JustUme™ Fiber Plum Review

WHAT IS IT: JustUme Fiber Plum


THE PRODUCT(S):

JustUme Fiber Plum: Taking fruit such as plums will help cleanse our digestive tract. JustUme™ contains the Japanese Umeboshi plums combined with 2 strains of probiotic and a special blend of herbs to get rid of digestion problems. Fast paced modern working life tends to result in many modern day problems. Internal problems such as constipation, excessive flatulence, bloating will lead to external issues such as skin problems, weight gain and lethargy. These problems occur when the pH of our body gets too acidic.



The sample had this brown dusting on it, which I took care of easily by rinsing under running tap water. The taste is mixture of sweet and sour, and yet still acceptable. And lo and behold, a seed in it too!


VERDICT: Before trying this for the very first time, I do have to admit I have constipation woes once in a blue moon. And it didn't help that I'm not really a big fruit-lover, unless it's watermelons. And despite trying to eat/try other fruits, let's just say my stomach isn't exactly friends with oranges, since I tend to puke a lot if I so much as take a sip of Orange Juice, and no doubt, oranges are already out of my diet for so long I don't even know how many years. Apples are okay, but then, I got a decayed tooth stuck in an apple during my school days, and I ended up having this phobia that all my teeth are going to get embedded on the apple one fine day. So, watermelons it shall be!!


Anyway, I do eat loads of watermelon once every 2 days since older folks tend to view watermelon as a somewhat "cooling" fruit, and hence too much "cooling" foods aren't exactly good for women due to the monthly cycle thing going on. Which I totally agree when I have really bad stomach cramps. However, long story short, despite eating my watermelon on a regular basis, it didn't really help much with my constipation woes at all. Until, I tried this JustUme™ Fiber Plum for the very first time. And I was actually a little impressed, since I immediately took off for the toilet after a bout of bad stomach pain that cannot decide whether it's a regular stomach-ache or constipation-related issues.


Basically, if you have one of the listed symptoms stated below, then maybe it's time to give JustUme™ Fiber Plum a try:

  • Poor digestion
  • Water retention
  • Bloating & flatulence
  • Fatigue, low energy
  • Prone to sickness
  • Poor and dull complexion
  • Excessive weight gain


Basically for me, I suffered from all listed 7 symptoms and I thought it's really time to try something else for a change. At least to see if anything good comes out of it. And I mean, let's face it. A lot of things in life, you really have to take the plunge and give it a try, if you don't ever take the first step out, you never know what works for you and what doesn't. And so, I decided to give this JustUme™ Fiber Plum and boy, I am a little impressed, like what I've mentioned in the previous paragraph. Although luckily, I suffer from constipation woes once in a blue moon instead of a regular basis.


Along with the little fact that JustUme™ Fiber Plum contains Japanese Umeboshi plum, which is combined with 2 strains of probiotic and a special blend of plant extracts to get rid of digestion problem for cleaner, clearer and healthier intestinal system. Although on a good note, I tend to love drinking... water on a really regular basis. Which kind of explains why I look and feel bloated sometimes. I drink more than I eat, to be honest. If you were to place a cup of milk-shake and a bowl of noodles in front of me, the first thing I would definitely grab is the milk-shake and not the noodles. Unless that bowl of noodles happened to be called "Laksa", then it's a different scenario already.


Despite doctors stressing that we need to drink 8 glasses or 1.5 litres of water everyday to cleanse our body of toxins and the likes, I think I probably excelled in the drinking part already since I know I go more than the requisite 8 glasses daily. And yet, too much liquid consumption isn't really good in the long run, hence a product such as JustUme™ Fiber Plum helps to detoxify right where you need/want it, without having to go through so much hassles or procedures to do so.


And did I mention the flatuence symphony going on after taking it? Yep, it was farts-a-plenty for me. A poot here, followed by a poot there. But it's all really the natural way JustUme™ Fiber Plum works since it's working hard in your body after consumption to make your inside working well and normal again. And I did feel my skin feeling a little better too, with less visible breakouts for a short while. I wouldn't say my pores looked more minimized or anything since this is something that is best used for a long-term period to see the full benefits. But from one plum that gives me release from my stomach-ache/constipation confusion, I would dare say this is actually a good product to consume in the long run. Yep, really impressive for something so small and unassuming.


