ARS Natural Ant Bait Effectiveness Quick Review

Posted on By sweet surrender No Comments on ARS Natural Ant Bait Effectiveness Quick Review

Ants! Such a fascinating and annoying little creature. We’ve been having ant-problem for a year or so at home. We had tried a similar product like ARS Natural Ant Bait and it did work. I was thinking of buying the previous ant bait that we used but couldn’t find it because I had no idea of the actual name of the product. I used some keywords and Shopee recommended this instead. So I decided to try it.

When it arrived, I was supposed to do an unboxing but my dad opened it before I was in time to get my hands on it. Hence, all you get in this video will be just seeing the ants carrying the baits. It happened so quickly. Within an hour, many ants came out and carried the baits back to their nests.

My experience

It can be a little messy as the ants left some of the baits scattered outside of the container around its path. Hence, be sure to clear the area where you place the bait especially if there are food and water in the area. This is because we found quite a lot of ants that ended up in our drinking water!! You don’t want to contaminate your food with the bait as well.

The number of ants did reduce tremendously within a week. However, it didn’t totally eliminate it. Just leave the bait there and let those newbies continue carrying it to the nest. It’s almost 3 months since we place the bait in several locations. Some of the areas are cleared but some still have random ones coming in and out. At least no longer as bad.

I also did notice some of the ants are smart enough to avoid it by going around it. Just don’t give up. You just have to leave it there until it’s empty or had changed colour due to moisture. I haven’t seen them around already. They likely ended up consuming it as well. Do bear in mind that not all types of ants can be eliminated. Generally, it’s effective for those usually you found at home.

The main ingredient is Boric Acid with sugar in it as well. That’s what attracts the ants to carry the bait back to their nest.

Tip

Here’s a tip on how to use it. There are two containers in one pack. Each container has a packet of bait. You do not have to use one packet of bait for one container. Just open one packet and split them half-half into two containers. Then you will have one packet left for future use.

Where to buy it?

This product is by the No. 1 household insecticide manufacturer in Japan. You can find it easily in local supermarkets. I bought it from Shopee. You can buy it here at this link https://invol.co/cld9l5x

Complete Biotics (Prebiotics & Probiotics): What You Need To Know

Posted on By sweet surrender 9 Comments on Complete Biotics (Prebiotics & Probiotics): What You Need To Know

Ever experience the awful feeling of diarrhea, indigestion, irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), ulcerative colitis symptoms, sleep disturbance, unintentional weight changes, skin irritation, or constant fatigue? If your answer is “yes” to one or more of the symptoms listed, do read on.

In this day and age, leading a busy and fast paced lifestyle is common among Malaysians. This tends to prevent one from eating a balanced diet. Healthy and nutritious food plays a crucial role in one’s life as this is what makes one get up and going every day. However, due to modern lifestyle, many would opt to eat out or get takeaways which is why many are suffering from digestive or gut problems. This problem is commonly caused from bacteria in food, stress, infection, usage of certain medications, or chronic medical conditions such as colitis or Crohn’s disease. If it is not treated or improved, it can affect one’s life quality and potentially cause embarrassments.

We always hear about prebiotics and probiotics which can help in improving the gut problems that many people are facing. Ever wonder what they are and/or how they can fix the problems of the gut?

Prebiotics are non-digestible fibers which are compounds that can be found in food such as oats, rye, wheat, rice, or barley. It induces the growth or activity of beneficial microorganisms (bacteria and fungi) that can be found in the large intestine by altering the composition of organisms in the gut microbiome. While Probiotics are beneficial live bacteria and yeasts that can be found in yogurt, kimchi, miso, and other fermented foods. It is good for one’s gut health and digestive system which contribute to better immune system. When one has sufficient probiotics, sufficient postbiotics will be produced, to fulfill one’s need to maintain better energy, metabolism, and nervous system because it contains lactic acid, acetate, short-chain fatty acids, and folate.

Having both prebiotics and probiotics in one’s daily diet seems to be the key for staying physically fit in the modern days. Fortunately, YourGutt has both goodness that can assist one to improve gut health. Since prebiotic can be found in rice bran and probiotic can be found in fermented food, having fermented rice bran powder as part of one’s diet is the key to enhance the well-being of one’s gut. Rice bran contains beta glucan and other dietary fibers. Many are not fond of the taste of rice bran on its own but the good news is that YourGutt fermented rice bran powder is available in mango and chocolate flavor. Furthermore, YourGutt is the first in Malaysia and Asia to have the complete-biotics – prebiotic, probiotic, and postbiotics to satisfy the gut’s need.

