Salmon & Sweet Potato Grain-Free Petbrosia Pet Food


Petbrosia determines the right Petbrosia diet for your dog or cat based on their breed, age, weight, food allergies, activity level, and other needs you feel should be brought to our attention. We use only the highest quality, all-natural ingredients, grown and raised by farmers across America. No corn, No wheat, No soy, and No by-products.

My review: I love the idea of this pet food, how you can customize a food type and plan based off your pet's weight, breed, age, and any special conditions such as allergies.

Petbrosia pet food does not contain all the harmful additives, and no soy, grains, or artificial colorings either. This is all-natural super healthy food for your dog or cat!

Here's a handy pet food comparison chart to show you how all-natural and healthy Petbrosia is compared to other brands.

My family pup tried the Salmon & Sweet Potato Grain-Free Dog food (although there is cat food available as well) and as far as I know, he loved it! We will be feeding him Petbroisa for as long as the bag lasts and hopefully will get to order more in the future.

Review: I was pleasantly surprised by how well this eyelash curler works. It has a narrow "clamp", so it gets really close to your lashline and curls eyelashes well. The curl was immediate, I only had to curl each eye a few times, and lasted pretty much the whole day.

I would recommend curling once, adding a coat of mascara, and then curling once more for maximum results.


The only drawback was there was slight pinching, unlike the product statement says. The curve of the curler does not fit the shape of my eye exactly so it did hurt a little—my Japonesque and Shu Umura curlers do not have this problem—but that's the price of pain, right? :) I'm definitely glad to have this extra curler handy, I can see myself using it regularly because I'm one of those people who keeps an eyelash curler everywhere! On my makeup vanity, in my purse, in my schoolbag, even in the car!

Review: I absolutely love the idea of these ice ball molds. Each order is a set of three molds. Each mold is made of smooth, 100% food-grade silicone. I loved how smooth and flexible they were, unlike some of the plastic ice ball mold's I've tried!

There's a line at the top of the hole where you pour water in to conveniently let you know where to fill the water to. The water line takes into account the expansion of water as it turns to ice, which I thought was thoughtful to include.


The set comes with a collapsable silicone funnel that fits in the hole at the top perfectly. This was the only thing about the product I didn't like. There was no hole at the bottom of the funnel and I couldn't, for the life of me, figure out how to use it! I felt like an idiot struggling with a funnel LOL! However, I just cut a little hole at the bottom of the silicone to make use of it. Not a huge issue, but I shouldn't have had to do that.

The molds have a flattened surface (but the insides are a smooth dome, so you get a perfectly round ball of ice) so you can stick them in the freezer without worrying about them rolling around. This is especially useful since the hole at the top would spill water if it rolled around in the freezer!

Upon freezing, all you have to do is open up the silicone ball, and push the ice ball out. This worked fabulously, to my pleasant surprise, as the molds are very pliable and so the ice just pops out without any fuss. 

The packaging isn't pretty... it's just a flimsy plastic tube (like a tennis ball can) with Scotch tape haphazardly wrapped around the ends to secure the equally flimsy plastic lids. This would not be impressive for gift giving, I would have liked a better plastic packaging, or maybe for these to be boxed. Otherwise, this is a cool product, great for entertaining and drinking aficionados!

Natural Stacks Vitamin D3 Review

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

Vitamin D3 plays an integral role in regulating the neuromuscular and immune systems, as well as mood and sleep. It’s also a critical hormone precursor that supports new cell growth and bone formation.
  • 5,000 IU of D3 with 100 mg of Certified Organic Coconut Oil per softgel
  • Coconut Oil aids the absorption of fat-soluble Vitamin D
  • Highly bioavailable form of natural Vitamin D (Cholecalciferol)
Your body naturally converts sunlight to Vitamin D, but most people don’t get near enough sun exposure (unless you’re an outdoorsy nudist living near the equator).  Natural Stacks Vitamin D3 is a performance essential.

My review: I'm a lover of vitamin supplements and was eager to try this coconut oil Vitamin D3 softgel. The capsules are very tiny, and a clear-yellowish color. They don't smell or taste like anything, and the size makes them easy to swallow.

The ingredients list indicates the only factor of D3 component is coconut oil;  basically you are consuming pure coconut oil. I suppose if you normally consume a lot of coconut oil in your diet, you would not need to take Vitamin D3 supplements.

