Review: JKS Health Products Revitalize Weight Loss Drops

As most of you know, I am always on the lookout for weight loss products. I've been plump since puberty and I've never really gotten rid of it. If something might help me with that, I will try it out.

   So, I decided to give Revitalize Weight Loss Drops a go. And honestly, I have to say that it did not make much of a difference. I have seen no decrease in my weight or my waist line. So, it has been a disappointment.
   Now, the directions are simple enough - 10 drops placed under your tongue three times per day. It was easy to do that every day. The taste, however, is not very pleasant. I made sure to wash it down with a beverage to kill the flavor. It was almost like swallowing a liquid medication from the early 1980s. You know - the medication that tasted like a hospital.
   As unfortunate as it is, this is not a great product. I would not recommend it.

Review: Hydrolagen

As you get older, your body produces less collagen. That can have negative effects on your skin, on your joints and bone density and can cause inflammation. All in all, it's not a good time. I have been searching for a collagen supplement that will help me retain a somewhat youthful appearance and hopefully help my achy knees.

   I decided to give Hydrolagen a try. I had never done it before. What could go wrong?
   Well, something did go wrong right away. I mixed it with my morning coffee. It said it had a vanilla flavor and you could mix it in with water, milk or your favorite beverage. I thought that it would be perfect to spruce up my boring morning black coffee. I was wrong. The taste was extremely unpleasant - enough that it upset my stomach for the rest of the morning. I was ready to not try it ever again.
   But, my husband suggested that the upset tummy was caused by the caffeine. So, I wanted to give it another try. I made a smoothie of milk, ice, blueberries and the supplement. This was much better and did not give me an sour stomach. Since I have begun drinking it in smoothies, I have noticed the bags under my eyes have diminished by roughly 25 percent. That is an AWESOME result!! I would recommend this.

Review: Joy Spring's Thyroid Support

As a Type 1 diabetic, my thyroid needs extra support and attention from time to time. About a year ago, I found out my thyroid was not working properly, so I was placed on a prescribed thyroid medication. After the year was over, my thyroid was functioning normally again, but I wanted to
ensure that I did not lose the progress I had made.
   I wanted to try Joy Spring's Thyroid Support to see if this supplement could give me what I require. And so far, it seems to be holding up.
   Now, your thyroid affects much more than your weight. It can make you gain. It can make you lose. That is because your thyroid controls your metabolism. However, your thyroid can also affect your mood and energy levels. And since I have started taking this supplement, my energy level has been elevated. When you chase a 2-year-old around all day, you need all of the energy that you can get.
   You can check out this supplement on the Amazon link above or directly at their website here. Not only that, you can also get a 50 percent discount. What is not to love about that?

Review: Dauber Dawgs Dot Markers

I am always on the lookout for different art supplies for my children. One is a budding artist at nine years old and the other is 2. So, anything that will make a mark captures his attention.
   I received a box of eight dot markers. Dot markers? What in the world are those? I was eager to find out and so was my son - especially since the box had bright colors and little
puppies on it. The colors are very vibrant and include purple, brown, pink, green, orange, red, yellow and blue. These markers are constructed like bingo markers - you know, those markers that leave one perfect circle on whatever number was called. These would make interesting artwork!
   Right now, the only two things that I have an issue with are the wrappers - they come off very easily - and the markers are not washable. Call me spoiled, but I like my toddler to have washable markers and if they are not, then he needs constant supervision.
   However, my daughter loves these and has made a variety of flower pictures with dots. It's like looking at one of those comic book paintings. This is a fun box of markers.

Review: ActionFly's Fashion Wind Clip Lamp

I like to have plenty of lighting options available in my house. Which is why I've been wanting a clip-on lamp for my desk. See, the outlet closest to my lamp is full and I really detest running extension cords all over my house - especially for just one measly lamp. This rechargeable clip-on lamp,
however, eliminates the need for cords and outlets.
   I really like the look of this lamp. It is not tacky or overbearing. It's not so small that it emits very little light. It's a wonderful size. The button on the base of the lamp is touch activated. Two clicks to adjust the brightness and the third click turns it off.
   How does it recharge? With the USB cord that comes with it. Plug it into a USB charger and it's good to go in a couple of hours. So far, I have not left it on long enough for it to die, so I cannot really say how long a charge will last.
   I do recommend this. It's perfect for college dorms, kids' rooms, kitchens - basically anywhere that could use more light in your home.

Review: 1byone's 5GHZ Wireless HDMI Streaming Media Player

I have been looking into obtaining a streaming media player for a while. I just didn't make the move to actually get one until recently, and to be honest, I'm not sure why I wanted one so much now.

   Do not get me wrong. This is not a bad little product. You plug it into your television and then look/watch photos and videos from your smartphone, tablet or PC. Where are you watching them? On your television screen. Bigger and clearer picture.
   It sounds awesome, but there are quirks that 1byone needs to work out. For starters, getting this little sucker going is somewhat of a pain in the rear. You have to make sure you download the right version, or else it will not work properly. The instruction manual that comes with the player is also vague. There needs to be more details - especially for technological inept consumers such as myself. I was about ready to give up on it until my husband came home and got it running. I've used it a few times since then. It's a nice accessory to have, but it is not necessary.
   I could see myself using this for a video presentation if I needed to at work. But, since I am not in that position, it is kind of moot. However, it would come in particularly handy for those people.

Review: Got Me Tipsy's Mommy Medicine Mug

I either love or hate novelty mugs. It all depends on what they say or have pictured on them. Some can be quite stupid or tacky. Others just make me smile whenever I see them.
   This mug is one that makes me smile, probably because it rings true for those stressful mommy times. You know the times I am talking about - the kids are running around,
there's no peace, wailing, crying, continuous mess, things getting broken. While all this is going on, you just really want a drink. Maybe you will get a chance to get one? But, you need to keep up appearances. You can't just break open a cold one. Nope. You need a different vessel to hide it in. Thus, the Mommy Medicine cup.
   Now, since you can see through the glass, you don't want to put anything too obvious in there. Place your coffee in and then make it Irish. Or use it for a fun night when the girls come over - pizza, movies, drinks and chatting. No need to hide your beverage then. This is a fun mug and a perfect gift for the upcoming Mother's Day!
