My Instagram

Small size dimensions 15" x 10", Medium size dimensions 18" x 12". These packing sleeves minimize wrinkles and keeps your clothes in place during travel. They maximize luggage space by compressing your clothes. Each packing sleeve includes a folding board which ha instruction on how to fold your shirts. 

I have never used a packing envelope or folder. The Dot&Dot 18" Packing Sleeve is amazing! It arrived quickly, thanks to Amazon PRIME. The quality of this product is amazing, great quality material and a sturdy construction. Product design is simple and it even comes with detailed instructions on how to use it.

I didn't have a specific use for this packing sleeve when I was asked to review it and ordered it but now I'm moving and this packing sleeve has been extremely helpful! I was able to pack 12 blouses in the Dot&Dot 18" Packing Sleeve and 6 pairs of slacks in the 15" sleeve! That's about half of my closet!

The best feature of this packing sleeve is the ability to adjust its size. You can adjust the size to fit exactly according to the amount of clothing that you have stored within the packing sleeve. So even if you remove one item from the packing sleeve you can adjust it to securely hold everything remaining.

These packing sleeves also come packaged in plastic zippered bags which can be reused as packing bags or to store the packing sleeve when not in use. Very useful too!

The folding board is printed with instruction on how to fold shirts but no directions on folding pants. I was able to figure out a way to fold them but those instructions would be nice. 

This sleeve was a great way for me to reduce the size of my closet during the move without worrying about wrinkles but it is also great for packing for vacations. I highly recommend this product for both uses! The Dot&Dot 18" Packing Sleeve allows you to cut down on the volume of your pack and stay presentable in appearance.

My Review

My Instagram

I have thick, full hair already but I am always shedding. I wanted to try this product to help stop the shedding. My hair is everywhere and I leave strands of it all over the floors plus running my fingers through my hair in the shower trying to de-tangle it I lose strands. This is all very normal but I want it to be reduced a bit. Though I have thick, dry, long hair and it often gets weighted down on the top. I want full voluminous hair! I want hydrated hair! I have been using Argan oil in my hair for years and without it, I think my hair would be much dryer. I have used it on my skin before but felt it left my hands a bit greasy feeling. I can't wait to try all of these!
I love bottles with built in pumps and this one works well. It does not dispense too much which is nice because you really don't need a lot of the shampoo to do the job. I was surprised at how well it lathered because in my experience lathering shampoos strip my hair more.
  

Premium Organic Argan Oil Based Hair Loss Prevention Shampoo The first thing I noticed with this product is the scent, it smells kind of like pine trees and Christmas. The smell isn't particularly strong or unappealing and mostly washes out with the rinse. But it is soothing and relaxing and made me feel so much better even just with washing my hair. Premium Organic Argan Oil Based Conditioner I also love the scent of this shampoo, a vanilla and herb scent and it goes well with the scent of the shampoo. I have been using it along with the shampoo and I have been very pleased. Not only with my results but also with the scent post shower. My hair feels smooth and clean after each shower and I'm not feeling any buildup. The shampoo goes a long way but the conditioner doesn't quite match up. I always use more shampoo than conditioner than shampoo, I mean I go through two to four bottles of conditioner for each bottle of shampoo usually. Because of the price of these products, I don't see myself buying more of this product because of the price. With this conditioner I need to use much more than I would with other products I have used in the past t have the same result. If I use any less, my hair is unmanageable. Pure and Organic Argan Oil I have been trying to grow out my hair for a while now and it is now long, wavy/curly and dry. It can be hard to keep healthy and strong and it's hard to care for it. I have tried different brands of Argan oil in the past but some of them are just too expensive for how they work. Many of them got rid of flyaways but my hair felt greasy. I only shower every other day because shampoo dries out my hair more but I found myself shampooing more than usual. I love that Pura D'or is organic, with no fillers or additives! After using this product for a few days my hair feels healthier and hydrated without feeling greasy. My loose waves have continued to flourish and I just love it!

