Probiotic Supplement Powder for Dogs and Cats

I've used DE around my house for a while in the summer to help prevent fleas, but until this product I had no idea they could consume it to help prevent and fight off intestinal parasites! What a bonus!
I have 3 dogs that have been taking this for about 2 weeks now; a GSD/Lab, around 100 lbs, a Husky/Corgi around 40lbs, and a Min Pin/Dacshund around 25 lbs. They all tolerate it well, except the little one, if he gets too much he gets very gassy, so I have been giving it to him every other day instead of every day and that has helped with the gas.
Since they started taking probiotics they have had more energy and have had a better demeanour and seem happier and more playful. We have also switched their food, which I'm sure had made a difference as well.

It is a bit messy, but I'm guessing that is due to the diatomaceous earth, it is naturally a fine powder. I keep the scoop out of the container so I'm not digging for it and making a mess when I open it and that helps eliminate a lot of the messyness. The daily dose is very small so this container will last me quite a while.

Au Naturel Origins Premium Bamboo Washcloths

These are actually pretty nice wash cloths. I lean towards anything made from Bamboo due to its sustainability. Also these are incredibly soft. I have had no issues with them falling apart or snagging, my only issue is lots of shrinkage, although I did wash them prior to reading the washing instructions. I washed them in cold and didn't notice a difference but I dried them like I dry all my other towels, definitely not the best thing to do. Even though they did shrink, they are still usable. I use them on my face and its a great balance between softness and enough abrasion for exfoliation. Definitely recommend if you aren't afraid of them shrinking a bit.

Aposon Dual Time Watch - Mens

So I wasn't sure what I would think of this watch until it arrived and I have to say, its pretty darn cool. Its going to be a gift for a relative whom I think is going to love it. The quality of the face seems incredible considering it's listed at only $12.99. The band isn't anything to shout about but it looks decent, and will keep it on your wrist.
I would like this better and would have given it 5 stars if you could change the bands, but I don't believe you can. Also it states its waterproof but then recommends you don't wear it in the shower. I'm guessing this may have something to do with metal vs hurting it internally, but I'm not sure. Also it states it is supposed to some with instructions, but mine did not. However, for the price, I felt 4 stars was an acceptable rating.

Pruning saw

I have to admit this pruning saw is much sharper than I expected. It has a plastic handle with a release button for opening and closing the saw, nice touch. Its VERY sharp, which makes me happy, and handles the smaller branches quite well. This would be perfect for camping and cutting up smaller bits for firewood and kindling. The only thing I would suggest to the manufacturer is to somehow make it easier to grab the blade when pulling it open so your fingers aren't so close to the blade edge. Other than that, this thing works pretty well.

Cat perch

This thing is actually pretty cool. I was skeptical after reading some of the reviews, but I was given a chance to check out the newer version at a discount and figured it wouldn't hurt.
One thing I noticed people complained about was that they had to put it together. That is no longer the case, mine came already assembled, all I had to do was add the suction cups, which is really simple (I made a video in case someone needs a quick heads up).
I also noticed people complained it didn't stay suctioned to the window, and at that point it looks like the suction cups were much smaller than they ones they include now. I decided to test this out on my fat cat that weighs over 10lbs to see how it would handle the weight, and to my surprise it help him! The width of this just barely fits on my front door, where he would get most of the sun, but it did fit none the less.
In my opinion if you want something like this for your cat, this is a great thing to try now that it has some upgrades, so far I haven't had any issues, but if I do I will update my review.

Wine Chilling Stick

This is pretty nifty. While not an avid wine drinker, when we have gatherings at our house we always have wine available and it usually gets left on the counter, so having a chilling stick is a fabulous idea to keep it from getting warm too quickly. It also comes with a pourer, which is NOT an aerator, although if this came with an aerator as well, this would be 5 stars easily, but since it doesn't it adds a step for me because I love my wine aerator and don't drink wine without it.

Portion control containers

My biggest issue on my journey to healthier eating and living is over indulgence. Not necessarily by choice, but because I've never been sure how much is the right amount. When I got the chance to try these out I was very excited, I could finally see what my portions should look like! But after receiving these and trying to figure it out, I realised there's much more to portion control than the physical size of your portions.

Take dried raisins vs blue berries, a cup of dried raisins is over 200 calories but a cup of blue berries is only 81, so while what your consuming may fit the physical size of the portion, you're essentially comparing apples and oranges, to use a relate-able idiom. Same goes for veggies, a half cup of peas is about 58 calories where a half cup of cucumber is roughly 7.

I was dismayed there wasn't more information included with these, while it does give you directions on how to figure out your needed caloric intake it doesn't give any info on overcoming the issue in regards to portion sizes. If it did this I would certainly give this more stars because I feel as is the people who pick this up and are still learning about how to manage portions vs intake would be incredibly confused and could be doing this all wrong.

Something that I think would raise the value of this idea is including a list of "100 calorie" options or something along those lines.

All in all I still gave this 3 stars because the containers are quite nice, sealable and reusable.
