Strawllers Review

We tried out our Strawllers, and I have to admit that I was so excited to do that, that I didn’t a) watch a tutorial video first b) just dove right in and didn’t really know exactly what I was doing and c) was in a hurry to get it done. So, the curls weren’t the neatest in the world, but

Exfoliating Minerals Facial Cleanser Review

When I first tried the Exfoliating Minerals Natural Facial Cleanser I had a few problem areas, a small breakout from wearing make up the day before. I don’t often wear make up and when I do it isn’t natural, I haven’t made the switch to a natural make up, yet, so that cause my skin to break out at times.

Ebeanstalk.com Review

My son will be turning one in less than 3 weeks, eeek (that is an “excited, sad, proud all rolled into one" eeek)! For his birthday, I have been searching online for age appropriate and developmental toys for a 1 year old. I came across Ebeanstalk.com and was really impressed with their site and the variety of appropriate, educational toys for children of all ages. The website itself is easy to navigate and allows you to shop by category, age, gender, and brands. For each toy on their site they feature a description, skills that the toy helps develop and product safety information, which I find very useful.
