NiTex P-200 Nitrile Foam Coated Gloves By Advanced Gloves Review

ABOUT THE PRODUCT:

Believe us when we say that the NiTex P-200 is the best overall work glove on the market today. Its tight fit provides the tactile sensitivity needed for even the most delicate of tasks while it's revolutionary nitrile-foam coating provides breathbility and long-lasting grip.

It's the glove of choice for all general workers including but not limited to: plumbers, electricians, warehouse employees, construction workers, USPS employees, HVAC workers, and so on.

Need a P-200 but also need to make sure you stay visible? Get a pair of NiTex P-12's and get all the benefits of having a P-200 with the added visibility.

Common applications: the P-200 and P-12 are great general work gloves and have been used in construction, manufacturing, electrical, HVAc, plumbing, automotive, engineering and even quilting. Use them for anything, as long as it is not a high-heat situation.

The NiTex P-200 Nitrile Foam Coated Gloves has a snug fit which I really like. It doesn't feel uncomfortable and I like how I can still grip and turn papers and hold small things without difficulty. It is warm to wear during winter months but doesn't make my hands sweat (I have a bit of sweaty hands). One thing I don't like about wearing gloves is the "weird gloved feeling" on my hands but the NiTex P-200 is comfortable BUT not stylish, okay maybe a bit stylish in its own way. I can wear this when I drive and gives me a firm grip on the steering wheel.

I like this pair of gloves and I like the comfort and warmth it gives me. It may not be stylish but it's great for everyday use. It's durable and haven't loosened up yet.

80% HCA Garcinia Cambogia Supplement By Nature's Supplement Review

Ever since I've heard about Garcinia Cambogia, I was super excited to try it. Honestly, I don't believe in miracle weight loss pills, you know the one where you lose weight just by taking it without doing or changing anything in your diet, but I can honestly say that weight loss pills help me by giving me extra energy and helping me curb my cravings and hunger. So, I take Garcinia Cambogia, not to miraculously make me lose weight, but to HELP me in losing weight. Meaning, I take it with exercise and slight diet modification. :)

First of all, let me give you a background of what the Garcinia Cambogia fruit is. Here is a description by Nature's Supplement:

Garcinia Cambogia is a small, green pumpkin shaped fruit that grows in parts of Southeast Asia, India, and Africa. The active ingredient in the Garcinia Cambogia extract is in the rind of the fruit which has a large amount of natural substance called Hydroxycitric Acid (HCA), the substance that produces the weight loss effects.

What is HCA?

HCA suppresses appetite by increasing serotonin levels. Low levels of serotonin is linked to depression and anxiety, which drive people to eat emotionally.  As your serotonin level rises, your mood improves and lessens the drive to reach for food during emotional situations.  Nature's Supplement curbs appetite and suppresses appetite without the effects of any jitters.

Here are some guidelines when buying Garcinia CAmbogia supplements:

• Make sure the supplement clearly marks at least 50% HCA.  Currently Nature's Supplement's Garcinia Cambogia has 80% and is the highest standardized HCA level on the market.

• Make sure it doesn’t contain any artificial ingredients, binders, or fillers.  Nature's Supplement garcinia cambogia is 100% pure and contains ZERO fillers.

• Make sure it’s 3rd Party Certified.  While there is no regulatory agency to test and prove whether a certain capsule really contains Garcinia or not, knowing that it's 3rd Party Certified will guarantee the active ingredient is present in the capsule. 

The Garcinia Cambogia Supplement by Nature's Supplement arrived in a white plastic bottle. Each bottle has 120 veggie capsules and is good for a month supply. The directions were to take 2 capsules twice daily (not to exceed 4 capsules in 24 hours) so I take two capsules in the morning and 2 capsules an hour before I exercise at night. I like the veggie capsule form because I find them easier to swallow compared to oblong pills.

What I like about taking this is that I don't experience any negative side effects like upset stomachs. I also like how it doesn't have any after-taste. It helps me curb my sweet cravings and hunger pains as well as give me extra energy to efficiently and effectively finish my workout at night. I really think this helps me in losing weight because I eat less and I crave sweets less throughout the day. This is a nice weight loss supplement but I wouldn't rely solely on this to lose weight.

