Nasopure Little Squirt to go Review




Product: Nasopure Little Squirt to go

Company/Creator: Dr Hana

Recommend?: Yes



Dr. Hana's Nasopure Little Squirt to go® is the preferred nasal wash for kids! Designed with little hands in mind, this comfortable, convenient, and easy to use nasal wash system cleans out pollens, bacteria, and dust particles before they have a chance to root themselves in your child's sinuses. Little squirt to go can help your child combat allergies, congestion, colds, flu, asthma, and much more - and it's 100% natural! Benefits of consistent use of nasal washing for children include improved sleep, comfort, and general health, marked by fewer expensive doctor appointments. 

Little Squirt to go is also great for athletes and frequent travelers. The 4 oz. bottle is perfect for storing in travel bags and sports bags, and can help you stay healthy on the go! 

Nasopure is 100% natural - no other additives, perfumes or ingredients. The bottle is BPA free and dishwasher safe, too! (Made in Kansas City, MO and assembled by adults with disabilities). 


This really couldn't have come at a better time. I've been miserable with sinus trouble for weeks. I really liked the Little Squirt method. Seems so much easier, and less intimidating, than a neti pot.

This bottle in particular is made for kids 2 and up. However, Miss O isn't quite convinced yet, but we're going to look at the provided how to teach children information some more. A few more months and we can work with Miss Em as well.

It's pretty neat that the bottle is made relatively close to me! So very local, and BPA free..awesome!

Nasal washes are a great first alternative to sinus medicines, which can cause issue when overused. The Nasopure Little Squirt to go flushes away all of the irritants and encourages natural drainage. Gentle and effective...though it does take getting used to!

PhantomFit Resistance Loop Bands #Review






Product: Resistance Loop Bands

Company/Creator: PhantomFit

Where to Buy: Amazon

Connect: website

Recommend?: Yes











PhantomFit Resistance bands are the best solution because they:
 

  • Are perfect for physical therapy exercises all the way to intense workouts
  • Works flawlessly for arm, ankle, and leg workouts
  • Are separated by resistance level to meet your needs
  • Are extremely durable and long-lasting
  • Are lightweight and portable


What's Included?


  • 1 Blue "Light" Band
  • 1 Red "Medium" Band
  • 1 Green "Heavy" Band
  • 1 Black "X-Heavy" Band
  • Nylon carrying case for portability
  • A workout music downloadable as a mp3 file


I much prefer body weight training to other forms of exercise. Mainly because it seems more cost efficient to me and it can be done just about anywhere. Adding resistance bands to the mix enhances the results without much change at all.

I love the variety of resistance these bands offer. They're sturdy and easily portable, but the bag they came in was pretty much impossible to place them back inside. I heard that they were changing the bag, though, so it may be different now. The only other issue I had with them is they are a bit skinny and roll up on themselves sometimes. I would have liked them, to be wider. 


There are so many exercises you can do with these bands, or just add them into exercises you already do. Just have a quick search for resistance loop band exercise and you should pull up quite a list.

Jiva Organics Cardamom #Review




Product: Organic Green Cardamom 

Company/Creator: Jiva Organics

Where to Buy: Amazon

Recommend?: Yes









Jiva Organics is a line of certified organic spices that offer a tremendous value over mainstream alternatives.  This is a USDA certified organic Green Cardamom that is of extremely high quality and perfect for your next dish or tea!

I haven't used a lot of cardamom, and had never used it from the pods before. I'm very glad to have this experience. Jiva Organics' cardamom is so fresh and fragrant. It's best to keep the cardamom in stored in pods to preserve this. Also, by buying the pods you get a better bang for your buck. Cheaper ground cardamom is sometimes ground with both the seeds and the pods, dulling it's flavor and quality.

Cardamom is great for teas or any food, even desserts, to add a little something extra. It's also wonderful for digestion and so much more!

Paradise Coconut Oil #Review

<div>


Product: Paradise Organic Coconut Oil


Company/Creator: Thera Vita


Where to Buy: Amazon


Recommend?: Yes!











I intended to do so many things with this. Hair conditioner, body butter, cooking, diaper cream, soap....  Because coconut oil is amazing and can do all those things and more. What it really came down to though...I used the majority of this to cook eggs and chicken. and they were delicious every time. A bit of it did make it to a couple of the other ventures. Alas, it is now gone. So sad.