As a bonus, for the month of February Pura d'or has a special Valentines Day Coupon for 10% off your entire order, just enter Valentines2015 at checkout! PLUS you will receive a free 1oz bottle of Argan oil with any purchases. This is a limited time offer, only for Feburary so hurry and get yours today!

Weight Gurus Body Composition Scale Review

Weight Gurus - Amazon

Every Greater Goods product is backed by a 100% Satisfaction Guarantee. If you purchase a product from them and for any reason the item does not meet your expectations, the company urges you to contact them. They will do what they can to resolve any issues.

Greater Goods strives to make the best-in-class products while giving back to great organizations. Greater goods for the greater good.

My Instagram

This scale is not only a Greater Goods product, it works toward the greater good. This scale provides accurate measurements, an easy-to-read display, an analysis of your health metrics, optional smartphone tracking, and optional weightless weighing. 

The scale also has the following features:

• Auto Step-on
• Auto Off
• Auto calibration
• Auto user detect, supports up to 8 users
• Non-slip, scratch resistant feet
• 4 ultra-precision weighing sensors
• 400lb capacity

100% Satisfaction Guarantee. 5 Year Warranty. Fast, friendly, and helpful service from their local, US office via email or phone. What do you have to lose at this point? Just weight, right?!

My Review

I like that this scale has a large readout, larger than most even. I just wish that the indicators that show which of the other readings you are seeing (BMI, Muscle, Water, Bone) were larger as well. The reading on this scale are consistent. And unlike other scales I have tried, if you step on the scale, and do so 5 minutes later, you should get the same result. I weighed myself twice in a row, a few minutes apart and got the same reading both times. Again, this scale is accurate. Setup for this scale was pretty easy but the manual had some drawbacks. Listen to me, the technical writer who writes ho to documents lecturing on this sub-par manual. I just wish that it had a few more prompts or pictures to guide the user through getting started with the setup.

There are 5 different data points for "level of athletics" to make the BMI measurements conform. I have never had my BMI professionally calculated so I have no real basis for comparison.

My Instagram

I think one of the nicest features is the Weightless Technology. The scale lets you manage your weight by how much you’ve lost instead of how much you weigh. With Weightless, you decide how to view your weight: by the number or weightlessly by weight change. It’s a great feature for anyone who hates getting on the scale to view your typical weight.

There is a free application that lets you sync weight, body fat and muscle mass automatically with iOS and Android devices. With the free Weight Gurus App you can store weight entries, view trends, and chart progress. You can enter your current weight manually on the app or scan your weight directly from the scale onto your phone like using a bar code scanner. The app does not automatically sync your weight, you will need to take actions.

When comparing the Weight Gurus Body Composition Scale to other, similar scales in the same price range, the Weight Gurus scale does everything right, and the iOS and Android application just sweetens the deal.

Lunch Bag Hango™ Set of Two Sizes (Small & Large) Review

Hango™ is THE lunch bag for everywhere. Anytime. It is the first lunch bag designed for different situations. Here are 5 reasons to choose the Hango™ as YOUR Lunch Bag:

1. It is a set of TWO SIZES for different occasions.
2. It has THE BEST THERMAL INSULATION SYSTEM - your food is kept at temperature longer. 
3. The zipper made of stainless steel - much more BEAUTIFUL AND DURABLE.
4. High quality material (polyester 300D with high density) and a VERY PRETTY DESIGN.
5. It comes with a LIFETIME WARRANTY (Order yours now because there is absolutely no risk!)

The Hango™ Lunch Bag makes a great gift for someone too! The set comes inside of a beautiful gift bag, made of 100% cotton. Everyone will love it! The package includes: 1x Black Lunch Bag (Large) 6 inches long x 6 inches high x 10 inches wide, 1x Black Lunch Bag (Small) 5 inches long x 5 inches high x 7.5 inches wide, 1x 100% cotton gift bag.
 

