Hey guys!

I'll be honest, I wanted this for its aesthetic. I don't know what aesthetic that'd be, maybe nerd or world-worm (it' a thing!), but aesthetic nonetheless. But then, no even 20 minutes after I opened it I found myself searching for and about all these places that I embarrassingly didn't even know existed. So, hey, it's a great thing!

This wonderful thing I keep referring to is this dandy little globe:
It's so cute! This is the one I got, but there are 4 more. I'm sure you'll find one to suit your fancy!

What do I love?

Well let me start by saying I never wanted a globe just because I didn't have it. I did want one of those big ones that my grandmother had, though. I did like that this one spins nicely. I guess that probably sounds dumb but you know in movies and they spin it and it spins so well? It's like that! So basically you're one step closer to being a movie star. (;

In all seriousness, though, it's sturdy, well colored, and very professional especially for the price. It is plastic but it's definitely a thicker plastic. I don't remember if it's hollow or not, but it isn't heavy, and it's got a thick covering. Basically, if you drop it it won't dent your floor, figuratively, and it won't break, bend, or crack.


What do I hate?

Well, I wouldn't say hate, but I did dislike some of the coloring. It's very neat and easy to tell the difference between borders. However, some of the print is nearly the same color as what it's printed on, or not contrasting enough to be easily read. Not that it's a huge issue, but it's a tiny bit bothersome.


Do I recommend?

Yes! Whether for yourself, someone older, or someone younger, I think it makes for a great addition to anyone's lives. If they're anything like my siblings and I, they'll learn a ton about places they didn't even know existed. For example, did you know Ethiopia follows a calendar 7 years behind the rest of the world? I know this isn't exactly of a place, but when my brother said that wasn't a real place after we searched the globe, we came across this when we were looking up information. Whether one thing leads to another, or someone learns a country they didn't know of before, this can bring a ton of goodness into someones life. I highly recommend. It's high quality and sparks curiosity, what's better!

All Around The Globe - TCP Globe Review

Hey guys! I'll be honest, I wanted this for its aesthetic. I don't know what aesthetic that'd be, maybe nerd or world-worm ...

Hey guys!

We all know the struggle of a dead phone right when you need it (or even when you don't!), so why put yourself in that situation? The answer: Don't! That's why you need this; Powerben Solar charger. It looks like this:
I can't express how much I love this.

In efforts to reserve time and get this out there ASAP, I will post my amazon review below:

on July 27, 2016
Super helpful! A week ago I had to go a couple states away and was in the truck for a 17 hour drive. Of course my phone was one of the few sources of entertainment I had, and it came near dead multiple times. Thankfully, I had this. It charged my phone into the 90's 3 times, and still had enough to keep my grandmothers iphone charged, too. I only had to charge it twice that whole week, but it wasn't even dead when I did. Needless to say, this battery is very long lasting. Not only is it long lasting, but it is beneficial, too. Not only because of the battery, though! It's got a light (super helpful when I lost one of my things in the black hole under my bed) that can be used as a flashlight or an SOS signal. It's capable of charging two phones at once, and it charges pretty quickly itself. It comes with a hook and a chord, so you're all set! The only "downside" is the size, it's about the size of a note 4 and as thick as 2 stacked. It's not huge or overly bulky (think note 4 with a lifeproof case) but it may be an issue if someone is more into smaller products. Though I must admit that it's a small price to pay for such a great charger. Overall, I love this and it's the same price as a less powerful one you can buy from walmart (more specifically the one I have), so it isn't expensive at all.


As you can see, it's a lifesaver! It's got any feature you could want in an easy-to-use, portable charger, and it's got the most amazing battery life I have ever used.

In case you haven't ever had one, this is the highest rated one among 3 I own. The other one is from Walmart and is around the same price, though has lower mAh (milliampere hour). And the third one is a cheaper (half the cost), more novelty charger that is coca-cola themed. I loved my other charger (first mentioned) until I got this one. Honestly, it's the greatest, most useful products I probably have to date.

It does say not to charge overnight, and not to rely solely on solar charging to kep it charged (though it does [keep it] top[ped] off). So, as with any product, be cautious of the restrictions and guidelines, though these are hardly any different than any of its kind.

