I finally made the point to try out @dimebeautyco I finally made the point to try out @dimebeautyco ! I have heard so many great things about this brand, and I wanted to see for myself what it was all about. I have been using the TST Serum as well as this 3 Sample Perfume set! The TST Serum absorbs quickly and has been moisturizing so far. This Dime perfume though 🤩 It smells so good and is clean! I am very picky when it comes to perfume, and these are subtle and smell so good! #dimepartner #dimebeauty

There is no date like a Claydate 💕 No like Forr There is no date like a Claydate 💕 No like Forreal! I am obsessing over @tula ‘s new mask stick! It is literally the least messy mask ever. So why do I love it so much? 💙It’s great for those who want to fight breakouts & maskne, plus tighten the look of pores. 💙Is a no mess, clay mask stick that glides on smooth & washes off easily. 💙Ingredients include apple cider vinegar, witch hazel, & probiotics. 💙The formula is clean & effective-you don’t have to choose between skincare that’s healthy & skincare that works. 💙TULA is founded by a practicing doctor!

This Mediterranean clay is the best way to #sundayselfcare ! Check out the link in my bio to grabs yours and learn more 🥰

I can’t even express my excitement of finally ge I can’t even express my excitement of finally getting electricity after 48+ hours without it. We haven’t lost power like that since Gustav. Even though the sun hasn’t been shining here, I can’t quit thinking about it ☀️and this @bodyglovegirl ‘s activewear set from @thebragenie is legit! It is smooth like butter and is made with 50+ UPF protective fabric. Prayers to all those still waiting for their electricity to return and the heat ❤️

Gift Giving, Motherhood Tip & Tricks · August 20, 2020

Great Toy Finds at the Toy Insider Sweet Suite Event!

Planning ahead with great toy finds.

Planning a head is great for when it comes to gift buying. When I see a good deal on a product or find a toy that I know someone would absolutely love, I try and snatch it up. I was more than thrilled to be able to attend Toy Insider’s Sweet Suite Virtual event this year for more than one reason! Keep reading to see what all great toy finds I came across at this awesome event.

Products for all.

I was able to tour and see behind the scenes of so many different brands. From toys that were perfect for my toddler to those that would keep my 9 year old engaged. Products for educational purposes? Of course! This is particularly great for the times we are living in right now.

Are you looking for a specific toy for those special children in your life? Check out some of our favorite great toy finds at the Toy Insider’s Sweet Suite Virtual event that were sent to us in our Toy Insider’s Sweet Suite Swag Bag!

Toys with an educational touch.

Alright, I am going to start with all those brands that have an educational aspect. With so many of us keeping our children home during this back-to-school time, having products that make learning fun are a must! Here are some of my favorites:

Adventure Academy

Learning Resources

Fat Brain Toys

Educational Insights

Leap Frog

Building Sets and play sets that are more than blocks and toys.

We already know how much fun building sets can bring. Well, these are some new building sets that hit the mark on bringing so much more home!

Snap Ships : Ok, I need to say a little about these because I love them that much. Snap Ships are all about bringing 360-play to building sets. These sets can actually be played with after ‘snapping’ the blocks in place. There is also an interactive app that goes along with each set built and a series on YouTube. Y’all, we are all about these!

blockaroo: These magnetic foam blocks have a great STEM aspect!

Lego : I know these have been a favorite for a while now. I am mentioning them again because I am all about some of the game components they are adding to some of their sets!

Schleich : These play sets are unreal! Nicely made and look realistic!

Calico Critters : Fuzzy and cute!

Those with a surprise element are always a favorite and those plush toys.

We all know how much our kids love toys with a surprise element. Those that come with some sort of ‘surprise’ within.

Moose Toys: Moose Toys have been a part of my family for as long as I can remember! Here are some of our favorites: Oh! My Gif, Shopkins, Treasure X, Scruff A Luvs

Shoulderkins

Playful Pandas by Far Out Toys: These interactive panda toys are so cute! They will be coming out this fall and will link as soon as they are available!

Secret Crush Minis : Y’all, this surprise toy is so cute! Candyland game meets Candy Crush with the ability to ‘bang’ your way into the surprise box! So much fun and interactive.

Hatchimals

GoGo Gachas : Brings the fashionable charm aspect to the surprise toy!

Technology and gaming.

It is hard to believe how far we have come when it comes to the world of technology and gaming! I remember growing up play the very first Nintendo and Sega Genesis. Do y’all?

Nintendo

VTech

Family fun with game nights.

My kids love games! They may not always end pretty once there is a winner, but the game playing is always fun. Loving all the new games that are out that include more than 1 player!

Pokemon Battle Academy

The #UpsideDownChallenge

Dino Crunch

Pop IT!

Crafts and slime.

Ok, I could have possibly put this into the educational product list. I decided that these products needed a section for just themselves. My kids are huge fans of all things craft and slime-related. There were so many great brands with awesome products to bring crafts and the fun of slime home!

Chocolate Pen : Alright, I know this isn’t necessarily a ‘craft craft’, but it brings the crafting element to the kitchen by allowing for chocolate art creations!

3D Doodler

WeCool

Make it Real

The holiday season isn’t too far away.

Now is the best time to start creating those gifting list for all our children. The holidays will be here before we know it, and I am all for being prepared ahead of time. 2020 has already been a doozy, no need for any extra surprises 😉 Have y’all started buying gifts or creating a gift list yet?

Hugs!
