Alviana - Naturkosmetik (Natural Cosmetics) - Classic Feuchtigkeitspflege (Moisturiser)



This is a lip balm with organic jojoba oil, shea butter, beeswax, and olive oil.
It doesn't contain any synthetic fragrances, dyes, preservatives, silicones, or mineral oil-based ingredients.

The scent is faint and a mix of beeswax and shea butter.

It goes on smoothly, the product itself not too hard or too soft.
It isn't too sticky, my hair didn't get stuck in it.

After just one night of use, my lips are a lot less dry. I like it.

Price: ($2.35 for 4.5g)
Scent: 2.5/5 (faint shea butter and beeswax)
Effectiveness: 5/5

DenTek - Complete Clean - Zahnseide-Sticks


These are dental floss sticks with a little toothpick/interdental brush at the end and groves on the head that can act as a tongue scrapper.
I don't use the tongue scrapper part as I have a separate tongue scrapper.

The floss has a mint flavour which is delightful and makes your mouth seem fresher.

Flossing is important and these individual flosses are great.
You get 40 in a pack, so a bit over a month of floss picks.

I do wonder if there is a reusable floss holder that exists that you could restring, so I wouldn't be throwing out plastic each day, or a biodegradable version. 
*These exist and I will try them!

Price: 5/5 ($2.45 for 40)
Scent: 5/5 (minty)
Effectiveness: 5/5

Art Break! - Boar Vessel, 600-500 B.C., Etruscan, Ceramic



I made this a while ago for PB because every man only wants a Boar Vessel, 600-500 B.C., Etruscan, Ceramic.



I loved this meme, it was so wholesome!








I made a little boar out of air dry clay and painted it a shade darker.
I forgot to take photos as I went because I was a smart.



Once it was dry I added lines with a gold sharpie.





I hope PB likes it!




Verdict: He loved it and told everyone about his new prize!

Pukka - Mutterzauber Schwangerschaft (Mother magic pregnancy) Tea



A friend of mine brought this but quickly decided they didn't like the taste (they aren't a big tea drinker to begin with), so they offered the rest to me.
I'm not going to turn down a new tea to try!

The ingredients are raspberry leaves, chamomile flowers, nettle leaves, shatavari root, peppermint leaves, sweet fennel seeds, and orange peel. 

The scent is herbal with a hint of peppermint tea.



The taste is a really refreshing herbal taste, not overwhelming, just nice and delicate. A good tea to those starting to get into herbal tea. 

Overall, this is a pretty nice herbal tea. If someone offers you a cup, don't turn it down just because it is marketed as a pregnancy tea.


Price: 5/5 ($6.15 for 20 bags)
Rating: 5/5

Art Break! - Seahorse Embroidery



*If you want to skip this one, I don't mind at all. This one mentions babies.



This piece is for R's baby!

I sketched it out in my art book,



then onto the material.



I went with yellow and orange as my main colours for this piece, bright and cheerful.






I almost left this as just the outline, so cute!
Filling it in.





I backed it with a circle of yellow felt, to hide the edges.




I made a little 'moz' patch for the back as a way of signing my work.



Then I trimmed it with aqua ribbon and attached it to the baby blanket.



Attach it to the blanket and done!




Verdict: R loved it! It was so lovely being able to make a one-of-a-kind piece for this lovely young family!

I also showed  it to my mother, who has seen a lot of my projects, and she really liked it! High praise!

KVP - Sitobact - Probiotic


I just took this off the net, I think it describes it best:

"Sitobact contains a coordinated mix of five strains of probiotic lactic acid bacteria. The lactic acid bacteria are especially "packed" for the passage of the stomach so that they get into the intestine alive. With the added prebiotic inulin the nutrition of the added lactic acid bacteria is ensured at the same time. In addition, Sitobact contains the essential micronutrients zinc, folic acid, vitamin D3 and vitamin B12, in addition to supporting the immune system."

So it has good bacteria, a prebiotic called inulin, and other vitamins/minerals.
It is meant to help with gut flora and thus help the immune system.

The capsules were easy to take and have no taste.

Price: 0/5 ($71.44 for 90 capsules)
