L'uvalla Orange Toner Review (Holiday Gift Guide)

I am always trying to find new products to use for my face. I recently was able to try a new product which I was very excited to be able to try. L'uvalla is an eco friendly skin care company that operates with the ideal commerce with a conscience. This company believe in the highest standards for their products. L'uvalla products are vegan and organic with no synthetic ingredients. 

 I recently was able to review their Orange Toner. When I opened the package today I did not know what to expect. The bottle was bigger than I expected. It comes in a 6.7 fl oz bottle. It reminds me one of the old fashion bottles that my mom used to have in her room. When I opened the bottle to try I always notice the scent and that usually will break or make the deal. This was a faint orange smell that was not to strong. With this product you will need to know a little goes a long way! Which is great to know. This bottle will last you a very long time. When you apply the product you use a cotton ball and rub gently on your face. I have a dark spot on my forehead and after using this product for several weeks I have notice improvement with this product. The only con about this product is that if you have not used the whole bottle within three months you are recommended to throw it out. This product is only good three months after you open it. That would be the only downfall to this product. 

 I would recommend this product if you have dark spots or sun spots that you are trying to get rid of or less noticable. This would be a great time to invest before the holidays. Why not look your best? Holiday's are creeping around the corner. You can find L'uvalla on 

FACEBOOK and TWITTER

Disclosure: I received the one or more item for r review purposes. I was not required to write a positive review and my opinions remain my own.

Bugs in the Kitchen Game Review (holiday Gift Guide)

 In my house if you and you mention a bug my children would start screaming. When I recently introduced my son to the game Bugs in the Kitchen I was not sure what reaction I would get from him. When I tried to explain the game and that i was not real bugs he started to ease up a little bit. He was skeptic at first and not quite sure. 

When we received the game Bugs in the Kitchen it was a pretty neat idea. It came with a pesky HEXBUG nano. This bug was scattering around the game board. It was pretty cool. My son thought it was awesome and he jumped right in. This game is easy for children to get the concept of playing it. The object of the game is to trap the HEXBUG by turning knives, forks and spoons that can direct the bug into the trap. When it is your turn you will throw the die to figure out which utensil you can use for your turn. If you catch the bug on your turn you will earn a token. The first player who collects 5 tokens will win that game. This game is recommend for age 6 and up and for 2-4 players. 

 When we played this game it was a lot of fun. It is one of my favorite games. You will never know what happens and it easy to play. At first it took us awhile to trap a  bug, but shortly after getting used to we were pros on catching the bug. Of course my son always beat me at playing games. He kept wanting me to play play and play this game. I believe that it is one of his favorite. This would also be a great game to hide underneath the Christmas tree for your child this year. 

You can find this game at your local target or you can also find it at amazon.com Right now if you buy this game at target you can get it for 19.99

This series is fun, new, fresh and entertaining for small children. The episodes include A Royal Mess, The Shy Princess, Blue Ribbon Bunny, The Princess Test, Two to Tang (Jasmine Episode.)

I feel comfortable and am glad that my children like this DVD. Great family entertainment.

Johnson's Baby Products Review

The holiday season is coming around the corner and I have found the best gift for expectant mother and new mothers. I would make a gift basket filled with Johnson and Johnson baby products. Recently they came out with a few new products and also have my old time favorite products. 

I am always debating around Christmas time if I should buy friends/family who are expecting a present for their baby. I usually end up putting together a small gift basket full of goodies that they can use for their baby when they are born. I recently received several products from Johnson and Johnson that would make perfect gifts for the gift basket for expectant mothers.  

The first product that would go great in babies gift basket is Johnson's baby powder. This product was always a must have for me with both of my children. Their baby powder comes in a 22 oz container. I always loved using Johnson's baby powder on my son and daughters skin not only did help absorb extra moisture it also helped keeping my children smelling fresh. Their baby powder is hypoallergenic, dermatologist and allergy tested formula. I have been told by my home nurse that baby powder is dangerous for a baby. It can be if you are using it wrong. If you put to much on or shake it out your child may inhale the powder and it can cause breathing problems. What I also do with my two children is turn away and put in my hands and then apply to the skin. 

