Vicks EasyFill Cool Mist Humidifier

I was so happy to get the Vicks easyfill cool mist humidifier to try out. This one comes with a filter for those with hard water so you don't have to stress about getting distilled water. They also have little cleaning packs! I love that I can go to most of my local stores and find the vicks pads and accessories. No worrying about placing orders when Im sick and just want to relax.

Theres two ways you can fill the tank. Carry the tank to the sink and fill OR you can carry a pitcher of water and pour into the tank. Thats my favorite way I find its less messy. You can control the mist level and theres no machine noise. There is some water noise from time to  time. You can use the menthol vicks pads when you're congested or the lavender pads for relaxing. I love the options! It has automatic shut off so you dont have to worry about it running when the tank runs out. You can angel the mist knob to point in the direction you need it to go.

Im very happy with this one and would recommend it to anyone looking for a new machine. You can find yours on Amazon Vicks Easyfill Cool Mist Humidifier

Annies Creamy Tomato & bunny pasta soup!

Hey guys!!!!


We got to try the Annie's Creamy tomato and bunny pasta soup in our Influesnter voxbox! I have to tell you about it because it was good! The texture was amazing. Not too think or too thin like some other brands we've tried. The bunnies are nice and firm but not undercooked. I was pretty impressed with the easy open box and pouring left no mess!!!

To get my kids to enjoy it I had to add some Annie's cheddar bunny crackers and cheese. When I did that they tried it and liked it. My kids aren't big tomato soup fans. I've tried tomato soup and grilled cheese sandwiches many times. I wasn't expecting my 6 year old to say "yummmmm" but he did! My 3 year old even at all the bunnies and didnt complain. The only thing I wish is that they added more bunny pasta.

If you'd like to try any of Annie's products or see where you find them check out their website. We love the bunny crackers and mac & cheese. Im happy we can add soup to our list of loves!


Thanks again influesnter and Annie's for letting us try this soup out. Even though we were sent this item to review these opinions are my own.

Incredible Hulk Costumes

My son has been obsessed with the avengers for the past few years. We've been through every character but this month he loves the Hulk. After watching the avengers movie for the millionth time he asked if we could look at costumes for Halloween. Yes I realize its July but he REALLY wanted to look for the perfect costume. After looking over a few costumes we decided on this one. This costume comes in adult and children sizes. Fun for all avenger fans no matter the age! My sons in a size small (4-6). The measurements are right on track and fits him like I expected. You can see its a little long in the arms and legs but still fits if you roll them up a little and tuck under not over. Im very happy that the size charts are pretty accurate. The costume includes the mask and muscle padded jumpsuit.

The mask is really detailed and made of a thick plastic. Im not worried about this one cracking with regular wear. There is eye spaces and they fit perfectly around my sons eyes. He had no trouble running around with this mask on. You can also see the two holes for he nose and there is a small section for the mouth. The mask is held on my an adjustable elastic bad. 

In the photo above you can see him running and having a blast in his hulk costume. He really wants to order more Avengers costumes and after seeing the detail in the mask and jumpsuit Im not opposed! The sewing around the muscles and the padding is done really nicely. The costume looks like its going to hold up over time. After hearing that Age of Ultron is coming out May 1, 2015 this costume is going to need to last. He is going to want to wear it to the theater that day!

The back of the costume is held together by three velcro buttons and is pretty basic. Very easy to get in and out of for potty breaks. Also very easy to clean! Just hand wash in cold water and line dry the jumpsuit. For the mask warm water and dish soap should do the trick. I like that the padding is only in the arms and chest area. Allows him to still fit in the car without hassle. Its not bulky so he's not messing with it and uncomfortable. All in all Im very impressed with this costume and happy we were able to add it to our collection.

Maybe someday By Colleen Hoover

I've been debating on whether or not I wanted to dive into doing book reviews. However this book is just one of those books I have to tell everyone about! So to start off my book reviews is Maybe Someday By Colleen Hoover!


