Click N Play Girls Pink Princess Castle Play Tent


I have on my hands, the girliest little Princess, I've ever met. She is sweet, cute, funny, and absolutely adorable. When I was asked to review be clicking play princess castle tent, I knew that my little princess would be perfect for this.

The Click & Play princess castle tent is such a cute tent. It comes in a small zippered pouch, which has a strap that allows you to carry it wherever you go. With most popup  tents, it's always difficult to figure out how you're going to store them. With this princess castle tent you are no longer left wondering where you're going to put it. Setting up the tent is extremely easy, once you pull it out of the bag, you insert the sticks on the inside slots to prop it up. My 4 year old was able to stand up straight in the center of the tent which she loved. The floor area of the tent is so wide that she can play with her little cousins inside too.





The construction of the tent is really nice, although I would suggest not allowing your little one to enter with shoes on. Just to avoid causing any rips or tears. This tent takes up a nice amount of room it's rather large, but it's perfect for my little princess. When not in use it is so easy to collapse and place back into its carrying bag.

We are absolutely loving this and my little girl is loving the fact that she now has her own little space in our home to call her own. With all the room she has inside she can lay comfortably with her dolls a blanket and pillow. She loves to take naps inside, and I always know exactly where to find her.

Electric Crew 13000mAh Portable Battery by eCrew Review

I always find myself running low on battery. It tends to happen at the worst of times too. I was recently asked to try the electric crew 13000 mAh portable battery by a crew, and could not wait to get my hands on it.

I've been using my crew portable charger for a few weeks now and can honestly say that it's one of my favorite chargers. This charger fits nicely in my hands because of its slim design. The exterior of the charger has a rubbery feel which allows for a perfect non slip grip. Discharger can charge two mobile devices at once and is compatible with all iPhone models down to the 4s. It's also compatible with iPads, iPad minis, Galaxy, Nexus phones, and more.



The charge cord features three different plugs for 3 different devices, so not only can you plug in two different devices, but you can also use that one cord to plug in different phones or tablets at once. It's genius.

This charger has definitely come in handy, and has found itself in my purse, in my car, in my laptop bag, and I even caught my husband taking it with him. I cannot stress how amazing this charger truly is, it has definitely become my favorite and has replaced others that I own. I highly recommend this product.

Ohuhu Relaxing Ocean Waves Night Light Projector Review

I have not come across a night light more beautiful than the Ohuhu Relaxing Waves Night Light Projector. This has become a must have every night when my little ones are going to bed. It has helped them relax and get comfortable, and get to sleep with more ease.

The Ohuhu Ocean Waves Night Light Projector has a series of several light colors and combinations. Reds, Blues, Greens, Purples, and then a combination of colors mixed. The light is bright enough to cover your entire ceiling, and the beam is wide enough, that it cascades on yours walls as well. It's so beautiful, and keeps my little ones comfortably relaxed as they try to fall asleep. Thanks to the Ohuhu night light, falling asleep is a lot easier.



(will be uploading new pics as soon as my camera cooperates.)

The Night Light Projector also has a speaker, that you can plug into your phone or tablet. The speaker isn't the loudest, nor the most powerful, but it does it's job, and it does it well. It's loud enough to hear throughout your room, and even from one room to another, but we usually just have on loud enough for the girls to hear is quietly, as they fall asleep.

With three brightness settings, the speaker, the bright light, and the beam, it's just the perfect addition to anyroom. For parties, or for falling asleep, even for just relaxing at home on the couch with a good book. This light projector is definitely a great addition to any room, or to any decor.

The Ohuhu Relaxing Ocean Waves Night Light Projector is available on Amazon.com, for $21.99. Check out the reviews now, and get your own Ohuhu Projector today.

Covergirl Products featured in Influensters I Do VoxBox

As I mentioned before, I was so fortunate to receive the I Do VoxBox Courtesy of Influenster. I received some amazing products, and among those were 2 awesome Covergirl makeup items. 

First was the Covergirl Outlast Stay Luminous Foundation, a foundation that I found to work very well on my skin. The formula was a bit runny, but it applied nicely on my skin. I used my beauty blender, rather than a makeup brush, to apply it and it worked best. The foundation has beautiful golden flecks in it, that iluminate your face, especially out in the sun. It give a beautiful noticeable glow, that even my husband noticed. I would rate this a 9 out of 10, and would recommend it to anyone who is stuck in the horrid summer heat like I am down here in South Texas. This product is available wherever Covergirl is sold. It retails for about $10. 




