<b>My Review:</b> Originally I was interested in this product for my husband. As a middle aged man, he was under a lot of stress over the past couple of years, causing him to have lots of scalp issues: dandruff, peeling flaky scalp, major hair loss, excessive receding hair line. All issues that caused him concern. When I found out about what this product claims to do, I thought it was worth having my husband experiment with it and see if it helped him out. When we first got the products I tested them out first, to see how the directions were, if it really was as easy as it says, and if there were any weird size effects. Since my hair wasn't having the same issues I figured I would be the control for this experiment. The shampoo was good, the conditioner was good, the spray had a heated tingle when it was sprayed on my scalp, and the leave in treatment was good. So I had my husband test it out.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-nSXcgxUAYnE/VLBIAU1K2NI/AAAAAAAAKOA/bPgK8n7qdSI/s1600/20140928_093916.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-nSXcgxUAYnE/VLBIAU1K2NI/AAAAAAAAKOA/bPgK8n7qdSI/s1600/20140928_093916.jpg" height="200" width="150" /></a>He really liked the shampoo, it was super silky in his hair, as he washed and rinsed he could feel a difference. He liked the conditioner, same results and feelings with that product too. When he got to the spray he said it "burned" him, that there was no tingling feeling (like with a Tea Tree oil hair treatment tingle), it burned enough for him to quickly wash it off, with regular shampoo and regular conditioner, and even a vinegar wash. After that experience I couldn't get him to try the hair thickener, nor test the products again. So I had to use these products for the rest of the testing period. I didn't mind too much because I was curious to see what would happen with my hair, and I wanted to see if they would work. <br />
<br />
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-zGqnppv1nR4/VLBIM1aMRRI/AAAAAAAAKOk/3viQLIJCGrs/s1600/20140928_093925.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-zGqnppv1nR4/VLBIM1aMRRI/AAAAAAAAKOk/3viQLIJCGrs/s1600/20140928_093925.jpg" height="200" width="150" /></a>My experiment was roughly 3-6 months long. I used it 2-3 times a week whenever I showered. The shampoo was easy to rub in and wash out. But because I have long hair the conditioner acted like all other conditioner and took a while to rinse out. It did leave my hair stringy, and sticky the first 3-6 times I used it. After some very quick question and answer responses with the company rep, we figured out that I had too much product build up on my hair that the products weren't working. So after a 2 week cleansing of my hair, I went back to the testing. The spray still had the heated tingling feeling, which I didn't mind. But the smell is very chemical and stronger than I would like. It reminds me of mild hair dye from the DIY boxes you can buy. But after a while it didn't affect my nose as much. The hair thickener I used less often around 1-2 times a week. With my long thin and fine hair I need a de-dangler product to make managing my hair easier, so the hair thickener helped prevent my hair splitting and breaking as often as it did because I don't usually use a hair dryer and would just brush my wet hair into a simple style. <br />
<br />
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-YE1A7bu_xn0/VLBIL0rwHkI/AAAAAAAAKOg/YucIkxVZ4s8/s1600/20140928_093934.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-YE1A7bu_xn0/VLBIL0rwHkI/AAAAAAAAKOg/YucIkxVZ4s8/s1600/20140928_093934.jpg" height="200" width="150" /></a>So here's my honest results. I was totally shocked and surprised that a hair treatment actually worked. I've bought anti-flat hair products, voluminous hair products, anti-split end products for multiple companies like: Aussie, Tres Semme, Garnier Fructis, Herbal Essesnce. But have never seen real results. But these products did work. My hair that had taken 2 major fallings out from child birth of both my children has regrown to the point that I no longer have the little pieces that stick up at the roots of my hair. I haven't had split ends the whole time I used this product the way it said to be used, meaning when I was consistent I had no split ends. My hair was actually thicker, still stringy but maybe that's because my hair wasn't fine anymore. It was really nice. My only suggestion would be to somehow offer something that keeps the good oils in your hair. I had to take a break for a month and a half to increase my hair nutrition and health, despite the awesome results that I had. So if you have thinning hair, I can honestly say this will change your hair to thicker hair and help regrow the broken none growing strands of hair back. Very impressed!<br />
<br />
<b>Pros: </b>my hair became thicker, was cleaner, and oil free<br />
<br />
<b>Cons:</b> the first few uses of the spray burned my husband's scalp, oil free means the good oils were gone too<br />
<br />
<b>My Rating:</b> Thumbs up over all because it did what the company claimed it would!<br />

