review #6: suave 2-1 cowabungo cocunut

This 2 in 1 is really just a shampoo! I wish they would advertise it like that because it does not work as a conditioner! The smell is really good, and all the other 2-1 they make too, but those are like this one, solely a shampoo. I still buy it for my daughter but I just use a conditioner as well. There really is not any other company that makes a child's shampoo and there for sure is not one that makes a 2 in 1...So I of course like the idea of this 2 in 1 and I would recommend buying it just make sure you purchase a conditioner to go with it.

Review #5: Coastal contacts for glasses



I received a pair of FREE glasses from coastal contacts when they were running a special a while back and couldn't be more satisfied!!
The glasses were originally around $400.00 and all I payed was shipping and handling!!($7.00)
When I first made the "purchase"  the original pair of glasses I received did not fit my face at all, although super cute they just didn't work! So I called the company and they sent me a return label to send the glasses back, free of charge of course!...Then refunded my $10.00 that was the price of shipping and handling for this pair and allowed me to pick out a new pair! Resulting in the one's I stated above! So they gave me the same deal and this time it was less!!
My glasses came ups about a week after I ordered them and they are high quality glasses in just the right shape for my face and the right lense for my eyes.
The only thing with them is that you must go to an eye doctor and get an exam so you know your prescription in order for them to process your order!...I highly recommend this company and If they are running a special for free glasses again I would definitely take them up on the offer. They really follow through and the 2 times I called them they had EXCELLENT customer service!...

Review 4: Vtech KidiZoom Plus Camera

PRO'S:
* Drop safe, At least so far!
* Good working Flash
* If your shakey the pic won't turn out bad!
* Shows two different views of the picture you are taking (one on the back as a screen and the other through little windows that are in the position for each eye!)
* Takes good pictures, that transfer well onto the comp. I haven't tried printing any off but after transfer they don't appear pix-elated or anything!
* Can record Video and take pictures!
*You can add fun frames, funny faces, etc.
* You can play games on it!

CON'S:
* The toggle switch to go between camera, video, view..could be a bit confusing.
* It runs off of AA batteries which don't last too long.

Would I recommend this!? Yep! It can do a ton of stuff, has a lot of bang for it's buck!!
 My daughter is 4 and she can't take enough pictures or video!...She has dropped it and it did no damage, its built well! I know someone who has a little boy with the simple version and that works just as well just less features. Her son is very "rambunctious" and throws it on cement and other things and it still works perfectly. I wouldn't recommend doing that, but it's an example of how well it is built. On Christmas I forgot my camera and all we had was this and it took excellent pictures, I am happy with the purchase!

Review 3: Pillow pets


It's A Pillow, It's a Pet, It's a pillow pet!!!

PRO'S:
*soft
*cudly
* child friendly
*combines a stuffed animal and a pillow in one!
 * the company sels, blankets, slippers, backpacks and a few other things that match the pet exactly!!

CON'S:
* you can't put a blankey inside of it, it is simply a pillow with a head!
* collecting more than one takes a lot of space up!

Would I recommend this!?
If your child asks for one, Yes...More than one it could become a little hectic! My daughter has 4 of them and they definitely take up space!.. Other than that I think they are really cute and could make any Child or sometimes Grown up delighted to receive one!!

Review 2: Vtech MobiGo





PRO'S:
* Touch Screen!
* Full "qwerty" keyboard.
* Available in pink, with purple. I am cuckoo when it comes to having my daughters toys in girl colors! It also comes in yellow and blue for boys or universal use!
* Not to bulky, yet not so small that kids can't hold it.
* the screen is a perfect size for the "toy"
* my daughter who is four LOVES it!..It challenges her and she can keep up with it at the same time.
* When I'm not teaching her new things this game is, the Dora game teaches spanish!
* The game that comes with it teaches counting, matching, music and all sorts of interactive games!

CON'S:
* It requires 4 AA Batteries which don't last too long.
* There are games you can download for FREE off the vtech website, however if you turn the game off or it powers down it will not save the game.
* It tells your child to have their parent go online and get their reward they won, however I have not figured out where or how to claim this reward!
* there are not that many games out for it, however it is a new toy so I believe the amount will progress!

Would I recommend this "Toy" Heck yes!.. :)  I think it is a perfect interactive toy for a child between the ages of I would say 2 and 6 maybe even older depending on the game! My 4 year old loves it, and  think she is getting good use out of it. It will run you around $50 dollars to Maybe $60.00 ( I wouldn't pay more than that!) for the system. Pretty good price for the entertainment value!

Review 1: Amazon Kindle

Pro's:
*My Kindle is easy to use
*Not to small and not to big, just right!
*It is the second edition(white) so there are things updated on it from the first version.
*I can download a ton of free books that are good books!
* If the books are not free they are close to it! Or at least a portion of the paper version.
* Downloading is super simple, I can sit in my room no make up hair a mess and make a purchase! How simple is that!
*I can set it down and it will automatically go into energy saving mode without losing my spot when I turn it on again!
* I don't have piles of books laying all over, I have them all on my little kindle and if it's a book I don't like I simply delete it!
* I can look at just about any web site from your kindle.
* I can post a quote directly to your myspace, facebook, etc. while reading!
*

Con's:
* If you want to read at night you have to buy a light, I wouldn't suggest buying anything else but a kindle brand...I bought a cheap one and it scratched my screen cover (another thing I would definitely buy for yours to keep it extra protected!)
* The battery fades quickly if you leave the wireless on, make sure you turn it off each time you are not loading books or searching the web.
*It is almost a necessity to buy a case for it and that is also sold separately.
* this could be a pro or a con, for me it was a con! You can download the kindle free to your iphone, comp. and a lot of other personal devices absolutely FREE! The only reason I consider it a con is because I payed close to $200.00 for mine, and I could get the same books and do the same things completely free from anything else!

Would I get another Kindle or recommend it to someone else, absolutely!..Why!? Because it is amazing, There are so many advantages to it that definitely out weigh the disadvantages!...Happy reading to you!!