The second Covergirl item I received was the Covergirl Outlast Longwear + Moisture Lipstick in number 935, color: Into the Fuchsia. Oh my goodness, I LOVE this color. It's bright, it's bold, and it's so much fun. I love that I can dab it on lightly for a day look, or slap it on bold for a statement making evening look. I do recommend carrying this product around with you, to reapply, because it does need some touching up. It's available anywhere Covergirl is sold, and retails for about $7.00.


I am absolutely thrilled to have been chosen to review these products free, and can not thank Influenster and Covergirl enough. Here's to the next VoxBox. 

I'm a member of Influenster, and received these products free, in exchange for an honest review. All opinions are 100% my own. 

Influenster I Do VoxBox

I was fortunate enough to be chosen to review the contents of the Influenster I Do VoxBox. The Box was full of amazing products, most of which I absolutely loved. I'll get into more detail below about each of the products provided.

1. SkinnyGirl Nutrition Bar: My box came with 1 SkinnyGirl Nutrition Bar in Dark Chocolate Almond with Coconut. It was so delicious, and I found myself wanting more. It was definitely satisfying, but the taste was so amazing, that I totally wished I had another bar. The one down side was that this bar does have quite a bit of sugar. And, they're quite pricey. They retail for $4.99 for a box of 4.





2. Sahale Snacks: The second snack featured in my I Do VoxBox was a bag of Sahale Snacks in Berry Macaroon Flavor. It was a mix of Almonds, Cashews, Blue Berries, and Coconut flakes. The mixture was sweet, and lightly salted, and just an all around amazing trail mix of sorts. I can definitely see why this product would be awesome for weddings. No mess, easy to share, and very delicious. They retail for just under $2.00.


3. URGENT Rx Ache & Pain Relief To-Go: This product was a one time use packed of pain reliever in powder form. I've used powder form pain relievers before, but this one was like no other. The Urgent Rx Brand flavors their powders, to give you a more pleasant taste when you take it, making them delicious, and effective. You can find this product online on Drugstore.com where they retail for about $7.00 for a box of 10. They also come in several different varieties, ranging form heartburn relief, to allergy relief and beyond. Definitely something for everyone.


4. Neutrogena Hand Cream: This product is nothing short of amazing, it's fragrance free, which is perfect for anyone who might be sensitive to scented products. I loved this simply because it was so light, and didn't require you to put on a whole bunch of product to coat your hands. A little goes a long way. It soaks in immediately, and doesn't leave a greasy film on your hands, nor does it feel caked on either. A+ for Neutrogena.




5. Indeed Labs Nanoblur: Now this product... Ahhh, I wish I could say I loved it. I mean, I was so looking forward to trying it out, and I just couldn't get it to work properly for me. I followed instructions, and applied as recommended, and it just didn't work. You are not to rub it in, more like pat it on, but even doing so over my foundation, it seemed to move my foundation around, leaving blotchy marks on my face. I didn't not like the way it looked, it definitely did not leave my face looking even. 



6. Cover Girl Outlast Stay Luminous Foundation: Runny, that's what this product is, surprisingly though. I LOVED it. It was easy to apply, and gave a smooth and even coverage. I suggest applying it with a beauty blender, or makeup sponge rather than a makeup brush to get the best effect. I loved the luminous feel it gave my face. It had a beautiful shimmer, and just gave off nice flecks in the sunlight. It's lightweight, and moisturizing. Perfect for the South Texas summers.




7. Covergirl Outlast Long wear Lipstick: Oh this lipstick is a beauty. I absolutely loved the color. It's easy to take it from a subtle everyday look, by dabbing it on your lips, to a bold evening look, when you slap that lipstick on. I received Number 935 Into the Fuchsia, and the color was bright and bold. It's gorgeous. I would really recommend this. Be sure to keep it on you though, because even thought it says long-wear, it does tend to wear off after a while.



Overall, this box was amazing. I am ever so grateful to Influenster, and all the featured brands for allowing me to be a part of such an amazing VoxBox. Here's to future boxes for you and I. I hope the next box is in the near future for us all.

Indeed Labs Nanoblur Influenster Review

I received the Indeed Nanoblur courtesy of Indeed Labs as a part of my Influenster I Do Vox Box. I was so excited to try this product, and put it to use immediately after receiving. The Nanoblur is an instant corrector of the appearance of skin aging, including the look of fine lines, wrinkles, enlarged porse, and crows feet. It's a lightweight serum like formula, with almost no scent. I was definitely looking forward to trying this out.


This product can be used with or without makeup. So I first tried it with makeup. You are to pat it gently over liquid foundation or under pressed/loose powder. I patted it, not rubbed into my skin, and just could not get it to settle on my skin properly. It almost felt like I needed to use the entire tube to cover my face. It did not feel like it spread over my skin evenly, nor did it feel like I had put anything on my skin. Not only this, but placing this over my foundation only moved my foundation around, making it look entirely too blotchy, and like a 5 year old put the makeup on my face.