<b>My Review:</b> I have used product sprays before, but never had an eco friendly one. This is so amazing. I love that it won't hurt my kids or my family with chemicals or anything like that, I love that is helps the environment as well. This stuff works too. I eat a lot of salad, and have to peel all my cucumbers because of the wax left on after washing it with what I've used in the past...now I can leave the peel on if I want to because its actually clean (it shines just a bit). My kids eat apple by the bushel it seems so its great to just to fill my kitchen sink with the soaking solution so I can clean a bunch of apples all at once. <br />
Here is a before and after picture of my cucumber. Before you can see the wax, and the dirt. After you can see what I wiped off after following the directions on the bottle for cleaning my cucumber. Its gross.<br />

<b>My Review: </b>I wasn't sure about this product at all. I have a very picky body, where my bowel movements are regular just not as often as my husband. I have always felt that my body takes FOREVER to digest any food, and have struggled with weight gain/ weight loss for years. I know Aloe Vera is a very good natural plant that helps with digestion. And have taken it in pill and liquid form over the past 2 years. But that alone wasn't helping me. So when I got this product I figured why not give it a try. My body would only reject it if it didn't work. During the first 2 weeks of testing it I wasn't really seeing any changes, nothing happened that I could see. I felt better after taking it, but I wasn't seeing any other changes. Then in my third week of testing I broke out in hives. I wasn't sure if it was from this product or a new food I ate the previous day. But the hives came on instantly and lasted for 5 days before finally going away. It was very nerve wrecking! So I had my husband start taking this while I stopped everything to get rid of the hives. He LOVES this product. He feels so good when taking it, and he remembers to take it after each meal. He feels a HUGE difference when he takes it versus not taking it. He wants to make sure we have this in our house from now on. He feels like it has really helped him with his weight loss goals. Once the hives left my body I slowly started taking Rez Vera again, but only after my nightly meal. I haven't broken out in hives again, so I'm guessing it was the new food I ate. But please be mindful of how your body reacts to anything you ingest into your body. So since then I have really noticed a huge difference as well. I don't feel bloated any more, I don't feel constipated anymore when I take this consistently, I feel my stomach is really digesting my food better now!<br />

With step by step images showing you what I used. This has helped me curb my addiction to wheat/ breads, and has allowed me to go Gluten Free. My husband still prefers the Spinach wraps over gluten free ones, but since that's the only gluten he gets we figured why not. This has helped us work on reaching our weight loss goals. </div>

<b>My Review:</b> I remember seeing this company on <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uYRG5Zdgjc8">Shark Tank</a>, and just fell in love with the idea and products then so to get the opportunity to do a product review. Despite not getting an investment from any of the sharks, they are growing immensely and enjoying the journey. My children are home schooled and are ages 5-8. I was able to let the company rep know, gender and age of my kids, not knowing how this exactly works. But as it turns out the activities that comes are pretty gender neutral, and easy to do with children. The box that I got was in the theme: outer space/ stars. They specifically say "The World in a Box." as its theme. The activities are things like: building a clock, creating a telescope, "Cosmo" the flying alien, and even some Astronaut Freeze Dried Pineapple. We were given a National Geographic Kids activity book with all kinds of fun puzzles to fill out. They include "Surprise facts" that have to do with the box theme. For example; we learned that there are more stars than the grains of sand on all the beaches on Earth. We learned about the Latin meanings of A. M. and P. M. This is perfect for anyone who wants their child to have extra hands on learning and creative time. <br />

My kid's love space, aliens, stars, and using their imagination. We have Fisher Price Trio Blocks that they are constantly using to make space ships, rockets, comets, etc for their outer space explorations. So putting this Star themed/ Outer Space themed box into the hands of my Explorers was one of the best things that could happen during the rainy season where we live. Check out the pictures of their adventures. As we did worked on the clock and the spy scope, we noticed some negative things. First of all the stickers for the spy scope aren't very sticky and peeled off really quickly, so after spending 10 minutes decorating the spy scope my son removed everything since they weren't sticking very well. <br />

