My Experience

I love learning about essential oils. Because Pine Essential Oil can be used to sooth sore muscles it would be useful after exercise. I think this will help my husband. I'm still nursing my daughter so I won't be using it until I'm done, just to be safe. I also like that it can be used as a moth repellant by adding a few drops to a piece of wood and placing it in my closet. I love when natural oils can replace harmful chemicals!

Belephant Baby Wrap Review



About Belephant Baby Wrap
Lightweight, stretchy, & sturdy! Our perfect blend of 95% Cotton /5% Spandex makes the perfect baby wrap! This will keep your baby comfortable, tight, and safe! This wrap can be used as a carrier, breastfeeding cover, or blanket swaddle. Carry, cover, or swaddle your infant or toddler with this neutral grey color that will match any outfit for any occasion. Includes step by step instructions for a basic hold. Machine washable - washing instructions are included. These slings make excellent shower gifts & presents.



My Experience
Miss N is four months old. When I first used the wrap she was tired and fussy. After carrying her for about two minutes she calmed down. Ten minutes later she was asleep. The instructions are a series of pictures, which were a little difficult to follow. But, there are lots of videos on how to tie a wrap. Because the fabric is so long, it might drag on the ground and get dirty if you are trying to tie it outdoors. She felt very secure in the wrap. Thee layers of fabric were holding her close to me, the two that cross over and the third that fully wrapped around. I also like that it will help keep her warm during outdoor walks in the winter. However, she and I might get too warm in the summer. I love the grey color. It is neutral so it is appropriate for both a boy or a girl. Overall, she seemed to really be comfortable, which makes me happy.

Penny Royal Essential Oil Review

Uses: A fragrance for homemade detergent.

Therapeutic Properties: Antiseptic, antispasmodic, carminative, digestive, insect repellent, and stimulant.
13% of the profit from each purchase helps end human trafficking.

My Experience

I'm still learning about essential oils. I've read some conflicting information on this oil. I've read that this oil can help the fight against fleas. I've also seen that it is only used in detergents. I've also read that it can be very dangerous, especially when consumed. It does have a nice scent, but to be on the safe side I don't think I will use it.

Honey Bee Smooth Review



About Honey Bee Smooth
This body scrub is as natural as they come. It's free of harmful chemicals such as phthalates, PEGS and parabens, which are found in many other scrubs. It has no sulphates, silicones or mineral oil. You'll love this simple and effective formula, made from 100% natural honey, brown sugar, and vitamins. The honey and brown sugar cleanse away the dead skin cells on the surface, making way for a healthier, glowing layer of skin to shine through. You deserve to use the safest, most effective skin care products on the market - and that's exactly what you get with Honey Bee Smooth.

My Experience
I like body scrubs because of how they exfoliate and leave my skin feeling smooth. This scrub works but could use some improvements. I like that the ingredients are all natural: honey, brown sugar, and vitamins. However there isn't a label on the container so I had to look at the website to find the information. It would also be helpful to know what vitamins they are referring to. The brown sugar and honey separate and don't stay mixed well. I tried stirring it with my finger, but the clump of sugar was very hard. I recommend stirring it with a spoon before each use. I do like the way it smells. It rinses off easily, and my skin does feel nice.

Lemon Eucalyptus Essential Oil Review



About Lemon Eucalyptus Essential Oil
Aroma: Camphoraceous scent with sweet, citronella notes.
Use: It works great for insect repellents; shown in a study to be effective treating respiratory illnesses.
Therapeutic Properties: Antiseptic, bactericidal, deodorant, fungicidal, & insecticide. 
13% of the profit from each purchase helps end human trafficking.

My Experience
Essential oils are relatively new to me. I can definitely smell the similarity to citronella. I like that this oil can be used to repel mosquitos. Here in the northwest we get a lot of them after sunset in the summer. Last year, during soccer practice, my husband used a bug repellant that smelled awful. I'd make him shower immediately when he got home, and I'm sure it was filled with chemicals. I'm excited to use this to make our own repellant this year.

My Experience

I'm new to using essential oils. I like how each oil has many different uses. Citrus scents are one of my favorites. They boost my mood when I'm feeling grumpy or tired. Bergamot does this for me. This would smell great diffused or in DIY bath salts. I saw a recipe that mixed Bergamot, Lavender and Orange essential oils with Epsom salt.

