MarksvilleandMe reviews Animal Trackers Club

My youngest daughter and grand daughter really enjoyed this, and my husband said he would have loved to have something like this when he was little. Then we got on the conversation about the different things we did get in the mail. Mail for me is and has always been a bit exciting. Now of course I blog so my mailbox is almost always full with something to review. 

Getting the Animal Trackers Club box was no different. The first thing I noticed was how the box comes looking like a crate you might get delivered while on Safari. The first thing you see when you open the box is a metal lunch box of course it is not small like I had expected but a full size lunch box like from when I was little you know the 70's-80's.


I was very surprised when I opened up the Animal Tracker Tote and found that it was filled will all sorts of neat items. A pencil, an official animal tracker club card, little foam animals, animal cards, several backgrounds that you can play with the animal magnets one of which was included in this kit. There is also a key ring sort of thing that you can add your new animal to each month to have a kind of flip book of all of the animals you have learned about. 


The second thing I noticed was a Zebra Sticker so I guessed this shipment must have a Zebra theme. Now lets see what was inside this big padded envelope.


Minus my shoe you can see that indeed this shipment is about Zebra's. My family loves to learn about new animals, and even though we know quite a bit about Zebras we did learn a few more things we didn't know. There are learning pages, craft, animal magnet, animal figure, picture, mask, and information about Zebras included. All we needed to add was glue, crayons, colored pencils and or markers.

I can think of many things to buy for a child as a gift but a years subscription to this is a year of learning fun. Either for a child on their own or with the help of a family member it will be a time of bonding and special time they will look forward to each month.

MarksvilleandMe reviews Foxbrim's Advanced Formula

 Vitamin C Serum


The Foxbrim's Advanced Formula Vitamin C Serum comes in a dropper bottle and is used on a clean,  dry, toned if you use toner, face. A few drops is all you need for your whole face, neck, and chest area. Once the Foxbrim's Advanced Formula Vitamin C Serum has dried I then put on my Foxbrim Vitamin C Lotion, or what ever moisturizer you use. If you wear make up you would then put that on. 

I have found that the Foxbrim line is one of a few that don't irritate my skin and leave my skin feeling soft and supple hours after use. Most facial products do this for a short time but I find that within a few hours my skin is back to feeling dry and not so soft. 

You can purchase Foxbrim's Advanced Formula Vitamin C Serum on Amazon.

MarksvilleandMe reviews The dream ten: Where's Tony?

written by
A.D. Erving


This is book two in the series The Dream Ten. I am very glad I was able to do book two for my readers since I already did book one. You can find and read my review of David's Miracle link below. Having two daughters who currently play basketball along with two other children who have played in the past this book fits well with our family.

My soon to be 7 year old as of next Wednesday informed me that she likes Basketball better then Soccer. I was floored but it is her choice so Basketball it is. This will be the last year my now 11 year old will be playing for the Youth division before moving onto the School Team next year.

Back to the book.  Where's Tony? starts out 6 months after the first book, with Tony being picked to play for the Panthers but after he doesn't show up for practice and then misses a practice for the The Dream Ten, the other players know something is wrong and spring into action to see what has happened to their friend and team mate Tony.

This book takes you on a search through the city of New York to find the answer to where Tony went. Imagination runs away with the kids as they search for the truth. My children enjoyed the sitting at the edge of their seats while I read this to them. They were just as excited to find out what happened to Tony as the rest of team was in the book. I can't tell you how it ends, that you will have to read for yourself.

You can buy The Dream Ten: Where's Tony? on Amazon.

MarksvilleandMe reviews Foxbrim Vitamin C Lotion

The Foxbrim Vitamin C Lotion comes in a small pump bottle. Small enough to fit into your purse for on the go moisture. It has Aloe Vera and Jojoba Oil in it to hydrated your skin. I couldn't really pick up a scent but I wouldn't say it was unscented just a light enough scent that I couldn't make out what it was.

You use a dime size amount for your face but it can also be used for an all over body moisturizer, This was a light white lotion that went on effortlessly and evenly. It made my face feel like I had just gotten out of the shower, nice, soft, and full of moisture. 

Foxbrim has you covered when it comes to facial skin care and remember it is made in the U.S.A and is not tested on animals.

MarksvilleandMe reviews UNi 100% Rosehip Seed Oil

This is the just the right item for me as I have uneven skin tone and it is really gentle so I don't deal with any harsh chemicals on my face.  This comes in a dropper bottle. For my face I use about four drops rub into my hands and then onto my face. 

I like that it corrects UV damage because I don't always remember to put sunblock on when I go outside. We are still using this on my husband's scar on his leg hoping to see a difference. He tends to have Keloid scars which is the growth of extra scar tissue on top of a scar from a healed injury. Most people who scar like me you can hardly tell they had an injury but his is wide, long, large, and raised. 

It may take a while but the Dr.'s said to use massage on the scar tissue to help flatten it out, the oil helps my husband do it longer. 

You can purchase UNi 100% Rosehip Seed Oil on Amazon.
