<span style="font-size: x-small;">Vampires have went from the Horror to Romance section in the past few years. Vampires used to be something that gave people the Heebie Jeebies, and now they are posters on our bedroom wall. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px;">Bram Stoker’s, Dracula. Anne Rice’s, Lestat. Joss Whedon’s, Angel. Stephenie Meyer’s, Edward Cullen. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px;">I joined the vampire craze when I was fairly young, thanks to the quirky, fashion forward, Vampire Slayer we all know as Buffy. Buffy blurred the lines between Horror, Comedy, and Drama. I would almost say that she was the first of many strong female characters in pop culture. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px;">Around the same time that Buffy came into our lives, Blade appeared on the big screen. Half Human, Half Vampire. Many knew him from the Marvel comics, but people like myself became fans while watching him and Stephen Dorff battle each other on screen. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px;">Now, Vampires are around every corner we turn, figuratively speaking. The Winchester’s hunt them, The Salvatore’s are them. With and without souls. Vegetarian sparkling vampires, and vampires who are soulless, evil things. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px;">Where exactly did all of these myths start? Do they really exist? Or is these creatures, that we all hold so near and dear, made up by media for our viewing pleasure? I dug a little deeper just to satisfy my curiosity. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px;">There are many different tales of the “Origin of the Vampire”, but this seems to be the most common. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px;">Porphryia. Many of you have probably not heard of that word, but it is widely considered "The Vampire Disease". Porphryia is a very rare disease, which causes irregularities in the product of heme, which is an Iron-rich Pigment found in blood. People who suffer from the severe form of this disease suffer from sensitivity to sunlight, experience stomach aches, and suffer from severe confusion. Long Ago, one of the ways to treat Porphyria would possibly have been to drink blood, though that has not been proven. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;">Porphyria is hereditary, so it would be common for towns to be scared of these "Vampires" as it would be show up more often in certain areas as families intermarried. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px;">Though some people actually believe in Supernatural beings, do you? Do you wonder if your very own Elena Gilbert or Edward Cullen is out there? Or do you think that the myth of Vampires is just that? A Myth. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px;">I think that there are such things as vampires, but not your modern day bloodsuckers. I like to refer to the as Energy Vampires. Have you ever met a person who walks into a room and sucks the life right out of it? I have. Those are the vampires that I believe in. As far as the blood drinking, sparkling, bursting into dust kind of vampires? No way. I think Porphryia is the closest the world will ever see to vampires. What do you think?</span><br />Caitlin Stevenshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09483348098646496949noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5731369177630158799.post-58922788091053449542014-10-16T19:25:00.003-07:002014-10-16T19:25:48.107-07:00Review & Giveaway: Splash Cards<h5>

Gathering around a table and playing cards. It's one of my favorite past times that I enjoy with my family. But Now, with Splash cards from Winning Moves Games, we could lounge in the pool and play our favorite card games.</div>
I received two different types of Splash Cards to review, Splash Jack Royal and Splash Pals. I opened the Splash Pals first, and played around with them. I watch a disabled adult 3 days per week and we played around with these for a while, creating different people, matching colors and numbers. These Splash Pals definitely can be made into more than one game. Each Card has either a head, torso or legs on it, as well as a different colored background and a number. You can make different characters, sort by body part, or even play a matching game with numbers.<br />
<br />
Splash Jack Royal is exactly what the packaging looks like! Imagine all of your friends lounging around the pool playing a friendly game of go fish, or Poker, if you are into that kind of thing. I can safely sit next to the pool and hang out with friends and family playing cards without having to worry about someone splashing and getting the cards soaked.<br />
<br />
Now the best part about these cards... They can be disinfected. I think Splash Pals would be the perfect inclusion to a classroom or even a youngsters room, because if they get dirty, or after multiple uses, you can disinfect them! Bye Bye Germs!<br />
<br />
I really loved these two games from Winning Moves Games!<br />

I love that this is so little and not bulky at all. I think The simplistic design is what makes this so unique.<br />
<br />
One thing I never liked about scales (Except the number that they tell me, HAHA) is that I never had a place for them! This scale is probably half of the size and thickness of others that I have owned. I also love that it has rounded edges.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-zj4b3EEXhd4/VD9T6i4hlnI/AAAAAAAAFuw/hpp49oEfwO0/s1600/20141015_232257.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-zj4b3EEXhd4/VD9T6i4hlnI/AAAAAAAAFuw/hpp49oEfwO0/s1600/20141015_232257.jpg" height="320" width="180" /></a></div>
The bright display makes it very easy to see the numbers. I prefer the white numbers over the usual black numbers It makes the numbers pop out and they are much easier to read.<br />
<br />
This can be programmed for multiple users, which is another thing I really like.<br />
<br />
One of the things that sets this scale apart is that it also tells you your BMI, which, in my opinion is more important than your weight.<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span style="background-color: white;"><i><span style="font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 18px;">Two color selection: White and Pink</span><br style="font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 18px;" /><span style="font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 18px;">Auto identify up to 4 pre-set users, provides accurate body weight measurement and Body Mass Index (BMI) on 2.3" (59mm) diameter big round shiny LCD screen, with very nice blue backlight, easy reading in the dark.</span><br style="font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 18px;" /><span style="font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 18px;">11" x 9.6" x 0.9" small, sleek, lovely design with 0.2" (6mm) thickness more pure & higher tempered glass weighing platform.</span><br style="font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 18px;" /><span style="font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 18px;">Smart gravity point detect and auto-calibrate.