My Review

These lunch boxes look fantastic, even the cotton gift bag they came in looks amazing! I have been using the large one to hold my Tupperware containers, snacks, fruits, and the utensils. I haven't been using the small one as much but it would be great for bringing in snacks for the afternoon. The lunch box has aluminum within the walls helping it keep shape but also keeps the food/drinks cool or warm, depending the temperature they are when you put them into the lunch bag. These lunch bags are durable, they hold a decent amount of things and are just plain cute! I really love that there's two sizes for these bags because some-days that you only pack a lite lunch which means you don't need to carry a large lunch bag. The large lunch bag can fit a standard lunch with all of the extra snacks in it and the small lunch bag is great for a sandwich & bag of chips.

The zipper is made of stainless steel, so you do not have to worry about it falling off. Overall Hango Lunch Bags are a quality Product and I would highly recommend buying them. You will not be disappointed with your purchase.

Foxbrim Vitiman C Lotion Review

My Instagram

Expect more from your Daily Moisturizer. It Starts With Quality Skin Protection With Proven Vitamin C. Moisture and More. All The Benefits In A Single Bottle. Foxbrim Vitamin C Lotion. This vitamin C lotion allows you to create healthy hydrated skin that radiates.

• Effectively lighten spots and discoloration
• Reduce wrinkle formation and existing wrinkles
• Refine and even skin texture
• Promote skin cell turnover

Key Ingredients include Vitamin C (15%), Aloe Vera, MSM, Shea Butter, Jojoba Oil, and Green Tea.

Formulated for all skin types, this natural lotion is soothing and non-irritating even for the most sensitive of skin types. Moisturize without worry, healthy hydration in a bottle.

My Review

I have used this product for a few days now and I'm not entirely impressed. I should clarify that I have fairly dry skin in some spots on my face so I use a moisturizer that helps to combat that already. This product doesn't help a lot with my fairly dry skin patches but it leaves my less dry patches moisturized well.  I currently use Nivea face cream which I have my family import to the US from Germany. The formula is different than what you can buy in the US. It is a rich paste that I slather my face in daily and it keeps me moisturized evenly, even on those pesky dry spots. Because I am so used to using something so thick and moisturizing, this product just didn't make the cut for me. It doesn't exactly have a pleasant scent nor is it repulsive, very neutral. Most of all though, it just doesn't moisturize the driest of spots on my face.

I would recommend this product for someone with neutral skin trying to gain the benefits of reducing wrinkles and refined, even skin texture. Or even to someone with oily skin who is trying to find a light weight moisturizer that won't make their skin more oily. Just not for someone with skin as dry as mine, even if just in patches.

11-in-1 Credit Card Multi-tool Review

My Instagram

This 11-in-1 Credit Card Multi-tool is so handy! It is small enough to fit in your wallet or pocket and can be used in so many different ways too!  

This 11-in-1 credit card multi-tool includes a:

• Can opener
• Knife
• Screwdriver
• Ruler
• Bottle opener
• 4 position wrench
• Butterfly wrench
• Saw blade
• Direction ancillary indication
• 2 position wrench
• Lanyard or key-ring hole

My Instagram

These 11 Useful Tools are perfect for everyday use! The 11-in-1 credit card multi-tool is made of Solid 420 Stainless Steel – perfect for wallets, glove box, overnight bags and purses.  It easily Fits in Your Wallet – Only 2.68″ x 1.78″ x 0.079″, though it is thicker than a credit card.

The 2-inch serrated edge steel blade cuts through tough materials with ease such as seat belts or small trees.  This tool can be used in many situations! Plus this Amazon seller offers fast shipping unlike many of the others who sell this product shipping from China.

My Review

I love products that have multiple uses, and this 11-in-1 credit card milti-tool certainly has multiple uses! This tool has so many uses for being a small piece of steel the size of a credit card. This too has so many different uses. I think the design of the tool is great but the location of the saw and knife could have used a bit more thought out. When you are trying to use one tool such as the screwdriver you are holding the sharp saw in your hand and there's a good chance of cutting yourself. This also hinders you from really getting a good torque on anything. As long as you're very careful, it shouldn't be a problem but you should be careful.   The knife and saw are very sharp, so be sure to keep the 11-in-1 credit card multi-tool housed inside the protective sleeve to avoid an accident.
