3-in-1 Travel Wallet by Valhalla


My family loves to travel but there is always the danger of having your wallet or purse stolen so I usually try to carry a cross body purse. But when you are places like amusement parks it really isn't much fun carrying around a purse all day so I usually just let my husband carry his wallet and pay for everything and that way we have one less thing to keep up with. The problem with that is wallets do some times fall out of pockets or you bump into a pick pocket in a big crown and don't notice your wallet is gone till it is to late. That is where this 3-in-1 travel wallet by Valhalla comes in to save the day! You can now wear your wallet under your shirt so no one knows it is there and no one is going to be able to slide it off you without you noticing even in the busiest of crowds.

 This travel wallet is very easy to put on you just put the top loop around your neck and stick your arm threw the same hole and then unbuckle the other strap and buckle it around your waist like a belt. Both straps are easily adjustable so that it will securely and comfortable fit people of many sizes. This really is a great idea and much better than fanny packs which can be ripped off you. My husband will definitely be wearing this on our next vacation!

La Lune Naturals Zinc Oxide Powder


I have been looking for healthier options for my families and my own health and skin care so I was excited when I was offered the chance to try this premium zinc oxide powder from La Lune Naturals. It sounds like a great product to use to make your own chemical free sunscreen but honestly it is too cold here right now to even think about sunscreen.

La Lune Naturals will email you an ebook with lots of great recipes in it to use your new zinc oxide in once you place your order and one of those recipes is for deodorant. I changed up their recipe a little bit to fit my own wants and needs but it was so much easier than I had expected. The deodorant is working great and I am now looking forward to warmers day so I can make and use my own sunscreen. If you are interested in purchasing some for yourself you can find it here La Lune Naturals Zin Oxide Powder When you purchase this Zinc Oxide powder from La Lune Naturals you will also receive a FREE eBook that contains 10 recipes for sunscreen, deodorants, rash creams and more!

La Lune Naturals Peppermint Oil Review and Giveaway


I love peppermint oil so much so you might could say that I am addicted to it. I get really bad headaches and peppermint oil really helps ease the pressure from them, I simple apply a bit to my temples and take a few long deep breaths from the bottle. Be careful to not get the peppermint oil in your eyes because that is no fun but when used properly peppermint oil is so relaxing and helps reduce tension. It also has many many other uses such as keeping away pest when applied to cotton balls and then sticking the balls in areas that the rodents or bugs may normally enter your home in. La Lune Naturals has a great quality peppermint oil that smells great and is not diluted at all. It also comes with a glass dropper to make it very easy to use the oil with out spilling it or pouring out more then is needed. If you are interested in trying this peppermint oil out for yourself you can order it here La Lune Naturals Peppermint Oil   When you order your peppermint oil from La Lune Naturals it also comes with a FREE e-book with with 20 recipes with multiples uses, including Headaches, Migraines, Facials, Depression and Anxiety Treatments, Spa Treatments and much more!

OZ Naturals Organic Facial Toner


   I have never really used toner regularly before, I have tried some a couple of times and did not feel they were working so under the sink they went to the beauty regimen graveyard. My skin has been dryer this winter than it ever has in the past so I was looking for something to do to help put moisture back into my skin. I do use a moisturizer but it was not helping enough on its own so when offered the chance to give this toner by OZ Naturals a try I figured I had nothing to loose but dry skin. The toner has a nice and light feel to it that makes you skin feel revitalized and fresh not oily at all which I was afraid it would be. I wash my face, use the toner and then put on the same moisturizer and I have noticed that the toner is somehow really helping my moisturizer work better than it ever has. I have also been using the toner before applying my makeup and my makeup goes on so much smoother now, when your skin is dry it is often still visible under liquid makeup but this toner helps make the makeup go on smother and since it is helping my moisturizer work better I don't have as much dry skin as I did to start with. I am sure with a bit more use of the toner combined with my moisturizer my skin will be nice and smooth again. If you would like to try this toner for yourself you can order it here OZ Naturals Organic Facial Toner