It lives up very nicely to all claims it makes, and even better is that it is inexpensive. When chargers came about much more prominently, a lot of people spent a lot on chargers that had to be replaced monthly. Some even spent hundreds on chargers less functional or as powerful than this one. Sometimes more doesn't mean more, so you don't need to spend a ton to get a good deal; This shows that very well.

I have had zero problems and don't see any happening. I recommend this to anyone!

Hey guys!

Last one today!

This one is a sushi roll kit by BambooWorx, and it looks like this:
It'd pretty self explanatory, and it's easy to use.

My favorite thing about it is the size because you can't run out of room (unless you're going overboard, or, I guess if you're an expert who likes making bunches of things). I also like that it's so simple and easy to clean.

Since I don't exactly know how to review this, I linked to a pinterest board with sushi inspirations. I don't like fish sushi, but I like fruit sushi and vegetable sushi, so if you're that way this is still definitely for you. Something about eating things that're rolled up makes it some kind of luxury.

These pinterest boards has different recipes, but it's just to get the ball rolling. If you are creative, share your own recipe for the world to see, too!

Hey guys!

I know everyone and their mother has heard of Garcinia Cambogia, and if you haven't you can click here to find out. But basically it's said to melt fat and boost, well, weight loss in general. In short: Maybe.

A friend of mine used on for $10, and had no experience of better health but did GAIN 6 pounds with a weeks use. Could it have been water or something? maybe. Do I believe they're all created the same? No. Furthermore, hers was 75% HCA (explained below), and mine was 95%. Though, I don't feel like that little difference should cost her 6 pounds. SO be careful!

Mine looked like this:
Garcinia Cambogia Extract EXTREME 95% HCA (Highest Available) Super Strength Ultra Pure All Natural Appetite Suppressant Fat Burner Carb Blocker and Weight Loss Supplement 1400mg Per Serving Manage Your Weight Today!

First, I'll explain HCA and it's benefit. HCA, or Hydroxycitric Acid, is an ingredient found in tropical fruits that is hyped to boost metabolism therefore creating weightloss, but was not confirmed to have any effect on weightloss during several clinical studies.

If it has no effect, then why care?

You probably shouldn't. As far as I know, Garcinia Cambogia was created as a ploy to boost sells, then took off from there. Essentially, weight loss you receive from it is because of a mental shift. Also, since you're directed to exercise and eat healthier, those are probably the reasons you might see a change in weight. It's also recommended to drink more water which, just as diet and exercise, will cause a change in weight overtime. Basically, this is for mental strength when you have none (in terms of actual weight loss solely from taking this).

However, there was something I noticed. This pill does offer great appetite control. During my time taking this, I hardly ate or felt the need to eat because I just wasn't hungry. When I did eat, it was a portion of the portion I usually eat. I guess that's a big downsize, Texas sized servings aren't small. 

The reason I believe it may be useful is because of the appetite suppressant par. No, I didn't see any weightloss despite low appetite, and almost no real meals, for 2 weeks. I didn't add or reduce anything from my normal diet besides frequency of food intake. I drink at the very least 90 oz. of water a day, too.

Overall, if you're looking for an appetite suppressant, this may help you out. But if you're looking for extreme weightloss and/or a huge change in a short time, I don't think this is for you.

I Didn't Melt - Garcinia Cambogia Review

Hey guys! I know everyone and their mother has heard of Garcinia Cambogia, and if you haven't you can click here to find out. But ...

Hey guys!

We know how aesthetic it is to have fairy lights in your room, or some sort of decoration that involves them, so that's why I love these! These, String Lights by Oakleaf, are my new go to! They look like this:
But oh my goodness, when they're on and it's dark, they're the mos beautiful thing I have seen!
This picture does NOT do it justice

I love them!

What do I like most?

The fact that they're switch operated and don't need to be plugged in. Because of this, they're VERY easy to use and move around. 

Any dislikes?

The length, I suppose. Don't get me wrong it's not exactly short, plus there's two in the package, but when you see something so pretty you just want more!

Would I buy?

