Aveeno Nourish+ Dandruff Control Shampoo and Conditioner Review

I've always had problems with dandruff. When I use a shampoo that's wrong for me, I would definitely get those dandruff. I have to use an anti-dandruff shampoo once in a while to control my dandruff.

The problem with the anti-dandruff shampoo I previously used, it makes my hair drier and harder to comb specially when I step out of the shower. I have to use a conditioner to make it more manageable and easier to comb but still, it feels stiffer and it tangles more easily.

I've had the chance to try Aveeno Active Natural Nourish+Dandruff control shampoo and conditioner. I'm happy because I can use it everyday and still, my hair feels softer and the scent is really great. The scent stays on my hair the whole day. What I noticed is that I had to use it a few days to see the dandruff control effect on my scalp.

Pocoyo's Circus DVD Review

When I first heard my daughters saying "Pocoyo" I was like "WHAT?!". LOL. I didn't quite get what they were saying then I learned from them that it was a cartoon show that has really cute characters.

I watched this Pocoyo's Circus DVD with them and I can see why they love Pocoyo and his friends. Pocoyo is a little kid who is very cute. He has 3 friends here and their names are Ellie (Elephant), Pato (duck) and Lulu (dog). He also doesn't talk very much but in this episode, he talked! And his voice was so cute specially when he said "naughty naughty". My daughters broke into laughter when he talked. :)

I can say that this DVD is really for younger kids because my daughters aged 2 and 5 understood the episodes well and they laughed at Pocoyo and his friends even though the only voice you can hear most of the time is the voice of the narrator.

Here is a brief description from NCircle Entertainment:
Join Pocoyo and his friends on a new fun-filled circus adventure!  One day a group of curious aliens arrive in Pocoyo's world.  Pocoyo soon realizes that these new friends are not just any aliens; in fact, they are circus aliens!  Their new friends treat Pocoyo and the gang to a free day at the circus, where Pocoyo and his friends must work together to help save the show!  Will they do it?  Find out in Pocoyo's Circus!

Herotopia Online Game for Kids Review

 My 5 year old daughter loves playing online games. As a mom, I allow her to play online games just as long as it's educational and appropriate for her age. I saw Herotopia and got curious of the name. I showed it to her and she immediately wanted to try it.

The sign-up process is very easy and she customized her own hero's costume, hair and eyes. Her hero is the one in blue clothes and green cape. She also named her own hero. I like the graphics because they're colorful and there are different levels. There is also an option for chatting with other players but since she's too young to understand it, she just played with the different mini games.

This game is called Stash the Trash. I enjoyed playing this game as much as my daughter did. You just have to catch the recyclable things the airplane man is dropping and avoid the toxic barrel he drops. There is a timer but as long as you catch the clocks the airplane man drops, you'll never run out of time. I love this game because my daughter learned about recycling. When I was playing the game she keeps on telling me on how to recycle bottles because they harm the fishes and sharks in the ocean.

This is another mini game which is called Tugboat twist. It is similar to the Blocks game I have on our tablet and the goal is to open up a path for the blue boat to got to the blue exit space on the right. Now she tried playing this and she only finished up to level 2.  This is harder and I'm the one who played it until level 13. I enjoyed the game but not intended for younger kids.

This is her favorite part. The Playground where she has her own smighties pet. Her pet's name is Huego and he is so cute. She loves feeding him and bathing him. My 2 year old loves this because of the simple buttons. She can just click the 6 different buttons here and the pet responds.

It is free to sign-up and create a character at Herotopia. You can play many different mini games in the free subscription and interact with other players too. You also have the option to choose a membership plan for $49.95 a year for more options like decorating your child's hideout and get superpowers and super vehicles.

It is very fun and I like it because it teaches my daughter about the environment in a fun and educational way.

Kroger Deli Fried Chicken Review

I have 2 daughters with very different personalities as well as eating habits. My elder daughter who just turned 5 is a very picky eater. She doesn't like many foods. My 2 year old on the other hand eats everything. She eats anything I give her and doesn't mind eating vegetables and she loves fruits. Despite their differences on food choices, they both love fried chicken. They would eat a lot whenever fried chicken is served.

As a member of BzzAgent, I was given a free coupon for an 8 pc. Kroger Deli fried chicken, a free product coupon for the Kroger chips and a free product coupon for any 1.25 L Coca-cola product. I was excited to try the chicken the most. My daughters were excited as well and couldn't wait to taste it.

I love that the chicken stayed fresh and the taste isn't too salty. It was just right for me. It was perfect with white rice. The meat of the fried chicken was juicy and soft. My daughters loved it too. They ate more than what they eat and I'm very happy with that. The chicken also stayed fresh until we got home. The size of the fried chicken was pretty big too (specially the thighs).

Pajanimals: Pajama Party! DVD Review

As a mom of 2 girls (2 and 4 year old), I always look for fun and at the same time educational children's shows. As an NSider, I was given another opportunity by NCircle Entertainment to review their Pajanimals Pajama Party! DVD.  My 2 year old personally picked this title when I showed them the available titles they can pick. So when the DVD came, she was very excited to watch it.

My daughters watched it with excitement. My 2 year old loved the 1st episode. She was excited to see all the balloons in Sweet Pea Sue's birthday party and even recognized the colors. They also danced to the Jiggle Giggle Dance and the Sing, Sing, Sing a Pajanimal Song.

For me, I love that the episodes teach lessons like sharing and not becoming jealous in a subtle way that my daughters understand.

I was also surprised to see a colorful certificate from NCircle for my participation to their NSider program. My 2 year old daughter immediately recogniszed Pocoyo, Elli and Pato. :)

I truly recommend pajama party for younger children because the characters are very fun to watch.

Here is a brief description of the DVD from NCircle:

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.
