I received a complimentary MealTime Magic Mia Interactive Feeding Baby Doll for testing purposes. This is intended for ages 4 and up. My six year old and one year old love playing with this doll. Even my 10 year old finds enjoyment with it. Mia comes with a feeding tray, interactive spoon and a bottle that when you remove the lid also functions as a pacifier.She is dressed in removable shorts, shirt and headband. Mia has a English and French speaking mode. Both doll and spoon require batteries and function to alert you when the batteries are low. There are two push buttons to operate Mia. Her back button wakes her up if she is asleep and can be patted to burp her. Pressing her chest button is tickle mode and makes her laugh. Moving her upright and titling her around puts her in play mode. Her feeding tray has 10 different foods and you can mix two foods together making over 50 different food combinations. The tray works with the interactive spoon by placing the sensor of the spoon on the food colors and the spoon will light up. Mia interacts and makes facial expressions with a yum face, sour or yuck when you place the spoon in her mouth. She can also drink her bottle, use the pacifier and be rocked to sleep. She has 70 or more sounds with reactions like sticking out her tongue or blowing raspberries when tickling her. The best part of this doll is interactive feeding but no messy foods to mix and the diapers to change/constantly buy after feeding like some of the other dolls. My girls play with Mia daily and never tire of her. She would make a great gift with the holiday season approaching. -

My five year old daughter loves Luvabella. She has a three month old sister so interactive play with the doll is just like watching mommy. Luvabella comes with a bottle and pacifier. She enjoys feeding her doll and burping her. This second generation of Luvabella is more soft and cuddly. My daughter loves watching her tummy move up and down when she dozes off to sleep. She has so much fun with this doll and it’s very realistic to babies. -

I received a complimentary Moonlite Storybook Projector for testing purposes. I was sent the starter pack that includes two story reels, Moonlite projector, quick start guide and activation card. Everything comes packaged in a book shaped storage case. The stories are recommended for ages 3 -7, which include, Love You Forever and We Share Everything. Both are written by Robert Munsch. The quick start guide is easy to follow and tells how to use the application code to retrieve the stories that follow along with the story reels. The projector is used in conjunction with an app that is available on the Apple App Store or Google Play. After downloading the app and setting up a Moonlite account, there is a step by step tutorial within the app. Both stories are now stored in the app upon applying the application code. The projector easily clips on to a phone and uses the phone flashlight for projection. There is a knob on the front that is turned to focus the projected picture. The story reels are inserted into the projector and there is an arrow telling which slide to start. The story on the app plays music while you read along out loud. It has certain parts within the story that are highlighted and when you click on them will play a sound. At the end of each page it tells you to turn to the next slide in the reel. I find the hardest part in using this is getting the projector on my phone just right. It does have a target to line up on the app but it doesn’t work just right with my phone. However, I do have a rather bulky phone case so perhaps this is the cause. I also find it hard to turn between pictures without moving the projector and having to put in some work to line it up again. It is really trial and error. My daughters really enjoy this product though and my four year old finds story time to be more fun. I recommend giving it a try. -

We received the KumiKreator Bracelet Maker complimentary for testing purposes. My 8 year old daughter absolutely fell in love with this set. It comes with everything needed to make 10 bracelets. But you will need some scissors that are not included. It includes one Color KumiKreator Cool Maker Machine. Our set included 88 spools of string in the colors teal, light pink, magenta and yellow. I don’t know if this is the standard colors included with the bracelet makers or if there are other bracelet makers with different colors. There are multiple refill kits with a variety of different colors for purchase. The kit also includes a design booklet with 10 different bracelets. The designs are easy to follow and it tells you where to load the colors in the maker. I like that there is a measuring guide included so the right length can be made. There are 8 silver clasp and 2 metallic pink for finishing off the bracelet. These are neat and allow the bracelets to easily be taken on and off. The direction booklet is easy to follow. It has detailed directions with diagrams. Some steps may require help from an adult. My 8 year old did need my help to get the string in place and loaded into the KumiKreator. She was good to go after that. The handle can only go in one direction and it shows an arrow of which way to spin it. These bracelets remind me of the ones I use to make at camp as a kid that would take hours. It took my daughter less than 5 minutes! So far she made two bracelets the “Dream Beam” for herself and made the “Sunrise” bracelet for her sister. Her 4 year old sister actually cranked the handle and made her own bracelet. This set is recommended for ages 8 and up. A 4 year old would never be able to load the machine and I can see only be capable of spinning the handle while an adult held the machine in place. A few family members have already put in a request for bracelets. Her dad wants to order one of the yarn sets that has his favorite football team’s colors and have her make a bracelet. I definitely recommend the KumiKreator Bracelet Maker. We have plans to purchase some of the refill kits. This would make great birthday gifts or for Christmas. -

