How To Make a Well-Written Product Review

     I have been an Amazon Prime Member for the whole year last year and have reaped a lot of benefits. I most specially enjoyed the free 2-day shipping they offer for members only. I mean, who doesn't like free shipping, right? I enjoyed it more when I started getting products for free! Although not all items were free (some were 50-90% off) they were still good deals.

     Last year, I mostly reviewed baby items  which was very timely and useful for my toddler. I also blogged about sports items such as water bottles and running belts. Aside from that, I also enjoyed getting free or discounted beauty products. Writing reviews is easy once you get used to it. Here are some tips for newbies...

  1. First, use the product! That's the only way you can come up with a good review. Test the product and use it as specified. Sellers usually have ebook instructions with their products or they can assist you on how to properly use it.
  2. Focus on the uses and features that you like about the product
  3. When writing a blog, try to incorporate the product in your life. How did you use it today? Was there a special occasion when you used it? Has it improved your life a little? I was try to talk about when I used it and how the result was.
  4. What did you not like about the product (if any). Sellers welcome both positive and negative reviews. Try to think how the product could have been improved etter. But most of all, contact the seller first before writing a negative review. They can either help you with the problem or if the product was damaged, they can always send you a new one.
  5. And if you really like the product, would you also recommend it to your family or friends? 
     Try answering these questions or try these tips to come up with a good Amazon review and not just putting one sentence. Lastly, add a photo or video. Not only will the seller appreciate your effort but other buyers would be grateful for your well-written review. This helps them decide whether or not the product is worth buying or not.

     There are a lot of groups that give out codes for free products with a promise that you will write them a product review (on Amazon). Some of my favorites are Tomoson, Elite Deals Club, AMZ Review Trader, and last but not least, Reviewsio.


     Aside from free or discounted items, Reviewsio also offer pointing system that will allow you to get rewards. For example, you get a referral link and when someone joins through your link you will get 100 points. You also get 5 points just by logging on each day.


     If you're interested in getting deeply discounted items on Amazon, sign up on Reviewsio today! Below is my referral link. Once you sign up, you will also get your own referral link to share and start earning points! Accumulate points and redeem an Amazon gift card!

Babyolas Bath Time Organizer

     As a mom, my daily routine includes cleaning, organizing and cleaning. Having a toddler means clutter everywhere and toys everywhere. Even bath toys! Sometimes I find a rubber duckie under the couch?!!!

     That is why I was so relieved and happy when I got approved to test and review the Babyolas Bath Time Organizer. Keeps all the bath toys in one place! Making it organized and ready for next use. 



     The bag is made of a mesh so the excess water form the toys can drip off and dry out after some time. The suction cups can be attached to tiles or glass. I attached ours to the tiles and made sure that it's not within my child's reach. Otherwise, all my efforts to organize becomes a big fail. It also comes with 2 strong suction cups for hanging wash cloths or other toys that can be hung. What my daughter really loves about this product is the free squeaky toys! There is a tiny rubber duckie and a blue penguin. They're so tiny and cute!



     I almost gave this product a bad rating because it kept falling!!! I thought it was because my tiles were not that clean? But I just cleaned it that day. Or maybe it's too heavy? I took out everything and it still fell off! And just as I was about to message the seller, they sent me an email regarding tips on how to use the bath time organizer! and I learned that you have to put petroleum jelly on the suction cups to keep them intact with the tiles! What a relief!

    I have purchased this product almost 2 months ago. We're still using and loving it! Whether or not you have a toddler with a hundred bath toys or not, you definitely need this product in your shower!

     Check out the product on Amazon and get yours today!

Stroller Organizer and Diaper Bag by Angel Baby

     If you're diapers bag is as messy as mine used to be, don't worry! There is hope! The Angel Baby Stroller Organizer is here! I can keep my little one's clothes and milk in our diaper bag and put her toys, diaper and wipes, my phone and sunnies in the stroller organizer. Makes diaper changing a breeze! I don't have to rummage through my bag or take out all the stuff just to find something.


This feature makes the wipes very accessible!




     By the way, it is not just a stroller organizer, it's also a diaper bag! A diaper bag because it can hold one or two diaper and wipes (and a diaper rash cream) - it's all you need when you go to public restrooms and need to do some diaper changing action. It comes with an adjustable shoulder straps so you can easily turn it into a shoulder bag! How cool is that!