As we worked on the clock and were doing our best to follow the instructions, we ended up with an extra piece and found out that one of our clock hands flopped around. The instructions weren't as clear as I thought they were, so we ended up just making the clock something the kids can play pretend with until we can figure out what step we missed. (the instructions for putting the gears on was just a picture, but not big enough to figure out which tiny gold washer went where). With this news I feel like this can still be a great opportunity for parents or teachers to give their kids extra hands on learning fun, but take it with a grain of salt if the quality isn't what you would want, or if the instructions aren't as clear as you would like...other companies and products are very similar. My youngest loved the freeze dried pineapples the best!<br />

<b>My Review: </b>I have tried many different types of colon cleanses, when I'm constipated, when I'm sluggish, when I'm sick, when I've eaten junk food, when I've had too much bread. The colon cleanses that work the best are easy, gentle, "super", because its a higher concentration, herbal, organic, all natural. Will's General Super Colon Cleanse is all of those. It works quickly, it is strong enough to clean you out, without causing after affects, or diarrhea. I say it works quickly, it will work within 24 hours. My husband takes this only at night and is cleaned out every morning. I have to take it in the morning and at night to get it to work for me. Eating enough digestive fiber helps as well. The first time my husband took this, he was burping up its herbs and getting sick to his stomach, so make sure you drink with enough water, to avoid that discomfort. I have not had any negative side affects or burping because I do drink 10-14 oz of water or liquid when I take this, especially at night. Any type of pill/ capsule especially a colon cleanse may or may not work for everyone, it all depends on your body and how often you go in the first place. I do recommend this product, but if it doesn't work, contact the company, they are great to work with, and get their suggestions. <br />

<b>My Review: </b>This product is the third cellulite fighting product I have tried in my life time. I have really enjoyed using products like this because I have seen really good positive results. Body Merry is also a company who knows their body creams because this product works really good! This is the only product that has a super strong smell. And this smell lasts a long time. I first used it right before going to bed, and it finally wore off by morning. So I want to give you a heads up, if you use this product on body parts that will not be covered by clothing during the day you might not want to smell "earthy" all day. This product has a very strong "sauna" feel. When I put it on at night, I literally felt like my body had a fever because it went between the hot and icy feeling all night long. It wasn't unpleasant, but it was not easy to get used to. I do think that because of this super strong "sauna" reaction, as well as the quick absorbing qualities and lastly the caffeine, retinol, seaweed mixture, you see results much faster! <br />

With my experience, I like the smell, but its so strong that I can only put it on and have it on for about 10-20 minutes away from my husband who doesn't like it at all. I like the pudding like consistency of the gel-cream, its easy to put on and rub into your skin. The "sauna" feel is stronger than any other product I've tried and I'm still not used to it after a month. But I also don't like icy/hot, or muscle rub products that do the same thing. I used this product on my stomach where my Mommyhood stretch marks are the worst. It is working great on the cellulite, and even smoothing my stretch marked skin too. I recommend this product!<br />

<b>Pros: </b>works stronger, faster, quick to absorb, good smell, strong "sauna" feel<br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>Cons:</b> strong smell that lasts a while even after being absorbed into skin, super strong "sauna" feel might not feel good to all<br />

Shipping was great, I was able to use Amazon Prime making it fast and easy. I was able to use this water bottle as soon as it was washed and dried. I cut up various fruit and cucumbers and put them in a pattern in the fruit holder and then had to figure out how full to fill the water bottle with water so that when I put the fruit holder and lid on no water spills out. The first water bottle that I got was a dud, and didn't allow me to drink from it...there was a leak in the lid that let air in, but no water out. So I was able to test the customer service of this company. The person I spoke with via email was super fast in responding, gave me a list of things to try to make sure I did everything I could to get the bottle to work, and then over nighted a new water bottle to me, which worked! The fruit I used are: strawberries, black berries, lemons, cucumbers, and grape fruit. Let me tell you, the grape fruit over powers every other flavor except the cucumber, so I personally won't be using it ever again in the water bottle. I was able to have my fruit last 3 days with consistent fresh full flavor before I changed it out. That is a great thing in my book! Over all I have nothing negative to say about this company, their product and this experience. I'm in love with this water bottle and am loving it. Below I have listed my favorite fruit infusion recipe, so enjoy it! <br />
<br />
<b>Recipe: </b> 1/4 cucumber peeled, and sliced into quarters, 1 lemon washed and sliced into thin sliced and then cut into quarters, 3 strawberries Julian sliced, 2 black berries. Now you aren't going to use all this at once so bag individually and store in the fridge until you need the next parts. So with what you have cut up, here is what you will use, granted it depends on what you like. I put 2 lemon quarters in first, then about 4 cucumber quarters, then the 2 black berries, then 5-8 strawberry slices, then 2-3 more lemon quarters. Remember that for the best flavor leave in the water bottle over night. <i> ~Enjoy! </i><br />