Ovulation and Pregnancy Test Kit By Easy@Home Review

I track my menstrual cycle using a period tracker app on my phone and I have a regular cycle ever since I started menstruating. Conceiving isn't a problem for me, which I'm thankful about, but other women have problems with conceiving and I think the Easy@Home Ovulation Test Kit and Pregnancy Test Kit is a nice method to accurately test my ovulation day.

The Easy@Home Ovulation Test Kit contains 50 Ovulation Test Strips and 20 Pregnancy Test Strips.

Each test kit is contained in a sealed plastic packet and is color coded. The blue packet is the Ovulation Test Kit while the pink packet is the Pregnancy Test Kit. Both kits have the same directions. The urine level shouldn't go beyond the black line and should only be dipped in urine for 3 seconds. Results should be read within 3 to 5 minutes and not beyond that time.

The pregnancy test kit works by detecting the levels of hCG hormone (Human Chorionic Gonadotropin) in women. The hCG hormone is produced and present in women after implantation. The Easy@Home Pregnancy Kit can detect hCg levels as low as 25 mlU/ml.

Just a tip: hCG shouldn't be present in non-pregnant females and males. Presence of the hCG hormone in non-pregnant females and males can indicate some kind of cancer. When I was in college, I remember learning that the presence of hCG hormone in males can mean that they have testicular cancer. So the hCG test can also be used for a tumor marker test.

Anyway, I just shared something which I learned back when I was in college and I hope you learned something from that. :) Moving on.

Above is a photo of how the test strip should be read.

The ovulation test kit works by measuring the LH (leutinizing hormone) surge. The LH surge happens 24 to 48 hours before ovulation. On the test strip above, I got a faint line from my first test. I repeated it 6 hours later and got a darker line band. I knew the test was accurate because aside from the dark band, I'm having increased secretions and the yolk-like stretchy secretion the day after I used the test strip.

I like how accurate these test strips are and I think the only thing missing are the small plastic test cups for the urine.

The Ultimate Travel Pillow by AirComfy Review

Traveling, specially long trips, can be a pain in my neck as well as my back. I often get a stiff neck specially when I sleep during a long trip. I also have a lower back problem so blogging and sitting for longer periods of time makes my back ache.

The Ultimate Travel Pillow by AirComfy made my neck feel wonderful even when we're on a long trip and it helped my back a lot.

Here is a quick product description:

• RELAX UPRIGHT COMFORTABLY - Our superior design keeps your head upright, preventing unpleasant kinks and strains caused by tilting your neck to the side. This low-profile support makes it ideal for use as a neck pillow for sleeping on the go.
• ATTACH IT TO HEADREST - Our elastic band holds the neck pillow in place, so you can move around without losing that comfortable placement. It is ideal for airplanes or as an everyday car pillow-providing you more support than a standard headrest.
• PACKS FOR TRAVEL - Weighing less than half a pound, you won't have to worry about a heavy pillow that takes up too much space. This inflatable pillow compresses into an enclosed packsack, and can clip onto your carryon using the attached carabiner.
• ADJUST THE SIZE - Everyone's different, so we've made our pillow adjustable to your personal preference! Open the air valve to allow it to self-inflate, and if desired you can manually inflate it to be firmer or release air to make it softer. Our luxurious interior foam gives you support without the bouncy, hollow feeling you get from some inflatable pillows.
• LUMBAR BACK PILLOW - Have you ever been on a plane or long road trip, and your back starts to ache from lack of support from the lower seat back? You can also use your AirComfy as a lumbar pillow and simply adjust it to provide the lower back support you need!

The Ultimate Travel Pillow by AirComfy came in a pouch for storage. The pillow has a velvety feel and a valve for inflation. It has a garter strap at the back to keep the pillow in place. Below is a summary of what I thought about the Ultimate Travel Pillow by AirComfy.

- I like the velvety soft texture of the AirComfy pillow.
- The pillow is supposed to self-inflate when I open the valve but the pillow I received didn't self-inflate. I had to blow into the valve to inflate the pillow. It only took me less than a minute to inflate it and wasn't that hard so that's fine by me.
- I can manually adjust the softness of firmness of the pillow by deflating/adding more air into it.
- This is a great pillow for back support. Since I have a lower back problem and sitting for a longer period of time makes my back ache, this pillow fits perfectly on my lower back and supports it. I like how I can strap it behind my computer chair to keep it from moving.
- I like the groove in the middle because my neck can rest comfortably. It helps prevent stiff necks specially during long trips.
- It's lightweight so I can bring it easily.
- It deflates easily.

