We use a kitchen-mount water filter for our drinking water but I've never tried a shower filter before. I've had hunches that the dryness and build-up on my scalp may be due to our water (I can see the build-up in the shower head) so I was quite curious if the Ava Shower Filter would solve this problem.

The Ava Shower Water Filter is easy to install. It is kind of heavy but it stays in place. It doesn't leak which I think is nice too.

After about a week of using the Ava Shower Filter, I noticed that my scalp became more clear than before. I noticed the flaky, dry parts on my scalp looked healthier and there are less flakiness. I don't have a water strip/tester at home so I can't really say if the Ava Shower Filter is effective in filtering water but based on the results I got, it might be effective since my scalp has never been this clear for a long time.

Showermade 6 Pocket Shower Caddy Review

I have 3 sets of different shampoos and conditioners and I switch what I use everyday. This doesn't include hubby's shampoo, my daughters' shampoo, my body wash, my Nizoral anti-dandruff shampoo which I use at least once a week. Our shower has a bit of built-in small shelf for toiletries BUT since I have a lot and use several brands of shampoos and conditioners, the space isn't enough for all our toiletries. And, I forgot to mention the slime and soap scum which forms under our shampoo bottles which is a bit icky and eew.

When I received the Showermade 6 Pocket Shower Caddy, I was quite excited about the possibilities of how I can use it.\\

The Showermade Shower Caddy has a heavy duty mesh and is double stitched for reinforced durability. It has 6 pockets outside so I can place my smaller toiletries there like my toothpaste, facial wash, loofah, toothbrush, etc.

The handle is 20" long so I can easily hang it. The Shower Caddy is spacious and I can place up to 6 different regular-sized shampoo and/or conditioners inside.

The mesh fabric makes the shower caddy breathable so that my my toiletries would dry when I hang the caddy. It leaves the bottom of my shampoo and conditioner bottles dry and clean.

I also like how this helped organize our shower because I can place my shampoo and conditioners inside this caddy. It made our shower less messier and less cluttered. I don't have to worry about bottles of shampoo and conditioners falling on my foot if I accidentally hit them while rinsing my hair.

I also like how I can bring this on the go. I'm excited to bring this to the beach this summer. I can place our wet clothes and towels here when we go to the beach. We usually put our wet clothes and towels in a plastic bag and most of the time, the wet clothes smell bad already once we get home. I think the shower caddy's mesh fabric will help with the scent because it's breathable so the wet clothes wouldn't smell as much.

Stainless Steel Shower Curtain Rings From Nikkouware Review + Giveaway 1/21 US

Have you ever felt the need to "tug" your shower curtain because you're using a plastic shower curtain ring? I have! I thought it was just normal for me to "tug" on our shower curtains in slide it open and close BUT! I've came to the realization that I never have to do that anymore! PLUS, I wouldn't have to worry about our shower curtain rings breaking when I tug too hard.

The Nikkouware Shower Curtain Rings are made of stainless steel and has a polished chrome nickel plated finish. They are light and each ring has 5 small roller balls. They are also rust-proof and corrosion free. Each pack contains 12 shower curtain rings and can fit 3/4" to 1-1/8" diameter shower rods.

The Nikkouware Stainless Steel Shower Curtain Rings are very beautiful. When I received it, I noticed how well-made they are. The rings are visibly high-quality and I love the roller ball design. They are very easy to install and only took me a few minutes to put it in our shower rod.

The 5 small balls look like they're just a design for the shower curtain rings but they actually "roll". They make sliding the shower curtain easier because they glide and roll.

I've installed this the day I received it and I am surprised that they still look fresh from the package. They haven't gotten any scratches yet (even after we've slid the shower curtain countless of times already) and rust-free.

I love how these shower curtain rings added a touch of elegance to our bathroom. I don't need to "tug" on our shower curtain anymore to slide it open and close and I don't have to worry about the shower curtain rings breaking or snapping.

PEVA Shower Curtain Liner From Smarty Pants Supplies Review

Before, I used to think that a shower curtain liner is just a shower curtain liner. I don't have to invest in it and the ones available in the dollar store are okay for our bathroom. I noticed that I often have to change our shower curtain liner because there would be black molds forming at the bottom of the liner. In addition to this problem, the shower curtain liners from the dollar store are usually flimsy, thin and they easily rip. I used to think that "hey, they're only a dollar!", but, when I sum up the times I change our shower curtain liner, I realize how much the dollar shower curtain liners add up! Don't get me wrong, but I love the dollar store because I find lots of great products there, just not the shower curtain liner.

Smarty Pants Supplies sent me their PEVA Shower Curtain Liner to try and I chose the Frosted one. They also have a white one and an ultra-clear one. Their shower curtain is has a 72" x 72" size, is PVC free and is made of 100% PEVA.

The shower curtain liner comes with 12 rust-proof metal grommets.

The shower curtain liner  is also mold & mildew resistant and chlorine-free.

There are 3 encased magnets at the bottom of the liner which are distributed evenly.

The moment I received the Smarty Pants Supplies PEVA Shower Curtain Liner, I immediately felt the difference between the cheaper shower curtain liners I bought and this one. The shower curtain liner from Smarty Pants Supplies have a thicker material and has no chemical or plastic scent.

Here are my thoughts about the Smarty Pants Supplies' PEVA Shower Curtain Liner:

- the shower curtain liner I received has a thick material and looks durable enough to last for a long time.
- the rust-proof metal grommets protect the liner from tearing.
- the encased magnets at the bottom help a lot in ensuring the water doesn't splash out into our floor because it weighs the shower curtain down.
- I haven't seen any presence of black molds on the bottom of the shower curtain liner yet.
- it's thick enough to be used by itself even without our fabric shower curtain.
- doesn't rip or tear easily even though my daughters pull on it.
- no plastic or chemical scent when I removed it from its original packaging.

Since the materials of the PEVA Shower Curtain Liner look nice and made from quality materials, I think I wouldn't need to replace this shower curtain liner for a long time. :) That saves me money as well as time putting the shower curtain liner on and off the hooks.