<b>My Review: </b>I was really excited to be chosen for this product review. My Mother-In-Law had just bought her first ever Smart Phone after having a "dumb" flip phone for the past decade. Since she has had her new phone she has almost dropped it a dozen times while out biking with her dog. Or she just doesn't bring her phone and no one can get a hold of her for a few hours. Which isn't always good because we have family with health issues she helps care for, she babysits my kids and will take them biking too, or we just need to call her and can't. So by getting this arm band I thought this would be perfect so she can keep her phone on her at all times and not worry about dropping it or breaking it, because her phone is an iPhone 4S. <br />
<br />

As this was going to be a surprise for her I wanted my husband to test it out first to see how it works for him, because he loves listening to music while biking or jogging while at the hotel when he's traveling for work. So we tested his Samsung phone with this product. It wasn't all that easy to slide into the plastic package at first, but once we took off the case it fit so much better. But my husband said it was frustrating to take off his phone case just to put it in this exercise arm band to go work out. He knows his Mother wouldn't want to do this, and that was strike number one against this product for us. Strike number two was that the metal piece pinched his arm skin no matter how loose or tight he made this armband. Normally I try to offer suggestions to the issues with products, but I'm not really sure how to fix this issue, which made me decide this isn't worth giving to my Mother-In-Law since my husband doesn't even want to wear it because of the pinching. <br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>Pros: easy to use when the phone case is off</b><br />
<b><br /></b>

I'm super excited. I get to get my husband involved in another one of my product reviews. I hope this works out because it's going to be a long testing time, and I have a lot of work to do with the testing of this product review. Want to know what I'm going to do?<br />
<br />
I get to test a full hair treatment from Hinoki. Its their hair thinning program. Its exclusively for salons, but I was approached by the company rep. I'm so excited. This will be my last product review because things are changing for me and things just aren't working out the way I had hoped but its what needs to happen. So check back with us at the end of 2014 or the beginning of 2015.<br />

<b>My Review: </b>This product is a white lotion like cream that you rub into your skin where you have visual cellulite. It will start working on deleting the cellulite on the surface of your skin first, as least that is what I noticed as I used this product. There is a slight scent but not strong at all, and its a scent that is refreshing to have on your skin. Of the 3 different products that all fight cellulite, that I have had the opportunity to test, try and review, each of them have what is called a "sauna" feel due to the essential oils. This "sauna" sensation isn't very strong with this product, and isn't uncomfortable, unbearable, or something that would prevent you from wanting to use it. I do however, recommend that when you rub this in, be prepared to wait a good 5-10 minutes if your schedule allows for your skin to air dry to help the "sauna" sensation to go a way quicker, than if you were to trap it in your clothing right after rubbing this product into your skin.<br />

I can honestly attest to the fact that because I have used this product my upper thighs, and bottom now have a much decreased visual appearance of cellulite. Also, I can feel the difference in my skin and body parts where I have used this product that the cellulite is actually decreasing, like it's being burned off (from a workout when I say burned off) and not just being hidden. This is a great product to use, but like any product that gives you visual results whether instant, or progressive results consistency is the key.<br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>Pros:</b> works great, easy to rub in, quick to absorb, saw results within 3 uses<br />

