Dream Dots

I wasn't most teens I didn't deal with breakouts unless you count the one I get every month around my cycle, other then that I have been acne free. On the other hand my children who have a bit of their father in them each had their own bought with acne, some worse then others. My daughter  who can sing no problem for YouTube really wanted to do this video but put it off to the last day to turn in my post. 

See here in Marksville everyone tries the products out that are meant for that age or gender and then they tell me how they liked it what could be better, etc. This is one of the products my 18 year old was generally excited to tell me just how great it works. 

This was an easy to use and product that does what it says it will do, which all of love to hear because that means it is worth handing over the dough for.

Do forgive the rough video but like I said it was her first one where she isn't actually singing or in the background talking. 






You can purchase Dream Dots in two sizes on Amazon.

What Dream Dots has to say about their product. 

A Dream Dot isn’t simply a sticker — it’s a unique super absorbent hydro matrix patch. It targets spots and breakouts overnight using no harsh ingredients, yet gives dramatically effective results. With a 100% waterproof, breathable, satin-smooth, wafer-thin surface, it acts seamlessly as a second skin, conforming to any contour of the face. On contact with the spot, the patented core locks in and absorbs the spot exudate. A moist healing environment is formed, maintaining ideal pH balance, temperature and hydration levels while sealing in repair factors, which leads to faster healing. Pain is reduced as nerve endings are cushioned and protected in this moist condition. The patch swells and turns white overnight as it absorbs exudate giving a visible reduction in redness and inflammation when removed in the morning.

Awesome Headphones that are affordable.



Recently I was given the opportunity to work with a great company that makes products that work well and are affordable. As a mom I really can not get over how much headphones are and how often I have to replace them for my children because they wear our, get lost, or they are stolen.

With Flow from Sentey I don't have to worry about giving up too much money or buying something that is just going to break down on our family fast. People may still try to steal them and I wouldn't be surprised to see these become a new favorite of many on the money savings alone.

These were easy to open as you can see in my video review on YouTube under MarksvilleandMe. Easy to set up and yes I now know how to turn the volume on my iPad Mini. Really I am still learning how to use some of the technology.

For parents of children, teens, or even for yourself, you will be pleasantly surprised by the quality. Now to order some more to put them away for my girls for Christmas.

You can purchase these headphones on Amazon.

Premium Organic Peppermint Lip Balm SPF 15



Ever since I was young I have always liked lip products. Probably because it was the first kind of make up I was allowed to wear. It didn't matter if it didn't have color, just as long as my lips were soft and didn't chap I was happy.

With most beeswax lip products I find that they are way too waxy as in you can scrape the wax off of your lips waxy.

ABCD Vitamin Premium Organic Peppermint Lip Balm  with SPF 15 is smooth, silky, and comfortable. Not waxy. I really like this and if you get a chance to see my video you will know my girls like it too. They couldn't not wait for me to give them the OK to grab one for themselves.

Organic Seaweed Powder for Youthful Skin

As most of my readers know I really like to do facial masks, and I am thinking about delving into body wraps once I get the OK from my Dr. that is. Until recently I just bought the premixed facial masks, but I have to say that I am happy with the results of Powdered Seaweed.

With Azara Organics it is a one to two ratio. One power to two parts water. In the video below I use 1 teaspoon of powder and two tea spoons of water. I also added in 5 drops of  Peppermint essential oil, you might want to try 3 drops at first to make sure that it is not too strong for you.

I left on for 15 minutes then washed off with a cool washcloth, following with a facial moisturizer. My face feel silky smooth. So powder is the way to go for me from now on when I purchase facial masks.

You can purchase this Organic Seaweed Powder on Amazon.

3600 Piece Glow in the Dark Loom Band Set 6 Colors


Most children and even some adults have gotten in on the Loom Band craze, including my children, and I have to admit if these had been around back in the day I would have loved to make these.

Now I haven't actually made a bracelet yet but my daughters have. We have learned the hard way that all bands are not made equal. Some are way to large and cheaply made while others like the 3600 Piece Glow in the Dark Loom Band Set are perfect.

Plus this set is glow in the dark. Think 4th of July Sleepovers, Camping. The kids will have a great time and you will be able to see where they are. My girls are very excited to be able to make and wear some of these over Summer vacation when we go on a few road trips. I know they will be busy and happy making bracelets, necklaces, and anything else they imagine.

As a mom I also like that this comes with a book so that my girls can see some other ideas they might want to try. Now if only I can steal away a loom long enough to learn how to make them myself.

You can purcahse the 3600 Piece Glow in the Dark Loom Band Se on Amazon.
