Fairies and Hearts

























What a great product. I have tried out several face paint kits, and so far this is the smoothest to use on my daughters face. I didn't have to fight with the paint at all. What I really love for my Vegan readers is that is actually Vegan which is great for those looking for something safe and fun to do with their children.

I really like how easy the paint was to use as well as how vibrant the colors were on the skin. This kit says it will do 80 face paintings. I am thinking it would do 80 from the templates it sends or your own creations about that size but I could be wrong. You don't need much paint at all because the colors are so vibrant.

You can see my video below.

Stay Hydrated while running or walking




Lately I have been seeing a lot of people walking and running with what looks like a fanny pack with water bottles attached, at first I thought they were weights, but later found out they were hydration belts.

Great idea for the avid walker or runner, even a hiker might find this useful. What I didn't like was how small this was. This barely fits my 12 year old who isn't fat at all, and fits my 7 year old fine but she is small for her age, so like I said in the video on my Youtube page which you can find here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sH7Dl5mhV5I, I hope these companies start making products for the average to obese person to encourage them to get out and be active.

This is great for both runner, hikers, walkers, sports, or even if you are out traveling so you have your water and money near by. The pouch is super roomy enough for your money, cell phone, and ID with a little extra left over.

You can find the Amsana running hydration belt on Amazon.

My most used baking dish






The most used baking dish in our family is our 9 by 13 glass baking dishes. We use them almost every day that we bake, from baked mac & cheese to brownies.

This is our go to pan and one I suggest be on everyone's registry list for their wedding. I like that this pan is not suppose to just shatter for no other reason then just shatter.

We have had this happen, thankfully no one was in the room when it happens but boy was there glass everywhere it took hours to clean it all up.




You can purchase this 9 by 13 glass baking dish on Amazon.


What Borolux has to say about their product.
Top Rated 9x13 Baking Dish

  • WHY TAKE CHANCES WITH OTHER BAKEWARE THAT CAN EXPLODE AND CAUSE SEVERE INJURIES?... Every other major brand of glass bakeware is made from soda-lime glass, a much cheaper type of glass to mass-produce that can explode during normal use. Consumer Reports has tested and confirmed that the best type of glass to use for bakeware is borosilicate. Borolux is made from our original and patented shatter-proof borosilicate clear glass formula.

    HIGHEST QUALITY INDUSTRIAL-STRENGTH BOROSILICATE GLASS... Borolux is made from the same material that laboratory test tubes and beakers are made from. Shatter-proof even at 650ºF, our rectangle baking dish is sturdy, durable and is designed to last a lifetime. Makes the perfect gift for weddings, baby showers, birthdays, anniversaries and any other occasion.

    INVEST IN PROFESSIONAL RESTAURANT QUALITY BAKEWARE... Use this glass baking pan everyday for chicken, tuna, and taco casseroles, lasagna, vegetables, roasts, turkey, hams, quiches, potatoes, gratins of all kinds and even for reheating leftovers! Serve elegantly and effortlessly from oven or microwave to tabletop. Its versatility makes it a great addition to any kitchen! The interior of the baking dish measures 6.5 x 10.25 x 2 inches and holds up to 3 quarts.

    CLEAN-UP IS EASY... Put in the dishwasher and you're done! Or you can wash in hot soapy water. Either way clean-up is a breeze!
No Other Bakeware Can Offer You Our Original, Patented and Special Formulation Of Heat, Scratch and Shock Resistant Borosilicate Glass! 

Scientific studies, including research released by Consumer Reports in their January 2011 issue, conclude that soda-lime glass bakeware can shatter or explode, even under normal everyday use! Borosilicate glass, in the same reports, did not shatter or break when subjected to the same tests. Borolux is the only safe and healthy bakeware made with our patented shatter-proof and break resistant borosilicate glass formula. 

When you purchase Borolux bakeware, here are some of the things you can look forward to: 

+ SHATTER-PROOF GLASS FORMULA: Borolux is the safe alternative to other brands whose glass bakeware has been reported to explode, causing severe injuries.
