IDigIt Dinos! Fossils! Rocks! Oh my! #Review

What a FUN product! Thames & Kosmos has these fun "digging kits" that we got to try with some friends for a Tryazon party. Please check out the T&K website they have SO MANY AWESOME products. Excavating with kids ages 5-12 was fun and interesting at the same time. Kansas was in the middle of a huge hot spell so we did all the digging in the house. We had mud flying with the five year olds but other than that it worked great to do them in the house. (It worked for the 5 year olds I just kept finding mud in weird spots :) kits are designed for kids ages 7 and up) This product is a bit messy but all we did was we had them do their digging on an old cookie sheet. Worked like a charm the mess mainly stayed contained and then they went and dumped the extra stuff out in the dirt behind the house when they were done. We were able to dig out a T-Rex, a T-Rex baby, one of the dinosaurs even glowed in the dark, gems, and shells. It was a great time and every kid really seemed to enjoy it. Each project took about 45 minutes and the cost on Amazon is around $13 through the end of the month I have a coupon code for them to ship them for about $10! If you are interested please let me know. Thank you Tryazon for another GREAT party to host with my friends and their kids. I love this T&K company and will be telling people who buy presents for my kids at Christmas to shop your website. 

I was given free products to share with my friends in exchange for a review of the products and hosting a party with my friends. So thankful for those who could help us enjoy the fun times!

May Freebies and Surveys and Giveaway

Well there was one point this year that I was caught up. Now here we are on July 4th and I am now finished with May- Ooops. Oh well I am busy living life and still needing to purge some emails at some point but for now here is what kind of month May was. Once again I LOVE Tryazon and getting to host parties with them I have had so much fun with them since I became a member. There is also a fun site if you are just wanting to get into surveys and don't have any companies that is pretty great. It is called Survey Junkie- I enjoyed it- making money very quickly and they paid in cash (paypal) and that is my favorite way to get paid. However I had too many other sites I enjoyed more and they send a lot of surveys so after I got to $10 also a very short threshold for cashing out, I deleted my account. I made ten dollars in less than a month so I highly recommend it for someone just getting started it was just too much of a clog to my inbox. I got to try a lot of sunscreen this month and had a problem with one of the products so I called the company and they replaced the bottle so I am giving away the new bottle of Goddess Garden sunscreen (I must be able to hand deliver it to you and will be in Meade later this month so almost anyone in Kansas can enter) This sunscreen is reef friendly which is a big deal now that sunscreens have been banned in Hawaii unless they are like this type! Here is a picture of the giveaway product

E-cloth Tryazon party

Have you ever thought that maybe it would be fun to have an evening of bringing people over to your house have them help you clean it and then end the night with cheese cake? Well my housecleaning dreams came true a few weeks ago as I hosted an e-cloth party for some family and friends. From their website- "E-cloth is a better way to clean and creates a healthier home for consumers and their families. The company makes a full line of chemical-free cleaning products that only needs water to pick up bacteria, dirt, and grime; no chemical cleaners needed. Using microfiber technology, proprietary equipment and manufacturing techniques, e-cloth products are over 99% antibacterial, meeting cleaning and dusting challenges across all areas and surfaces of the home." After getting to test these products as a group I was not disappointed- in fact I was very impressed with how well they worked. We cleaning my blinds, my windows, my countertops, my microwave, and moped a floor all in under thirty minutes. I was impressed with it all. My favorite product was probably the yellow dusting glove. I think I need two though and I can hand them to a kid and set them free to dust to their heart's content. I will be using this not only on my blinds but also on my ceiling fans as well! Such a great product. I love how easy it is to use everything, needing only water to watch stains and spots and grim just get picked up with hardly any elbow grease involved. 

