MagBox Make MagSafe 2

We do not have a magnetic interface like the macbook so we were not able to use this but I have to say that this is a neat way to charge your devices. I don't know how many time my girls have tripped over a charging cord to send their iPod, iPads, or iPhones slamming to the floor, not to mention their laptops so I can sure see the greatness of this product.

I could not figure out how to use this for the items we already have but if you have a product that charges this way get one because this is a really smart design.

Great for gift giving, or just using for your own products. I love that this can be used on android or apple products.

The MagBox Make MagSafe 2 can be found on Amazon.

Purifyou

This is a pretty nice water bottle. Glass kind of scares me because with having children glass doesn't last too long, but this bottle has held up so far so it gets my thumbs up.

The silicone sleeve pretty much protects the whole bottle from light falls or fumbles. I love that if you want to really take a big gulp you are able to do that since the lid comes off, but I didn't like how small the mouth was. I can't put ice inside to keep my drink cooler longer.

Great for short trips or for use in your home. Comes in several colors and is great for both sexes.

The top even has a little finger hold so you can grab it that way or hook to a carabiner clip.


You can find the Purifyou water bottle on Amazon.

• IT'S TIME to purify your lifestyle, and change the way you drink water. Glass is 100% recyclable, and doesn't leach harmful chemicals or unwanted flavors into your water like plastic or metal.
  
  Our glass water bottle is reusable as many times as you'd like, and is entirely BPA free, Phthalate free, PVC free, lead free, cadmium free and worry free. Try finding that in another bottle. Plus, it's made from high borosilicate glass, which is more heat resistant than any other commonly used glass. Now you can save the planet and enjoy your warm tea too. Still worried the glass might break? Not so fast - our glass is the most durable in consumer retail, and with the added food-grade high-impact-resistant silicone sleeve for drop protection who knows what you'll be capable of (dropping from the 3rd floor of your office building is still not recommended though).
  
  Our lid and glass bottles are optimized for YOU. With just the right size between a narrow mouth and wide mouth, the lid is also quick to twist off and 100% leak-proof. Our silicone sleeve also acts as an insulator, keeping your beverage hot or cold for extended use. Making the perfect container, our glass bottles will also brave any weather conditions your home puts them through, because they're microwave safe, dishwasher safe, and freezer safe (do not overfill for freezer use though!).
  
  At an easy 7.5 inches tall and weighing in at about half a pound, you just might find yourself taking your bottle to all sorts of new places. From the yoga mat to those high profile business meetings, our bottle also looks great in your purse or with kids on the go.
  
  HELP SAVE THE WORLD TOO, because with every glass water bottle purchased, a portion of our profits is sent directly to building water wells for impoverished communities in Africa. Being a hero for those in need has never been easier. Each bottle sold separately.

Collapsible Travel Hair Diffuser

I was really excited to get this diffuser as an extra diffuser in case mine broke down but sadly it wouldn't fit my hair dryer. I have a ionizer hair dryer. I was able to snag my daughters  hair dryer that no longer worked and it fit that fine.

My suggestion is to make sure this fits your dyers. Since this is slotted for travel I guess it would fit on the smaller hair dryers including the kind you find in the hotel rooms.

I have a large hair dryer and it wouldn't fit it so that could be the reason why it didn't fit mine but fit my daughters which was for her to take back and forth to school when she was on the swim team.

I love how this is collapsible and also has nice rounded teeth so you hair does not get snagged while being dried. I actually hope to see this company come out with a larger one for larger dryers like mine so that it can be used by those who don't travel as much.

Great product for those who travel and want to keep their curls under control.

You can find this Collapsible Hair Diffuser on Amazon.


