Hasbro Toys Review

Most parents have heard of Hasbro, I know my kids have many Hasbro toys. I think our favorites are the Mr. and Mrs. Potato heads. We have 4 of them, and my kids love the fact they can have fashion shows with them. I love the fact that they are super durable, and easy for little hands to grasp. My kids are 8,4, and 2, and they all play with them for hours on end. 

we have this guy, and 

Both the Mr, and Mrs. Potato head sets.

My kids and I recently got the chance to test out some of Hasbro's new spring line of toys.

After my last review of Perfume, I wasn't in a hurry to  try these out, but I did the day I got them, really I'm like a little kid when I get something new. I received 4 scents.

Egyptian Goddess

 Egyptian Goddess, combines soft florals, light powder and musk to create a perfume that is seductive, feminine and enticing.

This is my 2nd favorite, I do wear it ofter,and love it. The smell isn't overpowering on me, but is delightful and seems to last a while. 

Love

Warm and slightly spicy, Love is a perfect winter fragrance.

This is my favorite, and I wear it almost daily. I find myself smelling my wrist over and over through out the day.This is the one I can say, I don't ever want to run out of. 

I also received:

Water Goddess

A magnolia floral bouquet with touches of rose and violet, supported by a background of exotic woods and mosses.

 and 

Chinese Rain, 

A musk and floral blend with a base of amber and creamy sandalwood.  Topped off with fresh green nuances and soft florals.

these ones smell great, but aren't my favorites at all. I think these will smell really nice on my sister though and they might just wind up for her.

Head on over and check out Auric Blends for yourself.

Original Sprout Review

Inga Tritt founded The Original Little Sprout^® in 2003 and Original Sprout in 2007. The name Little Sprout was inspired by the birth of her daughter Maya. Inga was born in Germany and grew up in Montecito, California. Her love of nature, art and architecture led to a successful career as a master stylist. Wanting to be a full time mom led her to selling her salons & spas and moving to the country, where she now lives with her family.

Our founder delighted in her newborn daughter's thick hair. Wanting to use the safest bath products led to her trying natural baby shampoos. To her surprise, all the shampoos wreaked havoc her daughter's hair and sensitive skin. To remedy the problem Inga created the first of it's kind, ultra moisturizing natural baby bath & styling products. The benefits of being a master stylist with professional experience & a mother with real life experience culminated into Original Sprout, a globally trusted natural family brand.

I had the chance to review 3 wonderful products from the Original Sprout line.

I love the lite, very pleasant  smell that these products carry. The Baby cream really does soften,my daughters skin, is so soft after we use it. 

The shampoo does clean, but I can't say it cleans any better them other kids shampoos, but I love the detangler. my daughter has really weird, hair. It's hard to manage, and super frizzy, but this detangler really tames her wild, wavy hair. Check out Original Sprout for yourself.

Buddy Fruits Review, and Giveaway US Only Ends 6/21

A family project, a common dream... We love life , we love fruits and we love the USA!!! 
Let me tell you the true story of my little french family.

During the summer of 2006, my wife and I rented a big camper to travel along the mythical Route 66 with our little child "Timéo". This was the accomplishment of a dream we always had and the journey proved to be fabulous and rich of new experiences. It was also the occasion for us to meet great people, discovers habits and traditions and spot all those little differences that make the American culture so unique.

And obviously, being a full time Chef and restaurant owner in France, I was also particularly curious and interested by the food and eating habits people have in the USA. Among the differences I observed I was quite surprised by the difficulty to find fruits and fruit pouches...

You have to know that in France, beside the cooking tradition and the wide variety of meals we prepare, we are used to eating loads of fruits and vegetables. Our kids do too. One of the best ways to eat fruits, especially when you are travelling, is through fruit pouches, a best-selling concept in France with a high demand from kids and parents.

Well, during this trip, despite looking actively for such pouches for "Timéo" (he's such a big fan!), we reached the conclusion that they didn't exist in America... And for this reason, we started thinking of the idea of bringing this fabulous concept into the USA.

We returned to France and decided to plan another trip to the USA with samples of pouches in our bags, and with the goal of introducing this concept to our American friends. The trip finally took place during the summer of 2007. We organized an informal garden party with friends we have in Miami, friends of our friends, family, relatives. The objective was to get their feed-back on our revolutionary idea. We wanted to know whether this idea was worth leaving France, our jobs and comfort to start a new adventure in America. Was it worth leaving it all behind to launch and promote this new way of eating fruits?.

At the end of the garden party, the general feeling was very positive and everyone seemed convinced by the 'squeezable fruit pouch' concept. All of the testers backed-up the idea and it was a collective "YES". One of them even said : "Ouh...làlà! c'est bon!!!" … quote we loved and decided to keep to name our company: "Ouh...làlà! c'est bon!!! LLC".

And then, everything went quite quickly : I gave up my restaurant and my wife quit her job as a banker. We packed-up our things, jumped in an airplane and here we are !

Yes, here we are because we believe that healthy food is essential for a good and balanced life. We have found the best fruit producers and mixed traditional and innovative recipes, to create our pure blended fruit pouches based on my experience as a chef. You can be sure that our wholesome pouches will always deliver 100% natural and delicious fruits. It's our promise. It's our commitment.

Buddy fruits, are the answer to my biggest problem, when ever we are out the door my kids always decide they are hungry. It's really  hard to find a healthy, and not so messy snack, to take on the go... Until now!!!!!!!!! I love the fact that you can even reseal them.

Buddy fruits come in convenient pouches, and are great tasting to. They come in 5 great flavors,Multifruit , Strawberry, Apple Cinnamon , Banana,and Mango Passion & Banana .

they also offer Buddy Bites in Apple, Raspberry,Orange, and Pomegranate and Acai.

Win It:

Buddy Fruits as offer to give one reader their own case of Buddy fruits, and Buddy Bites.
