Neighbor's Mansion

Ayay, I can't believe I'm spying my neighbor's mansion through google earth. They're ranch/farm owners. Aside from this ginormous house, they have their own lake too! Across that lake is where we live. 

Fairy Tale High Dolls


My 7-year old never got into dolls until she was close to six years old. That is correct! I think it was after Christmas when she started liking and playing with dolls. 

Recently, I was given the opportunity to work with the Fairy Take High Dolls by S-K Victory.The daughter was very ecstatic when she found out about the good news. She never had this kind of doll before. So having this kind of doll was truly an awesome treat for.
She got three of them! Meet Alice, Cinderella, and Little Mermaid. 
Fairy Tale High features a collection of beautifully designed 11.5" fashion dolls toting today's trendiest clothes, hairstyles and designer shoes. They even have a series of webisodes and eBooks found for free at www.fairytalehigh.com, that showcase each character’s teenage story, revealing the qualities that will eventually make them princesses and the not-so-perfect flaws that trip them up along the way. 
My daughter loved her new Fairy Tale High Dolls. I thought they're fashionably cute and sassy! I'm surprisingly impressed with the quality. Each doll has a fully articulated bodies that enable girls to create stories, posing and bringing together characters for the first time. There's actually 8 of them, and now my daughter wants to collect them all! I guess I'll get her some for Christmas.

Enter the magical world of Fairy Tale High, a place where magic happens and beloved fairy tale characters come together for the first time ever in a modern-day high school setting. Toting the latest accessories and sporting designer fashions and hip hairstyles, teenage Snow White, Rapunzel, Belle, Sleeping Beauty, Little Mermaid, Alice in Wonderland, Tinker Bell and Cinderella are brought to life as they might have been before they became fairy tale princesses.

These dolls would make a great gift and are perfect for little girls ages 3 and up! For more details or would like to order, you should visit fairytalehigh.com. Like them on Facebook or follow them on Twitter for updates and promotions. So what are you waiting for? They are also available nationwide at Toys R Us stores, select Wal-Mart stores and online retailers.

I received one or more of the products mentioned above for free using Tomoson.com. Regardless, I only recommend products or services I use personally and believe will be good for my readers.

Natural and Organic Hair Care from Conceived by Nature

My daughter loves her long hair, but hates having her hair brushed. Her wavy hair gets tangled very easily, and brushing her hair was a struggle every day.

I'm glad I found a great product that works wonders, introducing Conceived by Nature. Conceived by Nature is a completely natural and organic hair care line that combines the finest synergy of essential oils, herbs, micro-enriched proteins, and other natural ingredients blended precisely to fortify and nourish hair, leaving it soft, strong and shiny.
I first tried the Instant Styling Detangler on my daughter's hair.  It's a light spray that doesn't make her hair look or feel greasy after being used, which I liked. I was very pleased with the result. Instant Styling Detangler  is a water-based, leave-in styling spray that is the answer for hard to comb hair. This is the ultimate solution for knots and tangles.
And on the next day, I had her try the Restorative Rosemary Shampoo and Restorative Rosemary Conditioner. The shampoo and conditioner worked great and made her hair silky smooth, leaves her hair soft, tangle free and made it easier to brush. The smell is amazing!
Now we don't have any more fights over brushing hair in this house. Thanks Conceived by Nature! I highly recommend this natural and organic hair care from Conceived by Nature. It's wonderful for the whole family,  great for all types of hair, it's natural and organic, plus it's safe for kids.

Wooohooo, it's Fall and here comes the pumpkin season once again! You know what that means don't you? I always think about Halloween every time I see pumpkins. Halloween is one of the exciting events that happen here in America and in some parts of the world. Kids and adults love to dress up and go trick or treating. My daughter is looking forward to do that this year. She can't wait to show off her pirate costume!
My daughter loved her new pirate costume. The white dress is long sleeved and fashioned like a traditional pirate blouse. Over the top of the dress is an intricate red and black overlay. Attached to this dress is a cross belt that matches the waist belt. The belt even includes a small dagger. For the most authentic pirate look, it included boot covers that turn any pair of shoes into the perfect pirate boots. To top the whole look off a mini hat is fastened to the headband. This is one look that will add sass to the high seas. It's really cute!
I got this Captain Cuteness Pirate Childs Costume at wholesalehalloweencostumes.com. The costume comes with shirt dress with attached cross belt, waist belt, dagger, boot covers, headband with mini hat.

Garlic Gold is a locally made, handcrafted, artisanal, gourmet garlic food line that you'll always want to have a spot for in your kitchen cabinet. Made from two of the original super foods, Organic Garlic and Extra Virgin Olive oil, their crunchy flavored nuggets, oils, spreads and vinaigrette, are the perfect condiment(s) to sprinkle or drizzle onto your food! 
I really enjoyed using Garlic Nuggets on my cooking. They're crunchy and flavorful. I can use them as a gourmet topping on anything, including salads, pizza, sushi, baked & mashed potatoes, popcorn, pastas, and a lot more. They are a perfect non-salt substitute for bacon bits. These condiments can also make a great sodium free alternative to flavor your meals. One thing I love about Garlic Nuggets is that it's Organic! These gourmet delights are sure one of a kind. I would highly recommend this product to everyone.
Try some of their gourmet garlic food products.
For those “grill masters” out there, Garlic Gold not only offers a tasty twist to the food being prepared, but will make your taste buds burst whether used to sauté, roast, scramble, or simply shake on your favorite treats!
