Little One Books Review & Giveaway!

We are book lovers in this house. Hailee is at the age where she is learning all about letters & sounding words out out so books are huge part of our lives right now! Little One Books carries only the best books!

We specialize in quality books, music, and video, for children birth through age five, and have personally reviewed and selected each and every item in our store. You'll find detailed information on why we prefer a particular product in our "Why We Chose" section of each product page.

At Little One Books, we match each product to what we believe is the youngest appropriate age group. However, our carefully selected items can and will be used for many years to come. As children develop they often find pleasure in revisiting illustrations from old favorites, and eventually learning to read them on their own.

They make finding the perfect book for your child easy by allowing you to search by age. After looking around at the great selection of books for 4 year olds we of course chose Ladybug Girl! We have seen this book around and Hailee was very interested in reading so when it came in the mail you can imagine how excited she was to own it!

When you open the page link of the book you are interested in your are given a reason as to why this book was chosen on their site! I think this is such a great thing! This particular book was talked about by Audra whose four year old neice loved the book and inspired her to do the same as ladybug girl did in the book.

Litte One books carries the best dvds including one of Hailees favorites Dinosaur Train!

After searching throuhg I decided to get Hailee the Portable CD/Karaoke Machine. She is a huge music fan and loves to sing and dance so this is perfect for her. the cd player is shock-resistant so as she is jumping around dancing her music is still playing! It comes with the cd player, headset with a mic, & bass-boosted  speakers! She loves using the mic and hearing her voice through the headset. I love the fact that it also comes with speakers! I would have loved this as a child! It comes in two colors pink or blue!

They have so many great selections I have no idea how I narrowed it down to one!

Busy Busy Busy!

I have been super busy and have not had much toime for anything. I will be posting some great giveaways as soon as possible and pictures from the circus we attended last night!

NEW FROM CUREL: Curel Sensitive Skin Remedy Lotion

Free of irritants, full of moisture. Cooler, drier weather doesn’t have to signal the onset of sensitive skin. As the temperature drops this year, prevent sensitive skin that comes with the season with Curel Sensitive Skin Remedy Lotion. The breakthrough treatment is designed to replenish skin’s crucial protection mechanism: Ceramides. By restoring ceramides—the building blocks of skin’s protective barrier—Curel Sensitive Skin Remedy Lotion™ not only relieves irritation and hydrates skin, but also strengthens skin to reduce future sensitivity. This season, treat and prevent dry, irritated skin with Curel Sensitive Skin Remedy Lotion.
Individuals with sensitive skin have a weaker skin structure than those with healthy skin, allowing environmental irritants to penetrate the skin and cause dryness, stinging and irritation. Truly treating sensitive skin means going beyond the symptoms to address the source—a compromised barrier depleted of ceramides. Sensitive Skin Remedy Lotion™ is formulated with an exclusive Ceramide Complex unique to Curel that mimics the effect of natural Ceramides found in skin, effectively strengthening sensitive skin and forming a protective barrier.

Yantra Mat

The healing art of acupressure has its roots in traditional Chinese medicine. Scriptures written over 4,000 years ago describe "nail beds" that were used to heal the body and mind.

The Yantra Mat helps if your Stressed out, Sleeping poorly, Experiencing fatigue, have Headaches, Muscle tension, & Back or neck pain. I suffer from most of these problems and with regular use the Yantra Mat has helped.

They suggest on days 1-4 using the mat for 10 minutes, days 5-14 20 minutes and after 14 days using it for 20-40 minutes day

When I first recieved the Yantra Mat I thought it was going to be painful but when I used it I never felt any discomfort!

The Yantra Mat position I use the most is the seat postion. You can use the mat on a regular chair, or sit down and place the mat under your buttocks. This position will loosen tension in the lumbar region and buttocks. Within minutes of using the Yantra Mat you’ll feel warmth along the parts of your body touching the mat.

"The Yantra Mat’s 8,820 acupressure points provoke the kind of clarity and focus that usually comes with prolonged meditation or intense physical activity. A more relaxed state further improves circulation."

On the back of the Yantra Mat you'll notice an Indian meditation symbol, the Yantra. This word comes from the Sanskrit word yan, which means “form,” and tra, which means “free.”

The Yantra Mat comes in a bag with a strap so it can be used when traveling!

ROHTO Review & Giveaway

I was sent a bottle of ROHTO Hydra & ROHTO Cool.

I wear contacts and when taking them out at night before bed my eyes are very dry. I tried out ROHTO Hydra, which is for dry, irritated eyes. It leaves your eyes feeling lubricated. My eyes are very sensitive and since I wear my contacts so much my eyes burned more than cooled. Im sure that for others who dont wear contacts all day it would feel cooling! After the cooling went away my eyes didnt feel dry like they do a few minutes after using other brands of eye drops!

• ROHTO® Hydra: The newest product offering, specifically formulated to lubricate and provide long-lasting moisture for dry, irritated eyes with the closest hydration to nature tears, while also providing the brand’s signature cooling “kick”
• ROHTO® Cool: a general purpose eye drop that combines redness relief with a gentle cooling sensation
• ROHTO® Ice: relieves redness while also soothing itch, irritation and burn with an intense cooling sensation
• ROHTO® Arctic : revives strained, overworked eyes and relieves redness with a mild “pick me up” sensation

I love the shape and size of the bottle. The bottle is also clear which is a plus because you can see how much is left in the bottle.

**GIVEAWAY**
One winner will recieve a bottle of  ROHTO Hydra & ROHTO Cool. To enter check out ROHTO and let me know something you learned! Giveaway ends 10/18

YO GABBA GABBA! LIVE! Review!

On Wed. we went & saw Yo Gabba Gabba Live! When we arrived we picked up our tickets at will call and walked around checking everything out!

They had a Revolution Foods Booth set up and were taking free pictures to view & print at home & passing out free samples! Hailee enjoyed the Mashups!

They passed out DJ Lance glasses to everyone. Hailee looked super cute in them. I saw alot of parents wearing them more than the kids!

Once we were in our seats a man from the company came up to us and offered us tickets to move to the front which was a few rows from the stage so of course we took up his offer! A huge thanks to him! We saw the show perfectly.

DJ Lance had the crowd standing up and we sang & danced along with the Yo Gabba Gabba friends!

Balloons fell from the ceiling when Brobee wanted to share balloons with his friends! We were covered in balloons!

 

While we waiting for the intermission to be over we were greeted in the isle by Brobee & Toodee as they walked to the stage!! Hailee loved it!

They sang the Magic Bubbles song and there were bubbles everywhere, Hailee enjoyed poping them with the other kids!

Run in circle, now freeze

Biz did Biz's beat of the day and had kids come on stage to join him!

Our favorite part of the show was Party In My Tummy! They had a slide & the food slid down & went into the party in the tummy. The carrots & green beans were sad & were invited to the party! It was super cute!!

They ended the show with the Goodbye Song, Hailee was sad the show was ending but they said "see ya next time" so she is excited to evenutally see them again!

It was a great show & I really enjoyed the show as well! This is a show that all kids & parents would enjoy!

The show featured in this review was provided free of cost to me by Yo Gabba Gabba. Opinions expressed are my own and are NOT influenced by monetary compensation.
