As someone who works with children, I was SO excited to get this to review. Puzzles are such a great way to learn and require no screen (so its even better). This also can be used for early literacy skills such as letter identification and letter sound awareness. The puzzles look just like the product listing image. The square puzzle has pieces that stick out so they are easy for children to take out and manipulate. The colors are nice too to provide some vibrancy to the puzzle. Under the block, it has a pictured image and the word written on it as well. Again--this is a great learning tool. 

The snail puzzle is flat and requires more maneuvering to get out--so definitely for someone who is a little older (or with adults help to remove and put back). This is clearly shown in the product images though, so I was not surprised by this.

It also comes with a bag which is really nice. I do wish the bag was SLIGHTLY larger because it is slightly too small to fit the square puzzle in, so only the blocks can go in it. It has a pull at the top to tighten it as well. 

Overall, very pleased with this and will be using this with the kids I work with.

I was very curious to get this to review. I have an odd bust size for my petite frame, so finding bras can be a challenge. Plus, I work with children so I want something that is comfortable for me to move around in. Seems like a tall order--so I was hoping this could be a real treat! What I liked about this right away was the fabric/texture of the bra. It was super soft and very light weight. The scalloped sides/edges are simply beautiful as well. I also LOVED that the straps were adjustable. Often my petite shoulders are too narrow for most straps and many do not adjust all the way to the point I need them too (first word problems, I know). Anyways, I tried this out for a day and was fairly pleased. I did notice that the band was a little too wide for me since it just comes in approximate sizes like small, medium, large, etc. rather than actual band and cup sizes. Consequently, the cups did not completely cover both of the areas they needed to (one kept slipping out). However, the comfort of this bra and breathability cannot be denied. Unfortunately, for the moving around I do at work this bra is not really an option. With that being said, I am DEFINITELY going to wear this when I am just out and about or on the weekend for some coverage without feeling restricted. Likely ideal for someone with a smaller bust. ​Fairly pleased overall. I posted a video of the bra (showing the padding and adjustable straps) on my twitter and instagram if you want to check that out!

I was interested to try out this product. I take some medications that cause increased fat in the hip and belly area, so I was hoping this could help bring this down. I also have some digestion issues and have some significant bloating after I eat, so I was hoping this would help with this. I got a size small, since I am petite and I am usually a small. This is all one piece so you had to pull it up from your legs and over your hips. This was VERY challenging to get over my thighs/hips because I do have some curves. Eventually, I was able to get it on my stomach and it felt secure but not too tight or uncomfortable. Since I am petite, the waist trainer was too long for me. It folded up on the bottom (as the bottom would be slightly around my butt) and fold down at the top (as the top would be below my bust). This may just be a challenge with me being petite and a narrow torso. I did not feel like this did much long term for my waist from wearing it but I did feel like my stomach felt better in regards to the bloating after I ate (minimizing the bloat). I was pleased with this characteristic about it! I imagine this would be ideal for those with a regular or long torso--just know you will have to pull it over your legs/thighs/hips to get it on (and vice versa to get it off). Since it does not have a zipper or button, it may look nice under a dress for a smoothing effect. Just didn't work for me due to my narrow torso. Have you ever tried something like this? How did you enjoy it?

I have had the opportunity to review multiple items/strips that require a urine sample. At that time, I used make-shift ways to collect the sample and ended up making a mess. These Easy@Home Sterile Urine Specimen Collection Cups with Lids- Large 90mL (3oz) Size - Pack of 5 containers work just as you would expect. The top of the container is open/large enough that it easy to get everything in the container with minimal-to-no mess. They have measurements on the side for your reference for the amount of liquid in them. The top also screws on and off and has a scratchy part to it which makes it feel more secure. It sort of reminds me of the rumble strips on the road. Giving you that extra sound and physical feedback so you know it is safe and a little jiggle will not make it come loose. As I stated earlier, this comes with a set of 5 cups of the same size. I plan to store mine under the sink for those opportunities when I need a sample (such as a pregnancy test, UTI test, etc.). Never know when you may need it so it is good to have. Overall, pleased with these cups. They were exactly as I would hope/expect them too. A good item/set of cups to have handy for whatever life throws at you.

As someone who stares at screens a lot for work and has my fair share of headaches, I was excited about the prospect of this product. I liked that the headband had a spot for my ponytail, was adjustable, and had different pouches to put cooling pads (that come with the headband). I made the mistake of putting the pouches in the freezer before they went in the headband, so they all froze in weird positions that were rather uncomfortable. I would recommend putting the packages into the hat and freezing them all together to help with this. Personally, I prefer heat when I have a headache but it did provide a nice cooling effect and it was nice to be hands-free with it too. A neat product for sure. I wish I could also make the packs warm but that is just my personal preference.

