Dino Dan "Dino Party" DVD Review

As a member of the NSider, I was given another opportunity to review the Dino Dan Dino Party DVD. My daughters were excited to watch it specially my 4 year old who loves dinosaurs.

Here is a picture of them watching the Dino Dan Dino Party. They watched it 2x and were very attentive while they watched it. My 4 year old daughter liked the second episode the best. She loved the Stegosaurus and how the spikes changes color depending on the emotions of the Stegosaurus.

I like Dino Dan personally as a mom because the show keeps my daughters entertained and at the same time, they learn about dinosaurs in a very subtle and simple way that they'll remember the name of the dinosaurs. My 2 year old also liked the show and watched it together with my 4 year old.

Here is a brief description of the DVD:

Join Dan as he tries to save his mom's garden from a sneaky Compognathus by dino-trapping it!  However, his plan goes wrong when he ends up trapping a baby T-rex instead.  Will Dan ever capture the Compsognathus before it destroys his mom's garden?  Then it's time to celebrate Dan's birthday!  Join in on the party and a dino scavenger hunt with Dan and all his friends! Dan, a paleontologist-in-training, uses the scientific method to gather clues and solve mysteries.  Dino Party is filled with five action-packed adventures full of discovery!

Seventh Generation products review

I always love it when I discover new products my family would love. I've been given the chance to try 6 different products from Seventh Generation.

First is the Seventh Generation Baby Shampoo and Wash. I used this on my 2 year old daughter and I love the light citrus scent. It is made with extra virgin olive oil and is gentle, natural and hypoallergenic. My daughter like the smell too and left her hair smelling fresh and citrusy after bath.

The next product I tried is the Seventh Generation Baby lotion. Like the Baby shampoo and wash, it also has a light citrus scent. I like that it didn't leave any greasy feeling on the skin like other lotions does. It left my daughter's skin soft and lightly scented. It is also made with olive oil and is gentle and hypoallergenic.

I also got a sample of their Seventh Generation baby Natural 4x detergent. It has a light lemon-y smell and it is hypoallergenic and gluten free. I tried it on my daughter's white clothes and I like that it cleans well.

Next sample is the Seventh Generation Mandarin Nourishing Body wash. Of course I was excited to try it on me. I like the light citrus scent and I like that my skin felt soft after using it.

I also tried their Seventh Generation Lavender moisturizing lotion. I like the calming and relaxing lavender scent of the lotion. I like that this lotion is non-greasy.

Last but not the least, I got to try the Seventh Generation Mandarin Refreshing Facial Clothes. The facial cloth is super soft! I like that it cooled down my face specially with the warmer weather the past days. It made my face looking fresh and hydrated. I definitely recommend this and love the light citrus scent too.

Overall, I love the products I tested and would definitely buy more. :) You can also find more Seventh Generation products here. For more savings, you can get a 20% off code for Seventh Generation products here.

Campbell's Go Coconut Curry with Chicken and Shitake Mushrooms Review

I admit it. As a stay-at-home mom of 2 girls, there are times when I feel too lazy to prepare and cook our meals from scratch so I look for other alternative food in the market that are easy to prepare and at the same time healthy and of course should taste good.

I was given the chance to review the Campbell's Go Coconut Curry With Chickenand Shitake Mushrooms. I was sent a free product to taste. Here is the actual product sent to me.

I was glad of the flavor because I love curry dishes. I also noticed that the packaging is nice and the preparation time is really fast. You just have to cut along the line at the back (I didn't even use a scissors to cut it. It was very easy to cut using my hand) and then microwave on high for 2 to 2 1/2 minutes.

I instantly smelled the curry flavoring as soon as I opened it. It smelled very good and nice.

I microwaved it for 2 minutes and then transferred it to a bowl.

I wanted to try it with rice so I put it on a plate with white rice.

I expected it to taste like other out of the pouch food products I've tried before but to my surprise, it tasted great! I love the curry taste. It was perfect for me. I also love the vegetables in it. I didn't expect them to be so crunchy and fresh tasting.