Buy on kindle
Buy on Barnes and Noble


I first heard about Colleen when someone suggest I pick up Hopeless. Once I read it I was a HUGE Colleen fan. So naturally when Maybe Someday came out I didn't even blink. I ran out bought the book and really had no true idea what it was about. I knew there was music somehow in the book but really didn't GET it until I started reading.

                            Overview

At twenty-two years old, Sydney is enjoying a great life: She’s in college, working a steady job, in love with her wonderful boyfriend, Hunter, and rooming with her best friend, Tori. But everything changes when she discovers that Hunter is cheating on her—and she’s forced to decide what her next move should be.Soon, Sydney finds herself captivated by her mysterious and attractive neighbor, Ridge. She can't take her eyes off him or stop listening to the passionate way he plays his guitar every evening out on his balcony. And there’s something about Sydney that Ridge can’t ignore, either. They soon find themselves needing each other in more ways than one.

The story does deal with cheating and feelings for another person outside of the current relationship. Now Im not a big fan of triangle relationship stories but Colleen pulled this one together nicely. The music in this book OH MY HEAVEN! Being able to listen as Ridge and Sydney create the songs was the best reading experience I've had in a long time. If you listen to the songs before they just don't make sense but after you get it. 

Colleen makes you feel all kinds of emotions in her books. This one is no different. You really connect with Ridge and Sydney. You know they both have the best intentions but sometimes life gets in the way. I don't want to say too much about the book in fear of ruining it for you! 

My advice grab the book, grab the CD or purchase it on itunes and sit back and enjoy. The way Griffin and Colleen worked together to make this unique story come to life is just breath taking. You wont regret reading this one I promise you that much. 

    

Realistic Boys Costume: Police Officer

       This year my son decided to be a police officer. He was so excited when we found this adorable costume on costume discounters. This website has a lot of costumes for all ages so you're bound to find something. This costume comes with a whistle, badge for the shirt, hat and belt that holds handcuffs, cell phone & baton. My son is 4 so we bought the size small. The length is long and fits within the size chart guide. He can keeps this in the dress up bin for a few years. So whether your child is short like mine or on the taller side this costume will work out! He's 38 inches tall and I had to roll the sleeves and pants a bit but the costume looks great! Its big enough to add a layer under it but not so big its going to swallow him.

The back of the costume is pretty basic but they do have a cute pocket on the bottom portion. You cant really see the baton from the front but you can see if from the back. Sadly this picture its hard to really see it.

 The right side has an adorable patch and you can see the shoulder buttons at the top. This side holds the handcuffs, which come with little keys!

 The left side has the badge, patch and you can get a better look at the baton here. Its plastic so you dont have to worry about your kids using it and hurting the furniture or each other. I also want to mention the hat fits my sons head perfect. Still has room to grow but could go tighter if your child's head is a bit smaller.



My son is counting down the days to halloween and can't wait to put this on. I highly suggest this costume for anyone with little boys. Its going to be a great addition to our dress up bin and I cant wait to see the little stories they come up with when wearing this costume. Costume discounters has a lot of little boy costumes that Im excited to add to our wish list. They're well made, authentic and shipping is extremely fast. I got my package within 5 days of ordering which is impressive!

Olay Fresh Effects

Today Im talking about the olay fresh effects tinted moisturizer bb cream. Im an olay brand lover so I was pretty excited to see this in my voxbox.

The color I was sent was fair to light. The down side to this is they only have two shades. Fair to light and light to medium. I find the this shade does ok but feels like it may be too light for my face. Thats my biggest problem with tinted moisturizers its hard to find your perfect match.

This is a before and after. You can see it knocked out my redness but if you have pimples forget about it. You're going to need a good concealer and probably a good powder if you get oily. After I added concealer and powder I found the coverage to be better. Since its a tinted moisturizer you cant expect awesome coverage. Its very moisturizing but can feel a bit greasy if you add too much.


This product is supposed to be an all in one product. 

