The Best Advice a Tubby Turtle Can Get Review


MarksvilleandMe reviews 
The Best Advice a Tubby Turtle Can Get
written by Ayala Raz

The Best Advice a Tubby Turtle Can Get is a book about a Turtle that eats all of the time. Everyone wants to give him advice but no matter what he tried he just can't fit into his shell, so finally someone comes along and gives him some good advice. You will have to read the story to find out the rest. 

This is a very short book to read, even though it is short what was surprising is that it also includes a few child friendly snack recipes which are bound to be  the hit of the whole book. 

You can purchase The Best Advice a Tubby Turtle Can Get on Amazon.

DynaPro Direct Exercise Ball Review & Giveaway

This is a Guest Post Review written by Everything Home Life
DynaPro Exercise Ball Review FB Image 

 DISCLAIMER: I received this product in exchange for my honest review. All thoughts and opinions are my own. As I'm entering my third trimester of my pregnancy journey, I can't stress enough how important it is to stay healthy and to be physically active. This pregnancy, I've struggled since my first trimester with Symphysis Pubis Dysfunction (SPD). Most have never heard of this and some may experience it late in their third trimester. I've been going through extensive physical therapy as well as chiropractic treatment since I was 7 weeks pregnant to strengthen my core and pelvic muscles. Among the many exercises I do daily, having an exercise ball has helped a lot. In this review, I will outline the following points:
  • Choosing the right exercise ball and alternative uses
  • Product overview of the DynaPro Direct Exercise Ball
  • Advantages, disadvantages & my personal experience with this product
The right size exercise ball depends on your height. The shorter you are, the smaller the ball diameter size. Generally an exercise ball is the right fit for you if you can sit on the ball with your feet flat on the ground and have your pelvis, shoulders, and ears in a vertical line (not leaning in any direction). There are so many exercises and benefits to using an exercise ball while pregnant. These are fantastic for strengthening your core and pelvic muscles to get you ready for labor and delivery. Not only are these exercise balls great for prenatal daily use, but they're also used in yoga, pilates, and home gyms as well as an aid in pregnancy labor and delivery. DynaPro Direct Exercise Ball Product Overview
  • Made from durable, professional grade PVC Construction
  • Anti-Burst Capacity of up to 2000 lbs
  • Beginner to Expert skill levels
  • Perfect for Physical Therapy, Yoga, Pilates & more
  • Comes in two attractive colors: Pink & Silver
  • Comes with pump and two plugs
Exercise Ball Inflation Image Advantages, Disadvantages & my personal experience with DynaPro Exercise Ball When I got my DynaPro exercise ball I was initially disappointed with the packaging. The package itself was beat up and the contents were falling out. Obviously not the greatest first impression. However, once I put together everything and pumped up the exercise ball, I was very pleased. DynaPro Exercise Ball Packaging Image

 I love the way this ball feels grippy as its made with a durable, professional grade PVC so I'm not afraid of it slipping from underneath me whether I'm on hardwood flooring or carpet. I liked the fact that this ball came with its own pump and an extra plug making it convenient for me as I did not have a pump and would have to go purchase one. This exercise ball comes in one size, which means it was a little big for me as I'm barely 5'2. Although this didn't stop me from being able to do all the exercises I needed, plus my husband could use it as well. This product comes with instructions on how to blow up the ball with the given pump but there are no other instructions or other information about this particular exercise ball. Overall, I had a great experience with the DynaPro exercise ball and would recommend it to anyone looking for a durable, professional, multi-use exercise ball.

I have a friend who would bounce her baby to sleep while sitting on a ball like this. Not sure if she used it for anything else but it worked for her. I have a few balls like this that are still siting in their box, guess I should get them out, just afraid our kitties will poke holes in them. MarksvilleandMe wishes everyone who enters Good Luck!

Glow 2 Go Review + Giveaway



Being a mom I am always taking care of the family and making sure they have their sunscreen on. Sadly I am the whitest person in the family beside my oldest daughter. My arms are tanned from hours of driving, but the bottom half of me looks like a sheet. Other then bruising from my blood disorders I am pale as they come.

Every year I use a self tanner to get my legs up to the color my arms are all year round. I usually get a cream and mix it with my regular lotion for a even look. I don't like streaks, they just are not becoming. Luckily I have never had to deal with the orange look that everyone is always talking about.

With Thermlabs Glow2Go you take a wipe out rub it on where you need it wait 15 minutes to get dressed and then go about your day. Fast and Easy. You will see final results in about 4 hours. I checked my legs about 45 minutes after using it and you can see the different already.

I did one side of my body so you could see the difference. Here is my leg 24 hours later with only one application. Now to do my other leg, I will be summer ready in no time.  "No Fuss No Muss"

Habanero Salsa by SalsaCrazy Review




Our family just enjoyed some Nachos with cheese and Salsa from Salsa Crazy. It rate 9/10 on the Heat scale. I think I understand where Salsa dancing came from. Although the Salsa was hot it was not so hot that it damaged my mouth or lips, it was a short lived hot, so you can enjoy the heat and chips while not having to worry about long time effects. 

Salsa and Chips is one of go to snacks here in the house. My husband and children enjoy it much more often that I have. Our home usually has Salsa, cheese, and tortilla chips in stock. Would love to see this sold in stores. 

You can purchase Salsa Crazy Salsa on Amazon.

Below you can see how my husband serves up our snack.

Vilesto Ipad Mini Cover Review

Vilesto

With our children getting older, Christmas is a big time for electronics in our home. I received an iPad mini as part of the #StreamTeam. I loved it so much that I knew that apple would be the way to go for a tablet for our youngest daughter. Our grand daughter already has one and does quite well with it so when she asked for one and we found one for a great price under $200.00 with a 30.00 Gift Card we grabbed it up quick, stashing it away for Christmas. 

Picking out the cover was the next step, with little ones you want expensive gadgets to be protected as much possible. I ordered a great case with a keyboard but the two of the keys were missing so it is being replaced, thankfully the Vilesto iPad Mini Cover came in to take it's place. 

The Vilesto iPad Mini Cover came in a nice box easy for gift giving. The Vilesto iPad Mini Cover is real leather and is super easy to snap your iPad mini  into. My daughter actually likes this case better so when the other case comes back I will add it to the few cases I have for my iPad Mini or pass it along to my grand daughter. 

Below you can see it in a few different positions. 


You can purchase the Vilesto iPad Mini Cover on Amazon.

This case is stylish, light weight and low-profile, and it does not add any bulk to the Apple iPad
