Great for for Acne, Oily Skin, Blackheads, Eczema, Psoriasis.

Facial Mask Tightens and Purifies Pores leaving Clear, Younger Complexion

The mud dries nicely on your skin, not too much of a "pulling" feel. After a few weeks of use I see it clearing my pores and the Dead Sea minerals both pull toxins from my skin and nourish it - so my whole face looks brighter and healthier.

Over 21 Minerals Present in Dead Sea Mud Mask help to keep skin healthier and act as acne treatment

Meet #TheHappy's Playdate #Review

I'm so excited to share our latest MommyParty sponsored playdate toy. The Happy's...they are from Cepia the great company that brought us ZhuZhu Pets! They are s line of interactive motorized plush pets. We received a wonderful party pack so we could have loads of fun with these new friends.

Some of the Goodies

 Before we tried them out at the party we introduced them to the other members of the family.

Mittens of course was given just a little bit warmer welcome than some of the others.
The playgroup sure enjoyed them all...we found they preferred the hardwood and tile floors. It was a blast switching up the treats

Each The Happy’s plush pet comes with an Interactive Happy’s Treat, which is a handheld remote that allows children to “train” their pet to do specific tricks – chase a ball, sit up, dance, follow, spin, pounce, and play.So the more treats you have the more tricks your pets can do.

After a little play time we took a snack and craft brake

our cute pet collars

Then it was back to playtime! As Moms we loved that  just like real puppies they squeak and bark and play. The Happys are great for boys and girls too.

Although the smaller kids in the group didn't know how to use the treat 
controls--they sure had fun chasing the Happy's arounds and looking at
all the packaging checking out what other great Happy's toys are going to
be out soon!

You can find The Happys in ToysRUs, Wal-Mart,Target, Justice and Radio Shack.

We had a blast dancing with the Happys Dance
Check out the Director's Cut!

Thanks to Cepia and MomSelect.  I received free products to facilitate this review.  As always, all opinions are 100% my own.

Ozeri Artisan Series Beverage Glass #REVIEW

---

Made of durable, heat resistant, mouth-blown glass of the finest quality, the 12 oz. Serafino glasses are the largest in the Ozeri Artisan Series. 

 Borosilicate glass is stronger than common glass, shatter-resistant-- we didn't mean too but we've already put that claim to the test--with out a single chippor crack!  The Serafino's double-walled design, it offers the ultimate insulation to maintain drinks at their ideal temperature. The Serafino's unique double wall design suspends drinks within an inner wall for an attention-grabbing optical effect, while the wraparound contour provides a very easy grip. Each glass is made to keep your hands cool even with your hottest drinks great for when y our kids want a glass of hot coco after playing out in the snow. Also free of condensation with your chilled beverages. 

 Each set contains 2 handmade glasses designed for lifetime use. Can be found on Amazon. The Serafino glasses are completely dishwasher, microwave and freezer safe and ship in an elegantly printed and VERY carefully packaged. The set comes with a 1 year warranty.

I am loving the set I received so much I plan on ordering some of the other sizes available real soon.

Deluxe Light-Up Superman Boy's Costume #Review

What child would love to dress up like  Undercover Superhero of Clark Kent now thanks to the great selection of costumes  at wholesalehalloweencostumes you child can do it for Halloween, costume party, or just having fun!


The jumpsuit will give your son a huge chest, giant biceps, and a chiseled 6-pack that would make Superman and General Zod look small. I also love the safety straps on the boots. 

 But the coolest part about this costume is a switch, that when turned on, will light up the border of the Superman symbol on the chest.

He'll be brighter than the yellow sun and the red son combined. Great for when it starts to get dark when trick or treating. Buy the Light-Up Superman costume for boys, they will love acting out as this American cultural icon and it'll be a bigger hit than the box office smash, Man of Steel.

One small point to make about the fit of the costume.  They really run very true to size....but some like this one only have velcro tabs in the back that leave some exposure... if your are like me and your children are outside in the costume in a colder climate order a size larger giving room for another layer of clothing.

Keep your Super Hero warm and happy to show their stuff!!! Also The cape velcros around the neck, and made my son uncomfortable, so I told him we could  safety pinned it to his shoulders...problem solved!
