Peppa Pig Girls Summer Evening Party Dresses 5/6Y

 

I checked the sizing chart first and my daughter was still too big for this dress at 5.5 years old. It is too snug (not that she cares, it’s got Peppa on it.) I’d say it would fit a slim 4 year old on down. My daughter is very tall and very slim for her age, so it won’t fit any kids that are chubbier without sizing up. Other than that, it is well constructed, and the appliques are sewn on tightly. The dress itself is very cute and well made, just make sure you check sizing!

NatureWise Garcinia Cambogia Extract

This is a great pure form of just garcinia cambogia. It does work better when it is combined with other supplements to make it more bioavailable, but I’d just recommend taking twice their suggested amount. It just isn’t going to work by itself, or at such a low dosage. Garcinia is a pumpkin like fruit that was proven in an animal study to help rats lose weight and fat. It’s been a popular supplement for many years. I have tried several different ones, and I prefer ones with extras, but if you’re looking for pure garcinia, this is a great choice.
Taking garcinia cambogia regularly, as well as following a ketogenic diet and working out regularly, I have lost almost 15 lbs in 2 months, after not losing weight after 3 kids. It was the missing piece to my puzzle.

Premium Garcinia Cambogia Extract 1000mg

This company knows it’s supplements. Garcinia cambogia is so much more effective when taken with calcium, magnesium, and phosphorous salts. It makes it more bioavailable (basically means it works a heck of a lot better!) These are odorless, tasteless, and as easy to swallow as any pill. They have a great manufacturing process, and I know garcinia works-I have been taking various forms of it for over 2 months. Since getting stricter with my diet and exercise, I have lost 15 lbs in 2 months. It won’t work by itself, no supplement will. You must do the work, not expect a pill to be magic.

 

Activa Naturals Magnesium Citrate Supplement

I take a magnesium supplement because most people are deficient in this mineral. Being low on magnesium can cause tiredness, fatigue, sore muscles, and more. I am a mom of 3 and under constant stress. Magnesium citrate works GREAT for stress and anxiety. As long as I am regularly drinking this, I can definitely feel a difference in my body and mind. If I’m not regular with it, it doesn’t work as obviously. It tastes great and is easy to use. This is a drink/supplement everyone can benefit from, even children.

RAWR!

Oh my gosh you guys! We have been moving for the past few weeks and we are finally, officially done at the last place! So no more sparse reviews and lack of fun posts-look for a lot more action.
First, check out this super cool game that had my kids going nuts since I’ve basically ignored them for 3 weeks, and they loved when we sat down together. They’re also REALLY enjoying living next to a playground.

12 Large Jumbo 5-7 inches thick Animals Dinosaurs Toys plus Trivia Dinosaur Games with a Board Mat & an Educating E-Book

The most fun thing my kids have gotten in my reviewing career…

My kids knew this was coming and anxiously inspected every package. When it finally arrived, they were so stoked (no video, sorry, I’m on a free account but feel free to check out the game and find my video there) I had to caution them to slow down so we didn’t destroy the box. The box is annoying to thread the handle back in and put it together-even my 7.5 year old needed help with that.

Buy this more for fun and reading the ebook than for the game. The questions they ask are difficult and dry and honestly not much fun for kids this age (which I assume the game is for, because it’s way too simplistic for anyone older than 9 or 10) What we did instead of reading the given questions, was read a small selection from the dinosaur chosen, and then I made up my own questions and changed the difficulty depending who was answering (the 3 year old had to name 2 dinos, for instance, while the 5 year old was asked about diet and habits, and the 7.5 year was given more dry, but still interesting to him, questions.

As far as the figures, they are fantastic and well made. My kids immediately split them up and kept their favorites. Days later, they’re still playing with the figures, but pretty uninterested in the game itself.

Pink wireless keyboard (needs USB plugin)

This came in a nicely packaged box. I hadn’t realized from the description that it also has a clear silicone cover protecting the actual keypads. I really like that feature-it keeps the keyboard keys clean AND protected from spills that would fry or sticky up a keyboard. The only downside to me, and why this is just going to be a backup keyboard in case my current one dies-it doesn’t have volume control or mute buttons on the keyboard, and those are a necessity for me, to make it easy for my children to control the volume when using the computer for screen time. I love it’s color, it’s easy to set up, and the keys press smoothly.

 

PREMIUM Veggie Garcinia Cambogia Extract with 60% HCA – PURE 500mg Capsule can aid Weight Reduction & Appetite Suppression.

Garcinia just doesn’t work well alone, especially with this low % of HCA. If you combined it with calcium, potassium, or magnesium salts, that keeps it from degrading and makes it more bioavailable, so you’ll want to add that to your cart as well. You have to have the right dose, and take it at the right time to reach true efficacy. The pills are easy to swallow, odorless, and tasteless. They are manufactured in a high quality facility, and are vegetarian-important for many people I know!
This is not a miracle pill! You MUST exercise AND change your diet to see results. It is a tool, nothing more.

 

The packaging and labeling are unimpressive, don’t let that dissuade you. I haven’t had this for long enough to see if it’s made any difference yet-most supplements take 3 weeks or more of consistent use to make a noticeable difference, so I’ll update in a few weeks if I do notice anything or not. This is reported by many trusted sources to have a beneficial effect on sexual libido and activity. Perhaps my husband is already virile enough that it’s not going to help him (there are a few supplements we have tried that do, however!)

Weightless garcinia mix supplement

 

It has the right mix of ingredients to work. It’s made in a GMP certified facility with no fillers or additives which is super important to me. However, compared to other garcinia mixes I have used, I don’t think this is as effective for me. I have an apple body shape and 3 children, and follow a fairly strict ketogenic diet. I didn’t find any real appetite suppression with this one, but I was moving while taking it and highly stressed so that could have affected it’s efficacy.

