Conair The Knot Dr Review

Got Conair the knot dr for free from Homes Tester Club. 

The product claims to detangle hair and it does. It makes my hair nice and straight. It does dry your hair but takes longer than normal hair dryers. It's not as hot as hair dryers so don't expect to dry your hair the same way. Pretty much have to turn it up to level 3 to really feel the heat. It's good in a way so you don't burn yourself or your scalp. I believe you have have press on the cold air button for cold air but it feels warm to me.

I'm not too sure about volumizing hair. I guess it kind of does if you comb underneath the hair? I've seen their other knot dr it comes with another attachment for it I think. This one did not have it.

It was easy to remove hair on the brush with the big gaps in between. I thought the gadget was quite long in size but good thing it's light or arms will feel tired. It would be nice if they made it smaller so it's easier to store and take on trips. 

I also thought it was very loud, much louder compared to a hair dryer. It's like having a vacuum cleaner right beside your ear. 

They should also use a different font colour on the packaging because it's super hard to read the white font on a light blue box. Other than that I think it's a pretty good detangle device.

Arc Blue Light Teeth Whitening Kit Review

I received Arc blue light teeth whitening kit for free from Shopper Army. The kit claims to whiten teeth in 3 days and yes it did. After using it my mom and husband said my teeth were a bit whiter after just one use.


First of all, you have to stick the strips on. The strips don't stick when they are wet so try to dry your teeth before sticking the strips on. The top is easier to stick but bottom layer is a bit harder to stick because it gets wet from all the saliva.


During the whole process, the strips at the back of the teeth weren't really sticking and felt like it was coming off. But the front was still stuck on my teeth, I guess that's what matters the most. It didn't slip or slide at all, like it claimed.

I'm just a little confused with the time because the package says to leave it on for 60 minutes but their website says 30 minutes. Well, I left mine on for 60 minutes with last 5 minutes with the blue light. I find the whole process a bit time consuming and I had to spit quite a few times during that hour. I was afraid to swallow any of the ingredients although it said online you can drink water during the process if you like.

I didn't feel any teeth sensitivity but it gave me this light sore feeling after the treatment. Kind of feel like after you get your teeth cleaned at the dentist but not as intense.

I was also looking at their website and it said you throw the blue light away after one kit plus 2 refills. I thought that isn't very eco friendly but good thing they offer a recycling option on their website for the product.

I would recommend this product for people that wants to whiten their teeth. You do see a difference after one use with no sensitivity problems.

Typhoon BBT Cafe Review

Hubby decided to try this place for dinner. I've actually never tried this place before, friends have gotten BBT from them and that's it. We were like the only table eating there for awhile but lots of take outs. They actually do more covid checks than other places. We had our temperatures and vaccine cards checked. They also had to sanitize our hands. However, there weren't any barriers/plastics between tables.

We ordered the typhoon house special chicken nuggets with noodle ($10.45+$3.45) and salty peppery chicken nuggets with noodle ($9.45+$3.45).

The typhoon nuggets looks pretty much like the normal salty peppery nuggets but it had green onions and garlic on it. The nuggets had some kind of sour sauce to it and later made the nuggets a bit soggy. It tasted very different compared to the regular ones, it was sour, very garlicky and had something else to it but not sure. I think I prefer the normal ones better but it's always nice to try new things.

The salty peppery chicken was crunchy and the chicken was tender and still juicy. I find them a bit more garlicky compared to other places but still good. You will just have this strong garlic after taste for awhile.

The noodle was normal, nothing too special. The soup and noodle had enough flavour, not overly salty.

Overall, it's ok, not bad but I think I had other better salty peppery chicken somewhere else. They also have lunch and happy hour special, pretty much around same price but you get a listed drink for free.



Saw a double rainbow while at the restaurant, hopefully all the bad luck will be gone from now on!