Dot&Dot Foldable Duffle Bag Review


About Dot&Dot Foldable Duffle Bag
This lightweight bag can be folded into itself and either stored flat or packed into larger bags or luggage with wheels for convenient on-the-go storage. This 27.5x12x11 duffle set is just 11x12 inches when folded. It includes side pockets for extra storage and plenty of room for clothes and other personal belongings. Use it as a gym bag, laundry bag, and more--the options are endless! Its medium size is perfect when traveling for business or pleasure and you don't want to lug around heavy baggage to check excess items on the airlines. Use it for everything from garments to large toiletry items! The included removable and adjustable shoulder straps and dual handles make for versatile carrying options. And you won't find any cheap string or stitching here! The heavy-duty fabric and high quality production of this kit provide lasting durability. This expandable sack is perfect for carrying cheerleading, running, catchers, wrestling, or everyday workout equipment. Men, ladies, youth, and kids love how lightweight and convenient it is!


My Experience
This is a great bag. I love how it can be folded into a small size for easy storage or transportation. It is only about an inch thick when it is compressed. It would make an excellent bag to take on a trip and be able to bring back extra souvenirs. Right now we are using it to hold my six year old sons tae kwon do gear. It is able to hold his chest guard, shin guards, foot protection, gloves and helmet. His escrima sticks stick out the zipper but that is ok. The extra zipper section is great for storing his gi or a change of clothes. The additional outer pockets can hold small items that would be easily lost in the large section, like his mouth guard. The stitching is very strong and will stand up to daily use. The fabric is flexible yet sturdy. One addition I'd like would be a small interior zippered pouch for money or other valuables. Overall this bag meets our needs, and when my son outgrows it, we will probably have many other uses for us in the future.

Valentia Exfoliating Scrub Review



About Exfoliating Scrub for Men by Valentia
Exfoliating isn't just for women anymore; it removes dead skin and brings pesky ingrown hairs to the surface, allowing for a cleaner closer shave with fewer nicks and cuts. Can we say...smooth to the touch! Large, open pores are the perfect vehicles for toxins to enter the skin and take away the skin's natural shine, elasticity and moisture. Our deep cleanse brings these toxins out of hiding and buffers them away along with dead skin so the result is a clean and smooth look. The first step to smooth clear skin, is a deep cleanse combined with a good scrub. Natural ingredients work together to provide a deep cleansing scrub that pushes dirt and oil to the surface for easy removal. Starting your shave with a crisp clean face ensures you avoid ingrown hairs and razor burn. Men don't often worry about skin feeling fresh, but this exfoliating scrub restores skin to a healthier version with smaller pores, an even skin tone and a skin texture that feels rejuvenated and refreshed. Natural oils like safflower, coconut and almond oil work together in a unique combination that promises to get rid of excess dirt and oil that threatens the integrity of the skin. Your skin gets essential fatty acids that unclog pores and prevent acne, while moisturizing and soothing dry irritated skin.

My Husbands Experience
My routine is usually just some soap on my face in the shower, and I only use soap a few times a week otherwise my skin feels really dry! I really liked the way this felt when I applied it to my skin. I've used my wife's scrub a few times and noticed that the granulars in her exfoliate are really big (relatively speaking) and suspended in a gel. I have to scrub my face really hard to get it to work and reapply to my forehead, cheeks, nose and chin. The Valentia Exfoliating Scrub for Men was smooth, creamy and filled with tiny little exfoliants made of pumice stone, apricot shells and olive seeds. A little bit did my whole face and neck. The tiny grains really scrubbed my face and I felt like it was really getting dead skin and oils cleared away. The blackheads on my nose are all gone. The best part! It doesn't smell like candy! My wife's scrub smells like strawberries and watermelon. This scrub smells nice and is really subtle. It doesn't over power. I don't know if it's the coconut, safflower or almond oils in the scrub, but my face feels smooth and soft without any greasy or oily feel.

Ohuhu Electric Pencil Sharpener Review


About the Ohuhu Electric Pencil Sharpener

Automatic safety lock function function -the pencil sharpener stops operation once the shaving tray is removed. This makes it 100% kid safe. Automatic idling once the pencil tip has been shaved within 0.3-0.5mm/0.01"-0.02". The replaceable sharpener core design will greatly extending the service life [1 replacement core included]. Sharp durable SK5 steel blade & large easy-clean shavings tray with faster and stable cutting performance. Has multiple power sources so it can be powered by either USB (wire included) or 4 AA batteries (not included).