It is not easy to get balanced nutrient in one’s meal if one is constantly eating out and always on-the-go. Hence, to ensure one is getting enough nutrition for the gut, a simple step such as adding Yourgutt complete biotics powder supplement in one’s daily diet can help. There should be noticeable improvement in one’s digestive system, energy level, and immune system when “good” or “helpful” bacteria is present in one’s digestive system.

Lastly, happy gut, happy day.

Inner and Outer Sun Protection with NUViT

Posted on By sweet surrender No Comments on Inner and Outer Sun Protection with NUViT

I’ve tried a new sun care product recently. Even though it’s MCO, we stay at home but we are still exposed to harmful UV and blue light radiation. Hence, don’t be lazy with sunscreen application. I apply sunscreen daily even when I’m not going out. It’s a must for me or else my morning skincare routine will not be completed. Aside from that, I will have my daily Vitamin C supplement too.


NUViT has it all covered!

NUViT Daily Defender SPF50+***(RM55.90) with 360° Invisible Shield is non-greasy, lightweight, moisturizing, long-lasting, not sticky, and soothing. There is no paraben, fragrance, or alcohol in it. The key ingredients are Pollushield™, Ceramide, Laminaria, Ochroleuca Extract, and Hyaluronic Acid. All these ingredients can protect from UVA and UVB damage which cause photo-aging; anti-pollution to protect against urban dust and reduce metal imbedding into skin; reduce oxidative stress in skin cause by blue light and boost collagen production; restore skin barrier; and moisturize skin.


I’ve been using it daily. It doesn’t break me out. Fast absorbing with velvety finish. Use it as the last step of morning skincare routine by applying it evenly on the face and neck.

As for defense from within to complement the sunscreen, you can drink NUViT Sunblox(RM80) daily. It helps in reducing sunburn effect, skin aging, and skin damage from UV radiation while maintaining skin elasticity. Best to drink in the morning. It contains Vitamin C and collagen that are known to improve body’s defense system while improve other aspects of skin. This nutritional orange and lemon flavor beverage has no sugar, fat, preservatives, and artificial colouring added.


The key ingredients are 2000mg Collagen Tripeptide to maintain skin elasticity; 300mg Vitamin C to boost immunity; while clinically proven NutroxSunâ„¢ and Polypodium Leucotomos Extract are plant-based strong antioxidants that protect skin from UV ray free radicals.

Mix 1 sachet with 180ml room temperature water and stir well. Consume 1 sachet daily. I do like the taste, not too sweet, not too sour. You can add honey to enhance the sweetness but it’s sweet enough for me. Remember to really stir it well and drink it immediately as it will oxidize. By the way, in general, collagen supplement is beneficial, I experienced good effect from it, I had less breakouts and hair loss was less too. I believe Sunblox will do the same.

Medi Heally Eye on Pack | Home Spa for the Tired Eyes

Posted on By sweet surrender No Comments on Medi Heally Eye on Pack | Home Spa for the Tired Eyes

If you use your eyes a lot for computer screen or mobile devices, your eyes can feel tired and the area surrounding it will feel tense. We shouldn’t be looking at the screens for too long but sometimes we just cannot avoid it.


I found Medi Heally Eye on Pack awesome! I could feel my eye area including the forehead relaxed and my eyes were brighter too after using it. Even water retention, puffiness, and dark circle under the eyes are improved. The pack is self heating. Just put it on like wearing an eye mask, lie down on your bed, close your eyes and relax for 30 minutes. I would say to use it in the morning so that you can start your day with a fresh and rested eyes. Do it while you are snoozing 😉 hehehe…

Otherwise, use it at night before you sleep but make sure you remove it before you fall asleep because the heat can go up to 40 degree Celsius. Long exposure to heat might not be good, I’m worry that you might suffer capillary break around the area.


It has quite a fair bit of herbal smell but not too bad. The heat could really last for quite a fair bit. Maybe can use it as a heat pack if the day is cold instead of throwing it away after using it on your eyes.

It has 5 pieces of individually packed eye masks in the box selling at RM28 in Althea. Two thumbs up from me. I’ve restocked this in my recent spree ;p
