ValueRays Pink Warm Mouse III {Review}

Considering that I spend a countless amount of hours on my computer my hands are always in discomfort.  Sometime I have to take mini breaks as the pain in my wrist bothers me to the point of not wanting to type. I have tried heat therapies in the past, but it was so time consuming to the point I quit.  I know the risk associated with pain and typing however I love being on my PC as it's my way of clearing my head of all the daily stresses in life.

I was given the opportunity to review the ValueRays Pink Warm Mouse courtesy of Value Rays.  My first thought was this would not work but to my surprise it helps my pain a lot.  Even though my pain is not related to nothing major it does ease it and makes being online more enjoyable.  Given that my house is also super cold the warm heat from the mouse makes me feel warmer. 

If you know someone who uses their computer a lot this would make a perfect gift to sooth their tired and overworked hands.

The ValueRays® Warm Mouse III is a healthy source of soothing relief to an overworked mouse hand.  It has a new shape to work new hand muscles.  The top of the warm computer mouse is shaped like a large tear-drop oval. The bottom of the heated computer mouse is shaped like a kidney bean.  The slick, new design gives mousing a whole new perspective. The hand rests ontop of the smooth warm mouse and with effortless motion glides its way across the mouse pad. 

 Infrared heat is deep healing and penetrates deep through the skin’s layers directly to the muscle tissue. About 20-30 minutes of infrared heat therapy daily helps improve blood circulation to the hand and fingers.   Plus, the “larger” oval shape of the Warm Mouse III offers a comfortable flat mouse-hand posture.  The mouse hand lays comfortably on top of the oval shape without the need for a tight grip.

New Vaseline Sheer Infusion with Stratys-3

New Vaseline® Sheer Infusion™ with Stratys-3™ body lotion is a breakthrough in moisturizing technology that delivers superior moisture across all skin’s layers of skin

Stratys-3™, the most powerful, patented moisturizing complex on the market, combines three ingredients that infuse and suspend moisture across the skin’s top, core and deep down layers. This results in unprecedented hydration leading to better, more healthy moisturized skin and an unmatched silky skin feel. Clinical studies show that more hydration leads to improved skin softness, smoothness and quicker elimination of dry skin.

Most body lotions on the market today use glycerin as the primary humectant to attract and hold moisture. Glycerin is effective at penetrating the skin’s core, but because it sinks down into skin, it can leave the outermost surface layer, where moisture is needed most on a day-to-day basis, vulnerable to water loss resulting in dry unhealthy skin.  Furthermore, as lotions increase glycerin levels to improve performance, they can leave skin feeling sticky.  Stratys-3 offers a better solution for delivering optimal hydration to all skin’s surface layers than the current industry standard, glycerin.  Each ingredient in the Stratys-3 complex was selected for its unique ability to work optimally at a specific layer of skin so when combined into a lotion, it can effectively care for the top, core and deep down layers of surface skin.

THE PRODUCTS

Vaseline Sheer Infusion with Stratys-3 addresses skin’s needs at every level of skin’s surface to provide hydration that is as complex as skin itself.  Sheer Infusion with Stratys-3 is available in three variants:

Vaseline Sheer Infusion with Stratys-3 is the newest breakthrough in body lotion.  It keeps your skin moisturized and hydrated throughout the day.

I have extremely dry skin which becomes flaky when touched.  Embarrassing as that may seem, it's something that I have grown to get use to.  I often cover up my skin from head to know as I know an embarrassing moment will happen and someone will take notice.  Though the problem may not ever go away it's good to know their are products out there than can help.

I have been using the Vaseline Sheer Infusion with Stratys-3 for about 3 weeks now and I am very thrilled with the results I have seen so far.  My skin is not only moisterized but it feels more healthy and hydrated.  I have been using the Vitamin Burst faithfully as it contains B5 and E and my skin has never felt better.

Here is a useful tip...

This tip works best while in the shower - After the cleansing process remain in the shower, gentle lather your body with the Vaseline Sheer Infusion with Stratys-3.  Gently rub all over for about 60 seconds..let sit.  Rinse off as usual then once out of the show towel dry to remove excess water.  Once skin is completely dry you will notice a huge difference in the way you skin feels.

Let me know how this works out....

Get Healthy Hands - Musical Hand Wash Timer

My Husband and I are always looking for ways to help our children wash their hands more appropriately. But my biggest concern is I want them to be able to wash there hands for the recommended amount of time. So I feel it's extremely important that they learn how to wash their hands at home. Then no matter where they go I will feel comfortable in knowing they are doing it correctly.

I know my kids love to sing the Happy Birthday song when washing their hands but this is something I don't see them doing at school. I tell my kids wash your hands after they sneeze, go to the restroom, or if they touch any surfaces that may contain germs.

I recently was able to try the Musical Hand Wash Timer as pictured above. My first thought was my kids would not like it, but to my surprise they love using the Musical Hand Wash Timer. It allows them to feel more safe as they know when the music is done they are finished. They love that it fits on their favorite soap bottle.

Washing your hands...

Pediatricians, the Centers For Disease Control (CDC), and other experts are published daily in articles with guidelines for washing your hands.

The Disney Musical Hand Wash Timers fit on any liquid soap pump dispenser and feature kids’ favorite Disney characters and music along with flashing lights to encourage kids to wash their hands for 20-25 seconds (the CDC recommended wash time to eliminate germs to a level that will lead to better hygiene). Best of all, parents won’t have to change the brands of soap they know and trust because the patented timer design fits on all standard soap brands.

The CDC Recommends .......

When washing hands with soap and water:

• Wet your hands with clean running water and apply soap. Use warm water if it is available.
• Rub hands together to make a lather and scrub all surfaces.
• Continue rubbing hands for 20 seconds. Need a timer? Imagine singing "Happy Birthday" twice through to a friend!
• Rinse hands well under running water
• Dry your hands using a paper towel or air dryer. If possible, use your paper towel to turn off the faucet

For a complete list and or more information about the CDC please visit their site here.

I know the above can be really hard for a young child to remember especially if they are at school or in any other public location. But that's why sometime you have to make it fun for them. I know that may seem like a hard thing to do, but helping them learn can prevent many diseases.

When your child is at home the Musical Hand Wash Timer can be very useful as it helps them get in the routine of washing their hands for 20 to 25 seconds. Believe me this does make my job more easier.

About the Musical Hand Wash Timer

The Musical Hand Wash Timers fit on any liquid soap pump dispenser and feature kids’ favorite characters and music along with flashing lights to encourage kids wash their hands for 20-25 seconds (the recommended wash time to eliminate germs to a level that will lead to better hygiene). Best of all, parents won’t have to change the brands of soap they know and trust because the patented design fits on all standard soap brands – including wide and thin nozzle brands.

With the Musical Hand Wash Timer, the natural action of pushing down on the pump to dispense soap triggers the music to play. Each unit will get more than 1,000 uses – which is a lot of hand washing!

My overall Opinion of the Musical Hand Wash Timer

The concept is quite brilliant! But there are a few minor problems I ran into - first I noticed that the timer did not fit on soaps that had a skinnier nozzle. At times it kept coming off or twisting side to side. However it was able to fit on the soap that had a bigger nozzle and worked fine. When using I suggest to use small amounts of soap as you don't want the soap to become clogged. (this may be of my kids doing) But other than that I love it!

The Musical Hand Timer cost $3.99 and you can purchase one here on the Get Healthy Hands website.
