Organic Home Pest Control Spray From Eco Defense Review

Recently, I've noticed an increased number of roaches in our kitchen specially early in the morning. I would often kill them with a paper towel but still, my goal is to first try to lessen their numbers and in time, eradicate all of them. I am not at ease to use the popular roach killers in store which are toxic because I have 2 girls who are 4 and 7. When I received the Home Pest Control Spray from Eco Defense, I looked forward to trying it because it's all natural.

Here is a short product description from the company:

Organic All Natural Pest Control Spray

Eco Defense Organic Home Pest Control Spray - Kills & Repels, Ants, Roaches, Spiders, and Other Pests Guaranteed - All Natural Insect Killer - Child & Pet Safe - Indoor/Outdoor Spray - 16oz

Features and Benefits:

ELIMINATES HOME INVADING PESTS - Naturally Kills and Repels Home Invading Pests Including: House Roach, Spiders, Ants, Fleas, Earwigs, Stink Bugs, Mites, Scorpion, Silverfish, and other common household pests.

ORGANIC & NATURAL - Made of completely All Natural Organic ingredients, Eco Defense Pest Control is the perfect solution for those looking to keep their homes free of pests and insects without the dangers of artificial sprays, baits, and pesticides commonly found on the market.

FAST ACTING BARRIER - Eco Defense is not only Fast Acting but also Long Lasting. Creates a Bug Barrier that the common Roach Killer and Ant Killer don't provide. Kills Fast and Keeps them out.

CHILD & PET SAFE - Safe to use around children and pets. Eco Defense is a Natural Non Toxic Alternative replacing typical unsafe Pest Control Products. No worries of harmful fumes or dangerous poisons & chemicals coming in contact with you and your family.

I received the Eco Defense Organic Home Pest Control Spray in a white plastic bottle. The spray cover is included separately.

The spray option has a stream, spray and off. I can change the spray option by rotating the small plastic on the tip of the sprayer.

When I started spraying this on the cracks between the wall and the cabinet, a few roaches started to come out of the cracks. I further sprayed the organic home pest control spray directly on them and then they crawled off to hide. The scent of this pest control spray is really nice, similar to lychees (I love lychees!) and doesn't have any chemical or toxic scent. After a few minutes, the scent completely disappears which is nice.

Fast forward a week later, I've noticed that the number of roaches I see in the morning have lessened, which in my conclusion is that this organic home pest spray works. I also tried spraying this around our door and window frame to keep other bugs like spiders out.

I love how I don't have to worry about this pest control spray being toxic and harmful since it's organic and all-natural. The scent is a plus and I like that it works as it should.

BriaUSA Fuchsia Pink Cascade Hangers Review

I've been given the chance to try several different types of hangers by BriaUSA already and I've loved every type of hangers they sent me. They offer durable and quality hangers which have a slim design but can hold even my coats. Recently, they sent me their Cascade Hanger in fuchsia pink color. Now, I am a person who loves pink so at first sight, I loved this hangers already.

The BriaUSA Cascade hangers is made of plastic and measures 17.5 x 0.2 x 9.5 inches. These are lightweight and has a slim design but they are sturdy. Both sides have a notched shoulder so that strappy dresses and shirts wouldn't fall off easily from the hanger.

The hangers also have a cute and vibrant fuchsia pink color.

There are hooks in the middle of the hangers which I use to keep the hangers together when not in use.

The metal hooks have a swivel design which helps me reposition the clothes easier when I hang them up. The slim swivel, cascading hooks also is a space saver.

I like using the BriaUSA Fuchsia Pink Cascade Hangers because they're slim and yet they can effectively hold my coat without bending. The slim design helps me save space on our closet and the sturdy and durable built of these hangers make them less prone to snapping in two. I also like how these can effectively keep my wide-shouldered tops in place.

These are nice, quality, durable hangers which works as they should.

6 Pack Glass And Hard Surface Cleaner By Greenwald's Review

I often use a glass cleaner to clean our mirrors, windows and glass doors because they often get dirty with smudges and hand prints from my daughters' hands. When I received the Glass and Hard Surface Cleaner by Greenwald's, I looked forward to trying it.

