Bathroom accessories are not always glamorous. More than not, I am sure you never talk about them with people, and forget to think about them when you are out and about shopping. Nonetheless, they are necessary items in our homes. I came across one company that offers some pretty nice quality items, so I decided to share them on my blog. I had the privilege to test out these products:

1.       Premium Bath Tub Mat – Non-Slip & Anti-Bacterial with suction cups – 29 x 16 in. long, White.

2.       Sammy Tub Side Bath Kneeler & Garden Kneeling Pad with Hook: Orange.

3.       Clean Healthy Living 70×71-Inch PEVA Shower Curtain Liner, White.

4.       Clean Healthy Living Roller Shower Curtain Rings – Polished Stainless Steel.

What I noticed about each product, was the quality. Everything was well made. Everything was practical in use, and not a frivolous expenditure. Quality materials were used in production. Nothing was unhealthy to breathe in. The shower curtain liner is mildew-resistant non-toxic PEVA. I love that. No horrible, unhealthy smells, like the normal PVC shower curtain liners give out. It has 12 rustproof metal grommets, so it’s easy to hang and use. To top it off this liner even has three magnets and 4 suction cups to help keep it in place. The shower curtain liner measures out at 70” x 71” in size.

The Shower curtain rings are made out o stainless steel. So, you will not have any rust worries with these. We love this style of curtain ring, and have been using them for years. Each ring has 5 stainless balls on them, and they really let you roll the curtain across the pole. They do not catch, or get stuck, they just keep on rolling. They watch have a full closure on them as well, and you never have to worry about your curtain falling off the hook. That is a pet peeve of mine. These are so durable and well made, they should last for years.

The other two items I received are a shower mat, and a kneeling pad. They are both made with great quality. Mine arrived in perfect condition. One of my children’s friends past away by falling in the shower. It really never occurred to me, until that happened, about what a possibility it could be. This one is a neural color, thick, and covered with tiny suction cups. It holds very well, and did not have any odor upon arrival. It measures 29” long x 16” wide, so it’s a pretty good size. Just remember to pull it up and let it dry after each use, to prolong its lifespan. It does have antibacterial properties to it, as well.  This bath mat is actually eco-friendly to. “It’s made of Thermoplastic Elastomer (TPE). This microban material is organic, BPA free, and therefore healthier for your family.” I love that! The kneeling pad, I feel can also be used for bleacher seating. It will not just keep your knees from hurting, but your tushy too, lol. I love the large goldfish design. Mine arrived in perfect condition. Kneeling by the tub can be very, very uncomfortable. I love the size, color, and shape of this pad. It’s fun, and endearing. It can be used for so many applications: bathing a little one, gardening, tiling, and home improvement application where you are kneeling, and scooching around, stadium seating, picnic benches, or any other hard seating surface. It’s covered in a neoprene fabric, which is durable, water resistant, and easy to clean. The underside is done on a thick, vinyl like material. It stays put when you press weight onto it. I thought it would be slippery, but I tried it on smooth flooring, in different tests, and it stays put with weight pressing down on it, even just one foot. It has a nylon webbing carry handle. It has a Velcro closure on it, so you could strap it to your towel rack, or stroller, if needed. This mat measures out at 13 ½” long and 12 ½” wide. It’s really cute!

Overall, I am really happy with this company’s products. They are made to be healthier for you, and to last. They are also competitively priced.

I received these items at a discount. I was under no obligation to leave my unbiased and honest review.

The healthy way to light your home. – Skullis’ Himalayan Rock Crystal Salt Lamp with Dimmable Switch. https://cspierdowis.com/the-healthy-way-to-light-your-home-skullis-himalayan-rock-crystal-salt-lamp-with-dimmable-switch/ https://cspierdowis.com/the-healthy-way-to-light-your-home-skullis-himalayan-rock-crystal-salt-lamp-with-dimmable-switch/#comments Wed, 06 Jul 2016 02:50:05 +0000 https://cspierdowis.com/?p=4511

I am a fan of salt rock lamps. My mom has had one for years. It’s something that is not only beautiful to have in home, but is also beneficial for you. The ways that it can be beneficial to you are also personal. Or example, I find the light very soothing and relaxing, where others may not even care about it. Sometimes things that are very beneficial to your wellbeing are more of a personal choice.  I received this salt lamp from Skullis in their smaller size. This lamp can range anywhere from 3 – 4.5lbs in size. They do also offer it in a larger size, 6-11lbs. What I really appreciate, is that when my light arrived, they had also included 3 bulbs with it. It only uses 1 bulb, but now I have two for back up. The bulbs are 15 watt bulbs. I want to see if I can find a LED alternative. Since they packed it so well, all three bulbs worked upon arrival as well. In matter of fact, the entire lamp was wrapped really well. I had to use scissors to cut off the saran wrap type wrapping protecting the salt lamp itself. This unit uses a traditional house plug. It is American 2 prong plug as well. The salt lamp is a natural Himalayan salt lamp. The color when the lamp isn’t on is a darker orange/pink. Salmon may be the more correct way to call the color. Since it is a natural product, the color may vary. When the lamp is on, the entire salt lamp glows a brighter hue. It is so gorgeous on. You can determine the brightness level too. There is a dimmer on the cord approx.. ¼ of the way down the cord. Now, the salt rock is separate from the lamp base. Screw on the light bulb, and plug in the base. Then, carefully rest the salt rock on top of the light bulb. There is obviously a hole cut out of the center, bottom of the salt rock to accommodate the bulb. For all of you thinking, what the heck does this lamp do, this is from the ad page directly: “Natural Himalayan salt lamp will absorb moisture from the air, and then evaporated to release negative ions. It can play a role in purifying the air, called natural ionic air purifiers”. I obviously can’t measure what’s going on in the air when I use it, but Even my mom enjoys having one in her home, and she hates using electricity if she doesn’t have to, lol. They make a great accent light/night light as well. They are truly relaxing to have on in the evening. The warm glow is gorgeous, and knowing it helps your air makes it extra soothing, mentally. It does help the ambiance for the room for a romantic evening as well. After being on for hours, the light does not get hot to the touch. You can gran it with your palm fully embracing it, and it is only slightly warm to the touch. That is a great thing when you have pets and children in the home. You can feel safe with this on. Now, from past experience, my mom states that if you open your windows a lot, the humidity can eat at the salt block of the light. So, you might want to place it in a more non humid environment. We normally have the air conditioner on, but her air went out a few years ago, and experienced this with her Rock Salt Lamp, then. I absolutely love my Himalayan Salt Lamp. It’s a great addition to our home.