This scale is one that I will keep out in the open in my bathroom instead of having to hide it under the sink because of how big and bulky it is. I have the perfect place for it!<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<strong>Jack Templar and the Lord of the Werewolves</strong></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Fresh from confronting the Lord of the Vampires in the limestone catacombs beneath Paris, Jack Templar faces his toughest challenge yet as he searches for the next Jerusalem Stone, this one being held by the Lord of the Werewolves.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But the narrow escape from the vampire lair came at a great cost and Eva battles to survive the new vampire blood in her veins. The only chance to help Eva is to continue their quest and find the Jerusalem Stones. Reuniting the Stones will not only stop Ren Lucre’s coming war against mankind, but also transform Eva back into her human self.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

<strong>Excerpt</strong></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The stench hung heavy in the air. There was no other smell in the world quite like it. First came the stink of grease fires from the wall torches, the heavy black smoke that roiled through the air like a foul fog. Then a moldering, musty base layer came to the senses. It reeked of decay and seeping moisture that grew black mold on every surface. The mold clung on the rough-cut rocks lining the dungeon tunnels. It covered the thick iron bars holding the prisoners in place. It even grew on the tattered rags covering the miserable creatures in the cells and likely on their skin as well. That final smell overlay the symphony of stink.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The Creach prisoners.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Werewolves, harpies, blind mad-worms, blinderwursts, fangpiercers, even some demons held with the special pure iron chains required to keep them in place. Many of these creatures were pungent under the best circumstances, but locked in the deepest dungeon underground, sometimes for decades, they took on an odor so ripe, so awful, that visitors to the dungeon often had to hold their breath to enter. Even then, the smell would make their eyes sting and well with tears.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Immediately after leaving the dungeon, visitors were allowed a bath or a shower in the castle. As they washed the stench from their bodies, they would feel an overwhelming sense of thanks that they were not a prisoner wallowing in the horrifying conditions they’d just witnessed.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
No one, human or Creach, wanted to be a prisoner in the dungeons of Ren Lucre.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Far away, at the end of one of the long, twisting corridors, came the creak of a massive door opening. The prisoners stirred at the sound. Their reactions mirrored how long they had been in their cells.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The newer arrivals looked up with expectation, still hopeful their punishment was going to be short and that someone was coming to tell them their nightmare was over.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Those who had been there longer knew that hope was useless in this dark place. They simply cowered farther into whatever dark corner they could find in their cell, desperate not to be noticed by the Master.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Then there were those who had been there the longest. They simply looked up with mild interest, knowing that nothing they did made any difference. Their spirits were broken. Worse, they knew this to be the dark truth, and they simply didn’t care.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
One single prisoner reacted in none of these ways. He simply stood, and the rags that had once been his clothes hung on his bony frame. Unbroken by years of starvation and torture, he still squared his shoulders in the direction of the sound and raised his chin, his eyes glistening in the torchlight with defiance. What he saw would have brought a normal man to his knees, but this man was no more normal than the monster approaching.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Ren Lucre, the five hundred year old vampire, filled the hallway as he strode through it, his cloak billowing behind him as he rushed past the stinking cells. His pale, narrow face looked pinched and concerned. His blood-red lip pursed in a straight line, and his eyes glowered like embers in a fire that might at any time combust into new flame.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
He came to the thick set of bars that held the proud man, stopped, and stared him down.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
“Well, if it isn’t the Lord of the Creach,” the man said. Even though his voice was course and weak, he still managed an edge of bitter sarcasm. “You look like you’re having a bad day.” The man spat on the floor. “Good.”</div>

Road trips. One of the great ways to spends time and enjoy new experiences with your family. Many times though that great experience you were looking for turns into your worst nightmare. 45 minutes into the trip, the kids start whining in the background that they are bored, hungry etc... then you have to sort through the piles of diaper bags, purses, and blankets in the backseat to grab out the coloring book and crayons. Peace is restored. 10 minutes after that, your precious angels decide they are thirsty... <i>groan</i>.<br />
<br />
Many of you remember that I went on a short vacation this past summer, and I wish I would of had a product like <a href="http://www.highroadorganizers.com/High_Road_Kids_Large_Food_nFun_Seat_Organizer_p/kidsbso-blu.htm" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">High Road's Car Seat Organizer</a>, and I am not even a parent. Riding 5 hours straight in a car is enough to drive anyone bonkers. I was always having to stretch my arms to reach into the back seat and then dig around in bags looking for a snack, a book, a drink or anything else to keep my time occupied. I may be an adult, but on that long and boring trip through the Upper Peninsula of Michigan I would have gave my right arm for a coloring book and crayons.<br />
<br />
I think my favorite feature of the <a href="http://www.highroadorganizers.com/High_Road_Kids_Large_Food_nFun_Seat_Organizer_p/kidsbso-blu.htm" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">High Road Car Seat Organizer</a> is that the middle compartment is insulated! So essentially it can be used as a cooler. This is perfect for packing little snacks and drinks. The top can also be flipped around to keep smeller items like Crayons from rolling off the hard surface. With all of the pockets, there is room for everything you could possibly need for a road trip, or even those rides to soccer practice, or sitting through a sports event. You can just grab this out of the car, and immediately have everything you could want.<br />
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-f-oTW45lmzA/VDxzXE5zutI/AAAAAAAAFo0/muWMdj7okvg/s1600/20141001_124449.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-f-oTW45lmzA/VDxzXE5zutI/AAAAAAAAFo0/muWMdj7okvg/s1600/20141001_124449.jpg" height="320" width="180" /></a><br />
I can't wait for next summer when my husband and I road trip across the country. This Car Seat Organizer will definitely be in the car with us. This even came in handy when I took my nephews to a festival a few weeks ago. They loved using the top of this for extra space to set their food and drinks on the way home. I could not be happier with a product.<br />

