Animal Tails and Amazing Facts about Shark Kids Books



Animal Tails
   This was a cute book.  I did have some issues in the beginning (I will get to those issues at the END of the blog.  I'm going straight for the review.)  This is a kids book all about animal's tails. And, how specific animals use their tales for various purposes.  The pictures are of real animals (no cartoons in these books!) and, the writing of how the animal uses their tail is short, sweet and to the point.  Your child won't loose interest in this book!

Amazing Facts about Sharks

    This was the second book that came with the first book Animal Tails.  This was also a very cute book.  My daughter LOVES animals.  And, they all fascinate her.  This book is also all real pictures of sharks (no cartoons in this book either!)  And, the writing about the picture is kept to a few sentences.  Another good book to keep your kids attention.

Final Review
    They were good books for children.  I did have one issue with the whole process of these books. When I applied for this promotion, the description clearly states the book was from Amazon and was to be shipped.   It stated shipped on my tasks and, I was expecting a book in the mail.  After a while, I e-mailed the company asking if this was an e-book and they replied with yes it's an ebook.  Other than that issue.. They are good informative books that unfortunately I will have to go find a printer to print off.




I received one or more of the products mentioned above for free using Tomoson.com. Regardless, I only recommend products or services I use personally and believe will be good for my readers.

Insta Natural!


Vitamin C Serum

      I received this product as a promotion to try via TOMOSON.  I didn't know what to expect when I got the Vitamin C Serum.  I was pleasantly surprised when the company Insta Natural e-mailed me and stated I could pick not 1 BUT 2 extra products to test out!  The shop a holic in me squeeled for joy.  I opted for these 2 products to try along with the Vitamin C Serum: Vitamin C Facial Toner and the Youth Express Eye Gel.  After ordering through Amazon.com- It only took about 2 days to receive these items.
     Now, for my review :)  
        This serum is by far the best I have tried.  You open it and, it smells like a big ol' glass of orange juice.  So, I was happy to put it on my face.  Who doesn't want to smell fruity?  After I was my face and get out of the shower, the serum is what I put on first.  Super easy to apply.  Directions are easy to follow. You really only need a small amount.  Don't waste it.. because I PROMISE you'll want to keep this product around as long as you possibly can!  The serum does not take long to dry at all.  Which is great, because I have a busy life.  Well! Everyone has busy lives!

Youth Express Eye Gel
       This is the second product I received from Insta Natural.  I use this product AFTER the Vitamin C Serum and, BEFORE the Vitamin C Facial Toner.  I'll explain why at the end of this review.  This is a great product also.  It does not have any fruity smells to it.  And, as the name suggests it has a gel like constancy and thick.  I use only a small about under my eyes and on my forehead.  And, a tiny bit around the neck area.  I rub mine in a little bit, because I use the Vitamin C Facial Toner after this step.  For being a gel, it does dry rather quickly!  I do notice that my eyes seem to look more awake than before I started using this product.  So far, I'm loving the Eye Gel!

Vitamin C Facial Toner
      This is another product I won't be able to live without (I apologize to my fiance all the time.  Testing new products for free makes you want to keep them all.  Forever!)  Like the Vitamin C Serum, the Vitamin C Facial Toner smells like a big ol' glass of orange juice.  It really smells delish.  For this product I spray a few spritzes on my face.  Then, I take a tissue and just wipe it across my whole face.  You can feel an immediate difference.  Your face feels firmer and tighter.  I have used this for a
about a week now, and I can visibly see some pores being reduced.  I'm happy with that.  Unfortunately, my pores could be craters.  So, I'll take what I can get.    I will be purchasing again, and again, and again.

Chapstick Hydration Lock Review

I received this gem last week to test out.  I was surprised.  When I think of chapstick.. I think of the normal style tiny stick.  I got this and was pleasantly surprised!

The package I received was a decent size.  It came with 10 coupons to give to people for .50 cents off one hydration lock stick.  And, one package of the hydration lock.

Its a duel ended stick.  One side is "renew"  the second side is "moisture".  There are no directions on how to use the product.  So, I used the renew end first.  It felt okay.  It wasn't my favorite. It slid on well.  But, it didn't feel very moisturizing.  A few hours later, I decided to try the moisture end.  It was amazing!  It felt really good on my dry lips (which will be great for winter because my lips seem to get dry and cracked in that season).  And, the feeling of moisture lasted quite a few hours.  It almost felt silky smooth to me.

Will I purchase this item?  I may.  It's $2.99 at your local store.  But, I don't see myself using the renew end.  So, it may not be worth it to me to buy a $2.99 stick of lip balm just to use one end.  But, the moisture portion did work really well!  So, who knows! 



This was a FREE product to try and review from Smiley

BakeitFun Baking Mat Review Review.

\
This is a great baking mat!  I was a little un easy about trying it.  Because, I have always had trouble not burning things.  Even though I PAM it up!  I was impressed when I un boxed the baking mat.  It was a great size, and it was very thick and durable.  

I was excited to try it because I am a baker.  I love to bake cookies and so does my 5 year old!  I first tried it with some Pillsbury cookie dough.  I didn't use PAM, for the fact I really wanted to see how the mat held up.  When, the cookies were done.. I took them out.  Let them cool.  And, to my amazement the cookies slid right off.  I was in shock!  I love cooking.  But, hate the mess of that crusty burnt stuff that the pan loves to keep on them.

This mat is now officially my go to mat.  If you haven't bought it yet.. BUY it.  It's so worth the money.
