Vtech Switch & Go Dinos Turbo: RC Triceratops

dino

Disclosure: Items mentioned in this post were sent for review purposes only, all opinions are 100% honest.

Bronco the RC Triceratops is the first remote control dinosaur from Switch & Go Dinos® Turbo by VTech®! Bronco is a 2-in-1 electronic toy that fuses dinosaurs and vehicles into one awesome play experience. With the push of a button on his remote control, Bronco transforms from a fierce triceratops to a sleek race car.

                      20141207_100625[1]

Aidan LOVES both dinosaurs and remote control cars, so I knew he would love the Switch & Go Dino. Vtech has combined two of Aidan’s favorite things into one with this, and he loves playing with it. I don’t think he has stopped playing with it since it came. What little boy wouldn’t love a car that transforms into a dinosaur at the push of a button?

20141207_095743 20141207_100026

This is a super cool learning toy as well. In dinosaur mode, it tells your child random dinosaur facts. It has an LCD screen that displays animation eyes for the dinosaur & animation driver for the race car. I thought that was pretty awesome.

The remote is easy to hold for both my son and 5 year old daughter. It’s easy to figure out and manage even for the smallest kids. You can even use the turbo charge lever to charge his turbo boosters. Then, press the turbo boost button to give him a burst of speed!

I love it because it is very well made with high quality materials- I don’t have to worry that it’s going to break or fall apart. It’s heavy and durable, unlike some remote control toys. It was also super easy to set-up. It takes all AA batteries, which is a plus. I don’t like getting toys that take special batteries, because they are harder to find and can be expensive.

 

  • Move forward, backward, left and right using the remote control in vehicle and dino mode

  • Use the turbo charge lever to charge his turbo boosters, and press the turbo boost button to give him a burst of speed

  • 2-in-1 toy easily transforms from a dinosaur to a vehicle with the push of a button on the remote control

  • LCD screen displays cool dinosaur eyes and driver animations

  • Learn dinosaur facts and hear wild sound effects

  • 70+ wild sounds and phrases

If you are looking for an amazing toy that will withstand a little boys rambunctious nature, this is definitely it. I can’t believe how strong and durable this is!

Bodycology Blackberry Vanilla Bath & Body Products

20141030_153329

Disclosure: The items mentioned in this post were sent for review purposes only; all opinions are 100% honest.

Bodycology is my go-to beauty company. They have the most amazing scent mixtures priced so that every woman on any budget can enjoy. I am also flattered that their products are free of parabens and phthalates. They do business right- high quality products that are affordable and paraben free!

Bodycology Blackberry Vanilla is nothing short of fantastic. It is a sensational blend of blackberries, amber, and rose. These ingredients give off a beautiful mixture that isn’t too overpowering or sweet. It’s refreshing and sensual at the same time. This has a crisp yet creamy fragrance, and is one of my all-time favorites! I love it!

Really smells like freshly picked blackberries but it isn’t too fruity smelling or too sweet. It’s just the right mixture of tart and sweet. It is a playful, warm, sensual scent -- the blackberry and vanilla play very well together. The amber & sandalwood bring out an underlying sexy allure. The amber and rose tone down the berries and blend it into a delicious, stimulating scent.

Top notes: Sugared Blackberries & Citrus Creme

Mid Notes: Cassis Flower, Black Plum, & Sugared Rose

Dry Notes: Velvet Amber, Creamy Sandalwood, & Warm Musk.

Blackberry Vanilla Foaming Body Wash

blackberry wash

It’s super rich and luxurious, and definitely helps replenish and rejuvenate with it’s fresh, sensual scent. I can dribble a little  bit into the running bath water, and wait for the delicious scent to fill the bathroom. Just a tiny amount makes tons of bubbles. I love kicking back in the bathtub and letting the stress melt away with hot water, some music, and this body wash. Itis very foaming, so it’s also perfect to use as a bubble bath (and you don’t have to use very much at all.)

Bodycology Blackberry Vanilla Body Mist

           blackberry

  • Scent of tangy blackberries drenched in cream
  • Conditioning and hydrating honey and aloe vera
  • For a splash of fragrance and energy, spritz lightly on wrists, neck, and shoulders.