• Refreshes skin instantly
• Brightens for a radiant glow
• Evens tone with a splash of sheer color
• Hydrates for 24 hours
• Smoothes for softer feeling skin 
• Protects against UV damage with SPF 15 

After reading that olay hit the nail on the head. Its a sheer color meaning dont expect crazy coverage. Comparing this to a foundation isnt right because they're too different products. If all you need is a very light coverage to cover light redness I say go for it. All in all I will be wearing this on my breakout free days. Will be adding concealer to my under eye area and adding powder because I get oily in the summer. This is great for my in a hurry days and Im happy to add olay fresh effects bb cream to my makeup collection! 

You can purchase this item at the following places.

Sinfulshine Gel tech!

Nail polish and I have a love hate relationship. I love to paint my nails but hate how fast it comes off or chips on me. I have such a hard time finding brands that make it worth my while to even bother painting my nails.

I was pretty excited to see sinful Shine Gel tech nail polish in my sun voxbox. I've wanted to try sinfulshine but like I said I gave up on nail polish! The color I have above is yours truly. Pretty pink color that matches the bottle with two think coats. I skipped the top coat to see how long it would last. To my surprise it took three days before I noticed any chipping! The nail polish itself is a nice consistency. Not runny or thin but not super thick and streaky either. 

This nail polish is only available at walgreens and for a limited time! Im so bummed its not staying because this stuff really works! So you better believe Im heading to get a few bottles asap!

Got this from influenster in my voxbox. These are my honest opinions and Im not being paid for this review!

Goody Ouchless Ribbon Elastics

Ok ladies lets talk hair bands. If you're like me you hate the bands with the metal on them and wont go near a rubber band. I also have very thin hair and most bands cant hold my hair. It just slips right out and its frustrating! I really didnt have any hope for these bands. Though for sure it would fail like the many others I have tried. 

Im happy to say the ouchless elastics by goody's works great! It holds up my messy bun and ponytails like a champ! My hair is so thin its the circumference of a dime. So for this to work really says something. The bands seem to hold their elasticity too which is nice. Overtime bands seem to stretch out on me. 

These elastics come in a pack of 5 for 2.99! The black one is what Im currently wearing :) but they have a pink, purple, light grey and dark grey. Wish they would have included a white band or brown band instead of two grey ones.

LypSyl Intense Protection LypMoisturizer

I have to admit I have a chap stick addiction. Winter months you can always find two or three brands in my bag. I hate that cracked and dry feeling so Im constantly applying chap stick to keep my lips nice and soft. I personally like a chap stick thats in between the thick and thinner formulas. I was pretty happy when I tried this stuff on for the first time. This wasnt too greasy and thick but I didnt feel like it was so thin I had to reapply every few minutes either. This has been in my bag since I got it and I've grabbed this one over my favorite chap stick. For me to do that is very rare! I love the packaging on this. The little bee push up and its not hard to use. I hate those ones you have to twist up and then back down. The slide option makes its so much easier to use. The peppermint smell is nice too I love peppermint! I was worried I wouldn't be able to find this product in stores but I found it at walmart and walgreens! You can find other stores that carry this product on their website. I found it runs around 2.90 plus tax. I have seen this product before but never really thought to try it. Now that I have its on my list of favorites. I will be repurchasing this product. It runs about the same price as my other favorite chap sticks so its a no brainer! If you have dry lips give it a try :)

CleanWell Natural Hand Sanitizer Wipes

To be honest I really wasn't sure about this product and I wish we could have got a few more samples to really give it a good try. However with the one clean well wipe I did get to try I can say its nice. I'd love to see these sold in more stores because right now they're hard to get your hands on. That is the only complaint I have. You can find these at whole foods, amazon and diapers.com but I like avoid online shopping as much as possible. So for me I can't get my hands on these very easily unless I go online. The product itself is really nice. The smell isn't overwhelming and you can smell the citrus herb. It didn't burn my hands or my face when I tried it out. I was worried it would irritate my sensitive skin but not a single patch appeared. It was gentle enough to wipe away the oils from my face and didn't have that harsh smell most sanitizing wipes have. I didn't think it would make my hands soft but it actually works. The citrus scent lasted a few hours on my hands and the wipe itself is nice and soft too. Not rough or papery like others I've tried. I'd love to buy more of these for on the go. Having two boys its nice to have these little wipes to just grab and go. I just wish I could get them at my local Sam's club or other retail store.

