Protect That Noggin

As a mom when my children go out to play I like them to be safe as well as prepared for what lies ahead. With skating there will be falls, scrapes, and maybe even breaks. So far the latter has not happened. Being prepared for these things means as a mom you outfit your child with Helmet, and Pads. It was really a no brainier for me. I can't promise she will always wear them. Kids are kids, but I can have them available to her, while encouraging her to use them each time she goes out. 

I was able to find a really nice set from Jifar while looking for skates for my daughter. The set comes in several colors black, blue, and pink. Everything came in a really nice bag for storage which is nice when you are trying to keep things organized when not in use and easy to find when you need it.

We chose the set in pink as it was closest to my daughters favorite color purple. The helmet has a matte finish so you can paint, decorate, or leave plain. You get the helmet, knee, elbow, and wrist pads plus the bag. The pads fit my daughter but just barely where the helmet has plenty of room for growth. The helmet is easy to adjust which is just what I like. Some helmets are so hard to fit to your child's head.

I love that once we adjusted the helmet and showed my daughter how to use the pads she was able to get ready to use her skates without help. As a reminder please make sure you check your child's helmet often for fit as well as wear and tear.

The Jifar Helmet and pad set can be found below.

Biking Safety

I've tried a lot of bike lights but this one from Gear Extremist is pretty great. Its LEDs have 2 colors, white for a headlight and red for a tail light, and installation is easy for both my bike and helmet. https://amzn.to/2LMQsoy

Put your feet up and relax

With having children you go to lots of outside events including sporting events in which in most cases you need to have a folding chair or take up root on the ground. I don't like the ground option from bugs, to being cold, and worse the bugs. With a folding chair like this you can take it one step further and put of your feet. I think this is awesome. Sadly this has a weight limit of 200lbs so only my younger girls can use this. 

We like how easy it is to set up. It has a comfy headrest that can be added if you need it, cup holders, and a nice side bag for things like a book, your cellphone, camera ect. The bag is a really nice extra that I have not seen on many chairs. When you are done just fold and place inside with the included bag to store or transport it.

Cool relief fast

Ok so I don't workout all that much but when I do I really work up a sweat, and cooling down is a big way to keep feeling refreshed so you can workout longer. Having a cooling towel like this one from Furious Fitness is great to have on hand. You can use it for sports, exercise, work, or even on hot days when there is no air conditioner or fan in site. Also great for sunburns.

Just submerge in water, or even run under the tap, snap a few times and apply to area that needs to be cooled. This towel can be worn around neck, head, back, or even just used to wipe your face during and after exertion. 

Another great idea for this is for those who are going through menopause. I hear many older women who are going through it get hot flashes, well having this towel nearby might just cool them down during these very trying and uncomfortable times. 

I love to use this on hot nights when the power goes out to keep my family cool until the power is restored. I also like the included bag with clip so you can have it ready to use in a flash.

LLOP 5 in 1 Mirrored Swimming Goggles

* Some of the links in the article may be “affiliate links.” This means if you click on the link and purchase the item, I will receive compensation.

Getting ready for summer for us means new goggles and other swim gear to keep us going all summer long. This set from LLOP is great because you get a great set that will keep you going pretty much all summer. I love the waterproof pouch for keeping electronics safe. My daughter loves the goggles, my husband the ear plugs. The cap is great for keeping your colored or natural hair healthy. Chlorine can really take a toll on hair.

The goggles are adjustable for head size as well as nose size so you can get the fit that is right for your personal needs. Swimming and having fun is great when you have the products to keep you doing it longer.

Package Include:

1 Pc Swimming Goggles

Cold Refreshing Drinks

* Some of the links in the article may be “affiliate links.” This means if you click on the link and purchase the item, I will receive compensation.  

One thing I like to have on hand is a good water bottle. One that keeps my cold drinks cold all day long, and hot drinks hot for long periods of time. This 17oz water bottle from SunCraft is one of the choices out there. It is well made and will perform as stated, keeping cold drinks cool for 24-36 hours and hot drinks hot from 12-24 hours. 

When you are on the run with children in tow it is always a good idea to bring drinks along with you during the hot summer months. Stopping to buy drinks can be expensive and it ads up quickly. Bringing your own water or other cool drinks can save you both time and money. This water bottle is also available in the 25oz size and come in your choice of  black, mint, and ocean which I have pictured above. 

With this you can also reuse so no more bottles to recycle or send to the landfills saving everyone.

Keeping it COOL

Summer is coming and this a go to item for our family. We use these all year round for different activities but during the summer we find these especially useful for when the electric goes out on the hottest day and you can't sleep.

Just soak these with water, twist, snap, and place on your body to cool. Best places are back of neck, wrists, and back of knees. These are also great cooling down those who have fever or sun stroke. Also great for laying on sunburns.





Soft on skin, has 98% UV blocking rate 50+ UV protection index.

Most of the time these are used while exercising, yoga, pilates, bike riding, and walking in our family. I love that even if it is just sweat if you twist and snap it will still feel cool. A plus for those who may work outside in the heat all day long.

I love that they are two toned, but do wish they came in more feminine colors like pink and purple. My girls would be in love for sure.

Anti-Slip Yoga Pilates socks

* Some of the links in the article may be “affiliate links.” This means if you click on the link and purchase the item, I will receive compensation.  

This is something I have needed. Until now I just had one pair so often the one pair were in the wash and I had to make due without a pair while doing yoga. These are great and keep me from slipping during exercise. I feel stable while doing poses. 

