Produce Bags Review

This is a set of 6 reuseable produce bags. These are designed to take to the store with you while you are shopping. I like the product, the idea, and the uses of these bags.


I will start with the company that sent me this bags. It is a company called Kakolee and their idea is to make the world more green. If you visit their website they have a lot of information on taking care of the environment and help reduce the carbon foot print. The companies webite is not completed as of yet but I look forward to watching the site as it grows.


Now this set of 6 bags I take with me everytime I go to the grocery store. I use them for a lot of the produce I pick up. I do not put sharp pointy type produce into my bags because I do not want to take a chance of damaging them. The bags do seem like they would take that kind of abuse but I am not interested in finding out. The great thing about these bags is you can bring them home and reuse them over and over again. No more using those junk plastic bags you find in the produce area. Of the many types of produce I have used these bags for range from onions, cucumbers, tomatoes, plums, berries, and apples to name a few.


The other aspect of these bags is the breatheable mesh they are made from. This is so much better then leaving your produce in those junk plastic bags. I am guilty of doing this and I know this is not good but sometimes I am lazy. Now I can put the produce directly in the fridge in the mesh bag and I do not have to worry about them and it makes my life a bit more lazy!


If you are looking to become more eco-friendly these are a great set of bags to help you along that journey. The bags offer a breatheable mesh netting, seem to be durable, and can be reused. I would like to thank Kakolee and affiliates for sending me this set of produce bags to try out and share my opinion.

Car Wastebasket or Storage Review

This is a small bag for use in your vehicle. It is a medium sized bag for a trash can or storage bag for a vechile. There are 3 color choices for the storage bag stipe. These colors are black, green, and pink. Upon placing an order for this you get the trash can and 20 liners.


This is a soft sided bag used for trash or storage in your car. The soft sides are great on your calves when you get in your car. Most are firm and do not flex much and will scratch your legs up some if you are not careful getting in the car. The sides are soft but they do hold an upright shape and does not crumple down from sitting in place for an extended amount of time.


On the top side of the bag there is a Velcro strip to hold the top closed as long as you do not have a liner in place. This works great as a storage bag that you can close. It does not seal tight but it is enough to prevent the contents from rolling out of the bag. Now there is also a strap that will go around a permenant fixture of the vehicle to hold it in place while going down the road. I have mine around the base of the third seat in my vehicle.


Now for the bags that come along with this storage/trash bin. I do not think they are a very good bag. The bags seem to tear very easy. I was putting my first liner inside the bin and as I was rolling it down over the top lip of the bin the bag ripped on the corner of the bin. If you put a little bit of weight in the bag it will also tend to rip really easy as well. If you are interested in these liners they come in a box of 40 and this is the link: http://amzn.com/B01466XCSA


If you are in the market for a travel bag, storage bag, or trash bin this bag is versitile enough to cover your needs. It offers soft sides, the ability to close at the top, can anchor securely, and comes in a few color choices. I would like to thank Drive Auto Products and affiliates for sending me this bin to try out and share my opinion.

Areta Pulse Oximeter Review

This is a very nice device to have around the house to help monitor you body. It is very easy to use this device to take your pulse and oxygen saturation in your blood. Upon ordering this Oximeter it comes with the meter, carrying case, strap for the case, 2 AA batteries, and an instructions manual.

This meter is great to check your oxygen level. This makes it where you can monitor for things like asthma, copd effects, and geriatric levels of Oxygen. This is will tell the story as to if you need to stop and take a few deep breaths to get your chemistry correct to carry on with your activities. It will also let you know if there is a need to seek medical attention because the Oxygen level may be to low. Next the meter will also show your pulse rate. This is great to make sure your heart is not going crazy and beating 4 times its normal pace. If it is you know to seek help quickly.


The meter also has a rotating screen to make it more user friendly. This means as you are looking at the screen if you change the position of your hand the screen will rotate to make it easier to read. No more having to try and read the screen while it is upside down. Next the screen lights up nicely with big easy numbers to read. These numbers are also light up very bright so it is easy to read. The Oxygen reading is a very bold and bright set of numbers. The pulse rate is a bit smaller and a little less bright to make it easy to tell which one is for what stat.


The last thing on the meter screen to talk about is the pulse meter. This will beep at you as your pulse strikes the unit. It also looks a lot like an EKG going across the side of the unit. Being so small on this part of the graph you could not really tell if it was spiking from the graph. However you could tell real quick if you pulse is out of bounds with how quickly it is beating.


