The Wind Leverager by Get Childish
I was so excited to review this kite. I have a 7 year old who loves to fly them.
This kite is not like most kites that you get at the store for kids. Most are made of a thin plastic that is so easy to tear. This one is made out of a durable nylon material and the frame is made of strong resin rod.
It comes with two bonus as well. A kite bag with handle and kite handle with strong line string.
This kite is just so beautiful. The colors are bright and vibrant! It's also a lot bigger than I expected which is great because with most small kites it get's so far and you can barely see it anymore. With this one the size and colors will keep it visible.
I love that this kite is made of durable material. Most kites tear up so easily. All it takes is one crash and it's ripped or torn. This kite will last a long time and stay strong with many uses.
I am so impressed with the quality of this kite. It's definitely worth the buy!
If you are interested in trying it out for yourself you can find it on Amazon. It currently sells for $27.97.
100% Pure Jojoba Oil by FOXBRIM
Here is a great moisturizing oil that is good for your skin and your hair. It is rich in essential fatty acids, antioxidants and key vitamins such as Vitamin E and Vitamin B Complex. It also has anti-fungal, anti-bacterial and anti-inflammatory properties.
You can use this oil for your body, hair or face. It can also be used as a makeup remover, pre-shave oil, carrier oil, lip treatment, and so much more.
I love products like this that have so many different uses. I especially like using it to put on rough dry areas on my skin such as my elbows. It really helps to soften it. I also use it on the ends of my hair to help tame frizz and split ends.
I really like how easily this product absorbs. It doesn't sit heavy on the skin. It also does not have a smell to it. It's very gentle and non-irritating.
So far I have had no problems while using it. Nothing but good things!
If you would like to learn more about this oil or purchase it for yourself you can find it on Amazon. It currently sells for $16.10.

Skin Detoxifying Clay Mask and Eternal Youth Scrub by Valentia
Skin Detoxifying Clay Mask
Description:
A natural kaolin clay and botanical based mask that gently removes excess, dirt and oil while deeply cleansing and exfoliating the skin to reveal softer, smoother skin.
What it does:
- Draw out skin impurities
- Improve skin tone
- Reduce pore size
- Firm & strengthen the skin
- Leave skin feeling smoother
Ingredients:
-Kaolin Clay
-Plant Stem Cells
-Spirulina
-CoQ10
-Hibiscus & Cranberry Fibers
My Thoughts:
I love using face masks. It feels really pampering after a long day and helps me to relax. What I really like about this product is that it does two things. First it acts as a regular clay mask which helps to draw out impurities and tighten pores but it also acts as a face scrub. After it's dried and your ready to wash off, you can buff it all over your skin and the natural hibiscus and cranberry fibers helps to exfoliate all the dead skin off leaving it that much more smoother. I have no negative things to say about this product. So far I have loved it and have not had any adverse reactions or anything like that.
Eternal Youth Exfoliating Scrub
Descriptions:
A refreshing scrub with green and white teas partnered with a trio of tropical butters. Green and white teas were specifically chosen for their anti-aging and anti-inflammatory properties. Tropical butters provide essential nourishment to the skin to keep it hydrated. The result is smoother, softer, brighter, and rejuvenated skin.
What it does:
- Brightens & revives skin
- Improves skin tone & texture
- Removes dead skin cells
- Softens the skin
- Prevents future breakouts
Ingredients:
-Green Tea & White Tea
-Aloe Vera
-Jojoba Beads
-Olive, Avocado and Kukui Butter
My Thoughts:
I love using face scrubs. I feel like my face really needs it sometimes because it get's so dull and bumpy. I need something that will help polish my skin. I really like the feel of this product. It feels really nice on the skin. It's gentle. It does not burn or irritate as some other scrubs can have the tendency to do. The only things that I wish is that this product had a bit more scrubbing power but then again maybe that's not good for the skin. I'm no expert. But I like for my face to feel extra smooth with no bumps.This product missed a few spots because the granules are so few and far between. However, my face did feel really good afterwards. It wasn't the smoothest but definitely a lot smoother than normal.
Overall:
I would have to say that I was very happy to try out these two lovely products by Valentia. I feel they are quality products and will help your skin to look it's best. There were a couple things I wish were a little bit better but overall I would give the clay mask a 5/5 and the scrub a 4/5. These are definitely worth trying out.

My Little Pony Rainbow Dash Friendship Bus by PLAYSKOOL
I recently received this product by PLAYSKOOL courtesy of Crowdtap. I received it for free for reviewing purposes.
This toy is perfect for toddlers. It is uniquely designed for little hands and features interactive attachments to keep your little one busy and entertained.
Product Details
Includes vehicle and 1 pony figure.
• Cruise around with Rainbow Dash in her bus made just for toddlers
• Pony figure is perfectly proportioned for little hands
• Open and close sign, spin roller, and push the button to make the door open
• Bus fits 2 other Playskool Friends My Little Pony figures (sold separately)
• Ages 18 months and up
• Other Playskool Friends My Little Pony figures sold separately. Subject to availability.
My Thoughts
I really liked the quality of this product. It didn't feel cheap which is a good thing because with toddlers you have to watch them because they will put anything in their mouths. You don't want a toy that is flimsy and that have parts that can easily break off.
This toy may seem more geared towards girls but my son loved it. He especially love pushing the bus around. He loves anything that has wheels and the little pony figures are made perfectly and fit easily into small hands.
I love that the bus also has other features like the door that can open and close by either your hand or you can push the little button and it will pop open. It also has a spin roller with pictures and the sign that opens and closes as well.
I thought this toy was great. It's cute and entertaining for the little ones. The only thing that I think would be an added bonus is if it made sounds and had lights.