I am always looking for new and innovative ways to get that soft smooth skin that everyone desires. I was given the opportunity to try a product that I have heard quite a bit about, and I was very excited!<br />
<br />
I was very perplexed when I received <a href="http://www.exfolimate.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Exfolimate,</a> I had never seen anything quite like it. <a href="http://www.exfolimate.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Exfolimate </a>came with two different sized items, a larger one for exfoliating larger areas on your body, and a smaller one to exfoliate your face.<br />
<br />
The directions state to use these tools after you have taken a shower when your skin is "wet and supple". When your skin is dry, this product does not have any effect.<br />
<br />
I tried this a few days ago, and was very pleased with how it worked on my feet and ankle region... It removed quite a bit of dead skin, but used on other places of my body, the effect wasn't as great. I think that if the metal piece on exfolimate was a little sharper, this product would have worked much better on other areas of my body.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Rjft522dOYc/VDxfycrI1xI/AAAAAAAAFnE/u6pDpJwGcZw/s1600/IMG_20141013_191716.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Rjft522dOYc/VDxfycrI1xI/AAAAAAAAFnE/u6pDpJwGcZw/s1600/IMG_20141013_191716.jpg" height="320" width="240" /></a></div>
<br />
I can say I was satisfied with how this worked on my feet, and because of that I will continue to use it. It was also very easy to clean, no scrubbing necessary. You just run the stainless steel edge under running water and wipe it off and it's clean!<br />

Each and every one of us knows the woes of getting horribly chapped lips. thought I tend not to get them very often because I am always wearing lip balm of some sort, I have always sworn by Carmex.<br />
<br />
I was given the opportunity to review <a href="http://mycarmex.com/lip-care/moisture-plus" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Carmex Moisture Plus</a>, and immediately thought how perfect these would be to include in stockings for the Holidays.<br />
<br />
I have tried these before, and I did love them, but I really fell in love with these ones because of the adorable designs! The Black and White one was my favorite. This stylish packaging lets everyone express themselves!<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
<br />
I also really love that<a href="http://mycarmex.com/lip-care/moisture-plus" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"> Carmex Moisture Plus</a> lip balm goes on completely smoothly, and makes my lips feel like silk, just after one use. This formula also contains SPF to help protect your lips from the sun rays.<br />
<br />
These are the perfect gift for everyone in their stockings this Holiday Season!<br />

I was able to review two more products from InstaNatural. I have reviewed their facial cleansing oil previously and fell in love with it. This time I was able to try the Vitamin C Toner and Eye Gel. I loved both of these products for both of their uses.<br />
<br />
The Vitamin C toner was fabulous. It smelled just like oranges. My husband even mentioned to me that my face smelled nice, which was an odd compliment, but a compliment just the same. I really loved how refreshed this made my skin feel, and the scent was definitely a plus. I hate putting things on my skin that smell like nothing but chemicals. I also love that this toner is in a spray form instead of having to apply it to a cotton pad and apply it to my face.<br />
<br />
InstaNatural Vitamin C Toner is infused with Vitamin C to help neutralize free radicals, and help in the anti-aging process.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-UR8LM_E9umE/VDdLXsSrcXI/AAAAAAAAFiw/PlOdu6xBUS4/s1600/20140924_152155.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-UR8LM_E9umE/VDdLXsSrcXI/AAAAAAAAFiw/PlOdu6xBUS4/s1600/20140924_152155.jpg" height="320" width="180" /></a><br />
<br />

<br />
The other product I was able to review was the Youth Express Eye Gel. I was also very impressed with this Eye Gel. It contains:<br />
<br />
- Hyaluronic Acid<br />
- Plant Stem Cells<br />
- Peptide Complex<br />
- Matrixyl 3000<br />
- Amino Acid Complex<br />
<br />
This goes on smoothly, without much of a scent, and is not sticky in the slightest. I loved that this was so moisturizing, and it made my eyes feel so refreshed. It had no harsh smell that hurt when I put it by my eyes. This promises to help with dark circles, wrinkles, puffiness and sagging skin. Though i don't deal with the majority of those problems yet, I can say I think it has helped my dark circles some for the short time I have been using it.<br />

Oral Hygeine is Important. I have said this many times. So I was really excited to be able to review a couple new products from Arm & Hammer. I think all of these products would make fantastic stocking stuffers!<br />
<br />
It's that time of the year when we all eat more and more sugary treats than the rest of the year. Candy, Pie, cookies, and other desserts, which means that you need to pay extra special attention to your teeth.<br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a><br /><br />
The makeup lover in me rejoiced when I opened the package to find a BareMinerals lipstick. This is the perfect shade to show off your pearly whites! and though I was very excited about the lipstick, my favorite product was the Spinbrush.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-wMBTE-tFGoY/VDawUGPnNNI/AAAAAAAAFg4/JWW_DjcxCBg/s1600/20141009_001107.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-wMBTE-tFGoY/VDawUGPnNNI/AAAAAAAAFg4/JWW_DjcxCBg/s1600/20141009_001107.jpg" height="320" width="180" /></a>I had been currently using a SonicCare toothbrush, which is fine, but the head was wearing out, which meant I was going to have to shell out a bunch more money to get replacements. Then I receive the spin brush. I was so surprised at how well this cleaned my teeth! It did as good of a job as my very expensive toothbrush, but cost nowhere near the price! The heads on this Spinbrush are also replaceable, and it takes batteries.<br />
<br />
On of the things I found to be the most interesting was the fact that the toothbrush lets you know when it is time to replace the head, as the bristles on the top will turn white. What a great way to remind yourself to change out your toothbrush regularly.<br />
<br />
When used together with the Truly Radiant toothpaste, your mouth will never feel cleaner. This toothpaste is whitening and Enamel Strengthening. It promises to give you a radiant smile in just five days. I don't know that I seen a ton of a difference in whitening, but I can say, my mouth feels great. My teeth feel clean, and I LOVE this toothpaste and SpinBrush!<br />
<br />
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-9i7ze4YqNTI/VDawU97z0WI/AAAAAAAAFhA/bffR4kvDhFo/s1600/20141009_001131.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-9i7ze4YqNTI/VDawU97z0WI/AAAAAAAAFhA/bffR4kvDhFo/s1600/20141009_001131.jpg" height="320" width="180" /></a>I will definitely keep buying Arm and Hammer Toothpaste. I feel confident knowing that it will help whiten my teeth, and that it makes my mouth feel absolutely clean and fresh!<br />
<br />
I think both of these great Arm & Hammer Products would be the perfect addition to any member of your family's stocking this Holiday Season. Plus, who doesn't love using a brand new toothbrush?<br />

