Wicked Cool Toys ~ Adoptimals Review

Wicked Cool Toys mission is to consistently develop and deliver high quality, innovative products and brands that kids (and maybe even adults) love. First and foremost, that's what they are about. That’s why they are Wicked Cool! Make a Living. Have Fun. Pay it Forward. Wicked Cool Toys is a team oriented workplace that cares deeply about its culture and its people. Though they have fun every day, they take the job of developing products that make kids happy very seriously.
I am a huge pet person. I have adopted numerous animals of all types but I can only fit so many in my home. We have all been faced with that question....."can I have a puppy?" "Can I have a kitty?" It doesn't seem to matter how many pets you already have your children always want more. Or maybe you are allergic to pet dander and fur so adopting a pet for your child becomes difficult because it is impossible for you to live with. 

Cabbage Patch Kids Adoptimals are a fantastic solution to this problem. Adoptimals are the perfect answer to the question "can I have a puppy?" These adorable little 9" fur friends are looking to be adopted by children 3 years and up. 

It doesn't matter what your age is, we all love the Cabbage Patch Kids brand. Just like their baby doll counterparts these Adoptimals come complete with a Certificate of Ownership. This is a wonderful way to introduce your little one to the process and importance of adopting a pet.

​Your Adoptimals pet will include a food/water bowl, a brush and a special heart shaped locket. When you press the heart your Adoptimals will make pet sounds and phrases. My little puppy barks and pants just like a real dog.

You can also pair them with one of the 14" Cabbage Patch Kids heart key braclet and unlock your pet's magical locket for lights and a heart beat. Or simple collect and play with them on their own.

My Adoptimals puppy is sooo super cute and he is extremely soft. Your child will love to pet and snuggle their Adoptimals all day and night. The bonus to adopting one of these pets is you won't need to vacuum everyday. You also won't find slobber and fur in the bed. They will not cost a fortune to feed and there is no mess to clean up. So next time your child wants to adopt a pet just take them to get an Adoptimals.
Each authentic Adoptimals has "Cabbage Patch Kids Adoptimals" printed across one rear paw and of course the familiar "Xavier Roberts" signed across the other back paw.  
Adoptimals come in 8 different options so choose a favorite or even better.....collect them all.
You can purchase these Cabbage Patch Kids Adoptimal s at Target, Toys R Us, Walmart, Kmart, Amazon and Cabbage Patch Kids Babyland General.

DUDE Products Review & 10% off Code plus first month free offer (info in review)

Picture

Picture

DUDE Products was started with four long time friends who launched DUDE Wipes out of their apartment in Chicago. Their origins aren't like most companies. They started all this to have fun, make shit jokes and kick ass. Since then it has been one crazy ride and they have all of you loyal DUDE family members to thank. It's their mission to have fun, keep building great things and support you all anyway they can.

It all started in 2011 in an apartment in Chicago after college.
 In 2012 the first 4 pallets of DUDE Wipes arrived and we began selling them out of a spare bedroom.
2013 As seen celebrating, after just a few months of sales the DUDES received the Visionary Award at the Vision 2013 Consumer Products Conference, an award given to the most innovative consumer product of the year,
previous winners include Swiffer
and it continued
in 2015
DUDE Products appeared on Shark Tank

In order to continue to combat stank we launched The DUDE Shower, a new line of full body wipes. It was quickly described as best way to freshen up without a shower by Men's Health.
And here's where they are today:

There's nothing like basking in the chillness of your own bathroom — a quiet sanctuary to reflect and just be a DUDE.  Treat yourself like the king of the throne with Dude Wipes Crib Edition™, the premium
upgrade to any domain.


Excellent product. Better for a DUDE than a typical wipe (this won't leave you smelling like a baby) Packaged in this manly black packaging... the only complaint, the first few wipes are hard to get out, they tear easily, but once a few are out, the rest come out with a breeze.

NuManna Food Storage ~ Emergency Food Supply ~ Grab-N-Go Bucket Review & Giveaway

Picture

NuManna offers independently certified GMO Free storable foods with No added MSG, no Aspartame, no High Fructose Corn Syrup, no chemical preservatives and Complete wheat Gluten Free food storage options. As a pioneer in the industry we believeNuManna is the Healthy choice. Superior Grade “A” ingredients and Premium blending also make NuManna the Best-tasting. 

