Tweez'em Stainless Steel Precision Tweezers by Majestic Bombay


Tweez'em Stainless Steel Precision Tweezers by Majestic Bombay

 

 

These tweezers by "Majestic Bombay" include a plastic protective pouch and plastic tip-guard as shown in the photo. 

They are made of stainless steel, have pointed ends and are very sharp.  They are precise, and great for removing splinters, ingrown hairs and more. 

Using the pointed tip style took a little getting used too for me but I do like these tweezers and they come in handy quite often.

Gurin Professional Rechargeable Flosser with High Capacity Water Tank


Gurin Professional Rechargeable Flosser with High Capacity Water Tank

 

The Gurin Professional Rechargeable Flosser comes with high quality rechargeable batteries that are powerful and hold a great charge.  Upon receiving my Gurin flosser I plugged it into a wall unit and allowed it to fully charge.  It is very simple to charge this flosser with the included plug.  The rechargeable batteries are built into the unit and the included cord plugs into the front of the flosser at the bottom and the other end into a standard plug.  A light comes on and blinks on the front of the flosser when it is in the charging mode.  Once charged, unplug the charger cord from the outlet and the flosser.  It is now ready to use and no cords are in the way.

 

This flosser features an extra large 16.9 oz removable reservoir and is easy to fill.  It can also be filled without removing the reservoir simply by lifting the easy access lid located just behind the nozzle.  This is my preferred way to fill the flosser by holding it under running water from the faucet.  Since my teeth are a bit sensitive, I use warm water to fill my flosser. I also add a bit of mouthwash into the water reservoir as well.  The Gurin flosser has 3 settings: Normal, Soft and Pulse. 

 

I learned very early on when using my flosser, that I need to select that setting first before turning on the power button.  The first time I used it I turned on the unit without it being in my mouth and then tried to select the setting....lol.  The mirror, the wall and I got sprayed pretty good before I could push the power button again to turn the unit off.  This flosser definitely has a lot of water pressure! 

 

When I tried it again, I chose the setting first, then put the nozzle in my mouth, then turned on the power.  It works wonderfully!  Now that I learned how to use it correctly, nothing gets sprayed with water except my teeth.  This is so much faster, easier and thoroughly cleansing than using regular floss and the proof can be seen by paying attention to what comes out in the sink while using this water flosser. 
It is surprising what can be left behind in your mouth that string flossing can miss or can't reach that this water flosser tackles with no problem and in a hurry. 

 

Included with the flosser are 2 color coded interchangeable nozzles so the unit can be used by more than one person.  I certainly appreciate how well this flosser works and how much cleaner and healthier my teeth look and feel.  I do recommend this product for dental hygiene and care.

Pro Chef Kitchen Tools Laundry Clothesline Hanging Rack


 Pro Chef Kitchen Tools Laundry Clothesline Hanging Rack

I chose to order the oval style in this unique hanging rack and I love it. The hanger arrived in a collapsed flat state and once I opened the package it was as simple as lifting the hanger hook and the rack was ready to use.  No complicated assembly whatsoever. 
 
It is made of stainless steel and has 18 attached clothespins which do have a tight grip and can hold a good amount of weight.  Approximate measurement of the frame is 13.5" x 10" with the height being aprox 14" from top of the hanger hook to the bottom of the clothespins.  This hanger will hold 18 smaller garments and several large size garments.  It is perfect to hang over the shower or on a patio to hang swimsuits to dry.  Also useful for items that cannot be put into the dryer like intimate apparel, hosiery, etc.  Use in the laundry room or hang in a closet, hang outside and latch the safety lock to prevent wind or breezes from making it fall.  The hook swivels so it will turn smoothly when rotating. The hanging rack easily collapses flat for storage or travel without tangling issues.  Simple and easy to use and extremely versatile.  This rack is well designed and built sturdy to be durable through repeated long term use.  No plastic parts to break and all around great quality.  This item is a space saver, time saver, money saver and I highly recommend it.  I am enjoying my new hanging rack and I will probably order a second one to use for my arts and crafts.

NOTE: *I did not take my normal multivitamin and supplements when trying this product, because this product has those already included* I wish there were more than 3 packets provided to test for a better idea of results with the product.