My Experience
When I first used this pencil sharpener on a colored pencil the lead broke and I had to take it apart to get it to work again. In the process I learned a lot. First, the tray is difficult to take out. I'm sure this is a great safety feature, but it can be a little frustrating. I would make sure to open it over a trash can, just in case it makes a mess. The blade is easy to remove. The extra blade will surely extend the usefulness of the sharpener. I'd like if it included information as to where I could buy additional blades. After I removed the blade I was able to get the lead unstuck. It was easy to put the blade back again. While I had it taken apart I decided to test the automatic safety lock feature. It worked perfectly, the blade didn't move at all. After I had it reassembled I tried it on a regular #2 pencil. It worked very well and idled when it was sharp, so it didn't over-sharpen. I tried it again with a colored pencil and it felt a little glitchy. I concluded that the wood and/or lead in the color pencils must be softer than a regular pencil. The foam feet work well so it doesn't scratch the surface it is on, but they didn't prevent it from slipping while in use. I do love the option of being able to plug it into a USB or used AA batteries. The AA batteries option makes it portable. After having it plugged into the USB for a while I got a message that it was causing a drain on my computer. So I'm going to be sure to unplug it when it's not in use. Overall, it's easy to use and has some great features, but could also use some improvements.

Genuine Australian Lambswool Duster Review



About Genuine Australian Lambswool Duster
Give your car the care and upkeep it deserves with the Genuine Australian Lambswool Car Interior Duster by Lush Ride. Regular interior cleaning helps preserve your car's looks and value, and gives you the most comfortable drive.
Genuine lambswool performs better than similar microfiber or cloth car dusters, which may only push around dust and scuff delicate surfaces, or spray on finishes that can leave behind an oily residue. The Genuine Australian Lambswool Car Interior Duster by Lush Ride generates a static charge that effortlessly and gently attracts and removes dust - it's simple, effective and delivers professional car interior detailing results with the wave of a hand!
16" length is optimized for easy, comfortable and convenient use in all size cars - it's big enough to get the job done, compact enough to fit snugly in your car door storage slots. To clean this genuine lambswool duster, simply shake it out or spin it to remove dust for good, or hand wash when necessary.
This outstanding duster is also versatile - use it anywhere around your home or office to make dust disappear quickly and easily. Keep shelves and books dust free, clean delicate collectibles and knick knacks, dust window sills and corners, video screens, and much more.

My Experience
This duster has gotten tons of use in our house and our car. Immediately after I took it out of the package my sons wanted to dust the entire house! They dusted the blinds, the plants, the tables, the floor and each other. The hardest part was getting them to take turns. And any item that gets my kids excited to help with housework gets a big A+ in my book! Later, my husband commented how well it worked when he was dusting out TV and entertainment center. I used it in our van to dust the dashboard and it took less than a minute to get all the dust. Afterwards I was able to just shake it outside to get it clean. The leather loop fell off the end and I couldn't find it (I'm guessing one of my boys thought it wan't necessary) so I replaced it with a piece of ribbon so I could hang it up. Overall, this does a remarkable job and I'll probably need to get another so my boys don't fight over it. And maybe another to keep in the van.

About “A” is for the Alchemist
Sisters and brothers. Cats and dogs. Science and sports. Rivals or allies? Author James Larson plunges into the madcap world of middle school with his new Winnie and Winslow Adventure series.
The first book, “A” is for the Alchemist, introduces readers to twelve-year-old Winslow, who wants to do well in the upcoming football championship, and his brilliant kid sister, Winnie, who is finishing her sure-to-win entry for the national science contest—a robot designed with unique artificial intelligence that enables it to sing any and every piece of music.
Unbeknownst to them, Winnie and Winslow’s brilliance and bravery are about to be tested by a mad scientist who will stop at nothing to master the art of turning base metal into gold. And he’s just discovered that Winnie’s robot holds the key to his formula.
Joined by Cavalcade, the family cat, and Amulet, a cowardly homeless dog who dreams of being part of the family, too, Winnie and Winslow must set aside their differences and pool their resources if they have any hope of stopping the villainous alchemist before he kills anyone.
A thrilling middle grade adventure that will keep you guessing—and laughing—from start to finish, you’ll be glad this is just the beginning.