NuManna also offers other superior products such as Power Iodine, a highly concentrated transformative brand of nascent Iodine. 

For those who wish to prepare for the uncertain times we live in NuManna will help you Prepare. We are obsessed with what we serve our families so you can have confidence offering NuManna to yours.

Picture

Like many other organizations NuManna began with a quest. Their Founders were interested in long term storable food. Stocking up in case of emergency and food rotation was important to them. They tried what was available at the time and were disappointed. Chemically filled recipes didn’t taste all that good, and Genetically Modified Ingredients were things they avoided, especially for their children. They asked themselves if there was anything better. The sad answer was no.
Through more investigation they decided they could do better. Through trial and error they produced an easy to fix meal free of ingredients like Aspartame they were already avoiding. The meals were also GMO Free and tasted really good. In 2011 NuManna was born. What started out as a Mom and Pop operation out of their basement has become a National brand setting the pace in innovation and quality. The NuManna mission then, just as it is today, is to provide the best products possible to this industry.
Picture

Being prepared for an emergency should be number one on every families list. We should all have a plan, a backup, an escape, a meeting place and an emergency kit . From earthquakes to tornadoes.....from fires to flooding we really must be prepared. I live in California so having a supply of food, water and batteries is something I am always thinking about. Lately we have had so many quakes, it is a constant reminder to get yourself ready. You never know when the "Big One" will hit and when it does my family will not be left stranded. I can rest at night knowing that I have NuManna in my home. No matter what happens I can feed my family. 
NuManna has the best, most delicious food storage buckets that I personally have seen. With NuManna I know that I will not be stuck eating slices of spam or dry, crumbly protein emergency bars for days on end. 

My NuManna Grab n' Go bucket is packet full of scrumptious meals. In case of emergency my family will still be eating like kings and queens. We will have an amazing variety of meals to choose from. 

The Grab n' Go bucket has a total of 80 servings packed right into an easy to carry bucket. This bucket is sealed tight to keep its contents fresh and long lasting. Attached to the bucket is a durable handle so when the time comes you can do as the bucket says......Grab n' Go!!!

Picture

Picture


​The Grab n' Go 80 serving bucket includes 10 servings of breakfast and 70 servings of lunch and dinner. Each meal variety is sealed tight in a dark pouch to keep food fresh. These dark pouches help keep out light and are all packed neatly inside of a sealed tub. These tubs are super sealed. They are not just snapped shut, they also have a heavy plastic tab that you need to pull and peal off from around the bin before you can open the top. This packaging process ensures that you get the longest lasting food possible. 

The meals in these food buckets have a 25+ year shelf life. This is AWESOME!!! It is so worth every penny. You can buy these tubs and be secure for25+ years.

Picture

Picture

Picture

To make you meals last as long as possible you will need to store your bucket(s) in a room temperature space. I keep mine inside my home. I recommend placing your Grab n' Go bucket in an easy to access space so you can grab it quickly in case of an emergency.

Do not put your bucket in the garage or storage shed because the temperature fluctuates too much. One day it's hot, one day it's cold. This is not an ideal setting for your Grab n' Go.

Picture

Picture

Picture

Picture

Picture

Picture

NuManna meals are Soy Free – GMO Free – No Added MSG – No Aspartame – No High Fructose Corn Syrup
Picture

Picture

Picture

NuManna is simply the best you can buy for your family. The entrees and lunches that are included in your Grab n' Go bucket are:
Picture

Sweet Habanero Chili (6 servings)
Mac-n-Cheese (6 servings)
Pasta Primavera (6 servings)
Enchilada, Beans & Rice (6 servings)
Cream of Rice Soup (10 Servings)
Pasta Alfredo (6 servings)
Cheddar Broccoli Soup (10 servings)
Cheesy Potato Soup (10 servings)
Granola/Multi Grain Cereal (10 servings)

Classic Chili (10 servings)
Picture

Each pouch has all the nutrition facts included right on the label. You can find the serving amounts at the top of the label and cooking directions are also printed directly on the package. All you need is water to cook these meals so make sure to have plenty of water in your emergency kit. I think it's also a great idea to have a camping set of pots and pans as well as a set of camping plates, bowls and silver/plastic ware.
Picture

Picture

Picture

NuManna has a huge variety of buckets and food storage plans to choose from. You can order a Grab n' Go or Family Pack. You can choose from regular, organic or gluten free. If you want to add an extra boost to your supply then grab a Defender Nutritive Pack. Each Defender Pack comes with 124 servings of our traditional GMO-Free, Easy-Fix meals plus a healthy supply of Organic Grains and Super Foods. You can order one bucket or you can order enough to feed an army. NuManna even offers flex-pay so that you can stock up and make a monthly payment. As you pay, NuManna will continue to send you what you have paid for. This is a great way to execute your food storage plan and really be prepared.

