A Day with Swish Breath Spray [Product Review]

I was left in awe at what I received in the mail from Unilab. Instead of getting just the breath sprays for a product review, I actually received a sample of other products including the Swish Mouthwash from Unilab. It was a generous move from the company that's very much admirable in their efforts in getting honest feedback from consumers.



My husband is huge user of mouthwash and the inclusion of the 2 items were interesting for him. Had him review the Swish mouth wash and here are his thoughts:

1. Compared to Listerene, Swish Mouth Wash is alcohol-free which lets you gargle the mouthwash without getting that stinging sensation in your mouth.

2. On the other hand, Swish Mouthwash had sort of a bitter after taste.

Inside the package, I noticed a very interesting cup included. It's a foldable cup! Forgive me for the ignorance but I was amazed that it existed.


So back to the Swish Breath Spray. The spray containers came in a small box with two variations of the breath spray:
  • Swish Breath Spray Artic Chill
  • Swish Breath Spray Peppermint

How much is it? The suggested retail price is Php 105.





What I like about Swish Breath Spray

  • It was very handy. You can bring it anywhere and stick it in your pouch when traveling for an instant fresh breath.
  • It lasts 100 sprays. That's about 1 month and 20 days of use for someone who consumes one spray per use, twice a day.
  • Just like the mouthwash, it's alcohol-free. No stinging unlike what I experienced with Listerine.
  • It's sugar-free. No bacteria accumulating. 




Some comments on the product:

Here are some things that I think can be improved on the product:
  • Clunky container. I think they can use better dispenser for it since you get varied amount of spray based on how hard you push. You know what I mean?
  • You'll easily lose the cover. Since it's so tiny, you might find it challenging to put the cover on and off and would easily lose it.

Crispy Pata of Golden Cowrie at SM City Cebu

Golden Cowrie or Hukad is a line of native restaurants in Cebu. They are well known for their affordable Pinoy dishes that will leave you impressed of the fact that the quality and affordability can still be combined in a restaurant.

What made them famous though is their version of affordable Crispy Pata - a popular Filipino pork dish made up of deep fried pig feed served with an appetizing sawsawan. It's known for being a great pulutan.

Golden Cowrie has branches in Lahug, SM City, Ayala Terraces, Robinson’s Cybergate and Mactan and now in Cagayan De Oro City. You can view their corresponding contact numbers here: http://www.goldencowrienativerestaurant.com/branches
