Wholefood Multivitamin From Evergreen Nature Review


Evergreen_Nature_Wholefood_Multivitamin.jpg
Taking multivitamins is something that I hope to do religiously because I know that they'll be beneficial to my health in the long run. The problem is, I sometimes forget to take them because I was never the type to always remember taking supplements daily. When I received the Evergreen Nature's Wholefood Multivitamin, I looked forward to trying it and see how it would work for me.

The Evergreen Nature's Wholefood Multivitamin came in a white plastic bottle. Each bottle has 90 capsules which is good for a 30-day supply of multivitamin supplements. Each serving is 3 capsules which is to be taken daily preferably with a meal.
Evergreen_Nature_Wholefood_Multivitamin.jpg
The suggested use is printed clearly on the label as well as a note of caution below.
Evergreen_Nature_Wholefood_Multivitamin.jpg
There is also a supplement facts printed on the label which is printed in a small font size but readable for me.
Evergreen_Nature_Wholefood_Multivitamin.jpg
Beside it is a list of the ingredients used in each blend included in this supplement. It is again printed in a small font size but still readable.

The Wholefood Multivitamin from Evergreen Nature for me is a bit big. Honestly, this is one of the type of capsules which I find hard to swallow. The capsules have a moss-green color and has a herbal scent with a hint of creaminess in it.

What I liked about this capsules is that I take 3 of them all at the same time once a day, for me in the morning. This way, it's much more easier to remember taking them compared to taking them several times a day.

I like that this doesn't cause any aftertaste and I also like that it doesn't cause any stomach discomfort for me. It's a fruit/vegetable blend and is made in the USA and is GMP certified. Here is a quick product description from the company:

Morning Magic By Giles Smith Book Review


Morning_Magic_By_Giles_Smith.jpg
ABOUT THE BOOK:

It's the first day of a new school year for Emily, a trainee witch. After a hasty breakfast she rushes to her room to get dressed. After all, she doesn't want to be late on day one! But her clothing seems to have other ideas. Her chest of drawers is feeling grumpy and won't open. Her socks don't want to be worn and make a mad dash for freedom. And her witch's hat is simply missing in action. Despite these delays, can she figure out the 'Get Dressed' spell and still make it to school on time?

Morning Magic is Book 1 of the new Everyday Magic Series. This series will be the basis for a new programme of sight-word tools for kids aged 5-7, where the main stories will be developed into small self-readers packed with sight words. 

Morning_Magic_By_Giles_Smith.jpg
MY REVIEW:

The book, Morning Magic by Giles Smith, took my daughters to the first-day-of-school struggles of Emily, a young witch trainee. My 6 year old daughter read the book by herself with ease and understood it while my 4 year old daughter listened. The illustrations were colorful, vivid and nice which caught my daughters' attention. My 6 year old daughter was laughing while she was reading the book because she could relate to how Emily struggled finding misplaced things in the morning and getting ready for school because honestly, shh, we have the same situation in the morning minus the magic and spells of course. :)

I like that the story has a rhyming way and that the words used are simple and are easily understood by my 2 daughters. It's a nice, short book which my daughters loved.

Restaurant_Discount_Economy_Chef_Coat.jpg
I cook our meals at home but I'm not a professional cook or a chef. So for this review, I will keep it close to what I think about the Restaurant Discount's Economy Chef Coat's material, look and feel.
Restaurant_Discount_Economy_Chef_Coat.jpg
The Restaurant Discount's Economy Chef Coat has a soft fabric material. It is thick and has a pocket on the upper left arm and left breast.
Restaurant_Discount_Economy_Chef_Coat.jpg
It has 8 pearl buttons which are reversible so I can close it on either side.
Restaurant_Discount_Economy_Chef_Coat.jpg
I'm not sure what size I received but it is too big for me. The finished cuffs and collar have a clean seam. The color of the chef coat is bright white.