NuManna also carries water filtration systems and delicious powdered milk.

Glow Matrix - NeoCell’s Platinum Matrix Collection

NeoCell’s Platinum Matrix Collection is a premium line of nutraceuticals scientifically crafted to support collagen health on a systematic level, targeting specific wellness concerns for total body vitality.
Picture

I have been using this wonderful product from NeoCell and love the results I am getting. 
In just the 2 weeks I have noticed my skins less dry and just looks great/fresh. 
I used to have so many dry patches all over my face, espically around my chin.
No matter how much mositurizer I put on or treatments I did they never seemed to go away.
Now they are gone. I love the results. 
I am waiting to see if it helps take away the few dark spots on my face.
I sort of think they are fading away it's hard to tell still. 
Picture

You only have to take 3 of these easy to swallow capsules per day. 
I take one in the morning, one at lunch time and one before bed. 
The first few days I took them all at once, but it seemed to be to many pills for me ontop of what I already take each morning, so I split it up and it seems to work just fine. 

I am noticing a glow in my skin, not just my face my hands, arms everywhere looks better.
I have never had skin that looked this good. 

Picture

I have had no side effect from taking NeoCell Glow Matrix. 
Just positive effects.

Elastic lighter band and two convenient pouches 
On the outside of the bag there is a pocket (it doesn't zip shut) perfect for your cell phone. 
The MAYA is available in SIX different colors. 
Mines Purple Buff Python. 
I love the deep purple color and the snake skin pattern on the outside. 
No matter what you put in this clutch/purse, your stash or something else it won't be detected by smell. It's truly smell proof. Great clutch/purse. Super cute, goes with everything and the fact that you can carry cannibis product in it without being detected is great. 
You can use this for everyday use, not just for when carrying cannibis. 

Annabis Handbags & Accessories 
come in numerous sizes and prints

​Lady G

Lady G is the cool crossbody that becomes a waistbag with an easy clip of the strap. Outside on back, find your handy phone pocket. Twist the claps and lift the flap to see two Aroma-Bloc™ zippered compartments that tame smelly sinsemilla and pungent paraphernalia. 

​This bag comes in 3 diffrent colors/prints

KIRSTEN

This is your everyday go-to – like that friend you call when you want good company for your café society life, or yoga. (Phone? Check! Wallet? Check! Keys? Check! No more where are my…?).

Chelsea is your shoulder-swinging mobile office, makeup counter, cannabis companion. The roomy top compartment (for a mini bucket bag) is lined with six organizing pockets for everything quotidian and necessary.

Maya is the happiness bag for a phenomenal woman. You can throw her in a tote or keep her in your hand at a dinner party—you’ll look good either way. She’s got an easy-access but secure external phone pocket to maximize marijuana storage inside.

This bag comes in 6 different colors/prints

Riri

RiRi works hard and looks fierce while she’s at it. This is a carry case for the woman who knows what she needs by her side: some serious glassware and super fresh green.

This bag comes in 4 different colors/prints

The Whoopee

Oscar Wilde said what is fashionable is beautiful but useless. Sorry, Oscar: this gorgeous bag is also one tough Aroma-Bloc cookie. Whatever you take—pipe, vape, three kinds of hand lotion, and a whole lot of herbaceous smellaceous— she keeps it neat and discreet.

This bag comes in 12 different colors/patterns

The Frankie

Oh Frankie! So to the point! He (or is it she) is so minimalist it’s almost naughty. Sleek and functional like what your pencil case would look like if you were in a Ganja-grad masterclass.