The Glass and Hard Surface Cleaner by Greenwald's arrived in a pack of 6 concentrated soluble packets. It is available in a kit which includes the soluble packs and a plastic spray bottle as well as just the soluble packets by itself.

I was sent the pack of 6 soluble packets of the Greenwald's Glass and Hard Surface Cleaner. I have a spare 32. oz. reusable spray bottle at home so I was able to try this out when I received these soluble packs. The instructions were printed on the back label of the packs. It is clear and easy to follow. :)

1. Drop one packet into a 32 ounce spray bottle. Do not cut the packet, it completely dissolves.
2. Fill with warm water.
3. Let sit for 60 seconds.
4. Gently shake.
5. It's cleaning attack time.

The Greenwald's Glass and Hard Surface Cleaner has a very subtle, light chlorine-like scent which is nice because I don't like cleaners with a harsh scent. After following the instructions on how to prepare the Greenwald's Glass and Hard Surface Cleaner, I tested it out on our sliding door, mirrors and windows.

The Greenwald's Glass and Hard Surface Cleaner is effective in removing smudges and hand prints on our sliding door, mirrors and windows.

I like that I didn't see any streaking when I used the Greenwald's Glass and Hard Surface Cleaner.

One of the things I love about the Greenwald's Glass and Hard Surface Cleaner is that because they come in a small concentrated soluble pack, I can easily store them. They don't take up too much space which is important because we only live in an apartment and space is limited. Unlike prepared cleaners in a bottle which would take too much space, I can store the Greenwald's Glass and Hard Surface Cleaner in a safe drawer.

I also like how easy it is to prepare the Greenwald's Cleaner because it easily and quickly the soluble pack dissolves. There are no harsh chemical scents which can be harmful to my family and is an effective glass cleaner which doesn't leave any streaks.

You can visit them on Youtube, Facebook or on their Website. You can also purchase this HERE.

Handy Panda Bungee Cord 24 Pc. Set Review + #Giveaway 6/1 US

When we're traveling, I like to keep our bags and things in place and secured. With 2 little girls in tow, of course I prefer to turn my attention to them and worry less about our bags and things. So, securing the bags and things makes it much more comfortable and convenient to travel.

When I received the Handy Panda Bungee Cord, I looked forward to trying them because it's almost summer season and every summer, we go pier fishing. We bring lots of stuffs, including our fishing poles, cooler, bags, snacks and a lot more! So, securing them in our car and while bringing them to and from the pier is a bit of a hassle.

Here is a quick product description from the company:

• - Cords and hooks do not break easily (60kN)
  - No chemical smell or odor that you could have experienced before
  - Perfect for holding your valuables in place
  - Hooks are designed to fit into most tarp holes
  - Durable hooks have useful notches to hold your bungee in place better

-- Eco-friendly materials with no bad scent
-- Use our cords to secure objects without tying knots and to absorb shock
-- Hold anything on your bike rack, in your garage or secure your luggage
-- Don't forget our handy plastic case that you can use for your needs

The Handy Panda Bungee Cord arrived in a hard plastic case. The 24 pc. set included the following:

The bungee cords are also a bit stretchy which is great because we can secure our bags and things securely because it would fit tightly over the things. The bungee cords are a bit heavy but I like how thick the cords are because they look durable as well. I wouldn't have to worry about cords snapping in two since these are thick.

There is an extra gift, the carabiner/measuring tape, which can be used to measure the bungee cord length needed to secure the bags/things. The pamphlet which came with it explains other ways to use these bungee cords which is also nice.

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.

You can purchase the PEVA Shower Curtain Liner by Smarty Pants Supplies on Amazon with free shipping if you are a Prime member. Use the code Z7R54WUU at checkout to get 20% off the PEVA Shower Curtain Liner! :)

Weight Gurus Bluetooth Smart Connected Body Fat Scale By Greater Goods Review

I've tried quite a few bathroom scales already and each bathroom scale I've tried is getting more high-tech than the previous one. I received Weight Gurus' Bluetooth Smart Scale and was so excited to try it. Why? Read on below. :)

As soon as I read the product description and what the Weight Gurus Bluetooth Smart Connected Body Fat Scale can do, I couldn't wait to put it to test. Of course I tried it to see how accurate their product description is.