    Blackberry Vanilla Lotion

    blackberry lotion

    It's a luxurious rich consistency, it’s very creamy and soaks nicely into the skin. I love that this isn’t soupy and it has at least an hour staying power. I carry this in my purse at all times now, I absolutely LOVE it.

    It doesn’t just smell amazing, it is also very nourishing. It blends Aloe Vera, Shea Butter, and Vitamins E & C to heal and protect your skin. I'll put this on in the mornings and then at night right before bed, and it keeps my skin hydrated & soothed.

    I make sure I have at least one Bodycology lotion on hand at all times. I keep some in my bathroom, in my purse, and even on my nightstand. I desperately loathe the dry-skin feeling and make sure to apply lotion randomly throughout the day. Bodycology products aren’t greasy at all, and that’s one of the reasons I love them so much.

    Blackberry Vanilla Moisturizing Body Cream

    blackberry creme

    Bodycology Blackberry Vanilla Body Cream are formulated with Shea, Cocoa butter, Jojoba Butter, Vitamin E, & Aloe. It feels so amazing thanks to the moisturizing aloe vera, shea butter and nourishing vitamins E and C.

    • Moisturizing aloe vera
    • Shea butter

    I love the Bodycology Body Creams because they are so creamy and moisturizing. My skin ends up crazy dry in the fall and winter. The Body Creams helps put the nourishment back inside my skin that the cold weather steals, and takes away the itchiness. I love the smell and the fact that I don’t have to use very much at all.

    These creams do leave an amazing protective coating behind on the skin, which is smooth (not oily). I love that I can immediately put my clothes on after applying. I don’t have to worry that my clothes are going to look oily or greasy because of any residue. I love to use this on my just shaved legs, it feels amazing.

    Have you tried any Bodycology Blackberry Vanilla products yet? Thoughts?

    SoftSoap Holiday Body Wash Collection (Limited Edition 2014)

    softsoap

    The items mentioned in this post were sent from Colgate-Palmolive for review purposes only; all opinions are completely honest.

    Softsoap has three new limited edition Holiday inspired body washes; Alpine Mint Frost, Venetian Vanilla Spice, and Parisian Berry Bliss. Christmas is my favorite holiday and I love decking out my house in Holiday scents, so I was super excited to try these body washes. They double as bathroom decor, haha.

    As far as lather goes, these are all nice and creamy. They make amazing bubble baths as well, because they bubble up so well. I can squirt just a tad bit under hot running water and the entire tub fills with luxurious bubbles. The scents fill my bathroom and leave thoughts of a Winter Wonderland behind.

    I’ve always been a huge fan of Softsoap and their variety of products. Not only do they have too many that I LOVE, but they are ALL affordable. Not to mention that all the body washes leave me feeling super clean, my skin nourished & moisturized, and not sticky or too dry.

    Softsoap® Alpine Mint Frost

    From Softsoap- Lose yourself in the beauty of winter with our limited edition Alpine Mint Frost body wash. It’s invigorating scent will leave your skin soft and smooth all winter long.

    This body wash is definitely embracing the magic of the winter season. When I opened the cap, visions of candy canes and peppermint sticks floated through my mind. I really like this creamy, fresh peppermint scent- it’s definitely very Christmasy. It isn’t too overpowering but the scent lingers.

    I’ve never smelled anything that was scented this close to a real peppermint. It doesn’t have that overpowering Bengay mint smell that some mint scented products do. It’s scented with “Cool Winter Mint”. It’s just sad that this is a limited edition, because you can’t help but think of Christmas trees with hanging peppermint sticks and candy canes. :D

    This is very relaxing and yet rejuvenating at the same time. This is perfect for bubble baths too! Light a candle, fill up the bathtub, and relax. I detect a light scent after I get out of the shower, but it fades pretty quickly. With peppermint scents, that’s pretty amazing. I don’t want to smell like a giant peppermint stick long after I’ve rinsed off.

    The consistency is amazing. Not too thick yet not too thin and watered down. Produces amazing amounts of bubbles, and the peppermint smell is so refreshing.