https://cspierdowis.com/3101/ https://cspierdowis.com/3101/#respond Sat, 19 Mar 2016 05:19:55 +0000 https://cspierdowis.com/?p=3101 I have been taking Resveratrol twice a day, for a little over 3 years now. It has made a big difference in my life, and I will always take it now. I am very picky about the product though. There are a lot of inferior Resveratrol supplements on the market. The ingredients and strength of this product was great enough, for me to take the chance on it. I have insane allergies, and a lot to foods and how foods are processed. My diet is limited, so I am dependent on certain supplements. Resveratrol helped me stabilize my health. I was having occasional flutters with my pulse, and weakness. My diet wasn’t giving my body what it needed, until I introduced Resveratrol. Now, with all of my anaphylactic reactions, and my odd diet, lol, I am able to stabilize and maintain my health. My blood work comes back perfect. I rebound faster than without it. I truly believe in all of the heart healthy benefits, and health you can read about Resveratrol. It really helped me, and continues to do so.

Resveratrol 2

This particular Resveratrol is a Non GMO, Organic product. It is made here in the USA, which is also very important to us. There are 30 servings in a bottle. A serving is 2 capsules, for a total of 60 capsules. The ingredients in each capsule are: 500mg organic Resveratrol, organic Pullulan, and Organic Rice Flour. Resveratrol is a powerful antioxidant. They provide a strong, organic, plant based form of trans Resveratrol in each capsule. A lot of capsules are made from Pullulan, so that is what this capsule is actually made out of. So, these capsules are vegetarian in nature. They also practice great allergen control at their plant. These capsules were made with no: yeast, wheat, gluten, dairy, tree nuts, corn, soy, eggs, sugar, peanuts, fish, shell fish, or hydrogenated oils.

I am newer to these capsules, but so far so good. They have little odor to them. It’s slight, and a natural scent, like my other ones. They do not cause any stomach upset at all. I always take them with my organic milk in the morning and evening. They are a slender sized capsule, and easier to swallow than some others.

I was afforded the opportunity to review USA Premium Supplements’ USDA Certified Organic Resveratrol – Pure Organic 1,000mg Resveratrol (500mg Trans-Resveratrol) Per Serving – NON-GMO Project – Powerful Antioxidant, in exchange for an unbiased and honest review.

The healthy way to disperse essential oils. – Housmile’s 100ml Aroma Essential Oil Diffuser. https://cspierdowis.com/the-healthy-way-to-disperse-essential-oils-housmiles-100ml-aroma-essential-oil-diffuser/ https://cspierdowis.com/the-healthy-way-to-disperse-essential-oils-housmiles-100ml-aroma-essential-oil-diffuser/#comments Sat, 12 Mar 2016 06:24:21 +0000 https://cspierdowis.com/?p=2914

I am a fan of essential oil diffusers. They are so healthy for you, and this one is very easy to operate as well. Essential oils aren’t healthy to heat up. Heating them up changes their chemical makeup. So, an essential oil diffuser is one of the easiest ways to diffuse them through the home. They ionize the molecules and break the water and oils down small enough to be inhaled by you. This diffuser never gets hot to the touch, even with their LED lights running. This diffuser can hold 100ml of water in it. To fill it, just lift off the top of the diffuser, and you will see the water reservoir. The even include a mini water pitcher to fill it with. This diffuser it very well labeled. Not all of them are. They breakdown the water lines at: 20, 40, 60, 80, and 100ml. The water drain side is even labeled. There are even two black dots that line up when your cover is put back on correctly. This diffuser has two buttons on it: mist and light. You can choose to run this on light mode only, diffuser mode only, or both at the same time. The diffuser has timer options, and they work really well. You can set it for 30, 60, 120, or 180 minutes. You press the mist button until the LED light stops on the wanted time frame. It shuts off at that time limit, too. There is a safety mechanism built into this diffuser. When the water runs out, the machine stops running. It will not overheat on you. If someone was to knock it over, the water would run out, and it will shut off. After you place your water into the diffuser, place about 4 -6 drops of your essential oil into the water. It depends on the strength of your oil, and size of your room. If your room is large, with this size, place it a little closer to where everyone is. I love the LED colors. They rotate through. If you press the button more than once, you can choose the LED color you want it to stay on. This is a nice option. This is a lightweight, and nice working unit. I love to run Eucalyptus in mine, and Lavender as well. Lavender is so relaxing, and Eucalyptus really helps to open the sinuses and airways. Peppermint is also a great one to use. There are so many options, lol.

I was afforded the opportunity to review Housmile’s 100ml Aroma Essential Oil Diffuser for free, in exchange for an unbiased and honest review. This product arrives as shown. You will get 1 diffuser, 1 AC power adapter, and 1 water pitcher in your package.
