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.

Note: I received this product for free in exchange for my honest review.

Ultra Plumping Hydration Mask by Valentia


I have a wonderful product to tell you about. I really enjoyed trying it out. It is the 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
I am always trying to find something to help  me loose weight whether it's a weight loss shake or supplement. I need a product that will help curb my appetite.

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 love trying new skincare products. Which is why I was so excited to try this serum by Perfective Ceuticals.

 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.

Dental Hygiene Kit by Majestic Bombay


I received this dental kit to try out by Majestic Bombay. I have to say I really love the quality of this set. I was expecting some cheap flimsy tools but these are stainless steel and really sturdy.

I have to admit I don't really take care of my teeth as well as I should. I usually leave the deep cleaning to the dentist....the "professionals." Besides brushing, flossing and rinsing there is really not much else I do but then again I never really had the tools to do much else.



With this kit I can clean my teeth thoroughly. It comes with 1 Dental Pick, 1 Scaling instrument, 1 Dental Mouth Mirror. The dental pick and scaling instrument are both double sided. I had to do some research on these tools to understand how to use them. The scaling instrument is used to scrape plaque off the surface of your teeth. The pick is used in a similar way as dental floss, to remove plaque from between your teeth. 

The quality of these tools are fantastic. I will suggest cleaning them with soap and water and boiling them for about 10 minutes before use. I also suggest talking to your dentist before using these products to make sure they are right for you and the proper way to use them. If not used correctly they could damage your teeth. 

If you would like to learn more about this product or others by Majestic Bombay you can visit their website here. This product is also available for purchase on Amazon for $14.99.

Infernal Innovations Magnetic Car Air Vent Mount for Mobile Devices


I got to try this device out recently. It is a magnetic air vent mount for mobile devices. It can also be used a desk stand for your phone. It's a great concept because it allows you to use your phone hands free while driving.

The product seems to be made very well and the magnetic plates are very strong. It rotates 360 degrees. It has a rubberized head so that your phone doesn't slip or get scratched.





The only problem I have found with this product is that when I installed it onto my air vent it and stuck my phone on it, it was so heavy that the vent slid down and would not stay up.This was inconvenient because I was not able to position it well enough to where I could see the screen as easily. It was pointing down.

Maybe it's just the way my vents are made that they slide up and down so easily but this product just did not work for me. The product itself seems fine and made well. It comes with everything you need for easy installation but if you got vents that slide up and down easy then I don't think this product will work for you.

If you would like to learn more about this product or try it out for yourself you can find it on Amazon. It currently sells for $12.99.

100% Pure Organic Jojoba Oil by Leven Rose


Here is a great product for your skin and hair. It is 100% pure organic jojoba oil.

This is a natural beauty product that is healthy for the skin. It doesn't contain any harsh chemicals or perfumes. That's why for the past couple of years I have been more interested in organic products. My skin can be sensitive so I don't like to use anything that has a lot of fragrance in it. It tends to burn and irritate my skin.

This product is very gentle on the skin and does not have a smell. I like to use it on dry areas of my skin like my elbows and legs, especially after a shower. I also like putting a couple drops on the ends of my hair to helps cut down on frizz and split ends which I get quite frequently.





I really enjoy using this product. You can use it for many different things such as for your hair, makeup removal and on your skin. You can also use it for many DIY's. Pinterest has a lot of great ideas.

If you would like to learn more about this product or other's by Leven Rose check out their website here. You can purchase the product on Amazon. It currently sells for $13.27.

Paracord Braclet and Paracord Grenade


I was very eager to review this product....okay actually my husband was very eager for me to review this product. He is very into "survival" stuff.

I will say though that these two products are pretty neat. They would really come in handy if you were to be in a situation where you were stranded and would be out in the wilderness with no tools on hand.






The bracelet came equipped with a fire starter and sharp eye knife/striker. The grenade came with a carabiner, blade/striker, paracord, tin foil, fishing line, 2 fishing hooks, cotton, snap swivels, 2 lead weights, magnesium bar, 2 small floats.

They come with everything you would need in an emergency situation. What is great about them is that you can attach them on your person so that if something happens you won't lose them easily.

The only thing that I did not like about the product was how difficult it is to put back together. You can reuse the product but it would take forever to reassemble it. It's possible though but I wouldn't want to have to do it.

Overall though I would say that this product would be a necessity especially for those who hike, camp or spend time outdoors in the wilderness.

The company has a website but is currently under maintenance. You can find the website here.

They are also located on Amazon.

Pocket Disc


Pocket Disc's are a fun versatile toy for everyone! I got to review this little guy and although he don't look like much, he can be pretty entertaining.

These disc are 100% cotton and handmade in Guatemala. They make a great toy for the whole family even the dog.

They come in a variety of different designs you can choose from and different sizes. The smaller disc like the one I have is great for indoor use. The bigger ones are best for outdoor use. The disc's are made very well and are so versatile.

They make a great alternative to a Frisbee. Frisbee's can be hard and dangerous especially for kids. The pocket disc is made of soft material so you don't have to worry about any injury's.

I'm pretty satisfied with this product. It's a unique and fun toy for everyone.

Baby Comfy Nose Nasal Aspirator


This is a neat product. If you have ever dealt with a child that had a stuffy nose you know how hard it is to get all that gunk out. Those bulb syringes are not that effective. They only get out a little at a time and you have to keep doing it over and over. By that time your child has done had enough.

