You are probably thinking, “What the heck does Jewelry have to do with fragrance??” Good question!! Pink Zebra’s beautiful line of Jewelry can all be scented! That’s right, they can ALL be scented with the Pink Zebra Soaks! How cool is this?! Let me tell you all about it!

Pink Zebra even has introduced 6 new Soaks specifically for the new Jewelry! You can use any of the Soaks however these new scents are more perfume like.

The new scents of Soaks are: Alluring (my favorite), Daydreams, Eau’De Love, Island Passion, Angel Wings and True Romance. Each bottle is 3.75 fl. oz. and are $12 each. I even used Alluring in the PZ lotion and it smells amazing!

Lets talk about the Jewelry now and how to use the Soaks on the Jewelry. Their are 6 different pieces of jewelry to choose from.

Each Jewelry piece comes with an area on it that you can use the Soaks. You can fragrance it as much as you would like. You can also use multiple Soaks to make your own customized fragrance! Pretty awesome!!

It is super easy to apply the Soaks, just make sure you aren’t wearing the jewelry while applying. Allow the Soaks to absorb before you wear the jewelry. You can change the fragrance once the previous fragrance has evaporated.

The fragrance is absolutely amazing on my necklace!! You can change fragrances also if you are getting tired of smelling just the one, or you can add multiple Soaks to it!

I chose the Arrowhead Necklace Set to review. Aqua/Teal is my favorite color so I knew I would immediately be drawn to this piece. I also love how it is a 2 piece set, I have received many compliments! I used the Alluring Soaks on my necklace. I love the scent so I covered the entire area. A few squirts and you are good to go! I have had a few people ask what perfume I was wearing when they walked by, so you can definitely smell the scent. It isn’t overpowering by any means, it is just right. A few pieces of the jewelry have multiple areas to scent, so you can definitely change up your fragrances. So awesome!

All of the Pink Zebra Soaks are dye free, alcohol free and the packaging contains no BPA. All Pink Zebra products are made in the USA.

These would make very unique gifts for the holiday season!! Please check out Laurie Leal’s below pages below, and contact her with any questions/orders you have!!

LeapFrog Melody the Musical Turtle™ Review (Holiday Gift Guide)

November 11, 2016 By Marijean

*I received this product in exchange for being in the Leapfrog Blogger Program. All opinions are my own.

I was recently sent the LeapFrog Melody the Musical Turtle to review. I have two children who are older and wouldn’t be good testers for this product, so I sent this adorable turtle a few states away to my nephew Joey, who will be turning 2 in January.

From music to memory, Melody lights the way!

Race the music to find numbers and colors, repeat patterns and create turtle-rific tunes in 10 snappy, light-up activities. Melody the Musical Turtle offers 10 fast-moving, musical activities that tune memory and preschool skills. Little ones think and move quickly to find numbers and colors on Melody’s shell or repeat patterns from memory. In Music mode, buttons light up to show little ones how to play familiar tunes. $19.99.

Melody has 10 musical activities for children ages 2 and over. This has 3 different learning modes and is easy to use. In the Learn and Play mode you have to listen and look for numbers and colours as quickly as possible. In the Memory mode you have to watch the buttons lights up and remember the order. The music mode is following the lights to play a familiar tune, you can also make your own tunes up. Melody also has two volume settings.

What is also really fun about Melody is your child can play on their own or with their parents/siblings. My nephew loves playing the memory game with his Mom. He loves to clap along to the songs and press the buttons with the vibrant colors. It is great to help him learn his numbers and count. He has endless fun with Melody!!

You can find out where to purchase Melody on the LeapFrog website here. This would make the perfect holiday gift for any toddler in your life!!

Lovely Pumpkins Whale Polar Fleece Blanket Review (Holiday Gift Guide)

November 8, 2016 By Marijean

My kids love to lounge around the house and always have a blanket with them. My kids aren’t fond of socks so they usually complain that their feet are cold if the blanket isn’t big enough to cover them. I was contacted by Lovely Pumpkins to review their Whale Polar Fleece Blanket, and my kids are huge fans.

About Lovely Pumpkins

Hello there! Welcome to the world of Lovely Pumpkins. Lovely Pumpkins is a small start-up which aims at developing and selling products for kids and teenagers. The start-up is run and managed by the co-founder of the company Madalena, a devoted mother who loves children and likes to use her creativity for the better of them. The company’s most featured product is the orca blanket which has been developed to help kids cozy up anytime, anywhere! Lovely Pumpkins focuses on developing products peculiarly for kids and therefore the majority of the designs correspond to the animal kingdom to help kids relate to fellow organisms.

Whale Polar Fleece Blanket

KIDS LOVE IT: Kids will love their Orca Whale blanket for watching TV,reading, playing tablets or games, camping and slumber parties, too!
SOFT WARM POLAR FLEECE:Two-sided 100% polyester polar fleece is ultra-soft and snuggly warm for your toddler to tweenage child!
ROOMY SIZE: Blanket measures 56″ x 35″, providing your kids with lots of room to move and be comfortable inside!
WASHABLE FABRIC:Wash your orca whale blanket by hand, then lay flat to dry, and it will be long-lasting for years!
INCLUDES ORCA WHALE BACKPACK:Blanket comes in a polyester backpack with a whale insignia design.

The blanket was sent to me in a cute drawstring bag, perfect for traveling or sleep overs!

The blanket is super soft and cozy. I love how the whale tail is actually for the child’s feet. Each part of the child’s body can stay nice and warm in this blanket. The blanket is big enough for my 8 year old and 5 year old with plenty of more room. I am glad this blanket will still fit them as they grow. My children are enjoying their blankets while watching tv, playing their iPads, reading and sleeping. The blanket is washer friendly, so go ahead and throw it into the washer to get any stains out.
