Review:

I’ve been using this product for a good three weeks. I wanted to give it a nice long try before doing a review on it. I actually liked this shampoo and conditioner more than I thought I would. I’m picky about shampoos and conditioners, and this particular duo was actually doing some good for me. I always have an itchy dry scalp that I can’t seem to stop scratching, and this product actually did give me some relief from that; a noticeable relief.

I am rather impressed with the ingredient list: Manuka “healing” honey from New Zealand, Organic Aloe Vera, Cehami from Australia, B5 and Coconut Oil Extract. Some of these I had never heard of and am glad that I have now as they seem to be quality and really work. I’m impressed.

I really like that this product is not just for eczema and psoriasis, it’s also for other scalp conditions such as: dandruff, seborrheic dermatitis, hair loss, dry hair, or simply red, irritated, itchy, flaky scalp. I also like that this product is gentle enough for children to use as well. It would be great for those with sensitive skin. It’s very gentle and very effective. It also does not have an overly strong scent to it, but it does have a scent- it’s not bad.

If you have scalp issues and want a natural, effective shampoo and conditioner that will not irritate your scalp or skin, and is gentle enough for even children to use, you should definitely consider Wild Naturals Eczema and Psoriasis shampoo and conditioner! You can find it on Amazon.com

Review:

My son has such fair skin and I always am cautious with him and make him wear sunscreen, year round. It’s always important for us to be protecting our children’s skin, and even our own, for that matter. If my son doesn’t have sunscreen on, he burns, and it’s painful for him. I hate to see him in pain, so I am very diligent about making sure he’s protected when he’s outside.

I’m also very picky about what types of sunscreen I will put on my son’s skin. There are so many options out there that are just plain bad for you, that it’s hard to find one that is good. So when I had the opportunity to try out Sun'n'Fun Broad Spectrum SPF30 Sunscreen for Kids, I knew I needed to! It’s a natural product with no chemical fillers, and best of all it smells like chocolate! My son would never fight me over putting on chocolate sun screen! I love that this sunscreen is non-NANO, toxin-free, oxybenzone-free, paraben-free, and rich in antioxidants and vitamin C. What isn’t there to love about this product?

This particular product is only SPF 30, and I sort of wish it were a little bit higher of an SPF, but overall I can’t complain at all. My son loved this product, I loved it, and he had no reactions to it at all. He can sometimes have sensitive skin, so I was happy this product worked well for him.

This product is not at all greasy, and it soaks into the skin fairly quickly. And as I said before, it smells like chocolate! I just can’t get over that! What better way to get kids to want to wear sunscreen willingly than to have it smell like chocolate! Genius.

This product will be used up rather quickly, and I am sure to be buying several more tubes of it to have on hand for everyday and for summer usage. I am thinking I may just be using it for myself as
well as for my son! This product exceeds my expectations.

Speekee Spanish for Kids Review + #Giveaway

About:

Speekee was founded in 2006 and has been building a reputation for quality Spanish learning ever since.

They recently created The Speekee Spanish Challenge, which is the most comprehensive Spanish learning program for children ever to appear online.

Speekee works for children between the ages of 2 and 11.

Review:

I took 4 years of Spanish in High School and loved it. I would love to have my son learn some Spanish because I think he’d really benefit from it. I was excited to be able to try out this program with my son and to blog about how he liked it.

Speekee Spanish uses a series of videos to introduce children to Spanish through songs, puppets, and skits. Each episode also has downloads to go along with the lesson.

While we haven’t gotten through the whole series, my son has started to learn a few Spanish words that he likes to use regularly. He thinks he’s “hot stuff” because he can speak some Spanish. I find this rather amusing. He does do a good job of learning the words through this program.

I think this program would be better suited for younger children (my son is 5), and less suited for older children as the older children will most likely not like how this program looks/works. They might not like the puppetry, etc.

