Omron HJ-150 Hip Pedometer

My pedometer worked fine for two weeks, and then stopped. The clock works, I’ve reset it, but for two days it did not reliably register steps. Now it doesn’t register at all.

Omron will “fix” it for me, but the cost of shipping it to them and the return (they make you pay for it) is the same as the cost of a new unit.

Reading the reviews it seems some people love their units, but that this failure isn’t unique.

Twice-a-day Weekly Pill Organizer By Apex Healthcare Products

I must admit that my first experience was less than perfect. Apex Healthcare products sent me the wrong product by USPS. As it was not an expensive item, I didn’t bother to return it. (I had just had ankle surgery.) What I did, however, was to complain and the owner himself called me immediately and set the situation aright. And so, it took longer than I might have liked, but it all worked out very well in the end.

Ultra Pill Splitter By Apex Healthcare Products

I got this for my Mom who has to split one of her medications in half. Every month when she gets her prescription she sits down and splits the entire 30 day supply in half. It only take a couple of minutes and she’s done. She’s very happy with this product. Before she used a sharp knife and was constantly retrieving pill halves off the floor. This product does a good job of containing the halves and makes splitting the pills in half much more accurate. This is a great product for the elderly and those with sight impairment.

Steam Facial By Kaz

 This is the exact same steamer my mother bought for me back when I was a teenager and began having skin problems. I was so happy to find the same item again on Amazon. You get A LOT of steam coming out of this thing and it does a nice job of opening up your pores and letting them sweat out all those impurities naturally and gently. I have been doing weekly treatments and my skin has stayed clearer, because my pores have really been getting a deep cleaning. I consider my weekly steamings a treat, as the experience is very relaxing and soothing. My skin glows afterwards.
To those worried about the plastic smell mentioned in other reviews, all I did was wash it out really well with plenty of soap and water, then let it air dry and the smell was gone. It’s just a new plastic smell that you get with any product made of plastic. No biggie.