The price of this chef coat is less than $10 but the quality is nice. Plus, the more pieces chef coat you buy, the lower the price gets. :)

Fixxe_Folume_Mousse_By_Thermafuse.jpg
The Fixxe Volume Mousse has a runny, bubbly texture and it smells really nice. The scent reminded me of sweet berries and I really liked it.
Fixxe_Folume_Mousse_By_Thermafuse.jpg
I applied 2 pumps of the Fixxe Volume Mousse by Thermafuse on my palms and worked it through my damp hair. I then styled my hair as usual and I was impressed at how this gave volume and body to my hair and at the same time tamed my fluffy hair.

Carpet Spot And Stain Remover By VeryDirtyCarpets Review + #Giveaway 7/13 US


VeryDirtyCarpets_Carpet_Stain_Remover.jpg
Recently, my 4 year old daughter dropped her container of maple syrup on our carpet. Oh yes, maple syrup. I removed it with wet wipes thinking it was clean already but after a few days, the stickiness was still there as well as some dark marks.
VeryDirtyCarpets_Carpet_Stain_Remover.jpg
I recently received the Carpet Spot and Stain Remover by VeryDirtyCarpets and tried it immediately on the sticky and dirty spots.

The Carpet Spot and Stain Remover by VeryDirtyCarpets arrived in a white, 32 oz. plastic spray bottle. The directions on how to use it was printed at the back label as well as the contents included in this remover. The directions were easy to follow. The contents are also very minimal: Ammonium Lauryl Sulfate, Borax, non-ionic surfactants and EDTA.
VeryDirtyCarpets_Carpet_Stain_Remover.jpg
The first step is to blot the stain to remove any solid or soil residue. Since I've already blotted this syrup sticky spots a few days back, I moved on to the next step.
VeryDirtyCarpets_Carpet_Stain_Remover.jpg
Next is to apply a moderate amount to the spotted/stained area. The nozzle of the Spot and Stain remover has a lock feature in which I have to turn the nozzle first so that the spray would work. I like this feature since it's much kid-friendly.
VeryDirtyCarpets_Carpet_Stain_Remover.jpg
I might've overdone it a bit. :) Prior to using the Carpet Spot and Stain Remover on the stain, I tested it first in a small inconspicuous area on our carpet to assure that it wouldn't discolor our carpet.
VeryDirtyCarpets_Carpet_Stain_Remover.jpg
I skipped the next step which is to agitate the carpet with a brush. No scrubbing! Just agitate the brush over the spots. :) I proceeded to blot the sticky spot with a white napkin to see how it worked.
VeryDirtyCarpets_Carpet_Stain_Remover.jpg
I was amazed at how dirty the napkin became after blotting it dry.
VeryDirtyCarpets_Carpet_Stain_Remover.jpg
The last step is to allow the spot to dry and then to use a vacuum cleaner to remove the solid residue. Again, I skipped this part since our carpet looked really clean and the sticky spot and dark spots were gone! I did this in less than 5 minutes and it has been a few days now and the spot is still clean.

The Carpet Spot and Stain Remover by VeryDirtyCarpets is very easy to use and is effective. There are no harsh chemical scents emitted from the cleaner and I love how it made our carpet clean. It prevented the cleaned spot from accumulating dirt again so the once dirty and sticky spot remained clean even after a few days of cleaning it.

Vita Sciences Joint Right Hypoallergenic Pain Relieving Cream Review


VitaSciences_Joint_Right.jpg
There are times when my right knee would have that dull pain which last for a few days. It's not always but I noticed that it happens when I do an intense workout or sometimes, if I use the treadmill. The pain is more like a dull, aching pain which I can tolerate but sometimes get inconvenient because it's just there. I don't take any pain medication for this because I can handle the pain but, sometimes, the dull aching pain gets to me.

When I received the Vita Sciences' Joint Right Hypoallergenic Pain Relieving Cream, I didn't use it immediately since my right knee felt okay. A few days back, the dull, aching pain on my right knee returned and I knew it was time to try the Joint Right.
VitaSciences_Joint_Right.jpg
Before I head on over to my review, here is a short description of the Joint Right by Vita Sciences:

Using Vita Sciences Joint Right cream as directed is a safe and reliable method of dealing with joint pain. Moisturizers and anti-oxidants allow this light cream to easily absorb into the skin. Each 1.7 ounce bottle delivers 30 applications of lotion in protected and measured amounts. Natural ingredients assure this lotion is gentle to your skin.
     EASY TO USE - Each measured dose of Joint Right lotion from our airless dispenser delivers a full dose.

