Abigail and the Sahara Adventure Review

MarksvilleandMe reviews Abigail and the Sahara Adventure

written by

Tali Carmi

Abigail and the Sahara Adventure is the second in the Abigail series I have read and reviewed for Tali Carmi. You can read my first review for Abigail and the Jungle Adventure here. Like I said in my other review I love that the Abigail series has a girl as the main role and that she loved to go on adventures like my girls do.

In this Adventure Abigail goes to the Sahara on the magical bicycle she found at her grandparents house. The Abigail series takes your child to exotic locations so they can learn about other cultures. There is always an adventure when you read about Abigail. Wonder where she will go in the next book?

My now 7 year old, 12 year old, and my grand daughter who is 3 all loved this book. It gives them ideas about places they might want to visit when they grow up. We also usually look up information on the internet after reading one of the adventures to learn more about certain things.

With Abigail and the Sahara Adventure the girls wanted to learn more about deserts.

You can purchase Abigail and the Sahara Adventure on Amazon.

Brain Fitness PathWords Review

MarksvilleandMe reviews Brain Fitness PathWords

Think Fun

Brain Fitness PathWords is a neat game with words with a twist. Even though Think Fun says 8 years and up, my 7 year old is the one who had the most fun with it. She made up her own game by finding words like you would in a crossword puzzle but with no list and the words were made in the shaped pieces that were provided.

Now that you know how my 7 year old played with it I will explain how it says to be played.

There are tiled pieces in certain shapes and you have to match them up on the board to make words. You have to use all of the tiles and they have to fit together into a square. This is a lot like another game I reviewed called Gravity Maze you can read my review here.

Both games are very fun and not something you find in your neighborhood store. Our family likes to play games and seems to harder to find games we haven't already played. I like the new games they have available and look forward to working with Think Fun in the near future.

This is what Think Fun has to say about Brain Fitness PathWords

Brain Fitness PathWords (Ages 8 to adult, MSRP: $19.99)

Strengthen your vocabulary and visual perception skills in this amalgamation of polyominoes and word search!

You can purchase Brain Fitness PathWords here.

Body Merry Stretch Marks & Scars Defense Cream Review

MarksvilleandMe reviews Body Merry Stretch Marks & Scars Defense Cream

I know I should probably be using this on my stretch marks but they are from having my children, and I can point out which are which child's. I have however used the Body Merry Stretch Marks & Scars Defense Cream on old chicken pox scars and want to start on the scar on my face, as well as a few I have on my legs.

I have tried both serum and cream forms of scar defense and I do prefer the cream I feel I have more control over where it goes. Body Merry Stretch Marks & Scars Defense Cream is a pleasant smelling thick cream that you rub where ever you have a scar or stretch make. It does work overnight but with time you will see a difference.

I hope that it is permanent but time will tell on that one.

What Azure has to say about their product

Azure Naturals - ULTIMATE VITAMIN C Serum (1 oz size)

VITAMIN C WORKS! Our serum will increase cellular renewal by boosting the production of collagen and elastin. Vitamin C, Ferulic Acid, and Vitamin E are all powerful anti-oxidants that when combined can provide up to eight-fold antioxidant protection, 96% reduction of sunburn cells, and prevent the formation of free radicals in sun exposed skin. Our serum is intentionally designed to be thin, but not greasy or watery. This is the optimal consistency for a Vitamin C serum and allows the potent ingredients to deeply penetrate your skin to repair sun and other environmental damage, while boosting production of new collagen and elastin.

WHY AZURE NATURALS? Our ULTIMATE VITAMIN C is 100% guaranteed to be the fastest working and most effective Vitamin C Serum on the market today. Compare our ingredients to similar product from Skinceuticals, Obagi, and PerriconeMD. Not only will you find we have superior organic and natural ingredients our Vitamin C serum is $80 to $130 less expensive per bottle! More expensive does not mean it works any better! If you don't care about wasting money, you should still buy our product because it works better! You can donate $100 you save to charity!

HOW DO YOU RECEIVE OPTIMAL RESULTS? Just like exercise, it is very important to use your skin care products consistently. VITAMIN C serum can be applied twice per day in the morning and at night. If you only use the serum once do so in the morning. Vitamin C serum will help protect you against future sun damage and other environmental stressors, but it is definitely not a substitute for sun screen! Your skin’s texture should start to improve with the first application, but give your skin at least 30 days of consistent use to see the optimal results. Follow with our ULTIMATE HYALURONIC Moisturizer, ULTIMATE RETINOL, or another good moisturizer. Our Vitamin C serum is safe for all skin types and conditions including dry or irritated skin, wrinkles, fine lines, dull complexion, acne, and eczema, etc. You should not experience any dryness, but if you do you are most likely applying too much of the serum. If you have dry skin start slowly, especially around any areas that are prone to dryness. You can begin to apply more serum gradually as your skin adjusts.

BUY WITH CONFIDENCE! Made in the USA With The Highest Quality Natural and Organic Ingredients Available: 98% Natural, 72% Organic. Contains No Alcohol, No Parabens, Gluten Free, Plant Based, No GMO's, Cruelty Free and Never Tested On Animals! Key Ingredients: 20% Vitamin C + Vitamin E + 11% Hyaluronic Acid + Ferulic Acid.
