Ava shower filter Review



Our water is very clean But i still wanted a shower water filter. This filter is very small in size. It mainly removed Fluoride, Chlorine, Algae, Dirt, Lead, Chloramine, Bacteria, Arsenic, Chromium, Zinc, Copper, Selenium, Mercury and Heavy Metals and many more chemicals. It filters up to 99% of all these chemicals hence it balances the pH of water.
Filtered shower water is very important. Filtered water promotes and maintains smooth, glowing skin. It is also good for hair and nails. It make hair and nails healthy. And prevent damage caused because of chemicals.
This filter reduces hard water and its great for sensitive skin. It stops itchy skin.
It is very easy to install. It come with a manual that fully explains the installation. No plumber is needed for the installation. And it fits all the modern shower arms.

vi_114447_f.jpg

Spring is the perfect time to add some new jewelry pieces to your collection. And these aren’t just any pieces. They are cool, modern, unique pieces that will have your feeling like a million bucks – without spending a fortune.
VisibleInterest.com is a wonderland for modern jewelry and like the jewelry itself boasts a clean, sleek appearance. It’s uncluttered and looks like a good friend (one that happens to have super great, stylish taste). 
The careful curation of jewelry with a modern aesthetic is comprised of amazing necklaces, bracelets, rings and more crafted by independent jewelry designers in a range of price points. 
Being able to shop by jewelry type, look, price, designer, etc. makes it simple to find just the right selection for your individual style
The modern look of all the pieces make a bold statement while seeming to say less is more. The pieces may speak for themselves, but naturally you’re going to get all compliments.
The jewelry shown below is all beautiful, but I keep going back to the Nico Ring with the chant, “Want. Want. Want” in my head. I’ve also been on the hunt for a standout cuff bracelet (which is a very hot trend) and just may have found it. Here are my top ten favorites for spring.
  1. Labradorite Cuff - This 7 inch open cuff is hand cast in Bronze with 6mm hand-picked Labradorite stones at each end.
  2. Nico Ring is Sterling Silver- This is a unique, minimalist double ring with a vertical bar that is made in White Gold plate over Sterling Silver.
  3. Tiny Pearl Earrings - A cool, modern twist on freshwater cultured pearls on dainty solid 14K Gold hoop earrings that are designed to hug the earlobe.
  4. Cracked Earth Ring in Brass - This stunning, tall, 2 inch ring is a free form open weave ring in Brass and extends beyond knuckle to knuckle. 
  5. Golden Petite Starburst Pendant Necklace - A statement piece that features signature detail with 18k Gold Plate over solid Sterling Silver and a contrasting 18K White Gold ball artistically incorporated into the sunburst design. The chain is adjustable to 16-17-18 inches. 
  6. Bold Cactus Cuff in Silver - This amazing wide (1 ½ inch) solid Sterling Silver open weave cuff bracelet is crafted from the honeycomb skeleton of a prickly pear cactus and features contoured, organic edges and a shiny finish.
  7. Gemstone Lariat- This casual, stylish Lariat Gold fill chain necklace measures 16 inches with a 1 1/2 inch drop and is available in Sapphire, Turquoise, Ruby and Carnelian 
  8. Herkimer Diamond Earrings - The diamond earring studs are an affordable modern take on diamond stud earrings. 
  9. Bound Ring in Gold - Each Bound Ring is one of a kind. The material is shaped by the artist's hand and can display slightly different shapes. The ring, which is 14K Yellow Gold wrapped with an 18K Yellow Gold setting and has a 2mm White Diamond, can be slightly altered by gently splaying the layers of Gold wire apart or pushing them closer together. 
  10. Prayer Stick Choker - This 2 ½ inch indented Sterling Silver bar pendant dangles on a naturally dyed leather choker that is available with black or brown leather.

I didn't use lemon squeezer before. My mother got one but i never try to use it. I squeeze the lemons with my hands all the time because i find it more easier. But i was wrong. It is very hard to squeeze lemon with hands than using this lemon squeezer.
It is heavy in weight and large in size. The stainless is of very good quality. On the lower part it have a strainer while with the upper part it squeeze the lemon. It is good to have a strainer that wont let seeds go inside food. It is far more easier to squeeze lemons with this queezer specially when you need a large amount of lemon juice.
It is easy to use. Simply cut the lemon and put half of the lemon in the squeezer facing juicy side of the lemon downwards, towards the strainer. Press the above part on the lomen's back and in seconds you will get lemon juice.
Another good thing about this lemon squeezer is that it fully squeeze the lemon even upto the last drop of juice. It is very easy to clean. The good thing is that it is dish washer save.

Seaweed Complex Lotion By Foxbrim Review

                              


I really liked this lotion because of the presence of sea weeds and ocean minerals. The bottle consists of a pump which makes it easy to pour out desired amount of lotion. The lotion is white in colour. It goes on light and smooth. It is non-greasy and a little bit goes a long way.
I pump out some moisturizer on my fingers and applied it on my face. In few seconds it completely absorbs in the skin. It doesn't feel greasy at all. I really don't like the creams and moisturisers that feels little greasy or oily. It really keeps the skin moisturised.
It helps soothe dry, itchy, or irritated skin patches. It makes the skin looks and feels smooth and soft. It is good for all skin types.



I can't say I notice too much of a reduction in AntiAging features. But this is a very good moisturiser with the best ingredients like ocean minerals and sea weeds. I'm excited to continue this product. With that, it haven't had any negative impact on my skin (haven't made me break out or anything like that), so there's really nothing lost to continue.
I got a sample to give my honest and unbiased opinion.

Syono Orthotic Shoe Inserts and Gel Insoles


The Syono Orthotic Shoe Inserts and Gel Insoles are a set of orthotic insoles and inserts that provide cushioning and support to alleviate pain throughout your body. I got these Gel Insoles for my father. He walk a lot and he really need comfortable shoes. I was very happy to get these insoles. One size fits all. When i got these the size was very  bigger and it didn't fit my father's shoes. The best thing is that it can be cut with the scissor. It have size and shape marks already made to make cutting easier. I cut them according to his shoes and believe me these feel so comfortable.  


They are great for daily use. It really prevents foot pain, back pain. It really provides comfort to the ankles, knees and hips. They are very light weight, you don't even feel like you have something in your shoes. Walking, running, and standing become easier and less painful.
