Win An Alarm Clock of your Choice from Paper,Scissors,Rock Closed! review/giveaway

review/giveaway Closed!

Paper, Scissors, Rock is a great company that offers many different designs of alarm clocks, hanging clocks, magnets and greeting cards.  The products from PSR are really wonderful looking. These clocks are not ceramic which means they are unbreakable and very light. These clocks are so light you can hang them on a push pin and unlike ceramic clocks, will never crack or break.
I reviewed the baseball alarm clock, and it  has a darling little glove that acts as the second hand. It floats around the face of the clock. This clock is perfect to put on my grandson's table, near the bed. The alarm sounds loud enough to wake him.

Spa Sonic ® Skin Care System Face & Body Polisher Review

Review


The Spa Sonic Skin Care System is a great skin polisher. This cleaner is priced cheaper than most other known skin systems, Target carries this complete skin cleaner.  Spa Sonic works to deep cleanse the entire face and body. Spa Sonic Skin Care System Face & Body Polisher is an affordable, waterproof device that’s ideal for use in the shower, bath or sink.  It operates with 4 attachments (all included): a small brush for the face, a large brush for the body, pumice for rough areas, and a facial sponge for microdermabrasion and reduction of fine lines.  The Spa Sonic's dermal penetrating action promotes rapid absorption of skin care products and leaves skin toned and super smooth.

Spa Sonic brush heads were specially designed by dermatologists, to deep clean while being completely non-irritatingLeaving your face feeling soft and not red is very important when using a spa cleaner.  Some of the cleaners out there work well but can also leave the face really sore.  This Spa Sonic doesn't do that.
I had my grandaughter review this cleaner because she is 15 and going through the skin hormonal breakouts. She really loved how the face brush worked. She said it was soft and felt good to the skin.  The body brush also worked well for all over cleaning and she used the pumice on the rough areas of her heels. The pumice brush exfoliated the rough skin off the heels leaving them soft and smooth.
Another great feature to this spa cleaner is the fact that you don't need to recharge the batteries. Some other facts about the sonic cleaner include:
•Exfoliates, smoothes & softens skin
•Recommended by dermatologists•Can be used with favorite cleanser and moisturizers
•Tightens & reduces size of pores
•Supports the reduction of fine lines and dark spots
•Eliminates dirt, makeup and oil
•Safe & effective for all skin types
This Spa Sonic Skin Care System works really well and it sells for a low price of $65.00 at Target. 

*I was not monetarily compensated for this review.
*The opinions of this review are strictly my own.

Carlito the Caterpillar's Math House Games review/giveaway Closed!

review/giveaway Closed!

I received the Caterpillar's Math House Games the other day and was very excited to get to review this cute card game with my grandson Brice. Brice is nearly 8 years old and does really good in school , except for math.  This really cool math game from Carlito Caterpillar and Domenico Marcario, M.S is superb! Mr. Marcario is a retired high school math teacher and a very loving grandfather. He believes that games and play are the learning media for young children. Early childhood development professionals note that young children are most open to learning when they play. 
Math House Games has created activities and games for parents to play with their children. The material is presented in 3stages, with a total of 20steps and 2 games in each step covering quantity, numeration, and operations.

Jefferies Socks was established in Burlington, North Carolina in 1937 producing hosiery products for men and women. In 1962, Jefferies expanded their product line to include the children's market. Since that time their children's market share has grown considerably, to include department stores, children's clothing manufacturers and specialty chain stores.

I reviewed the set of socks from the Boys collection. They are the Rugby Stripe Triple Treat socks.   These socks are made from Cotton, Polyester, Spandex and are sold in sets of 3. and others. They carry big and bold colors that are in style. They also have tights, school and military uniforms.

Hearts For Hearts Girls Doll review/giveaway Closed!

review/giveaway

What if you could change the world just by buying a doll? You can, with Hearts For Hearts Girls™ dolls! Each doll is a girl that wants to make a difference in her life, community, and culture. When you buy a Hearts For Hearts Girls doll, a portion of the purchase price is donated to children’s causes in those countries.

When I was asked to review for Hearts For Hearts Girl Dolls I was really expecting just another doll for a little girl with some clothes like you see on toy store shelves everyday, but no these dolls are exceptional. These dolls are more than just a doll for your little girl to play with, they have a story, and a great story for any little girl to learn. 
I reviewed Nahji from India. She is a beautiful light brown skin colored with long brown hair. She has a tiny nose stud which is the cultural jewelry for India.  Nahji comes dressed in a tunic of bright fuschia-colored crinkle cotton, trimmed in white appliqué, and lavender leggings with deep hems of embossed gold print.

review/giveaway


Who doesn't love salsa?  We here in East Texas are salsa lovers!  It is a staple in any home around my area.  I love salsa and chips.  When I was allowed to review 4 of Mrs. Renfro's sauces and salsas I was delighted.  I reviewed the Mexican Salsa, Mild Salsa, Medium Salsa and the Nacho Cheese Sauce.  The Medium Salsa was my favorite.  Usually I like my salsa a little bit "warm" and most medium salsas are to hot but this kind was perfect.