This is probably one of my most favorite items I have ever reviewed. I can honestly say that this makes my life a lot easier, as I can fit everything I need right in one bag and be on my way.<br />
<br />
I will be the first person to admit, I am not the most organized person. My life is chaotic, and that reflects on my house, and most definitely my bag, but the <a href="http://www.portagiobags.com/Oversized-Travel-Work-and-Weekend-Tote-Bags-for-Women-s/1814.htm" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Portagio Together Tote</a> is amazing. It has tons of pockets, as well as a big middle section for larger items.<br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
<br />
As many of you know, I have two little twin nephews, who I love like my own kids (If I had kids). Their mom and I decided that it would be fun to take them to a festival a couple towns over. It turned out to be too cold and rainy for us to do much, but we were still there for about 2 hours. I have never been so thankful for a bag in my entire life. I was able to pack everything we needed or wanted into this bag with ease. Then I wore it will the shoulder strap so both of my hands could be free. <br />
<br />
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-_yZ4uELxXi8/VDGd3-Hb-YI/AAAAAAAAFac/70w8JMRiJyQ/s1600/20141001_125118.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-_yZ4uELxXi8/VDGd3-Hb-YI/AAAAAAAAFac/70w8JMRiJyQ/s1600/20141001_125118.jpg" height="320" width="180" /></a><br />
Probably my favorite overall feature about this bag, is that I can use it to haul around my blogging stuff if I am staying the night someplace. It has a padded pocket for my laptop, and even with a laptop in there it still has plenty of room for everything else I would need.<br />
<br />
I have also used this as an overnight bag! It is the perfect size for a change of clothes and a toiletry kit. It's got lots of pockets to keep track of my different chargers for my phone/laptop/tablet, as well as any little items like my toothbrush and toothpaste.<br />
<br />
There are so many uses for this bag, and I think that is why I love it so much! It's stylish, and I feel great carrying it around. I love the shoulder strap, as usually when I carry a bag, I tend to need both of my hands, and I hate having to hold a purse.<br />

<br />
I was so excited when my Memebox came in the mail! Memebox contains full size Asian beauty products, and I have to say, I was MORE than impressed!<br />
<br />
1) Pure Skin Hand Care Pack (Pink Package)<br />
These are a glove type item. They are plastic on the outside and have a fabric and gel on the inside. You put them on and then go upon your business from anywhere from 20 to 30 minutes. then you take them off and rinse your hands. I attempted to use these while typing, and though it worked, they were a little bulky, so I would reccomend doing something else in that time. these leave your hands extremely soft and moisturized!<br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a><br /><br />
2) SUR 3D Nail Art Kit<br />
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Su5icPfc0FI/VDYhQ2nv0vI/AAAAAAAAFgE/7oXXOuSX1XU/s1600/20141008_235843.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Su5icPfc0FI/VDYhQ2nv0vI/AAAAAAAAFgE/7oXXOuSX1XU/s1600/20141008_235843.jpg" height="320" width="180" /></a>This technically came with 3 items: a magnetic polish, a magnet, and a nail art pen. These were one of my favorite items in the box! Usually magnetic polishes are not my favorite, but this one worked extremely well, and I really loved the Emerald color. The nail art pen, came in Blue. Usually many nail art pens are squeezable or felt tip, this one was neither. It has a plastic tip and you are able to create extremely detailed designs with it.<br />
<br />
3) PURE PLUS Hydrogel Moisturizing Nail Patch<br />
These are little patches that you palce over your nail and cuticle region. They contain collagen, milk, pearl powder, gold and parraffin. You leave these on for 20 minutes, and relax. Perfect if you are watching TV or relaxing in a bath. These give your nails and cuticles tons of moisture.<br />
<br />
4) with shan Dr. Care Set<br />
This "polish" is a nail strengthener. This will strengthen your nails from the root and help prevent future damage to your nails. I tried this and I really love it, as it can be used as a base cost. This also came with a file, to shape your nails.<br />
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-P5hxdvqQL7w/VDYhb8kekAI/AAAAAAAAFgU/9xab32-pcLA/s1600/20141008_235950.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-P5hxdvqQL7w/VDYhb8kekAI/AAAAAAAAFgU/9xab32-pcLA/s1600/20141008_235950.jpg" height="320" width="180" /></a><br />
5) BARBINIE Shea Butter Hand Cream<br />
This comes in three scents: White Lily, Rose Water and Violet Musk. I received the Violet Musk, and I really love the scent. It is not overpowering. I also love that this is a very thick hand cream, and it isn't greasy at all. It leaves a light scent, and not a thick residue. This is one of my favorite hand creams I have ever tried.<br />
<br />
6) Shara Shara Soft Hand Gommage<br />
This is a very different product than I have ever tried. You massage this into your hands and then rinse it off. This was my favorite product out of my Memebox. It made my hands so smooth, and it seemed like it removed dead skin and softened my calluses. My hands felt "brand new" after using this product.<br />
<br />
7) with Shan Baby Hand Set<br />
This came with a Treatment Oil and a Nail File. You soak the file into the oil, and then place a drop of oil onto your hands. You can file away hardened skin and cuticles. This product also leaves your fingers feeling pampered.<br />
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-1ySXHpsK7ws/VDYhcY2k2UI/AAAAAAAAFgY/9L6SdD0RZDM/s1600/20141008_235955.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-1ySXHpsK7ws/VDYhcY2k2UI/AAAAAAAAFgY/9L6SdD0RZDM/s1600/20141008_235955.jpg" height="320" width="180" /></a><br />
<br />
I loved my Memebox! This box came with everything I needed to pamper my hands and nails. I cannot even describe the amount of fun I had testing and reviewing these products. I loved all of them, and will continue to use them all!<br />

