Superhero Fitness Tee Shirt Review

Mica's always been such a superhero fan. I was super excited to get a superhero tee shirt to review at BruneiStore: https://mybruneistore.com/free-shipping-2016-t-shirt-supermanbatmanspider-mancaptain-america-hulkiron-man-t-shirt-men-fitness-shirts-men-t-shirts


They have 23 designs to choose from. I wanted the shirt to be a surprise, so I picked out a Captain America shirt. 

It's Patriotic: 

Red, White, Blue with stars and stripes. Happy Fourth of July!


He later told me that they have another Captain America shirt he would have picked. He must like this one though. He took off the shirt he was wearing, threw it on the couch, and wore this one for the rest of the day.

Sizes: 
  • Extra Small
  • Small
  • Medium
  • Large
  • Extra Large
  • Extra, Extra Large
  • Extra, Extra, Extra Large
  • Extra, Extra, Extra, Extra Large
That may seem crazy that they go up that much in sizing. It is Asian sizing, so their shirts run small. I got Mica an Adult Medium thinking it would be a bit big. Nope! It fits just right. If you go buy one, buy up a size or 2 if you're buying for someone that is growing like a weed - like Mica is.

This shirt will fit Mica throughout the fall. Then it might be Isaak's, who is also growing like a weed.

Cost: 

$29.99, but it's on sale for $24.99. They have free shipping worldwide on their site. If you have a PayPal account, you can check out through them.

Design: 

I love that the design is on the front, back and side of their shirts. They are all that way!




So readers what's your favorite superhero? I liked my Wonder Woman Underroos, watching Superman - Christopher Reeve growing up, then when I got older I enjoyed Spider-Man - Toby Maguire. After that I lost interest. Too many superhero movies out there for me.

My boys like it all though. They even saw Wonder Woman with their leadership camp, when I haven't.

Happy Fourth of July!

Thero Kidney Support Plus Review

Threo takes health back to nature by keeping their ingredients as pure as possible. I received Kidney Support Plus to review.


Health:

I haven't mentioned this on the blog very much, but my asthma is out of wack once again. I'm trying to be healthier. I eat fairly healthy, but am tired from working, so I don't exercise as much as I should. I also think I have allergens to some foods. I know Omaha's air quality is horrible. I'm trying a few things (one at a time) to help detox my system.

One of the filters in the body is the kidney's. I'm starting with Kidney Support Plus. I've never had a bladder or urinary tract infection, but I still think I need to take care of my kidneys. These pills really can't hurt anything.

Ingredients:

  • Organic Fruit and Berry Juice - Whole Powder Blend
  • Lemon
  • Amla Fruit
  • Acai Berry
  • Blackberry
  • Goji Fruit
  • Blueberry
  • Noni Fruit 
  • Maqui Berry
  • Mangosteen Fruit
  • Hawthorne Berry
  • Cranberry
  • Concord Grape
  • Banana
  • Apple
  • Pomegranate
  • Strawberry
  • Red Raspberry
  • Orange 
  • Pineapple
  • Cherry

There are other veggie ingredients, but the fruits above are most of the things in the pills. Most of the ingredients I've heard of. There were a few berries that were new to me.



Perks With Threo Kidney Support Plus:
  • Farm Fresh
  • Gluten Free
  • Soy Free
  • Dairy Free
  • Vegetarian
  • Raw
  • Non GMO
  • 30 Billion CFU's
  • 10 Probiotic Strains
  • Can be kept room temperature
  • Long shelf life
  • Vegetarian Plant Gelatin Capsule


They produce 100% pure, raw food supplements to support health using a proprietary low-temperature drying process.

Why Support Your Kidneys? 

The kidneys are one of the most important systems in your body and are tirelessly working hard every day of the year. They are the body’s great waste collectors, and are necessary components to bladder and urinary tract health. By flushing your kidneys of toxins and proactively fighting bacteria, you are able to recognize optimal kidney function. Prime kidney health means fewer infections and better bladder control. As I age bladder control is a slight issue. It's not huge, but if I have to go, I have to go. All the more reason for me to take this.

