4 Pack Silicone Squeezable Bottles From Bocco Review


When we travel, I prefer to bring travel-sized products to save space in our bag and luggage. Yes, travel size products are more convenient to bring but compared to the full-sized products, they're more expensive. When I discovered the reusable silicone bottles, I loved them because they're the perfect size to bring when traveling as well as using them saves me money.

I was sent the Bocco 4 Pack Silicone Squeezable Bottles and I looked forward to trying it. Here is a quick product description from the company:

Bocco Squeezable Travel Bottles are designed to give you a peace of mind when traveling:
Food Grade Squeezable Silicone - Soft yet durable silicone construction helps avoid wasting product, allowing you to get every last drop. Squeeze and release to get exactly how much you want without globs of excess oozing out. 
Leak Proof Technology - 3 leak-proof cap wall and no dip valve to prevent leaks and spills
ID Window - Adjustable, labeled rim identifies product contents. Conveniently labeled Shampoo, Conditioner, Lotion, Soap, and Sunscreen. 3 blank labels for you to write product contents.

Built-In Suction Cup -Temporarily attach to smooth surfaces such as hotel tiles for easy reach in the shower. Moisten suction cup for better holding power.
NEW & IMPROVED Clear Reusable Travel Pouch with Zipper Closure- No more digging around for a Ziploc bag.
100% BPA Free & FDA Approved- Safe for food use. It's purpose goes beyond traveling. Use around the kitchen to store Sauces or Baby Food. Fill them up with your favorite toiletries to bring along to the Gym, Work, Camping or in your Purse
 The Bocco 4-Pack Silicon Squeezable Bottles arrived in a zippered plastic container. There were several sets available with different colors and I was able to choose the set I wanted. I chose the one with the colors blue, orange, green and purple.

Each silicone bottle has a 3 oz. capacity and each have a smooth, silicone, rubbery feel. The twist cover of each bottle seals the bottles effectively so that it's leak-proof.
 Each bottle also has a small suction cup at the back which effectively holds the bottles on tiled surfaces or mirrors. The suction cup doesn't hold the bottle for a long time but at least if I'm using it, I can just use the suction cup to keep it upright.
The opening of each bottle is designed to be leak-proof as well. It doesn't dispense liquid unless I squeeze the main body of the bottle. I love this feature because I don't have to worry about products like shampoo, toothpaste, conditioner, etc. to leak while the bottle is inverted.

I also like that these bottles came in a set of 4 because I am able to refill it with different products. They are reusable as well which is great because I am able to save money as well. I can just buy full-sized products and refill these bottles instead of buying the travel-size ones.

These silicone bottles are also durable and doesn't break easily. The silicone material makes the bottles a bit floppy when empty but when there's products inside, the bottle stand upright with no problems. I love these bottles and works as they should.

Scented Pink Lightning To USB Cable From MobileEsprit Review


I've been given the chance to try several lightning to USB cable by MobileEsprit in the past and recently, I was given the chance to try their scented pink lightning to USB cable. What I love about the charging cables from MobileEsprit is that they're unique and cute. All of the cables I've tried from them also doesn't give an error message when I charge my iPad mini.
 The MobileEsprit's scented pink lightning to USB cable has a nice, metallic pink colored cord. It has a nice, subtle, rose scent which I can only smell when I place it under my nose.
This charging cable is approximately 1 meter in length. This is a nice length for me because I can easily position my device properly on higher places like a desk or table.

What matters to me is that this charging cable doesn't give any error messages when I charge my iPad mini. No matter how cute any charging cable is, if it gives an error message when I charge my iPad mini, then I wouldn't use it.

The scented pink lightning to USB cable from MobileEsprit works as it should and I like the added cute color and scent.

Chess Armory 15 Inch Wooden Chess Set Review


Do you play chess? Hubby does but I'm not good at it. When I received the Chess Armory 15 Inch Wooden Chess Set, I looked forward to showing it to hubby. Here is a quick product description from the company:

Beautiful 15" x 15" Wooden Folding Chess Set. The inlaid wood chess set comes with felted interior storage for the pieces. Clasps are designed to now over hang and scratch the surface of the table being played on. Pieces are hand carved Staunton style and feature a 3" King.
The Chess Armory 15 Inch Wooden Chess Set arrived in a black box. It has a foldable wood chess board. I like the smooth, polished finish of the chess board because it looked classic and lovely. The chess board has 2 metal clasps to keep the chess board closed.
Inside, the board is lined with felt and each chess piece is held by a black garter.
There is also a small instruction booklet explaining how to position the chess pieces and the rules of the game. For those who aren't that familiar with chess, like me, it's nice that there's a short instruction booklet too get familiarized with the rules and how to play chess.
The chess pieces are made of wood and I like how they are carved. Each chess piece's bottom is also lined with felt. They are lightweight and the felt underneath helps this stay upright.

The Chess Armory 15 Inch Wooden Chess Set is really nice and it's good that this can be folded so that it can be brought on the go.

Oleavine All Natural Therapeutic Soap With Tea Tree And Neem Oil Review


I recently noticed an increase in my back acne and pimples maybe because I started waking up at 2:30 am to go to work. Even before, I would get pimples and acne on my back and face when I wake up too early to go to school so it has started again. I decided to give the Oleavine all-natural therapeutic soap with tea tree and neem oil instead of my normal body wash because I am familiar with the acne-fighting property of tea tree oil. Here is a quick product description from the company:

ORGANIC & NATURAL INGREDIENTS (NO HARMFUL CHEMICALS) NO Preservatives, Thickeners, Detergents, Petroleum, Silicone, Synthetic Fragrance or Dyes.

