Anti-Dusk Face Mouth Mask Review

Everyone that's been reading my blog for awhile knows I have allergies and asthma. Travis does most of the yard work. I do however suck up leaves when it's fall time. He grew up in the country where the leaves just broke down naturally. Here in the city the leaves get into gutters, or kill the grass if they aren't taken care of.

I have to admit that I wear a respirator when I suck up the leaves. It's tight against my face, and protects my lungs.

When I dust things inside that haven't been dusted in awhile I wear a dust mask.

I recently was sent an Anti-Dusk Face Mouth Mask Ear Loop Washable Dust Mask to review.

You can get this mask here: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B072PZM21C?th=1


At first I kept thinking that the name in their mask "Anti-Dusk" was a typo, but it's on all their promotional items. I thought it was supposed to be, "Anti-Dust".

Features: 

Material: Cotton and Polyester

Ear Loops: They have 4 elastic bands that come off the mask. They need to be tied to form a loop to fit around the ears.

The Size: 7.5"x4.5"

Unisex: They have masks that are for guys and girls. It's even funny when a guy wears a girl mask and a girl wears a guy mask.

Cost: $12.99

Function: 

Anti-Dust, Anti-Smoke, Anti-Fog, Keeping Warm, Germs, Allergies, Smoke, Pollution, Ash, Pollen, Crafts, Gardening, and Travel.

I'm not sure how functional it really is. The mask isn't tight over the face. If you really want dust and other germs to be gone I don't know that it's really going to be super protective if particles can get through the top, and sides of the mask. The whole reason why I wear a respirator to suck up leaves in the fall is so I'll have something super tight against my face. Other masks have a metal clip on the nose part, so it fits snug against the face. This one does not.

I do think it's functional in the fact that it will help keep me warm in the winter. Cold air is a trigger for asthma. If I go out walking, jogging, or cycling in the winter this mask may be worn. Ha! I'd have to see how well it keeps smoke out. Right now because I had deviated septum and polyp surgery I just have been staying away from smoke. I didn't even go outside during the 4th of July. Smores were made in the oven under broil. I will try it out for smoke though. I could see it helping. I just wish again that the nose part would be more snug.

Fashion:

The mask is well made. I like the material. It's durable, and can be washed over and over again! The fact that it can be washed puts it over disposable masks.

I'm not a big fan of the ear bands. I had to tie them together. I was thinking that they'd have velcro, or just be one piece per ear band.

Funny:

I think more than anything the masks they make are just funny! My boys were laughing so hard when we tried it on! I could see wearing it for Halloween. I'd just have to think of what to be that would go with the mask.




 



Have you ever worn a face mask to protect your breathing nasty things in?

medicationdiscountcard.com Review

Disclosure: I got this product as part of an advertorial.


I got a chance to review a discount card for prescription medicine. The site is: medicationdiscount.com

One thing I do love about this card is that it's super easy to download, print off, and you can use it right away!

The cards are small. They are the same size as a standard business card. They do fit in your purse, or wallet easily.


 Where Card Works:

It works at all chain pharmacies. Including Walmart, CVS, Walgreens, Rite-Aid, and many more. It works at over 59,000 pharmacies nationwide. That's pretty handy!


My Experience:

I called into Walgreens and ordered my allergy medicines for the spring. One thing I did not read carefully enough was that this can not be used instead of insurance. My insurance actually covered more than the card did. Singular was free, and Nasonex was $30. I mistakenly thought that the card could be used on top of insurance to cover extra costs for prescription medicines. I did ask the pharmacist if it would save me more money if I used the card from medicationdiscountcard.com, or my health insurance? They said my health insurance saved me more.


This Card is Great Though:

I think this card is great if you A) Don't have health insurance, or B) Don't have prescription coverage on your insurance. It certainly is a great idea to have for those that fall into those categories.

You receive a 10% to 75% discount on your medication with their free prescription drug card.

There is no application, no health restrictions, no fees, and the card will never expire.

  • Free Membership
  • No Health Restrictions
  • Use Immediately
  • Easy To Use
  • No Paperwork
  • Unlimited Use
  • Never Expires
Since health insurance is changing so much. The cost of meds are going way up, and they never come down in cost. I'm going to hold onto this card! I love that it never expires! It works at so many pharmacies to!

STRESSED

  • I'm really stressed. I don't mean to be; I just am. My list of to do stuff keeps getting longer due to the time of year it is.
  • My stress started when my grandma went to the hospital a few weeks ago because she fell and had to get staples in her forehead. That same night it snowed and something else happened that I don't want to get into. 
  • Grandma is home now. She's ok. 
  • There is medical issues with 4 people in my family. A few of which I can't talk about on here. I hate that. Having a blog is sort of like having a journal release.
  • Then there's Isaak that's been acting off all weekend. 
  • Minus all the medical issues work has been crazy too. We have one guy that's getting married and will be gone for a long time. Then another co-worker had the whole backside of his house burn down.

Fasting, Fasting, Fasting

  • We had company all weekend, and yesterday I made yummy feta cheese burgers with chopped up tomatoes, chopped green onion, worcestershire sauce and oat meal in them. Oh and sides of salad, cheesy potatoes and watermelon. 
  • My supper consisted of couscous, tofu, plain lettuce and watermelon.
  • Last week I learned that I have high cholesterol and my blood sugar is elevated.
  • I have to go in today to get more blood work done. 
  • Summer school is going on until the end of the week, so I wanted to get this lab testing rolling. My appointment isn't until 3:45 today-after class. I had to fast for 12 hours. Most people test in the morning.
  • I stayed up late last night, and had an additional meal of couscous, tofu, plain cucumber and grapes. This might be my new life because I need to start taking better care of myself. 
  • My cholesterol isn't too incredibly high. It's 206. I have a family history of high cholesterol, over weight family members and diabetes. I told my doctor that I want to lose weight, so that is the path I'm on.
  • I have to say that I've never been too bad with food. I could be better. I make great baked things in the kitchen that I, or Daddy take to work. I don't devour them myself. 
  • At this present moment in time I could eat a horse, and it's lunch time for most everyone, but me.
  • I'm walking more during lunch time at work. It's a start, but I need to exercise more, a lot more.

  • I just weaned Isaak all the way from nursing. He's a boob man. He turned 2 in May. I wanted him to self wean, but I'd get him down to one a day. Somehow we'd go backwards, and he'd be nursing all the time again.
  • I had to cut him off. He was horrible the first few days, crying and asking for it. He hasn't asked for it all weekend! I cried the first few days too, just not as bad as him. :( My emotions were crazy finding out all this medical stuff, and weaning at the same time. I read that if you wean cold turkey it's worse then weaning slow emotion wise. This is so true. If only I could of gotten Isaak to wean slow!

  • Daddy found a mole that has changed on his leg. It's a red one, and has spider like pattern spreading from it. A hard core under it. 
  • This too is scary, and he's getting it look at. He's supposed to call today to make an appointment.
