Gurin DHMD-210 Electric Compact Dehumidifier




Now that the new unit has been delivered we have been able to use so we could review. We have done a few reviews for Gurin and so far their products have not let us down. This little dehumidifier is great for pantries, closets, bathrooms, or any other small space you might need to dehumidify.

Easy to change out water area, compact, and easy to use. We will be using this in our downstairs bathroom and pantry during the summer. Right now we don't have much of a use for it but come summer time these two rooms will need all of the help they can get.

I am just glad to finally be able to find a affordable unit that is the right size for these spaces, that I can even handle taking care of.

You can find this compact dehumidifier on Amazon.

What Gurin has to say about their product.

The Gurin Electric Compact Dehumidifier uses Peltier Technology (no compressor) which makes it light and quiet. It is perfect for bathrooms, and small to mid-sized rooms where dampness and humidity are a problem. This unit is small enough to easily fit on your desk or workbench. It extracts the moisture from the air and stores it in a spill-proof reservoir. Just plug it in and it quietly dries the air. Features an automatic shut off switch to shut the unit off when the water reservoir is full. When this occurs a"full" indicator light will alert you when the reservoir needs to be emptied. Holds up to 16 oz. CE and UL Approved.

SantaMedical Non-Contact Infrared Thermometer






Having a reliable way to take your child's temperature when they are sick is a must have. One thing that always seems to be missing is the thermometer when you need it. Maybe it is because most thermometers are small and can be misplaced in the wee hours of the night when you are trying to care for a child, or maybe they are like socks you put them in the washer together but by the time they come out you only have one. Either way I like the bigger thermometers with quick temp like this one by SantaMedical Non-Contact Infrared Thermometer.

I love that this came with the batteries. It will take 2 AAA batteries when those die out. Easy to use, comes with a nice case to keep it clean between uses, and big enough that it won't be lost as easily. This is the thermometer for me, no more turning on the light to take your child's temperature and trying to read the tiny numbers. This has a backlight and big bold numbers.


You can find this infrared Thermometer on Amazon.


What Gurin has to say about their product.

The Santa Medical non-contact infrared (IR) clinical thermometer provides a simple, expedient, and accurate way for initial fever screenings by taking the temperature of areas on the face such as the forehead or tear ducts. It obtains the body temperature reading with 0.3 degree accuracy in less than 1 second. The Santa Medical IR thermometer features an intuitive guidance system to secure positioning and confirm accurate readings.

Fighting a Vitamin D Deficiency



I have a severe Vitamin D deficiency so I take 12,000 IU for 5 days a week and 2,000 IU on the other two days of the week. Remember to always check with your Dr. before taking any medications.

Most people in the Northern parts of the USA need a little extra Vitamin D in their diet, either from physical problems, not getting enough Vitamin D in your diet, or even just not being in the sun enough.

These are softgels which are in organic olive oil which explains their yellowish clear color. I do suggest if you take Vitamin E that you make sure you know the difference as these look very familiar to their shape, color, and size.

These Vitamins are made in the USA.



You can find the Vitamin D3 5000 240 softgels in organic olive oil on Amazon.
HIGH POTENCY VITAMIN D3 5000 IU: High strength Vitamin D so you need just one tiny softgel a day to achieve this high dose
BIOAVAILABLE ACTIVE FORM D3: The same active biological form of Vitamin D that’s produced by the body from sunlight
HIGHLY ABSORBABLE: Research suggests the oil-based softgel may deliver better absorption than a powder capsule*
PURITY, QUALITY, EFFICACY: We use only organic oil; no soy, stearates, fillers, artificial colors or preservatives
100% NATURAL, MADE IN THE USA in a FDA-Registered Facility to strict GMP standards with organic extra virgin olive oil

Rolling out Muscle Pain



First it was dance lessons then some spicy drinks with salsa, now it is muscle rollers what else will DanceCrazy come out with? I don't know but I know where they get Crazy from.