Whether you're trying to fit yet another styling necessity into a bathroom packed with beauty products, throwing your hair essentials into a duffel bag before spending a spontaneous weekend with your best friend or your best more-than-a-friend, or grabbing your purse and running halfway around the world to places where just finding a place to plug your hairdryer in is an adventure, The Curly Co. Collapsible Travel Diffuser is ready to go with you. The silicone construction is built to stretch and shrink to fit almost any hair dryer that you could possibly own, and the flexible material lets you collapse your diffuser into a flat, packable shape that slips easily into your bag or the corner of your overstuffed suitcase, so you'll always be able to carry the tools you need to keep your tresses smooth, springy, and styled. 

The best part of The Curly Co. Collapsible Travel Diffuser?! It comes with the one and only The Curly Co. Guide, which is full of awesome tips, tricks, and styling techniques that help you bring out the natural beauty of your gorgeous curls.

Dock & Bay

These towels are amazing. I was able to try out a striped in the large size and a plain in the extra large size. Love that they each come with their own bag to store them in. The striped towel sure fits with the beach scene, which is probably why Dock & Bay chose that pattern. Then the Extra Large towel we have from Dock & Bay is plain red but both of towels come in several colors and sizes.

Our striped towel is the large and measures 63 by 31 inches while the plain red towels which is the extra large measure in at 78 by 35 inches. The extra large towel is also great for yoga or pilates. These towels are super absorbent, light, and compact.

No more hauling huge fluffy towels to the beach and heavy soaked towels back. These towels dry ultra quick. You won't have to get a new towel for each dip in the ocean, pool, or lake, this will handle it all.

I wash ours in the washer and hang to dry, then fold and store away until their next use. So much easier with packing, and day trips to the water parks are a...well...walk in the park.

This micro towel can be found in two different sizes in several colors on Amazon.


What Dock & Bay has to say about their product.

You're off to the beach or travelling abroad. How bulky is that cotton towel? 

We know exactly how you feel. But it doesn't have to be like this 

Dock & Bay towels combine all the best features of a beach towel and a travel towel 

Absorbent. Lightweight. Quick Dry. Stylish. 

------------------------------------------------------- 

REALLY, REALLY BIG

- Extra large size 78x35in (200x90cm) covers your whole body 
- Large size 63x31in (160x80cm) for those loving something more compact 
- 220gsm suede microfiber for extra thickness, comfort and absorption 

MICROFIBER TOWELS WITH CHARACTER

- Bright, fun and fashionable beach cabana style 
- Folds up in seconds into a handy custom pouch, great for travelling 
- Handy elastic hook for hanging up off the ground

Fish, Fish, Squish

A few years ago I really wanted to get into reviewing games during our family game nights but most of what we already had were games almost everyone has not that I don't mind doing reviews on older games because I don't. We still enjoy playing them but I wanted to show my readers new games that they might not know about so now that I have a little more experience under my belt and more newer games to tell my readers about I want to start doing game reviews more often.

This week we played Fish, Fish, Squish made by Winning Moves Games. When I first opened it I noticed there was squish dough in four colors so I told my girls to grab some snack bags to store the dough in after the game but to my surprise this company had thought of everything and put in 4 plastic resealable bags for the dough to be stores in. First good score for our family. A second goes to the squishy dough because who doesn't like playing with dough?

This game is meant for two - four players with each picking out a dough color a fish mold (games come with 4) and a fish card to stand your fish on. Each person makes 5 fish. Then the oldest person sets up the game. Very easy to do.

Now for the squishing part of the game. You just flip one card at at a time and if you get three different color fish in a row you get to squish one of any opponents fish. The person with the most fish left when all cards have been turned over wins. We had to go into overtime because two of us had two fish left. My husband ended up winning.

This game is more for a child but my 13 year old and even my husband and myself had fun at 43. Like I said who doesn't like playing with dough.

Overall this game has staying power. If your dough ever gets worn out just replace with your favorite squish dough which you can find in just about any toy store. When you first work the dough that comes with it make sure an adult helps, it is a bit tough, once it is worked in it is soft and pliable though. Our family gives this game a thumbs up.

You can find Fish Fish Squish on Amazon.