The next item that would be great for a babies gift basket is Johnson's baby lotion. Their baby lotion come in a 11 oz bottle. I am safe to say when my children were babies Johnson's was the only baby lotion that I used for my children delicate skin. I loved the scent to the lotion and how relaxing the lotion made my children feel. Did you guys know that baby skin looses moisture faster than adults skin? Johnson baby lotion is clinically proven mildness formula, pediatrician tested, dermatologist tested, hypoallergenic and is gentle for sensitive newborn skin. My daughter suffers for eczema and Johnson's baby lotion is one of they only products that help keep her skin moisturized and left feeling smooth with no irritation. When you use this product you want to apply to your child body and rub it in until it absorbs. I usually take small amounts and rub in a circular motion until all is absorb. I tend to use this product after bed time and works like a charm and help relax my children. 

Johnson's baby wash clothes are great to put in the babies gift basket. These are a must have and come in handy. These are newer products that recently came out. I received two different kinds of baby washcloths. One is their Johnson's baby head to to washcloths. In this specific box it come with 14 disposable washcloths. How to use the washcloths are very simple you fir moisten the washcloth and lather by rubbing gently between your fingers. Than wash your babies hair an body. Gently rinse your baby with the washcloth, diluting the wash formula with more and more water. Than of course after using the washcloth dispose in the trash. I would not recommend reusing them. I would recommend keeping a box of these on hand in your diaper bag. I know at time these would come in handy if my daughter had an accident while I was out. I could use one of these wash cloths to wash her up! The second box of washcloths that I received were their Johnson's baby bedtime washcloths. This box also comes with 14 washcloths inside. These are a little bit different from the others. This is a bedtime wash cloth where the formula helps your child relax after bedtime. You use this product just like you would the other washcloths also. I actually tried on my daughter and it helped her relax a little bit and not get wound up like she usually does. This would make a great item in a babies gift basket and also is a lifesaver for new mom and moms in general. 

The next must have product for your babies gift basket is their Johnson's baby head to toe wash. This comes in a 9 fl oz bottle. What is great about this product is you can wash your baby without worrying about hurting your child's eyes. There are times you can not prevent getting soap in your babies eyes. I know washing and rinsing my daughters hair is a nightmare and I am always getting soap in her eyes on accident. With using Johnson's baby wash it prevents burning eyes and is tear free. I love the scent of the soap nice and soothing and perfect for you babies bath. I have used this soap for both of my children's bath. 

Another great product if your child has dry or sensitive skins is their Johnson's baby oil gel. I wish I knew about this product when my daughter was a baby because it would come in handy. I use this product on her now and it help lock in the moisture in her skin. This product contains aloe and vitamin e. This product also comes in a 6.5 fl oz. This product helps lock in the moisture in your babies skin. It locks up to 10 time more moisture on wet skin that lotion can on dry skin. This product works best after you babies bath on wet skin. It is not recommended on dry skin.

Johnson's baby oil is a must have for new mothers. I always had a bottle of their baby oil handy to use on both of my children. This bottle comes in a 14 fl oz bottle. My children suffered cradle cap and the only product that helped me get rid of my children cradle cap is Johnson's baby oil. It is easy to use and it is best used after your baby/child bath. I used to use it ever day for my children. I always used a certain wash cloth and rubbed in on my children skin. Then I brushed my children hair and the oil help moisturize the skin and help remove the dead skin.  would highly recommend this product. 

The last product that we received was their Johnson's baby creamy oil. This is one of my favorite products for Johnson's baby products. This comes in a 8 fl oz tube. I love the texture and the scent to this product. The texture is a very creamy texture and it absorbs in your skin very quickly and leave a non greasy feel. The scent is a aloe vera and vitamin e scent. I fell in love with this product and I am starting to use it a lot. I love the feel after applying this product on my skin. It makes me skin feel fresh and relaxed. I would definitely buy this product and recommend.

This Christmas if you are shopping for a new expectant mother or a mother who recently had a baby. I would recommend putting together a baby gift basket of goodies. Another reason why I love Johnson's products is they are reasonable priced and they are safe for you babies needs. You can find their products at their website.
