We were instantly mesmerized at her facial movements when she eats and talks. Wow! She is about as lifelike as a doll can get. The magic spoon and food works perfectly and her reaction to the different foods is so cute. You can even mix two different varieties together and she acknowledges them both by saying the names of the foods and her opinion of them! The 4 AA batteries were included in the doll for in-store demonstration and they suggest changing them for best performance. The spoon requires one AAA battery. The feeding tray has 5 different foods on each side. My Grand daughter just loves Maya and has been playing with her everyday since receiving her. Feeding her is the highlight of this doll, but you can also burp, tickle, bottle feed and rock her to sleep. She is amazing and I highly recommend. This doll would be a wonderful birthday or Christmas gift for any little girl or boy.
I received this doll in exchange for my honest review.

Hot Words, Word Guessing Party Game

We were excited to play this game because we love word games. You must have 2 teams of at least 2 or more players. It does not state this on the outside of the box, but you need at least 4 people to play. The theming is super cute and you can tell a lot of thought was put into the design. We found the game a bit confusing to understand the levels scoring. My opinion is the scoring could be much easier to follow and not as involved. To make scoring more user friendly would have made this much more fun to play. The object is for one team player to give clues to a clue word and must not use that word to explain it. There is a bell to hit if the opposing team catches you saying the Hot Word while trying to get their team mates to guess the word. The problem is the other team cannot see the words on the cards. We created our own work around for that, when someone draws a card, they look at it and also show each card to the other team, so they can catch them if they mess up. After a few rounds we stopped scoring and just picked cards and tried to get each other to guess the words. So we devised our own version of how to play. We did have a lot of fun though I also own a game called Taboo which is exactly the same premise but simpler to play. I would still recommend because I love word guessing games and it provides a nice amount of cards with 4 words on each card, so there is the opportunity to play many many many games and rounds. -

This game is rated 8+. I did play with my 6 year old Granddaughter and she was definitely old enough to play and loved it. I think rating this 8 and over is bit restrictive. The game itself is good quality and ridiculously simple but unique. All yo do is fill each long sock with all the objects, spin the dial and Ready! Steady! Go! feel around in the sock and the first to feel the correct object and pull it out wins! So simple, yet so fun. I must admit when I first opened this game I thought, well this is ridiculously easy and no challenge at all. I was wrong, it is not as simple as you would think, This game was fun and we had a lot of laughs searching and feeling around for the right object. This game definitely is great to encourage the sense of touch for children and adults alike. This game was sent to me at no cost in exchange for my unbiased honest review. -

Whenever I have purchased coconut cookies, they have had chocolate chips included. As a stand alone coconut cookie, these are delicious. These cookies contain real shredded coconut, not just a coconut flavoring. I am sure the inclusion of real coconut is what sets these apart. As with all their cookies, there are no artificial colors or flavors and no high fructose corn syrup. Crunchy yet light and crispy is the best way to explain the texture of these cookies. You can definitely taste the real coconut. As yet, they Voortman does not make these with chocolate chips yet, I am hoping they include that option in the future. I received these cookies free in return for my honest review. -

Wow, my new favorite cookie! I am paying attention to ingredients more than ever now, and these ingredients are very impressive for a cookie! Real whole grains and no artificial colors or flavors! These are very crispy and crunchy, not for the soft cookie lover at all. The taste is just the perfect mixture of oatmeal and chocolate chip. As a chocolate lover, I am very particular about the chips. These chips are very rich and flavorful, real chocolate flavor and plenty of them. They did not skimp in the amount of chips per cookie.With every bite you get a mouthful of chips, just perfect! If you like to dip your cookies, which I do not, but I know plenty of people love to do this, these are perfect for that because they are so crunchy they will not get soggy quickly .Only thing that I would improve would be the packaging. Once opened, you have to transfer to an air tight container or use a lot of tape to seal these backup again. An airtight resealable package would be ideal. -

These cookies are so light and crispy they are a pleasure to eat. I have never had a cookie that was strawberry banana flavored and these were delicious. I could taste both flavors equally. These Strawberry Banana Wafers are baked with real fruit! No artificial flavors or ingredients makes me feel good about eating these. I am looking forward to purchasing another package in chocolate. Only negative is they are very crumbly. Just taking one out of the package can create quite a flaky mess. Hard to describe but the wafers are very light and delicate, just touching them can make little particles flutter all over the place. I wish these came in a resealable package. -

I love the feel of this on your skin. My skin did feel softer after using this product. I love the bottle it comes in, great pump that delivers just the right amount each time. Not crazy about the scent, though after applying make-up over it, the scent dissipated. The scent reminds me of products sold at Aveda. I guess that is what you get with an organic product, but I prefer no scent at all. This goes on super light and non greasy, I liked it alot. -

Thank you for allowing me to test out this body lotion. What a perfect time of year because my skin is so dry and flaky right now. I would not normally purchase Vaseline productsso I am really grateful for the opportunity because now I will buy it. It goes on silky smooth...really! The scent is different and pleasant. I personally would prefer no scent at all unless it is purposely scented like vanille or such, but this is mild. This cream soaks right in you do not find your self rubbing and rubbing to get it to absorb. Skin feels great and flakiness is down to a minimum. This actually keeps my skin moisturirzed through the day until I shower and reapply. Shape and style of the bottle is great, no mess or dripping. Had a hard time reading the back label especially, very small print and blue on blue is even more difficult. I will buy this myself when this runs out. -
