Amazon Prime Update
So...
You remember when I said I'd update y'all on what its like to finally be PAYING for Amazon Prime and if I thought it was worth it.
Child well look, lemme tell you.
I may as well get on first name basis with the delivery drivers at this point because
THEY WON!!
I don't know what it is about once you pay for something; all of a sudden there is an instant need to make sure you're getting your moneys worth.
In this instance its kind of like; I’m spending a few dollars just to spend a couple hundred on top of it every month.
But that's my business I suppose.
The things we do for next day delivery and and little music streaming...
As promised, I am going to be reviewing the 3 items I linked in the last Amazon post.
In case you missed what those items were, no worries, I got you covered.
Up first is the Cirago Juicer:
Price: $106 before $20 discount
Appearance:
The color is not so spectacular (apple green) but who cares; as long as it works.
* I didn't buy it for aesthetics - it was not meant to match my kitchen décor for the spring*
I did alot of research on different types of juicers before settling on this one;
I needed something that was strong enough to get the juices out of hard fruits/veggies but wasn't going to leave me feeling like there was more juice to be squeezed out.
Gimme all the nutrients.
Setup:
Set up is super easy.
There are direction inside the box so if you need them PLEASE use them.
I am, however, a picture person so looking at the box and one of the diagrams was enough for me to get it put together on the first try. #thechampishere
Once it was all locked into place I took a step back and admired my work.
It is a beauty.
In all the excitement - I got right to juicing.
(I cleaned it as I took each part out.)
I made an apple juice, a cucumber juice and a carrot juice.
The apple juice was best - two green and 1 red.
Up next are the glass jars:
Price: $29.67 (after taxes)
Did you go look at them?
Aren't they pretty!?
Appearance:
The glass jars are stunning.
Super thick, nice quality.
I love the sleeves they came in; very convenient.
When I first opened them I cleaned them with baking soda and vinegar.
They come with a bottle cleaning brush so that's cool.
Nitty Gritty:
I want so badly to recommend them to you guys...
They are so nice appearance and quality wise.
I just cant in good faith and here's why.
5 out of 12 jars came without the rubber piece that secures the lid at its base so 3 jars have already shattered.
When I noticed it was a repeat problem, I inspected each glass and left a review stating my findings.
I didn't get a response from the seller.
Honestly, I left it alone after that.
I did not reach out to the company further.
Man, I want to say run out and buy them...
Hell, I want to buy some more and hope for the best.
I love the jars, I do.
I'd just love them more if all the parts came with them and I didn't lose 3 bottles in the first 2 weeks.
But what are you gonna do!?
Lastly, Bottled Joy:
Price: 21.19 (after taxes)
I absolutely love this water bottle.
When I say WORTH. EVERY. PENNY.
When I was doing #75Hard I had to drink a gallon a day.
Everywhere I went I just kept seeing this bottle.
At some point I fell in love with the idea of having it myself.
Since finishing the program last year I have not kept up with my gallon a day.
(honestly my body doesn't need that much water)
Anyways, I still wanted to get it as a way to encourage myself to at least get back to drinking water more frequently.
Even now, I need to be more consistent.