Here is a picture of all the products our group got to try. I gave away the doggie bone bowl scrubber and the pack of rags in the bottom right corner. My second favorite product was the stainless steel cleaning rags (in the picture they are the gray stripped ones in the bottom left corner. I am pretty sure that my microwave has never been that easy to get clean. Literally spotless in under two minutes! So impressed! I am excited to make these a party of my daily cleaning routine. If you are interested in knowing more about this product please don't hesitate to ask and I also have a 20% coupon code that I can give out to anyone. Please just ask! I will post it here when I get home from our 4th of July trip. All products were given to me for free in exchange for me hosting a party and sharing on my social media sites all the words here (except for those shared in quotes) are my own.  

Rituals product review

When I found out that Tryazon wanted people to try the Ritual of Sakura beauty box they had me at the words "relax with ____" I applied a few days before the start of summer when the WHOLE family is home for three months. While I love this time, I also know there is not much relaxation. 

I was given a foaming shower gel, a shower gel oil, rice scrub, and a body cream. I loved the foaming shower gel and enjoyed using it is a shaving gel, it did a great job of making me feel like I covered my entire body with cleanliness and all the products have a pleasant scent. I enjoyed using the scrub on my knees and elbows- I don't typically use a scrub at this time of year because I like my tan to last! Which brings me to the shower oil. It tells me that with use of the oil my tan can last 4-6 weeks longer. Um YES! I will be saving this for August so that I can stay darker longer. I really enjoyed this box and how it was supposed to be a relaxing box. The price is right for those who want to give it as a gift $25 for the set. I thought that was very affordable for a piece of comfort and relaxation in my own home. 

Thank you Rituals and Tryazon for my free sample of your product. All the words listed here are my own. 

Lays Kettle Cooked Chips Review

Summer is crazy at our house- all six of us home for almost three months, this means a lot of meals are needed. We go through food so fast- and chips are a staple at our house because we eat lunches of sandwiches, chips, fruit, and yogurt on most days. It was fun to get to try the Lays Kettle Cooked chips for free from MyMagazine Sharing. I was a bit disappointed since the flavor we were given was original because I just don't like original potato chips however my kiddos ate these up in a hurry. I do love the Lays brand and have the kettle chips re fun to eat because they have the added crunch I also like how the chips actually look like thinly sliced potatoes. Thank you My Magazine Sharing for the free sample I received all the words here are my own.  

Goddess Garden Sunscreen #Review

Summer is upon us! Here in Kansas we went straight from winter to summer somewhere missing out on spring so I have seen a lot of people with sunburns. OUCH! As a family who spends so much time outside sunscreen is an important part of our life so when I saw there was a chance to host a sunscreen party I knew we had to take part. Goddess Garden was created by parents that had sensitive skin this sunscreen also doesn't harm the coral reef which is super cool but probably won't help most of us in Kansas :) The product does a great job of keeping people from getting burnt. The one thing I had to learn was that this was different than most sunscreens in how it is applied. It can leave a white film on you if you are not careful. People with darker skin need to use the green tubes- which I didn't know until too late for a few people. I like the variety of products involved- facial, moisturizer with SPF, zinc sticks and more. Thank you Goddess Garden and Tryazon for sending me this product to share with my friends and family. For some reason one of the sunscreens I received separated- I contacted the company on FB and they sent me their 800 number I talked to Tyler for about a minute and he is sending me a new product in the mail I thought the customer service was stellar!

April Freebies and Giveaway winnings

I may edit this yet and add a prize but for now I am just glad I got to the end of April before June started. I am not able to keep up anymore and I am not making a lot of money because I just don't have time which is fine I fit it in when I can. This month the big new one is mypoints.com. They give you points for surveys, polls, shopping, It takes awhile to cash out but I have been spending about five extra minutes a day on the site now and it is really helping my points to add up. TMBI is a site I haven't figured out if I like yet- you get points each month and the top 50 people who interact with the site get a $10 gift card. Somehow I got on with them since I get the Taste of Home magazine. I may or may not make that part of my future plans! For now they are staying.