Yes. A thousand and one times. In fact, I will probably want more of these when I go to college in September.

First impression?

Upon receiving, I thought it's be in a different kind of package or something. Essentially, I was expecting something similar to fairy lights you buy at target. However, they come bundled up tightly in a small box, and it looks almost like you paid for a piece of copper wire and nothing else. But don't let that fool you! After that, it's like "how did I live without?!" I was a little put off by how it arrived, size wise because the packaging was still very nice, but I barely even care anymore.

I received the purple ones, but they have six other colors including traditional warm white, green, and blue.

Hey guys!

There's a lot going on. Personally, I am preparing for college, helping all 3 siblings in sports and preparing for academic success, and, well, the basic stresses in life. It's obvious I am pretty stressed, right? Well thank the heavens for this. Tranquil Guitar CD:
I am honestly so happy to have this. But again, I don't want to stall, so I will get to it:

Is it effective?

Very much so!! Couple it with an essential oil (here's mine), and a warm bath, and you've got the most relaxing thing you can get for (almost) nothing. This is the single most effective thing getting me through the week.

Is it worth it?

YES. I know there are free things online, I use them too, but it's nice having this kind of thing on hand when you need it. You could get the audios or the CD, your choice.

Overall rate?

11/10 honestly. I haven't ever gotten one of these, as in physical copies, but I love it. I can't explain why but I do.

Bonus: This is really great to do breathing exercises with if you suffer from anxiety. It's a nice gateway to a clearer, calmer mind, or if you listen just anywhere it's a nice way to remain calm and keep anxiety lower than without. I used it during orientation (which is a 17 hour drive from home) and was able to keep anxiety attacks at a minimum, and remain more focused, calm, and collected int he long run.

I hope everyone checks this out, it's glorious. Please do yourself a favor and get one.

Hey guys!

Ahh, no one likes a dirty mouth, and no one wants to smell that of someone else, so why not kill it at the source? Well, honestly I am not sure if it is good for bacteria as it claims but I know it's worth it. The product looks like this:
I don't want to stall so I will jump to the point:

Does it work?

Somewhat. I'll post my amazon review so you can see:

on July 25, 2016
Not bad. It's a pretty decent spray, but it's got its drawbacks. I chose the mint one, assuming it's be the best and trying to prevent any kind of bad picking. Mint is in many oral products, after all. However, the flavor was a little off-putting. On the one side, it's more of a natural mint flavor rather than a sweetened one which is a plus, but it's also a little...strong? I suppose? I enjoy mint flavor, so it isn't like I am new to it. It also seems to mask anything more than actually fix it which I guess would be normal for some sprays. The way it sprays is also kind of bothersome because it sprays more in a stream/line than an even mist. I didn't notice any change in tooth color, either. However, I did notice a slight difference in sensitivity. I do believe it helped make my teeth less sensitive and it does mask oral issues well enough for a short period of time (I tested this after eating doritos and fritos, they're the smelliest thing I could think of at the time), but it didn't seem to kill bacteria like it says.

Though there are quite a few let downs in my opinion, it was helpful for when I needed my mouth to feel a little fresher, or when I needed some kind of boost (y'know, a confidence boost). It fits very easily into my purse which isn't that big in size. It's about the size of a roll on perfume bottle, so it's definitely easy to put away. Overall I would still recommend it because it is easy to use and maybe it'll have better results in the future with continued use.

Disclaimer: I received complimentary in exchange for my honest review. All opinions are my own.

I wanted to love the product, but I found a lot to dislike about it. My review showed that well, but regardless I think I would purchase again. Not at all because it was fantastic and worked extremely well, because it wasn't and it didn't, but because it's like the equivalent to having a tic-tac or a piece of gum and everyone invests in those. Personally, I think this is just like that. It is just like carrying around gum or something and needing to use it for quick refreshers, except --bonus-- I don't think people will hound you about sharing.

It isn't useless by any means but it's not as well lived as it says. I think with more production/alterations, it'll be an A+ product that'll really sell. But for now, I think they've got some adjusting to do.

