to have. I use this on my legs and it felt soft and smooth after a couple of days. I let my mom try it on her heels and after a week, she noted that it has softened the cracks and creases and her heels does not look scaly anymore. I am amazed that this product actually works.