My daughters love the Party Popteenies Poptastic Party Playset. They are ages 4 and 8 and this set is recommended for ages 4+. Both of my girls enjoy playing with miniaturized dolls and accessories which makes this set a perfect fit for our household.
The playset comes with one surprise popper which has a doll and removable hair bow. I’m assuming this is like most mystery boxes and each set comes with a different doll. There is a booklet inside that shows 25 different dolls to collect, their name and what type of doll you revealed. The surprise popper is very neat and my oldest daughter’s favorite part of the set. She likes to open mystery packages. It tells you in the popper where to turn to open and confetti with streamers pops out while revealing your doll. We ended up with a Winter Wonderland Surprise Doll named Cassidy. This is a Series 1 doll. There is also dolls that are considered the Cute Animal Surprise and Rainbow Unicorn Surprise in this series. Cassidy wears a playful yellow dress with pink trim. Her shoes are turquoise with pink bows. Clothing and shoes are fixed and not removable. She stands upon a pink platform that makes her easy to keep upright. My daughter adores her hair that is an ombré turquoise to lavender. The popper also contained a pink bow for Cassidy which appears as if it would be interchangeable with the other dolls.
There are three surprise gifts to open that are packed in decorative gift boxes. These contain blind bags which include a cake, two cake stands, two drink bottles, a party hat, snack bowl and flowers.
The play set has a DJ Booth with a pressable turntable. The dance floor has a heart shaped lever you push back and forth in order to crank up the revolving floor. After cranking the floor will revolve several times in a circle when you push the turntable. It will eventually slow to a stop. You just crank again and push the turntable button to restart. There is a place for six dolls on the dance floor, three of the spots also move around in circles when the dance floor revolves. The middle of the dance floor has a cake that you can place the doll in which pops open and closed with the doll moving up and down out of the cake while the dance floor moves around. Above the dance floor area is what looks like balloons and a disco ball. A nice detail to give it a festive party touch.
There is a balcony with a photo booth area and the set came with 3 changeable back drop scenes which are snow flakes with Penguins and an Igloo. A rainbow with unicorn scene and a forest scene with owls and balloons. The back drops are thin cardboard that slips into a plastic frame. There are also thin cardboard paper props for the dolls that look like two wands, glasses, rainbow headband and a crown. The balcony has a moveable elevator on the side. There is a pink floor area on the bottom.
This set includes a mirror and table to furnish the play set with. It also has a sticker sheet. The directions for assembly did not specify what the stickers were for so my girls have started to just place a few around the set.g
This play set was very easy to assemble. The directions are straight forward and have detailed pictures. The attention to small details is wonderful throughout this toy. My girls absolutely love this set and have already obtained hour of play with it. This is there first of this brand. They are excited to collect other dolls in the series and are curious what else Party Popteenies has to offer. Definitely recommend. Perfect for fans of blind box toys in which this has extended play after opening.
I received this item complimentary for review purposes. All opinions are my own.

My 7 year old is a huge Justice Clothing Store fan. The place has grown on me over the years. While items seemed over priced and very expensive, they have lots of opportunities for big deals. You joust have to know how to shop at Justice. Sometimes you may be able to get an extra 60% off already reduced clearance. They also send out emails with coupons for so much off a purchase like $25 off a $75. The coupons can also be utilized on clearance and stacked with the extra % off. I never purchase anything here full price! There is also a new program where you can get $5 reward certificates for every $200 spent. They also have perks for credit card holders but I don’t have one. The clothing is very appealing to most girls and is trendy. I think the quality is alright. We take special care of our clothing and I do not dry my daughters clothes other than sleepwear, socks and undergarments. I think the dryer really wreaks havoc on this brand as I shop a lot of consignment and see it second hand looking very ragged. I think hanging dry is key to keeping this brand of clothing looking fresh. Justice is pretty much a one stop shop for my daughter. There is clothing, accessories, footwear, beauty, and room decor. -

The Curel Hydra Therapy Wet Skin Moisturizer is the real deal. I love that I can store it in the shower and apply to wet skin immediately after showering. It leaves my skin feeling amazing! I’m a stay at home mom who sometimes cheats myself out of the little things like applying lotion because I am always pressed for time. With Curel I can get that pampered feeling because I don’t have to worry about being dry to use it. I save time and have room for some me time too! -

My husband bought me the Kat Von D Tattoo Liner as a gift from Sephora. If you love bold, black liner then this is for you. I find this very easy to use. It has a soft brush like tip for drawing liner on. It is great for beginners to try a winged look. I adore that this liner does not budge nor run. I use primarily on the upper eye lid. I believe this is around $18 and it is a great investment! -

The Aquaphor Healing Ointment is a staple in my household. It is perfect for dry skin or soothing irritation. I use on my daughters and it soothes their dry skin during the winter months. It’s great to slather on feet and then cover with socks overnight to get soft, moistured skin. Works well as a skin protectant with diapering too. It may seem costly but a little of this product goes a very long way. One jar last forever and it is totally worth every penny. -
