Mama's Blog
I don't know about you, but when I get my camera out to take pictures, my little kids both want to take pictures too! I cannot just hand them over my camera, that is for sure. So, when I heard about an opportunity to review a Dora The Explorer Talking Digital Camera, I jumped on that!
Not only do my kids love to take pictures, the absolutely love Dora the Explorer, so this is a sweet deal for them! I received the camera and of course my children fought over it, sigh. So, I told them that if they both took turns, we could then go to the computer and make a little album of all of their favorite photos that they each take. They were more willing to cooperate after that!
So, my daughter went first. Running around inside and out, snapping photos of just about everything she could find. The feature she loved best, of course, was Dora's little phrases that she said with every click of the camera! Dora says 3 phrases :) But, the fun does not stop there! The Dora SnapShots software lets your child create albums, write a story, and play 5 games! Fun fun fun!
Next, it was my sons turn to snap pictures. He ran everywhere too, but focused more on my husbands tires and truck parts, LOL. Such a boy!
The Dora the Explorer Talking Digital camera does not come with batteries (it takes 2 AA batteries), so make sure you have those on hand when you buy it. Other than that is comes with:
- Holds up to 120 images
- Camera says 3 phrases
- Includes software to create albums, play games, and write a story
- Package includes camera, USB cable, software suite, and user manual
Quite a nice little package. The only thing that I did not like about this camera was that it seems like it could be broken more easily and my kids drop a lot of things. Also the battery cover comes off way too easily, so I had to tape ours. Otherwise, it is an inexpensive camera (retails for only $24.99) that my kids just love and can do what they want with and they like that! I also wanted to say that I would love to see this camera have a little picture viewer on the camera, so kids can see what they have already taken pictures of instead of having to run to the computer each time.

Organic, Holistic and Chemical Free! Made From Earth's line of organic skincare essentials contain the highest possible levels of certified organic ingredients and fruits. They have searched the entire USA for ingredients that meet their earth-friendly requirements and are hand-selected to provide you with exceptional skincare. Now, that is a company I want to buy from!
I contacted Made From Earth, because I was very interested in their products. They sounded wonderful and they were good for you. They agreed to send me some product. I received the product rather quickly, that is always nice to not have to wait a long time for your things to arrive. I tore into the package and was delighted at the little goodies that were laying in front of me. Excited to try them out and put them to my test!
I received a sample of the Green Tea Toxic Cleanser, Rooibos Tea Facial Scrub, Tea and Protein Shampoo, Rosehip and Hibiscus Face Serum and the Vanilla Organic Lip Balm.
All of these products were great. I really am enjoying the Vanilla Organic Lip Balm the most! It is wonderful and keeps my lips so soft. With the shampoo, since my hair is so very thick it was hard to tell, with the amount I was given, to really test out the shampoo. I probably only got to halfway shampoo my thick hair, but it smelled nice. The Face Serum is very moisturizing and I love how it makes my face feel after I have applied it. The facial scrub is wonderful. I use it twice a week and it leaves my face feeling very soft and smooth. The Green Tea Toxic Cleanser is more like a lotion. So it is very very moisturizing.
All in all, the products are great. They are free from any of the bad stuff and good for your skin. I like that!

"eos fits a woman's sense of style and also lets her have fun in the process of getting more beautiful"
Everything about eos from their ingredients to their unique packaging, is so wonderful! I contacted eos in hopes of reviewing for them. They said yes, and so I was very happy! I received the eos Lip Balm and Shave Cream to review.
The packaging is indeed, unique. I love it! Easy to hold and soft and smooth feeling in my hands (the packaging). I received the lip balm in honeysuckle honeydew!! The lip balm is in a round, soft and smooth container. You just unscrew the lid and inside is a round mound of the most deliciously scented and moisturized lip balm ever, just waiting to be put on your lips! This lip balm not only has a unique container it comes in, but it is also just a wonderful lip balm. It keeps my lips very moisturized throughout the day and they taste kind of good too :) TheShave Cream is dreamy. Oh. My. Goodness. I LOVE LOVE LOVE the scent of the shave cream that I received. It is called Lavender Jasmine, and it is just seriously one of the best scents I have ever put onto my skin. The Shave Cream is very creamy, it does not lather or foam up, but goes on like lotion, completely. It provides a very smooth shave and leaves my legs soft, smooth and smelling oh so nice! Think clean laundry scent!
Some Shave Cream Features:
- So moisturizing, you can shave wet or dry, leaving skin soft and smooth.
- Non-foaming cream enriched with natural aloe, oat, and shea butter soothes while boosting skin's moisture level.
- Antioxidant vitamins E & C help skin look radiantly healthy.
- Comes in a soft-touch recyclable bottle that won't leave a rust ring in your tub.
- Paraben-free (pomegranate raspberry, vanilla bliss, lavender jasmine and cucumber aloe).
Is it bad to say that I also use this as body lotion on my body? LOL, because I DO! I am not sure if you are suppose to, but I do, and I have not noticed anything different from other body lotions, so I will continue to shave AND moisturize with this wonderful Shave Cream! So glad that I found it :)
Lip Balm Features:
- Long-lasting moisture
- Shea butter & vitamin E
- Smoothes on clear
- New smooth sphere precisely glides on to lips
- Twist-off top
- Gluten-free
- Paraben-free
- Petrolatum-free
- Phthalate-free
eos lip balm is 95% organic, 100% natural, and paraben and petrolatum free. Packed with antioxidant-rich vitamin E, soothing shea butter and jojoba oil, eos keeps your lips moist, soft and sensationally smooth.

Christopher Drummond makeup is like no other: 100% natural, vegan, made with organic ingredients. These are products not only good for your skin, but good for the environment. What woman would not want this on her face?
"We have pledged to make the world a more beautiful place – one face at a time"
I had the opportunity to review one of Christopher Drummond's newest sets, The Women's Gift Set. This is the perfect gift for yourself or the woman who wants to try a few products at one time. The elegant gift set includes three (3) Veludo Velvet Foundation colors, Saude Pele Radiance Booster, Sol Bronze, Revitalizing Facial Serum and the Animal Friendly Flat Top Brush. It is Available in Light, Medium and Dark gift sets. I received the medium toned set.
Of course I really like Christopher Drummond Beauty. It is natural makeup and good for my skin. I like how velvety the foundations feel and the colors are so pretty on my skin. I especially like the bronzer. It makes my skin shine with a deep tan. I apply it to my nose, cheeks and forehead. I also apply it to my neck and collar bones if I am wearing a lower cut shirt. It looks real and not orange or fake.
The serum is a MUST with powder foundations and bronzers. This particular serum is great for applying AFTER you already have the foundation on. I use just a tiny amount and blend it into my face to soften up lines that powder usually gives you. It smoothes everything out and leaves my skin soft and line free. Great stuff!
Don't forget to check out Christopher Drummonds "Tips & Tricks" page for some really great tips on putting on your makeup and keeping it real looking!