The Weight Gurus Bluetooth Smart Connected Body Fat Scale by Greater Goods came in a black box with blue and white details. It came with a black digital scale, four AAA batteries and a user manual.

The Weight Gurus Bluetooth Smart Connected Body Fat Scale has a nice design. It has a big back-lit LCD screen which I like because I can see the display clearly.

Since I've signed up for Weight Gurus before in my tablet, I just had to download the app on my smartphone. Setting up the Weight Gurus Bluetooth Smart Connected Body Fat Scale is easy and the instructions were easy to follow. In about 3 minutes, I've connected my phone to the body fat scale and synced my account through bluetooth. The picture above are screen shots from my phone.

So what do I like about the Weight Gurus Bluetooth Smart Connected Body Fat Scale?

- The design of the scale is classy.
- So easy to use and sync. As long as the bluetooth in my phone is turned on and my Weight Gurus App is open, the weighing scale automatically syncs and sends my weight measurement to the Weight Gurus App on my phone when I step on the scale. I. LOVE. THIS!
- It's very accurate. How do I know? I tried to take my weight for a couple of times and it displayed the same weight.
- It has an auto-on (step on) and auto-off feature. I do have to recalibrate it every time I use it because I store it upright. Recalibrating is easy. I just step on the scale, let it take my weight, step off, wait for it to automatically turn off, then step on again. :)
- Can store up to 8 users. Hubby and I can track our own progress by having our own user profile and it automatically detects if it's me or hubby.
- Large Backlit LCD. I have poor eyesight (and it got worse!) and I like how I can see the display clearly.
- BIA (Bio-impedance Analysis) for Body Fat, Lean Mass, Water Weight and Bone Mass. I'm not sure how accurate this is but I am within normal range right now. Yay! :)

Am I amazed with the Weight Gurus Bluetooth Smart Connected Body Fat Scale? Definitely YES! It's currently the most high-tech digital weighing scale I've used and tried and I love it!

Manual Citrus Squeezer And Juicer By Priority Chef Review

Squeezing citrus fruits like lemons and oranges is hard. My grandmother used to have a conical shaped glass juicer before where she rotates the orange on the juicer. But for me, I just squeeze it by hand and most of the time, I don't have that much hand strength to fully squeeze the lemon/orange/lime.

Priority Chef sent me their Jumbo Manual Citrus Squeezer and this is honestly the first time I owned a manual squeezer.

The Manual Citrus Squeezer and Juicer by Priority Chef is made of unbreakable SS304 (18/10) strength stainless steel. This ensures that the squeezer won't rust or bend under pressure. The chamber of the squeezer is big and can accommodate lemons and limes easily and even smaller oranges.

I received the Manual Citrus Squeezer and Juicer by Priority Chef in a nice box. The first thing I noticed when I removed the juicer from the box was the quality of the steel used. It's thick making the squeezer a bit heavy.

I made a video to show you how the Priority Chef's Manual Citrus Squeezer and Juicer works:

Using the Priority Chef's Manual Citrus Squeezer and Juicer only has 4 steps.

1. Slice lemon in half. (I slice the top part of the lemon too, the one sticking out on both ends, because it makes it harder to squeeze the lemon).
2. Lift the top part of the squeezer.
2. Put half of the lemon slice side down on the chamber. (The one with holes)
3. Squeeze it by bringing the top part of the squeezer down and squeeze.  

After using the Priority Chef's Manual Citrus Squeezer and Juicer, here are my thoughts:
- I like the quality of the Priority Chef's Manual Citrus Squeezer and Juicer. It will last a long time and doesn't easily bend.
- Using the manual citrus squeezer and juicer needs a bit of hand strength. It's easier than squeezing by hand but still, it needs hand strength.
- It didn't squeeze out the pulp.
- The holes on the chamber filtered the seeds.
- It's easy to clean by hand.
- It's a bit big so it's bulky. Good thing I can hang it with the metal included in the squeezer.
- I squeezed the lemon effectively with no drops left behind the lemon.

