Product review: Noova Massage Gun for Neck, Back Shoulder and Foot, Lateral massager, strap massager
The unique feature of this massage gun is the lateral belt that gives me an easy and effective way to work the upper back and shoulders, which are my paint points from working on the computer 16 hours a day. I have used other massage guns in the past, and none are as comfortable and effective as this belt with attachments that are Velcroed to it.
In addition to the belt, the package includes six other attachments:
Large ball head, small ball head, flat head, bullet head, crescent head, and U-shaped head.
What could be better:
The manual included in the package is pretty pathetic. It does not describe how to attach heads or the belt. It does not contain any instructions on how to use each head (which muscle groups, what movements). I had to research on the internet to fill the void.
However, I loved the belt attachments, and the strong rating is based on how useful I find for my achy shoulders.

Product review: OXO Good Grips Apple Corer - Kitchet gadget for baked apples and apple pie
It seems that apple corers have two dominant designs, one that opens its jaws and one (like this one) with a solid ring that does not open. After studying the reviews for both, I noticed that the corers with jaws that open eventually start jamming and need to be fixed. The problem is that the moving pieces jam, overlap, and form an oval instead a circle. This issue has to be fixed every time you use the corer.
This corer is made out of stainless steel solid right; the ring has serrated teeth that are very sharp. The serrated end cuts through the apple like it was butter. The handle is large and comfortable to hold. Cutting through the apple requires little force if you agitate the teeth back and forth.
I was interested in coring apples for baked apples rather than apple pies. This means I wanted to remove the apple core but not go all the way through the apple. Unfortunately, that is impossible as there is no mechanism to cut at the bottom without going through the apple. My solution is to remove the entire core and then use the bottom part of the core as a "stopper" by inserting it back into the bottom of the hole. The stopper leaks but provides some way of holding nuts or whatever else you want to stuff the apple with.
Before the Oxo corer, I used my grandmother's method of removing the apple core with a spoon, which remotes the pits while leaving a nice clean area for stuffing the apple. But it is much harder to scoop out with a blunt spoon than using an apple corer.

Product review: Face Self Tanner Tanning Drops for Your Face & Body
It would be nice if this solution also included sunblock, but it does not. It needs to be applied separately. I like that the solution is unscented. I also like that I can control the darkness by the number of tanning drops I add.
However, I thought the self-tanning drops were a bit hard to use.
(1) You cannot use the drops directly; you need to mix them into included Hyaluronic Acid Serum before spreading them on your skin. I had to find a container for mixing and was unsure how much to mix.
(2) When spreading on your face and body, it is easy to miss spots, so the coverage did not come out as even and natural as I hoped.

Product review: LOVB LOVB Oat Kernel-Ferment Cream
LOVB cream is rich and non-greasy. I prefer unscented face creams; this cream is not unscented, it has a light scent. However, the scent does not linger, and I am okay with the fact that it has a scent. It spreads well and is absorbed quickly; it is a good moisturizer.

Product review: YIMICOO 2 Pack Wooden Bamboo Back Scratcher
The listing contained two identical bamboo back scratches. The backscratchers are wider than my old ones; they are 1.5" wide. Their length is 16.5" inches. I like that they have a hole with a string loop, so I can hang them while they are not used. The edges are polished, so they don't catch. They met my expectations and do the job.

Product review: ProHeal Disposable Bibs For Adults, aid for messy people
These bibs are great! They have a waterproof backing lining. The bibs are sized 16" x 33". They are not attractive but very practical.
These bibs are not just for seniors and the elderly! It is for messy adults of any age! The bib covers most of the front. I got the black color, hoping I can convince my husband to wear it rather than walk around with a stained shirt after sloppy eating in a restaurant.
I usually try to describe pluses and minuses, but in this case, I can't think of a single negative!

Product review: Care Science Antibacterial Sterile Gauze Pads
I like these pads; they are very soft. Each envelope contains two pads.
The texture of these pads surprised me. When I saw the word "Gauze," I thought it would be your typical weaved pad, but these are not weaved; they are fused and look more like paper than fabric. Even though they are not exactly what I expected, I like their softness, and they work well for cleaning minor wounds and even ears.
When each pad is unfolded, they measure 5.5" by 3.5". The Amazon description describes them as 2" by 2"; this measurement is taken with the pad folded 6 times.