The following day, I tried it without makeup. All you have to do is apply over moisturized skin, and again, as it did with makeup, it didn't feel right. It was an odd formula, that seemed to be blotchy on my face. It just didn't feel comfortable.

I essentially gave up on this product, and decided it wasn't for me. Maybe I'm using it wrong, or shouldn't expect to use it on my entire face. But if it's an instant corrector, used to make your skin look more even, wouldn't you use it on your entire face?

I don't know, it definitely was the disappointment of the box in my opinion. The Indeed Labs Nanoblur is available on Ulta.com for $19.99. It is a 4 out of 5 star product, so it must be good for others.

That is just genius Samsung Galaxy S5 charge cord review

I'll be honest. The Samsung Galaxy S5 is not my favorite phone. In fact, the screen started cracking today, and I can't figure out why. It's been hard to love this phone, especially with all the flaws it has. Although it isn't my favorite phone, I am still attached to it. I am on it so much throughout the day, and find that my battery dies quicker and quicker each time.

I'm constantly plugging it in, to keep it charged. and I'm always needing to carry an extra cord with me to charge it on the go. I always hated taking my stock cord, because I felt that was the best one for me, and I needed to keep it safe at home, where it wouldn't mess up.

I started using the That is just Genius brand of charger for the Galaxy S5, and have found that though it's not as powerful as the stock charger that came with my cell phone at purchase, it still gets the job done. It works well, and transfers data for me when I want to upload something to my laptop.

Their listing on Amazon does say that you can fully charge your phone in 2-3 hours. This isn't fast enough for me, because of what I mentioned before, I use my phone a whole lot. So I needed it to charge faster than 2-3 hours.

I do like having this as a back up cord. It's actually become my bedside charger, because I can let it charge overnight, when my phone isn't in use. So this is definitely a great charger for that purpose. If you'd like to win a charge cord of your own, click my giveaway below. You can also purchase one on Amazon for a really good price. It retails for only $7.99 and is Amazon Prime eligible. Click the link below, and get yours now.

Procella Travel Umbrella

It's funny how the weather works down here in South Texas... I was on the hunt for a great umbrella for a while, because the rainy weather we were having was so horrible that homes were being flooded, cars stranded, and bridges overcome with water. Not only this but my parents home suffered a tremendous amount of rain damage, that's how horrible the rain was down here.

Fast Forward 2 months or so... We're now early August. The sun is horrid, but the rain has stopped. Of course it stops when I finally get my hands on one of the most amazing umbrella's I've ever owned. I was already impressed by the packaging of the umbrella. It was in a nice soft to the touch box, with a clear window on top that allowed you to see the umbrella itself. I slid the lid off the box, and saw one of the most well constructed, toughest looking umbrellas.

As I said previously, there hasn't been any rain. BUT! The sun out here is brutal and often calls for an umbrella, so it's definitely getting some great use. The black canopy, is quite dark, and thick, that it works so great for blocking out the sunlight.








The Procella Travel Umbrella features a thick 42" double black canopy, that holds it's own during even the strongest winds or rains. The top canopy layer, is about half the size of the rest of the umbrella. It allows for the winds to travel between the two canopy's, which helps to keep it from flipping inside out, like other umbrellas tend to do during rough storms. I never realized how handy a feature like this could be, considering here in South Texas where I live, we're notorious for strong tropical storm force winds on any given day. This was a huge bonus for me personally.



The rod in the center of the Procella Umbrella is made of fiber glass and comes in a hexagonal shape rather than your traditional round shape. This reduces it's chances for bending during a bad storm. With the press of a button, it's easy to extend your umbrella for use. A second press of the button brings your umbrella back down, and eliminates the chances of you or anyone using the Procella Umbrella getting pinched.

The strong Velcro strap used to secure the canopy for storage, is strong, it's thick, and doesn't have any signs of being sewn on cheaply. It's on there pretty good, and holds your huge umbrella in place nicely. The umbrella itself is lightweight, and very compact. It makes it easy to carry around with you anywhere, so that you do not find yourself in the middle of an unexpected storm. I love taking it out to my nephews football practice because as I mentioned before, the sun out here is brutal. We're topping a heat index of low 100's, so an umbrella this nice is a must.

The Procella Umbrella is available on Amazon.com. I can not tell you enough just how amazing it is. I get asked about it quite often, and I'm always happy to point people in the right direction to purchase. So if you're looking for a nice umbrella, one that will stand up to the elements, and hold its own. Look no further than the Procella Umbrella. Click the link below to get yours today.