I have three larger dogs, and all of them are sloppy eaters. I decided this would best be suited for my Australian Shepherd, Neener. Not only will this stop her from spilling food all over the floor, but I absolutely love that it is raised. She is getting old, and this seems to be much easier for her to eat out of than her regular food and water bowls.<br />
<br />
I have never been more grateful for a product like this in my life than I was this past weekend. My nephews came over, and they are obsessed with trying to feed the animals, but always end up spilling the food everywhere! Sure enough, within minutes they were headed over and they spilled food.. but this time, instead of it going all over the floor, this caught the mess. They also managed to spill the water, which is usually quite a headache, because our den where the dog's food bowls are is carpeted. This time, instead of spilling all over the carpet, the mess all went down the holes into the bottom of the bowl for easy cleanup!<br />
<br />

We also have cats, who for some reason love to play in water, which means usually water gets spilled on a regular basis. Now, they prefer to drink and play in this bowl of water, instead of the others, so all of that water now flows right into the bottom on the container. All you have to do is lift off the top part, and go dump out the water that is in the bottom. This is much easier than trying to sop up water puddles all of the time.<br />
<br />
Another great feature of this product is that the water bowl is much deeper than the food bowl. Our dogs are fairly active. They all love to go outside and play ball, or tug of war, or just run around and be crazy happy dogs. When they come in, they of course need drinks of water, and this Extra capacity water bowl holds much more water than most other water dishes.<br />
<br />

If your dogs are having problems with this, you can put their normal food dish next to the this, until they get used to it. I did not need to do that.<br />
<br />
I am extremely satisfied with this product! It has saved me hours of time, not having to clean up messes.<br />

<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br />
</span> <span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I thought for sure that this soap was going to make my eyes water from being so smelly, after all, it is called sulfur soap. Even still, I was willing to take that chance after years of hearing how wonderful sulfur is for your skin. Dermatologists sometimes will recommend sulfur applied to your skin, to treat:</span></span><br />

I used this soap, and was happy to say it didn't smell like sulfur, which I was extremely grateful for. The smell kind of reminds me of a very mild antibacterial soap, so it wasn't great, but it wasn't bad either. </span></span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 26px;"><br />
</span></span></span> <span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 26px;">I think my favorite thing about this soap is that it was not drying. Though I love to feel that very clean feeling, I know when my skin gets super tight and dry after using harsh soaps, I will pay for it later with a massive over production of oil. With this soap, my skin did not do that. </span></span></span><br />

I am noticing a few less breakouts, and some of my oiliness is going away. I am actually very happy with this product and will continue to use it until the bar is gone. </span></span></span><br />

You are probably thinking, yeah right! I have started to notice lines forming around my eyes, and thinning of the skin around them also. I also am starting to notice lines on my forehead. I am going to be cursed with wrinkles, like many of my family members. I am willing to give any product a try, especially an eye cream. </span><br />
<br />
<div style="font-family: Tahoma; orphans: 2; text-align: -webkit-auto; widows: 2;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Tahoma; orphans: 2; text-align: -webkit-auto; widows: 2;">
I have tried Foxbrim products before, and I was satisfied, so I jumped on the chance to review on eye cream from them. Foxbrim's youthful radiance eye cream can also be used as an all over face moisturizer, so really you are getting two products for the price of one. It contains Vitamins C and E, as well as Aloe and Green Tea. It is also organic and Cruelty Free! </div>

That probably is one of my biggest pet peeves. I hate putting things on my face that leaves my skin feeling like I just put syrup on it. This applies easily, and goes on smoothly without leaving a sticky residue. When I first applied this, and seen it was a lotion type cream, I thought "Oh no, this is going to leave my face greasy." Surprisingly, it didn't. I put it on and patted it in around my eye region, and within minutes it was soaked in, leaving nothing but smooth, moisturized skin. </div>
<div style="font-family: Tahoma; orphans: 2; text-align: -webkit-auto; widows: 2;">

