Reef Indy's First Pool Party

The solstice heralds the beginning of summer in the Northern Hemisphere. In 2014, the solstice falls on June 21 and is when the Sun reaches its farthest point north of the equator.

The warmer weather, swimming and kids just naturally go together well. However, it's important to take care to be safe while you're in or near the water. Please remember to maintain constant supervision and avoid distractions when supervising children around the pool.

Reef Indy really enjoyed his first pool party with friends and family.

Konjac Facial Sponge Review

Disclosure: I got this product as part of an advertorial.

The pureSOL Konjac sponge is completely natural and eco-friendly facial sponge free of parabens and chemicals. It's biodegradable, cruelty free & vegan. 

Oma loves using simple products that are pure and eco-friendly. However, those products must also do as it claims. The pureSOL Konjac sponge lives up to that standard.

Konjac is a moisture rich plant fibre which is by nature alkaline, and thus balances the acidity of the skin’s impurities and oils. The unique net like structure of the sponge gently massages the skin, breaks down dirt, stimulates blood flow and new growth of skin cells. Leaving the skin extremely clean and refreshed! Oma has enjoyed adding this little sponge to her facial care regime.

Konjac Facial Sponge Benefits:

IMPROVES SKIN TEXTURE: pureSOL Konjac Facial Sponge gently exfoliates while deep cleansing and removing any toxins and impurities, leaving you with a radiant complexion. It is extremely soft and gentle for everyday skin care. Great for all skin types.

BRIGHTER LOOKING SKIN: The natural woven fibers of the sponge gently massage the skin and stimulate blood flow. It detoxifies and encourages skin renewal while balancing the skins pH, leaving your skin extremely clean and refreshed!

PREVENTS SPOTS, BLACKHEADS AND BREAKOUTS: The added BAMBOO CHARCOAL contains activated carbon and essential minerals to deeply cleanse and absorb excess sebum, toxins and other harmful chemicals from your skin. You will see your pores getting smaller, tightening and brightening your skin.

100% NATURAL AND ECO-FRIENDLY: Why compromise your health with products that contain harsh chemicals and additives on your skin? pureSOL Konjac Sponge is completely natural, eco-friendly and free of parabens, sulphates & chemicals. It is biodegrade, cruelty free and vegan. After use, you can compost the sponge and feel good about the environment! You can even add it to your flower pot! At pureSOL our packaging is 90% compostable.

Remember to wash your towel in cold water and with similar colors; then tumble dry on low. Oma is keeping her Shandali UltraSport Travel in her car!  With an active new grandson, it is useful having a drying towel on hand.

KidCoder: Beginning Web Design Review

Disclosure: I got this product as part of an advertorial.

IGNITE A LIFELONG PASSION IN YOUR STUDENT!

 

The KidCoder Web Design courses are designed for 4th-12th grade students looking for a step-by-step introduction to designing their own web sites. HTML is the foundation of the World Wide Web. It's important for students interested in web design to begin with a solid grounding in good HTML techniques.

Some of the topics in this book include web site layout, HTML symbols, text styling, using hyperlinks, navigation bars, simple CSS effects, spacing and positioning, graphics and image editing, tables and more.

Students don't need prior programming or HTML experience. The KidCoder Web Design courses build all web design skills from the ground up.

Oma is not a homeschooler, but with a new grandson, am always on the look for new experiences that will stimulate him in increase his intellectual growth. Oma is really enjoying the "KidCoder: Beginning Web Design" course. The self-study curriculum is well organized and very easy to navigate. Although, Oma has not completed the course yet, it has already taught a lot about the art of web design. Oma cannot wait share this material with Reef Indy.

Healing Tree Bamboo Charcoal Soap Review and Giveaway

Disclosure: I got this product as part of an advertorial.

 

Lets Your Skin Breathe Again"

Healing Tree Bamboo Charcoal Soap is high in absorbency so it draws dirt from deep inside the pores. Unlike normal soaps that only clean the surface of your skin, this soap can free up a lot of dirt that clogs deep beneath your skin especially if you have acne, eczema, psoriasis, and dry/cracked skin.

Bamboo charcoal undergoes a firing process of 1,800 F to create high absorbency properties making it 4x more absorbent than wood charcoal. As a result, it cleanses your skin by removing years of accumulated dead skin cells.

With your pores re-opened, your skin will begin to begin to breathe again and naturally moisturize itself. There's no residue like other soaps, doesn't dry out your skin, and has no harmful chemicals. So if you want to feel what it's like to have your skin feeling like new, give this amazing soap a try!

Bamboo Charcoal Soap Benefits:

• Remove Dead Skin Cells
• Unclogs Pores
• Smoother Skin
• Natural Ingredients
• Hypoallergenic
• Detoxifying
• Fragrance Free

Made with 4 simple Ingredients:
Vegetable Oil, Water, Glycerin, and Bamboo Charcoal

What Oma loves about this product is that the company’s mission is to provide effective & affordable natural health products worldwide and at an affordable price - $3.99 for the Healing Tree Bamboo Charcoal Soap . Further they stand by their commitment to providing their patrons with outstanding customer service. If for any reason you are not pleased with the Healing Tree products, you can request a full Refund within 30-Days of your purchase.

Oma appreciates that this soap is fragrance free; hypoallergenic; contains no harmful chemicals; no dyes; and is not tested on animals! Yet it still does the job of cleansing Oma’s face and leaving it feeling soft and refreshed.