Wicked Cool Toys, Cabbage Patch Kid "Baby So Real" Review

Wicked Cool Toys is a team-oriented workplace that cares deeply about its culture and its people. Though they have fun every day, they take the job of developing products that make kids happy very seriously.
In the fall of 2016 the NEW 14" Cabbage Patch Kid "Baby So Real" was introduced for the first time ever! This CPK "Baby So Real" combines traditional play patterns with amazing ground breaking technology. The Baby So Real allows you to enjoy one of the most magical and interactive experiences in history of the baby doll category.

Every little girl loves to pretend to have a baby and be the best mommy she can be. 

Baby So Real lets your little one play with a doll that truly interacts by making sweet baby sounds and having random reactions designed to surprise and delight. Your childs touch will bring Baby So Real to life with beautifully animated LCD eyes that open, close and look around.

Just like a real baby this Cabbage Patch Kid can make over 30 expressions with her true life eyes. It is absolutely amazing how Baby So Real can let you know how she's feeling by looking at her eyes.


Baby So Real has sensors that allow her to interact in so many ways. She can play peek-a-boo and even has tickle play. You can feed your baby with a special bottle that is included in the box. Your Baby So Real will even ask "burp me" after feeding and she will make a burping sound.
She will need her diaper changed too. Lay your baby on her back, remove her dirty diaper and once a clean one has been put on she will say phrases like "All Better."

Baby So Real will also want to be rocked to sleep. She loves it when she is gentle rocked before she is layed down for a nap. Once she is tired and ready to sleep she will yawn, close her eyes and say things like "night, night."
When Baby So Real develops a fever you will know it because her check will actually glow red. You can calm her and nurse her back to health by using a little TLC and a magical spoon that is also included in this super cool set.  Once she starts to feel better her checks will stop glowing and she will say "Feel Better." 
As if Baby So Real was not exciting enough your child can even play a game using a free app. This game is the coolest ever!!! Using Bluetooth your child can link the baby to their choosen device and begin to play with this adorable little one.  This interactive game will allow your child to earn Baby Points by changing the Baby So Real diaper, feeding her, rocking her to sleep and caring for her by giving medicine. These Baby Points can be exchanged to aquire vitual elements in the Baby So Real  baby room. This will allow mommy to personalize her babys room by purchacing furnature, accessories and changing the window scenery. There are even virtual outfits that can be bought with Baby Points. 
Each Cabbage Patch Kid "Baby So Real" comes complete with a birth certificate and adoption papers. These sweet little babies papers will include the childs name and birth date.

Baby So Real is available in Blonde, Brunette and African American Babies. They also come with fully removable outfit and diaper, a special interactive bottle and medicine spoon.

Theses babies are soft, cuddly and super lovable. Batteries are included as well. 

There are also some available with a bonus outfit. How cool is that. A good mommy keeps her baby neat and clean and that is why these outfits are machine washable.

Look for these Cabbage Patch Kid "Baby So Real" dolls at a store near you or find them online.

Boogie Board Review

Founded in 1993, Kent Displays, Inc. is a world leader in the research, development and manufacture of Reflex® No Power LCDs for unique, sustainable applications including electronic skins, eWriters, smartcards and eReaders. All Reflex LCDs are made on flexible plastic substrates and reflect ambient light to produce an image. They use no power to retain an image and only a small amount to change it. Reflex LCDs are made in the U.S.A. in Kent, Ohio.

Kent Displays launched Boogie Board LCD eWriters in January 2010. All Boogie Board eWriters feature a pressure-sensitive Reflex LCD as their writing surface. The no power attributes and exceptional writing experience of Reflex LCDs make Boogie Board eWriters an electronic paperless replacement for memo pads, sticky notes, scratch pads, note books and other writing and drawing mediums.

These Boogie Boards are the coolest thing ever. I was super excited when I discovered these and stood in the store starring at them trying to decide which one to buy. It was a tough decision. That day I was shopping for a 3 year old and really wanted to buy one of these Boogie Boards knowing that he loves to scribble and erase. I had watched him a few days before drawing shapes and scribbling pictures. He was letting his imagination go wild so I thought "Hey, a Boogie Board would be perfect for him." Since Christmas is upon us I decided he must have one. After going back and forth with my man we finally decided to get the Scribble n' Play. After purchasing a Scribble n' Play for my nephew I was lucky enough to be able to review Boogie Boards and finally use them for my family. We are in love!!!