Dirty Mouth? You Know What To Do - ToothFilm Oral Spray Review

Hey guys! Ahh, no one likes a dirty mouth, and no one wants to smell that of someone else, so why not kill it at the source? Well, honest...

Hey guys!

Just as I have acquired a headphone collection, I have been steadily growing my gel pen collection, too. What can I say, it's the best. Well...usually.

Today's product is Amazing Colors Gel Pens, and they look like this:

At first, I was happy with them. These were a nice addition, no problems at all. However, that took a turn after a few uses. Weird, right? I figured my initial use of them could spell it out for me, guess I was wrong.

I use gel pens primarily for my bullet journal (highly recommend), so I am usually working with something thin and prone to, at the very least, ghosting. Given that, I like my pens to be good enough to write on a paper without ruining the rest. these can't handle that, apparently.

In the beginning, they were great because they didn't seem to do any of the usual things that make me turn my back on the product. they didn't bleed, pool, smear, or skip. Today while I was setting up a bingo game with my siblings, I was using the blue color next to the purple and the lighter blue. It was a mess, honestly. It pooled after only a couple seconds sitting in the same place, and because of that it bled through the paper. It didn't dry even after a couple of minutes. The ones I have gotten my hands on took 30 seconds max to dry, so this was a bit unexpected (I got it all over my arm). Next, I noticed the unreasonable amount of bleed through that wasn't from pooling, and it was a bummer. Plus, it smears so badly because it never seems to completely dry, or at least it takes way too long. Lastly, it skips pretty badly. I had to do the tongue lick thing 3 times during the few minutes I was using it. There's plenty of ink and it worked enough to pool and ruin my paper, so I am positive it wasn't dried out or empty.

These were great when I first got them, I really enjoyed using them. But because of my fifth or sixth go around, I won't be using them again. Like I said, I use these types of things on fine paper. Fine, expensive paper. I refuse to use pens that ruin more pages than I could use in a day.

Not all is ruined, though. I happily admit that the colors are very night. The colors are bright, smooth, vivid, and eye-catching. That's a bonus because I have come across more than my fair share of dull, lifeless pens. The title fits well, these are some Amazing Colors. I personally think these would be more suitable for children or someone who just needs colors for certain things without them being the absolute best or something. There's different kinds so if you're looking for something quick and easy then you should check them out. If you need them for detail-specific/high quality things, pass.

Bonus, the white pen is probably the best one. But I don't think you should invest in a whole set of subpar for just one good one.

But before you go and disown/disregard the product, don't forget the pros. I will quickly admit that these suck for my purposes, but they might be magic for you. Also, though I am speaking primarily of one single pen, had this been my very first use of these and I spent the money on them, I would have demanded a refund for low quality. Double check your needs before you buy any product, just to be safe!

Not So Gelous - Amazing Colors Gel Pens Set Review

Hey guys! Just as I have acquired a headphone collection, I have been steadily growing my gel pen collection, too. What can I say, it...
Hey guys!

If many women-- and men-- have one issue, it's hair. Whether your hair is curly and unmanageable, or just a bit more frizzy than you'd like, you might run to the blow dryer or straightener first thing. It might even be a staple in your routine! If that's the case, then you know how time consuming it can be, and even how annoying it might be if it just. won't. work. Well, eave all that aside and invest in this:

Straight & Shine Hair Straightening Brush:
Hair Styling Straightener Brush-Straightening Electric Ceramic Flat Iron with Heat Insulation Tips, LCD Display & Automatic Lock Buttons -plus Free Comb Travel Bag & Cleaning Cloth By Straight&Shine
I couldn't find a picture that just had the brush, but this is just as good. In case you didnt know, it really does come with all of this. It's great!

Why do I love this?

Let me start by giving an experience: I had one of these before, and it didn't work. I was convinced they all sucked, at least for my hair type, because it didn't straighten whatsoever. Actually, it hardly heated up at all! Since these stepped into the scene some time ago,a bout the same time I tried my first one, I was more than excited to get it going. But I couldn't because like I said...it was useless. It was nothing less than garbage and I was disappointed beyond belief.