<div style="font-family: Tahoma; orphans: 2; text-align: -webkit-auto; widows: 2;">
I also love that this product can be worn under make-up, which is very important to me. Though I would let it sit on your skin for a few minutes to make sure it is completely absorbed before applying your foundation. </div>
<div style="font-family: Tahoma; orphans: 2; text-align: -webkit-auto; widows: 2;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Tahoma; orphans: 2; text-align: -webkit-auto; widows: 2;">
There really wasn't anything I didn't like about this eye cream! It hit all of my major needs/wants in a product: Non sticky or greasy, Cruelty Free, and Organic! Plus with all the added vitamins, I feel like I am really helping out my skin, instead of just slathering it with chemicals! </div>
<div style="font-family: Tahoma; orphans: 2; text-align: -webkit-auto; widows: 2;">

About the Book</h2>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<strong>Title: </strong>Roxy Rogers: Your Destiny is Calling<strong> | </strong> <strong>Author: </strong>Emily Siskin-Toy | <strong>Illustrator: </strong>Brian C. Krümm | <strong>Publication Date: </strong>August 24, 2014<strong> | Publisher: </strong>Three-Bug Books <strong>| Pages:</strong>32<strong> | Recommended Ages: </strong>6 to 9</div>
<strong>Summary: </strong><br />
<br />
What happens when a young girl with a Hall of Fame baseball pedigree breaks the family mold and follows her dream to become a soul singer? "Roxy Rogers: Your Destiny Is Calling", a picture book for ages 6 - 9, lets children see that their families will love them just the same when they pursue their true passions in life.<br />
<br />
Everybody in Roxy's family--from her great-grandpa (played with Lou Gehrig), to her grandpa (played with Jackie Robinson), to her mother (super-star college softball player), to her father (was a Los Angeles Dodger), to her sister (won a Gold Medal for Team USA Softball, and so on)--famously played ball, and Roxy is next in line. The only problem is that Roxy dreams of singing soul music like her idol, Aretha Franklin!<br />
<br />
A historical addendum provides information about the Hall of Fame baseball players who turn up in the book, as well as Aretha Franklin, the Queen of Soul music. Additionally, a fun treasure hunt for clues about Roxy's true destiny runs throughout the book, giving readers an enhanced, interactive experience.<br />

The Early Buzz</h2>
<div style="padding-left: 30px;">
"I just LOVED this little book. Empowering for young girls, and at the same time powerful for young boys... The illustrations are perfect for this book: fun and eye-grabbing, and I also love that it includes facts about popular icons like Aretha Franklin and Baseball legends. Well done! " <em>~ 5 Star Review, Mariana L., Amazon</em></div>
<div style="padding-left: 30px;">
"Roxie Rogers is an inspiring read for all ages, truly. It speaks to that little voice inside all of us telling us "come out" to the real you. The artwork brings the story to life, and the text is great for read-along or for young readers on their own." ~ <em>5 Star Review, Laura, Amazon</em></div>
<div style="padding-left: 30px;">
"I just read Roxy Rogers to my 5-year old daughter and we both loved the book! The story was fun and engaging filled with dynamic illustrations. Besides the great life messages woven into the story, I really like how the story reads. It is really nice to experience a children’s book that is not mind numbing in its repetitiveness (you know the type) with words that flow easily off the pages. " <em>~ 5 Star Review, Wendigo, Amazon</em></div>

Santa Cruz banana slug alum, <strong>Emily Siskin-Toy</strong> launched her writing career with posts at various film and television magazines in Los Angeles. After a break in the action to raise her daughter, Emily and her college sweetheart founded WOW! Music Studios, a successful children’s music instruction school in Mill Valley, California.<br />
<br />
But just like the character in her book, Emily’s true passion was something entirely different; she always dreamed of writing children’s books. Inspiration was everywhere for <em>Roxy Rogers: Your Destiny Is Calling</em>. While coaching her daughter’s youth softball and basketball teams, Emily eventually came to realize that the world of sports was a passion of hers, not her daughter’s, who really wanted, of course, to be a singer. The plot of the story was right in front of her, and the surrounding details would be cultivated from her lifetime of love for the rich history of Major League Baseball and her daughter’s love of music.<br />

The Buzz</h2>
<div style="padding-left: 30px;">
"Who knew geography and learning about animals could be this much fun? Lobo Goes to the Galapagos is my new favorite children's book and is highly recommended. " <em>~ <a href="https://readersfavorite.com/book-review/35906" target="_blank">Jack Magnus, Readers' Favorite</a></em></div>
<div style="padding-left: 30px;">
"While Ms, Murphy's uniquely whimsical and vibrant illustrative style is perfectly suited for the wild, tropical feel of this colorful book, and easily captures young readers' attention, there is also a subtle, quiet beauty to the storyline's overarching themes of friendship, trust, perseverance, and goodwill. Lobo's tenacious and giving spirit are delightfully captured in this fifth installment of puppy-fueled fun. In fact, it's sincerely so easy to fall in love with "Lovable" Lobo that I'd happily follow this well-meaning, big-hearted, wolf pup to the very ends of the earth!" ~ <em>5 Star Review, Indie Author Girl, Amazon</em></div>
<div style="padding-left: 30px;">
"What an adorable story! I read this to my nephew and he couldn't stop giggling at the silliness of Roxy as well as Lobo's cute friends Bobby, Sunny, Coconut and Sandra. The author was very clever in portraying a tale of friendship, adventure and excitement that is sure to enthuse young minds around the world." <em>~ 5 Star Review, Gina D., Amazon</em></div>