The Scribble n' Play has been fun for everyone in my family. It doesn't matter how old or young, we all really enjoy these super fabulous Boogie Boards.

The Scribble n' Play featuring Colorburst is a colorful and cool twist to the Boogie Board. It lets you get even more creative with the multicolor LCD writing screen. The colors jump off the screen with awesomely-integrated stylus tools that allows artists both young and old to create a variety of lines and textures.

These four tools clip neatly to the sides of the Scribble n' Play for easy storage. This feature makes it simple to hang onto the tools. You won't loose them when they are clipped securely to the sides of your boards.
Make doodling and math more fun with this colorful Scribble n' Play. Save yourself some money on flashcards and save the environment by going paperless. You can use this Boogie Board to figure out math problems with your kids. This is also a huge paper saver when playing games where you need to draw pictures. We play a ton of games in our family and are constantly digging for scratch paper when it comes to draw and guess games. The Boogie Boards eliminates the hastle because now we can draw, guess and earse with the touch of one button. No need to scrounge up pencils and sharpeners either because the Scibble n' Play supplies you with eveything you need.
The Scribble n' Play comes in a super cool case that keeps it from slipping and sliding around and makes for great organization. You can tuck you hand into the back of the case. It's like a little pocket for your palm so that you can hold it upright when doing math problems or drawing pictures that you want the group to see. If you are trying to demonstrate something to a group just slide your fingers into the back and hold it up in the air for everyone to get a good look.  Scribble n' Play brings out your inner artist, while providing enthusiasts with a key communication tool for early learning. You can even save your creations with the free app iOS and share with friends and family.
You can get one of these for around $29.99
The Boogie Board Jot 4.5 Featuring Clearview contains all the awesomeness as the Scribble n' Play but in a more compact size. The Jot 4.5 has a really cool clear screen so as you take notes while you keep an eye on what your little ones are up to. HAHAHA :) This super compact Boogie Board will get rid of your need to carry a ton of sticky notes or paper note pads. The clearview truly reinvents flashcards with an easy, one-push erase system that's perfect for repetitive tracing and memorization. Small and light weight, the Clearview Jot 4.5 is perfect for use in the home, or on the go, making anywhere a great place for kids to learn and create. This Boogie Boards comes complete with alphabet flashcards for tracing large and small letters, and you can practice math with the free app for iOS.
The Boogie Board  Jot 4.5 Clearview also has a really nifty cover. I am in love with this feature because it protects the screen and whatever I have written on it. There is a convenient writing tool that just clicks right 
onto the corner of the Boogie Board so you always have something to write with. It snaps on nice and tight so it won't fall of in your purse or diaper bag. This is awesome because we all know how horrible it is when we have to dig through to the bottom of our bags for something to write with. I have officially stolen this cool tool from the kids to use for work orders, grocery lists and trips to the hardware store. We are always building something or fixing up our home so my man has been using the Boogie Board Jot 4.5 to draw up measurement. It is small enough to fit in my mans back pocket when we are at the Hardware store. It's perfect and sells for about $19.99 !!! So affordable. YAY!! We are a Boogie Board family and you should be too.

Taitu's Botanical Lavender & Ylang Ylang Vegtable Soap with Shea Butter.....The Best in Herbal Body Care.

I was pleasantly surprised at how much this bar of soap suds up. It is a super soft and silky bar of soap that moisturizes your skin to the fullest. My skin tends to get dry and itchy particularlly during these winter months. After using thisLavender & Ylang Ylang vegetable soap with shea butter my skin was not itchy at all.  My skin was smooth and fresh. This soap is very lightly scented so you get all the benefits of the lavender without an overwhelming aroma.

I have always struggled with dry skin and seriously dry hands. Being a glass blower in the winter puts my hands to the test. It is so cold in my shop and then my hands are scortched all day from the heat off the flame. These extreme temperatures make my hands crack and rough. This Taitu's Botanicals Lavender Moisture Creme fixed my hands after the first use. With most moisturizers I have used it makes my hands itchy because they are so dry that rubbing any lotions on just burns. With

PlayMonster Wonder Crew Dolls Review

PlayMonster is a toy and game company, championing the power of play by creating quality toys and games for children, adults and families. They are the perfect combination of playful and professional, and true play experts because they understand play for ALL AGES!