This protein powder is packed with an amazing list of healthy ingredients and has a great taste in my opinion. I mixed mine with unsweetened almond milk and added a banana and it tasted nice and chocolatey and was filling.

Elleda 50x strength Hyaluronic Acid


 

Elleda 50x strength Hyaluronic Acid

 
 
Elleda 50x strength Hyaluronic Acid comes in a 0.5 oz bottle with pump dispenser. The pump makes it easy to control how much product is dispensed so there is less of a chance of wasting any of the product.  This serum is thin and goes on quite smoothly.  There is no noticable odor to this product and it is clear.  A little goes a long way, it only takes a drop or two to completely cover the face and neck area.  It starts absorbing into the skin as it is applied but takes a while to completely soak in, for me about half an hour.  It leaves a shine at first and then that fades into a healthy glow.  The skin feels softened and moisturized.  I have not experienced any adverse reactions while using this product and it works well with other products.  Using a moisturizer after this serum boosts the moisturizing affects. 

The packaging for this product is rather plain and simple.  I like the serum itself but the sticker on the bottle is bubbled and not adhered well.  The packaging and sticker just don't do this product justice and it really could stand some improvements.  This is constructive criticism because first impressions are important.  All in all I do like the product and have had good results with it so far. 
 
Although the packaging needs improvements, I am rating this serum five stars, because the company and product may be in it's infancy and possibly may be working on improvements in the appearance of their bottle already.  So to be fair, the product is great, regardless of the exterior and I recommend it.

US Art Supply Easel Box Set with Acrylic Paint Kit


 

US Art Supply Easel Box Set with Acrylic Paint Kit


 
  • Table Box Easel with Drawer - Size: 13 3/8"   Wide X 10 1/4" Deep X 2" High 
  • 12 - 12ml Acrylic Paint Tubes
  • 3 - 9"x12" Canvas Panels
  • 4-Brushes (#2,#4,#6,#8)
  • 16-Well Plastic Palette
  • HB Pencil
  • Plastic Palette Knife

  •  
    This unique art kit comes with the basic art supplies needed to get started creating your own beautiful art.
     
    This kit is unique because the wooden case is not only a storage box with carrying handle, but there is also an easel built into the top with a latch closure.  When the easel is unlatched and lifted, there are notches underneath which allow you to adjust it to different levels by placing the hinged wooden prop where you need it. There is a pull out drawer with double latch closure which holds the paints, brushes, HB pencil, palette knife and 16-well palette. There are also 4 small rubber "feet" at the bottom of the box to help stabilize the box and prevent it from slipping.
     
    PLEASE NOTE: The drawer is tight and rather awkward to slide open or closed the first time, because of the plastic packaging insert that the paints are shipped inside of for protection.  Once the paints are removed from this "plastic insert", and laid flat into the drawer rather than at a slight angle in that plastic insert, the drawer will then open and close properly with no issues. *Also make sure the brushes are seated properly into the drawer and not getting hung when opening and closing since a couple of the brushes have long handles.  Personally I do not store the brushes inside the drawer after using, I prefer to store mine in a bag with other supplies. 
    This kit is perfect for starting out as a beginner or fun for the more advanced artist.  My daughter is an art and graphic design student in college and when she saw this kit she mentioned that it would be quite handy in some of her projects and assignments and it would be easy to carry.  I'm sure I will give it to her after I'm finished with one or two paintings....or maybe three.

    "Olympic" European International Chess Set - 16.5"


    "Olympic" European International Chess Set - 16.5"

     
    This is quite an interesting and beautiful chess set.  First of all I have never seen a set in which the board itself is the carrying case to hold all of the pieces inside.  The chess sets that I have had over the years have been very plain in comparison to this set.
     
    There are latches that hold the case shut and inside there is a felted plastic type insert which houses each game piece in it's own individually shaped slot.

    I love the craftsmanship and hand carved detail on the game pieces and the game board.  The game board is made of beech and birch wood and the chessmen are made from hormbeam and sycamore.
     
    The game pieces each have green felt on the bottom for protection of the game board to prevent scratches.  I consider the set to have an exquisite look because of the detail work and the rich finish. I am thrilled to have this unique chess set and I am sure it will bring many hours of enjoyment for our family for years to come.