Reviewed by Mr. O
I did like this book. It was very exciting and a little spooky, along with plenty of interesting characters. One of the things I liked about the book was that Winnie made a robot and she is just about my age, 10. I also like Winslow because he does sports just like me. It was exciting when the van, with Omega in it, turned every color in the rainbow and then disappeared. The writing is a little challenging for me, but as I read it is getting easier. I'm not quite done with the book, but I am looking forward to what will happen next.

Set of 12 Large Jumbo Plastic Dinosaurs Review



About Kids Imaginative Dinosaur Figures
Dinosaur toys are one of the top learning resources for your child! Kids love to explore the prehistoric animal planet. For boys and girls, and kids of all ages from 3 and above! We understand parents are always searching for interactive educational toys for their kids. Kids Imaginative dinosaur figures will keep your kids interested for hours.

My Experience
Mr. R loves dinosaurs! He sets them up in scenes or creates a dinosaur battle with his brother. These dinosaurs are sturdy. The hold up well to rough play indoors and outdoors. The size is just right. They are large enough to have detail and small enough so he can play with them on car rides. Some of the dinosaurs had a noticeable seam in the plastic. This didn't seem to bother Mr. R. He will get hours of enjoyment playing with them. I would have also liked if the set came with a little more information on each dinosaur. Even a list of names so we could identify and research them more on our own. Overall, I like that he is having fun learning and using his imagination.

Basics4Balance Probiotic Review



About Basics4Balance Probiotic
The formulation of 2.5 Billion CFU per capsule of L. acidophilus and B. bifidum have better clinically proven results than formulations with multiple strains.

Best taken with meals for digestive purposes, though 2-3 capsules a day can be taken any time as convenient and still work effectively. Bottle contains a 30 Day Supply. Store in a cool, dry place. If taking recommended dosage, refrigeration is not required. Left on shelf longer term, refrigeration is recommended for preservation. Stay committed to your health - there is no quick fix. It took years to develop imbalance. It takes time to restore it. Keep taking our probiotics and over time you will experience the difference. Basics4Balance is a health company focused on providing our customers with the best in probiotic research and inspiring them to make digestive health a top priority. Ingredients are 100% Natural. Vegan, Non GMO, No Soy, No Nuts, No Gluten, No Preservatives, No Chemicals, No Artificial Flavor or Color. Made in USA.

My experience
I have taken probiotics in the past, usually focused on restoring balance after taking antibiotics. I like this probiotic because it delivers more CFU per capsule than most other probiotics. It also has a lot of research to back it up which adds to my confidence. My digestive system does feel better after a couple weeks of taking B4B probiotics. I'm sure it will improve even more, because like they say - it took time to develop an unhealthy system it will take time to fix it. The most difficult part for me was remembering to take them three times a day. It will just take me a little longer to see the results I want.

Stuff4Tots Organic Cotton Bandana Bibs Review


About Stuff4Tots Bandana Bibs
Super absorbent fleece backing to keep your little dribbler dry all day. Stops drool and spit-ups from wetting and staining your little one's clothes. Soft premium organic cotton front for comfort and style. Cute & stylish designs to accessorize baby's outfit. No ugly, plasticky feeling that baby hates. Adjustable snaps to grow as baby grows. No scratchy velcro to irritate your baby's sensitive skin and stick to everything in your washer. Bring and fun colors to disguise food stains and dribble. Strong, durable and long-lasting. Machine washable.


Our Experience
Miss N is three months old. She hasn't started teething yet, but she does love to make spit bubbles and soak her clothes with drool. These bibs are great at soaking it up. Her clothes stay much dryer. The fleece back is protective and the cotton top absorbs quickly. I like the fun colors and patterns, some match her other cloths nicely. The snaps are so much better than other bibs with velcro. I know that her skin isn't getting scratched and they don't stick to her clothes or other items in the laundry. With the two sets of snaps that can be adjusted for the best fit and grow with her as needed. I'll also be able to use these when she starts eating food. These have even gotten softer with multiple washes. I found that they bunched up a little under her chin. I think it's because she is so chubby and doesn't have any neck. I look forward to using them for many more months.
