Hugo the Happy Starfish Book Reviews

Hugo the Happy Starfish books are simple designs but teach children a valuable lesson in many different concepts.  He learns life skills and builds charcter thru his adventures under the sea.  Children can easily relate to Hugo and in turn learn lots of ideas from him and can understand what is being taught because of the manner in which the books are written. They are fun and easy to read and get to the point. They make good bedtime stories because they aren't very long either.

You can check out more about Hugo and his adventures on his website.

Here is a video to learn more about Hugo.

The most great thing about Hugo and his website is that they offer free worksheets, games, and other printables to go along with their books.

Hugo EVEN has a Blog!

Check out more and learn about the author Suzy Liebermann on Amazon.com.

All of Hugo the Happy Starfish books can be purchased via Hugos Store for hardback books or via Amazon for Kindle Versions.

Apothecary Extracts Tea Tree Oil Review

Disclosure - I recieved this item for review purposes and it in no way changes my opinon of the product. My opinons are 100% my own. Powered by Brandbacker, #brandbacker

Apothecary Extracts Tea Tree Oil is a wonderful product. Have you ever wanted to go green? How about make your own natural shampoos and conditioners, lotions, household cleaning products and more? Essential Oils are the way to go!

Have you ever wondered how to use Essential Oils?  Well for Tea tree oil, Apothecary Extracts gives you a free Ebook that explains 53 uses for this essential oil.  You can also follow Apothecary Extracts here.

Essential Oils have been used for year to help with sinus issues, lice, well being, acne issues, pain and or stress relievers and so much more. 

Tea tree also works good to help repel insects.  

I like to use it in my home to help with bathroom cleaning. I use white vinegar with some tea tree oil in a spary bottle to cut down on mold and mildew in the shower and sink areas and it leaves a nice smell.

If you mix it with just water and spray furiture and curtains it refreshes an entire room.  Not to mention if you have a washer that gets that odor after years of use. I threw a bit into a load of laundry and my washer smelled so much nice.

The 4oz bottle should last me over a year as it doesnt take much in order to get the job done. You can also mix this with beauty treatments to clear skin problems.  There is an awesome recipe for a hair mask I am dying to try on my husband as he has cronic dry scalp and it has been a medical problem. Since Tea tree works like an an antiseptic, this would be great to try with his hair and see how his scalp comes about after a few treatments. The book alone makes your life so easy as the recipes are there to help you along the way to starting your essential oil experience.

I rate this product 10/10 

Love it and will be purchasing in the future as well!

Thank you Apothecary Extracts!

Phantom Fit Reflective Ankle or Wrist Bands Review

Disclosure - I recieved these items for review purposes and this in no way changes my opinon of the product.

PhantomFit is a great brand of products that is designed to keep you safe while running, riding or exercising.  They are designed to be convienent and high quailty. I recently had a chance to try these reflective ankle bands out and the weather has been pretty awful so this was a great time to test them as visibility is worse at night and even more so when its wet!

As you can see in the image above a small amount of light makes these bands reflect quickly and it makes the light bounce around the area around them. So in essence they light you up!


Phantomfit bands are highly reflective and fit snugly and because they are velco adjustable they fit ankles, and arms.  They are also great for motocycle or scooter riders to help keep them visible in dark or bad weather conditions.  If someone needed to ride at night most people on bikes are not visible in dark conditions unless they have reflectors on the bike. Even so, they are still hard to see unless headlights hit them just right. These ankle bands would solve that issue as the light reflective surface is much larger then the tiny reflective areas on a bike. What about you runners out there?  How many of you own reflective vests for early morning or late evening running? Most don't and aren't visible to drivers unless it is right before the light hits you.  These ankle bands again would solve this issue.  Being visible in dark conditions or in bad weather is a very real problem that I have faced for years.  On both sides of the line too. Walking with kids at night and cars fly past doing 30 over the speed limit, or being the driver and not seeing someone in the road until I am almost on them. It's a dangerous world out there and Phantom Fit is there to help keep you and your family safe.

Some of the features of these bands are they are visible up to 1000 feet.  They offer 2 strips of reflective tape and are securly attached. These bands also use velcro to keep them on and so they dont move around. No need for batteries to been used like some of the other brands out there.  Since they go on normal areas of wear, it is easier to know you are a person when seen in the dark.  Also these bands can be worn on arms as well as long as the area is 10 inches or wider.

These ankle straps will be the last item you would need to aid in your workout endevours.  You should try them today.  You can purchase the reflective ankle bands here.

Sterishoe 2.0 Is on Kickstarter!

How many of you remember my blog review of the origional Sterishoe?  Read about it if you haven't and come back to see what is new with the Sterishoe 2.0.

  Well it's back and even better with a new concept for the 2.0 version. Come watch the video below and get excited!

I love the new design. And it looks like it would be more universal for all kinds of different shoe styles then the origional version.  Much more compact and still as great of a working machine.  It also works faster and dries shoes out in the process of sanitizing them as well. It also is a One-size-fits-all version so no more having to purchase it in near to shoe sizes so it can be used for more then one person!  I am stoked and can't wait to see the new ones in action. I love the origional product and use it and would definately use this as well! And think of all your friends that work on thier feet all day. These would make a great gift to keep all those shoes clean and fungus, germ, and bacteria free!

I love how this product takes away from having to "wash" shoes and worry about them being destroyed during the process your washing machine and dryer does to them.

Here is your one and only solution to the "stink shoe" problem EVERYONE faces in their daily lives!

The idea behind the Sterishoe is that you place it in  your shoes and turn it on and the UV C lights kill up to 99.99% of bacteria and microorganisms that live in our shoes after a hard days work, walking or sweating.  You can be part of this great new product by visiting their Kickstarter page and donating as little as $1 to help them back this new product.

Thanks for reading!

We believe in what we make: 100% satisfaction guaranteed.  

 Review: Nikki Adams from Her 3 Little Thinkers says "Being pregnant and searching for bras has been the hardest part for me of both pregnancies. I already have large breasts without pregnancy. And being comfortable is a huge plus for me. Bella Materna offers a wide range of maternity bras, sleepwear, and underwear. The bra I chose is the Anytime Maternity Bra in black. It fits now and as my body grows it gives me a chance to adjust with the multiple closures. The cups come with a removeable liner that is also machine washable. The pads are designed for lactation and breastfeeding. I am really short so making sure a good bra has good adjustable straps. I don't like that as a bra gets worn a lot, the straps don't stay. I have been wearing this for weeks and haven't had a problem with the straps slipping out of adjustment. Where I set them is where they stay. I haven't decided if I am going to nurse as I am only 16 weeks, but if I do; this is the perfect bra. In the front has pull aside access for nursing. And is so comfortable you can wear it to bed. And I have so many times when my breast were tender. The fabric reminds me of swimming suit but not as tight. The material is made of Nylon/Lycra and certified to be toxin free. I also loved that with my large breasts it still gave me the support and comfort I needed. I don't like underwire and there was an option to have wired bras and non."