VERDICT: ✓✓✓


WHAT I THINK: A poot here, followed by a poot there, and then greadual ease in the stomach region. I'm sold!


WHERE TO REDEEM SAMPLE: I previously got to redeem this sample by sending a SMS with my details, but sadly, the redemption was rather fast and quick. And the only way to know about the next redemption is a impromptu Facebook Sponsored Ad.

Samples Received/Redeemed: 28 Jan - 31 Jan 2013

A somewhat good week, if I really had to compare with the previous 2 weeks if samples, freebies and goodies are considered into the equation. And well, I'm always a curious kitty somehow, despite knowing that the samples for this current issue of Feeling magazine by Guardian isn't really in the Wow! category. But still, I am curious to know more about a particular sample which sells really expensive in terms of retail price.


Without further ado, here's my show and tell for this week's Sample + Haul, with inclusion of a NTUC haul on hair products mostly.



By now, we all are aware of the fact that Guardian's magazine, Feeling, costs only a mere S$1.00 every quarterly issue. And each time, there's always a few samples within and each time without fail, there will always be a travel-size toothpaste..



This quarter's issue comes with:
  • Darlie Expert White Short Survey @ http://www.darlieexpertwhite.com/
  • S$1 Coupon, usable with every purchase of Darlie Expert White toothpaste 120g
  • Darlie Expert White toothpaste x 1 @ 40g



Alongside with:
  • NUXE Huile Prodigieuse® Multi Usage Dry Oil x 1 @ 4ml
  • Palmer's Skin Success Eventone Fade Cream Ultra x 1 @ 5g


WHERE TO REDEEM SAMPLE: Available at all Guardian outlets throughout Singapore for a mere cost of S$1.00 only. Next issue will only be out in April 2013 :)




It was rather surprising to receive something from Cetaphil Singapore a good 2 weeks before CNY. And I was practically hoping it's not another Cetaphil voucher, since Cetaphil products are expensive. It actually makes more sense to buy in bulk when there's a discount instead of buying them during a non-discount season. I think what's even worse is the fact that the value of the voucher is rather low too. Imagine I am buying a few hundred dollars worth of Cetaphil products and I can only get a discount of S$5.00? Urgh, no thanks, I'd rather not buy any Cetaphil products in that case.



So, imagine my surprise when I opened up the envelope carefully and see something pink with auspicious Mandarin words on it.



Ang Pao packets. Woohoo! Now that's actually more like it :) This is the front of the Ang Pao packet.



And this is the back of the Ang Pao packet.


WHERE TO REDEEM SAMPLE: None. You need to have to redeem Cetaphil sample(s) prior and have your mailing address on Cetaphil's system for them to send it to you. If not, oh well... :(




So, Ying Ying saw this first (or was this the other way round?) and it was a mass sharing event. Which culminated to me asking "How to get the sample ah?" Turns out, the poster had the details, in which we were supposed to SMS our details as requested for a sample. On the other hand, being shortsighted is good, as you can pinpoint the blurness and the occasional blur-related mistake(s) to "shortsightedness" xD



Anyhoo, when I saw this envelop less than a full week after SMS-ing my deets, I was rather surprised to see this in the mailbox so soon. And yep, although it's only just 1 (*inserts sad troll face*), better than none lah~ Ahahaha xD


WHERE TO REDEEM SAMPLE: Anyway, I'm not really sure if it's too late, but it is still worth a try and send in an SMS. It doesn't hurt not do you lose your flesh nor blood just from trying. I've been trying to get a sample from Guardian's Feeling magazine a few issues back, but to no avail. Until I saw this FB flyer, and like I always like to "preach", "Never Say Die Ah".


Go over to http://on.fb.me/TpbNXB and follow the SMS instructions you see on the online flyer. If there's sample stocks left, you should receive your sample in under a week.




From left to right:
  • Essential Nuance Airy Conditioner x 1 @ 560ml
  • Essential Nuance Airy Treatment x 1 @ 180g
  • Rexona Women Powder Dry with Talc Essence x 1 @ 150ml
  • Garnier PureActive Fruit Energy Daily Energizing Gel Scrub x 1 @ 150ml


WHERE TO REDEEM SAMPLE: Nope. No samples for this one, you have to buy them from NTUC supermarket(s). Even better if you have a NTUC card as you can accumulate points for your purchase(s).