<b>Cons:</b> none<br />

<b>Details: </b> C.A. Belmond author of A Rather Remarkable Homecoming has written 3 other novels in the Rather collection. C. A. Belmond's "Rather" novels feature the one and only Penny Nichols the American Heiress, and Jeremy Laidley the English hero, as they embark on yet another fantastic journey with a new case that comes directly from English Royalty itself. Learn just exactly what "For love of King and Country" really means to those who dwell in England and its outskirt-ting provences. As well as just how fun it really is "to Grandmother's house we go" when Penny and Jeremy are reunited with Penny's Grandmother's historic home by the sea. Will they be able to out smart gunsmen, gangsters, local myths, and pranks as well as some very scary kidnappers? Or will they turn tail and run from some very "bad" guys who are buying off everyone who could help Penny and Jeremy solve their case.<br />
<br />
<b>My Review:</b> I recently bought this book at the Dollar Tree during one of our trips to Florida. I had a lot of time on my hands this trip, and wanted something to read. I was intrigued the minute I read the title. What further intrigued me is that its about Penny Nicholas all grown up and married. I used to read her novels when I was a child because she was just as fun as Nancy Drew. This novel was a really easy read, only took me a day or so to read. I was captured the whole time though, wondering what would happen next, how they would out smart the bay guys, if their Great Aunt would save her son, or if their large inheritance would be stolen or not before they could figure out the mystery behind Penny's Grandmother's old home. Very fun! This novel was read without knowing there were previous novels that brought the rest of the story together. When I find novel series that can entertain without me needing to read the previous stories I really enjoy those novels even better! This is a keeper, and I am already in pursuit of finding the previous novels so I can finish the series.<br />
<br />
<b>Pros:</b> fun, easy read, fast read, great read by itself without needing the previous novels in the series<br />
<br />
<b>Cons: </b>none<br />

<b>My Review: </b>This kit from Dr. Cool's Sciences is really neat for my kids aged 4 and 7. Both loved it to different degrees. As we Home School, I'm always looking for tools, supplies, supplements, games, activities, field trips, etc to help bring our schooling into a more Interactive focus. This is one such supplemental activity for science. My children love rocks, so what better way to help teach Earth science than to help them learn more about rocks, minerals, gems, jewels, and the refining process. We've been to many museums lately where they have seen gold, silver, copper, jewels and gems, crystal formations, lava rocks, moon rocks, etc. So to have the opportunity to learn about one way people used to find and get gold really helps bring what they learn from their books, field trips, me as their Teacher and such is a great way to impliment my goal of Interact Home Schooling. The day we got this in the mail was the same day that we opened it up, used it, read the booklets, did the activities and panned for gold. I gave both kids a chance to pan for gold and use the tweezers to pick out the gold nuggets. My 4 year old needed more help with the panning part (as we did end up with sand and water all over the floor with him. But my 7 year old could to everything pretty much on his own, but I still stayed put to supervise. They loved the history behind everything and the activity booklet's mazes, dot to dots, and word searches were handy and fun! My only thought is that it's a one time activity, so once we've used up the sand and gold nuggets I'm not really sure what to do with this kit...maybe if the company offered a recycling effort for their pan, and box and booklets that was also free to those who purchased it this way it doesn't necessarily go to waste once the pay dirt is gone.<br />

<b>Details: </b> The Christmas Quilt by Jennifer Chiaverini is part of the Elm Creek Quilt novels. Christmas time is a time of family, friends, and traditions. But at Elm Creek it also means secrets, unresolved anger, and an UFO. So how can a fairly newly wed couple help get rid of the " Hum Bug" in Elm Creek's owner when it concerns Christmas while trying to keep a promise made long ago. Jennifer spins amazing stories of love, hurt, betrayal, forgiveness, family, and everything between those layers in this fun novel. Perfect for Christmas time, but also for anytime you want to curl up with a good book.<br />
<br />
<b>My Reviews:</b> I love the Elm Creek Quilt novels. 8 years ago, I found them at my local library and read every single one that I could during my nursing and breast pumping time as a new mother. It was the perfect thing to help me get through those times. I love each story Jennifer has written, and truly enjoy her style, humor, and wisdom as she spins characters into realistic living characters. The Christmas quilt is one of her best written novels as we learn more about Sylvia's past, her family, the traditions and sacrifice that was done to make Elm Creek what it is today. 2 years ago I was able to be reconnected with the Elm Creek Quilt novels when our local library started selling their used books to the public. I was able to pick up only 3 Elm Creek Quilt novels, but now that I have 3 I want to own the other 7. What I love about Jennifer's writing style is that each book can be read on it's own without you missing anything, but when you read them in their order, its truly a lovely story, broken up into 10 different novels. <br />
<br />
<b>Pros:</b> amazingly well written, love the history, love the ease of reading, love the characters,<br />
<br />
<b>Cons:</b> none<br />
<br />
<b>My Rating:</b> THUMBS UP <br />

