Storyland Yoga DVD Review


I belong to a very health conscious family. We are heavy promoters of children getting adequate physical activity in their daily schedules. This being said, I was beyond thrilled to find out that I had the opportunity to review the Storyland Yoga DVD by Playful Planet! In my opinion they accomplish everything that they are trying to accomplish with their product!


This DVD is suitable for ages 3-8 and perfect for families to explore yoga in a fun way! There are two different stories included "Save the Whale" and "Condor Trek". Children learn yoga and interact with the video by acting out parts of the stories and imitating the animals. Yoga is very beneficial for all ages and helps to clear the mind and focus. This is a great family activity and beneficial to all who participate. In my opinion, this is a great idea! With rising childhood obesity rates, we certainly need more products like this! I would recommend this to anyone with children. It is important to make exercise fun! 
You can find this product on their website or buy it on amazon.com for $14.99.

Myachi Review


I have a little brother who is ten years old, and he loves all kinds of toys. He especially loves his hacky sack! Needless to say, I was thrilled when I saw that Myachi was looking for people to review their product. The more I read about it, the more I knew that he would love it. I am sure that you all are wondering what exactly is this toy I am talking about... It is the Myachi Original Hand Sack!!






Here is their description on their website:


Catch it, kick it, flip it and stick it!  Do you review and blog about the latest toy crazes sweeping the nation?  If so, then you'll love the Myachi Original Hand Sack! Myachi combines the fluid hand motions of martial arts with the old school fun of hacky sack.  Simple enough for grade schoolers to get the hang of within minutes, the Myachi will also challenge the most skilled varsity athletes.




My opinion:
This product is absolutely perfect for any child. They are available in all colors and super fun for children of all ages. Their website has tons of tricks that kids can learn as they get better. The site is also very interactive and adds a ton to the product.

This is such an inexpensive, but great product that can be bought at their store for under $10!!
You can find them at their store! Follow them on facebook to learn more about their great product!

Click 'n Cook Review

Click 'n Cook is definitely the Essential Utensil! I was a little confused when I first heard about the product, but now that I have used it I wonder how I ever lived without it.  Imagine being able to change your utensils by just pushing a button, well it is possible! Does anyone else hate kitchen clutter? Here is the first step to getting rid of that mess! If there is one thing I hate while cooking, it is trying to figure out which spatula to use for what. I don't know about you, but when I need a specific spatula I can never find the one that I need when I need it. The click 'n cook keeps them all in the same place at once! These are just a few of the reasons why this is the best spatula ever! The inventor, Fred Ende, submitted his idea to Quirky, Inc about the Click 'n Cook because of the space issues he and his wife were having in their utensil drawer. In my opinion they have truly outdone themselves with their product the Click 'n Cook!



The Click 'n Cook has all of your spatula needs! It includes one storage block, one ergonomic handle, 
 and five detachable spatula heads:

*Classic flat spatula
*Long flexible slotted spatula (for cooking fish)
*Extra-wide slotted spatula (for flipping burgers)
*Flexible mixer (for mixing batter)
*Slotted spoon (for stirring pasta)

It also makes clean up a breeze! All you have to do is push the button over the sink and its already in the sink ready to be cleaned! No mess required!

My Thoughts:

I absolutely loved this product. I used it to make omelets and I couldn't even explain how easy it made things. I loved having everything right there as I needed to use the different types of spatulas. I also loved the way it seemed to shoot out when I pressed the button! It meant I didn't even have to be standing right over the sink to put it in! This product made it so easy to switch utensils at a fast pace in order to cook different aspects of the omelet in a speedy way! The Click 'n Cook would make a great mothers day gift, wedding gift, birthday gift, house warming gift, or a great treat for yourself!  Whether you are an experienced chef or just like to cook dinner at home this product is a must have!

Where to buy?

Right now you can find the Click 'n Cook at Quirky's website for the great price of $39.99. The Click 'n Cook is worth every penny! The Home Shopping Network agrees! This Saturday The Click 'n Cook is appearing on HSN for the first time, so be sure to check it out for yourself.
You can also check them out on facebook and twitter

Disclosure: I received the product above for the purpose of my review, and I would like to state that my opinions are 100% my own.

Valentines Smiley Cookies!


Are you looking for a good Valentines day treat to send to your sweetheart? I have got the perfect thing for you! These Heart Shaped Cookies are the most adorable and delicious treat that I have had in a long time! I am not in town right now, but as soon as I get home I will add picture of my little brothers enjoying these incredible cookies!


The best way to a persons heart is their stomach and what better way to make someone feel special that to send them Gourmet Cookies for under $15 a dozen! Seems like a great deal to me! Smileycookie.com also offers Gift Baskets and Cookies that are not holiday themed so that you could send these cookies just because you are thinking about someone... or you could just order some for yourself. My family thought that these were the best cookies that we ever put in our mouths and they were absolutely huge! I would definitely recommend this company for my sweet tooth needs!

Sand Gone Review


     Does anyone else remember going to the beach and playing in the sand? It is always so much fun, but can be so irritating to try to get all of the sand off especially after getting all wet while playing in the ocean. If only there were some type of product to help you get the sand off easier. Well have I got good news for you... there is one! Sand Gone is the only product of its kind! I cannot wait to tell you more about it!!


Here is Sand Gone's description according to their site:

Sand Gone is a dry body powder that when applied to sandy parts of your body removes the sand leaving your skin soft and smooth.  A must for beachgoers.  Works great after children after playing in the sand box. All natural ingredients smells like coconut.

My Thoughts:

My brothers and I tried Sand Gone by getting our hands wet then covering them in sand. We then used the applicator that came in the container and applied a small amount of Sand Gone... believe it or not the Sand Gone wiped the sand right off! Here is the best part... My skin was soo soft and smelled like coconut. I felt like I had just put some nice lotion on. My family loved this product, and will definitely be using it next time we go to the beach! This product would also be great for families that love to play in the sandbox!

I bet you are wondering how much a product like this costs. You can buy in on their website for the low price of $12.95 plus S&H. They also have a Sand Gone Beach Bag with the 8 oz family size, 2 oz individual size, sand gone almond coconut soap, and a display bag for $26.00 plus S&H. I would like to thank Sand Gone for the opportunity to review this product!