 

Sandalwood beard comb

I bought this as a gift for my hairy, bearded husband. It came in a lovely box. You can smell the sandalwood through the box, but it’s not overpowering. The comb is thick and sturdy and my husband says the tines are set just far apart enough to be perfect. It smooths his beard nicely and leaves a little whiff of smell. It helps keep the mountain man look to a minimum and keeps you looking well groomed.

 

Perfaction massage ball

 

I am a big fan of mobility and Starrett. If you haven’t yet, check out his supple leopard book-it will change your life. I have sticks and balls of all types for myofascial rolling. This is the largest of my balls,and the least firm. It is PERFECT for your shoulder, a spot I never have any luck with rolling. It’s also great for any area that needs release. It’s well made and seems durable.

 

RFID blocking wallet

My husband loves this wallet. I initially got it for myself but he liked the design so much he took it! It’s compact, which he loves, as he carries his wallet in his front pocket rather than the rear. The zippered compartment is a rare, but handy addition to men’s wallets. It seems to be of good quality and fairly robust. He thinks it will hold up well to pocket abuse. It blocking RFID scanners is a huge plus as well for such an inexpensive wallet. #eerreviews #gotitfree

Herbal testosterone

My husband has done extensive research on testosterone and libido enhancing supplements. He assured me every ingredient in this herbal t have been proven over and over to have great effects on men. To get the best benefits, you really need to be having a healthy diet, plenty of sleep and regular exercise. Supplements alone can’t fix a problem 100%. You will see some results just taking it, but not as effective. The pills are odorless and tasteless with no aftertaste.
My husband reported strength gains in the gym, as well as feeling harder and fuller when erect. The benefits won’t last if you stop taking this supplement. He says to tell all the men out there- which one of you wouldn’t benefit from a testosterone boost? This is worth every penny.

lighter supps and flags

Garcinia 50% HCA

Garcinia supplements are everywhere. I’ve tried several myself at this point, and haven’t noticed too much of a difference between brands. This one has less HCA present than other brands, but it contains no additives or fillers, and it’s one of the cheapest out there. I would recommend taking double the amount recommended, and on an empty stomach BEFORE eating! Otherwise the HCA is not going to be bioavailable and you will not see any results. I have been taking this for a while with a ketogenic diet and working out with heavy weights regularly, and I am losing weight, where before just exercising was not showing any results.

 

Prayer flags-wisdom, fortune and good luck

from the title description, I thought I would be receiving many more flags than I got. Each is just a short chain of 10, and you get 5 total, which isn’t a great deal for the price. I am going to tie them together to make one long flag chain for my house. It serves it’s purpose, and they are made of a durable fabric, so hopefully they will last longer than my last set. Can’t live in Asheville without a complete set of Tibetan prayer flags!

 

Chrome lighter

It’s a cheaper version of a Zippo. What you see is what you get, classic style refillable lighter with cotton wick. It is easy to fill and lasts a decent amount of time before needing a refill. It lights quickly and easily almost every time, and is easy to turn off. It’s not as sturdy or robust as a Zippo, but it is a great, seemingly dependable lighter for a cheap price. It’s better for the environment than cheap plastic butane lighters as well.

Bye bye belly fat!

100% Pure Live Garcinia Cambogia Extract Weight Loss Supplement

 

The pills are odorless and tasteless and swallow easily. I’m a wannabe powerlifter that also wants to cut fat while maintaining muscle, so I’m trying a lot of different supplements. All the big name celebrities are using garcinia cambogia especially to target midsection fat, which is the only area on my body containing fat at this point (hey, I’ve had 3 kids and I like to drink) so this seems right up my alley. I’ve been following a ketogenic diet in addition to exercise and supplements, and I’ve lost significant weight, especially in the midsection. It’s a completely organic pumpkin-shaped fruit native to Indonesia – scientifically proven to tear away fat from you body. In studies by renowned health research institution UCLA in Los Angeles – Pure Garcinia Cambogia was proven to ignite your metabolism and your body’s hidden fat burning capabilities by 318% when taken regularly. Yeah. It’s worth a try!
I received this for a discount in exchange for my honest super fitness wannabe mom body opinion.

^I take these in the evening so I don’t have the caffeine boost. I take the ones below in the afternoon to get a boost. Supplements will NEVER work on their own, despite claims that they will. Your nutrition is most important, exercise is secondary.

 

 

Garcinia Cambogia Extract And Green Coffee Extract

Better than garcinia cambogia alone! I’ve done a lot of research on garcinia, and along with a ketogenic diet and a strong exercise regimen, this supplement added to my supplement stack has made a noticeable difference in actual fat loss, without losing muscle. My muscles are coming to life from under their layer of fat! The additional ingredients are all proven metabolism boosters and fat burners. I did get an energy boost from the coffee, so I wouldn’t take this if you’re sensitive to caffeine products. For me, a busy mom of 3, I’m constantly exhausted and it was a great boost. They have great ingredients and no fillers, which is important as I live a pretty natural lifestyle. I don’t know if it suppressed my appetite at all, because with my diet I always feel satiated.

LCD Touch Screen Replacement for iPhone 5S

It is so hard to replace the screen on an iphone 5s. I’ve tried a few times on my own and even taken it somewhere before, where they ended up screwing up my buttons, so why would I keep paying $100 when I can buy my own kit? This is the best quality kit I’ve found for iphone screen replacement. It wasn’t too hard to use but you should be somewhat knowledgeable about electronics. My screen is 100% perfect, just like it was when I first bought it. (This is not something I was chosen to review. This is a purchase I made for myself.)