Ginny Owens CD review/giveaway Closed!

"Get In I'm Driving"
review/giveaway  Closed!


Ginny Owens is not a new face in the music business.  A three-time Dove Award winner, including the Gospel Music Association’s 2000 New Artist of the Year recipient, and multiple ASCAP Award winner, Ginny Owens has sold nearly one million albums. Born and raised in Jackson, Miss., Owens was discovering melodies on the piano almost before she could complete a sentence. Songs began to emerge from her fingers as the vision began to leave her eyes and by the age of three. A degenerative eye condition left Owens completely blind. Despite her physical challenge, Owens pursued a music career. Songs provide a window into a world Owens can’t see and an outlet for her to express her thoughts and dreams. Owens’ unique musical style and inspirational lyrics continue to appeal to Christian and mainstream audiences alike.

Konsyl Fiber Supplement review/giveaway Closed!

review/giveaway
Fiber, a word we here so much about lately.  With fast foods taking over our lives and eating quick meals we sometimes don't eat like we should.  I know I don't because I am so busy. How do we know if we are actually getting the recommended daily fiber intake? The American Dietetic Association recommends getting between 25-38 grams of fiber each day.  Konsyl Psyllium Fiber Supplements, along with a healthy diet that includes plenty of fiber rich foods, will help you achieve your daily fiber goal.
Many of Konsyl Fiber products are sugar and gluten free and are all natural. The full Konsyl Fiber Supplement line is:
•Made with 100% pure psyllium, a soluble plant fiber
•Safe for celiac patients, diabetics and pregnant and nursing mothers
•Available in powder, capsule and single-serve packets

I prefer the capsule over a liquid when taking any kind of medicine so the Konsyl Psyllium Caps 100's

were my favorite.

For more than 25 years, the company has been a trusted source for educators and parents for quality, award-winning educational products.

I love that this company has products that I can work with my grandson at home to help him with his school work.  Sometimes it is hard for children to comprehend everything at school because there can be so many students in the room and also there my not be enough time in the school day for each subject.  So by buying the products that Learning Resources has we can practice at our own pace.
This is why I wanted to review the Word Whiz.  My grandson is in the 2nd grade and reading and his spelling words are getting tougher.  With the Word Whiz he can learn while it seems to be a game to him.

Natural Soaps from Organic Gold Label Virgin Coconut Oil review/giveaway Closed!

Review/Giveaway Closed!

Tropical Traditons has yet another great product - Natural Hand Soaps made from Coconut Oil.  There are very few soaps made from 100% coconut oil, and most soaps on the market today that are made from coconut oil are made from highly refined versions of these oils, and may contain chemical solvents that were used in the refining process. Tropical Traditions Virgin Coconut Oil is traditionally made from fresh organic coconuts, and independent laboratory tests show that it has a higher level of antioxidants than other coconut oils. While other coconut oil soaps may exist in the market place containing refined coconut oil, few if any will be made with high quality Organic Virgin Coconut Oil.
The scented varieties have organic essential oils added. These are packaged in a special foam pump dispenser that adds air to the soap, causing a rich lather of foam to come out.

Blue Orange Games review

  review

Blue Orange games are fun family games that you are sure to enjoy.  This company believes the simple pleasure that comes from sharing good times with friends and family around a great game to be very precious.
Blue Orange Games designs their games in California and France and manufacture in the Orient in well established, family run factories.
As a responsible company, they spend the time and investment it takes to make quality games, respecting standards (ASTM963 and EN71 - all of these games have passed or overcome the following tests: lead, heavy metals, mechanical hazards and flamability)
They also take the time and make the investment to protect the environment.
They are the first game company, and the only one at that stage, that developed directly a plan to replant the trees they use to make these products.
This dedication to quality, safety and the environment have earned Blue/Orange more than 50 industry awards in the past five years as well as the first ever given presitigious "Green Toy Company Award".

I received the most unusual object in the mail the other day - a red ball !  Yes, it came just like the balls you see in the store.  This unique gift is from a company called "Send A Ball".  I was so excited to get to review for them!
Send A Ball began when one friend sent a ball in the mail to her friend and she wrote on it congratulating the friend on a new baby.  These two friends, Melisa and Michele, got right on this new idea to start a company where anyone could send a ball for any reason.

Buddy and Boo Swaddling Blanket review/giveaway Closed!

review/giveaway Closed!

The newest advice that most new parents are being given is to swaddle up their new baby in a really soft cuddle blanket.  Swaddling seems to help keep the baby secure and in one place so they can sleep more soundly and longer.  I have seen several swaddle blankets around but what I like about Buddy and Boo's swaddlers are the soft, stretchy jersey material that they are made of. 
Buddy and Boo is a woman owned business based out of Seattle, WA.  All of their products are made here in the USA. The manufacturer is located in Los Angeles, and is a 3 generation family owned business.  All of their material is sourced through American owned businesses as well.
The classic colors of all the Buddy and Boo products stand up to wash after wash.  There is no shrinking or fading of their products.
I reviewed the Swaddler Blanket in Who Brown.  I love the soft feel of this swaddler and I know it will be so cozy feeling on the baby.