For our home school this year, we've really been focusing on being Interactive, for fun, education, and responsibilities. So as one of my best friends offered us the chance to join this cool Facebook group to help with Geography. I had to say yes! What fun it'll be for the kids. So what we do is every month is mail out a package of fliers, information, details, coloring pages and a little trinket from the state where we live. Its all about the state/ territory where you live and you share it with 13 other families so we have a package being mailed out and being received every month of school (as some of us are year round Home Schoolers). </div>

<b>My Rating:</b> This is the second Yacon product/ dietary supplement that I have tried in my life time. Between these two products there are many differences. This Yacon syrup is truly a syrup consistency, thick, dark in color, sweet smelling, and reminds me a lot of molasses. So if you like molasses then you'll have no issues taking this product. I on the other hand do not like molasses and so really had to force myself to take this. However when I was taking this product I really felt good. My metabolism was faster, I was digesting my food better and more often, my bowels were more regulated. So there are some very important benefits for having this product being a constant dietary supplement. However like anything you take for your health consult a doctor before taking to make sure it will be beneficial to you. To be honest I was taking it daily for a while, then we started going out of town a lot during one of my reviewing months and I stopped taking it, and now as I write this review, I remember that I had stopped and am now remembering the good benefits that I got from taking this, so as I prepare to head out of town again, I'm planning on taking this with me so I can have those nice benefits again.<br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>Pros: </b>works well, good benefits health wise, true to its nature<br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>Cons:</b> tastes and smells like molasses which I don't like<br />

<b>My Review:</b> I LOVE THIS PRODUCT! Seriously, that sentence says it all about how amazing this product is. I have Amazon prime so I got the pitcher really quickly. It took a little bit of time to get some good recipes and the fruit needed for those recipes. But once I got it I was able to use this really easily. I put my infuser recipe together at night, so that it would be ready come morning. I've been drinking it for 3 days now and love it. The water is super duper cold, so if you have sensitive teeth drink through a straw (at least that's the advice I got from my Dentist). The water tastes really good. Some fruits/ citrus are more strong than others, so be mindful of what you use and how much you use. And just in those 3 days of using this product my skin has broken out, which means the detoxing is actually working (because I'm eating clean and can feel a difference). This works and is amazing! <br />

This is a detox recipe which I found on pinterest. The grape fruit after day 2 is super strong. The cucumber was really strong day 1, but not any more. I have used the fruit for 3 days now. I am not sure how long fruit usually lasts, but so far its very fresh and potent still. So I'm going to test it and see just how long fruit will last in the infuser pitcher. <br />

<b>My Review:</b> It has been many many years since I last tried a lotion/ cream that helped fight or reduce cellulite, as well as a body firming lotion. During those early years of testing I remember it not working. So I was very skeptical when testing this product out. When using this product, the first thing you notice is the smell/ scent. Its strong, a good fresh scent, that will go away once the cream is fully absorbed. I love products that have this quality! The cream is CREAM not a LOTION so its thicker, you don't need as much when rubbing it into your skin, and stays on your body all day. I tested this product on my thighs, abdominals/ stomach, and buttocks. I really saw the biggest change in my thighs. They are smoother, the cellulite can't be seen much at all, and when I shave now, its easier, with smoother, less lumpy firm skin. I didn't see much change in my stomach, but will continue using it to see what happens. So after using this product for a month I can say there truly is a visible change to your skin, skin is firmer, cellulite does break down more so you see it less through your skin. I actually felt more confident after using this product that I no longer wear beach shorts when I swim, or go to the beach.<br />
<br />
<b>Pros: </b>works, love the scent that goes away once cream is fully absorbed, saw the visible change in my skin, I have firmer more smooth less cellulite thighs now<br />
<br />
<b>Cons:</b> none<br />

