My kids aren’t role playing type children. So when I presented them with this they were not overly impressed. We tried to incorporate the dice tower with a different dice game, but in the end the kids ended up making up their own game. The set is impressive. The dice are pretty and appear to be well made. The paint or print on the dice will last a long time, that’s how well made I believe it to be. I’m certain if I looked deeper into the internet I could find things for the kids to do with them. -

The kids had such a fun time playing with Orbeez. The sensation station was very easy to assemble. It took us no time at all. I appreciated that the back of the box gave parents a QR code to YouTube to learn more about the product. After we used it I also spent some time on TickTock and Instagram looking for other ways to use the Orbeez. Please make sure that you wash your little ones hands with soap and water after using these. It leaves a scent on your hands that lingers for sometime.
I believe my daughter‘s first words were “they’re sooooo squishy”. She was right! She loved bouncing them individually. At first she was a little apprehensive to stick her hand in them entirely, but when she started rubbing them around there was no stopping her. Her giggle was music to my ears! My son on the other hand, decided that racing them for their bounce factor was fun and exciting. He’s a little bit older and was not entirely as impressed as my daughter was. He played with them for about 15 or 20 minutes before he got bored. Seeing that the Orbeez are a little, squishy, marble type pieces, I found that it was very easy for them to get lost. Highly recommend doing a full clean sweep of the area that you were using the Orbeez in. Our family cat found one a couple of days later, after I thought I got them all. Another brilliant thing was that the kit I received the Orbeez glowed in the dark. I hadn’t told my kids about that that. Once I did we decided to “supercharge” them. We left them in the bathroom with the light on for a few hours. My son even took a flashlight to them. We then put the station into the bathtub without water, turned off the light, and the kids took turns playing with them in the dark.
From an adult standpoint, I can’t tell you how therapeutic it was for me to be able to play with them. For a sensory toy it is absolutely amazing. I felt so much more relaxed and calm after I was done handling the Orbeez. It’s mesmerizing to watch all the colours as you move the Orbeez around. So much fun for all ages! Highly recommended.

I won’t use any other dish liquid but Dawn. I always buy the original (blue) but would buy any other scent if it was on sale. I love the scent. I love that the bubbles aren’t gone after the 5th item is washed. I can do a full load of dishes/pots/ pans, with 1 good squeeze! Highly recommended!! -
Sensible Portions Garden Veggie Straws Zesty Ranch

Crunchy, healthy, and comes available in a few flavours. In Canada there are 3 that I'm aware of. Zesty ranch, original, and lightly salted. I found the Zesty Ranch to be over salted, but had a great flavour. Not every grocer carry's them, but the ones that do are moderately priced. Ideal substitute for chips and great for kids! -

Ever since we went on a health food kick, I have replaced eat chips with eating these stringless sugar snap peas. On a whim I picked them up at Wal-Mart for just under $3. I've been addicted ever since. They are slightly sweet, and have a great crunch factor. I keep them refrigerated as I found them in the refrigerated section at Wal-Mart .Really high in Vitamin C and have no Sodium. Bonus!
I've also added them to salads and stir frys.

AVON Glimmersticks Eyeliner

I love that they are self sharpening. The only way to break it, is if you raise it too much. The stick lasts a long time and the colours are great. I find I can wear it all day without having to re-apply. The really great thing is the price. I can get 3 for $10... Instead of pay $10 for a name brand that I'm not all that happy with. Having sparkles and shimmer in them really give my eyes a greater effect. :) -

I'm not all that brand loyal when it comes to mascara. I recently found a Avon mascara that I really loved. But then I got the CoverGirl Full Lash Bloom as a sample and although I had to apply the mascara 3 time to get the desired effect I want it was amazing. It's light weight, doesn't flake, and take off it easy. The bristles don't hurt or tug on my eyelashes like others do. Even my baby eyelashes looked amazing! I got tons of compliments on my eyes as well which totally boosted my confidence level :) Give it a try. -

I'll be honest. I am not a 5 step, take care of my skin kinda person. I want a one shot deal when it comes to caring for my facial skin, I just don't have the time. I used to use the other guys... you know the ones that promise all you need is the scrub.. and then you read the fine print and it says "for best results follow up with our facial cream"... Enough!!! Then my Avon rep told me about Avon Elements refining scrub & mask. It's a 3-in-1 deal... it cleans, exfoliates, and refines your skin.. ALL IN ONE that's all! She gave me a sample to try and now it's all I'll use. It didn't dry my skin out, it didn't leave a smelly after smell, no tightness. it's amazing. I'm hooked!!! -