Why Choose Threo Kidney Support? 

Their product uses a proprietary blend of 42 whole food, raw ingredients formulated to support and rejuvenate kidney health. A main component of our is blend cranberries, a superfruit high in proanthocyanidins, thought to prevent bacteria from clinging to urinary tract walls. By taking this supplement blend, you are able to have confidence in your body’s ability to fight infection and eliminate toxins.

Benefits of Threo Kidney Support:

  • Contains a large amount of raw cranberry extract, which supports urinary tract health 
  • Targeted support aimed specifically at kidneys, bladder and urinary tract system 
  • Assists in the normal function of kidneys to remove waste material from the body  ​
  • 100% pure, vegetable-based raw supplement


The Negatives:

  • There's too much unused space in the bottle. I wish Threo just used a smaller bottle for these pills. It's slightly more than 1/2 full. 
  • They also misspelled "organic" on the front of the bottle. They spelled it, "organinc".

Cost:

$15.99 with Prime, so if you are a Prime Member you'll get free shipping.

Have you ever taken cranberry pills?

Threo Probiotic Review

Probiotics have been my long time go to thing if Mica or Isaak has an eczema spot, if one of us is on antibotics - probiotics puts good bacteria back into the system, one of us has a tummy issues, or to prevent sickness.

Recently I got Threo Probiotic to review.


I'm a college instructor. Lately I've had a lot of students get sick. There's been the stomach bug, a few students with bronchitis, one with pneumonia, and others that cough and sneeze, but don't know what they have. I don't want to get sick if I can help it. I've been opening up 3 probiotics pills to put into our smoothies at breakfast time.


Stay Healthy!

Great health begins in the core of your body, where the intestinal tract is. Approximately 70% of your immune system resides in the intestinal tract. Threo has created a formula with the toughest team probiotic strains to support your health where you need it most. A healthy gut is a happy gut!



Perks With Threo Probitoics:

  • Farm Fresh
  • Gluten Free
  • Soy Free
  • Dairy Free
  • Vegetarian
  • Raw
  • Non GMO
  • 30 Billion CFU's
  • 10 Probiotic Strains
  • Can be kept room temperature
  • Long shelf life
  • Deliver deeply into the intestines
  • No after-taste

30 Capsules

I like everything I read about these probiotics. I just wish the packaging was smaller. The pills only fill up less than 1/2 the bottle. That's a lot of waisted plastic to make the bottle. I'm sure many do not recyle it, and if it is recycled it's again using more resources to complete the task. I wish it was in a container 1/2 the size it's in.

It's $29.99 with Prime, so if you are a Prime Member you'll get free shipping.

Sports Tactical Full Face Mask Review

This Sports Tactical Full Face Mask really does cover my face. 


I originally got this mask for Mica. He's in safety patrol all year. They don't switch kids to give him a break. Winter is right around the corner he needs something to keep him ultra warm. This winter is supposed to be super cold according to The Farmers Almanac.

I like it so much I may keep it for me. Mica can borrow it, or I may just buy another one in a different color. As soon as I step outside to go for a brisk walk, or hiking my asthma acts up. I just wheeze like crazy. I'd love to not have allergies and asthma. If I could have one wish it would be to breathe normally all the time. This mask helps! It blocks the cold air from going into my nose and mouth, yet I still can breathe.

Colors:
  • I got it in Brown.
  • Navy
  • Rose Red (Hot Pink)
  • Wine Red 
All the colors are about the same price. The brown mask was $29.99 and on sale for $9.85. That's a 67% savings! It is on Prime, so if you're a Prime member you'll get shipping for free.

Full Coverage: 

This mask is nice in the fact that it keeps anyone wearing it warm. It's fleece, which will keep you toasty, and the material will wash up well. My only problem is when I go to pull it tighter. My head size is small like a kid's. I just have trouble seeing. It really does cover my whole face once that cord is pulled.