They make toys and games. Sounds simple, right? Well, it is and it isn't. Toys and games have the ability to make a difference in people's lives, if they have great play value that creates interaction and inspires continual play. At PlayMonster their goal is for their toys and games to be all that and more. So that's what they do...they work to keep play alive for all ages. It's a big job, and they love it!

PlayMonster is getting ready to take a huge step in empowering boys with the new Wonder Crew Dolls!!!
PlayMonsters Wonder Crew will hit the shelves early 2017!!
When I heard about Wonder Crew dolls for boys  I was thrilled. I have found that boys love to play with dolls. Due to the lack of dolls geared towards boys in the toy industry male children are forced to play with their sisters dolls. So you have to either deal with your kids trying to share, which is a struggle or go out and buy another doll for your son. The problem that I personally have run into is that it is tough to find boy dolls. There are tons of girl dolls with multiple clothes options and accessories but really, there are no boys.......UNTIL NOW!!!

​Wonder Crew to the rescue!!!  Wonder Crew is targeted to boys age 2-5 and will include four buddies of different races each wearing Superhero gear, packaged complete with a matching cap and mask for the child. It is so cool that these 15" Wonder Crew buddies have coordinated role play accessories for their kid owners.

​Wonder Crew buddies will also have Adventure Packs that you can buy separately. These Adventure Packs will be themed Builder, Explorer and Snuggler (for bedtime). They will not only include awesome outfits for your buddies, they will have matching gear for your kid too. 

I love these Wonder Crew buddies so much. Now I can buy these as gifts for all the little men in my life.

Laurel Wilder, a psychotherapist and a mom, created Wonder Crew after her son came home from preschool one day and announced that "boys aren't supposed to cry" she was frustrated by many of the messages boys were (and weren't) receiving and inspired by the way play influences child development. Wilder created Wonder Crew to encourage kids to connect emotionally and be their full selves.

Wonder Crew dolls will allow your childs imagination to soar as he creates many adventures with his buddy.

Keep your eyes peeled for Wonder Crew buddies to hit the shelves early 2017!!! Your boy is sure to connect with one of these four superheros.

Holiday Gift Giving ~ Cardboard Safari / Antler Home Buck Birch Wood U.S. Flag Deer Head Review & Giveaway

Their goal is to make neat stuff, fun products that foster an appreciation for the natural world.
Creativity, conservation, and collaboration are paramount to their mission. Meticulously developing products on the computer and cutting precision parts on the laser, their designers strive to meld simplicity and sophistication in their sculptural works of art. The consumer has an opportunity to participate in the creative process by slotting together and embellishing the final forms.

I am in love with Cardboard Safari and their Antler Home line. This is a super fun and simple way to add a touch of the outdoors to any room. You may or may not be a hunter but it doesn't matter with Cardboard Safari because you don't need to harm any animals to get that safari look you want.

There is a huge variety of products to choose from. You can pick an elephant or a moose. You can even get a rainbow unicorn for your wall. How awesome is that. Spend time with your child and piece together a fun creation for their room.

Picture

There are so many cool products to choose from so it took me some time to pick. I finally decided to go with the Buck Birch Wood U.S. Flag Deer Head. I thought this would be perfect for my mans office. My man is Veteran so of course the U.S. flag print is right up his alley and would look awesome next to his medals and certificates. 

This Buck Birch Wood U.S. Deer Head is from the Antler Home Collection which is the newest addition toCardboad Safari. Antler Home offer wood versions of the popular Cardboard Safari line of animal heads and an expanded line of home decor products. 


​These Cardboard Safari and Antler Home kits arrive flat, numbered and ready to be put together. This was a fun little project, easy enough for kids of any age to put together and cool enough  for adults of any age to hang on their wall.

Picture

Picture

Once you slide the pieces together you don't see the numbers. They are cleverly covered up by the cardboard/wood. 

It's super cool how the pieces stack up and create a 3-D creature that comes to life as each part is put together.