Using this Oximeter is very easy. First thing you need to do is place the batteries into the unit. Make sure you do put them in correctly or the unit will not function. Next I took of the thin film that was across the screen of the unit. This is something you do not have to do, I think it looks better without the film on it. Now you place it on the index finger, and if that is not an option the nearest finger to where the index finger. Now you press the button on the top of the unit at the edged of the read out screen. This is a small, gray, half moon shaped button. Lastly you read what the meter is displaying to finish your reading. Once you are done with your testing, remove the Oximeter from the finger and put it away in the case. The meter will shut off on its own. It takes 5 or 6 seconds for the meter to shut down.


If you are in the market to gather items to manage your health better from home this is a great meter to start with. It is very easy to read, setup is a breeze, simple to use, compact, and very light weight. This unit also comes with a lifetime product replacement guarantee. I would like to thank Easy At Home Medical LLC and affiliates for sending me this Oximeter to try out and share my opinion.

Garlic Press Review

This is a very handy kitchen gadget to have around. Makes using fresh garlic a lot easier. The garlic press is made from stainless steel. The press is very easy to operate and clean.


If you have ever tried to use fresh garlic by crushing it with the blade of a knife then you know the pain. This removes all the pain from that process. Simply pull off the husk enough to get a clove broke loose. You do not have to peel the clove to use the press. Next you place the clove of garlic in the round bowl area of the press and squish the garlic with the plunger. Then the garlic comes out of the mincer area with out the skin and ready for use.


Now for cleaning the press it is very simple. It is stainless steel so it is dishwasher safe if you want to go that route. I use warm soapy water and a dish cloth. Now this press have the removeable mincer that makes it very easy to clean. If you leave a bit of the skin on the clove when you press, it will be in them mincer cup. It is very easy to remove from the cup. I use a tooth pick since I have huge hands and can not get my fingers in there to pull it out. I just hook the skin and it comes right out.


The only thing that I do not like about the press is the plunger for the press. It works fine but sometimes you have to, for a better word, jiggle it or it can bind up on the press. It is only because the plunger does start in at a bit of an awkward angle. There is nothing really wrong with it but it can bind up on you if you are in a hurry and you may have to spend an extra 5 seconds getting it to press your garlic. Not a huge leak in time but worth mentioning.


If you are looking for a garic press this is one that you should consider. It is very inexpensive, the press does nicely with mincing your garlic, super easy to clean, and has a removeable mincer bowl. I would like to thank Spotti Wear and affiliates for sending me this garlic press to try out and share my opinion.

Anti-Fatigue Mat Review

This is a 20 by 30 inch foam mat designed to reduce muscle and leg fatigue from standing in one spot for a long period of time. The mat is thicker then most I have seen on the market at almost an inch thick. This mat is very light weight which makes it very easy to move and clean as needed.


I am going to start with the surface of the mat. It is a smooth black surface. The top can be a bit slippery if you get it wet. So be warned and ready for some slipage on the top side of the mat. Now on the back surface of the mat it has an anti-slip surface to keep the mat from moving when you do step upon the mat. There is also a trailing downward edge around the mat to help prevent catching your shoes/feet on as you are stepping onto the mat as well.


When it comes to durability the mat is mid grade across the board. This mat is designed for clean environments like at a desk or maybe at the sink area of your kitchen for doing dishes. In these situations the mat is amazing and will stand up with out any problems. With the product being made from a foam type substance it does not do well at areas like a shop work desk area. You should consider a rubber mat for a shop environment. I know when I am working on things I tend to drop sharp, hard, jagged, and sometimes even hot which does not work well with the foam material.


The mat does however help with what it is intended to do. It does help reduce the muscle fatigue from standing in one place for a long period of time. It will not get rid of all of the pain from my experience but I have not found anything that will do that. I have also noticed that the ache at my heels are also much less then normal after standing on this mat. The mat claims to help reduce pain in the knees but I was unable to determin if there was any help. I am not sure there really is anything to help with my knees though.


If you are looking for a nice mat to help reduce fatigue and aches this mat can help reduce the pain. It is very light weight, thick, and does help reduce pain. I would like to thank Standee Co. and affiliates for sending me this anti-fatigue mat to try out and share my opinion.