     GENTLE ON THE SKIN - Our scent-free hypoallergenic lotion is gentle on the skin, odorless, nonirritating

     ALL NATURAL INGREDIENTS - Joint Right lotion uses only natural, safe ingrediants

     MAXIMUM ABSORPTION - Joint Right cream is extremely safe to use. A full fluid ounce of cream contains 1,330 milligrams of BlueProfen complex plus Aloe Vera, Chamomile, Vitamin E, and Pro-Vitamin B5 which are all very good for your skin.
VitaSciences_Joint_Right.jpg
The Joint Right Hypoallergenic Pain Relieving Cream by Vita Sciences has a peach color and has a creamy consistency. For me, it is unscented and neither feels greasy nor heavy on the skin. It absorbs pretty quickly and didn't irritate my skin.

I like that the Joint Right Hypoallergenic Pain Relieving Cream is an all-natural pain relieving product. I always prefer a natural product/remedy just as long as it works. The Joint Right worked to lessen the pain on my right knee and I felt its effect in about 20 minutes. It didn't completely alleviate the pain but I like that it worked to lessen the pain. This can be used up to 6 times per day (not more than 6) and I like that 1 bottle last 70 doses.

Moldable Ear Plugs By Mighty Plugs Review


Mighty_Plugs_Ear_Plugs.jpg
 Do you have trouble sleeping even with the slightest noise? Well, luckily for me, I can sleep in any environment as long as I'm sleepy. I'm not particular with the brightness of a room or if there are other people awake just as long as it's time for me to sleep. However, hubby is the exact opposite of me. He can't sleep even with the slightest noise and even with the dimmest light. The room has to be completely dark and soundless for him to sleep. With the slightest noise, he wakes up which again is the complete opposite of me.

When I received the Ear Plugs by Mighty Plugs, I instantly thought of him using this. He already has a memory foam ear plug and the Mighty Plugs is made out of a different type of material.
Mighty_Plugs_Ear_Plugs.jpg
I received a pair of Mighty Plugs and when I opened the case, it was different. It has a nice, bubblegum scent and the texture is similar to a Play-Doh but at the same time different.
Mighty_Plugs_Ear_Plugs.jpg
It's similar to Play-Doh because it can be molded and can be separated into pieces and then put back together again. It is different because when torn, fibers can be seen on the edges and it's more firm compared to Play Doh. Here is a quick product description from the company:

Mighty Plugs
The "World's Finest" Ear Plug
Highest Blocking! Total Sealing! Moldable Ear Plug!
At Beneficial Products Inc., we are Dedicated to Providing Products that are *Beneficial* for Humanity
The Ear Plug Industry is comprised of manufacturers that produce ear plugs derived from mainly 2 chemically based sources; Foam, Foam, Foam, More Foam and Silicone.

Made from the natural ingredients of pure beeswax, sterile cotton & purified lanolin; this perfect blend has produced the finest, most  efficient earplug ever produced.

Mighty_Plugs_Ear_Plugs.jpg
For me, I only need 1 pair of the Mighty Plug and split it in 2 for my ears. It felt a bit weird at first because it felt like the Mighty Plugs was greasy but then, there are no greasy residue left in my hands when I hold them.

I rolled the Mighty Plugs on my palms and placed it on my ears. I love how I can mold this on the shape of my ears and it's effective in blocking at least 95% of sound from the environment. I also like that this doesn't hurt my ears even when using it for an extended period of time.
Mighty_Plugs_Ear_Plugs.jpg
I tried it on my 4 year old daughter and she didn't complain about it.

Aside from being an effective sound blocking ear plug, this can also be used when swimming. We haven't tried it yet but my daughters often get water on their ears when we're swimming so I'm excited to try this once we go swimming.

The Mighty Plugs Moldable Ear Plugs is reusable. It is better compared to a memory foam ear plug and much more comfortable as well. Instead of covering just the outer and inner ear canal, the Mighty Plugs covers the outer part of the ear as well.

You can purchase the Mighty Plugs HERE.
