Keeping it COOL



Summer is coming and this a go to item for our family. We use these all year round for different activities but during the summer we find these especially useful for when the electric goes out on the hottest day and you can't sleep.

Just soak these with water, twist, snap, and place on your body to cool. Best places are back of neck, wrists, and back of knees. These are also great cooling down those who have fever or sun stroke. Also great for laying on sunburns.





Soft on skin, has 98% UV blocking rate 50+ UV protection index.

Most of the time these are used while exercising, yoga, pilates, bike riding, and walking in our family. I love that even if it is just sweat if you twist and snap it will still feel cool. A plus for those who may work outside in the heat all day long.

I love that they are two toned, but do wish they came in more feminine colors like pink and purple. My girls would be in love for sure.

40 Watt Hot Glue Gun

Being that our family loves to do arts & crafts, a glue gun is a must. We have small glue guns that do low and high temperatures and now we have a large glue gun that does high temperatures too. Much more friendly to the adult hand then our smaller glue guns which are great for smaller hands.

Glue guns are great for all kinds of crafts and even handy for fixing things around the home. This glue gun comes with extra glue sticks whicn means you don't have to run out right away to get more. The glue gun also has a nice kickstand so you can place it down when you are in between pieces or when you are letting it heat up or cool down. 

Remember to supervise children closely with items like this, they can really burn you badly.

The CDL Brands glue gun can be found on the affiliate link below.

#Aulexy

My nail clippers, tweezers, and files always go missing. I am hoping that with this shiny case they might stay as a set although my daughter did give it the eye when I unboxed it. I told her hands off this is mommy's. 

I think this is a pretty case filled with most of what you will need to get through life's broken nails. Having everything in one case also keeps them ready at a moments notice and will look great in your purse, your bedside table, or even your vanity.

  • WHAT IS IN THE PACKAGE: 1 x Tweezers 1 x Cuticle Clipper 1 x Eyebrow scissor 3 x Nail Clippers (small one, big one, bevel one) 1 x Nail file 1 x Ear pick 1 x V shape Cuticle pusher 1 x U shape Cuticle pusher 1 x Pealing knife 1 x Pealing fork

3D Pen Filament

Our family is rather new to using 3D pens so I thought I should stock up on filament because I am not sure how much of a learning curve there is with creating with it. My girls were super excited to see we got one and are coming up with ideas for making their own creations in the next few weeks. 

School is almost over and having something fun to do while learning a new skill is great for rainy days. With this filament from CoolPlus you get all 20 colors and each color is 32 feet long. That is amazing. My girls have lots of colors at their fingertips for making some neat projects. I might even have to give this 3D thing a try.