I had expected this roller to be more on the soft side but found it was very hard. This isn't bad just not what I expected. Each orange and black part rolls independently so that this stick will roll over your body evenly. I found unless I was doing the back of my legs I really needed someone to help me out, maybe they make longer sticks for some companies or maybe it is because I am on the taller size, or bigger size if you go by weight.

This does do a great job with help, although my husband found this much better for his needs then I did. Like I said I thought it was soft. I have bad kidneys and a bleeding disorder so hard massages are out, but this is a great gift for anyone who doesn't have these problems,

Love the colors, the independently rolling sections, and don't forget the strap which makes this easy to store away on a hook, door knob, etc.

You can find the Dance Crazy Muscle Roller on Amazon.


The DanceCrazy Premium Massage Rolling Stick is going to feel great, rolling over your tired, sore, or overworked muscles. You'll love the way this feels!

We really went all out with great materials, a heavy, solid feel, and great overall quality.
We're dancers, we love massage, and it shows.

I have been doing Yoga on and off for many years. Yesterday I had an appointment with the disability Dr. and boy did I learn just how un flexible I really am.

Much needed Stethoscope






Back when I was taking med classes and then working in the field this would have been a really nice extra to have. Where I worked we had a very uncomfortable Stethoscope that everyone had to share. While using it my ears were in pain which made paying attention to what was going on that much difficult. This Stethoscope comes with several ear tips so you get the right fit.

This is a really nice Stethoscope that would be great as a gift for your favorite nurse, CNA, med student, etc. I love that this has a double sided bell so that you have the right stethoscope for your needs right at your fingertips instead of having to change it out for another one to get the job done.

Sometimes Stethoscopes are needed in the home and this would be something that would be a nice extra for those those who need one close by, be it for blood pressure or any other medical need. Great for home or professional use. Sound is so clear that I took a double take when I used it for the first time.

You can find this stethoscope on Amazon.


Premium Cardiology Stethoscope is a high end stethoscope for all your professional healthcare needs.  Already being used by Doctors, Nurses, Respiratory therapist, nursing and medical assistants, as well as students.  The quality of sound heard through the vey soft eartips rivals that of most Littmann stethoscopes.  No more painful ear tips, great seal and easy to wash.  

Dual sided bell makes sure you have the right tools to hear the right sounds.  Clear pitches, hearts sounds and tones. Hear every crackle, rhonchi and wheeze.  Lighter than its high quality peers.  Easy to wear around your neck.

Makes an amazing gift for your professional healthcare loved one including students.

Wiggle Seat




I have always had very active children but my last two girls take the cake, they are everywhere all of the time, from one thing to another really never staying on one thing to long before moving onto something else. 

Lets just say keeping their attention has never been easy. They have to be interested or it is a no go. With the wiggle seat which keep the child paying attention to their balance they seem to do better at staying on task. At least that is for the things that include sitting time.

These wiggle seats are being used with both children with ADHD as well as autism and they are seeing a difference in these children in many areas. I think this is a great ite. bumps. All children are different so see which works best with your child and at what time.  I love that this comes with a pump so that you can adapt to this the child it is going to be used for. 

You can find the wiggle seat on Amazon.
Wiggle seats have become popular with teachers and parents alike for their ability to calm the hyperactive child. Many parents have found wiggle seats to be a life saver during dinner and homework time. While teachers love them for the calming effect they can have on children, many even report improved behavior for ADHD and autistic children. 

Besides the positive effects on behavior these discs have all the same benefits of sitting on a balance ball, activating the stomach muscles while sitting leading to better posture and less back strain from prolonged sitting.

CardioTech Pro Series Digital Blood Pressure


With my husband and I being on the bigger size being able to take our blood pressure at home well was impossible. I am still on the lookout for a extra cuff but none have crossed my path yet. 

Luckily Ozeri came to the rescue with a nice lower arm blood pressure monitor that works great. My husband has always had huge wrists either being on the smaller size or larger size. Most  things need to be custom made for him, so it was a bit surprise to see that this cuff was able to fit him and get an accurate reading. 

