-- Product Review --  How exciting to review high-end, original stainless steel frame, i-Design ID1002 UltraLight Aviator Sunglasses made in France! We initially touched base with the company around July 21 st and picked up at the border on August 3 rd . Not a bad time frame at all. The product arrived in a cardboard box (5” high X 7” wide X 10” long) with 8 air bubble packs, some filled with air, others not. The product itself was housed in a smaller cardboard box (2” high X 2” wide X 7” long); inside - there was another vinyl coated box with a magnetic lid (great for storing these expensive shades), which was wrapped in a small plastic bag. The vinyl box expands when you open it and is cloth lined. Inside, I found a small black eyeglass cleaner cloth wrapped in an easily removed plastic covering, that has the iDesign logo printed on one corner of it. And the glasses were encased in a black cloth drawstring bag, also with the logo printed o...

-- Product Review --  Vitamin D3 is officially known as cholecalciferol , nicknamed the "sunshine vitamin" since the body naturally produces it when exposed to the sun.   Aside from exposure to sunlight, you can also obtain Vitamin D3 by eating certain foods, such as mushrooms, fish, eggs, and milk products fortified with the vitamin. Vitamin D3 is a crucial nutrient for overall health – especially in areas that have long winter periods, people who use a lot of sunscreen products and those who spend a lot of time indoors. Even though the body is capable of manufacturing Vitamin D3 from the UVB rays of sunlight, millions of individuals are deficient in this nutrient. Vitamin D is involved in many aspects of good health from maintaining muscles, bones, teeth and immune system, to emotional issues and skin problems. I was quite excited to have the opportunity to review Zahler's supplemental doses of this critical vitamin. We started the discus...

 -- Product Review -- I truly enjoyed working with Roslyn the creative engineer for Pully Pup ( DelightForLife.com ) in getting this product review together for our readers. We initially touched base back in July around the 20 th and we ended up picking up the Pullypup Hands Free Walking and Running Dog Leash at the US border on August 3 rd , where we use a US postal service for Amazon.com orders. The product arrived in a (11” wide X 14” long) yellow bubble envelope. The product was housed in a clear plastic bag, along with a paperboard label folded in half and stapled across the top of the bag. I used a staple remover tool to separate to paperboard from the plastic so that both were able to go into our local recycling stream. The label had only a limited amount of product information such as it was made in China (high environmental impact therefore when you consider shipping, etc.). The company also states that there is no guarantee or warranty with the produ...