SheaMoisture Baby Bar Soap

I've seen this product at my local target a few times. I've always by passed it because I didn't really know much about it. However thanks to influenster I was given the opportunity to try it out! This was in my naturals voxbox and let me tell you I was excited! My son and myself both have sensitive skin. Certain products will dry us out or cause little rashes. So I have to be very careful what I buy. After trying this on myself for a few days and seeing no problems I started testing it on my son. Neither one of us had a reaction to it! I love the smell for my boys. Its a very woody smell and I find that great on my them. For myself personally I like a more fruity scent. Im pretty happy with this product and plan to add it to my rotation. I suggest you cut the bars into manageable chunks because the bar is a bit awkward for small hands. Also I find you waste less when you us smaller pieces. The water isnt washing your product down the drain! I found that this soap leaves a brown color of soap residue on the tub so I had to place it in a soap dish but thats my only complaint. I love the Shea Moisture bar and want to try their other products. Parabens, Sulfates, Phthalates are three of my top ingredients I like to avoid and Im happy to say this soap has non of them. They dont test on animals and can be found at walgreens and target for around 4.99 a bar. All in all I put this one in my top ten soap choices.

Ninja Turtles Costume!

Its almost that time of year again! Halloween is on its way and my husband and I couldn't wait to find the perfect costume for our son. A few months ago we heard that Michael Bay was going to make a "new" ninja turtles movie. Now for us 80's kids we were pretty excited. It reminded us of those movies and we had to go buy all three! We started watching them with our son and as soon as he saw them he was hooked! So naturally we wanted to find a Ninja Turtles Costume that didn't look cheap. Costume super center has a ton of options for ninja turtle costumes for all ages. So moms, dads or even brothers you can all be ninja turtles! 

My son is in 2T/3T clothes so I ordered the 3T/4T costume. Its fits perfectly with a little room to add a layer underneath. I would highly recommend you go by the waist and hip measurements when shopping for these costumes. They seem to run true to size so you have to remember to add a few inches for sweaters and pants! I find the costume runs a bit long but with shoes you cant even tell. Thats perfect for taller toddlers! Buying a size up is best. He loves this costume and didn't want to take it off. Its easy to put on as well. So if you have to do a quick potty stop you wont have to remove a ton of layers. Its all attached with velcro! Yes moms that means easy and fast. Even though everything is attached with velcro it stays on. Some costumes I've seen have cheap velcro that comes off if you move a certain way. I had my son jump and run all around the yard to see how it held up. Im happy to say it did amazing and I got some pretty good action pictures. 

The mask fits his head and stays on with the elastic back. He can see out of it without any issues and it doesn't slip around so he's not constantly adjusting it. Who wants to mess with a costume when there's candy to get right! The shell is very light and doesn't weigh him down or run at his neck. This costume is made out of polyester and is pretty easy to clean. You do have to hand wash in cold water and line dry but that only takes a few minutes. Shipping was fast and the return policy is very customer friendly. 

So all and all this costume is a hit in our house! My family goes all out for halloween. I think he has the winning costume in the bag this year. Do you guy's go all out for halloween and have you even started looking for a costume yet? I know I can't wait to see his face when he gets all that candy and gets to hang out with his cousins. I'd also love to hear what you think about Teenage Mutant Ninja Aliens. Are you going to watch it or are you disappointed in the change? As for us Im sure we will give it a go but Im not sure its going to top the oldies!

The Many Uses of Ivory

  Ivory soap has always been in my life. Growing up you could always count on a bar sitting by the sink or in the shower at my grandma's house. Now Im a mom myself and use it for my face and to wash my make up brushes with. I have sensitive skin but this product has never dried out my face or body. No itchy rashes on my toddler who deals with sensitive skin too. After straying away from this product to try others Im happy to say we will be going back to our ivory bar soap! There is a slight scent with this soap but nothing overpowering. Not only can you us ivory in the shower or on your make up brushes but you can also make your own laundry soap! I haven't tried this one myself yet but its on my must try list! There's so many uses for this simple bar of soap and Im excited to do some searching and experimenting! Hands down we will be keeping this soap in our home. Plus the 99.44 % pure is a great thing too! Did you know it floats its that light! Also the cost is amazing you can get 10 bars for around 5.00! Thats almost double the amount of my other soap  bundles.