I hate coconut. I really, thoroughly do. So believe when I say cooking with coconut oil will not leave your food tasting of coconut. It's fantastically neutral in flavor and very versatile. Use it in place of butter or oil in virtually anything. Don't get me wrong I love butter and it has its own benefits for sure! However, having a little that's sensitive to dairy, I have to really watch how much we use.

Paradise coconut oil is GMO free, which is a big deal in my household, chemical free, and certified organic, They offer a 100% money back guarantee if you don't love your results.

Ozeri WeightMaster 400lb Digital Scale #Review




Product: 400lb Digital Bath Scale

Company/Creator: Ozeri

Where to Buy: Amazon

Connect: Website, Facebook

Recommend?: Yes









The Ozeri WeightMaster 400 lbs Digital Bath Scale with BMI and Weight Differential Detection was designed and engineered in the USA to provide a comprehensive yet simple weight management solution to measure and track your weight. Featuring BMI Measurement and Auto Recognition Technology, the Ozeri WeightMaster weighs up to 400 lbs and displays your BMI (Body Mass Index), a measure of your body fat based on your height and weight. Immediately after displaying your weight and BMI, the scale's Weight Differential Detection displays your "net weight change" from your last weigh-in (L1), the average of your last 3 weigh-ins (L3), and last 7 weigh-ins (L7). By measuring your weight once a day, the Ozeri WeightMaster empowers you to see how your current weight changes day to day, from the last 3 days, and over the previous week. For users who would rather just focus on their weight trend without worrying so much about the actual numbers, the WeightMaster features Color Alert Technology, which displays your weight change in a GREEN illumination for weight loss and RED for weight gain, providing a visual form of intuitive feedback. With built-in intelligence, the WeightMaster requires no complicated synching and spares you the data connection failures common to more expensive wireless and Bluetooth alternatives. Precision engineered and durably made, WeightMaster auto-calibrates with StepOn technology and auto-powers off to preserve battery life. The Ozeri WeightMaster is made out of impact-resistant tempered glass, and equipped with non-slip scratch-resistant feet that won't damage flooring. Ships with batteries included, and backed by Ozeri's 100% Hassle-Free Satisfaction Guarantee.


  • BMI with Weight Differential Detection -- Instantly displays your BMI (Body Mass Index), current weight, and your net weight change since your last weigh-in. It also calculates your net weight change from the average of your last 3 and 7 weigh-ins to help provide a comprehensive understanding of your weight.
  • Accurate Weight Tracking with 7 Day Memory -- By measuring your weight once a day, the Ozeri WeightMaster empowers you to instantly see how your current weight changes from the previous day (e.g. -0.8 lbs), the average of the last 3 days (e.g. -1.1 lbs) and the previous week (e.g. -1.8 lbs), all displayed on an intelligent LCD with color alert technology.
  • Smart LCD with Color Alert Technology -- For users who want to focus on their weight trend instead of the actual numbers, this scale displays your weight change in color, with a GREEN illumination for weight loss and RED for weight gain, providing a visual form of intuitive feedback so you can see if your weight is trending up or down day to day, over the last 3 and 7 days.
  • Immediate and Flawless Results -- Performs and displays all calculations on the scale's LCD without complicated synching or data connection failures common to more expensive wireless and Bluetooth alternatives.
  • Quality Construction, Industry-leading Capacity and Built-in Intelligence -- Weighs up to 400 lbs with auto-recognition technology for 5 unique users at home, at the office, or at the gym. Automatically calibrates with StepOn technology and auto-powers off. Made out of impact-resistant tempered glass, and equipped with non-slip scratch-resistant feet that won't damage flooring.


Ozeri makes some great products, this scale doesn't disappoint. The scale is available in both black and white. I love how it's customizable for up to 5 people. I do, however, wish that there were a way to choose whether you want to gain, lose, or maintain. I am actually trying to gain, so the red when I do is a bit off putting. I know it's untraditional, but there are some of us that struggle keeping weight on just as much as others try to lose it. The BMI feature is nice to have.

The Ozeri WeightMaster is an attractive scale that you won't feel like you have to hide away, but it's also very thin so if you do need or want to put it away, it's easy to do so. Though it's thin, it's also very sturdy. I found the settings easy to figure out, even without reading the instruction manual.

There is a feature for you to weigh yourself daily and it will show your fluctuation...I don't think this is a good thing to do. Daily weighing tends to stress people out. It puts too much expectation on a number that may have many reasons to change on a daily basis.

Overall I really like this scale!  It's easy to use and read.
