ZIPIT Talking Monstar

We try to make school as fun as possible and one way we do that is by letting our children pick a few fun items out to make their days just a bit brighter when they are at school. The ZIPIT Products not only do that for the kids, but as adults we love them too.

Awesome colors that scream play with me, and they all have their own attitude which makes them super cute. We have several of the ZIPIT products and I just ordered a few more for my daughter for next school year.

When you see something fun like this you have to jump on it quick before they sell out and I see these going quickly. I love that they have a warranty. How many school products do that? Maybe a handful.

These talking ZIPIT pouches are neat and easy to get going by downloading the app  which you can find on their site and on the product itself. The best part is you don't have to be a kid to enjoy these. Bring a little fun back into your day by grabbing some of these.

Who couldn't smile when they open their desk and pull out a pen from one of these pouches. I don't think many could, I know I certainly can't. I go so far to make up voices and whole attitudes based on their expressions. Don't forget the monster noises we can't forget those. Keep it fun and stay young at heart as long as you can.

The Zipit Monstar pencil pouches and other products can be found here.

Copper Bottomed Tea Kettle





We have had a few tea kettles over our lives but I have to say this is the best one we have had yet. I love how heavy this is due to the copper bottom.

I have seen others say they have a copper bottom and they really just have what looks like copper paint on the bottom. This is actually a copper plate on the bottom.

This tea kettle holds enough water for everyone to have hot cocoa, tea, or even for my husband to boil water for his French Press Coffee Maker.

I love the handle and I love yes love again the trigger for the water spout. This is perfect for our families needs and looks great in our kitchen as well. I think I would be hard pressed to find a better kettle.

The Chef's Secret Tea Kettle can be found on Amazon.

Dinosaurs roaring to play




Even though it is just the girls at home now they like to play with dinosaurs too. My sons would have loved these when they were little.

My grand-daughter even loves dinosaurs. Especially the kind she can carry around and play with.

These dinosaurs are large but not so oversized that you can't take them with you to play with.
These dinosaurs are ready to play with right out of the box and in my 12 piece set I didn't have any doubles which I am pretty sure is for every box.

These are great for gifts, birthday party loot bags, treasure boxes. or even for sale in your store. I myself loved all of the different dinosaurs that were included. This would be a great present for any dinosaur lover.

Natural Shampoo



PriMiracle sent me several full size products to review for them and I am loving both of them. They do have more products like Conditioner which I would like to try out as well. 

These products are natural. The Shampoo which I am talking about on this post has Aloe Vera & Argan Oil. My hair is loving this shampoo. I only need a small amount, the scent is awesome, and it rinses well. 

I follow with my regular conditioner because I don't have the conditioner from PriMiracle to use with it. If the shampoo is this awesome I can only imagine what the conditioner would do for my hair. 

I love that there are more Natural products to choose from and sulfate free products since my daughter is allergic to sulfa, sulfites, and sulfates. 

PriMiracle Natural Shampoo can be found on Amazon.




What PriMiracle has to say about their product.

This is a natural shampoo. It's an excellent alternative to products that contain harsh chemicals.  Deep cleans hair and scalp without stripping the hair of its natural oils. Leaves your hair soft and smooth.

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.
