Natural Body Wash with Aloe Vera




Love the scent of this body wash. My body loves this body wash. My skin doesn't feel as dry as it was before. 

I have always had dry skin and have changed products many times over the years. I have used products that work and products that don't. I still try new products because you never know when the product that works will stop being manufactured.

I like that this has natural ingredients in it I do think the list is still a bit long but I from what I can see it is better then others I have used from the market. It has a snap cap which is easy to use while taking a shower or bath. 



What PriMiracle has to say about their product.

This is a natural body wash.  It's an excellent alternative to products that contain harsh chemicals.  It contains aloe and tea tree oil that will help nourish and clean your skin. Our gentle refreshing formula provides deep moisture while it nourishes and purifies skin leaving it soft, smooth and fresh.

Wild Republic Audubon Birds




I have never been a bird watcher before but as I am aging I can see why people enjoy it so much. Having always lived in the country I have seen lots of birds and learned quite a few of them but realized that I haven't really passed it onto my younger children. 

I think the Wild Republic Audubon Bird Collection is great way to teach children about Birds. These birds are cute, have realistic sounds, so good in fact that  my cats were attacking this bird at first thinking it was real. My cats are good hunters, sometimes too good. My kids have learned most of the birds by the carcasses our cats bring in. I wanted them to learn in a better way and this is a great way to do it. 

They have looked through the birds on the Wild Republic Site and have a few on their wish lists for Christmas and Birthdays. Some of my favorites are the Cardinal, Flamingo, Turkey, and the Bald Eagle. My girls love our Blue Jay, the cats love to hate it, and the sound effects are spot on. We had a Blue Jay outside our window so we pulled out our stuffed Blue Jay and the Blue Jay outside had a short conversation with him. It was fun for the girls to see. 

If you are looking for a way to teach your children about birds this is a great way. These even make a great gift for the bird watcher in your life. You can find these Birds and many more on Wild Republic here.

Glass Water Bottles



When I first think of glass water bottles I think of lots of broken glass, but these glass water bottles have lived up to the resistance on the breaking.

We haven't actually let one hit the floor from a far distance but they have been washed, knocked around during use, etc, and they are still intact, just not ready to let my little ones take these out on their own just yet.

I like that this comes with 6 bottles and a scrub brush that makes cleaning them super easy. I do wish it had a bigger mouth opening for adding ice to keep your drink cook but I am sure they can work on that next.

I love the tops and the way they screw on and protect the mouthpiece with a silicone linking so there is less breakage. These say they are freezer safe but as of yet I am not ready to test that but I am thinking about it to see if I lay it down and there is ice on the side of the bottle I can add a drink and it will stay cold for a while

Great for those who want to use glass instead of plastic, or steel. Easy to clean.

Briefton's Glass water bottles can be found on Amazon.

Knitter's Choice



I learned how to knit a few years back and I have been looking for a nice set of knitting needles with several sizes and a case to store them in.

I thought I would have to buy them all separately and piece the set together but this set has pretty much everything I was asking for.

The case is awesome and the fact that the needles are bamboo makes it that much better. I have fibromyalgia on top of other health concerns and this make it much easier to knit longer with out causing pain.

The case is awesome with having a magnetic closure along with a flap that covers the top of the needles keeping them safe from falling out during transport.

These are great for beginner or advanced knitters. Easy to use, smooth knitting, and 10 different sizes to cover most of your knitting needs.
