Comfortable Compression Gloves









I am in a constant battle with my hand and feet Neuropathy pain now. I have tried every thing I can think of to find relief. I have been seeing a chiropractor on a normal basis. I have purchased expensive insoles. I have tried foot soaks. I have tried pain creams, oils and rubs. I have tried gloves in the past that I could just not find comfort wearing..that is until now.

I was browsing one of my favorite review sites the other night and applied for a product titled Best Compression Gloves. I was approved and immediately placed my order. My product arrived in a few days and I have been very happy with my results. These gloves come in small, medium and large. I have very small hands so I assumed I would need the small. The small fit my hands and fingers very well but I do have to turn down the wrists because they were a bit tight. I have found these gloves to be extremely comfortable to wear and very effective against the swelling in my hands and fingers. I can wear them at work or at home. Since these gloves are finger less they do not affect my ability to type and in fact I am wearing them as I type this review. These gloves are so comfortable I can even manage to go to sleep in them. This has been a blessing since I can sleep in them my hands are not so swollen I can hardly move them in the morning! The gloves are breathable which means they are not very warm in the cold but not useless in the heat.

I have noticed one small thing that I am a bit disappointed with in these gloves. They have little thin rubber like designs on the under side of the palms and fingers. I loved this feature as it made gripping things very easy also. I am upset that with my daily use my grippers as I call those designs are starting to peel off leaving the glove not as easy to grip with. This is really the only thing that I have found that is not absolutely perfect for me with these gloves and the only real area I have found that could use improvement for the product.

I am very happy with the product for the deal I received them for. I would recommend working on the grip design so that it lasts much longer on the product. I have not sent mine into laundry yet so I am not sure the grippers will survive that process. In due time I will find out though. The compression is amazing with these gloves and for my condition at least works perfect. I have had such good luck with these gloves I am more than interested in some of the other products in this line.

Great Pick Me Up & Carry Me Through Breakfast Addition!



 I am always trying to find something quick yet filling for breakfast. I also need something that is going to stick with me a while and if it gives me extra energy to power through the day even better. I had been struggling with my power breakfast and the pop tarts I was eating did not seem to be doing a whole lot for the sticking with me a while or giving me ANY energy. I was getting to work and within an hour or so I was starving. I changed all this when I discovered organic Matcha-Green Tea.

I will be the first to admit when I opened the bag I though how in the world could this ever be consumed. It is green and has a tea smell to it. You usually need a spoon to break up the clumps so that you do not get a ton more than you meant to. I had agreed to try the product so I had to come up with some kind of plan.

First, I experimented with a smoothie. I added a tea spoon of the Matcha-Green tea in with a tea spoon of cacao powder, some pineapple, a squeeze of Domino liquid agave nectar sweetener, and some coconut milk. To my surprise this was pretty good but I was not sure how I felt about the cacao powder in with it. Next, I decided to try just the Matcha-Green tea in with the coconut milk. It sounded like a great idea in essence but it turned out to be a total flop. The taste was quite dry, a bit bitter, and by every means horrible! I decided to mix in the Domino sweetener, a splash of vanilla flavoring and a few pineapples. This helped and turned out to be pretty good but I decided it was better with the cacao powder.

Last but not least I came up with a plan to try this in my coffee. I had some Folger Flavor Enhancers I had gotten from a Crowdtap campaign so I decided these and the tea would be a great morning get me going fix. I was drinking along and it wasn't bad, until I got to the bottom of the coffee in my cup where I discovered all the Matcha tea! I have to say that last sip was rough. Lesson learned you stir, stir, and stir some more if you want this in your coffee.

I have made it a morning routine to add Matcha-Green tea to my breakfast in some way. I do this because I have found that when I drink this tea I am not as hungry when I get to work. In fact I don't get real hungry for some time. I also think it helps with my energy. Best of all there is no crash from the energy you get from consuming the tea. I incorporate this into my breakfast every day now except for Saturday and Sunday when I have free will to eat when I want or sleep mostly when I want.

Don't be Fooled by Such a Cute Box This Cream Means Business!



I have just recently been diagnosed with neuropathy. Anyone who has this knows there is not a day goes by that you are not in some kind of pain. My pain is my hands and feet are swelling, burning, going numb, and ache. I was recently on medication that I could only take acetaminophen with, nothing with ANY NSAIDs. This was horrible for me because acetaminophen rarely eases any types of pain for me. I actually had a spliting headache when I came across an invitation to try Back to Normal Arnica Cream.

Being in pain it only took me minutes to decide that this was something that I was very interested in. I made my interest in the product known and was one of the lucky ones chosen to try this product. I was very anxious to get the product. Even if I had got my headache under control I still had this pain in my hands and feet that I was guaranteed that I could test it with.

When my cream arrived I was immediately in awe of the package. A very cute design with a pretty little yellow flower on top that pulls apart and allows the box to open and the jar of cream to slide out. Right off I give a huge kudos for thinking about us with aching hands. The box was so simple to open. A few gentle shakes and the jar of cream also slid right out and into my hands.

The jar is a nice little jar pretty simple to open as well but without a lot of bells and whistles. It is white with a nice label and kind of a silver gray lid. The lid unscrews easily and lifts right off revealing the cream inside. I did not really know what to expect with this product but I did expect at least some kind of smell. This product has very little smell and what it does is not a medicine smell like you might expect. It is very light.

The cream itself is white in color. It goes on easily and does not leave behind an oily residue. A little bit of the cream on my hands and a few good massaging rubs and it went right into my skin. So I bet you would like to know the outcome on did it help my pain at all. Yes, I think it did help ease some of the pain in my hands. Now this is not to say I was cured and pain free from then on but I did receive some relief. Now when my hands start hurting in between my dose of meds I reach for my Back to Normal Cream.

I would give this product a 5 out of 5 stars. It is a nicely designed product for a real need for many people. The company has obviously considered their clientele with the design of the product right down to the packaging it comes in.