With this nasal aspirator you use the power of your own lungs to suck out all the gunk. You have to place a tissue inside the egg shaped part, this is what helps filter everything so that your not sucking snot down your lungs. It seems like kind of a gross process but it so very effective. I couldn't believe how much gunk I got out of my babies nose the first time I tried it.




It comes with two different nose tips; standard and newborn. It also comes with a mesh pouch that you can store the product in and helps keep all the pieces together when you place the product in the dishwasher for cleaning.

I'm really impressed with how effective this product is and easy to use. The only thing I worry about is how sanitary it is. For instance, when my baby is sick I feel like I'm sucking that sickness into my lungs. I'm not sure how safe that is or if that would make me sick? Not real sure on that one. You would have to do your own research or ask your doctor. But if your desperate and nothing else is working give this product a try because it is definitely effective.

Vitamin C Lotion by Foxbrim


The one thing I'm bad about is not using a moisturizer daily on my skin. With the cooler weather and wind it brings dry, itchy skin for me at least. I was pleased to try this lotion because it's made of natural ingredients and claim to do the following: 

 • Effectively lighten spots and discoloration.
• Reduce wrinkle formation and existing wrinkles.
• Prevent collagen breakdown.
• Refine and even skin texture.
• Reduce overall pore size.
• Promote skin cell turnover.








What I really like about this lotion is the quality ingredients that it contains. It contains the following:

 + Vitamin C - Increase collagen production and prevent wrinkle formation.
 + MSM - Aids in maintaining youthful, glowing and healthy skin.
 + Jojoba Oil - Exceptional for replicating skin's natural moisture and creating even tone.
 + Green Tea - Effectively inhibits the enzymes that break down collagen and elastin.

These are wonderful ingredients for the skin. You can use this lotion on your face or body. It works great on the face. I feared it might be too thick for my preference but it was not that bad at all. It absorbed quickly and left my skin feeling soft. It didn't feel oily at all for me.

I also like using this on my hands and legs. There really is not a whole lot of product in the bottle for all over use but it works if you need it.

It doesn't have much of a smell. The scent is a very light organic smell. Sometimes you get a lotion that has so much perfume in it that it's overpowering and burns your eyes but this one don't. It's very gentle.

If you would like to learn more about this product or others like it you can visit the company website here. If you would like to purchase this product, it is available on Amazon and is currently selling for $18.95.

100% Pure Lemon Essential Oil by La Lune Naturals


I absolutely love essential oils! They have so many uses it's unreal. I particularly like this lemon essential oil by La Lune Naturals.

It is a therapeutic grade, unfiltered and undiluted with no fillers, no alcohol or other additives. It is a great antiseptic and disinfectant. It can be used to freshen the air, for cleaning and removing gum or oil or grease spots. 

I personally use it for cleaning purposes. Lemon is such a wonderful uplifting smell. It smells clean so I use it in my kitchen and my bathrooms. 

What I did was fill a spray bottle half way full with vinegar and the rest with water and add about 10-20 drops of the lemon oil, depending on how big your spray bottle is, mine was 28 ounces.  


 

I give the bottle a good shake before each use to help the oil be more evenly distributed. It makes everything smell and look so clean. I even add a couple drops in my dish washing wand to help improve my dish soap. I buy cheap dish soap so I feel like when I add the lemon oil it gives it a boost and helps my dishes be more sparkly. I've also added a couple drops to my dish washer right before a cycle to help freshen things up in there. Works great! 

So many different ways to use lemon essential oil. I am so glad that I discovered them. Since they are all natural I feel that they are much more safer to use around the house. I have little ones so this makes me feel good. 

If you would like to learn more about this essential oil or purchase a bottle for yourself you can find it on Amazon. It currently sells for $13.89 for a 4 fluid ounce bottle. It doesn't seem like a lot but a few drops goes a long way!

Ultimate Smile Professional At-Home Teeth Whitening Kit


I love trying teeth whitening products. I'm always looking for ways to whiten my teeth. I drink a lot of teeth so my teeth always seem a bit dingy.

This teeth whitening kit comes with two mouth trays, and two syringes containing 10ml dental carbomide peroxide teeth whitening gel, and retainer case for the mouth trays. 

The instructions were printed on a sheet of paper that was in the package. They were not that specific. The mouth trays have to be placed in 100 degree water but it didn't say for how long. 

When I did it, I left mine in for about 15-20 seconds and the mouth tray shrunk up so small I could barely get it in my mouth and parts of it folded in on itself and got stuck. 

It was a bit tricky but I finally got it to work. I then squirted about 1 ML of gel in each tray and placed it in my mouth. As soon as the gel hit my teeth and gums I could feel it starting to bubble. To be honest, it burned quiet a bit when the gel touches your gums and kind of left them a bit irritated. 

As far as results, I left mine in for 15 minutes and I could definitely tell a difference. My teeth were at least one shade whiter. I forgot to take a before picture so I can't really show my results but it did work. This kit would be great to use if you need to quickly whiten your teeth for a special occasion or something. It's not something I would use very often because it is very irritating to the gums. 

If you are interested in learning more about this product or purchasing it for yourself you can find it on Amazon. It currently sells for $24.99.
