Eco -Friendly colored Pencils





Recently I was able to try this set of colored pencils from ONME and the first thing that stands out is the packaging which is awesome, then the wooden sharpener, and last but not least the 48 colored pencils all with nice wooden cases.

I love the case because it keeps all of the pencils safe and sound between uses, and it look great pretty much anywhere you store it.

Great gift idea for artists, those who like to color, decorate journals, or even for children for school projects. Think stocking stuffer, gift basket filler.





This set of colored pencils can be found on Amazon.

Old becomes New


I have always wanted a portable record player. I remember my friends having theirs and being able to move it around from room to room, outside, or even bring it to another friend's house.

I had a record player and it was really nice it had disco lights on the bottom of it and it lasted me until I was a teen and I passed it on when I turned to cassette tapes. Wish I had help onto it but hey luck would have it that I would end up with my dream record player.

I love being able to listen to my old records from when I was little and a teenager. My middle daughter received one as a gift for Christmas as she is into the Beatles and pretty much all kinds of music from the 60's, so she wanted a record player to play all of the records we had bought her over the last few years.

Sometime old becomes new all over again, these are popping up all over the place. I love that this can also hook up to our iPods etc so we can also listen to the music we have in digital format, but nothing beats the sound of records. This even comes with a spacer for 45 records as well. Love this turntable and it would make a great gift for those going old again or for those who think this is new and have no clue.

This Portable turntable can be found on Amazon.

Keeva Organics Body Wash




The Keeva Body Wash with Argan, Tea Tree, and Coconut Oils feels like a treat on your skin. My body is not only clean but it isn't left dry. My skin feels awesome and I have only used it a few times so far.

I love that this has a pump so that I can dispense it easily onto my pouf while take a shower or bath. This also keeps my children from using excess amounts. Believe me they can go through a whole bottle in under a week but put a pump on it and magically it lasts longer which save me money.

I look forward to trying other products from Keeva in the future.

Keeva Conditioner




Every once in awhile I get to try a really great hair care product. The Keeva Organics Conditioner is one of those products. I love how my hair feels after using it. I would love to try their shampoo next for a total experience. I have been using it with our shampoos that didn't have matching conditioners in our home and have already noticed a difference in the way my hair feels.

What I love most is that this comes in a pump bottle so when I am in the shower I don't have to fumble around bottles, caps etc, while trying to was my hair. The pump also keep my children from using too much in their hair which save me money in the long run.

The scent is awesome and smells like Salon products, which makes the washing of your hair feel like a pamper session. Easy to use use a liberal amount and leave on for 1-3 minutes then rinse.

The Keeva Conditioner can be found on Amazon.

Mr. Sketch Scented Markers

This post was sponsored by Mr. Sketch® as part of a sampling activation for Crowdtap. I received complimentary products to facilitate my review.



My family really enjoys trying out new products, this time my girls were able to try out the 10pk Mr. Sketch washable scented markers.

They had me at washable. As a mom I love quick cleanups after art time. My daughter is currently in the rain phase so she adds it to everything. Of course with new markers comes the classic rainbow to try out the colors.

She is very happy with them and we both decided we liked the watermelon scented marker the best. We also like the smell of the black licorice marker but do not like the taste of the candy.

We both agreed we would like to see the yellow banana changed to something like Pineapple but of course these are just our ideas. This was the first time we had a whole set of Mr. Sketch at the same time. These are great for those just learning how to draw as well as those who have been drawing for a while. Not great for detail work being chisel markers though.

We love the Mr. Sketch colorful scented markers to take art to a new level.