However, this one is nothing like that, thank goodness! I'll name the last one A, and this one B, and compare them below:

A:
Didn't heat up
Was extremely uneven
Didn't brush through hair (even if prebrushed)
Bristles were very short
Bristle tips fall off after one use

B:
Heats up very well, quickly too
Heat is even and consistent
Bristles are long enough to get into hair
Bristle tips are build on
Brushes through hair that is lightly brushed/prebrushed (w/o pulling)


There are so many things I was scared of and was proven so, so wrong!

My hair is curly, knots easily, and is about bra strap length. It's pretty lengthy and can be unmanageable at times. But this still blew right through it and it was a great experience. 

Top reasons to use:

1. Cuts time down A LOT. What normally takes 20-45 minutes took a swift 7 minutes and 32 seconds.

2. Almost perfect strands. It was a bit complicated to get the ends, but it wasn't bad. Honestly the comb was a bit difficult to use, but helped once I got the hang of it.

3. Smoother (process) than butter! It heats up in 90 seconds, it has a lock button to prevent it changing or anything. It just all goes so smoothly it makes it my favorite.

I recommend this a thousand times and 3, alright. I love it, I love everything about it.


I can't say how much I love this, it's got all the best qualities and I can't say enough times that I recommend to almost any hair type. If it can get through mine, it can get through anyone's.

Straight Outta Problems - Straight & Shine Hair Straightening Brush Review

Hey guys! If many women-- and men-- have one issue, it's hair. Whether your hair is curly and unmanageable, or just a bit more frizzy...

Hey guys!

As anyone who reads knows, I have gotten quite the collection of bluetooth headphones over the past few weeks and now it seems they run together. So now, I will answer the top 5 questions when looking for headphones, and whether or not these possess those qualities. Let's get started!

Today's headphones are these by TweetTech:
Are they durable?

Yes! I have used these for the past week, as most are put through a week long trial run for reviewing purposes. These have been used while doing nearly everything, from watching videos at night to running around town. These have barely a couple of scuff marks and are in the same great condition as I received them in; They didn't break, crack, or chip. They held up very nicely!

Are they stylish?

In my opinion, yes. Of course everyone has their own thought and opinions, so there's no guarantee that they will be the most stylish from one person to the next. But, as the picture shows, they are black and red, and not just a basic look to it. They can go with many things, and if your favorite color to accessorize with is red, these are a must.

How's the sound?

The sound is decent. they aren't the absolute best I have ever had but they are by far not the worst. They work well if you are just looking for the noise of it rather than bass, focused vocals, or of the like. However, they would still be a, 8.9/10 if I had to rate it numerically. Not bad at all.

Are they functional?

Yes! I don't think I need to elaborate too much, everyone knows what it means. But they are functional.

and lastly, Do they have high quality?

Yes! They aren't the absolute greatest like whoa blow your mind but they are really good. The sound is good, the durability is good, overall these are a 9.5/10. These aren't some cheapo things that need to be replaced in a week. (Or even a month, at that.)

So do they compare?

Yes, very well. These are one of the top 3 that I like, easily replacing my last favorites.

I have others, but these are the special mentions.

Another? Yes! - TweetTech Bluetooth Headphones Review

Hey guys! As anyone who reads knows, I have gotten quite the collection of bluetooth headphones over the past few weeks and now it seem...

Hey guys!

Okay so I was hoping you'd all see this sooner but it seems like some of my posts aren't posting correctly. That being said, check out this one too (InstaNatural), it got put in the same boat.

Anywho...

I can't recreate the post this was, and I have no idea where it went off to, but let's start over:

This product,  Th Magic Pads, are literal magic. Here's what they look like:
Well, the container at least. The actual product is a collection of soaked circular pads. 

What I did want to mention is that the packaging is really cool! It's very professional seeming and very nice. I think its a typical type of container, but I love the simplicity and all of the logo and print.

Here's what it's for:

These glycolic acid (2%) pads are perfect to "help treat acne, clear blemishes, smooth and tighten skin, shrink pores, exfoliate, tone, clarify and hydrate in one swift swoop of a swipe".

Well, does it?