Quaker Soft Baked Oatmeal Cookies

         The quaker soft baked cookie is made from whole grain oats and contains only 6 grams of fat. Its a soft cookie but more on the harder or drier side. Its not super moist or chewy so if you don't like those super soft cookies this one is for you! The flavor is amazing. Not too much cinnamon like some I've tried and just enough raisins. My two year old loved it and this cookie satisfied my pregnancy craving. We will be looking into buying these cookies for work lunches. They come in a box of 6 for about 2.70. The great thing is its big enough to split with someone. So if you're a mom thats a bonus! I can't say I have any complaints about this cookie! Now I just need to find the best deal in my area and stock up. I love these for on the go or a snack. I really suggest you try this if you love oatmeal raisin cookies like we do! We buy them every time we go to the grocery store. Looks like we found a new brand!

Palmolive fresh sponge dish soap

I was lucky enough to be selected by Influenster to test out this amazing product. I was pretty skeptical at first. How in the world can a soap keep my sponge smelling clean? Plus I wasnt always a big fan of palmolive. In the past I found it left my dishes greasy. However I put my past experience aside and went for it. Im so happy to say I fell in love with this stuff! The ultra palmolive fresh sponge dish soap rocked my world. First of all the smell is so yummy. All I wanted to do was sniff the bottle and that alone made washing dishes more enjoyable. I was shocked at how fast it removed stuck on food from my pans. I'd usually have to let them sit overnight and soak. So the cleaning power of this product is wonderful! Now how long did my sponge last? Typically a sponge would last 3 days tops. With this product my sponge lasted 10 days. The sponge held the yummy fruity smell for several days before I noticed it started to stink. Final verdict I will be buying these products again! Check out my video to see this product in action!

Ovacue fertility Monitor

The ovacue fertility monitor has been on the market for over 20 years and has been clinically proven to be 98.3% accurate. It comes with a tongue sensor that tracks the levels of electrolytes in your saliva. A week before ovulation these level reach a high point. This is known as your queue peak. The optional vaginal sensor tracks the estrogen and progesterone your body produces.

Its very easy to use. You simply place the oral sensor on your tongue and wait for the number to pop up on the screen. Now you have to be sure to use the oral sensor as soon as you wake up. So before you eat or drink anything! The vaginal sensor should be used after you've been up and moving for a few hours.

I have a progesterone deficiency and I was worried this monitor wouldnt be able to track my ovulation. Now most of the time my ovacue monitor has been right on with my OPK's. However I always get a pink box when Im not ovulating. I consider this my queue that I will ovulate soon. I actually ovulate with a purple box and I wouldnt recommend you follow the colors but the numbers. Once you learn the number pattern for ovulation you begin to see when you are most fertile. Every cycle has been different for me. So dont expect every cycle to be the same. I highly recommend you use the vaginal sensor because I think without that I would miss my fertile window. The vaginal numbers are always spot on with ovulation. I also suggest you use the free ovagraph. You can not only track your numbers but OPKs, CM and more. For the price I think this monitor is good for family planning prevention and those having trouble conceiving. The cost is very high so its something I would look into and think about before purchasing. Don't be afraid to ask questions!

Miss Molly Designs!

I came across Miss Molly designs while searching wired jewelry on etsy. I was blown away by some of the pieces I saw. Everything Molly makes seems so peaceful. You can tell each piece is made with love. Not only does she have an etsy shop she also has a blog. I love her bead table Wednesday post. Every wednesday she will share a piece she created. Molly isn't just a jewelry artist she also is a mosaic and mixed media artist!

Some of my favorite pieces are the Happiness necklace, which also won the August art spark monthly spot on Love my art!

Her bangles are breath taking!

and I love the purple heart necklace!