My son doesn’t read too much yet so the subtitles in the program were not of any use to him, but they did help me to follow along better.  He was learning to say: I like, hot, cold, hello, and a few other of the easier words.

While the program does do a good job of teaching words to children, it doesn’t seem to really teach how to use the words in sentences. This program may do that; we just might not have gotten there yet.

Overall, this program is great for the younger children and does teach them various Spanish words. The younger kids seem to really enjoy this program and how it teaches.

Review:

Let’s face it; kids are almost required to have an email address anymore. Teachers want children to email them assignments or to be able to email kids assignments; friends want to email each other, etc. Some kids just want to have an email address to say that they have one.

KidsEmail.org is very parent friendly and can be set up in less than ten minutes. I set up an account for my son in just a few minutes. I was happy to be able to choose from a wide array of safety features. I like having control of what he can or cannot do with this email account. I also like knowing I can be able to see what he is getting and what he is sending. I love how there are a variety of options that would be appropriate for different ages. I actually cannot think of any options that were not available that I would want to use.

Another awesome feature this program has is that it blocks ads from users. This is a huge deal when it concerns children. They do not need to see advertisements for weight loss products, sexual enhancement products, dating sites, etc. It won’t be there for them to see and that makes me feel much better about them having email.

Would you believe this program also has a GPS tracker? It is currently only available for Android devices via a mobile app, but it is a great feature that I am appreciative to have the option of using.

KidsEmail.org is a paid program, however considering the safety and options it provides, a few dollars a month is worth a sound mind! Currently, users may purchase a full annual subscription for $2.99/month billed at $38.95 for the year. You can choose from an @kidsemail.org or @kmail.org (better for those older children who want a more grown-up email address).

Overall I would highly recommend this program for anyone with kids needing email (which is most all kids anymore). This program is so easy to use and has so many options you can choose from in terms of keeping your kids safe. You don’t have to sit and worry about what they are seeing, getting or sending. You can be sure they are only getting what you are allowing them to get.

You can try this program for 30-days free with no obligation and no credit card. For more information you can check out KidsEmail.org

Rainbow Bandz Loom Refill Pack

About:

New Improved Highest Quality, Brightest Color Rainbow Band refills available.

The RAINBOW BANDZ refill pack comes with 5400 bands in 9 different bold, beautiful colors including Red, Yellow, Green, Blue, Pink, Purple, Orange, Black and White. 100% Compatible with all loom kits.

The highest quality organic latex free materials used in manufacturing process. Greatly reduced smell via special airing process in manufacturing & bags designed with airing holes.

365 Day Money Back Guarantee - if you aren't happy for any reason you can get a full refund no questions asked or an additional pack sent out to you at no charge (your choice!).

Review:

When I first received this pack of refill bandz, I was shocked at how large the pack was! You get 5400 bands in 9 different colors. All of the colors were very vibrant and fun! The colors were neon yellow, black, neon pink, white, neon orange, blue, neon purple, red, and neon green.

I liked that all of the different colors were separated so as to not get all mixed together and hard to find. I like to sort out the colors so when I make a band (or whatever), I can easily pull out the colors I need or want. I also like that these bands have no rubbery smell at all! Most bands have a strong rubbery smell to them, these bands do not! They are also much better that regular bands in that they don’t break easily.  These bands are strong, sturdy, and have a very nice elasticity to them. They are really nice to work with. I am also very happy that they are latex free, non-toxic and lead-free.

These bands are compatible with any loom kit and are actually better than the bands that most kits include. I was really impressed with the quality of these bands.

The kids were very excited to start maing bracelets and one even made a necklace. The bright colors really made their art work pop. We were all very happy with these bands. They were also excited that they didn't break all the time like their other bands do. Overall, we had a great time with these bands!

You can get this very large pack of Rainbow Bandz on Amazon.com and you can visit Rainbow Bands on their website for more information.

LumenX Ez Grip Bike Light

Disclosure: I got this product as part of an advertorial.