CONCENTRATED VALUE SIZE – Rich Foaming Action and Concentrated Liquid Solution Formula Means a Little Goes a Long Way. Ideal for Athletes. Can be Used as an Effective Foot Soak.

The Oleavine all-natural therapeutic soap with tea tree and neem oil arrived in a dark green 12 oz. plastic bottle. It was sealed inside so I had to remove the seal first. It has a nice, minty fresh scent which I liked. The soap has a clear, runny texture which is somewhat different from my current body wash, which has a gel-like texture.
The Oleavine All Natural Therapeutic Soap with Tea Tree and Neem Oil doesn't lather as much as my other body wash but my skin feels clean and fresh afterwards. It has this cooling sensation which isn't uncomfortable and for me, is actually rather calming and refreshing. It rinses off easily and doesn't leave any residue on my skin.

I noticed that after using this, my skin doesn't feel and look dry. After a week of using this, I also noticed that the acne and pimples on my back has been reduced.

I like the Oleavine Therapeutic Soap and I like that it works as it should.

Sunsella Bento Lunch Boxes Review


Hubby brings packed lunch daily to work because he prefers to eat home cooked meals. He already has a lunch box but I was excited when I received the Sunsella Bento Lunch Boxes because his current lunch box only has a single compartment. The Sunsella Bento Lunch Boxes arrived in a nice box. It contained the following:
- 4 Sunsella Bento Lunch Boxes with 3 compartments
- 4 different colored lids
 
Here is a quick product description from the company:
  • Child-friendly, easy-open lids (WARNING: NOT leakproof).
  • Premium quality, BPA, phthalate and lead free, highly durable, meets FDA standards.
  • Microwave, dishwasher and freezer safe. Conveniently stack together for space saving storage.
  • Save money on sandwich bags & plastic wrap. Great for color-coding lunches for the whole family.
  • Dimensions: Length 9.5 x width 6.2 x height 2.2 inches - 1st compartment: 3 1/2 cups, 2nd compartment: 1 1/3 cups, 3rd compartment: 1 cup.
I like that these lunch boxes have 3 compartments. Hubby's food can be separated into each compartment. The biggest one is perfect for his rice while the smaller 2 compartments can be used for his meat and veggies.

I also like that these are microwave safe and are easy to clean. The lids shut tight closely but is not leak-proof. If kept upright, like what he does since he has a lunch bag, then the sauce wouldn't leak outside the box.

I like how easy to use these lunch boxes are and how scent of certain food doesn't stick on the lunch box. They are also stackable and I like the different colored lids because I can designate a certain color for my hubby and daughters.

MY REVIEW:

Ever since I've learned about RFID blocking sleeves, I made sure that me and hubby has one for each of our cards. Why? Because I like that it gives me security over those who steal identity through skimming. When I received the RFID Blocking Sleeves from Blockit RFID Products, I was excited to try it because these have a designer pattern.

I received the pink zebra striped pattern and as soon as I saw it, I liked it. The material is similar to a cardboard and the inside is lined with a silver-colored material. The opening of these sleeves are on top and for me, it's more convenient to slide my card in and out of the sleeve.

I like the thicker material of the RFID blocking sleeves because it's much less prone to folds. I also like that I am ensured and at peace that my information and cards are safe from those who skim cards. Even though it's a bit thick, I don't have a hard time putting it in and out of my wallet.

This works as it should and I like that they come in different patterns.

Stainless Steel Drinking Cups From Pratico Outdoors Review


 When I was younger, we had stainless steel cups at home because they were durable and doesn't break even when accidentally dropped. What I remember was, they would often retain the scent or taste of juices and soda even after getting washed. For flavored drinks, it's not a problem but when I use it for water, then there is a certain taste and scent on the cup from the flavored drinks.

When I received the Stainless steel cups from Pratico Outdoors, I looked forward to trying it because it reminded me of the stainless steel cups we used to use when I was younger. Here is a short product description from the company:

✔ DRINK WITHOUT TOXINS - Each Pratico Outdoor's Clean Steel cup is made from premium food-grade 18/8 stainless steel which means NO BPA and NO TOXINS
✔ STRONG AND DURABLE - Each Clean Steel cup is electropolished to add additional rust protection and is reyclable, super strong, and dishwasher safe. Guaranteed to provide years of problem-free use
✔ PERFECT FOR ALL OCCASIONS - Clean Steel can be used as a great replacement anywhere you might use plastic drinking cups or glasses - camping, backpacking, traveling, outdoor events, hiking, and more
✔ SET OF 2 STACKABLE PINT GLASSES - Keep one 1 at home and 1 at the office - 2 tumblers with 16 oz of space ensures you always have a toxin-free drinking experience when you want it

The stainless steel cups from Pratico Outdoors came in a set of 2. I was impressed by how thick these cups are and how nice they look. They have a chrome finish and looks durable.
The rims were polished smooth so I don't have to worry about the rims scraping my lips.

I like how these cups keep drinks cooler or warmer longer. I also like how easy they are to clean. I've used this on coffee, milk, juice, and other flavored drinks and I like how these doesn't retain the taste and scent of flavored drinks. I also like that these doesn't easily topple over because of the 2.2 inch diameter base.

These cups are high quality and durable so they would last a long time.