So for this year's school season, we are really going into Interaction for my kids. They love school now, so its time to show you what I'm doing to make school more fun this year. </div>

Fishing for 100 Days: Last year we tried to focus on having a 100th day of School party, but due to our cercumstance and situation of being on the go since we were living with family in their home, I forgot to keep track. So this year I'm making it up to them. Especially since now both kids are in "real" school grades. Here's our super fun chart, that cost me 50 cents. Its great! We use our neon wipe off markers to mark the days we do school. The kids get 2 options with this. Have me fill in each school day with the color they choose or have them each take turns coloring the fish in each day.<br />

Last year my children really struggled with "counting their blessings" being grateful for anything, especially really understanding why being grateful and saying Thank you is so important. So I created a Gratitude Tree last year, that was bigger than this one, but due to space on our walls I had to re-paint a new Gratitude Tree for this year and start over. But the kids like seeing their Gratitude Tree during our whole school day, so its a great swap. <br />

For my Second Grader, he really wants to know what his schedule is, what subjects he will be doing each day, and how long each subject will last. So I bought him a Job Chart for school. I have a list of every subject we'll cover this semester. Than I color in the subjects we'll do each day. Then as we complete a subject my Second Grader gets to erase that subject for that day. So far he's loving it...we haven't kept every subject exactly yet, but its working better than not having something for him to keep track with.<br />

My Kindergartener was getting jealous that his older Brother was having a "School Chart" so it was time to get him his own too. This one is scaled down for his age, and a little more fun to look at. So there's an apple for each day, and on each day I will do one of two options.<br />
1. Write all subjects out in the same colored wipe off marker ink,<br />
2. Write each subject out in a different colored wipe off marker ink.<br />
<br />
Then he too, gets to erase the subject he has completed. This is really helping this little guy because he has a short addention span, can't hold still worth beans unless its REALLY FUN for him, or complains that school takes SOOOOOOO long. So now he knows just how long school will be, and how much smarter he will get each time he finishes a school subject.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15254468673856985848noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2898223753478622009.post-31467446015129036552014-09-09T04:30:00.000-04:002014-09-10T17:00:26.657-04:00Mega Mesh Screen Door<a href="http://www.tomoson.com/?code=TOP4bb33f905858227f1b716b3e679db35e" rel="nofollow"><img src="http://www.tomoson.com/images/front/pixel.png" style="display: none;" /></a>

<b>My Review: </b> I got this product to use in my apartment for the deck once the weather isn't so humid. However, when I first ordered it I didn't realize that nails and double sided sticky velcro were still used to help hold this up, so I have not been able to install this in my apartment. However, other complexes may have less strict rules. This is a very good idea especially for people who live in the south. We tried this in the door frame of my In-Law's back deck door, but it wasn't wide enough to adhere to the walls of the door frame so they haven't been able to use it either. The last place we plan on testing it is at my Great Grandma's house which is a Double Wide trailer. Those doors just might have the 36" wide measurements that will allow me to put it up and finally take pictures of it being used. So until that time, I am unable to actually get it up on the door frame for pictures. I love that pets can easily go through the door, and that the magnets will quickly close it up once they are through. <br />
<br />

What I have been able to test is that the velcro is strong, the magnets work great, the mesh is high quality, meaning its not easy to poke a hole through, sunlight still gets through the black mesh screen. I love the idea behind this, I love how pet friendly this is, and can't wait to try this out on a door frame that will actually work with these measurements. <br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>Pros: </b>light weight, easy to use, magnets are really strong, mesh is high quality<br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>Cons: </b>the mesh door measurements aren't the standard door frame measurements anymore, so it has been difficult finding a place to actually fit this mesh door. Most are taller and wider at least that is what I have seen in the 5 homes that I have tried.<br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>My Rating: Thumbs Up and Thumbs Down. Thumbs up for the idea and quality, Thumbs Down because I wasn't actually able to use this the way its intended.</b><br />