As a person who usually uses one, maybe two, products in my skincare routine, I was excited to try these out! I have been fortunate to only have occasional breakouts so my routine has worked fine though I know as I age, it will be more important to take care of my skin. What I really appreciated about this set is that it clearly outlines the steps and how to use each and every one. I have sensitive skin and did not break out using any of these products. 

1) Facial wash. This was a different texture (more creamy) than I am used to. However, I really enjoyed it. I ended up using WAY too much. A little amount goes a long ways with the cleaner. This also came with a grey protective cover on the top (that needed to be removed) to keep it nice and clean. 

2) Toner. Sometimes toner irritates my skin but this one did not. Easy to use. Definitely felt like my skin was dry after but it did not itch or burn much, if at all. 

3). Essence. I was not sure what this was particularly doing (as I have used other types of the products expect this one). It does have it listed on the bottle what it was doing but I could not particularly feel a difference. It did not sting at all. I tapped the bottle on my face then rubbed around my face with my hands. This step was fine but the least noticeable of its effect for me.

4) Emulsion. This was SO hard to get out of the bottle!!! I had to take off the top part and use my finger to scoop some out (after repeatedly trying tipping it upside down and tapping it to help gravity release it. However, once it was on, it felt really nice and nourishing! 

5)Target cream. This had the same covering as the first one (the grey tab you had to remove). It is smaller than the rest of the items but that makes sense. It did say that you could use it all over your face so I did that and had no stinging or irritation. I did notice that my pores all over my face looked HUGE after this...however, I am not sure if that was due to using this all over or not. 

Overall, my skin is clear and I experienced no stinging (which is rare with my sensitive skin). Directions and steps were easy to follow and implement. Pleased overall!

It has been interesting for me to see people drink similar amounts of alcohol but have very different reactions. Consequently, I was excited at the opportunity to review this product!

Overall, this is a fun and nice product to have. I tried this before I had alcohol and it correctly said 0%. Then I drank a wine cooler and right after blew (and got the red mark in the product listing). I was surprised by this and tried it again a minute later and it was around 0.34%.... Therefore, I think it best to not use RIGHT after having a drink for a false high report. The instructions are easy to follow. I like that they have colors when it's completed (blue if under/low and red for high). I LOVE that it comes with its own batteries. The tubes that you breath into are also individually wrapped, so that is really nice from a sanitary viewpoint. It also comes with a little bag that you can easily hold it as well as some of the wrapped tubes you breath into. Pleased overall! Easy to use.

I work with kids and many of them like to hold "fidgets" while we work. I am on the look-out for finding toys that are squishy (but not too squishy) to keep them focus and not distract them. These cats are the right balance of being 'squishable'. The back of the cats are flat and the front of them stick out. Consequently, some of my kids who have used these like to put the cats back-to-back so it makes it rounded on each side. They are fairly small (would prefer them to be about double the size) but the product image illustrated the size accurately. I would not give it to anyone who likes to mouth objects or may put it in their mouth, as it could be a choking hazard. However, for older kids these are cute and small fidgets that may help them stay focused while being cute at the same time. I keep them in the zipped bag they come in which is nice so I always know where they are. Fairly pleased overall.

Anyone who knows me, knows I am a huge dog person. I rescued my dog about 3 and a half years ago and made sure she has lived a life of safety and love (as well as of a queen) since. I have dog beds at my parents house as well as my apartment and am always looking for more...since she uses them all for her naps. 

Now my dog is 20 pounds, but she is part dachshund and likes sprawling out whenever possible. Consequently, I thought this jumbo bed was perfect for her. It was fluffy and allowed her to take up as much space as possible. 

When I took it out of the box and let it expand, my dog immediately started "fluffing" up the sides (see my instagram/Twitter video for evidence of this cuteness). I looked at the instructions and this was something they actually stated you should do! After that, I put this in the sun and my dog enjoyed laying in this in the sunshine. I also put it on my bed for her to have her area and me have mine, but instead she decided to crawl under the bed and partially next to me. The bed is lightweight enough that my dog could lift it up and easily get out when she wanted to go under it (must be her dachshund burrowing instincts) but I would be sure to watch your dog to make sure they could get out should they also like to go under things. 

All in all, I am very pleased with this bed. It is HUGE and can fit me in it (curled up in a ball) which is nice for anyone who has a bigger dog too. 

Very pleased with the quality of this. My dog loves it, and that is really the most important thing! :)

As I have gotten older, I have found a deep love and appreciation for compression socks. These are also cute which is a bonus. My sister-in-law collects socks so I have started to notice whether socks have an "appeal" to them and these are great fall every-day socks. They are professional yet I feel like they have a little bit of quirkiness to it (which I enjoy). Overall, these compression socks were good as I expected. They were easy to put on and felt snug/tight without feeling like I was losing circulation in my legs. I like to wear compression socks when I am going on long car or plane rides. I could put these on and then put my jeans over them and it worked well. Overall, everything I would expect and hope for in a compression sock pair. Very pleased.