The Priority Chef's Manual Citrus Squeezer and Juicer made squeezing easier rather than squeezing citrus fruits by hand. If you have problems in your wrist or have weak hand strength, then you might have a harder time using this.

Safely Clean Almost Any Surface In Your Home With Multi-Surface By EcoDiscoveries

As a mom of 2 girls who are 3 and 6, spills, mess and clean-ups are frequent in our home. Having a multi-surface cleaner is helpful for me to clean up their accidents and mess without the need for too many different products for different surfaces.

EcoDiscoveries sent me a variety of their eco-friendly cleaning solutions and I was super excited to try them. They sent me their Moldzyme, Multi-Surface, Airzyme and Harvest. For this review, I'll focus on their Multi-Surface product.

EcoDiscoveries’ Multi-Surface cleaner is a safe and effective solution for cleaning the many surfaces of your home. Its plant-based surfactants are powerful and diverse enough to clean up almost any mess on almost any surface. Oh the possibilities! Safe has countless sides.

It is very safe and is not expected to aggravate asthma or other allergies. Generally safe for use around pregnant women, children, the elderly and mild-moderate MCS.

The Multi-Purpose came in a small 2 oz. concentrated bottle and an empty white spray bottle. The instructions are very easy to follow to make the Multi-Purpose spray solution. I used our faucet-mounted water filter to fill the bottle with water. The level of water needed is a bit hard to estimate since the spray bottle included isn't clear so I had to peep inside the bottle once in a while to make sure the water is at the right level already.

The Multi-Purpose concentrate is colorless and clear and has a very light chlorine-like/bleach-like scent. I poured the concentrated Multi-Purpose in the spray bottle with water, covered it with the spray cover and then swirled/shook it to mix the solution properly.

The Multi-Surface is very effective in cleaning up our counters, tables, dining table, computer and TV screens, windows and sliding door. It doesn't leave any residue behind which is nice. The nozzle has a STOP button and 2 different spraying options.

This is such a time saver because I don't have to worry damaging different types of furniture and appliances when I use this. For electronics like our TV and computer screen/monitor, I spray it on the rag/paper towel first and then wipe it with the slightly damp rag/paper towel.

This is such a nice product and I like that the ingredients for the Multi-Surface is just water, biodegradable chelant, carbonate buffer, alkyl polyglucosides and other plant derived detergents.

Remove Residual Pesticide And Preserve Produce With Harvest By EcoDiscoveries

 How can you be sure that your produce, meaning fruits and veggies, are washed properly before you eat or cook them? Well, for me, I would put them under running water for 5 minutes and then proceed to eat or cook them. Is that an exaggeration? I'm not sure but I'd like to be sure that my family is safe from accidentally ingesting pesticides which can be harmful for our bodies. We can buy organic BUT it's more expensive and honestly, we don't have the budget to go "all organic".

I never have tried a vegetable wash before and was quite excited when I got to try one.

EcoDiscoveries sent me a variety of their eco-friendly cleaning solutions and I was super excited to try them. They sent me their Moldzyme, Multi-Surface, Airzyme and Harvest. For this review, I'll focus on their Harvest product.

Harvest is an all-natural food wash + preservative. All of the ingredients of Harvest are considered GRAS by the FDA and it is certified by the USDA as a “Biopreferred” product. It not only washes away residual pesticides, but it also increases the shelf-life of produce. Moreover, Harvest’s ability to get rid of chemicals and other contaminants makes this the perfect product for anyone living with chemical sensitivities or an otherwise compromised immune system.

It is extremely safe and is not expected to aggravate asthma or other allergies. Generally safe for use around pregnant women, children, the elderly, and those with mild-severe MCS or otherwise compromised immune systems.

