MarksvilleandMe reviews Limm iPhone Armband

The Limm iPhone Armband is true to it's size dimensions and has very little give. This did not fit me at all, but fit my 11 year old quite well. I am sure my older daughter could use it but she already has one for her iPhone. My 11 year old is happy to finally have one all her own. Now she says she can run without worrying about dropping her iPod. 

The downside is that you do have to remove your case from your equipment before using so if you are like us and have the really protective cases this isn't always easy to do. The perfect running arm bad would take that all into account to bring us the best product ever. 

Until then we deal with what is out there and for those who are on the thinner side, the Limm iPhone Armband is a great choice. 

You can purchase Limm iPhone Armband on Amazon.

Mom's Journey: Practical Tips for Raising Kids Review + Giveaway

Product Description

All parents know the drill; lay on the baby talk thick and make sure children stay young for as long as possible. One look at Limor Friedman’s three successful daughters would have anyone believing that her and Mr. Friedman stuck by the same parenting ‘rule book’ to the letter when, in reality, they threw it out of the window as soon each child was born. Having proudly paved their own way of parenting, Friedman is urging others to do the same in her powerful new book. 

‘Mom’s Journey’ offers hundreds of tips on raising kids the stress-free way while maintaining a career and balancing life’s other ever-changing demands. Friedman’s model involves no shouting, no unnecessary stress, a lot of love and the key ingredient – no conforming to the belief that the ‘common way’ is necessarily the right way. 

“We found raising our three daughters to be very easy – and not many parents can say that!” admits Friedman. “We made a pact that we’d pave our own way and not conform to the ‘common way’ just because we assumed it worked. In fact, we discovered that many of our own strategies were more successful and simpler. For example, we skipped the baby talk and always spoke to our baby daughters as if they understood each word. The doctor was amazed at how quickly their communications skills developed; with our daughters forming their first words aged just seven months!” says Friedman. 

Continuing, “Most books on parenting are written by psychologists, but mine was written from the heart and experience. Our over-riding message is one of really shaping parenting into something you can own and, in the process, not wasting time or making mistakes in the pursuit of the norm. You’d be amazed how enjoyable and simple raising kids can be!” 

The book’s content was drawn from eighteen years of experience, and typed on an iPhone in a diner as Friedman’s youngest daughter attended gym class. 

“This is probably the only full-length book to have been written on a mobile device. All I had to do was recall memories and strategy; before I knew it I had a book. It’s chock-full of tips that parents can deploy no matter how young or old their children are. Ultimately, we nudged our daughters in the right direction and they figured out their own path in life. By reading my book, your kids can do the same,” she adds. 

MarksvilleandMe reviews Mom's Journey: Practical Tips for 

Raising Kids

written by

Limor Friedman

Mom's Journey: Practical Tips for Raising Kids read easy but she has only been a parent for 15 years I would like to revisit how well she thinks she has raised her children when they reach about 23. 

The ideas and suggestions are good but are just what most good parents do. This would be great for new moms starting out, or even if it is an older mom starting over again with another batch of children. It happens. Many of my friends thought they were done having children and have found themselves beginning the journey all over again. 

Always remember no one is perfect we all make mistakes, take one moment at a time. Life is too short not to take time for your family. Love them always and keep them close to your heart no matter how far they wander. A strong loving parent is a great start which can lead to  a hardworking, independent grownup. Happy Parenting!

MarksvilleandMe reviews Hydracentials Slim And Sporty 

16 oz Vacuum Insulated Stainless Steel Water Bottle

What can I say that I didn't already say in my review for the 25 oz size? You can find my review for the 25 oz size here. I love the Hydracentials Slim And Sporty 16 oz Vacuum Insulated Stainless Steel Water Bottle as much as my 25 oz bottle. It cleans well, had a wide mouth to put ice cubes in, doesn't sweat, has a straw, and the water stays cool for hours and hours. 

This size is a bit better for smaller children and is perfect for their sports games or after school activities. On the weekend is great for a hike, picnic, or road trip. As a mother I love that I can filter my own tap water and know that it is healthy, clean, and fresh for my children. I don't have to worry about where the water is really from and I don't have to worry about returning bottles, which saves me gas, as well as being economic for the whole world. 

As I have said before, if they come out with a hot liquid bottle something like this my whole family would be happy.

Insta Natural Vitamin C Facial Toner Review

Product Description

About The Product

Our Vitamin C Facial Toner is the perfect way to tone and hydrate your skin while still delivering the powerful benefits of Vitamin C and other anti-aging elements. First, the sulfur in each spray will drive deep down to penetrate your skin and increase elasticity to maximize results. At the same time, the Witch Hazel present in the toner will gently purify your skin and pores, even helping to reduce their size and appearance. Simultaneously, Vitamin C renews and strengthens the skin to reverse the signs of aging and help prevent future damage. The Vitamin C Facial Toner is a great all-in-one hydrator that preps your skin to absorb serums and moisturizers more efficiently and effectively and is the perfect staple to add to your beauty regimen. 

MarksvilleandMe reviews Insta Natural Vitamin C Facial 

Toner 

My regular readers know that I have been doing many reviews for different beauty items and one of my favorite companies to work with is Insta Natural. There products great and are helping me take back my skin care routine. 

Up this time is the Insta Natural Vitamin C Facial Toner. Most toners come in a bottle that you have to tip over and dispense on a cotton ball, but Insta Natural Vitamin C Facial Toner come in a pump spray bottle. No more liquid spills for me. 

First you wash your face, then spray your face with toner, then wipe with a cotton cloth or cotton ball, followed by the serum or moisturizer of your choice. Finish with make up or go all natural, it is all up to you. 

This does have sulfur in it so if you have an allergy to sulfur or sulfides please do not use. I had to warn my 11 year old not to touch this bottle because she is allergic to some of the ingredients in it. 

You can purchase Insta Natural Vitamin C Facial Toner on Amazon.
