On the southern edge of Manhattan stands a quiet piece of Americana. Governors Island, situated in New York Harbor, blends a sense of nostalgia with twenty-first-century amenities. The pristine setting showcases the island's rich history, including the vital role it played until recently in the country's armed forces. From its early days as the site of a British fort in the 1700s, to its longstanding role as a station for the U.S. Army and the Coast Guard, to its function as a venue for political receptions and parties, the island has hosted a dazzling parade of the brave and the dignified. But Governors Island encompasses more than military history; it offers a vivid reflection of historic events in New York City and the world at large.
Ann L. Buttenwieser brings this rich legacy to life, creating a striking portrait of the island through never-before-published photographs, blueprints, architectural plans, and interviews with former residents. Records from Castle Williams reveal an evolving national penal system, while those from the hospital tell the story of worldwide contagion and local sanitation. Accounts of the lives of the island's female residents offer insight into ethnic assimilation and the changing roles of women in the military, and a compendium of military and civilian recreational life on the island illuminates the changing meanings of open space and recreation over time. Lavishly illustrated and filled with fascinating vignettes of the people and events of this unique landmark, Governors Island: The Jewel of New York Harbor will captivate enthusiasts of military and New York history alike.Binding Type: Hardcover

The additive makes the water nice and minty. Each pack flavors one tank full of water.
MySmile Water Flosser Mouthwash, Travel Size Concentrated Mouth Wash for Adults, 15x Concentrated Equals 200 FL oz, Alcohol Free for Bad Breath, Fresh Mint, (30 Uses, 0.06 fl oz)
First impressions: Nice individually portioned packages of concentrated additive for use in your water flosser. The liquid inside is to be added to a full tank of water. It makes the water nice and minty.
Installation/setup: Add to a full tank of water in your water flossing machine.
Final thoughts: The additive makes the water nice and minty. Each pack flavors one tank full of water. The instructions say to use the flosser twice a day and it is really a very pleasant taste. I like this and I’m glad I got it.
⭐️1 star - I don't recommend it at all, poor quality.
⭐️⭐️ 2 stars - I don't recommend it, it has multiple faults, or a very high price.
⭐️⭐️⭐️ 3 stars - It's passable, It has some faults but the quality is ok for what it is.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 4 stars - Product quite acceptable, it does what it promises.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5 stars - Product that I totally recommend.

For water flossers but can be used otherwise!
I misunderstood the product description and thought these were concentrated mini-mouthwash packets. They are actually an additive intended to pop into a water flosser, like using mint flavored floss instead of plain. I pitched my water flosser long ago but gave these a try as a concentrated regular mouthwash. I like it! The box contains a really cute fish-shaped packet. You snap off the end, or "tail" section, and be careful not to let it splash. Mix with a little water and you have a mouthwash. For travel, this is really convenient. I take a mini-mouthwash but am always worried about it leaking or TSA giving me grief. This would be a good option to have on hand. It's not particularly strong or a heavy alcohol based one like Listerine, but it did leave my breath feeling very fresh.

