Activity tracker

This is an awesome heart rate monitor/activity tracker. It comes with a USB cable and three wristbands with different color each - black, yellow and blue. The description doesn't mention three bands so I did not expect that, what a nice surprise! The wristband is nicely narrow, I have tiny wrists so a lot of the common brand trackers look super bulky on me, unlike this one.

The tracker counts steps, heart rate beats per minute, sleep cycle and it also tells time. I don't think the sleep monitor is exact but then again so far none of the trackers I had was, so not a big deal.
The band has an app that is super easy to install.

The tracker should be compatible with Bluetooth 4.0; Android 4.4 and above or iOS 7.0 and above (iphone4s above) - I have an android so cannot speak to ios but I would expect it work just as smoothly - too many people out there use iPhones ;)

All in all, great device at a very reasonable price!

Baobites

I am sooo happy I got to try these thanks to SocialNature!

I got three packs at 10g each, one peach/mango, one pomegranate and one blood orange. Even though this is superfruit snack it basically tastes like super yummy candy!!!

The snacks are made of African Baobab fruit, they are rich in Vitamin C and electrolytes. I love that the snack is organic, non-GMO! The packaging also says gluten free but that's something I would expect from a fruit - I don't think there even is a fruit out there that has gluten?? The snack has no preservatives or fats. I love that the baobab fruit is ethically harvested, it will make me feel better about buying it for my kid. I absolutely loved all three flavors, I am still deciding on my favourite and have a really hard time picking one.

So, so, so, so yummy!!!

And despite these being soft chews, they don't get stuck in your teeth! Really awesome product, definitely plan on buying more, hopefully I will be able to convince he owner of my local health food store to carry these in the store!

US Election 2016....

Am I really surprised at the results of the US election? Sadly, not really.

As much as I love my US friends, let's face it - I'll generalize so apologies to those Americans who know better (which is all of my FB friends!) - USA is a country where even highly educated people think that Europe consists of Germany, Russia and Prince William. It's a country where average citizens often have no clue there is a country to the North of their border...and if they know, lots of them ...believe the people "up North" all live in igloos. Some have no clue where do Mexican illegal immigrants come from. 

It's a country where most people still believe in the "American dream", which is un-achievable to most no matter how hard they work. 

And....Trump promised them exactly that - the American dream. He did not say what does it mean or how would this be done, but may be that was the point? To promise something that means so many different things to so many different people? ...and eventually backtrack his words, as usual, to "I've never said that"...? 

Who knows. All we know is that the world as we know it ended, and all we can hope for is that he will turn out to be more polished and more reasonable than the crazy loose cannonball he has been throughout the whole election process. 

The entire world expects the worst from him...may be he'll surprise us in a good way? We can only hope....

Drawer bin set

Ok these are seriously awesome. I have such a hard time to keep things organized in my drawers but these boxes help big time.
They come in a set of six - two large, two medium and two small, all folded. The medium and large bins have a flat piece that goes inside for a hard bottom, the small ones are put together by zipping the bottom up. Super easy! and extremely functional.
I immediately used one medium bin and one small in my daughter's top drawer - all of her socks go into the medium one (it's rectangular not square like the small and large) and her stockings go to the small one. And bam, all of a sudden that drawer does not look like a pile of mess. Love, love, love it. My next step will be to organize her long and short sleeve t-shirts into the large bins - both bins will fit in her larger drawer at once so it will be perfect!
The bins seem to be very sturdy and well made - I really can't find anything to criticize or anything that could fall apart.
Really impressed with this product, five stars out of five from me!

Adapter - converter

Pretty impressive little device. It's super lightweight, and it comes in a very handy storage pouch. The device itself can serve as an adapter and as a converter for things like a cellphone or a travel hairdryer - basically it will work with anything that doesn't work on super high watts. The device is good for 110-240V so will get you covered in most of the world.
Where-ever you are, you just press a "clip" on the side of the converter to eject the appropriate electrical plug that will fit into all different electrical outlets.
The only reason I am rating four out of five is because I found it quite challenging to retract the plug back into the device. It should be a little hard so that it doesn't retract when you are trying to actually plug the adapter in, but I have to admit I struggled a bit. I am sure I will get a hang of it over time!
So far I have not fully tried the converter, just the adapter, so will update once I get to travel again and once I try the actual converter for something that doesn't have a cord that handles 110-240V.
All in all, great device, will be travelling with me everywhere. Did I stress enough how lightweight and compact this thing is? :)

Kitchen tongs

Great kitchen tongs. You get two pairs in the box, one small and one larger - 9 inch and 12 inch to be exact (not as huge as some of the outdoor bbq tongs could be).
The part that touches food is made of food grade silicone so perfectly safe for handling food. The part on the handles makes for a great grip, the tongs won't slip out of your hands even when your hands are wet.
I also like the color of the silicone parts - it's beautiful red.
All in all, at this point five stars from me. I am still yet to discover any flaws, there tongs are very similar to a large outdoor bbq pair that I have had for years, but this product is a lot more affordable.

Olympic Natural Yogurt

This is absolutely wonderful yogurt. I love how creamy it is, I love that it is made locally, and I love the taste!!! You seriously cannot go wrong! Knowing there is no gelatin or preservatives makes it that much better - I know the site also says no gluten, but in reality, I am not sure how would gluten get in??? (unless it's a yoghurt with added granola etc., it should always be gluten free!).

I just wish it was a bit cheaper, I do get sometimes you have to pay for great quality, but with the amount of yoghurt my family eats, I sadly cannot afford to only buy Olympic - I truly wish it was the case though because it is our favourite!!!

I really want to give a five star rating but due to the pricing I am giving four. If you don't need to watch every penny, read this as five :)
