Product review: Power Pro Foot File by Precision Beauty

 

 I have been using callus removers for several years. This is a decent callus remover but does not have some of the advanced features some callus removers have now, such as rechargeable batteries with a digital readout showing battery level, or vacuum which sucks up the ground off skin.

On the positive side, it does a good job removing thickened skin or trimming toenails. It removes skin or nails in a very thin layer. Removing skin in a very thin layer is a good thing; it prevents injury to healthy skin.

The package includes:
* The callus remover.
* A small brush to clean the callus remover.
* A spare griding heads (so there is a total of two).

I have a callus on the bottom of my foot. If it gets too thick, it bothers me when I walk, and I used to see a podiatrist so he could grind it down for me. Then I discovered electric callus removers, and they work as well as what my podiatrist does. I use the callus removers dry; they are not painful at all; they remove dry skin in a very thin layer. I worked a few seconds at a time, checking the result not to remove too much skin.  I  have not been back to a podiatrist since I began using electric callus removers a few years ago.

The callus remover runs on two AA batteries.  Batteries are not included. I use rechargeable AA batteries, and they power the callus remover sufficiently to do a good job.

Product review: Micron Face Mask Made in Canada Level 3

 

Micron masks are three-ply masks with a nose clip. They fit comfortably over my face, do not pull on ears too much, and breathing in them is very easy.

I test each mask with a water test.  I fill the mask with water, hold the water in the mask for about a minute, and test for leaks.  This mask did not leak, so it means it can protect me from spittle-carrying COVID droplets.

I took the mask on and off several times while testing it, and the loops stayed attached and did not snap off.  The only negative is that the mask has an Ozone or similar scent to them,  I am glad they were disinfected, but I hope the scent will go away as I air out the masks.

Product review: Review of FRESINIDER Elastic Bandage Wrap

 

I received four packs, two 3" wider and two 4" wide bandages, each 15 feet long.  The bandages are not the type that sticks to themselves; they come with clips that hold them closed.  Twelve clips are attached to the bandages, and the package includes 12 spare clips as they might get lost or broken during extensive use.  Good bandages.

Product review: The Shake2 Matcha Green Tea Set- Premium First Harvest Ceremonial Grade, Japanese Blend from Kagoshima - Organic Powder with Shaker Bottle

 

This listing contains a small package 1 oz packet of Macha and a shaker bottle.  The bottle and the drinking spout are made out of plastic (not clear what kind of plastic as it is not marked, not described as BPA-free).  The cap is metal.

The bottle is average at best; the type of plastic is not specified; any wide mouth bottle will work just as well.

The Matcha powder is pretty good quality. It just matcha powder; nothing else is mixed in for flavor. I add lemon juice and a bit of sugar to the mixture to give it some flavor.

Purchased in March 2021, expires in October 2021.

Product review: Nextirrer NIOSH Certified N95 Respirator Mask

 

I test each mask I buy using a water test.  I fill each mask with water and hold the water in a mask for about a minute. Then I examine if the mask starts to drip, has become wet on the outside, or remained dry on the outside of the mask.  If a mask cannot hold water, it cannot protect me from contaminated droplets.

This mask did well on the test; after I held water in it, the outside of the mask remained totally dry.  When I poured the water out of it and shook it, it shed water, and the inside felt dry.

The mask fits very comfortably. It has a stiff nose piece that can be shaped around my nose; on the inside, the nose piece is cushioned with foam, so it feels more gentle on my skin.

The elastic straps go around the head (not the ears), so the mask fits tighter and forms a good seal.

The mask is made in China but has NIOSH-N95 certification on the box and the mask itself.

Product review: SuMade 100% Ultrathin Waterproof Golf Socks, Men Women Breathable Hiking Running Cycling Ankle Socks

 

 My shoe size is 7.5, and I got X-Small Size rated for women 5.5-7.5. The fit is good, very snug but not too small.  The socks are low; they end below the ankle. They feel fuzzy inside and outside.  To test breathability, I covered my nose with the sock; yes, I can breathe through it. I also tested it by pouring water into the socks. Yes, it holds water.

Cute socks that do what they say they do.