I had never heard of Brownie Brittle until recently. I thought it would be like a peanut brittle, almost like a candy. It wasn't, which I am perfectly okay with because I'm not a huge fan of peanut brittle. Sheila G's Brownie Brittle is actually more like a cookie. Either way, whatever you want to categorize it under, it's delicious.<br />
<br />
Though I'm not usually a huge lover of crunchy non-gooey cookies, I cannot deny the fact that I love brownies. I opened the <a href="http://browniebrittle.com/products/toffee-crunch/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">toffee flavored first</a>, and much to my dismay, the bag disappeared. Ok, it didn't disappear... I ate it. All of it. In one day. It was that good. You get the flavor and chocolate goodness of a brownie, combined with the best part of the brownie... the crispy edges.<br />
<br />
I was also able to try three other flavors, as well as the toffee:<br />
- Mint Chocolate<br />
- Salted Caramel<br />
-Chocolate Chip<br />
<br />
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-FBlmNbmbtaQ/VCl6YgQqLEI/AAAAAAAAFVE/GnRqvB1vQXk/s1600/20140925_141833.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-FBlmNbmbtaQ/VCl6YgQqLEI/AAAAAAAAFVE/GnRqvB1vQXk/s1600/20140925_141833.jpg" height="320" width="180" /></a>Though, the toffee was definitely my favorite flavor, the Mint chocolate was a very close second. This definitely will satisfy your sweet tooth and craving for chocolate!<br />
<br />
I also think that these would be great in Stocking for Christmas time. I love getting snacks and candy in my stocking, and I definitely wouldn't be upset if Santa left me a bag of Brownie Brittle! This is perfect for adults and children, basically anyone who loves brownies!<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-ClW4ZvAB-hI/VCi9RJJC9SI/AAAAAAAAFT0/3lt85g2qfwY/s1600/20140924_153105.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-ClW4ZvAB-hI/VCi9RJJC9SI/AAAAAAAAFT0/3lt85g2qfwY/s1600/20140924_153105.jpg" height="320" width="180" /></span></a></div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> Many people have heard of Dollar Shave Club, I know I have, because my husband has been ordering from them for over a year. When he first heard of them on the radio, He came home and immediately placed an order. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Before, he was paying about 16 dollars a MONTH for razor refills. He wasn't even getting a spectacular shave with them... they were just normal regular old razors. He started out getting the <a href="https://www.dollarshaveclub.com/our-blades" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">2 Blade package</a>. This come with the actual Razor, and FIVE refills. Each month they sent five more refills... and here is the best part, it was ONLY 1 DOLLAR! After a few months, he decided to switch it up a little bit, and ordered "The Executive" which is a 6 blade razor that comes with 4 refills each month. This also has a detail blade, for those hard to reach areas, or really straight lines. He loved this! He has recently switched back to "The Humble Twin". </span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-TVGRPjd9wB8/VCi9OxFHRoI/AAAAAAAAFTs/4NDVzsvtIqI/s1600/20140924_153129.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-TVGRPjd9wB8/VCi9OxFHRoI/AAAAAAAAFTs/4NDVzsvtIqI/s1600/20140924_153129.jpg" height="180" width="320" /></span></a></div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> I love all the money he saves by getting his shaving need through <a href="http://www.dollarshaveclub.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Dollar Shave Club</a>! Though what I did not know about this company, is that they also offer 3 other products, as well as Razors:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">- <a href="https://www.dollarshaveclub.com/shave-butter" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Shave Butter</a></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">- <a href="https://www.dollarshaveclub.com/post-shave" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Post Shave</a></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">- <a href="https://www.dollarshaveclub.com/one-wipe-charlies" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">One Wipe Charlies</a></span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-8G8-sd5f7yQ/VCi9cS3EsKI/AAAAAAAAFT8/1Ia_MGs7v6Y/s1600/20140924_153141.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-8G8-sd5f7yQ/VCi9cS3EsKI/AAAAAAAAFT8/1Ia_MGs7v6Y/s1600/20140924_153141.jpg" height="320" width="180" /></span></a></div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">My husband was very excited about the Post Shave, and I understand why. Sometimes when he shaves, his face gets so red and irritated! This is a light weight moisturizer that leaves little to no scent. This makes your skin so smooth! I will admit... I have tried this on my legs after shaving, and I don't even feel bad about it. It was amazing. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">When I opened the package, the first thing I seen was the Shave Butter. I tried this first, and almost didn't give it to my husband to try! This is a wonderful, luxurious cream that you use in place of shaving cream. Oh man, this was BY FAR my favorite product. This makes shaving so much easier, as it actually stays in place until you shave it off. This also contains vitamins, Golden Barley, and Pacific Sea Algae. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The last product I received to review were the One Wipe Charlies. Everyone likes to feel fresh "down there", and these definitely do the job. They contain Aloe Vera and Chamomile, and have a very pleasant scent. The packaging says it all; You only need one! </span><br />
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-yDPlCIoNaNg/VCi-o4VMsMI/AAAAAAAAFUI/JUhRgP_ax0E/s1600/20140924_153150.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-yDPlCIoNaNg/VCi-o4VMsMI/AAAAAAAAFUI/JUhRgP_ax0E/s1600/20140924_153150.jpg" height="320" width="180" /></span></a><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> Though Dollar Shave Club is marketed specifically towards men, I have seen a couple ads saying to "ditch the pink", referring to the ladies razors. I am definitely all for it. All of these products are great, and I would definitely consider signing up for a monthly subscription! My husband loves all of these products as well! He says they make shaving more bearable. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-VFU5vXrHCDQ/VCi-qk65_vI/AAAAAAAAFUQ/QdHvkpAFnmM/s1600/20140924_153159.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-VFU5vXrHCDQ/VCi-qk65_vI/AAAAAAAAFUQ/QdHvkpAFnmM/s1600/20140924_153159.jpg" height="320" width="180" /></a><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This is a great subscription service, and one that will actually SAVE you money! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Great for Men AND Women!</span><br />