This is such a nice traveling pillow and my daughters like using it too. I like to use it to support my lower back too because it helps.

Super Bright Rim Lights By Speed Racer Review

Hubby goes biking to work because his workplace is just a mile from our home. Since it's winter, it becomes dark very early so by the time he goes home, it's dark already. He has a nice bike light (both in front and at the back) but has had 2 instances when a right-turning car bumped his rear bike wheel. Good thing he wasn't hurt during these 2 instances so I was glad when I had the chance to review the Super Bright Rim Lights by Speed Racer.

The Super Bright Rim Lights by Speed Racer has 3 different colors available. The LED lights work by a motion sensor and ensures durability along with 50,000 hours of battery life. The LED wheel flash light is attached to the valve stem on the bike wheels. Each package includes a 2 x green light, 2 x blue light and 2 x colorful LED valve bike lights. These are 100% waterproof and usable through any terrain.

The Super Bright Rim Lights by Speed Racer arrived in a resealable plastic bag. Each light came with a paper inside the battery compartment to preserve battery life. I had to remove each paper to make the lights work. Hubby installed it and he placed them easily.

The rim lights lighted up with little movement. They were sensitive enough to light up when the wheels of hubby's bike turned. They also automatically turned off when his bike wheels were not moving. I like how bright they were at night because it made him more visible to cars. It rained here in SoCal a few days ago and the lights still worked after being soaked in the rain. These are nice quality bike lights and I like how hubby can ride his bike safer at night.

Kleenex Brand Believers #Crowdtap #KleenexBrandBelievers

When I was younger, my grandmother always has a box of Kleenex in her. Back then, the variety of Kleenex was based on how many ply there are in each sheet. Today, I am excited to share with you 2 newer varieties of Kleenex I received from Crowdtap and Kleenex. The Kleenex Tissue with Lotion and the Kleenex Anti-Viral Tissue.

The Kleenex Tissue with Lotion, based on the title I think you can guess what's added to the tissue *wink*, has been added with lotion. It's very soft, is unscented and very absorbent. It keeps my daughters' noses clean and doesn't cause excessive dryness and chaffing around their noses.

The next one is the Kleenex Anti-Viral Tissue. This is a new product and I am quite excited to see how this works because it's a 3-ply facial tissue and the middle layer is moisture activated and kills 99.9% of cold flu and viruses within 15 minutes.

I took a picture of the middle layer of the Kleenex Anti-Virus and it has some blue spots/beads on the tissue.

The Kleenex Anti-Virus is unscented and has a super soft texture and despite the super soft texture, it is durable and effective in cleaning dirty noses. It doesn't cause excessive dryness or chaffing around the noses of my daughters even after prolonged use.

Because I don't see how the middle layer works or how it kills the viruses, I cannot say if it does kill the viruses but I trust Kleenex since my grandmother trusted it too. :)

Thanks so much Crowdtap and Kleenex for sending me these 2 boxes of Kleenex! :)

Avasa Bikram Hot Yoga Towel Review

I workout and exercise at home so I use a yoga mat for my floor exercises. The problem with yoga mats is that when I start sweating, the surface becomes a bit slippery so doing planks and push-ups becomes a bit more difficult because of my sweat. So my solution is to put a non-slip yoga towel on top of my mat so that it'll absorb my sweat.

AVASA sent me their Bikram Hot Yoga Towel to try and I was super excited to try it.

Let me share with you a short product description:

- Designed with the Yogi in mind: To Increase Traction and Reduce Slipping
- Material is made of the 100% microfiber, making it ideal for Maximum Sweat Absorption and Quick Drying. High -quality stitching and material tested for long lasting Durability.
- Machine Washable and Dryer Safe. 24" x 72" Dimension to fit the standard Yoga size mat.
- Perfect for Bikram, Vinyasa Yoga, and Pilates. It's light-weight and compact form factor makes it great for using it by the pool, traveling, or hanging by the beach.

The Avasa Bikram Hot Yoga Towel has a very soft feel and has a very pretty purple color. It fits perfectly on top of my yoga mat. I like how absorbent it is because it helps keep my hands from slipping once I start sweating. The slip-resistant bottom helps in keeping the towel in place thus it helps me to keep my balance. It's very light and easy to carry around. I've washed it a couple of times already and it has neither shrunk nor did the color fade.

This is a nice and quality yoga towel and I love it.