Oh my gosh, YES! I am in love with these and will definitely purchase some when I run out. I thought they were too good to be true, I really didn't give them a second thought when I was able to review them, but now I am extremely happy that I was given the chance. These are perfect if you have skin issues, especially the ones listed above. For me, I have, well had thanks to these, blemishes, large pores, uneven, and dry skin. It took so many products to treat all of these, and a half hour nightly routine in order to keep it at bay. Not only did adding these knock that down by more than half, but it gave amazing results very quickly.

These have evened out my skin, shrunk my pores quite noticeably, cut down the amount of blemishes I get by a lot, and kept my skin hydrated without any downtime or side effects whatsoever.

These have a "unique blend of Glycolic acid, Organic Willow Bark, Hyaluronic acid and Vitamin E in an Organic Aloe Vera juice base" to help combat issues all at once. These pack a punch that is sure to knock you ut (in the best way, of course!).

Overall, these are literal magic. If you've tried other pads like these, you may be a bit skeptic. I had a friend who used these types of things religiously and if I could go back and show her these, I bet she wouldn't have let so much go down the drain for nothing. These are so good, and heal/improve many things that we typically want to change.


Fell the magic for yourself right here!

Hey guys!

Okay so I was hoping you'd all see this sooner but it seems like some of my posts aren't posting correctly. That being said, check out this one too (Magic Pads), it got put in the same boat.

Anywho...

I can't recreate the post this was, and I have no idea where it went off to, but let's start over:

This product is InstaNatural and it looks like this:
I love the packaging, it definitely gives off a "natural" feel.

What it does:

This facial cleanser is meant to control breakouts, fight signs of aging, exfoliate, and restore youthful skin all while keeping it natural. I must say, it's definitely packed with natural ingredients!

What it does:

It cleans very well, and I think it exfoliates nicely, too, though that might be partial thanks to the sponge I use. Because it cleans and protects so well, it definitely does help control breakouts. I can't attest to the anti-again, I don't think I am old enough to say, and if I am I don't know what to look for. 
Nonetheless, it holds up nicely to the other claims it makes.

Do I dislike anything?

The smell would be the most off-putting part of the product. It isn't horrible or anything, just weird. I guess because it's a natural product, it would smell this way. It definitely smells earthy and real. But it's a little weird, especially for a facial cleaner. This may or may not be something you'll want to smell during the cleaning process. Regardless, the fact that it leaves skin clean and smooth is reason enough to look past the oddity. 

Anything else?

I really love the packaging. It's a very full bottle and a little goes a long way. I think if you've got problem skin you may want to try a natural approach. If that's the case, I would recommend this. It's nice knowing you aren't slathering on harmful chemicals, and letting toxins penetrate your skin in hopes it'll fix your issues. I know some people think natural takes longer, and it might, but natural takes longer because it's healing your skin. Natural is building it all up and making it good from the inside out. Chemicals are seeping into your skin, killing and damaging many things it shouldn't be. Yea, the issue is gone a bit quicker, but your skin is being damaged. I would trade a couple days healing difference if it meant I would still have good, healthy skin later in life.

If you want your skin to be great (and those selfies to be top notch because you're #flawless), I recommend this.

InstaBeauty - InstaNatural Review

Hey guys! Okay so I was hoping you'd all see this sooner but it seems like some of my posts aren't posting correctly. That being...

Hey guys!

I know pinterest and instagram love activated charcoal, but what's the use? Let's see:
1. Whitens Teeth
2. Face Mask (or body if you're adventurous)
3. Bloat/Gas
4. Cleaner
5. Anti-Aging

Mostly, we see this product advertised for the first and second, but as you can see there are more! I wasn't sure where to start so I just did a side by side comparison of the 2 products to test quality, feel, and results. Shall we?

#1. Sagano Activated Charcoal
It comes in a package like this, and the package is actually kind of big! I thought these would be small sizes, but I was wrong.

#2. Moody Zook Activated Charcoal
I personally like the Moody Zook packaging most but lets be honest it's because of the mustache and hat.