<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">This is a product that I was intrigued by. I knew it probably wasn't a very bright idea for me personally to test out this product, so I had my mom try this out. She loves vitamins and natural medicines so I knew this would be a great product for her to help me review. </span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br />
</span></span> <span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">The first thing that I noticed about this product is that the pills were rather large, which is pretty common for "cleanse" pills. These pills promise to:</span></span><br />

This did not give her any adverse side effects, which she was obviously glad about. </span></span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="line-height: 18px;"><br />
</span></span></span> <span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="line-height: 18px;">Though, You will probably have to take this product long term in order to see weight loss. The week or two that she has been taking it she has only lost about a pound or two. </span></span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="line-height: 18px;"><br />
</span></span></span> <span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="line-height: 18px;">She said that she would continue to take this product, because of the increase in energy. </span></span></span><br />

</span></span></span> <span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="line-height: 18px;">I also noticed that these pills don't have a "bad smell" like most vitamins and supplements. </span></span></span><br />

I was thrilled to be able to review Ageless Derma Mineral Foundation. I chose the shade "Barely There" because I am very fair skinned.<br />
<br />
I had never tried mineral pressed powder before, so I wasn't sure what to expect. I love the packaging on Ageless Derma products, and I love that the compact includes a mirror for those little touch ups. You also receive quite a generous amount, as the pan is quite large.<br />
<br />

I loved the way it applied to my skin, though usually I prefer a more full coverage. This would be great over liquid foundation to set it for all day coverage.<br />
<br />
One thing I didn't like, was the applicator that came with it. I usually have this problem with most applicators. I end up throwing them away. I think using the same pouf over and over again can become unsanitary, so I would rather use brushes. I also think you would get a much better application and finish using a face brush.<br />
<br />

This is very important to me, and when I can help it, I try not to buy products that are tested on Animals. This product also contains various vitamins and minerals to help out your skin!<br />
<br />
I think this is a great product! This would be great for people who want a medium coverage foundation, or who want to set a liquid foundation.<br />

<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-LE0ozOEkuFc/VCNrv0FOhbI/AAAAAAAAFI0/_ZNKq2a6RmY/s1600/20140924_152755.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-LE0ozOEkuFc/VCNrv0FOhbI/AAAAAAAAFI0/_ZNKq2a6RmY/s1600/20140924_152755.jpg" height="320" width="180" /></a>I was pretty excited to be reviewing this product, as I had been looking for an app that was similar to this. When you have younger children who like to "color" you tend to go through lots of coloring books and crayons. I thought this would be such a great item to keep them interested in using their imaginations.<br />
<br />
My original plan was to give this to my nephews. They love to color, and they LOVE using anything that has to do with Technology. The packaging made this sound pretty simple, just download the app and you are good to go.<br />
<br />
I did run into a problem here- I couldn't find the app when I searched for it on the Google Play Store. I had to go and type it into a google search and the link directed me to the app that I needed. It was not very complicated, but took more time than I would have liked.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-vz1kgZRdxTw/VCNry_tY_5I/AAAAAAAAFI8/QbQDJiOTdRc/s1600/20140924_152749.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-vz1kgZRdxTw/VCNry_tY_5I/AAAAAAAAFI8/QbQDJiOTdRc/s1600/20140924_152749.jpg" height="320" width="180" /></a>In the app, You can scan the QR code at the top of the coloring pages to begin coloring that page digitally. Or, you have the option to take a picture of a partially colored page and edit and finish coloring in the app. Then you can share your work!<br />
<br />
One thing I did notice when I was working with this app, is that it does "lag" a little bit, though it was not enough to deter me from the app. I still played around and finished coloring my picture. I'm a kid at heart, what can I say? I do not think younger children will be able to notice the lag that much.<br />
<br />
One of my favorite features of this app, is that when you are coloring, you can choose different mediums: crayons, markers, erasers, etc. And the colors, though not that many, give you enough choices to create little "masterpieces".<br />
<br />
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-NHVEMsvs07g/VCNrtyO_TrI/AAAAAAAAFIs/RAaj3DHv9vI/s1600/20140924_152759.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-NHVEMsvs07g/VCNrtyO_TrI/AAAAAAAAFIs/RAaj3DHv9vI/s1600/20140924_152759.jpg" height="320" width="180" /></a>I tried this app on to different devices: my smartphone- LG G2, and my tablet- Google Nextbook. This app was not compatible with the Nextbook, but we have other tablets to try this on also.<br />
<br />
<br />
All in all, I thought this was a pretty good product. It will definitely be something to keep the little ones busy in the car, or even at home. They can still use their imaginations while being on technology. The Crayon stylus that comes with it is perfect for little or big hands. It is very easy to hold.<br />
<br />
I can't wait for one of my nephews to come next week to try this out. I also think another child that I watch several times a week will also enjoy this product.<br />

My mother swears by this serum. Every single day she uses Hyaluronic Acid Serum, and Vitamin C Serum.<br />
<br />
I personally prefer the Hyaluronic acid serum over the Vitamin C Serum. The texture is much more like a gel, so I think it is easier to apply. I also love that it does not make my skin sticky at all, and leaves my skin smooth and soft.<br />
<br />
I put this on and let it dry before applying my makeup. My makeup then goes on much smoother.<br />
<br />
I definitely prefer this Serum over the other that I have reviewed. I prefer the packaging more. I think with the dropper I can get every little bit out of the container versus a pump bottle.<br />
