I received samples from LuMee for the sole purpose of this review
Being a blogger/influencer means I take a lot of pictures, and sometimes big cameras just aren't practical anymore (in fact, I haven't used a regular camera in 2-3 years and haven't even owned one for a year now). So phones are where it's at. They are small, you likely have them with you wherever you go and these days they take EXCELLENT pictures, so are perfect for those quick moments.
But sometimes the lighting is terrible and produces bad quality photos/selfies. That's where LuMee comes in with their lit up phone cases. They offer DUO and SELFIE cases, DUO has lights on the front and back of the case and SELFIE just has lights on the front.
I received samples from Pink Lemonade Shop for the sole purpose of this review
I have been using Pink Lemonade Shop cloth pads for 5-6 years now! I started out with pads from a few different shops and very quickly ended up with just my Pink Lemonade pads. They have been my favorite by a long shot and have been exclusive PLS for 4-5 years. I use a Diva Cup so I really only need a few pads as backups, yet I have over 80 in my stash. I love them so much and Sue just keeps releasing awesome prints that I have to have!
When she asked me to do another review for her, I jumped on the chance! I will forever love fluff mail and would love to share about her wonderful company, yet again!
I received 3, 8" pads and 2, 9" pads. These are mostly all I use since I use them as backup or on super light days.
I received Purple dyed Bamboo Jersey, Scales Minky, Buffalo Plaid Minky and 2 dyed Organic Bamboo Velour pads
I received samples from Cuddle + Kind for the sole purpose of this review
I've heard about Cuddle + Kind in the past, I've always admired their super cute, hand knit dolls made in Peru. Every single detail you see on their dolls has been hand knit, hand loomed, hand embroidered and crocheted by artisans using knitting expertise that has been passed down for generations. They create heirloom quality items and their hope is that their dolls can be passed down for generations as well.
Based on the best-selling book series by R.L. Stine and starring Wendi McLendon-Covey, Chris Parnell and Ken Jeong

Whether you have one or several children at home, keeping them
busy on a regular basis can be a task at times.
That said you want your children to be entertained and as happy as
possible.
So, how do you go about keeping them busy when home?
Games and More Await Your Child
Among some of the better activities to keep your children busy
when home:
1. Games – If your child has not had a gaming experience up to
now, you may well want to change this. Games such as Xbox and others are quite
popular with both kids and adults. With that in mind, wouldn’t the holidays or
a birthday be the perfect time to get your child an Xbox? If you are thinking
along these lines, make sure to put some research into what you will get for
your child. One of the key accessories to such gaming is of course the headset.
Take your time to find the best headset for Xbox One. In doing so, you want a headset that is comfortable. You also
seek one that prevents outside noises from interrupting the game-playing fun.
You can opt for the Stealth 300 Headset, Recon 200 Headset, Elite 800X Headset
or many others. The bottom line is playing games can be a great activity for
your child. Heck, you can even get in on the fun with them too.
2. Friends – Allowing your child to have his or her friends over
on a regular basis is also a good thing. Your child can bond with their friends
in spending more time with them at your home and elsewhere. Over time, this
bonding can lead to great friendships for years to come. Since it is your home,
be sure to put some rules in place for when your child is entertaining one or
more friends. You might also consider inviting some of the parents over at
times. This can make for one big house party that all can enjoy. When you put some entertainment in your life and that of your child’s, everyone wins.
3. Family – Time with the family may seem in short supply these
days. With many parents working, kids in school and doing activities once class
lets out, time as a unit can be hard to come by. With that in mind, do your
best to make sure your child has quality time with the family. Not only does
this mean his or her parents, but also any siblings at home. If there are
grandparents nearby, be sure to have them over for visits as often as possible.
4. Chores – Last, what child enjoys doing chores at home? That
said such tasks are good for teaching your son or daughter responsibility as
they grow up. This allows them to be better prepared for when they go off to
college or even the military after high school. Having a responsible child
willing to help out is good for them. It also of course takes some of the
pressure off of you to get everything done.
In keeping your children busy at home, do your best to see to it
boredom is never a major issue.