Moving on, I tried both of these on as a face mask and as a teeth whitener. My amazon review of these sums it up 100%, so I will copy that below:

I have never used activated charcoal before this, so I wasn't sure what to think or expect. i knew it had a variety of uses, so I tested out 2. I tried a face mask and a teeth whitening. The face mask was fun to do (a little goes a very long way so be careful!), and wasn't uncomfortable or anything besides the fact that it didn't dry or anything so it would get on whatever it touched. I had to remove it with soap, and the process of taking it off was kind of difficult just because it smears more than it comes off. However, my skin felt really good after. I already have good skin, but it didn't damage it and it cleared up any small "issues". Secondly, the teeth whitening. It took a few cleans to get it all out, but I do think it lightened them up some. id on't have horrible teeth, but they aren't as white as I wish they could be despite the fact that I don't do much that would stain them. But this helped that quite a bit. I did this to 2 products to compare the feel and results, and they both left the same results and everything. That being said, the downside is what everyone else is saying: It is very fine. Because it's so fine its very easy to spread everywhere and can be a little difficult to clean up. It only came off with soap for me, but it wasn't difficult after that. But it being fine is great for using it on surfaces needing a gentle touch. Just be careful where you open it and what it might get on!

Disclaimer: I received complimentary for my honest, unbiased review. All opinions are my own.

I posted this review to both, as it pertained to both and they were the exact same quality and features.

Both products gave the same results, and both were the same feel and same difficulty t remove, or use.

However, you should do you research on how to do both of these first, but I made it easy and linked it for you!

[This isn't capsule form, but it's a good recipe.]


And, for extra measure, check out this pinterest board. It's got a ton of ideas!

Lastly, check out this because it's really cool!

Be careful though, it spreads! It's the equivalent to glitter, so be cautious. Have fun!

Activated Charcoal: Why? - Sagano and Moody Zook Activated Charcoal Review

Hey guys! I know pinterest and instagram love activated charcoal, but what's the use? Let's see: 1. Whitens Teeth 2. Face Mas...

Hey guys!

We all know how important exercise can be, but it can be a difficult feat for anyone. What I have learned, though, that it doesn't all have to be hard, and it doesn't all have to be expensive or even a huge step all at once. Stepping into your routine slowly is okay, and here's a great place to start.

Push Up Bar:
The picture makes them look like metal or something but they're actually plastic. Don't fret, though, they're really strong!

Push ups are a fundamental part of many routines, and people start them as early as elementary school. That's why they're a great place to start for many reasons.

I'll show my amazon review, because I don't have long to get this done:

on July 20, 2016
These are a great addition to an exercise enthusiasts collection of workout gear. Though I am not a huge workout person, meaning workout isn't my life, these are still very useful. These are easy to put together (they come in separate pieces), and very sturdy. I was a bit scared they're break somehow, but the plastic is very strong. I am not sure what kind of plastic, I am sure it says somewhere, but still. The grips don't slide or anything so it isn't a matter of slipping. The elevation isn't noticeable enough to mess up your workout by making it too unbearably difficult, but is high enough to deliver an intense modification to a standard push up. Inclined workouts are said to be more effective than it's original counterpart, so I highly recommend using this to get your foot in the door. They're strong, durable, and effective-- the three best qualities.

I summed up my opinion in a few sentences on amazon, so I won't elaborate much else more.

I highly recommend taking a look at the other reviews because they're a more elaborate view of what I said. All in all, these are really useful and a great stepping stone.

Inclined to try this out - Push Up Bar Review


Hey guys!

I did a review for another foam roller earlier today (check here). But now I am here for the 2nd of the two.

This one looks like this:
I picked the picture of the pink one because I got the pink one. It's really pretty!

What were my worries?

The durability! I was scared that it wouldn't be able to hold any weight. And I was also a bit nervous as to if it would be okay after a straight week of use. Of course a week isn't long enough to judge, but you'd be surprised how many products break down in such a short amount of time. That was about it!

Was it worth it?

Yes! It is really great. The size is perfect for carry and use, and the only thing I didn't like was...

Any drawbacks?

How rough it is. It's kind of rough, or too hard, and it can become uncomfortable quickly. If my muscles are sore enough it works because deep tissue, but other than that it is kind of painful.
Other than that, it's a good buy!