Picture

Once you have finished assembling your entire animal head you are ready to mount it to any wall in your house. The mounting is also really easy. It just take one nail or screw.....whatever you choose. I love that it mounts so simply and I don't need to put 5 holes in my wall to do so.
Each pre-cut slot has a number printed next to it that matches with a number on the appropriate cardboard/wooden piece as shown in my pictures. All you do it slide the parts together until firmly locked in place. There is no glue or other messy supplies needed. Everything you need comes supplied in the kit. 
Picture

I love our Buck Birch Wood U.S. Flag Deer Head. I thought the antlers would be confusing to put together but they were not. It is just as simple to piece them together as it was the rest of the head.
Picture

Picture

Picture

Picture

How cool is the finished product!!!! We love it!!! These are so perfect for every age. You can find so much more than animal heads on the Cardboard Safari and Antler Home website.  A few of the items I think are super cool are the chess pieces, the ipad holder, clocks, cutting boards and even adirondack chair coasters.

Unlike other commerical nuts such as almonds, no external water source isused. Only the natural rainfall feeds our trees!  Rest assured you are not depleting water sources like what is happening in the western U.S.The pili tree thrives in the volcanic soil, and is very typhoon resistant.  Locals call the tree "Spouse of the typhoon" because some believe the stronger the typhoon,the better production of pili nuts!

Zim's Max Arnica Homeopathic Roll-On Review & Giveaway

Excellent Homeopathic way to manange pain, strains & bruises

Picture

On the weekends my boyfriend and I always do something outdoors.
We like to ride dirt bikes, hike, explore areas in our state or swim at hike to waterfalls. 
Last weekend we took our dirt bikes out. We were having tons of fun riding up and down trails and rocky areas. 
The sun was getting lower so I knew sooner or later we needed to turn around and head back to the truck, but we kept going for a bit longer. I was in the front and ahead was a sharp turn with a hill. Since the sun was getting low it was about the same level as the hill making it hard for me to judge the turn once I got closer. Not sure what happened but I crashed, jumping off the dirt bike as it fell to the side. It all happened so fast I wasn't totally sure what I did or how it really happened. When my boyfriend came around the turn I had to jump up/move out of the way, Since the sun was in his eyes to he wasn't able to see me. Luckily once he turned & the sun was out of his eyes he noticed my dirt bike on its side and me sitting off to the side of the hill in pain. The handlebars must of hit my chest. I knew somehow I hit my chin, even with my helmet on and my knee was pretty banged up. After catching my breath and looking myself over for major injuries we kept on riding then sooner or later turned around to go back to the truck before the sun totally set. 
On the ride back I knew something was wrong, It was getting harder to breath and the pain was intense. I should of stopped when I crashed bu really thought I was fine. We managed to get the dirt bikes loaded up, drove home, unloaded and a hot shower. As soon as I got out of the shower I remembered I had Zim's Max Arnica Homeopathic Roll-On. I rolled it all over the sore spots hoping it would give me some relief till I figured out if I should go to the ER or not. Within minutes my pain was less, I was able to move around more and not shed a tear. The roll-on was working wonders. I still knew there was something wrong and I had to get it looked it. So the next morning I took myself to urgent care to get x-rays. Sure enough I had very bruised and possibly cracked ribs. Since there was so much bruising/inflamation it was hard to see if they were broken or not. My breathing was pretty bad still at that point. They offered me pain pills since there is really nothing they can do for cracked ribs. Just time would heal them. I of course refused the pills knowing my Zim's Max Arnica Homeopathic Roll-On would do the trick. 
I was right, this stuff works wonders. My pain wasn't fully gone, I still had/have a hard time getting up, getting out of bed, turning from side to side and getting my shirt on. But when I apply this wonderful roll-on those things are all so much easier to do, making my sore chest less of a stress. At least I know I have some natural pain relizer. 
I also never really bruised, just a few small ones on my legs, nothing on my chest or chin. I can tell Zim's Max Arnica Homeopathic Roll-On worked wonders on the brusies. Usually I just bump myself and I have a huge bruise

Zim's Max Arnica Homeopathic Roll-On for temporary relief of minor aches, strains, bruises, and sprains.  A special blend of homeopathic ingredients.

The roll-on bottle makes for easy application, no mess. 
There is a slight smell when applying but nothing bad, almost a menthol type smell but it goes away fast. 
Does leave sort of a sticky feeling to your skin. If you need more let the first coat dry, I notice it leaves less stickyness if you let each coat dry before applying more. 

Also works great on arthritis pain