    Softsoap® Parisian Berry Bliss

    From Softsoap: Celebrate the spirit of the season with Softsoap® brand limited edition Parisian Berry Bliss body wash. This moisturizing formula leaves skin feeling soft and smooth, while the festive scent of red winter berries leaves you ready to enjoy winter.

    This body wash is an invigorating, delicious blend of winter berries. It smells just like holly and juniper berries. Very sweet and lingering, I love it. It is very fruity and fresh, makes me happy every time I use it. My kids love this as a bubble bath, as do I. It’s very refreshing!

    I totally wish they had a lotion to go with this, I’d so buy it. This could be used in the fall season as well, the berry scent is amazing and not too overpowering.

    Softsoap® Venetian Vanilla Spice

    Embrace the magic of the winter season with Softsoap® brand limited edition Venetian Vanilla Spice body wash. Let the invigorating scent of Sweet Vanilla & Spices infuse your shower to leave you with soft and smoother skin all winter long.

    I am a HUGE vanilla scent fan as you all know. This is almost at the top of my list of favorites though. This is sweet, creamy, and reminds me of baking sugar cookies. The spices aren’t too strong, just very subtle. I absolutely LOVE this and it’s staying power. It smells incredible, but not too foody like some vanilla scents tend to have.

    This layers very well with the Softsoap Vanilla Brown Sugar lotion and spray.

    Get them: These are all available at your nearest Wal-Mart for under $4.

    One Step Ahead 2-in-1 Easel Desk

    onestepahead desk post
    Disclosure: Items mentioned in this post were sent for review purposes only; all opinions are 100% honest.

    My kids love anything that has to do with creating. They could paint, draw, color, and craft for hours at a time. Aidan loves to draw and write, while Adisyn prefers to color. Now they can do both with the One Step Ahead 2-in-1 Easel Desk.
    one step ahead
    There are so amazing things to love about this desk. The first is the colorful unique design. Most desks are made of just plain wood, which lacks personality. This one has a bright orange color.
                           osa

    The dry erase part comes with 2 dry erase markers- black and blue and an eraser. I love that they now have their own small space to learn, draw, and grow their super-amazing imaginations.They can sit and do their homework, play school, or just hang out and write.

    one step ahead3  onestep adi

    I love that it also has an attachment rod at the top that holds rolls of paper. The paper can be flipped either way- towards the easel or towards the desk. Of course this is a sanity saver for me. Anybody with more than one child knows what it’s like to have kids arguing because “mommy Adi isn’t taking turns” or “mommy Aidan won’t share”. Now there isn’t a sharing issue. One can use the chalkboard while one writes or colors on the paper.

                       one step ahead6

    The easel has a chalkboard on one side. Below the chalkboard are 6 colorful baskets to sort and organize their art and craft supplies. There are two rods that hold the baskets in place, with 3 baskets to a row. Since there are two rows with 3 baskets, each of my kids get their own row with 3 variety colored baskets. 

    one step ahead2

    The Easel/chalkboard part of the desk is accompanied with packs of chalk both colored and white as well as an eraser. I really loved that One Step Ahead really thought of everything! They made it so much easier on me, because they wanted to draw and write immediately after the desk was put together. What a bummer it would have been to tell them I didn’t have any chalk.

    one1one
    The bench-style seat that comes with the desk also doubles as a storage space. Adisyn and Aidan use it as their hiding hole, storing their toys. I think it would be a cute place to store books and larger craft supplies that won’t fit in the buckets.

    This desk/easel isn’t only a sanity saver, but a space saver as well. Although we have a 3 bedroom house, the rooms are on the small side after the regular furniture. I love that this doesn’t take up much space. They have plenty space to move around and play.

    Winter weather is here, which means more time spent indoor. My kids love spending time outside, but they can’t stay out there very long. This gives them a space of their own to while away the time on the days that it’s just too darn cold to play outside.

    This is the perfect gift that combines playing with a love of learning. This is definitely not a gift that will easily be tossed aside and forgotten about in a week. Aidan, Adisyn, and my niece Dezi all absolutely love the desk. Whoever you get this for will certainly be thanking you for a long time.

    Get it: One Step Ahead 2-in-1 Easel Desk.
