Centrum Flavor Burst Review

Another review for the wonderful Smiley360 website, this time for Centrum Flavor Burst vitamins. As usual, although I was provided this product for free, this is my own opinion.



I'm definitely not a vitamin person. I have to take quite a bit of pills for medical reasons, and I just couldn't stand taking more. I also have a problem where pills sometimes get stuck in my throat and I have a hard time with that. However, I also want to keep healthy and I know one of the best ways to get my daily intake is to take a multi-vitamin. So when I heard about Centrum Flavor Burst chews, I was pretty excited to try it.

The flavor is actually really good. I have to say I was expecting it to be chalky and not that great, kind of like how chewable vitamins were when I was a kid. Not these. They reminded me of a grape gumball and didn't have any chalky texture or bad aftertaste, which was great.

A serving size is 4 chews (they are not sugar free), and here is a nutritional breakdown:



 Calories: 25
Total Carbs: 6g
Vitamin A- 2,000 IU
Vitamin C- 60mg
Vitamin D- 800 IU
Vitamin E- 40 IU
Vitamin B6 : 2 mg
Folic Acid- 400 mcg
Vitamin B-12: 10 mcg
Biotin: 150mcg
Pantothenic Acid: 10 mg
Iodine - 80 mcg
Zinc- 5 mg

There is a downside to these however.  As I mentioned, 4 of these equal one serving. I've checked prices in various areas and found them to be anywhere from $9.00 to $10. Here, it's about $9.50. That's about 10 cents a chew, so 40 cents for a serving. Compare that to most Centrum brand vitamins which are about 11 cents a pill, and you only take one of those. So if you are trying to be more cost efficient, you are better getting a standard multivitamin. They do contain 4 grams of sugar which aren't the best if you are on a low carb or sugar diet.  Also, these contain soy, so avoid these if you have a soy allergy.

A big thing that bothered me, however, is that the Centrum Adults Under 50 has substantially more nutrients in it. Here's a little side by side comparison:


Final verdict: Centrum Flavor Burst are great if you have problems with swallowing pills or if just having a chewable one appeals to you. But you will be paying for the convenience, and you won't be getting as much as a standard multivitamin. However, they do taste great, so it's up to you to see what fits you better. If you do decide to try them, grab this $2.00 off coupon.

As always, feel free to leave a comment about this review and let me know if you've tried it and what your experience is!

ASMR - Tingles Everywhere

I have a lot of problems with my anxiety that gets so bad that I can't even leave the house. It also disrupts my sleep and I get pretty sleep deprived. I take enough pills already, and I didn't want to tack an addictive sleeping pill on top of everything. But I finally found something that actually relaxes me enough that I can finally get some very much needed shuteye. ASMR videos. ASMR stands for Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response. ASMR Research & Support defines it as "a physical sensation characterized by a pleasurable tingling that typically begins in the head and scalp, and often moves down the spine and through the limbs." These tingling sensations are triggered by either an internal trigger (from specific thought patterns) or external ones. External triggers can include things like whispering or unique speech patters, watching educational/instructive videos, sounds like scratching, tapping or paper crinkling, close attention from another person (like e

Smiley360 Review: Kikkoman Juicy Bird Project

So recently, I was chosen for Smiley360's " Kikkoman Juicy Bird Project ". In this we were to brine a chicken or turkey using Kikkoman Soy Sauce. Although I received these items to review for free, this is entirely my own opinion. I also apologize ahead of time for my usually horrible pictures as my cell phone has trouble in low light. I think it's time to start using a proper camera! "Experience the taste of umami in your meals with Kikkoman Soy Sauce . Try cooking with this dynamic sauce in traditional Asian dishes, mainstream American foods, classic Mediterranean dishes, Caribbean cuisine, or even to brine poultry." I've never brined poultry before, so I was excited to participate. I received not only 2 coupons for a free bottle of Kikkoman Soy Sauce, but a 5 gallon brining bucket as well. First, here's the recipe that was recommended: Kikkoman Chicken Brine Recipe Ingredients 2 cups Kikkoman Soy Sauce 2 Gallons water 1

Fractals and Pokemon

I've been quite busy the past few months and neglected to update the blog! Hopefully soon I will also be able to post about Dialectical Behavioral Therapy. Some of the things that relate to my Borderline Personality Disorder can be difficult to discuss about, but I want to talk about it in the hopes that it helps someone. But for now, I hope you enjoy some of the newer art I have been working on. One of my dear friends really likes Vaporeon and Eevee. I haven't drawn anything in years, but I wanted to try to give him something special. I used a reference image that I found online on my second monitor. The original image was from a coloring page on a site that had many, so I do not know the original artist. I will add a credit here as soon as I find out! Here is the original sketch. As you can see, I cannot draw a straight line for the life of me. I use an (old) Wacom Bamboo tablet, but even with a nice pen, I can't draw straight. Which is fine, since then I