A Fluoride‑Free Toothpaste the Whole Family Honestly Loves
Size: 4 Ounce (Pack of 3), Set name: E. Orange Cream, Watermelon Mint, Strawberry Mango
We’ve been using Boka Fluoride Free Toothpaste with Nano‑Hydroxyapatite for a while now, and it has easily become a staple in our household. Finding a toothpaste that is both clean and effective and something my daughter actually enjoys using has always been a challenge, but this one truly checks every box.
First, the flavors deserve special mention. We’ve tried Orange Cream and Watermelon Mint, and my daughter absolutely loves both. There’s no struggle at brushing time anymore, no complaints, no resistance. She actually looks forward to brushing her teeth, which as any parent knows, is a huge win. The flavors are fun but not overpowering, and they don’t have that harsh or medicinal taste found in many toothpastes, especially “kid-friendly” ones.
From a parent’s perspective, what really sold us is the fact that Boka is fluoride‑free and made with clean ingredients. We love knowing that we’re not exposing her to unnecessary chemicals while still supporting good oral hygiene. The inclusion of nano‑hydroxyapatite gives us peace of mind as well, it feels like a modern, thoughtful alternative that aligns with what we want for our family. The toothpaste feels gentle, non‑gritty, and leaves mouths feeling smooth and clean without dryness or irritation.
The texture is another pleasant surprise. It’s creamy and smooth, easy to spread on the toothbrush, and doesn’t foam excessively. Both flavors leave a fresh, clean feeling afterward without any lingering bitterness. Even as adults, we genuinely enjoy using it, which says a lot, we often find ourselves reaching for it instead of our usual toothpaste.
Overall, Boka Toothpaste has made brushing easier, more enjoyable, and more reassuring for our family. My daughter loves every flavor we’ve tried, and we love knowing we’re using a product that’s clean and fluoride‑free without compromising quality. If you’re looking for a toothpaste that works for both kids and adults and one that finally ends brushing battles,, I can’t recommend this one enough.

Toddler Approved!
Size: 4 Ounce (Pack of 1), Set name: A. Strawberry Mango
I never thought I’d describe toothpaste as “fun,” but here we are... I bought this Boka strawberry mango flavor for my toddler — I figured he would enjoy this over a mint flavor because what kid enjoys a harsh, burning feeling? It smells fruity and tastes like a smoothie. We are still practicing brushing but this toothpaste helps encourage the importance of daily teeth maintenance. Also, I love that it’s fluoride-free and I am not worried if it's swallowed. It is pricier than I would prefer, but it has lasted so long that I've came to terms that it's worth the cost.

Made in America nano-hydroxyapatite Toothpaste that's Well Worth Buying.
Size: 4 Ounce (Pack of 3), Set name: E. Orange Cream, Watermelon Mint, Strawberry Mango
This review is pretty much the same as the one I wrote for the Boka Coco Ginger.
Boka Toothpaste is just that good.
I've been using the Japanese brand Apagard Premio toothpaste for a couple of years now and recently I noticed this Boka toothpaste while looking for alternatives that wold be less costly. I've been using this toothpaste since the end of May, 2025. I wish they would sell it in larger tubes.
Boka Toothpaste is very mild and makes brushing your teeth better. It doesn't have that harsh mint flavor which with most toothpastes feels like it's burning your mouth. It comes in multiple flavors and when you're done brushing your teeth, there is no need to rinse your mouth as it is a safe toothpaste to use.
After having used it for a few days, I decided that I will keep using the Boka brand from now on.
I just wish that most stores would carry this toothpaste instead pf selling all those major brands which are full of fluoride.
Did a bit of research and found that Boka Toothpaste has the same percentage of nano-hydroxyapatite as Apagard Premio which is 10%. So that means that Boka Toothpaste is just as good if not better.
No Fluoride
No Harsh burning Mint Flavor
Safe to shallow
Multiple flavors
10% nano-hydroxyapatite
Keeps your teeth Strong
And one thing I've noticed is nano-hydroxyapatite makes your teeth less sensitive by rebuilding your tooth enamel
I ordered four flavors, Watermelon Mint, Strawberry Mango, Orange Cream and Coco Ginger.
So far, I've tried the Coco Ginger and I was surprised at how mild it was and it didn't have the sharp taste that ginger usually has. It is good and I enjoy it. I also tried the Orange Cream which was good. I'm looking forward to trying the other flavors. The Orange Cream I'm sure my wife will like if I can get her to try it. But she can be very stubborn at times.
I see there are some other flavors which I intend to try such as the Cinnamint, Cucumber Dill, Lemon Lavender and Strawberry Basil. Not sure if I should try the Ela Mint as I don't know how strong or mild the mint will be.
I'm sure that if places such as Walmart brick & mortar stores sold this toothpaste, that it would sell really well.