Ultra Plumping Hydration Mask by Valentia
This product is formulated using natural ingredients that permeate profoundly, to moisturize on both a surface and cellular level and immediately rescue skin from dryness and dullness.
It also helps combat signs of aging. It contains a silk protein amino acid blend which increases the skins production of collagen. The botanical hyaluronic acid, vitamin E and CoQ10 further improve the skins elasticity.
This Vitamin Rich Hydration Mask:
- Boosts collagen production
- Increases skin radiance
- Reduces fine lines
- Locks in skins moisture
- Reveals softer smoother skin
Ingredients
- Silk Protein Amino Acid Blend
- Botanical Hyaluronic Acid
- Organic Sea Buckthorn Oil
- Japanese Green Tea
- Aloe Vera
I really enjoyed using this mask. I applied a thin layer all over my face and I immediately
felt a cool burning sensation which I did not expect. It was not a painful burning but more like a burn you feel when cold air hits your face. It was not unpleasant. I liked it. I left it on for the recommended 15-30 minutes and then rinsed it off using a damp wash cloth.
I could really tell the difference in the look and feel of my skin. My skin felt so hydrated and smooth. Also, the fine lines around my eyes were gone because the mask had plumped up my dehydrated skin.
I am definitely going to continue using this product. This mask is perfect for this time of year when wind and cold can really dry your skin out. My skin really needed a quality product like this. You could probably even apply it right before you soak in the tub for a more spa like experience. You can relax and let the mask work it's magic.
I am so happy I got to try this hydration mask. I am very pleased with the results that I got.
If you would like to learn more about this product or purchase it for yourself you can find it on Amazon. It currently sells for $23.99. It comes in a 4 fluid oz jar and it does not take much product to cover your entire face. Give it a try!

100% Natural Garcinia Cambogia, 180 Capsules
Source |
This product contains the following ingredients:
- Calcium Carbonate
- Potassium Chloride
- Chromium
Origin
Ayurvedic medicine traditionally utilized the sour fruit to activate digestion and stimulate the metabolism. The science lies in the fruit’s rind, which contains the active ingredient Hydroxycitric Acid, HCA, which is believed to boost fat burning and suppress appetite. HCA may also block a fat building enzyme called Citrate Lyase, and control insulin levels. Our supplements provide the optimum portion of natural HCA which, when accompanied with a wholesome diet and exercise, will lead you towards a healthy life and body.
Suggested Use
As a dietary supplement take two (2) capsules twice a day. For best results take 20-30 min before a meal with an 8oz. glass of water or as directed by your health care professional.
I tried this product and although I did not experience any crazy side effects I didn't really notice that much of a difference in my appetite. I was hoping that it would help curb my appetite so I didn't feel hungry all the time and always wanting to eat.
Many people swear by this product but I don't think it will work the same for everyone. Everyone's body is different.
I was hoping that this product would be some sort of cure all or miracle for me but it just wasn't.
If you would like to learn more about this product and see if it might work for you check it out here. It currently sells for $14.95.

Perfective Ceuticals Divine Age Guardian Serum with Growth Factor
source |
I'm no expert but I strive to get a more smooth and even skin tone as well as texture. I have combination skin and large pores. I struggle with blackheads but have very few breakouts.
The texture of my skin is what concerns me the most because when I apply makeup it clings to every bump and looks horrible.
Fine lines are also a huge concern for me. I have started to notice a few so I've been trying to find the perfect product to help combat and reduce them.
Product Description:
Divine Age Guardian Serum with Growth Factor is an intense wrinkle serum that features an unparalleled combination of Epidermal Growth Factor (EGF) and Amino Peptide. Each ingredient interacts synergistically, signaling cellular activity for renewed collagen, elastin and other skin proteins. In all, it reduces fine lines and wrinkles and imparts a more vibrant, youthful appearance. Incorporated with a cocktail of powerful anti-oxidants and the moisture binding Sodium Hyaluronate, it also restores radiance and suppleness and boosts the skin's immune function to shield against future aging. The result: Divine Age Guardian Serum with Growth Factor gives the skin instant gratification and lasting anti-aging results. Non-comedogenic. Fragrance-free. Scientifically proven.
My thoughts:
This product cost $128 on Amazon so I figured for that price this stuff must work like a miracle but I was a little disappointed to find that it didn't work any better than other serums that I have tried that cost between $10-20. I was hoping for smoother skin, faded lines and more youthful appearance but I honestly didn't get any noticeable results. I can so however that it did make my skin feel smoother while using it but it did nothing for my fine lines. Keep in mind that this is just from a couple weeks of use. I gave up after the two weeks. But perhaps it takes longer to see results?
Although this product was not work like a miracle I still think it would be worth a try. It has some awesome ingredients in it and if you have the patience to use it daily for a extended period of time you just might see the results you are hoping for.
