Usborne Books' Animal Hide-and-Seek

Animal Hide-and-Seek ($15.99) combines both touch & feel and lift the flap.  There are multiple touch & feels per page.
The included story is short enough for a young reader's attention span; it essentially is a counting story, asking where the animal (behind the flap) is hiding.
It's listed for 9 months +, but, one of the flaps is near the center of the book, and we bent a flap one of the first times reading this because of the location of it.
Over-all, this is one of my & my daughter's favorite touch and feel books!

Radiantly You Tub Scrub

I'm pretty indifferent about the Tub Scrub.  The sample I received didn't say to do anything 'special' to it first, so I used it like I would powder Comet.  It cleaned fine!  I wasn't fond of the smell (it's made with tea tree & sweet orange essential oils); it didn't smell bad, I just wasn't fond of it.
A tub of it is $8.50.  I couldn't find the shipping costs.  They do not test on animals, so that's a big plus.

Pink Zebra Mountain Spring Sprinkles

Pink Zebra reps are all over Facebook.  So, of course, I needed a sample.  One scent I was sent is Mountain Spring.  It's a fresh scent that even men can put up with, but women will like, too!  It's not girly, but it's not manly either.  It's hard to describe; I don't necessarily agree with the website's description...but if you like the 'clean' scents, I recommend trying this one!  A 3.75oz jar is $8; shipping starts at $7.50.

Arbonne FC5 Nourishing Daily Shampoo & Conditioner


I was quite impressed with Arbonne's FC5 Nourishing Daily Shampoo & Conditioner!  The shampoo is shampoo, but the conditioner is one of the few I've tried lately that didn't leave my hair greasy & unwashed looking!  I have very fine, flat hair that tends to always looks stringy, even if I just washed & brushed it.  While it doesn't give it any volume, my hair does feel very soft & clean!
I expected a higher price, but the shampoo is $22 for 10 oz and the conditioner is $20 for 7 oz.  Shipping is based on how much you spend..it starts at $7.95.
Arbonne is vegan certified and doesn't use any chemicals - everything is botanically based.

The Rustic Shop candle warmer

Solid Colored Wax Tart and Candle Warmer  $22.99

I haven't used a candle warmer before, and I've never tried tarts.  This warmer, which comes in 5 colors, is great for the tarts!  It has a separate ceramic tart warmer that sits on top of the candle warmer.  The tart warmer heats the tart up within a few minutes.  I used a Jewelry in Candles Pumpkin Souffle (https://www.jewelryincandles.com/store/scentsthatsparkletn/p/95:c:97/enticing-desserts/pumpkin-souffle-tarts/)  The candle, however, takes several hours.  I tried a large Yankee candle, and removed it after a couple hours.  The smaller Yankee candle took about 3 hours to melt to where we could start smelling it.  Having never used these before, I do not know whether this is normal, but I'll probably continue to use a flame for candles.

Mary Kay Time Wise

I confess: I have never tried Mary Kay products (I know, how is that possible?)  In all honesty, I'm indifferent.

I tried the TimeWise® 3-In-1 Cleanser & Age-Fighting Moisturizer.  The cleanser is a cream cleanser with exfoliating beads in it.  My personal preference is a foaming facewash, so I did not like it for that reason.  I just don't feel 'clean' using cream cleansers.  It did, however, sufficiently clean my face (I checked afterwards with a white rag, actually).  I did like the moisturizer, though.  It left my face soft.

I have sensitive skin, and neither gave me any issues.  My samples did not include enough to see whether it can accomplish any of the age-fighting benefits.
