This is a great product to be able to have on hand at home. You can very easily check 10 urinalysis parameters. see product description. If you have a chronic condition, it can help you to monitor these parameters and to head off problems before they become more severe. I bought these primarily to test Ketone levels but all the other information they provide(glucose, ph, etc.) is nice to have as well.

These are a lot less expensive than blood monitoring and a good way to make sure you are on track. These are super simple to use, and give consistent results every time. We have tested multiple strips in the same sample a few times and always have the same results. Very easy to read the results. The enclosed brochure clearly outlines what the different results mean.However, the different tests need to be read at different times so if you really care about all the test results, I would suggest using several strips at different times so that you do not miss the timing on one.

The information that comes with the test strips may seem a bit overwhelming, but there is a lot of good technical information there about the tests. I like being able to get a lot of basic information from one quick test. The color-coding indicator chart is right on the bottle. Either pee on them or dip them in a cup of pee. I choose the former method as it is so convenient and not as gross and messy. You can also use these on your pets as i have for my dog and can watch ketones and protein, too. Please note that these strips are only good for three months / 90 days from the time you open the bottle.

One of the best features of the product is that the envelope has adjustable size exactly according to the amount of clothing that you have stored within it.The construction is extremely lightweight and durable. The mesh allows for air circulation.The coloring is as displayed in the pictures and I am very satisfied. The quality of the material used is good, with sturdy construction. 

                         

The design of the product is very simple.They come packed in a large reusable zip-lock pouch, which is very convenient for storage. Each sleeve includes two plastic guide sheets, one of which has folding instructions printed on it. The material is strong, and should last for years. It closes up with a nice long strip of Velcro to prevent it from opening up inside my suitcase.

                                        

                                             

Dot & Dot really thinks of everything. I have several Dot & Dot travel accessories and they have held up perfectly. I also like they come in so many different colors. The carry handle makes it easy to carry like a briefcase or this can easily fit into your suitcase as a way to stay organized. I can fit 8 dress shirts or 10 regular shirts into this and it keep them nicely folded and wrinkly free.The package arrived swiftly and in excellent condition.

My review on the Dot&Dot 1.25oz 

Travel Bottles in TSA Approved Toiletry Bag 

by Dot&Dot

#travelbottles

You can check out there web site 

CLICK HERE 

 for even more information on these travel bottles 

and you can check them out on amazon as well

 CLICK HERE 

The Dot&Dot 1.25oz Airline Travel Bottle is the perfect size for taking hand sanatizer or what ever you need on the go and even better it comes with a small zipper bag to keep it good and safe from spilling. The bottle is quite well made and the small zipper pouch is a nice touch for adding peace of mind with out worrying . 

 

The bottles are made of a soft squishy silicone that makes it ideal for squeezing every  last bit of the product out of the bottle. Because the silicone is flexible, it bulges rather than crushes under pressure. There is a wide mouth on the container for easy filling and then another cap screws onto the base that has a flip top with a small valve like dispenser .This flip top cap is a firm plastic and allows the bottle to stand on its own. It snaps to seal and functions very well. 

You can dispense a controlled/small amount with little effort. The opening is an inner silicone seal in what appears to be an X pattern. And it will  immediately seals itself and stops dispensing when you stop applying pressure. Each of the bottles do have little "built-in" labels, as well as a space to write in your own . The suction cups on the back of the traveling bottles can be handy in the shower .

The 1.25 oz size are perfect and they are easy to take apart for a  good wash and dry. The bottles are great and can be used for  just about everything .They are BPA free, approved for carry-on, and food safe, so even baby food is an option.  These are a fantastic set of reusable travel bottles. I highly recommend these travel bottles.

My review on the Francois et Mimi Single Wall Borosilicate Glass French Coffee Press, 50-Ounce

 by Francois et Mimi

#GlassFrenchPress

If you would like more information about this product 

CLICK HERE 

and it will take you to there amazon listing .

I have never had coffee from a French Press before and i really liked this maker. It is made of glass with stainless steel parts. The feet keeps the hot glass above the surface of the table or counter. The pot is also very sturdy and well balanced. Does not feel unstable when the plunger is pressed. The seal around the edge of the plunger is nice and tight.  The mesh is very fine so as well . I have not had any trouble with grounds ending up in the coffee or my cup. I was a bit nervous at first that it was going to be very strong. But it wasn't as strong as it looks .

 I used the instructions on the box it said to add one tablespoon of ground coffee per 4 ounces of water . The coffee from this french press is smooth and tasted great .It  can hold up to 50 ounces at a time. This French press pot works well and is more attractive than a lot of the regular coffee makers out there. It's elegance and when having company over you can show it off as well as making some great memorable moments with friends. 

here is what you do ... Pull the press up into the cap as high as it will go, Grind your beans-put them in this beaker, add boiling water, steep till it gets to the color brown- (strength) that you want, then depress the plunger down to extract the coffee from your beans. Bean residue will now go to the bottom The dark brown water coffee fluid will now be clear and free of grinds.Pour yourself a cup and enjoy!!!

It is dish washer safe, but I prefer hand cleaning my dishes and a sponge or bottle brush easily cleans

 this french press. The  glass seems sturdy, but I still take great care to not set it down on the counter top to harshly or be to rough with it when I'm cleaning because it is still glass.

This French press will make an excellent Christmas or anytime gift. Amazing Quality and Produces Amazing Coffee! I really like this and highly recommend it!