Neither of us has high blood pressure yet, but with our weight and getting older it, there is a good chance that could change. So we wanted to be prepared for when the time comes. Also recently we had a high blood pressure scare with my husband but now he seems to be doing better without having to have taken any medication for it. 

We have this to monitor it just in case. Great to have in the home, because some medications you might be asked to take over your lifetime may need monitoring of your blood pressure on a daily basis. 

You can find the CardioTech Pro Series on Amazon.


What Ozeri has to say about their product.

CardioTech products offer clinically proven technology and are used by physicians and hospitals around the world. Unlike traditional blood pressure monitors that inflate to 170 mmHg or higher by default, the Ozeri CardioTech Blood Pressure Monitor is an advanced wrist cuff monitor with MWI (Measure While Inflate) technology that automatically inflates to the appropriate level (no adjustments required) while reducing measurement time. This advanced capability adds convenience and ease of use to those with conditions (such as arrhythmia) that lead to fluctuating blood pressure. With ample memory, the Ozeri CardioTech Blood Pressure Monitor stores up to 180 blood pressure readings with date and time Memory recall (90 readings x 2 users), and automatically classifies each blood pressure reading according to World Health Organization hypertension guidelines. It also calculates average blood pressure readings based on the 3 most recent readings, and detects irregular heart (Arrhythmia) for an improved understanding of your heart's health. Based on a wrist cuff design, the Ozeri CardioTech Blood Pressure Monitor is especially helpful for users with above average arm sizes and it stores compactly in a carrying case for travel. Compact, portable and simple-to-use, the Ozeri CardioTech Blood Pressure Monitor is backed by a 5 year warranty, and ships with 2 AAA batteries included, a carrying case and user manual.

Squeaky Clean


This is about the most simple, nice, sanitizer bottle I have ever seen. Kind of looks like it's name, Squeaky Clean.

With school starting up we make sure the kids each have a personal Sanitizer in their book bags, as well as making sure our home has one readily available.

For our family it mainly has to do with my immune system, but for others it might be a way to clean hands more quickly then soap and water, or something to use when they aren't available.

Either way make sure you have a bottle for your home, purse, office, etc.

YouDrugStore

Modern pharmacy and You! Drugstore

During the 20th, and especially 21st century, technological development has constantly created a new environment for companies. It becomes increasingly difficult to cope with all the changes. However, some industries are able to profit based on this and create extra value for their business. One of the best examples is pharmaceutical industry.
This is perhaps the best example of an industry that is based on research. Unlike other, static business, there is no end to development of pharmacology. As soon as we find a cure to some disease, microbe will mutate and create a new problem. But, even though most companies make constant progress, there are certain situations when they provide us with a medicine that doesn’t live up to its hype. Because of this, we had a lot of semi-finished products in last few decades. Not only that, most of them can cause severe side effects and deter people from using similar medicines in future. This is one of the reasons why pharmaceutical firms got bad reputation even with their increasing profits.
Because of this, many companies decided to change their approach to creation of drugs. Nowadays, there are more and more products which are based on natural, organic substances. In most cases, they are extracted from animals, bacteria and plants. Given that the global society is striving towards healthy, holistic life, this change was just the right thing, at the right time. Instead of using potentially volatile chemicals, industry is turning towards organic matters which are similar to those created by our own body. In most cases, animals have some very similar traits to our own. By harvesting their cells, we are able to create products that can cure even the most severe medical issues.
Another big trend in pharmacology is use of supplements. Modern men and women are constantly in a rush. Long work hours often influence our diet. We are constantly immobile, stuck to the same chair. Most of us have limited time which we can invest into our health. As a good solution, companies started making vitamin and mineral supplements that are meant to restore all the natural matter that are lost during a long, hard day at work. Unfortunately, it turns that some of the products have only a limited, if any value to potential customer. There is a big debate about the medicines which are good for us and those that do nothing. Hopefully, in future, there will be some governmental solution that will allow us to differentiate between the two groups.

