2in1 Towel/Drawstring backpack




My oldest daughter used to have a bag/towel something like this and it lasted for years. I was so happy to find another one and be able to try it out and tell my readers about it. This is great for my girls who pretty much swim every day of the summer, weather permitting. They take their towel, swim suits, sunglasses, sunblock, and water and they are off for the day until they come home for lunch and dinner.

This backpack turns into a towel and while in backpack form can hold all you need for a day at the beach, pool, or waterpark. What I love about this is that this towel is much softer than the original backpack/towel she had.

You can find this Towel/backpack on Amazon.

What Tandem Active has to say about their product.

 -2 IN 1 MULTI-PURPOSE MICROFIBER TOWEL/DRAWSTRING BACKPACK - This versatile product can be used as a towel as well as a backpack!

This is perfect if you are a minimalist or if you don't want to carry a big backpack. There is room for flip flops, shoes, a water bottle, sunscreen

-ULTRA-ABSORBENT AND DRIES FAST - Our towel is made of 100% microfiber. Why did we use microfiber? Microfiber dries a lot quicker than the average cotton towel, making it the perfect towel for the active lifestyle.

Fighting a Vitamin D Deficiency



I have a severe Vitamin D deficiency so I take 12,000 IU for 5 days a week and 2,000 IU on the other two days of the week. Remember to always check with your Dr. before taking any medications.

Most people in the Northern parts of the USA need a little extra Vitamin D in their diet, either from physical problems, not getting enough Vitamin D in your diet, or even just not being in the sun enough.

These are softgels which are in organic olive oil which explains their yellowish clear color. I do suggest if you take Vitamin E that you make sure you know the difference as these look very familiar to their shape, color, and size.

These Vitamins are made in the USA.



You can find the Vitamin D3 5000 240 softgels in organic olive oil on Amazon.
HIGH POTENCY VITAMIN D3 5000 IU: High strength Vitamin D so you need just one tiny softgel a day to achieve this high dose
BIOAVAILABLE ACTIVE FORM D3: The same active biological form of Vitamin D that’s produced by the body from sunlight
HIGHLY ABSORBABLE: Research suggests the oil-based softgel may deliver better absorption than a powder capsule*
PURITY, QUALITY, EFFICACY: We use only organic oil; no soy, stearates, fillers, artificial colors or preservatives
100% NATURAL, MADE IN THE USA in a FDA-Registered Facility to strict GMP standards with organic extra virgin olive oil

Keep your skin moist and healthy



The Moisturizer from Skin Daily is a light cream in a really nice pump bottle. You want to use a dime size amount on your face twice a day. This bottle is small enough to fit in your purse or overnight bag so portability it is made to do.

This Moisturizer has Hyaluronic Acid and Amino Acid complex, is made in the USA and is animal cruelty free.

You can find this moisturizer on Amazon.


What Skin Daily has to say about their product.
  • ANTI AGING FACIAL MOISTURIZER - Premium formula contains a powerful yet delicate blend of amino acids, hyaluronic acid, panthenol, MSM, rosehip oil, and multiple botanical antioxidants such as palm oil. Ingredients designed to repair, hydrate, and fortify skin cells for immediate moisture retention, and long term skin health. Skin Daily Active Hydration Moisturizer is the perfect "last step" in your daily anti-aging regime.
  • MOISTURIZER WITH HYALURONIC ACID - Hyaluronic acid holds 1000 times its weight in water. Talk about skin hydration! No premium moisturizer would be complete without this "wonder ingredient".
  • AMINO ACIDS are essential to long term beautiful and more youthful looking (and feeling) skin. Amino acids are quite literally the building blocks that make up all protein, most importantly collagen. The amino acids found in Skin Daily Active Hydration Moisturizer are specifically formulated to give your skin the optimum amino acids needed to hydrate, repair, and regenerate your skin for remarkably younger looking skin.
  • THE SKIN DAILY DIFFERENCE is built on unusually high level of customer care and satisfaction. Putting a smile on your face is our #1 goal. Having great products and backing them up with unparalleled customer service is what makes our goal easy!
  • UNSCENTED FOR A REASON - Active Hydration Moisturizer is unscented for a very good reason. Artificial and even natural fragrances in your skincare products could be doing more harm than good. Sound research has shown the fragrance to be among the leading cause in skincare products for sensitizing and allergic reactions among users. The issues don't stop on the skins surface either. The reality is the chemicals in fragrances could be breaking down collagen under the skin with no immediate sign on the skins surface. The best performing skincare are almost always unscented for this very reason.

Metallic Temporary Tattoos





My daughter's love tattoos, my oldest two each have a real one while my two youngest are still dreaming about what they want to get. Temporary Tattoos are a fun way to let you children or teen try out different kinds of tattoos to see what they would like to get when they get older.

Mind you personally I don't have a Tattoo, if I ever got one I know what I want but because of other healthy problems with bleeding I am steered away from getting one. I do however like to wear a temporary tattoo from time to time when my girls are trying them on.

These are easy to put on with a wet piece of fabric and a little bit of pressure. Just cut out the design you would like to wear peal off the clear plastic and then place where you want it. Then press the wet cloth on top or around the tattoo for the amount of time suggested then slowly peel off paper backing, to leave a beautiful metallic tattoo.
