Sunsella Bento Style Plastic Lunch Boxes

Love these little boxes! I'm in the process of trying to re-work my diet/meal planning (as a post-

menopausal woman, I'm having the challenges of hormonal weight gain) and these boxes are perfect for meal planning, especially mid-day meals when I'm normally not at home. I can put a salad, some nuts, and some fruit or salad dressing in the 3 sections and Bingo! Healthy mid-day lunch instead of the Grab-and-go meal at some fast food joint.

NOTE: They state right up front that they are NOT leakproof. They are BPA, phthalate and lead free, Microwave, dishwasher and freezer safe.

The only problem is, I'm also an avid "Organizer" ... not OCD... but I love finding new ways to organize my clutter and I can see sooo many uses for these boxes in places like my bathroom (I have TONS of hair clips and ties), my office (paper clips, board tacks, etc) and even the kitchen! So I may well be buying another set to
tidy up one of those areas too!

Mighty Plugs: World's Finest Ear Plugs

Mighty Plugs are moldable ear plugs that that are claimed to be the "Highest Blocking" earplug available. Rather than being made of foam, Mighty Plugs are a wax based plug that totally molds to
your ear canal, eliminating any gaps that would let some sound through as with some traditional ear plugs. You simply knead the plug in your hand to warm it up, then press firmly into the ear to get it to fill all the spaces in the ear. This conformed fit not only blocks noise, it also keeps water out for swimmers. They are reusable up to 30 - 35 times and the unused plugs have an indefinite shelf life.

Personally I didn't find them to block as much as I thought they would, and I had to take break off some from each to help them to fit my ears better .... I think I would personally use them for swimming over noise blocking.... I'm a firm lover of my foam plugs and I guess I just can't switch that easily....

Quick Solve Bath Toy/Item Organizer

Why just use this for bath toys?

Go here to purchase this item
http://bit.ly/QickSolveNet
I have to say I've always been frustrated with trying to keep my various exfoliation
scrubbers/mitts/etc tidy.... they usually need to be hung up somehow so that they dry quickly and some of them don't have any way to hang them. So when I received this the first thing I did was to tidy up MY "bath toys" .... the suction cups hold to the wall very well and the top is easy to reach in to grab whatever you need.

And the crayons? My granddaughter is going to love coming to Grandma's now! What a fun thing to add to bath time!!!!

ECO Pest & Animal Repeller

This product is advertised as a repellent for Deer, Squirrels, Rats, Rabbits, Moles, Gophers, & Other Pests 

While it may work, this product is basically Castor Oil and Water ... which anyone could easily make themselves. It states that it's "specifically formulated" to deter pests ... which to me would be some combination of ingredients, not something I could easily make myself.

Yes, it's Natural/Organic. Yes, Castor Oil deters pests. But there is nothing *unique* about this product that makes it worth the price IMO when I could easily make it for half that price.

I've used a lot of pest repellents in the past and I wouldn't dream of trying to put those formulas together. So if you want to pay for the convenience of letting someone else to mix the oil and water for you then this is a great product. For me, I'll make my own next time I need it.

I "like" it because it works... but I don't love it because I think it's overpriced for what it is.

Nervex Pain and Neuropathy Cream

I'm a big ingredient reader and I love what I see in that list ... all the active ingredients are great for nerve repair. Nervex contains high doses of Vitamin B12, MSM,  and Vitamin E as well
You can purchase this item here

as 
glucosamine, cetyl myristoleate, and andrographis extract that all work to lessen symptoms and support synapse repair. 


There are so many uses for a product like this. Tennis Elbow, Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, Arthritis, Bursitis, Tendonitis, Plantar Fasciitis, Sciatica, Back Pain, Fibromyalgia, Shin Splints, Neuropathy, and Other Inflammation issues and injuries are just some of the applications for a product like this.

It's basically odorless and absorbs well. 

I currently don't have any areas of pain to test it on but the other reviews are all pretty good so I'm glad to have this in my medicine cabinet ... "just in case" :)

 I'll be back on to update if/when I have something physical to actually test this on...

Professional Slant Tip Tweezers By 42 BEES

What can I say? I LOVE these tweezers.

I'm not a high maintenance girl. Yes I shape my eyebrows, and I wear make-up, and I look after my
skin. But I never put any thought to things like the quality of a TWEEZER before now. Up until now
I just had whatever I grabbed off the hook at the local pharmacy when I lost the last pair. And most the time I struggled with tweezing anyway. It just seemed that I was a tweezing failure who would never really be "good" at it.

You can purchase this item here:
http://bit.ly/42BEESTweezers
I got the chance to review these so I thought, "What the heck? Can't hurt to try them!"... well, let's just say I'm a convert to higher quality tweezers. For one thing, these are solidly made, and nicely balanced and I love that the bit that you hold is a bit wider than most cheap tweezers, so you get a better grip. The tweezing end is much thinner than most cheap tweezers that I've used so I could get under the hairs better ... and they really grip the hair well so you can pull it (rather than break it) in one quick pull.

I have to say that my eyebrows are too thin to make great use of the comb but I can see that it could be useful for those with longer/thicker eyebrows..... and the fact that they are thinner on the tweezer end should make them perfect for splinters... tho I hope I don't have to test them out there! If I do, I'll be back with that experience!

Muscle Mauler MAX Foam Roller

As a Massage Therapist and a Swing Dancer I'm always looking for things that will help me and my
clients in maintaining our fitness and health. So when I got the chance to review this roller, I jumped at it.

You can purchase this item here:
http://bit.ly/MuscleMaxRoller
First impression of this roller is how sturdy yet "giving" that it is. With a solid inner core (to support plenty of weight) and firm (but not hard) contoured high density foam surface, this roller should work well for the weekend warrior or the seasoned athlete. It has 2 types of "pressure zones" .. one with longer, smoother areas to imitate palm pressure, and another that is more "nobbled" that imitates more direct finger pressure so you can get the type of effect that you need from sports injury prevention to general maintenance to injury rehabilitation.

I already have one that is shorter, which is great for travel, but this one is going to be my main go to
at home as I can work on both legs and my back ... There's a Quick Start chart on the back of the wrapper, which is a great thing for newbies... beyond that all you need to do is go on Youtube for ideas about how to address whatever area you need to work on. Whether you want to release stiff muscles, breaking down scar tissue and improving your range of motion, this will quickly become your top go-to self help aid.


The only problem is I don't know if I want to tell all my clients about this... it may well put me out of business!
