REVIEW: Aulker ID101HR Heart Rate Pedometer Smart Band

Happy Holidays all! :) I was very fortunate to be selected to receive this "smart watch" at a discounted price in exchange for my honest and unbiased review.  CLICK HERE TO CHECK IT OUT In terms of this review, I think I will give ratings on a scale of 5: -5 best/good -4 okay -3 average -2 poor -1 really bad PACKAGING: 3/5 Note the "OPEN HERE" text on the bottom right corner of this packaging. Opens up so that you can see the watch. Why the poor rating: Well off the bat, you can tell it isn't a really expensive watch to begin with. (Currently priced at $32.99 as I type this review).  Packaging was really light as well. (Are smart watches supposed to be light? Because it felt like I was holding an empty box).  Loved the idea of the "open here" flap so that you can get a good look at the watch, BUT the way they positioned it made it impossible to even see the watch. You can probably only see the wat

REVIEW: Nonslip Bath Mat

Link to item can be found here:  CLICK HERE DESCRIPTION AS TAKEN FROM THE SELLER: NEW LUXURY BATH MAT DESCRIPCION • STYLISH WHITE COLOR LOOKS GREAT AND LUXURY IN EVERY SHOWER Make every bath or shower you take safer and more sanitary, anti-bacterial BPA-free. Made of high-quality, allergen-free vinyl. Machine washable. Excellent Grip Top and Bottom The underside of the mat is covered with suction cups that, once pressed into place, adhere firmly to the floor of a tub or shower stall and will not shift or slide when you step on or off. First two images taken from the Amazon images for a clearer look of what this product is.  Yes, it comes with some loofah thing...which is kind of a weird combination. I forgot to take a picture of it, so I had to use the stock photo.  Anti-slip rubber grips that apply firmly onto your bathtub.  Design of the mat. Quite comfy but I could totally feel the empty areas on the bottom where there are no suction cups. I can fee

Easy to Read Digital Thermometer / Hygrometer review

Link to product can be found here:  https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01M1LBH7F Disclaimer: I received this product at a discounted price in exchange for my honest and unbiased review.  Having two tortoises of my own (pictures below), I have always worried about the amount of warmth they are receiving when they are inside their enclosures. I have read up about probe thermometers, in which one can accurately test the temperature of the substrate. The issue is that the highly rated ones are super expensive, and I was worried that they would break easily.  And thus, I stumbled upon this product.  This product arrived in a super tiny box, and had a very vague set of instructions. It wasn't very detailed, and I skimmed through it before I dumped it away somewhere and lost it.  There are only 3 buttons on this machine. Quite simple.  Max/min seems to show a record of the highest and lowest temps it recorded.  C/F: alternates between Celsius and Fahrenheit 

Free Canvas Print from Photage

Super long time no post!  As a part of promotional advertising, Photage is giving those who sign up a free canvas print.   I have tested this and got a 6 x 6 print for free. Shipping was free as well. :)   Keep in mind that this is a phone app, and you would have to download it onto your phone if you intend to get a free print.  The app is quite simple, actually a bit too simple in my opinion, but they did note that a new version of the app would be coming out soon with cooler features.   As of now, you can choose the frame with the amount of pictures you want, choose pictures from your photo gallery, and make an order. It's as easy as that. It doesn't give the option for stickers, borders, or any of the sorts though.   The instructions given are a bit vague, and some reason I feel like I'm going to receive a photo paper with my image, but it does say canvas print, so we will see.   Will post images of how it looks like once I receive it. 

Novica Little Buddha Praying Statute REVIEW

CLICK HERE FOR ITEM Hello all, today will be a review on Novica's Little Buddha Praying Statute. It can be found on the Novica website as well as Amazon (link above).  It is a blessing to be able to receive this item at a discounted price (regular pricing is $70.00). This is a gift for my mom, so I quickly opened it to take pics for my review.  This item was hand carved by an artist in Indonesia,  Nyoman Karsa.  The details are stunning. And the Buddha himself is quite heavy too, so you know that it is not hollow inside.  Signature of the artist on the bottom of the statute.  It also smells great!! I love the scent; it smells like really soothing incense that isn't too overpowering.  I received this item at a discounted price in exchange for my honest and unbiased review.  

Maxizest Organic Coconut Oil Review

Link to product I received this item at a discounted price in exchange for my honest and unbiased review. Honestly speaking, with the time length they provide for me to do these reviews (~2 weeks, but by the time the item comes to me, that's like 12 days or less), it is truly not enough. Please take this as a biased review considering the fact that these pills are hard to review and I'm not even sure if any changes existed since I took it, The good:  -Bottle comes with 180 "softgels" I put softgels in quotes because I will be talking about it in the bad section later. -According to the bottle, coconut oil is supposed to help with heart, brain and health support, digestion and weight loss, and gives energy boosts. The bad:  -Smells like coconut oil, but the smell is also blended in with fish oil smells. Upon looking at the ingredients, they use gelatin in it. Not suitable for vegetarian/vegan use. - Pills are a bit too big for my liking. Somewhat har

Valentia Men's Face Scrub Review

Here is yet another delayed review that I was supposed to post. Item can be found here:  Click This is an exfoliating scrub that is said to;  -remove dead skin  -draws out excess dirt and oil  -deep clean pores  -rejuvenates skin texture  Contains sunflower oil and witch hazel (apologies for the blurry pic)  USE SMALL DOLLOP!  Also contains coconut oil, MSM (some sort of organic compound??), and sweet almond oil.  Pic of the jar  Pic of the scrub  ***Images taken from my amazon acc**  This review is written as directed from my BF. He is the one who used this.  I just added some extra comments based on my opinion.  Anyways, the packaging is great and could be ideal for a gift for a guy. The plastic jar inside? Probably not that great. It would look even more expensive if the jar was glass, which I think would make up for its expensive price tag.  Smell: Smells like typical men's cologne, but isn't as strong. Bf me
