I've Been Carded

Very different for a facial soap and one that is made from all natural ingredients. It smells earthy, but once you start to put it on, at least to me it smells a bit like lemon.

This particular kind has african black coffee in it so for those who can't have caffeine head from using.

You only need a small amount if you are just using on your face. Even though this says facial soap, many use it for their hair, bodies, and face.

Helps with fine lines, dry skin, oily skin, scalp, body odors, and helps with getting rid of blemishes, and skin rashes.

You can purchase Desired Diva I've Been Carded  here or on Amazon.

Create with Chalk Markers

I love wipe off markers when they came out but I have to tell you I love the chalk markers a lot better, they clean off much easier, come in bright colors that don't look streaky,

Easy to use, clean, no more chalk dust, or scrubbing your white board clean. Great for drawing on windows, organizing, teachers, children, crafts, etc.

So fun to use. My children like to draw on the windows with them and do scenes for different times of the year. I don't have to worry about clean up because they wipe right off which leaves my children with clean slate. Another thing we like to do is have a Happy Birthday sign on a wipe off board for parties, have all of the guests sign the board, take a picture and this is a picture that shows everyone who came to celebrate the special day with us.



You can purchase these Chalk Markers on Amazon.

Be prepared

Most people know that clean water sources that are drinkable are getting harder and harder to find. So first of all we all need to take action in reducing water use, and also keeping an eye out to make sure we are giving our families healthy water to drink.

Not so easy if you are out hiking and get lost in the woods, running out of water. if you have one of these personal water straws with you then you can drink for that creek you have been following, or if need be even a puddle depending on just how long you have become.

This will keep you hydrated and aware so you can keep your head until you find your way back or someone find you. Great for the backpack, hiker, camper, hunter, survivalist, doomsday prepper. As a family we have a few stashed away just in case.

The Acquapura personal water straw comes with a bit more then what I am used to seeing, but it still works the same as all of the others. I have a video review up on another brand on our YouTube under MarksvilleandMe and will have one up on this one in the next few days, but until then check out that video so you can get the gist of what this has to offer, and how to use one.

You can purchase the Acquapura personal water straw on Amazon. My readers can get a 22% discount by using code 3WUVEDMT until September 10, 2015.

Keeps your water cool all day long

Water bottles are a big thing in our family, they are used for road trips, hiking, biking, sports, and when ever we know we will be waiting somewhere for a while, as in picking up the kids from their extracurricular activities. 

With that being said I want to make sure my families water stays cool all day long. Believe me finding a water bottle that can accomplish this is harder then you woud think. 

Futurepace Tech is one of the few bottles that we own that can live up to the claim of keeping your beverage cool. 

Think a hot car thats gets over a 100 degrees in the summer and when you get in after a day at the mall your drink is still cool and refreshing. That is my kind of bottle. 

I do wish that they had made a bigger opening so I could put ice inside as well, but the bottle still works without ice so it passes the test. I haven't put it to the test of keeping hot liquids hot but winter is coming which means hot cocoa season so it won't be long till I can give it the full test. 

You can purchase Futurepace Tech Water Bottle here.

Fun for all ages

Chalk Markers are nice to have, no more chalk dust, but they can be a bit pricey. Beary Genius says that this 10 pack is Professional Quality. Not sure what makes someone a professional chalk drawer but hey it is what it says.

All I know is that they are easy to get started just press the tip in, shake , and then push onto a piece of papers, or chalk board until you see color then you are ready to draw or write.



Fun for home, the office, or school. Think Teacher gift. Can be used on glass, chalk boards, wipe off boards and other surfaces, just test in a small area to make sure it will come off just in case. My children love to draw on their windows or the front door with these for the Holidays. Once the Holiday is over just a few swipes and they can start drawing for the next Holiday.

You can purchase Beary Genius 10 pack Chalk Markers on Amazon.