After talking with Molly I was sent two items. The hide and seek bracelet and a pair of beautiful earrings! The earrings were a complete surprise. I knew I would be getting the bracelet to review and then giveaway on my youtube channel but had no idea I would get to keep something from Molly! You cant imagine how excited I was! 

The front of the hide and seek bracelet has three lamp work beads wrapped in a chocolate brown wire. To seal the ends of the wire Molly has added some beautiful cranberry beads. The hide and seek bracelet reminds me of nature. Its very earthy and I love that!

The back of the bracelet has some beautiful details. You can see the two lamp work beads wrapped in the brown wire and sealed with the cranberry bead. If you look closely you will also see two detailed pieces between the lamp beads. I love this bracelet and cant wait to send it to the lucky winner!

(please don't enter here! You must look for the giveaway video on my youtube channel)

  

The earrings are just as beautiful! Its a mix of blues, green and browns. They're very light weight and dont pull on my ears. I cant wait to wear these this fall! I love the earthy colors!

 Miss Molly designs are amazing and I highly recommend you check out her website. If your looking for unique pieces this is the way to go! I can tell from the pieces I received that these are high quality and wont fall apart anytime soon! Great gifts for the jewelry lover in your family!

10 Holiday Planning tips!

Now that its October I wanted to talk to you about my holiday tips. Thanksgiving and Christmas are by far my favorite holidays! Around the end of October I start making my gift list. I try and write down three gifts for each person. Then we start saving for the sales that come around November. I price shop and never purchase unless I know thats the best deal. Every year we visit family for both holidays. Im always in charge of the appetizers. With a large family I found prepping the night before saves on time and headaches. I always double the amount of people so I know we will have enough to feed everyone. During Thanksgiving we put up our tree and start to decorate for Christmas. My son loves helping hang the ornaments and picking out the Christmas cards to send to family. I always try and purchase our holiday cards in the beginning of November so Im sure to have enough time to get them to everyone. A good way to store your holiday decorations is in color coded bins. For Christmas we use red bins and for halloween orange bins. It makes basement trips so much easier. No digging or opening bins to find the right one. I also am sure to stack my bins in order so I can get to the halloween bin without having to move the christmas bins. Remember with toddlers wrapping one or two gifts will do. They get overwhelmed very quickly. If you have more then one child and dont want to put names on the gifts try color coding for each person. That will keep older kids from guessing whats inside! We love to use a certain ribbon or wrapping paper for each person. We always purchase wrapping paper after the holidays are over. That way I get enough wrapping paper but at a discount price!  I love baking cookies, watching Christmas movies and spending time with my family. The best thing about Christmas is the cards and you can find some amazing cards at http://www.storkie.com. We have so many traditions! Making salt dough ornaments, our yearly ornament purchase and card shopping. It just wouldn't be the holidays without cards!

Wholesale Costumes!

Wholesale costumes is an online halloween store. They sell everything from infant to plus size. The prices are great compaired to other sites I've seen. The costume I chose to review is the Jr. Astronaut suit. It comes in a size 2T-3T. This costume fits my two year old perfectly and still has enough room to add some layers underneath to keep him warm and is long enough that he can continue to play with this next year. The material is easy to clean and is 100% polyester. Just toss it in the wash on cold and dry on low.

My son fell after taking this photo and I thought for sure I would have to soak it to get the grass stains out. To my surprise its just wiped off with warm water and mild soap. The little hat comes with it and fits great. He has room to grow into that too. The patches and zippers seem to be on the costume very well. I don't see them coming off in the wash or from my toddler tugging on them. You can also purchase the astronaut helmet! My husband and I saw an astronaut costume at a local store in orange. They were asking two times more then what the wholesale costumes site was! Im very excited to show off my little astronaut this year! I will be back next year to purchase more costumes. Im very happy with this costume and the costumer service. The shipping was fast and everything got to me saftly. Im in love with this costume and the costumer service was amazing. For more adorable and affordable toddler costumes visit the wholesales toddler section!
You can also follow them on Facebook.
The selection is great no matter what you're looking for!

I was sent this costume to review. However Im not being paid to say any of this and these are my honest opinions!