There are 180 softgels in the bottle, and you take one per day, so that's a 3-month supply, which isn't bad for the price. My only concern is that the general recommended daily dosage of Vitamin D3 is 4000 IU, but these pills offer 5,000 IU. Not a HUGE concern, as these are fat-soluble pills so overdosage won't kill you, but like I said, if you have a diet that already contains lots of Vitamin D3, this product may be unnecessary.

To my dismay, after opening this bottle, about one-third of the capsules in the bottle clouded up, and I believe the coconut oil inside had hardened up. This is strange because I kept them in a cool, dry place as instructed. I know this isn't a huge issue but at first glance it made me think the capsules had gone bad, and I checked the expiration date (2016, which means it should be safe). However, I think Natural Stacks should find a way to prevent this from happening, as it's unnerving to have a bottle of pills that are half clear, half cloudy.

Natural Stacks Krill Oil Review

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

Natural Stacks Krill Oil is cold pressed from sustainably harvested Antarctic Krill (tiny shrimp-like crustaceans). Studies suggest that Krill Oil can reduce inflammation, improve brain function, relieve joint pain, and promote heart health.
Our premium Krill Oil Complex contains:
  • A variety of key nutrients including choline, vitamin A, vitamin e
  • 420 mg of cell-building phospholipids
  • 300 mg of omega-3 fatty acids (150 mg DHA & 90 mg EPA)
  • 1.5 mg of astaxanthin (7X more than most Krill Oil products)
Natural Stacks Krill Oil features an optimal DHA / EPA ratio and is phosphorylated for superior bio-absorption.

Review: This is my first time trying a Krill Oil, but I've been an avid taker of fish oil in the past, and apparently krill oil is a better, higher dosage version of fish oil with same the healthy omega-3 fatty acids. I have been taking these for the past couple of weeks—two a day, before a meal—and my bottle is almost running out because each bottle has 60 softgel pills, so it's a monthly supply. I will definitely be looking into purchasing a krill oil for my own, to consume outside of this sample.

The softgel itself is a dark blue gel color, and is reasonably sized and easy to swallow. What I love is it doesn't have that nasty fishy smell fish oil softgels have, so it's easy to palate. Great for kids too!

LumenX Ez Grip Bike Light review

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

LumenX Ez Grip Bike Light consists of a front bike light and a rear tail light which can fit and can easily attach to any bike – mountain bike, street bike or children’s bike. It has a high quality silicone material and a water resistant property which makes it great for safety and emergencies.

LumenX offers the new high quality dual energy efficient LED bike light which are super bright, with 90 lumens and provide up to 150M safe use. For added safety, it has 1 red LED for the rear light and 1 white LED front light. It can be used in Four modes: Constant, Strobe, Disco strobe, Epileptic Fit Strobe.

The Ez Grip Bike Light has an energy saving feature which can last up to 130 hours of flashing and 25 hours of constant light. It also has an easy integrated clip feature which allows quick mounting and fits around any handlebar, seat post and frame tube.

Guaranteed to have the best LEDs which offers the best performance bike light at a minimal cost. We are dedicated to maintain our high quality standards in compliance with ANAI (American National Standards Institute), an industry standard for flashlight categories.

My review:
This was a great LED bike light, I like how it's bright and flashes well but you don't have to worry about replacing the battery or having the light go out while you're out for a nighttime bike ride!

You have to click the center of the light, and it has four settings: constant light, a strobe light, a flashier "disco" strobe light, and the epileptic fit strobe (from the description). The annoying thing is you can't just turn it on or off, you have to go through all the different modes of light before finally turning it off. But I guess due to the simplicity of the design, there's really no other way to handle the different light settings.


The silicone grip around the actual bulb allows your to stretch the band around any frame or handle. My only complaint is the hook that keeps the band attached in a look is not that large, so it comes unhooked very easily—it fell off my bike a several times even when I didn't touch it.

Rainbow Loom kits, like the Rainbow Bandz Loom Kit, have been a toy craze for a little over a year now, and the craze still hasn't ended. My younger sister, who is ten years old, loved and still loves this toy kit. I presented her with this and she was thrilled! These bands are colorful and sturdy and make great bracelets. We like this because it doesn't feel "cheap" and the colors are very vibrant and varied.

The loom and hook are the standard plastic pieces to every rainbow loom kit.