It's meant to fit all sizes, but I almost with they had 3 sizes: Large, Medium and Small. Of course the fabric gives a lot.

If you have a coat that has no hood this is perfect on a cold day! You won't even need a scarf. My neck was fully covered.


Uses:
  • You heard my uses: For Asthma Sufferers and older kids on Safety Patrol
  • Snowboarding
  • Hiking (We do like to go hiking)
  • Climbing
  • Fishing
  • Hunting
  • Survival Game
  • Tactical Mission 
  • Camping 



Do you have a favorite winter hat?

COTUPEP HIGHEST CURCUMIN Turmeric Anti Inflammatory

As I've talked about before I have horrible allergies, and sometimes they get so bad that it triggers my asthma to flair up.

My husband has back issues, and joint problems.

I try to eat anti inflammatory foods. Recently I got COTUPEP to review.


COTUPEP has:

  • Pepper
  • Turmeric
  • Coconut Milk
All of which have anti inflammatory properties.

Pros:

It's versatile. You can have it in just about any drink. I like it best in smoothies so far. It can even be used in salads.

It's anti inflammatory. I'll eat or drink anything that helps with that.

I love that there's no sugar added.

It's made in America.





Cons:

In a really liquid drink you'll need to whisk it a lot. It gets thick and sinks to the bottom. That's why I like it in smoothies a lot. I'm thinking it should come with a small whisk. It also gets messy with their scoop.

In a really liquid drink


In a smoothie: Spinach Leaves, Frozen Mango, Banana, a scoop of COTUPEP and Orange Juice


Cost:

$27.50 on sale for $19.99.



Do you take anything that's anti inflammatory?

Essential Oil for Anxiety and Stress Relief Review

Sickness has hit our household. Isaak has a fever, keeps complaining of a sore throat, has been sleeping a lot, and he's cranky. It doesn't look like strep throat just yet, but we keep watching him. With sickness comes stress. Stress on the body.

I do my mom thing like make him eat, push fluids, and rub his back with Essential Oil for Anxiety and Stress Relief.


It's 100% pure & natural therapeutic grade for peace and calming purposes. I've been using it for a few days now. Right after I used it today he decided he needed sleep. That's not normal for him. Before that he was edgy!

What make this oil different from others? 

It's simple to answer, it comes ready to use. Other oils have to be mixed in other carriers like Olive Oil, or Almond Oil to use.

It came all wrapped in plastic to ensure there were no leaks.



Volume: 50m/ 1.7 fl oz

Concentration: 7% Ingredients:

  • Vanilla
  • Orange Sweet
  • Rose Maroc
  • Geranium China
  • Olive Virgin
  • Sunflower oil
  • Evening Primrose oil
  • Jojoba oil 
It has a screw on lid. You shake it to get the oil out. I do have to say that I like the oils that have the dropper a little better. I find it easier to drop them out into my hand.





 Shelf life:

  • 36 months 
  • Make sure you keep it in a dry and cool place.
Directions:

Use it 15 minutes before taking a bath to prevent feeling greasy. I didn't do this. I just put Isaak's night shirt over where I applied it. He didn't seem to mind. The other times I've used it it was before bath time.



Apply right amount to skin and massage gently, move toward the direction of the heart. Can be used while taking a bath by adding 3 teaspoons into the bathtub.

Best in relieving stress, nervousness and restlessness. I will certainly encourage my boys to use this before tests, and me before midterm and final times.

For best results, use it regularly (once or twice a day).

Cautions:

For external use only. Consult a doctor first if you are pregnant or have physical trauma. Keep the rim clean and the bottle tightly closed to prevent oil from spoiling.

Cost:

$49.95 and on sale for $28.95.


Disclaimer: I received one or more of the products mentioned above for free in exchange for a review. Regardless, I only recommend products or services I use personally and believe will be good for my readers.