Fogless Shower Mirror by Cassani


Cassani Company has created a very handy fogless shower mirror that actually works! I like to use facial scrubs in the shower so my skin is nice and moist but it can be hard to make sure I am getting my whole face evenly without a mirror so I was really happy when I was asked to test this one out for Cassani Company. I had a "fogless" mirror in the past that was useless, it fogged up more than my regular mirror so I gave that one away and gave up hope of finding a mirror that actually could stay in the shower without fogging up. This mirror was very easy to install and took no time at all. I was excited to test it out and I discovered it really does stay fogless, even in the hot showers I take this mirror worked perfect and I could see everything I needed to see. It is light weight so if it were to fall it isn't going to smash my toes and it does not feel like it would shatter. I am looking forward to many years of using my new fogless mirror in the shower. The mirror also comes with a matching stainless steel hook to hang your razor on. If you are interested in purchasing your own fogless mirror you can find it here Cassani Fogless Shower Mirror

GrillFella BBQ Wok


This is The Original GrillFella! that I chose to review, it is a copper colored (available in other colors as well) BBQ vegetable basket wok with divider. The easy to remove divider makes it very easy to grill multiple items at once with out having them mix together.  Being able to use the wok makes it so much easier to grill shrimp and sliced peppers as well as other small delicate items without them falling threw the grill top. The wok has nice tall sides so that you confidently stir or toss your food without worry of it spilling over the side of the basket. The wok also comes with free silicone heat pads (a $12 value) to help you grab the handles of the basket or any other hot grilling tools without burning your hands. This is a great way to prepare the ingredients for all kinds fajitas on the grill, rather they be steak, chicken or shrimp. You can now precut everything to the size you want it so your cooking time is cut drastically and when you are done cooking it is time to eat and enjoy! And cleanup is super easy. The GrillFella BBQ Wok is the only Vegetable Grilling Basket Backed by our 1-Year No-Hassle Free Replacement Guarantee.

Oatmeal dog shampoo by OmegaPet

  
  One of my dogs, Snoopy has very dry itchy skin and we had taken him to the vet and were told it was not a medical condition just a case of dry skin so the doctor recommended an oatmeal shampoo that he actually made and sold. I figured if the doctor thought it worked well enough to put his name on the product and charge $20 for it that it must work, right? Nope! We used it for a few weeks to try and help replenish some of the moisture in poor Snoopy's skin and we noticed no real difference. I was kindly offered the chance to try this oatmeal dog shampoo by OmegaPet's in exchange for my honest review so I figured we could give it a try but my expectations were not very high since I had been disappointed before with the doctors shampoo. 
    My first impression of this shampoo is that it comes in a very nicely labeled bottle and is very eye catching. I like that the bottle is clear so I can see just what is in it and how much is left once I have used it. This shampoo smells amazing! It smells like vanilla oatmeal and I really love the smell. Can I get this in a hand lotion for me please? Thankfully Snoopy loves baths so I did not have to fight with him to try this new shampoo on him. I think he liked the smell also and it seemed to be relaxing for him, right after he got dried off he went to take a nap. After his bath he smelled great and his coat was nice and shiny and soft. It has been almost a week since his bath now and I have noticed him itching less and he seems more relaxed, itchy skin can be stressful. I really like this shampoo, from the packaging to the smell but most importantly the fact that it actually works! I love that this shampoo is all natural so I am not using any harsh and unhealthy chemicals on my babies. I think the combination of oatmeal, aloe and lanolin really help make this a great and effective shampoo. This will be the only shampoo we use on our dogs for now on! If you are interested in trying this shampoo out on your pets you can order it here on amazon OmegaPet Oatmeal Shampoo

      After much thought and debate I have finally decided to start my own blog. This will be a place where I will ramble about life and kids and pets. It will also be a place where I can share product reviews for items that I have had the chance to try out. There will probably be lots of talk about kids and dogs since they are two huge parts of my life. So stay tuned for what ever may be in store!