The Harvest came in a small 2 oz. concentrated bottle and an empty white spray bottle. The instructions are very easy to follow to make the Harvest solution. I used our faucet-mounted water filter to fill the bottle with water. The level of water needed is a bit hard to estimate since the spray bottle included isn't clear so I had to peep inside the bottle once in a while to make sure the water is at the right level already.

The Harvest concentrate has a clear light brown color and has a very light odd scent which I can't describe. It doesn't smell like chemicals and doesn't smell irritating so that made me a bit more confident of using this. I poured the concentrated Harvest in the spray bottle with water, covered it with the spray cover and then swirled/shook it to mix the solution properly.

I tried this on different kinds of fruits like grapes, apples, and persimmon as well as vegetables like cauliflower, broccoli, carrots and lots more. What I did was I sprayed our fruits and vegetables with the Harvest until they're soaked, wiped the fruit/vegetable to remove visible particles and then just ran them down under running water for less than a minute. This saved me from running my produce under water for 5 minutes.

The fruits and vegetables were odorless and didn't have any weird taste after I used the Harvest on them. How can I be sure if the Harvest worked to remove residual pesticides? I can't really prove it but I researched a bit on how produce wash helps remove pesticides so here's my explanation.

Pesticides are made up of complex oil based molecules which are primarily water insoluble. Water insoluble means they cannot be rinsed by water alone since they are not soluble in water. Surfactants, Harvest ingredients contains plant-derived surfactants, reduce the surface tension of the pesticides and help remove them by loosening these oil based molecules so they can be easily rinsed away.

So, can I prove it? No, because pesticides aren't visible on produce. But since Harvest contains plant derived surfactants, I think it helps in removing pesticides.

Freshen And Deodorize Air And Fabric With Airzyme By EcoDiscoveries

I often use an air freshener to remove scents of fried fish in our home. Hubby loves grilling, baking, broiling and frying different kinds of fish so our home would often smell fishy. I also have problems with our neighbor smoking. We live in an apartment complex and the people living above or below us (I'm not sure who) smokes everyday at different times of the day. Our windows are open so by the time I smell the cigarette smoke coming through our window, I would close them fast but the scent of the cigarette smoke has already entered our home. The scent kind of lingers and my daughters have allergies so what I do is I turn on the electric fans and the vents (to our bathroom) to remove the cigarette smoke scent quickly.

When EcoDiscoveries sent me a variety of their eco-friendly cleaning solutions, I was super excited to try them. They sent me their Moldzyme, Multi-Surface, Airzyme and Harvest. For this review, I'll focus on their Airzyme product.

Ecodiscoveries' Airzyme is an enzymatic air and fabric deodorizer. Its unique blend of enzymes is perfect for removing organic odors as well as smoke and other contaminants in the air.

It is extremely safe and is not expected to aggravate asthma or other allergies. Generally safe for use around pregnant women, children, the elderly, and those with mild-severe MCS or otherwise compromised immune systems.

The Airzyme came in a small 2 oz. concentrated bottle and an empty white spray bottle. The instructions are very easy to follow to make the Airzyme solution. I used our faucet-mounted water filter to fill the bottle with water. The level of water needed is a bit hard to estimate since the spray bottle isn't clear and I had to peep inside the bottle once in a while to make sure the water is at the right level already.

The Airzyme has a clear brown color and has a subtle and light chlorine-like smell (similar to the Moldzyme). I poured the concentrated Airzyme in the spray bottle with water, covered it with the spray cover and then swirled/shook it to mix the solution properly.

The spray mouth can be rotated to STOP and to 2 different spray settings. The bottle is reusable and recyclable.

I tried this out when hubby cooked fish. It eliminated the odor fast and I like how it didn't give the fragrance of the air fresheners I use but effectively eliminated the fishy odor. I also tried to use this as soon as I smelled the scent of cigarette smoke and it effectively removed the cigarette smoke scent faster than usual.

What I like about this is that it's all-natural and safe for kids and pregnant women. I honestly do like air fresheners with fragrance but I also like how the Airzyme works. It doesn't have any fragrance but makes the fishy and smoke scents gone.