There are 4 colors with anti-slip bottoms. They are comfortable and stay put while providing just the right amount of support. These come up to your ankle area and are not no show socks. These are also great for using when you go to places that have jumpy house, or in our case trampoline parks. They give that extra security of not slipping. 

The #Aulexy anti-slip socks can be found at my affiliate link below. Note it says 5 pairs for some reason but you only get 4 pair. Not sure why it is stated like that. 

What Aulexy has to say about their product.

- PERFECT FOR YOGA, PILATES, BARRE, INDOOR AND OUTDOOR PRACTICE. PVC grip dots cover the entire foot for a safe and secure step during any workout. Heel tab design prevents sock from sliding down the heel when worn with shoes. Tired of slipping when practicing yoga? It is the Secret of Never Worrying about Losing Grip!

- SUPREME QUALITY WITH COMFORT AND BREATHABLE. These nonskid socks are soft, breathable and extremely durable. No more holes, shrinking or shedding! Natural cotton absorbs sweat, gives you ultimate comfort with less bulk and offers you barefoot feeling.

- FAIRLY ELASTIC AND GRIP LIKE A PRO. Engineered anti-slip grips on the heel and arch offer superior balance, comfort and stability, which helps you hold your poses with ease during yoga practice. Elastic material comfortably stretches over your foot for a snug and secure fit that won't twist or slide with use.

- PREVENT INFECTION: Bare feet combined with shared mats make you vulnerable to fungal infections. Regular socks are less breathable and less absorbent, which leads to infection. Investing in our socks now to avoid pain down the road.

- ALL PURPOSES IN ONE. Ideal for not only yoga, but also pilates, barre, bikram and ballet dance. Perfect for home, travel, studio and hospital use too. Specifically designed for Yoga and Pilates, it offers superb grip and traction on almost any surface, which results in better balance, stability and control during workout sessions.

WHAT IS IN THE PACKAGE: Socks (Black, White, Grey, Pink)

Chair Dancing Fitness Latin, Soul, and Rock 'n Roll

* Some of the links in the article may be “affiliate links.” This means if you click on the link and purchase the item, I will receive compensation.  

I have done yoga, walking, and swimming pretty much my whole life but with health issues I have found that standing is not always a safe position to be in while exercising. So I am more then excited to tell you about a line of videos that are tailored to exercising while you are in a seated position. Yes you can still do them standing as well and on good days I do them standing but alas most days I am sitting. 

These are great for people who have Fibromyalgia like myself, are disabled, or even elderly. I do suggest speaking with your Dr. before you start any exercise just to be sure. You can never be too careful. 

I have two different dvd's so far the Chair Dancing Fitness Latin, Soul, and Rock 'n Roll, and the 

Chair Dancing Fitness Express Toning, I am looking forward to getting Simply Stretch and Chair Yoga as well in the near future.

#Aposon Leather Women's Watch

The pink numbers with the hearts and rhinestones really make this watch pop. It comes packaged for gift giving with frustration free packaging. Great for gift giving. 

The wristband of the watch is thick and padded unlike other leather watch bands I have had in the past which makes it comfortable to wear.

Tourniquet trauma kit by Lia Medical

Our family has a bleeding disorder and when I found out that most ambulances do not carry tourniquets anymore that scared me. I asked them what I should do and they said to make sure we have one in our home in our first aid kit, in the car, and to make sure it can be found easily in case of emergency.

This is also great to have on hand if you are a hiker, or mountain climber. I suggest anyone who has a bleeding disorder have one of these on hand just in case.

Like my mother said better to be safe then sorry. This kit also comes with a trauma bandage and a full size emergency blanket.

Molkky

Our family loves to play games but our outside games are on the skimpy side so we jump at the chance to add more games there when we can. Our last new game was bocce from my sister and this time we were able to try out Molkky thanks to Tactic toys.

This is an easy game to play once you get used to is. when your first start out you will set it up as shown on box. The striker is thrown underhand to knock over pins. You only count the pins that have fully fallen over. o leaning on striker or other pins. You count what has fallen over then stand up the pin where it fell over for the next person's turn. You continue this way till someone reaches 50 points on the dot. As in if you have 48 points and get another 4 points you are over 50 and go back to 25 points.
th
For our children I play who ever gets closest to 50 first wins to keep it simple for them. This is a great game to be played alone for practice or with 2 or more. Great for family get togethers, gift giving, picnics, vacation, etc.

Molkky can be found on Amazon.


What Tactic has to say about their product.

Easy to play, just arrange the pins, number 1 through 12, in a formation and throw the Molkky skittle pin to try to knock down some pins. To win the game, players try to knock down a total of 50 points worth of pins. More competitive rounds can be played by trying to score exactly 50 points. If players go over 50, then they go back to 25 points and try again to reach 50 exactly. The first player or team to 50 exactly wins. Mölkky is an updated version of an old Scandinavian "throwing game" called Kyykkä that has been around for hundreds of years. Without age or fitness restrictions, and suitable to most outdoor spaces, Molkky is an easy, go-to game on any day. All over the world, Mölkky is enjoyed for its casual, easy game play, as well as in serious, top tournaments and championship competitions. Some of the most decorated and celebrated Mölkky competitions have been held since 1997 in Finland. An annual Australian Mölkky Championship has been held since 2010 and several Mölkky association have been founded, including Finnish International Mölkky Association, Slovak Mölkky Association, French Mölkky Association, Japan Mölkky Association, Czech Molkky Association, and Sweden Molkky Association. The history of Mölkky is available on Wikipedia.