You! Drugstore team points out the importance of online shopping. As of late, companies are slowly starting to modify their business and turn to online sales. This makes it easier for both patients and medical professionals. Until recently, shopping was a big issue for many customers. Given that they are either sick or old (or both) even the smallest effort could present a problem. With the introduction of companies such as You Drugstore, we finally have a way of supplying drugs to all those that need them.

Need a little extra help touching your toes?























Even at my size I have always been able to touch my toes except for when I was  pregnant. I recently found out that most of my children could not touch their toes. Crazy right. I thought the school had them stretching and exercising. It does show you that you can not assume the school is doing their job keeping your children healthy when they are away from home.

I know that touching your toes does not mean you are healthy but it does mean you have flexibility. All of my children could touch their toes before they went to school. So to remedy the situation I have had them working on stretching touching their toes and even having them do some yoga which they enjoy.

With having Fibromyalgia I can't quite stretch and bend like I used to from the mere fat that has built up on my body, but I can still touch my toes, and almost do a split (the fat on my thighs would probably bust open if I pushed my body all the way to the limit) which is quite amazing in itself.

Childbirth is easier with the more flexibility you have. Stretching is so very important to both health and mind. I usually stretch after I am done meditating which feels great.

I really like how this strap can be made to help people like me stretch just a bit further as well as helping get into yoga moves you just want to get a little closer to the correct pose. Do take caution and never over stretch. Stretch a little more each day if you are not already stretching everyday so that you do not have muscle strain or hurt your body in any way.

You can purchase the DanceCrazy Ultra Stretch Strep on Amazon.

What DanceCrazy has to say about their product.
The DanceCrazy Ultra Stretch Strap!
Simple, yet extremely helpful in stretching.

Brand New from DanceCrazy, an aid in stretching muscles before or after a workout. Great product for people who have always found stretching unassisted to be difficult. Allows you to finally get a good stretch on your own!

Scales for Heavy Weights



The Smart Weigh Bathroom Memory Scale is just that. The Smart Weigh to weigh yourself. This scale stores up to 8 people and lets you know with color if you have gained, lost, or stayed the same. Because I have a daughter with a eating disorder I don't particularly like the red light for weight gained because it seems bad when in her case gaining weight should be green, but most people are trying to lose weight so I see why they would choose red.

This is super easy to use and takes weight up to 440lbs. It is quite hard to find a good scale that does a reading over 300lbs much less 400lbs but 440 is even harder unless you want to spend your paycheck on one, but the Smart Weigh give you this for a fraction of the price you would expect.

Great for big families as I said it holds up to 8 different people.

You can purchase the Smart Weigh Bathroom Memory Scale on Amazon.

What Smart Weigh has to say about their product.
Your search is over! The Smart Weigh SMS500 is the perfect match for what you have been seeking in a memory scale and its advanced step-on technology makes using a scale easier than ever before. Simply step on and receive your precise readings immediately. No set up is needed and you can be on your way to tracking your weight in no time. Why the SMS500? That's easy, because it knows you! In addition to its ease of use, it features an incredible auto recognition functionality that utilizes memory to store and recall the information of up to eight user profiles. That's right, eight users! This is the decisive solution for health, wellness tracking and weight loss, as it differentiates between measurements every time you step on this scale. It will tell you whether you have gained weight or lost it and its large LED display will light up with a color in accordance. Red if you've gained weight and green if you have lost weight, or seen no weight gain. Tracking your results could not be simpler. What sets Smart Weigh apart from everyone else is the advanced sensor technology featured in this scale. It's our way of ensuring our scales are one of the most accurate on the market. We use precision mechanics and components that will alert you if your scale has been moved or needs to be recalibrated. This further enforces the benefit of the innovation and accuracy found within a Smart Weigh scale. The SMS500 records measurements in lbs. and oz. and has a very high capacity, 440 lbs.! It uses 4 AAA batteries and includes a two-year manufacturer's warranty.