This EX Grip Bile Light comes with a front bike light and a rear taillight (two for the price of one!) that is made to fit any bike. It doesn’t matter if it’s a street bike, mountain bike, or even a child’s bike- this will fit! It is easy to attach, water resistant and made of a silicone material. It works great as a safety and emergency light.

The lights have two dual LED bright lights that illuminate your bike seat and tire to make you more visible to approaching cars. They also have long lasting lithium ion coin batteries that provide over 130 hours of flashing use and 25 hours continuous use. LumenX also offers a life time guarantee on these lights!

Review:

I opened the package to find the two lights- one red LED light for the back of the bike and one white LED light for the front of the bike.

These lights have four modes to choose from: Constant, Strobe, Disco strobe or Epileptic Fit Strobe. You can choose whichever suits you.

These lights are super easy to attach – even a child could attach it to their bike. You can do this with just one hand. Just slide it on and clip it. It’s that easy. It really would fit any bike. I tried it on a couple of our bikes with no problems. It’s very adaptable.

The lights themselves are very bright and easily show up at night and even during the day. It’s great knowing you can get a bright and effective light for your bike at a great price. The fact that it’s so easy to attach even a child could do it, is a bonus. The best part is that they have a lifetime guarantee. To me that says this is a quality product that won’t let you down.  

Where I live you really need to be careful when riding your bike. When it’s foggy, it’s very hard to see anyone riding their bike, when it’s dark it’s hard to see and even in the day sometimes. It’s always a good idea to have a light on your bike for safety and these lights work great for that.

App: Alphabet Jumbled by Little Learning Tots

Disclosure: I got this product as part of an advertorial.

Alphabet Jumbled App by Little Learning Tots is for the iPhone 5 or better or iPad 2 or better. It’s a reading and write app that can be downloaded for $1.99 on the iTunes store.

Alphabet Jumbled is a fantastic app for young children learning their ABCs. On the home screen children have the option of using flash cards, reading though the ABCs, an easy or more difficult alphabet letter jumble, and finally being able to test themselves with the jumble challenge.

The “Know your ABCs!” part is a fun way to learn the alphabet. You will get a screen that has all the letters laid out in very fun and brightly colored patterns. A child can click on the letter of their choice and the voice will read the letters out loud.

The “ABC Flash Cards” part is a great way to associate letters to a word and a picture. The first letter will come up on a flash card with the letter at the top, a picture that starts with that letter in the middle, and the picture’s word at the bottom. It’s a fun and great way for children to be able to associate a letter with a picture/object and to a word.

The “Easy Jumble” part has 5 random letters at the top and outlines of those letters at the bottom. The idea is to match the letter to its outline. The easy jumble is a great way for kids to start to be able to put the letters to the right outline.

The “Jumble A-Z” is a little more difficult and good for older kids learning. It has all 26 letters randomly sprawled out on the screen and the object is to put the letters in alphabetical order. The child only needs to tap and drag the letters to move them to the correct order. It also times them so they can see how they improve the more times they play it.

And finally the “Jumble Challenge” is where you need to re-arrange a set of letters as fast as they can. It’s timed and there is a fish that bites seconds off the timer. There is a help button that children can tap if they need help.

 At the top left of the screen there is a home icon that takes you back to the home page. There is an Aa icon that lets users choose the look and feel of the letters. And the arrow at the bottom right of the screen lets you review the last action.

I think this app is fantastic. It’s a great, fun, and clever way for kids to learn the alphabet. My son is 5 years old and absolutely loves this app. While he does know his abc’s, he does like the challenge of trying to put them all in order by visually looking at them. He also loves the jumble challenge and trying to get all the letters in the correct order in time, before the fish eats away at his time. It’s more of a challenge because the 5 random letters are just that, random, and he needs to figure out in what order they would go.

This would be a great app for any child who is in the process of learning their ABCs. It’s fun, interactive, and keeps their attention.
