BeKOOLs Itch Relief Patches

October 7, 2013 By Anne

I received the product to review.

Are one of those people who always get bit by bugs? Of have a child that does?

I am one and so is my daughter. Whenever we go out we always get the bites. Then my daughter will scratch at the bite for days and open it, then pick at it and so on.

There are several products to stop the itch but what about one you can easily carry in your purse and one that won’t rub off?

Try the new BeKools Itch Relief Patches. They are clear, non-messy patches that stay in place for hours even when playing outside. The patches come 18 to a pouch that can easily fit into your purse or diaper bag.

The medicated Itch Relief Patch creates a protective barrier that prevents kids from scratching. This is exactly what I need for my daughter.

I received a package of the Itch Patches to try and weirdly my daughter has not needed them. But I must have been bitten by an ant on the heal so I decided the give it a try.

The patch seemed to work. I did feel a little urge to itch. The patch did stay on through a walk with sneakers on.

They also sent me the Cooling Wipes. These are great! They cool instantly and the coolness stayed with me. A big plus was there was no order!

PlaySkool ShowCam

October 7, 2013 By Anne

My children see me with a camera in my hands almost everyday. So it’s only natural that they want a camera as well, especially my 5 year old daughter. When I got the chance to review PlaySkool’s new ShowCam I could not pass it up. I’ve gotten my son a child’s camera when he was 5 or 6 and the quality was just terrible, so I was curious to se how much technology has change in 7 years.

The PlaySkool ShowCam is definitely kid friendly. It’s geared toward kids ages 3-7. It’s perfect for their hands and durable enough if it gets dropped. The buttons are easy to push and understand. The child can customize the pictures in over 50 ways. They pic silly and fun stamps to place on the picture and can even bring the pictures to life with music and dance. The pictures then can be upload to a computer or brought to life as a slide show on the wall.

So what did I think? I think it’s great and would recommend putting it on your Holiday shopping list this year. It’s that fun! The pictures are not perfect quality but the fun stamps make up for it. My daughter has a great time capturing us in silly pictures and looking at them. The stamps are helping teach her how to hold the camera because the stamps have to fit into the face. She plays with it several times a week and whenever anyone new comes to the house. Here are a few pictures from her camera….

See how fun those are? My husband is the subject of most of her pictures.

I Choose Diet Coke Over… #spon #NoCalories #MyDietCoke

October 4, 2013 By Anne

I am a Diet Coke Ambassador. All opinions are my own.

I will choose Diet Coke over coffee any day!!

Aspartame is enjoyed by millions in low-calorie products, like yogurt, chewing gum and soft drinks. In fact, it has been extensively tested for safety by the World Health Organization, US Food and Drug Administration and the European Food Safety Agency. While the safety and benefits of ingredients like aspartame are supported by more than 200 studies spanning 40 years, The Coca-Cola Company understands that people may still have questions. They are making it a priority to address these questions and provide information and education to reinforce aspartame is an ingredient people can feel good about.

Check out this informative infographic from The Coca-Cola Company Beverage Institute for Health & Wellness. Hopefully it will answer some of your questions as well as answer the ones you didn’t know you had.

SMILING IT FORWARD™

October 3, 2013 By Anne

I have received information and products from McNeil Consumer Healthcare Division of McNeil-PPC, Inc., the makers of TYLENOL®.
 The opinions stated are my own. This is a sponsored post for SheSpeaks.

I’m SMILING IT FORWARD™ because it’s for a great cause! What is SMILING IT FORWARD™? ? It’s a campaign where by simply sharing a photo that makes you smile, TYLENOL® will make a $1 donation to Children’s Health Fun, up to $100, 000. This will help ensure that children in need will always be able to have a doctor’s visit if they need one. The first smile was shared by Alyson Hannigan who stars in How I Met Your Mother. She shared her smile of her two daughters. The Children’s Heath Fund is an organization that is well known for its mobile medial clinics that provide healthcare to underserved children all throughout the United States.

So what can you do to share a smile? Visit https://www.smilingitforward.com/ and upload a photo that makes you smile. It’s easy to do and I just uploaded this one….

I love to take pictures of my children and see their happy smiles. Since I always have a camera in my hand my children love to pose and make silly faces for the camera. The picture above always makes me laugh when I see it. It’s nice to know that by sharing this I am helping children all over the United States.