<b>My Review:</b> When I got this product I showed it to my Mother-In-Law who was more excited that I got it than I was. I've used shampoo and conditioner with Tea Tree Oil in it, but other than that, I've had no other experience with this essential oil. But because I had heard of it I was very curious about it, and wanted to learn more, and see what else it can do for my body. Let me tell you, getting this product is cool, but having the company give you a free "How to Use" booklet is super helpful. There are so many ways you can use this product, I didn't even know. Just to name a few benefits that I personally found interesting: Its great for shampoos and conditioners to help improve the quality of your scalp. It can be made into a spot remover. You can make a deodorant from this product. A sore muscle relaxer. These are just a few things that you can use Tea Tree Oil for.<br />

When using this product I specifically used it to help my scalp and hair (because it leaves your scalp tingly and super clean feeling like a scalp massage), to remove skin tags, and as a skin toner or soother. This is basically an essential oil so the scent/ smell/ fragrance is strong, REALLY strong. So follow the recipes other wise you'll have that smell about you all day long. As I have been using this product, I have to say I really love the feel of this when I use it for my hair, skin and scalp. I see really good benefits, when using those recipes. I haven't been brave enough to try making the deodorant, detergent, or anything toothpaste/ mouth wash wise. I also haven't been brave enough to make the stain remover recipe either, but I think I will give it a try because I have very active children and stains seem to follow them with all their clothes: school, church, and play. For the few items that I've tried I have been pleased with the results. However, there is only one negative thing I can say about this product is that one the bottle's label itself it mentions that you can use this product to remove skin tags, but the "How to Guide" doesn't tell you how, or give you a recipe to make and follow. I wish there was more information about this specific product use. Other than that I'm happy with using this product, and the results I'm getting. <br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>Pros:</b> love the product, love the benefits, LOVE the "How to Guide"<br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>Cons: </b>there aren't recipes or how to guides for all the benefits mentioned on the bottle's label<br />

<b>My Review:</b> My kids love magnets on our fridge, love magnetic puzzles, games, and toys. We have a huge collection of magnetic "rocks" from a science museum that our children get to play with for school time. But they wanted something more fun and creative. We were given a set of Magnetix which the boys fell in love it. Basically its a set of toys where you have plastic rods with magnets in both ends of the rods, and you have metal marble sized balls. You can build anything with these rods and balls. Some rods are longer and others shorter, you can find them in various colors. But this one set didn't have enough rods or balls for my children to be really creative. So I was lucky enough to find a set of 42 pieces for $4 on Ebay with free shipping. TOTALLY amazing right? That's what I thought. So I bought 6 packs. I should have bought more, but we now have roughly 300 pieces of these Magnetix toys and its a great start to the collection our kids can play with. We use these toys for our home schooling, for their play time, when their bored, and as a family. This is really a great toy, and I'm very excited to have a good starter collection of them for my children. <br />
<br />
<b>Pros:</b> fun for the whole family, great for home schooling, science classes, child friendly,<br />
<br />
<b>Cons: </b>none<br />

</div>
This is my first year where I'll actually be accountable for Home schooling 2 children. I will be doing Kindergarten, and 2nd/1st grade too. We are in our own place now, and actually worked all summer on creating a fun, school area/room for me and the kids. Since we're going to be stable in our own place I no longer needed to have a Home School on the Go. So now I'm focusing on a fun, interactive home school experience for myself as Teacher, and for each of my children. To start this interactive focus off with, I found some awesome calendar/ weather charts that are high quality enough/ strong enough that kids can use it without ruining them. First off, my Calendar package that I bought on <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1609964152/ref=cm_cr_ryp_prd_ttl_sol_31">Amazon here</a>.<br />

<b>Secondly</b>, here's my Weather package. I bought it from <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0017DBV8Y/ref=cm_cr_ryp_prd_ttl_sol_21">Amazon here</a>. My children and I love charting weather over a monthly basis. It helps make our school day more fun, and brings in science weather into a more focused understanding.<br />

<div style="text-align: left;">
<b>Pros:</b> love the chart idea, love the images, love the hot, cold, windy, foggy cards as well, easy for K-2 aged children to use</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<b>Cons:</b> I don't like how I had to free hand cut all these cards out, I don't like how I don't have any storage options attached to this chart, I am still disappointing that this company bent the chart when shipping it</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<b>My Rating:</b> Thumbs Up still works well over all</div>