Overall, I would definitely buy more of these flavor. There are 6 flavors available:

• Moroccan Style Chicken with Chickpeas
• Golden Lentil with Madras Curry
• Creamy Red Pepper with Smoked Gouda
• Coconut Curry with Chicken and Shitake Mushrooms
• Chicken & Quinoa with Poblano Chilies
• Spicy Chorizo and Pulled Chicken with Black Beans

Pocoyo's World Review

 

I have been given the opportunity to watch and review Pocoyo's World. My 2 and 4 year old daughters have always loved Pocoyo and I too love waching the cute little guy in blue clothes. I also like the other characters like Pato the Duck and Elli the Elephant. :) My daughters got excited when I opened the package and gave them the DVD. They watched it and I watched with them too.  I personally like The Seed episode because it taught my daughters how seeds grow to a plant. We actually made our own experiment of seeds and I showed them how to water them everyday so that they'll grow. I also like Pato's egg because my daughters learned what animal hatches from an egg. Other stories are very educational too and very simple to undertand so little kids can watch it too. :)

I always love it when my daughters find something they want to watch and pay attentively to it. I love it even more that Pocoyo teaches kids different things in a simple way. This is a great DVD even for little kids because it i so easy to understand and funny too. :)

About the DVD: Join in on the fun that is Pocoyo’s World!  You’ll laugh right along with Pocoyo and his friends on twelve fun-filled adventures! Whether it’s planting a seed, embarking on a camping trip or making friends with a little cloud, every day is an adventure in Pocoyo’s World!

Children's Mucinex Multi-Symptom Cold Review for Smiley360

When my daughters have the cold or stuffy nose, their moods change a lot as though they're different persons. Their sweetness and their sunny nature completely changes into a moody person. I feel bad for them everytime they have a stuffy nose and/or cough. They have allergies all through out the year that often leads to colds. I am very excited to have tried the Children's Mucinex Multi-cold symptom medicine for my 4 year old daughter. She liked the sweet berry taste very much unlike other cold medicine that has the bitter taste in them. I am also very surprised that it is very fast-acting. I have used store brands before because they're cheaper but now, I wouldn't hesitate to buy the Children's mucinex specially now that I've tried it and I've seen the difference.

Right now Mucinex is offering a $2 off coupon on any Children's Mucinex product

If you are unsure about using Children’s Mucinex® Multi-Symptom Cold liquid for your child, talk to your pediatrician.

Please call the toll free number 1-866-MUCINEX (1-866-682-4639) if you have any product related questions.

Garnier Fructis Triple Nutrition Miracle Review for BzzAgent

I am a BzzAgent and I was given the opportunity to be on a campaign for the Garnier Fructis Triple Nutrition. I was sent a full-sized sample for this campaign for me to try and review this product.

What I noticed when I first tried it was the smell. I love the smell. It is light scented and a little bit fruity.

I like the effect on my skin. I noticed that my skin became more moisturized and looked healthier after a few days of using it.

For my hair, it's a different issue. It made my hair look greasier even if I used just a little amount of it. I do like the effect if I wanted my hair to be straighter because it also weighed down my hair. So if I wanted to have a sleek, straight-hair look, I would use this on my hair.

Sid the Science Kid the Movie Review

Last week, I received a copy of Sid the Science Kid the Movie from NCircle Entertainment. As soon as I opened the package, my 2 year old daughter immediately held the DVD and wanted to watch it. I did play it and watched the movie with my 4 and 2 year old.

This is one of the movies we watched that they stay focused until the end of the movie.

The story is about Sid and Gabriella winning a contest to go to the newly built science museum. They met with 2 other kid scientists from China (Yangyang and Nunu) who also won the contest. They met the professor who built the museum. He showed them the solar system and introduced them to his robots. What sticked to my mind among the robots was the robot who changes dirty diapers of babies. LOL. Imagine if that was real!Then they met Bobby Bot who would tour them around the museum. They first went to the dinosaur world where Bobby Bot showed them the T-Rex and made it roar. They next went to the beehive where they saw super big bees the size of humans. They then went to a room that looks about playground and was taught about pulleys and probability. Then they went to a room that teaches about lightning. That's when the problem arises when Bobby Bot broke down and they tried to reprogram him. Bobby Bot became crazy and made the T-Rex dance, made the bees "moo" instead of buzzing and a lot more. Sid then came to the rescue by telling jokes so that they can reprogram Bobby Bot before the science museum opens to the public.

What I like about it is that it is very entertaining to my 2 and 4 year old. The movie taught about the basic solar system, dinosaurs (the T-REX) bees and the beehive, lightning, robots, pulleys, probability and Sid's jokes. :) What I like about it is that it is intended for children aged 4 and up. My 4 year old daughter understood the movie well. My 2 year old didn't understand it much but still she had fun watching it. It also taught sportsmanship because in every room, Bobby Bot asks a question and most of the time, the 2 older kid scientist (Yangyang and Nunu) answers the question correctly.

This is a great movie and would definitely be educational to children 4 and up. :)