     My baby daddy loves it too because it's black! We have a baby girl so most of our baby items are wither pink or too girly for him. Although he doesn't really mind a pink bag, I'm sure he likes this one better. 


     My mommy friends also liked it and often asked where I got it. I also recommended it to my cousin who recently had baby. She actually already has one but would prefer this one so it's not too girly. 

     Check it out on Amazon and get yours today!

THZY Universal Car Mount

     When navigating to a new place or going on a long drive, a GPS comes in handy. Other times, we just use our "maps" on our phones. Therefore, there is a need for a car mount. In my photo below, you will see 2 examples of car mounts. Below is is vent car mount and top is a windshield car mount. 
     
     I like the top car mount because it is the suction on the windshield kind. It is better than my old vent car mount (near the steering wheel). I position it well so my phone is in my eye level so I can just quickly look at it and then get back on the road. It's easy to adjust and the bottom is extended to support the phone. I have a Samsung Galaxy S3 and my husband has iPhone 6 and they both fit perfectly because this is a universal car mount. 

     It also tilts and swivels. The suction is strong and my phone hasn't fallen off. Although there is a plate on the bottom that holds the phone, I can still insert my charger. I just put the charger on and place my phone back on the car mount. There is an opening on the said plate so I can charger or play music.

Reusable Soft Silicone Bib by Baby Go-Green

     When my daughter was less than a year old, she used the cloth bibs. Overtime, she outgrew them. Some of them were too tight on the neck... others were too soiled that I don't even want to see them anymore! Sometimes, she would yank them off and refuses to use bibs at all. We always end up with dirty clothes after meal time. Some food leave a permanent stain on her shirt which makes me think of buying new bibs again.

     We also used the laminated bibs with food catcher. That kind of bib is also a thumbs up for me. And a double thumbs up for the Soft Silicone Bib by Baby Go-Green! These soft reusable silicone bibs are very convenient to use. My daughter likes it too and she doesn't even take it off like what she does with her regular cloth bibs. The snap closures are adjustable and they are super soft! They are also easy to clean. I just use wipes to wipe them down then store them back into the diaper bag. It comes in a pack of 2 so I leave the other one at home. The food catcher feature is very efficient as was made in such a way that it's ready to catch crumbs. I give this bib a 5-star rating!

Baby Carrier by OZN Commerce

     My little one is turning 2 this month and we've been through 2 baby carriers. Both of them are the SSC (soft structured carrier) kind. I like those kind because you just buckle them up, adjust and you're good to go!

     I have seen the Mei Tai kind of baby carriers before but only in Pinterest and DIY blogs. So this is actually my first time to get my hands on a Mei Tai baby carrier and I just love it! Here are some of the features that I love about the OZN Commerce Baby Carrier.

    First, I fell in love right away with its delicate embroidery feature. It sort of reminds me of Anna's dress (from the movie "Frozen"). Don't you think so too? 


     The straps that rest on my shoulder area are padded for comfort. Same with the top area where the baby's head is. That way it can wrap around your little one without being too snug.


     
     I can sew and I am very keen when it comes to sewing and sewn products. I must say, this baby carrier is very well made and I just love the details!
It has a pictured instruction manual for easy use.
    





     It does take some practice to use this baby carrier. Just keep practicing and there are also YouTube video tutorials that will show you how to use this kind of carrier. Baby can be worn on the front or back like our photos.  My little one and I love our new baby carrier! She thinks we are just playing around doing some "horsie, horsie" ride. After I took it off, she cried! She said, "More, more!" Hahaha. She loves horseback rides that's why. 

     Check out the product on Amazon and get one for you and your baby!

Microcareful Premium Wash Mitt

     Who likes to wash their cars? Not me. I leave the car washing activities to my husband (yes, he is so sweet)! But it rained last week and I didn't like the raindrops to dry on my truck and leave marks. At least not on the windshield. That's all I cared about. So I use my purple wash mitt and wiped down those water droplets on my windshield. 

     The Microcareful Premium Wash Mitt has 3 components (1) the purple wash mitt, (2) a small gray mitt, and (3) the yellow car dry towel.







          I also use the yellow towel around the house, most specifically, in cleaning our windows. Check out the product on Amazon:

     Here is a more detailed information on how to use this wash mitt in cleaning your car!
