Neureg spag.Peka Drops



May I present to you more homeopathic bulls**t!

This is an alcohol based tincture and I don't appreciate the alcohol.

This product is supposedly for:
"The fast pace of modern life places large demands on many individuals' mental and physical performance. As a result, it is necessary to help the body overcome mental strain and emotional exhaustion. NEU-regen syrup helps restore proper organ function and energetically balance the performance of the body through gentle regulation. In contrast, drugs such as stimulants and sedatives place even greater demands upon an exhausted body."
Which is all a bunch of baloney.

In addition to mostly alcohol, this bottle of booze was shown google image search pictures of Argentum nitricum, Cinchona officinalis, Conium, Nux vomica, Staphysagria, Avena sativa, Ginseng, Piper methysticum, Argentum nitricum, Cinchona officinalis, Conium, and some sugar.

Of course I do not recommend this product at all.
It won't do anything apart put some stuff in your body that your body just has to get rid off.

Price: 0/5 ($31.12 for 150mL of s**t gin)
Effectiveness: -5/5

Mein Vita - Coenzym Q10 200mg (Coenzyme Q10)


These are gluten free, vegan coenyme Q10 capsules.

They are of a medium-small size, so easy to take, and are a clear capsule with a orange-yellow powder inside (which looks visually fun to me).

Since these don't specify the form of Q10, it's probably ubiquinone.
Ubiquinol is the more expensive, reported as easier for your body to absorb, form.
But for me, the more common form is just fine.

Price: 4/5 ($21.86 for 120 capsules)
Scent: 2.5/5 (no scent, no taste)
Ubiquinol or Ubiquinone: ubiquinone

Krüger You - Trink-schokolade (Drinking Chocolate)  - Chill Out mit Lavendel (with Lavender)



This is a hot chocolate powder with lavender (which I am all about).

It dissolves into the (oat) milk quickly, isn't clumpy, and tastes really nice.

I would personally like there to be more lavender, but I would eat lavender flowers if I could.




Price: 5/5 ($4.53 for 300g)
Taste: 5/5

Micro USB Camera with Cleaning Attachment 



Sometimes I want to see more than I can naturally see.
I want to know more.

I want to see in my ears. XD

This is a thin USB camera, with LED lights, that you can use to see inside your ears.
It doesn't get hot and comes with a little blunt, looped wire attachment which you can use to remove wax.
Like a microscope the movement is shown in reverse, so you may think you need to move the camera left, but it really should go right.

Don't @ me that this is a bad idea, I don't care.

I gave it to PB to examine his own ears and ... he was horrified. 

This is my new favourite toy.

Price: 5/5 ($16.57 for one)
Effectiveness: 4.5/5

Same Product, Different Scent - Lavera - Heimat Momente - Ringelblumen (English Marigold) Shampoo




This is a organic, vegan, silicon-free shampoo.


The scent in the bottle is true to marigolds and perhaps a touch of citrus. It smells so nice!

It cleans well and leaves no residue. It doesn't lather that well, but it does the job.

Price: 3.5/5 ($6.00 for 200mL)
Scent: 5/5
Effectiveness: 4.5/5

Palmolive - Aquarium - Liquid Hand Soap



When PB told me that the soap dispenser in the bathroom was broken, I knew exactly what I wanted as a replacement.
I wanted the fish soap.
I've wanted the fish soap for ages.



This bottle is designed to look like it has fish swimming in it.
There is an extra piece of plastic inside to add more depth to the visual, giving three layers to have images on.

There are a number of different designs; a dolphin, a clown fish, a dory, and a turtle.
I picked the turtle.
It also has angelfish swimming around it.

The soap itself is clear, lathers well, cleans well, and has a mild floral/fruity scent.

Once the soap is finished, I will be refilling this bottle over and over again.

It brings me joy everytime I see it.

Price: 5/5 ($2.99 for 300mL)
Scent: 4/5
Effectiveness: 5/5

Art Break! - 'Die Mad About It' Embroidery



This is a fun little piece I made for Miss Buttons :D 

For this I sketched it up in my art ideas book.



To start I drew up some guide lines for the lettering.


These were too narrow.

Better!
I made this template for what I want the text to look like (on PowerPoint, because I'm a computer wizard).


I started doing the letters really carefully, but I soon found I was avoiding doing it all together because I wanted it to be perfect.



No, let's start again. This time keeping it fun.




I put it in a bigger hoop (when my hoops finally arrived) and started the surrounding decorations.




My new 2B pencil to sketch things out.








I washed the pencil marks off and cut away excess fabric.



How I sew up the back.



I also used this teal felt to back it.




My little sewn signature.

Done!


Verdict: She loved it!
