Live Clean's Foaming Holiday Hand Washes ~ #Review #Giveaway

Who has their tree up? You are looking at her! It has been one of my traditions to have the tree up in November.  I like to enjoy my tree for at least a month.  It is always nice to go through the ornaments I have collected over the years.  I don't know how many ornaments you have that were from your childhood.  I have less than a handful that survived over 30 years.

Live Clean’s Beloved Body Washes and Hand Soaps ~ #Review and #Giveaway

Wait a minute! I can't believe it is October already.  This year has flown by so fast that I am already thinking of wearing my winter coat...wait, I have!  The kids are back at school and my university student just told me that he just had a midterm.  University life is so long ago for me.  Now that things are slowly getting back to normal it is time for some fun.

Live Clean Deodorant #Review #Giveaway

So far, this summer had been a slow start but these days we have been getting some great summer weather.  People! I have to point out that no one should leave the house without putting on deodorant.  Especially this time of the year.  I remind my daughter every morning to put her's on.  On humid days, you will most likely to sweat...especially young teenage boys.  I have wanted to start handing out deodorants when I come across them.

Live Clean Argan Oil Collection ~ #Review #Giveaway

I have nothing but positive feedback ever time I use any the Live Clean products. One of my personal favourites is the Argan Oil collection. I love the sweet and nutty scent. It smells amazing when I’m using the body wash. My showers always smell yummy after I use it. It lathers up nicely and makes my body nice and clean. It is the same with the Argan Oil hand soap. It is very creamy and gentle and it does not dry out my hands. I love how my hands smells after using it.

Cleanse, Soothe and Soften Your Skin with Live Clean Body Washes and Body Lotions ~ #Review #Giveaway

My family and I have been using Live Clean over the years and they have become a staple in my household.  I use Body Washes all the time and Live Clean has a great selection to choose from.  They all lather really well and smell awesome.  The Fresh Water has a nice aqua smell, the Argan Oil has a sweet nutty scent, and coconut smells like...well, coconuts.  If you like the Body Washes, you will also like the coordinating Body Lotions to apply after your shower.  The best time to moisturize is within 3 minutes after your shower.  The Body Lotions have a light texture and will make your skin feel amazing.  I like them all but my favourite is the coconut because I'm obsessed with coconuts.

Shout! Factory The Boxcar Children - Surprised Island ~ #Review #Giveaway

I had no idea Boxcar Children are classic children stories.  Did you know there are over 150 books?  Did you read them when you were a kid?

In this DVD, the children had a choice to stay on the island by themselves with Joe and Captain Daniel for the summer.  You watch the children on their daily island adventures like fishing and exploring caves.  It is kinda interesting to see the kids very tame and very responsible.  If my kids were left on the island, they would run around like crazy and bicker at each other.  The movie is very calming and lighthearted movie.  Slowly, Joe has integrated into the childrens' lives.  But who is Joe?  Why is someone looking for him?  You will find out who he is in the movie.  I enjoyed the movie and I think your kids might like it too.

JĀSÖN Dry Spray Deodorants ~ #Review #Giveaway

It has been hot this year.  It has been so hot that my plants didn't survive and you don't ever leave the house without using deodorant.  Actually there is no reason why anyone would leave the house without any deodorant at all.  No one wants to smell bad body odor, especially in this heat.

GKIDS & Shout! Factory Presents Satellite Girl and Milk Cow ~ #Review #Giveaway

This is this a very odd, silly, and funny animated film.  It is a fantasy/science fiction with a touch of romance type of film.  It starts off with a satellite with an artificial intelligence floating in space.  It heard a music playing on earth that moved the satellite that it wanted to meet the singer.  When the satellite landed it stubble upon a magical battle and Merlin, the wizard, accidentally turned the satellite into a robot girl.

I am obsessed with Vichy Aqualia Thermal Rehydrating Collection ~ #Review #Giveaway

There is something satisfying about still getting asked for ID.  I try my best to maintain my skin and keep it young and healthy. I'm not lucky enough to have normal skin. It feels like my face is on its own category when it changes throughout the day. I have about 20 tips I could think of for ways to keep your skin looking a decade younger - short of getting Botox.  One of them is to keep your skin hydrated.  Hydrated skin will help prevent fine lines and wrinkles from appearing. Lately my skin feels more dehydrated than usual.  I couldn't wait to try Vichy's new Aqualia Thermal Hydration Collection.

Shout! Factory Dream Big: "Engineering Our World" DVD ~ #Review #Giveaway

Our world needs more engineers.  Without them, we won't have bridges and skyscrapers.  It starts with an idea or a dream and it is up to the engineers design them to make it happen.  This DVD shows what engineers have accomplished so far.

Live Clean’s New Foaming Hand Washes ~ #Review #Giveaway

We use a lot of hand soaps in my house hold.  I am constantly washing my hands.  I think we use about 1-2 hand soap pumps in a month.  My favourite type of hand soaps are the foaming ones.  I have noticed my daughters prefer the foaming hand soaps too.  I especially like to use the scented ones because they will leave a scent on my little ones hands.  Then I will inspect them to see if they washed their hands with soap by taking a sniff of their hands.

Live Clean Sun Protection #Review #Giveaway

You can call me the sunscreen police.  I am always asking if my kids have put on their sunscreen at school or whenever I am not with them.  I make sure my youngest always put on her sunscreen.  I have a collection of sunscreen I keep by the door.  There is no reason why my kids do not put on sunscreen before they leave the house.

Having Fun Learning with LeapFrog LeapStart #Review

Celebrate Dads and Grads with Hallmark #LoveHallmarkCA #myhallmark #Review

Two major events are happening this month - Father's Day and Graduation.  Hallmark has a great selection for great gift ideas for these two events.

It has been a few years but I have always wanted a Whiskey Rocks Set.  I always wanted to say "I would like whiskey on the rocks, please" even though I am not a whiskey drinker.  I am more of a vodka person.  Technically it is suppose to be on ice but literally on rocks is much more cooler.  If your dad is a whiskey drinker this is a must have.

Great Father's Day Gifts Idea ~ #Review Giveaway

I do find it harder to find gifts for the male in the family.  Over the years, the guys in my life now knows I will most likely gift them men grooming products.  I usually see guys purchasing only deodorants and never noticed anything else.  I think getting products that they need will be a great gift idea.
