Vitamin E



I've been looking for a Vitamin E supplement for a while, and this one by #Natrogix is great because it's one softgel to give you 1000mg of Vitamin E, which is the daily upper limit. I actually take one every other day. The pills are the size of a fish oil pill and are orange/rust in color. They don't taste like anything although they do have a smell that reminds me of fish oil pills (it's not gross or super strong, though). They are pretty easy to swallow, but I take mine with a mouthful of food to make it even easier. I haven't had any side effects from taking these. 

CoQ10



I take this CoQ10 to help my cell health in general. I don't necessarily feel any different, but my doctor tells me they can make a difference. I take one softgel per day, so this bottle lasts me 2 months. The softgels are small and oval shaped and are easy to swallow. They are dark khaki colored and smell slightly earthy. They don't taste like anything. I have not had any side effects while taking these. It's a large bottle for a few pills, so it feels like wasted space, but this is common for supplements and not a huge deal. I'm not sure why they've but titanium dioxide and caramel in these; adding extra ingredients to make them look pretty seems silly to me.  http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01H3J1RPM

Coffee Dripper




This is a stainless steel coffee dripper that you can use without a filter (it is a filter itself) for coffee and tea to brew one cup at a time easily without other gear or creating trash. It's perfect for camping or travel as well as normal, daily use. It's easy to clean by hand or in the dishwasher.

It has a handle that is coated in silicone so you won't burn your fingers. The mesh filter is fine, so you won't get particles in your drink. The base has a nice groove in it to make sure it won't slide or fall off of your pot or cup. The set also includes a coffee scoop. It works very well and the coffee tastes great through it! I received this item for free in exchange for my honest review. #ONMEStainlessSteelPourOverCoffeeFilterDripper

Pump




This is a manual breast pump set that includes a couple of breast pads, a couple of milk storage bags, a bottle with nipple, a bottle lid with attached storage piece (this was hard to screw on and off properly), pump with handle and phalange, removable soft phalange shield, and phalange cover that doubles as a bottle stand (If you push hard enough). The whole thing is pretty easy to use and take apart for cleaning. The phalange cover is soft and comfortable. The suction is not as strong as some other manuals pumps I've seen, but I think that's a personal preference. It's nice and small, so it's great for travel or using at work, etc. Your hand will get tired after a bit until you get used to it and build up the muscles. I received this item for free in exchange for my honest review. #MygreatbabyEasybreastpump

Kettle




This is a nice electric kettle for heating water. It can hold/heat 1 L of water at a time. It's made of a stainless steel body and looks sleek. It has a curvy long pour spout on one side and a heat resistant plastic handle on the other. The base is black plastic as well. On the back is an on/off switch so it won't be heating when you don't want it to.

There is a light on it to let you know when it's heating and when it's done and it turns off automatically at a certain temperature for safety. The lid fits snugly but is not too hard to take off (it also has a black plastic handle that is heat resistant). This kettle is easy to use and safe! I received this item at a discounted rate in exchange for my honest review.

Baby Changing Pad



This is a pad for laying baby on to change a diaper. You can set it in a changing table, on a dresser or table, or even on the floor. It has straps so you can secure (with screws included) it to your surface to make sure it won't slide off. It also has buckle straps to keep baby in it as well as edges (triangle shaped) to keep baby from rolling off onto the floor. Your baby will be safe and secure on this changing pad.

It's 32 inches long and 17 inches wide. It's white in color and is pretty soft. The cover fabric is thick and durable as well as waterproof, so you won't even have to buy a separate waterproof layer. You can wipe messes off easily with a washcloth. It smells faintly when you first open the package, but after airing out for a couple of days, it's much better. I received this item for free in exchange for my honest review. #MoonlightSlumber

Straw Lid




This is a straw lid for water bottles. It works best with the metal ones and is a standard size. This lid screws into the inside of the bottle mouth and seals tight. It fits my random water bottle perfectly. The set includes one straw (which can be trimmed for length if desired), a cleaning brush, the lid with mouthpiece and handle, and a carabineer in case you want to hang it from your pack/belt/etc.

The lid is durable plastic. The straw piece attaches easily to the mouth piece on the inside and it's easy to remove and clean with the brush provided. The mouth piece can be bent closed to prevent leaking while traveling. It's easy to drink from the straw and it doesn't make the water taste like anything. I received this item for free in exchange for my honest review. #hydroflask
